Latest / My Third Place Pod / Episode 138 - GLOW S2E2 - Candy of the Year
Transcript
- 0:01Boy am I glad to be back to normal again.
- 0:04My apologies to everyone that was hoping for what may have
- 0:07been a short but good Royal Rumble predictions episode last
- 0:11week, but I was under the weather.
- 0:15Truth be told, last Sunday I ate some bad stuff and next thing
- 0:21you know, I'm hugging the toilet for the next week.
- 0:28It was worse than drinking expired lemon juice.
- 0:32Oh, you never drank expired lemon juice.
- 0:35It believe me, it's it's bad. It's very, very bad.
- 0:41No, this this was something else.
- 0:44This was something entirely that I did not expect would ever
- 0:48happen to me. This was the stomach flu.
- 0:51Let's just say it was a rough week, and I'm glad it got better
- 0:55by Friday. Since the 10 days of silence, a
- 1:01lot has happened. I for one could not get to enjoy
- 1:06the last two days that I had off for Tumblr Live.
- 1:10Although I did get to say farewell to some of the people,
- 1:16others thought that I may have been ignoring them.
- 1:19I'm not going to tell anyone that I felt sick to my stomach,
- 1:25although I should have with the massive amounts of times I got
- 1:29to hear. Are you OK?
- 1:32Do you want to talk? Is everything OK?
- 1:34It's going to be OK. We're going to survive this.
- 1:39No, I'm not crying. My heart fucking hurts.
- 1:43It hurts. It hurts.
- 1:46My chest hurts. My body hurts.
- 1:48I'm in tears because my stomach hurt and I was regurgitating.
- 1:53Yeah, never mind. You don't want to know.
- 1:59They thought I was sweating. While I was sweating, they
- 2:02thought I was crying about an app leaving, and I just kept
- 2:06saying no, please stop talking. My body hurts, OK?
- 2:13I was in pain. My insides.
- 2:17Let's just say my insides were boiling like a witch's cauldron
- 2:23bubbling up with so many ingredients.
- 2:27It also didn't help that on that Monday night, Tumblr Live had
- 2:31finished its last contest. Oh my God, you know what's the
- 2:37worst part? Over in the little corner, right
- 2:40over there was a countdown on when or what time that would
- 2:48end. But Eva, why is that bad?
- 2:57OK, listen, have you ever been so stressed out and anxious that
- 3:02in the pit of your stomach and and and right there on the pit
- 3:07of your stomach everything starts to make noises?
- 3:11Like there was so much noise down there and it was hard to
- 3:18feel comfortable, to feel any kind of, I don't know is I was
- 3:29uncomfortable and I had a countdown right in my face.
- 3:32OK, like right there, right in my face.
- 3:38I would be, I was sometimes. Sometimes I would be talking to
- 3:43friends to like, ignore the countdown, just look at the
- 3:46chat, ignore the countdown. But after they would stop, I
- 3:55figured they left, which would have me going like crap.
- 3:59I'm looking back at the clock. The pain would come back.
- 4:05That was a wreck. I came.
- 4:09I came on to hang out with friends or for maybe two hours
- 4:13and enjoy the last of those in the contest to see if I place
- 4:17and maybe I get to cash out again, $200 didn't work last
- 4:22time and I get this countdown that's always there but I never
- 4:29cared for never. I never cared about the
- 4:34countdown, but I end up caring about this one.
- 4:39What? Because it's right in my face
- 4:41and I'm hurting and I'm like, Oh my God, if that countdown
- 4:44reaches 0 or, you know, you need to go to the bathroom on your
- 4:50way home, you're almost home. Like, right when you see your
- 4:53house, right there, right around the corner, right when you see
- 4:56your house, you turn the corner and you're almost there.
- 5:00And then you feel it in the pit of your stomach.
- 5:02Oh shit, I got to go to the bathroom now I have to go.
- 5:06I'm going to pee in my pants if I don't get out of this fucking
- 5:08car and go to the bathroom. And that was me during the
- 5:12countdown, right as it was getting to 10 minutes.
- 5:16Oh my God, my stomach is killing me.
- 5:21I'm going to go. I'm going to go.
- 5:24I'm going to go. It was the last contest live
- 5:30after I played The Final Countdown one too many times by
- 5:35Europe. By the way, the contest ended.
- 5:38I said my farewells ended and went to sleep.
- 5:42Oh boy, until the next day. I didn't sleep well.
- 5:47I kept waking up. It was it felt like COVID all
- 5:49over again and I just couldn't sleep.
- 5:57So Tuesday I tried telling everyone that I will be on
- 6:00Tiktok from now on. I'll stop by to support them,
- 6:04but I'm going back home. The live ended too early and
- 6:09everyone freaked out. I went on Tiktok to hang out for
- 6:15a bit, but but you could tell I was still dealing with the
- 6:18stomach flu and so I was told by a few friends in the chat, a few
- 6:27other people that I didn't know anything about.
- 6:29Everybody in the chat, they all care.
- 6:31They care. TikTok, life cares.
- 6:33I understand. I was told to go to sleep and
- 6:36not come back until I felt better.
- 6:44Wait, is this the app I was avoiding all year?
- 6:47Wasn't I saying that this app was toxic and problematic all
- 6:51year long? And ghosting?
- 6:54It was good for me in the long run.
- 6:57Yet here I am, coming back like it's home and these are my
- 7:04family. These are my people.
- 7:08Huh. I could have done audio, but I
- 7:13didn't. Back in 2020, when President
- 7:15Trump was bowing to get rid of TikTok, apparently a lot of
- 7:19people left because they thought it was going to actually happen
- 7:24when and certainly didn't happen.
- 7:28Of course, they all came back with an audio.
- 7:34There's this audio. Hey hey how you doing?
- 7:45And it's basically describing them as bringing back their
- 7:49suitcase and moving right back in like nothing even happened.
- 7:56But it did. I could have done this one, but
- 7:59instead I chose to do something different.
- 8:03After 10 year absence from WE Hell Froze Over as I say, and CM
- 8:07Punk came back as Survivor Series.
- 8:09The next time we saw Punk was on Raw, telling the fans that he
- 8:13was home. Yes, I went with that one.
- 8:16I'm sorry. I know it was cheesy, I get it.
- 8:21But as a wrestling fan you would get it too.
- 8:24I too related to Punk. Leave a place where you know
- 8:28you're being overlooked and not respected.
- 8:31Go elsewhere and shit on everyone and then come back when
- 8:35you can't find anyone else. But he said.
- 8:38As he said in that promo, I'm not here to make friends, I'm
- 8:41here to make money. That is the only difference that
- 8:46I can see between myself and the chick magnet.
- 8:50I have a lot of friends here on TikTok and as told and as I told
- 8:55someone who came into my life a few days ago and asked me if I
- 8:58was going anywhere else, why start over somewhere?
- 9:01You're just going to be overlooked when you have a niche
- 9:05right here. See, I'm so right.
- 9:12Niche. I'm so like, I I love, I love
- 9:17this up so much. The part where niche.
- 9:20I just keep thinking of Eric from Boy Meets World saying
- 9:23niece instead. Why start over somewhere where
- 9:26you're just going to be overlooked when you have a niece
- 9:29right here anyway? I get to meet me, the POF, the
- 9:35Clapper and the you now, but I'm happy here with my friends, with
- 9:41people that I actually like. I am not shitting on those apps.
- 9:48They have great people. If you're soaring or becoming a
- 9:52top batch, they're good for you. I'm not good at the social
- 9:57climbing things I can tell, but my whole year on Tumblr live.
- 10:02But what I am good at is this. Making content OK.
- 10:08Making content sounds bad, doesn't it?
- 10:14Making content on TikTok. How's that?
- 10:16How's that? Better.
- 10:17Better, yeah. Doing lip syncing videos with
- 10:20people that are friends or potentially going to be my
- 10:22friends. Having fun.
- 10:25I am thankful and grateful for the opportunity I had on Tumblr
- 10:30Live. I grew.
- 10:32I I built up confidence. I built up a following, and that
- 10:36following came with me. Follow up behavior.
- 10:43Let's see how we can make that grow on TikTok.
- 10:46A troll called me that. It was a joke.
- 10:49It became a Ming among friends. I turned it into a shirt.
- 10:53Sold it. Here we are.
- 10:55Look at us. Look at us now.
- 10:59Who would have sought welcome back my father's
- 11:46behavior squad? We have officially been kicked
- 11:49out of tunder live and are officially taken up residency on
- 11:54TikTok Live instead. So now I can officially say that
- 11:58I am still evil and we are coming to you from under the
- 12:03apron of Tiktok Live. I said I was grateful for the
- 12:08exposure on Tumblr Live. I left this place to become
- 12:11somebody or grow elsewhere, and I'm grateful for a lot of other
- 12:15things. Let's not pretend that more
- 12:17growth isn't going to happen here.
- 12:20Season three, everybody. Let's go.
- 12:25Let's just say we're Buffy the Vampire Slayer moving to a new
- 12:29network from the WB to UPN, from the small facilities of Tumblr
- 12:33Live to the time of TikTok Live. Oh yeah, brother, great.
- 12:43I just compared myself to Buffy. I have no problems at all, but
- 12:47let's just see how much trouble we can get into.
- 12:54I don't want to ignore the elephant in the room, so let's
- 12:57talk a little bit about the Royal Rumble.
- 13:01I say a little bit because I felt a bit off and I only want
- 13:04to talk about two matches. Two things.
- 13:07Of course we're going to skip the middle matches.
- 13:11Kevin Omen versus Paul Logan, which ended in a DQ.
- 13:15Paul Logan. I'm sorry, Logan Paul.
- 13:17I don't even know his fucking name.
- 13:18I don't care. Logan Paul hasn't defended the
- 13:20US Championship since he won it back in November against Rey
- 13:22Mysterio. And of course we all knew Roman
- 13:24Reigns. Roman Reigns was going to come
- 13:27out the winner of this fatal 4 way match against Orton Andy
- 13:31Orton LA nine major styles with the help of Solo Sakoa.
- 13:36Well let's talk about the the Roy Rumble matches.
- 13:40The first match should have been the main event, we all know that
- 13:43because of the surprise entrance, but I say that every
- 13:46year. I said that last year too and
- 13:49the year before, Natalia came out at #1 and returning.
- 13:53Naomi came out at #2, who we all know was in TNA while she was
- 13:57gone. Immediately the surprise started
- 14:00happening with the number 5 entrant, the TNA Knockout
- 14:03Champion Jordan Grace, who did such an amazing job in the ring
- 14:08and say later that this isn't over with any of the women in
- 14:11the ring, but got unfortunately thrown out by Bianca Bel Air.
- 14:16Another awesome in this thing in this match and the men's Royal
- 14:19Rumble was that they started showing who has been the ring
- 14:22the longest, moving fast, moving right along to #17 Zelena Vega
- 14:30who is always cosplaying or wearing an awesome outfit.
- 14:33This time it was Mercy from Overwatch inspired.
- 14:38Thanks to everyone on Twitter for letting me know that I
- 14:41appreciate you guys. Oh it it looks like this one on
- 14:48Android on this other game. No, it's Mercy from Overwatch.
- 14:54Relax, relax. Calm down, chill, chill.
- 15:02Calm down. #24 was supposed to be Valhalla, but from behind our
- 15:06truth sneaks by to slide in the ring and wonder where all the
- 15:10men were. He even thought the woman's
- 15:14Royal Rumble was supposed to be the minivan.
- 15:19Hey, Strew speaks the truth, right?
- 15:24Unfortunately for him and I just threw him out.
- 15:29Yeah, take it easy Twitter. Take it easy.
- 15:32Adam appeared, ordered Truth to leave and allowed Valhalla to
- 15:35get in the ring. Only he kicked out right away
- 15:37and go after Truth #2729 are two entrants from NXT, Roxanne Perez
- 15:43and Tiffany Stratton, showing why they belong and soon will be
- 15:47on the main roster. #28 however, was a was a surprise for many.
- 15:53Former AWTVS champion Jake Cargill came out and was
- 15:55featured as a MASSIVE *. You know, more massive than she
- 16:00ever was on a WI believe. But anyway, you can't say that
- 16:04either 'cause then somebody else gets mad.
- 16:09She lifted NIA Jax and threw her over the top.
- 16:12Rope #30 was a returning Lib Morgan who for the second year
- 16:17in a row came out in the Christina Aguilera from The
- 16:20Dirty music video inspired clothing.
- 16:24Dirty. There was a lot of big moments
- 16:27in the women's rumble, but to me what stuck out the most was Jay
- 16:31Cargill and Bianca Bellaire having a stare down but not
- 16:35touching each other until a possible match somewhere along
- 16:38the road. Winner of the match was Bailey,
- 16:44who came out at #3 and that lasted 63 minutes and three
- 16:47seconds, beating Rio Ripley's record from last year of 61
- 16:51minutes and eight seconds from the number one entry.
- 16:55As for the men's Royal Rumble, it was said the reason why it
- 17:01fell so fast was because the woman ran to the ring and didn't
- 17:03take their time. The men took their time to get
- 17:06in the ring. Case in point, Omaz.
- 17:11Omaz took his sweet ass time to get in the ring.
- 17:17Number one entry went to Jay USO and mirroring his wife Naomi's
- 17:21number two entry was Jimmy USO. Of course they went straight to
- 17:25work against each other. Another return came in the form
- 17:28of Andrade. I tweeted Cien which was his
- 17:31former name on NXT Andrade Cien Almas after we get the 1st super
- 17:36prize. NXT wrestlers are Carmelo Hayes.
- 17:40Everyone had their favorite moment.
- 17:41Mine came in the form of #7 Santos, Escobar, #9 Dominic, and
- 17:47#10 carlito. All four of these men
- 17:51represented my people, MI gente. The last time this many were
- 17:58Latino wrestlers were in the ring was at the 1997 Royal
- 18:02Rumble which had Lucha dores from AAA Pierrot Divernetiko,
- 18:10Latin Lover and Mil Mascaras who didn't understand the rules of
- 18:14the Rumble and this basically eliminated himself by flying
- 18:17over the top rope. Yahweh #20 went to the other NXT
- 18:24star Braun Breaker who came in and just broke everyone with
- 18:30Spears. Again, I can't wait for him to
- 18:34show up on the main roster, hopefully soon rather than the
- 18:38night after Wrestle Mania 40, hopefully soon #21 was the
- 18:45returning Omaz who had a staredown with Bron, but that
- 18:48barely lasted. AS22 came from Pat McAfee who
- 18:52was sitting on commentary, went in the ring and saw how big Omaz
- 18:55was and then left. Was that supposed to be
- 18:59someone's spot? Perhaps you know he's Incarnate.
- 19:03Anyway, #24 went to our Truth, who didn't even get in the ring
- 19:07until he was tagged by Dom. He thought it was A tag team
- 19:14match and even then, as soon as he did, he started doing John
- 19:17Cena's You Can't See Me 5 Knuckle Shuffle move, 27 was for
- 19:26CM Punk and 30 went to Sami Zayn.
- 19:30But I guess we were all expecting The Rock since this
- 19:33little speech about sitting at the head of the table.
- 19:37Turns out he meant the TKO Group Holdings table as he's now a
- 19:42member of the board. I heard Brown replace Brock.
- 19:47Maybe. Maybe.
- 19:49Maybe. OK, sure.
- 19:51So you mean to tell me Dominic would have thrown Brock out?
- 19:56OK, the last two in the ring were CM Punk and Cody Rhodes,
- 19:59who took probably 5 minutes to try to take each other out.
- 20:03CM Punk wink at the camera and hit Cody with a pedigree.
- 20:08Then he tried hitting a knee to the face but Cody grabbed onto
- 20:10it only to get him thrown out of the ring.
- 20:15Cody Rhodes wins and he goes on to WrestleMania for it to try
- 20:18and finish the story again. Before I end this, two things.
- 20:23Number one, CM Punk came back to the Rumble and reports are now
- 20:26saying he is out with a torn tricep.
- 20:30And two, Cody Rose has this to say an.
- 20:33Apology. I'm sorry about what happened at
- 20:39WrestleMania 39, but we are going to WrestleMania 40.
- 20:59It's been a long night. I won't keep you here.
- 21:01An amazing show, an amazing crew, an amazing production.
- 21:06When I come to terrible, when I come to Saint Pete, sometimes I
- 21:10try and stay and keep to myself. And the reason is this is Dusty
- 21:17territorial. So I thank you very much for
- 21:27making it Cody territory. I love you guys all so much.
- 21:31Have a great night and I'll see you next time.
- 21:35Great night, guys. Thank you.

- 22:58that was set in the 80s. At times I will have bits of
- 23:02trivia here and there, but times that have changed with

- 23:16what I saw of the episode. Episode 133 is the episode where
- 23:20I talk about the first season and pilot episode of GLOW.
- 23:22If you want to go back and listen to past episodes, this
- 23:28week's episode is titled Candy of the Year Synopsis.
- 23:32The ladies get creative when Sam forces them to compete for
- 23:35airtime. Debbie discovers the producer
- 23:38life isn't quite what she'd hope.
- 23:41Written by Nick Jones, who was also producer on Orange Is the
- 23:43New Black and Dualo, directed by Mike A Mark, a burly director
- 23:49and producer known for Glow, Orange is the New Black, Weeds,
- 23:53Murder, She Wrote, and Simon and Simon.
- 23:56He has also worked on a number of TV movies of the week,
- 23:59including Mrs. Santa Claus and Hiroshima Out of the Yashes.
- 24:03Mark directed the series finale of Orange Is the New Black and
- 24:05has received 4 Emmy nominations and it produces Guild of America
- 24:09Award. The group arrived at the gym and
- 24:17Jenny quietly uses a walkie-talkie to tell Ruth that
- 24:19there are four late arrivals. She replied to send them to the
- 24:24front row on the left. Inside the ring, the beat down
- 24:28bees knock down Sheila. The she wolf bashed us to call
- 24:33the ASPCA that it's animal cruelty.
- 24:37Ruth tries to stop a woman from going backstage, then sees that
- 24:41it's Justine. They give each other a hey
- 24:45moment and Justine moves on. As the match continues, game
- 24:50gives direction to the camera, Russell telling him to turn on
- 24:53to the audience. He tells him in another camera
- 24:56at field to find some energized faces.
- 24:58They can't. They're all bored out of their
- 25:00heads. In the ring, Keith reminds
- 25:03Sheila on the ground that she's supposed to lose the match.
- 25:07She replies that she'll only go when her time, and he tells her
- 25:11that it is. She growls next down dawn and
- 25:16rises. Sam asked why the match is not
- 25:20over yet. He turns, sees Justine, and
- 25:22tells her he's working. She tells him she can't find her
- 25:26house key. He says in the jacket on the
- 25:29chair. Back in the ring Sheila
- 25:32finished. Finally stays down and Keith
- 25:34does a fast count to finish the match.
- 25:36Dash declares the Biddies, the winners a victory for the old
- 25:40and age 1. Finally glimmer of hope before
- 25:44they're both 6 feet under. Justine asks Sam if he's coming
- 25:48home for dinner, telling him there's no food in the house.
- 25:51He tells her to take out $50.00. Out of the wallet.
- 25:54She comments that it's a lot and she'll use the extra on drugs.
- 25:58Sure, why not? Ruth comes in saying that she
- 26:02wanted to make sure Justine found Sam.
- 26:05She sees Justine and comments that she guesses she did.
- 26:08He asks what it is about live taping that they don't
- 26:12understand. Justine exits.
- 26:15Ruth asks if he wants her to do anything.
- 26:18Since she's not wrestling, he tells her assume he doesn't need
- 26:22anything and doesn't want to see her.
- 26:25She exits as well. As she heads back down, Russell
- 26:29asks her if it's just him or if the show is dragging hairy ass.
- 26:34She tells him it's harder than it looks, and he says it's
- 26:36better be if he puts his best wrestler in instead of punishing
- 26:40her for making a boss's title sequence, Bash introduces Devi
- 26:46Liberty Bell as a mother and a fighter.
- 26:49Root sighs and stares the glow title sequence comes on the
- 26:53screen. The group is watching this on a
- 26:56television back at the Hotel Bash as Liberty Bell, how it
- 27:00felt for her to win the crown fair and square, only for it to
- 27:04be stolen by Welfare Queen. Liberty Bell comments that we do
- 27:09not work to see the spoils go to freeloaders.
- 27:12She says that if Welfare Queen wants it, she'll have to fight
- 27:14her in a real match. Jenny asked if Debbie has better
- 27:18lighting than them now that she's a producer.
- 27:22Melrose calls it the internal glow that comes from power.
- 27:27Debbie joins the group as they all continue watching the
- 27:29program, now showing Welfare Queen lounging on a chair and
- 27:33sipping on a string. Debbie comments that said set
- 27:38looks way better on television than in person.
- 27:41Melrose and Jenny look annoyed that Debbie is there.
- 27:46Ruth gets up, apologizes to Debbie for her being punished
- 27:48for her mistake. She tells her that Sam is angry
- 27:52and that's why she had to fight Beirut instead of Zoya the
- 27:55destroyer. Debbie says that that isn't why
- 28:00Dirty Bell already vanquished, so it is now chasing well for a
- 28:03queen. She tells Ruth that she is in
- 28:05the center of the story, right? Agrees Ruth saying that the
- 28:11episode turned out great. She asked if Sam liked it.
- 28:17The scene cuts to Sam back in the gym, who tells the girls
- 28:21that Thursday show dragged. He says that the matches were
- 28:25too long, and when you cut away to the audience, it looks like
- 28:28they've just eaten A big Thanksgiving dinner.
- 28:31Bash interrupts, asking if he should sit for the girls in case
- 28:36he has any notes for the announcer or if he wants him to
- 28:39stay with him. What?
- 28:42He asks flatly. He tells the girls that from now
- 28:45on, instead of shooting 5 bloated matches that he has to
- 28:48Frankenstein together and editing, they're only going to
- 28:50film three. They'll audition them before the
- 28:54show and he'll pick the best 3. Ronda asked if this means
- 28:58they're not all going to be on television every week.
- 29:01He agreed that this is the case, saying that them all being on
- 29:04every week was Bash's idea. Bash explains that his original
- 29:07idea was going to be a cash bonus, but he looked into it and
- 29:12they can't afford it. Sam told him that fear is also a
- 29:16great incentive. Sam replies that what he said
- 29:19was competition, and Bash agrees that he did.
- 29:23Sheila says that she loves competition, that it turns out
- 29:26they're her, and encourages innovation.
- 29:31Sam agrees that this is great and tells the girls that they
- 29:34are certain matches he wants to see.
- 29:36At the week's audition, Welfare Queen still ducking Britannica
- 29:41versus Sheila, Beirut versus Machu, Liberty Bell versus
- 29:45Fortune Cookie, and Biddies versus Melrose.
- 29:49Ruth raises her hand. He answers, and she asks what he
- 29:52wants from her. He gives the match as Loya
- 29:55versus Junk Chain. Ruth tells him that Yolanda just
- 29:59started training and doesn't know any of the moves.
- 30:02Sam replies that she had moves when he saw her.
- 30:05She says that she has those moves, but she's level one with
- 30:08rustling. He replies that we, Yolanda's
- 30:11can do Spirit and Ruth will do anything Spirit.
- 30:14They'll figure something out and Carmen's there to help with the
- 30:18technical stuff. Everyone immediately starts
- 30:21calling for a session with Carmen, leading Ruth to gripe
- 30:24that it's not fair given that she and Yolanda need the most
- 30:28help. Sheila tells us that it's
- 30:30division based system, not a needs based 1.
- 30:34Melrose agrees that dibs is law. Besh tells Sam that he thought
- 30:39things went well and asked if they can get a team dog.
- 30:42Sam gives a flat no. He suggests A ferret and gets
- 30:46another No. Debbie comes into their office
- 30:50asking if they might like to include all the producers the
- 30:52next time they have a production meeting.
- 30:55He asked what she means that they had drinks.
- 30:58Bas says that they would have invited her, but she had to go
- 31:01home to her baby. She asked him to tell her that
- 31:04there's a meeting and she won't go home.
- 31:07Sam tells her that they have only have six days to get
- 31:10everything for the next episode. Video of four.
- 31:12It all starts over again and he doesn't have time to check in
- 31:15with her every time he needs to make something happen.
- 31:19She says that she'll make dinner tonight, They'll get bourbon,
- 31:23and they'll come over and they'll go over the show for the
- 31:26week. Sam turns to look at Bash, who
- 31:28signals that he doesn't want to. Sam tells her that he can't,
- 31:32that he has a kid. She asks if he's referring to
- 31:35the 16 year old he's letting run wild around Los Angeles 8:00,
- 31:40she says, your kid can't find babysitting.
- 31:43She leaves. Arie makes a costume, a vest to
- 31:49blow herself up. Jenny stares at her, and she
- 31:52explained that it's her concept to kill Beirut, who she hates.
- 31:56Out from the smoke, a new character arises.
- 31:59Phoenix with red and yellow face paint and hair.
- 32:03A living flame, Nimble, seductive, and ethically
- 32:07neutral. Huh.
- 32:10Red and yellow face paint. Hmm, that's not going to go well
- 32:15with someone else. Jenny tells her that she hopes
- 32:18Sam will say yes, and it sounds rad.
- 32:21BAE Ruth asked Don and Stacy to be what they're going to do, and
- 32:25their replies that they don't know yet.
- 32:27BAE Ruth turned to Sheila and Rhonda, but Sheila covered
- 32:30Rhonda's mouth, telling her not to tell them anything.
- 32:35Tammy sits down with Bash. She tells him that when she was
- 32:39audience coordinator for Family Feud, they crank up the air
- 32:42conditioning and it would really wake up the audience.
- 32:46Bash wonders if the gym even has any air conditioning.
- 32:49She tells him that you also need to make sure the girls don't get
- 32:52nipply. Debbie enters, telling Bash that
- 32:55she will see him tonight and that she's making fondue.
- 32:58She also gave Sam the address in case they want to carpool.
- 33:02Bash says he's read about carpooling, that Tammy is
- 33:06excited about the idea of a team dinner, boost morale or
- 33:10something like that. Debbie tells her that his
- 33:13directors and producers only, but they could make B do that.
- 33:16Next time Bash ask if the chairs are too comfortable.
- 33:26Are you struggling with a lack of access to captivating
- 33:29entertainment and media? Are you faced with constant
- 33:33judgement and ridicule from friends and family for your

- 35:53marble tops, amazing mouth watering fragrances fueled by
- 35:57lovely braided cotton wigs. Paper threads woven into every
- 36:02cotton wig for a clean, romantic, slow and consistent
- 36:06burn. Each candle is unique from the
- 36:08next as they are hand mixed and hand poured right in Grass
- 36:12Valley, CA. They use only coconut and soy
- 36:16waxes for a safer, cleaner and longer burn time.
- 36:20That's almost 72 hours. That's like binging on all 130
- 36:24episodes of the podcast. All fragrance blends have been
- 36:27heavily researched. Dark Recreations not only care
- 36:30about the look, fragrance, and quality of their candles and
- 36:33their other products, but also the effects they have in their
- 36:36customers homes. So go to darkrecreations.com.
- 36:40The link will be in the show notes.
- 36:48Next scene, Ruth and Yolanda have lunch.
- 36:50Yolanda asked how long it would take her to learn the move where
- 36:54she bends backwards and smashes her on the mat.
- 36:57Ruth realizes that she's talking about a suplex and tells her
- 37:00that it would take a long time. She tells her that they're not
- 37:04going to get on the show through wrestling alone.
- 37:06Yolanda suggests that she might wear a string bikini, and Ruth
- 37:09tells her she would never ask her to do that, that she finally
- 37:13left that life. Yolanda replies that Ruth Job is
- 37:18doing G rated girl on girl in a one piece, that she's not far
- 37:23from that life. Ruth replies that she's not a
- 37:27stripper, and Yolanda replies that she isn't either.
- 37:30Not full time, just once a week when her ex bartends she likes
- 37:36to torture her by taking her clothes off.
- 37:40Ruth asks if she likes girls as she replies that she loves
- 37:43girls. She says it's cool and ask if
- 37:46Sam knows. If she asks if Sam really needs
- 37:48to know about their personal life, if he knows about Ruth and
- 37:52that camera guy Russell. Ruth tells her that she's not
- 37:56having sex with Russell. Russell Yolanda tells her that
- 38:00Russell has been all over her and she needs to hit that.
- 38:03Ruth looks uncomfortable saying she doesn't want to.
- 38:06Yolanda tells her relax and put her shoulders down.
- 38:10Ruth tells her that she isn't uptight, she just takes her job
- 38:13seriously and she doesn't need to mix a carpools up playing.
- 38:17It's like that by run. DMC.
- 38:20Yolanda gets up and asks the driver to turn it up while she
- 38:24dances, or in this case, break dances.
- 38:29Ruth smiles in point, saying that this is the way they get on
- 38:31the show and asking if she can teach her that dance.
- 38:34You know, it, replies Yolanda released on March 12th, 1983.
- 38:40It's like that was run DMCS for a single.
- 38:43It became a club favorite along with popular B side Sucker MCS.
- 38:49The song was written by the group's rappers, Joseph Ron
- 38:52Simmons and Darrell DMC McDaniels, and their producer
- 38:56Larry Smith. There are no samples on the
- 38:59track, which was programmed on overheimed DMX synthesizer with
- 39:04local punctuations mixed in. It was Simmons, who came up with
- 39:08the idea for the song after studying Curtis Blow and getting
- 39:11encouragement from his older brother Russell, Blow's manager,
- 39:15who encouraged him to tell stories in his raps and give him
- 39:18a wide apparel and give them a wide appeal through universal
- 39:22themes. I thought I'd just tell people
- 39:25that the world is like and how to improve themselves, said Run
- 39:31this with the seed IDF for it's like that.
- 39:36This was a song that convinced Russell Simmons to work with the
- 39:38group. His younger brother Joseph had
- 39:40been pestering him for a while, but Russell instead insisted he
- 39:44finished high school before making a record run.
- 39:48And DMC, who hadn't yet teamed up with Jam Master J, worked
- 39:51together on It's Like That, with DMC adding some lyrics and hooks
- 39:55to run song. The pair graduated high school,
- 39:59went to separate colleges, run to LaGuardia Community College
- 40:02studying Mortuary science, and DMC to Saint John's University.
- 40:07Teaming up with Jim Master J, they recorded a song with
- 40:09Russell Rush Productions, getting lots of help from
- 40:12Russia's medical director Larry Smith.
- 40:16Russell was so impressed with the track that he sent them on
- 40:19his Fresh Fest tour with Nucleus and Houdini and helped them
- 40:23record their debut album. In 1998, house music producer
- 40:28Jason Nevins remix This and the new version became the most
- 40:32successful rap single in the UK, spending six weeks at #1 and
- 40:37topping the charts in 30 other countries, including Germany.
- 40:41Nevins received a standard fee of $5000 for his efforts.
- 40:46When this reached number one run, DMC became the first band
- 40:50to wait over 10 years, being between their first hit Walk
- 40:54This Way 1986 and their first chart Topper in the UK and j.com
- 41:01newjersey.com I'm assuming published an interview with the
- 41:05Nicaraguan born Shakira Barrera on August 9th, 2019, but we're
- 41:10gonna set out an audition tape and dancing real casting
- 41:13directors Jen Houston and Elizabeth Barnes just what they
- 41:16needed to cast yo-yo, a Mexican American former stripper.
- 41:21The character would be taking over the rustling persona of
- 41:24Junk Shane, a street wise rapper first played by Cherry Bang,
- 41:29said Seidel Noel. I was like, damn, she's the real
- 41:34deal, says Houston, who lives in Barona and grew up in West
- 41:37Caldwell. We usually have to do more than
- 41:40one round, but we didn't because Shakira nailed it.
- 41:44It was just the perfect blend of all my training and all my hard
- 41:47work, Barrera says. The choice?
- 41:50Raul, couldn't have arrived soon enough.
- 41:52Barrera had just signed with a new agency after months without
- 41:55representation. In the meantime, she taught
- 41:58Zumba classes and worked out five days a week with a team
- 42:01called Glow. The happy bit of foreshadowing
- 42:04is what Barrera calls her Glow Man, a term cast members use
- 42:08when the show covers us with real life.
- 42:13In no time, Barrera became one of the ensemble, mirroring the
- 42:16strong bonds between characters in the series.
- 42:20GLOW started with a ragtag group of out of work actors and other
- 42:24underemployed people who found their voices through the power
- 42:26of friendship in the theater of wrestling, Barrera says that's
- 42:30why so many people can relate to yo-yo and other wrestlers.
- 42:34We all feel like a misfit, like we don't fit in sometimes, she
- 42:38says. You're not the cool kid.
- 42:40We've all been there. We all have imposter syndrome at
- 42:43one point or another. I think watching the show and
- 42:46seeing these women go through these journeys and kind of
- 42:48winning, especially in the season, I think that that's
- 42:51really interesting to see people who don't think they belong and
- 42:55they're actually belonging. Barrera, who is a Nicaraguan
- 42:59American. This Heritage had been a fan of
- 43:02the first season and diverse cast, but thought Chloe needed a
- 43:06Latina character. At the Screen Actors Guild
- 43:09Awards jet January, where the show was nominated for Best
- 43:13Ensemble, Barrera wore the colors of the Nicaraguan flag,
- 43:16carrying a free Nicaragua clutch.
- 43:20She wanted to draw attention to political unrest in the country,
- 43:25where people have called for the resignation of President Daniel
- 43:28Ortega and protesters have died in clashes with the government.
- 43:32Barrera supports the nonprofits Amigos de Nicaragua Azuli
- 43:36Blanco, which provides humanitarian aid and covers
- 43:38legal fees for refugees. There aren't a lot of
- 43:42Nicaraguans in the industry, so I just thought that would be a
- 43:45good role to be filled, Barra says.
- 43:48I'm not scared to do it. The actress says it's been an
- 43:52honor to receive positive feedback from fans about Yo Yos
- 43:55Latinas and sexual identity. I feel like the LGBTQ community
- 44:00is so underrepresented, so for me to represent a community that
- 44:03is waiting to see themselves, it's a lot of pressure, she
- 44:06says. That was my number one concern.
- 44:09Going to the season and playing a lesbian character.
- 44:12I wanted them to feel proud to see themselves.
- 44:18Next scene, Ruth and Yolanda head to the hotel and they start
- 44:21doing a break dancing montage to the song on a piece of cardboard
- 44:27nostalgia. I love that they brought out the
- 44:32piece of cardboard. Ruth is a quick learner and
- 44:35already comes in to see them practicing.
- 44:37She asked if she's doing a white girl trying to break dance act
- 44:44for the match. Ruth tells her she asked if
- 44:49you're doing a white girl trying to break dance act for the
- 44:52match. Ruth tells her that they're
- 44:54doing a white girl Does break dance act.
- 44:57Artie says that it's spot on that white girls definitely talk
- 45:01like that. Outside the gym, Sam and Bash
- 45:04bit Tammy. Goodnight.
- 45:06Bash asks. Sam.
- 45:07You're not going to this dinner tonight, are you?
- 45:10Sam asks if he means Devi's and agrees that he's definitely not.
- 45:13Bash says that he's not the whole idea of her getting a
- 45:16producer title, which is to make the star happy.
- 45:19Sam agrees that it is. Bash says that he's the
- 45:22producer, that she doesn't even put any money into it.
- 45:26Bash goes in for a hug and pat Sam in the back.
- 45:28Who's confused about the hug? Bash says that the first woman
- 45:32want a room of their own, then stay at the table, Then for men
- 45:34to come and eat at the table. Even if the table's all the way
- 45:37out in Pasadena and he's like, what happened to the room, Tammy
- 45:41looks all and troubled. Later on, Justine meets with her
- 45:46boyfriend Billy at the venue of his band, Shit Pope.
- 45:50He tells her he'll be in the pit while she's out there selling
- 45:54the merch. Next, seeing Debbie sets the
- 45:57table at home. Her doorbell rings is Tammy.
- 46:01She tells Debbie that it's a great house and gives her a gift
- 46:04of booze. She asks what she's doing there.
- 46:07Tammy tells her flat that Sam and Bash aren't coming.
- 46:11She says that she was surprised too, that she loves fondue.
- 46:18Back at his band, Billy thanks Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for having
- 46:23them introduce the Kong. So back in his band, Billy
- 46:28thanks Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for having them introduce a song
- 46:30called Morning in America. That's Morning with AU.
- 46:36They play punk rock and sing a song about getting over on big
- 46:39business. Justine rocks along to the song.
- 46:43She tells some people in front of her that they're blocking her
- 46:45view. A girl gives her the finger and
- 46:47tells her that she should move, so Justine does.
- 46:52She stands in front of the girl. When the girl complaints,
- 46:54Justine shoves her back. The two fight.
- 46:57Billy sees what's happening and breaks it up.
- 47:00He asks her what the hell is she's doing.
- 47:02He's playing a show. As she's dragged out by a
- 47:06bouncer, she Justine shouts at him, telling him to sell his own
- 47:10merch. Back at Debbie's, Tammy tells
- 47:14her that when they fight, it needs to be matched, A sentry
- 47:17like Rocky and Apollo, and they have to build it up.
- 47:21Debbie says that they already are.
- 47:23It's why Sam is having her duck out to build suspense.
- 47:27Tammy says that it's not enough that they have to do more
- 47:30posters and radio ads and even billboards if they can.
- 47:34If she asks if they can afford Billboard, Debbie admits she has
- 47:37no clue. Debbie tells her to find out
- 47:40she's a producer after all. Debbie replies that being a
- 47:44producer is like Tammy's plastic crown.
- 47:47Just because it's shiny and you fought for it doesn't make it
- 47:49worth more than a party favor. She says that Sam and Bash don't
- 47:53listen to her, and Tammy replies that they will When she gives
- 47:55them what they need. Debbie asks what that is.
- 48:01Tammy tells her that she had she's had a lot of jobs, a
- 48:03bookkeeper, a meter maid, and a factory where they made airline
- 48:07food. She's learned that if you want
- 48:09to be respected, you have to make yourself useful, unless
- 48:13you're a white man, in which case you have to just show up
- 48:15and wait around and you'll eventually get promoted.
- 48:19She says it as late as she has to go, thanking Debbie for the
- 48:22fondue. Debbie tells her she's glad that
- 48:25they had this Nemesis time. Seeing that she's a little
- 48:29tipsy, she asked if she's OK to drive.
- 48:31She says that she's fine pulling out a chocolate bar, telling
- 48:35Debbie that sugar wakes her up. She says that candy is cheaper
- 48:39than drugs and better than coffee.
- 48:42Debbie agrees that everyone likes candy at home.
- 48:48Sam smokes and pour himself a drink.
- 48:50Justine arrived home holding a cloth to her head.
- 48:53He asked her what happened. She explained that she got in
- 48:55the fight and she called him to pick her up, but he didn't
- 48:59answer his phone because he doesn't care.
- 49:02He tells her that he sought who to call with from his ex-wife.
- 49:05She slams the door and he complaints about her not having
- 49:08left a message. She comes back with a bag and he
- 49:12asks her if she's leaving, where she and where she's going to go
- 49:15if she's going back to Sacramento.
- 49:18She tells him that she already says she can't go back there
- 49:20because her mother, Rosalie, is crazy.
- 49:23He asks where and she sighs. He tells her relax and let him
- 49:27see what happened. He looks at her head, then at
- 49:29the cloth she used, and asks if it's a punk rock way of dressing
- 49:32a wound. He suggests that they could put
- 49:35the blood on all the T-shirts. He pulls out a first aid kit to
- 49:38properly treat the wound and has her dab it with an infringement
- 49:41cloth. He tells her that he doesn't
- 49:44suddenly become a different person simply because she shows
- 49:47up. He asks her to stay, saying
- 49:50they'll have awkward dinner. Sometimes he says he wants her
- 49:53to stay, but she's going to have a curfew, especially on school
- 49:56nights. She points out that she doesn't
- 49:59go to school, and he tells her that that's another thing that's
- 50:01changing, that his kids won't be a high school dropout.
- 50:06She tells him to slow down with the discipline, and he says not
- 50:08to stop him, that he's finding his parental boys.
- 50:12He didn't stop and admit that it's gone.

- 52:28Next scene, Samurai in the gym to find Debbie already there.
- 52:32She says that she brought him something in hands of a box.
- 52:36He asks if it's candy and she tells him that it's not just
- 52:38candy, it's Nerds, the 1985 candy of the year.
- 52:44He tells her that while he appreciates her trying to suck
- 52:46up as an adult male, he has to say no thank you.
- 52:50Bash comes in, grabs the box, and says that he loves nerds,
- 52:54that they're like great nuts except not healthy at all.
- 52:59Debbie agrees, telling Sam that he's not getting it.
- 53:01She talks about her proposal to keep the audience awake with
- 53:04candy, and Sam says that perhaps it's idealistic, that he was
- 53:08hoping the show would keep them awake.
- 53:10Bash tells him that the performer frees off the energy
- 53:14of the crowd, that he knows. This being a performer himself,
- 53:18Debbie says that she's glad Bash gets it and that she has three
- 53:22cases in the car. They get started in the day's
- 53:26audition. The first match is the Beat Down
- 53:29Bitties versus Melrose, who annoys them with loud music
- 53:32playing from the boom box. Both of them are wearing sleep
- 53:36masks, trying to fight her blind.
- 53:37She sprays Hairspray at them, fighting dirty.
- 53:41She pretends to read the label on the Hairspray, saying that it
- 53:43was made in Three Mile Island and it's therefore radioactive.
- 53:50The Biddies then toss off their old lady costumes, revealing
- 53:53themselves to be Nuke and Ozone. The toxic twins.
- 53:58Bash laughed, liking it. Melrose begged them to stop,
- 54:02saying she didn't mean anything. She turns off the music, but
- 54:05they take her down. Bash says that he loves the
- 54:08mutant gimmick. Outside already complained that
- 54:11the transformation gimmick was her idea.
- 54:13They tell her that they just couldn't be old ladies anymore,
- 54:15that it was weighing on their self esteem.
- 54:18They tell her she'll do fine playing off of the real life the
- 54:24beat down bitty characters that they are based off of in real
- 54:27life. The housewives did in fact
- 54:29change their gimmicks the following year and they were
- 54:31later known as Spike and Chainsaw the Heavy Metal
- 54:35Sisters. Next scene sounds that they're
- 54:39going to see a lot of gimmicks today.
- 54:41Sheila, who's wrestling Rhonda, tells him that they don't have a
- 54:43gimmick. They just want their match to be
- 54:46about pure technical wrestling. Sam asked if the pure wrestling
- 54:50has something to do with the male mannequin that Rhonda is
- 54:52dressing up. Rhonda says that the mannequin's
- 54:55just Thomas, her lover. She made him out of spare parts
- 55:00after a real man broke her heart.
- 55:03Sam put their head. Sam puts his head down.
- 55:06They get down to fighting. It is, as they promised, an
- 55:10intense straight match. Sam.
- 55:15Sam says that it's good that he doesn't understand the
- 55:17mannequin, asking if they're going to engage with it.
- 55:21Engage. Quit Rhonda Sam.
- 55:23We've only been on one date, OK? Sam's annoyed and calls for the
- 55:29next match. The match is Artie and Carmen.
- 55:33She demonstrates her best draft to herself and how she'll blow
- 55:35herself up. Smoke will rise and then she'll
- 55:38emerge from the smoke as Phoenix.
- 55:40Sam tells her they already have a thing where someone magically
- 55:43changes or something. He asked her what else they
- 55:46have. Carmen says she didn't have much
- 55:47extra time because they were helping the others.
- 55:50Sam says they have nothing. He calls for the next match up,
- 55:53Debbie thanking them for their time and vulnerability.
- 55:56Sam again interrupts and sings. Next Yolanda enters the ring
- 56:03asking if they've seen Zoya, saying that the crazy Russian
- 56:07has been chasing her everywhere. She says that Zoya wants to
- 56:12fight her, but she doesn't want to.
- 56:14She has plans. Zoya enters and calls her out.
- 56:19She asks why she won't accept her challenge.
- 56:22She says she doesn't even know her and she was going to go down
- 56:24to B St. Zoya asked what that is, Yolanda
- 56:27explains, and Zoya says that it's American ghetto dancing.
- 56:31She wanted to try it, but only ballet is permitted in Soviet
- 56:35Union and being fresh is a punishable crime.
- 56:40Yolanda tells her she's lucky. During the USA, Root bends down
- 56:44to press play on the boom box and it's swept by the system.
- 56:48Yolanda starts break dancing. Soya says that she could never
- 56:52that she's too rigged. Yolanda tells her to feel the
- 56:55beat, Soya starts getting down, they break dance together, and
- 56:59Yolanda tells her she's not bad for an uptight Russian.
- 57:03Soya says that perhaps audience will join the alternative to
- 57:06wrestling as part of a larger entertainment Sam and Bash Snack
- 57:13on Doughnuts on coffee outside. Sam says that the old lady
- 57:16turning into gremlins when wet, as in Bash, agrees.
- 57:20That goes without saying. Debbie runs up, agreeing that
- 57:23Three makes it unanimous. Sam says that with Liberty Bell
- 57:27versus Fortune Cookie headlining, they still need one
- 57:30match. Bash asked about Carmen, and Sam
- 57:34says that she had nothing. Debbie asked about Zoya and
- 57:38Yolanda. Bash seems to like the idea, but
- 57:40Sam doesn't. Bash asked why not and Sam
- 57:43replies that it wasn't real wrestling.
- 57:46Bash tells him that he's the one who said he wanted to break up
- 57:49the repetition and this could help keep the energy flowing
- 57:54like a halftime show. Devi says she thought they were
- 57:57great. Sam says that he's not putting
- 57:59proof to Devi asked if he's still punishing her.
- 58:02He knows she's good, otherwise he would have fired her and not
- 58:05Reggie. Bash agrees that he must do what
- 58:09is best for the show, So break dancing it is.
- 58:15Ruth meets Sam in the director's booth.
- 58:17She asks if he's hiding from everybody, and he says that's
- 58:19just her he's hiding from. She asked if they're back to
- 58:22joking again. He says that he's not.
- 58:25She thanks him for choosing her match, saying that she won't
- 58:28disappoint him or she might, but it won't be her intention.
- 58:31He says he can't. He says he can still cut her and
- 58:34run only Yolanda, or maybe 10 minutes of a Christmas log.
- 58:39She says she's going telling him to enjoy his personal space
- 58:44downstairs. She stripped over a cable and
- 58:46asked what? Russell explains that it's
- 58:47connected to his camera. She apologizes and he tells her
- 58:51to thanks for the tug job. He apologizes himself and says
- 58:56years of porn. Not funny and sleazy.
- 59:00He says he wants to start over. Hi, nice to see you, and he
- 59:03tells her to have a good match. Sam comes down complaining and
- 59:06Russell tells him there was a technical issue.
- 59:09Sam looks down at Ruth laughing at Russell and tell them they
- 59:12start in 10 minutes. Ruth asked if she broke it.
- 59:15He holds it up, asking Zoya who she's fighting.
- 59:18Zoya says she is fighting a sexy dancer, her girl who has moves
- 59:21like this. She demonstrated his pose and he
- 59:24says he would like to see Star Wars system fight that off and
- 59:26then his. He's red scared.
- 59:29Upstairs, Sam watches as Zoya blows a kiss to the camera and
- 59:34then cuts the feed. The show goes to credit while
- 59:37Situation by Yazoo is playing Situation in 1982 single by
- 59:45British and pop band Yazoo. The song was released in the UK
- 59:49as The B Side to Yahoo's debut single Only You, which went to
- 59:54#2 in the UK Singles Chart. Released as a single in North
- 59:58America, the song peaked at #73 on the Billboard 100 chart in
- 1:00:02the US. And hit the Top 40 in Canadian
- 1:00:05charts, peaking at #31 in the late summer 1982 became Yasu's
- 1:00:10first song to top the Billboard Hot Dance Club play chart,
- 1:00:14remaining at #1 this chart for four weeks.
- 1:00:17It also crossed over to the black singles chart, peaking at
- 1:00:19#31. It's most well known version is
- 1:00:23the US 12 inch remix by Francois Kebrokin.
- 1:00:26This version was included on the US version of Yasu's debut album
- 1:00:30Upstairs at Eric's 1982, and it's the version of the song
- 1:00:34which received the most airplane in the United States, where the
- 1:00:37song, despite its modest showing on the Hot 100, is still played
- 1:00:40on alternative variety hits and dance oriented radio stations in
- 1:00:461990 and again in 1999. The song was remixed by several
- 1:00:49noted DJs included, including Peter Ruffer and Richard Humpty
- 1:00:54Vision. The 1999 remixes were released
- 1:00:57to dance clubs in October the same year.
- 1:01:00This renewed interest in the song since situation number one
- 1:01:03on the Billboard Hot Dance Club play chart for a second time in
- 1:01:072006. Slant ranked the song at #64 in
- 1:01:11its list of the 100 Greatest Dance Songs.
- 1:01:15The song was heavily sampled in the Saturday's 2008 debut
- 1:01:17single, and This is Love. Moyet's laugh at the start of
- 1:01:21the track has been sampled on several different recordings.
- 1:01:26Obviously the episode was heavily influenced on the hip
- 1:01:28hop side. Although it's not a centric
- 1:01:30episode about Yolanda, we do get to know a little bit about her.
- 1:01:36And we also learned that Debbie didn't just want to take the job
- 1:01:39as producer Jaw just as a title, but to help the show as well.
- 1:01:43She's trying hard with the dinner with both Sam and Bash,
- 1:01:46but at the end of it she still has to have one.
- 1:01:49She's still the one that came up with solution with the candy and
- 1:01:51getting Sam back off roof to let her do her thing.
- 1:01:55Overall it was a good episode, hopefully original.
- 1:01:59Junk Chain is still miss up going to come up later in the
- 1:02:03show later in the season and I don't remember if Reggie really
- 1:02:07left the show after this and hopefully they bring them up
- 1:02:10next episodes. That's all for now for this
- 1:02:15episode. Hope you all enjoyed the recap
