Welcome to Zach to the Future. I'm your co-host, Dashel Driscoll, joined today by Mark Paul Gossler. Hi, Dashel. Hello, Mark Paul. It is so good to see you on this day. It's so good to see you on this day. Yeah, we won't say which day it is because we don't know when you're listening to it. We want to just, whatever day it is for you, that's the day. so good to see you, Mark Paul. It's the listener's day

every day. Every day. And Mark Paul, did you do your homework? Dashel, I did my homework. And it wasn't as easy as last week's homework, I must say. I enjoyed the show like I always do. I always like watching the gang and, you know, that theme song.

Because I'm saved by the bell. That was good. Do you want to put a little more like from your diaphragm? You want to like really like belt it out there? I don't feel I have it in me to do it now. Maybe later in the show. I'll give you a better bell. Okay. Well, it'll be, you know, it'll be a little later in the day.

Maybe you'll just be, you know, we'll see. We'll see if we get there.

But back to the show, Dashel. Help me out here because I feel a little conflicted by this particular episode. It wasn't as carefree and innocent as the last episode, but maybe it's

because I'm watching it through these eyes and not the eyes of a 13-year-old or the audience that watched it back in the 90s.

Yeah, no, this is definitely one of the more jarring episodes to go back and rewatch. I think you're spot on about that.

And I don't, like, this plot did not stand out to me as a, as a childhood viewer. When I went back to watch it as an adult, it was like, whoa, this is, this is pretty, I mean, it's played for laughs and it's supposed to be fun, but it's definitely like unsettling would be the word I would use. Okay, well, how about this? How

about we put a disclaimer out there? We're not going to turn a, we're not going to say that we don't

see some of the morally abhorrent or dated, you know, situations and responses to certain things.

But we're also here to give you a fun podcast.

It's a celebration of, say, by the bell.

So with that in mind, I mean, I feel like we're doing, you know, like I said, a disclaimer.

But with that in mind, if we don't comment on something, it's not because we didn't see it.

It's just because we want you to just have fun with us and enjoy the show, the way you did when you were watching it, you know, maybe not as the evolved human being that you are today. Yeah, we recognize it's messed up, but we're also not here to just tell you how messed up it is. Let's, you know, let's try and have You know what it. You know what it comes down to, Dashel? This isn't Zach Morris's Trash. If you want that,

you can go on YouTube and you can catch it there. And it's brilliant work, by the way. I've said this from... Oh, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, you're welcome. I've said this from the very beginning. I'm a huge fan of Zach Morris's Trash.
