• 1:34
  Last week, I said I was. Going to do the thing and start
• 1:36
  Monday, January 1st, 2024. The thing that's the thing I'm
• 1:42
  going to do. I have accountability partners
• 1:46
  now. I have you, the listeners, my
• 1:50
  fatherless behavior Squad roundup.
• 1:56
  I'm kidding. I'm doing the thing.
• 1:58
  And so I grabbed a notebook and I started writing down what I
• 2:02
  wanted to do. I live streamed it, jaded
• 2:06
  Saumya, one of my good friends. Well, I always shout out at the
• 2:09
  end of the podcast joined me in my guest box and we were
• 2:13
  drafting ideas for workouts and what we should do.
• 2:20
  She said Listen, I figure that's what she says.
• 2:23
  She says listen, listen. We are doing this thing, we are
• 2:29
  doing the thing and so we just went to work on what we are
• 2:36
  planning to do. If you want to come along on
• 2:39
  this journey, you are more than welcome to do it with us.
• 2:43
  I will tell you what moves we did on the January episode of
• 2:46
  the podcast, but I can tell you now.
• 2:50
  I can tell you now what we are calling it.
• 2:54
  I told her let's do a solo challenge because years ago I
• 3:00
  was known as the guy that did. Group.
• 3:03
  Challenges. I was.
• 3:05
  I was known as that guy. But now it's time to go solo.
• 3:11
  It's time to do it yourself. It's time to not depend on other
• 3:15
  people to help you. It's time to fight this one on
• 3:19
  your own. It's boss battle time.
• 3:25
  I bet all the wrestling fans thought I was going to say it's.
• 3:29
  Vader. Time.
• 3:31
  No, no, no. I'm calling it the 1000
• 3:36
  challenge. Jaded Jaded got a little
• 3:40
  worried, but I told her it's just the name of the challenge.
• 3:44
  We are reaching our destination to 1001 K every week if a
• 3:51
  different set of workouts. Your choice is how many you want
• 3:55
  to do. Every week is a different set of
• 4:00
  workouts. Your choice is how many you want
• 4:04
  to do. Shut the fuck up.
• 4:11
  Every week, if a different set of workouts, your choice is how
• 4:16
  many you want to do. Now before I continue, there are
• 4:22
  two types. Of.
• 4:23
  Ways to do this challenge for those that have access to the
• 4:27
  gym and like to go to the gym. You can include weights as well.
• 4:31
  It's your choice. Jaded Got this choice.
• 4:35
  As for me, I don't have a gym. I don't.
• 4:39
  I can't. I don't have money for a gym,
• 4:42
  but I did mention I have a treadmill, a bike, battle,
• 4:44
  ropes, weight and stairs. So I will do my best.
• 4:54
  Some of these moves you need a gym, but for those that have
• 4:58
  known me for a long time, I've found ways around it.
• 5:05
  Side quest story, Man, I haven't done a side quest story in a
• 5:10
  while. Sidequest story all right, so
• 5:14
  sidequest to the sidequest story if.
• 5:17
  You ever heard of the Freddie Prince Junior Podcast, wrestling
• 5:20
  with Freddy or wrestling with friends now?
• 5:23
  He used to say this all the. Time when he wanted to, like,
• 5:26
  talk about like a flashback or everything about the freaking.
• 5:32
  Podcast show is a flashback. But he said I was like, all
• 5:34
  right, let me sidetrack on this and call this sidequest story.
• 5:40
  So it came from him. But ever since I heard it from
• 5:46
  him, I've been using it as that instead of saying sidebars.
• 5:51
  So when people ask me sidebar me and was like, yeah, let's go,
• 5:54
  let's go side quest. They don't know what the hell
• 5:57
  I'm talking about. I digress.
• 6:02
  I know. So here's the side quest story.
• 6:05
  I used to love going to the Nerf Fitness app because they would
• 6:10
  have some crazy ass geeky nerdy workouts and they would show you
• 6:15
  how to do something with a gym membership or just at home.
• 6:19
  Nerd Fitness was an amazing app that fucking started out in
• 6:23
  2012, or maybe before that, but I like found out about it in
• 6:27
  2012. And the reason I found out about
• 6:33
  it, it's because they created this fucking workout called the
• 6:39
  Konami Code Workout. Yes, for those that don't know,
• 6:45
  gaming the Konami Code is a cheat code created by Kazuhisa
• 6:49
  Kashimoto. First used in 1986 in the
• 6:53
  release of Gradius 1986, of course a scrolling shooter for
• 6:57
  the NES Nintendo Entertainment System, and was popularized
• 7:01
  among North American players on the NES version of Contra.
• 7:06
  The code is also known as the Contra Code and 30 Lives code.
• 7:11
  Since the code provided the player X30 Extra lives on
• 7:15
  Contra, the code has been used to help non expert.
• 7:20
  Players to progress through. The came it's a cheat code for a
• 7:24
  reason guys. The code goes as follows Up, up,
• 7:31
  down, down, left, right, left, right, BA.
• 7:34
  For some reason I would always press start.
• 7:36
  I don't know why. Like I would also think I would
• 7:39
  always think start was at the end of this code.
• 7:44
  But it's not. Up, up, down, down, left, right,
• 7:47
  left, right, BA, Up, up, down, down is the name of WWE
• 7:54
  wrestlers. Xavier Woods YouTube channel
• 7:57
  where he invites fellow WWE performers, gaming
• 8:00
  personalities, friends and guests.
• 8:02
  To. Who play games against each
• 8:04
  other or himself. In August of 2018 it won the
• 8:08
  Guinness World Record for most subscribed to celebrity video
• 8:13
  gaming channel with 1.6 million subscribers.
• 8:19
  So what Nerd Fitness did was made a workout out of this in
• 8:22
  2012 like I mentioned earlier. So back then at times I
• 8:26
  researched this. I was laid off from this job.
• 8:30
  I needed something to do, so I wasn't working for a while.
• 8:35
  I needed that fucking break. So I started working out from
• 8:40
  home because I didn't have a gym membership anymore.
• 8:45
  It was always at work, work, gym, work, gym, gym, work.
• 8:52
  And then I get laid off. No more gym.
• 8:56
  So enter Nerd fitness and and my inspiration for everything nerd
• 9:01
  related. Steve Lamb, the creator of Nerd
• 9:07
  Fitness made a YouTube video where he wanted to play a match
• 9:11
  to his favorite cheat code and this is how he described the
• 9:16
  Konami code Workout up up, pull ups.
• 9:20
  So pull up, pull up, or body weight roll or dumbbell roll for
• 9:25
  two repetitions. Down, down, push up, push up.
• 9:29
  Any variation for two repetitions.
• 9:32
  Left, right, left, right lunges with each leg for two
• 9:36
  repetitions. The B means burpee.
• 9:43
  I know we all hate burpees. I know, I know, I know, We all
• 9:48
  hate burpees. But hear me out.
• 9:52
  You can jump at the beginning or at the end.
• 9:54
  Your preference A is for air Squat or 111 Musical Repetition.
• 10:03
  All right, so you have pull ups, pull ups, pushups, pushups,
• 10:07
  lunch left, lunch right, lunch left, lunch right, burpee and a
• 10:12
  squat. Depending on your particular
• 10:17
  situation, you can try a few variations of this workout.
• 10:21
  So he sets a time for five to 10 minutes and see how many
• 10:25
  complete circuits you can complete in that time.
• 10:28
  Record your number and come back a week later under the same
• 10:31
  conditions to beat your own record.
• 10:35
  So the goal number of circuits. Try 510 or 20 complete circuits
• 10:40
  and see how long it takes you to complete the workout.
• 10:43
  Record your time and attempt again a week from now to see if
• 10:47
  you can complete it faster. Do a circuit or two during
• 10:52
  commercial or game breaks. Watching a TV show, playing a
• 10:55
  video game. See if you can complete a
• 10:58
  circuit or two during a commercial break or between
• 11:00
  levels. Certainly better than nothing.
• 11:04
  Right. For those without a GM
• 11:07
  membership or dumbbells as he described to the body weight or
• 11:10
  pull up, get underneath the table and pull yourself up from
• 11:13
  that table. So I did this whole circuit
• 11:17
  thing. I did it.
• 11:19
  I did it. I don't remember what the exact
• 11:21
  number was, but I remember it kicked my ass the first time I
• 11:28
  thought I was able to do stuff. I just wasn't expecting the
• 11:32
  burpee, but it kicked my ass the first time.
• 11:36
  But when I did it again, I did it better.
• 11:40
  All right, so side quest completed.
• 11:43
  Back to our challenge story. Jada Samya assault.
• 11:47
  There was no way she was going to do a pull up so I of course
• 11:51
  know ways around workouts. So I told her about the table
• 11:54
  pull up. You can do different variations
• 11:56
  of a workout if you can do it normally.
• 11:59
  Can't do push ups? Try knee push ups 1st and then
• 12:02
  work your right way up. Evolution.
• 12:06
  Evolve it, Progress it. We both wrote this down on a.
• 12:12
  Pad, we are starting very soon and we hope you all join us on
• 12:17
  this Fitler Journey Fitness journey to be exact the first
• 12:22
  week we. Have pull ups, push ups.
• 12:26
  Jump rope squats, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, and if you
• 12:33
  have stairs, walk up and down 1000 times.
• 12:37
  Do whatever you like or get moving every day by walking one
• 12:42
  mile. Totally easy.
• 12:45
  You don't have to reach to 1000 just yet.
• 12:48
  Just write down what you did. Through the week.
• 12:51
  And see if we can do better the next month.
• 12:54
  Week. 2 diamond push ups Put your hands together to form a
• 12:59
  diamond and do regular push ups. Dips, sumo squats, pelvic
• 13:07
  thrust, cherry pickers, bear crawls.
• 13:11
  Steps up to 1.5 miles daily. And plans.
• 13:16
  I mean planks. With planks, it's about how long
• 13:20
  you can stay on that hold. So don't forget to record your
• 13:23
  time every time you do it. Week 3 Spider Push ups.
• 13:31
  See how the push ups are evolving as you progressively
• 13:33
  get through the week. That's the whole point of this.
• 13:37
  Your evolution, your progress. Squat jumps just the way it
• 13:43
  sounds. Squat down and then jump up.
• 13:47
  Lunges, high knees. Battle ropes if you have them.
• 13:53
  Step UPS steps up to 1.5 to 2 miles daily.
• 13:59
  And the battle ropes. You can just time it if you can
• 14:01
  beat your own time every day. That's progress for week 4.
• 14:09
  Are you all ready for this? Are you all ready for this?
• 14:13
  Pull ups. Plank push ups, Plank push ups,
• 14:18
  Oh yeah. What you do is you maintain a
• 14:19
  plank position, you alternate between a high plank and a
• 14:22
  forearm plank, and then you do a push up and back to plank again.
• 14:29
  More dips, mountain climbers walking lunges and steps up to
• 14:35
  two to three miles. By week 5, you'll probably be
• 14:40
  there by the next month and you have everything written down.
• 14:44
  So you do the next month and you compare how well you did from
• 14:47
  the first month. And that's my challenge.
• 14:52
  You are going up against yourself.
• 14:54
  You are telling yourself, yes, you can do this.
• 14:57
  Yes, I have the capability of doing it.
• 15:01
  Yes I can. That's not what the challenge is
• 15:06
  about. It's about mindset.
• 15:10
  That's not all what the challenge is about.
• 15:12
  It's about mindset. It's about your mental health.
• 15:14
  It's about taking care of you and your body.
• 15:18
  I set other goals as well. I tend to drink a lot of energy
• 15:21
  drinks. I go with ZOA still, but halfway
• 15:25
  through the year I started getting into C4 and I tend to
• 15:29
  buy a lot for the week. But I also noticed how I needed
• 15:32
  in order to survive the night. Because I want to stay up and
• 15:35
  work on the podcast or listen to music with my friends, I'm
• 15:39
  putting a stop to my energy drinks.
• 15:44
  I offered up the idea and I was told to do it.
• 15:48
  And now it's on the podcast. It's here.
• 15:49
  It's it's right here. I just.
• 15:51
  Said it. I can't go back.
• 15:55
  You all know what I say all the time.
• 15:56
  If I say in the podcast, it has to happen.
• 16:01
  It has to. I can't give it up just like
• 16:03
  that though. Before, I used to drink twice a
• 16:08
  week. I I do it during podcast
• 16:11
  episodes. When I started recording the
• 16:12
  podcast twice a week, those were the twice a week that I would
• 16:16
  drink it occasionally. Then I started live streaming
• 16:23
  this thing right here and I kind of spent a lot of money this
• 16:26
  year on those things. So I have decided I'm gonna go
• 16:32
  back to twice a week. Maybe this weekend, I don't
• 16:37
  know. We'll see.
• 16:43
  Maybe for the weekend only, just.
• 16:49
  Friday or Saturday or Saturday or.
• 16:50
  Sunday. We'll just have to wait and see.
• 16:54
  One of my best friends. I shout her out.
• 16:57
  Also, Mini Mommy dancer suggested I do one a week.
• 17:02
  I can't do that, not yet. But she's right.
• 17:08
  I'll do twice a week. And once I'm uncomfortable, once
• 17:12
  I'm able to do it, I'll go down to one a week.
• 17:18
  I also have this 32 ounce bottle next to me when I stream, which
• 17:23
  has come to be known as the. Water.
• 17:25
  Well, because I was told it's so huge, it looks like I stole
• 17:31
  water from a village. Somewhere a village is missing
• 17:36
  its water well, and I have it, apparently.
• 17:41
  So here's my other challenge. If you're listening and you see
• 17:44
  me, make sure to remind me to drink from the.
• 17:47
  Well, drink from the well, of course I'll shout you out.
• 17:52
  And thank you. And even if I don't want to just
• 17:56
  keep pushing me to do it, will you appreciate it.
• 18:01
  That's what this challenge is about, Pushing yourself.
• 18:06
  So yeah, Botherless behavior Squad.
• 18:09
  Yeah. If you're listening, Are you
• 18:13
  ready to go on this journey with me?
• 18:16
  Are you ready to get pushed? Before I start the.
• 18:21
  Show I want to end this with this.
• 18:24
  I want to end this by telling you this, whatever it is that
• 18:27
  you want in need of this life. Speak life into existence.
• 18:36
  No excuses. You can have it.
• 18:41
  Go for it. Make it happen.
• 18:45
  Speak it. Believe it.
• 18:48
  Own it. Claim it.
• 19:17
  Welcome back, Fatherless Behavior Squad.
• 19:19
  It is. Here it is the last episode of
• 19:22
  the year 2023. I hope you all had an amazing
• 19:25
  holiday. I hope you all got what you
• 19:28
  wanted. I wish you all nothing but the
• 19:30
  best I feel. I kind of sounded like Adele
• 19:36
  there for a minute. I, on the other hand, can't wait
• 19:39
  to see 2023 in the dust. Put it in the rear view mirror,
• 19:45
  so to speak, if we're going to go by metaphors and cars.
• 19:49
  And let me just say this fast and furious kind of way this
• 19:53
  whole year with me doing the It's Been a Long Day song by Wiz
• 19:56
  Khalifa. Y'all know which one.
• 20:01
  I've mentioned family before. Then let me go back to the first
• 20:04
  movie and reference this part. I can't wait to get a bunch of
• 20:07
  nods and race past the finish line of 2023.
• 20:13
  It's done. It's over.
• 20:16
  I did bring up another metaphor earlier in the week.
• 20:20
  I'm sure your listeners have played Sonic the Hedgehog
• 20:23
  sometime in your life or Twitch career, correct?
• 20:27
  You played Sonic the Hedgehog, right?
• 20:30
  So you know when you get hit by someone in the ring, scatter and
• 20:34
  then you panic. You do the panic, you start
• 20:37
  panicking and you try to at least get some of them back.
• 20:44
  That's what Christmas at the end of the year feels like to me.
• 20:49
  I've been running the whole year at full speed, doing episodes
• 20:53
  after episodes and working my ass off, only to get hit with
• 20:57
  the holidays and the rings have scattered.
• 21:01
  The rings are like scattered about, the coins, the coins,
• 21:06
  rings, whatever. My battery life basically.
• 21:10
  But instead of panicking, I let them go.
• 21:15
  I can rebuild, start fresh in 2024, new rings, new coins,
• 21:20
  whatever the hell that is. New outlook.
• 21:24
  New game. Hello.
• 21:29
  My name's Evo and you're listening to the podcast where I
• 21:32
  usually throw in a 15 minute monologue before I talk about
• 21:37
  what I came to talk about. It's what you're here for,
• 21:41
  right? No, I get it.
• 21:46
  If you're not here for that, cool.
• 21:50
  But if you are, then you're down here with me trying to hide with
• 21:54
  me and try to record another episode of From Under the Apron.
• 22:01
  This is the last episode of the year.
• 22:04
  The season finale, so to speak. My season finale.
• 22:09
  Of course I'm coming back. I just love talking about
• 22:12
  seasons on Here I am back with another recap and review of GLOW
• 22:16
  on Netflix and this one is season one Episode 9.
• 22:22
  But before we talk about that, I want to pull out my bag of
• 22:25
  questions. My not not really a bag of
• 22:29
  questions. They were here.
• 22:32
  I was asked a question by a friend of mine, Daylo 17.
• 22:37
  We love her around here. She asked have you ever been to
• 22:41
  a different country? And I'm so aware my response was
• 22:45
  yes, when I was young, when I was little, around possibly 12
• 22:50
  years, 10 years old, my mom left me in Nicaragua.
• 23:00
  There was a little reaction. Evo.
• 23:04
  What do you mean left you? Left you where?
• 23:10
  Left me in another country in Nicaragua.
• 23:15
  Like she left me there. OK, so we got to rewind back.
• 23:18
  Of course. I, of course wanted to stay
• 23:20
  there, and I shouldn't have. But I was young and dumb, so I
• 23:25
  stayed there anyway. So my mom took me, my sister,
• 23:32
  and my younger brother to her homeland, her country, her
• 23:36
  native country, Nicaragua. Like, of course I realized what
• 23:43
  we were doing when we boarded the plane from California.
• 23:48
  And obviously I knew the reason why, but my brother or sister
• 23:51
  didn't. They didn't know.
• 23:53
  They do now, but they didn't know at the time.
• 23:54
  They understood later in life why, and that's the reason I
• 23:59
  don't come around anymore. My stepfather was abused towards
• 24:05
  my mom and myself, so she did what she had to do in order to
• 24:10
  give me a good life. But she wanted me to meet my
• 24:13
  other side of the family. Her other side of the family
• 24:16
  basically. And thus we went to Nicaragua,
• 24:20
  Central America. Jeez, and I experienced such as
• 24:24
  culture shock there. I met a bunch of cousins and
• 24:32
  uncle, her brother who has a daughter and shares the same
• 24:35
  birthday as me. Yeah, unfortunately, I share it
• 24:38
  with her and my grandmother. Oh boy, my grandmother, who was
• 24:44
  a savage. More on her in a minute because
• 24:52
  I told Daylo this story and it ended up being three different
• 24:55
  stories about my grandma. So I'm.
• 25:00
  I'm just going to tell at least one of them here.
• 25:02
  And if you like what you hear, then maybe I'll tell more
• 25:06
  grandma stories in the near future.
• 25:13
  First, let me tell you this. I was the whitest Mexican kid in
• 25:17
  the room ever. Everyone was brown skinned.
• 25:22
  All the stuff to American people, the whole family,
• 25:25
  everybody, even the neighbors. You know, you know, you know,
• 25:31
  you know that saying it takes a whole village.
• 25:36
  This is what it was. It wasn't a village.
• 25:40
  It was a block. And in this block, everyone knew
• 25:43
  no matter what the T was. It wasn't even a block either.
• 25:46
  It was just like more like, what?
• 25:52
  6 block radius? Jeez A wheeze.
• 25:57
  I was known this was a six block radius.
• 26:02
  So when I say that the next day I was walking around the block
• 26:04
  and people already gave me a nickname like what?
• 26:11
  What? So they gave me the once
• 26:13
  overlook and said we're going to call this kid Celle.
• 26:18
  Celle means white boy. I I asked.
• 26:26
  Nobody said my real name. They just said Chile Guillonda
• 26:30
  Nondevas, boss. And of course I'd answer back.
• 26:37
  Like I asked my grandma what that meant and she told me and
• 26:40
  I'm like, oh, she said, nothing wrong with that.
• 26:44
  It didn't mean that they all like you.
• 26:47
  It's like, all right, cool, that's great.
• 26:50
  Awesome, Sweet. My mom stayed here for three
• 26:54
  months. Summer vacation, I figure, you
• 26:56
  know. But eventually she had to go
• 27:00
  back because some guy in California was missing his kids
• 27:05
  and he couldn't stand it. So, you know, my mom had to call
• 27:10
  him back, call him and say, like, are you OK where I am?
• 27:14
  Come on. Yeah, that was her.
• 27:18
  So she told us we're all going back home.
• 27:21
  I fucking didn't want to go back home.
• 27:24
  I was having fun in Nicaragua, enjoying this fucking life, bro.
• 27:29
  I liked it here. Me Gusta Aqui in this day
• 27:36
  country excited. So you know, I liked it here.
• 27:47
  I I enjoyed it here. I was at ease here.
• 27:50
  Nothing was going on here in my life to in a traumatic A
• 27:56
  traumatic sense. So I asked my mom if I can stay.
• 28:03
  My grandma said, Oh yeah, we could we we could we could look
• 28:08
  out for him. This lady said we I didn't
• 28:12
  understand what she meant by we, but she said we she said we
• 28:17
  would look out for him. And she also said the whole
• 28:19
  block can watch over me as well. I didn't understand what that
• 28:22
  meant. I was confused.
• 28:25
  But then I got it. I got what she meant by that.
• 28:30
  Because of that comment, I was well protected.
• 28:33
  I tell you I was well protected because this is a part about
• 28:37
  grandma stories and I'm about to just like, poof, it's gonna be
• 28:41
  out there for you to guys, when I tell you she was well known.
• 28:49
  I she was a nobody. Fucks with her kind of boss
• 28:55
  lady. OK, I was fucking scared for my
• 29:01
  life. At one point I asked my mom,
• 29:04
  where did you send me? I didn't notice until I saw her
• 29:11
  whack this man across the head with a rock.
• 29:15
  OK, OK, so let me take the picture real quick.
• 29:19
  Let me tell you this story. And then, like, we can go from
• 29:24
  there. I was outside playing with the
• 29:26
  cousins and then I see my grandma arguing with this man.
• 29:31
  We all stood around to see what was going on or what was going
• 29:34
  to happen. The cousins were just hanging
• 29:36
  out and like, we just see them. Like we go.
• 29:39
  We do like a group saying, like, you know how everybody there's a
• 29:42
  fight at school and we're about to freaking watch.
• 29:44
  But we stopped playing. We're just looking out and I'm
• 29:47
  like, looking at my grandma like is does she need help?
• 29:50
  Should we go help her? This dude is just, like,
• 29:52
  standing in rear right in front of her feet.
• 29:54
  He's like, hasn't gotten out of her face yet.
• 29:57
  And he's all like, no, no, no. Just like, you know, let the
• 30:01
  adults do their thing. And I'm like, why is my cousin
• 30:06
  saying this shit? Like, what?
• 30:08
  What? What's going on?
• 30:13
  We just all stood around and then one of my little cousins
• 30:18
  went to go get my uncle. As like as he was coming out, he
• 30:23
  was standing right beside me and he asked me what's going on and
• 30:26
  I'm just like, I don't know. I mean, I just, they're arguing
• 30:34
  and next thing I know, this man spits on her face and oh boy, my
• 30:41
  uncle took two steps forward because he was going to go over
• 30:46
  there and fucking do not disrespect my mother.
• 30:51
  He took two steps forward and my grandmother had a rock with her
• 31:03
  in her right hand. Me and my uncle saw it and we're
• 31:08
  just like, oh shit, you see that?
• 31:10
  Yeah, we see it. So we take those two steps
• 31:13
  forward. It was over with.
• 31:15
  She did one of these, freaking. She did one of these where she
• 31:21
  fucking turned, grabbed right hand, smacked the rock across
• 31:27
  his face. Breaks in half the rock, breaks
• 31:29
  in half. He is out of it.
• 31:32
  She wails the dude, bam. And my uncle just stopped in bed
• 31:42
  fucking stride and just like, oh, bullshit, OK, I guess she
• 31:46
  doesn't need my help. When we're doing the whole, it's
• 31:50
  like, oh shit, you know, like, Oh my God, wow, did everybody
• 31:55
  just see what I just saw? Nobody is reacting to the way
• 31:59
  I'm reacting. I'm like, wow, She stands over
• 32:06
  him and looks down at him and like, nothing, she just walks
• 32:09
  towards us. Let's go.
• 32:14
  I'm like, what just happened? The cops get called and
• 32:22
  everyone's gathered around, away, away from the place.
• 32:27
  They pick him up and haul his ass to jail.
• 32:31
  They asked what happened and nobody snitched.
• 32:34
  They put, they haul his ass to jail because he was so fucking
• 32:38
  drunk. And I'm like, nobody snitched,
• 32:44
  nobody said anything that that's amazing.
• 32:48
  That's when I knew my grandma was a boss and well respected
• 32:51
  around the neighborhood and I was like, oh shit, I I'm
• 32:59
  uncomfortable and scared for my life now.
• 33:01
  But I shouldn't have been because I was well protected.
• 33:05
  Everyone knew me. Everyone knew as hey, you're
• 33:09
  that kid, right? You're that Lady, Mikaela
• 33:14
  Artolas. Oh, shit.
• 33:16
  Did I just talk to her? Mikaela, you're Mikaela's son,
• 33:21
  right? Or grandson.
• 33:22
  Right. I'm like, yes, yes, I am.
• 33:25
  Oh, OK. Like, how do you know about her?
• 33:28
  Oh, we all know about her. Everybody knows about her.
• 33:33
  She's well respected. Senora.
• 33:35
  Donya, donya, Michaela. I'm like, Oh my God.
• 33:39
  I didn't know shit about Godfather at the time, but in
• 33:42
  time, I'm just like my grandmother was a Corleone.
• 33:48
  Like she handled bit. She handled business, bro.
• 33:52
  She's still on business, bro. All right, I want to tell you
• 33:59
  two more stories, but Oh my, you know, I'm going to save these
• 34:03
  two stories because they're fucking incredibly amazing.
• 34:07
  I the other story. OK, so here's here's a little
• 34:14
  teaser. There's another story where she
• 34:17
  runs after my cousin's best friend.
• 34:22
  Like she we drive, we were inside a cab and she just takes
• 34:26
  off to go after my cousin's best friend.
• 34:31
  I don't know what happened either.
• 34:32
  I do know what happened, but at the time I'm just like, what the
• 34:36
  hell? Another story, another story is
• 34:41
  when my grandmother had a fucking machete ready to fucking
• 34:46
  attack the man that hit her son with a car.
• 34:52
  And I'm like, for the love of God, this is fucking crazy.
• 34:56
  What? Where did I end up?
• 34:58
  In what kind of country is this? I don't want to live here
• 35:01
  anymore. I called my mom, but damn dude,
• 35:08
  it's insane. So these are the two stories.
• 35:11
  And there's more stories like I think I got to like, go back and
• 35:14
  think about what she's done and May God rest her tea, May God
• 35:20
  rest her soul, because she's a fucking lovely ass woman.
• 35:23
  But at the same time, wow, what a machete.
• 35:30
  There are more stories about how savage she was, and maybe if you
• 35:34
  like the first one. If you listen to the first one
• 35:36
  and you want more, I'll probably put in more on the next few
• 35:39
  episodes of the next year. Grandma Story.
• 35:42

• 35:46

• 38:40
  of the Blood Rest in Peace synopsis.
• 38:45
  With the show's future in jeopardy bashing The Lady's
• 38:48
  search for a creative way to drum up cash, a pair of
• 38:52
  revelations leave Sam reeling cold open.
• 38:57
  And news report talks of TWA flight 847, which was hijacked 5
• 39:03
  days ago by Shia Muslims, is now sitting on the tarmac of Beirut
• 39:08
  airport. Yeah, I got that.
• 39:11
  The Beirut airport. They have an exclusive interview
• 39:14
  with the pilot Captain John test track.
• 39:17
  The Glow Girls are in someone's motel room watching the
• 39:20
  interview. Transworld Airlines flight 847
• 39:23
  was a flight from Cairo to San Diego, with en route stopped at
• 39:27
  Ayton's, Rome, Boston and Los Angeles on the morning of June
• 39:31
  14th, 1985. Flight 847 was hijacked shortly
• 39:35
  after takeoff from Ayton. The hijackers demanded the
• 39:38
  release of 700 Shiite Muslims from Israeli custody and took
• 39:41
  the plane repeatedly to Beirut and now gears.
• 39:45
  Later Western analysis considered members of the
• 39:47
  Hezbollah group and allegation Hezbollah rejects.
• 39:52
  The passengers and crew endured a three day intercontinental
• 39:55
  ordeal. Some passengers were threatened
• 39:58
  and some beaten. Passengers with Jewish sounding
• 40:00
  names were separated from the others.
• 40:02
  United States Navy diver Robert Statham was murdered and his
• 40:07
  body was thrown onto the apron. Dozens of passengers were held
• 40:11
  hostages over the next two weeks until released by their captors
• 40:15
  after some of their demands were met.
• 40:20
  In the 1986 movie, The Delta Force, starring Chuck Norris
• 40:24
  drew inspiration from these events.
• 40:28
  Tammy comments at the bathroom on the plane has to be
• 40:30
  disgusting by now. Stacy says that there's nobody
• 40:33
  else on board, that they took off everyone else and hid them
• 40:37
  in Hezbollah. Melrose says that they're in
• 40:40
  Beirut, that Hezbollah is a group of people.
• 40:42
  The city they're in is Beirut. Artie, who is Beirut?
• 40:48
  The mad bomber on GLOW, asked that they stop saying that word.
• 40:52
  Everyone gets uncomfortable and the GLOW logo appears on the
• 40:55
  screen. Next scene, Debbie meets her
• 40:59
  husband Mark, at a cafe, saying that she's sorry she's late, but
• 41:03
  she had her own hostage situation.
• 41:05
  Referring to their son Randy, she says that the hijackers have
• 41:09
  nothing on their little terrorist.
• 41:12
  She tells him she'll be back at five.
• 41:14
  He asks she's taking off and she says he has practice in an hour.
• 41:18
  He says that in an hour he could have three meals.
• 41:21
  She sits down saying that she's not staying for him, but the
• 41:24
  whole motel has no food and she needs to load up on carbs.
• 41:29
  Mark jokingly tells Randy Look at Mommy.
• 41:33
  Go. Look how scary Mommy is eating.
• 41:38
  Sam sits with a group of executives like KDTV, Ronald
• 41:41
  Reagan reporting that the hostages have been freed.
• 41:44
  Glenn Klitnick comments that it's too bad the hostage
• 41:47
  situation is over, that it was a rating bonanza.
• 41:50
  And right there is the truth. All they want is the ratings.
• 41:56
  Everybody. All the fucking stations.
• 41:59
  That's why they throw in all the horrible situations.
• 42:06
  He shows Sam the Globe programming lineup slotting in a
• 42:08
  chalkboard. They're between Doctor Jean
• 42:11
  Scott and Miyamoto Musashi, a new anime.
• 42:15
  Look both of them up. They seem legit, especially the
• 42:18
  anime. Sam quips that they're between a
• 42:22
  nutjob title evangelist and an Oriental cartoon.
• 42:26
  Glenn says that he'd be surprised that it's a great
• 42:28
  slot. Glenn says that overall, they're
• 42:32
  extremely positive on the show, but they do have a few notes.
• 42:35
  They didn't like the colorful language or the KKK.
• 42:39
  What did they What they did love was the two black girls.
• 42:44
  Sam sarcastically says. Oh, did you now?
• 42:48
  Glenn says social beneficial programming is part of our
• 42:52
  mission. Bash finally arrived,
• 42:54
  apologizing for being late. He asked if they're determining
• 42:58
  A filming location yet. Glenn is surprised they wouldn't
• 43:02
  have that already. Sam is, however, says that they
• 43:05
  have a great venue already picked out.
• 43:09
  Bash asked if maybe KDTV has an extra studio as an alternative,
• 43:13
  Glenn says that they were very explicit that KDTV provides the
• 43:17
  cameras and airwaves and they provide everything else.
• 43:21
  It's part of the reason they agree to it.
• 43:23
  Bash calls it first time producer jitters.
• 43:27
  The meeting ends, and as they walk outside, Sam asks Bash
• 43:30
  where he's been for two weeks. Sam.
• 43:35
  Bash baffles, and Sam says that doesn't need to hear his trouble
• 43:41
  itinerary. He needs $9000 so he doesn't
• 43:43
  lose the venue. Bash tells him that there's no
• 43:46
  more money, that his mother cut him off.
• 43:49
  He tried to turn the money around at the race track, but
• 43:51
  his horse came in 7th, Sam says. What about Glow?
• 43:55
  What about his movie? They had an agreement that he's
• 43:59
  the human checkbook. If he's not, then he's just an
• 44:02
  over eager fanboy who sold 14 women on some crazy pipe dream
• 44:08
  bashes it. It's not over yet, but Sam
• 44:10
  realizes that when there's no more money, it's over.
• 44:16
  He leaves. Oh fuck.
• 44:19
  At some point, somebody made it like a whole thing that to say
• 44:25
  pipe fanboy wasn't a word in 1986.
• 44:30
  OK, you know what? Shut up.
• 44:33
  Doesn't fucking matter. Leave it alone.
• 44:36
  So whoever wrote that IMDb on IMDb?
• 44:41
  Let it go. We cut to the gym.
• 44:48
  Sam breaks the bad news to the girls.
• 44:50
  He says that you can't be canceled if you've never
• 44:54
  actually aired. They're on hiatus and should
• 44:56
  probably start looking for other jobs.
• 44:59
  Debbie says they've all worked really hard, and Carmen agrees
• 45:01
  that she doesn't talk to her dad anymore.
• 45:05
  She wanted this so badly. Big Giant Johnson, who is a real
• 45:12
  wrestler, I guess. Ruth says she's done so many
• 45:16
  plays with no budget where they had to build their own scenery.
• 45:19
  She wants to appear, pan being carried around by stagehands for
• 45:22
  three hours because they couldn't afford a flying rig.
• 45:27
  Debbie asked how much they need, and Sam replies that it's $9000.
• 45:32
  Everyone groans or curses. Debbie says they can't make that
• 45:36
  in their sleep. They can fundraise.
• 45:38
  She says they should do a car wash Ruth agrees that everyone
• 45:41
  in LA has a car. Debbie agrees they can wear
• 45:44
  bikini tops and pretend to fawn over everyone's cars.
• 45:48
  Her college sorority raised thousands of dollars for world
• 45:50
  hunger and used it to remodel the deck.
• 45:54
  Next scene, Bash meets with his mother, Birdie, who was played
• 45:58
  by Elizabeth Perkins, who has starred in six, three episodes
• 46:00
  of Weeds, Curb Your Enthusiasm, the 2016 Ghostbusters remake.
• 46:06
  Did anybody like enjoy that one? The Moody's?
• 46:09
  And she was also one of the voices of Ultimate Alan May in
• 46:12
  the 2023 film Spider Man. Across the spider verse, Birdie
• 46:18
  comments that all she had to do to get him over to the house was
• 46:21
  to freeze his trust. She says that she'll remember
• 46:26
  that and has him hand her a pair of reading glasses.
• 46:29
  He asked about the singing chart she's examining if his sister
• 46:32
  Lily is getting remarried. She tells him that his sister
• 46:35
  left the Persian months ago. She's having a fundraiser for
• 46:39
  Nancy Reagan's Just Say No campaign, No hope for Dope.
• 46:46
  Is that what that was? What was it?
• 46:51
  Say no to drugs. Say Nope for her.
• 46:55
  Hope. Nope.
• 46:55
  Dope. Oh God.
• 46:57
  She calls the calligraphy on the invitations terrible.
• 47:00
  And he agreed that there's a lot to produce.
• 47:03
  She has a lot of people counting on her.
• 47:05
  She asks what he wants and he tells her he's requesting A
• 47:08
  thaw. She tells him that she won't,
• 47:13
  that he he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in less
• 47:15
  than three months. She can't imagine where all the
• 47:19
  money has gone unless he's running for office.
• 47:22
  He tells her the truth about GLOW, saying that it's the first
• 47:26
  time he's put her money into something he really cares about.
• 47:30
  He just needs 9000 more dollars to finish what he started.
• 47:34
  He calls it an opportunity for her to get in on a new venture.
• 47:38
  Saying he can get her a business plan, he suggests that she come
• 47:43
  on down to the gym and see it herself.
• 47:45
  She is less than enthusiastic about the idea.
• 47:49
  He asked her to come in. He asked her to cut him a check
• 47:52
  and he'll pay her back. She asked us when is it that
• 47:55
  they talk so openly about money? He says that he has people
• 47:59
  counting on him and that it's important.
• 48:02
  She tells him that keeping poor black children off crack is
• 48:06
  important to her. She says she needs him at the
• 48:09
  party went on time and to introduce her since Bill Buckley
• 48:12
  canceled. The girls hold their car wash
• 48:17
  outside the motel. A car pulls up and Debbie says
• 48:20
  that it's $10.00 for hand wash or $20.00 for interior work.
• 48:24
  The man agrees to do it between dollars.
• 48:26
  Stem sits and watches, smoking. Justine approaches him, asking
• 48:32
  if he really thinks the show might go away.
• 48:34
  He says that it's not sleep away camp, it's a job and that all
• 48:38
  jobs are crap. Shoot, she stares and he asks if
• 48:42
  he stole more of his stuff. She walks away.
• 48:46
  Mark pulls up, and Debbie says that she didn't invite him.
• 48:49
  He says he wanted to support women's sports.
• 48:52
  Additionally, they gave him a new parking spot at work, and
• 48:55
  his car is filthy from the fig tree it's been underneath.
• 48:58
  She tells him he'll have to pay double for the fig juice.
• 49:01
  He says it's OK. Sam stares at Mark, asking if
• 49:05
  that's the guy, Ruth, who walked away from washing a car.
• 49:10
  After nosing, Mark says that he is and Sam says that he's not
• 49:14
  what he expected. Ruth asked if he was expecting
• 49:17
  Sean Penn. Sam says that he was expecting
• 49:21
  someone less like a giant cabbage patch kid, that he he's
• 49:26
  even better looking than him. Yeah, I mean true, Ruth says.
• 49:31
  She's a sucker for non threatening unavailable man who
• 49:33
  compliments her cherry has inside complaining of soap in
• 49:38
  her eyes. And ask Keith, who is lifting
• 49:40
  weights, why he isn't helping. He says he doesn't look good in
• 49:42
  a bikini, yet the phone ring he gets and it's for Cherry.
• 49:49
  She asks who it is and he says the chick named Mallory Mallory,
• 49:52
  the Jay agent from the first a scene of the pilot episode.
• 49:57
  She's looking at Cherry's headshot.
• 49:58
  She says Cherry Vang can't possibly be her real name.
• 50:04
  Cherry asked if she knows her. She says she got her name from
• 50:07
  Clint, Nick Katie to be developing a show called
• 50:09
  Chambers and Gold. Essentially Cagney and Lacey
• 50:13
  with a black girl and a Jew. They like to bring her in to try
• 50:16
  out for it. Cherry is surprised Mallory
• 50:20
  tells her that the audition is tomorrow. 646 star Sunset Keith
• 50:26
  Asked what the call was about, she said she thinks she's just
• 50:28
  got an audition. 6464 Sunset is still the address for the
• 50:33
  building of Hollywood offices. Hi everyone.
• 50:38
  I'm Lisa. And I'm Dawn.
• 50:39
  And if you've ever watched ATV show and thought to yourself, Oh

• 51:37
  Popcorn next, seeing the girls and Sam
• 51:54
  gather around a campfire that night.
• 51:57
  Bash shows up and Melrose calls him the Little Match Girl.
• 52:02
  I didn't know what that was in reference to, so I googled
• 52:06
  Little Match Girl. It is a literary fairy tale by
• 52:11
  Danish poet and author Hans Christine Andersen, the story
• 52:15
  about a dying child's dream and Hope.
• 52:18
  It was first published in in 1845.
• 52:21
  It's been adapted to various media, including animated live
• 52:24
  action and VR films as well as television musicals.
• 52:28
  And that's exactly what Bash is. His dying dream.
• 52:32
  And Hope is wrestling and getting the TV show out there
• 52:38
  and the way that Melrose just calls him.
• 52:41
  Oh look, it's the little match girl.
• 52:45
  Hi. And he just takes it in like,
• 52:50
  fuck you. Bash clears his throat.
• 52:54
  Cherry says he doesn't look poor.
• 52:56
  Debbie says he's not poor, he's broke.
• 52:59
  There's a big difference. Bash asked to talk to Sam.
• 53:02
  He says that the he can say whatever he wants in front of
• 53:05
  the girls. He says that he spoke to his
• 53:08
  mother and begged. Begged that it wasn't easy.
• 53:15
  Ruth says that clean, that that they cleaned that skin out of
• 53:18
  upholstery to try to keep things afloat.
• 53:22
  Bash asked how much did they make.
• 53:24
  Sheila, holding the take, says that it was $287.00, though she
• 53:28
  hasn't counted the change yet. Ruth says that they'll have
• 53:32
  another car wash, do one every day until they raise enough
• 53:35
  money. Melrose agrees, saying they'll
• 53:38
  step up their game and go topless.
• 53:40
  Oh, so Bash says that his mother's having a fundraiser.
• 53:45
  It doesn't matter what it's for, It's a room full of rich people
• 53:48
  with open checkbooks. He suggests.
• 53:50
  They crash it. Devi asks if they get to dress
• 53:54
  up. Of course they do, so they crash
• 53:56
  the fundraiser. Sam asked Ruth why they're all
• 54:00
  dressed like fancy Mormons. She tells him that Bash said to
• 54:03
  look conservative and they didn't have a lot of other
• 54:06
  options. Ruth here is wearing the same
• 54:10
  outfit as her audition, A callback just like in the first
• 54:14
  name in the pilot episode where she auditions for Mallory.
• 54:18
  Both of these episodes, this one and the pilot, were written by
• 54:22
  the creators of the show, Liv Flaheed and Carly Mensch, so
• 54:26
  it's no surprise there that they used Mallory again.
• 54:31
  Bash greets a man named Gary at the door, who tells him he's on
• 54:35
  the list for plus one, not 20. Bash tells him that these are
• 54:41
  the Doug girls in quotation. Doug Girls.
• 54:45
  He asked if he means the former drug act, and Bash agrees that
• 54:49
  they're from wad, you know, wrestlers against drugs.
• 54:55
  Yeah. Gary says again that they're not
• 54:57
  on the list, and Bash says that it's because they're that
• 55:01
  they've turned their lives around.
• 55:03
  He introduced Jenny, saying that just two months ago she was
• 55:07
  selling her body for crack, and now she's training every day.
• 55:10
  She came here tonight to tell her story, and just as Jenny is
• 55:14
  about to talk, Bash interrupts and says through a translator.
• 55:18
  Because she doesn't speak English.
• 55:22
  Jenny just sits there, stands there, agreeing.
• 55:26
  Gary, let's admit telling them not to mingle, not to steal
• 55:30
  nothing. Sam, last one in the door walks
• 55:34
  in before telling Gary he's their drug counselor.
• 55:37
  Please choose life inside Birdie tells a guest that she thinks
• 55:42
  that in 1986 they will not only keep the Senate, but break the
• 55:46
  liberal chokehold on the House. Also, Birdie's making reference
• 55:52
  to keeping control of the Senate and doing well in the US House
• 55:55
  elections of 1986. That year, the Republican lost 8
• 55:59
  Senate seats in control of the Senate.
• 56:01
  They also lost five House seats. It was it wouldn't be until 1994
• 56:06
  that the Republican Party would win control of both houses of
• 56:09
  Congress for the first time since 1954.
• 56:14
  Bash hearing Chokehold says that she does like wrestling.
• 56:18
  See chokehold? Debbie steps up, smiling, and
• 56:21
  introduces himself as a friend of Bash.
• 56:23
  Bertie says Debbie wears a lot of makeup.
• 56:25
  Debbie says thank you, but it's confused by that remark.
• 56:29
  Sam is hanging out with Ruth, saying that it's ridiculous how
• 56:32
  they're supposedly fighting the drug war when really they're
• 56:35
  getting loaded on Cur Royales. He calls them all white right
• 56:40
  wing idiot as she says he's grumpier than usual.
• 56:44
  He says that they lost the venue.
• 56:46
  The lady called him an hour ago. He says he's there to drink and
• 56:50
  not be alone before he never sees any of them again.
• 56:52
  She tells them that they'll find another venue, that they may be
• 56:56
  down but they're not out. Sam says Ruth is like half
• 57:00
  Pollyanna, half Vince Lombardi. Ruth says she loves a good Hail
• 57:06
  Mary. She says she's going to charm
• 57:08
  some old people and steal their money.
• 57:12
  Sam approaches a couple of musicians, asking if they have
• 57:16
  any blow. One says they don't and ask if
• 57:19
  they want some. So they do some blow using a
• 57:23
  picture of Ronald and Nancy Reagan as a base.
• 57:26
  That was pure irony right there. I was fucking laughing my ass
• 57:31
  off at that. Let's do fucking blow.
• 57:35
  On top of Ronald and Nancy Reagan's picture, one of the
• 57:40
  musicians says that Two more of the Beverly Hills parties and
• 57:42
  they can get studio time. Sam Mcgree saying that he's been
• 57:46
  making a wrestling TV show just to fund his next movie.
• 57:50
  He said that he's been working on it for 10 years, a semi
• 57:54
  autobiographical psychosexual time travel drama.
• 57:58
  What the fuck does that mean? The the musician asks just what
• 58:02
  that means. The same, and Sam lays out the
• 58:05
  plot of the film. OK, so it's about an all
• 58:09
  American boy who can't stop jerking off to fantasy, but it's
• 58:11
  about having sex with his mother.
• 58:15
  Yes, one of the musicians, Face goes from excited to hear about
• 58:19
  what it's about to what the hell did I walk into?
• 58:22
  What? What was that again?
• 58:24
  Sam says. Right jerk power.
• 58:27
  It makes him hate himself. So he builds a time machine to
• 58:31
  go into the future where she's old and hideous, so he's going
• 58:34
  to escape the Oedipal impulses. But he puts the wrong date in
• 58:40
  the machine and goes back in time instead to the 1950s, where
• 58:44
  she's just a horny teenager and she spends the rest of the movie
• 58:47
  just trying to fuck him instead of his dad.
• 58:53
  That's awfully familiar. Another musician says that he's
• 58:57
  already seen that film. Sam, describing Sam, says no, he
• 59:01
  hasn't. He hasn't made it yet.
• 59:02
  It's called Mothers and Lovers, the musician said.
• 59:08
  It's called Back to the Future, he said.
• 59:13
  It's just open. It's really funny.
• 59:16
  They have sighs and curses. They made my movie.
• 59:20
  Oh, my God, All right. Back at the party, Melrose goes
• 59:25
  for alcohol for Rhonda reminds her that they're supposed to be
• 59:27
  sober, and Melrose suggests that she fall off the wagon and sober
• 59:31
  up by the end of the party. Rhonda says they'll go to a bar
• 59:35
  afterwards. Instead, Ruth talks with Debbie,
• 59:38
  saying that what she's burned is that she really likes
• 59:41
  Candelabra, scones, scones, scones.
• 59:45
  Debbie says that she's learning not to look directly into
• 59:48
  Bashor's mom's eyes. She says that she knows Mark has
• 59:52
  been around a lot lately, and she appreciates Ruth getting the
• 59:55
  fuck out the way. Get out the way.
• 1:00:00
  Move, bitch, get out. She tells Ruth that Mark wants
• 1:00:04
  to work things out for her to come home and try and go to
• 1:00:08
  therapy. Ruth asks what she's going to
• 1:00:11
  do, and she admits she doesn't know.
• 1:00:13
  She says that Debbie will get something else after the show
• 1:00:17
  doesn't pan out, that she always has.
• 1:00:22
  Debbie says that the craziest part of all this, that she
• 1:00:24
  actually likes wrestling. It's like she's backing her body
• 1:00:28
  and it doesn't belong to Randy or to Mark.
• 1:00:30
  She feels like a superhero. She admits, though, that things
• 1:00:35
  are a mess, asking what it'll look like.
• 1:00:38
  Even if they get the money they need, nobody might even watch it
• 1:00:43
  as they're not even that good. Ruth says she knows but and she
• 1:00:48
  stops in mid sentence and it looks like they're getting along
• 1:00:51
  again. But Ruth realizes what she did,
• 1:00:53
  so she looks away. Debbie tells Ruth she's
• 1:00:57
  sometimes sad that she took away the option of them being able to
• 1:01:00
  have a normal conversation. Back upstairs, Justine finds Sam
• 1:01:06
  laying on the floor of a room, listening to a record of Perry
• 1:01:09
  Como's magic moment. She walks into the room and
• 1:01:14
  closes the door behind her, asking him if he's OK.
• 1:01:17
  He says he didn't recognize her. She asked if she can talk to
• 1:01:22
  him, and he agrees that she can join his pity party.
• 1:01:26
  Back downstairs, Bash Toast Pretty for organizing the event.
• 1:01:31
  He says that he'd like to introduce some powerful woman
• 1:01:33
  woman who has struggled with drug addiction and found that
• 1:01:36
  coming to the gym every day to learn how to wrestle has kept
• 1:01:39
  him sober. The woman of Wad you know
• 1:01:44
  wrestlers are construct. He asked everyone to listen to
• 1:01:47
  their stories and open their checkbooks for the love of God,
• 1:01:52
  comments Birdie whispering. Carmen gets up first, spinning a
• 1:01:56
  story about how hitting her low .2 months before waking up naked
• 1:02:00
  and high on the crack. The rest all spend their stories
• 1:02:04
  of getting high on the crack. Melrose mentions her rehab
• 1:02:08
  facilities that she has gone, giving them some authenticity to
• 1:02:12
  the stories. And Jenny speaking in her
• 1:02:15
  Cambodian language. Kumar Bertie tells Bash to tell
• 1:02:20
  the girls to stop talking and introduce her already, she said.
• 1:02:26
  He said there's just one more, one more.
• 1:02:28
  Mom, wait for it. Ruth stepped forward, saying
• 1:02:30
  she's made terrible decisions. Some she doesn't even remember.
• 1:02:34
  She hit rock bottom when she slept with her friend's husband,
• 1:02:38
  sober and insecure, acting out of a deep, well, resentment, and
• 1:02:43
  it fucked up a real friendship. But she found wrestling and it
• 1:02:47
  saved her, going to the gym every day and seeing the women
• 1:02:51
  struggle to use their bodies and learn something new.
• 1:02:54
  It's better feeling than drugs. Specifically, the Crack Bash
• 1:03:03
  gives Ruth a thumbs up as he's smiling.

• 1:06:23
  Bertie grabs a check from Ruth, calling as misappropriation of
• 1:06:26
  solicited funds. She asked Ruth for her name and
• 1:06:29
  she gives it. She says that she's always been
• 1:06:31
  embarrassed by bash of obsession with wrestling.
• 1:06:36
  She's been embarrassed by a lot of things about him.
• 1:06:38
  Wrestling, though, always sounded like pure trash.
• 1:06:41
  Fuck you, Bertie, she tells Ruth.
• 1:06:44
  That's what she said. It's the first time she's come
• 1:06:47
  close to getting what all the fuss is about.
• 1:06:50
  She thanks her asking Bash again.
• 1:06:52
  What is it that he needs? He says again that it's $9000.
• 1:06:58
  She tells him she's not giving him any more money, but they do
• 1:07:02
  have a ballroom at the Hayward. She asked if maybe that's too
• 1:07:05
  fancy for wrestling. He says that it isn't that it's
• 1:07:08
  great, Perfect. Bertie takes the check away from
• 1:07:12
  Bash and walks away. Ruth says that he should hug
• 1:07:15
  her, but he says they don't do that here.
• 1:07:20
  Upstairs again, Sam talks with Justine, both sitting on the
• 1:07:23
  bed, saying that he worked on things so long, only for someone
• 1:07:28
  to get there first. He wonders why even bothers to
• 1:07:31
  try to make anything. She says that's what he does.
• 1:07:35
  He says she's probably the only one who still cares about his
• 1:07:38
  work. She agrees that she does, and he
• 1:07:41
  says he's going to stop trying. It's not about the next thing,
• 1:07:45
  because that'll never happen. It's just whatever's in front of
• 1:07:48
  you. He says that she is pretty, but
• 1:07:53
  he doesn't even know if she's over 18.
• 1:07:55
  He says he doesn't care and kisses her.
• 1:07:58
  Come on, yo. Whoa there, yo.
• 1:08:04
  She pulls away, shocked. He's confused, saying she's been
• 1:08:08
  following him around like a puppy.
• 1:08:12
  Gross. She screams at him.
• 1:08:16
  I am your daughter. What the big reveal right here.
• 1:08:23
  Her mother is Rosalie Biaggi from Sacramento.
• 1:08:26
  Sam says he never lived in Sacramento.
• 1:08:29
  I did me. I still don't know her, she
• 1:08:32
  tells him he was at a Black Panther rally and got kicked
• 1:08:35
  out, went to her bar and went home with her.
• 1:08:40
  He thinks about it. Oh, he says He curses.
• 1:08:45
  He crosses his arms the way he crosses his arms.
• 1:08:49
  So petty, so fucking like with his lip curling.
• 1:08:52
  Like, what do you want? I so whatever.
• 1:08:59
  He's like, asking what? It is that she wants.
• 1:09:01
  If it's money or Ben bone marrow, 'cause you know, hey,
• 1:09:05
  we're related. I want your your fucking body or
• 1:09:08
  whatever. She just stands there and he
• 1:09:10
  asks her to stop looking at him. She pleads the room.
• 1:09:16
  He continues to sit there for another minute with his arms
• 1:09:19
  crossed, and then the scene turns to black and Perry Como's
• 1:09:22
  magic moment plays again as the episode ends.
• 1:09:27
  So in conclusion, Justina Sam's daughter, she wasn't trying to
• 1:09:33
  like, you know, stalk him. She only applied to be a
• 1:09:40
  wrestler because she wanted to be closer and get to know her
• 1:09:42
  father. And then she didn't want him
• 1:09:45
  selling out. So that's why she sold.
• 1:09:47
  She took the video, the camera, the camera, the video camera,
• 1:09:53
  and blamed it on Rhonda. She wanted.
• 1:09:57
  She didn't want her father, whatever, you know what I mean?
• 1:10:02
  But still, there's also the progression between Ruth and
• 1:10:06
  Devi out there and now able to talk a little bit to each other.
• 1:10:10
  Apart from that whole montage of them training and them fighting
• 1:10:17
  each other, they're still not friends.
• 1:10:19
  Maybe Debbie will forget Ruth, who just basically apologized to
• 1:10:22
  a room full of strangers and 13 other women about how much of a
• 1:10:25
  shit hit she is. It All in all, this wasn't a bad
• 1:10:30
  episode. It really wasn't.
• 1:10:34
  I was like, eh, it's episode 9, the 10th episode, the last
• 1:10:38
  episode. It's like, all right, here's
• 1:10:40
  this right here. You guys lost the venue, but
• 1:10:44
  let's see what else we can do for you.
• 1:10:45
  I guess I can get behind the whole bash baking for his trust
• 1:10:48
  fund back but not getting any money still, he basically has to
• 1:10:52
  work for it. Now for Sam part, there could
• 1:10:57
  have been a better written part instead of the whole.
• 1:11:00
  I don't care if you're not older than any teen part, he just
• 1:11:04
  looks like a creep and pedophile now.
• 1:11:06
  Like, I can't get out of my head.
• 1:11:07
  It's like, dude, you almost try to like kiss this girl who you
• 1:11:10
  saw. It was like younger than 18.
• 1:11:14
  You didn't care. And now you know what?
• 1:11:18
  If Justine wasn't his daughter? Like.
• 1:11:23
  I really, I wish they didn't do that.
• 1:11:27
  They should have written something else other than that.
• 1:11:31
  But yeah, it was it was, it was an all right episode, I guess.
• 1:11:35
  What did you guys think of it? And with that, we wrap up the
• 1:11:41
  2023 season. That's it.
• 1:11:44
  Next episode will probably be in the middle of January and it
• 1:11:47
  will be the season finale of season one of GLOW and it's
• 1:11:52
  Royal Rumble Month. So I can't wait to tell you what
• 1:11:54
  I got planned on the show going forward.
• 1:11:57
  The 2023 wrap up. This has been the 2023 wrap up.
