0:00
It's gonna be 50 degrees all week. Yeah. Should
0:02
we be concerned? Probably. That seems like a bummer.
0:05
Somone do something. What happened to all the, there
0:09
were so many articles like this is going to be
0:11
the coldest winter. I did not see that. Oh. The
0:14
Farmer's Almanac was like it's going to be frigid.
0:17
You love referencing the Farmer's Almanac. I feel
0:20
like it comes up a lot is it just me? Okay it's
0:23
just. Okay Okay funny story so A's parents sent
0:27
us a holiday gift but I finally picked it up
0:30
from the post office yesterday. Okay um there you go. Oh
0:33
okay. Would you like to explain to the audience
0:36
what it is? This is a card that says driver is
0:39
deaf or hard of hearing. Failure to cooperate
0:42
with verbal commands means I am not hearing you
0:46
and it has a little ear with a like. Like the
0:50
slash across the ear. It is the slash but I think
0:53
it's funny because I feel like it's like it doesn't
0:55
look like the traditional like Do not. Yeah.
0:59
Maybe it's the one over in A's country. Quick
1:03
communication tips. Make eye contact when you
1:05
speak. I need my hands to communicate. Front
1:07
restraint only. That's crazy. Very relevant.
1:11
Very relevant, which I never even thought about
1:13
until I got that in the mail yesterday. I cannot
1:16
lip read everything you say. So true. I kind
1:18
of feel like that should just be like a t -shirt,
1:20
a little mini card that you can pass out to people.
1:23
I know. I feel like I need something like this
1:25
just to hand out to people. I love that they
1:27
like saw this somewhere and picked it up. Yes.
1:30
It looks like they found it at like whatever
1:33
their version of the DMV is. And then on the
1:36
backside, roadside communication card. And it
1:39
has images and like words to describe different
1:43
road violations, presumably so that they could
1:47
point at them? Yeah so if you get pulled over
1:49
the police will hopefully say hey you did this
1:52
like and there's like a picture of someone speeding.
1:55
And my personal favorite is poor driving. There's
1:59
one that just says poor driving. Love that. You suck
2:01
at driving. How does this make you feel? I thought
2:04
it was hilarious and it also helps that they
2:07
got me a lot of other thoughtful gifts. If it
2:11
was just that, that'd be insane. Oh my god, okay,
2:13
so I wanted to tell you that I was doing research
2:15
last night about Justina Machado. Yeah. Because
2:20
I was editing the last episode, and I was like,
2:24
I think she's in Desperate Housewives. Not true.
2:26
Feels like she should have been, though. But
2:27
you know what she did do in 2021? What? A Lifetime
2:31
original movie called Switched Before Birth.
2:36
About... Two moms that instead of it being their
2:39
babies, it's their embryos. Yeah, their embryos
2:42
are switched and they carry each other's babies.
2:44
That's crazy. We should watch it in a bonus episode.
2:46
I was like, I was gagged. I wonder if she was
2:49
like, isn't this so funny? Because I already
2:51
kind of did this. Have you heard about the Na'vi
2:53
sign language in Avatar? You sent me a video
2:56
about it. Yes. And that video was really earnest
2:59
and beautiful. And so I don't want to make fun
3:01
of it. I hate the Avatar movies so much, and
3:04
I've seen all of them. Was the Na'vi sign language
3:07
in the newest one, or was it in the others? It's
3:09
in the second one, too. I don't believe it's
3:11
in the first one. I saw the second one years
3:14
ago. I saw it in theaters. It's the Way of Water,
3:16
right? Yeah. So they sign to the whales, but
3:20
then the whales speak back to them. Sure, because
3:22
whales can't sign. Well, they also can't talk.
3:25
So, like, I don't know what's going on here.
3:27
Are the whales deaf in Avatar? No, they're not.
3:30
That's what is confusing. So I don't really understand
3:33
why they need it. But it is a full language.
3:37
Yes, and it was created by a Deaf person, right?
3:39
Yes, which is very cool. I just hate the movies.
3:42
They're so corny. And so, like, and I honestly
3:44
had forgotten how much sign language there is
3:47
in the second one. And there is a lot in the
3:49
third one. Did you see the third one? My boyfriend
3:52
has forced me to watch all of them. And how was
3:55
the signing? Did it look anything similar to
3:57
American Sign Language? There was only one sign
3:59
that I caught that was the same, and it was the
4:02
sign for fine. Okay. My problem is every time
4:05
I think of Avatar now, I think of that episode
4:07
of How to with John Wilson. Did you ever watch
4:10
it? No. Okay. There's one episode of How to with
4:13
John Wilson where he goes to an Avatar fan group.
4:16
And then it's basically like a mental health
4:18
group for Avatar fans. And they speak Na'vi to
4:21
each other. And they have all blue cake and blue
4:24
food. It's awesome. Is this real? Yes. Oh. Anyway,
4:28
should we get to the show? Yeah, please. The
4:43
first thing I wrote down about this episode is
4:45
not the planking. It's upsetting. Well, first
4:48
of all, this is season one, episode 12, titled
4:51
the Tempest, and it was released January
4:53
10th, 2012. So I think this is past planking
4:57
era. It has to be. Because they filmed it, and
5:00
then I think by the time it aired, planking was
5:02
kind of dead. It also was just so cringe to watch.
5:05
Yeah, Bay and Emmett are doing a planking photo
5:09
shoot in many places. In many places, including
5:12
a bus stop that a poor woman is trying to use
5:15
to sit down. And she can't sit down because Bay
5:18
and her Mission Hills ass has come down, never
5:21
taken a bus in her life probably, and is using
5:23
it to plank. I liked when she planked on the
5:26
escalator. That was good. That was good. I wanted
5:28
to know how they did that. I mean, it was probably
5:31
turned off. It must have been. When they took
5:33
the picture. But I wonder canonically in the
5:36
story, was it turned off or did she really? I
5:38
like to think that her body, very still body,
5:41
was just like going down the escalator, really,
5:44
really still. And then Emmett took a picture.
5:47
Me too. Yeah, and then they're making art and
5:49
also making out in Emmett's room and Melody storms
5:53
in. I also just want to say I do have a photo
5:56
shoot of myself Tebowing from 2012. Sorry, what
6:00
is Tebowing? Like Tim Tebow, the football player.
6:03
I was homeschooled in 2012. You're right. Okay,
6:06
so he would do the thing where he would kneel
6:08
on the ground. Oh, but isn't that the thinker
6:12
or whatever? That's under your chin. Tebow would
6:15
do this. Okay. And so I have a photo shoot. And
6:18
do you have it on you now for me to view? I think
6:21
I do. Okay, great. Give me a second, guys. And
6:24
can we blur your face and put one on the Instagram?
6:26
I don't think you can see my face, actually.
6:28
There, there you go. Oh, wow. I'm wearing an
6:31
Aeropostale long -sleeve shirt, blue skinny jeans,
6:35
polka dot socks, and I am Tebowing on my family's
6:38
living room floor. And someone took a picture
6:41
of me doing this. I don't know who. Thank you
6:43
for being vulnerable and sharing. It's okay,
6:46
because you can't see my face, which makes me
6:47
feel better. Let me get to my notes. That could
6:49
be anybody Tebowing. Then Bay and Emmett are
6:51
making out in his room, and Melody walks in on
6:54
them smooching to confront Emmett for dropping
6:57
AP Bio. And instead, he wants to take speech
7:01
therapy. Yeah, it's the only time they offer
7:03
speech therapy. Bad. I wish I took AP Bio in
7:06
high school. That's one of my biggest regrets.
7:08
And Bay is just good enough at signing now to
7:11
understand that they're talking about her. Yeah,
7:13
in front of her. In front of her. Melody needs
7:16
to stop doing that. I know. And then Bay leaves.
7:19
Bay is like, oops, I'm gonna get out of here.
7:22
And at the Kennish house, Kathryn is looking
7:24
smoking hot. We also get a Mad Men reference.
7:27
Are you still watching Mad Men? A little bit,
7:29
but I'm on my Dance Moms thing right now. Yeah.
7:31
Mad Men's not really a comfort show. Well, it
7:34
kind of is for me, but I'm deeply mentally ill.
7:36
I just really need to concentrate when I watch
7:39
it, and I need to be well in the head. Totally.
7:41
I'm mentally fine, but right now I cannot concentrate
7:44
on something like that. It's kind of more of
7:47
a summer show to me anyway. Ooh, I see that.
7:50
I feel like it's perpetually, like, sweaty there
7:52
and like hot. That's true they're always sweating
7:54
in their suits and loosening their ties. Well
7:56
I don't think air conditioning had been popular.
7:58
What the 1950s? Yeah. Yeah Kathryn is wearing
8:02
a nice dress and high heels and an apron in the
8:06
kitchen. She looks like a 1950s housewife. She
8:08
looked smoking. She looks very hot. And John thinks
8:11
so too and he's flirting with her very intensely
8:14
in front of the children. He says we should bring
8:17
that the next time we go away. Love the implication
8:19
that they're not fucking in the house when we
8:21
know for a fact they are. Right. I just wrote, John.
8:24
She's just dressed up to go meet Tina Choi from
8:27
the Kansas City Herald. Yes. Which we'll get to. But now
8:29
we're at the guest house at Regina's and she's
8:32
making breakfast for once. For once. We were just
8:34
talking about this, what will it take for regina
8:37
to cook for Daphne and turns out what it'll take
8:39
is her wanting to know the tea. Yeah, it's when
8:42
your daughter's best friend is dating your biological
8:45
daughter. That's when she'll make breakfast.
8:47
And she's like, why didn't you tell me? I think
8:50
as they're talking, it becomes more clear. Because
8:53
she's kind of like, Daphne, Emmett's like your
8:55
only friend. You have no other friends. So you
8:58
must be really lonely right now. That's kind
9:00
of what she says. Yeah, and she's right. And
9:03
she's right. Yeah, poor Daphne. She's not a girl's
9:06
girl. She's not a girl's girl. She doesn't have
9:08
a girl space friends. Well, she tries. She's
9:11
about to try. She's about to try. It's going
9:13
to go badly. Toby and Wilke are making a music
9:15
video and they're talking about renting a capybara.
9:18
Who is behind the marketing of capybaras in the
9:22
last decade? They were huge in like the early
9:24
2000s. Were they? No, like someone discovered
9:27
the word capybara and the fact that they were
9:29
the world's largest rodent. And everyone wanted
9:32
to see or hear about them. I remember it was
9:34
in the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, too. They
9:36
mentioned capybaras. Okay, so I thought that
9:38
capybaras were just coming in now in the mid
9:42
-2020s, but turns out they're having a resurgence
9:44
right now. Interesting. That little Labubu knockoff
9:48
thing that Paolo got me for Christmas is literally
9:50
dressed up as a capybara. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's
9:53
that Glen Powell photo that did it. And then
9:55
Emmett shows up at the Kennish house. In the
9:57
morning, and Daphne's like, oh my god, deja vu,
10:00
what are you doing here? But he's not there for
10:02
Daphne. He said, nice to see you, I'm checking
10:04
on Bay. We were discussing, it's been a minute,
10:07
but how the Kennishes were so freaked out about
10:09
the motorcycle, and then they just kind of let
10:11
it go. They didn't let it go. They bought Daphne
10:14
a fucking car. Right. That was their final move.
10:17
They never bring up the fact that she won't have
10:19
to ride with Emmett anymore. But it feels like
10:22
- In Kathryn's mind, she's like, well, if we
10:24
buy her a car. And it seems like it's a rule.
10:27
Because Daphne could just hop on the motorcycle
10:29
and go to school if she wants. Maybe she just
10:31
feels obligated to use the car now that they've
10:33
given it to her. So she's like, well, I have
10:35
to use this ugly Volvo now. It's so ugly. Bay
10:38
comes out. Yeah, and Daphne flees the scene.
10:41
Daphne's like, I'll see you both at school. Throwback,
10:44
she's still doing cooking classes. Yes. She's
10:46
going to be at Buckner a lot this episode. And
10:48
Emmett's there to check on Bay after what happened
10:51
with Melody. He said, yeah, my mom yelled at
10:53
me because I signed up for speech. And Bay is
10:55
thrilled to hear that he signed up for speech.
10:57
She's thrilled about it. On top of the world.
10:59
And he goes, I don't know why my mom's mad. Which
11:02
is such a teenage boy thing to say. He definitely
11:05
knows, too. He knows why she's mad. But he's
11:07
like, I don't know what her problem is. And then
11:09
he's like, and by the way, she hates you. She
11:12
hates you. but who cares? And Bay's like I care.
11:15
Yeah. I want her like me and then she lists all
11:17
the reasons why it's important like. She's very
11:20
tied to Melody it's true. Yeah like it's her biological
11:23
mom's best friend, she also coaches Daphne's basketball
11:26
team, it's her boyfriend's mother. Yeah. Like I
11:30
want her like me she's in my life now. She also
11:33
Melody should like Bay a little bit more because
11:36
she has the hots for John Kennish. I know. You're
11:39
not really helping yourself, Melody. No. We're
11:41
at Buckner now. And Simone and Daphne start chatting.
11:44
Yeah, they're palling around. We don't know how
11:47
they met, but they're chatting. Off screen. Oh,
11:49
at cooking class. Simone's apparently in the
11:51
cooking class now. Which we never saw. No. In
11:54
the previous episode. Well, she didn't exist.
11:56
She spawned into existence at East West Fest,
11:58
basically. Maiara Walsh just popped up. But they're
12:01
walking side by side in a busy, noisy school.
12:05
And they're not facing each other. Again, Daphne,
12:07
superpowers. Don't know how she's understanding
12:10
them. And this comes up later at the club. Once.
12:13
Acknowledges it once. And I was like, this environment
12:15
is my worst nightmare. Do we think that Daphne
12:18
is just lying all the time? Do we think that
12:20
she's just smiling and nodding? No, because she's
12:22
having full conversations back at them. She knows
12:24
what they're saying. Damn. And then they walk
12:26
up and Bay is there and Simone is like... How's
12:29
that dog, Mr. Waffles? Bay's like, well, he died
12:33
last summer. There's not a single photo of Mr.
12:35
Waffles in the Kennish house. I think they just
12:37
dropped that line to show that Simone hasn't
12:39
really been in Bay's life for at least a year.
12:42
But if you're going to make a fictional dead
12:43
dog, at least build a backstory for him. Show
12:46
me a cute dog. Yeah, show me the dog. Rest in
12:48
peace, Mr. Waffles. Daphne and Simone are becoming
12:50
buddy buddy. But Daphne is trying to forge a
12:54
new life for herself. She's like, well, if I
12:56
can't have Emmett as my BFF, I'll get a new one.
12:59
I'll get this suspicious girl that everyone keeps
13:01
side -eyeing. Yeah and then Kathryn is meeting
13:04
with that journalist and the journalist is like
13:06
surprise it's a book. I want to write a book about
13:08
your absolutely horrible horror story life. Yeah
13:12
the way she's selling it to Kathryn she should
13:14
have a little bit more tact. Not tactful at
13:17
all she's like come on let me exploit you please.
13:20
She's like it's such a good sales pitch like
13:22
you the hero or like i'm gonna make so much money
13:26
from this by exploiting you please. And Kathryn
13:29
rightfully is like bye, I'm leaving. Now Toby and Wilke
13:32
have resorted to working at the car wash. Which
13:34
they should have done a while back, but it seems
13:36
like they mentioned they aren't making a lot
13:38
of money. Minimum wage back then was, what, like
13:40
$2 an hour? The only thing I noted was Wilke's
13:43
muscles are crazy. Comically larger than Toby's.
13:47
Who looks like that? He looks 30 years old. Yeah,
13:51
and he was young doing this show. His muscles
13:54
are bigger than Toby's entire body. I think...
13:57
Austin Butler had so much early success on, like,
13:59
teen shows because he had a young -looking face,
14:02
but the genetics of, yeah, like, a 30 -year -old
14:06
man. But him at the car wash, he's a foot taller
14:09
than Toby. Well, they've got different builds.
14:11
Also, it's so funny because I think Lucas Grabeel's
14:13
significantly older than him. But they both,
14:16
yeah, he looks... Like 17. And Daphne is playing
14:20
pickup basketball with Simone. Yeah, it's b -ball
14:23
time. I kind of tuned out during this basketball
14:25
scene because you know I don't care. But if you
14:27
want to give your review, feel free. Yeah, Daphne
14:29
goes for a layup and she... pushes Simone to
14:33
the ground, but in a way that is, I think, fine.
14:36
And Simone is like, nice job. Want to come to
14:38
the club with me? You can come, but you need
14:40
a fake. And Daphne's like, yeah, yeah, no problem.
14:43
Totally. And then a basketball coach from Buckner
14:47
approaches her. Wonder what that's about. Melody
14:49
is on the Kennish property and bumps into Bay while
14:53
she's holding a giant painting, a little cumbersome
14:56
to sign with. But she approaches Melody and says,
14:59
I didn't make Emmett sign up for speech therapy
15:01
just so you know, like that was all his doing.
15:03
Which is kind of a lie. That's true she was very
15:08
happy to hear that he signed up so she is kind
15:10
of encouraging him. And like their first real
15:12
day hanging out she did ask him would you ever
15:15
maybe speak? That is true. And he did tell her
15:18
no but I don't want to blame Bay for it. I don't
15:23
want to blame Bay because she is not actively
15:25
changing his schedule. Bay says, I didn't ask.
15:28
I didn't ask Emmett to sign up for speech therapy. And Melody
15:30
voices, you didn't have to. And she's right.
15:33
She's right, but she's being so mean to Bay.
15:35
She's being so mean. She's using, she's taking
15:39
out her feelings about her son on Bay. She's
15:42
being a boy mom. She's being such a boy mom.
15:45
You're so right. Oh, man. Melody, come on. You're
15:49
better than this. I know. Also, in her own home,
15:52
I just wrote the disrespect that Melody's showing
15:54
up and still being mean to her there. Yeah. And
15:56
then she flees to go get her roots done by Regina.
15:59
And Daphne goes to John and is like, the Buckner
16:02
coach wants me to play for them. And he gets
16:05
so serious. So serious. You don't quit your team.
16:09
But really what I think is he committed to the
16:12
team by signing up to coach so he could get closer
16:15
with his daughter. I don't know. I think that's
16:18
part of it, but John also just, like, loves sports
16:21
and all that stuff. And he needs an outlet, like
16:24
Toby says later. Yeah, he does need an outlet.
16:26
So I don't know, because he continues to stay
16:29
on and coach. Yeah, I had mixed feelings about
16:31
this because it'd be different if Daphne's team
16:34
was, maybe they suck, but they were really dedicated
16:37
and they wanted to get better. But as you see
16:39
later on, like, Daphne's team does not give a
16:42
flying fuck about it. No, yeah, I'm on Daphne's
16:44
side here. Yeah, and if this is an opportunity.
16:47
and she wants to play to win, then go for it.
16:49
So then Emmett decides that the best way to handle
16:51
the issues between his mom and his girlfriend
16:54
is to stage a game night. When Bay can still
16:57
barely sign. Stressful. I don't know about you.
17:00
I'm a competitive person. You're a competitive
17:02
person. I would not play board games with someone
17:05
I didn't already have a steady relationship with.
17:08
Yeah. I just don't see it going well. I also
17:11
think Melody's a competitive person. Yeah. Also,
17:14
spoiler, they play Monopoly, which is like -
17:16
The worst game. The worst game if you're trying
17:18
to form friendships, not ruin them. It's a long,
17:22
boring game. It's hard to sign. And it usually
17:25
ends in someone crying. That's true. Every time
17:28
I played with my cousins growing up, someone
17:29
cried. I think I've learned about myself that
17:32
I'm not very competitive at board games. I think
17:35
one thing about me is I'm not that good at board
17:37
games. And I'm learning this about myself, especially
17:40
being married to someone who really likes board
17:42
games. I lose constantly. I played Catan the
17:46
entire break. I did not win one game. Wow. I've
17:49
never actually played Catan. Anyway, yeah. So
17:51
they're going to play board games and that's
17:54
going to go badly. Yeah. As we know. And then
17:57
Daphne shows up again at Buckner. For like the
18:00
second time. Oh, it's not cooking class day.
18:02
She just shows up. Yeah, she just shows up to
18:04
be like, Wilke will know where I can get a fake
18:06
ID. And then he goes, let me think. Oh, wait.
18:09
Cha ching. I have a great idea. I will be making
18:12
them myself. Is that? I feel like they're not
18:15
easy to make. I don't think they're easy to make
18:17
either. I wouldn't know anything about it because
18:20
it's illegal. Yeah, I would never do something
18:22
like that. Never had any experience with something
18:24
like that. But. They literally just like order
18:27
a bunch of cardstock and then later they go on
18:29
YouTube. Like him and Toby go on YouTube and
18:32
there's YouTube videos on how to make them. I
18:34
feel like it's a little more complicated than
18:36
that. You would think. Also, you need to take
18:38
like a very specific photo. I've heard. I've
18:41
heard. Allegedly, you need to take a photo that
18:43
looks like an ID photo. He doesn't ask Daphne
18:45
for that. That's true. Where'd they get a picture
18:47
of her? And then also, it needs to scan. Don't
18:51
they scan them? Yes. Maybe back then. I was going
18:54
to say, is that new technology? That might be
18:56
new, because now they scan them. Maybe Kansas
18:58
City isn't. But yeah, maybe back then, they just
19:01
looked at it. But she wants to go to a bar, not
19:03
a liquor store. Right, they're just going to
19:04
glance at it. Yeah, so Wilke's like, great,
19:07
this is how I'm going to pay for our capybara.
19:10
How much is a capybara, do you think? Well, they're
19:13
renting it. They said $400. Oh, and you knew
19:15
the price. You definitely can't purchase one.
19:17
Good. Although I guess the person they're renting
19:19
it from technically purchased it. Well, maybe
19:22
they have them in, like, a nice, respectable
19:24
place. That's such a nice thought. Like an animal
19:27
sanctuary for capybaras. Okay. I don't think
19:29
that's where it's coming from. All right. It's
19:32
interesting how, in this episode, there's, like,
19:35
a callback kind of to the pilot episode where
19:38
Bay gets in trouble for having a fake ID and
19:41
using it to try to buy beer. And they're so upset
19:44
with her. And then here's Daphne, who at the
19:46
time was positioned as like this sunny, wholesome
19:49
alternative to Bay. And she's doing much worse.
19:52
And she's literally like very casually, I would
19:55
like a fake ID. And she drags her brother into
19:58
this illegal activity. And she hears about her
20:01
brother and Wilke making them. She's like, great,
20:04
that's amazing. Love it. And Bay goes, you guys
20:06
are the stupidest people alive. Yeah, she's not
20:10
getting involved. And she comes to Kathryn
20:12
for advice about how to make Melody like her.
20:16
And that's when it's revealed that literally
20:18
none of the Kennishes know that she's dating Emmett.
20:22
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Does it? It's
20:25
never come up. The Kennishes are like 80s parents.
20:27
Like, where do they think their children are
20:29
all the time? Yeah, you're right. I have no idea.
20:32
Did they think Bay's just like out by herself?
20:34
Because she is with Emmett all the time. They're
20:36
doing a planking photo shoot. They're fully dating.
20:39
Regina already knows. Regina wouldn't have mentioned
20:41
it to Kathryn? Toby knows. Yeah, I don't know.
20:44
Anytime I was dating someone in high school,
20:46
I was fully like... And here is my new boyfriend.
20:50
Oh, I kept that to myself. Oh, okay. Kathryn
20:53
maybe should have, like, picked up hints. But
20:55
from her reaction, she's genuinely surprised.
20:58
Yeah. And she's like, you and Emmett? Deaf? You?
21:02
Hearing? Which she doesn't actually bring it
21:04
up. That's not why she's surprised. She's like...
21:06
Well, I thought that was Daphne's boyfriend.
21:08
Everyone just fucking thinks that Emmett's Daphne's
21:10
boyfriend. I know. And Bay's like for the love
21:13
of God. Can someone imagine us being compatible?
21:16
I know. Kathryn's supportive. And Bay asks
21:19
for some advice. And Kathryn says, just be
21:21
yourself. But also. Well, Bay says, I don't want
21:24
to be myself. I want to be you. Yeah. Which is
21:27
really sweet. And then Kathryn's like, well,
21:31
be less sarcastic and bring artichoke dip then,
21:33
which is a great tip, I think. Great tip. You
21:35
should always bring something to someone hosting.
21:38
An artichoke dip is very yummy. And then Daphne
21:41
comes in to see Toby in the music room. Yes,
21:44
and Toby is signing. He says, now that I'm learning
21:48
sign, I realize hearing people use too many words.
21:51
Love that realization. Yeah, he's right. Hearing
21:54
people. English? Too many words. And then she's
21:58
like, can I please quit my basketball team? And
22:01
Toby's like, no, he'll be so sad. We learn a
22:04
little bit more that Toby used to play baseball
22:07
because you know John's whole passion and career
22:10
was baseball. Right. And Toby quit to pursue music.
22:13
Yeah. And she was like how he react and he said
22:15
not great and neither Bay nor I are big sports
22:19
people so he's using you as his love of sports
22:22
outlet. Because she does, she loves sports it's
22:25
just that her team is shit. Like it's not a rejection
22:28
of John. If anything she's like I could be good
22:31
enough at this to play for real. Yeah. And also,
22:35
I should be supportive. I like to think that
22:37
John has encouraged her to grow and improve at
22:40
the sport now that she is getting pursued by
22:43
Buckner. Yeah. So I think that's a big deal.
22:45
I think she should reframe it like that. Like,
22:47
you have trained me and helped me improve so
22:50
much that this fancy private school wants me
22:52
to play for them. Do you remember how the Buckner
22:54
thing resolves? Okay. But we don't know that
22:56
yet. But we don't know that yet. But then Regina
22:58
in the very next scene is like, girl do whatever
23:00
you want. Quit the team. Daphne goes upstairs
23:03
and she's like, please, can I quit the basketball?
23:05
Like, she's just waiting for someone to give
23:07
her their blessing. Simcom alert. Major Simcom
23:11
alert. Just the two of them in that kitchen.
23:14
But yeah, Regina's like, I don't care what
23:15
you do. Quit the team. Like, whatever. And then
23:18
Kathryn, back at the house, she's stressed
23:21
about the book. She's like, I'm really worried
23:23
that they're going to move forward with this
23:25
book. And John is like, well, do you want me
23:27
to call her? She said, I called the lawyer and
23:29
the lawyer said there's nothing I can do. Right,
23:31
they're allowed to write a... biography about
23:33
the family. Yeah if they want which is fucked
23:36
up. And then John's like well what if I call the
23:38
journalist and like see if I could talk to her.
23:40
And she's like what are you gonna learn that I didn't
23:42
already learn? I understand why Kathryn's touchy
23:46
about the fact that he does that but I think
23:48
it's really sexy that he's like I'll handle it.
23:51
Like, that's nice to be like, you are clearly
23:53
stressed about this. Let me just see if I can
23:55
go be the bad guy and scare her off. This is
23:58
also a running theme from the last episode. I
24:00
know. Where she needs to speak up more for herself.
24:02
I know. And she's trying to do that and not get
24:03
railroaded. Not get railroaded. I'd let John
24:06
railroad me. That's all I'm saying. And then
24:09
the fake ID is done. That was really fast. Allegedly,
24:13
I've heard that it takes longer. Allegedly. I've
24:15
heard it takes like two to eight weeks. Yeah.
24:18
Allegedly. Allegedly, you have to order them
24:20
way in advance. Wilke likes her enough that
24:23
she, I don't think, pays anything. No, I think
24:25
she gets it for free. But he says earlier it's
24:29
going to cost a pretty penny. And Daphne's like,
24:31
that's fine. Maybe they just exchange money off
24:33
screen. Yeah, we didn't see that. But he's quizzing
24:36
Daphne. He goes, what's your star sign? She goes,
24:38
Libra. And he goes, eh, wrong. Now your sign
24:41
is Cancer. You were born June 24th. Daphne has
24:44
a new name on the ID, Daphne Rabinsky from Pleasantville,
24:48
New York. Interesting. Interesting. And she is
24:52
a Cancer on the ID. Rabinsky. Yeah, she's Jewish?
24:56
That doesn't really, she doesn't look like a
24:58
Rabinsky. No, she does not. But you know what?
25:00
She also didn't look Puerto Rican. And no one
25:03
questioned that for the first 16 years of her
25:05
life. You're right, you're right. Whatever. And
25:07
she tells Wilke she's going to go to the club
25:10
with Simone. So yes, thank you for the ID.
25:12
And Bay hears about that and she warns Daphne
25:15
about... Yeah, she tries to pull her aside and
25:17
do a little, hey, girly. And Daphne immediately
25:20
goes... What? Daphne gets so mean. Self -defense
25:24
walls, high alert, way up on the wall. And then
25:28
Bay goes, you know what? Never mind. Not my problem.
25:31
I love that they're both wearing hair clips in
25:33
this scene. Bay's look good. Daphne's look bad.
25:35
Bay had like a cute brown top and a long skirt
25:38
on. Yeah, I actually liked most of Bay's outfits
25:40
in this episode. And she had a clip. But then
25:42
Daphne had this bright blue cardigan on and these
25:46
two little blue ball clips. How would you describe
25:50
those? They evoke space buns, but they themselves
25:54
are not space buns. Yeah, her hair is still down.
25:56
Little mouse ears, almost, in her hair. It looks
25:59
insane because everyone at the club is wearing
26:01
normal bar clothes. And she's wearing a bright
26:06
blue top. Over a loose cheetah print long tank
26:10
top that is layered over another purple tank
26:15
top. It's so ugly. It's an awful outfit. She
26:18
also looks like she's 14. She looks insane. And
26:22
she's like, let me just go make out with this
26:24
man at the bar. And I'm surprised they're not like
26:26
are you 12. Yeah, I can't believe she gets in fine
26:29
despite looking like a toddler in her outfit.
26:32
And Wilke shows up to the bar uninvited. And
26:36
she's like, what the hell? And he's like, well,
26:38
you told me where you were going to be and what
26:40
time and who you would be with. I thought I was
26:42
being invited. Which he definitely wasn't. He's
26:44
being pushy. He's being pushy. But he's so cute
26:47
with it. But she's like, whoa, I do not like
26:50
you like that. Yeah, she says, you're not my
26:52
type. And he goes, I'm sorry. Were we not just
26:55
making out in my car like last week? Literally.
26:58
And then he says, what? I'm not deaf and into
27:00
Bay. Good one, Wilke. Also, his feelings are
27:04
really hurt. He is. He's like kind of tearing
27:07
up a little. I know. I felt so bad. I felt so
27:09
bad for him. And we learned that Wilke used
27:12
to date Simone. For like a second. For like a
27:14
second. But it's like, yeah, Wilke's kind of
27:16
a slut. That's okay. He likes Daphne for real.
27:19
And then also, how the hell is she hearing everyone?
27:23
It is dark. It is noisy. It is filled with people.
27:27
She's also hanging out with mostly people she's
27:30
not familiar with. Yeah, there's Simone and then
27:32
like three girls that we never met before. And
27:35
she does say at one point, so they're doing like
27:38
makeout challenges in the bar, I guess. Like
27:42
later on, we come back to the bar and they're
27:44
daring each other to go kiss strangers, which
27:46
if you are underage in a bar, I don't want to
27:49
give anyone advice, but like don't make a fucking
27:51
spectacle of yourself. Don't do that. You need
27:54
to look like you have been in a bar or just in
27:57
public before. They're like giggling. They're
28:00
like running around the bar being loud. And then,
28:03
yeah, Daphne's at this table with all these girls.
28:05
And one of them's like, don't make Daphne do
28:08
that. She's not on the team. So these are all
28:10
the Buckner basketball girls. These would be
28:11
her teammates if she were to switch teams. And
28:14
Daphne's like, wait, what did you say? It's kind
28:16
of dark in here. First time she asks, what? And
28:19
Simone says, you don't have to do the dare. Daphne
28:22
says, oh, I'm doing the dare. I'm doing the dare.
28:24
And then Simone points to some random guy at
28:27
the bar and says, go make out with him. He also
28:29
looks crazy young. He looks like he's in college,
28:31
like a freshman in college. Yeah, maybe. And
28:34
she goes up to him and says, my friends dared
28:37
me make out with you. How do you feel about that?
28:39
And he was like, hell yeah. They make out. And
28:41
then all of a sudden his girlfriend comes back
28:43
from the bathroom. What an idiot. Why would he
28:45
say yes? I don't know. That was crazy. And she
28:49
is about to beat up Daphne. Yeah. And Simone runs
28:52
up and says, excuse me, my friend's colostomy
28:55
bag is about to explode. We have to go. She's
28:57
ableist and she dines and dashes. Literally,
29:00
it was like, what the fuck? I know that was supposed
29:03
to be funny, but I think now maybe I'm being
29:05
sensitive, but I was like, that's not funny.
29:07
That's true. I think back then. I don't think
29:09
I even knew what a colostomy bag was. And Daphne
29:12
thinks it's funny. Yeah, she was like, oh, my
29:13
God, a colostomy bag? Yeah, somehow understood
29:16
her. Yeah. Wasn't even facing her, really, when
29:19
Simone said it. She was like, did you say I had
29:21
a colostomy bag? That's hilarious. Oh, my God.
29:24
No, yeah. And then, yeah, Simone stays behind
29:27
to, quote, pay. Yeah, Simone's like, don't worry,
29:30
I got the drinks. I'll pay. And then she does
29:32
not pay. No, she rips up the check and puts it
29:34
in her pocket. And that's. Okay. Should we, do we want
29:38
to go to game night? Yeah let's go to game night.
29:40
They're playing Monopoly. I think they should
29:42
have played, I think a great game to play if there's
29:45
a language barrier is Uno. Uno is really good.
29:47
Sure. I used to play that with a lot of kids who
29:49
didn't speak English. Rummikub is also really
29:51
good. Dominoes is also good. Dominoes is really
29:54
good, so those are much better options than Monopoly.
29:57
Bay shows up at game night and they are. Oh, she
30:02
has her artichoke dip. Yeah, she brings her big
30:04
artichoke dip that's like super saran wrapped
30:07
and it never gets opened. There's food on the
30:10
kitchen table already, but Melody instead brings
30:12
it to the other side of the kitchen onto the
30:14
counter and then walks away. Yeah. Regina comes
30:18
over and she says to Regina, like, don't interpret
30:20
for me tonight. I want Melody to see that I'm
30:23
trying. Bad call, girly. Bad call. She really
30:25
tried, though. And Regina really did try to help.
30:28
Yeah. There was one point where Emmett, like, put
30:30
a house on Park Place, and Bay can't tell. And
30:33
then Regina's like, Park Place is a great property.
30:37
I know. She's trying. Yeah, she's trying to help
30:40
her, but Melody is not trying to help her. She's
30:43
signing so fast. And smiling that smile where
30:47
you know she knows she's being a bitch. Oh, yeah.
30:50
And then she... There's also no captions, too,
30:53
so the audience does not know what you're saying.
30:55
Which I loved. Yes, and also her signing's out
30:58
of frame. We see her signing really fast, and
31:00
then we just see Regina laughing at some story
31:03
she's sharing. I loved that I was like, oh, I'm
31:06
an idiot, too. I feel for Bay. And then Emmett
31:09
realizes that... Bay is clueless. And Bay says,
31:12
I missed all of that. I'm so sorry. And then
31:14
Regina and Emmett tell Melody, please slow down.
31:17
And Emmett signs the simplified version, which
31:20
is just, my mom likes to win. Yes. And Bay's
31:24
like, oh, I like to win too, which is funny because
31:27
they're also, they're talking about the game,
31:29
but also they're not. And then I don't know why
31:32
Melody brings up Daphne. She says Daphne is the
31:35
only person that's ever beat me in Monopoly.
31:37
That's right. And then everyone gets kind of
31:39
chill, the room chills. Yeah. And she's like,
31:41
what? Emmett gives her evil eyes. Yeah. She's
31:44
like, what? I can't bring up Daphne? And then
31:46
Bay says it's okay, I know you and Daphne hang
31:49
out a lot, and she signs hang out. But instead
31:52
of hang out, she accidentally signs circumcise.
31:56
So I'll demonstrate the signs. So hang out is
31:58
you have both hands and your thumbs are up, and
32:02
the thumbs are orbiting each other. Yeah, kind
32:05
of at an angle, too. At an angle, and then they're
32:08
going around each other. But for circumcise,
32:10
only one hand is moving, and it looks like you're
32:13
cutting off foreskin. Yeah. It's, yeah, you're
32:16
sort of miming a circumcision. But Melody starts
32:18
cackling, laughing at her face in a really mean
32:22
way. It's so mean. Like, she obviously knows
32:25
Bay didn't mean circumcise. No, of course not.
32:28
Also, the signs are fairly similar. They're very
32:31
similar. A new signer. And then Bay's like, you
32:34
know what? I'm done. Good night. Bye. Especially
32:38
because she, like, it's not just that she laughs.
32:40
She laughs and she's like, what did I do? And
32:43
Regina explains that you signed. And Regina does
32:46
a really good job of being like, oh, you didn't
32:48
sign hangout. You signed circumcision. Yeah,
32:51
but that's okay. Yeah, she's like, there's no
32:53
mockery in her tone. She's just explaining very
32:55
frankly. And Bay's like, oh. But then Melody
32:56
goes on. Melody continues on like, yeah, me and
32:59
Daphne, we circumcise all the time. Like, blah,
33:02
blah, blah. And then Bay goes, you're laughing
33:05
at me. Yeah. That broke my heart. Yeah, it's,
33:09
you know, she's really far out of her comfort
33:11
zone. I know. And then she's like, you know what?
33:13
I'm done. Good for Bay that she walks out. I
33:16
think that was the right call. And then Regina
33:17
finally says something, too. Yeah, she was like,
33:20
you need to apologize. That's my daughter. And
33:23
that's your son's girlfriend. Like, what is wrong
33:26
with you? What are you doing? Yeah. But then
33:28
on the drive home, like, it makes me sad that
33:32
Regina's defending Bay when she's not in the
33:34
room. But then on the drive home, she's, like,
33:36
defending Melody. She's like, I don't know why
33:38
she's being like this. She's such a mama bear.
33:41
Yeah, she's being a mama bear. Like, it's not
33:43
about you. It is definitely about Bay. It's
33:47
definitely about Bay. And also it's not an excuse.
33:49
Like she's making excuses for Melody and Bay
33:51
says, have you ever noticed that there's always
33:53
someone between us? I like also that Bay got
33:56
a little petty and said, she's a total bitch.
33:58
Yeah. Drop bitch on the show. I was so thrilled.
34:01
Good for her. She deserves to. Yeah. Melody deserved
34:04
that. And then Emmett's back in his room and
34:07
there's sad music playing. He's not playing it,
34:10
but the show has inserted sad music as he stares
34:13
at photos of his girlfriend planking. I know. Like she
34:17
died. Can you imagine her and Regina die in the
34:20
car crash and the photos he has to use in the
34:22
memorial? Awful. It's the junkyard photos and
34:25
planking. And planking. And everyone would say,
34:28
wow, that escalator one is really impressive.
34:30
It's really good, guys. But Melody comes in.
34:33
She doesn't apologize. No. She does not say I'm sorry.
34:36
She says, I know you're mad at me. She says,
34:38
I know you're mad. Which is crazy. No I'm sorry
34:41
for my behavior. But then they have a great fight.
34:43
Yeah. I love an ASL fight. Really a favorite.
34:47
You want to break it down for us? Yeah, he accuses
34:50
Melody of blaming Bay for everything that he's
34:53
doing when he in fact is just changing as a person.
34:56
I don't know if that's not necessarily true,
34:58
but that's what he's saying. And he says it's
35:00
insulting to me, which I think is a good point.
35:02
It's like it's insulting to me that you think
35:04
that I can't think for myself. Yeah, that I'm
35:07
being influenced by this girl instead of... by
35:10
my own will. And he says, I want to learn speech
35:12
therapy because I have wanted to learn since I was
35:14
a kid. And Melody drops a little deaf history
35:17
on us and says, well, I had to learn speech therapy
35:20
by force. They used to tie our hands behind our
35:22
back and punished us if we signed. Yeah. And he
35:25
says, that was years ago. Things are different
35:27
now. I want to learn to speak. And he says, and
35:30
it's not going to prevent me from signing. I
35:32
can do both, which is very true. And then he
35:35
accuses her of not wanting him to be happy because
35:38
he's dating someone, his dad is dating someone,
35:41
and she's single. So she's taking it out on him.
35:44
Ouch. Ouch. But they come to tentative agreement
35:47
where she does promise to apologize and be nicer
35:50
to Bay. Yeah. And they have a little hug and
35:53
it's sweet. She doesn't apologize to Emmett. No.
35:55
But she says, I will apologize to Bay. And she
35:58
says, if you can stop lying to me and skipping
36:02
class and failing things, I will be more supportive
36:05
of your relationship. That's true. It's a little
36:07
hard to be supportive of a partner when your
36:10
child is lying, stealing, getting injured. A
36:15
little tough. Tough, but fair. I think that's
36:18
a good resolution. I think Emmett has a great...
36:21
brooding face. Yeah and then Daphne who I presume
36:25
is a little bit tipsy from her bar experience.
36:27
They had a lot of beers on the table. And that's
36:30
why she has the liquid courage to go to John
36:32
and say she's gonna quit the team. And he goes
36:35
no you're not and she goes in fact I am. And then,
36:39
this makes sense to me. She was like, please,
36:41
for the love of God, I have no control over anything
36:43
in my life. This is the one thing I can control.
36:46
Yeah. And I totally agree with her. She said,
36:48
there's so many things I can't change, but this
36:50
one I can change and I'm going to do it. Yeah.
36:52
And I think he acquiesces. Yeah. I think maybe
36:56
he understands. Yeah. She's saying, I can change
37:00
this, but you can't. This is in my control. It's
37:03
not in your control. Kathryn is being like,
37:05
all these other dummies wrote a book. Yeah, she's
37:08
like Snooki wrote a book, Valerie Bertinelli wrote
37:10
a book, Keith Richards has a biography or a memoir.
37:13
Why can't I write one? She also really insults
37:16
Kendra. I don't know her last name. I don't know
37:18
who Kendra is. She's like a former Playboy bunny.
37:22
Oh, that's right. She's like, Kendra wrote two
37:24
books. Okay. Okay, Kathryn. Yeah. You can have
37:28
sex and write. Which Kathryn should know because
37:30
her and her husband have a very healthy sex life.
37:32
Yes. She's like, they can all do it. So can I.
37:36
Yeah, which I actually think is a great idea.
37:38
Yeah, for her, especially she's been looking
37:40
for something. Yeah, she drops all the books
37:42
on John, which she bought. It doesn't look like
37:45
they're library rentals. Guys, go to your local
37:47
library. Kathryn doesn't have a library card.
37:49
Don't go to Barnes and Noble. Go to your local
37:51
library or your local independent bookstore.
37:53
So true. I like to think Kathryn maybe went
37:56
to a local KC independent bookstore, but I fear
37:58
that she went to Borders at the time or Barnes
38:01
and Noble. Yeah. And then we get to the last scene
38:04
where I just wrote, oh, fuck. So Emmett is in
38:07
the garage. It's nighttime. He's working on his
38:09
bike. There's no sound. Yeah, it's fully silent.
38:12
Fully silent. A squad car pulls up onto the driveway
38:15
and the police shine a light at him so he cannot
38:18
see who's speaking and he also cannot read their
38:20
lips. And he tries to sign, but he also has a
38:23
wrench in his hand. The police, I assume, are
38:26
probably saying, drop the weapon. And Emmett
38:28
keeps pointing to his ear, but with the hand
38:30
that's holding the wrench too. Yeah, so he's
38:32
like, I don't know what you're saying. But then
38:34
the police are like, you're not dropping the
38:36
weapon, okay. And they tackle him, shove him
38:39
to the ground and handcuff him. Behind his back.
38:42
Behind his back. Yeah and that's where the episode
38:45
ends. Yeah so he's being arrested for something,
38:47
we don't really know what. We'll figure it out
38:50
very quickly and be reminded what he did. Yeah
38:53
um extremely upsetting scene to watch. So upsetting.
38:56
Yeah. Really powerful that they had it completely
38:59
silent. Yes, I do have issues with the way they
39:03
talk about it later on in the show. Okay. Because
39:06
I don't think they talk, because this happens
39:08
to Emmett, but I don't think they discuss, like,
39:10
the systemic issues of, like, police brutality
39:12
against deaf people. I think it's kind of like,
39:15
oh, he got arrested because he's a bad boy and
39:17
he's doing bad things. Yeah. But it's not like,
39:19
I don't think they're really addressing the extremely
39:22
traumatic thing that has happened to him and
39:24
that has happened to many deaf people. It's a
39:26
very common occurrence. Yeah, I looked it up
39:31
and they don't have a lot of statistics because
39:33
the tracking is bad, but. Deaf and hard of hearing
39:35
individuals make up 7 percent of prisoners and only
39:38
2.1 percent of the general population. Oof. So. Overrepresented.
39:43
Yeah. And then I was also reading specifically
39:45
about Gallaudet Police Department had a lot of
39:49
false arrest and history of police brutality.
39:52
And there was a student there who was killed
39:55
by campus security in an illegal chokehold in
39:58
1990. Holy shit. Yeah. He was just walking on
40:01
campus. His name was Carl Dupree. By campus security?
40:05
Those aren't even real cops. That's what it said
40:07
in the Washington Post article. Why would? Because
40:11
isn't Gallaudet a fully deaf university? Yes,
40:13
but famously the administration is not. And then
40:16
also the police are not adequately trained on
40:19
how to interact with deaf people, which is psychotic.
40:22
People are so stupid. They really are. But apparently
40:25
this is a running theme with Gallaudet police
40:28
and then with general police handling deaf and
40:32
hard of hearing people. I do know that it is a
40:34
common occurrence for police to mistake sign
40:38
language for gang signs. Yes. Which again like
40:41
how dumb can you be. I know it's. It was a fun
40:44
episode, but then it ended on such a bummer.
40:46
And I was like, ugh. I know. Sorry, guys. Yeah,
40:49
I don't know how I bring that up. It's not funny.
40:51
So I'm not going to try to bring up the mood.
40:53
But thank you for listening. I really appreciate
40:55
it. Thanks for listening. And we'll see you next
40:58
week for episode 13. Bye. Bye.
