It's me, Brandon Kyle Goodman, but you can call me Messy Mom because on my podcast, Tell Me Something Messy, my fantastic guests are bringing their mess like singer-songwriter Duran Bernard suggesting we reinstate adult sleepovers with friends. Here's the thing. Get a group that's mature enough not to be putting your hand in warm water and tickling you.

This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. Back then, I lied to everybody. They have had this case for 30 years. I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth.

58.385 - 64.921 Ryder Strong

Listen to The Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

64.942 - 75.448 Unknown

I actually drop better when I'm high. It heightens my senses, calms me down. If anything, I'm more careful. Honestly, it just helps me focus.

76.12 - 93.741 Ryder Strong

That's probably what the driver who killed a four-year-old told himself. And now he's in prison. You see, no matter what you tell yourself, if you feel different, you drive different. So if you're high, just don't drive. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

95.729 - 114.528 Unknown

Crook and Chase Nashville chats with the true-life adventures of hot new country star Hudson Westbrook. Early in his career, he shocked his mom more than once, and we even shocked him on what we had to do to get to visit with him. I've seen some people do some crazy things, but nothing like that. Plus, what Hudson almost had in common with Billy Bob Thornton.

Chapter 2: What new favorite curse word does Will discover?

453.552 - 474.478 Ryder Strong

There was a DJ playing great music. And then in the open space, they did musical chairs for the kids. Then when the kids were done, they did musical chairs for the adults and they played all like nineties and eighties music for the adults.

474.498 - 474.778 Unknown

Good idea.

0

475.265 - 506.492 Ryder Strong

And then they did streamers, silver streamers, kind of like tinsel, but wide, thick tinsel. Tons of it. They stood in a corner with a blower, like a leaf blower. Turned it on and then threw the tinsel in front of it. And it was like a rave. Tinsel flying everywhere. Kids just dancing their foul heads off. Parents, them picking up the tinsel, throwing it everywhere.

506.512 - 528.259 Ryder Strong

It's going, it's absolutely insane. It was a kid's rave. It was a kid's rave birthday party. And I have never had so much fun at a birthday party. It sounds like amazing. They probably give little kid doses of ecstasy. Just small ones. Yeah, little, small, just under the tongue. Everyone's pupils are this big. You're barely going to roll.

530.682 - 530.862

Lollipop.

530.882 - 533.265 Ryder Strong

Pacifiers. Just chewing their face off.

533.285 - 536.669 Unknown

I'm having so much fun. You just can't stop tickling Elmo.

536.71 - 554.804 Ryder Strong

This is the best. A kid rave. I mean, every kid probably went home and passed out. Adler was asleep in 30 seconds in the car. Jensen sent me a picture. He was like this.

555.527 - 555.627

Yeah.

Chapter 3: How do they differentiate between a 'douche' and a 'twat'?

687.529 - 693.58 Unknown

To keep this secret for so many years, he's like a seasoned pro.

695.213 - 703.106 Ryder Strong

This is a story about the end of a marriage, but it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark.

0

703.687 - 708.594 Unknown

You're a dangerous person who preys on vulnerable and trusting people. Your creditor might go up in good.

717.59 - 732.5 Brandon Kyle Goodman

I'm Brandon Kyle Goodman, the host of the Tell Me Something Messy podcast. I wanted to create a safe, comfy place for all of us to talk about sex, relationships, and what it means to be human and baby. My fantastic guests are bringing their mess to share with the class.

732.901 - 737.59 Ryder Strong

Like singer-songwriter Duran Bernard suggesting we reinstate adult sleepovers with friends.

737.57 - 744.837 Brandon Kyle Goodman

Here's the thing. Get a group that's mature enough not to be putting your hand in warm water and tickling you.

744.877 - 746.825 Unknown

You know what I'm saying?

746.845 - 771.66 Brandon Kyle Goodman

I mean, granted, I might be doing it. And I think it's important for those examples of that, of us just being gentle with one another because the world and the people in it are already finding brand new ways to whip our ass every single day. So the least we could do is make strides to handle each other in a way that is a bit more mindful.

Chapter 4: What happens at the children's rave party?

1686 - 1716.261 Ryder Strong

Yeah, no. And as a man, you're just taught no matter what you look like. It just didn't matter. Your inherent value is in your penis. Well, thank you. It's about time someone noticed. I always call my penis the shock and awe because at first they're shocked and they're like, aw. How long have we been sitting on that joke? Oh God, since shock and awe. What was that, the 90s?

0

1716.281 - 1742.985 Ryder Strong

When did we invade Iraq the first time? Is that what it was? oh my gosh we quickly cut to a location less startling for the show we're in the girl's apartment Topanga is buried in tomorrow's bride magazine impatiently tapping her finger on its spine she abruptly closes it come on what's taking you guys so long when no one appears immediately she claps her hands and shouts come on come on come

0

1744.13 - 1773.647 Ryder Strong

I heard Michael in that. Of course. Just knew exactly. Oh, I heard that. I heard that this week. With that, Angela and Rachel stomp into the room wearing giant pink dresses with puffy sleeves, purple bow accents, and a matching floppy hat. Think deep south little bow peep Barbie, and the girls are not stoked to be wearing it. Topanga is in shock. Then she starts to tear up. Those are the most...

0

1773.745 - 1793.947 Ryder Strong

beautiful dresses I have ever seen. Rachel looks at Angela in horror. Don't you think maybe you're a little too emotional to make the right decision about this? Topanga's unfazed. She just reiterates how beautiful the dresses are until Angela just gives up knowing there's no way to change her mind. Topanga wonders, where's Morgan? I want to see how beautiful my future sister looks.

0

1794.548 - 1818.639 Ryder Strong

Rachel calls her into the living room, sarcastically adding, share the joy. So Morgan comes walking out in the same getup, somehow a little less offensive. So the inmates, aw, at how adorable it kind of looks. She disagrees and bluntly asks Topanga, what are you, psycho? But Topanga is adamant that she looks beautiful. Morgan assures her, we look like clowns. Angela tries to lessen the blow.

1818.899 - 1831.454 Ryder Strong

Beautiful clowns. Rachel chimes in, Cirque du Soleil clowns. Morgan argues, no, horn honking, big shoe wearing clowns. So good. So funny. I just love that Morgan's the truth teller throughout this whole episode.

1831.474 - 1833.797 Danielle Fishel

Morgan's like, I'm not going to do this. I'm over it.

1833.857 - 1851.416 Ryder Strong

I'm done. The rest of these people don't love you. No one's telling you the truth. I wish they'd just always written her character this way. I mean, there's those insinuations of it earlier, you know, that she's sarcastic. But like if she just walked into every scene and was like, you're crazy, Corey. You're an idiot. Eric, you're a terrible boyfriend. You're going to lose her. Yes.

1851.436 - 1867.293 Ryder Strong

It would have been a great like voice of reason to always be able to just have her like this. It's so funny. Oh my God. The girls try to get her to calm down, but Morgan just tells Rachel to shut up and defiantly tells Topanga, I ain't wearing it. We returned to that black background couch with Topanga and Corey.

Chapter 5: What themes emerge from the wedding planning discussion?

2931.67 - 2944.579 Ryder Strong

I'm not sure why. I'm not. I'm not. Maybe because she's harping on how much he loves Sean. That's the only thing I have to take away from that. Maybe, but it's delivered so sweetly. It's like, we get it, honey. Just move on. As opposed to like, we get it.

0

2945.139 - 2945.62 Danielle Fishel

Move on.

0

2945.92 - 2963.311 Ryder Strong

Yeah, I don't know. Are you blaming your own performance? I guess. If it was supposed to be a joke. It should have been more of an eye roll. Exactly. It should have been like, we hear this all the time. But Topanga's never had, that's not a thing for Topanga until Girl Meets World. I think it's next episode, though. Okay.

0

Chapter 6: How do Corey and Topanga address their wedding challenges?

2963.331 - 2977.749 Ryder Strong

I think the actual wedding becomes about how Cora and Sean are the real relationship and Topanga feels cut out. I think that's... So we're already... I think they already knew that they were going to... They're foreshadowing. Oh, they're setting it up. Okay. Okay. All right. Yeah, you're right. That hasn't been the dynamic. That's not the dynamic.

0

2977.769 - 2980.292 Ryder Strong

The dynamic is that... So this is where we establish that dynamic.

0

Chapter 7: What comedic moments arise during the wedding planning?

2980.613 - 2983.296 Unknown

Because I remember during Girl Meets World being a little confused by it.

0

2983.316 - 3001.742 Ryder Strong

Yeah, me too. Being like, I don't remember this. My entrance on that show was like all about... him ignoring you to be with me. And I was, yeah. And in retro, that hasn't happened this entire show. No, as a matter of fact, Topanga encourages their friendship and loves their relationship. And yeah, I, I've never, it's never. Even when I'm cheating on,

0

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with the wedding invitation?

3001.722 - 3022.675 Ryder Strong

On my girlfriend with Corey. It's always about my... She's not letting... Topanga's actually helping us get back to... Yeah. Yeah, I stand up for you guys. I'm like, these are... That's so interesting. So it's never... That's never... That's why I'm saying I didn't... When I saw this, I didn't think... oh, that was a bad performance. I thought, why did they need Topanga to shut him up?

0

3023.316 - 3038.582 Ryder Strong

Why couldn't it just be a quick blurb? We've already done these quick blurbs. Why couldn't he just say, my best friend, my absolute best friend who I love, Sean's the greatest guy there is. And then we go back to the other thing. Why'd they need me jumping in? So if that was supposed to be the joke that I was starting to feel jealous, one, that would have been the first time we've seen it.

0

3038.842 - 3041.567 Ryder Strong

And two, definitely needed a different performance.

0

3041.547 - 3045.893 Unknown

It's interesting because when we went to ATX, that television festival.

0

3046.494 - 3048.957 Ryder Strong

When my best friend Jamie got married and I wasn't there, yeah.

3048.977 - 3062.256 Unknown

Right. So you weren't there, but Michael did a talk, like a Q&A, an extended thing about writing and his career. And it was really interesting because he talked about a lot of things that I didn't know, like his past and stuff.

3062.236 - 3080.893 Unknown

One of the things he said is that his favorite theme that he goes back to all time and time again is the conflict, the comedy that can come from the conflict between best friends and a girlfriend or a romantic partner. And that triangle, that sort of idea that like, you know, you have your best friend, but you also have your girlfriend or your wife.

3081.173 - 3093.948 Unknown

And it's interesting because he's talked about how he's written that into all his previous shows, like My Two Dads. It's always that. And so I always assumed that it was an essential conflict of Boy Meets World, but it actually hasn't been. That's so interesting.

3094.265 - 3126.212 Ryder Strong

No, hasn't been. I mean, it becomes it clearly. And I think sometimes it is for maybe for Corey. Corey feels a little torn sometimes between who will I spend the time with, my best friend or my woman. But Topanga's never been the problem. Topanga's never created the conflict for him. He's felt the conflict about who do I want to spend this moment with or how do I include them both? So anyway.
