• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Wednesday, August twentieth. I'm coming on
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: now so you all can hear my continuation of a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: shouting match I've been having with a twelve year old
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: child for the past hour. What could I, a forty
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: eight year old grown ass man, be arguing with a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: twelve year old child about and allowing her to shout
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: at me about. This is what we're arguing over, Team
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Conrad or team Jeremiah. And with that, welcome to this
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: episode of Amy and TJ. This is a amuless edition
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of Amy and TJ because she happens to be out
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of town right now and I'm holding it down and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: watching the show called The Summer I Turn Pretty and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: everybody's heard of it because it is an absolute phenomenon
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: right now, and it's in the middle on the back
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: end of its third season now a few weeks before
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the season finale. But this is all everybody's talking about.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And are you with Conrad or are you with Jeremiah? Now,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I am not going to explain that to anybody. If
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, I'm not going to give you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a whole backstory and get you caught up on what
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this show is. Why it's a big deal who Conrad is,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: who Jeremiah is, and who Belly is. If you don't know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: figure it out. But right now, folks, this is such
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a deal in society and in the zeitgeistuff you will,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a pop culture. This show is a phenomenon that I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a forty eight year old black man am arguing with
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: his twelve year old daughter about what some fictional white
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: kids are doing in Massachusetts during the summer. And that's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: where we are. So no, Robot is not here for this.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You know who's here. Please introduce yourself, Saben. Yeah, Sabine Holmes.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: This is the one I've been arguing with my twelve
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: year old child. Team Conrad Bean or team Jeremiah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I'm with Jeremiah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Why this is a problem for me? We are arguing,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: We are literally shouting at each other about which one
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: folks should be on board with. Have you wrote Robes
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: been been with Jeremiah the whole way?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Well, only through the first season so far. We're only
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: two episodes into the second season, but so far and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: with Jeremiah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I should give that clarity, folks. We are arguing over
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a show we're not even up to date on it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: We have seen, you know what, I'll be fair, I've
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: seen like one episode of the first season and two
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: or three episodes of the second season, and we're on
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: what episode three of season two two right now, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: this is where we are. Why? What is your I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: am very much solid in the team Conrad camp and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you you were if you always You'll can see her.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: She is, her body is, she's gyrating. She is so
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable and pissed at me for liking Conrad. What's your
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: problem with Conrad?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: My problem with Conrad is that I think I think
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: he's just not very interested. I there was a time
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: on the dock where they kissed or almost kissed, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the next day he kind of was dismissive and acted
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: like he didn't remember that happened.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Are so okay? Your thing is you don't think Conrad
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is as into her as Jeremiah is into her? Is
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that it?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think Jeremiah has been trying harder for the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: first season.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He's been trying harder. Now I have to ask, does
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it have anything to do with the how the two
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of them look. You're twelve, your girl, you might be
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a little hey, this one's a little cuter than that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: one is I have anything to do with it. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: can't believe he's asking my daughter this freaking question. No, No,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: No. My only problem with Conrad is that he does
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: not like he's putting as much effort as That's it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: That's my only.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, See, I like Comrade is just cool. He's chill.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He's a little older mate. I just like, I don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: even understand it. I haven't seen enough of the show, really,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but I am solidly with Conrad.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But you your only reason is that you think it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: he's just cooler.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I just he.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Does doesn't have anything to do with being better for belly.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: If you have someone who isn't very interested in you,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that's not a good partner.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But who says he's not interested you do? Okay, it just.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Looks like it just feels like he's not interested.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, what issue? Okay, this is the part I did see.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I did see the end the season finale of season one.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: They were at the debutant ball. Why is that not
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a moment? You all were telling me about it before
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the moment happened. Oh it's so sweet. She got left
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: at the debutante ball and Conrad came to the rescue.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so why are we letting him ride on? That?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't any best friend do that for their friend.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You're not giving him credit for that as a romantic gesture.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's just hating on Conrad.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Now I'm not hating. I'm giving him. I'm giving him.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That's sweet. I'm giving him giving him like was the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: applause for that? But I just feel like any good
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: friend would do that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, So we're talking about this, folks, I full del
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I have heard of the show. I've seen the previews.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I've seen. Of course, I'm on Amazon Prime, so it's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: up there for the previews. And the season is that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I never had any interest in watching this show, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Robot's daughter able one day,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's talking to me about it. Now I watched it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: She was telling me something, so I watched the first
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: few minutes. I said, oh, this is not my thing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not into it. Let me move on, all right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Days later, whatever, Robots starts to watch a little bit,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and next thing I know, there are more conversations about it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And now I'm running into more people and everybody's talking
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: about it. And now I'm hanging out with Sabine and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: she is now blowing through and streaming the season right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: totally blowing through this thing, and here we are. It's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: amazing how these shows and as many of you all know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: become the phenomenon that they are. I guess Love Island
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was the last one. I guess the last of us
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: were talking about shows like White Lotus. They're just a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: handful of these that become these talkable and just cultural moments,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to the point that, yes, I am pretty sure, Robes,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I keep calling you, Robes. I'm pretty sure, Sabine. When
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they did this show and we're putting it together, their
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: target audience was not me. They were not thinking that,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know what, late forties black guys, they're gonna love this,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: love it. But it says something, does it not? That
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a show has me engaged in such a way, Who
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: has me fired up in such a way, Who has
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: me literally arguing with his daughter over these two dudes
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in a fictional show, to where I'm actually getting upset
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: with you in the living room, Like, how can you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: think that? Of course not Jeremiah, of course, nobody want
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: what is that olive skin? Whose skin is that beautifully olive?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And eyes that beautifully blue? Nobody's like that. I can't
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: get on board with that guy. He is gorgeous. He
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is gorgeous. We'll give him that, But so is Conrad.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Why are you making any eyes.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: The point of a love triangle? It's usually, yeah, what's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: better for the girl. It's usually two guys and it's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: what's better for the girl.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: This is what we're doing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: So no, your reasons are, oh, he's he's cool.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I like him. Doesn't that have Okay, we have to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: allow for that. But to your point, go ahead, No, No,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to your you were making a good point there, go ahead.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think it's more of what's better
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: for belly instead of what you think of one guy.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm supposed to be taking this assignment seriously, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be looking out for what's best for belly.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Is what you're telling me. I mean, what was the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: other one, the the werewolf thing, the light Twilight? Okay,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: same kind of scenario. Was it not that we're all
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: team this or team that for who's best for the girl?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Did you you didn't watch those? Did you know Okay,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So we don't have anything to say on that one.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So we do know based on friends we talked to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that third season of Summer I Turn Pretty, there is
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a wedding, Yes, and the wedding is Jeremiah and Belly
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and Belly. You're happy with that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, But I know a lot of people who
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: watch the Summer I Turn Pretty, and a lot of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: them keep telling me Conrad's gonna get better, like you're
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna like him later.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So you're leaving open the possibility that there are things
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that could happen, Yeah, that you could that could turn
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you around.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like maybe throughout the season, maybe I would prefer Conrad.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, Now there's one knock against Conrad that you've given us,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: which you said, he doesn't seem to be as into her.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: He hasn't really shown himself. Is there anything else about
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Conrad that you don't like? Is there anything else you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: can point to pinpoint, even if you don't like his haircut,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: even if you didn't like that song he's saying at
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the funeral, whatever it is, can you point to any
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: other thing about Conrad aside from that one thing that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you don't like?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Not really because I believed I think Conrad is very mature.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: But I think it is a big factor that Conrad
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: is actually into Belly, that he is actually.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Locked in, like Jeremiah said, Okay.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry Jeremiah, or whoever she ends up with, I
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: think it's more important that she is whoever it is,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: is more into her.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Ah, this is so interesting here from a twelve like you,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You're looking at this relationship and looking at those two
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: as well. He's the guy who is going after her more,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: putting in the most effort. He seems to be the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: most desperate or wants it desperate nothing right? Would you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. He's going after her, He's putting
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: his heart out there. He's showing clearly what he wants
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and to you, for you, that means that's the guy
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for her. Okay, let me ask you this question, what
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: does Belly want? In your opinion? Now, if we were
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: judging who's right for her based on how they behave
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: your answer is, Jeremiah, who should she be with based
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: on how she behaves? All right, we pick up the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: conversation here now talking about what a lot of you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: all are talking about right now. Is Conrad and Jeremiah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Who should Belly end up with on Summer I Turn
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: pretty seems wild as hell that I am talking about
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: this show that I had to do with literally high schoolers,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: coming of age story if you will, and a love triangle,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: but it is what everybody's talking about, and I end
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: up in an argument with my twelve year old daughter,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: like passionate, we don't fight about anything. I don't fight
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: with my twelve year old daughter. You know why, because
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: she respects that I'm the dad and I'm the parent.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: We don't have anything to argue about. So why is
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: she yelling at me? You were literally be what made
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you comfortable enough to yell at me over this show?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I'm passionate, but it was all in fun.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But we were passion I'm yelling back, like, how could
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: you think that about Conrad? So the question was, yes,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we know that you think Jeremiah should be the guy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Based on the behavior of Jeremiah and Conrad, he is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: clearly more into Belly. Yes, so that's the one she
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: should pick. But now let's pick for Belly based on
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: how Belly has been behaving and acting in her emotions
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: towards the two guys. Now, who's your choice? Whose team
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: are you on? Now?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Well, so Belly has said that she's liked Conrad since
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: she was ten years old. Okay, so if she I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: think also deep down she still likes Conrad.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Uh huh.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: So maybe if maybe she wants Conrad more and maybe
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that's better for her. But also Conrad is more mature,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I think, and that could I don't know, maybe rub
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: off on her because Conrad. Sorry, Belly, she is honestly
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a bit of the problem. Because Belly, she has been
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: going from Jeremiah to Conrad, Conrad to Jeremiah the first
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: season and a bit of the second season, and I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: just think maybe she needs someone who's mature and comes
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: with longer, a longer lasting relationship.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Boom. But you hear folks, she's team Conrad. I heard it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Did y'all hear it? That's what I heard? No, let
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: me clarify, please, So your team, you think, Okay, here's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that's a better way to put it. You actually think Belly,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: from where we are on the show, might prefer Conrad.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Did you advise her to follow her heart?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: No?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: You would advise her to follow your advice, yes, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: stick with Jeremiah. Yeah, what do you think? And again, no,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: let's not talk about it. And I remind you here, folks,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: we are only sorry about the hiccups there. We are
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: only up to season season two, episode what three? Okay,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to cut this off before sweetheart, sweetheart,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to you, Jesus Christ. We debated about doing
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: this episode, and we were delayed in doing it because
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I had severe hiccups that took us at least half
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: hour to get under control. I've been over here drinking water,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: holding my breath and literally doing handstands while holding my breath,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and so being suggested I do the handstand, hold my breath,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and drink water from a straw all the same same time.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: But I know you all learnedo this show. I obviously
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: have to keep watching it. It is a phenomenon, but
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it is a fun way. Look parents out there, adults,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you don't have to be into the show, but it
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: is a very curious way to engage with your kids
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and to be, I guess, really passionate, passionate about something
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that actually doesn't necessarily matter in the grand scheme of
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: things of life. But it's a it's an escape, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: it's fun and there are relationships that are examined, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it does have to do with adults and kids and
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: relationships with parents and death and grand and just family
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and all of it and coming of Jesus Christ. You all,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, so sorry about hiccups. Well, we appreciate
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Uh Jesus, can you sign all from me here to me?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: No?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: But really, fuck, we appreciate you as always. Uh, this
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: is a rare robot episode we've done here. But she
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: okay this episode because she knows how much we are
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: all into this. But folks, I hope you've enjoyed watching.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: We always appreciate your running with us. But for now,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I'm TJ. Holmes and I'm home. Sorry, folks, We'll see y'all,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: say
