1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,320
9-1-1, what's your emergency?

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,960
What are you wearing?

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:14,480
Nothing at all.

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,480
I think that's good.

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,480
I think that's fun.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,520
We've officially become a Not Safe for Work podcast.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,520
Officially.

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,840
I like that in our buck abbey, I guess role play or whatever.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,840
I'm abbey.

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,560
I'm a buck.

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,440
We always knew this was the case.

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,060
Yeah, I feel like with the amount of lesbians on Twitter that I've seen that very much identify

13
00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:40,560
with buck, that tracks.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,440
This is a very lesbian fandom.

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,440
I've noticed that.

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Oh, yeah.

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,440
It's like, I feel like it's more sapphic than most other.

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,440
I don't want to say that.

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,920
I don't know if it's more sapphic than supernatural.

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,160
That felt pretty sapphic.

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,360
I think, yeah, there was plenty of that.

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,520
I also, it's kind of like what I talked about in my steric video where I feel like there

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,520
were a lot of people who joined those fandoms as people who thought they were young girls

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,720
and then turned out to be transmasculine.

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,240
I've heard about a lot of that going around in the supernatural fandom, the Teen Wolf

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,240
fandom.

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Oh, that's not surprising.

28
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,840
I feel like that happens a lot when you deal with situations of cross gender identification

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,840
with characters.

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,840
Yes.

31
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,240
Yeah, I guess the gay shipping thing.

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Yeah.

33
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,320
We've talked about it before, but yes.

34
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,960
And I'm sure we'll talk about it plenty more.

35
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:31,960
Plenty more.

36
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:32,960
Down the road.

37
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,440
But we're not there yet.

38
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,440
Not yet.

39
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Not yet.

40
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,000
But what, oh, but when that day comes.

41
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,280
Welcome back to the First Your Spodcast, everybody.

42
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:53,520
I am your host who is voted early with his absentee ballot, Ryan Kearns.

43
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,600
I am your host who voted like two hours ago because I'm a procrastinator, Jane Mulcahy.

44
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,800
And also, we released these episodes like two weeks after recording them.

45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,200
So this is going to be really dated by the time we post it.

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,600
But for the record, it is election day as we are recording this.

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,080
At the time of recording, we do not know who the president is going to be.

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,800
We do not know who the president-elect is going to be.

49
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:26,920
And so this is our last little hurrah of not knowing and biting our little nails that that

50
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:28,840
man does not get back in office.

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520
It's the election day special.

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,000
And I worry that this entire episode is going to be like drenched in dramatic irony no matter

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
what happens.

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Yeah.

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,560
But, you know, what can you do?

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,240
I saw this tweet that was like trying to have conversations with people today while we're

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,960
not freaking out about the big thing that's happening.

58
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Yeah, there's a lot of that going around.

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,760
My restaurant's been really dead recently because everyone's just been on edge about

60
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,760
the election.

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,800
Like yesterday, I think I had maybe like seven tables total over like a six and a half hour

62
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,800
shift.

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,080
And like the tables that were there, I like went up to them and I asked them, how are

64
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,240
you guys doing today?

65
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,920
And they're like, oh, you know.

66
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:15,920
Coping.

67
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:22,400
Can we get the baked meatballs like drowning your sorrows?

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,400
Yeah.

69
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,400
Meatballs.

70
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,400
Oh my God.

71
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,520
I'm getting drunk tonight, Ryan.

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,520
That's all I know.

73
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,400
I'm getting so drunk tonight.

74
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,400
I don't have work tomorrow.

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,600
I'm going to be so hungover.

76
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Honestly, I've been seeing this guy for a couple of weeks.

77
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,480
And so we're going to hang out tonight after I get off work and just like get smashed and

78
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,240
eat dinner and watch a movie and just like try not to think about anything.

79
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,440
I'm going to like an election night, not party, but kind of a get together.

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Oh, nice.

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,120
So it's going to be like all election night.

82
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,520
But I mean, honestly, like I kind of, I don't enjoy because it's so nerve wracking, but

83
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,000
I do find it kind of exciting to like watch the results come in.

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,400
No, I do too.

85
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,400
I do too.

86
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Yeah, I come from that kind of family, I guess that's very like politics.

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600
My dad was a political editor on the radio, so.

88
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Oh, nice.

89
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,800
It's always a big event for us.

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,000
I just remember like the trauma of like being 16 and like sitting in like my high school

91
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,200
green room, like after rehearsals for the show we were in, which was Chicago.

92
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,560
And like we were sitting there like watching like, like state after state, this 2016 state

93
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,200
after state turned red and red Virginia's red, Pennsylvania's red.

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,200
It's all red.

95
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,200
It's all red.

96
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,200
It's all red.

97
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,120
And we're like, oh no, she's losing all these background states.

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,520
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

99
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,320
Yeah, my mom and I had gone out to dinner that night because like, you know, we all

100
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,960
just thought that Hillary was going to win.

101
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,640
So we were like, yeah, this is chill.

102
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,040
We'll go out to dinner and we came back home and started watching the news and it was like,

103
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,160
oh, this is not going our way.

104
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,760
And then I went to like a hippie Montessori high school where like everybody was woke

105
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,760
and gay.

106
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,360
I've heard of those.

107
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,080
Yeah, you know, it's it happens.

108
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,320
So like the next day going into school, everybody was like including myself, like it was bad.

109
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Everybody was in the dumps.

110
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,000
I grew up in a very blue area, like a very comfy sort of liberal area.

111
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,080
And so like being being like Republican was like super taboo owning guns was super taboo.

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,120
And so like, you could totally snuff out like exactly who was really, really happy about

113
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,640
it.

114
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Just by like walking around and seeing who didn't look completely devastated.

115
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Damn.

116
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,640
And there was this one guy I had in my civics class, civics that year.

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,440
There was only like, like, like two conservative guys in the in the class.

118
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,000
And one of them was like from this like super, super right wing family, his dad told him

119
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,240
to wear a MAGA hat the next day.

120
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,240
Oh my God.

121
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,440
And like he walked in and he had this bright smile on his face.

122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320
And it was like, did you ever see the producers like from the 60s?

123
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Yeah, yeah.

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,720
Well, the end of my God, Ryan, telepathy, because literally as I was casting my ballot, I had

125
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,240
not from the 60s version, but I had I want to be a producer from the musical version

126
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,120
of the producers stuck in my head for some reason.

127
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,160
It's a producer's kind of day.

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,880
It's a producer's kind of day.

129
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,640
And he walked in and I swear to God, it was like at the end of springtime for Hitler

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:33,760
when that that one day pops and everyone starts like beating him up.

131
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,680
Yeah, I feel like if there had been a guy like that at my school, it would have.

132
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,840
Yeah, we were like, because everybody was so woke and gay, it was a very peaceful place.

133
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:48,720
But like that probably could have been like the first physical fight at our school.

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,720
All right.

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:59,000
So do we want to set the state, the America decides aside for the next hour and talk about

136
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
911?

137
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,480
I guess we should, although I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up popping up throughout

138
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,800
this discussion anyway.

139
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,800
Yeah, probably.

140
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,800
But yes, on to season one, episode five, point of origin.

141
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:17,600
So we we open with a very, I think at the time it was topical, because there was a big

142
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,480
viral video and a news that this is like a ripped right from the headlines call.

143
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,280
Oh, I didn't know.

144
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Yeah.

145
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,760
So there's this Indian wedding that's happening in LA, this all these Indian families.

146
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,120
There's an arranged marriage happening between a very handsome young man and a very beautiful

147
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,120
young woman.

148
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,600
Like, and Savita.

149
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,680
Can we just say the most gorgeous people on the planet is this couple?

150
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760
I guess I hadn't really taken note of that, but sure.

151
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,080
It's like it's just a very like TV thing.

152
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,480
Like, oh, we're having this like random marriage with these random characters and they just

153
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,560
happen to be played by like just two like physically perfect people.

154
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Yeah, I just feel like that's basically always how it is on TV.

155
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,560
Yeah.

156
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,400
And she has like nerves about the wedding and he has nerves about the wedding because

157
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,920
obviously they don't know each other that well.

158
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,400
It's you know, it's arranged by their families, but they're going in with open minds.

159
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,440
Their friends are encouraging them and it's a very beautiful ceremony.

160
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,120
She looks gorgeous in her dress.

161
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,520
It's all traditional.

162
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:28,080
And then at the reception, everyone's dancing on the dance floor and then it collapses and

163
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,040
a lot of people die.

164
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,040
Yes.

165
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,160
The entire floor falls through as the 118 get there.

166
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,960
I'm pretty sure Buck says like 16 DOA, which I took note of is just like, wow, that's a

167
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,960
lot.

168
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,240
Like that would be a major disaster.

169
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Yeah.

170
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,240
It's like two stories.

171
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Yeah, two stories.

172
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Yeah.

173
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,240
Yeah.

174
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,240
Down to the ground floor.

175
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,240
It's like a nightmare.

176
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,240
Yeah.

177
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,560
They can't find the bride, which is really distressing, but eventually they find her under some rubble.

178
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:54,560
They get her out.

179
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,120
She seems okay.

180
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Bobby gets very personally angry about all this.

181
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,360
He finds the building owner and like walks up to him, starts shoving him around.

182
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,480
He's like, did you know that this material has been outlawed for years?

183
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,480
This floor used to be the roof, didn't it?

184
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,480
And then you added a story.

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,480
He's like really going in.

186
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Really going in.

187
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,480
Like uncharacteristically like, like, like enraged at this like cheapskate landlord.

188
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,560
And obviously it's laying the seeds or something we find out later, but it's just his like

189
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:28,600
dark Bobby era because he's still obviously like he fell off the wagon last episode and

190
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,800
he's struggling and he's having a difficult time.

191
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:37,920
And Hen and Buck are very sort of taken aback by his behavior here, especially Hen.

192
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,720
Yeah, Hen's trying to like talk him out of it.

193
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,360
And she's like, just last night or whatever yesterday you were saying, help, which of

194
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,080
course brought me back to Bobby's delivery of the line.

195
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,080
Help.

196
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,080
Help.

197
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,800
But yeah, so he's clearly, it hasn't been long since the events of the last episode.

198
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,840
So he's kind of still going through it, it seems.

199
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,840
Right.

200
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,320
I just want to say for our listeners, they are doing construction in my building.

201
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,840
So if you get any drilling noises in your headphones, just know it's not you, it's me.

202
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,840
Ryan lives in a very noisy place.

203
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,840
Yeah.

204
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,200
There's always something going on in the background of your audio.

205
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,880
No, seriously, there is.

206
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,880
It's a nightmare.

207
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Part of the reason I don't make videos more often is because recording is just such an

208
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,360
absolute nightmare.

209
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,840
Oh, and there's police sirens.

210
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,840
That's okay.

211
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,960
It like puts us into the setting.

212
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,960
It's immersive.

213
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,840
That's thematically appropriate, you know.

214
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,120
Yeah, just pretend that's the 118.

215
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,640
What do we think about this opening call?

216
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,480
I think it's a pretty effective way to start off, especially because it's a very sensational

217
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,480
story.

218
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,320
And I remember this because I was still on Facebook when the news broke about a similar

219
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,480
story happening that I think inspired this episode.

220
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:57,000
So I saw all this like outpouring of like concern on Facebook over this and like rage

221
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,240
at like the building not being up to code.

222
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,440
And it was like a big thing on like CNN or whatever.

223
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,360
I think when I watched this for the first time, when I was watching it through for the

224
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,720
first time back in the day, I think I clocked this too.

225
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,120
And I was like, oh, I guess we are doing the sort of ripped from the headlines thing.

226
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,200
Because I think this is like the first one where they really sort of based it off of

227
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,280
like a specific event.

228
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that is probably some others like probably you

229
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,080
could argue like the bouncy house thing.

230
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Yeah, probably directly inspired by at least a couple specific events.

231
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,680
But yeah, I just remember I just remember how viral the video was of that happening.

232
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:40,680
Like actually, I think I saw it in like a vine compilation at one point like that.

233
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:45,200
Like it bled over into like entertainment YouTube, which is horrible.

234
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,920
But it's like it's also kind of like just telling it.

235
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,560
Yeah, I kind of wish that someone would like take note.

236
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:57,920
I wish like in the IMDB trivia or whatever you could find like exactly which events inspired

237
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,400
each call in an episode.

238
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,760
Like somebody should make a database for that because I think it's really interesting, but

239
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:08,160
it's kind of hard to know exactly unless like you you were like already aware of the thing

240
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,160
that happened.

241
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,160
Yeah.

242
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,480
I think my only other thought about this call before we move on because this is a very

243
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,600
character focused episode.

244
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,320
So there's not a whole lot of time spent on the calls.

245
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,480
The rubble that they use the way that they set up the rubble was in to me was very reminiscent.

246
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,560
And obviously it's not like reminiscent because like this happened after but it was it was

247
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:36,640
reminiscent of the rubble effect they used in the opening like the cold open of Teen

248
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Wolf the movie.

249
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,680
Everyone's got like saving the little girl from like that building collapsing.

250
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:44,680
Yeah, the dog.

251
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:45,680
Yeah.

252
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:49,000
And I was like, oh wow.

253
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Okay.

254
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,520
Similar production values.

255
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,280
But we cut from that to Athena and Hen having a little hangout.

256
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,520
We're having drinks together at a bar.

257
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,840
And they're basically sort of debriefing each other on everything that's been going

258
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,880
on, you know, maze back at home.

259
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040
We didn't really see a resolution to the sort of the CPS thing.

260
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Right.

261
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,760
But I guess it's over.

262
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:19,120
They talk a little bit about the whole thing with is her name Leila the child that Athena's

263
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,120
been harassing.

264
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Yeah, Leila.

265
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,280
Actually, I think I might have missed it because I had to put on subtitles halfway

266
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,280
through this scene.

267
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:32,120
Well, basically, she says that the parents are willing to kind of drop their complaint

268
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,640
as long as Athena drops the charges against their daughter, which Athena's not happy about.

269
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,680
But if it can get her off of desk duty, fair enough.

270
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:44,400
And hence telling her about Bobby, which I found this interesting just like knowing

271
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,440
what's going to happen between Athena and Bobby.

272
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,840
It's kind of interesting to see her talking about him before that before she really knows

273
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,840
him that well.

274
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,840
Yeah.

275
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,320
And she refers to Bobby as both Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne at various points throughout

276
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,880
this conversation.

277
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,320
So I guess, which I thought was interesting because like the Clark Kent thing I can kind

278
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,280
of understand they're trying to set Bobby up as like he's a good old fashioned, big

279
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,560
tall, strong guy.

280
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,640
There was a line in the previous episode where I think it was Tatiana refers to Bobby as

281
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Gary Cooper.

282
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,800
She's like, oh, now I see why they call you Gary Cooper, which is an interesting reference.

283
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,800
Right.

284
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,480
I love because I love Gary Cooper.

285
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,080
I think maybe the Bruce Wayne thing came out about like maybe he's like his mood shift

286
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,720
into like the sort of.

287
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,720
You're right.

288
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,240
Because I was going to say like, I feel like it doesn't make that much sense to compare

289
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,280
him to both Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne.

290
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520
But I guess, yeah, it's like the duality of Bobby.

291
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,520
Yeah.

292
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,640
His little Jekyll and Hyde moment.

293
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:46,800
And then of course we also get the the the the lesbian confirmation with Hen.

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,240
And this is the first time on the show for the first time.

295
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,360
This is the first time on the show that they've ever actually spoken about not just Hen's

296
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,640
home life, but also the fact that, you know, she's married to a woman and she has a son.

297
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:05,200
And like, I remember watching this the first time through and like I was like craving some

298
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000
gays, right?

299
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,360
Other than Michael, of course.

300
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,000
And when that happened, it was like that fucking scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where

301
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Leo sits up and she.

302
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,240
You're pointing at the TV.

303
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,760
Yeah, seriously, I was.

304
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,360
And so it was interesting that it took them until episode five to to confirm Hen's sexuality.

305
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,400
But yeah, I guess they just didn't have an opportunity to drop that into conversation

306
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,400
before.

307
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,080
This is such a weird question.

308
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:42,280
But like obviously like like this show, like it doesn't really need this conversation because

309
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,640
it's good about this in a lot of ways.

310
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,720
But does this scene specifically pass the Bechtel test?

311
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,600
Ooh, no.

312
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,040
I think no because they're talking about Bobby for much of it.

313
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,120
But also like what a lot of people don't understand about the Bechtel test is it's not like an

314
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,560
actual litmus test for everything you watch.

315
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,320
It's just like a fun thought experiment created by Alison Bechtel in a Dykes to Watch Out

316
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,260
for a comic in the 90s.

317
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:10,260
It's not that serious.

318
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:14,600
And you get people online like male critics often, not even critics like YouTubers is what

319
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,480
I really mean, who will be like, you like why does things have to pass the Bechtel test?

320
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,480
It's like it doesn't.

321
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Nobody said that.

322
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Only you said that.

323
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,280
Nobody thinks about it that way.

324
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,880
It's literally just a thing from a comic strip.

325
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,360
And if anything, it was more about lesbians than it was about like general feminism in

326
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,000
movies originally.

327
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,520
So it's often taken out of context.

328
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,200
Not that that's what you were implying, but just to clear it up for our listeners.

329
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,200
No, thank you.

330
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,440
I feel like the average like smart movie watcher.

331
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,160
The TV watcher these days probably already knows that lore.

332
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,160
Oh, yeah.

333
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:55,560
But it's basically a scene can still be good to women and good at feminism without technically

334
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:56,960
passing the Bechtel test.

335
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Yeah, I think this is a good example of that.

336
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,520
You know, it's it's all about sort of like this, um, a hen and Athena's friendship.

337
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,520
Obviously, you know, Aisha and Angela have great chemistry and it's just, I guess it's

338
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,020
just giving life.

339
00:17:10,020 --> 00:17:12,120
It's just giving voice to both of their lives.

340
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:17,520
And I don't I mean, like it's just two women having an inner world and sharing that with

341
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,120
each other over some drinks.

342
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:21,240
Like I don't see anything about that.

343
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,240
That wouldn't be feminist.

344
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,800
You know what I mean?

345
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,800
Definitely.

346
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,440
And well, another piece of information we get here is that hen hen's ex has reached

347
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,640
out to her ex Eva, who I was kind of impressed by how well they exposited everything in this

348
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,800
scene because it doesn't feel like they're just like dumping information on you or like

349
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,440
saying it in a clunky way, but they actually give you like a lot of exposition here.

350
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,680
Yeah, they established that hen is married and has a child specifically who is adopted

351
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,840
from her ex Eva, who she has a strained relationship with and who is now in prison.

352
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,120
So like you get all of that just from like a pretty natural conversation.

353
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,960
Yeah, because you're hearing it over drinks, you know, it feels like you're having a drink

354
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,720
with them basically when you're hearing about their lives like this.

355
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,320
It's like they're bringing you into their world.

356
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Yeah, I just remember thinking there was like a very deft line.

357
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,520
I thought we're like Athena, she manages to like communicate all that information in like

358
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,280
one or two lines where she's like, and how does Karen feel about that?

359
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,720
Like your wife, I don't know, something about like, how does she feel about your ex wanting

360
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,760
to talk to you from the pokey or something like she just gets it all out in one line,

361
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,280
but it doesn't feel like super info dumpy.

362
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,280
So maybe that's good.

363
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,440
Maybe that's to Angela's strength as well.

364
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,840
Maybe that just that's to her strength as an actor that she's able to deliver exposition

365
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,760
in a way that feels very naturalistic.

366
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,360
True, yeah.

367
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,240
But it is like serious like bombshell information.

368
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:52,320
It's like, hen has a kid, has a wife, ex is coming back into the picture from prison.

369
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,240
Has a crazy ex who's in prison.

370
00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:00,080
And is also, and I think, I don't think we learn this right away, but Eva is also Denny's

371
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,080
biological mother.

372
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,080
Yes.

373
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,200
Well, I feel like it's kind of, they even kind of communicate that in this scene.

374
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:11,600
It's maybe not entirely clear, but there's a line where hen says, I think, like she was

375
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,040
okay with us adopting Denny or something.

376
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,040
Yeah.

377
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,680
So they do at least get at that in this scene already.

378
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,240
I think that's, it's kind of like almost like a textbook example of like a good way

379
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:29,040
to deliver a lot of exposition about a character without making it feel heavy handed without,

380
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,240
while making it feel naturalistic and making it feel like you're being drawn into the world

381
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,920
rather than having the world thrown at you almost.

382
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:36,920
Yeah, exactly.

383
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:37,920
Yeah.

384
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,920
It's well done.

385
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:45,240
And then we go from that to Buck, we get some of his inner world for the first time where

386
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,240
we...

387
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,240
Buck's frat house.

388
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,240
Buck lives in a fucking frat house.

389
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,240
Jesus Christ.

390
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,240
It is wild.

391
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,920
Like he is not in college.

392
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,120
None of his friends, I don't think, are in college.

393
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,440
His roommates, I mean.

394
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,680
And yet they live in what is like clearly, textually a frat house.

395
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,680
Yeah.

396
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,680
They have red solo cups everywhere.

397
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,200
He walks in and his roommates like, what is he like, playing video games with some girl?

398
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,840
Yeah, the girl's over and they're like, oh, this is our friend Buck.

399
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:14,840
That's a disaster.

400
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,920
Shout out, shout out to the set deck of this scene specifically because they paint a very

401
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,600
vivid picture of, it's just like covered in like dirty dishes and yeah, the red solo

402
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,040
cups and like pizza boxes.

403
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:34,160
But I have to say, Buck as a 26 year old living in a frat house, very embarrassing.

404
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,280
Very embarrassing.

405
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520
And honestly, it makes a lot of sense.

406
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,480
Like when you see everything he does on the show up to this point and then you see this,

407
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,480
it's like, oh.

408
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,920
He's that kind of person.

409
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,000
It's like, I'm not saying like at 26, you may very well still be living with lots of

410
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,000
roommates.

411
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,360
You might not have like a super amazing living situation.

412
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:56,760
Frat house is rough.

413
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Yeah.

414
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Don't get me wrong.

415
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,440
I live in an apartment of four other guys.

416
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,440
There have definitely been nights when we have had kind of like what you might consider

417
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,520
a fratty vibe, but we all do our chores.

418
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,520
Right?

419
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,520
We all clean.

420
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,520
Or other guys.

421
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,520
I didn't know this about you.

422
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,520
Oh yeah, Lore Drop.

423
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,520
I live in an apartment of four other guys in East Harlem.

424
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,000
We have two bathrooms.

425
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000
We all have our own room.

426
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
It's great.

427
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
We have a big living room.

428
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,360
Do you all sleep in one bed like the grandparents and Charlie and the chocolate factory?

429
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:28,360
We do.

430
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:29,360
Yeah.

431
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:34,640
We cuddle up and we take shifts like who gets to be whose boyfriend for the week.

432
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,080
It's like very much like a Polly situation.

433
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,080
Of course.

434
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,000
And this is the only way you can afford rent in New York.

435
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Yes, of course.

436
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:47,440
But it's actually been bad because Rainbow has been a gaslighting sock about doing the

437
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,040
dishes for months.

438
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,040
Yeah, no.

439
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:55,040
But like I like I on like on the one hand, like I can like somewhat relate to Buck that

440
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,200
this is a very like 20 situation, but like there's a line, right?

441
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,200
There's a line.

442
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,320
At 26, you've got to start doing your dishes though, I think is the line.

443
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Yeah, 100%.

444
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,960
You got a sweep, you got a vacuum, you got a mop, you got to clean the bathroom.

445
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,960
You got to buy real glassware instead of using those red solo cups.

446
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,320
And then you have to wash them.

447
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,880
And then you have to wash them.

448
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,120
That's probably why they use the red solo cups so they don't have to wash them.

449
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,120
You live in LA.

450
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,320
You have a dishwasher presumably, especially in a house like this.

451
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,680
You probably have a garbage disposal like you have so many tools that you

452
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,880
He doesn't know how to use either one of those.

453
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,680
He doesn't know how to use either one of those.

454
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,880
Buck is one of those people.

455
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,480
He's like googling how to turn dishwasher on.

456
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,560
He can do anything.

457
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,240
He just has to be showed how to do it once.

458
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,520
Garbage disposal.

459
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,520
Where is it?

460
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,840
I just want to mom this guy.

461
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,280
I want to mom him so hard.

462
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,960
I want to like get his life in order.

463
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,000
Do you think he knows how to do his own laundry?

464
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
That's the question.

465
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,920
Season one, buck 1.0, I'm not 100% sure he does.

466
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,920
Laundry.

467
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,120
And I feel like he would give him an iron to iron his uniform.

468
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:02,120
He'd be like...

469
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:03,440
Why do I need this?

470
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,960
He would just press it to his skin.

471
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Burn himself immediately.

472
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,160
But then he gets home.

473
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Obviously, it's a very noisy place.

474
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,440
It's a very chaotic spot.

475
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,360
I presume it would be hard to unwind and focus and everything.

476
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:23,600
Wait, wait, wait.

477
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,320
One more thing, roasting buck about his frat house.

478
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:32,200
Isn't it kind of a surprise that he doesn't just sweep on a mattress on the floor that

479
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,200
he has a real bed frame?

480
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

481
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:40,360
That would have been one more detail to really sell it.

482
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:41,360
Yeah.

483
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,360
I'm surprised his floor is in dirtier.

484
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:46,680
I feel like he'd be the kind of person to walk around barefoot and then he gets that

485
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,880
like foot seasoning from when you don't sweep.

486
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,880
Oh, God.

487
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:50,880
You know what I mean?

488
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,880
Not seasoning.

489
00:23:51,880 --> 00:24:00,440
But then, you know, he goes up to his room and he gets a text from Abby and it's like

490
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,400
a spam text because we found out later she sends it to all of her contacts.

491
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,600
But it's a flyer.

492
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:13,840
It's a missing person's flyer for her mom who, as we know, walked out the house and

493
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,240
didn't walk back in.

494
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,240
Yes.

495
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,960
So he immediately calls Abby.

496
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:23,440
Abby and Carla are kind of frantically bustling around the house trying to figure out how

497
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,880
to track down Patricia, which is her mom's name, which we couldn't remember in one of

498
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,160
our last episodes.

499
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,320
So Buck's like, you know, are you okay?

500
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,680
What's going on?

501
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,720
And he kind of, once he hears what's going on, he immediately is like, I'm coming over

502
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,280
and I'm going to help look for your mom.

503
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,880
And this is the first time Buck is going to have seen Abby.

504
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,280
And obviously this is the first time they'll have seen each other in person.

505
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,280
She knows what he looks like.

506
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,440
He doesn't know what she looks like.

507
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,720
So this is going to be interesting.

508
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,280
And we'll find out what happens with that in a moment.

509
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:01,600
But right after that, it switches to Hen going to visit Eva at the prison.

510
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,600
Yes.

511
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,600
And it's Eva with the cornrows.

512
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:11,760
Eva with the cornrows and the prison jumpsuit giving a little oranges, the new black.

513
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,760
Okay.

514
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,720
So do you consider any story about prison giving oranges for new black?

515
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,680
Women in prison, white women with cornrows in prison.

516
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,680
Their reunion is very tense, right?

517
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:31,840
There is a very palpable tension between the two of them, but not like a hatred or a despise.

518
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,640
It's like a jilted lover's tension.

519
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,480
Obviously, Eva greets Hen by calling her baby.

520
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,160
Yeah, you can just tell that however they left things was not very good.

521
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,680
Obviously, Eva's in prison.

522
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:53,040
They, well, I'm not trying to imply that Hen put her in prison.

523
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,680
She, yeah, Eva's kind of seemingly trying to pick up where they left off a little bit.

524
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,680
Hen's not having that.

525
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,680
She's like, I'm married.

526
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,120
At one point Eva says, you don't want to catch up with your girl.

527
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:06,120
Hen's like, you're not my girl.

528
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:12,240
Eva tries to ask about Denny, who is Hen and her wife's son, but you know, Hen doesn't

529
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,240
really want to tell her much about him.

530
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,440
It's like not really her business now that he's been adopted.

531
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,440
We find out.

532
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,560
And basically the purpose, yeah.

533
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,600
We find out that Denny's full first name is actually Diesel.

534
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,960
Well, do you think that's like his full name or just like what Eva has called him?

535
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Yeah, it might be what she called it.

536
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,920
Like, I think it would be like just based on the slice of her life that we get from

537
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,240
this, like, I think it would be in character for her to be like, let me name my son Diesel

538
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,040
and then Hen to be like, we're going to call him Denny.

539
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,880
Yeah, I guess she does have the line where she says we call him Denny now.

540
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,360
I don't think she says his name is Denny.

541
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,760
That's wild if Denny's legal name is Diesel.

542
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,920
Yeah, his government name.

543
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,720
Well, anyway, it turns out the purpose of Eva's doing this, asking Hen here is that

544
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,840
she's up for release soon because like good behavior, it sounds like.

545
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,520
And she's been trying hard.

546
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,400
She's been like taking some accounting courses.

547
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,800
She's like ready to get back in the workforce and she needs somebody to vouch for her at

548
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,480
her hearing, I think.

549
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:20,160
So she's asking Hen if she could kind of play the upstanding firefighter and vouch for her.

550
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,280
But Hen is a little hesitant about this.

551
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,400
And that's kind of where we leave things.

552
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Eva wants her to like come in her uniform and everything and sort of like basically perform

553
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,040
a sort of like testimony on behalf of like a city official, right?

554
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,800
That like this is an upstanding member of the community.

555
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,520
She is fit for release.

556
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,600
Get her out of that cell.

557
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,600
Yeah.

558
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,480
You know, and they haven't seen each other in over a year.

559
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,800
And so like, you know, you can only imagine like the things running through Hen's mind

560
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:48,800
seeing her again.

561
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,120
She still obviously has an obvious sort of like affection for Eva and sort of a patience

562
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:54,120
for her.

563
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:57,800
Otherwise she wouldn't be here and she wouldn't be like having this conversation with her.

564
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,240
But like she walks away from this seemingly considering it.

565
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,240
Yeah.

566
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,240
Yeah.

567
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,680
And like you said, that's sort of where we leave it on that sort of ambiguous note.

568
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,160
Then we go from that right back to Carla is at Abby's.

569
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,800
There's a knock at the door.

570
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,600
She answers it.

571
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,960
Buck appears and Carla melts.

572
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,840
Well there's a great moment here where Abby where Buck sees Carla and goes Abby.

573
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:31,720
You know, there is totally like a thought running through Carla's mind like, yes, that's

574
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,720
me.

575
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,720
Hello.

576
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,040
What if I just ran to this?

577
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,960
But then of course the camera pans over.

578
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:38,960
Abby appears.

579
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,920
Abby in her cute little overalls.

580
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,920
Her cute little overalls.

581
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,920
Yes.

582
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,160
And like the glasses with them too.

583
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,160
Very farm rapport.

584
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,400
And like the messy hair like very giving sort of like Watt pad protagonist.

585
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,400
Very like sort of like.

586
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,400
It's like, oh, I'm just thrown together today.

587
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,840
A little Sardu Valley core even.

588
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,040
Sure.

589
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,240
And you know, this is Buck's first time seeing Abby and he gets this little look on his face,

590
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,560
but they have business to do.

591
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,960
So they can't focus on that right now.

592
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,960
Right.

593
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,480
They get right into tracking down Abby's mom.

594
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,800
Abby has kind of with her 911 dispatcher powers.

595
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,360
She's kind of figured out all these things like this is the mile radius we need to look

596
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:17,360
in.

597
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:23,480
And it's incredible that she's made like just like a map of like all the possible routes

598
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,760
based on like the time elapsed, which is like nine hours.

599
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,080
And her mom's calculated three mile per hour walking speed.

600
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,080
Yeah.

601
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:41,240
They have a funny line where, you know, Carla's like Patricia is an annoyingly fast walker.

602
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,120
And they have this like this like just like this great just sort of like this like radius

603
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,880
of like possible places to where she could be.

604
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,640
And they just commit to spending the day checking everywhere.

605
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,880
They're like, yeah, like one mile at a time.

606
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,400
And she see in Abby's eyes like, oh, he's alive.

607
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,440
I do like, like I was thinking when they were on the phone earlier and Buck was just like

608
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,000
immediately like, okay, I'm coming over to help you.

609
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Like even back then with Buck 1.0, I feel like it's he was always just like ready to

610
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,360
help someone at the drop of the hat, you know, even if it's kind of inconvenient for him

611
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,240
or even if it's someone he doesn't know that well.

612
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,360
And I feel like that's one of the reasons we love Buck, you know, it's just in his nature.

613
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,480
He's a really good person, you know, and he's just just kind and giving and generous and

614
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:37,080
so handsome and, you know, he's got those giant arms, those big arms and that's that

615
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,080
cute birthmark.

616
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:43,880
Oh, despite living in a fat house, you know, remember the fact that he lives in a frat house

617
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,120
remember the fat house, remember the probably can't do laundry.

618
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,120
It's okay.

619
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,120
It's okay.

620
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,520
From there, we can write Bobby in church.

621
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,760
Right from the all could use the visit to church right now.

622
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,760
Yes, we could.

623
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,760
Yes, we could.

624
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,920
Let's let's let's feel the healing warm presence of the Lord.

625
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,200
I'm writing it in.

626
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Right.

627
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,920
And speaking of gay people, the gay priest is back and we're in the pews with with Bobby

628
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,920
and homotron.

629
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,800
Hot gay priest.

630
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,560
And he's struggling with whether to, I guess, trust his team with sort of like the truth

631
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:25,840
of his past, you know, he's saying like, you know, they've given me so much of themselves

632
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,480
and I've given them nothing in return.

633
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,480
Right.

634
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:35,560
And then the priest asks, like, what are what are you hiding from them?

635
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,560
What are you holding back?

636
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:43,520
And he goes, says this in the craziest possible way that he could.

637
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:49,360
He goes that I murdered my own family, which once again, I just have to call us back to

638
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:54,080
the Degrassi episode where Eli Golds where he says to Claire, this is where I killed

639
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,760
my girlfriend because exactly the same energy.

640
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:00,760
Yeah.

641
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,120
It's like cut to the reaction shots of Claire and hot priest respectively.

642
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,120
See, you don't got to say it like that, man.

643
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,600
You're making it worse for yourself.

644
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,600
You don't got to say it like that.

645
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,800
So now I have.

646
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,040
Okay, from there, we cut to huge Bobby flashback.

647
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,760
This is much of the episode.

648
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,680
Cut to Bobby in his car title card, St. Paul, Minnesota.

649
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,680
Five years ago.

650
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,480
How do you feel about the rep, but the rep.

651
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,480
Oh, I love it.

652
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,480
You know, I love it.

653
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:35,880
I just love to see St. Paul in the movies, in the television, anytime.

654
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,880
I guess this isn't like the best.

655
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:43,720
Well, all we see of St. Paul is them having a terrible building that isn't up to code

656
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,200
that catches on fire and kills a ton of people.

657
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,720
Blowing endorsement for 11 city.

658
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,160
Not every building in St. Paul is like that.

659
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,160
Right.

660
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,160
Right.

661
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Yeah.

662
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,160
Yeah.

663
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,160
No, it seems like a great place.

664
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,160
I can't wait to visit at some point.

665
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,080
I just voted on two city questions for St. Paul.

666
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,320
So we flashback to St. Paul, Minnesota.

667
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,040
My hometown in which I still live.

668
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,040
Five years prior.

669
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,040
Five years ago.

670
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,120
I don't know why, but I thought the fire was more recent.

671
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,400
I guess because Bobby had moved to LA more recently or something like that, I think he

672
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,400
moved to LA.

673
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,400
Yeah.

674
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,560
He mentions at one point that he spent like one or two years after the fire, like living

675
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,160
on pills and vodka.

676
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,840
So I guess it was like kind of just stayed in St. Paul like on a bender for a while.

677
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,960
I think, I mean, we'll get more context in like his Bobby Begins Again episode in season

678
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:34,960
two.

679
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,240
But yeah, I also kind of misremembered that.

680
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,920
I wasn't sure it was that long ago.

681
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:40,920
Yeah.

682
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:41,920
But it was fully five years ago.

683
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,040
This is kind of like, I guess the predecessor to all of the Begins episodes because this

684
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,080
is the first time we're actually taking like a significant chunk out of an episode to spend

685
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,880
some time with the characters past.

686
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,880
Yeah.

687
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,880
Definitely.

688
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,840
So approaching it from that, I guess, angle, I have more of a patience for it.

689
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,400
I already told you that I normally kind of hate flashbacks as a narrative device just

690
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:06,320
because I feel like they always slow the momentum of an episode or a film or whatever to like

691
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,360
a complete dead stop.

692
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,880
But I think here, because it's such a character focused episode already, I think it works

693
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,880
better.

694
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,840
And I think this show generally handles it better than most.

695
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,800
I mean, it's such a like fast paced, sensational show in general and like the flashbacks are

696
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,640
no different, I feel that.

697
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Yeah.

698
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,640
I don't mind a flashback.

699
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,040
It's all about execution for me.

700
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,040
Yeah.

701
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,520
So in this one, we have Bobby is sitting in his truck alone drinking.

702
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:35,520
He said truck.

703
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,160
So that doesn't go well.

704
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,160
He said truck and I thought of Darren Hansen.

705
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,160
A real life truck.

706
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,160
Truck.

707
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,160
Truck.

708
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,520
Is there another truck coming to our driveway?

709
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,520
Driveway.

710
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,840
There's not another truck coming to our driveway.

711
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,400
A real life truck.

712
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,400
Okay, we can't get too side trucked.

713
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,400
Can't get too side trucked.

714
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,400
Am I right?

715
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,400
I'm not saying truck.

716
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,400
No, I can't.

717
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,400
Miss Julian.

718
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,960
I just love the way that she hits the T and the K too.

719
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,080
It's just the perfect way of saying truck.

720
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,280
Anyway, Bobby, I don't even really know that it was a truck.

721
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,000
I think he was sitting in a truck, whatever.

722
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,960
It was the same Paul I called a truck, you know, but he goes inside.

723
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:18,960
We see he had a wife.

724
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,640
He had a wife and two young children.

725
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,800
He is kind of getting his kids ready for bed.

726
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,080
He kisses his wife when he walks in and you can tell that she immediately like smells

727
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,200
something on him or can tell that he's off in some way.

728
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,440
He's getting ready for bed with the kids and he like falls asleep while like sitting on

729
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,960
the toilet next to them.

730
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,720
So we're getting some kind of red flags already.

731
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:42,800
He puts the kids to bed.

732
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,800
They're like adorable kids.

733
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:44,800
Oh my God.

734
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,360
The most adorable kids in the entire world.

735
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,360
She's like, she's talking about, did you know that the best car to get hit by is an ambulance?

736
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,360
Yeah.

737
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,400
You know, the best place to get robbed is inside a police station.

738
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,400
Right.

739
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,760
And it's like, yeah, like the best place to get shot is in a hospital.

740
00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:59,760
Yeah, yeah, totally.

741
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Well, she has a line where Bobby says something like, where'd you get that big beautiful brain?

742
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,920
And she says, probably Target.

743
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:08,920
Probably Target.

744
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,960
I think, must have been, I don't know if they were trying to like set the scene in Minnesota

745
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,800
since like Target is a Minnesota company.

746
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,040
But they must have had targets in LA by 2018.

747
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,040
Oh, 100%.

748
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,480
We had targets everywhere growing up in Washington.

749
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,440
So they're big on the West Coast.

750
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,600
But like, I want to believe that that was supposed to be a Minnesota thing.

751
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,240
I also got my brain at Target.

752
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:30,240
I love it there.

753
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:34,000
After he puts his kids to bed, you know, we, he has a little, obviously he has a little

754
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
moment with his son.

755
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,560
His son's kind of concerned for him, but he goes lights out.

756
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:45,720
And he has a talk with his wife and we sort of learn, and this is, I think this exposition

757
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:49,920
was handled a bit more clumsily than the Hen and Athena scene.

758
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,920
Sure.

759
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,560
Which exposition do you mean the back thing?

760
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,360
I mean the back thing primarily.

761
00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:01,880
We learn that Bobby has chronic pain because he broke his back about five years ago, which

762
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,480
explains why he sort of self-medicates with booze and uses this like excuse of like going

763
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,800
on walks at night to drink and to take pills and all this stuff, right?

764
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,800
Yeah.

765
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,040
He mentions that, you know, his wife kind of approaches him like, I'm thinking maybe

766
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,560
we should go to another doctor about your back.

767
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,640
He says, you know, they say a broken back never really heals, which I think this is

768
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,460
interesting because I feel like they kind of forget at some point in the show that he

769
00:37:27,460 --> 00:37:33,360
initially started using because of chronic pain because I feel like that never comes

770
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,360
back again.

771
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,360
Ever.

772
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,360
Ever.

773
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,360
Or the fact that he broke his back.

774
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,360
Yeah.

775
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,360
So that's interesting.

776
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,800
Like I wonder, like does he still have struggle with pain management or is that just like,

777
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,640
that was just an excuse and it actually got better and he was just using anyway because

778
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,160
he was addicted, I don't know.

779
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,620
I guess by this point in the timeline, like in the modern day, it has been a decade since

780
00:37:53,620 --> 00:37:54,620
he broke his back.

781
00:37:54,620 --> 00:37:55,620
Right.

782
00:37:55,620 --> 00:37:58,440
So it's probably said a broken back never really fully heals.

783
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,440
That's true.

784
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,960
I mean, my back is kind of fucked up right now.

785
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,320
So that's probably true, which is, I hope you didn't break it.

786
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,480
No, definitely not.

787
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,480
Just like a little bit of a strain because I was, I had some bad form on some hack squats

788
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,000
and I was kind of overloading.

789
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:18,000
So don't don't do 300 pounds on hack squats unless you are very, very, very convinced

790
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,880
that you have the form down to a T.

791
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,840
Oh, I do not intend to.

792
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,560
But yeah, so Bobby says, I'm going out for my walk and the wife seems to kind of know

793
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,680
what that means, but you know, she can't stop them.

794
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:36,200
So he goes to his little secret drug den, which is like another room in the apartment

795
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,200
building.

796
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,640
It's like three floors down, like three floors down.

797
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,320
I think it's room like 306 or 308 or no, like 608.

798
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,320
I forget whatever.

799
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,320
I think it was 608.

800
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,960
Yeah, I think it was.

801
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:48,960
Yeah.

802
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,960
Yes.

803
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,520
So he goes into his little drug den, he's like got a space heater in there.

804
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,640
Because he doesn't pay the utilities in that apartment, obviously it's too expensive to

805
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:58,640
have two apartments.

806
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,640
He just pays the rent on it.

807
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,860
Yeah, they also mentioned it's like in the deep midwinter, you know, it's like super

808
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:06,240
cold out, his wife mentioned.

809
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,200
Classic St. Paul, Minnesota.

810
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:15,040
Hey, actually, if this took place five years before 2018, so 2013, this could have been

811
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:20,680
around the time of what they called the polar vortex in Minnesota, this was a whole thing

812
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:26,440
where like it got unbelievably cold for several days during the winter of, I think, it might

813
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,520
have been 2014.

814
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,520
How cold are we talking?

815
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,280
I remember they canceled, like they canceled school, not because of snow, but because

816
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,840
it was so cold.

817
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,120
Like because they were like concerned people would like freeze.

818
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,080
Yeah, like because it wasn't safe to travel basically because of how cold it was.

819
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,080
Yeah, no, the polar vortex, our first one, I'm pretty sure was in 2014, but then we

820
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,720
had like several more polar vortexes.

821
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:47,720
Negative 55?

822
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:49,960
Yeah, dude, it was bad.

823
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,160
What the fuck happens in your state?

824
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,680
I'm telling you, I was in like seventh grade and they canceled a ton of school for like

825
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,680
a week or two.

826
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:58,680
Wow.

827
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:59,680
Because you just couldn't go outside.

828
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,520
I had a dog at the time and I would like take him, like not even around the block just

829
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,000
to like the end of the block and back for his walk because like we couldn't be outside

830
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,200
for any longer than that.

831
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,200
No kidding.

832
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,200
Jesus Christ.

833
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:16,000
I mean, he's looping it back to St. Paul of the show's universe in order to beat the

834
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
cold.

835
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,040
Feel free to cut as much or as little of that polar vortex sidebar as you want.

836
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:28,920
It's important context because in order to beat the cold, Bobby uses both a gas lamp

837
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,920
and a space heater.

838
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:37,840
Yeah, and he's also like sloppily pouring liquor into a flask, you know, so kind of

839
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,720
getting that everywhere.

840
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:43,680
He accidentally falls asleep while he's doing this.

841
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:48,080
He has the heater next to these like seemingly like very flammable drapes.

842
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,080
Yes.

843
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,880
Which is which is crazy.

844
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,960
I wrote in my notes, it's kind of giving final destination again where you're just getting

845
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,640
all these little hints of like little dangerous things or things that could go wrong.

846
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,520
If I could like link it to anything specifically, it would be the girls in the tanning beds

847
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,000
in Final Destination 3.

848
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,360
By the way, it's fucking setting this up.

849
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:16,560
Well, I was thinking more of the teacher in FD1 who, you know, she has like the most

850
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,240
like Rube Goldberg kind of death in the movie where like a ton of they're showing you a

851
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:23,280
ton of little hints of all these different things that could happen.

852
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,840
And one of them is she's like really nervous because she is scared that death is coming

853
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,000
to get her.

854
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,760
And she's like pouring vodka into a mug and it's a mug with a crack in it.

855
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:37,600
So she's walking along in her house and it's like dripping, leaving this trail of drips

856
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:38,600
of vodka.

857
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,480
And then she spills a little bit in like her computer or printer or something and you see

858
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:47,840
the sparks and then eventually a fire starts and you see it like light the trail of vodka

859
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,600
drips along her floor.

860
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,000
So that's what this was reminding me of.

861
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,400
And obviously it ends in like the big knife moment.

862
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:54,400
Yes.

863
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,960
Once again, similarly to the glee thing, if we don't talk about Final Destination at

864
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,280
least once per episode, we'll also die.

865
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,640
We'll wither and die, yes.

866
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,160
But Bobby accidentally falls asleep during this little ritual and when he wakes up it's

867
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,560
like been a couple of hours and so he comes back to his apartment, his wife's asleep on

868
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:13,560
the couch.

869
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,920
She clearly was waiting up for him.

870
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,520
So this looks bad.

871
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:21,000
He wakes her up, kind of tries to explain himself, but she already knows.

872
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,200
She's figured it all out.

873
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,760
She is really upset.

874
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,720
They have this little talk about it.

875
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:28,520
He's doing, I think, an interesting thing.

876
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,680
Like I liked the way they depicted kind of where his mind is at, like in the throes of

877
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,800
this addiction, where you can tell he's really still trying to like rationalize it all to

878
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,920
himself and to his wife.

879
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,040
He says some interesting things.

880
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,000
He seems to still believe that he has it under control.

881
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,440
He says at one point he's like, I'm Superman.

882
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,400
I go into burning buildings and come out without a scratch.

883
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:56,800
You know, it's like he's doing this sort of self aggrandizing thing, like addiction wise

884
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:02,080
to like convince himself that he doesn't really have a problem, which I thought was interesting.

885
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,080
It was.

886
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,320
And it was very, it was honestly, it was really realistic.

887
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:12,480
I've known many an addict in my day and sort of the self rationalization and sort of the

888
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:18,120
defensiveness is obviously, you know, sort of a very real space to be.

889
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,720
And especially when you know that you have a problem, but you're not ready to admit it

890
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:26,720
or you're not willing to admit that, especially you've fallen off the wagon after working

891
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:27,880
so hard to get back on it.

892
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,120
You know, he mentioned that he'd been to rehab a year prior.

893
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,160
There's so much like sleight of hand to like try and keep it from loved ones.

894
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,720
So I feel like, you know, he's been doing all these things.

895
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:42,080
He's got like these rituals to basically try and cover it up, like going on his little

896
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,080
walk and stuff.

897
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,480
And, you know, the wife brings up a lot of very fair points.

898
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,520
She's like, have you been driving our kids to school high?

899
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,120
And apparently he has.

900
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,240
Which you know, he absolutely has been.

901
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:54,240
Absolutely.

902
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:55,240
Yeah.

903
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:58,320
And she actually honestly, you know, says a very understandable thing.

904
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,040
She's like, I just need you to get out tonight.

905
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,360
Like I can't, I love you and I'm going to forgive you, but like I can't deal with you

906
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:05,360
tonight.

907
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,360
Yeah.

908
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,720
And she's like, spend the night in your drug den or whatever.

909
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:16,120
It's interesting that she sort of the way that this aesthetically mirrors the way a lot

910
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,920
of like similar scenes in other media happens where a wife confronts a husband about an

911
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:26,640
affair, right, and sort of the way that that breaks up a marriage and breaks up a family.

912
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,520
But this addiction is sort of like a chronic problem that they're that they're working

913
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,840
like multiple years, obviously, to sort of work through together for the sake of their

914
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,320
kids, for the sake of their marriage.

915
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,960
Obviously, you know, she loves him very much still.

916
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:47,960
And not only does he like have his schemes, but he has his schemes down to like a science.

917
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:53,400
You know, he's so practiced with it where he has the lamp ready on the counter, you

918
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:54,400
know.

919
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,400
Yeah.

920
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:01,680
But even falling asleep, he rushes out of the drug den and he leaves the space heater

921
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:02,680
on.

922
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:03,680
Oh, yes.

923
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,360
So final destination hint.

924
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,440
He left the space heater on without thinking.

925
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:13,480
I do want to say in this conversation, though, I just have a problem where I have trouble

926
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,240
taking Peter Krause's performance seriously sometimes, not that I think it's not that

927
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:19,600
I think he's bad or anything.

928
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,760
I think he just comes off a little like over the top to me in a way that I like.

929
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,800
Like as I've said many times, I love like the campy elements of the show.

930
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,400
But like to me, I think he's technically good.

931
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,880
It's just he has this unique style.

932
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:39,160
And I wanted to say he there's just something about like the moments in this sort of conversation

933
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:45,360
when he's like listing all of all of the things he does or like the drugs he started

934
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,360
using.

935
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:51,520
He just rattles them off in this sort of like really matter of fact, quick way that I found

936
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:52,520
kind of funny.

937
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,880
He's like, yeah, well, I started my back started hurting again.

938
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:56,880
I got a prescription.

939
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,880
I started doing pills and then I started drinking again.

940
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,280
Like, I don't know.

941
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,600
He's like not really giving it any like.

942
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:08,120
It's like he was like he was delivering his lines in the cadence of like Nicole Kidman

943
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:13,840
and being the Riccardo's like it was like it was like an Aaron Sorkin joint scene.

944
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,320
Yeah, he is like Catherine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby.

945
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,520
Oh my God.

946
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,760
Again, I don't think it's bad, but like and I've noticed he does this.

947
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,120
Sometimes he's like a very quick.

948
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:31,560
He'll deliver dialogue very quickly in a way that kind of this comes off as kind of silly

949
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:32,560
to me.

950
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:33,560
But I don't know.

951
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,000
I just like if you watch that argument back, there's something it's also like with his

952
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,960
little smirk on his face, it just makes him seem like less serious.

953
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,840
But again, not saying it's bad, just like a funny thing.

954
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,280
We can say funny to me.

955
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,280
We can say he's very theatrical.

956
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,080
He's a very theatrical actor.

957
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,040
Yeah, but like in a way that I love, I also wanted to point out, I feel like he was doing

958
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:57,480
a lot of the Bobby Smirk in these conversations with his wife.

959
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:58,480
Definitely.

960
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,200
Maybe maybe just maybe just his natural resting state and it's like it's like Oliver starts

961
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,800
accent and he has to like train himself out of it.

962
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:11,160
So he kind of goes out again because his wife told him to spend the night somewhere else.

963
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,000
So he tries to go back to his drug den.

964
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,280
He's like forgotten the key so he can't get in.

965
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,200
So instead he goes up to the roof, falls asleep drinking, taking pills on the roof, which

966
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,000
back to the polar vortex thing.

967
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,560
That's what I thought was unbelievable is like, damn, he would, I don't know if he'd

968
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:26,560
be able to.

969
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,560
He would die.

970
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,560
I mean, he's drunk and high.

971
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:29,560
So who knows.

972
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,320
Yeah, maybe that's keeping him warm inside.

973
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,320
Yeah.

974
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,680
And then his wife asks him what he's taking, he says quote everything.

975
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:37,680
Everything.

976
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,200
He says everything, just everything.

977
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:45,040
I'm sorry, not again, this is not like funny subject matter, but that also I was like,

978
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,040
damn, everything.

979
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,040
Everything.

980
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,040
Like is he being literal?

981
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,040
What's like, I don't know.

982
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,120
I don't see any track marks on his arms.

983
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,120
Like it can't be everything.

984
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,520
I think he was supposed to be just like exaggerating, but I thought it was kind of a funny thing

985
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,520
for him to say.

986
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,720
I just like imagine what everything entails, like, oh, he's smoking some pot.

987
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:05,640
Like, you know, he's taking ecstasy.

988
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,520
He's taking opiates.

989
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:13,760
He's fucking going to a music festival and like doing acid with a bunch of hippies.

990
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,360
It's drinking.

991
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:22,600
But then he wakes up a few hours later and we get a 911 call in the flashback.

992
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,720
Yes, wild, wild, revolutionary.

993
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:32,440
911 call of the episode and it's in the flashback and Bobby wakes up, buildings on fire, people

994
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:33,440
are dying.

995
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,440
Yes.

996
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,760
So he rushes back down to try and make sure his wife and kids are okay.

997
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:43,640
He first like finds a man who's on fire, puts the fire out.

998
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,120
He finds his family's apartment door.

999
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,520
He kicks it in and right as he kicks in the door, he and this man both fall through the

1000
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:51,520
floor.

1001
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,520
The floor gives out.

1002
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:53,520
It collapses.

1003
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,520
Yeah.

1004
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:55,920
He goes to check on his family.

1005
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,040
Some firefighters come in.

1006
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,400
They seem to recognize him.

1007
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,400
They're like, Bobby, you got to get out of here.

1008
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,640
He, you know, obviously is in like not only is he high and drunk, but he's like fully

1009
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,720
in his survival mode, got to save my family mode.

1010
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:09,880
So he's just like frantically yelling at these people.

1011
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,320
He's like, give me your gear.

1012
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:16,680
Basically begging them to like, like, let him like go in there and like get his family

1013
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:17,680
out.

1014
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,680
It's like, it's very tragic to watch.

1015
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:19,680
Honestly, it is.

1016
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:24,040
It's, it's rough and they have to like physically drag him out of there.

1017
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,480
And I think that point is when we cut back to the present in the church.

1018
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,320
That's all we see of this flashback.

1019
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:34,080
And the gay priest asks him like why it happened and, you know, well, first of all, the gay

1020
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,880
priest is wiping away tears.

1021
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,880
Yeah.

1022
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:37,880
Which I thought was a great detail.

1023
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,280
Like what an empath.

1024
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:40,280
What an empath.

1025
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,160
He chose the right profession.

1026
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,160
Yes.

1027
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:49,280
And yes, sort of like why it happened and Bobby reveals like, like nothing in the building

1028
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:50,280
was up to code.

1029
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,320
Obviously, this is why he took everything so personally at the Indian wedding.

1030
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,320
Yeah.

1031
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:55,320
The sprinklers didn't go off.

1032
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,400
They're like asbestos in the walls and it was made of like very shoddy material.

1033
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:04,320
Like, you know, the, I think there's like, I don't know, like electrical cables weren't

1034
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:05,720
hooked up properly or something like that.

1035
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:06,720
I don't know.

1036
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:10,200
It was like, he's basically everything that could have been wrong was wrong.

1037
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:11,200
Yeah.

1038
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,760
Gas pipes were, were not insulated properly or something.

1039
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:14,760
I don't know fucking now.

1040
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,120
It was just like, it was like everything that could go wrong with the construction and management

1041
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:25,960
of a building did go wrong and he didn't see it because he was always drunk and high.

1042
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:26,960
Yeah.

1043
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,360
And like, obviously he has a trained eye for it.

1044
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:35,800
Like if he was sober or one presumes, he would have been able to see something and

1045
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,000
be like, maybe we should get an inspection going here.

1046
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,640
So he feels a sense of guilt over that.

1047
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:46,480
He obviously blames himself not only because his space heater was basically the inciting

1048
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:51,040
spark, which I don't think we technically mentioned we hinted at it, but yeah, we actually

1049
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,120
see his space heater spark.

1050
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:58,360
Some very funny looking CGI spark effects, you know, so in addition to him like literally

1051
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:04,160
technically being the start of the fire, he also just feels like had he been in his sound

1052
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:10,400
mind, he would have noted all of these problems with the building's fire safety.

1053
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:11,400
Yeah.

1054
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:16,120
We find out 148 people died in the fire, including his wife and kids.

1055
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:22,160
He has an insane line where he says he choked them on smoke and then burned their little

1056
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,160
bodies.

1057
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,680
Which I'm sure is how it feels.

1058
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,040
I'm sure it's how it feels.

1059
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,800
It's like, damn, he is very tortured.

1060
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:31,800
Very tortured.

1061
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,560
And honestly, you do see that in like the way that he sort of his breakdown scene.

1062
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,920
I feel like those breakdown scenes are really hard to do, especially when, you know, I feel

1063
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,920
like male actors are always given the note to sort of like rein it in.

1064
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,520
You know what I mean?

1065
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,480
And you think Peter is not reining it in?

1066
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,840
No, I think he's letting it all out.

1067
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:51,840
And good for him.

1068
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:52,840
Good for him.

1069
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:53,840
Bobby needs that.

1070
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:54,840
Yeah.

1071
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,160
So yeah, the priest is basically encouraging him like, you know, you've been carrying

1072
00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:59,760
this burden all by yourself.

1073
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:04,280
Like you should just be honest with your coworkers, which makes Bobby emotional, but you kind of

1074
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,120
get the vibe that he is going to try that.

1075
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:08,120
Yeah.

1076
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,120
The gay priest is correct.

1077
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,120
Yeah, he's correct about that.

1078
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,120
Of course.

1079
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,400
I don't think, I was going to say, I don't think he has anything to be ashamed of.

1080
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,280
I don't know, but I don't know if that's true.

1081
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,480
I thought it's like honesty is the best policy.

1082
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:21,480
Yeah.

1083
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,280
He'll never get closer to his team without letting them in like this.

1084
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:26,280
Yeah, exactly.

1085
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:27,280
Exactly.

1086
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,360
And it's like, it's the, it's the day that he stops standing in place and starts walking

1087
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,120
towards them and meeting them where they are.

1088
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:35,120
Yeah.

1089
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:40,080
So we cut to Hen and her wife, Karen, at the playground.

1090
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:41,080
Yes.

1091
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,680
Our very first Karen Wilson appearance.

1092
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:45,680
Yass.

1093
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:51,920
This episode marks the first appearance of Tracy Toms as the one and only lesbian rock

1094
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,320
ass scientist, Karen Wilson.

1095
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,320
Literally.

1096
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,680
Basically the star of this show.

1097
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:58,680
Yes.

1098
00:52:58,680 --> 00:52:59,680
Yes.

1099
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,200
I was like, I had like air horns going off in my head when she showed up in this episode.

1100
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:05,200
Certainly the most.

1101
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:06,200
Finally.

1102
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,400
Certainly the most deserving recurring cast member to be promoted to main cast.

1103
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:10,600
It hasn't happened yet.

1104
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:11,600
Yes.

1105
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,600
Well, it's hard to say.

1106
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,400
I mean, she would have to get more involved with like the first responder stuff, I think.

1107
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:21,800
And I also don't think it's like bad to have characters be in the background as long as

1108
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,760
they're like given adequate stuff.

1109
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:24,760
Yeah.

1110
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,280
But like, I mean, Albert was main cast for a season.

1111
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,280
Yeah.

1112
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,600
So I don't know if he gets one season of main cast, she should get one too.

1113
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:33,600
Tracy top.

1114
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,440
It's like Karen becomes interim captain somehow.

1115
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:37,600
How great would that be?

1116
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:38,600
How great would that be?

1117
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:43,040
I don't know if Michael could be a firefighter, but I am a rocket scientist.

1118
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:47,160
If Michael could be main cast for all those seasons, Karen can get one.

1119
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,680
I don't think I don't think Michael was main cast.

1120
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:50,680
Was he not?

1121
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:51,680
Oh, I could have sworn he was.

1122
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:52,680
I don't think he ever was.

1123
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,880
I would think he only was ever recurring, but I could be wrong.

1124
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:56,880
Michael Grant.

1125
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,080
I'm looking this up right now.

1126
00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,080
Yeah.

1127
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,960
Michael Grant is a former main character on 911.

1128
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:01,960
Who is the ex husband of a thing?

1129
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:02,960
Okay.

1130
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,280
But that's not the same as that's just like what his what his wiki says.

1131
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,520
No, no, I'm telling you, he's he's main cast.

1132
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,520
I don't believe that.

1133
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:11,520
Okay.

1134
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:12,520
Okay.

1135
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:17,520
I mean, like was he billed as a as a main cast member?

1136
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,520
Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to the Wikipedia right now because they have it listed.

1137
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:28,000
I know that May and Harry were also main cast for a while and then may make sense to be

1138
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,800
main cast in the seasons where she becomes more of a.

1139
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:31,800
Yep.

1140
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,400
Rockman Dunbar as Michael Grant, Athena's ex husband seasons one through five.

1141
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:36,800
Well, okay.

1142
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:37,800
If you say so.

1143
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,800
I'm not trying to like be not trying to be mean to Rockman Dunbar.

1144
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,360
I just feel like his character did not seem like main cast.

1145
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,360
Yeah.

1146
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:50,440
I mean, I mean, neither did Albert, but he got a season like on his Wikipedia.

1147
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,320
It says main cast season one through five, like all of his seasons.

1148
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,120
That just does not make sense.

1149
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,120
It just doesn't.

1150
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:04,720
Well, you know, good for him if he was like being paid for that type of billing.

1151
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,720
But damn.

1152
00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:06,720
Yeah.

1153
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:11,680
So, here, Hen and Karen are taking Dunney to the park and they're sitting on the bench

1154
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:17,160
watching him on the playground as parents are often do.

1155
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:18,920
So true.

1156
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:25,440
And they're having this little conversation because Karen wants Hen to, I guess, sort

1157
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:30,720
of, I guess leave Eva in the cell and hence, Hen is kind of leaning more towards helping

1158
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:31,720
her out.

1159
00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:32,720
Yeah.

1160
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:39,000
I wanted to note in terms of like the production design of this scene, Hen is wearing these

1161
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:44,720
like conspicuously dark sunglasses where you cannot see her eyes at all.

1162
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:48,680
And maybe it's reading too much into it, but I feel like that was a conscious choice on

1163
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:53,480
the part of the costumer to be like, she's in this murky state of mind.

1164
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:59,120
And like, you know, she's like, Karen can't quite trust her right now and she's not really

1165
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,280
showing her hand completely.

1166
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,640
And so we can't see her eyes at all in this scene.

1167
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:05,640
I like that.

1168
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:06,640
That was my thought.

1169
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:07,640
No, I like that.

1170
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:08,640
I like that.

1171
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,600
Maybe she was wearing the super dark sunglasses to communicate like she's not being totally

1172
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,640
forthcoming about her feelings towards Eva.

1173
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:16,640
Yeah.

1174
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,400
She's being a little shady, so she's wearing her shades.

1175
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:24,080
So shout out to whoever made the decision to give her those super, super dark sunglasses.

1176
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,080
Yeah.

1177
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,960
And it's a pretty brief scene, but and it's like just like sort of, it's like a tertiary

1178
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:35,440
sort of introduction to Karen, but it is good to get Tracy Toms in the episode and you find

1179
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:43,160
out more about what you'd imagine Karen's feelings about Eva would be, which is she

1180
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:44,160
hates that bitch.

1181
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,920
Keep her in a cage like, you know.

1182
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:47,920
Yeah.

1183
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,800
Hen has a line where she's like, she's not as bad as you think.

1184
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,000
And Karen says she's worse.

1185
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,000
She's worse.

1186
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Right.

1187
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Yeah.

1188
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,960
So from there we cut to back to Buck and Abby.

1189
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:01,280
I almost said Buck and Eddie.

1190
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:02,280
No, not yet.

1191
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,280
Not yet.

1192
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:04,280
Not yet.

1193
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:05,280
Not yet.

1194
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:06,280
Not yet.

1195
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,280
Getting ahead of myself.

1196
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,840
Buck and Abby, this is another kind of interestingly structured episode where like instead of like

1197
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:16,280
really cutting back between like A, B and C plots in a really evenly distributed way,

1198
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:21,760
we have like opening a couple like introductions and then like huge Bobby flashback and then

1199
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,520
we get back to everybody else's stuff.

1200
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:24,520
Yeah.

1201
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,720
And you know, I was sweet on it before just because I liked the character work that they

1202
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,480
were doing, but I'm not crazy about the structure of this episode.

1203
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:36,160
It just feels very like sort of disjointed and kind of poorly paced in my opinion.

1204
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:41,160
Like I really like the rhythm that they get into as the show goes along where they sort

1205
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,960
of have an even spread or at least a more even spread because I think that helps keep

1206
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:46,960
things rolling.

1207
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:53,080
Whereas I feel like, I mean, like I certainly like for a while you sort of forget that like

1208
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:57,640
the thing with Patricia is happening or like the specifics on everything with Hennan Eva,

1209
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:02,280
like is like you're spending so much time with Bobby and his flashback.

1210
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:06,320
And like, I don't know, like all the stories are kind of equally interesting to me.

1211
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,200
So I just, I just, I want to spend an equal amount of time on them.

1212
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:10,200
I don't know.

1213
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:11,200
Maybe that's just me, but I don't know.

1214
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,280
I don't think like it didn't not work for me, but yeah, I did kind of take note of this

1215
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,320
being a kind of weird way to structure it.

1216
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:19,320
Yeah.

1217
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,600
So Abby and Buck are in Buck's Jeep together.

1218
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,520
They're talking about looking for Patricia.

1219
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:30,160
They've got Athena on the line, like letting, keeping them updated if the police hear anything.

1220
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:35,080
They've also got one of those little scanners to like, yeah, scanners to hear whatever calls

1221
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:43,480
come in on the like police radio and very styles core, by the way, very styles.

1222
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,880
And Buck has this line that I took note of where, you know, they're talking about how

1223
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,760
this is the first time they're really meeting each other.

1224
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:55,520
And he says, worst first date ever, which reminded me of the previous episode being called worst

1225
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:56,520
day ever.

1226
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:01,760
It, you know, made me want to go, Buck, no, that title of the episode is worst day ever.

1227
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:10,320
And then he just like, he just jumps right into like, oh, you haven't had sex in a year.

1228
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:16,240
He is so scandalized by hearing that she might not have had sex in not even like under a

1229
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,240
year.

1230
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:18,240
Yeah.

1231
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,080
And it's like, Buck, it's honestly not that crazy.

1232
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:22,080
It's not.

1233
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:23,080
It's not.

1234
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,080
Stuff happens.

1235
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,080
Like life gets a little bit.

1236
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:29,440
There are some great moments where like, you know, she says, it's been a while since

1237
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,800
I've been on a date and he says, what, like two weeks?

1238
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:34,800
Something like that.

1239
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,720
Oh, God, he's such a goddamn menace.

1240
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,520
Buck 1.0, you will always be famous.

1241
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,080
Jesus Christ, Buck.

1242
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:44,560
Most people are not going on separate dates that often.

1243
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:45,560
That often.

1244
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:46,560
I'm projecting.

1245
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:47,960
Maybe that's just speaking for myself.

1246
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:52,680
I mean, like, I definitely, I've certainly known some people who have.

1247
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:57,880
I can tell you from my experience, I like to like get to know people for kind of a substantial

1248
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:58,880
amount of time.

1249
00:59:58,880 --> 00:59:59,880
I don't know.

1250
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:00,880
Not Buck though.

1251
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:01,880
Yeah.

1252
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:08,360
Buck and Abby happened to hear on their little scanner, a call come in about a downed power

1253
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:13,960
line that has electrified a pool where a little girl is stuck in the pool on like a

1254
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:19,080
pool floaty, so they decide to go help because they realize they're closer to it than the

1255
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,120
first responders coming to the rescue.

1256
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:27,720
And so they like run into these people's yard and yeah, scary situation where you have

1257
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:32,560
this like, gotta be like two or three year old girl sitting on this big floaty in the

1258
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,720
middle of what you know is like a live charged pool.

1259
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,560
Some guy has jumped in to rescue her.

1260
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:39,560
They're like, is that the dad?

1261
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,360
And the mom says, no, that's the man.

1262
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:42,360
The man.

1263
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:43,360
The man.

1264
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:44,360
Poor manny.

1265
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,160
He is dead as fuck.

1266
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,160
Yeah.

1267
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:51,600
And she's by the way, she's floating on like a giant slice of pizza essentially.

1268
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,880
Like, like it's a pizza shaped floaty.

1269
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:54,880
Yeah.

1270
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:55,880
Awesome.

1271
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,360
They're trying to figure out what to do.

1272
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,360
The dad comes out of the house and tries to run to the pool.

1273
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:02,360
Buck tackles.

1274
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,840
Football tackles him as he is want to do.

1275
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,840
Buck is always fucking tackling people.

1276
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:07,840
Yeah.

1277
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:08,840
One of his signature moves.

1278
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,520
It's a crazy scenario, but it's also it's Abby's first time out in the field and she

1279
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,360
gets this fucking like insane thing.

1280
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:20,160
And so she thinks fast and she goes to the rubber hose that doesn't conduct electricity.

1281
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:24,880
Well, let us just say that before before she gets that idea, Buck picks up like a killer

1282
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,920
whale shaped pool floaty and she's like, what are you doing?

1283
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:33,280
And he's like, I'm going to ride this out to the middle of the pool, which doesn't make

1284
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:38,600
any sense because like his legs would definitely get into the water.

1285
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,680
But I love that that was his first idea.

1286
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,560
Maybe he'd be like maybe he like one of those like those planking guys.

1287
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:44,960
Remember when planking was big?

1288
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:46,800
Oh, yeah, he's going to plank on the.

1289
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,600
Yeah, right above the water.

1290
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,600
Yeah, he definitely won't fall.

1291
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,680
The core strength for that.

1292
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:58,560
Probably I just don't know they is the balance or that floaty has the the fortitude.

1293
01:01:58,560 --> 01:01:59,560
Right.

1294
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,960
So thankfully Abby is like, okay, we're not going to fucking do that.

1295
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:04,960
Yeah, we're not.

1296
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:11,680
Abby walks over to the garden hose and snips off a big length of it and they decide to

1297
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:15,080
like, you know, Abby's on one side of the pool, bucks on the other.

1298
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:20,400
They take the hose and like walk it over to the girl, have her grab onto it so that they

1299
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,600
can pull her to the edge of the pool, which is pretty smart.

1300
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,960
And they get her out of there and then the firefighters arrived.

1301
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,560
They're able to turn off the electricity.

1302
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:33,560
I hope they were able to revive that Manny because what an awful way to go.

1303
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,800
The 5000 volts and pool of water.

1304
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,760
I don't know.

1305
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,560
It's not looking good for him.

1306
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,920
But people on this show have survived way crazier than that, if we're being honest.

1307
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:44,920
He was floating.

1308
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:49,440
I mean, it was probably only like a couple of minutes.

1309
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,120
Wasn't his eyes open though?

1310
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:55,400
Well, that doesn't mean anything.

1311
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,680
How many volts do you think pumped through Buck when he got struck by lightning?

1312
01:02:58,680 --> 01:02:59,680
Spoilers.

1313
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,280
You want this man to keep that in.

1314
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,520
You want this man to be alive so bad.

1315
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:08,880
I'm just I felt bad because like the fact that he's the Manny like imagine dying over

1316
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:10,280
some dumb ass job.

1317
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,000
Yeah, I don't know.

1318
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,080
And I probably like from one of those agencies.

1319
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,440
You know, my sister used to work for one of those like not glamorous work.

1320
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:22,720
You're like underpaid to go look after kids for rich people.

1321
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:27,440
And then you die in a pool trying to rescue the kid you're taking care of.

1322
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,200
I just know that if I was Buck and Abby, I would have been so pissed off that right

1323
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:35,000
as we finish this stunt, the fire department comes and turns off the power.

1324
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,000
I thought that too.

1325
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,440
I was like, oh, you probably could have just waited.

1326
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:43,080
Yeah, like I like who knows if they would have thought of the ingenious.

1327
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,640
I guess no, because they turned the power off.

1328
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,200
I was going to say who knows if they would have thought of that great rescue, but I guess

1329
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,680
it wouldn't have mattered if they turned the power off.

1330
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,320
It's like when you wait like for your opportunity to start jaywalking and you get that perfect

1331
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,320
little gap in the cars.

1332
01:03:56,320 --> 01:04:00,200
And then as you're walking, the light like turns like green on your end.

1333
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,680
So you could you could have walked anyways.

1334
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,400
It's like, oh, okay, great.

1335
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,200
That's a very New York comparison for you to make.

1336
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:10,520
Congratulations on the fact that it's no longer illegal to jaywalk in New York.

1337
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:11,520
Thank you very much.

1338
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,520
I got a hit tweet out of it.

1339
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:14,520
Yeah, I noticed.

1340
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,040
I got people getting angry at you in the comments.

1341
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:18,040
It was my first.

1342
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,640
It was actually my first non-summerton related hit tweet.

1343
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:22,640
Damn.

1344
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:23,640
Yeah.

1345
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,640
Congrats on that.

1346
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,560
You don't need your legacy to be tied to that guy.

1347
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:27,560
Thank God.

1348
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:28,560
Twitter hit tweet legacy.

1349
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:29,560
Thank God.

1350
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,240
That's that the replies that were so funny because it's like everyone's like actually

1351
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,200
cops who's jaywalking as a way to criminalize black people and harass them.

1352
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,200
I'm like, I know that.

1353
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,520
I know that.

1354
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,520
Like it's the NYPD.

1355
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,200
Who do you think I am?

1356
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,040
It's like, I was a joke.

1357
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,480
Sweaty calm down.

1358
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:53,800
Twitter is like millions of the most humorless people in the world.

1359
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:54,800
Seriously.

1360
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,360
Getting together to try to experience jokes together.

1361
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:58,560
It's not a good mix.

1362
01:04:58,560 --> 01:04:59,560
It's okay.

1363
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,760
At least 400,000 people thought it was funny.

1364
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,040
So you know, that's comforting.

1365
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,040
That's comforting.

1366
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:10,040
We go from there to we have this sort of scene where they're walking away from the call

1367
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:14,440
and Abby's sort of, she's riding the high of saving that little girl's life and you

1368
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:20,560
sort of, you get to understand what they both see in each other.

1369
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:21,560
Right?

1370
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,280
You know, Abby's tied down with her mom.

1371
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,480
She says back in the car, like it's hard to feel sexy with your mom dying and the living

1372
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,800
room or something like that.

1373
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:31,800
And so she's...

1374
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:32,800
Yeah.

1375
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:40,180
She's drawn to Buck's reckless, daring, adventurous life and he's drawn to her stability, it seems.

1376
01:05:40,180 --> 01:05:44,400
Because then in the car, he actually says, I was looking at your hands earlier because

1377
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,000
you know, when you deal with stuff like that, there's all this adrenaline and my first few

1378
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,800
calls, my hands would be shaking like crazy and your hands didn't shake at all.

1379
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:52,800
Yeah.

1380
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,920
I feel like it's kind of a metaphor for, yeah, what he likes about her that she's this

1381
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,120
stable, calm kind of person.

1382
01:05:58,120 --> 01:05:59,120
Yeah, I agree.

1383
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:05,280
It's a really good way to do this sort of like this kind of age gap relationship where

1384
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:13,480
you sort of tie it into, first person to say age gap relationship in a way that's praising.

1385
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,480
Give us more of this age gap relationship.

1386
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,160
You actually tie it into like who they are as people and sort of like what they need

1387
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,760
in their lives and their lack and what they're finding in each other.

1388
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:28,240
It's like, you know, she finds this sort of youthful sort of thrill seeking lifestyle and

1389
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:32,200
Buck and he finds this maturity in her, this stability like you said.

1390
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:33,200
Yeah, Buck needs to come to age.

1391
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,320
Yeah, it's exactly that.

1392
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:39,280
It's kind of, it's almost like a coming of age moment for both of them where she's reclaiming

1393
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,200
her youth and he's coming into his maturity.

1394
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:48,320
Yeah, yeah, it's like both of what their strengths are in these two different periods

1395
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:53,880
of their lives and how they're able to help each other kind of, dare I say, great written

1396
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:54,880
romance.

1397
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:55,880
I would agree.

1398
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:57,280
I did not.

1399
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:03,640
I did not anticipate that we would be such like Buck Abbey stands as we have been so far

1400
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:04,640
in this podcast.

1401
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:08,040
I think part of it is that we know that it's not a permanent thing.

1402
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,200
It's like kind of easier to just enjoy it.

1403
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:11,200
Yeah.

1404
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:15,040
Because we kind of know that the stakes aren't that high since it's not going to last forever.

1405
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,880
It's like we're Abbey in this situation and we're like, well, this probably isn't my end

1406
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,680
game, but I'm just going to like enjoy this whirlwind while I can.

1407
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:23,960
They're just stepping stones for each other.

1408
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,360
And honestly, it's kind of all they need to be because like that's kind of where they

1409
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:28,360
are in their lives.

1410
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:29,360
It's sort of what they need.

1411
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,600
So yeah, I think it really works.

1412
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:38,160
And honestly, it's like, it's making me wonder why the Buck Abbey hate is so strong at all.

1413
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:39,160
Yeah.

1414
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,360
You know, I wish I knew.

1415
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:42,360
Wish I knew.

1416
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,520
Why do people hate Abbey so much?

1417
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:48,240
Could it be that they just hate Witton?

1418
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:56,480
So they get a call from, yes, they get a call from Athena, who says that somebody matching

1419
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,360
Patricia's description has just been brought into a hospital.

1420
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:00,360
So they rush off to the hospital.

1421
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:01,600
It's a fully night time, by the way.

1422
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,400
She's been gone for like almost 24 hours.

1423
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:04,600
It's become evening.

1424
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:07,960
And so they bring Patricia home, right?

1425
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:12,320
I had a feeling you would have something to say about this scene.

1426
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,240
So they bring Patricia home.

1427
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,920
Buck is still with them.

1428
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,520
And Patricia like looks at Buck.

1429
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,320
She's like, is that Tom?

1430
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:31,400
I listen, I felt so vindicated for a moment because I said in my video that, okay, assuming

1431
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,560
that most of our listeners are like watching the show currently, not all of them probably,

1432
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:39,280
but like if any or like if they've seen my video or whatever, if they know about what's

1433
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:43,520
going on currently on the show, you know, Buck's dating this guy, Tommy.

1434
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:48,560
And the joke that we keep referring to in these episodes is that Abby early in the show

1435
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,880
also mentions having an ex named Tommy.

1436
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:55,280
And so this is sort of a fan like crack theory of like, obviously this isn't the case, but

1437
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,760
imagine if it was the same time.

1438
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:02,680
And in this scene, Patricia like mistakes Buck for Tommy.

1439
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:07,440
And something I pointed out in my video is that I have always felt that the Tommy that

1440
01:09:07,440 --> 01:09:12,640
Buck is dating now kind of looks a little too similar to Buck for me to like be on board

1441
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:13,640
with their relationship.

1442
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:19,120
They don't look identical, but like they have kind of similar build, similar hair or whatever.

1443
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:24,680
And so in this moment, I was like, wait, this actually makes me think this is like more evidence

1444
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,680
for the two Tommy's being the same.

1445
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:34,320
If that if Buck would be mistakeable for Tommy, but I realized that the mom has Alzheimer's.

1446
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:38,520
I wrote down in my notes, Jane's gonna love this one.

1447
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,520
And you know I did.

1448
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,000
I know you did.

1449
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:48,080
And like, I just like, I wrote, I wrote in my notes, the jokes right themselves.

1450
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:52,280
The reason I go so hard for this fan theory is because like, I'm correct me if I'm wrong,

1451
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,880
but Tommy's not a very common name.

1452
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:55,880
Right.

1453
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,120
I mean, I don't think it's uncommon.

1454
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,120
I'd be like, Thomas or Tom, sure.

1455
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,840
But like, how, how many grown adult men do you know, go by Tommy?

1456
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:04,840
Right.

1457
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:05,840
Right.

1458
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:07,840
It kind of evokes like a propeller hat.

1459
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:08,840
Little child.

1460
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:09,840
Right.

1461
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:10,840
Hey Tommy.

1462
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:11,840
Hey Timmy.

1463
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:12,840
Hey Jimmy.

1464
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,840
Hey buddy.

1465
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:15,720
Like, you know, like it's that sort of thing.

1466
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,000
I just, I need this to be canon now.

1467
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,840
I started out like admonishing you for even bringing it up.

1468
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,400
And now I'm like fully on the conspiracy train.

1469
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,200
Like yes, it is the same Tommy.

1470
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,520
I know exactly how it happened to Buck would be at Tommy's apartment.

1471
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,480
He'd find like an old like photo book and he'd like, oh my God.

1472
01:10:31,480 --> 01:10:33,880
How do you know Abby?

1473
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:34,880
You know Abby?

1474
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,000
And it's like a big moment and cut to commercial through the mirror of my mind.

1475
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:42,120
And then we'd come back and be like, it'd be like really like, like it would be like

1476
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,880
kind of like intense standoff almost.

1477
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,480
I love like all the shippers have been like dreaming of all these different ways he could

1478
01:10:48,480 --> 01:10:49,480
break up with Tommy.

1479
01:10:49,480 --> 01:10:50,480
What if this is the reason?

1480
01:10:50,480 --> 01:10:51,480
This is the reason.

1481
01:10:51,480 --> 01:10:52,480
This is the reason.

1482
01:10:52,480 --> 01:10:53,480
I'm sorry.

1483
01:10:53,480 --> 01:10:57,840
I just can't date another person who's dated my traumatic ex.

1484
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:58,840
Yeah.

1485
01:10:58,840 --> 01:10:59,840
Literally.

1486
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:03,920
I have like no hard feelings at all, but this is a deal breaker for me.

1487
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,080
In fairness, Eddie will have already come out at that point.

1488
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:10,960
And so Buck will have seen him as a viable alternative and wait, I'm so sorry.

1489
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:15,040
But also, hasn't there been like a recent thing with like what the casting crew have

1490
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,800
been saying about like what's going to happen next in season eight?

1491
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:23,240
Didn't they say that there's going to be a thing where like Buck learns more about Tommy's

1492
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:24,240
past?

1493
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:25,240
Yes.

1494
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:26,240
Like challenged by that.

1495
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,240
Yes.

1496
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:28,240
Yes.

1497
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:29,240
They totally did.

1498
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:30,240
It's happening.

1499
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,800
It's happening.

1500
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,320
You heard it here first.

1501
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,520
Well, this is what's going to happen.

1502
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:37,520
And this is so funny too.

1503
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:42,600
Because by the time we post this episode, like probably episode six and maybe even episode

1504
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,800
seven will have already come out.

1505
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,160
And almost definitely proved us wrong.

1506
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,080
But I think we should keep this in.

1507
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:50,560
Just a little time capsule.

1508
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:55,280
Like we'll know who the president is and we'll also know definitively that we're wrong.

1509
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:56,280
Yes.

1510
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:57,280
Yass.

1511
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:58,280
Yass.

1512
01:11:58,280 --> 01:11:59,280
Yass.

1513
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,800
I'll be a Tommy Abbey truth or for life though.

1514
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:02,800
Me too.

1515
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:03,800
Me too.

1516
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:06,400
And honestly, I'm also a truth that Tommy has a wife.

1517
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:07,800
That would be insane.

1518
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,400
But I'm not really, I can't say I'm a truth or for that.

1519
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:12,400
It's okay.

1520
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:13,400
But I'll take the abbey thing.

1521
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:14,400
It's okay.

1522
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,400
It's okay.

1523
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,720
I'll do like the really like insane shit.

1524
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:18,720
It's okay.

1525
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,840
I'm happy to do that.

1526
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:24,760
But so then Abby and Buck are saying good night.

1527
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:29,440
Oh, there's also a funny moment with Patricia where she like, she like pulls buck closer

1528
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:32,160
and she's like, take care of her.

1529
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:33,160
Be kind to Abby.

1530
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:34,160
She's like, okay mom.

1531
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:35,160
Bye.

1532
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:36,160
Bye.

1533
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,960
Did you ever see that SNL sketch?

1534
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,560
I think it was like a segment they used to do on Weekend Update where Andy Samberg

1535
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:49,320
would come on and he would be playing specifically the like jock boyfriend in a teen romcom who

1536
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,640
gets like rejected for like the real love interest.

1537
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:53,640
No.

1538
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:54,640
Did you ever see this?

1539
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,240
I mean, his whole act was he would be like wearing a Letterman jacket.

1540
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:04,280
He sort of goes up on there and he's like, hey, take care of her, man.

1541
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:05,760
And like that was the whole joke.

1542
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:06,760
Oh my God.

1543
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:08,560
Let's remind him of that.

1544
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,040
That's fantastic.

1545
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:14,320
Then we get to Buck and Abby in the kitchen as they're saying goodbye.

1546
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:20,560
And what the fuck kind of game is Buck trying to have?

1547
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:26,160
He's like, what exactly does he say to her?

1548
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:32,240
He's like talking about like, wow, this is the longest I've been hanging out with a woman

1549
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,680
that I want to have sex with.

1550
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,160
Without having sex with her.

1551
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,080
And Abby jokes, oh my mom.

1552
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:40,080
Yeah.

1553
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:41,080
He's like, it's the nightgown.

1554
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:42,080
Buck, yes, he answered.

1555
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:43,080
He would be great at improv.

1556
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:44,080
He'd be great at improv.

1557
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:45,080
It's the nightgown.

1558
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,080
It just drives me crazy.

1559
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,080
Yeah.

1560
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,520
Kind of a weird exchange, but you know, they're matching each other's freak.

1561
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:50,520
They are.

1562
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:51,520
They like each other's humor, apparently.

1563
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:52,520
They are.

1564
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:53,520
They are.

1565
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:54,520
And honestly good for them.

1566
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,760
So then they kind of resolve to just be phone friends again.

1567
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,240
In fact, one of them has a line.

1568
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:01,360
I think it's Abby.

1569
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:08,160
She says, go back to being phone buddies again, which I wrote down in my notes with no commentary.

1570
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:09,160
No commentary.

1571
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:14,160
But anyway, they say goodbye, but it's a very like kind of charged moment where like clearly

1572
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,800
they're very into each other and they've just gotten a lot more attracted to each other

1573
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,200
by meeting each other in person and you know, having this intense day.

1574
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,040
They say goodbye anyway.

1575
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:24,560
It's not a chased hug.

1576
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,320
It's not a chased embrace.

1577
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,040
And we'll just say that.

1578
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,040
Neither of them want to let go.

1579
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,960
And then we go back to the firehouse.

1580
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:35,960
It's the next day.

1581
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,760
There's this residual tension between Hen and Bobby.

1582
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,160
But Buck walks in feeling like a million bucks.

1583
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,160
Like, hey, million bucks.

1584
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:44,160
Hey, million bucks.

1585
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:45,160
Hey, at ease.

1586
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:46,160
Look at this.

1587
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:47,160
I didn't even do that on purpose.

1588
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:48,400
It's like a big golden retriever energy.

1589
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,060
I mean, like a buck is a dog.

1590
01:14:50,060 --> 01:14:51,920
He says, Bobby, oh, Captain.

1591
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,440
My handsome captain.

1592
01:14:53,440 --> 01:14:56,800
He calls him Gary Cooper, Clark Kent looking captain.

1593
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,000
He calls Hen Henry.

1594
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Eta.

1595
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:03,040
And she threatens to fucking like throw him over the rail.

1596
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:07,200
Over the back and as she said, as she said.

1597
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:12,700
And they get their last call the episode this guy, he's a carwash attendant and he gets

1598
01:15:12,700 --> 01:15:14,960
stuck in the fucking brush.

1599
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:19,480
I assume this must have also been based on a viral video. That was just my only thought.

1600
01:15:19,480 --> 01:15:21,600
What one assumes? I don't know. I so

1601
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:26,040
My first job that ever had I was a car wash attendant when I was 15

1602
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,120
Did you ever get stuck in the

1603
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,000
In the spin cycle? No, cuz I waited for the fucking

1604
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,520
Thing to turn off all the way before I hosed it down

1605
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:44,160
But I could totally imagine my dumb ass 15 year old self like a hosin down the car wash and just like fucking getting caught up in

1606
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:51,880
these fucking brushes and the guys and the guy's fine obviously just like really like dizzy or whatever he has whiplash

1607
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:59,180
Checking him out. We finally get a chimney mention, which I'm not sure chimney was even mentioned in the last episode

1608
01:15:59,180 --> 01:16:01,840
Oh, I don't think he was finally get a chimney mention and

1609
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,560
You know just Bobby and passing saying like can't wait for chimney to be back

1610
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:11,760
But they get the guy totally safe, you know, like you said, he's fine, but then we hear

1611
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,760
a fucking laughing

1612
01:16:14,480 --> 01:16:19,960
And they walk over and he's looking he's reviewing the security footage of the guy getting spun around

1613
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,800
Hen is the first to kind of you know, Bobby's like, that's not funny, but you know hen kind of breaks

1614
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,800
I love are you should hide like laughing

1615
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,640
She has some really great moments. She says like I'm not laughing

1616
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:41,160
Like her laughter was really funny. I thought bucks sounded a little forced, but you know, he's still getting his experience

1617
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:48,680
But you'd expect like in like a more like self serious show Bobby to like admonish him and be like buck

1618
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,600
This is not okay. That man could have been seriously hurt

1619
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:57,840
But instead Bobby starts to break down Bobby breaks to and it's like their little bonding moment where they all

1620
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:05,480
Finally the tension breaks. Yeah, and then afterwards, you know hen comes up to Bobby and they finally have a little moment

1621
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:10,400
What does she say to him? Is she like just trying to get him to open up again? I think so. Yeah

1622
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,880
I know he and he does he tells her, you know that

1623
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,440
You know, he lost everything that he cared about everyone he cared about

1624
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,560
and

1625
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:25,160
Too afraid to let more people get close to him. Yeah, he's been afraid of losing them again

1626
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:31,320
Yeah, but then he says very fun like kind of dad energy line where he's like, I'll take you guys back to the station

1627
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:36,160
I'll cook you a meal and I'll introduce you to somebody and she's like who and he says me

1628
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:45,600
And it's very sweet. It's it's like it's the sort of the wholesome sort of family thing that you sort of go to this show for

1629
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:49,040
And and it's good and it's really good. And so then

1630
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:55,160
Final scene final scene one last sequence between Buck and Abby Abby's putting her mom to bed

1631
01:17:55,400 --> 01:18:01,240
Abby so iconic with Abby is wearing like a an oversized button-up shirt

1632
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:05,360
Yeah, as her pajamas and she's holding a huge glass of white wine. Yeah

1633
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:11,800
And she gets a call from Buck and Buck is lying in bed shirtless

1634
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:17,800
Tits out his fucking like tits out. He's got the covers on the covers pulled up, you know

1635
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,840
We've got to stop sexualizing Buck so much. I felt kind of uncomfortable listening to

1636
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:31,280
No, one of our maybe our fourth episode. Yeah, we probably should it probably be it's probably pretty irresponsible

1637
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:36,560
But I mean if the show sexualizes not just a piece of meat Ryan

1638
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:40,680
The buck 1.0 or buck on the hole true

1639
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:47,300
Is it ethical to sexualize buck as long as it's buck 1.0 as long as no, I mean like I mean this is the show's

1640
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:54,080
Whole like thing with him right in the first season, right? He's a very sort of sexualized presence and then he becomes a

1641
01:18:54,760 --> 01:19:01,160
Little bit more I guess mellowed out as the show goes on all I'm saying is I am less slutty

1642
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,320
He gets less slutty all I'm saying is I am

1643
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,040
Riding the high while it lasts

1644
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:13,000
Fair enough, but they start talking on the phone and you can tell bucks just like up to something basically Abby

1645
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:18,400
Okay, I first of all love the energy of Abby getting into bed with a glass of wine

1646
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:23,520
Yes, like I've definitely like sometimes like you're hanging out just like sitting on your bed

1647
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:29,280
And I've had wine in that situation. I can't say I've ever like gotten into my pajamas gotten under the covers

1648
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:34,640
With a glass of wine, but now that's like on my bucket list. I think that's iconic of her

1649
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:38,040
I all I'll all say is I totally have

1650
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,240
Fair enough. No, I think that's the way to live. I think I've been depriving myself

1651
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:50,580
Also, I just want to I just want to enjoy the irony of you saying we need to sexualize buck less on the scene where he has

1652
01:19:50,580 --> 01:19:52,580
phone sex with Abby

1653
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:57,520
Okay, okay. I'm being a little over the top whatever because you know

1654
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:01,640
They they they're talking on the phone and he goes. What are you wearing?

1655
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:07,320
Right. Yes. He asked the classic first. He's like asking her if she's in bed. She says, yeah, I'm in bed

1656
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,240
and then yeah, he asked the classic what are you wearing and

1657
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,160
the episode just kind of cuts

1658
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:18,480
It's like it's like tasteful cut away. It's like he goes like don't me to stop and she goes

1659
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,040
No, no

1660
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:28,960
And we love a consent asking King true, you know even phone sex means consent

1661
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:34,140
Otherwise, you're just one of those creepy phone callers in a slasher movie. Exactly

1662
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:40,400
Yeah, so how do we feel about this episode? Yeah, I mean, I know you said you're not a huge fan of the structure

1663
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:46,560
It's like I said, I think it works for me like it probably could be cleaner, but I don't think anything really didn't work

1664
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:52,720
I love to hear more about Bobby's tragic backstory. You know, it gives us so much context. I

1665
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:57,960
Again kind of digging the buck and Abby thing which I didn't really anticipate on this rewatch

1666
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:03,880
But mm-hmm. Yeah, we love that. Yeah, loved the hen stuff overall like as much as the structure is kind of weird

1667
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:08,200
I like how much we get of all our characters in this episode other than chimney

1668
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:09,120
Obviously, oh

1669
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:15,320
Portion we like still come a toast in the hospital is he'll be back. I want to say next episode. I want to say

1670
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:21,000
It must be yeah, I don't think he's missing for that long. No, I wouldn't think so. No

1671
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:27,880
I I definitely think that's the biggest revelation for me on this rewatch is just how much I'm enjoying the buck Abby

1672
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,080
storyline

1673
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,440
What's their ship name? Is it babby? I think I just think it's buck Abby

1674
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:37,140
His babby's kind of ugly. I mean, you can't do like

1675
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:39,840
No, I think I think it's just buck Abby

1676
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:46,840
Fair enough. That's that's that's how you know buddy cannon because that's the only buck ship name that has a good or monto

1677
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,400
Yeah, I think you know the I'm really really

1678
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:54,640
Curious about the the hen Eva stuff how much attention that's gonna get in the narrative going forward

1679
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:56,640
So remember it getting quite a bit of screen time

1680
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:04,040
And it's leading to some other things that happen in this season. Yeah, I remember I remember it leading to a bit of frustration

1681
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:09,720
On my end with hen's character in that I was basically just pounding on my TV screen like no

1682
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,920
Hen stop you have a family

1683
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,920
Like yeah, we'll have to deal with that when we get to it

1684
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:22,040
Yeah, but for now that all is a relative piece in the Wilson family and

1685
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,960
Yeah, we'll just I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here

1686
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:27,960
You know as much as the structure

1687
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:35,120
Pained me a little bit. I did enjoy all of the time with Bobby's story. I think his story is definitely

1688
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:37,800
one of the most interesting for me and

1689
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:42,960
Yeah, I'm looking forward to exploring it more in the dedicated Bobby episode in season two

1690
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:50,000
When we sort of are I guess prepared to set aside that sort of amount of time for it

1691
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,520
But yeah, I think great performances this episode

1692
01:22:53,800 --> 01:23:01,920
really good character writing and good development especially after such an action-packed last few episodes I think

1693
01:23:02,440 --> 01:23:07,560
Scaling it back and having a more character-focused episode this time was definitely warranted. Mm-hmm. Yeah

1694
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:11,360
I mean they just pack so much into this season. It's pretty wild

1695
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:16,440
I believe our next episode is the Valentine's Day episode which is exciting

1696
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:23,360
So stay tuned for next week. We will be covering season one episode six. I think it's called heartbreaker

1697
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:31,000
Heartbreaker look forward to that kids and that's remember and hopefully our country still has a democracy

1698
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:36,440
Yeah by the time you hear this. I hope everybody got out and voted, you know, I know it's not

1699
01:23:36,440 --> 01:23:42,200
The rosiest year, but there are some choices that are worse than others

1700
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:47,920
So I hope we all made the right one and just remember no matter what happens

1701
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:52,880
One day he'll die and we can all take comfort in that true

1702
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:59,680
And so with that, thank you for listening to this episode of the first response cast you can find us on Twitter

1703
01:24:00,480 --> 01:24:04,880
And on YouTube and tiktok now we are on tiktok

1704
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:12,160
We do technically have our first two tiktoks pretty much flopped. Yeah, however are they on YouTube shorts?

1705
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:17,040
They did okay. They got a few hundred views. Oh nice. Okay. Well, that makes sense like we're youtubers

1706
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,720
So that's kind of our natural domain. I don't really know how any of these things work

1707
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:27,220
But basically we got like no views on tiktok, but you know, we're trying we're trying we're making it work

1708
01:24:27,220 --> 01:24:29,220
But yeah, we're on YouTube now

1709
01:24:29,220 --> 01:24:34,860
And we're trying to post like some highlights and outtakes on like our YouTube shorts and our tiktok and stuff

1710
01:24:35,340 --> 01:24:42,220
That's just all at first response cast as always you can find us on Twitter at first response cast spelled how it sounds

1711
01:24:42,700 --> 01:24:44,700
Spelled how it sounds

1712
01:24:45,220 --> 01:24:50,460
There's nothing else called first response cast out there. So we pretty much have all the user names cornered nothing at all

1713
01:24:50,460 --> 01:24:59,700
You can find me on Twitter at Dan comma dirty and on Instagram at Prime Minister of Sadness. I also

1714
01:25:00,420 --> 01:25:09,260
Upload videos occasionally. I am working on one right now. So stay tuned for that. Yeah, I'm on Twitter at Jane underscore Mulcahy

1715
01:25:09,460 --> 01:25:11,460
Don't ask me about Instagram and

1716
01:25:12,100 --> 01:25:17,800
Honestly, we should just start putting our socials in like the descriptions of these episodes because I feel like it's getting kind of

1717
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:22,740
tedious to plug them every single time honestly, but also always be plugging always be plugging

1718
01:25:22,740 --> 01:25:26,260
Don't stop plugging, you know. Yeah keep watching my 9-1-1 video

1719
01:25:26,580 --> 01:25:31,860
Over and over again because it's got good legs and I want it to just keep getting views until I'm rich and famous

1720
01:25:33,100 --> 01:25:39,940
Is it monetized it sure is oh, yeah, thank you Fox and ABC for not copyright claiming my video

1721
01:25:39,940 --> 01:25:45,840
Hey, that's awesome. There is nothing here's like a little youtuber behind the curtain

1722
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:51,800
Thing is that there is nothing that feels better than uploading a video to YouTube

1723
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:55,760
Certain it's gonna get a bunch of copyright claims and that you're gonna have to re-edit a bunch of times

1724
01:25:55,760 --> 01:26:00,920
And then it goes through checks no issues found green dollar sign. Oh, I feel so good

1725
01:26:01,440 --> 01:26:05,160
It's only happened to me a couple of times. I remember when I uploaded my Teen Wolf video

1726
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:09,680
It was the most grueling editing process of any video I've ever made in my entire life

1727
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,000
And then the upload process took about eight hours

1728
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:19,600
Because I was on like, you know, I'm I'm still on the same computer. I uploaded it on and it's you know

1729
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,200
It's it's nice, but it's you know

1730
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:27,800
It's not the highest end computer in the world and I got out there and I got 40

1731
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:32,360
Copyright claims from Paramount and I had to dispute them all individually

1732
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:36,440
They were all rejected and I had to appeal them all individually. Oh my god

1733
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:40,300
To do it worked it worked on like 99% of them

1734
01:26:40,300 --> 01:26:45,280
But there's one of them that is still on there and so to this day my Teen Wolf video is still demonetized

1735
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:51,120
Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, that sucks so bad. I did not make a penny off of that video. Oh my god

1736
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,120
everybody Venmo Ryan

1737
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:57,720
Yes pay my rent

1738
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:04,880
If you watched the Teen Wolf video you owe him money you owe me money one dollar for every hour you watched

1739
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:12,280
No, I feel like I've gotten pretty good at like sensing like how much footage is too much footage to use in any individual

1740
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:17,800
Thing like when to cut back to myself. I basically just try and cover up like my jump cuts and stuff

1741
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:18,920
Yeah

1742
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:25,240
But yeah, I actually had several places in the 911 video where I was pretty sure I had used like too long of a clip

1743
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:28,320
And I was gonna get flagged, but then it just didn't so that was amazing

1744
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:31,120
Oh, yeah, I did whenever I get a copyright claim for something

1745
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:35,760
It always gives me the vibe that whatever property it is is like insecure, you know

1746
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,680
When I get copyright claims about Teen Wolf, I'm like, oh you need my pennies, huh?

1747
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:47,000
Right, right. Oh, you guys aren't doing well financially. Oh this last fiscal quarter wasn't so good for you, huh?

1748
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,040
Yeah, take my money take my money you have a to steal from a poor

1749
01:27:51,440 --> 01:27:58,060
23 year old in St. Paul, Minnesota. God. All right. Well with that we'll probably cut the recording here

1750
01:27:58,060 --> 01:28:04,120
So thanks again for listening and see you on the other side of this fucking

1751
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:06,760
Other side truly

1752
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:11,160
This concludes the election night special. Yeah, have a good night

1753
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:27,160
Bye, respodcasters. Bye.
