Welcome to Zach to the future. I'm your co-host,

Dachel Driscoll, joined today by Malibu Sam's volleyball champion, Mark Paul Gosler,

hello Mark Paul.

Hello, Dachel. You must be referring to my playing ability,

volleyball, beach volleyball, 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 as Franco has it.

But he's right, it really is. Like next week, you're in the hospital, surprise.

You're not at base side. 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 had mentioned any of it in his book?

You know, 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.

And 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.
