- 6:33Speaker 1: you're right. Summer vacay and everyone good drop dead. Man.
- 6:41Speaker 4: I cannot believe.
- 6:43Speaker 6: We lost Butcher at the beginning of September and 21
- 6:48Speaker 6: days later we lost Pac.
- 6:50Speaker 4: As a wrestling fan, that is.
- 6:53Speaker 1: It's been wild. Pac, Butcher, Dolly, Curry... Mr. Belding died
- 7:03Speaker 1: last night.
- 7:04Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what?
- 7:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Yo, you gotta be kidding me.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Peter Cullen. Shout out to Peter Cullen. Damn, hold on.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Let me get my guy in here. Hold on. I
- 7:16Speaker 1: gotta get Tafari. Tafari. Tafari TV. What's happening?
- 7:22Speaker 2: Yeah, we lost Optimus Prime for real, and we did
- 7:25Speaker 2: not save the cheerleader.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Hayden Panettiere.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Yep.
- 7:30Speaker 1: And they're still investigating that. I don't know what the hell.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I don't know what's in the water or not in
- 7:38Speaker 1: the water. We left long enough for me to get
- 7:47Speaker 1: a new house and to get rested up. And the
- 7:53Speaker 1: only great thing that's happened is Spider-Man Brand New Day
- 7:56Speaker 1: hit $ 2 billion. Yes.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yeah, we missed four billion dollar films in our absence.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Yes.
- 8:07Speaker 2: We had Spider-Man, Odyssey, Toy Story 5, and I'm blanking
- 8:12Speaker 2: on what the other one was.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Yeah, no big deal on Toy Story 5.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Which, by the way, it was fine.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Yeah, which, by the way, undercard. Because I didn't know
- 8:25Speaker 1: they were looking for it like that. Because what was
- 8:27Speaker 1: the thing? We were just like, Toy Story 5, they
- 8:29Speaker 1: still going? I'll say this. The kids are looking for it.
- 8:32Speaker 2: When you watch it, you'll understand. I just didn't have
- 8:35Speaker 2: a way to tell you without spoiling. But very much
- 8:37Speaker 2: a win for black girls and black cowboys.
- 8:40Speaker 1: That's all I need to know.
- 8:42Speaker 2: So very much word of mouth got out. I still
- 8:47Speaker 2: hate the fourth one. I still think that did not
- 8:49Speaker 2: need to be made. But no, Toy Story 5 has
- 8:52Speaker 2: got it. I fully have regained trust in the franchise.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I forgot the other good thing that dropped while we
- 8:59Speaker 1: were out. A Different World. That dropped. And for the
- 9:05Speaker 1: people that are misquoting it, it's not a reboot. Let
- 9:08Speaker 1: me explain. A reboot means you use the same characters,
- 9:12Speaker 1: different actors. That's why it's called... That's a reboot. This
- 9:16Speaker 1: is a continuation. We have the same actors playing the
- 9:20Speaker 1: same characters going on to this... Going on to a
- 9:23Speaker 1: new class of students. Just like the original where you
- 9:27Speaker 1: had Dwayne, Whitley, Denise, Jaleesa, and the Colonel, and Mr. Gaines,
- 9:32Speaker 1: Western Peace. We are still having those core characters. Minus Denise.
- 9:38Speaker 1: We still have those core characters with their kids and
- 9:42Speaker 1: other new characters. And by the way, I didn't catch
- 9:45Speaker 1: her name. The actress who plays Rashida, or as Whitley says, Rashida.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Her mother is Tichina Arnold.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:58Speaker 1: And she plays her mother in the show. And when
- 10:02Speaker 1: I tell you, she acts exactly like her mother. It shows.
- 10:08Speaker 1: It shows. It starts to show immediately. Like the mannerism.
- 10:12Speaker 1: When you look at it, you're like, I'm seeing Pam
- 10:14Speaker 1: right now. All I'm seeing is Pam from Martin. All
- 10:18Speaker 1: the mannerisms. But overall, the show's great. The show is great.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Damn you all to hell for those who are talking
- 10:29Speaker 1: about a 64-year-old woman and how she's aged, which is naturally.
- 10:33Speaker 1: And it's the basement versions once again.
- 10:38Speaker 4: You already know most of these jokes.
- 10:42Speaker 6: Why are you idiots looking for perfection when you're just
- 10:45Speaker 6: as flawed as the next thing?
- 10:47Speaker 4: You want it to be perfect, but you're the doom-scrolling generation.
- 10:51Speaker 4: We don't care about y'all.
- 10:53Speaker 1: But the overall theme is everybody loves it.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I'm halfway through season six. I'll be there eventually.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Speaking of which, before we get into Lanterns, so Tafari
- 11:09Speaker 1: is watching. He's going through his binge watch of the
- 11:14Speaker 1: original run of Different Worlds. But he's watching it on Netflix. Now,
- 11:18Speaker 1: what they did on Netflix is they did an AI upscale.
- 11:26Speaker 1: And there are things that have happened. I literally is
- 11:32Speaker 1: the clip too far. I put up is a clip
- 11:34Speaker 1: where Ron and Dwayne Wayne are talking and Dwayne Wayne.
- 11:37Speaker 1: He clearly has his glasses on.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Right.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Not to flip up glasses.
- 11:41Speaker 2: I couldn't see it. The shit's just they just melted
- 11:44Speaker 2: into his face.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Yeah. It literally they disappear. He walks in. You see
- 11:48Speaker 1: the glasses and then the camera follows him to the couch.
- 11:51Speaker 1: By the time he gets to the couch, the glasses
- 11:53Speaker 1: are gone.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's literally, and I can't, and I feel
- 11:59Speaker 2: bad because my mom started rewatching it with me from Texas,
- 12:03Speaker 2: and she's like, ever since I pointed out, you can't
- 12:05Speaker 2: read any of the stuff in the background. That's all
- 12:07Speaker 2: she notices.
- 12:08Speaker 1: There's faces in the background that are distorted.
- 12:11Speaker 2: The faces are distorted. All the signage is weird. If
- 12:15Speaker 2: there's like a label on something, it's distorted. You can't
- 12:17Speaker 2: read Colonel Taylor's name tag, but literally anytime Dwayne is
- 12:21Speaker 2: doing this or this, This part of his glasses just
- 12:24Speaker 2: melts into the side of his head. It's so weird.
- 12:31Speaker 2: It looks like you're supposed to have 3D glasses, but
- 12:33Speaker 2: how the three images split between the red and blue,
- 12:36Speaker 2: it looks like someone took them out of sync just
- 12:40Speaker 2: a little, and they're just always about to bounce out
- 12:43Speaker 2: or in but never do.
- 12:44Speaker 4: Somebody was on a gummy.
- 12:46Speaker 1: So i i i told too far i said i
- 12:50Speaker 1: know you're doing a binge run so i get it
- 12:52Speaker 1: i said but if you really want to watch it
- 12:54Speaker 1: watch it on tv one just just watch it on
- 12:57Speaker 1: tv one because because they show they show that they
- 13:00Speaker 1: show living single they show martin they show all of
- 13:02Speaker 1: them like you if you want to take but but
- 13:06Speaker 1: he's on a binge run so i get it you
- 13:09Speaker 1: know but oh yeah yeah uh Spellhouse Homecoming is going
- 13:16Speaker 1: to go crazy next weekend. Oh yeah, you better believe it.
- 13:21Speaker 1: EB1 Cosplay, welcome to the show. He said, the flack
- 13:23Speaker 1: that Jasmine Guy is getting for aging?
- 13:25Speaker 2: Yes.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Bama says, leave Jasmine Guy alone. I agree.
- 13:29Speaker 2: These people are legends.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Dark Elite wants to know how the Tommy Davidson show
- 13:35Speaker 1: is on Paramount. I'm not hearing good things.
- 13:37Speaker 2: I'm not hearing anything good.
- 13:39Speaker 4: I didn't even know.
- 13:41Speaker 2: The Varnell Hill show is what it's called.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it is, the Varnell. It's the smartest.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 13:45Speaker 1: That's why. And I don't want to cancel it. Don't
- 13:51Speaker 1: mean either.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I think it can be saved. If y'all give them
- 13:53Speaker 2: a second season, I mean, I know if this Warner
- 13:57Speaker 2: Brothers thing goes through, y'all need money to make back. But, like,
- 14:00Speaker 2: I think they can fix it. Like, Different World took
- 14:03Speaker 2: two seasons to get going. Yeah.
- 14:06Speaker 1: So if you– and okay. Okay. We're going to go
- 14:09Speaker 1: through three different perspectives with a different world. That first season,
- 14:15Speaker 1: because me and Navy, we were there. We were locked
- 14:18Speaker 1: in the original. So that first season was meant to
- 14:22Speaker 1: be just following Denise in a couple characters, but mainly Denise.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Now what happened behind the scenes is she ended up
- 14:31Speaker 1: getting married to Lenny Kravitz. She got pregnant. And it
- 14:36Speaker 1: was kind of a falling out with her and Bill Cosby.
- 14:40Speaker 1: And some of the roles that she was also taken
- 14:42Speaker 1: to was like in a couple R-rated films. And it
- 14:45Speaker 1: was a falling out. And so the show itself was
- 14:51Speaker 1: not well designed. But then again, when you have a
- 14:55Speaker 1: first season of any show at that time, that's kind
- 14:58Speaker 1: of the run of the mill.
- 14:59Speaker 4: Yeah, you're supposed to have things fall apart so you
- 15:01Speaker 4: can fix them.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Yeah, so they did their thing. They did their first season.
- 15:07Speaker 1: They still had Whitley. They had Dwayne. They had Jaleesa.
- 15:11Speaker 1: They still had their court, but they also had Marissa Tomei.
- 15:14Speaker 1: A lot of people don't remember that. So it was like, yes,
- 15:19Speaker 1: Aunt May went to HBCU. So that went that way,
- 15:26Speaker 1: and it was received well, but it wasn't received well.
- 15:33Speaker 1: And they brought Debbie Allen in. They retooled it. And
- 15:37Speaker 1: they made it to where Denise dropped out. By this time,
- 15:41Speaker 1: they made up over at the Cosby show with Bill
- 15:43Speaker 1: Cosby behind the scenes and everything. All that got cleared up.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Contracts got situated. All that. But then they went forward
- 15:51Speaker 1: with the second season of Different World. And it still
- 15:53Speaker 1: kept Jaleesa Whitley. Dwayne, obviously, brought in Sinbad. They brought
- 15:58Speaker 1: Sinbad in to play Walter Oaks. And they had Mr.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Gaines and the Colonel and everybody. They brought everybody in.
- 16:05Speaker 1: They retooled it. And it was better for it. All
- 16:10Speaker 1: that show was better for it. Because the topics that
- 16:13Speaker 1: they covered even then.
- 16:15Speaker 6: They did not stray away from anything that was controversial.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Right. I was going to say, they had the... What
- 16:21Speaker 2: was it? The essay episode with Bruce Leroy and Freddie?
- 16:26Speaker 1: I had never seen Time Act the same way after
- 16:29Speaker 1: that episode. it was so young me I'm just like
- 16:36Speaker 1: dude you're supposed to be Bruce Leroy the chosen one.
- 16:40Speaker 6: What are we doing not anymore my favorite one was
- 16:46Speaker 6: the episode with Dwayne and Dean Cain when they were
- 16:50Speaker 6: in jail.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Who would have thought that I just got by that
- 16:55Speaker 1: one who would have thought now man.
- 16:58Speaker 6: What What in the world? That one opened a lot
- 17:03Speaker 6: of people's eyes, I think, at that point. A lot
- 17:06Speaker 6: of people were sort of floating at what it means
- 17:10Speaker 6: to be black until you saw that.
- 17:11Speaker 4: It was like, wait a second.
- 17:13Speaker 1: He's right. That's what I loved about that show. They
- 17:16Speaker 1: did not shy away from the black experience. And they
- 17:21Speaker 1: showed the ups and downs of dating. They showed HIV.
- 17:27Speaker 1: They talked about black culture. They talked about how racism
- 17:31Speaker 1: was affecting. All these things.
- 17:33Speaker 4: Single parenthood.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Single parenthood. All of these things. All of these things.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Even when they got to the later episodes where Lena
- 17:42Speaker 1: James and Charmaine and everybody starts coming in. The episode
- 17:47Speaker 1: they show with Lena James and she's lying about her
- 17:49Speaker 1: father being a Black Panther and everything else. And he's not.
- 17:54Speaker 3: So.
- 17:58Speaker 1: But, yes, even Jada Pinkett at the time, like, she
- 18:01Speaker 1: was on her way.
- 18:02Speaker 2: I saw her and the other dude. I'm like, oh,
- 18:05Speaker 2: so y'all did a screen test for Jason's lyric this episode.
- 18:07Speaker 2: This was like three years before that movie came out.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, Lance. Lance. So, CJ, or what is his name?
- 18:15Speaker 1: Alan Payne. Alan Payne, who plays Lance on the Cosby show.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Charmaine is the girlfriend, and they're friends to cousin... Erica
- 18:29Speaker 1: Alexander plays the cousin. in Cosby's show. She was like
- 18:34Speaker 1: the cousin that moved in.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Okay, I still haven't fully gone through that show because
- 18:38Speaker 2: I'm like, he's like, yeah, I got a letter from
- 18:39Speaker 2: a Huxtable. And I'm like, why did nobody react to that?
- 18:42Speaker 2: Y'all haven't seen Denise in like four years.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a lot. There's still connections. There's still connections.
- 18:50Speaker 2: And season six, Shaza is here for some reason.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Shaza. Oh, gosh.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Just the blueprint for people like Derek Jackson and all
- 18:58Speaker 2: the grifters.
- 18:58Speaker 1: In the world. Yeah. Shaza. I was like, oh, here
- 19:04Speaker 1: come this dude. Freddie, wake up.
- 19:06Speaker 2: It's that dude who graduated but keeps coming by the
- 19:08Speaker 2: school and just won't leave. The only people that will
- 19:11Speaker 2: listen to him are the freshmen.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Because they don't know any better. How many times did
- 19:17Speaker 1: he talk about the way the culture was and everything else?
- 19:20Speaker 1: And they were just like, but you're here at this college. So,
- 19:22Speaker 1: I mean. Bama said Dwayne is responsible for Papa Pope. Yes,
- 19:29Speaker 1: that is a thing.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard there's a whole reunion in there. So
- 19:34Speaker 2: I'm waiting to see it.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Papa Pope.
- 19:39Speaker 2: It is.
- 19:40Speaker 1: But the continuation of the show, it's good. The only
- 19:44Speaker 1: complaint that I was hearing was like, they didn't touch
- 19:47Speaker 1: on more real world issues. I said, number one, it's
- 19:49Speaker 1: a 10 episode show. And obviously it's streaming. So the
- 19:56Speaker 1: dynamics are completely different. It's not filmed before a live
- 19:59Speaker 1: studio audience. It's still half levels of comedy. It's still
- 20:02Speaker 1: a comedy drama. It's just shot differently. It's not live.
- 20:06Speaker 1: It's just shot differently. And They have touched on real
- 20:10Speaker 1: world issues. They talk about a lot of stuff. And
- 20:14Speaker 1: that's in the first 10 episodes. So let them cook.
- 20:18Speaker 1: They went from second place on Saturday to being first
- 20:21Speaker 1: place by Sunday.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Don't ask me how that Willy Wonka thing was ahead
- 20:26Speaker 1: of it. I have no idea.
- 20:27Speaker 2: No, the Great British Bake Off. That joint was holding
- 20:31Speaker 2: on for dear life all weekend. And I kept seeing it.
- 20:34Speaker 2: The second it hit number one, I saw a creep
- 20:35Speaker 2: summer post. Word number one, I'm like, I know they
- 20:38Speaker 2: was watching the numbers. If y'all don't get this bullshit
- 20:40Speaker 2: out of here. I know the show has fans. I'm like,
- 20:43Speaker 2: how is this just randomly holding the top spot and
- 20:46Speaker 2: just it won't move? Literally the entire internet is talking
- 20:49Speaker 2: about a different world, which... Y'all have a chance to
- 20:51Speaker 2: do the funniest thing. Y'all can bring Marissa Tomei back.
- 20:57Speaker 2: And then have her show up. You can have her
- 20:59Speaker 2: dating the one white guy who wasn't racist, and then
- 21:01Speaker 2: their son turns out to be Tom Holliday.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Oh, Freddie's cousin. Yeah, Freddie's cousin.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Not Freddie's cousin, but the one dude who, when they
- 21:08Speaker 2: went to jail, the one dude who stood up and
- 21:10Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I don't like any of this. Oh,
- 21:12Speaker 2: that guy. Because it sure.
- 21:14Speaker 1: As hell won't be Dean Cain.
- 21:17Speaker 6: Dean Cain may pop up out of nowhere and say,
- 21:19Speaker 6: y'all forgot about me?
- 21:23Speaker 2: I saw that on Reddit. People were like, do you
- 21:24Speaker 2: think they'll bring his character back in there? I was like,
- 21:25Speaker 2: probably not. The other guy who admitted his wrongs, maybe.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Dean Cain, not so much. You'll get Marissa Tomei before
- 21:33Speaker 2: you get Dean Cain.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Great show. It still creates a lot of talk about
- 21:44Speaker 1: going to HBCU's it made me want to go to one.
- 21:49Speaker 2: And Roman went up because of the show, didn't it?
- 21:52Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Roman, it didn't go up. It shot up.
- 21:58Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is that original cast, they've worked
- 22:03Speaker 1: with that conglomerate of Cosby, Debbie Allen, and everybody else.
- 22:08Speaker 1: They were in school days. Oh, yo, that's right. Half
- 22:14Speaker 1: that cast was in School Days.
- 22:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. So, like, they've always been, like, a fixture.
- 22:20Speaker 6: Only one or two that are missing from it. But, yeah,
- 22:23Speaker 6: the majority of that cast was in School Days.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Like, Ron was in one of the frats. Jasmine Garrett
- 22:30Speaker 1: was in the sorority. Tisha Campbell was in the sorority
- 22:34Speaker 1: as well. So, like, they've been around. Like, that show...
- 22:42Speaker 1: That show is akin to what you see in Law
- 22:44Speaker 1: & Order. When you watch old episodes of Law &
- 22:46Speaker 1: Order and you see all these known actors who were
- 22:50Speaker 1: really unknown at that time or just coming up, you
- 22:54Speaker 1: watch a different world and you see people in the background.
- 22:57Speaker 1: You see people showing up like, oh, I seen you here. Like, wow,
- 23:03Speaker 1: you were here? Good stuff.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Yeah, like, I'm looking at a very young Marquise Houston
- 23:10Speaker 2: in Whitley's badass class right now. Oh, wow.
- 23:15Speaker 1: That was the show where, when Tupac showed up, they
- 23:17Speaker 1: was like, and this was, Tupac was getting at the height,
- 23:20Speaker 1: at the height of his career.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:23Speaker 1: He was like, he was getting in his acting bag,
- 23:25Speaker 1: and it was like, oh, Tupac's gonna premiere, he's gonna
- 23:29Speaker 1: appear on A Different World, and you know, so you
- 23:32Speaker 1: know the ratings shot up again. So yeah, it good
- 23:36Speaker 1: show it's a good show that still has that still
- 23:40Speaker 1: holds a special place not just my heart but a
- 23:42Speaker 1: lot of people in the black community and threads hey
- 23:46Speaker 1: black threads specifically specifically y'all doing a fantastic job talking
- 23:52Speaker 1: about the show.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Thank you Yeah, I'm glad I joined the app just
- 23:58Speaker 2: in time. My algorithm turns a little Twitter some days,
- 24:01Speaker 2: but that goose meme gets me right back where.
- 24:03Speaker 4: I need to be.
- 24:05Speaker 6: I ultimately gave in. I'm on threads now. It's actually
- 24:08Speaker 6: been somewhat fun and entertaining.
- 24:11Speaker 1: It's blackity black. If you're getting black threads, it's blackity black.
- 24:14Speaker 1: You're just like, oh, it's unhinged blackity black. It's what
- 24:20Speaker 1: we did over at Black Twitter, but we're just like, alright,
- 24:23Speaker 1: we're tired of this bullshit. We're going to go over here.
- 24:26Speaker 4: That's what you call blue-black, y'all.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Yeah, blue-black.
- 24:29Speaker 4: Original black.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Original black. Like Mr.
- 24:33Speaker 4: Friar said, the kind of black that makes you go, black.
- 24:36Speaker 5: That's it.
- 24:38Speaker 1: That is it. So, I and myself and Tafari, because
- 24:45Speaker 1: maybe he has not seen it just yet. That's okay.
- 24:48Speaker 1: That is completely fine.
- 24:49Speaker 4: I'm still deep into the lore.
- 24:51Speaker 1: But we are... We are watching Lanterns.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Yep.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And... By God, this show's good. We have one more episode,
- 25:09Speaker 1: which is episode 8, but we're going to be covering
- 25:11Speaker 1: episode 7 this Thursday. One... It's very rare that the
- 25:20Speaker 1: writing on a show is consistent from episode to episode
- 25:26Speaker 1: to episode. And people that are crying woke, I said,
- 25:30Speaker 1: you have no fucking idea what that word even means. What?
- 25:35Speaker 6: Stop stop listen to the ultraviolet collective okay when they
- 25:39Speaker 6: use this.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Word at this point y'all saw this hick-ass town called
- 25:42Speaker 2: rushville and thought y'all were getting a documentary.
- 25:50Speaker 1: So spoiler alert oh we're gonna be talking about a
- 25:53Speaker 1: couple things do we have do we have the button
- 25:55Speaker 1: still i don't know i don't I don't think so.
- 25:59Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 26:02Speaker 6: I was expecting it to pop up, man.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I don't think I have that one anymore. I think
- 26:08Speaker 1: I had to clear out stuff. No, I don't.
- 26:12Speaker 2: I don't.
- 26:12Speaker 1: I got to make a new one.
- 26:14Speaker 4: Attention all blurbs. This is a spoiler alert. Fuck your feelings.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Spoiler alert.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Don't worry.
- 26:24Speaker 1: We'll have one. So... Starting in episode one, we get
- 26:31Speaker 1: introduced to a young trainee. Well, not young trainee. We
- 26:35Speaker 1: get introduced to Jon Stewart, who's training with Hal Jordan.
- 26:40Speaker 4: So that makes him an acolyte?
- 26:43Speaker 1: Yeah. And he shows up in a GNX of all cars.
- 26:53Speaker 1: And he wrecks this son of a bitch to train
- 26:55Speaker 1: Jon Stewart He says, if you think you can do
- 26:59Speaker 1: something with this ring, he puts the ring, and we
- 27:01Speaker 1: see that in the trailer. He puts the ring on
- 27:03Speaker 1: the dashboard and dives out the car. And it still
- 27:09Speaker 1: has not been seen how John survived that crash. Although,
- 27:14Speaker 1: if you look closely, there is a faint green light
- 27:16Speaker 1: at the bottom of the ravine. Like at the very bottom.
- 27:21Speaker 1: But they never show what's happening. This entire show so
- 27:27Speaker 1: far It's giving... It's giving True Detective.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:35Speaker 1: It's giving True Detective in every sense of the word.
- 27:38Speaker 1: It's not a buddy cop type vibe, but it's giving...
- 27:45Speaker 1: It's giving, like, another 48 hours. Or 48 hours. It's giving, like...
- 27:50Speaker 1: It's a very contentious relationship.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Yeah, Bama.
- 27:55Speaker 1: He crashed the GNX.
- 27:58Speaker 4: But we like Nick Nolte, though. We like Nick Nolte.
- 28:04Speaker 2: The show, it's not just a good DC show. It
- 28:07Speaker 2: is just a good show that HBO has that you
- 28:10Speaker 2: can kind of jump into even if you don't know
- 28:12Speaker 2: about any of the previous projects that potentially will tie
- 28:16Speaker 2: into this or that it sets up. It's good on
- 28:19Speaker 2: its own while also still being in a shared world.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Yes.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Yes, because there's mentions of it later on in later episodes.
- 28:27Speaker 1: There's certain mentions. So they don't shy away from anything.
- 28:31Speaker 1: It's very well connected, but at the same time, separate from...
- 28:36Speaker 1: And I'm liking this kind of formula. You know, opposed
- 28:42Speaker 1: to what's going on in the MCU where everything is
- 28:44Speaker 1: like super connected and you have to watch it, you
- 28:47Speaker 1: have to watch it. Like, no, there's just... You don't
- 28:50Speaker 1: have to worry about Superman showing up or Batman. That's
- 28:55Speaker 1: not happening.
- 28:57Speaker 2: You know.
- 28:58Speaker 1: but you are getting connections to the world that James
- 29:02Speaker 1: Gunn and his team are already building. So they have
- 29:08Speaker 1: to go, you know, while John is out surviving the crash,
- 29:13Speaker 1: number one, and he's walking down the freeway looking like
- 29:15Speaker 1: highway to heaven. The ring produces a century or a hologram,
- 29:25Speaker 1: a hologram as it's being called. And you could tell
- 29:31Speaker 1: it's an earlier version of Hal. Like maybe several years earlier,
- 29:37Speaker 1: like one that's not so cynical or not so grumpy.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Yeah, it's 10 years. So apparently they can put backups
- 29:45Speaker 2: of themselves in their rings. And Hal hasn't had one
- 29:49Speaker 2: in 10 years. So he has his first backup pop
- 29:52Speaker 2: up in a decade. And things kind of get going
- 29:56Speaker 2: from there.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Yeah, he gives him a message. He says, hey, I
- 30:01Speaker 1: need to give him a message, blah, blah, blah. And
- 30:04Speaker 1: so he finally catches up with the real Hal, and
- 30:08Speaker 1: they're talking, and he was like, he tells them something about,
- 30:12Speaker 1: he says a message, he says where, and he says Rushville,
- 30:15Speaker 1: and next you know, Hal takes off. He flies off,
- 30:18Speaker 1: which leaves John to have to get a rental and
- 30:21Speaker 1: meet him in Rushville. So far, Hal is a dick. Yeah.
- 30:27Speaker 4: I caught a little bit and I just noticed. I said,
- 30:30Speaker 4: why are you being such a wuss? Why are you
- 30:33Speaker 4: being such a dickhead, man?
- 30:35Speaker 1: He is such an asshole. But as the show progresses,
- 30:41Speaker 1: you start to understand a little bit more why he's
- 30:46Speaker 1: doing a lot of things he's doing. It's not so
- 30:49Speaker 1: much to just train John. He is very, very skeptical
- 30:56Speaker 1: of everything and everyone. He's been doing, he's been the
- 31:00Speaker 1: Green Lantern for what, 20 years?
- 31:04Speaker 2: Yeah, because he went public in 96. He's basically been
- 31:09Speaker 2: at it since John was a baby because the Guardians
- 31:13Speaker 2: don't do research at all before they go to planets.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Yeah. If you take what you know about the Green
- 31:22Speaker 1: Lantern Corps, Some of it, a good portion of it
- 31:26Speaker 1: is adapted and it's just in certain parts. Like we
- 31:31Speaker 1: all know that if a Green Lantern dies, the ring
- 31:34Speaker 1: flies off and finds a new host. It finds a
- 31:36Speaker 1: new owner. It finds a new wearer. That's not the
- 31:40Speaker 1: case all the time. And we do meet, I think
- 31:44Speaker 1: it's Liana. Liana, who is, I can't remember the actress' name,
- 31:48Speaker 1: but she is saying that she's one of the Guardians.
- 31:52Speaker 1: She is one of the people that Hal is supposed
- 31:56Speaker 1: to report to.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Laura Linney.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Yeah, Laura Linney. But he does not. So when Hal
- 32:05Speaker 1: gets to Rushville, we recognize that there are several bodies
- 32:11Speaker 1: in this hick town in Nebraska that are dead on
- 32:15Speaker 1: the high school football field. And they're starting to realize, like,
- 32:20Speaker 1: people are like, there's something going on. Now, Hal goes
- 32:23Speaker 1: into detective mode immediately. But he, like I said, Hal
- 32:26Speaker 1: is such a dick, he's not really letting John in
- 32:29Speaker 1: on a lot of the information that he's telling him.
- 32:33Speaker 1: But it's for good reason when you find out so
- 32:35Speaker 1: much later, you find out, oh, this is why he's
- 32:37Speaker 1: doing this, this is why he's doing this. Because he
- 32:41Speaker 1: has clearly trust issues. Clearly. Trust issues. And this is
- 32:50Speaker 1: when you start to find out a couple of things
- 32:53Speaker 1: is going on in this town. And the sheriff, Sheriff Kane,
- 32:58Speaker 1: Kerry Kane, is from Gotham. You find that out much later.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Because he says, you don't have an accent. He said,
- 33:07Speaker 1: where are you from? She says, Gotham. He's like, oh, okay.
- 33:12Speaker 1: And they're trying to discover what's going on with all
- 33:15Speaker 1: these bodies. Because these bodies are... Even though they look human,
- 33:19Speaker 1: they aren't human.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Also, nobody seems to be sad or bothered by a
- 33:24Speaker 2: shootout that just happened at a football game.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 33:30Speaker 1: And he's going into Detective Moe, and the sheriff is asking,
- 33:34Speaker 1: what is he doing? He said, there's somebody here watching.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Even though there's people there, he says, there is somebody
- 33:40Speaker 1: here that should not be here, and they're watching. And...
- 33:45Speaker 1: he's like, well, who do you think it is? And
- 33:47Speaker 1: he was like, somebody who's going to be a little
- 33:50Speaker 1: too attentive. Like, you got something to do with this.
- 33:54Speaker 1: And he finds out who it is. He chases him down. Him, John,
- 33:59Speaker 1: and the sheriff, they chase the guy down. And now
- 34:01Speaker 1: they're interrogating him at the jail. And one of the
- 34:06Speaker 1: things John, he just starts asking questions. Basically, he's not
- 34:11Speaker 1: so much doing a good cop, bad cop routine. He
- 34:14Speaker 1: is just going fully in, asking some hard-hitting questions. And
- 34:18Speaker 1: he says, one of the questions he asked, he says,
- 34:22Speaker 1: how do you feel about Obama? And he was like, oh,
- 34:26Speaker 1: the 45th president of the United States. He was just like,
- 34:30Speaker 1: he looks back, he's like, this guy's an alien. He
- 34:34Speaker 1: was like, in this little hick town, and y'all don't
- 34:38Speaker 1: have a problem, you're not feeling any type of way
- 34:41Speaker 1: about the first black president? It's already coming off with
- 34:45Speaker 1: how it sounds like he's being racist. And he's not.
- 34:51Speaker 1: He's really not. He's just like, yo, it's Nebraska. Red State.
- 34:59Speaker 2: You got nothing?
- 35:01Speaker 4: You knew this was going to happen. They're not racist
- 35:05Speaker 4: enough for you.
- 35:06Speaker 1: It doesn't strike you as odd. He was just like,
- 35:11Speaker 1: in this time, It don't strike you as odd? A
- 35:14Speaker 1: farmer hick town, a red state, and he has no
- 35:20Speaker 1: qualms about President Obama? He's like, this guy's fishy. This
- 35:30Speaker 1: guy's fishy.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Barack Hussein Obama, you have no comments about that.
- 35:38Speaker 1: But once again, you start to understand how, by the
- 35:43Speaker 1: time it gets to episode four, you start to understand
- 35:50Speaker 1: why Hal is the way he is.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 1: And you kind of, he's still a dick. We're not
- 35:58Speaker 1: taking that away from him.
- 36:00Speaker 4: That's not going to change.
- 36:02Speaker 1: That ain't changing. But you can understand where it comes from.
- 36:07Speaker 1: And you can, that Bama. He just ignorant. Not ignorant, ignorant.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Look how he grew up.
- 36:16Speaker 4: Bless his heart, that baby didn't know.
- 36:19Speaker 1: That's the other thing. That's the other thing. Skipping ahead,
- 36:22Speaker 1: you see what happens in episode 6. And you're saying,
- 36:27Speaker 1: he has an air of entitlement. Almost. And that starts
- 36:32Speaker 1: to show.
- 36:35Speaker 2: They have the interrogation and then dude just drops the
- 36:38Speaker 2: act completely.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:41Speaker 1: And he self-explodes. He suicide bombs himself.
- 36:49Speaker 2: How?
- 36:51Speaker 1: You don't know. He doesn't have anything on him. It's
- 36:54Speaker 1: something that's in him.
- 36:56Speaker 6: Doesn't that exhaust the ring because Hal used it to
- 37:00Speaker 6: suppress the explosion?
- 37:01Speaker 2: Yes. His battery is always so damn low.
- 37:06Speaker 1: And what's going on? Thank you, El Blur for life.
- 37:13Speaker 1: What's happening? What's going on? So, you also start to
- 37:19Speaker 1: understand why he's like that. You start to understand why
- 37:24Speaker 1: his battery is always at 5%. Because there's even a
- 37:29Speaker 1: moment later on in, I think it's episode 3, where
- 37:36Speaker 1: he has to charge his ring and he says the oath.
- 37:41Speaker 2: He says the oath like a nigga praying over fast food.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I just want.
- 37:47Speaker 1: To get this over with. I just want to get
- 37:50Speaker 1: this over with.
- 37:52Speaker 2: He very much hit the da-da-da-da.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Let me say this real quick. I just want
- 37:59Speaker 1: to get this over with. And he does it. And
- 38:02Speaker 1: he's back full charge. Hal lets his ring die down
- 38:07Speaker 1: to 5% for a very good reason. He doesn't upload
- 38:12Speaker 1: his consciousness for a very good reason. And as Liana states,
- 38:18Speaker 1: he doesn't really report to us. But we've reprimanded him
- 38:23Speaker 1: several times. And there's a reason for that. Everything that's happening,
- 38:31Speaker 1: Hal has a reason. It's not just he's battle-worn and
- 38:33Speaker 1: he's seen stuff. He's seen shit that's looking like You
- 38:38Speaker 1: Guardians are full of shit.
- 38:41Speaker 2: And we still don't know what oath he broke. I'm thinking...
- 38:48Speaker 2: It's a whole lot of internal HR things going on
- 38:51Speaker 2: that we still have yet to be enlightened about.
- 38:53Speaker 6: It's pretty safe to assume because Lanterns aren't always... They're
- 38:58Speaker 6: encouraged never to take a life.
- 39:01Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's one of them. That's one of the oaths.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Because if you remember what Guy Gardner said in Superman,
- 39:08Speaker 1: he's always crying about this. Oh, and we always looked
- 39:10Speaker 1: at Guy Gardner as like a bit of a joke
- 39:12Speaker 1: in comics. He's still kind of a joke, but at
- 39:14Speaker 1: the same time, he's very abrasive, but it gets the
- 39:19Speaker 1: job done, you know? And even in Superman, when Guy
- 39:24Speaker 1: Gardner says it, he's like, I took an oath and Mr.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Terrific and Hulk look at him like he's always saying
- 39:32Speaker 1: that but he's actually taking the oath very seriously and
- 39:37Speaker 1: the oath is part of the oath is not what
- 39:40Speaker 1: is being said but it's more of what the guardians
- 39:44Speaker 1: the rules of the guardians they're saying yeah you are
- 39:47Speaker 1: only supposed to use this ring against extraterrestrial threats. Which
- 39:54Speaker 1: he does for most of Superman. He does most of
- 39:56Speaker 1: the time. Until they get to the Battle of Barathea.
- 40:02Speaker 1: But since Superman is on the planet, that kind of
- 40:08Speaker 1: gives him a loophole. But other than that, he's like, yeah,
- 40:14Speaker 1: I'm supposed to use this ring to stop any extraterrestrial
- 40:17Speaker 1: threat and this, that, and the other. And I'm thinking
- 40:20Speaker 1: because Hal Jordan, he either killed someone or he was
- 40:30Speaker 1: using his ring to help Earth. Not extraterrestrial, but actual Earthlings. Like,
- 40:37Speaker 1: stop a crime here and there. And we kind of
- 40:39Speaker 1: see that in Episode 3.
- 40:41Speaker 2: I feel like he was supposed to turn in Clark
- 40:43Speaker 2: and didn't.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Be that could be that.
- 40:47Speaker 6: Which is weird because if you know the lore of
- 40:49Speaker 6: the lanterns each lantern has a sector so they're responsible
- 40:53Speaker 6: for protecting that sector and earth is in the sector
- 40:56Speaker 6: that how jordan was assigned to so he's going.
- 41:00Speaker 4: To do whatever he's supposed to do to protect.
- 41:02Speaker 6: The inhabitants of earth regardless to what they are because
- 41:05Speaker 6: the guardians after a while if you keep getting the comics.
- 41:08Speaker 4: The guardians were just straight up little shits.
- 41:11Speaker 2: They are very much that in this show, all rip.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
- 41:16Speaker 4: So some things don't change.
- 41:17Speaker 6: They just don't give a fuck, okay?
- 41:21Speaker 1: They like to twist things into their own vision. And
- 41:28Speaker 1: this is, as in the comics, as in the comics
- 41:35Speaker 1: and in the show, we see why Sinestro does what
- 41:39Speaker 1: he does. Mm-hmm. Sinestro is running the yellow lantern corn
- 41:44Speaker 1: because he's consistently said, there she is. My second in command,
- 41:50Speaker 1: there she is. The S.
- 41:57Speaker 4: And the R just, yo, they just grew alive.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Stop that. We just got back.
- 42:04Speaker 1: I said we were going to come back in real form.
- 42:08Speaker 1: You didn't catch the commercial that I played at the beginning?
- 42:12Speaker 2: I would say we're going to hell, but clearly it's
- 42:13Speaker 2: on back order there.
- 42:14Speaker 4: Just like the comic on the bed says, any given smile.
- 42:19Speaker 5: It's also all full up.
- 42:22Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, y'all gotta handle this up. There's too
- 42:24Speaker 1: much going on down here. So, we see a lot
- 42:29Speaker 1: happening in episode three. Because we get John's backstory. Like,
- 42:36Speaker 1: his entire backstory. In three kind of circles back to
- 42:40Speaker 1: what we see in episode one. Because episode one opens
- 42:44Speaker 1: up with... Episode one opens up with John's father shooting
- 42:48Speaker 1: an apple off his head. Yo, let me tell you.
- 42:52Speaker 6: When I saw that mess on social media, somebody took
- 42:56Speaker 6: a clip of it.
- 42:56Speaker 4: I said, what the fuck is this?
- 42:59Speaker 1: Hey, Christy.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Hi, Anna.
- 43:00Speaker 4: Hi, Christy.
- 43:01Speaker 5: The hell?
- 43:02Speaker 1: Okay. Because that first episode gives you so much what
- 43:07Speaker 1: the hell is going on. It starts off with a
- 43:13Speaker 1: shit ton of questions. It does not hold back. And
- 43:18Speaker 1: even for those who are well-versed in the Green Lantern lore,
- 43:24Speaker 1: that shit goes out the window. They're keeping basic stuff,
- 43:27Speaker 1: but the rest of that goes right out the window.
- 43:29Speaker 1: And you're just like, what is going on right now?
- 43:32Speaker 1: But you're not mad about it.
- 43:34Speaker 5: It is very much James. James Gunn is the captain
- 43:37Speaker 5: and it is his ship now. He is the captain
- 43:39Speaker 5: of the ship.
- 43:42Speaker 1: You will listen.
- 43:42Speaker 5: You will follow his orders.
- 43:43Speaker 1: Look at me.
- 43:44Speaker 4: I am the captain now.
- 43:45Speaker 1: It is some good shit.
- 43:47Speaker 2: I mean, shout out to the sister and the other
- 43:50Speaker 2: brothers he has allowing to write on this because episode
- 43:53Speaker 2: three was and then last episode two. V.
- 43:57Speaker 4: Kelly, what it is.
- 43:58Speaker 2: Yes.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Shout out to V. Kelly. Vanessa Kelly, she is For
- 44:05Speaker 1: those who don't know, she was on Gullah Gullah Island
- 44:07Speaker 1: and she played Kenan's little sister on Kenan and Kel.
- 44:12Speaker 1: That's who she is!
- 44:14Speaker 2: Yeah!
- 44:16Speaker 6: They grow up so fast.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Don't they? The Gullah Gullah crew is all doing very
- 44:22Speaker 2: well for themselves.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Right. It's really good. That third episode, it kind of
- 44:31Speaker 1: wraps up in a nice bow, but then it But
- 44:34Speaker 1: here's some more GIFs. You gotta figure this shit out.
- 44:38Speaker 2: Once I saw it was titled A.T. Alien, I was
- 44:40Speaker 2: just like, hmm, I know that name.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Let's talk about that.
- 44:47Speaker 2: Shout out Mama Stewart holding down your man for better
- 44:51Speaker 2: or worse or alien at your door.
- 44:54Speaker 1: So episode three basically has John as a baby. He
- 45:00Speaker 1: has two older brothers, Marcus and Aaron. And while he's
- 45:06Speaker 1: in this crib, one of the kids hollers for their mom. Bernadette,
- 45:12Speaker 1: the mom, she goes in to go check it out.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Thank you, Chrissy. Tell them about it. Hit them likes.
- 45:17Speaker 5: Run it up.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Run them numbers up, please. She goes to check on
- 45:22Speaker 1: one of the brothers. While John is still sleeping, John Sr.,
- 45:29Speaker 1: you get a visual of John Jr. which is our
- 45:34Speaker 1: John Stewart and all you see is the haze of
- 45:39Speaker 1: green light and all you hear is are you afraid
- 45:44Speaker 1: and he said all you hear is are you afraid
- 45:47Speaker 1: and you hear his father screaming yes like he is
- 45:52Speaker 1: fearing for his life and then the green light just
- 45:56Speaker 1: disappears and from there it begins this contentious tense relationship
- 46:04Speaker 1: between him and his wife and his kids it's crazy
- 46:12Speaker 1: and anybody that will listen and every time he sees
- 46:17Speaker 1: Hal Jordan on the television he's shooting at the television.
- 46:24Speaker 5: Because well not any time but the one time because
- 46:28Speaker 5: Mama Bear came and said nigga, if you don't get
- 46:32Speaker 5: your whole fucking life together, I'm kicking your ass right
- 46:35Speaker 5: the fuck on out of this bitch.
- 46:36Speaker 1: She said, you better be gone. She says, you can't
- 46:41Speaker 1: get this shit done. He's like, how does she say it?
- 46:45Speaker 1: She says, give me the gun. Give me the gun, John.
- 46:47Speaker 1: She unloads the gun. She does her thing and then says,
- 46:53Speaker 1: if you do not get this shit together, I will
- 46:57Speaker 1: end you.
- 47:00Speaker 5: I will send you to meet your maker.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Yes. Bernadette Stewart is not to be trifled with. She
- 47:11Speaker 1: is a strong black woman. Take no shit. I love it.
- 47:19Speaker 5: Which also begs the question, why didn't the ring choose her?
- 47:26Speaker 2: So apparently... Makes you wonder. So when I listen to
- 47:30Speaker 2: it back, I think the ring just sought out soldiers.
- 47:34Speaker 2: Because apparently this only happened to a bunch of fellow
- 47:38Speaker 2: army and, like, servicemen. So when Ileana comes back and
- 47:41Speaker 2: is like, yeah, apparently we gave a bunch of people
- 47:43Speaker 2: PTSD that served in your wars.
- 47:46Speaker 5: Whoops.
- 47:46Speaker 2: Are bad about that. And it's just like, one, the
- 47:50Speaker 2: ring can talk. Two, also still clearly not the ring
- 47:54Speaker 2: that Hal is wearing. Because he got his off an asterisk. Like,
- 47:59Speaker 2: got a bit of an alley-oop and a mulligan there.
- 48:02Speaker 2: I'm still confused on the first episode how the Construct knew...
- 48:07Speaker 2: How the Construct even knew to alert him about Rushville. Like,
- 48:11Speaker 2: I don't know if the ring is just scanning the
- 48:13Speaker 2: planet at all times and can talk when it feels
- 48:15Speaker 2: like it. Right. Which got me because I realized that's
- 48:19Speaker 2: what he was doing in the recent episode of... But
- 48:23Speaker 2: I'm rewatching the first one. He's like, yeah, I have
- 48:24Speaker 2: to give myself a message. I'm like, oh, so you
- 48:26Speaker 2: can just pop up at will. It's not like turning
- 48:29Speaker 2: on and off.
- 48:30Speaker 4: But he wasn't the ring sentient in this show.
- 48:34Speaker 1: I think it's anything like if it's not so much
- 48:37Speaker 1: the ring, but I think the constructs are somewhat semi sentient. Yeah.
- 48:42Speaker 5: But wasn't wasn't the reason why he was giving that
- 48:45Speaker 5: message was because he trusted John. It wasn't because he
- 48:49Speaker 5: was just trying to give him that message, though, right?
- 48:52Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, he said, I have a message. So apparently
- 48:55Speaker 2: it's coincidental timing because he's like, you're wearing my ring.
- 48:57Speaker 2: What am I dead? He's like, well, I have a message.
- 48:59Speaker 2: There's hail in Rushville, which means go to Rushville now.
- 49:03Speaker 2: And it would feel weird that he he just randomly
- 49:06Speaker 2: comes out and says that and we happen to get
- 49:07Speaker 2: here when it shows up versus that was a timed
- 49:11Speaker 2: message because he got an update, which I'm still waiting for.
- 49:15Speaker 2: Some kind of explanation on that. John just happened to
- 49:17Speaker 2: wear the ring when he got a message meant for Hal.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it was timing. It was just by chance.
- 49:27Speaker 2: But also, if you're rated episode three low, we also
- 49:30Speaker 2: kind of know where you voted last election.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Fuck! One of their best episodes.
- 49:35Speaker 2: So yeah, not ATLA. The episode is called Outcast. Same
- 49:38Speaker 2: spelling and everything. And I was just like, hmm. Yeah,
- 49:40Speaker 2: no kidding. I was like, green lights, green show. This
- 49:44Speaker 2: is definitely going to be an ATLA episode. And sure enough.
- 49:47Speaker 2: And then they start doing all. So the lanterns are like, oh,
- 49:51Speaker 2: we can make your son a lantern. You just got
- 49:52Speaker 2: to train him to be fearless. And I'm glad his
- 49:56Speaker 2: mom was officially back on her dad's side.
- 49:58Speaker 1: And she was like, hey.
- 49:59Speaker 2: You don't know anything about us. First off, you show
- 50:02Speaker 2: up at my house late at night dressed up. Because
- 50:05Speaker 2: she seemed more bothered by the white woman cosplay than
- 50:08Speaker 2: she did by the alien appearance. She's like, you dress
- 50:10Speaker 2: up as this white lady. You lecture us. You show
- 50:13Speaker 2: up and grab people in the middle of the night
- 50:15Speaker 2: talking about are they afraid from a talking ring. Like,
- 50:17Speaker 2: what did you expect was going to happen? And then,
- 50:21Speaker 2: my bad, here's this shiny rock your people value. Which
- 50:24Speaker 2: we then find out they called the cops on her
- 50:26Speaker 2: because of it.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Yeah, big ass diamonds. Once again, showing that the Guardians
- 50:35Speaker 1: really do not have any idea how not just humanity works,
- 50:42Speaker 1: but any different race of aliens that they encounter.
- 50:48Speaker 2: Which I'm so curious to see how the Guardians react.
- 50:51Speaker 2: If any of this crosses over to Mars, where they
- 50:53Speaker 2: have red, white, and green and yellow racism.
- 50:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 51:00Speaker 1: And even Bernadette says it. She's like, even in space,
- 51:05Speaker 1: we are an afterthought. She's talking about black people. It
- 51:09Speaker 1: was just the way, that conversation that is taking place
- 51:15Speaker 1: with Leanna is just kind of like, you don't know
- 51:19Speaker 1: what we deal with. You don't know how this works
- 51:24Speaker 1: down here. You just pick people at random and It's okay. Oh,
- 51:31Speaker 1: you're muted.
- 51:32Speaker 2: You're muted. Kira, Kira, Kira, Kira.
- 51:37Speaker 5: Which is wild because on a planetary basis, we are
- 51:43Speaker 5: not the minority.
- 51:45Speaker 1: No.
- 51:46Speaker 5: So, explain it, please.
- 51:50Speaker 1: And that's the question. And that's the question. I'm like,
- 51:53Speaker 1: When you sit back and you think, and he was like, okay,
- 51:55Speaker 1: we just picked these rings, and then like, okay, and
- 51:58Speaker 1: you don't know what this man dealt with because he's
- 52:00Speaker 1: a Marine. You don't know what he's seen, what he's
- 52:03Speaker 1: dealt with. So, yes, when this man is asleep, and
- 52:07Speaker 1: then all of a sudden this glowing thing and this
- 52:11Speaker 1: unearthly voice is saying, are you afraid?
- 52:14Speaker 2: I heard it. I heard it. Does Mario have input.
- 52:18Speaker 4: For the show? I literally heard him just now.
- 52:22Speaker 1: I was like, bitch, what?
- 52:24Speaker 2: What is your problem?
- 52:26Speaker 5: Anyway, sorry.
- 52:27Speaker 2: He said, I will be heard and I have rights.
- 52:30Speaker 5: You have the right to remain fucking silent, Negro. Good God.
- 52:36Speaker 5: Either come here or sit down.
- 52:39Speaker 2: Yes, this is a black show, people. I have never
- 52:41Speaker 2: heard him at all.
- 52:42Speaker 4: That's the first time I've ever heard him in the
- 52:44Speaker 4: whole time.
- 52:44Speaker 2: This is a black show, people. We talk to our
- 52:46Speaker 2: pets like they're family.
- 52:48Speaker 1: Hey, look, mine was just down here.
- 52:49Speaker 2: I said, you can get out of here. If you
- 52:52Speaker 2: go to April of last year, you can watch a
- 52:54Speaker 2: kitten grow up in my arms.
- 52:57Speaker 1: That is true. It's definitely... It's so much to unpack
- 53:02Speaker 1: from episode three because it deals with... It's race relations
- 53:06Speaker 1: in so many ways because Liana is like, yeah, we
- 53:09Speaker 1: just picked these aliens or the rings picked these whomever.
- 53:14Speaker 1: And we realized we never took this into consideration. That
- 53:19Speaker 1: humanity and humans themselves, because this will be the first
- 53:22Speaker 1: Green Lantern, we didn't know that you would react this way.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Did you not do your research? Like, about if you
- 53:30Speaker 1: knew we're on the sector, you know what we're... You're
- 53:33Speaker 1: not paying attention to anything?
- 53:36Speaker 2: I'm also curious... But also, you.
- 53:39Speaker 5: Just came from a.
- 53:40Speaker 2: Well.
- 53:41Speaker 5: whoever you just came the what is it the manager
- 53:44Speaker 5: just came from a planet planet full of racism qual did.
- 53:50Speaker 2: You did you think it was different wait wait okay
- 53:53Speaker 2: who came from which planet.
- 53:55Speaker 5: From the the manhunter planet where they basically made everybody
- 53:58Speaker 5: kind of turn on each other there was still racism
- 54:01Speaker 5: there wasn't there yeah yeah i.
- 54:04Speaker 2: Mean wasn't that oa.
- 54:07Speaker 1: No.
- 54:08Speaker 2: Are you talking about the planet we just went to recently?
- 54:12Speaker 5: In episode 7.
- 54:14Speaker 2: I don't know if there was racism. I know that Mrs.
- 54:20Speaker 2: or Manhunter person went in there and made everyone skydive
- 54:23Speaker 2: off the sector 7 plate from Final Fantasy.
- 54:26Speaker 1: So basically the Manhunters were created. They were the precursor
- 54:34Speaker 1: to the Lantern. And they were created to bring justice
- 54:38Speaker 1: and blah, blah, blah, and all that other great stuff.
- 54:41Speaker 1: Problem is, they're AI. It's AI. At the end of
- 54:45Speaker 1: the day, it's AI. Manhunters are AI. And what happens
- 54:48Speaker 1: when you allow AI to run rampant? You get Terminators.
- 54:53Speaker 2: Ultron was on the internet for five minutes and said, yep,
- 54:57Speaker 2: all of this has to go. That could also be
- 55:03Speaker 2: why Zoe axed their entire planet. She maybe saw some
- 55:06Speaker 2: things there she didn't like or from their society and
- 55:08Speaker 2: was like, you know what? Just gas everybody.
- 55:11Speaker 1: Yeah. This isn't working.
- 55:15Speaker 2: But yeah, they tell the mom, oops, our bad. Your
- 55:19Speaker 2: kid can be a lantern if you raise him to
- 55:20Speaker 2: be fearless. So let's drop John off at the other
- 55:23Speaker 2: end of his own neighborhood.
- 55:25Speaker 1: Like, like, It looked like it was outside the base.
- 55:30Speaker 1: This is the 90s.
- 55:31Speaker 2: Gangsters and killers don't bother kids.
- 55:34Speaker 5: You're not supposed to be out here at this time
- 55:38Speaker 5: of night. You're not gangbanging with nobody.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Take your ass inside.
- 55:43Speaker 1: Why you out here, little man?
- 55:44Speaker 2: Why you out here? The video I sent y'all today
- 55:48Speaker 2: from my old neighborhood in that old ass house, those
- 55:51Speaker 2: are the things that was said to me if I
- 55:53Speaker 2: was out too late. Nigga, go home. You got school
- 55:55Speaker 2: in the morning. Nigga, go home. Fuck you doing out here. Nigga,
- 55:58Speaker 2: I know you. I know your mama. I know your grandma.
- 56:01Speaker 1: We might be out here doing some dirt, but you
- 56:04Speaker 1: ain't got no business being out here.
- 56:07Speaker 5: Matter of fact, hold on.
- 56:08Speaker 4: Yeah, yo, Ro.
- 56:11Speaker 5: Take this little motherfucker home.
- 56:13Speaker 2: Even criminals had decorum. If you robbed the wrong person,
- 56:18Speaker 2: you gave it back.
- 56:20Speaker 4: I can just see it now.
- 56:22Speaker 2: This yours? No. That happened.
- 56:26Speaker 5: Miss Robinson, I know you a hoe, but let's keep
- 56:28Speaker 5: your son inside.
- 56:32Speaker 1: That was the look. Some of these guys that he
- 56:34Speaker 1: walked by, that was the look. Who is this little dude? Apparently... Did.
- 56:37Speaker 2: They just drop him off?
- 56:44Speaker 5: There apparently was supposed to be like a montage scene
- 56:49Speaker 5: of him going through the neighborhood, but they had to
- 56:51Speaker 5: cut it for time because there is a point where
- 56:52Speaker 5: there's a cookout going on in the neighborhood or wherever
- 56:59Speaker 5: he's walking through. And they're all like, you good? You
- 57:03Speaker 5: know which way you're going? And they're like, you need
- 57:05Speaker 5: to keep going that way. Go around the corner and whatever.
- 57:08Speaker 5: And they end up sending him. about his money.
- 57:10Speaker 1: Oh, I would have loved to see that. I would
- 57:12Speaker 1: have loved to see that.
- 57:13Speaker 2: You need to play, little man? Get him a hot dog.
- 57:17Speaker 2: Get him a hot dog. What's your name?
- 57:21Speaker 1: He would be like, why am I scared? I'm in
- 57:23Speaker 1: the hood. I'm kind of at home.
- 57:26Speaker 2: Are you going that way? Get him a hot dog
- 57:27Speaker 2: and a check soda for the road.
- 57:30Speaker 1: Here.
- 57:30Speaker 5: Where's the Shasta?
- 57:33Speaker 4: Is that a Faygo?
- 57:34Speaker 1: You want a cheeseburger?
- 57:35Speaker 2: No, I don't like cheeseburgers. It's Faygo or Czech soda
- 57:39Speaker 2: if you got a Windex in your hand. You don't
- 57:42Speaker 2: like Czech? Or Faygo?
- 57:43Speaker 5: I don't know none of them. I know Coke.
- 57:46Speaker 2: Oh, so check is the cheap, black, technically no-name soda
- 57:51Speaker 2: at Winn-Dixie, and you can get, like, a 12-pack for, like,
- 57:53Speaker 2: two bucks. If you're having a house party, like a
- 57:56Speaker 2: regular parent, not trying to go to Disney like people here, hey,
- 57:58Speaker 2: I'm going to get four 12-packs of Czech soda at
- 58:01Speaker 2: a cooler at a bounce house and call it a day,
- 58:03Speaker 2: and it'll feed the entire household.
- 58:05Speaker 5: We had the, what is it, the beer warehouse or
- 58:08Speaker 5: whatever type deal? You get 84 cans for, like, $ 3. 00.
- 58:14Speaker 1: Dark Elite says no RC Cola.
- 58:18Speaker 2: So Chex Soda is what RC and Mellow Yellow want
- 58:23Speaker 2: to be. They are the actual substitutes. Okay, Bam, it
- 58:27Speaker 2: might be a Southern thing.
- 58:29Speaker 5: Bam eats well-done steaks. I don't trust.
- 58:35Speaker 1: No.
- 58:35Speaker 2: Look, either way.
- 58:37Speaker 1: Thank you, Doc. Yeah, Fagov, you know. Yeah, I'm Fagov.
- 58:41Speaker 1: I'm like, I won't turn down a good Faygo.
- 58:43Speaker 2: Faygo is what you get when you can't find Fanta.
- 58:48Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Stop it. It's sweet as hell,
- 58:51Speaker 1: but it's worth it. They're both good.
- 58:54Speaker 5: I didn't say. I ain't had it. I'm just a question.
- 58:58Speaker 1: No, no.
- 58:58Speaker 2: Check is just one of them. It's like Sprite. It's
- 59:01Speaker 2: one of them sodas. It's not exactly a black soda,
- 59:03Speaker 2: but it became a black soda. Mr.
- 59:05Speaker 4: Pibb was fancy and nasty.
- 59:08Speaker 1: They definitely... put Lil Jon through it, boy.
- 59:14Speaker 2: Big Jon is a vegetarian because every test came with
- 59:17Speaker 2: a hamburger.
- 59:18Speaker 1: Yeah. That's what it was. Every time he got an
- 59:22Speaker 1: apple shot off his head, if you pay attention to
- 59:24Speaker 1: the garage in the first episode, you see bullet holes
- 59:29Speaker 1: going up so you're just like wait hold on what
- 59:33Speaker 1: is going on but in episode 3 you understand like
- 59:37Speaker 1: oh they've been training this kid since like 5 to
- 59:42Speaker 1: just kind of get him grown now people are probably
- 59:45Speaker 1: asking why not the two older brothers they know what
- 59:48Speaker 1: fear is they've been around some things I don't know
- 59:54Speaker 1: what their ages yeah I don't know what their ages
- 59:57Speaker 1: are but They're older. They're old enough to know what
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: fear is.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: Too old to be rapping.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: Yeah. So they know what that looks like. John hasn't
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: been exposed to that yet. He hasn't been exposed to
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: the black belt and all that. He ain't had that
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: fear yet. They've just been building him up. Easter egg.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: You get to see John Stewart's suit in that episode
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: as well that was one of his gifts you get
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: to see the suit that he wears like in Justice
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: League Unlimited which was a nice little easter egg but
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: his gift was that shirt or suit and a rifle
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: at his 5th year birthday and Aaron Aaron is like
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: man y'all always treat him better we'll know about Aaron
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: much later and he's not rapping Oh, wow.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: Episode 3 was great, but basically showing us why John
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: grew up the way he did and that he is
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: technically a human without fear. Like, they wouldn't send him
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: to the Marine Corps and everything.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: He is a person who has still resolved an unshakable
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: will at this point. Because, is it episode 4 when
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: Hal gives him the ring to teach him to fly?
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: Or is that still three?
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: I think it's three. It's two where he gives him
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: the ring and the bird comes out.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Let's backtrack it.
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: And then the bird never goes away.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Episode two, John goes through more shit. Because Hal gives
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: him the ring. He says, now fly. So he tries
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: to fly, but he produces a bird. And he's like,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: what the hell? And he's like, give me back my ring.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: He gives him back the ring. The bird does not
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: go away. Normally when you create a construct, the minute
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: you take, either you can make the construct go away
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: on its own or when you have the ring removed,
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: the construct goes away. When he gave the ring back
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: to Hal, that bird didn't go away. It didn't dissipate.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: It didn't move.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: It didn't.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: It flew around. It was sentient of everything. And mind you,
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: John went through a lot in that episode. He got
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: into a whole fist fight. He got knocked out. He
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: got interrogated. And this bird was still flying around.
- 1:02:43Speaker 5: I'm still sus on that whole thing. Aino, you can't
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: be conscious when you're knocked the fuck out. I still
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: feel like there's something else that made that bird.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: Something happened to Seven that kind of backs up what's
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: going on.
- 1:03:02Speaker 5: I know, but it's still weird. But it's still the
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: same question that I have. I still feel like there's
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: somebody else at play making that happen. Because we've seen
- 1:03:14Speaker 5: him do all of these wild constructs. He made a
- 1:03:17Speaker 5: tunneling fucking machine, like down to the minute details of it.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: Well, he's also an art student. He's also an art student,
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: so that's part of what's playing into his construct.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: That's kind of like his thing.
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: But that doesn't make you a biology major. That's not
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: a bird.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: But that's all he was drawing. His birds were his thing,
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: and that was because of his parents. His parents would
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: always say, The Guardians are watching, and he's like, well,
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: how do they always watch? It's like, the little birds
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: tell them. So he's just been having to think for birds.
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: That doesn't mean you know the inner workings of how
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: to make the motherfucker tweet, chirp, and fart.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: I mean, why wouldn't we? I mean, it may not
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: be integral to the whole makeup of it, but I mean.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Construct... I'm pretty sure Construct Hal is
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: just hollow. Like, I don't think he's... I think it's
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: just the Construct. I don't think they're fully constructed, like,
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: innards and all. Like, even with the drill.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: I think he also did a little engineering because he
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: drew the individual gears and how they would work and shift.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: I think with him, if he can think it, he
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: can draw it. If he can draw it, he can
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: construct it.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: He's quick with the pen. Pen or charcoal or pencil.
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: He's quick with it.
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: I still feel like there's something else at play there.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: I have a theory that if it ties into anything
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: dealing with later issues in the comics where he does
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: not need a ring.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: It's something about his will, his body is the will,
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: his heart is the ring or something like that. It's
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: something about him not needing a ring. to construct anything.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if they're trying to tie in. I
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: think that's the Emerald Knight.
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: Well, the body is the ring.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: Something like that, yeah.
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: He's the vessel for the power. But his heart is
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: the battery.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: I was going to say, where's the battery? Because you
- 1:05:24Speaker 5: still need the battery.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: If that's the case. He's kind of a... He's like
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: a living lantern.
- 1:05:31Speaker 6: I can't remember the name of the storyline, but there
- 1:05:34Speaker 6: was later where John did not have the ring, but
- 1:05:36Speaker 6: he was still a lantern.
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: He was still making things happen.
- 1:05:41Speaker 6: And, you know, he was bringing people together and other
- 1:05:45Speaker 6: lanterns where their ring, all their rings had died, but
- 1:05:47Speaker 6: he was still like, I'm still a lantern. We're still
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: going to do this. And it was actually a really
- 1:05:52Speaker 6: captivating story. Not a single lantern had a ring, but
- 1:05:55Speaker 6: they were still lanterns.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: All right, EB. All right, EB, come through.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: Fine.
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: EB said that being in art school, they make you
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: take anatomy and physiology at some schools for APS. He
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: studied the inner workings of birds on his own. Okay,
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: all right, then I'll... No, it's true.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: He does go to art school.
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: He's naturally gifted, though.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: He's naturally gifted with it. But see, it's that same
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: episode where you find out why he's going to art school.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: And you're just like, oh, fuck. Because he was sent
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: on a mission to get some kind of dignitary.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: Yeah, why did we have to wait?
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: He was trying to wait for a good kill shot
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: because they didn't, in all sense and purposes, they didn't
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: want to do the line.
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: But he waited like three months for it though? That's
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: the only part of that episode.
- 1:06:54Speaker 5: They didn't know when he was going to show up.
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: So they told him, you got to sit and camp
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: your ass out there until he shows up.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: He's so used to doing stuff.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: I thought he was surveilling the house like daily and
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: just like, nope, not today. I'm like, duh. Yeah.
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: I mean, no, he was. He was in.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: I thought he was like legit. The guy was in
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: and out the house every day. And I'm like, oh, no. Yeah,
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: that was the part I missed. I was like, oh,
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: so Hal managed to get the guy the one day
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: he was home.
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: All of the strength that he was in a damn
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: titty bar getting drunk. And it was two government officials
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: in there spouting off at the mouth drunk. And they
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: told him, and Hal is not supposed to be doing
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: this type of stuff. And so he just said, I'll
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: just fly over there, grab his ass, and then bring him,
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: you know. He did it on a whim. It just,
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: the same day that John had the shot is the
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: same day Hal decided to show up. It was just coincidence. Because,
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: like Kira said, They didn't know when this guy was
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: going to be at that house. He, they just never,
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: they could not get a bead on him. They knew
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: that was his house, but they never knew when he
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: was always there or when he was gone. He was
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: always somewhere. So, John had to wait. He was like,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: I got to wait, and I got to wait until
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: I see this guy. And then when he did see him, like,
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: I think it was the first time, he couldn't get
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: the shot because it was too, his guards, he had
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: too many guards around him. Mm-hmm. So he had to wait.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: And when he finally had that shot, and he had
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: that shot, here come Hal.
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: But why did he blow up the house?
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: Who blew up the house?
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: I think Hal did. Hal blew up the house. But
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: for what? Because drunk and why not? Let's go just
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: light up. Let's light up. I was around naked women.
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: Hal's a jerk.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: I was around happily naked women. Let's go.
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: I was around half naked, fully naked women five minutes ago.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Let's get this over with. Knock all this shit over.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: And I think the explosion is why somebody had to
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: take the fall, because this was supposed to be a
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: stealth mission, and you blew up all the cocaine we
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: were planning to repurpose.
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: He went too far. He just did.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: And that was the thing. Hal just does shit. And
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: this was... And this is still several years... a couple
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: of years prior, maybe not too many years, but just
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: a couple of years prior to John getting trained by him.
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: So already this ring has somehow been in the vicinity
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: of John's lineage through his father, his father getting scared
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: of the ring. And it goes to who, how drove
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: his almost broke up his family. Then He gets older,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: now he's got to get trained from the time he's
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: five years old all the way up to adulthood. Why?
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: Because he's got to be trained to be fearless. Why?
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Because his father didn't take the ring.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: Why?
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: Because he was scared out of his goddamn sleep by
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: something he's never seen before. And who ends up getting
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: the ring? Hal, he's like, that's supposed to be mine.
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: You know, that was supposed to be mine. And Hal
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: was just saying... I got the ring because I'm fearless.
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: No. No. Not with Ivan Seward's story still being tied
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: to his origins, which if y'all were going to come
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: get me, you could have been came and got me.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: Why y'all wait until I was in art school to
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: put me through the Wile E. Coyote portal?
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: You couldn't wait to get down a little bit.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: No, because once I saw them literally lift it up,
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: and I'm just like, this is literally Coyote vs. Acme,
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: where it's like, here, take this bucket of black paint,
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: and it's like, do what? And he literally paints a wall,
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: and it's just like... Big hole. Once I was like, oh,
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: you can literally just slap this in air, and like, alright,
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: let's go through. But between them testing him at school,
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: the ring that showed up on Earth, and apparently chose
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: no one, and then... What is it the ring that
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: guy probably has the ring guy has and then the
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: ring that how has there's been four in the vicinity
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: of Earth if Y'all can just let John get a spare.
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: House ring shows up And John why he's sleeping when
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: John when John Genie was a baby the brain shows
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: up then right now.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: That's one and No, so there's the ring that came
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: and didn't pick anybody. There's the ring that Hal got
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: off of Abin Sur, which is more than likely why
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: we're so stuck on Rushville. Pause.
- 1:11:40Speaker 5: What ring that didn't pick anybody?
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: Because the ring didn't choose anyone. They just left.
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: No, that ring chose Hal.
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: Didn't Hal get his ring from Abin Sur?
- 1:11:51Speaker 5: No, that ring was the one that was floating around.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the same ring. But that's crazy because.
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: Because the whole thing about Abin Sur's story is that
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: he crashed Lanzar.
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: Did he see that ship crash? That's the question.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: Who, Hal? Yeah. That's always the story. No. That's always
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: the story. That's why we're in Rushville.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: No, because Abin Sur... Go ahead, go ahead.
- 1:12:18Speaker 5: The ring took him to Abin Sur once he said
- 1:12:22Speaker 5: he wasn't afraid.
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: That's what happened.
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: Okay, so we've had three then. Okay. Usually he finds
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: the ship and Abin starts like, hey, I'm bleeding out.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: Take this.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: By comic standards, that's generally how it works. It works
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: that way. But yeah, you're right. Lady Mandalore's right. That's
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: how it went down. The ring says, are you afraid?
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: They say yes or no. And then it snatches Hal up,
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: brings him to the ship. I'm in serious shit okay
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: that's right.
- 1:12:54Speaker 5: And basically tells him either good luck or fuck you
- 1:12:56Speaker 5: or fuck.
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: Cause we don't know what happened after he got it
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: we don't know if it's one of them things where
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: like did he go to Oa right away did somebody come.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: That's my thing like we don't we still haven't seen
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: how he actually got it and obtained it and I'm
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: curious if cause usually instead of flying back to Oa
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: the ring pick he gives it to him and ends
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: up taking him back there anyway since he inherited it
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: um And now we've seen they've tried to set Jon
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: up the same way. Like, hey, just put it on
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: and then say the oath. And I feel like that's
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: going to end up happening eventually. Because usually that is
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: like the transfer ritual. But I'm just like, yeah, y'all
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: have had multiple rings on Earth. Why don't y'all just
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: throw the man a spare? Like, what are we being
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: weird about this for? And then you find out the
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: bosses are up to some very strange shit.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: The Guardians are always up to it. With the exception
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: of Gamfid. He's the only one that seems to have
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: some remotely ideal, like, yeah, not everything we do is
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: supposed to be that way.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: And then they sent that man to, they sent Hal
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: to John's house after all of that and called him
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: Junior 50 times in front of his parents.
- 1:14:04Speaker 6: Even in the comics, Ganthet was the one guardian who
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: seemed to have a level of common sense and understanding
- 1:14:11Speaker 6: and wasn't trying to be so.
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: Overpowering, overbearing.
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:14:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: And I think that was the, and they haven't even
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: introduced Gantham on here. They went to Lyanna first. So
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: we may just, who knows? We don't know which guardian
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: is supposed to be dead because he, because John, I
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: don't know how he finds out, but he says when
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: he first meets Lyanna after passing the test, when he's
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: like going to art school, because his mom was saying, look,
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: You need to get the hell up on my house.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: Use up all my air, all my electricity. You sitting
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: around here doing nothing. Like, here, you need to go
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: to here. Here's this art school. Go check it out.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: So he goes. He checks the school out. Gets us
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: signed up and everything. He goes in there, and he
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: meets this guy. This guy says, hey, draw the building
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: that we're in. He draws the building. No problem. He says, okay.
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: He says, uh... draw something that has some meaning to you,
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: like a watch or your father's watch or something. And
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: then right when he's getting ready to draw, this man
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: holds out his hand, has the ring in his hand,
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: and he puts the ring on and creates his father's watch.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: He's like, you've passed the test. And he pulls out
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: the Acme hole, the Acme orb, and says, just jump in.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: And he does, lands on a batch of dirty mattresses,
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: And this is where he meets Liana. And right when
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: he's getting ready to walk in, somebody's walking out. It's
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: not Guy. It's not Guy. That person is walking past.
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: It's a man. But that guy is walking so fast,
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: you can't see his face good enough to see if
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: it's anyone. If it's supposed to be anybody like Cal
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: Rainier or somebody like that, it's not Guy. We know that.
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: But Liana says... oh, you must be Jon Stewart, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: Have a seat. I'll be right back.
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: Unless it's Kilowog, I don't care.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: Right. That's all waiting to show up.
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: I want to see Kilowog.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: She says, have a seat. I'll be right back. This
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: brother sat there all night long. He didn't move. He
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: didn't budge. She came back the next day in a
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: whole new outfit and said, You're still here. He's like,
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: you said not to move. And you did that. He
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: didn't leave. But see, for Liana, that's what she wants.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: She wants someone who's going to say, who's going to
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: give an order and the person is going to follow
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: that order to a T. So everything John has been
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: doing all his life has been a test. has been
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: a test he's been learning to follow direction learning to
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: follow he's been going he's joined the marines because he
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: said that's the path you know he's been taught up
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: to be shown no fear he's patient his will is
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: still like still not moved and he can do the
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: job which is why he was at the rank he
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: was in the marines like that's why he was picked
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: for the job to take out this dignitary They knew
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: he could do it, but Hal fucked that up. So
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: that's where she tells him that you will be trained
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: by Hal Jordan. You will be his replacement. And when
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: the time comes, you will take the ring. He's just thinking, oh, okay,
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: so he might be getting ready to retire. He's going
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: to train me. Whatever, whatever. He gets home to tell
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: his parents the good news. Who's there running they mouth?
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: Hal Jordan.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: And he's talking to them. And he's telling them all
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: this great stuff. Getting to know the parents and stuff.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: And he's like, is this Junior? And he says, we
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: just call him John. He's like, well, how you doing, Junior?
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, the disrespect. This man just said they
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: call me John. Like, they don't call... So, he keeps
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: calling him Junior. That's number one. And then he looks
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: at the parents. He says, you guys are... good people
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: you're salt of the earth he's like sort of like
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: the like sort of like Midwest Huxtables. Mind you, up
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: until this point, Hal is giving racist, not so racist tendencies.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: But it's just kind of like, because even when.
- 1:19:06Speaker 5: The word you're looking for is bigot.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: It's like he's not realizing.
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: That french for asshole yeah yeah.
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: You know like what i'm like because i'm like it's
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: the huxtables who didn't like the cosby show he was
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: like you don't know whether to look at that as
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: a compliment or or this you know like Is it
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: because it's the person who's delivering the message? Is that it?
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: I don't want any white man calling me the Huxables.
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: It feels off. It feels disingenuous. It feels not right.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: But if it was somebody black saying it, he's like, yeah,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: you like the midway stuff. It's the person that's doing
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: the delivery. And And so they get outside and he's,
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: he's like, I'm happy to see you. I'm happy to
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: meet you. Glad to meet you. Blah, blah, blah. And
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: then he was like, and he turns around on a dime,
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: looks at John and says, look, I know you're my replacement.
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: The only way you're getting this fucking ring is off
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: my dead hand, dead hands. He was like, oh, and
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: by the way, be ready. I'll pick you up on
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: Monday morning. Just start your training. He complete, complete turn.
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: But if you look, when he says that, and he's
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: getting ready to fly off, he has a look like,
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: I really didn't want to say that to that kid.
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: I didn't want to call him out like that. I
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: didn't want to come down on him like that. I'm
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: pissed about what the Guardians are doing, and it's not
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: his fault. And you start noticing how Hal is later
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: throughout the show. that, like, he really didn't want to
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: act that way. Not with John. He didn't want to
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: act that way.
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: Yeah, because we haven't seen how the Guardians have been
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: talking to him about any of this. Like, it's always Ileana,
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: and Ileana is, because, I mean, that's how the episode ends.
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: And then Ileana becomes the most gaslighting, like, mofo on
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: the Guardians. And I'm like, I see why one of
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: y'all are dead. It's, it's, I see, I see why, like,
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: Potentially one sinistral turn on y'all. I'm starting to understand.
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: But see, that's another thing, because Hal, when they kind
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: of flash forward to what's going on in Rushfield, and
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: you start to notice why Hal does what he does
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: and why John is doing what he's doing. John is
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: playing every... They're both doing the same thing. They're playing
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: things close to the chest. But they're not talking to
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: each other about a lot of shit, because... John can't
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: trust anybody because of like all the shit he's had
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: to do. He's like, he's talking to Liana and they're like, Hey,
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: his parents is calling him and say, Hey, did you
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: get the ring yet? Did you take the ring yet?
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Did you take the ring yet? And they're like, look,
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: we're in the middle of some kind of murder mystery
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: right now. No, I didn't take the ring. I didn't have,
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to like, they're like, well,
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: you're taking too long. So like they have their agenda.
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: The guardian is saying, you know, stuff like, well, Hal
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: Jordan has, you know, she started playing in John's ear. Oh, well,
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: Hal Jordan reported to us and says, like, you're not creative.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: So now they're trying to play the two against each
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: other so he can take the damn ring. And so
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: it's so much going on that John is like, I
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: can't trust none of y'all because I don't know what
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: the fuck is going on.
- 1:22:50Speaker 5: Because, hi.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: Hi.
- 1:22:52Speaker 5: Because nobody.
- 1:22:54Speaker 5: John, they're using John as a tool.
- 1:22:58Speaker 4: As an inanimate object.
- 1:22:59Speaker 5: They're using him like he is the ring. Which ties
- 1:23:02Speaker 5: back into him being able to construct things all in
- 1:23:04Speaker 5: his mind. Also, yo, Ileana, fuck you though. On some
- 1:23:10Speaker 5: real shit. You popped up out of nowhere. You gave
- 1:23:15Speaker 5: these people all of these fucking deals. Or terms to meet.
- 1:23:21Speaker 5: Terms have been met. And then you change the terms
- 1:23:24Speaker 5: when he gets a little bit closer to the ring.
- 1:23:26Speaker 5: Now he got to murk a motherfucker in order to
- 1:23:28Speaker 5: get the goddamn ring? That's weird, ho. That's weird.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: That's weird. Why don't you just give me another ring?
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: Y'all have had multiple on this planet. And then the
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: whole thing of they won't just give him the ring.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: They specifically want him to snake the ring from Hal.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: So she's like, yeah, if you put the ring on
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: and say the oath, it'll get ownership transfers to you.
- 1:23:54Speaker 4: Here's the thing.
- 1:23:55Speaker 5: It's not a they. It keeps being Ileana.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: It's nobody else. I've seen no other. I think it's Ileana.
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: I don't see.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: You're right, Lady Mandalore. I'm not seeing any other guardian.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: And when she vanishes, there's a faint look that I'm like, Yeah,
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: that Guardians, the back of their gear don't.
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: Look like that.
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: Why your back look like that, hoe? We've also told
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: you about appearing to us, talking down to us as
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: this white woman, and you keep doing it. There's also that,
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the gaslighting, like, oh,
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: I didn't know you were weak like your dad. I'm like,
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: excuse you, man. Did you not have a whole conversation
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: with my mother about this? Who?
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: The absolute gaslighting that's going on in this show. Somebody's
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: gaslighting somebody. Because we get to meet Zoe. Some South
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: Asian woman who is taking a liking to Hal, who
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: he sleeps with, or to John, and she sleeps with
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: on the first night. In the truck.
- 1:25:01Speaker 4: Get it while you can, baby. We saw what he
- 1:25:02Speaker 4: was working with in episode six.
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: But you didn't.
- 1:25:05Speaker 5: God bless.
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: But you didn't.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: God bless.
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: DC gave you some censorship. Calm down.
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: If you say so.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: If you say so. And only to find out later
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: in that episode, John, they go to, they're doing their investigation,
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: they go to a ranch, and the guy who's running
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: the ranch, his name is Macon, very elitist type of,
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for?
- 1:25:39Speaker 5: Supremacy-esque type of... Yes.
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: Vibes.
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: Yeah, just, you know, every hick boy got a gun.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: A gun that they shouldn't have. And when I mean
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: a gun they shouldn't have, I mean these high-tech guns.
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: It's a lot of stuff going on. They don't see
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: the guns right away. They just see regular guns. Very militant. Militia.
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: He thinks the brown wife will throw everyone off his trail.
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: Yeah, so... They go to investigate with Macon. They're talking.
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: They don't really get anywhere until right when they're leaving,
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: Macon says, yeah, it's nothing. He looks at John and says,
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: it's nothing like eating meat off another man's grill.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: He's eating off another man's plate.
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: Why would you say.
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: That?
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: Hal is looking like, what the fuck is going on?
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: And that's when they get in the car and he's like, yeah,
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: I slept with his wife. When? We just got here.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: He's like, no, I slept with her last night. The
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: woman I met at the bar, he was like, what
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: the fuck, Junior?
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: But also, I'm impressed.
- 1:26:56Speaker 4: Here it comes, ladies and gentlemen. Here it comes.
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: You're not such a boy scout after all. Right.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: So then you start finding out that Zoe.
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: Has some other ulterior motives. And Hal, while John is
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: dealing with Zoe, or not trying to deal with Zoe,
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: Hal is doing some of his own separate investigation. He's
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: taking these bodies from the morgue, and he's passing them
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: through the football field. There's metal detectors, but he finds
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: out there are not metal detectors. They're alien detectors.
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: Are you serious?
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: Yes. It was like, what, five bodies?
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: It was like five bodies that got shot because this
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: town is now built on top of where Abin Sor crashed.
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: So John has been scoping, or Hal has been scoping
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: this place out forever because nothing about it makes sense. Like,
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: I watched an alien who might have been carrying something.
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: It's still waiting on the other Super Brothers dudes. I mean,
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: Clark and Lois went and dipped off somewhere for their interview.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: It's But, yeah, Hal has been scoping out this city for, like,
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: years now because it's where Abensor crashed. And he clearly
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: was murdered, but he still hasn't found what killed him.
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: And he's trying to keep the ship, its location secret.
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's got, we go to the town. John
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: has slept with this man's wife. His wife keeps popping
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: up on places. Um, they go to the ranch, they
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: call bullshit, they sneak into his little underground clan bunker.
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: That's a word.
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: That's what it's giving until you find out they, they.
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: serve a different master. What is it? Then we get
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: hit with, what, smoke tech that throws off lanterns, apparently? Yeah.
- 1:28:49Speaker 5: It's pretty much the same fear toxin as on the.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: Planet.
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: No, that just obscures the vision and I think the light,
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: I think it's like concentrated darkness, like the green light.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: Can't... Yeah, because I keep thinking of the black hand.
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: That's what I keep thinking of. So.
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: But, I mean, clearly the Manhunters have multiple ways of
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: dispatching people, so I think... But the little... The dark
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: matter guns, I think, are anti-lantern specific.
- 1:29:20Speaker 5: So here's the reason why that's... It's part of the
- 1:29:22Speaker 5: fear toxin.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: Or whatever.
- 1:29:25Speaker 5: I'm going to call it fear toxin.
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: Zoe.
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: I wonder if we'll actually see that in this next episode.
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: Zoe brought technology that's from that other planet. And I
- 1:29:40Speaker 5: think that the same fear gas or whatever they used
- 1:29:45Speaker 5: in order to create that is what they brought down there.
- 1:29:47Speaker 5: So I think the yellow tools.
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 1:29:51Speaker 5: I think the yellow guns.
- 1:29:55Speaker 5: Are the thing that offset the green, the way the
- 1:30:00Speaker 5: ring works. I don't think it's a light or dark thing.
- 1:30:04Speaker 5: I think it's a fear thing. I think it's a
- 1:30:08Speaker 5: fear gun.
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: Not like for those who are listening or watching. Not
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: a fear gun as in. scarecrow fear no.
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: No it it kind of gives it kind of it
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: gives parallax it gives parallax a little bit honestly the
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: way that because like the way the smoke shoots out
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: because in the other place it's just in the oxygen
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: to the point where it's poisoning the atmosphere with them
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: it's like this concentrated and once he had glasses which
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: you have glasses to see through this so clearly you
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: have countermeasures how seemed like he was fine Because we
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: also have a third group from this planet that is
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: run by the gym teacher from Everybody Hates Chris that
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: is trying to just kamikaze this entire ranch.
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: There's a lot that's going on.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I can only see that man as Mr. Thurman.
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: Not only that, but Hal transporting dead bodies in John's rental.
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: That too.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: So disrespectful. Hal has no respect for any kind of vehicle.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: Let's just start there. Is that Kantoxu? Kantoxu?
- 1:31:15Speaker 5: No, it's Birria Ramen.
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: Ah, oh, I got to try that.
- 1:31:19Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 1:31:20Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I'm real hungry, y'all.
- 1:31:21Speaker 4: Y'all go ahead.
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: Look, I haven't eaten yet, so I'm about to smash
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: my sandwich.
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: I finished the sandwich off-screen earlier. I made fish and rice.
- 1:31:28Speaker 4: It's still waiting for me in the microwave.
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: The fact that he transports these bodies in John's rental,
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: and there's alien blood all in the upholstery. And John
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: is pissed. He's like, this motherfucker is pissing me off.
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: He is costing me money. He has thrown me off
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: a cliff. He has done all this bullshit. It's to
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: the point between what Liana is saying, John's parents are saying,
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: what Hal is doing. It's to the point where he's
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: damn near like, I'm ready to take this motherfucker off
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: of you, GP. Not because I want it, just because
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: I don't want you to have it. You know? And
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: so you start to find out some things. And then
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: you find out. Like, Hal goes to Oa to go
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: see Sinestro. Because he's starting to hear that there's a
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: Manhunter still. He's like, Manhunters, they're supposed to be extinct.
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: And so he goes to Sinestro. And Sinestro was like, yeah, uh,
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: pretty much tell me about John Stewart. He's like, how
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: the fuck you know about John Stewart?
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody's feeding Sinestro information. These humans have specifically anti-Green
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: Lantern weaponry.
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like there's so much backhanded stuff going on.
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: Gaslighting and backhanded stuff. It's all over the place. And
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: he turns around. He doesn't really tell him too much
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: about John, but he knows about John, Sinestro does. And
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: when Hal goes back to Earth, John is looking for him.
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: In the midst of him looking for him, he doesn't
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: know he went off-world to Oa. Hal gave him some bullshit.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I went to get me a little
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: sweetness off-world. Because, you know, once you had a bit
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: of off-world alien coon.
- 1:33:37Speaker 6: I'm like I don't know what that's.
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: Like John just doesn't care at this point can we
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: just get back on mission.
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: Yeah and so through their investigation they you know they
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: keep thinking they're making this up to some shit making
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: this up to some shit and they're thinking that he's
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: the man hunter And it comes to find out he's
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: not the man on her. John didn't even figure it
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: out until it was too late. Because once again, after
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: they got caught up with making and John had to
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: sit up there and draw this man naked. Yes, you
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: heard that. You heard that completely right. He had to
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: draw this man naked like they do in the art rooms.
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: And Hal is just complete. He's all types of uncomfortable.
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: He was like. Let's talk about the elephant in the room.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: He's like, which elephant? And Hal's like, not that. I'm
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: not trying to. He's like, he's doing his best. I
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: don't want to see this whole butt-ass naked white man
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: in my face. I have seen some things. This is weird.
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: And he's like, I've been on a planet with sentient tentacles.
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: This is weird. I don't need to see this right here.
- 1:34:57Speaker 4: Not the sentient tentacles.
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, it's so much going on. And so
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: you find out that they, Macon lets him go because
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: thanks to Sheriff Kane, she comes back. And because that
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: is Macon's daughter-in-law. And she's married to his son, Billy.
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: And which is, what is, he's, is it John? Not John.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: It's John Ritter's son. It's Jack. I think his name's Jack.
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: But he's, you don't see much of him. But he
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: seems like an okay guy.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: Jason.
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: Jason, Jason Ritter. He seems like an okay guy from
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: what we do see. He leaves.
- 1:35:44Speaker 5: For a little while.
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: For a little while. So Sheriff Kane is able to
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: go get them and take them back out. She was like, look,
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: you guys got to leave town. This shit is getting hot.
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: At this point, there's two ways. You either leave, or
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: they're going to take y'all out. Hal already got shot
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: by one of.
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: Yeah, just tank the sniper bullet and walk that.
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: Off. Yeah. At that point, Hal was waking up in
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: a hospital where there's no patients. He's like, this equipment
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: looks new. It's covered up. What the fuck is going on?
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: It's too much happening. So, when Sheriff Kane comes to
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: get him, basically say, hey, you guys got to leave town.
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: Hal and John is like, fuck that. We got to
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: find out what the fuck going on. So, they go
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: back to their hotel. And while he's there, John... is
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: doing his best by any means necessary mode. He's got
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: the gun by the window. He's waiting.
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: He hit the Malcolm X pose real quick.
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. And who shows up at the door? Zoe.
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: Distant love. After you've seen me just draw your husband
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: butt-ass naked, and you coming to see me again, and
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself the whole time, I'm thinking, don't
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: do it, man. Not again. Don't do it.
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: Don't.
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: Don't do it. Okay.
- 1:37:21Speaker 4: Brown chicken, brown cow, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: Two times, just to be sure. Yeah.
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: Double tap.
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: That's a great kind of play letter.
- 1:37:33Speaker 4: It felt the way it felt before.
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: Excuse me.
- 1:37:38Speaker 6: I just need a verification process, if you will. So
- 1:37:42Speaker 6: I appreciate your patronage and your time.
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: It was a girl on threads I saw and was like,
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: I genuinely don't understand John's attraction to this woman. I mean,
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: that's the sentiment I'm seeing from all the women who
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: watch the show.
- 1:38:01Speaker 5: My thought is that he likes this woman.
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: When you see her outside, yeah, he has a type.
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: When you see her outside of the show, it's just like, oh,
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: that makeup, they did you so dirty, honey. They did
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: you dirty. But they did their thing again. She gets
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: in the truck. She's like, I got to leave. Right
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: when she leaves, truck gets blown up.
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: Lasers show up.
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: Blam.
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: Tactical laser inbounds. Yeah.
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: And he's there. He's startled at first, but he's watching.
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: And then Hal comes out of his room like, what happened?
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: Where did this come from? And he's telling them. He's like, no,
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: just point, damn it. And he flies up. And he
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: grabs a satellite and he brings it back down. And
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: so now they call Sheriff King and say, hey, some
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: shit is going on. We don't know what the fuck
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: this is. But they're trying to figure this shit out now.
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: They're like, what's up with the lasers? What's up with this?
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: They find out where the satellite came from. It was
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: down to like three companies. And they nailed it down
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: to two and then they actually found the one. So
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: they were just going to go boss hog and go
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: through there. Until John said, no, that's what they're expecting.
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: And he's like, why you say that, Junior? He's like,
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: we're doing an investigation, right?
- 1:39:22Speaker 4: Well, wait a minute.
- 1:39:24Speaker 5: Hold on. The reason why they're going back to the
- 1:39:27Speaker 5: place is because they were told by this gentleman that's
- 1:39:32Speaker 5: at the facility.
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: Pardon? I'm so sorry.
- 1:39:38Speaker 5: That's at the facility that he was told... that the
- 1:39:45Speaker 5: Manhunter is actually making.
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, that's what they were told. That's what they
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: were told.
- 1:39:52Speaker 5: So before we go forward to Hal doing the same
- 1:39:56Speaker 5: shit twice. Yeah. How, so we have, I don't know,
- 1:40:04Speaker 5: I don't mean to spoil it.
- 1:40:05Speaker 4: Hal is.
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: Oh, we're past.
- 1:40:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I know.
- 1:40:09Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 1:40:10Speaker 5: Anyway, okay, so.
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: We're on like four and a half.
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: Let's.
- 1:40:13Speaker 5: So the... No, I'm going ahead. So the laser beam
- 1:40:17Speaker 5: that blew up Zoe, blew up Zoe, is her laser beam, right?
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: She owns the company. She called the hit on herself
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: and timed it.
- 1:40:27Speaker 5: So then she was also the one that orchestrated it
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: so that they would kill her husband.
- 1:40:34Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: She.
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: This is where everybody's ploys start coming into play.
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: This is where let's get you back your finger from
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: the cop who doesn't know how to be a cop
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: comes into play. Everybody has a debt to settle or
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: a part to play if and when the big day comes.
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: This is where all the chess pieces are being moved.
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: You get to the shitstorm that is Stockholm Syndrome all
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: throughout episode 5 because he took that last drink like
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: Queen Latifah with that cigarette and set it off and
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: Once the dude was like, yeah, even taught him the
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: language to speak with these people.
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: Gave him pointers and everything.
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: Yeah, so once Coach Thurman shows up, it was like, yeah,
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: how many children did we have? And I'm like, can
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: y'all reproduce? Or is that a trick question?
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: It was a trick question. Turned out it was a
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: trick question.
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: Then when he gets Mortal Kombat Fatality on the table.
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: And which after all that people say, I can't believe
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: John took out Zoe. I'm like, it definitely was going
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: to happen. Um, cause episode four, what is it? John
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: has to, is basically on a time limit. He has
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: to tell these people who the main hunter is and
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: discover it, or they're just going to walk in and
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: just kamikaze every building in the town that they can. Um,
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: and then you've got Zoe trying to play him. And
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: then we get our first British slip up in the meat.
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: Speak up. uh to our cousins across the pond oops
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: edris damson leticia look i know that british accent is
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: strong as the feck when y'all curse it can't help
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: but to come out it's okay he did much better
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: in episode six much much.
- 1:42:24Speaker 5: Better It was one slip of good luck.
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: No, he had it the very next episode because they
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: crashed it. He basically finds out the... What is it?
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: Hal figures out who the Manhunter is. He goes to
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: sabotage John's meeting with the bomber people. Crashes the car
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: and then leaves him there. But when he's crashing it,
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: fuck you! I'm like, I heard that slip out of.
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: It's.
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: The people who keep doing the... The tingles get.
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: Yeah, he has two worthy moments of that from those
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: two episodes. Every F-bomb has that accent. And then he
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: got it together in episode six.
- 1:43:06Speaker 5: Out of eight episodes. Good God.
- 1:43:08Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: But here's the funny thing.
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: It's when he has to shout and do anger. So
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: when he's angry and shouting at people, just fuck you
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: is fine. But when he has to shout, he can't
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: do both. See, I was like, sorry about the card.
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: Like, here's the crazy thing about him with the accent
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: and him cursing. We're not, like, it's negative. We're just
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: making fun of it. Like, it's like, it's funny. Like,
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: other people will be like, oh, I hate that. He
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: couldn't even keep his accent. I'm like, that didn't really
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: bother us. We just thought the shit was hilarious. You know?
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: So... Yeah, this girl, they get to episode five where
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: all the shit hits the fan. And they're just like, yeah,
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: you don't know what will happen to this town and
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: what could go through if you guys don't leave. It's like,
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: here's the thing. We don't fucking know you people. Y'all
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: are like Abby in The Last of Us. Like, damn,
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: when are we getting back to Ellie in the game?
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: We don't know what he's doing, niggas. Like, we don't
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: feel bad for any of these people who are done. Like, like.
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: It's like when they made you play through Ellie's story
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: and you, like, stab all these people and then you
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: have to find them at Abby and it's, like, supposed
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: to be sad. It's like, we just met these people.
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: I don't fucking care. So then she starts calling in
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: all the Call of Duty missiles on the entire town
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: that's supposed to protect her. And it's like, hey.
- 1:44:25Speaker 5: Which made no sense. Are you trying... Like, if you
- 1:44:28Speaker 5: kill everybody in the fucking town, you're killing everybody in
- 1:44:32Speaker 5: the fucking town. All the people that you had to
- 1:44:33Speaker 5: fight for you are gone.
- 1:44:35Speaker 4: So.
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: A normal lantern by the books would not allow that
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: many people to be sacrificed to make a point and
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: or make an arrest. What was the movie?
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: Hal makes a conscious effort to deter some stuff, but
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: there's no telling what his ring charge is on at
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: this point. 5%. It's always 5%.
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: The reason he can beat his ring awake like an
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: old dead Game Boy battery is because I think he's
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: the only Lantern who's ever let it get that low.
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: So it's like, bang, 5%. We're good.
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: It's the equivalent of putting a battery in the freezer,
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: like you said.
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's like, yeah, we're going to drain his
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: battery and then kill him. It's like an alteration of,
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: if anybody's ever seen, I think it was Justice League Doom.
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: Where they took Batman's contingencies and cranked them up to
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: 10 for everybody. And the biggest one for Hal was
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: make it seem like he failed to uphold his oath
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: and save somebody. And the ring will naturally either come
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: off or he'll take it off. And essentially, I think
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: that's what she was testing was, oh, he wouldn't let
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: this many people die. Bitch, you thought. And even then,
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: the whole thing with John... I can't believe John... Because
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: then he had John set him up to be bait
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: so that he can kill Zoe. And people are like, oh,
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: I can't believe you shot him. I'm like, I knew
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: she was cooked when you let him fry in the car.
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: That's the thing.
- 1:45:58Speaker 4: Because are you fucking for real, bitch?
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: Let's go there.
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: I am auditioning for Freddy Krueger right now. If you
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: don't put me back.
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: When Hal crashes that car, Hal doesn't know the car
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: is going to catch on fire. He's just trying to
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: keep John....
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: No.
- 1:46:15Speaker 5: Lefty's so fucking for real right now. He drove a
- 1:46:19Speaker 5: car at high speed into a pole. You are trying
- 1:46:24Speaker 5: to kill me. He didn't have.
- 1:46:26Speaker 6: The ring on.
- 1:46:27Speaker 1: He's trying to kill him. I don't think he knew
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: that fire was going to happen.
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: Yeah, no. Look, we said nothing about maiming. We said
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: nothing about maiming or injuring. He said he doesn't kill.
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: He said he doesn't kill. That does not mean, if anything,
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: Hal's probably on probation because we've probably seen him take it.
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: The guard has probably seen him take it a little
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: too far from time to time. It's like as long
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: as he's breathing. But, yeah, he left him there.
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: No. he said the guardians is like he's like the
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: guardian like you did what he's like but did you die.
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: Basically because i think as well i think i think
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: that's his mindset at this point because like he can't
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: just murder the replacement for the guardians assigned to him
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: that's that's going to be a problem if i can
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: maim him though or hurt him really badly.
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: As as as hat was putting it i'm just removing
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: some pieces off.
- 1:47:23Speaker 4: That is not trying to say nick said it right there.
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: From a fire impact.
- 1:47:30Speaker 4: Yeah. If at high speed you're going to have an impact,
- 1:47:34Speaker 4: there's going to.
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: Be a fire.
- 1:47:36Speaker 5: His brain is going to be like, what is it?
- 1:47:40Speaker 5: Jackson Pollock against the windshield. There's no way he didn't
- 1:47:45Speaker 5: think that was going to cause some irreparable fucking damage
- 1:47:49Speaker 5: to him.
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: Oh, no, you're hospitalized and can't be the lantern anymore
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: because you're crippled.
- 1:47:54Speaker 4: Y'all are killing it. Y'all are killing it.
- 1:47:57Speaker 5: Y'all do too much.
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: He's not a cartoon. No, but I'm saying you're saying
- 1:48:02Speaker 2: if he gets permanently hurt, Hal probably wouldn't be upset
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: about that is what I'm saying.
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Which one was worse? Hal crashing
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: the car. Or Zoey watching the car go up in
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: flames and just like, yeah, I'm a little him sizzle
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: for a little bit. I'm going to let him get
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: like that hot dog that we all like. Just a
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: little bit. And then I'm going to go in and
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: do what I got to do.
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: Yeah, see, there was no fire when he left. So
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: even though he didn't say, oh, Jordan's dead, he just said, eh,
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: he's a little busy. When he went to go sit
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: in on his little mafia meeting at the restaurant, So, yeah,
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: Zoe let him burn and then brought him back. And
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: once she's like, you have to do something for me,
- 1:48:45Speaker 2: I'm like, girl. Yeah, once she's like, you're indebted to
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: me if I bring you back, I'm like, you're the
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: reason I'm sitting here rotisserie style. What do you mean?
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: So everybody's like, I can't believe you shot Zoe. I'm like,
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: I knew she was finished when she let him fry
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: in that car. And then calling down the lasers, which
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how they got pinned on Hal.
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: The fact that I'm glad Dr. Lee said that. He says,
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: so I can bring you back and make you better.
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: He's like, if you make me darker, my brothers are
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: going to roast me.
- 1:49:21Speaker 4: I like my meat cooked.
- 1:49:24Speaker 5: Shoe leather.
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: Shoe leather. So Hal gets new skin. No shit. He
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: gets a new skin. And he gets out of... Literally. Literally.
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: I heard you like... Your kind likes barbecue.
- 1:49:43Speaker 5: I hate you.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: So they go. Mind you, like Tafari said, the whole
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: town is turning into just one big shit show. It's just...
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: It's going left. And Hal is doing his thing, chasing
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: down Anton and all his cronies. John is trying to
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: catch up to those guys and then he's got some
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: he's working on a deal himself he catches up with
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: Hal and beats his.
- 1:50:19Speaker 4: Ass for free for free no discounts for free.
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: Whoops his ass royally snatches the ring off his hand
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: and basically was like bitch you don't deserve this shit
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: And walks out of there. And then Zoe shows up.
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: And she's getting ready to do the kill and blow.
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: And she's like, yeah, where is he? He's like, you know,
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: they start having their little back and forth. She's like,
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: so why did he leave you behind? He was like, bait.
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: And before she knew it, she turns around and witnesses
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: John with his scope rifle.
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: Bam.
- 1:50:59Speaker 5: You're the best that ever did it, John.
- 1:51:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:51:03Speaker 5: Wait, we're skipping over one important part. The grandson.
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: The grandson. So before the show happens. He's going to
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: be for episode 7, which is Thursday.
- 1:51:14Speaker 5: Yeah, but what Zoe said to him.
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: Yeah, she says remember.
- 1:51:20Speaker 4: Everything I taught you.
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is interesting. I don't know. what
- 1:51:28Speaker 1: you've told this boy. But like I said, we're going
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: to find out more about this kid.
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: Are you his actual grandma or step-grandma? I still need
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: to know that.
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: I would say he's his step-grandma because you have no, like,
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: I don't know what's the debt that's owed outside of
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: giving back your thumb. Like, you paid your thumb. You
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: paid off in thumb. Like, you gave him, you started
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: her a new life.
- 1:51:52Speaker 4: Here's one pinky. Here's your change.
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: Right. Like, what else do I owe you? You know, So, headshot.
- 1:52:01Speaker 2: Zoe.
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: John meets up with Liana. Walks into that bar. Gives
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: her the whole nine and says... Pause. I trained all
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: my life for this damn ring. Only to realize that
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: I don't want this shit. I seen what it did
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: to Hal.
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: I hate you.
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: You can keep this. He said... You can keep this.
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: I'm out. What is happening right now?
- 1:52:36Speaker 4: When Chris said give him the whole nine, I said pause.
- 1:52:39Speaker 4: And then she just transforms.
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a full almost.
- 1:52:48Speaker 5: On episode six at the 33 15 second mark. 33
- 1:52:52Speaker 5: minute 15 second mark. Ladies and gentlemen and they's and them's.
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: You're welcome.
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: We are equal opportunity oh that's the episode yeah that's
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: episode five you're talking about not six yeah and then
- 1:53:08Speaker 2: you remember how how was trying to bring her in
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: alive because if you go to seven minutes he literally
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: tells him he's like you think the guardians will let
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: you uh keep the ring if you kill me or
- 1:53:17Speaker 2: kill her he's like He's like, I'm not trying to
- 1:53:19Speaker 2: kill anybody. Do you not read the fine print? I
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: may be an ass, but we have an oath. We
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: don't kill. So again, down to the car crash. Seriously, Mame.
- 1:53:27Speaker 2: By extension.
- 1:53:29Speaker 5: My counter to that is we don't know when he
- 1:53:31Speaker 5: talked to Sinestro.
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: We have no idea when that conversation happened. What we
- 1:53:37Speaker 1: have theorized is that he keeps talking to Sinestro.
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: He's definitely going to Sinestro and getting details. It hasn't
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: been that one time. Because, see, even by the comic
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: book lore, Sinestro taught how.
- 1:53:56Speaker 5: Before we leave off of that, because I'm having a thought. There's,
- 1:54:03Speaker 5: I guess, a mark of time now that I'm thinking
- 1:54:05Speaker 5: about it. John was wearing the suit when he was
- 1:54:08Speaker 5: doing all of those interviews with news stations and what
- 1:54:11Speaker 5: have you. Even when he went to go shoot the
- 1:54:15Speaker 5: dignitary or whatever, the Russian dude, he had the suit on.
- 1:54:20Speaker 5: He had the suit on when he went to go
- 1:54:21Speaker 5: see Sinestro. This is, we're talking 20, 30 years in
- 1:54:26Speaker 5: the past before Rushville even happens. So I think that
- 1:54:31Speaker 5: we don't, this goes into my John is not John,
- 1:54:34Speaker 5: or Hal is not Hal theory. So I think him
- 1:54:41Speaker 5: saying that was the real Hal or the alive whatever
- 1:54:44Speaker 5: you want to say the real Hal and then this
- 1:54:47Speaker 5: Hal that's trying to murk a motherfucker because you cannot
- 1:54:49Speaker 5: tell me going 60 miles an hour into a bowl
- 1:54:52Speaker 5: is not trying to kill somebody is fake Hal faux
- 1:54:56Speaker 5: Hal in my personal thought process but.
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: We are all on the same page that we're dealing
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: with two Hals and we're not talking about the hologram Correct.
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: There's definitely a clone. Sinestro is 2016. Sinestro is during
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: the Rushville thing. His 2016 pops up as he's going
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: to visit the planet he's locked up on. Which is
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: why when he comes back, he's like, you're not going
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: to ask where I was? And he's just like, I'm
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: not your fucking mother, but alright.
- 1:55:32Speaker 5: But he also says he's been gone for two weeks. Okay,
- 1:55:35Speaker 5: can I go through my Pepe?
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: I mean, we also don't know how long it takes
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: for them to get to planet to planet.
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: So, Lady Mandalore do her Pepe Sylvia.
- 1:55:44Speaker 5: My Pepe Sylvia. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, episode one.
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: There is no Carol in HR.
- 1:55:48Speaker 5: There is no Carol in HR. Please pay attention. I
- 1:55:50Speaker 5: speak quickly and I mean the things that I say.
- 1:55:52Speaker 5: Hal shows up two weeks late. It takes two weeks
- 1:55:56Speaker 5: for him to meet up with John. John is pissed.
- 1:55:59Speaker 5: They're in the car talking. Oh, how come you're not mad?
- 1:56:02Speaker 5: I'd be mad. I haven't been here for two weeks. Oh,
- 1:56:04Speaker 5: I was up in a planet helping them win a
- 1:56:06Speaker 5: civil war and I got into all this debauchery and
- 1:56:08Speaker 5: fun and I'm hungover. No, Hal don't get fucking hungover.
- 1:56:13Speaker 5: That's some fucking lame baby drink type shit. He don't
- 1:56:19Speaker 5: get fucking hungover. He knows how to handle his liquor
- 1:56:21Speaker 5: and drink his water. The other thing is the hologram
- 1:56:26Speaker 5: that Hal doesn't fucking know about when he comes back to, what?
- 1:56:30Speaker 4: What? What?
- 1:56:31Speaker 5: You didn't smoke weed, you drank. That don't have nothing
- 1:56:33Speaker 5: to do with your memory, my good friend. Which also
- 1:56:37Speaker 5: goes to, wait.
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: Well, he doesn't back it. He's supposed to back it
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: up every week. He hasn't backed it up in 10 years.
- 1:56:43Speaker 5: Correct.
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:56:45Speaker 5: You still remember the last, listen, look.
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: That means the last time he backed it up, the
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: Rushville shit was just starting.
- 1:56:53Speaker 5: Correct.
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: And then whatever the shit was going on with the Guardians.
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: I'm going to.
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: Back this up for proof because these motherfuckers is all something.
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: The hologram only knows what he is given, which is
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: that and sentry duty, which is why he doesn't even
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: know who John is, but knows to keep an eye
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: on Rushville. Hal also doesn't fill out paperwork, we found out.
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: Hal doesn't fill out paperwork. He doesn't do any backups.
- 1:57:22Speaker 1: He doesn't report.
- 1:57:25Speaker 5: Which is what I think got him in trouble with
- 1:57:27Speaker 5: this goddamn ring. The fake Hal giving John that ring
- 1:57:32Speaker 5: and making that hologram pop up. Because he wasn't looking
- 1:57:35Speaker 5: for the hologram to pop up. He was just going
- 1:57:38Speaker 5: to take John and do fuck all. Who knows what
- 1:57:39Speaker 5: the hell he was going to do with him. But
- 1:57:41Speaker 5: they all went on this journey because of the hologram.
- 1:57:44Speaker 5: popping up and triggering him to go find this manhunter
- 1:57:47Speaker 5: i don't know who that motherfucker is that's that's posing
- 1:57:50Speaker 5: as hal but that is not fucking hell that is
- 1:57:53Speaker 5: it's weird it's weird plus he tried to kill him
- 1:57:56Speaker 5: on top of that and all the little bits of
- 1:57:58Speaker 5: memory pieces that are not in place in that should
- 1:58:02Speaker 5: be in place.
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: Something clearly something clearly is happening on all fronts like
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: we've we've gotten John. We got John together. We know
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: what's happening there.
- 1:58:14Speaker 5: I mean John's the only constant.
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: Yeah. But Hal. By this point in the story. You're
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: starting to realize that. Hal isn't just being a dick.
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: For the sake of being a dick. He's. He's. He's
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: using it to his advantage because he's just like, yeah,
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: they're expecting me to be a dick. Might as well
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: use it because he's not dumb. He's nowhere near the way.
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: He's not oblivious to anything. He is smart. He's just like,
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: they're expecting me to be an asshole. So I'm going
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: to play to that. I'll play to being an asshole
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: and still get the information because let's be honest, everything
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: he's being an asshole about, he ended up being right about.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: Every step of the way. Outside of trying to figure
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: out who the Manhunter was, and even then, he figured
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: that out. Because him and John were in the car
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: before the car crashed. He was like, Zoe's the Manhunter.
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: And John was like, I had, I had, I had
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: pause to think she was. I wasn't sure. He's like, Junior,
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: that was your gut. He's like, you could have told me.
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: He's more pissed no one told him opposed to John
- 1:59:37Speaker 1: keeping it to himself. But they both had their reasons why.
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: They're really the same person on different sides of the coin.
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: There's a reason why Hal is playing stuff close to
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: the chest. There's a reason why John is playing stuff
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: close to the chest. They're in cop mode. But they
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: just operate different. This is why this is a good
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: true detective slash buddy cop type situation because they're just like, yeah,
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: I'm getting a new recruit. I don't want a new recruit.
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: I don't need a new recruit. That means you're going
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: to get somebody else to do the job That I
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: really don't want to do. But I'm good at what
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: I do. It's just I have to work for you assholes.
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: Yeah, like, what was the... We haven't seen any of
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: the conversation Hal has had with the Guardians or how
- 2:00:34Speaker 2: they've been telling him this info. Yeah, you won't, probably.
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: They've just been sneak-telling John stuff, and it's just like, yeah,
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: he's technically fired. We just ain't told him yet. Next
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: time you put the ring on, say the oath, and
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: it'll transfer to you. And I'm like, that... How about
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: you just give me one? Why I gotta do all...
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: Why the black... I done told you, but my mom
- 2:00:51Speaker 2: has been telling me about black food for 20 years.
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: Why I gotta steal it? Like, it's... And then... We
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: get all the bullshit in Episode 5. I was not
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: expecting him to go full Mortal Kombat and just rip
- 2:01:02Speaker 2: Zoe's heart out. But yeah, it ices out. She's a Manhunter,
- 2:01:07Speaker 2: and then he gives him the ring. It's like, hey,
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: grab your friends, grab your shit, and please go home.
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: And clearly, not taking the ring put his dad in
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: a mental institution, because next episode... I'm so curious. How
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: did Guy Gardner get the ring?
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: So there's a scene that happens in episode five that
- 2:01:29Speaker 1: I'm glad got answered. There's a scene after all the
- 2:01:32Speaker 1: shit unfolded. The whole battle went down and everything else.
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: There's a scene where John is walking by a little
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: girl and obviously her mother and dead father. And she
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: gives the little girl a watch. And they're very on.
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: I'm like, I've never seen these people. Don't know who
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: these people are.
- 2:01:51Speaker 5: I thought they were at the taco stand that Hal
- 2:01:55Speaker 5: was at.
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: They might have been, but there wasn't... You know how
- 2:02:00Speaker 1: you see a scene and you're like, why is that
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: camera focused so long?
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: On them. Yeah, the little girl.
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: And then you find out in episode six, you find
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: out that that little girl now works at the diner. Which,
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: by the way, nobody decided to leave this fucking town?
- 2:02:18Speaker 2: At all?
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: Like... I mean, where are you going? I mean, ain't
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: much else going on. Where are you going? Save you
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: with a little money and get the hell out of there.
- 2:02:25Speaker 4: Where are you going? A gallivant to you.
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: Oh, my God. And she is the waitress that's now
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: working at the diner. And she happens to be there
- 2:02:37Speaker 1: when John is at home. And I want to say
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: they might be back in Detroit. That's what I want
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: to say. And it might be back in Detroit. But
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: him and his brother Marcus are working together creating panic
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: rooms for the rich and wealthy due to the events
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: that happened in Superman.
- 2:03:00Speaker 5: Or a panic city.
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: Panic cities. Underground panic cities and stuff.
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: Areas for the actual towns people to take out between
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: Rushville and then Superman which this is now after. Whatever
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: Batman has gone through in these last couple years.
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: So you have John, and he's running game. He's getting
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: the ear of everybody. And him and his brother Marcus,
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: who he's actually getting along with, are trying to close
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: this deal. Then that's when he gets the call from
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: Sheriff King. You need to come back to Rushville. This
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: spins back to episode one, where they close the episode
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: with Sheriff King and John looking at a dead Hal
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: Jordan in the football field. Now we're getting to that
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: part of the episode. Now we're in current time, and
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out what happened to Hal. Who
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: did it? Why did it happen? John goes back to
- 2:04:01Speaker 1: Rushfield because he gets a call from his mother saying, hey,
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: I've been talking to Hal. And he's got her listed
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: as Bernadette in his phone, not his mom.
- 2:04:11Speaker 2: That is Michael and Joseph.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: I get it.
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: I get it.
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: And she's like, yeah, I've been talking to Hal for
- 2:04:20Speaker 1: the past couple of years. He went to prison.
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: He got out.
- 2:04:23Speaker 1: He's been writing letters, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: wants to apologize. What? So he goes there. Hal is
- 2:04:31Speaker 1: in the diner eating pancakes. And he said, my mom,
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: I heard you been talking to Bernadette. He's like, man,
- 2:04:38Speaker 1: you calling her Bernadette now? What's your mother? He's going
- 2:04:42Speaker 1: through the whole thing. He said, yeah, she says she
- 2:04:44Speaker 1: want to apologize. I don't want to apologize to her.
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: Once again, John is pissed. Like, we still doing this
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: gaslighting shit. I came out here because I've been told
- 2:04:57Speaker 1: that you want to apologize. My mother said it. And
- 2:05:01Speaker 1: somebody's lying. Somebody is lying. What brought him out there?
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: You know, so he gets out there. Hal is doing
- 2:05:12Speaker 1: this shit. He said, look, I did my time. I
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: took the fall. just got out not too long ago, blah, blah, blah.
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: He says, he said, I know he's like, I'm not
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: the only killer that's sitting at this table. And, and
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: John gets pissed, punches and breaks his nose. And then
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: mind you, the little waitress is sitting outside. She seen
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: John walk in. Ain't nobody else really in this diner. So,
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: and then Hal turns around and he looks at John
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: with fear. In concerning, he says, hey, whatever you do,
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: do not tell anybody you came back here. And I
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: mean anybody. And then that's when he's leaving and he
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: goes back home only to get another call saying, this
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: motherfucker dead. So now you got to turn back around. Now,
- 2:06:07Speaker 1: if he's in Detroit and that's in Nebraska, that's a
- 2:06:10Speaker 1: 17-hour drive. I just said Nebraska. I did the Google
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: map search.
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: I'm like, I know.
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: Rushville ain't real, but I know to travel from Detroit
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: to Nebraska is 17 hours. That's not a pretty drive.
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: We're talking about a guy who has a steel wheel
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: resolve and has sat for three months practically no sleep
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: waiting on somebody. So who knows? Maybe he can stay
- 2:06:38Speaker 1: up for 17 hours and drive back and forth. Who knows?
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: Maybe. Maybe.
- 2:06:43Speaker 5: There's there's something about that whole scenario that just screams
- 2:06:47Speaker 5: set up yeah but but it would start with his
- 2:06:51Speaker 5: mother yeah not and i don't know if that was
- 2:06:54Speaker 5: actually his mother you know what i.
- 2:06:56Speaker 1: Mean that part that part.
- 2:06:57Speaker 5: Because that's that's weird she don't fucking care about how
- 2:07:00Speaker 5: in his fucking field well they have been talking but
- 2:07:03Speaker 5: i don't i don't buy that shit either that is such.
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: Something something's off And I'm like you later, Miller. Something
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: is off. Somebody said something. Like I said, there's so
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: much gaslighting going on. You don't know if Hal actually
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: told her to say that and he didn't mean it.
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: Or you don't know if that's not even her that
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: said it, you know, because it's coming over the phone.
- 2:07:32Speaker 1: It could have been Liana's ass. Who knows?
- 2:07:33Speaker 5: Who knows?
- 2:07:36Speaker 1: Who knows?
- 2:07:37Speaker 5: So much weird shit going on.
- 2:07:39Speaker 2: It all feels... It felt weird immediately. Because, like, what
- 2:07:42Speaker 2: do you mean he got out for 10 years? He
- 2:07:43Speaker 2: went to jail for 10 years. Which, how did that work? Hey,
- 2:07:47Speaker 2: thanks for, like, stopping this alien that was technically holding
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: everyone hostage. You get to do time. Like, y'all didn't
- 2:07:53Speaker 2: investigate this city. Y'all didn't... Like, what was the cover
- 2:07:57Speaker 2: of you would think in, in this, or no, it's 2016.
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: So I don't think we had one in this Academy.
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: Like Dark Elise said, driving that long in a GMC's
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: truck and not staffing for gas or the bathroom, that
- 2:08:08Speaker 1: man's prostate is screaming.
- 2:08:12Speaker 2: He was a Marine sniper, so patience.
- 2:08:15Speaker 1: He was holding strong.
- 2:08:16Speaker 2: He was holding strong. I'm sure he's got his family cup.
- 2:08:21Speaker 1: In the car. He said he has ways.
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: He probably drinks it again when he's done in his room. Dude.
- 2:08:33Speaker 4: He's my family right here.
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: Remember when he was on the sniper mission, he was
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: Hakuna Matata. I survived off bugs and mud. He has
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: a whole Cotton Hill war story in there.
- 2:08:44Speaker 4: At least he got his knees.
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: Man. Look, Hal tried to take him out. He's like,
- 2:08:51Speaker 2: oh no, you can't walk.
- 2:08:52Speaker 1: Sorry, Junior.
- 2:08:54Speaker 2: You can be the first lantern in an imaginary wheelchair.
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: It's Charles Xavier in reverse. that yeah the whole thing
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: you did 10 years for the wrong crime and all
- 2:09:06Speaker 2: of a sudden you now want to become a model
- 2:09:07Speaker 2: citizen and you're friends with my mother and you're scared
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: for who the fuck is this right like like i'd
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: be in there cursing out everyone on the daily and
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: potentially plotting my own escape or something but i've also
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: noticed in this dc when you do wrong you don't
- 2:09:24Speaker 2: die they send you off somewhere like Peacemaker is behind
- 2:09:28Speaker 2: a portal somewhere. Bizarro is behind a portal somewhere. Hal
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: is potentially swapped out and behind a portal somewhere. Because
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: someone also broke out Sinestro. And he definitely wants his revenge.
- 2:09:40Speaker 2: It won't just do a shot to the head. It
- 2:09:42Speaker 2: won't do. I think Hal we just killed off is
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: a Cadmus clone that knows he's a clone. Because I'll
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: give him that. Young Justice did that very well with
- 2:09:50Speaker 2: people who know that their entire life is a lie.
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: Minus Speedy. He went through five years of trauma.
- 2:09:56Speaker 1: That man did not have a chance. I was like,
- 2:09:59Speaker 1: stop torturing this man.
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: And then had the most toxic baby mother in the
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: entire show in Cheshire. But yeah, then we have a little.
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: Hey, nobody's got it worse than Bruce. Let's just put
- 2:10:11Speaker 1: it that way. Bruce has the worst baby mama in history.
- 2:10:19Speaker 2: And I need season five.
- 2:10:20Speaker 1: Here's your kid. He's eight to ten years old. I've
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: raised him. You take him now. He's asking too much
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: about you.
- 2:10:26Speaker 2: That's why we need season five. There are two of
- 2:10:28Speaker 2: Bruce's children on that island we need to deal with,
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: and we just have not addressed that. There is a
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: kidnapped Jason and another kid that just became born. But yeah,
- 2:10:36Speaker 2: we also have the houseplant that I definitely would have
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: fed that little white girl, too, because I'm like, you're
- 2:10:40Speaker 2: going to stop. For a second, she said, we're not racist,
- 2:10:44Speaker 2: followed by reparations. I'm like, yeah.
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: Look, that part....
- 2:10:48Speaker 2: I got your money. Go to my crib. Look under
- 2:10:51Speaker 2: the mat. Get the key. It's right under the house plane.
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: He doesn't bite. Don't worry. Feed me, Seymour.
- 2:10:57Speaker 1: Oh, she's like racist. We're not racist. I'm looking for reparations.
- 2:11:01Speaker 4: Whoa.
- 2:11:02Speaker 1: Hey, you know what?
- 2:11:05Speaker 4: Okay, bitch.
- 2:11:06Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to Earl. Let me introduce you
- 2:11:09Speaker 1: to Earl. Who is Earl? Oh, you about to find out.
- 2:11:14Speaker 2: Feed me, Seymour. For real.
- 2:11:19Speaker 1: That line alone and the way she's trying to blackmail him. Like,
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: I need $ 350, 000. I said, that's a very specific number.
- 2:11:29Speaker 1: And what makes you think you need that much money
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: to get out of this? Here's $ 100. Get on a
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: bus and figure it out.
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: Honestly, do like Jean Grey in that movie. But yeah,
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: so they have this. We meet Guy in this episode.
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: I guess he is... I'm curious how he got the
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: ring and what they told him. Like, hey, the last
- 2:11:52Speaker 2: guy gave you a pretty shitty reputation because he has
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: a light to try and do good.
- 2:11:57Speaker 1: I would like to see how he gets the ring,
- 2:11:59Speaker 1: but like, John gives him that line. He says, everything
- 2:12:04Speaker 1: you got is because I didn't take it. Mic drop.
- 2:12:15Speaker 5: The silence from the man that don't shut.
- 2:12:17Speaker 1: Up from the blackest part of my soul I was like.
- 2:12:24Speaker 5: You got my leftovers hooker how it feel to be
- 2:12:28Speaker 5: third and I really like Nathan Fillion as an actor
- 2:12:32Speaker 5: and everything he does when that was said I'm like
- 2:12:36Speaker 5: damn that hit different Fresh spray out of a McDonald's.
- 2:12:45Speaker 1: That's that McDonald's spray, Chris.
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: But also, the cop talking about her and Hal fell
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: in love. And I'm like, this bitch looks like Conrad
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: Murray on trial. Ain't been able to force one tear
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: out of her face. This entire... He's trying to tell
- 2:12:59Speaker 2: this sob story about... oh, we were in love, and
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: I can't believe he's gone. I'm like, you look like
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: you want to cry on cue, but can't. I don't
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: know if this is a you problem or the actor's problem.
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: It seems so far out.
- 2:13:12Speaker 5: She didn't even cry when her dad died. That is impersonal.
- 2:13:14Speaker 5: She knew Zoe needed to go, that's why.
- 2:13:16Speaker 4: But that's what I'm saying.
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: She was more playing the role of like, I'm doing
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: this for Zoe, but really, I don't know what the
- 2:13:29Speaker 1: fuck I'm doing in this town, but just keeping shit quiet.
- 2:13:33Speaker 1: That's all I'm... Some go down, call the sheriff. I
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: gotta stop making my meatloaf and go handle this.
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: Why did Hal's voicemail not work, or the voice note
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: he left not work for the cube, but then the
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: recording coming from the shit talk?
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: I think it was by chance what the recording said.
- 2:13:54Speaker 1: Or what Hallegram actually said. Not so much the whole
- 2:13:58Speaker 1: buttercup line. But that's episode seven.
- 2:14:03Speaker 2: Keep that but but also you've been living amongst the
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: people who you hurt for how long and nobody came
- 2:14:09Speaker 2: and killed you sooner like they just yeah people slam
- 2:14:12Speaker 2: doors in his face they didn't shoot everyone had a
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: gun it looked like the end of that south park
- 2:14:17Speaker 2: season we're just like why didn't we have these sooner
- 2:14:19Speaker 2: like literally everyone was packing heat you're telling me nobody
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: was like how jordan's in town and also you left
- 2:14:25Speaker 2: that big ass mansion to come live in this tiny
- 2:14:28Speaker 2: ass shack.
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: No, I'm just seeing Spartan. He was like, hey. Oh,
- 2:14:34Speaker 1: he didn't. Oh, okay. I was like, wait, Spartan ain't here?
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: He's talking about at the job. I was like, okay. But, yeah, I,
- 2:14:47Speaker 1: which is leading into seven. We're going to talk about
- 2:14:49Speaker 1: seven on Thursday. But there's a lot that's going on. Like,
- 2:14:55Speaker 1: the minute they wrap up the bow on one, I
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: don't even want to say plot line. but one scenario
- 2:15:03Speaker 1: of things, there's a whole nother thing that's unfolding. And
- 2:15:06Speaker 1: we're just like, yo, what do you mean? And like
- 2:15:11Speaker 1: guy tells him, he's like, yeah, his ring is decommissioned.
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:15:15Speaker 1: Crafted him a new one.
- 2:15:17Speaker 5: It feels like the underlying theme for all of this
- 2:15:19Speaker 5: or bad guy has been the guardians or the green
- 2:15:23Speaker 5: lantern core itself. That's what feels.
- 2:15:26Speaker 1: Like it's flawed. It's a flaw. It's a flawed system.
- 2:15:30Speaker 1: Because the guardians are flawed. They don't think they are.
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: Because even when John gave that ring back, he was like,
- 2:15:38Speaker 1: and he got the crystallized heart and gave it to Leon.
- 2:15:42Speaker 1: He was like, well, she was like, what's in the bag?
- 2:15:44Speaker 1: Your sins. Deal with it. And she's so much as like, oh,
- 2:15:52Speaker 1: we make mistakes. Bitch, you killed. Millions possibly with these things.
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: What are you talking about? How many other planets has
- 2:16:01Speaker 2: a John on it is my question. Are y'all going
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: planet to planet like Star-Lord's dad and just set up
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: the same circumstances and let's see how this plays out?
- 2:16:10Speaker 2: I would not be shocked at that being a future
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: story of like, oh, they literally did this to me
- 2:16:17Speaker 2: and I didn't turn out like this.
- 2:16:19Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to say that. He didn't want
- 2:16:22Speaker 5: that mansion. It was gifted to him, but he didn't
- 2:16:24Speaker 5: really want it. I want to know where the fucking
- 2:16:26Speaker 5: plant came from. That's my whole shit.
- 2:16:28Speaker 1: Where did the plant come from?
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: I mean, he is a space explorer and there is
- 2:16:33Speaker 2: all kinds of crazy shit. For all we know, that's
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: a poison ivy, baby. Maybe that's... What is the plant's...
- 2:16:39Speaker 2: What is J.B. Spoo's name? Oh, Frank?
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: Maybe that's Frank.
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: Maybe that's Frank's kid. I was waiting on it to
- 2:16:48Speaker 2: be named. I was like, please be Frank because that
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: is such a hilarious setup if that's him.
- 2:16:54Speaker 1: But see, that's the thing. Like Dark Elite said, that
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: mansion was empty. It looked nice, but it was empty.
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: But that ran-down shack he had, he had all those
- 2:17:08Speaker 1: affirmations and everything. Because Hal said it. He said, doing
- 2:17:11Speaker 1: this job, you're alone. You have no one. And when
- 2:17:17Speaker 1: John was asking him about it, when they were tunneling
- 2:17:19Speaker 1: through the Klan bunker, and he said, oh, my dad died.
- 2:17:25Speaker 1: And he's like, and your mom? Oh, she died of cancer.
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: He has no one. Wait, so he's like, so I
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: already have, I'm an orphan, I'm quote unquote an orphan,
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: so I don't have any ties. You know, so he said,
- 2:17:42Speaker 1: and you're just like, wow, you essentially would be alone
- 2:17:47Speaker 1: doing that job because of the rules. and the regulations
- 2:17:50Speaker 1: that the guardians are giving you. You can't do this.
- 2:17:54Speaker 1: That's why he kept going against the code. I'm from Earth.
- 2:18:00Speaker 5: And who were they to stop him?
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:18:02Speaker 5: At no turn have they ever stopped him.
- 2:18:04Speaker 1: You gifted me a ring to protect people, but you
- 2:18:08Speaker 1: want me to, This is my sector. You said this
- 2:18:12Speaker 1: is my sector. Earth is part of my sector. You're
- 2:18:16Speaker 1: telling me not to protect the people of Earth? Extraterrestrial threats.
- 2:18:22Speaker 1: There's stuff I can help. I'm going against the grain.
- 2:18:27Speaker 2: Only thing he seemed to follow was not killing because
- 2:18:30Speaker 2: he definitely wanted Zoe alive to rub in their faces
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: and be like, now clean your shit up. You're welcome. Again. So.
- 2:18:39Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, because we got episode
- 2:18:43Speaker 1: 7 on Thursday, for those that missed it, hey kids,
- 2:18:48Speaker 1: your favorite breakfast pastries are back. With famous flavors such
- 2:18:52Speaker 1: as Jack Daniels and tossed salad and scrambled eggs, we
- 2:18:55Speaker 1: now have Barely There Vanilla, the pop start that is
- 2:18:59Speaker 1: practically not there. You can almost taste it. You can
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: almost see it. You can almost enjoy it. Gone for
- 2:19:07Speaker 1: 90 days? No problem. Still on the roll call? That's
- 2:19:12Speaker 1: the spirit. And when it's time to vote? Who needs
- 2:19:17Speaker 1: a flavor when you've got a voting record? Barely there, Vanilla.
- 2:19:21Speaker 1: You can almost believe it's breakfast. The 90-day absence and
- 2:19:25Speaker 1: voting references should be verified against a specific congressman's documented
- 2:19:29Speaker 1: record before release. And here we go. Right out the gate.
- 2:19:38Speaker 1: You know how funny it was?
- 2:19:40Speaker 6: I remember that our gang episode and Spanky said.
- 2:19:44Speaker 1: I don't like mush. Now, Lady Mandalore, I told you
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: we were coming out the gate.
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
- 2:19:55Speaker 1: I'm taking a cue from you. I'm releasing all the ammo.
- 2:19:59Speaker 1: Don't put that on me. Don't put that on me, sir.
- 2:20:06Speaker 5: I would have made it an orange Pop-Tart.
- 2:20:07Speaker 1: The other two I'm working on, if I get the time,
- 2:20:09Speaker 1: those other two are going to be fine.
- 2:20:10Speaker 2: We've been hanging out at Kira's over the break, if
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: y'all haven't seen the streams.
- 2:20:18Speaker 1: So, since we're here now, we're close.
- 2:20:21Speaker 5: Tastes like steamed broccoli. I saw that from Dark Elite.
- 2:20:28Speaker 5: Tastes like steamed carrots. Baby food.
- 2:20:32Speaker 1: Tastes like vegetable.
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: Nom, nom, nom. Oh my God.
- 2:20:37Speaker 1: Lady Mandalore. Talk to the people.
- 2:20:39Speaker 4: What it is.

- 2:21:57Speaker 5: I don't want to play a scary game, but.
- 2:21:59Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. Play Little Nightmares. You'll be fine.
- 2:22:03Speaker 1: I think that's one of Lainey's favorites.
- 2:22:05Speaker 5: I don't want to play. I got to play a real.
- 2:22:08Speaker 5: Those are scary enough. I got to play a real
- 2:22:12Speaker 5: scary game.
- 2:22:14Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Tafari.
- 2:22:19Speaker 2: Yeah, still making skits, still streaming. I'm working on a
- 2:22:23Speaker 2: new video, but I have to keep pushing it back
- 2:22:25Speaker 2: because the script keeps changing because life keeps changing.
- 2:22:28Speaker 1: You can catch me. You can.
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: Nah, man, I've been trying to write this damn Grim
- 2:22:32Speaker 2: Reaper joke, and then it's like, well, fuck, now I
- 2:22:34Speaker 2: gotta work in a new name, because... This motherfucker is
- 2:22:38Speaker 2: hitting all the wrong targets. Yeah, so be on the
- 2:22:42Speaker 2: lookout for that, hopefully by the 1st of October when
- 2:22:44Speaker 2: I remind you all rent is due. You can catch
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: me here on all platforms. You can also catch me here-gaming.

- 2:22:58Speaker 2: Outlast on Friday. I was recently allowed to borrow a
- 2:23:02Speaker 2: copy of Luigi's Mansion. I'll be running through. I have
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: wolverine that i picked up today thank you to my
- 2:23:08Speaker 2: generous people who watch me play things i also and
- 2:23:13Speaker 2: grab my little black book so there's some things in
- 2:23:15Speaker 2: here um dead space and other stuff now before we
- 2:23:20Speaker 2: bring out the man of god known as the reverend
- 2:23:24Speaker 2: navy uh no but like seriously um right after No,
- 2:23:29Speaker 2: but seriously, I want to let Navy speak his piece
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: because right after we went off air last time, shout
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: out Lizzie who brought it to our attention. Especially given
- 2:23:38Speaker 2: the shit going on this week. There was a situation
- 2:23:40Speaker 2: brought to our attention. Navy made a video. I shared it.
- 2:23:45Speaker 2: That person saw it, which bought the community of time
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: to rally around that person. Y'all helped us potentially cause
- 2:23:54Speaker 2: or prevent temporary feelings from becoming a permanent action, so
- 2:23:58Speaker 2: just Kudos to everybody involved.
- 2:24:00Speaker 1: Kudos, Unc.
- 2:24:01Speaker 2: Just glad that we have fostered a community where, most importantly,
- 2:24:04Speaker 2: y'all saw something, so y'all said something. And that's just
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: what we talk about. That's what we mean when we
- 2:24:10Speaker 2: talk about looking out for each other, because we are
- 2:24:12Speaker 2: all we have in these spaces. Take it away, Rev.
- 2:24:16Speaker 4: Oh, I don't... Well.
- 2:24:20Speaker 2: If and when we do the transition, Captain.
- 2:24:23Speaker 5: Cap said he had to step away for two seconds.
- 2:24:26Speaker 2: I was doing a good setup, too. Keep going.
- 2:24:29Speaker 4: He don't ask to do the transition.
- 2:24:31Speaker 2: Okay, well, yeah. Thank y'all for bringing that to our
- 2:24:34Speaker 2: attention and actually potentially saving a life that was actually...
- 2:24:38Speaker 2: I appreciate that y'all felt comfortable enough turning to us
- 2:24:42Speaker 2: in a moment like that and the fact that we
- 2:24:44Speaker 2: have fostered People who can look at us that way
- 2:24:46Speaker 2: in a community that we can in turn look at
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: in the same light and just be continue to be
- 2:24:53Speaker 2: that village. It is if we laugh and goof and
- 2:24:57Speaker 2: joke a lot here. But like in all seriousness, man,
- 2:24:59Speaker 2: we we very much love you all for watching us
- 2:25:01Speaker 2: and we want to make sure everybody is OK.
- 2:25:03Speaker 1: Oh, what is it?
- 2:25:08Speaker 5: Don't let the bastards get you down.
- 2:25:10Speaker 1: Nope.
- 2:25:10Speaker 2: Basically, I think it was just life overall getting to...
- 2:25:14Speaker 2: I don't want to put their stuff out there, but
- 2:25:15Speaker 2: I think life was just getting to life on this person.
- 2:25:19Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody reached him, so Lizzie messaged me,
- 2:25:22Speaker 2: and I think Ann Navy was like, hey, if any
- 2:25:24Speaker 2: of y'all can get in touch with this individual. I tried.
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: Didn't work. But then Navy made his post, and then
- 2:25:31Speaker 2: she saw it through my page, which I guess by
- 2:25:34Speaker 2: the time she got through, her comments got flooded. It
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: was like, hey, can you talk to us? Or... Can
- 2:25:40Speaker 2: we do anything for you? And she's actually in a
- 2:25:44Speaker 2: much better space now. So she is, it's not just
- 2:25:49Speaker 2: the two to four hours we're on here. We are
- 2:25:51Speaker 2: very much these people in real life.
- 2:25:55Speaker 6: It's, it's, it's always heartening when you see the community
- 2:25:58Speaker 6: come together. We put our petty grievances aside and the, the, the,
- 2:26:03Speaker 6: the insults and the, and just the hating just long
- 2:26:08Speaker 6: enough to understand that we're still human underneath.
- 2:26:11Speaker 4: All of this finery that we regale ourself in.
- 2:26:15Speaker 6: And it's always good to see the genuine light of
- 2:26:19Speaker 6: humanity pop up.
- 2:26:20Speaker 4: I don't know. Oh, I got here with transitions.
- 2:26:24Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:26:25Speaker 4: It's always good to see humanity come out. And, and
- 2:26:27Speaker 4: I will tell this, and I've been saying this here lately,
- 2:26:29Speaker 4: and I've been doing some videos as here as of late,
- 2:26:34Speaker 4: protect your humanity.
- 2:26:36Speaker 1: Peace.
- 2:26:37Speaker 4: Protect your energy. Protect your peace. Do not let just
- 2:26:40Speaker 4: anybody inside of your sanctum sanctorum. You have a village.
- 2:26:44Speaker 6: You have a chosen family that you have cultivated and
- 2:26:49Speaker 6: brought together. And I'm blessed for the people that I
- 2:26:51Speaker 6: brought together. This incredible group of folks that I call family, friends,
- 2:26:56Speaker 6: and mutuals all day, every day. We have this thing.
- 2:26:59Speaker 6: We will reach out to each other anytime we need anything.
- 2:27:02Speaker 6: We also have our senses to know, hey, Lady Mandalore
- 2:27:06Speaker 6: is going through something.
- 2:27:07Speaker 4: Let me check in on her and see if she's OK.
- 2:27:09Speaker 6: Hey, Tafar, I haven't heard from him. Let me see
- 2:27:11Speaker 6: what's going on with him. You have people in your
- 2:27:14Speaker 6: circle that are like that. They treat you that way.
- 2:27:17Speaker 4: Return that.
- 2:27:18Speaker 6: OK, because in this day and age, mental health is
- 2:27:21Speaker 6: challenged beyond all measure. So we got to keep it together.
- 2:27:26Speaker 6: We got to keep it together.
- 2:27:27Speaker 5: It's the fucking squid games of mental health right now.
- 2:27:31Speaker 4: That part. We don't want it to be the battle
- 2:27:33Speaker 4: royale of emotions right now.
- 2:27:35Speaker 1: Especially in our community where the outside world is like,
- 2:27:40Speaker 1: look here, we have to turn around and say, fuck you.
- 2:27:45Speaker 2: Exactly. Protect each other. Protect each other.
- 2:27:49Speaker 1: Protect yourself.
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: Protect each other, yourself, your brothers, your sisters, especially black women.
- 2:27:56Speaker 2: It's very much get behind me right now. It's So
- 2:28:00Speaker 2: I'm glad we could rally around that sister in time.
- 2:28:03Speaker 1: Yes, yes.

- 2:28:08Speaker 6: Well, if you are that weird and you want to
- 2:28:10Speaker 6: see what I'm doing, which makes you sort of a masochist,
- 2:28:13Speaker 6: I'm just kidding.
- 2:28:14Speaker 5: Didn't we just say not to be self-goddamn deprecating?
- 2:28:17Speaker 4: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- 2:28:19Speaker 2: What did we just say? I did say beyond the jokes,
