Bonus Episode: 9-1-1 Mini Series #2
Welcome to the second episode in our 9-1-1 Mini Series. Alison and Emily discuss Eddie Diaz's possible queer experience and how the on-screen narrative is driving towards that revelation. On purpose or not? You decide.
They also chat at length about the emotional and physical rollercoaster Buck and Eddie are currently trapped on and why that might be behind the current fandom obsession behind putting those men into Situations. Your mileage may vary.
And the hosts end the episode on a really light-hearted topic: does Bobby Nash deserve his second family?
"Bobby Nash is not a real person. This is a philosophical exercise."
This show is a soap opera, which more fire engines and fewer evil twins. So far.

You're listening to Fandom on
the Rocks.
2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,840
I hit the button and I have no
intro other than to say hello
3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:22,480
and welcome back to this Fandom
on the Rocks and 911 bonus mini
4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,320
episode mini series.
I Am Emily.
5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,800
And I'm Allison.
And we're going to freewheel it
6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,360
through this second episode of
our miniseries where we just wax
7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,040
all things 911.
Because you know, you get on the
8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,040
phone with your friends and
you're like, Oh my God, did you
9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,600
see this thing?
And then all of a sudden it's
10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,800
been 90 minutes and you're still
talking.
11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,440
And so we talked to each other,
but we also want to talk to you,
12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,320
so.
And it's frankly, you know,
13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,080
we've, we've been texting our,
our poor thumbs have been
14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,280
reworked into texting appendages
since, you know, I don't know,
15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,160
20 years, but frankly, it's just
much easier to talk into a
16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,080
microphone.
So much easier.
17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,400
You know, we've, we've adapted
through many different types of
18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,240
phones and texting apparati, but
talking is faster, so we're just
19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,200
going to do this instead.
Indeed.
20
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:18,400
And while I can't put a bunch of
emojis in my voice, I, you know,
21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,480
I can't put tonality into text,
so you know, it's 6 1/2 dozen of
22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,360
the other.
It is.
23
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600
No, that's different, Yeah.
English doesn't really do
24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,240
tonality.
It's not really different.
25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,560
Languages actually kind of do
put emojis in their voices,
26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,040
don't they?
Yeah.
27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,520
They do, in a strange way that's
kind of interesting to think.
28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,560
About English can, but it's
mostly if you're an emotive
29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,600
speaker.
That's the no, Yeah, yeah, no.
30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,760
Yeah, no, no, yeah, tight,
tight.
31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Simply an emoji in a word Tight.
If tight were an emoji, I don't
32
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,160
even know where to start.
Tight.
33
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,240
All right.
Well, Speaking of things that
34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,920
are tight, well.
Not gonna say it.
35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,600
Not really.
I'm not going there.
36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,920
I'm just not going there.
I could, but I'm not.
37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,600
That's that's.
Not even too early.
38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,240
That's for me and my bookmarks.
OK, guys, Yeah.
39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,360
That's between me and my AO3
bookmarks.
40
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,320
You know what though?
It's not because if anyone knows
41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040
our AO3 accounts, those
bookmarks are not private.
42
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,360
No, they're not.
So you know, go enjoy.
43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280
I hope you have fun.
If you get attached to Starek on
44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,480
the way in, we're we're still
here.
45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,960
We got a whole podcast about
that too, and season 3 on the
46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,280
way because they're getting
edited.
47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,960
Yay, but no.
So let's see what has evolved in
48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,320
our own personal 911 fandoms
since the last time we recorded.
49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,720
I know I was gonna say you have
blown through some more episodes
50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,840
is what's happening.
I am now like a third of the way
51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,640
through season 5.
Right now the Grant Nash family
52
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,760
is preparing to prepare to to
preparing to propose to David.
53
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,560
Love this for them and it does
occur to me that his name is
54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720
David Hale.
And I was like, fantastic,
55
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,720
that's Derek's dad.
What a weird mash of family that
56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,760
would be.
That would be a very interesting
57
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,760
the the Grant mash Derek Hale
hassle.
58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Derek Hale would make an
excellent firefighter paramedic
59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,920
though.
Correct.
60
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:21,960
And nobody could scare Uncle
Peter straight like Athena
61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,640
Graham.
Absolutely.
62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,680
So I'm OK with that.
That to you?
63
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,640
Loving it, but that's where I am
right now.
64
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,480
So we've gone all the way
through the tsunami arc, all the
65
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,120
way through the shooting arc.
I'm so sorry.
66
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Do I think about I want in terms
of buddy?
67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Of course I do.
I mean, we can't really let the
68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,040
shooting arc go unaddressed.
They do.
69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,920
They do, which is bananas.
Like there was a text post on
70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,760
the Internet talking about how
there I think now are more post
71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,520
shooting episodes with Eddie
than pre shooting episodes and
72
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,120
they still haven't talked about
it like in a real way.
73
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,560
Yeah.
Like gentlemen.
74
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,880
I know it.
This remains the first,
75
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,520
Literally the first word that
came to mind was bugaboo with
76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,079
this show.
And that's because I'm old as
77
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,720
dirt.
These poor people are thrown
78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760
through so many situations and
nobody talks about it.
79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,640
And they occasionally have a
therapist and you're like, no,
80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,480
I'm sorry.
He was sniped in front of his
81
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,840
husband and they're not talking
about it.
82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,960
And they're not talking about
it.
83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,320
He bled out on the streets of
Los Angeles and Buck had this
84
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,520
man's blood in his mouth and
they're not talking about it.
85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,920
What do you want me to do with
that information?
86
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,760
As even a can even casual
viewers just let that go?
87
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,160
I don't understand.
I know we're not casual viewers
88
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,000
and that's a difference, but can
a casual viewer let that go?
89
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,640
They must, right?
They must.
90
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,000
They must I've.
Never been a casual viewer of
91
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,280
the.
TV show like.
92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,040
I don't understand.
And it's just, it's just to me,
93
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,320
it is wild that they don't ever
talk about any of it, any of it.
94
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,080
I was talking to one of my new
delightful fandom friends about,
95
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,680
you know, well, you know, some
people are really good at
96
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,920
writing the sex stuff.
Some people are really good at
97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,680
writing the like, emotional
fluff stuff.
98
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,480
And I just need them to talk.
And I'm sitting here going like,
99
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,480
yes, he's literally just your
blower boat lock him in a car.
100
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,160
Just lock these two men
together.
101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,680
No touching, just talking.
Keep your hands to yourself.
102
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,280
After you've spoken.
Where's the episode where?
103
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Well, I mean they've already
been sort of kidnapped and they
104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,040
didn't have a conversation like
hands tied, they're back-to-back
105
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,800
to a pole, half kidnapped
conversation, 5 minute scene.
106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,840
What are we doing here?
Like, I just.
107
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,040
You remember I was there, right?
Yeah, I remember you were there.
108
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,440
You didn't see me.
No, I saw you.
109
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,560
Like, come on.
Dudes.
110
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Dudes.
My dudes.
111
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,600
My special friends.
My special friends.
112
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,320
What are we doing?
Something else we were talking
113
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,000
about, and I just want to like,
smooch their big beautiful
114
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,960
brain, is that, you know, we're
all talking the fandom at large.
115
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,920
We're talking and bubbling about
the Eddie coming out arc now.
116
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Whether or not he ever does, I
don't know.
117
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,040
But looking back at it now, kind
of re watching it for the first
118
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,720
time and looking back at the
things that I've seen, his
119
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,080
almost everything he does can be
either explained or made better
120
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240
by him being not sexually
attracted to women.
121
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,480
Literally all of his choices
still make sense.
122
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,000
Some of them make more sense.
The way he reacts to trauma
123
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,400
makes sense.
Some of it makes more sense.
124
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,080
And we were talking about like,
I just need a Buck or Eddie
125
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,560
begins again.
I needed, I needed, I need
126
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,000
another one.
I I love a straight man having a
127
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,840
panic attack at the thought of a
woman.
128
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,920
Like it's not, it's not even
just a woman.
129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,600
It's like, is this woman
attached to your family?
130
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,400
Eddie has like 30 seconds before
he just like passes out on the
131
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,880
ground.
Just fully incapacitated by the
132
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,960
thought of of this person being
part of his family.
133
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,640
Like where he literally gave
custody of his child to his best
134
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,120
friend.
I don't understand it.
135
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,840
I don't understand it.
So either the writers are having
136
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,600
psychotic breaks in the writing
room and just don't know what
137
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,760
they've put down on paper.
Or they're writing the greatest
138
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280
like 9 season.
Will they?
139
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,240
Won't they ARC of all time?
I mean maybe, maybe there's a
140
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Glee style gas leak happening in
the writers room and they just
141
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,880
don't know what they're doing.
Perhaps.
142
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,440
Maybe.
But no, I'm, I'm holding, I'm
143
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,680
holding an obscene amount of
hope for something that isn't
144
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,360
going to happen.
But in my little heart of
145
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,680
hearts, we get an Eddie begins
again where he kind of whether
146
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,960
he's talking to Frank or if he
gets hit on up by a guy in Texas
147
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160
or it if it's his coma dream
when he gets crossed.
148
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,720
By his tree.
He's going to he's getting
149
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,640
crushed by a tree and having a
nice coma dream.
150
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,160
I don't know what it is, but he
goes back and is like
151
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,400
reminiscing about all of the
compet throughout his life.
152
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,280
And then, because Joaquin Sidio
loves us and wants us to be
153
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,280
happy, the episode ends with
just like 10 minutes of
154
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,360
flashback of unseen shot footage
that Joaquin was doing the doing
155
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,640
the thing the whole time and
that there's just like a bucket
156
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520
of unused footage.
Yeah.
157
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,159
Of the two of them.
He just keeps it on the hard
158
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:45,520
drive at home.
You know what?
159
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,360
It was a.
Little part over it just says B
160
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,800
+ E and it has a little.
Little heart on it Little.
161
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Heart on it.
But that would be such an
162
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,000
interesting thing.
I so it'd be so interesting.
163
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,920
And am I smashing my blurbos
together?
164
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,680
Of course I am.
This is what Blurbos do.
165
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,440
This is the point.
I maintain that Eddie would not
166
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,800
have married Shannon had it not
been for Christopher.
167
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640
Correct.
That's not like his greatest
168
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,680
love.
No, no, literally as someone who
169
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:15,880
has been in love in before in
their life, never once does it
170
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,120
feel like you're drowning in
melted chocolate.
171
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,240
Yes.
Never once.
172
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,240
That's the sign you need to get
divorced.
173
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,280
That's the sign.
What is it he says when they're
174
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,520
sitting around a table with like
hen and he's like, I feel like
175
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,560
I'm performing.
Yeah.
176
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,400
Are you budding?
Feels like a performance.
177
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,440
Yeah, OK.
A little special friend there.
178
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Does it bud?
Does it?
179
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,240
Does it?
Does it's?
180
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,480
Not something Buck has ever
said.
181
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,080
No.
And you know, you watched
182
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,280
Chimney and Maddie fall in love,
you watched Bobby and Athena
183
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,440
fall in love and none of this,
none of this feels fake or acted
184
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,000
or not.
Huh.
185
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Huh.
Odd.
186
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,240
How about that?
So.
187
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,400
Weird.
How about that?
188
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,920
And I mean, we can go on for an
eternity, an eon an epoch of,
189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,600
you know, is Eddie straight?
Does it matter?
190
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,840
Does it matter if he's gay?
Does it matter if he's just not
191
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,120
straight?
Does it matter all the little
192
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,600
different flavors and shades
that queerness can take on?
193
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,400
I mean.
It doesn't.
194
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,760
It doesn't matter if they've
been doing it on purpose.
195
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Exactly.
It does matter if we're doing it
196
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,480
on purpose, but if this is just
how they're writing him and his
197
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,520
clearness is inherent, then we
get to kind of figure it out
198
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,360
because it changes.
Of course it does.
199
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,440
That's how that's that's how it
works.
200
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,600
You get new information and then
you make a new judgement based
201
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,760
on the new information.
Do I like men?
202
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Huh.
I don't really know.
203
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,240
No, probably, do I?
Then I get this particular man
204
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,720
in front of me going like yes.
Yes.
205
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,560
Do I like?
One man do I like one man?
206
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Yes, I do like oh, OK, and then
maybe this has I kind of have to
207
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,840
figure it out.
Well, I didn't like him last
208
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,600
season, but I like him this
season.
209
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,640
I wonder what changed Like I
just I need I need somebody to
210
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,000
go through it with him because
it is he is just a struggle
211
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,520
lesson.
Well, guys.
212
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,040
Eddie Diaz has never had a good
day.
213
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,280
Never once.
Which is the children's book I'm
214
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,520
going to write.
Eddie Diaz and the always,
215
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,240
always, always awful, terrible
day.
216
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,000
Yeah, no good.
Very bad day.
217
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Poor guy.
Which is why this pre call, we
218
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,640
were talking about squics.
It's not a it's not a squig.
219
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,680
It's a what?
I don't think it falls under
220
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:40,800
squig.
It falls under what are we
221
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,840
doing?
Yeah, this this obsession the
222
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,640
current fandom has with near
death experiences from both Buck
223
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,240
and Eddie.
Like they've had them.
224
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,800
Let them live.
Give these people a vacation.
225
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,120
No, I, I know, I know.
You want them both to die twice
226
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,560
a day.
I would like these two to go on
227
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:06,520
a lovely Lake Tahoe vacation.
I would like them to have bubble
228
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,000
baths and saunas and massages
and some like champagne and
229
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
strawberries and to have a
beautiful little vacation and
230
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,160
everyone else is like, fucking
kill them with trees.
231
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,160
Like what is happening?
They've died twice each.
232
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,760
What are we doing?
I haven't learned their lesson
233
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,720
yet, Emily.
Literally like 90% of the fam is
234
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,240
like fucking drop anvils on
their heads like give.
235
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,280
Them, you know, if they would
just, if they would just learn
236
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,440
their lessons, we wouldn't have
to do this.
237
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,800
Every time I see NDE in a post
I'm like what are we?
238
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,680
Stop it.
Let them live and kill
239
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,600
Christopher while we're at it.
Like stop no.
240
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Oh my.
God, leave them alone.
241
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,200
Yeah.
OK, You guys kill them.
242
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,160
I'm gonna send them to Vail like
you.
243
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,240
Should send them to Vail.
Everyone else is like, I'm gonna
244
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,160
break their legs and do blood
transfusions in the fields and
245
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,600
I'm gonna send them to little
cabins in the woods and.
246
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,080
I am going to have Buck and
Christopher doing blood
247
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,480
transfusions in the field while
Eddie is helpless on the phone
248
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,120
and.
No, me, I'm sending them to
249
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Christmas tree farms and
everyone else is trying to
250
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,120
murder them in the streets.
Jesus Christ.
251
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,600
We could have, we we could, we
could do two things, OK.
252
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Apparently the dichotomy that's
happening is like, what?
253
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,480
When did everyone decide that
these men needed to die again?
254
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,600
Well, OK, I imagine that it's
like kind of directly
255
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,360
proportional to what's happening
to them right now in Canon.
256
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,680
It was like, I'm comparing it,
you know, as I do all things in
257
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:41,960
my head to Teen Wolf.
And by the end of the series,
258
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,240
like, we don't want Derek to
suffer anymore.
259
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,560
He has suffered enough.
And so a lot of fick has him
260
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,240
going to therapy and talking to
the betas and, like, being, you
261
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,720
know, healed in the ways that he
can.
262
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,560
And then once he does that, then
he gets the styles and
263
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,360
everything is fine.
But like, the worst thing that
264
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,520
happened to Buck this season was
he got a new boss who doesn't
265
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:05,360
like him all that much, and he
got dumped.
266
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,880
Yeah, because he's already died
twice.
267
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,360
Exactly.
And so.
268
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,640
He doesn't need to die every
season.
269
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,600
He.
Doesn't.
270
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:18,120
But I'm saying that I imagine in
the times where in fannin or I
271
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,440
guess in fandom, when he's
getting struck by lightning or
272
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,400
choking on bread or, you know.
Talking about something that had
273
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,760
no lasting impact was his throat
was literally cut open on The
274
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,000
Dirty floor with a dirty knife
and he doesn't have a scar.
275
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,280
Man but like when bad things are
happening to him in Canon, I
276
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,240
imagine that fan is nicer to
him.
277
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,080
But by the scale of things on
the curve, he's had a really
278
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:52,000
nice season 8 and so fandom has
to be a little meaner to him
279
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,560
now.
It's a it's a give and take.
280
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,840
It's a give and take.
I will take him to a lovely
281
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,480
little vacation.
I'll take him to the Blueberry
282
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,720
Inn in Vermont.
I just read a little Christmas
283
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,960
fic where he's the Baker in a
like a little small Christmas.
284
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,920
I read that too.
It needed to be 90,000 more
285
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,040
words.
Correct.
286
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,400
It was beautiful.
Did I send that to you?
287
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,760
You did.
Good, I should have.
288
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,120
It was beautiful.
You did.
289
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,760
But he's just like he's that.
That's the soft life for him and
290
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,160
that's good.
But I need, I need to, I need it
291
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,160
to balance out.
It's the salt and the sugar.
292
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,480
I need the sea salt and the
caramel.
293
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,600
I need them both.
And I imagine that both Eddie
294
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,080
and Buck are going to have a
very bad time in AB.
295
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,720
And so like, maybe, maybe fandom
will be nicer.
296
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,640
Every character on this show has
died.
297
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,840
They've got to start hurting
other people.
298
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,840
There are no other people to
hurt there.
299
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,120
Are though there are the the
incidences there are the the
300
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,520
calls, right?
Like this is the my Grey's
301
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880
Anatomy problem.
Like stop and that's the
302
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,920
problem.
Stop hurting the characters.
303
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,400
They can have other problems.
You don't have to murder them.
304
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,240
They.
Can one of them was murdered.
305
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,080
They can have emotional
problems, you don't actually
306
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,400
have to put them in blenders.
Yeah, but it has to be the
307
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,800
threat of the blender, you know?
They're literal firefighters.
308
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,480
The threat is always there.
Yes, but in order for the emo
309
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,000
dropping.
Fire trucks on them doesn't
310
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,600
literally have to happen, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
311
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,600
no.
If you're going to do the
312
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,760
emotional drama, it can't just
be like, oh, he went into the
313
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,840
fire to save a person.
Like, of course he did.
314
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,880
That's his fucking job.
I was there.
315
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,000
I'm always there.
We're together all the time, but
316
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,480
it's, hey, this little kid looks
exactly like your son, who I
317
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,240
have really strong paternal
feelings towards.
318
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,520
And I had to make a choice in
that moment between you and this
319
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,200
kid, and it fucked me up.
Yes, that is.
320
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,320
The kind of like, that's the
kind of shit I need.
321
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,000
Yes, absolutely.
And if they don't want to do
322
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,160
that, then I'm going to put
these men in situations.
323
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,880
But they should do that
situation.
324
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,359
They should, they can.
They can fuck Eddie up
325
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,000
emotionally until he actually
goes back to therapy and deals
326
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,319
with his shit.
Until they talk about all the
327
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,920
times they try to die.
They these people would be
328
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,440
medically discharged so fast, so
fast.
329
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,119
Oh my.
God.
330
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:23,560
Metal in his leg He's out.
Chimney had rebarred through his
331
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,319
skull.
He's out.
332
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:25,800
I looked it up.
They're out.
333
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:29,040
They're done.
Because accuracy and fick is
334
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:29,920
paramount.
They're out.
335
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,040
Would Hen and Eddie still be
still be like valid?
336
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,160
Yeah, they're still good.
Yeah, unless, unless something
337
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,680
happened with, well, I'm not
sure about Hen having hit
338
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,520
someone with her truck for the
legal reasons, but.
339
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,680
Yeah, but they, they, they, they
manifested that away.
340
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,160
It was cool.
Medically, I'm not entirely sure
341
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,920
because it doesn't look Hen I
think is fine.
342
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,840
Medically, Eddie, I'm not
entirely sure because that
343
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,120
motherfucker doesn't seem to
have gone to rehab for his
344
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,240
shoulder and I don't know what
his range of motion is like with
345
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,120
his shoulder.
Hasn't he now been shot in both
346
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:06,720
shoulders?
Yes, yes, canonically he has
347
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,480
been shot through both
shoulders, which it's not clear
348
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,160
when you look at the footage
from the helicopter because it's
349
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,080
so fucking dark and like jittery
because God forbid TV shows and
350
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,160
movies give us well lit scenes.
But yeah, he gets shot through
351
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,720
both shoulders and his hand,
which somehow he doesn't lose
352
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,520
fingers to.
I don't.
353
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,400
I don't.
Yeah, he doesn't seem to go to
354
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,000
rehab for either incident, so
his range of motion should be
355
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,560
shot.
Yeah, and then Hen's just been
356
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,680
shot the one time, but it's an
old injury.
357
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,800
She's fine.
That's an old injury.
358
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,200
I think she's probably OK.
But Eddie, I would actually
359
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,720
worry about that.
His range of motion would affect
360
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,840
his ability to do the job to the
standard of the fire department.
361
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,560
Right to carry to.
Carry.
362
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720
Those, yeah.
Because.
363
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Maybe, maybe, maybe they just
need to get a whole new crew
364
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,960
'cause their crew is too beat
up.
365
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,880
Everyone else is like oh the
118's on the job and the rest of
366
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,800
the crew is like Oh no.
No.
367
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,680
They can't.
Oh.
368
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,480
No, Oh, no, no.
It's really interesting the the.
369
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,200
Emotional destruction is great
because then the actors get to
370
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,520
do fun crying and they get their
little pretty faces all emotive
371
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,520
and and Ryan Guzman gets his
little quiver E little twisty
372
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,720
face thing that he gets done.
His twisty face when he's trying
373
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,600
not to cry, and maybe if he's
trying not to break, I don't
374
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,200
know.
Because behind him, Oliver Stark
375
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,720
is like making weird faces.
Like he's.
376
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,760
That the whole cast is just like
making fun, but he's got this
377
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,480
like twisty face where he like
twists his mouth together.
378
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,480
And while it I'm trying to like,
you know, be nice about it,
379
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,440
while it very well may be that
the actor just try not to break
380
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,160
and it's, you know, it works for
the scene.
381
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:59,360
It crushes me every time.
Yeah, I love the beautiful men
382
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:02,720
who cry.
Even more than the tears, it's
383
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,160
him.
It's Eddie saying like I, I'm
384
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,200
the emotions are here and I'm
going to beat them back with a
385
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,640
stick.
It is particularly prevalent to
386
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:19,880
me in in season 6 do more
because his entire mouth is just
387
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,920
like twisting and twerking
trying.
388
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,280
Is he trying to break?
I don't know, but in my little
389
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,840
heart he is trying not to just
openly break and sob do.
390
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,280
You know what's nice about it
too, is like, he's, I guess you
391
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,760
can't actually say anyone is
objectively beautiful because
392
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,960
beauty is a standard across all
different cultures.
393
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,000
So, like, I can't really say
he's objectively beautiful, but
394
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,320
like, but he's not.
It's nice that men are allowed
395
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,840
to ugly cry.
Yeah.
396
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,120
And I wish women were allowed to
ugly cry.
397
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,600
Correct.
Because like, I don't know, my
398
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,800
one eye like closes completely
when I cry because there's like
399
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,480
a weird nerve thing that
happens.
400
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,800
But like, it's nice that he is
allowed to have like the runny
401
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:09,440
nose and the red face and like
it's not a one single solitary
402
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,840
tear politely running down his
cheek.
403
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:13,320
Yeah, because like.
All.
404
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,400
I think all of them have been
allowed to pretty, to be to
405
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,760
pretty cry.
Yeah, but then there's also
406
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,440
Buck.
Like screaming open mouthed
407
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,840
snotty when he was under the
well.
408
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:27,760
That.
Hurts.
409
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,040
They've also gotten ugly crying.
I appreciate that.
410
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
411
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,440
I'm gonna need a heterosexual
explanation for that.
412
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,280
I'm gonna need one.
There literally isn't 1 and we
413
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,520
shouldn't pretend otherwise.
I.
414
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,360
Have so many questions and none
of them can be answered.
415
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,200
Also Eddie checking out Buck's
ass in that one scene.
416
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:48,160
Yes, you're welcome.
I was.
417
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,320
I was going through stuff and
just giffing and I was like,
418
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,720
hold on a minute.
And it's not like Buck is
419
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,320
packing a lot back there.
I mean, it's taken Oliver Stark
420
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,400
a little while to like, round
anything out 'cause he skips
421
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,280
like.
That hard muscle to work OK,
422
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,200
it's very well.
Especially when you skip leg day
423
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,840
to only build up the top.
Now Guzman is all ass.
424
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,680
It's true.
Lucky him.
425
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,560
Yeah, but no, I just, I, I, I
have so many questions.
426
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,200
I have so many questions.
Like, don't get me wrong, Fire
427
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Marshall Buck is in fact, you
know, a very good.
428
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,080
That's that's a hot one.
It's a good one.
429
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:25,480
It's a good one.
I love being there with a
430
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,280
clipboard.
I do.
431
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,440
But boy, Eddie, do I have some
questions for you?
432
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:33,480
Listen, he was a soldier.
He is good at taking orders.
433
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,960
Yeah, we're going to have a lot
of conversations about that one
434
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,640
right there, talking about
living in the multiverse, like
435
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,040
soldier, soldier.
I mean like yes, like let's do
436
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,280
the.
Can't be in the army.
437
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,920
He failed out.
He failed out of the SEAL
438
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,520
training.
He did fail out of seals, but
439
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,160
there are fixing which he
doesn't fail out of seals, so
440
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,160
that's always fun.
But no, just the way that so
441
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720
many things can be true all at
the same time.
442
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,160
Now, fandom, this fandom in
particular, the little buddy
443
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,840
nugget of 911, feels very
strongly about stuff.
444
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,600
They sure do.
They feel real strongly about
445
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,720
stuff.
But that's one of the best parts
446
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,480
of fandom is that like, in a
moment, anything can be true,
447
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,280
and it doesn't have to hold true
from day-to-day until Canon says
448
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,200
otherwise.
So it's like, are you deeply
449
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,480
attached to sub Eddie because he
his entire life has been about
450
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,640
taking orders and it's where he
feels most comfortable.
451
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,120
Like fantastic.
Tomorrow are you going to wake
452
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,640
up and talk about brat tamer
Eddie?
453
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,480
Because he only after taking
orders for so long, he's
454
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,560
desperate to feel in control of,
you know, anything that he finds
455
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,720
whatever.
Like those, those things can all
456
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,600
be true from day-to-day and it's
fine.
457
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,360
And it's like, we've got to
reintroduce Squick to the
458
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,560
fandom.
We just have to.
459
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Squick is the most delightful
way of describing a thing that
460
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,400
you personally don't like.
Not that it's bad, not that it's
461
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,960
wrong, not that even you won't
touch it, but just that you're
462
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,160
like, no.
It's just not for me.
463
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,160
Just not for me.
And the best part about it is
464
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,280
you don't have to even tell
people you don't like it.
465
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,960
You keep that shift to yourself.
Unless it's like your BFFI can
466
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,040
tell Allison that I don't like
something and it's fine.
467
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,680
Yeah, we had a fight about it a
few days ago and now we're here.
468
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,960
Yeah, so.
'Cause it's not actually in a
469
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,280
fight, it's just me going no
thank you.
470
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,920
Yeah, and it's me reminding not,
and it's me politely reminding
471
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,800
you to use your tag blocker and
me a little bit apologizing for
472
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,120
all this stuff in my queue right
now.
473
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,000
That's what the tag blocker is
for.
474
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,320
It's mostly the tag blocker is.
For.
475
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,360
It's mostly that I just forgot
to set the tag blocker and I was
476
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:49,720
like what the fuck is all this?
Oh right, that was me.
477
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,320
Oh, right.
It's about the things that, you
478
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,000
know, there's so much morality
in Phantom right now about like,
479
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,920
this is good, this is capital G
good, this is capital B bad.
480
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,560
And it's just about it's not
good or bad.
481
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,480
It's it's in fact morally
neutral.
482
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,760
They are fictional characters.
Let it ride.
483
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,360
Do we have to have more nuanced
conversations about RPFA little
484
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,640
bit?
Keep it off the streets.
485
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,840
Keep it off the streets, keep it
off the streets.
486
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,640
And that's a slightly more,
that's a, that's a level up in
487
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,800
content and content creation.
It's a level up.
488
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,040
You got to be willing and able
to have more nuanced
489
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,120
conversations and have more
nuanced boundaries and, you
490
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:39,440
know, keep it off the streets.
But like if you like, I love,
491
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,640
for example, Eddie calling Buck
sweetheart.
492
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,000
I love that shit.
I love that shit.
493
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,280
And I have a friend who doesn't
that just like it squeaks her
494
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,040
and that's OK, That's OK.
It's I'm not the friend, it's
495
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:55,760
not me.
I don't care.
496
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,040
It's somebody else.
But we love, we love a squeak
497
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,600
because everyone should be
allowed to play in their own
498
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,880
sandbox with their own toys.
And if you don't want to play,
499
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,880
then that's OK and you can just
walk away.
500
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,560
It's too easy to.
Close the tab.
501
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,280
So easy, so easy.
And it's not your job to police
502
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,040
someone else's like kinks go
away.
503
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,160
Yeah, stop it.
Also, just a general please be
504
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,920
nice if ever you're in
somebody's bookmarks, be fucking
505
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,440
nice about it.
Oh yeah.
506
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,440
Be fucking nice.
I feel like we have this
507
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,520
conversation every couple of
years, right?
508
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:39,840
Like a fandom pops up, it's
populated with a younger crowd.
509
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,560
A new group.
Learning how to navigate fandom
510
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:49,920
because we started in the
Trekkie days and beyond and now
511
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,240
those women are tired of all of
us and don't have.
512
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,480
They're just, they're done.
And it's a process of educating
513
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,960
and getting used to how to
behave in a space.
514
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,960
And unfortunately, social media
platforms like Twitter are not
515
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,640
the best space to learn how to
operate in a system.
516
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,120
Nope.
They're just not, especially
517
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:14,440
when they're full of trolls who
are just out there acting up
518
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,120
because they can.
Don't do that.
519
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,440
Also, the number one rule of
Internet is don't feed the
520
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,680
trolls.
I know it's hard.
521
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,680
Don't feed the trolls.
Don't do it.
522
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,320
Block delete, move on.
But like, that's the joy of a
523
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,760
Squick is like you like
something great, love it, and if
524
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,360
your best friend doesn't like
it, who cares?
525
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,040
Who cares?
It's not your job to make them
526
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,600
happy unless you are actively
writing them a fic that they
527
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,880
asked for or didn't ask for.
If you are actively being like,
528
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,800
hey, I'm going to gift you this
thing, then that's the one time
529
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,280
where you're trying to make them
happy.
530
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,680
Hi Emily, I'm going to write
this thing that I know that you
531
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,280
hate and I'm just going to send
it right to you.
532
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Yeah.
Hey, you know that pairing that
533
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,400
is of important to you.
I'm going to write it for you.
534
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,000
It's for you that that's not
what we're doing here, but it's
535
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
me.
Any any other situation.
536
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,520
If you're going into someone's
blog and it has like the the
537
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,960
headline is a pairing you don't
like, you walk away.
538
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,360
You don't go to them and say
like, Hey, that's gross.
539
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:16,960
You shouldn't ship that.
That's on you to walk away.
540
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,560
That's why this whole tag of
like do not interact.
541
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,400
That's I don't fuck with that.
That's no what?
542
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040
What is this?
It's your job to curate your
543
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,960
experience on the Internet.
Yes, it is your job to curate
544
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,320
your experience on the Internet,
not anyone else's.
545
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,600
It's no one else's business to
make you comfortable in a in in
546
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,400
a fandom like this anyway.
So you'll get older.
547
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,040
You'll figure it out.
Yeah, you just get older.
548
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,160
It's fine.
Speaking of things that are way
549
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,440
too serious and are going to
make us cry, does Bobby Nash
550
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,960
deserve his new family?
This is a topic we've been
551
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,320
sitting on of like, hey, we
should talk about this.
552
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,400
How do we talk about this?
We'll just do it.
553
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,240
So like, OK, for for some
context, for like 1000 years of
554
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,920
context, these are all fucking
fictional characters.
555
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,640
Hold, hold your horsies.
Hold your ponies.
556
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,760
Bobby Nash is not a real person.
Bobby Nash is not a real person.
557
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,320
The people who died 100.
And 48 people who died of the
558
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,480
fire.
Neither are Athena Grant, his
559
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,320
kiddos.
OK, Not real.
560
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,720
None of them are real.
This is a this is a
561
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,720
philosophical exercise.
OK, guys.
562
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Not, not real.
This has been bothering me since
563
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,800
the beginning of this show.
Bobby Nash and and it's no
564
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,760
judgement on someone who suffers
alcoholism and and addiction,
565
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:35,640
right?
Right.
566
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:42,480
But he did 'cause the deaths of
148 people and and it's like it
567
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,200
doesn't matter somehow in this
show.
568
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,880
That his like moral fiber
elsewhere kind of, you know,
569
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,120
squeaks like scrubbed his
record.
570
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,080
And I think that's one of the
interesting things about Bobby
571
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,320
is that he spends at least the
first season and a solid chunk
572
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,440
of the rest of the show in
penance for it.
573
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,800
Like especially in season 1, he
spends it very clearly in
574
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,480
penance for it.
But like, is that ever something
575
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,200
that you can can make up for?
Will he ever finish?
576
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:18,920
I don't know because he doesn't
he so there is an investigation
577
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,240
into the fire and he is
exonerated because it's deemed
578
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640
the fire to be an accident.
And it.
579
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,240
Was sure.
And also.
580
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:35,080
And also is there no
accountability like I guess
581
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,600
that's the letter of the law is
like you can't be charged with a
582
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,240
crime this for being drunk, I
guess as.
583
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,880
As as you look, as you kind of
like look at the different
584
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,960
levels of accountability.
So there's his job
585
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,960
accountability and his like fire
captain chief basically says
586
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,480
like you can't stay here, but.
Yeah.
587
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,720
I'll move, you can see.
You can go across the country
588
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,040
and be in charge of these broken
people over here.
589
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,520
Over here.
So there's that part and like
590
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,320
was that kind of fishy?
Yes, it's.
591
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,560
Concealed, right?
They concealed what happened so
592
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,680
he could join the LAFD.
Which then comes back to bite
593
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,840
him in a few seasons.
It doesn't it come and you
594
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,520
haven't gotten there yet, but it
comes up again.
595
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,920
I got there the first time when
the LAFD UN uncover.
596
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,960
No, no, no, like there's another
character coming.
597
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,920
Oh cool, in in later season.
And I don't remember if it's
598
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,640
seven or I think it's 7.
Cool.
599
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,560
But I haven't gotten there yet.
And then there's like the police
600
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,880
investigation and I guess by the
letter of the law, I think
601
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:43,000
you're right that the, the fire
was started by a, by a like a
602
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
little, you know.
Faulty mechanism.
603
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Yeah, that it overheated and it
didn't auto shut off or
604
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,000
whatever.
So like in theory, if that, if
605
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,480
that space heater had been
upstairs in Brooke and Bobby's
606
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,640
room and they were asleep, mm
hmm.
607
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,920
It would have happened the same
way.
608
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:06,200
Yeah, I, yes, I think I feel
like this was a lot for and at
609
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,080
this point, what is this going
to season 1?
610
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,800
So it's still Ryan Murphy kind
of involved with Tim.
611
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,200
This is a lot to put on a
character that's going to be one
612
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,040
of your leads.
Throughout the show, this is
613
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,240
true.
And if it had just been his wife
614
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,080
and kids, I think that sucks and
it's awful and it's a huge
615
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,480
burden.
You get your Catholic guilt, you
616
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:31,200
get their deaths, you get
penance, but you don't have 148
617
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,080
other lives behind it.
And I think it's that those
618
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,120
extra deaths that you're like,
that's a lot for this man to be
619
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,160
carrying that I have a hard time
forgetting about.
620
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,280
Yeah.
And then they just.
621
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,800
Even after eight seasons, yeah.
Yeah, it's just, it's, it's a
622
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,240
really interesting question.
And then because it isn't just
623
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,760
about his family, it's about the
entire building and kind of the
624
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:01,080
the path there.
And then what has happened is
625
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,560
about, you know, by the end of
season.
626
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,880
God, wait, end of season 1,
middle of season 2, Bobby's just
627
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,360
manifested a new family.
And I get it, you do it for the
628
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,800
plot.
But like, at what point does
629
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,760
Bobby get to forgive himself?
Does he get to move on?
630
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,040
And does he do it?
Yeah.
631
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,080
I just, it's a really
interesting question and I don't
632
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,160
know.
I don't love mom and Dad.
633
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,560
Of course I do.
Like Yeah, I do too.
634
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Athena.
I love them.
635
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,360
I love them too.
And you?
636
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,360
Know he carries a lot of guilt
when when Michael is still, you
637
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,440
know, struggling to be part of
the family and not be part of
638
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,480
the family.
And when May is like, you're my
639
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,520
dad too.
And he's like, but I lost my
640
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,200
kids and.
And you're like, yeah.
641
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,840
But you should feel guilty.
You should like feel guilty
642
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,960
about that.
You really?
643
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,800
Should and I just, I, I wonder
if that was like a good choice
644
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,920
on in the, in the development of
the show to be like, you killed
645
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:03,160
your family and also 148 other
people and now you get to be
646
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,120
captain of a fire department.
And, and part of it, you know, I
647
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,960
think they tried to soothe it
with when they figured out his
648
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,400
blood had that factor in it that
could save the lives of babies
649
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,840
that they haven't brought up
ever again.
650
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,800
Right.
It's not like we see him.
651
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,679
You could so easily have him
walking in like, sorry I'm late.
652
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:21,000
It took extra time at the
hospital donating blood this
653
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,360
month.
Yeah, right.
654
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,400
Are they are they just like
Henrietta laxing his blood that
655
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,080
just repopulates itself?
Like what are they doing with
656
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,360
his blood?
Surely he has to keep donating
657
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:32,920
because the other guy, they were
like, oh, yeah, this guy comes
658
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,719
in and he donates all the time
and now it's your job.
659
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,000
Like, surprise.
That shit bothers me a lot in TV
660
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,679
shows, and I know they can't.
This is why we can't be TV
661
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,520
writers, right?
Like, no, This is why we
662
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:43,760
produced.
I didn't write.
663
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,679
Is that I get too bogged down in
the weeds of fucking Buck has to
664
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:49,719
go to rehab, OK?
We have to see him.
665
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,360
I want to see it.
I want to see it hurt.
666
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,239
Everybody has to go to rehab,
everybody.
667
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,120
They all they do, they're all
broken.
668
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,040
I want we talked about this
before.
669
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,680
I want to see the ice baths that
you know they're taking.
670
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,880
As I googled it, I have been on
firefighter Reddit like.
671
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,280
Because somebody researches a
lot for her fic.
672
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,080
I do the there's there's more
pages in the notes than there is
673
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,280
in the fic and.
There's a lot of pages of fic,
674
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,280
let me tell you.
I I want to see them do the ice
675
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,480
pads because they hurt after a
48 hour shift right carrying
676
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,560
hoses and 100 lbs of gear
because that it lends a realness
677
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,200
to combat a fucking B NATO.
Oh, the B NATO.
678
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,320
I loved the B NATO.
So you have the realism of an
679
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:41,440
alcoholic doing the work of his
steps, which we see in detail
680
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,680
with Bobby.
And he goes to his his his
681
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,640
classes, his meetings, and he
does the work and he does the
682
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,040
steps And it really, the writers
really seem to care about this
683
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,800
work for Bobby.
And then it just kind of like
684
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,920
disappears when it's not needed.
But like, why not have him?
685
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,920
Why not see his chips get.
I don't think they get bigger.
686
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,000
I just think you get new chips.
Yeah, Like, why not see them on
687
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,720
the desk?
Like you're 90 day, you're
688
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:07,360
Hunter, your three-year chip,
your four year chip.
689
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,680
Like, why not just see it?
It doesn't have to be a big
690
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,960
deal.
Especially because he's not
691
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,960
keeping it a secret anymore and
everybody knows.
692
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Yeah.
And so I one of the things,
693
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaking of Bobby Nash and I
don't know if we'll ever get to
694
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,120
an answer on this question just
for you and me and the
695
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,080
listeners.
But one of the things I love
696
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,680
about Bobby is how, especially
in this climate, in the place
697
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,320
that we are in time, how this
show can simultaneously be so
698
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:40,040
like Christian, Catholic, Jesus
Church and so queer at the same
699
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,920
time.
And I just really appreciate
700
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,680
that about about Bobby and about
Athena and just the show at
701
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,200
large, that they're the two of
them are so solid and secure in
702
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:58,640
their faith and that it, it
impacts them not at all with
703
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:03,640
things with their relationships
with their queer characters and
704
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:09,440
their their other folks.
And I just, you know, I think
705
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,320
it's in season 2.
I guess we get that when
706
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:17,200
Maddie's on the ride along, we
get that like kind of protester,
707
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,280
that web Westboro Baptist kind
of protester.
708
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,360
And so you, you very clearly see
that like that kind of bigotry
709
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,640
is still well and alive and
good.
710
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,560
But in our house, those two
things can live together.
711
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,080
Yep.
And I just think that's neat.
712
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,800
It is neat.
And I hope at some point that
713
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,680
Eddie gets to talk to Bobby and
Athena about how do you smush
714
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:48,880
Jesus and Gay in the same brain,
how do you do it 'cause I think
715
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,080
they could have a very
interesting conversation, the
716
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,280
three of them.
Well, he's gonna have to go back
717
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,480
to Hot Priest.
I mean, obviously.
718
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,080
And be like, I'm so sorry.
You're right.
719
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,640
That seat was was open.
Yeah, that seat was open and I
720
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,560
did want the juice and also.
Yeah, and I want the juice.
721
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,440
I want the juice.
Got me feeling loose.
722
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,480
Get it?
I don't know if Bobby deserves
723
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,480
to be happy.
I mean, it's ATV show, right?
724
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,480
Like they're not going to.
I just, I don't know, like, so
725
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,240
it's for me, it's this whole
thing about he does the penance
726
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,960
for, for the fire.
That's what we see.
727
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,240
He we see him, you know, going
through his 12 steps and we see
728
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,680
him at the meetings and we see
him talking about his experience
729
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,040
and we see him talking about
that.
730
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,120
But I don't know what kind of is
he putting in the same work for
731
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,240
his family.
Yeah.
732
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,920
Like, I think what I'd like to
see somewhere along the line,
733
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,320
and not that we don't, not that
we haven't gotten glimpses of
734
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,000
it.
Let me tell you, when Shannon
735
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,200
dies and Eddie comes in after
her, like after they've called
736
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,960
her and he just collapses into
Bobby's arms because Bobby is
737
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,840
the only person in his whole
life who will understand
738
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,440
intimately what's going on with
his life right now breaks me
739
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,440
every time.
But like, I need to see Bobby
740
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,440
talking specifically about
losing his family.
741
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,760
Like, I need to see him work
through it.
742
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,760
I need to see him work through
it with Athena.
743
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,320
Like I walk into this house, the
one that you and I, you know,
744
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,080
designed and built and the
family that we built together,
745
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,200
and I see Marcie.
I walk into the room and I see
746
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,840
her.
I see May, but I hear Brooks
747
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,440
laugh.
Like I, I just, I need them to
748
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,040
have that conversation that
they're, that the ghosts are
749
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,600
still there.
Yeah.
750
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,960
Well, I think the problem is I
think the show is living on
751
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,000
that.
He's good.
752
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,640
I think the show he's.
Like morally good or that he's
753
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:56,920
like cool with the dying?
That he's like not healed, but
754
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,320
that he is in a, in a place of
being healed, yeah.
755
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,320
Maybe.
I think the show is now like he
756
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,680
has come to a place of being
healed about it.
757
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Yeah.
Peace.
758
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,480
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
759
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,520
I don't know.
I just, I, it's a, it's a
760
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,080
question I still have.
Like does are you telling me
761
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,200
really that Bobby never sees
pieces of Marcy and Athena?
762
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,320
That Eddie will never see pieces
of Shannon.
763
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,760
That Hen never sees pieces of
Eva.
764
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,400
God I hope not, fuck her.
Yeah, well, fuck her.
765
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,040
But also like because Karen a
couple episodes ago just had her
766
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,960
break and I'm like, I see Eva
everywhere and I'm like, I know
767
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,760
you do, baby.
You don't deserve that.
768
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,120
I know.
Be nice to the Wilsons.
769
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,280
Be nice to the Wilsons.
Oh be nice to the Wilsons, but
770
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,280
murder Buck and Eddie every
episode.
771
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,080
Yes, every episode would be nice
in the Wilsons, but fuck the
772
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,400
Buckley Diaz.
OK, I see.
773
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,360
I see how it is.
I'm sorry, do you want me to put
774
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,080
Hen and Karen in situations?
Because I don't enjoy putting
775
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,760
them in situations.
But.
776
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,320
How are they any different?
Why?
777
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,120
Why do we get to murder my boys?
But the the Wilsons are like,
778
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,080
no, they're good.
I want to read about Hen and
779
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,640
Karen being soft and warm and
why.
780
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Why them?
Why don't we drop fire trucks on
781
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,280
Buck and we're like no, the hen
and Hen and Karen get to have a
782
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,880
lovely day at the spa.
We.
783
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:27,440
Can't do it.
No, if we're murdering my boys,
784
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,600
they're getting it too.
We're taking those kids and
785
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,640
we're throwing them off bridges.
Fine.
786
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,280
I'm sad but fine.
Can't be nice to one and not the
787
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:44,400
other, no If I have to see one
more fucking Foster fail
788
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,120
storyline.
Oh no, no, I will.
789
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,800
Turn the TV off.
I'm so sick of it.
790
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,880
I'm sick of it.
Let them have their kids and be
791
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,920
done.
I'm tired, I'm so tired.
792
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,320
I.
Just yeah, I, I, I feel like
793
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,640
we're getting kind of, not to
like the Glee problem, but in
794
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,880
the way that Glee only figured
out relationship problems by
795
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,560
cheating.
Yes.
796
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,240
We need to figure out other ways
of like drama that isn't near
797
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:13,040
death experiences.
Oh.
798
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,200
I don't know, like money maybe?
Oh.
799
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,840
My God.
Yes, 'cause let me tell you,
800
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,640
those firefighters are not
making money.
801
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,080
And now how many fucking
children do the Wilson like how
802
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,360
much money They have two.
Oh, that's right.
803
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,280
They they have two now.
OK, yeah, OK.
804
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,160
But they're still they're
raising two children in Los
805
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,320
Angeles.
Hen is a firefighter.
806
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,920
What does Karen even do now?
Does part time job at the lab,
807
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,280
but the lab blew up.
What is she doing?
808
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,680
I don't know.
She a stay at home mom now?
809
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,920
Like what is her job?
They don't have any money.
810
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:45,160
That could be their problem that
they're paying a a mortgage and
811
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,600
all these fucking bills for
medical expenses.
812
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,120
Like, I don't know.
Yeah, like, you know, get the
813
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:57,880
get the Buckley Hans and the
Grant Nashes and the Wilsons and
814
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,840
then just the Diaz's, but with
Buckley, kind of like, what are
815
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,320
we doing over here?
These people can't afford their
816
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,680
lives.
No, they can't.
817
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,720
They cannot.
I mean, I think Bobby and Athena
818
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,040
are the only ones who can
attempt to afford their lives,
819
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,960
especially now that maid's out
of the house.
820
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,400
But aren't they trying to build
a new house?
821
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,440
Yes, their their house burned
down so they OK?
822
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,400
Well, if they live in Los
Angeles, do they have fire
823
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,240
insurance?
Do they have fire insurance?
824
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:27,560
Not probably anymore in LA.
Probably not, it's probably been
825
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,200
cancelled on them, but it's ATV
show so they probably do have
826
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,480
fire.
Insurance, like with all the
827
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,080
people who are trying to do the
friggin who are like cancelling
828
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:39,080
flood insurance if you live in
the Gulf, Like no, that's that's
829
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,160
the only reason.
Yeah, so let's say, let's say
830
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,840
they still have their fire
insurance, but they're going to
831
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,160
rebuild a house on the land what
they have.
832
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,080
Yeah, but you know how long
insurance claims take?
833
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,800
And the materials post COVID
materials.
834
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,920
Holy shit.
Holy shit, yeah.
835
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,200
Yeah, that's gonna be a couple
$1,000,000.
836
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,440
To read the house.
Easy, easy.
837
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,040
It's not happening.
OK so because I it's now
838
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:10,000
screaming so loud in my head I
can't stop it dear friends.
839
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,240
Countrymen.
Right now, Los Angeles County is
840
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:14,400
on fire.
Yes.
841
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,200
Like, very, very much on fire.
Emily and I both lived in Los
842
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,680
Angeles.
We both worked in Los Angeles,
843
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,000
We went to school in Los
Angeles.
844
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:26,320
And I, I need to tell you from
the bottom of my fucking heart,
845
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,560
do not give the cast grief over
the filming schedule.
846
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:39,200
For the love of God, if there's
any, no, don't, don't do it.
847
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,080
Don't talk about it.
Don't talk to them about it.
848
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,720
Los Angeles right now is on
fire.
849
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,400
Like, leave that shit in your
group chats.
850
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,480
Do not, do not take it to the
streets.
851
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:55,480
There are tons and tons and tons
of resources out there if you
852
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,960
are in Los Angeles, if you are
looking to throw money at Los
853
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:01,640
Angeles, they can use all the
help they can get.
854
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:07,480
But like as fandom, it is our
job to support the programs that
855
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,520
we enjoy, not to get in their
faces about it in the sign in
856
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,640
the times of crisis.
Also, there are hundreds of
857
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,800
people who work on these TV
shows who need those jobs.
858
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,960
It's not the actors who make a
little bit more.
859
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,760
Also, working actors don't make
that much money, but the
860
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,440
hundreds of crew members on the
show need those jobs to survive.
861
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,600
So if they can keep filming
during this, they should.
862
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,400
Like keep it.
I know we joke about keep it off
863
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,560
the streets, but for the like,
keep it off the streets.
864
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,200
Yeah.
OK, we should talk about
865
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,400
something else.
I know we should.
866
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,920
Yes, we can talk about a better
topic than than fire in Los
867
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,600
Angeles, although it has been
like almost an hour, so maybe
868
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,520
that's a good place to end.
No.
869
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,160
These are supposed to be mini
episodes.
870
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,600
I've never been mini about
anything in my life.
871
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,040
We haven't.
We really haven't.
872
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,200
OK, nice things to talk about.
Emily just finished writing a
873
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:03,800
fic.
Oh my God.
874
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,840
Yes, thank you.
It's amazing.
875
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,800
It's so good.
It has been a.
876
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,520
Very long time since I did that,
so thank you.
877
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,320
I'm very, very proud of you.
Thank you.
878
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:17,520
You're writing one too, so I'm
very proud of you as well.
879
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,520
And you have been writing.
I am.
880
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,240
It's 16,000 words right now.
It's a.
881
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,960
Lot of words.
That's a lot of words.
882
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,840
I hope you all enjoy texting.
I hope that's fun for you.
883
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,640
It has been interesting trying
to write that.
884
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Let's let's be real here.
That's been fun.
885
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:38,560
But yeah, so that's exciting.
Writing's hard.
886
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,040
Writing is so hard.
Be nice to your writers.
887
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,400
Be nice to your GIF makers and
your video editors.
888
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,280
Tumblr is the reblog website.
Reblog.
889
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,200
It is the reblog website.
It's not.
890
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,480
It's not Tiktok, it's not
Instagram likes don't matter.
891
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,960
I mean on like AO3 likes are
delightful.
892
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,040
But if it's on, if it's on
Tumblr, like yes, reblogs are
893
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,280
the the way to go.
Kudos are great.
894
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,040
I literally took a comment
e-mail that I got today and I
895
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,760
showed it to my husband and I
got little Kiki feet on the on
896
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,920
the couch.
Like trust me when I tell you
897
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,360
that every comment you leave
like might it might inspire Kiki
898
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,560
feet in an author.
It really does, actually.
899
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,600
It really brightens people's day
to see comments, even if they're
900
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,200
like a heart emoji.
Yeah.
901
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,000
And I'm really bad at leaving
comments.
902
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,840
Like I get secondhand
embarrassment about myself.
903
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,760
Leaving a comment on someone
like this was good but do it
904
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:32,720
anyway.
Like I just.
905
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:34,720
I leave hearts because I get
awkward.
906
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,080
Yeah, but like, be nice to your
content creators.
907
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,560
Create content.
If you made a thing and you're
908
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,240
scared to post it, post the
thing.
909
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:47,560
Tag it appropriately so those of
us who use tag blockers can use
910
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,000
tag blockers.
If we need to look at your
911
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,280
stuff.
But there are people out there
912
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,200
who do want to look at your
stuff, so be brave and punky
913
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,320
anyway.
Yes, exactly all.
914
00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:00,480
Right.
We should get out of here.
915
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,440
It's 53 minutes.
We should, I mean, obviously
916
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:04,600
there's going to be more of
these.
917
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:09,480
If you have questions about 911
that you want us to talk about
918
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,480
or like topics about 911 that
you want us to talk about, like
919
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,600
send them in somehow I don't
like in an Instagram comment or
920
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,960
whatever, we will come back with
another episode and more
921
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,800
questions like fit questions,
episode questions, ship
922
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,840
questions.
I'm sure there are other like
923
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,880
very specific things that will
pop up in an episode.
924
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,720
We're gonna be like, we're gonna
talk about this one specific
925
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:38,680
thing for 36 minutes.
Eddie Eddie Diaz passing out and
926
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,600
having a panic attack.
Yes, at the prospect of being
927
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,720
with a woman.
Eddie Diaz great character or
928
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,480
