  People are doing that thing where they're panicking and not
• 0:02
  sure where they're going to end up at, but asking me, Evo, where
• 0:09
  are you going? What are you going to do now
• 0:11
  that the live streams are ending?
• 0:13
  Wow, wow, wow, wow. I don't know why I sounded at
• 0:15
  all. All right, whatever.
• 0:19
  Well, first, let us bow our heads that way.
• 0:33
  It's the end of an era for some. We gather here today to say
• 0:38
  goodbye to the live stream that we've all been using this entire
• 0:44
  year of 2023 to record my podcast on.
• 0:49
  For those that don't know the initiated, early last year the
• 0:55
  app known as Tumblr decided to introduce live streaming and
• 0:59
  open the doors to everyone outside of the app to come and
• 1:03
  use it. App streams users like Kik, Kik,
• 1:08
  not Ksek. They're a better app.
• 1:11
  Twitch, POF to name a few, came to test it out and take the
• 1:17
  opportunity for the live community to grow.
• 1:22
  I took it as an opportunity to stream and introduced viewers to
• 1:25
  my podcast and build my community.
• 1:30
  So as soon as the one year birthday happened, the one year
• 1:34
  anniversary, I started live streaming.
• 1:37
  The only other place I ever went live was on TikTok.
• 1:43
  That was in 2020 and it was right after I hit the 1000
• 1:46
  follower remark because you have to have 1000 followers in order
• 1:50
  to go live there. So annoying.
• 1:53
  It was fun, but I wasn't a big fan of going live at the time.
• 1:58
  Fast forward to last year when it just felt like a second home
• 2:02
  to me. I only had two apps that I
• 2:04
  called home at the time. One was Tumblr because of the
• 2:09
  blogging and the people there, and I've been doing that since
• 2:15
  2010. And the other was TikTok Eva.
• 2:21
  Are you seriously going to take this opportunity on your podcast
• 2:26
  to talk about how you started streaming?
• 2:31
  Nobody asked that. I'm just asking that myself.
• 2:33
  You know, people are probably wondering what the fuck am I
• 2:36
  talking about? I mean, why not?
• 2:40
  I got about 50 minutes of monologue.
• 2:43
  Y'all are not new. Y'all know how to start.
• 2:47
  Y'all are not new. Y'all are Know how I start this
• 2:50
  show with 50 minutes of my rambling that has nothing to do
• 2:54
  with what the rest of the main show is about.
• 2:58
  I am a person of habit. I created something in 2022 to
• 3:02
  keep me busy because I was suffering mentally so I needed
• 3:06
  it to be organized. I need some organization in my
• 3:08
  life and what better way to start a podcast about something
• 3:13
  that I love, Something that I love talking about with friends,
• 3:16
  Something that I love watching wrestling, pro wrestling.
• 3:22
  Along the way it evolved into something more Yes, I said that
• 3:26
  already. Sound like a broken record.
• 3:29
  Keep going and going and talking about it.
• 3:32
  I started talking about my diabetes life before what
• 3:37
  happened during my hospital visit and the after.
• 3:42
  Then I started talking about movies of wrestlers, movies and
• 3:47
  wrestlers and TV shows, Movies and wrestlers and horror movies,
• 3:51
  movies and wrestlers and movies and wrestlers and other media.
• 3:55
  Basically, as we got to the first university of the show, I
• 4:00
  wanted to do something different.
• 4:02
  I wanted to do a live stream, but I was looking for other
• 4:05
  places other than Twitch and YouTube, and along came Tumblr
• 4:10
  Live. Yeah, I get it.
• 4:13
  Nobody from Tumblr asked for Tumblr Live.
• 4:16
  Main Tumblr. They're all vanilla.
• 4:18
  They hate change. The closest we got to something,
• 4:22
  anything on the app really wanted it.
• 4:25
  The closest we got to something anyone on the app really wanted
• 4:28
  was Dash Con. And yeah, look how that turned
• 4:34
  out. OK, fine.
• 4:39
  I'm sorry I had to go there. How dare I bring up Dash Con?
• 4:42
  How dare I bring up the piss filled ball pit?
• 4:46
  So disgusting. Another thing that Tumblr gave
• 4:50
  us and took away group chatting. This is during the pandemic.
• 4:55
  I was away for a great while until I came back in November in
• 4:59
  2020. Ghosted.
• 5:03
  Jeez, I'm such a cereal aren't I?
• 5:09
  So we get introduced to this great edition of Group chatting,
• 5:11
  and it's fun for a great while because now you all have your
• 5:15
  Tumblr friends on their one chat.
• 5:17
  I called it my support system because I wanted to be
• 5:19
  accountable and I want, I wanted a good support system.
• 5:25
  I wanted some of my friends, I you know, yeah, let's do it.
• 5:30
  Let's cheer each other on. We got this.
• 5:34
  We need friends. We need friendship.
• 5:39
  We used a heck out of that group support chat up until one day
• 5:43
  they decided to get rid of it in September of 2021.
• 5:48
  Jeez, I feel like I did my homework on this, didn't I?
• 5:51
  You see where I'm going with this?
• 5:55
  Or do you all need more context? Tumblr gives it to us.
• 6:02
  We we'll we enjoy it for a while and then they take it away.
• 6:07
  Tumblr gives us something else we enjoy for a while, and then
• 6:10
  they take it away. We get pissed off.
• 6:11
  We wanted it. Some of them didn't want it.
• 6:13
  Oh, we, you know, Tumblr takes it away eventually.
• 6:18
  I used, I used Tumblr as a blog. Anything that has ever happened
• 6:25
  to me, physically or mentally, I have journaled it on that blog.
• 6:28
  I worked out, I blogged about it.
• 6:32
  I did something in my backyard. I blogged about it.
• 6:37
  I went out. I blogged about it.
• 6:40
  And yet, there are a lot of supporters out there.
• 6:43
  The fitness community is a strong support system.
• 6:47
  You go for a walk and you post about it, you will have at least
• 6:51
  10 notes from that. They telling you they're proud
• 6:53
  of you for moving around. That's the fipper community.
• 6:58
  That's my community. That's been my community since I
• 7:00
  joined the app in 2010. Basically anything that has ever
• 7:05
  happened to me. My hip arthritis, workout
• 7:07
  challenges, Pandemic felt, the workout wagon only to get back
• 7:11
  on, fell off again. The diabetes, my fight with it,
• 7:15
  me kicking his ass. They all knew.
• 7:18
  Because I blogged about it. I told everyone.
• 7:21
  Everyone that followed me knew the story because I posted about
• 7:25
  it and it turned. I got a lot of people being
• 7:27
  supportive, cheering me on, motivating me, gassing me up
• 7:31
  when I post selfies. Hey, thank you for gassing me up
• 7:34
  and I post, you know, half naked selfies.
• 7:37
  Appreciate that, by the way. No, I'm kidding.
• 7:41
  There's no such thing as half naked selfies.
• 7:45
  So I used that because I needed an outlet to blog about it.
• 7:49
  Even when I was talking about TV shows and music that I love.
• 7:55
  Or movies that were out. The wrestling, even the
• 7:59
  wrestling. We all love the wrestling, of
• 8:01
  course, but when the app decided to bring in live, I was
• 8:06
  interested. I decided to stick around.
• 8:08
  I get why half a million Tumblr users didn't want it, because
• 8:11
  all of a sudden it became a sing of a sudden.
• 8:13
  You see a lot of people on the live version that never had a
• 8:15
  blog. According to one user earlier in
• 8:21
  the year. Quote I The only problem I had
• 8:27
  was that it should have been announced for us.
• 8:29
  For us, only for us Tumblr community users and we would
• 8:35
  have used it with no problem. Instead they just update the app
• 8:40
  and you see a bunch of people from other apps better testing
• 8:44
  it and getting paid to use something that we wanted nothing
• 8:46
  to do with End Quote. So there it is.
• 8:56
  It's not that people had a problem with it that they should
• 8:58
  have been the 1st to know instead of Kik, Kik the worst
• 9:04
  one. Not Kik the good one or POF or
• 9:10
  other users from other apps to come and make an account only to
• 9:13
  use this app it's giving. You should have told us first
• 9:19
  that we would have given you the thumbs up or down what they
• 9:25
  hate. Oh my God, they hated it so
• 9:28
  much. They even called the streamers
• 9:31
  bots. Can you believe that?
• 9:33
  They called you all bots? Not me.
• 9:39
  I didn't get around to any of the trending pages, so not me.
• 9:44
  They didn't see my face and say bot.
• 9:48
  Oh wait, which picture did I have the Snapchat filter?
• 9:52
  The e-mail one? Yeah, of course.
• 9:54
  They called me a bot. That's a fake person.
• 9:56
  That's a bot. No, bitch, I'm right here.
• 9:59
  I've been here since 2010. Don't kick my cone.
• 10:08
  They called everyone boss, basically because that's what
• 10:12
  they call anything that they don't know about.
• 10:14
  So who actually used the live portion of the app?
• 10:18
  Well, it attracted all the sex workers, the OF girls, the sugar
• 10:22
  daddies, other people that left the app in 2014 after Yahoo
• 10:25
  bought it and banned nudity. And that's all I heard
• 10:26
  throughout the year was, oh, I didn't know Tumblr was still a
• 10:30
  thing. I thought it died in 2014 with
• 10:32
  him ban nudity and now it has lives.
• 10:33
  Oh my gosh. And that's who Tumblr was not
• 10:40
  for. If you were only here for the
• 10:43
  ludes loser. Y'all know who you are.
• 10:48
  Yes, I get the hilarity that this part should have been used
• 10:52
  on a separate episode, but that's what make this podcast
• 10:56
  unique. I talk for 15 minutes about
• 10:59
  something off the wall and then I introduce the show.
• 11:05
  Long story longer if you don't know by now.
• 11:11
  No, I don't like being told what to do.
• 11:13
  And if somebody is already doing it, I do it differently.
• 11:16
  I don't listen. Listen, I don't listen.
• 11:21
  OK, Linda. I don't listen.
• 11:23
  I I certainly didn't listen to half a billion Tumblr users who
• 11:26
  said no, they're not going to join.
• 11:28
  Let's all band together for an entire year and band them and at
• 11:35
  the end of the entire year, say I told you so Ha ha ha.
• 11:42
  I listened to my first instinct of hey, I know how to stream.
• 11:46
  I have 9 K followers on TikTok and I used to do that.
• 11:49
  So here's what I did. I had already left TikTok.
• 11:53
  I thought it was toxic at the time.
• 11:56
  They know that. Let's move along.
• 11:58
  I needed to get away from it, so I deleted the app from my
• 12:02
  mobile. I went back to Tumblr to blog
• 12:05
  while I was doing my blogging and my podcast and tried to say,
• 12:10
  liberate the big one year anniversary.
• 12:12
  I saw it as let me post some of my episodes I've already done
• 12:16
  and do blog portions of them because I knew not many people
• 12:20
  were going to listen to it or even follow it anyway.
• 12:22
  So let me do this. I got a few notes.
• 12:25
  I got a few notes, but it wasn't enough.
• 12:30
  But then Tumblr Live came around and maybe it did for me
• 12:33
  something totally different than what it did for everyone else.
• 12:35
  The main app or the live app. Maybe it did something for you
• 12:39
  if you're listening and you were part of the live app.
• 12:43
  Because for me, I I stayed more on the app than I did on any
• 12:49
  other social. I was journaling.
• 12:54
  Yeah, I was journaling, I was networking and I was going live.
• 12:59
  I was starting to promote the podcast to everyone that would
• 13:02
  listen. I was meeting you with awesome,
• 13:05
  amazing people on the other side of things, a new workout
• 13:08
  challenge was coming up on Tumblr.
• 13:11
  Main Tumblr So what better way to promote the workout challenge
• 13:14
  than to talk about on the podcast and talk about it on
• 13:16
  here and promote main Tumblr by being one of the Tumblr people
• 13:20
  to get on the live app as well. You see where I'm getting at?
• 13:26
  Go to the main app and sign up for workout challenges.
• 13:31
  Nobody wanted to do that main Tumblr app, go to the live
• 13:38
  stream for me to talk about it. When I to listen to me talk
• 13:41
  about it. Nobody wanted to do that.
• 13:43
  It was more like, you go that way.
• 13:46
  I go this way. All right.
• 13:49
  Of course, there are a few others that have been on Tumblr
• 13:51
  for a while as well as they thought it was a great
• 13:53
  opportunity to meet new people. I still talk to those people.
• 13:56
  In fact, I shout some of these people out at the end of every
• 14:00
  episode since What a whole year? A whole year of networking.
• 14:06
  We network. We've been networking all year.
• 14:11
  Here's who I've met along the way.
• 14:13
  I've met gamers, podcasters, Twitch users using OBS, artists,
• 14:18
  singers, speakers, chefs, other F girls, and people that have
• 14:23
  become friends. Kingsters.
• 14:26
  I've met Kingsters. I've met people from other
• 14:31
  countries. My goodness, I met a whole
• 14:34
  community on that app on Tumblr Live.
• 14:39
  So nobody knows why I wanted the live community to continue.
• 14:44
  But I guess since it's now going away, because Tumblr decided
• 14:47
  once again to take something good away from people, and also
• 14:50
  because they didn't get the money back-to-back it up, that's
• 14:53
  on them. That's their fault.
• 14:55
  They throw money at something, they try to make a stick.
• 14:59
  And then, no, can't. Oh my God, we're nervous.
• 15:04
  OK, let's pull out aboard aboard mission.
• 15:08
  To this day, I still think it was a social experiment that
• 15:12
  other streamers put a lot of money to invest to, and it
• 15:14
  failed miserably within the first six months.
• 15:22
  But here's why I wanted to continue as much as a podcast is
• 15:26
  what got me organized and talking.
• 15:30
  So was this. The community was small to begin
• 15:34
  with, about 35 to 40 streamers, and everyone knew everyone.
• 15:41
  It gave me something to look forward to, you know.
• 15:49
  Oh, here's so and so here. Let's just say let's just
• 15:54
  mention names. Here's Brenda Lemoore doing
• 15:56
  Fancy Friday. Oh, let me go to Friday.
• 15:58
  Let me go on Friday night. Let me go to her stream.
• 16:01
  Here's oh fuck, Hydrangea Water doing some stuff on her Sims on
• 16:12
  the computer. Let me go to her stream.
• 16:14
  Here's Aquarius Energy doing some stuff in the morning.
• 16:18
  Let me wake up at a certain hour, 9:00.
• 16:22
  Go to her stream, first stream of the morning and check out her
• 16:26
  games that she's playing, her mind, her mental puzzles that
• 16:31
  she's doing. Hey, here's Evolution of a Geek
• 16:34
  playing EDM on Friday nights. That's me by the way, cuz I had
• 16:41
  a playlist Friday nights, Thursday cover Thursdays and the
• 16:46
  podcast on Wednesdays or Tuesdays whenever it would fall,
• 16:49
  Something like that. You can tell when the podcast
• 16:56
  change last year, and it's because of that.
• 16:58
  I had a community. I made friends.
• 17:02
  I got supporters. I made merch around those
• 17:04
  supporters. Fatherless Behavior Squad is,
• 17:06
  because of them. Fatherless Behavior Squad
• 17:08
  doesn't happen. If it wasn't for Tumblr Live, do
• 17:13
  you see where I'm going with this?
• 17:19
  If it wasn't for Tumblr Live, my podcast wouldn't be would it
• 17:25
  Would still be monotone. Would still be the same shit as
• 17:28
  it was the first high. What, 50 episodes?
• 17:34
  Monotone me talking like this the entire time instead of
• 17:38
  getting to know people, Fatherless behavior OG and now
• 17:46
  now is going away for good. It was announced in November
• 17:48
  that the lives were ending and that it will be no more Tumblr.
• 17:54
  Tumblr laid off a bunch of staff so that the remaining staff
• 17:59
  could work and focus on something else that is Tumblr
• 18:01
  related. More focused on the Tumblr app
• 18:05
  than the Plan B That was this for those that lost their jobs,
• 18:14
  my condolences. Yeah, I get none of them are
• 18:18
  going to listen to this episode, but it sucks to lose a job.
• 18:22
  But on the upside, I want to say this that nobody else on stream,
• 18:27
  nobody else is saying this on their streams.
• 18:29
  Everyone else is more worried about the final days of the
• 18:31
  streams and the lives. But I wanna take this
• 18:36
  opportunity to say thank you to those that created this and
• 18:40
  worked on it for maybe that half a year, whole year.
• 18:43
  I don't know. You worked on it.
• 18:48
  If you did, kudos to you. Because not only did you create
• 18:51
  something good, you create a community for people to come
• 18:54
  together and get to know one another.
• 18:58
  OK, sure. During the year it had its ups
• 19:00
  and downs. With drama, we can we can, we
• 19:05
  can admit that we they. Not me, not me.
• 19:08
  They fucked up. They decided, hey, I don't like
• 19:12
  you. Well, I don't like you either.
• 19:15
  Well, let's just stop talking to each other.
• 19:17
  Oh gangs here and gangs there. Oh my God, that happens
• 19:22
  somewhere else. And it's something that is
• 19:24
  discussed when looking back at the year that we all share
• 19:28
  together. Since the announcement in
• 19:32
  November that the live would end, it has become a whole mix
• 19:35
  up of what will happen to it, from the Meet Me group merging
• 19:39
  with Tumblr Live to it's not coming back to it.
• 19:42
  Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Some streamers have moved on,
• 19:45
  though. There's no, there's no coming
• 19:47
  back at all. There's like, we don't want none
• 19:49
  of this anymore. There are many other apps with
• 19:51
  live streams these days, and people are scattering all over
• 19:54
  the place. OK, let me rephrase that.
• 19:57
  People parked friends are scattering all over the place
• 20:02
  from friends building a discord of their own with their name on
• 20:07
  it. I've just been invited to at
• 20:09
  least five discords like. Why?
• 20:15
  Why do I need to be in five other discords?
• 20:22
  From everybody building their own discord with your favorite
• 20:25
  people, to going to other streams like Clapper Meet Me and
• 20:29
  TikTok to name a few, and sharing their stories with me.
• 20:35
  It's crazy to think that in just a few short days, this whole
• 20:39
  thing will be over. January 23rd is the last day I
• 20:48
  will stream from there, as it will be going away on the 24th.
• 20:52
  And the Tumblr community. The main Tumblr community cannot
• 20:57
  be more happy, of course. Whatever, I am happy as well.
• 21:05
  I'm happy I got the chance to meet some amazing people, from
• 21:08
  content creators to networking with podcasters.
• 21:14
  You all know who they are. I always shout them out at the
• 21:16
  end of the episode. And I had lots of fun playing
• 21:19
  games, sharing each other's Spotify playlists, doing
• 21:23
  podcasts from there, sharing the tea with Teyana Taylor, Tea 2
• 21:30
  Tea Queen. I said I wasn't going to miss
• 21:36
  the drama that came with it, but here is what I'm going to miss.
• 21:43
  I'm going to miss the community, the sense of belonging, the
• 21:49
  camaraderie, the friendships were made and disassembled
• 21:55
  within months because people had trust issues.
• 21:59
  It was there. And if you're listening and
• 22:01
  you're from there and you will get this, I'm also going to miss
• 22:03
  Peggy. The trolling from Peggy.
• 22:08
  Who isn't going to miss Peggy? I'm going to miss the bonding we
• 22:14
  all made through music. Fancy Friday, EDM, Friday
• 22:17
  karaoke night, Family Feud game night, Puzzles in the morning,
• 22:21
  Coffee with a bunch of strangers.
• 22:25
  We don't talk about Bruno. We don't talk about Peggy,
• 22:28
  that's for sure. Meeting new streamers and those
• 22:31
  awesome people who would show up to their stream to introduce
• 22:35
  themselves. The verse that's not ever
• 22:37
  working right or worked right and was those awkward 30
• 22:39
  seconds. What do you do?
• 22:41
  What do you do? Do you want to rematch.
• 22:42
  Do you not want to rematch And you just like stare at each
• 22:45
  other endlessly for 30 spare seconds.
• 22:48
  Well, it was great. He he Oh yeah some grown falling
• 22:53
  in love with every guy. Sorry I had to say yes.
• 22:59
  I knew all the guys the contest who isn't going to miss those
• 23:04
  contests. The contest grinding, finding
• 23:07
  out I played last place on the contest because some guy, some
• 23:11
  ridiculous guy named Billy, got disqualified for having three
• 23:15
  accounts in the rankings and gifting himself.
• 23:20
  What's he going to do? Finding out I placed 14th place
• 23:23
  in the final contest this past week and finally being
• 23:26
  acknowledged getting 4K and Dimes back at the equal and 95 K
• 23:30
  and diamonds and finally cashing out to get $200.00 and only for
• 23:33
  me to finally be able to use this audio.
• 23:39
  But I need to look after myself and invest in my future, so I'm
• 23:44
  going to go ahead and take the money around the teacher.
• 23:47
  At the end of the day, the reason I stayed here is because
• 23:50
  I wasn't going to other platforms.
• 23:51
  I stayed on Tumblr because I had everything I needed blogging,
• 23:55
  friends and live streams. I've joined other live stream
• 24:01
  platforms since November as Recon to tell others that this
• 24:06
  is the place we should go and have fun.
• 24:09
  There was some app called Beagle, but I hate it.
• 24:14
  There was one other, but I had a problem with it.
• 24:17
  I knew it was toxic, but I rejoined anyway and wanted to
• 24:21
  test it out. I've since been back to stream
• 24:23
  on there and so far I enjoyed it.
• 24:26
  Because of course comes those who asked why I was gone for two
• 24:29
  years. Yes, I was asked on the app that
• 24:34
  I had banned it for a year and a half TikTok by the way.
• 24:39
  Why? I was gone for two years, not a
• 24:41
  year and a half two. Their maths weren't matting to
• 24:47
  my which my response was I needed to before I left.
• 24:54
  I didn't know how to grow. I didn't know how to act while I
• 24:57
  was live streaming. I would be nervous and mumble
• 25:00
  words while I was over there. I got to experience stuff, I got
• 25:05
  live experience, I got confidence and I made a name
• 25:09
  brand for myself. Although you all knew me on
• 25:12
  TikTok as a different name, $1,000,000 Geek, I changed that
• 25:18
  and it's now Evolution of a Geek.
• 25:20
  I am now called EVO. You may hate to change and you
• 25:22
  may want to call me something else, but at the end of the day
• 25:26
  you will all respect my wishes and my boundaries.
• 25:31
  Call me Evo, please. Nothing else.
• 25:34
  Just Evo. And then over the weekend I was
• 25:38
  asked, now that the lives are ending, where are you going?
• 25:42
  Where are you moving to? That's all that is being asked
• 25:47
  by nearly everyone. Where are you going to go?
• 25:52
  Well, the only thing for sure about me is that nothing is ever
• 25:56
  for sure. But if you want to find out
• 26:01
  where I will make the podcast my new home, I'm going to tell you.
• 26:09
  But you're going to have to listen to this show till the end
• 26:14
  to find that out. Welcome back, my father's
• 26:58
  behavior squad. You are listening to another
• 27:00
  awesome episode, as you all know.
• 27:03
  I love to say that I ignore my main priorities and put myself
• 27:07
  in a bubble only to record from under the apron.
• 27:11
  This is it. This is the last episode that
• 27:15
  will ever be recorded from the live Tumblr live stream from
• 27:19
  live and all that. And if you made it this far only
• 27:22
  to realize that the 1st 25 minutes of this episode was to
• 27:25
  get you to listen to the show and not come up with the final
• 27:28
  answer until you listen to the rest of the show.
• 27:30
  Well Congrats, thank you for coming in and supporting.
• 27:33
  It's the final episode of Tumblr so we might be doing a little
• 27:37
  separation and toast to commemorate this iconic moment.
• 27:42
  I'm EVO and we are doing another recapping review of the Globe TV
• 27:46
  show on Netflix. A show about the gorgeous ladies
• 27:50
  of wrestling and this is the introduction of season 2 episode
• 27:56
  one. It's titled Viking Funeral.
• 27:59
  All episodes enter on Netflix on June 29th, 2018.
• 28:04
  This of Gnosis is nerves run high as the ladies return to
• 28:07
  work and meet a new cast member. To booth morale.
• 28:10
  Ruth takes the gang on a raucous, raucous, raucous
• 28:14
  ruckus. It's a ruckus outing to the
• 28:18
  mall. What ruckus?
• 28:20
  You know, a ruckus raucous. The writers of the are the
• 28:26
  creators of the show Liz Flahith and Kylie Minch, directed by
• 28:30
  Lynn Shelton, who also directed the liberal chokehold.
• 28:32
  Episode 9 from season one called Open on Sheila.
• 28:37
  The She Wolf holds an instant camera and snaps a photo of
• 28:43
  Ruth. She comments that she blinked
• 28:46
  and Ruth runs over. It's a Polaroid.
• 28:49
  Why do they call it instant? The fuck what?
• 28:53
  She comments that she blinked and Ruth runs over saying that
• 28:56
  she thought it was good. She looks at the photo saying
• 28:59
  it's like the first day of school.
• 29:02
  As several of the other women at GLOW arrive, Sheila asked them
• 29:04
  to move out of the way so she can take another picture.
• 29:06
  Instead, they all gather around Ruth, calling it a photo shoot.
• 29:12
  Ruth said that she's taking her first day of work photo and Mel
• 29:16
  Ruth's comments that of course she is.
• 29:18
  Sheila says that she can't fit anyone everyone, and Jenny tells
• 29:22
  her that they'll smush. Ruth suggests that some of them
• 29:25
  get down in front of Orniel. They get over to a table and
• 29:30
  post at various level, but Sheila having had enough leaves.
• 29:34
  Tammy runs up and joins saying that they can't take a picture
• 29:38
  without their queen. They hear a shout from Sheila,
• 29:42
  who's on the roof. She says that she can now see
• 29:44
  everyone. Roof tells her to get down, that
• 29:48
  it's just a picture. She replied to this history and
• 29:50
  tells her to keep her eyes open. They countdown to three, only
• 29:55
  for Sheila to find out that the camera is out of film.
• 30:04
  The Warrior by Patti Smith, featuring Scandal plays showing
• 30:08
  the logo and the casting. Debbie asked a woman at a dry
• 30:12
  cleaners how long it's going to take to get her clothes, saying
• 30:17
  that she needs to drop Randy off at daycare.
• 30:20
  She explains that it's her costume for work, asking her to
• 30:23
  imagine that she's Clark Kent and she brought her Cape in to
• 30:26
  be dry clean and then she lost it.
• 30:28
  So now whenever she wants to turn into Superman, she's flying
• 30:30
  around without her Cape. Annoyingly, the woman asks if
• 30:34
  there's anyone else on her account.
• 30:36
  She gives Mark's name, She hands over both her outfit and suit
• 30:40
  for marks, and Debbie tells her that she likes to establish
• 30:43
  separate accounts so it never happens again.
• 30:46
  She says also, that she's not paying for his suit.
• 30:50
  The woman asks if she's keeping his name, and Debbie says that
• 30:54
  she probably is. Who knows?
• 30:58
  In his Cadillac, Sam snorts some cocaine.
• 31:01
  Sure, why not? He sighs.
• 31:02
  It's the 80s, It's the 80s, He sighs, watching the girls
• 31:05
  entering the gym. Ruth waves her at him, waves her
• 31:10
  hands at him, and he waves back. He sighs as she gets in the car.
• 31:13
  He asks why he's parked over there, and he tells her he's
• 31:16
  giving himself a minute before he asked to spend the next 20
• 31:19
  fucking weeks surrounded by people asking him what to do.
• 31:23
  She says that he looks clean and pretty and she likes his fancy
• 31:26
  folder. He corrects her, telling her
• 31:28
  it's a portfolio. She asked him what's happening,
• 31:32
  saying that she has a bunch of his thoughts on the show's
• 31:34
  pilot, like better main titles and puncher graphics.
• 31:39
  He stops her, telling her to take it easy.
• 31:41
  She asked if he isn't excited. He asked her not to pep talk
• 31:46
  him, saying that the last he knew what he was going to do for
• 31:49
  20th consecutive weeks he was in college, which he hated.
• 31:52
  He woke up this morning, ironed a shirt, and he felt like
• 31:54
  someone else. Ruth tells him it's a big job
• 31:57
  and they're in it together. She says it'll be like Hitchcock
• 31:59
  and Alma, like husband and wife, indispensable to each other, and
• 32:04
  she'll help them to get the job done.
• 32:07
  He asked what she's talking about.
• 32:08
  She says Alma Hitchcock, Alma Hitchcock's wife, the woman
• 32:12
  behind who is as important as the man and really helps the man
• 32:16
  be great while also getting the job done.
• 32:19
  He tells her she's helped him want to get the fuck out of the
• 32:21
  car. She gives him the gift of
• 32:24
  Russian vodka, wishing him a happy 1st day.
• 32:27
  She puts on her zoya voice, saying it's not a sentimental
• 32:31
  present but a classic star gift. There it is.
• 32:35
  I did it. It's not going to come back.
• 32:37
  He sips some and she stares at him, but tells him that it's
• 32:41
  9:00 AM. He says he knows.
• 32:43
  Don't give a fuck. The girls start getting dressed,
• 32:47
  Britannica says she feels smart already.
• 32:50
  Arty says that she doesn't want to put her costume on, that it
• 32:52
  still smells like beer and racism.
• 32:56
  Still having trouble from other cans that were thrown at her in
• 32:58
  the first season? Jenny sniffs.
• 33:00
  Realizing that nobody washed the costumes, she asked if she was
• 33:05
  supposed to wash them. Debbie enters with her costume,
• 33:08
  fresh from the dry cleaners, of course apologizing for being
• 33:11
  late. Ruth gives her another of her
• 33:14
  tiny vodka bottles. She asked if she had a good
• 33:17
  break, and Debbie agrees that was productive.
• 33:19
  Ruth tells her that Sam wants everyone did full makeup and
• 33:21
  Donna Stacy are sitting up. Tammy asks Ruth who is that who
• 33:26
  it is that Welfare Queen is fighting first.
• 33:29
  She tells her to wait for Sam. A New Girl appears, asking where
• 33:34
  the costumes are. Jenny says she's going to have
• 33:36
  to wait for the end of the day to clean them.
• 33:38
  A girl tells her that she's not cleaning them.
• 33:41
  Ruth asks who she is. She tells her she's Junk Chain.
• 33:45
  Everyone stares. Junk Chain has been recasted.
• 33:49
  She's now played by the character Yolanda Rivas, real
• 33:53
  name Shakira Barrera. She is a Nicaraguan American
• 33:56
  actress and dance from Englewood, NJ.
• 33:58
  She also appears on 9 episodes of the show Sprung and is known
• 34:03
  for her voice work as Camila Espara Montero on the game Far
• 34:07
  Cry 6. For those that saw or remember
• 34:11
  to see the finale, Cherry Bang. The original chunk chain was
• 34:14
  told by Glenn Click, Nick, Click Nick that she got a role, a lead
• 34:19
  role on a pilot show called Chambers and Gold and therefore
• 34:21
  can't do 2 shows at once. I'm guessing off camera here she
• 34:25
  had to inform both 7 bass that she can no longer wrestle for
• 34:28
  them. Usually the character gets
• 34:30
  replaced, but the only time I've seen the wrestling character get
• 34:34
  recasted was on WWE in 1993. Undertaker went away for a few
• 34:40
  months to heal himself due to injuries, so Mark Callaway was
• 34:43
  recasted by a fake Undertaker. Enter Brian Lee, who was good
• 34:49
  friends with Callaway. When the real Undertaker came
• 34:51
  back, they worked at Angle where Undertaker versus anger,
• 34:55
  Undertaker storyline. They worked as an Undertaker
• 34:59
  versus Undertaker. Storyline around it In 1996,
• 35:04
  both Kevin Nash and Scott Hall left their characters, Diesel
• 35:07
  and Razor Ramon respectively, as they headed to another company
• 35:10
  for more money. Dudley at that time owned both
• 35:14
  names and rights to those gimmicks, so they announced that
• 35:16
  Diesel and Razor were coming back.
• 35:19
  Instead of getting the real deal, we get a great value
• 35:21
  version of the duo Glenn Jacobs. Yes, the guy that later played
• 35:26
  Kane and the now mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, played the
• 35:30
  fake Diesel, and Rick Borgia played fake race of a moan.
• 35:34
  It was awful. And finally, all the guys are
• 35:37
  gonna love this. A recast in the women's
• 35:40
  wrestling. I'm sure you'll never heard of
• 35:42
  this promotion, and I'm sure you're going to want to hear
• 35:46
  about this promotion once I tell you, because I did and I bought
• 35:51
  videotapes of them anyway. Women's Wrestling Women's
• 35:57
  Extreme Wrestling is the name of the company 2007 they had the
• 36:02
  Women's Extreme Wrestling World Favorite Champion by the name of
• 36:06
  GI Ho. Yes, it's true.
• 36:11
  Real name is unknown. She lost the belt, but when she
• 36:15
  came back she was recasted by a sexier and much bustier girl
• 36:21
  renamed the brand new GI Ho. Back to the show, Sam and Bash
• 36:32
  addressed the group. Sam comments that it feels a
• 36:35
  little different around the gym and they have a few more men
• 36:38
  there now. The girls mainly Melrose,
• 36:42
  Whistle and Cat. Whistle Cat Cat.
• 36:45
  I don't know what that's called. Whistle at the men.
• 36:48
  One of the camera guys selects this for her and blows her a
• 36:50
  kiss. Cat calls, cat calls, Cat calls,
• 36:54
  Cat calls at the men, whatever. Sam says that this day is a prep
• 37:00
  day, which is about him. Bash, who's confused, was
• 37:05
  smiling, realizes that he looks what he's wearing.
• 37:08
  Turtleneck, sweater. Sweater.
• 37:12
  A good looking shirt with a sweater over his shirt.
• 37:16
  He looks like a preppy. Sam says he'll be checking the
• 37:22
  bash, who's confused, was smiling, realized what he was
• 37:24
  wearing. Sam says he'll be checking the
• 37:25
  shot list. Justin likes making sure that he
• 37:28
  doesn't have their costumes on camera, Bash says.
• 37:33
  Prep, as in prepare. Oh.
• 37:37
  He thought he meant he could wear preppy clothes, and then he
• 37:41
  decides to walk away and call Florian for help.
• 37:46
  Ruth asked if he'll introduce him to the new cast member.
• 37:50
  Sam introduces her as Yolanda. She said that her friends call
• 37:53
  her Yo-yo, but Yolanda's OK. Reggie asked her if she's
• 37:57
  replacing anyone or only Cherry. Sam tells them not to worry
• 38:01
  about it, that Cherry has a great job and isn't thinking
• 38:04
  about her. They ask if he knows she gave
• 38:06
  away her character to a white girl, and Yolanda says she is a
• 38:08
  she's a Mexican. Ari suggests that she could play
• 38:13
  with Ruth, and Sam replies that he decides who plays and who and
• 38:16
  when. He likes the character Junk
• 38:18
  Chain and wants her to be played by a hot girl.
• 38:21
  Ruth asked if he wants to walk Yolanda through the show's
• 38:24
  format since she's new, but he tells us it's not rocket
• 38:27
  science. Same thing we do every week.
• 38:29
  A bunch of promos where they talk shit about each other.
• 38:31
  Then a wrestling match and a wrestling match, and another
• 38:35
  wrestling match. And then a wrestling match.
• 38:36
  And then the title match and the closer were Liberty Bell bowels
• 38:40
  to take the crown back from welfare Queen Ruth Asked about
• 38:45
  the other storylines. He says that they can read the
• 38:47
  answers to all their questions in their new contracts.
• 38:51
  Nash pulls them out. Shout and get your contracts
• 38:53
  here. Like a carnival Barker.
• 38:55
  Get your contracts here. They read over the contracts,
• 38:59
  which are so complicated that they comment.
• 39:01
  They may as well just write We own you.
• 39:03
  Carmen comments that her brother's first wrestling
• 39:05
  contact was written on napkins so hers will step up.
• 39:08
  She grabs his pen and signs. Debbie doesn't sign it right
• 39:11
  away as she's an actress and sneaks into contract in the bag.
• 39:16
  She's up to something. Yolanda does some poses for Sam.
• 39:20
  He tells her she's done. He asked the cameraman if he's
• 39:23
  ever worked around that many women.
• 39:25
  He says that he actually has that he used to shoot porn for
• 39:28
  Hal Freeman. Sam says that he loves Hal
• 39:30
  Freeman, and he, the cameraman, comments that Freeman is a
• 39:33
  creep. He tells Sam, though, that if he
• 39:36
  needs an artfully framed crotch shot, he's his guy.
• 39:41
  Cameraman's name is played by Victor Kinas, who was a producer
• 39:44
  of the show. He was also a producer of the
• 39:47
  Big Mouth TV series Shout out to the second season of Glow for
• 39:50
  introducing My Brown People this time around.
• 39:54
  It is, after all, in California, right Simone, look at the way,
• 40:00
  OK, Ruth approaches, telling Sam that she doesn't mean to be
• 40:03
  alarmist, but there's confusion about charity.
• 40:07
  There's also concern about some of the language and contracts.
• 40:10
  Sam tells her to tell the girls that if they don't have other
• 40:13
  job offers, sign them. She says that's fine, but since
• 40:18
  he didn't answer any questions during the meeting, he might set
• 40:20
  aside some time today to address the collective anxieties so
• 40:25
  people feel sting and heard. He tells her he doesn't want
• 40:28
  them to feel sting and heard so he can transform the gym into a
• 40:31
  luxury hotel. So if she wants to be Alma, she
• 40:34
  needs to make everyone feel so fucking special so he doesn't
• 40:36
  have to. She gives a thumbs up and he
• 40:39
  calls for an ex girl to pose for him.
• 40:44

• 42:59
  The girls have doughnuts. Outside of chatter, Melrose
• 43:02
  complaints that she got in her hair and makeup so that Sam
• 43:04
  could take a picture and pose for 25 seconds.
• 43:07
  Yolanda comes out and one stares at her.
• 43:09
  She asked them what they say, 'cause she needs different
• 43:11
  underwear or just a different ass.
• 43:14
  Jenny says that the costume she's wearing was perfect on
• 43:17
  Cherry because she made it for her measurements.
• 43:19
  Melrose asked her how Sam found her, if it was an audition or a
• 43:24
  personal connection. She says that the director came
• 43:28
  to his, came to her club, she gave him a lap dance, and he
• 43:33
  offered her a job. Debbie comments.
• 43:36
  That's the first open slot, and he hires a stripper.
• 43:40
  Rhonda asked if she can rap, and she turns the question back on
• 43:42
  her. Rhonda replies that Britannica's
• 43:44
  a genius and junk Shane's a rapper.
• 43:46
  Yolanda snarks that she thought she was a sexy sanitation
• 43:49
  worker. Ruth breaks it up, telling
• 43:52
  everyone that Yolanda's not the enemy.
• 43:53
  It does feel kind of like she's taking something that doesn't
• 43:57
  belong to her, but it isn't her fault.
• 44:01
  She says that she has an idea that will make everyone feel
• 44:03
  better and things. Love Is All around the theme
• 44:06
  song of the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
• 44:08
  The girls giggle and Artie asked if they're going to meet Mary
• 44:11
  Tyler Moore. Ruth says that they aren't,
• 44:14
  they't going to shoot her main title sequence.
• 44:16
  Jenny squeal, saying that she loves main titles.
• 44:19
  Stacy asked. How does the cheers go again?
• 44:22
  Vicki replies that Stacy asked How does the Cheers theme song
• 44:28
  go again, Vicki replies that she's never seen Cheers.
• 44:31
  Sheila Quip that is great, is about an invisible woman named
• 44:35
  Vera. What?
• 44:39
  They all agree that it has to be memorable.
• 44:41
  Except for Debbie, who says that Sam isn't making a title
• 44:44
  sequence. Ruth replies that he handed her
• 44:47
  the rain for the rest of the day while he's working on the set.
• 44:50
  Therefore, they should make something that reminds them that
• 44:53
  they are the gorgeous ladies of wrestling.
• 44:56
  She calls the camera guy who is putting his stuff in the car and
• 44:59
  tells him to not leave. Devi says she has it all figured
• 45:03
  out and wishes her good luck, saying that she has to go to the
• 45:05
  mall to buy more shimmer tights. Ruth replies that she loves them
• 45:09
  all, so the girls hit them all. They pose riding down an
• 45:15
  escalator, and Ruth calls for them to stay in character as the
• 45:18
  cameraman gets the shot. Ruth says that it was great and
• 45:22
  says that for the next shot she wants to get welfare queen
• 45:25
  coming down the escalator and dripping with shopping bags.
• 45:28
  Liberty Bell goes up the escalator and when they pass
• 45:31
  each other, they start threatening each other, one of
• 45:33
  them taking a shot swipe. She sees Tammy starting to go up
• 45:38
  the escalator and ask where she's going.
• 45:40
  She says that there's a sale of Robinson's and she'll be back.
• 45:44
  The cameraman asked if she wants him to ride on the escalator
• 45:46
  with them and get them going both ways.
• 45:48
  She agrees to it. He asked her if Sam is really OK
• 45:51
  with this, giving his name as Russell.
• 45:54
  She tells him that she knows it's his first day and that she
• 45:58
  and Sam have an understanding. Back at the gym, Sam smokes in
• 46:02
  overseas construction. Florian helps out Bash by
• 46:05
  bringing him a new yellow jacket.
• 46:08
  Bash says it's misleading or prep day, right?
• 46:11
  And Florian says he would have thought the same thing, brushing
• 46:13
  something off of the yellow jacket and telling him he looks
• 46:16
  like a real Hollywood producer. Glenn Klitnick.
• 46:21
  The KDTV connector arrives with a few people.
• 46:24
  Bash dismisses Florian, saying he has to work a little side
• 46:28
  knot there. It's nothing right now, but it
• 46:31
  becomes something a little bit later.
• 46:35
  The writers bring it back sometime in Season 3.
• 46:39
  Glenn could be comment that it looks like just like the Hayward
• 46:43
  Sam said it is a cheat, but that matching is for pussies.
• 46:48
  Glenn introduces them to Rick Hollander, who's played by Peter
• 46:51
  O'Brien, who he called an MVP director at the network.
• 46:56
  Bash is already familiar with him as he directs the network
• 46:59
  longest running show, Quilting Be Easy.
• 47:04
  Rick says that he likes to welcome the new kids on the
• 47:06
  block, and Sam tells them that he appreciates the concern.
• 47:10
  Glenn says that it's curiosity, not concerned.
• 47:13
  He asks when they start shooting, and Sam tells them
• 47:15
  that it's tomorrow. He looks around the construction
• 47:18
  and looks dubious, and then puts on a hard hat to tour with
• 47:21
  Glenn. Sam curses at Bash, saying that
• 47:25
  they can't bring a director who sets uninvited.
• 47:28
  Bash agrees, wondering where his hard hat is.
• 47:29
  He says that he tossed a bullet by not replacing him with Rick.
• 47:33
  Sam is shocked that Glenn Klitdick tried to replace him
• 47:38
  with a guy that wears A turtleneck.
• 47:40
  Bash says that Glenn kept telling him during the break,
• 47:43
  mocking that Sam never directed as many hours of television.
• 47:47
  Bash tells Sam the one thing Rick Colliner doesn't have is
• 47:50
  that awesome traffic keeper. Sam yells.
• 47:52
  It's a letter fucking portfolio, 80s kids.
• 47:56
  You all know what the Trapper Keeper is, right?
• 47:58
  It's an awesome folder with lots of pockets to keep cool papers
• 48:01
  in, mostly popular in the mid 80s through 90s.
• 48:06
  At the mall, Davy stares at a red dress on a mannequin.
• 48:09
  Ruth calls for her and they do the Welfare Queen and Liberty
• 48:12
  Bell scene on the escalator. The other girls all do their own
• 48:16
  scenes as well. They end up causing a quite a
• 48:18
  commotion and the security guard finally asked Ruth as they're
• 48:20
  filming something there. Ruth agrees that she is that she
• 48:24
  is Ruth Wilder with KDTV. She tells him that he needs to
• 48:28
  see their permit. She can talk to her producers.
• 48:31
  He tells her that he doesn't need to, that he too is an actor
• 48:34
  when he's not doing his job. He instead hands her a headshot
• 48:38
  saying to get in touch with him if she has something he might be
• 48:41
  right for. So she asked him to a scene with
• 48:43
  the girls with a whole wall chased after him.
• 48:46
  Security guard was played by actor Christopher Michael, who
• 48:49
  is known for Get This playing security guards.
• 48:56
  Yep. That evening, Reggie approaches
• 49:00
  Ruth, telling her that it's a lot more fun.
• 49:02
  When she directs, she tells her to not to tell Sam that Reggie
• 49:07
  nods and leaves. Ruth helps Russell with his bag.
• 49:11
  He said that they shot some rat stuff that day, and she asked if
• 49:15
  he thinks they captured the Nexus of girl and girl violence
• 49:19
  and consumer culture in America. He replied that it was a way
• 49:21
  Dumber than that, but she has a decent eye.
• 49:25
  She chuckles. That decent.
• 49:27
  He asks if she wants to come back to his place, go to the
• 49:29
  footage and maybe have her drink.
• 49:31
  Debbie approaches, asking Ruth if he wants a ride.
• 49:34
  Ruth tells Russell that it's late and they can look over the
• 49:36
  footage tomorrow. He agrees that there's always
• 49:39
  tomorrow. Girl code in the car.
• 49:43
  Ruth thanks Debbie for the ride. Debbie comes.
• 49:45
  That's really a great idea for her to get involved with a
• 49:47
  sleazy. It's really not a great idea for
• 49:50
  her to get involved with a sleazy camera guy, and Ruth
• 49:52
  replied that she doesn't know he's sleazy.
• 49:55
  She asked if it would bother her if she went out on a date.
• 49:58
  Debbie asked if she's asking for her permission to date and she
• 50:01
  admits she doesn't know. Debbie says that she doesn't
• 50:04
  care what she does, she just doesn't need her to mess up
• 50:07
  morale by getting date raped. Ruth tells her that she was
• 50:11
  going to call her during a break, but she thought that she
• 50:13
  just shouldn't and if they show doesn't go, they might never
• 50:17
  talk again. She says that the data reminded
• 50:21
  her of when they were on scene, study class, and mind mounting
• 50:24
  over ideas. She misses acting with her.
• 50:27
  Debbie tell her that she's getting a divorce, God damn it.
• 50:32
  The whole drive must have been awkward.
• 50:34
  Real fault that Debbie's getting a divorce, but she still did the
• 50:38
  right thing. She still did girl code and
• 50:41
  helping her out by not sleeping with a sleepy cameraman just in
• 50:44
  case. All he wanted was sex.
• 50:47
  Sam arrives at his home and enters the fine loud music
• 50:51
  blasting and Justine prey, painting some shirts.
• 50:54
  He curses and asks what's going on, telling her to open a
• 50:57
  window. She tells him that they already
• 50:59
  are open and she's almost done. He turns off the music and
• 51:02
  asking her, asking her what the deal is with all the shirts with
• 51:05
  Ray Reed. Shit poke.
• 51:08
  She explained this for the band of her boyfriend, Billy.
• 51:11
  She's in charge of the merch. He tells her that they need to
• 51:14
  talk and she says she'll clean up.
• 51:17
  He says nothing about the shirts.
• 51:18
  It's about her asking if she's going back to Sacramento.
• 51:21
  She says that he said she could stay there, and he tells her
• 51:25
  that stay implies a short period of time.
• 51:28
  She reminds them that he said they were going to have a
• 51:30
  conversation, but he gave her some photo albums to look at and
• 51:33
  they never did. She doesn't know any of the
• 51:36
  people in the photo albums. He tells her that they're her
• 51:39
  Sicilian relatives. She suggests he tells her their
• 51:43
  names and details. He asked her if she really wants
• 51:46
  to talk about this right now, and she asked if he does.
• 51:49
  He sighs and says that he wants a drink.
• 51:52
  She asked if they can order Peaks, and he agrees, so long as
• 51:56
  it's not from Billy, you know? Her boyfriend, Debbie meets with
• 52:01
  Mark, asking him how his apartment is.
• 52:03
  He says that it's small, but he finally gets to hang his Ribble
• 52:06
  without a cause poster. Debbie meets with Glenn Klitnick
• 52:09
  and his wife, Jody. Devi promises to tell her
• 52:15
  everything she knows about Jack Wagner after they've ordered.
• 52:18
  Mark introduced himself as being from William Morris Business
• 52:21
  Affairs law firm. Glenn asked if she brought her
• 52:25
  agent. Devi says that he's not her
• 52:28
  agent, but he does work for her. Mark tells Glenn that he's made
• 52:32
  a contract with a bunch of desperate activists who doesn't
• 52:34
  know any better. Debbie, however, is worth more
• 52:37
  than that. She says that she's proud to be
• 52:39
  a part of KDTV family so long as they work out some tiny details.
• 52:44
  Mark hands papers to Glenn and he says there are a lot of tiny
• 52:47
  details. When Jodi gets a copy, he says
• 52:51
  that she doesn't need one. But Debbie says that he surely
• 52:54
  doesn't expect to just sit there looking pretty, and she may have
• 52:57
  some great ideas. She tells Glenn that she's been
• 53:00
  working as an actress. Naturally syndicated soap opera,
• 53:04
  She also had a career before the show.
• 53:06
  Glenn tells her that KDTV is small and local, and they don't
• 53:09
  have the kind of money she wants.
• 53:11
  Mark suggests that they start with Page 3 exclusivity.
• 53:16
  I love that so much. Just so she doesn't get, like,
• 53:21
  scammed or screwed over. She asked Mark to make a new
• 53:24
  contract, one that puts her in a much bigger position than all
• 53:28
  the girls. I have to read up on all of
• 53:31
  this. If any of the original GLOW
• 53:33
  girls had this thing done for them as well or performed with
• 53:37
  someone like this. Mark also says she's more she's
• 53:42
  worth more than the other girls, yet he ends up sleeping with one
• 53:47
  of them anyways. At the same time he's putting
• 53:49
  her out the there he's putting out there and they're not
• 53:53
  divorced yet. Could be trying to make them pay
• 53:55
  her more and then he can come out the winner in this
• 53:57
  situation. Movies and feelings Pop Pop.

• 56:05
  And until next time, whenever life is tough, just keep
• 56:08
  sipping. Sam and Bash enters their gym to
• 56:13
  find the place transformed. The ring is ready and things are
• 56:17
  looking good. Bash comments.
• 56:19
  That is a miracle, what you can accomplish when you force people
• 56:23
  to work overtime. He finds the girls and tells him
• 56:27
  that he doesn't like it when they're in a clump that they
• 56:29
  need to spread out. Ruth tells them they have a
• 56:33
  surprise. Debbie enters with Glenn, saying
• 56:35
  that she found him wandering the parking lot.
• 56:37
  He says he came to collect the contracts and make sure they
• 56:40
  actually had a set to shoot on. Ruth says that they do what they
• 56:44
  were going to do later, but Glenn tells them not to do
• 56:47
  anything different because he's there.
• 56:49
  He's a family on the wall. So Ruth turns on the TV and
• 56:53
  presents the intro. They made everyone.
• 56:57
  Everyone cheers and laughs except for Sam, who just looks
• 57:01
  stone faced as the video ends. Glenn says that if this if he
• 57:04
  had a hard hat, he would take it off.
• 57:07
  Sam tells him that he knows what he wants and that's why he hired
• 57:10
  him. Bash says he'll show Glenda new
• 57:12
  lobby and takes him away. Sam asks who there is, confused
• 57:18
  about who the director is. They just stare at him.
• 57:21
  He says that he is confused that he didn't send anyone to shoot a
• 57:24
  title sequence at the mall. He asks who shot it in before.
• 57:27
  Ruth can't answer. Russell says that he did and he
• 57:29
  cut it. Ruth steps forward, saying that
• 57:33
  it was her, that she told him what to shoot.
• 57:36
  He asks if she's making a move on his job.
• 57:39
  She says he asks for her help. He tells her that he needs her
• 57:42
  to be an actress. Bash comes in telling them to
• 57:46
  keep it down, that he has Glen right outside.
• 57:49
  Sam says he doesn't care that everyone should hear this.
• 57:53
  She's not a director because she took a camera to the mall.
• 57:56
  Ruth tells him that the girl needed a boost, and if they're
• 58:00
  being honest, the show needs something to pull the audience
• 58:03
  in. He tells her he's not pulling
• 58:05
  them in with this cheesy, girly intro.
• 58:07
  He calls the sequence garbage, saying he'd never put his name
• 58:11
  on something he didn't direct. Reggie pointed out that he put
• 58:16
  his name on the pilot. There's a gasp, and he asked
• 58:19
  what she said. She points out that it was Ruth
• 58:22
  that directed the pilot that he wasn't there.
• 58:24
  She saved his ass and he should be thanking her.
• 58:27
  He tells her she's fired. She says that he can't, that she
• 58:32
  signed a contract. He tells her that the contract
• 58:35
  says she can't quit without notice, but he can fire her ass
• 58:38
  whenever he wants. He tells her to pack up and get
• 58:42
  out. She looks done, but leaves,
• 58:44
  slamming a few chairs. Bash covers his mouth, looking
• 58:48
  shocked. Sam asked if anyone else has
• 58:50
  anything to say. Nobody does.
• 58:52
  He tells him to get to work, and if Ruth wants to help out, she
• 58:56
  can pick up the chairs. Debbie entered his office,
• 59:01
  presenting him with her new contract.
• 59:03
  She says there's an addendum, and he asked if that's what
• 59:06
  she's calling the additional 250 pages.
• 59:08
  She says that she has to look out for herself, that she knows
• 59:12
  what she's worked. Root knocks and enters.
• 59:15
  She tells Sam that if he wants to fire anyone to fire her.
• 59:18
  He asks if was that what she really wants.
• 59:22
  She tells him she had ideas and he tells her to put them in her
• 59:26
  diary. He can't make a show if they're
• 59:28
  looking for her for answers. She says that they care about
• 59:32
  each other and are a team. He tells her that they're not.
• 59:36
  It's not basketball. His entire office doesn't fall
• 59:38
  apart if he loses one. They're all replaceable.
• 59:41
  Even her. Ruth then leaves.
• 59:45
  Sam looks at Debbie's contract, asking if she's kidding about
• 59:49
  wanting to be a producer. She closed the door on the Ruth,
• 59:55
  staring in, and goes back to talking to Sam.
• 59:58
  Wait, what? Thank you.
• 1:00:05
  Debbie says that she's not kidding, that she is a producer.
• 1:00:09
  Brought it all in there. She closed the door on.
• 1:00:11
  On this, Ruth staring in and goes back to talking to Sam.
• 1:00:16
  Ruth turns around to look at the stage as the glow neon sign
• 1:00:19
  lights up. She smiles and walks down the
• 1:00:21
  stairs towards the ring with just like Honey by Jesus and
• 1:00:24
  Mary Chain playing through the credits.
• 1:00:28
  And that's the show. That's the end of the first
• 1:00:31
  episode of the second season. A great start to the first
• 1:00:35
  episode. Of course, we don't know where
• 1:00:37
  Cherry Bang is. We do.
• 1:00:39
  But her name is still on the opening credits, cited on Noel's
• 1:00:44
  name, still on the opening credits.
• 1:00:46
  Reggie gets fired because she spoke up.
• 1:00:49
  We did. Something happened and the and
• 1:00:54
  the Globe set where one girl got fired on her first day and like
• 1:00:59
  I got to go back and look it up. But it's hilarious when
• 1:01:04
  everybody speaks up about it. We've met.
• 1:01:07
  We meet a new a few new Jesus Christ.
• 1:01:11
  We meet a few new Latino cast members.
• 1:01:14
  And I love it already, especially a new junk change
• 1:01:18
  with representing Mexico. But she's really from Nicaragua,
• 1:01:22
  just like my family. What else?
• 1:01:25
  Devi inserting herself as a producer, She gets to sit at the
• 1:01:29
  table and make changes. So we might see maybe Reggie
• 1:01:32
  coming back to the next episode her doing.
• 1:01:36
  That reminds me of Hulk Hogan's contract with W He got all
• 1:01:39
  rights and accusivity to his character.
• 1:01:45
  It was a great episode. I can't wait to get through the
• 1:01:47
  season again and find new pop culture references like the
• 1:01:50
  traffic keeper and the whole route being Alma Hitchcock.
• 1:01:55
  So yeah, love this episode. It was amazing.
• 1:01:58
  It was awesome. That's it.
• 1:02:02
  That's it for the for the for episode 137.
• 1:02:07
  Join us next week. It's Royal Rumble season.
• 1:02:10
  I will have Menace back in here for the predictions episode and
• 1:02:13
  possibly a few more guests in the near future.

  Podcast on more info on the links that we can listen or

  watch in the show notes. Speaking of watching Turtle, I
• 1:02:38
  believe it's the only one that made it this far as well as
• 1:02:43
  others. If you made it this far and want
• 1:02:45
  to know exactly where I would be going for live streaming, then I
• 1:02:48
  guess I could say thank you. I will be going on tour and
• 1:02:54
  finding out what is the best streaming service for my brand.
• 1:02:57
  But but the podcast will definitely be live streaming and
• 1:03:00
  being recorded on TikTok only to be posted on YouTube.
• 1:03:06
  I have so many ideas and I want to share them with you.
• 1:03:09
  And in order to do that I need you all to follow me on TikTok
• 1:03:12
  at Evolution of a Geek. I'll have the link in the show
• 1:03:15
  notes and also on the link tree. I will be doing episodes of the
• 1:03:19
  podcast over there from now on. Possibly invite guests to appear
• 1:03:24
  on the show to talk about wrestling, movies, TV shows,
• 1:03:28
  whatever, whatever comes up, mental health, diabetes,
• 1:03:34
  whatever. The podcast will still air on
• 1:03:37
  Spotify and the other audio media sites, but the unedited
• 1:03:41
  version from this and possible behind the scenes shenanigans
• 1:03:44

  don't know how everyone's going to feel about this, but I don't

  care. A big thank you to my
• 1:06:55
  outstanding crew. We never gave it a name because

  we didn't have to. We just knew that whole

  Fatherless Behavior Squad came after for a brief moment.
• 1:07:09
  But I just want to say that these people, whether they
• 1:07:12
  bought the merge, held me down when the trolls were around,
• 1:07:15
  where the voice of reasoning stayed till 3:00 AM listening to
• 1:07:18
  me, or got to share a 10 minute song about licking candy.

  You are the ones that stuck around to listen to the show.
• 1:08:03
  We didn't have to. Or maybe you didn't and you left
• 1:08:06
