Welcome to Zach to the Future. I'm your co-host, Dashel Driscoll, joined today by Mark Paul Gossler. Hello, Mark Paul. Hi, Dashel. How are you? I'm doing great. You hesitated on the great. I'm beginning to wonder if you are doing great. Well, it's still 2020. Sure. And, you know. Yeah, I mean, how good are any of us doing? We're doing great. But yeah, I'm happy to be here, uh, sitting across from you and, and, uh, and hopefully have a light conversation about the episode that I got to watch. Hopefully, yeah, that would be the goal, uh, certainly on, on my end as well. Now, did you do your homework? The most fun question of the

week. What if I said, fuck you, I didn't do my homework and, you know, that would be the end of the show? No, it wouldn't because I prepared a brief summary. So in a sensible world, you might be the one doing the summary because it was your homework, but, you know, we're not living in that world. like you said, it is 2020.

So I'm glad you did do your homework,

which was to watch The Gift.

But in case you're listening living in that world, like you said. It is 2020. So I'm glad you did do your

homework, which was to watch The Gift, but in case you're listening and you didn't, which is

fine, please allow me to briefly summarize what happened in the episode. Take it away.

It is Mr. Testaverty's midterm week. Everyone's stressed out. Zach loses his ham radio

to a bet with Slater. When he has Screech

disconnect the radio from the roof, Screech gets struck by lightning, which he soon discovers

lets him see into the near future. Zach uses Screech's power to win a double or nothing

bet with Slater. Then right before Zach is getting the questions to the midterm, Zach accidentally

electrocute Screech's powers away. Zach makes a bet with Slater that he's going to ace the midterm and plans a study date with Kelly. Jesse and Lisa crashed the date, and Zach tells them all the questions he got from Screech. Screech tells Zach his powers are gone. Zach hatches a plan to keep Mr. Testa Verity at home and have Belding deliver a midterm with screech's questions, only it blows up in his face.

Zach fails the midterm and becomes Slater's slave for a week, per their most recent bet, the end.

So in going through this episode, and I've kind of asked you some questions about what you remember about specific things, but I'd just like to open it up by saying,

were there any big memories that were rattled loose from watching this, anything at all?

No, not in this particular episode.

There was nothing that I could point to that I, ah, moments.

No, not on this one.

I really enjoyed this episode, though.

It seemed more in line with just being a light, fun,

um, dare I say typical, Save by the Bell episode compared to the one we watched last week.
