A Look Back at Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

This is the supplemental episode 6 of the TFG

one podcast which has been taken over by Bueller

Ferris Bueller yes, that's right folks today's

episode is dedicated to all things Ferris Bueller

recorded January oh shit. What the hell was the

date recorded February 27th 2009? Hello and welcome

to the TFG1 podcast, which this supplemental

episode has nothing to do with Transformers whatsoever.

As you can tell by the two intros, this is all

about Ferris Bueller, and with me today is Steve

slash Megatron of PredaconEmpire .com. Hello,

Steve. Hey, what's going on? Oh god, my head

is killing me. I've been coughing all night.

My nose will either... It won't stop drying up

or it won't stop running off my fucking face.

It grew legs, jumped off - That's not funny when

it sucks. Yeah, it basically grew legs, got a

hugo stick, jumped off my face and ran down the

fucking street basically. Oh god, I've been like

this for almost a week now. I've been taking

every kind of medicine I can think of that is

not - You know prescribed by a friggin doctor

and I guess I'm gonna have to eventually go to

the fucking doctor And I don't want to do that

because doctors offices are evil. Yes Yes, they're

the devil Not really but if you noticed why they

call it a practice because they really don't

know what the hell they're doing They're just

using you as their test subject Exactly. They

don't know what the fuck they're doing fucking

doctors. Well, they know more scientists Oh,

we went to school. We have all these degrees.

Big fucking deal. If you can't... If you don't

know the difference between an artery and the

A -order, you're fucked. Yeah, that's a big difference.

Big difference. Wow. Yeah, wow. And then what

kills me is the doctor's offices that have the

fucking interns come in first and then... You

gotta basically talk to six different people.

When I go to the doctor's office that I go to,

which is just a general... General health office.

It's I don't have a specific primary care physician

Go and talk to one nurse go and talk to another

nurse get weight and height and all that crap

Sit in the room for about 15 minutes fucking

intern comes in Sit in the room again for another

20 minutes the doctor comes in writes me something

and then has me leave So my doctor's office visits

end up being an hour and a half at max and that's

that's just wrong Yeah, that's Wow. That's just

wrong. Hey, let's talk to retard number one.

Okay, here's retard number two. Okay, here's

retard number three. And finally, retard number

four. How are you doing? Yeah, exactly. So anyway,

that's a bit off topic. Today we are... I was

having a hard time trying to figure out what

to do for Supplemental 6 because obviously it's

due out this coming Friday and I hadn't really

put anything together and I didn't want it to

end up like Supplemental 5 which was just nothing

but random. So I had brought up to Steve the

point of either doing something with Ferris Bueller's

day off or... doing one of the Marvel movies,

and I just really wasn't into the Marvel movies.

I mean, we'll probably do those eventually. But

I had a hankering for watching Ferris, and I

popped it in and just laughed my ass off. So

today will be all about Ferris Bueller. Yes.

When did you first see this, and what did you

think about it when you first saw it? Oh, wow,

that's, uh... Yes, I'm gonna make you think this

morning. Damn you! Just because I'm awake. Well,

if you're awake, your brain should be functioning.

If your brain wasn't functioning, you wouldn't

be alive. Well, unless you were in the hospital

and you're brain dead and you're hooked up to

a whole bunch of machines and everything else,

but that's beside the point. Yeah, that's way

off topic. Shut up. But anyways, yeah, I think

I'd first seen the movie when I was around like

seven or eight. and uh... i sat there with my

dad's used to watch others like old eighties

movies because they were quite funny along the

lines of police academy and first viewer that

kind of movie line but um... i've always liked

the ferris bueller movie just because he's such

a badass and look so uh... like he couldn't pull

it off but you know we does in the fact that

he's way with everything in the entire movie

yeah pretty much uh... As far as me, I don't

remember when I actually first saw it. I just

don't. I know I saw it when I was younger. I

don't know when. It could have been 10, 11, 12.

I don't know. I'm not really sure. I know I didn't

see it when it came out because obviously I was

6 years old. I don't think any parent would let

their 6 year old watch Ferris Bueller. When did

it come out? 86. Wow. It's as old as me. Yep.

Wow, that really dates that movie. No, it really

dates your age. 23 year old bastard. Oh, not

23 yet. I will be in June. Still, bastard. Old

man. Fuck, I just turned 29. Damn it, I'm one

year closer to 30. Son of a bitch. I have a while.

I cannot believe that this movie is PG -13. Yes,

we should for back in the day Yeah, cuz most

of the movies back then were either G PG or R

Yeah, well they had some PG -13 which nowadays

is like PG Yeah, well shit. That's like G now

Rated R back then is like PG now I'm trying to

remember when I actually got this DVD. I don't

remember. I remember I saw it I was probably

at Best Buy or something and I saw it it was

just something that It was in you know it comes

with those that special slip cover that most

special editions come with now Yeah, and it said

the Bueller Bueller edition. I'm like what? Because

at first I thought it was only of course. I think

when I first got this was when VHS was still

going out So I looked at it, and I was like oh

Cool. And I got it and I watched it. I think

one of my favorite scenes is when they are trying

to fool Rooney when Cameron's on the phone as

Mr. Peterson. That is an awesome scene. That

was just hilarious. He starts getting all nervous

and worked up. Yep. And then... I think there's

only been... Two movies I've seen Edie McClurg

in. She played Grace the secretary in this. The

other one I saw her in was Airborne, which was

Shane McDermott, Brittany Powell, Jack Black

was in that. It was about a surfer who had to

go live with his aunt and uncle in Cincinnati.

But anyway, but Edie McClurg, one of the... One

of her famous lines was, oh, everybody likes

Ferris Bueller's from the Dweebies to the Wasteoids.

I don't even know. It'll be in the audio. It'll

be in the audio that we play after the episode.

But she was just hilarious. Just overall, it's

a feel -good movie. And you've got to love that

catchy music that's at the beginning and the

end. Yup. Yup. Like, you hear that, you know

Ferris Bueller. Oh, yeah. It's funny, at the

very end, I almost, uh, I watched through the

end credits, because the end credits, it has

the whole storyline of Mr. Rooney getting on

the school bus, and the school bus has, like,

Rooney must die, Rooney eats it, this, that,

and the other thing, because all the kids hate

him. Uh -huh. Well, after all the credits roll...

It goes it fades to black and you think that

it's over. Well the hallway the upstairs hallway

of the house Shows up and Ferris pokes his head

out and he goes what are you still doing here?

It's over go home. He turns around and walks

back to his bedroom or bathroom. Whatever it

is He goes go on go home and then it and then

it ends. So it's like that was really cool Okay,

there's another one. You're gonna have to edit

out damn you sorry oh crap it's one of those

coughs where you cough and it sends pains through

your whole fucking body yes oh that hurts so

anyway I'm familiar with those but yeah I like

the uh end part of the movie too where Ferz shows

up because they actually have it like while the

credits start playing they got it where Rooney's

going on the uh um Yeah. The boss, and then they

got the Ferris at the end, which was a nice touch

for that movie, because they usually don't do

that. Yeah. They don't do it anymore. Well, they

do it for certain movies, like the very end one,

but it's not usually as cool. It's usually just

like something that sometimes isn't even important.

I mean, that wasn't really important, but it

was. Well, the whole point of Matthew Broderick's

character as Ferris was... he talks to the audience,

he talks to the camera. And there are not that

many movies that do that anymore. And I was watching

the special features on it and John Hughes and

a couple of the casting people had said in the

cast and, or the, what is it called? The getting

the cast, or bringing the class together, the

cast of the movie, you know, Matthew in his Before

he did this had done two plays which he has to

talk to the audience So he was very comfortable

in doing that and that's what actually makes

this movie a really great One of the things that

make it a really great movie is he actually talks

to the audience like about faking out the parents

about you know Go with the clammy hands. Yeah,

it's it's cheesy and whatever else, but you know

don't fake a fever you're in and you know just

doing all that dialogue to the audience and not

to another actor makes it much more different

in more involved with your audience than just

a normal movie would yeah which was really cool

uh... and who can forget the uh... the baseball

scene and they go hey badda badda badda I saw

Wing badda that was just funny as hell Alan Ruck

is a great actor I don't know I'm gonna have

to look up afterwards what else he's been in

but that's pretty much the only thing I remember

him from he's been in a lot I think he was in

Just Shoot Me I think he was the captain of the

Enterprise B and Star Trek Generations oh wow

he was he's been in a lot of stuff as of late

Yeah, you kind of disappeared through part of

the 90s and then showed up towards the end of

the 90s early 2000s Yeah It's actually funny,

the parents that are on there, that play Ferris'

parents, they were actually dating and had a

relationship right before the movie started and

they're actually married to each other. So all

of that chemistry and them hugging and kissing

on camera and stuff, that was pretty much natural

for them, is what the actors said in the casting

special on the DVD because, you know, it's very

hard for anybody to go into an acting job and

have... Intimate chemistry with with your co

-star. Yes And then who can forget the sister

Jeannie she's just Jennifer gray. She played

that role really really well Basically Ferris

can get away with anything and she can't get

away with anything which is hilarious Yeah, very

much so. That was funny at the part where she

ended up at the police station and Charlie Sheen

was sitting there next to her. It's funny in

the special features she actually mentions about

that that she told John Hughes about Charlie

Sheen because originally I think John had asked

Emilio Estevez to play Ferris and Emilio said

he wasn't even going to think about it. So, uh,

she had mentioned to John about Charlie. She

said, Oh, he's, he's Emilio Estevez's brother.

You need to look at him. He'd be really good

in this scene. And that's how we get in there.

I think that, I think that was one of the first

roles I've ever seen him in. I don't know what

else he had done prior to or previous to that.

But, um, yeah, now it's like, when I think about

movies like, like Breakfast Club and Seattle's

fire and all that stuff Ferris Bueller and basically

all those comedies from the 80s when I'm watching

now It's like oh wow he was in it. Oh wow she

was in it. You know it's like wow You just don't

realize where half these famous people have come

from until you see some of the old movies Yeah

Holy crap what? 86 96 I'm doing some math in

my head. 2016 will be the 30th anniversary of

Ferris Bueller. Holy crap. Yeah. 2014 will be

the 30th anniversary of Transformers. Jeez. Yeah.

So that means which, even though I said there

wasn't gonna - You keep talking, I'll be right

back. Ah, damn it, don't do this again. Ah, fucking

dog. Uh... So basically that means if 2014 is

the 30th anniversary of Transformers... Even

though I said that we weren't going to do any

Transformers talk on here... That means that

they're going to be coming out with a 30th anniversary

toy line. So... Yeah. Son of a bitch! Damn it!

Sorry. Yeah, well... Didn't go into all things

earth to I just noticed my little statement there

when I said was That you know 2014 is gonna be

the 30th anniversary which you know, they're

gonna put out a 30th anniversary toy line Oh,

yeah, you know, so anyway Did you know I'm gonna

probably buy this when it comes on its 30th anniversary?

I don't own it right now I have it on VHS, I

think, but that's because I have a VCR that is

not hooked up, but it's in my entertainment center.

Well, yeah, the other thing when I was watching

this, Alan Ruck was talking about the car scenes

with the Ferrari. Oh yeah. That wasn't a Ferrari.

He said that the insurance premiums for them

to Even rent the car rent the feet the Ferrari

GT, California 250 GT, California Or astronomical

just to even have it sit on set not even have

anybody driving it So what they did was they

took a bunch of old I think it was a Ford Mustang

body and they built a fiberglass shell over it

to make it look like the Ferrari nice, you know

Yeah, I think I think the most shocking scene

in the entire movie was when he started beating

the hell out of that car. And then he just leaned

on it and the damn thing went out the damn window.

That was funny in hell. Yeah. But it's like,

you know, you see the look on Cameron's face

and then you see the look on Ferris and Sloan's

face and you're just, you just have the same

look on your face like, oh my... God, because

I didn't know until I actually watched the special

features. I didn't know it wasn't a freaking

Ferrari Yeah, I mean cuz hell it looks just like

a Ferrari so yeah, it could have fooled me of

course in the transformer movie the first one

yeah, the Camaro the Camaro they used for Bumblebee

No, the beat -up one or the new one the new one.

Yeah, that actually was not one. It was a fiberglass

body I think put over top of Mustang. Pontiac.

It was like a G6 or something. So what's your

favorite scene if you had to pick one? Well,

I like where the parade in the middle of the

city. Where he's down there just dancing and

singing and everything and he ends up passing

by his dad and everything and yeah Yeah, yeah

that that that parade scene was great And it's

actually funny they actually Chicago actually

has parades like that I mean that was a that

was some German parade that that the film crew

had almost filmed in on and they just asked the

The people that were running it, it says in the

special features. They asked the people that

were running it, hey, can we get on a couple

floats and just kind of, you know, whatever?

And they said, yeah, sure. There was over 10

,000 extras there that day. And they weren't

even extras that were on the movie set. It was

just people from the parade. It was just people

in Chicago at the time. Nice. That's one thing

about the John Hughes movies. They're always,

most of the majority of them are all filmed in

Chicago. Think Breakfast Club was filmed outside

of Chicago, but the original He says it in any

special features John the original pitch he wanted

Breakfast Club to be in Chicago They're gonna

have a crap load of movies coming from Michigan

within the next few years because they're building

three movie studios here Maybe you can actually

get a new job now That'd be nice and just have

one job instead of two. Yeah, they're having

animation studio opening, a production studio,

and a movie studio, all within 45 minutes of

me. Cool. Yeah, so that would be awesome. But

it's also because Michigan's so poor and they

have very, very low taxes for movie studios,

but they have to hire tons of people. That's

the conditions that they get the tax break, so.

Oh, that's just funny. Yeah, um... The special

features that are on this, like I said before,

it's getting the class together, the cast of

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which is just all the

cast members and the directors and some of the

producers and stuff talking about the movie.

The making of, and it shows how they did it and

what they did. And then who is Ferris Bueller

is just talking about the actual character and

Matthew playing the character. The world according

to Ben Stein, which unfortunately I sat through

this and watched it It's not a special feature.

I think that needs to be on here, but apparently

According to Ben Stein that he used to work for

Richard Nixon and Which is just fine whatever

I mean hell Ben Stein's likes well when these

features were recorded they were recorded in

2005 so he said he was 60 Apparently through

Nixon he met one of the producers or met somebody

and then they met somebody and then they met

somebody and that's how he got into Meeting John

Hughes or whatever. So basically he credits Nixon

for his you know, Bueller Bueller Yeah, that

definitely was a very important scene Because

that's something that if you say it everybody

knows what the hell you're talking about. Oh,

yeah There's most of that movie everybody knows

what you're talking about. Well. Yeah pretty

much I mean it's one of those it's one of those

80s movies that Just will hold up over time.

I mean you know it could be Damn it It could

be 2099 there will only be three people left

on this earth, and they would still know what

the hell Ferris Bueller is And then there's Vintage

Ferris Bueller of the Lost Saves, which is basically

Matthew and Alan and Mia Sarah, and I think his

name was Jeffrey Jones that played Rooney. They're

all just talking around and Matthew's kind of

like interviewing them and stuff like that. It

was pretty funny. And then there's A Class Album,

which is just a bunch of still shots. photographs

of all the cast and stuff so I don't know it's

a good DVD to have I mean if I were you I wouldn't

wait till I mean granted I usually wait for for

a 30th or for for anniversary two -disc editions

and stuff like that but this is a great DVD to

have just as is because there's a lot of stuff

on here as far as the special features a lot

of insight as to what how the movie was made

and stuff like that yeah I would probably still

I'll probably buy it, but I just yeah I'll probably

wait till I find other movies that I want to

buy with it online so I can get it set as a bundled

set Yeah, it's uh It's very funny Another one

of the funniest scenes is when he's talking to

the people at school on the payphone What's her

name? Christy Swanson that was in the beginning

of it that plays Simone in the classroom When

she go when she says my best friend's brother's

girlfriend's friend said he you know and she

goes and then Ben Stein goes Oh, thank you smoke,

and she goes no problem whatsoever and then Originally

she was supposed to pull She was supposed to

play the girl that got on the phone with Ferris

asking him if it was serious and Ferris was making

noises the puking noises She was supposed to

play that role, but they had already shot it

So John Hughes told her that, you know, I have

this other role, but it's in the classroom. You'll

be, you know, this girl named Simone. She's like,

oh, okay, cool. You know, Chrissy Swanson was

only 15 when she did that role. That's crazy.

Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, that is very much crazy.

I'm trying to think. What else? What's her name

Mia Sarah? She was only 18 when she played that

role for for Sloan So she had just graduated

high school or was about to so I mean she looked

younger than that though Yeah, she wasn't she

was she was 18. Yeah, I think she actually looked

older than what she was She looked like she was

early 20s I Haven't seen her in anything since

this Try Birds of Prey. I haven't seen it, so...

Try finding that on YouTube or something. She

plays Harley Quinn, Dr. Harley and Quinzel, which

is a complete... If you've only seen her in Ferris

and then you watch Birds of Prey, you won't even

recognize her, but it is her. Wow. Yeah, it's

a complete opposite. I'm about to pull this crap

up on IMDB. What is? What? What crap? The Ferris

Bueller movie now. I want to find out crap about

it, so. Did you know there was a TV series of

it? I think I heard about it, but I could care

less. The only Ferris Bueller I know is the movie.

Yeah, I know the movie, but apparently there

is a TV series on it That was based off of the

movie, and it was a half -hour Comedy it's kind

of like saved by the bell kind of and it was

it came out in 1990 to 1991 obviously it crapped

out but um Yeah, they had none of the originals

obviously Yeah, obviously. They had this Charlie

Schlatter as Ferris Bueller. They had Jennifer

Aniston as Jeannie Bueller. Are you serious?

Yeah, I'm not joking. That's fucked up. Yeah,

they had all different people though. They had

another girl playing Sloan. See that just that

pisses me off When two when when people do that

to movies that really pisses me off Because it's

not taking any It's not taking any homage to

the original movie what's to the original work

whatsoever? And it's replacing characters or

actors that basically they don't own the roles

of course no no actor owns a role but They made

those roles come to life. You know? And that's

like... That's like, uh, supposedly there's gonna

be, now that Heath Ledger's dead, there's gonna

be a 10 Things I Hate About You TV series. Which

that, uh, I won't be watching that shit. Yeah.

Here's a link to the, uh, to, uh, forum posting

over on Earth2 that has a, uh, a comparison picture

of me. Between Ferris and Birds of Prey it's

out one post down in the thread on the fifth

page But yeah, I mean this is a movie that I

can pretty much if I like if I need to feel good

This is a movie. I would put in my DVD player

to watch and have a good laugh Overall it's like

I said before it's really stood up over time

I think and It's not one of those movies that

doesn't age well Yeah I'm trying to think of

a movie that didn't age well that I could compare

it to Well that lady looks totally different

Told you You look her in the Ferris because I

actually took the Ferris shot from the movie

from when I was watching on the computer And

then I found this shot online because I didn't

feel like getting up and she looked 10 times

better in the Ferris Bueller movie Yeah, but

it doesn't even look like her and Birds of Prey

at all it doesn't look of course you know she's

aged Birds of Prey came out in 2003 and so Yeah,

whatever I can't believe they had a Ferris Bueller

TV show that's stupid Yeah, that's that's really

dumb Well, I guess there's it looks like they

were trying to make a new movie of it like a

sequel yeah Yeah, and so This report came out

of December this last year. Oh, really? Yeah

Because people have made offers to make a second

Ferris Bueller movie. Yeah, and he says that

Because he's 46 he wouldn't be able to make the

character believable He says I can't play the

young rebellious guys anymore. He says he doesn't

want to ever reprise that role because he's too

old Well, I mean I can sympathize with him Because

I mean, you know... It's just, uh... You know,

it's a classic role. Oh yeah, well that's something

you should never make a sequel to. Like, for

instance, look at Dumb and Dumber. I mean, granted,

that's not a classic classic. Yeah, but Dumb

and Dumber is... It's something you can never...

Yeah, I know what you're saying. It's something

they should have never... made a sequel to which

technically Dumber or Dumb and Dumber was a prequel

but I mean yeah I'm not into this whole prequel

prequel movie things as third movies and crap

like that oh yeah yeah Ferris it he's basically

a one -shot character it was it's basically a

stolen moment in time for that for that error

for that that those set of actors oh crap for

that movie you know that's it oh yeah and that

will always be it oh look up ruck because I don't

I can't I can't remember him right now yeah I'm

pulling it up myself well he's been in mad about

you he's been in spin city It wasn't just shoot

me was spin city that he was on I had that mixed

up He's been in various Star Trek projects playing

the captain of the Enterprise B Holy crap he

was in Stargate Atlantis He's been a lot of shit

no way What I did not know that that was Alan

Rock holy crap what he plays one of the one of

the gay guys in spin city which there's nothing

wrong with that but holy crap he plays stuart

uh bondrick or bondek or whatever his name is

i don't know how you say it yeah wow holy crap

i did not know that he was in picket fences he

was in speed Huh and the silence could yeah well

but uh yeah Matthew Broderick's not been doing

any TV series as of late. He's been doing mostly

movies Yeah, I think the last movie. I saw him

in was decked the halls with him and Danny DeVito

Wow, there's been some other one like ice he

was a big ice. Okay. Well yeah I'd seen that

I'd seen Finding Amanda where he plays a guy

that's a drunk and a guy that um He spends a

lot of money gambling And finds out his niece

is a prostitute so in Vegas So that was pretty

good movie, but I guess he's got one movie coming

out this year. Yeah Margaret whatever the hell

that is. Yeah He's got that chick that played

rogue on X -Men. Oh, Anna Paquin. Matt Damon.

Anna Paquin, yeah. Yep. Oh, that's what else.

I knew I'd seen him in something else. He did

the voice of Simba in the Lion King movies. Oh,

yeah. You didn't know that? No, I forgot all

about it. I knew about it. I just forgot about

it. But it's just it's weird to me and some of

the stuff that that some actors show up in well

get this the guy that played Rooney and Yeah,

and there he played Sir Swamy and Justice League

Hell's wrong with you. You didn't even know you're

one of your favorite shows of who is in it Well,

I don't even remember who the fuck sir. Swamy

is so yeah see I thought damn it I thought brought

I thought Matthew Broderick was in an episode

of law and order special victims unit but I guess

not I don't know usually anybody that's everybody

or half the time nobody that's anybody is in

law and order at least once yeah Now I'm gonna

have to think about that off. I have to go through

the damn Justice League DVD today after we finish

record you bastard. I Love irritated, but uh

Yeah, Charlie Sheen he's been in a crapload of

stuff. Yeah, we all I mean yeah currently he's

in two and a half men I think yeah a funny show

Unless they've cancelled that which hopefully

they will It's not that bad there's worse shit

on TV right now Oh, okay, let the the legends

episodes. Yeah Yeah, I remember now. I didn't

realize that was him, but yeah, okay I know which

episodes he's in so yeah now. I don't have to

go through the whole Justice League DVDs later.

That's good Holy crap he was in Stuart Little

That's where I remember him from The Devil's

Advocate. He played Eddie Barzoom. Yep. Eek the

Cat. Oh my god. I remember that show that's so

old. Crap. Yeah, 1996. Jeez. Duckman. I remember

that. Man, we got way off topic from Ferris Bueller.

Yeah, pretty much. Well, when you start looking

shit up, I gotta start looking shit up, and that's,

yeah, well... But anyway, the audio will take

care of everything. I just gotta get those clips

in order, that's all. Is there anything else

that we wanna touch on? Did you pick a favorite

moment of the movie? Yes. Which was? The scene

where they're... Out in the parade. Oh, okay,

that's right. Yeah If I had to pick one favorite

one, I would probably have to say The scene where

they're putting one over on Rooney when Ferris

ends up hitting him when he goes when he's asking

her or when he's telling Rooney where he wants

Sloan to be and he says Have her outside front

of the school in ten minutes by herself and then

Ferris hits them and they go back and forth I

would have to If I had to pick one overall scene

that would be my favorite because the banter

between the two of them Matthew Broderick and

Alan Ruck are what are like what John Cusack

and Jeremy Piven are to each other basically

they're just two best friends because actually

they'd already worked together they were already

best friends before they had acted in the movie

it wasn't like two stone -cold actors coming

in and having to have chemistry they were already

friends and pretty much almost any movie that

In comparison to those two any movie that John

Cusack is in Jeremy Piven's in an almost every

Every single movie that each each one of them

is done. Even if it's just a small background

role Yeah So Yeah, I think we're gonna end this

supplemental episode Let me pull are we completely

destroy it. Well, I think my coughing fits have

completely destroyed it, but that's beside the

point Let me pull up what's next up on TFG1,

I think. What is next? Oh yeah, episode 7. I've

already recorded some of these episodes, folks,

so it's kind of hard to keep up. Hell, last week

I didn't think I had sent Steve all the audio

for episode 6, and I was screwing that up, so...

Yeah, and I still got that online. Yeah. Last

week sucked. I did three freaking, like, podcast

edits early in the morning. Yeah, well, you still

forgot to put the fucking Birdman audio in. Yeah,

but I put the art in. Yeah, yeah. It's not one

or the other, it should be both, dammit. Hey,

you get one or the other, make your mind. Bullshit.

Alright, well... The episode 7, well let's see,

I'll just go ahead and read the script. Well,

that's all for this supplemental episode of the

TFG1 Podcast. Join me next time when I'll be

It's the ninth sick day this semester. It's getting

pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If

I go for ten, I'm probably going to have to barf

up a lung. So I better make this one count. The

key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands.

It's a good nonspecific symptom. I'm a big believer

in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good

phony fever is a deadlock. But if you get a nervous

mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office.

That's worse than school. You fake a stomach

cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and

wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish

and stupid, but then so is high school. Life

moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look

around once in a while, you could miss it. No

problem whatsoever. I'm so disappointed in Cameron.

Twenty bucks says he's sitting in his car debating

about whether or not he should go out. He'll

keep calling me. He'll keep calling me until

I come over. He'll make me feel guilty. This

is ridiculous, okay? I'll go. I'll go. I'll go.

I'll go. I'll go. I'll go. Shit. Mr. Peterson?

No, I think I owe you an apology, sir. Well,

I should say you do. I... I... Well, I think

you should be sorry, for Christ's sake. A family

member dies and you insult me. What the hell

is the matter with you, anyway? Well, I really

don't know, sir. I didn't think I was talking

to you. I thought I was talking to somebody else.

You know, sir, that I would never... Deliberately

insult you like that. I I can't begin to tell

you how embarrassed I am Pardon my French, but

you're an asshole Asshole, yeah, we absolutely

right sir. You've hit the nail right in the head

Buster do you read me loud and clear mr. Peterson

call me sir. God damn it. Yes. Yes. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir Now, you just mind your P's and Q's,

buster, and remember who you're dealing with.

Bueller. Ferris Bueller. Now, I'm a little scared,

because what if he recognizes my voice? Possible.

You're doing great. Yeah? Jesus! Wait! Rooney!

Office difficulty, sir. Rooney, I don't have

all day to bark at you, so I'm gonna make this

short and sweet. I want my daughter out in front

of the school in ten minutes by herself. I don't

want anybody... What? It's too suspicious. He'll

think something's up. Cover it. You. Talk. You.

Talk. Come on. 306. Talk. No. Rooney! Rooney!

Yes. Yes. Listen here. Pay attention. I changed

my mind. I want you out in front of the school

with her. I'd like to have a few words with you,

by God. On second thought, we don't have time

to talk right now. We'll get together Sloan and

we'll have lunch. What the hell is wrong with

you? Wait! Wait! Where's your brain? Why'd you

kick me? Where's your brain? Why'd you kick me?

Where's your brain? I asked you first. How can

we pick up Sloan if Rooney is there with her?

I said for her to be there alone and you freaked.

No, I didn't. I didn't hit you. I lightly slapped

you. You hit me. Look, don't ask me to participate

in your stupid crap if you don't like the way

I do it. You make me get out of bed. You make

me come over here. You make me make a phony phone

call to Edward Rooney? The man could squash my

nuts into oblivion and then you deliberately

hurt my feelings. No, I didn't deliberately hurt

your feelings. Oh, really? Really. No. No, I

didn't. What are you doing? See you later, pal.

I'm going home. No, come on. Don't do that. Have

a nice life. Cameron, wait a minute. Cameron,

come back. I didn't mean to lose my temper. I'm

sorry. It was uncalled for. You serious? Yeah.

Oh, well, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos,

the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids,

dweebies, dickheads. They all adore him. They

think he's a righteous dude. Ladies and gentlemen,

you're such a wonderful crowd. We'd like to play

a little tune for you. It's one of my personal

favorites. And I'd like to dedicate it to a young

man who doesn't think he's seen anything good

today. camera fry this one's for you Me neither.

I got you, Ferris. How's Ferris? Let's go in

and check. Okay. How was your day? I have reamed

about this. This time, God damn you, little bastard.

I've got you right where I want you. Ferris,

we're home. So... How would you feel about another

year? Personal supervision. Hi. Thank God you're

all right. You know, we've been worried sick

about you. Thank you, Mr. Rooney, for driving

him home. Now, I want you to go upstairs and

get in bed. Scoot! Can you imagine someone as

sick as Ferris trying to walk home from the hospital?

Oh, kids. By the way, Mr. Rooney, you left your

wallet on the kitchen floor. He's still awfully

warm. How do you feel? One hundred and fifty

percent better. Thank you. Please, don't make

me stay home again. I want to go to school. I

have to graduate in June, and I... Ferris, you're

sick. And don't go pushing it and making yourself

worse. Maybe you're right, Dad. I know I'm right,

pal. How did you get to be so sweet? Years of

practice. I'm going to get myself settled and

I'll bring you a hot cup of soup, okay? Yep.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life

moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around

once in a while. You could miss it. The TFG1

Podcast has all your 80s goodness with full coverage

of the Generation 1 cartoon and beyond. This

is Mike the Birdman Dodd saying live free or
