Welcome to Zach to the Future. I'm your co-host, Dajal Driscoll, joined today by Malibu

Sands volleyball champion Mark Paul Gossler. Hello, Mark Paul. Hello, Dachal. You must be

referring to my playing ability of volleyball, beach volleyball. Yes.

Uh, in this particular episode. I am. Yeah, I'm referring to this episode, like usual. Okay. The adventure episodes, by the way. Yes, they are. And I looked ahead to really, I had a hard time wrapping my head around that. Like every other week was an adventure, uh, as Franco has it. but he's right. It really is. Like next week,

you're in the hospital. Surprise. You're not at Bayside. Like, you do really spend a lot of

this season, just not at school. I'm trying to figure out why the network NBC at that time

would do something like this. I think maybe because of the

success of the show and then you just try to branch out or was this something that Peter Engel wanted

to do or did he mention any of it in his book? I started, I'll be honest with you Mark Paul. I put

the book down pretty early into our podcast because it seemed like there was multiple versions of the truth going on. And without him here to sort of defend it, I felt weird bringing it up. But I will revisit the section on this season because I am curious. And I think this is all pointing towards a Franco episode. I hope he can make the time. I know he's very busy. But I do have, I have those same questions because it's like, it's certainly more, it's more money, you know? And generally speaking, that's not what the network is interested in doing, is spending more per episode. But yeah, we are at the beach this week. And why not just dive on into a recap? How about that? Well, you know, you brought up something interesting before you go into your recap.

It is more money to go on location.

I mean, the only way you can look at it is that Saved by the Bell was successful enough for us to go on location.

I'm just, I find it interesting that they burnt, not burned, but in a way, it wasn't like

appointment television in a way, you know, because when you put money into something,

you want to see your return.

But this almost, it's just weird how they aired these, right?

So you would air the original, save by the bell at Bayside, the half hour before and then

burn these in the half hour afterwards, which, why wouldn't you just have saved these

and just had its own run?

Yeah, I mean, that is, that is, it's interesting.

That is the question. I guess the answer was synd is. It's interesting. That is the question.

I guess the answer was syndication.
