Bonus Episode: 9-1-1 Mini Series #7
"Fandom is a participatory event. In one way or the other."
Welcome back to Fandom on the Rocks, where there’s never a plan — only chaos, retcons, and a lot of feelings about 9-1-1.
In this 9-1-1 bonus episode, we dive headfirst into Season 9, the emotional hangover of losing Bobby Nash, and yeah, that was a whale swallowing a billionaire kayaker. From the four-part fever dream of a season opener to Athena’s latest flashback, Emily and Alison pick apart every questionable creative choice, all while mourning the death of stakes and the unfortunate rise of beige set design.
We also talk about what’s happening outside the show: from fans needing to be right, the algorithm turning us into engagement machines, and how fandom only survives if everyone brings something to the potluck — a fic, a gif, or just a little enthusiasm.
Come for the space rant, stay for the fandom therapy — and remember: if you reach the end of a fic, you leave kudos.
xoxo,
Fandom on the Rocks
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:11,350
You're listening to fandom.
On the rocks.
2
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:14,110
There's no plan.
There's never a plan.
3
00:00:14,110 --> 00:00:15,870
Hello.
Welcome back to Phantom on the
4
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:17,070
rocks.
I'm Emily.
5
00:00:17,390 --> 00:00:21,710
And I'm Allison.
And this is another 911 bonus
6
00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:23,630
episode.
It's been a hot minute.
7
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:26,030
It's been a hot minute, and it's
been a hot minute because we've
8
00:00:26,030 --> 00:00:30,630
been on hiatus and because
Season 8, B decided to just
9
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:33,870
punch each and every one of us
in various body parts and, like,
10
00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:38,240
leave us on the ground crying.
So it's been kind of a rough
11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,200
summer.
There were choices made by the
12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,200
creative team.
Choices.
13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,160
Were made.
Choices were made with
14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,680
questionable reasoning behind
it.
15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,800
Spoiler alert if you haven't
seen it.
16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:00,160
Whatever key paw is dead.
P pot is dead and P pot doesn't
17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,680
need to be dead.
The the longer I sit with it,
18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000
really truly the longer I sit
with it.
19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,400
Like either, they were like
keeping their options open for
20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,960
as long as possible.
What?
21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,320
Do you mean or this was like the
funniest?
22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,640
They think this is the funniest
prank ever pulled.
23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,120
Well, say, say more 'cause you
know how I feel about it.
24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,320
Yes no, Emily's Emily's Dobby
forever and I unfortunately am
25
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:32,480
also leaning into into Bobby is
dead forever and ever 'cause
26
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,560
he's dead.
Of course he's dead.
27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,000
Even if he's not dead in my
heart, he's just in France with
28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,960
Erica Reyes and Vernon Boyd and
Alice Sargent.
29
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,560
He's fine there's.
Not one iota of evidence that
30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,120
he's alive.
Absolutely not.
31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,200
There is no canonical evidence
to prove that he's alive.
32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,040
But with the there is.
There is if you choose to see
33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,600
it.
There's a reason that we're than
34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Sparks, that we're the Buck and
Eddie of like our own lives.
35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Because I'm over here going
like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,800
But listen.
And Emily's like, absolutely
37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,960
not.
That's not how evidence works.
38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,120
You don't make it up.
No, you don't make it up, but if
39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,840
you can use the scientific
method and look at the evidence
40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,000
in front of you and then draw a
conclusion from that evidence.
41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,080
You don't make up the evidence.
You don't make up the evidence.
42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,960
The evidence is clear.
It's canonical.
43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,320
It's on the TV screen.
It's just that you and I come to
44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,040
different conclusions.
I'm saying you'll never agree on
45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,280
this, by the way, to your
listener.
46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,280
I'm saying that it there is a
universe in which if the
47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,400
contract negotiations have gone
differently in like if, if
48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,800
whatever happened didn't happen
or happened differently, there
49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,440
was a space carved out for
people to still be alive.
50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Like for them to to not kill him
or them to, you know, put him in
51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,640
a coma or them to do whatever.
Yeah, 'cause he killed Ravi
52
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,080
instead.
In theory, but apparently that
53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,000
was also a lie.
Again, you cannot trust anything
54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240
an actor says during an
interview.
55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,600
True actors are liars.
That's their job.
56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,400
They're they're pathological
liars.
57
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,360
So whatever is said in an
interview, it doesn't matter.
58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,520
Doesn't matter, but I'm saying
that I can see, based on the way
59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,760
the story beats occurred, that
there is a universe in which
60
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
they were trying to keep the
door open as long as possible.
61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,560
What I will allow because it has
happened in the past throughout
62
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,120
TV, movie history, TV.
History.
63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,080
TV history and film history is
Even if the writing was we
64
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,680
killed him, he's dead.
Oh shit, we fucked up.
65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,120
Yeah, we brought him back
without there having been a
66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,160
shred of ground laying
previously.
67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,000
Right, that's what games taught
us.
68
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Exactly, you'll never convince
me that there's anything in the
69
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,160
text to say like it might not
have been dead, but I will allow
70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,960
the show being like actually
retcon.
71
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,400
He's fine.
I'll allow that.
72
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360
They could have retcon did
because they're idiots.
73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Yeah, I will say in my own
defense and defense of a lobby
74
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,880
everywhere that it would be
fairly easy to retcon.
75
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,839
It's it's easy to wreck on
anything, you just do it.
76
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,320
Yeah, you just do it.
Just.
77
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,080
You just have him show up and
he's like, yes, actually, I'm
78
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,120
fine.
And you carry on as if it didn't
79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,600
happen.
As if it just didn't happen.
80
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,840
The same way you carry on as if
buck should not have a leg.
81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,440
Yeah, that is true.
This whole OK, so we'll we'll
82
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,160
get there.
So the end of the day is that
83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Bobby Nash is, unfortunately for
all of us, dead and deceased for
84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,480
reasons for reasons.
I don't know that we'll ever
85
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,120
actually know them.
No.
86
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Feel a little nefarious?
Though that has been the
87
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,320
weirdest part of this.
We were like, you know, thinking
88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,160
that maybe something would have
come out that maybe Peter would
89
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,640
have, Peter Krasso would have
done like an exit interview that
90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,800
they would like talk about it.
Nothing.
91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,080
It has been radio freaking
silence from from the powers
92
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,880
that be.
And you know, there's always a
93
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,800
thought that like, oh they
didn't they were trying to cut
94
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,080
costs right?
With his salary.
95
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,040
Except the 1st 4 episodes of
this show are insanely
96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,480
expensive.
They're so expensive and they
97
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,880
and they bumped up two more
people to Maine.
98
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Yeah.
So this.
99
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,840
Is not.
These are not the actions of a
100
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,640
show that's trying to cut costs.
No, it's not.
101
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960
And it's not like they've added
in product placement to get some
102
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,360
extra cash.
No.
103
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,760
Well, I mean, maybe the buddy
episode is probably coming up,
104
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,600
so we'll wait and see.
If Trojan is sponsoring.
105
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080
I'm just saying the last three
big product placements they had
106
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,120
were all buddy related.
I'm just saying.
107
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,160
Buddy brought to you by Trojan
and Astroglide.
108
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200
By Chris Pratt but I just as
long.
109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,560
As it works.
Long as it works, it's just it.
110
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,600
It's a.
It's a very odd confluence of
111
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,000
events, made even stranger by
the writing.
112
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,280
Yeah, for sure.
Like the?
113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,920
The more time we sit and think
on it, the more time we kind of
114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,680
get to process, the more time we
get to go back and see it again.
115
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,960
The more time we get to really
dig in, the more questions we're
116
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,720
just like, what?
What choices were made?
117
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,040
Why were they made this way?
Especially when fuck Nugget
118
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,360
McGee is out there.
Like we did it for the realism.
119
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,440
If he had never fucking said
that.
120
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,760
I mean to be fair, he didn't
fucking say that.
121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,200
Sure he said something.
He never actually said the word
122
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,000
realism.
He was talking in that interview
123
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,120
about, like, wanting to raise
the stakes.
124
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,600
Yes, that is true.
And he did raise the stakes.
125
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,440
That I, I guess is true.
I'm still not worried about any
126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880
of them.
I'm I'm absolutely not worried
127
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,720
about other people dying.
No, absolutely not.
128
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,240
I'm still not worried about it
like so this is this is we are 4
129
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,720
episodes into season 9 of 911.
And so you know, spoiler alert
130
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560
and and we are waiting for the
the edisode.
131
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,320
In theory, I'm hoping it's an
edisode.
132
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,600
Wouldn't that be embarrassing
for everyone when it's not?
133
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Oh my God, yes, it will like
surprise.
134
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,280
It's about G young like oh God,
sorry, sorry guys, my bad.
135
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,400
And that we can come back around
to that if I remember it, but
136
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,960
maybe put a pin in that.
OK.
137
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,080
But yes, so this is this is kind
of the the lens we're coming at
138
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,160
it with.
So like, Hen and Athena go to
139
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,160
space, right?
It's the like.
140
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,000
It's a four part opener.
You did not need a four part
141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,600
opener.
You and I have talked about this
142
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,320
offline, online, we're going to
talk about it.
143
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,480
They did not need a four part
opener.
144
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,000
No, I think what happened is
what did I say?
145
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
It's too much idea and it shoved
into network constraints.
146
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Yeah, because you made a really
good point that if it was on
147
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:04,040
like an HBO, it could have been
two or three long episodes.
148
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,680
Yeah, they're stuck.
They're stuck trying to have a
149
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,240
41 or 42 minute episode.
It's an hour of your, your day
150
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,360
if you're watching it live.
But with commercials, you have
151
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,600
41 or 42 minutes, right?
Yep.
152
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,120
And you have to fit that.
You have to cut to fit that.
153
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,360
You don't have any wiggle room
unless you've somehow negotiated
154
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,000
like our special event, an hour
and 10 minutes.
155
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,640
But that takes effort.
But if you are on cable, you can
156
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,159
tell them, hey, today we're
doing a 55 minute episode.
157
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:38,880
Tomorrow we're doing a 62 minute
episode and you write to fit the
158
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,720
episode, which meant he could
have done 2/2 hour episodes.
159
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:45,760
Yeah, absolutely.
And it would have made more
160
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,240
sense.
It would have just made more
161
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,840
sense.
Like I they they had it going
162
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,040
for a minute cuz sees this
episode 1 you opened with like
163
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,560
the weird dynamics.
You kind of set all the players
164
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,800
up.
You set up Chimney interim
165
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,960
captain after six months, still
feeling really unsure and
166
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,400
unstable about everything,
Maddie trying her best to
167
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:14,120
support her beloved husband
alongside raising, you know, a
168
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,520
precious little kid and the
roundest baby on earth.
169
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,560
A full beach ball.
I love him so much.
170
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,680
And because it's Hollywood, you
know that there's two of them.
171
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,240
You know that that baby is a
friend.
172
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,640
You know that there's two of
those babies.
173
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,120
I'm so excited that those babies
and I exist in the same mortal
174
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,120
plane at the same time.
There are potentially triplets.
175
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:36,120
I hope so.
I hope that the the round baby,
176
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,440
the circle baby just exists in
the world, delighting everyone
177
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,200
in their path.
That's so funny.
178
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,640
So Eddie and Hen are partners
and they're partners on the job
179
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,160
and it's very exciting.
And Jimmy's like, I shouldn't
180
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,200
have worried about that, you
know, because they're doing
181
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,640
great.
Buck is of course fucking
182
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,840
unspooling about it.
He's 4 reasons.
183
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,520
Yeah.
Why is he?
184
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,000
Why is he spooling?
Why is he unspooling about it?
185
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,880
He's got a great partner in
Ravi.
186
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,360
He's been working with Hen for
like 8 years.
187
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600
He should have no reason to feel
funny about this.
188
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,920
None.
I wonder why he's feeling funny
189
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,440
about this.
Because his BFF for life is
190
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,600
chatting up with someone else.
Because his.
191
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,160
BFF for Life is having a nice
time with somebody else and it
192
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,080
makes him, it makes him a little
nervous.
193
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,480
And then all of a sudden they
are doing like, I can't get mad
194
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,440
at the whale swallows A kayaker.
I can't get mad at that because
195
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,320
it happened.
It did happen, yeah.
196
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,760
So like from the headlines,
like, OK, sure, I'll give you
197
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:44,680
that.
That's fine.
198
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,640
That's it's Freeway Shark.
It's Binato.
199
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Like, OK, all right, I'll bite.
And frankly, Mark Quinzuelos did
200
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,600
a great job in those episodes as
like a techie Dick.
201
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,000
I liked him.
He was great and the Teen Wolf
202
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,640
twin.
Yep, whichever one it was, I.
203
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Think it was Max.
Was it great?
204
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,080
Loved it I.
Don't know.
205
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,520
I don't know which of the Teen
Wolf twins he played.
206
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,200
No idea.
But I think it was Max Carver.
207
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:10,160
But all of a sudden we.
Did.
208
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,440
We get the we get the politics
of it.
209
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,440
You know, like, like Chief
Simpson is like, yeah, well,
210
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,600
he's going to give us a bunch of
money, which means we can spend
211
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,760
it on on new equipment that we
want.
212
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,600
And hence, like shrugging emoji.
OK, I guess.
213
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,800
And Athena, who has just been
like sitting like a like
214
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,880
somebody in her grief, obviously
is like, I'm feeling untethered.
215
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,080
I'm feeling unsettled.
I feel like I'm too much of A
216
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920
burden for everybody.
And Hen Wilson, world's best
217
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,600
friend, is like, no, you're my
burden.
218
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,080
I love you.
So does Karen.
219
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,240
We're going to invite you every
week until you say yes, don't
220
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,400
worry about it.
We're still here for you on the
221
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,200
other side.
So to thank her, Athena says
222
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,520
Sure, I'll go to space with you
like a like an idiot.
223
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,440
I hope you know that I would
never go to space for you.
224
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,160
You know, that doesn't surprise
me.
225
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,560
I'm a little sad, I'm a little
hurt.
226
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,680
No, you shouldn't be.
I hope you know I would.
227
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520
I would, Maddie.
The situation from the ground.
228
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,760
I appreciate that I need a
Maddie on the ground.
229
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,400
But I am not going to space.
I need a Maddie on the ground
230
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,440
for sure.
Yeah, the amount of vomit that
231
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,400
would happen in the helmet, I
just.
232
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:26,120
Oh gosh, me too, man, Me too.
So they spend like the like an
233
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,880
episode and a half basically
before they're even going to
234
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,560
space.
And so we're like, this can't
235
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:39,120
possibly end well.
And sure enough, it doesn't.
236
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Money and politics over safety
yada yada.
237
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,080
Elon Musk, yada yada.
Elon Musk, yada yada, you know,
238
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,800
and so the the on the ground
portion is pretty much stalled
239
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,720
for the moment until we can
figure out what's going on in
240
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,120
space.
And it goes from silly best
241
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,160
friend adventure in space to
medical expertise in zero
242
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,520
gravity to I can't lose anybody
else.
243
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,400
There's more for me in heaven
than there is for me on Earth.
244
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,680
Like don't make like don't make
me choose between you.
245
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,520
Yeah.
Which is like an amazing fun
246
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,000
journey to go on.
Really wish you could have gone
247
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,440
through it on Earth.
On Earth, yeah.
248
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:33,400
I feel like space was not
necessary for Athena grieving.
249
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,600
No, I don't think it was.
I really don't like, I think
250
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,800
there was something really
beautiful about the like there
251
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,920
is more, you know, like there's,
there's plenty for you waiting
252
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,360
on earth.
And she's like, no, there's more
253
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,240
for me in heaven because
Emmett's there and Bobby's there
254
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,880
and, you know, like.
Fuck them kids.
255
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,480
Fuck them kids.
Fuck them kids.
256
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,760
I absolutely love, like, you
know, my kids are grown.
257
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Like Harry dropped out of high
school.
258
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,400
He's a child.
Harry's 18 Athena like.
259
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,640
He's not.
I mean, I guess.
260
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,880
He's going to invest like.
But they need a parent.
261
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,720
All of their parents are gone.
All 12 of their parents are
262
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,040
gone.
Yes, they have.
263
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,840
They have like a gaggle of
parents and they're all gone.
264
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:21,640
Like Buck is not gonna step in
as another parent.
265
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,240
He can't.
No, he he cannot.
266
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,440
He's trying the best that he
can.
267
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,040
He can.
He can unk, he can big bro.
268
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,280
He cannot parent.
Cannot parent those particular
269
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,840
children.
Here's hoping there is another
270
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,560
particular child that he can
parent that we'll see here soon.
271
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Crossing every finger.
But so there's just so much
272
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,960
happening in the space arc that
doesn't have any long term
273
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,920
consequence, and like 911 is
known for their opening arcs
274
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,840
that have no long term
consequences.
275
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,320
For sure.
Well, OK, the tsunami had some
276
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,200
long term consequence.
Yes.
277
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Like, emotionally.
Yes, and it did drive the
278
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,280
character relationship like it.
It explained the ongoing
279
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,360
character relationship between
Buck and Chris.
280
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,960
Yeah, but that was like the last
time.
281
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,040
What was Season 4's opening arc?
Was that the pandemic?
282
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,960
There was some pandemic.
Yeah, so that was like Maddie
283
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,920
being pregnant and that whole
thing and then Season 5.
284
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,920
I think wasn't is season 4 also
had the dam bursting right?
285
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,080
Yeah, but that was done after
like a minute.
286
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,400
An episode Yeah, season 5 was
there was a the blackout.
287
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,360
Oh yes, the blackout.
That was fun.
288
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,480
The.
Ransomware blackout.
289
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,640
Yeah, it's the black and.
The zoo animals.
290
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,360
And the zoo animals, I didn't
hate that it didn't have a ton
291
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,400
of long term consequences other
than like.
292
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,360
Eddie.
Eddie passing out because Anna.
293
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,760
And and that everyone writes
that Buck takes Chris to the
294
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,280
zoo.
Yes, and clipboard Buck.
295
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Clipboard Buck.
But like, not a ton of long term
296
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,520
consequences season 6.
Oh, season 6, Season 6 I'm
297
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,560
trying to like walk it back.
I don't remember Season 6 there
298
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,800
was a a blimp.
Yeah.
299
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,320
What was the?
Blimp.
300
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,520
Let's see.
OK, the cruise ship was season
301
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,720
7, right?
Yes, so season Season 6 didn't
302
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,920
seem to really have a big arc
'cause it was the Athena goes
303
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,320
home thing so.
Season 6 open with a blimp.
304
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,960
Yeah, season 6 opens with a
blimp which really only takes an
305
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,680
episode and then Six 2 is when
the everything crashes at the
306
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,840
happiness convention.
Oh, that was sad.
307
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,680
That was sad, but that's Captain
Hen.
308
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Yeah.
With and then 63 is Athena and
309
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,599
Bobby going down to down to
Chimney or down to not to
310
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:10,240
Chimney down to Florida.
Sorry chimneys in for a wild
311
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,720
ride.
Sorry, I'm there's more on the
312
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,839
page, but yeah, that's when they
go down to Florida and catch a.
313
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:16,960
Murderer.
A murderer.
314
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,280
Yeah, like I think honestly, the
last one that had consequences,
315
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,760
I say consequences.
It was Season 7 with the cruise
316
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,800
ship because, for what it's
worth, it introduced Tommy.
317
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,800
Sorry.
But.
318
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,200
It was just a gut reaction.
Yeah, it happens.
319
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,920
I'm he's not my guy, but I don't
have quite the vitriolic
320
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,840
reaction that some folks do.
But it did like them actually
321
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,720
being consequences.
Literally, it's just, it's, it's
322
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,280
Norman.
It's it's.
323
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,000
It's the return of like the two
best side characters for three
324
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
episodes for fun.
And do you See me, Norman and
325
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,280
the whole thing, you know, with
Hen is acting captain and trying
326
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,000
to figure that out.
And then they introduce, they
327
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,360
end up introducing or guys
reintroducing Tommy, which then
328
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:18,560
kicks off the BI Bach arc.
So like that actually does set
329
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,120
up a few Nuggets for later down
the season.
330
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Surprisingly, the plane incident
does nothing.
331
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,560
People.
Remember B NATO more than they
332
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,280
remember Athena landing a
jetliner well.
333
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,080
Yeah, because the the marketing
was the Binado, so it's like
334
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,560
it's stuck.
And also it's silly.
335
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,200
And I mean, I remember the plane
because of, I'm going to call it
336
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,720
iconic scene, even though we've
overused iconic of, of Bobby
337
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,680
standing on the truck on the
highway waiting for, well,
338
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,440
apparently waiting to be smashed
by a plane.
339
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,960
But.
But like, you know, watching
340
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,680
Athena land the plane.
In To Date To date, that is the
341
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,640
most romantic scene of Die 11.
It honestly is.
342
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,080
For me.
Yeah.
343
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,360
Tell me in person.
Tell me in person.
344
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,880
Tell me in person like you.
You.
345
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,360
You mean to tell me that he
doesn't even survive the season?
346
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,320
You mean to tell me?
I know, I know.
347
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,280
Like what did Peter?
Krauser do to him like to Tim.
348
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,720
I near like what did what
happened?
349
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,800
I hope that Peter Krausa is
living the happiest,
350
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:35,200
sunshiniest, softest life with
whoever he chooses to share it
351
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,680
with.
I hope.
352
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,720
I hope he is well.
Hope he is well.
353
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,120
And maybe he tells someone what
happened and that trickles down
354
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:44,520
into the fandom.
We just kind of know what
355
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,880
happened.
I imagined he is under a very
356
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,240
strict, not very.
Shiny NDA.
357
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,600
A very shiny NDA, yes.
What I'm hoping, what I'm hoping
358
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,560
is that perhaps he had a phone
call with somebody before he
359
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,720
signed that NDA.
Yes, yes, yes.
360
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,520
So there might be a rumor around
somewhere.
361
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,880
Just a rumor trickling through
LA that somehow manages to make
362
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840
it to somebody who knows
someone.
363
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Who knows someone?
Who knows someone?
364
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,360
You know how it works.
I hope he's doing well, I hope
365
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:20,160
he's relaxing in the weather of
his choice.
366
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,560
But yes, So season 8, that
opening arc had little to no
367
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,480
consequence and truly this won't
either.
368
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,880
I don't think it will.
I can't see it mattering down
369
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,040
the line.
Like the most affect it's going
370
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:45,920
to have is that Athena, by grace
of, you know, young Athena or
371
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Hen or you know, her emergency
training or whatever got her
372
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,400
back out of outer space and onto
the ground.
373
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,160
And she was never going to die.
No, no, like.
374
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,600
What were the steaks?
What are the steaks like?
375
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,200
To be fair, I don't want steaks
anymore.
376
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,520
Don't either.
You, you ruined the steaks, man.
377
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,360
I don't want it anymore.
Like I no, either make it silly,
378
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:20,040
goofy or just be done because
like there were there were a
379
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,880
couple of scenes that kind of
got me.
380
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,200
But generally speaking, like no,
and there should be some long
381
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,960
term consequences of this and
there's just small B.
382
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,440
We're just going to we're going
to move on.
383
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,440
We're going to forget it and the
the like.
384
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,040
The consequence is going to be a
thing that gets over her grief,
385
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,400
which is not how it works.
The long term consequences
386
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,480
should be that we should be
discussing like private space
387
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,440
travel as a country and we're
not going to do.
388
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,080
That we're not going to do that.
I'm like, hey, this is actually
389
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,920
like maybe a bad idea and space
debris is actually like, like
390
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,760
that's the lasting consequence
of space debris interfering with
391
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,080
our satellite system and that
kind of shit.
392
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,840
But that, that's not what
they're going for.
393
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,240
But I will say a long term
consequence of this opening arc
394
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,560
for me is that I got to see so
much of my bestie, Karen Wilson.
395
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,040
Oh yeah, Karen had a real arc
that had the actual that had
396
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,600
literally nothing to do with her
children.
397
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,480
Yes, yes.
Like it had a little bit of her
398
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,480
having to be like having to do
with her being a wife, but only
399
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,800
in a it's my wife in danger kind
of way.
400
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,000
She was actually a scientist.
She was actually a scientist.
401
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,440
I'd also like to state for the
record that for me, Athena was
402
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,400
the main character in Outer
space.
403
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:44,000
Ken was the main character on
the ground, like May May was,
404
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,880
you know, doing clipboard.
May, she was trying to distract
405
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,200
herself with the things.
And then Harry was panicking
406
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,240
about Athena, but in a way that
made it about him and not about
407
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,560
his mom.
Yeah.
408
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,680
Like from a character writing
perspective.
409
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,280
And so like when we were on the
ground, I was like, Oh my God,
410
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,040
head is stuck in the space
station.
411
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,040
And then we go into space.
I'm like, Oh yeah, it's Athena.
412
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,920
Yeah, yeah.
Like hen was actually mostly
413
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,080
safe in the space, in outer
space it should be that it was
414
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,760
doing making choices.
Yeah, Hen was doing OK up there.
415
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,080
I just.
And Tricia.
416
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,840
And of course.
And Queen, Queen Tricia.
417
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,680
Tricia, who I would like to see
again.
418
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,560
Correct, I need to see her
again.
419
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,120
I think this is my problem with
procedurals is you get a really
420
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:35,800
great like guest character and
like wait wait wait wait bring
421
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,680
her back.
Yeah, I think back to me.
422
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,880
I think Trisha goes in the in
the Norman.
423
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,360
What is his wife's name?
Oh.
424
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,960
My God, it's Kurt's mom.
It's Kurt's mom.
425
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,760
No, it's Carol.
It's Carol, but I don't know
426
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,840
what her what what her 911 name
is.
427
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,360
Lola.
Lola Lola Yes, she's reached the
428
00:23:56,360 --> 00:24:05,240
Lola Norman driver's Ed lesbians
like level love of of one off
429
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,840
character, Trisha.
Well they were like 3 off
430
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,480
characters, Norman and Lola.
Yeah, but they became three off
431
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,680
characters, so I just love them.
Love this for them.
432
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,960
Love this for us, for Tricia,
for Tricia and her new one.
433
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Alarmingly young boy toy.
You know what?
434
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,800
Let it ride.
They went through a traumatic
435
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,960
experience together.
She's got money.
436
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,600
It's.
Cool.
437
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,720
She does have money.
She has money and 1% of a
438
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,640
company.
Yeah, that's cratering, but
439
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,040
she'll be fine.
It's fine.
440
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:45,480
So that that is, that is where
we are with 9119A.
441
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,040
Yeah, it's gonna, yeah, I don't
know.
442
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,040
It's too much opening.
Yeah, I agree, it's too much
443
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,040
opening.
Because now we know there's
444
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:59,280
going to be a hiatus in January,
so there's two more episodes and
445
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,480
then there's a break.
Yeah.
446
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:07,120
And then we come back in January
and we don't know for sure, but
447
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:11,600
smart money is on there being
actually a second hiatus.
448
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,400
Yeah, there's usually a spring
break.
449
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,720
Yeah, because the the Olympics
are back in like late February.
450
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,840
So a two or three-week break for
the Olympics.
451
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,680
Hiatuses don't bother me like
this is just network TV.
452
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,680
Hiatuses bother me only in the
fact that I generally don't
453
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,680
watch TV that's live, so I'm not
trained for it.
454
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,200
Yeah.
But that's a me problem.
455
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:45,080
So OK, not OK, it's not media
literacy, but there's like an
456
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:52,200
impatience in fandom that is
that is wrapped up in a lot of
457
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:58,840
things that are going on with
spoilers and knowing what
458
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,280
episode is getting filmed and
knowing the titles of the
459
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,080
episodes and knowing what stills
are coming out and knowing
460
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,240
production codes and every
single thing you can possibly
461
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,600
know about the episode before it
happens.
462
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:22,200
And trying to deduce from 1
still the entire plot line of an
463
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,080
episode.
Like with the next Eddie
464
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,560
episode, like it's it's going to
be an episode.
465
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,000
Like what if it's not?
What if it's not?
466
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:37,280
What if you build up an entire
episode in your brain and that's
467
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,480
not what it's about, and you
have now built and created
468
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,200
something and are now devastated
by a thing that was never going
469
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,000
to happen because you can't just
let the story lay out.
470
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,920
And I don't know when this
happened, when it started.
471
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,320
I don't know if it's social
media or I mean, probably
472
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,720
everything is social media,
right?
473
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,680
But having to decipher and
deduce and then post and and
474
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:09,320
know and unlock the secrets of
something that hasn't happened
475
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,840
yet, only to be disappointed by
a thing that never was.
476
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,040
I don't know how severe it was
because I wasn't watching live
477
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,320
at the time, but I believe this
sort of thing happened with Glee
478
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,840
when we would get the songs.
Out did it absolutely did.
479
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,360
Like a song would come out and
like this is for Kurt and it's
480
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:28,760
for plain.
And this is what's going to
481
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,040
happen in the scene when they're
singing it.
482
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,440
And then it's not.
And you're like, it was never
483
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,080
going to be that.
Way it's never going to be that
484
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,160
way.
I just, I think there's
485
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,360
something and maybe it's because
I wasn't on that side of the
486
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:40,200
Internet.
Maybe it's because Twitter was a
487
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,880
cesspool, but it wasn't that big
a cesspool like it.
488
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:50,640
The reactions weren't as intense
as they are now.
489
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,080
Yeah.
And I don't really know why I.
490
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:56,120
Don't know either.
I think there's a lot of it to
491
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,320
do.
You know, we all know, we've all
492
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,080
studied, we've all heard of the
way that like the algorithms
493
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,560
really kind of are fucking with
our brains.
494
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,440
Oh, for sure.
And there's so much in the like,
495
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,400
kind of middle school.
I was right.
496
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,920
You were wrong.
Yeah, kind of nonsense.
497
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:20,080
And like, it's so public now and
there's something, you know,
498
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:25,640
about gloating and being right.
Like, OK, so to, you know, to
499
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,720
call myself out here, I wrote
after Bobby died, ripped my
500
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,560
heart.
I wrote a Dia de Los Muertos.
501
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,840
You did.
I did back in like April and I
502
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,320
was quite proud of it because,
yeah, it was something that we
503
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,920
did at home.
It was a thing we built to know
504
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,240
from that every year at school.
It was like a big, it was a big
505
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:53,200
thing and it felt right for me.
So when I heard back in back a
506
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,320
couple weeks ago, months ago,
whatever that they were doing at
507
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,320
the Los Muertos episode, like do
I think it's going to be my
508
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,040
fick?
No, but I will be watching Mr.
509
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,320
My near.
Yeah.
510
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,960
I'd like my lavender latte sent
to my home please.
511
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,520
You know financial compensation
is not necessary but like a hat
512
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,560
tip would be nice.
Yeah.
513
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,080
But like, I'm not gonna sit here
and get mad if it hasn't.
514
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,400
If, if they don't, if it's not
resonant at all.
515
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,040
If anything, it makes me want to
be like, hey, did you?
516
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,320
Did you?
Are you excited about this
517
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,000
episode?
Cool.
518
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,800
Read my fick.
Right.
519
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,960
Yeah.
Like that's the part of it I'm
520
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,800
excited about.
I think that's a huge part of it
521
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,520
is this feeling of needing to be
right and needing to be right
522
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,280
first, needing to be like the
first post with the most
523
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,520
engagement and the most notes
and like proving that you,
524
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,560
you're doing the show right,
you're doing the show correctly.
525
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,160
You are.
You are correct about your
526
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,920
opinions about a property and
that that you understand it the
527
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,080
most.
You understand the characters
528
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,720
the most and the most correct
like.
529
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,760
And like, the thing about it is,
I get it.
530
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,960
I get it.
I get it.
531
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,720
I.
Want I want to be right of?
532
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,320
Course, everyone wants to be
right.
533
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,360
Everyone.
Feels awesome.
534
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,960
We're all fucking a students.
All of us, we're all fucking a
535
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,000
students.
We know what's going on like we
536
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,600
need to be right.
We need to be very first.
537
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,160
We need to be very loudest.
We, of course we.
538
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,440
Everyone wants to be patted on
the head and told that you're
539
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,360
good and.
And like, so I, I think it's an
540
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,960
awful confluence of events
because like over the last few
541
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,720
weeks, you know, we've been
looking at resumes and one of
542
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:47,520
the things that resumes now
really, really, really want are
543
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:52,200
hard data and numbers.
I ran X number of programs at Y
544
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:58,760
dollars of budget per event with
a CSAT score of 5.6 of five
545
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,680
like.
And so in order to kind of have
546
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,040
those numbers, we look for those
numbers everywhere.
547
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,880
What are your gains at the gym?
Are you gaining fat?
548
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,960
Are you losing fat?
Are you gaining muscle?
549
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,600
Are you losing muscle?
Did what's your new PB?
550
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,080
Did you did you add another ton
plate to your deadlift?
551
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,480
You know, can you cut calories?
Can you count calories?
552
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,080
Can you get your steps in?
And so you participate in fandom
553
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,000
the same way.
How many notes did I get?
554
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,480
Are you optimizing your phantom
experience?
555
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,960
Are you optimizing your phantom
experience and like that is?
556
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Not the fucking point.
That's not the point.
557
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:42,800
And also it's how it works now
and for me, baby, I'm trying so
558
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,800
hard to not let it be me.
I'm trying, I am failing, but I
559
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,560
am trying, which is important.
It's.
560
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,200
Very hard not to get wrapped up
in it.
561
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,800
It's.
So hard not to get wrapped up in
562
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:55,600
it.
Yeah.
563
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,880
And so you because people want
to belong because you do you
564
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,120
want to belong.
And especially like, so I don't
565
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:10,360
remember 'cause I was so firmly
in the claim section of Glee
566
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,280
that like multi shipping didn't
even cross my, like cross my my
567
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,000
path at all, you know, and I
wasn't deep enough in Febari to
568
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,480
get the Finchal stuff and
nobody's fighting about
569
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Quintana.
So like, or nobody's talking
570
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,760
about Britanna, they were
fighting about Quintana.
571
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,840
But you know, that was just like
a fun other thing that happened.
572
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,680
But you know, in Teen Wolf, I
again was so firmly and Steric.
573
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,320
I didn't really get the city of
stuff.
574
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,400
And then by the time I got to
the city of stuff, everyone had
575
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:48,680
moved on to Theo.
And so the multi shipping really
576
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,320
worked in Teen Wolf and it was
kind of, you know, yeah, Steric
577
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,120
is my is my core pairing.
But everybody else shake them
578
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,880
up.
You want to put Allison with
579
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,680
Isaac or Allison with Scott or
Allison with Kira or Allison
580
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,240
with Malia or Allison with
Jordan Parrish or like Allison
581
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,680
with like whatever.
And it doesn't matter.
582
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,760
And it didn't matter.
You had your nucleus and then
583
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,680
everyone else around kind of
shuffled.
584
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:19,080
But with 911 it is such a siloed
and difurcated system.
585
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,240
Yeah.
And even for those of us who
586
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,120
kind of want to cross the
streams, we can't.
587
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:30,320
There's no middle ground where
you can where you can be without
588
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,720
kind of getting barked out by
one side or the other, which is
589
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,600
wild.
It is wild.
590
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,000
Like it's like it's personal.
Like it's personal.
591
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,840
Like it's personal.
The amount of Anon hate I have
592
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,320
seen like going around my dash.
It's like what are you people
593
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,520
doing?
Why, why, Why is it so critical
594
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,800
that this be a thing that you'd
say out loud?
595
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,080
Yeah, I mean, my answer to that
is always just turn off Anon.
596
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,800
Yes, absolutely.
Just turn it off.
597
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,800
Like don't post it, don't
respond to it, just turn it off.
598
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,720
I know that might mean that shy
people can't ask you questions,
599
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,560
but like, that's the price.
Honestly, the part of it that
600
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,320
makes that drives me the most,
you know, crazy about it is that
601
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,679
I don't think you can actually
anymore reply privately to an
602
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:22,760
inbox message you used to be
able to like to reply, like
603
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,120
sending postcards back and
forth.
604
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,920
I think I have recently.
I haven't.
605
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,480
I can't figure out how.
I mean, I did, but maybe they
606
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,000
never got it.
Yeah.
607
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,239
'Cause like every time I send
something in that I'm just like,
608
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,840
hey, this is like a just a
private thing I want to send you
609
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,880
is it gets posted.
Oh and it's like I would love to
610
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:51,159
not post these.
I would love to but I I don't
611
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:54,600
know how to do that anymore.
Maybe it's just me not knowing
612
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,360
where the buttons are.
They may have changed the
613
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,040
button.
I feel like I have sent an inbox
614
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,320
privately in like the last
month.
615
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,600
I'll try it.
But honestly I don't get a lot
616
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,000
of messages.
I have.
617
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,080
I have one sitting in my inbox
from you, so I'll try it.
618
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:14,360
OK, But like it is it is so
harsh, It's so vitriolic.
619
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,560
And if you were that person who
learned from a place like Teen
620
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,360
Wolf about, you know, multi
shipping, there's there's simply
621
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,640
no place in the current phantom,
at least on Tumblr.
622
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,560
I don't know about Twitter.
I don't know about TikTok.
623
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,200
I don't know about Instagram.
I don't.
624
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,800
I don't go to Twitter.
I don't go.
625
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,800
I don't go there.
I don't, I don't go there, but
626
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,240
it is like I've got a handful of
people on my dash who are in
627
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:39,000
fact multi shippers and they're
just alone on little islands.
628
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,080
And I wouldn't consider myself a
multi shipper, but I'm I
629
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,880
definitely learn more toward
multi shipping than a lot of my
630
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,040
friends.
And it's it feel, it can feel
631
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,560
scary to say it out loud.
I mean, it's currently, I mean
632
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,880
it's always been a little rough
saying the thing that is against
633
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,360
the flow of traffic.
Yes, it's always a little rough.
634
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,160
It's always a little rough doing
that.
635
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:08,880
But I think the 911 fandom, I
don't know if it's an age issue,
636
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:10,960
it's definitely a skill issue
an.
637
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,160
Experience issue.
There's a there's a skill gap in
638
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,240
there.
Yeah, of like, wow, no one wants
639
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:21,120
to hear a conflicting opinion.
No one.
640
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,880
And again, this is a this is a
Tumblr problem for me because I
641
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,120
can't speak to the other ones.
Yeah, I don't go the other
642
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,160
places.
I mean, I'm I'm on TikTok, but
643
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,120
for like the podcast.
Yeah.
644
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,280
So I don't I don't post right.
So I certainly wouldn't be
645
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,760
interacting in that way.
Yeah, it's there's a lot of
646
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,160
there's a lot of what seems to
be behavior that is explained by
647
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,280
an over reliance on an
algorithm.
648
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,720
Tumblr has always been in the
one of the reasons that it is
649
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:56,000
kind of the way it is, is that
it's very much a choose your own
650
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,480
choose your own adventure.
You choose who to follow.
651
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,600
You figure out, you know, oh,
hey, this person that I really
652
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,440
like keeps reblogging this other
person's stuff.
653
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,720
Maybe I should go check them
out.
654
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:10,360
And that's kind of how it how it
goes.
655
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,080
And then you open or close the
floodgates kind of as you need
656
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,600
to.
But so many people now just go
657
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:23,160
through and like 1000 things
thinking like on Twitter, like
658
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,240
on Instagram, like on Tiktok,
that's going to feed them more
659
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:29,880
of the same.
And like it kind of does on the
660
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,840
4U tab.
But like, generally speaking,
661
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,720
that's not really how it works
on Tupperware, nor should it be.
662
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,600
That's not how the that's not,
that's not one of the cool
663
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,120
things about the platform.
Yeah, it's not why we're here.
664
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,440
That's not why we're here.
And so it does require you to
665
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,400
make more active choices in who
you talk to and why and what art
666
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,120
do you share and why and where
and how.
667
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,640
But we've lost a bunch of the
old fandom tenants and it's
668
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,600
about trying to explain to the
folks who haven't done it
669
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,160
before.
Like, no, I'm actually not going
670
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:11,360
to shit on people who ship Buck
and Bobby or who ship Buck and
671
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,560
Maddie.
Like I have Wincest on my
672
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,080
dashboard.
I've got I've got a mutual who
673
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,000
fell head first into Wincest and
I'm like, OK, great.
674
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Have fun.
That's what I've got.
675
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,440
Blocking tags is for.
I have another one who is head
676
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,680
first into into John and and
Sansa from Game of Thrones.
677
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,640
They're not even related, Yeah.
They're a little related a.
678
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,160
Little related.
And and you know, you want to
679
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,560
talk about the Targaryen, like,
cool, fall head first.
680
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,960
It's not for me.
But like, if you decide that you
681
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,760
want to ship Buck and Maddie, by
all means, it's fiction, it's
682
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,040
fandom.
I'll block the tag.
683
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Don't worry about it.
That that's it's always
684
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,720
curating.
Your own experience?
685
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,360
It's not for me.
Yes, pulling your own socks.
686
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,720
Yeah.
You don't want to read about old
687
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:00,160
man Yawi?
Fantastic.
688
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,800
Block the tag you.
Block the fucking tag.
689
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,200
It's you.
Don't want you don't want to
690
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,760
read Victoria about Bobby and
and Brad.
691
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,280
Amazing.
Block the tag.
692
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,520
Like block you block the tag.
It's not.
693
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,640
It's it's like there's a bunch
of folks who believe that only
694
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,600
their moral purity is worthy of
content.
695
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,160
Yeah.
And I can for sure promise you
696
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:30,160
if you go any further than the
main page of any pornographic
697
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,480
website, that is not the case.
Not the case I.
698
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,080
Promise.
And you go.
699
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,960
Into the politics section of
your local library, you will
700
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,600
find things that don't subscribe
to the way you see the world, I
701
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,920
promise.
Even if you find it morally
702
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,240
repugnant, that's a you.
Problem.
703
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,080
That's a you problem.
And like, as we talk about, you
704
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,120
know, bigger things that have a
bugger effect on the world, of
705
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,280
course, you know, we're going
to.
706
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,200
There's big, big, scary, bad
politics that are pretty bad for
707
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,040
everybody.
But this is fiction.
708
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,800
It's deeply fiction.
And is not representative of
709
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,520
your moral purity.
No.
710
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,000
Like it's just not.
Even your interests.
711
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:11,320
No it's not.
There's fick.
712
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,680
I read that if it approached me
in real life, I would run away
713
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,000
screaming.
Of course.
714
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:19,960
But it's fick, so I eat that
shit with a spoon and I leave
715
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,680
kudos.
Leave kudos I like.
716
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,880
I'm looking through Ficks.
They have the ficks in my little
717
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:33,520
tab have between a six and a 14%
hits to kudos ratio.
718
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,080
That is not enough.
If you finish a fic, you leave a
719
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,920
kudo.
It's not that hard.
720
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,600
It's not that hard.
If you love it, leave a comment.
721
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,680
Do not.
Kudos are not limited resources,
722
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,840
guys.
They're not limited.
723
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,560
No, they're not.
They're not.
724
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,400
I don't know why this turned
into 44 minutes of me ranting
725
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,880
about Tumblr politics.
Well, because that's the
726
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,760
experience of being in a fandom,
and the fandom that we're in
727
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,600
right now is 911 and it's
there's a lot of it that's kind
728
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,560
of fun, yeah.
There's a lot of fun, actually.
729
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,320
I mean, you know, there's
engaging in it the way I do,
730
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:17,480
which is primarily reblogging
gift sets, talking to you, and
731
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,240
writing fic.
Because at this stage, the
732
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:25,800
thought of making a text post is
like, Oh no, I'm not doing that.
733
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,840
I'm not.
No, that sounds like a bad idea.
734
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,600
I don't know.
Because it just seems if you do
735
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:41,280
not subscribe to the the current
thought bubble of the day,
736
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,080
there's no point in saying it
out loud.
737
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,360
If if you're not going to follow
the flow of traffic, then don't
738
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:55,280
speak on something right?
Like, if so, everyone's writing
739
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:58,960
paramedic may probe Harry.
Yeah.
740
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:04,240
And it's become like a a given
that that's what they should do
741
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:06,520
and should be.
And it's like there's no wiggle
742
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,640
room to have a secondary thought
about it.
743
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,720
And helps, I don't like it.
Great.
744
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,840
I don't either.
I think it's silly.
745
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,960
On my bingo card I have
Journalist May sounds great.
746
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,680
I in my little there's only 17
characters in the world.
747
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,520
She interns with Taylor Kelly.
Great.
748
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:27,840
Because I love Taylor Kelly.
You know, OK, so I was thinking
749
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,320
we had this, this WhatsApp
conversation about it.
750
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,320
And one of the thoughts that I
had forgotten to say is like one
751
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,320
of the reasons Taylor Kelly is
interesting is because she's not
752
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,320
part of the 118.
She has a life outside of them.
753
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,920
And is only.
Ancillarily, her like she's the
754
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,720
journalist.
She doesn't work for the 118.
755
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:51,120
She's not a paramedic, She's not
a firefighter.
756
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,600
She has a job.
And sometimes she interacts with
757
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,440
them because her job brings her
to them.
758
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,600
Yeah.
And frankly, she brings herself
759
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,800
to them like she doesn't need to
interact with them at all.
760
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,840
And that's the problem I have
with Paramedic May and Probe
761
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:10,680
Harry, is that it's acting like
that is the only pathway for two
762
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,640
people on this show is to
somehow be involved as a first
763
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,200
responder.
And I think that is insane.
764
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,840
Are you telling me that these
two kids who have grown up
765
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,720
around first responders think
that's all there is?
766
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,120
They're kids.
They're going to be like, fuck
767
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,320
that noise.
I'm not doing what my parents
768
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,800
do.
Considering.
769
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,560
My their adult friends are all
paramedics and firefighters.
770
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,000
They're going to be like, fuck
you guys, I'm doing something
771
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,480
else.
I'm going to go moved to
772
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,840
Saskatchewan like.
Literally considering they just
773
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,160
lost a parent.
They just lost a first responder
774
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,520
parent.
Yes, Sir.
775
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,320
Like that is the last thing on
their minds right now.
776
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,680
May has already worked kind of
sort of as a first responder in
777
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,000
dispatch.
She left that job for a reason.
778
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,080
Yeah, she did.
Like, do I love seeing competent
779
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,160
May with a clipboard standing
next to competent Eddie with
780
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,240
blue gloves?
Of course I do, I I like seeing
781
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:08,840
her on my screen.
But I'd like her more if she had
782
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,960
different people to talk to.
Right.
783
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,520
And that was a lot of my point
is that if the writers can't
784
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,320
make them interesting without
keeping them in the BLOB of the
785
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,160
main cast, they're not good
writers.
786
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,160
That's the problem.
I'm I'm.
787
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,480
I'm going back and thinking of
other characters because we have
788
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,520
very slowly kind of whittled
away at the extra fluff.
789
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,760
Yeah.
Over time, which has that Brad?
790
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,000
God damn it.
I miss Brad.
791
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:38,720
I honestly, we were talking
about I like.
792
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,960
Brad and honestly, we were
talking about it of having
793
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,080
having Harry go be a PA that
Hotshots.
794
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,080
That's fucking funny to me
because that would be a neppo.
795
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,560
Baby that would be amazing
because everyone would hate him,
796
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,480
including Gerard, who is the
who's the technical advisor, but
797
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:59,560
he is the Bobby Nash Neppo baby
and Brad would just carry him
798
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,720
around like piggyback style like
just like he was fun.
799
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,200
I think that'd be fucking funny
because he would actually, like,
800
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,800
randomly have good information
about being a technical advisor.
801
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,960
Yeah.
So like, poor Gerard's trying to
802
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,360
do his bullshit job.
And like, Harry pops up with
803
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,920
like, well, actually, and he's
like, get the fuck out of here.
804
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,360
So like.
Apparently, according to episode
805
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,600
4, he makes a damn fine latte.
And he makes a damn fine latte,
806
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,280
so he's just showing people up
left and right and they can just
807
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,520
use the same back lot.
They don't have to have a new
808
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,000
set.
You get to bring back Hotshots,
809
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,360
which is both stupid and funny,
and I get branded.
810
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,560
And funny.
I'm a stupid and funny.
811
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,760
And everybody in LA has been APA
for like 6 months at one point
812
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,200
in their life.
Absolutely.
813
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,160
I just think.
Stupid and funny makes more
814
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,480
sense and like I I think it
would be funny, but does it make
815
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:49,880
sense as a career?
And he does.
816
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,480
And he doesn't even have a GED.
You.
817
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,920
Could at least be APA.
That's the thing.
818
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,400
That's where we're going to
start getting tricky is like I
819
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,240
talked to you, I think about an
episode that I would love to see
820
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:03,240
if they're going to continue
down this path, which is like
821
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:05,480
exam day.
Oh yeah, exam day.
822
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:06,880
Everyone has to take a test.
Well.
823
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,720
Because.
Not one of these fuckers has
824
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:11,120
taken an exam in eight years.
You know how many tests
825
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,840
firefighters have to take?
They haven't done any.
826
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,680
There's not been one episode of
training.
827
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,400
Firefighters spend most of their
fucking days training.
828
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:24,560
Yeah, it like I so they in in
the in the opener, Chimney and
829
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,400
Eddie discussed like the only
thing between you and a
830
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,200
permanent capancy is the exam.
You just need to take the exam.
831
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:32,840
Just take the test.
That's a real thing.
832
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,160
Eddie probably needs to take his
like paramedic, like re upping
833
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,600
or whatever as he's like moved
around.
834
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,280
She says he quit.
Yeah, 'cause he fucking quit.
835
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,720
He's got to take that exam.
Harry's going to take his GED.
836
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,680
And then you can put like Hen
and and Buck and Ravi into like
837
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,040
either they're like testing,
they're do they're helping out
838
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,840
with test day at the at the
Academy or they have to go in
839
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,320
for their like annual re UPS and
physicals or whatever.
840
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,600
People have to do physicals all
the time.
841
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,280
I would kill for a test day
episode because it it it, it
842
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,960
fills so many gaps and it would
be so much fun.
843
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:15,800
But like, we talked about this,
I think in person ish, we talked
844
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,600
over the phone, I think back in
the spring about like when they
845
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,800
killed Bobby.
It's how do you attach Athena to
846
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,600
the main story?
And the Phantom at the time was
847
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,680
like spouting off a bunch of
different random things.
848
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,200
But the only realistic thing we
kind of nudged into was like,
849
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:40,240
well, they could make Harry a
firefighter And none of us were
850
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:45,480
really stoked about that.
We're like, this is kind of a
851
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:50,240
shoehorn, but like, I guess.
But the problem is it's
852
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:55,040
unfortunately the only answer.
I don't know if it is the only
853
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,640
answer.
I don't I I don't know.
854
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,160
I think that.
By killing Bobby, they wrote
855
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,080
themselves into an enormous
corner.
856
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:03,160
They did.
They did.
857
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,800
With How do you keep Athena
attached?
858
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,280
And you could keep her attached
with hen.
859
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,360
Yeah, well, she could be an
arson investigator.
860
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,800
Dude she needs to take the
detective exams.
861
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,080
What she needs to do?
Testing.
862
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,680
Got to get off the streets.
Oh my God, Athena takes a
863
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,280
detective exam.
Did we know that she had been
864
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,840
shot in the leg before?
No was that information Retcon
865
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,160
does help to explain her limp
and like why she doesn't do
866
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,920
great like long term being on
the street.
867
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:33,920
I was like, did we know that
before?
868
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,240
But it does make a little more
sense.
869
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:37,760
She should not be on the street.
Should not, should not be on the
870
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,440
street.
She and she and Buck have more
871
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,880
in common.
Neither of you should be on
872
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:41,800
active duty right now.
Well.
873
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,200
Eddie's been shot in the leg
too, like.
874
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,000
That's true, that's true.
So was hen they.
875
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,800
Are a mess.
I don't think Jimmy's been shot
876
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,000
in the leg, but he didn't get
stabbed in the brain, so he
877
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,760
wouldn't have.
Packed in the brain, stabbed in
878
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,680
the side.
Stabbed in the tummy I like.
879
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,440
Do not want the 118 responding
to my fire frankly.
880
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,720
No, they're going to fall to
pieces.
881
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:06,560
Neither.
None of them can lift their elf.
882
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,000
None of them can lift their arms
above their head.
883
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,400
They cannot.
They absolutely cannot.
884
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:17,200
Even though Eddie's like his,
like video game cheer mode is
885
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,560
him, like pumping his hands over
his head like he's doing a clean
886
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,960
press.
He does not have that range of
887
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:24,640
motion at all.
He.
888
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,800
Does not have that range of
motion, not at his shoulder.
889
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,840
Like they could have done it
with Hen.
890
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,440
But I think because of like
where Aunt Angela Bassett falls
891
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,160
like on the call sheet and like
how she's actually supposed to
892
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,360
be the protagonist, it wouldn't
have given her enough story.
893
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,560
She would, she would kind of
fall even if they bumped up Hen
894
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,440
and like gave them more to do,
it would be really hard because
895
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,680
Hen wouldn't be hanging out with
Athena on the job or like at her
896
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,600
house necessarily.
Like to do that, she would have
897
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,200
to really get more integrated
into the Wilsons.
898
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:03,880
OK.
Yeah, yeah.
899
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:07,480
And like, that doesn't quite
work, I think, for contractual
900
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,960
obligations.
So like, I really, I really
901
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,720
don't know how they're going to
how they're going to swing this.
902
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:20,080
But yeah, I, I didn't love probe
Harry at the time.
903
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:26,040
I don't super love probe Harry.
Now, you know, we talk a lot,
904
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,200
The Phantom talks a lot about
kind of how young and reckless
905
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:34,360
and stupid Buck was when in in
Season 1 when he joined the fire
906
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:35,720
department.
Yeah.
907
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,360
That boy was at least mid
twenties, 26.
908
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,280
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, a solid group of years
909
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,160
older than Harry.
Mm hmm.
910
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,840
And the Academy will not look at
him if he doesn't have a GED.
911
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,600
They won't even try.
No, not even.
912
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,200
Not even remotely.
Not even Also, you wanna you
913
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,400
wanna talk about somebody just
at the high school, Talk to Mr.
914
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,360
Judd Rider.
I put a call to Mr. Judd Rider.
915
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,760
Got it To firefighters.
Here I hope he moves to LA with
916
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,280
with grace.
You also get a pay if you have a
917
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,840
higher education in the LAFD.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
918
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,600
Like, yes, the fire department
is a place for all of these
919
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,520
wonderful misfit toys, but also.
But also.
920
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,280
Harry, my guy.
My dude.
921
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:26,760
I need him to get to like the
the mid spring like episode like
922
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,840
13 the the second finale and be
like I don't want to be a
923
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,800
firefighter anymore like good.
Yeah, good.
924
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,080
Do something else.
Go.
925
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,840
Be an architect.
Go learn to play the piano.
926
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,880
Go do other things.
You dropped out of high school,
927
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:48,160
you had a job at a coffee shop
and you have lived in two
928
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,760
states.
That's that's the decision
929
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,680
you're making with your Harry.
Harry, my guy.
930
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,400
I've really enjoyed having me
and Harry around.
931
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:57,960
I do too.
I mean, that's nice.
932
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,360
I'm excited to like see them and
how they are as characters and
933
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,720
how they progress and all that
stuff, but like, they need other
934
00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:05,760
other things.
Other friends get out of the
935
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,280
BLOB.
Get out of the BLOB.
936
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:09,360
Yeah, get out of.
That's always.
937
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,960
I mean, an issue with ensemble
casts is like, they inevitably
938
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,840
make them incestuous.
Yeah.
939
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,840
Which helps.
I think that Hen is already
940
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,200
married, that that keeps her out
of the BLOB.
941
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:28,760
Now, personally, I do want Buck
and Eddie blobbed up, but that's
942
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,920
like, that's it.
Which is also why I don't want
943
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,040
Mei and Ravi together like D
BLOB.
944
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:38,800
I BLOB out, go out outside of
the BLOB, get D BLOB.
945
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,040
I don't need May and Ravi
fucking up.
946
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,960
I don't get it.
Out, out, out, out.
947
00:52:43,240 --> 00:52:48,800
I will take May and Ravi for
like a couple of episodes.
948
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,120
I would love to see a
conversation of especially
949
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,840
probably Buck and Ravi going,
like, I should probably start
950
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,840
dating again.
And Ravi's like, yeah, maybe me
951
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,480
too.
And then they kind of like, dip
952
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,720
back into the dating pool.
And Robbie, after an episode or
953
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:06,960
two is like, yeah, man, I went
on a few dates.
954
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,440
It's not much, you know, she's
delightful, but she's not for
955
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:11,680
me.
I'm really.
956
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,120
I have you know other other
ideas in mind.
957
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,960
So like that I could do but long
term BLOB like get out of the
958
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:20,480
BLOB, get out of the.
BLOB out of the BLOB.
959
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,520
Now one of the things I am
tentatively crossing my little
960
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:30,120
fingers for that they have set
up nicely with Grant Family
961
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:34,000
begins 9/4.
I would like to see Michael
962
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,480
back.
Recast.
963
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,840
Recast that man because they
they literally gave us young
964
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,480
Michael.
The audience hasn't seen regular
965
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,920
Michael in God like five seasons
now.
966
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,040
Recast that man, bring back
David, bring his husband back
967
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:57,840
because that once again ties
Athena back to the storyline.
968
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,720
It gives her more to do, and if
anyone were going to go through
969
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:05,360
any kind of sexuality crisis as
a grown adult with children and
970
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,200
families and responsibilities,
it might be super cool to have a
971
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:12,520
character who's already done
that to like.
972
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,920
Shepherd.
To shepherd that particular
973
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,440
conversation.
Yep.
974
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,480
Might be might be nice.
Might, might be nice.
975
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,320
And you know what Athena really
needs right now?
976
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,800
She needs a fucking partner.
She does.
977
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:30,800
Athena needs a fucking partner.
It's kind of nice to like,
978
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:35,120
briefly when she briefly had a a
cop partner, yeah.
979
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,200
And then I liked him.
McCluskey.
980
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,600
Yeah, yeah.
I liked him.
981
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,560
Yeah.
But yes, I have to wonder, was
982
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,080
that her last partner?
Is that why she doesn't do
983
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,840
partners maybe?
It might be it kind of makes.
984
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,280
Sense like I couldn't save the
last one.
985
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:53,760
I won't put myself.
I won't.
986
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,400
I won't do that again.
I don't know that she gets to
987
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,160
make that choice as an officer.
She doesn't.
988
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,920
She does not.
Yeah, that was so sad.
989
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,600
But you know, we got young Rick,
we got young Rick Romero.
990
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,960
Detective Romero loved that for
us.
991
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,280
Like it was great.
That was great.
992
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,040
Young Athena is incredible.
I love it.
993
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:18,680
She's phenomenal.
She's phenomenal.
994
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,280
She's so good.
And all of those like interview
995
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,840
segments with the two Athenas in
the liminal space.
996
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:31,600
I just honestly that I think as
we bring it all the way back
997
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,400
around is what bugged.
It's what it's what bumped me
998
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,560
because it was like they were
trying to shoehorn in a stars
999
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,120
metaphor to bring space
together.
1000
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:49,080
Yeah.
I have never heard of stars as a
1001
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,640
metaphor for grief.
I'm sure that somebody has.
1002
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:57,760
I'm sure it works for them.
It didn't hit for me, but like
1003
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,800
so much of this felt like it was
like 3 ideas in a trench.
1004
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:03,800
I know.
I know.
1005
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,200
I mean, I've heard like the
vastness of space, Yeah, but not
1006
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,480
a *.
Yeah, honest to God I think it.
1007
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,160
To me it felt like 3 ideas in a
trench coat.
1008
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,960
Yeah, I know.
And I especially considering
1009
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,520
that that they dedicated it to
like, the memory of Tim Meyer's
1010
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,480
father, like, yeah.
Is this how you process your
1011
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:27,880
grief?
By throwing yourself into outer
1012
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,440
space?
I mean, maybe.
1013
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,120
Like maybe?
Maybe.
1014
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:39,040
Like, maybe, but yeah, this felt
like they wanted young Athena,
1015
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,840
Grant begins.
They wanted space.
1016
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,240
Yeah, he wanted to like, have
fun in space.
1017
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,160
There was no fun in space.
There was only Trisha.
1018
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,960
I think he enjoys these like big
set pieces, like with a fucking
1019
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,400
helicopter.
Like, did we need that?
1020
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,120
We didn't need that.
We.
1021
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,440
Didn't need that.
But I I think he likes these big
1022
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:02,000
set pieces with the fucking
plane and the cruise ship and
1023
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,080
and space right like spending.
Lamp and.
1024
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,640
Yeah.
And it's like, OK, cool, cool,
1025
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,720
cool, cool.
You're having a lot harder time
1026
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:17,480
mushing in the the softer pieces
into that.
1027
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,760
Yeah, to keep the characters
going.
1028
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,120
Yeah.
So I'm going to need you to.
1029
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,680
Put it, but it was pretty
squishy because at this point
1030
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,560
for me, and again, everyone's
experiences is different.
1031
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:37,160
I really enjoyed one and two.
I enjoyed 3, but not as much and
1032
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,600
I enjoyed 4, but it was a it was
different.
1033
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,840
I I really enjoyed young Athena.
The rest of it wasn't didn't hit
1034
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,360
for me.
No, it's like needed to be
1035
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:50,440
somewhere else.
Almost, yeah.
1036
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:52,120
Yeah, needed to be somewhere
else.
1037
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:59,960
Like for me, we are going to
come into 95 and I am basically
1038
00:57:59,960 --> 00:58:04,320
still the 118 staring out over
the water, looking at the whale
1039
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,640
that I could cut out the rest of
it.
1040
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,600
Yeah.
I could cut out the entire space
1041
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
arc and nothing would be
different.
1042
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:20,080
Yeah, well, I think part of it
is that it's so obviously, hey,
1043
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,080
this thing happened in real
life, wouldn't it be funny that
1044
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,840
we did it on the show?
Yeah.
1045
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,400
Which is and what can?
Be fun.
1046
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:30,040
Which can be fun, but it is I
like it when it's a little more
1047
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,480
subtle.
Yeah.
1048
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,040
Like, oh, celebrities did this
in real life and let's make fun
1049
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,400
of Elon Musk.
Like I'm happy to make fun of
1050
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:41,640
Elon Musk all day, but I need
you to like loop it into the
1051
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:46,640
ethos of the show 1st and build
it from there rather than stick
1052
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,520
it on top of the show.
Like it.
1053
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:54,800
I want it to grow organically
from the like meat of the show.
1054
00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:01,360
Yeah, it just, I liked so much
of it, but it just it I'm
1055
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,480
missing the connective tissue.
Yeah.
1056
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:05,440
I'm missing the connective
tissue.
1057
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,640
Like, do I just want to watch
Angela Bassett on my TV screen
1058
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,160
all day?
Sure, sure.
1059
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:11,440
Amazing.
Love it.
1060
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,520
Absolutely.
I really love Athena.
1061
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,920
I love her relationships with
her kids, which I'm hoping we
1062
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,280
will get a chance to dissect a
little bit.
1063
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,560
Now that everyone's a lead,
let's talk about.
1064
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,520
You.
Know, let's talk about yeah.
1065
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,200
RIP.
I hope he's having a lovely day
1066
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:37,080
with his hot wife and his, you
know, burgeoning film career and
1067
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,800
his, you know, lavender oatmeal
lattes.
1068
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,000
I hope he's having a great with
his phone on silent.
1069
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,920
I do know the story.
I hope he's having a lovely day.
1070
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:52,040
Mr. Annie Rude Fisher Roadie, I
like like, let's talk for a
1071
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:56,400
minute about, you know, Athena's
relationship with May now that
1072
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,880
May is like growing as an adult.
And then let's talk about her
1073
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:03,160
relationship with Harry.
Does she have a relationship
1074
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,480
with her son?
Doesn't seem great.
1075
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,200
And what does it look like?
And is she going to do the work
1076
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,280
to fix?
It there was as soon as they
1077
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,600
were rebuilding the house and
they were like no rooms for the
1078
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,320
kids, I was like what is
happening?
1079
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,440
What?
Yeah, I there was a, a really
1080
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:25,400
wonderful meta text post talking
about that.
1081
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,480
We're that there's a a mirror,
right?
1082
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,840
There's a lot of mirrors kind of
in different arcs happening
1083
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,600
right now.
But that one of them is that
1084
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,080
we've seen the Buckleys from the
kids side, and now we're seeing
1085
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:44,400
the Buckleys from the parent
side that Athena lost in her
1086
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:53,760
grief with her oldest daughter,
parentified with her young son
1087
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:59,640
making reckless decisions to try
to get their attention in which
1088
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,480
the sister has taken kind of
soul care and responsibility for
1089
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:08,760
the son because mom is
completely tapped out in her
1090
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,320
grief.
And it's like we, we were so
1091
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:17,840
able to vilify the Buckley
parents as they deserve and to
1092
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,920
empathize with Buck and Maddie
about what they were going
1093
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,200
through.
But now we're seeing it with a
1094
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:29,200
mom who we love.
And it's can Can they get out of
1095
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,200
this cycle?
Or is it doomed to repeat?
1096
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,760
Because Buck's already stepping
in with Harry.
1097
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:42,360
Maddie has stepped in with May
back in Season 5 at dispatch.
1098
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,440
Like that was the kind of
they've already, they've already
1099
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,000
done some of that work.
They've laid some of those bread
1100
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,800
crumbs.
But I'm interested to see if
1101
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,720
Athena's gonna end up making
different choices.
1102
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,280
I hope she does.
Sure.
1103
01:01:55,560 --> 01:02:00,080
I think 1 issue for me is always
do you think the writers are
1104
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,080
that good 'cause I don't think
the writers are that good.
1105
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,800
I don't think it's a lovely.
I think it's a lovely idea, and
1106
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:10,040
I love the fandom searching
desperately for any semblance of
1107
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:16,040
meaning.
I have to have faith that these
1108
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:19,320
TV writers who are making more
money than I will ever see in my
1109
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,160
entire life, which isn't saying
much.
1110
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,360
Well, the writers themselves
don't make that much.
1111
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:30,560
No, but still, more than me, I
hope that they will, that they
1112
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,400
at least pretend to love these
characters like we do.
1113
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,960
I don't know.
It's a lack of love.
1114
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,600
I think the I don't know.
I never know what it is.
1115
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,640
It just I don't know, it may be.
It may be you know, time
1116
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:47,960
constraints, network notes.
No network notes.
1117
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,840
Oh boy.
You know, having to write to a
1118
01:02:52,840 --> 01:03:00,440
showrunner's visions whims.
And you know, I think sometimes
1119
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,200
you're deep into it and you
don't always see what everyone
1120
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:05,400
else is saying.
And they're you have to write
1121
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,360
fast.
It's true, although I would like
1122
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,080
to give an enormous shout out to
the 911 writers room, who very
1123
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,040
obviously did a summer rewatch
this year.
1124
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,920
Someone did rewatch the show?
Someone rewatch the show?
1125
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:22,640
I will have to say my that it's
not even a criticism.
1126
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,320
Just like, can we keep that
energy up?
1127
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,960
Because I don't want every
reference to the prior seasons
1128
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,240
to have been in the these three
episodes.
1129
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,920
Yes.
Like, like it's not just they
1130
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,600
just throw everything into this
and be like, that's it.
1131
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,720
That's all we got.
Especially if we're not gonna
1132
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,680
really bring anybody new into
the into the BLOB.
1133
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,640
You've got a lot of lore to work
through.
1134
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,640
Yeah.
They, they, they, they've all
1135
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,240
known each other for some time.
Yeah.
1136
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,600
Like there's there's other
stuff.
1137
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,320
Yeah, like.
I'm I'm really hoping my hopes
1138
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:03,280
for this season other than
always just lock bucket Eddie in
1139
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,760
in the Sue Sylvester closet in
the elevator with the locker
1140
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,480
room.
It's time for them to enter the
1141
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,360
Hurt Locker.
It's time for them to enter the
1142
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,320
Hurt Locker.
I'm, I'm, I'm ready, I'm, I'm in
1143
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,360
support.
Is that they mix up the
1144
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,240
pairings.
I really appreciate that we got,
1145
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,640
you know, Eddie and Chimney, you
know, they had like a tiff in
1146
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,880
the Firehouse and then Chimney
came to Eddie's house and they
1147
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,600
actually got to talk about it.
The fact that Eddie and Hen are
1148
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,440
partners, the fact that Buck and
Robbie are actually talking to
1149
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:37,400
each other, like the fact that
Hen and Athena are besties
1150
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,840
again, that we're getting Buck
and Harry, that we're getting
1151
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:44,120
Eddie and Matt, Eddie and Mae,
like Maddie and Karen.
1152
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,600
I'm really excited to like,
shake the bag a little.
1153
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:51,720
Yeah.
Like it's as much as I love, you
1154
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:56,560
know, Buck and Eddie and Hen and
Chimney and Chimney and Maddie
1155
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:01,480
and Hen and Karen and, you know,
like I love them I do.
1156
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,600
And also shake the bag.
Yeah I just, I I don't want to
1157
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:09,400
see any more posts that are like
it's the 5th episode and Buck
1158
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:14,560
and Eddie aren't talking like
it's been like 2 canonical days.
1159
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,240
It's been like 2 canonical days
guys.
1160
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,920
Like and that's that is the
problem with the four parter.
1161
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,840
It's like it's been 2 days.
It's been 2 days.
1162
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:28,000
It's been maybe not even that,
maybe a little longer, because I
1163
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:32,040
don't know how the gap was
between the Mark Consuelos
1164
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,320
getting eaten by a whale and
Henanotheena going to space.
1165
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,000
I have no actually I have no
idea.
1166
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,680
I have no concept of a time gap.
You're right.
1167
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:47,040
A week, Say a week.
Episode 1 happened and then
1168
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:52,920
episodes 2-3 and four.
So they were in space for
1169
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,720
probably couple hours.
Yeah, 5 or 6 at best.
1170
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,840
Because like the the debris
field was coming around every 40
1171
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,560
minutes and it came around
twice.
1172
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:08,440
Yeah, once they got to the to
ISS, so like maybe five hours
1173
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:12,280
they were in space that that
that five hours took place over
1174
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,600
3 episodes.
It was almost real time.
1175
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,120
Yeah, so like Buck and Eddie
aren't talking.
1176
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,600
Like when would they have?
When would they?
1177
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,880
When when there was there was no
time for a pee break.
1178
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,560
In in my heart.
In my heart not there's no,
1179
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,160
there's no canonical evidence,
but in my heart they had an
1180
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,920
entire conversation of I know
you're struggling right now
1181
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:38,440
because you tried to drown once
in a situation very much like
1182
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,240
this.
And you're also panicking
1183
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:44,360
because at one point you had
your leg crushed just like this
1184
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,560
and you were terrified that
someone was going to take your
1185
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,320
leg like we're having to do
right now.
1186
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,520
In my heart they had that
conversation, but not in Canon.
1187
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,560
Episode Kodafic can't even fit
into the episode.
1188
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:02,760
There was no time.
No time like we're having to do
1189
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:07,000
post leg amputation talk in like
a post 9/4.
1190
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,000
There's no they can't even have
that conversation.
1191
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,800
You have to set it in the next
episode.
1192
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,000
Yeah, it's just, yeah, it
happened.
1193
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,240
It it happened in like 5 hours
over 3 episodes.
1194
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:20,920
Like, yes, guys, I know.
I'm sorry.
1195
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,680
I'm very sorry.
We do have the trailer for 9/5.
1196
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,480
I am deeply curious as to what
Buck finds in his attic or his
1197
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,360
crawl space that makes his eyes
get that big.
1198
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,320
OK, again, I love I I I want
super silly fun time.
1199
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,960
I wanted roommate buddy.
I'm so annoyed.
1200
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,200
I'm annoyed at lost
opportunities for actors to have
1201
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,000
fun on this show.
And I get it.
1202
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,720
Like I want, I ship it to hell
and back, I get it.
1203
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,560
That's fine.
But I it is the missed
1204
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,400
opportunity of the actors having
a good time together.
1205
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:59,280
Yeah, and like, roommate buddy
could have been fun and now
1206
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,080
we're like in another fucking
house.
1207
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,720
Yeah, another house, another
gigantic set piece.
1208
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:10,440
Why set piece the only and again
I am I don't think I'm going to
1209
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,960
Apollo dodgeball but I'm because
the opportunity has passed now
1210
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:15,800
that the space debris is gone,
but.
1211
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,920
I don't.
Think I'm crossing everything I
1212
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,439
possibly can now that Buck has a
house we got to burn down South
1213
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,399
Bedford.
Listen, accidents happen.
1214
01:08:25,399 --> 01:08:29,960
That electrical could be bad.
Yeah, maybe there's a gas main
1215
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,600
somewhere.
Houses have blown up for less on
1216
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,319
this show.
Houses have burned up for this.
1217
01:08:34,399 --> 01:08:36,479
That lab gym is not that far
away.
1218
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,880
That lab gym is not that far
guys.
1219
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:44,880
I feel like what he's going to
find is like another raccoon or
1220
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,960
a rat or something in the attic
or a doll.
1221
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,120
I mean, if he's moving into a
house, it's either absolutely
1222
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,479
empty or the previous owners
have left something behind.
1223
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,600
Yeah, they've left something
behind 100%.
1224
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,000
There's there's an attic or a
crawl space and something fell
1225
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,960
over or like it's a raccoon.
It's gonna be a raccoon.
1226
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,279
All of restaurants favorite Co
star the raccoon.
1227
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:05,720
I was gonna say I'd be really
fact.
1228
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,800
I actually think it'd be funny
if it was another raccoon just
1229
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:09,000
for a call back.
Yes.
1230
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:15,160
Summer rewatch.
Summer rewatch baby I what I
1231
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,160
don't like so far and again this
is the like I need the phantom
1232
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,000
to stop looking at like 3
seconds of a trailer and being
1233
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,840
like this is what's going to
happen in the season.
1234
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:28,399
Like who fucking knows man.
My only like addendum to that is
1235
01:09:28,399 --> 01:09:32,840
in the three seconds of footage.
Like what?
1236
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:37,399
Another boring house, like
Maddie's first apartment with
1237
01:09:37,399 --> 01:09:39,479
that staircase.
Like how cute was that
1238
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,960
apartment?
God I love that like.
1239
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,520
And and hidden Karens house
actually has some character.
1240
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,960
It looks lived in and I know
it's a blank space right like
1241
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,760
this is a blank house.
He's moving in, but you can tell
1242
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,240
by the architecture that it's.
Boring.
1243
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,080
It's boring.
It's a boring house.
1244
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,840
I hope.
I hope parts of it are fun.
1245
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:00,280
I hope they make it fun.
I hope I.
1246
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:01,680
Hope they make it.
I hope they make.
1247
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,240
I hope there's something in
there that we've just seen, like
1248
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:09,640
one wall, but it's beige and I
didn't see any like interesting
1249
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,960
anything in it.
I was like they just found like
1250
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,360
a boring house.
They just made a.
1251
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:19,120
I'm hoping a little hallway.
I'm hoping that like it pans out
1252
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,480
and there's some actual
architecture, because Los
1253
01:10:21,480 --> 01:10:25,480
Angeles has some really adorable
1920s, thirties, 40s houses.
1254
01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:30,120
Yes it does.
And like please make please make
1255
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,400
it interesting.
I'm so tired of beige fucking
1256
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,160
set.
The houses of like 1980s sitcoms
1257
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:40,200
were so lived in and so
beautiful and like homey and
1258
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,240
let's.
Talk about the fucking friend's
1259
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,520
apartment.
Friend's apartment was like
1260
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,000
full.
Of stuff that you would never
1261
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,560
even look at, but it was just in
the background.
1262
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:54,560
And that inspired so many, so
many people, just the way it was
1263
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:55,600
lived and the way it was
designed.
1264
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,800
Like you.
Never even saw like you there
1265
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,120
was a closet that you never saw
but you knew it was full of
1266
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:03,680
stuff.
And like the bathroom, you never
1267
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,640
even went into their bathroom,
but you knew it was you went in
1268
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,440
stuff.
Twice they had, they had, they
1269
01:11:08,480 --> 01:11:12,680
had checkerboard floor tiles and
a.
1270
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,200
Bathtub like but like.
The door was in New York City,
1271
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:17,320
kind of a new bedroom.
Oh.
1272
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,480
There's something in there like
the cabinets were full and
1273
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:24,000
colorful and it all popped on
screen and like even Eddie's
1274
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,880
house is beige.
Yeah, Eddie's and like.
1275
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,480
Beautiful blue appliances.
You're like, oh, oh, is that
1276
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:31,480
color?
Is it color?
1277
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:32,360
Is it?
Oh, it's gone.
1278
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,480
Eddie's Eddie's famously as the
GIF makers in my in my little
1279
01:11:37,480 --> 01:11:39,760
brain, the GIF maker's on my
phone.
1280
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:44,480
Eddie's evil yellow because it's
so yellow and the lighting in
1281
01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:48,920
there is so yellow.
It is, it is perhaps the most
1282
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,560
yellow.
Anything that happens in Eddie's
1283
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,480
house is just, it is a bitch to
color because it's very, very,
1284
01:11:53,480 --> 01:11:58,000
very yellow.
But no, his beautiful blue oven
1285
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,520
and that light that always comes
in, in the kitchen and the, the
1286
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,640
archway in his like open space
and the iron.
1287
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:11,640
We love the iron, the peephole,
I guess I love, I love the iron
1288
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:13,080
people.
I would like some.
1289
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:14,640
I would like to see some more
set design.
1290
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,200
Yes I would I agree.
Set design that's that's the
1291
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,800
right answer.
Like Bucks lived in that boring
1292
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,920
ass loft for so long.
Gross.
1293
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:23,160
Yeah.
I know.
1294
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,840
Yeah.
But I will say burned down the
1295
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:27,880
South Bedford house.
I need the I you.
1296
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,000
You didn't want to give me buddy
roommates over the summer.
1297
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:31,320
OK, fine.
I will take them.
1298
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,720
We're burning it down.
I'm burning it down.
1299
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:34,960
We're bringing it.
We're bringing it.
1300
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:35,680
We're bringing it back.
I.
1301
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:40,240
Don't think he's your renter so
yeah, he can just leave anytime.
1302
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:44,280
Oh my God that would be Give me
a landlord episode.
1303
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,880
Oh yes, Oh my gosh, landlord.
Because we've never met his
1304
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:49,480
landlord.
So like because Thomas and I
1305
01:12:49,480 --> 01:12:52,680
have met apartment hunting and
there was an apartment that we
1306
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,440
both really, really liked.
But one of the things that
1307
01:12:55,440 --> 01:13:00,120
happens is that a lot of folks
will sort of rent out their
1308
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:05,080
apartments while it's for sale,
or they'll like rent out the
1309
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,520
apartment while the house it's
in is for sale, OK?
1310
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,800
So that could be a thing that
happens to Eddie is that it's
1311
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,240
like he's renting it, but the
landlord sells the house.
1312
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:18,040
Yes, yes.
Yes.
1313
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,200
So then the new buyer is like, I
actually want to move into this
1314
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,560
house.
I bought it, I want to move into
1315
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:24,800
it.
You have to leave.
1316
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,120
Yeah.
And then it can be an entire
1317
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,800
thing about Ravi because he is a
landlord.
1318
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:36,320
That is his major crime.
And hey, hey, hey, hey, that's
1319
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,880
right.
So like talking about like the
1320
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,720
rental market and what it's like
in Los Angeles and you know, Oh
1321
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,000
my God, housing and how do you
do it has.
1322
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,680
To bring his own fridge.
Like Buck doesn't have a fridge.
1323
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:49,560
Los Angeles?
Los Angeles doesn't have
1324
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:50,760
fridges.
I wrote a fic about it.
1325
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,640
It sucks.
Just OK.
1326
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:54,920
No, but Buck doesn't have a
fridge because he left.
1327
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,840
Hold on, hold on.
Because he left the loft, he
1328
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,120
didn't bring a fridge to Eddie's
house.
1329
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,480
Now he's leaving Eddie's house.
He doesn't have a fridge.
1330
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,720
I mean, it depends.
It depends.
1331
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:08,040
Did he, did he purchase that
house or is he still, is he
1332
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,040
still renting?
Because no.
1333
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,600
Here's the other thing about the
landlord episode.
1334
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:17,400
Evan Buckley, The man with a
notoriously terrible credit
1335
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,720
score.
Canonically terrible credit.
1336
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,600
Score I know which I don't
believe either.
1337
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,640
Firefighters make a decent
amount of money, especially with
1338
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,080
overtime.
Yeah, in theory he should be
1339
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,920
fine, but he's apparently got I
don't.
1340
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,160
OK, here's my here's my thing
about it.
1341
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,640
It's not that he has bad credit,
it's that he has no credit.
1342
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:41,040
Fair.
It's not that he's been making a
1343
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,760
ton of money and like spending
all this whatever and being late
1344
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,840
on his payments, it's that he
probably didn't get a credit
1345
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:49,880
card until like a couple of
years ago.
1346
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,880
Fair.
Yeah, bad credit and no credit
1347
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:54,800
are different.
Yes, bad credit and no credit
1348
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:55,760
are different.
He doesn't.
1349
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:57,480
Have a student loan.
He didn't go to college.
1350
01:14:57,480 --> 01:14:59,680
No, he didn't go to college.
He.
1351
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,040
Just has a gas credit card.
Pretty.
1352
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:03,360
Much.
Yeah.
1353
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,680
Got to put $100 in the car,
like, let it ride.
1354
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:10,520
It was probably Taylor Kelly
that was like, fuck, you need a
1355
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:11,880
credit card.
And he's like, why?
1356
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,240
I don't want to spend money.
It's like, it's not about that.
1357
01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:18,320
Abby probably thought it was.
Abby thought it was cute.
1358
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:20,720
Ali didn't stick around long
enough to note.
1359
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,160
So in my heart it was Taylor
Kelly that like convinced, like
1360
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:27,960
taught him what, you know, like
an intro credit card is and how
1361
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,560
you can what's the a secured
credit card where you kind of
1362
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,680
like put the money down on it so
that it helps you build that
1363
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,760
credit.
So his credit is maybe four
1364
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:41,920
years old at this point, which
can help explain how that man
1365
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,080
got a mortgage with his terrible
credit.
1366
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,200
Insane.
Because Eddie, probably.
1367
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,320
He's got Ava loan.
He should have Ava loan.
1368
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:57,880
He's renting, but he would have
access to a VA loan.
1369
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,960
Yeah, so like there, there,
there.
1370
01:16:02,440 --> 01:16:05,920
That's a great like B plot to
one of these episodes is like
1371
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:07,600
they fucking sold the house I
live in.
1372
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,040
What are we going to do?
Yeah, yeah, I'll take that.
1373
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:12,480
I'll take that over fucking
space.
1374
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,520
I'll take that over space.
Let's see.
1375
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,960
I'm also crossing every finger
that the season we get a bottle
1376
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,240
episode.
Oh I love a bottle episode.
1377
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,440
I would love to see a bottle
episode.
1378
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,640
Yeah.
I would love to see a bottle
1379
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:31,440
episode options options include.
I would love in my imagination
1380
01:16:31,440 --> 01:16:32,800
the fick that I will never
write.
1381
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:40,080
The Firehouse is probably around
some like warehousey district
1382
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:44,400
and in my heart there is a
sample sale because there are
1383
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,240
sample sales and because of the
sample sale.
1384
01:16:47,440 --> 01:16:52,000
The line for the sample sale is
going up and down the sidewalk
1385
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:57,320
in front of the Bay because
there's like 3 or 400 people in
1386
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:02,120
front of the of the thing and
they refuse to move because it's
1387
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,880
like it's the sample sale.
It's like a wedding dress sample
1388
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:11,320
sale or like whatever but they
get they locked in because they
1389
01:17:11,480 --> 01:17:14,640
like it's the because the sample
sale line is like blocking them.
1390
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,080
OK.
So it's just a day trap in the
1391
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:18,560
Firehouse.
OK.
1392
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:24,440
I would also take a day of like
the physical exam at the Academy
1393
01:17:24,440 --> 01:17:26,840
when they're doing that, like
the Lone Star thing where they
1394
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,000
take that 14 minute test.
Yep.
1395
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,960
Like over and over again.
I would love to see an episode
1396
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:34,600
in that room.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
1397
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,520
Also because they'd be all hot
and sweaty.
1398
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:37,960
They'd be all hot and sweaty,
all of them.
1399
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,520
Every single one of them.
I'd be in line.
1400
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:45,880
I also cross my fingers a lot
for for what I'm affectionately
1401
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,520
calling wine night.
Oh yes, everyone, everyone wants
1402
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:52,800
wine night.
Which is any combination of, but
1403
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:58,880
must include the nucleus of
Karen, Maddie and Eddie.
1404
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,920
OK.
Anybody if like, if Chim's in on
1405
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,160
it, if hens in on it, like
whatever.
1406
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:09,600
But it has to be the core of
Karen, Maddie and Eddie.
1407
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,520
Yes, got it.
I I because we got Karen and we
1408
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,200
got Karen and Maddie in early
season 9.
1409
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:19,120
Late season 8 we got Karen, Henn
and Eddie.
1410
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:21,240
Yep, we're.
Just going to put our hands
1411
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:22,520
together.
Yes.
1412
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:24,600
Going to put our hands together.
Yeah.
1413
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:26,240
I need it.
I want it.
1414
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:30,160
I feel like that's a likelihood
down the line that feels
1415
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:33,600
probable.
It feels like a new and
1416
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,680
interesting dynamic in a season
where they desperately need new
1417
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,120
and interesting dynamics.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1418
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,560
Yeah, because we are.
Run out of money to do
1419
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,520
disasters.
Yes, my God, that's the cool
1420
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,440
thing about bottle episodes.
They're cheap as hell.
1421
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:49,520
That's the point.
It's that's how they were
1422
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,720
invented.
Literally the point.
1423
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:55,200
Yep, you ran out of time, you
run out of money.
1424
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,840
You put them in a room and you
make them talk.
1425
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:58,520
Yeah, surprise.
Are you actors?
1426
01:18:58,520 --> 01:18:59,700
You get to prove it today.
Mm.
1427
01:18:59,700 --> 01:19:01,080
Hmm.
Yep.
1428
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,880
Yep.
So I'm just, I'm very interested
1429
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:08,840
and also as someone who has
observed, I'm so excited.
1430
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:10,120
To see.
I hope it's good.
1431
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:11,960
Like what they do?
Yeah.
1432
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:14,760
Even if it's just to see the
parade.
1433
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:16,280
I think it's going to look
great.
1434
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,320
I think it's going to look
amazing and like, you know,
1435
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,880
because they put out the casting
call and these are their own
1436
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,080
costumes.
Yeah, I think it's, I think it's
1437
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:26,760
going to look great.
This is their own regalia.
1438
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:32,040
I'm so excited to see the the
folks from Los Angeles show out.
1439
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:37,840
Yeah, except, yeah, I'm, I'm
very much looking forward to at
1440
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,280
least the the visuals of this
episode.
1441
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,320
Yes, I'm very much looking
forward to the visuals.
1442
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,560
I'm, I'm not going to speculate,
meta, whatever, who is going to
1443
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,000
be involved, how it's going to
go down.
1444
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,200
I just want to see it.
I need to see Athena versus the
1445
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,000
giant pumpkin.
I'm actually really looking
1446
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,080
forward to the pumpkin, so I
don't care what happens with it.
1447
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,040
I think it's going to look so
silly.
1448
01:19:58,040 --> 01:19:58,880
I'm.
Very excited.
1449
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:03,280
It's so good, silly.
Silly, silly woo woo is really
1450
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,200
what I'm looking for.
So good.
1451
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,560
I don't care if Shannon is
involved.
1452
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:11,960
Like I'm not going to waste my
time trying to dissect the
1453
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:15,160
episode before it happens.
No, like let me just watch it.
1454
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,160
I just want to watch it you.
I don't need to spoil it for
1455
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,800
myself before it happens.
Yeah, it's true.
1456
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,160
I why do why?
Why would I do that?
1457
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:27,440
I want to enjoy the watch.
It's don't tell me how the book
1458
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:29,160
ends.
I want to read it.
1459
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:33,160
Why would I?
Why would I unravel the entire
1460
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,560
episode before it's in my
eyeballs?
1461
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,080
I will say I know that you don't
want to unravel the eyeballs,
1462
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:46,120
but if it does turn out to be an
Eddy centric episode, then not
1463
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:49,560
calling it Diaz de Los Muertos
was a missed opportunity.
1464
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,720
Yes, it would be a missed
opportunity.
1465
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,440
That is a very funny typo that
someone did.
1466
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:00,720
Yes, it's great.
I do think it's funny that there
1467
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,040
was a typo in the entire fandom
Was like like OK that's why you
1468
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,640
guys need to fucking chill.
Yeah, we do need to.
1469
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,040
Can't.
You cannot build an episode out
1470
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:13,320
of a typo y'all?
My God, just simmered down.
1471
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,520
We long for community.
We do long for community, but we
1472
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:22,200
also long for content, which is
why this episode is an important
1473
01:21:22,480 --> 01:21:25,160
app that is so.
Funny you long for content.
1474
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:27,680
There has never been more
content on Earth.
1475
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,280
I know.
Never in the history of humanity
1476
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:36,080
has there been more content.
You would explode the brain of a
1477
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,160
14th century anybody with the
amount of content.
1478
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,920
Correct.
They would Louis the 14th would
1479
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:46,240
die with the amount of content.
This is true.
1480
01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:50,040
This is true.
We just long for the very
1481
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,680
specific content and just hope
that we don't have to be the
1482
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:55,800
ones to make it.
Isn't that also interesting?
1483
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:57,640
Which we can also wrap this
episode up too.
1484
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:02,080
It's like there's so much
content and yet every single
1485
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:07,000
person wants such a hyper
specific bit of content that is
1486
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:11,160
only for them.
Can't handle the episode not
1487
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:16,120
being exactly what each person
wants it to be just for them.
1488
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:21,920
And I will say on that note, in
the fandom is a community, you
1489
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:23,680
have to bring something to the
potluck.
1490
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:29,240
It is in fact true and correct.
If you are looking for a
1491
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:33,480
specific piece of content, write
it and you do it and and you
1492
01:22:33,480 --> 01:22:36,680
cannot pay for it.
Like I can't fan art, right?
1493
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:40,360
I can't draw worth beats.
Not one bit of fan art's coming
1494
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,400
from me.
But I can, I have, I have paid
1495
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:47,400
artists for Commission.
I have traded artists for FIC
1496
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:52,320
like I have traded for it.
I have, I have paid money for
1497
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,280
it.
So if you cannot, if you cannot
1498
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:59,960
procure it via, you know, goods
and services, you do in fact
1499
01:22:59,960 --> 01:23:05,560
have to make it yourself.
And it is not unfair of me to
1500
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,120
say that.
No, it's not.
1501
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:12,080
If you want it, you do it.
IA couple like this time last
1502
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:16,760
year was we were on a phone sex
kick in fandom and I was like
1503
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:20,120
man, I want more phone sex and
the answer was I had to write it
1504
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:21,200
myself.
Yeah.
1505
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:25,000
I had to write my own sex thing
because I wanted it and it
1506
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,680
wasn't readily available for me
so I had to do it myself.
1507
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:32,080
A couple months ago for The Big
Bang I was like I there's been 1
1508
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:37,800
mafia like crime AU that's come
across my like come across my
1509
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,320
life and it's wonderful and I
want more.
1510
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,560
So I guess I have to be the one
to do it.
1511
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:47,760
It is not unfair to say that you
have to pick it up.
1512
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:53,480
And even if you can't create, if
it comes down to it, if it comes
1513
01:23:53,480 --> 01:23:56,160
down to I don't know how to
write, I don't know how to, you
1514
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,240
know, to draw.
I can't make gifts, I can't do
1515
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,000
whatever.
Then it is your job as a
1516
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,720
consumer to make creating worth
it.
1517
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,520
Yeah.
Reblog stuff, leave comments on
1518
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,760
fic, talk to your favorite
creators, pay the money where
1519
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:17,200
you can and don't.
This is this is, this is for
1520
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:18,680
free.
This is for free.
1521
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,720
I could actually get in.
I could actually get in big, big
1522
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:21,960
trouble for getting money for
it.
1523
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:24,960
Yeah.
Like we do this because the
1524
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:28,240
creativity forces its way out of
our body.
1525
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,560
And I love that you love it, but
it is not unfair to ask you to
1526
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,520
join the fight.
Yeah, Yup.
1527
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:39,320
So just like next time you want
to get mad about it, open, open
1528
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,960
a program instead.
I promise there are so many
1529
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,120
people out there waiting to
support you.
1530
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:48,000
I promise, whether you want to
start with a drabble that's 100
1531
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,080
words or whether you want to
start with your very first gift
1532
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,720
that you get the video footage
for from someplace.
1533
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,320
And it is also enough just to
like reblog.
1534
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:03,480
Yes, 100% a 1000% that's.
Participating.
1535
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:07,000
That is 100% participating,
particularly on Tumblr.
1536
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,840
Yeah, that's that counts.
That's participating.
1537
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:13,040
You don't have to feel like you
need to do more.
1538
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:18,640
But complaining that something
is not specifically for you?
1539
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:23,200
Yeah, not everything is for you.
Not everything is for you.
1540
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,800
Yeah, not everything is for me
or anybody else.
1541
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Kink, tomato and all that.
Yeah, but you know, Phantom is a
1542
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,640
participatory event in one way
or the other.
1543
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:37,280
It is, and if we stop
participating then it dies.
1544
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:38,280
And that's a bummer.
It does.
1545
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,640
Supernatural is still around
because people participate.
1546
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,120
Teen Wolf is still around
because people participate.
1547
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,520
So if you want 911 to be around,
you kind of have to participate,
1548
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,000
Yep, in some way or the other.
And sometimes that's putting
1549
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,680
kudos on a thick you like and
then reading the next one.
1550
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:58,200
If you reach the end of a fic,
you press the little hard
1551
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:00,920
button.
It'll that that sentiment is
1552
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,560
going on my gravestone OK?
Yeah.
1553
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,280
If you didn't DNF it, it
deserves a kudos.
1554
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:11,280
It's very hard to write fic.
It's so hard.
1555
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:15,720
It's so hard.
Like remember that there are
1556
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,520
people behind all the art that
you love.
1557
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,400
Yeah, real human people.
Real human people.
1558
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,960
So Speaking of that, we love
you.
1559
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:27,240
Or at least I love you.
Emily's, you know, adequate at
1560
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:27,720
best.
She's like.
1561
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,200
Capable of emotions.
I know.
1562
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,400
Sometimes.
Clean your water bottles.
1563
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:35,920
Oh.
My God, clean your water
1564
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,160
bottles.
It's time, it's time.
1565
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:39,920
Take some vitamin D and the big
dark is coming.
1566
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:44,080
Yes, the big dark is coming, or
at least if you're on the the
1567
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,120
north half.
If you're where we are.
1568
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,160
If you're on the north half, the
dark time is coming.
1569
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,240
If you're on the South half,
congratulations.
1570
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:53,280
Sunscreen on.
Yeah, put some sunscreen on,
1571
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:57,600
chapstick, water, hydrate.
Yeah, yeah, get that sunscreen
1572
01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:58,880
on.
It's never too late to start.
1573
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:02,600
It's never too late to start.
Well, yeah, I guess that's our
1574
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,360
latest iteration of 911.
What the fuck?
1575
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,240
Aw golly.
Oh golly.
1576
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,480
And yeah, so I guess thanks for
listening to.
1577
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,200
It's your choice to listen to us
rant.
1578
01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:17,200
We love you, that's what we do.
Hope we've kept you company.
1579
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,960
Yes, on this, on this day of
ranting, I'm excited for the
1580
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:24,640
next episode and I'm excited for
