• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I would like to share another email, also from listener Paula,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: who was on an emailing streak this weekend. In regards
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to last week's Chicken Sister's Episode three review, she says,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: once again, I enjoyed your recap, but I have to
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: say I have a very different take on what is
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: going on here.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: In short, I think.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You're being too hard on Amanda in May and too
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: easy on Gus. I also think a lot of changes
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: are gonna happen to Sabrina. You don't just introduce a
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: guy named Gruster.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Oh I hope.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: So that's my favorite line I read this weekend. You
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: don't just introduce a guy named Gruster.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: That is a really unusual name, and we got it
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: was very gruster light in this episode. But he did return.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: He did return.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: He may be the most likable person on this show.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Right back to being hard on Gus. Gus was a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: terrible parent, Don't get me wrong.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But Meggie some behind the scenes stuff of what happened
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in the book, and so I have a little tender
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: heart for Gus.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I set a lot of time thinking about this comment.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And I don't think Paula is wrong that Gus Gus
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: was the mom of children, but Gus is also dealing
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: with a mental illness, and Gus didn't have anybody. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: think if you're in a place where you need to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: make some changes for the protection of your children, it's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: not always easy to be the sole person responsible for
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: knowing how to access the resources you need. I mean,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: my personal opinion is that Dus is currently in therapy
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and that her foe. You know, Oh she pulled Gin
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: out of bed.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I need to see you.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: That's her therapist. That's one hundred percent what I believe
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: proved me wrong. That's not in the book, so that's
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: not a spoiler. But I don't know how, as a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: single mom with very limited resources and very limited finances,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and from a place where clearly they're not talking about
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the power of mental health all the time, and a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: time where we weren't talking about the importance of mental health,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: how you pull yourself.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Out of that situation.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I am giving Gus maybe more grace than she deserves.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I think they were all dealt a shithand and we
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: do find out some more about these ladies in this episode. Hey,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: who is Amanda and May's father? They don't believe they've
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: discussed at all?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Right? Is it discussed in the book. Uh?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, but it's not. The person's very peripherally involved. I'm
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: not sure if we're going to get a similar tie in.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they're going to deal with that,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: if at all.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I was just how that thought, like, could they never
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: talk about who their dad was? Correct?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the email, Paula. It's synopsis time, y'all.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: If I could just first gripe about oh please for
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a second. Yes, Ever since Thursday when these episodes drop,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: this is the one show I could not get to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: stream on my TV for some reason. On Hallmark Plus
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: every time, every single time, it would say we're experiencing
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: technical difficulties, please dismiss. And like I cleared out the cash,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I logged in and logged out. I did all the things.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I could only get it to stream on my phone.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That's it. I had the same experience, and I did
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: all of this. I made sure the Apple was updated.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I restarted my Apple TV.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I did everything on my end that I could think
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of to make it work, and other Apple excuse me,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: other Hallmark Plus properties were streaming. I did watch all
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the other things I needed to watch, so yeah, that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: was frustrating. I also watched on my phone, which is
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: not the watching experience i'd prefer for something that I
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: need to review.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Get it together, y'all. I don't understand how I can
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: watch Love on the Danube and that's working perfectly fine,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: but Chicken Sisters isn't. I don't get it, Like what
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: is happening over there? Also, I would like to note
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that their press website was since last night, and ok,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Hallmark content creator trying to get the most accurate information
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and can't get access to it because it's not updated
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: anywhere else. It just was real frustrating. It did finally
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I was finally able to get access to it this afternoon,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: but were this timeline back up now? I do have
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a note to though, because remember last week how we
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: were like, oh, they're not up in the Hallmark press
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: release for Chicken Sisters, it has the wrong writer. Well,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: episode three last week now reflects the writer that, oh
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: said nice? Are they listening? Are they listening to our
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: apart a Hallmark? So here is a synopsis. That's where
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: we're at, right yeah. Synopsis for episode four, The Drop,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the biggest event of the year in Marynac brings the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Memis and the Franny's factions under one roof and face
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the Face, But Gus has other plans.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: In the world of news and notes. Leyla Cohen is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: credited with writing this episode. She is an Emmy nominated
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: television and feature writer. Her previous projects include The Perfect Couple,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Whoop Whoop, and Bridgerton, both for Netflix, The First Wives Club,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and The Santa Clarita Diet, also on Netflix. Paul Fox
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: directed this episode. Fox has fifty three previous directing credits,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: including Work and Moms, Schitz Creek, and Fraggle Rock Back
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to the Rock airing on Apple Plus.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Did you watch that as a child? I did? The
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: original Fragile Rock? Indeed? Me too? Yeah? Me too? Me too.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We do have two new characters to introduce, both seen in.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: The form of a flashback.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: We have Liam Boland, who plays young Frank Senior. Liam
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: has only a handful of acting credits, but his previously
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: has previously appeared on Homemark. In the twenty twenty three
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: movies Sweeter than Chocolate, Miles Martholer plays young Frank Junior.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He has three acting credits, including the twenty twenty three
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: film Round and Round, but perhaps the most exciting is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: his upcoming role as Thomas in Three Wiser Men and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a Boy. Let's take a quick break and we'll come
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: right back with more Chicken sisters. This episode, in my opinion,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: we don't do first impressions on these, but to me,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, we're back, y'all. This was the redemption
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: episode for me.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: How do you feel it was better than last weeks
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and the week before. I think that might have to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: do with because it has a different writer. Perhaps also, yes,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a little a little redemption, a little redemption.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: In my notes, I wrote alternate title, the one where
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: we learn stuff. Yeah, let's talk about that. I mean,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the revelations came fast and furious, because so what just
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: happening at once? My first note is we learned that
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Frank Senior may have sucked.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I have been saying that for weeks. Said did you
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: be a little justified? I did? I was like, dude,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: your wife is clearly dealing with like some depression, get
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: off the couch and make dinner. Do you know how
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: like red my face got in that moment. I'm so missed.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I was so he sucked, He sucked, and Nancy just
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: kind of like learned to take it. I hated all that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: And we also learned that he's a big old cheater
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and he had an affair with one Gus.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: So I did he technically have an affair or did
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: he have cold feet before getting well?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: He okay, whether maybe it was not a drawn out affair,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: but he slept with Gus.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, I had a feeling that was the history between
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Nancy and Gus because like, other than being a Mimi's
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: girl and a Franny's girl, Like, really, what is their
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: beef between the two of them?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: That's juicier than it is in the book? Btw?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Oh really, m juicier than the chicken they serve at
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Mimi's oo. I can't help it. I can't help it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Pun Well, that's interesting, I mean, that's really interesting that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you say that. What else? What else did? Okay?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Well, because of this, Nancy at the end of the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: last episode, right, she sees Amanda and Sergio and at
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the beginning of this episode, she wants to like sweep
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: it all under the rug, and she's like, let's go
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: get your hair done. And when she finally has a
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: discussion with Amanda about it, she's like, sometimes you choose
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the wrong path and you have the opportunity to choose
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the right one. And I just was so disappointed in
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Nancy in this moment, because as much as I feel
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: for her, she'd poured all of her hopes and dreams
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: into Amanda. Like, her husband sucks, her son real sweet
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: as a kid, grows up, he also sucks. She finally
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: gets this daughter, who's lovely, she knows how to get
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: with the program. She is everything Nancy ever wanted in
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the perfect little Franny's Girl daughter, and now she's been
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: disappointed by her, which I understand. But at the same time, Nancy,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: please grow a pair, stand up to these men. Your
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: husband sucked, your son sucks. Yes, your daughter in law,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: who for the most part has been nothing but lovely
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and supportive to you, made a bad choice.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: But please see it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: From her perspective, not forgive it, not like us cool
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: that you had an affair, but saying like you need
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: to just go home to your husband.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Wh Yeah, I hated that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I hated that. I hate all that we learn that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Sergio is divorced. That was news to me.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Actually, don't care, Like, I don't even know why it's relevant.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the only reason it's relevant is it
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: gives the story a place like why or Kenneth and
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Patrick all of a sudden taking Sergio out on the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: town to meet chicks like, Oh, your divorce is final?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So shiss? Did you need that on purpose? No? I
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: did not.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: No, as we will discuss in an upcoming episode later
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: this week, I have no talent for intentional puns. He
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: just as a quick throwaway, clearly still into Amanda. He's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: not looking for a hookup. Amanda sends him like the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: world's least condensing voice message ending things.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: The thing that came out of this scene that is
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: noteworthy is the dude can sing. Worth noting that Hector
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Rivera the actor, he's an accomplished singer as well.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: His first role on.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Broadway was as Emilio Estefon in the Broadway musical On
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Your Feet about the life of Gloria and Emilio Estefan,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: so he has quite a few live singing performances under
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: his belt, so I actually thought his karaoke performance was
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: quite fun.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not really buying the relationship between him and Amanda. Mmm.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Like I said last week, I think to Amanda was
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: acting with Sergio because she was pissed off at Frank Junior,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and then in this episode she does tell Nancy like, oh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Sergio makes me feel seen. They have not had that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: many interactions.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: To feel that way in my opinion, Yeah, I don't
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: understand why. I can understand why Amanda would like hop
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: on the counter in that moment with Sergio, because she's like,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: he's here, he's in front of me, he's acting like
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I matter. I can understand that, not as like the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: big great love of her life, but just as like
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I gotta get this out of my system moment. What
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I don't fully understand is why Sergio likes Amanda because
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: we've seen I'm not sure they've had an interaction where
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: she wasn't being kind of shitty to someone.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't get it unless it's unless it's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: just strictly sex. But are you you know, like.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't feel like that's what it's supposed to
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: be here.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: No, No, they're trying to make us believe that they're
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: like having they're falling in love with each other, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I don't buy it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: We do learn more about May and Sabrina's history and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: perhaps why Sabrina might be motivated to tell a particular
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: story on kitchen clash.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Like that, we finally got like a backstory on this,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: right mm hmm. I always like Sabrina, so I don't know.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting. Sabrina doesn't operate to me in
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a way of like vengefulness. Do you think she's really
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: trying to get back at May for stealing the cubicle job.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know if she was trying to get back
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: at her or if when Amanda presented her with like, hey,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: May worked at Donkey, Sabrina was like, well, this is
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: great because she kind of screwed me a long time ago,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to use this opportunity. I don't know
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: that she came into it like I'm gonna get back
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: at her, but it certainly wasn't going to shy away
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: from an opportunity to May look badly.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I think Sabrina is deeper than that. I think Sabrina
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: wants to produce a great show. But I don't think,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: like I don't think. I don't think she's going to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: roast May.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Because of that, I liked in the book, Sabrina is
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: very one dimensional, and I this is giving us a
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: much fuller picture of her as a person.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: As a mom.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: The decisions that May made had a big impact on
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Sabrina's life and her losing primary custody of her daughter
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: because she couldn't live near where her daughter was going
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: to school. And so I like that contrast from the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: book that she's a fuller character. In the book, she's
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: very just this gotcha type programming producer, and she wants
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: to produce this show that is full of like explosive revelations.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And I think you're right, Sabrina wants to produce a
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: good show, but she's not that first episode we see
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: her kind of like sneakily recording moments that people may
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: or may not realize they're on camera. The whole series
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: is kind of like that where she's trying to catch
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: people in the act. In the book, I think they're
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: trying to make her more than that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, to your credit, we do see her like
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: filming on her phone during the party, yeah, but that's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: good content, Like no, it is, like and I thought
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it was pretty funny, and she's like, oh, should have
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: brought the cameras. Yeah, I thought that was that was funny.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: What else you got?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to have I have complicated feelings about May
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: as a character. We learn a lot about their childhood.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Amanda learns kind of the truth about her childhood finances
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and I don't know where, Like, Amanda, you're an adult, now,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Never occur to you? Like whenever they're hide and seek
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: in the dark was called.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, m hm because the electricity was out and they
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: made mac and cheese the water because they couldn't afford milk,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Like at no point you have a teenage daughter, like
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: you're well past you never looked.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Back and thought like, oh, we didn't have the money.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And whether or not she knew that May was the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: one who was taking her Mimi's tips down to the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: electric company to turn the electricity bag on, she just
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: seems shocked by it, like, oh, so in my mind,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I'm like May was doing what she could to give
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Amanda the childhood that she deserved, even though May couldn't
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: have that. And we also learned that she's been sending
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: her mom one thousand dollars a month from a fan
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: incident LLC fakes element. And then she finally the scene
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: at the Drop, which one of my favorite scenes, where
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: she gives the town something else to talk about because
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: everyone loves a common enemy to get them off of
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: her case, turn your eye towards me rather than my
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: mother and sister who maybe haven't earned it.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it was funny what I concluded at the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: end of this episode, And we didn't talk about it yet,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: but I was wondering, are May and Gus more alike
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: than they are different? Because we have May who like
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: pops off at the Drop and was like, stop talking
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: about my family. Mmm, spills out his tea, right, and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: then later we see Gus tell Patrick can his husband
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to like basically stop talking about May. So to me,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: it kind of feels like these two, even though mother
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and daughter were kind of like in the trenches together
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: growing up together, you know, yeah, May have each other's back,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: whereas like maybe Amanda was like little sister who wasn't
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: fully aware of all the like ugly stuff happening.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an that's an interesting perspective I think in
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the quest to find likable characters. We may get there
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: with May sooner than we get there with some other people.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: May's definitely growing on me. We learned that Seana is
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to Marrinac as Kirk is two stars hollow. She's a
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: character with a million jobs. I loved her Lula row
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: like side hustle. Yeah, and that this smell town is
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: still all in on her leggings.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Could you?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I mean that was hot, Like you and I were
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: super into that, Like we weren't like selling them, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: we were like trying to get like the newest ones
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that were out.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I was watching Facebook Lives to buy those bike leggings man.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Our Facebook Live parties that we would go to. Yes, Yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I thought that was really funny, really funny. Actually, Shauna
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: really really enjoyed her in this episode quite a bit.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I also have we learned Frank Junior is the kind
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: of person who get easily find himself in a cult.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Rightly, How this whole thing with mister Chicken was weird
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to me? Yeah? To me, Christian, mister Chicken.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Christian is like this toxic masculinity podcasting bro, who's got
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: this app that I'm sure is some multi level marketing.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Give me your money and I will teach you how
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: to be a real man.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Situation. Yeah, yeah for sure. I mean we don't know
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: all the details.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: He's like, please come be an alpha tester for my
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: app and the and he's like, never apologize, only look forward.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: And I was like, man, this is just Frank is
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: ripe for the picking. He's like, I am not the
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: man that I thought I would be an uugh. If
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: they've ever set up a character who is the perfect
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: target for a dude like Christian. Part of me was like,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: what is happening here? And then I'm like, oh man,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I don't like it. I do not like it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was weird. We have an app it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: called hard gross gross gross.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what is gonna happen here? And this is
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: so funny because obviously you have said before Frank Junior
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: was dead in the book, So who knows what's gonna
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: happen here?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Who else?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I have no guesses? Who knows? Let's talk about Frank
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Junior getting a snip snip without telling who is dick?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: For years, do you think she's been like, let's have
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: another baby, let's have another baby and He's.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, Like, what's some motivation there? Why do you
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: go get a secret vessctomy? Cause you're too like, you
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: know your wife wants another child and for whatever reason,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: you don't, and you're too chicken to be like, I
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: don't want any more children, I'm going to get a
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: mess sectomy.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: What props someone to get a secretct to me? I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: So crazy. And also why was Amanda barfing?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: She was upset because Studio sent the thumbs up to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: her to her voice memo or whatever, so that made
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: her sick. I mean, she was that upset. I don't know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they just needed it as a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: vehicle for like people.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: To maybe she's pregnant, couldn't be, Frank Junior go to
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: westsect to me exactly exactly to find revelations. May fests
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: up to Jay maybe a voice message yes, yes she's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: not the woman he thinks she is, which I appreciate that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: And Amanda says, I do not know if I can
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: do this. But where does she go? I assume she's
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: at Mace. She's not at Sergios, no way.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I think she's at May's as well and which I'm
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: gonna like a lot better because if these two sisters
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: can get their shit together and like get on the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: same page. Yes, I think it's better viewing experience because
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want to watch them fight.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: All the time. Yeih, there's so many other people to
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: be bothered with. Let's get the two of them working
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: on the same team. Mm hmmm, are you ready to
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: talk clockworthy moments?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: My first one is May yelling at the women at
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the drop some great lines? Are your lives so dull?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: When she's asking them like are you ever going to
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: get sick of talking about my sister or my mother?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: She says I lied to my fiance, And then her
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: parting shot looking at Nancy, I wonder where I learned
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that it was shameful to be a Mimi's girl.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Wolf. Yeah loved it. Yeah, Yeah, that was good. That
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: whole scene was the best I've seen in this series,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I think. Yeah.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: And then how theyvolved into fighting with each other is amazing.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, I agree. There were some great lines.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: There was after the party after everybody leaves, right and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Shanna comes back and she's like, She's like, I think
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: it was May and Sabrina who were there? Mm hmm.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: She's like, okay, you do need to go. Was this
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Sabrina who was there? I can't remember.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: May and Sabrina are still there because they had just
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: had their like kind of reckoning where May explains to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Sabrina why she stole that job and Sabrina explains why
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: she needs it, and then they come together over the
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: photo of her ex husband's new wife.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, got it. So Sean is like, I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: need some chocolate wine, and then May's like, haven't you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: had enough? She goes girl. Would she say something like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I don't drink and sell business? What kind of business
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: woman you think I am? Or something like that, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: May's like you're an icon?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, the exact line is you'd think I run my
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: business drunk.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: It's called marketing, sweetie, look it up. I loved it.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: And then the urine icon whispered is great. Yeah. I
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: thought that was really good, really really really good. I'm
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you I actually gasped out loud when they
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: said Frank Junior head had a vasectomy. Ooh I didn't
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: see that comment at all, No, you that did.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I I loved the moment where Gus tells Patrick to
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: not talk about her daughter that way, and then the
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: follow up scene he apologizes and he's like, it's clear
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you love them, but maybe you should let them see
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: it too.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked that so it was good.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Really great lines. We're back to episode one. It's been
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: a minute since we've had some of these one liners
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: that made me lol. When Shawna says, May, why is
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: this food on a rock? When May has her marble
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: charcotery board and then she says all that fabric and
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: not a single owl or palm frond I read anybody
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: who's been victimized by the leggings MLM. And finally May
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: when Amanda walks into the Drop and she looks at
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: her and she's like, are you planning to pledge eighty pie?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: This rush?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Good's so good? It was so good.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I think the writer really did well with this one. Yeah,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: this episode.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I also loved the music montage when the ladies are
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: entering the drop as if they're entering a club.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So well done. But some of the filming choices that
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: one and then the one.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Where they pull back at all the ladies fighting with
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: each other at the end of the drop really really
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: well shot.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, now talking about it, I do think this episode
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: was a lot better, oh good than previous episodes. It was,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it was funny. There were a lot of funny parts
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to it among amidst all the fighting. Do you have
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a fathered friend of the week.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm torn, but I'm gonna go with the lighthearted
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: choice of Shauna because she made this episode so funny
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: to watch.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I picked May for the week.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a nice turnaround for me. Last week.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't like anybody in this show,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: so I'm glad that one of our leads is kind
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: of making me like her a little bit.
