Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Welcome to part two of She's Having My Baby Back Ribs. We had so much fun talking in the last episode that we spoke for almost an hour before we even started the recap. So please enjoy the recap. We're then at Corey and Topanga's apartment. Topanga's examining herself in the mirror and nervously asks aloud, do you think I'm attractive? Corey looks at her and grins. Of course I do.
Come over here. I'll prove it. As she walks over, we can see that her pants are unzipped and there's not that much fat to be found. She asks another question. You love me no matter what? Corey apprehensively asks, yeah, what's going on? She tries to zip up her jeans and explains nothing's going on. But when the zipper won't work, she runs away. Corey yells out, I know what it is.
You haven't had your morning stack of waffles slathered in butter and swimming in syrup, right? She runs back out still in her unzipped pants and says she's not very hungry this morning. Then she flops onto their bed and continues trying to zip up the pants. Corey starts pacing, trying to make sense of this. You don't want sex.
Chapter 2: What happens in the recap of 'She's Having My Baby Back Ribs'?
You're not hungry. Topanga, you're starting to scare me. Quick on her feet, she makes up an excuse. I'm feeling a little bit nauseous this morning. Then she screams, why Why can't I zip up these pants? Corey stares at her in confusion. Because they're mine. She turns to look at the label and says, oh no, I've got to go. And walks out.
What did you think of your performance in this scene? I felt like you were uncomfortable.
I'm so uncomfortable.
Like this is the one where I was like, you are not happy. And I think maybe it's because you just have unbuttoned pants. Like, I don't know.
No, I was really, you know what, this is, this is the scene of the entire episode that I remember more than anything, because it's the only one I can really remember being super honest with myself.

Chapter 3: How does Topanga feel about her appearance in the episode?
Like Will mentioned the, the conversation you have with yourself when someone's just called you into an office and told you it's obvious you've gained weight. And then you go, man, am I really, is it really that noticeable? Is this really that big of a deal? And then you go, yeah, I mean, I guess it is. I did when I started the show at 20%.
I did weigh, you know, 94 pounds and now I'm 19 and I weigh, you know, 115 or whatever it is. And so I have put on that weight and it is my responsibility. And as an actor, my body is part of my instrument and I'm supposed to, and everyone, I look at everyone else and you do all that.
And then you also go, and it is, I'm sure being that I think it's a funny episode now, I'm sure there was a part of me that understood why parts of it were funny then too, right? So I'm like, and it is funny. So why am I taking it so personally? This is the scene that bothered me the most.
And it's really because I remember thinking, I remember doing the wardrobe fitting for these jeans and they were a size either 26 or 27, which is a two or a four. I'm pretty sure they were a four. So they were either a number four or they were a 27, which is the equivalent of like a size four.
I knew no matter how I feel about my own body, because I was definitely like, I'm huge, I'm fat, I'm disgusting. Yeah. I knew that factually a size four is something most American women would think of as being borderline emaciated.
Right, right.
And yet we're going to do an entire episode around the fact that this size four woman has to be this concerned about her weight and her body. And that made me angry. It was like in that scene, in this scene in particular, I was aware, what are we saying to women? Mm-hmm. And I felt it the most in this scene.
Yeah, I can feel it. It was like, I was just watching you going, she is not happy. In the other scenes, like especially the second half, we're doing the jokes with the DVD and stuff.

Chapter 4: What comedic moments arise from Corey's interaction with Topanga?
I could tell you were actually having fun. Like this is fun. Those are fun lines and you were engaged, but this scene I was like, Oh, she is miserable. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It also started, it started when you and I were pulled into the office. We both to protect ourselves instantly went the laughing fun route. Yeah. Oh my God, this is going to be okay.
Well, this is going to be so great because the alternative would have been misery.
Yeah.
Yeah. And so it's like, well, let's find the jokes. Let's find that we're going to hit these jokes. Cause it's yeah. Again, it's all we had.
Yeah. Corey watches on with a frown. She took my pants.

Chapter 5: How do the characters react to the idea of pregnancy?
And then later in their bedroom, Corey's in bed with his arms crossed and Sean is next to him. Both are under the covers. Sean is eating a big pile of waffles and doesn't understand. These are fabulous. They're so light, so fluffy. Corey is annoyed. You don't have to tell me that. What the heck's going on? Sean lists off Topanga's symptoms. Tired, no appetite, cranky, nauseous.
She couldn't fit into Corey's pants. Corey angrily adds, and stole them. Sean pieces everything together and calmly asks Corey, how would you feel if these two big waffles got all slathered in butter and made a little waffle?
This is the weirdest metaphor. I was like, what?
Good analogy. Slathered waffles. I don't understand. They were already slathered in butter. So I don't understand why it wasn't just, what if these two big waffles that are slathered in butter got together and made, because why do, yeah, it was weird.
Yeah. It's just to get to the you want seconds joke. Like he's not getting it. He's not getting it.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the weight jokes in the episode?
Even though you've only taken one bite. There's two giant waffles like seconds. And he's like, you want more already? Finish the firsts.
I probably couldn't eat because I was out. This was a reshoot. Yeah.
What were you so sick?
Did you have mono? I had mono and the flu at the same time. My God, that's right.
So I...
You had the sickest I had ever been in my life. I was at my apartment, like, shivering and throwing up.
Oh, my gosh.
And my uvula swelled up so that I couldn't breathe. Like, you know, it was, like, hanging and blocking my throat. Oh, God. I know, man. It was so bad. Like, when I went to the doctors, they called in other doctors to show them how swollen my uvula was.
Like, look at this freak show.

Chapter 7: How do the characters express their feelings about body image?
It was awful. And so my girlfriend was our PA at the time, Brooke, who I ended up dating for seven years. And this was like early on in our relationship. We had just started dating and she took care of me. And like, yeah, she was just at my apartment whenever she was at work. Didn't you ironically lose a whole bunch of weight right before this?
Like, did you lose like 10 pounds in a week or something like that? I think what happened is we had a hiatus. That's why I have a goatee and I lost all this weight. It's because we had had a hiatus and then I was just like literally sitting in bed like shivering.
Not fair. Of all the weeks, why couldn't Will or I have gotten so sick? Why couldn't we have lost 10 pounds?
Yeah, exactly. By the way, I've heard from a number of people that you have a huge uvula.
Yes.
Huge. Huge. Big uvula energy.
Well, you know what they say, the bigger the uvula, the bigger the... Big U-E, B-U-E. Big uvula energy. Big swinging uvula. That's what Rider Strong comes in with. Big uvula energy.
Corey gives him a look. I know what you're saying. You want seconds. Hold on. Sean shouts, Nudnick, Topanga's pregnant. And Corey is shook. And then there's a tense ad break. We're back in Corey and Topanga's room. Corey doesn't understand how Topanga can be pregnant. So Sean breaks it down. When a man loves a woman, Corey cuts him off. No, I know about that. We were very careful.
Sean asks, did you use the yes? Was she on the uh-huh? Did you try the everything? Corey frowns. I'm not even sure we had sex. He starts to panic and Sean tries to calm him down. First, you're going to talk to her. Tell her everything's going to be okay. Corey isn't sold. Everything's not going to be okay. I can't be a father. I got a paper due on Friday, which is so funny. Great line.

Chapter 8: What surprising revelations occur during the baby shower?
I begin the rumor mill. Do we see him say Topanga's pregnant? No, I lean in. I'm like, I have something to tell you. And then it cuts to her telling the next person. So it's me that, I think it's Sean that breaks the... Right, but again, telling your partner is different than just going and telling all your friends. Maybe. Yeah.
And I already resent this child for ruining my life. And that's going to mean therapy for everybody. And well, mister, I just can't afford that. Sean admits he could be wrong. Maybe she's not pregnant. And this small sliver of doubt has Corey smiling. She's not? Oh, what a load off my mind. Sean instructs him to talk to his wife and find out what's really going on.
Corey nods in agreement and then tells Sean to give him his pants. I guess he has one pair of pants. And then we're in the student union. Topanga and Eric walk through the building and Eric keeps getting distracted by every person who passes by with food like he's in some sort of trance. Topanga reminds him that they've only been on this diet for 12 hours, so he needs to toughen up.
Eric is confused. Is that you, Topanga? She insists it's not that hard, but is then sidetracked by the smell of a Danish. Gross.
I always had fun working with you, Danielle. We very rarely got to do it.
We got to do it, but we always did have a lot of fun together.
We have a good episode coming up where you and I spent a lot of time together. This one was fun, too. Even just the little scenes were great.
I know. I like I do enjoy it. I think the common denominator is that everybody has fun working with you. Cause every time anybody gets to work with you, I'm like, that's a good pairing. It's like, well, there's a common denominator here. You and your genius. Eric grabs her. I can't do this. Okay. Women reject me based on who I am. Not what I look like. She tells him it's not all about him.
She wants to be as slender and beautiful as the day Corey met her. Eric reminds her you were two years old. She screams back. I'm telling you there's Danish in this room. She spots the Danish and bolts for it, but Eric holds her back, instructing her to go to her happy place. She thanks him and starts to calm down. Then Corey walks in undetected and notices their odd behavior.
