The Boys S3E7 - Fandom Hybrid Podcast #207

0:25 Was the Pirates, welcome back to another episode of The Phantom hybrid podcast. This is hanako and I am here with Anthony, Mike and glory and we are discussing episode 7 of season. 3 of the boys. Post here orgasm man. After that episode. I was like, how are they gonna follow this up? This is crazy and they followed it up with a very full fucking episode full episode, but good grief, So they start off the episode, you have vodka News Network. And before we even go into the episode, let me say this, the people who are running the social media for the boys, they deserve a fucking raised because between all the Snippets and the Vaught News Network and like the The infomercials and all of the other stuff that they have promoting the show in the offseason.

1:21 This is how you keep people interested in your show when you're on hiatus. You know, they have this little clip where a train did a top five music video countdown for 2022. And it just popped up out of nowhere on my feet and it was just the funniest little thing and I'm like, this is how you keep viewers interested because that's a show that, you know, we may not get a new season until probably the end of this year. Beginning of next year. Some people are going to forget You know about season 3 or they're going to have like, uh, it's just not going to be in the Forefront of their minds but you do little promos like that to remind people. Hey, we're still here.

2:07 Hey, we'll still here. They deserve an award that's all I'm saying. Anyway, so you have bought News Network Starlight is making a splash now because she has gone public with the fuckery that is Vault and of course, their branding, her Trader. They're calling her. You know they're saying oh I wonder if what she's saying is treason. Do know treat reason for what for volume? I mean it's just like the freakin Fox News propaganda bullshit. I was like they are imitating life. The boy is very good for that fact. It is with some calls wearing the wig.

2:49 Is that a wig? Is he ever probably? So he's probably passed by now as much hair she's pulled out or had pulled Doubt, it has to be. There's those shot that is back. Well, if you think about it in the, in the previous episode, she took hair from like up under here and yanked it. So everything up top was still look kind of fool, but yeah, I'm pretty sure. She's probably pulled out more of her hair than we've actually seen her. Do not know Hanukkah you and I both know, a good lace-front can take care of all that. Okay. Anything about wigs? I do not do wigs unless it's cost. Play wigs. And though I don't do wigs either but you hit it.

3:29 Just general knowledge and will you seen the way you look? They got great legs. Okay, that blew my mind. I was like, wow, they got great, but a good lace French even though I don't wear wigs, like you will take care of any situation. That's all I'm saying, I guess. But so yeah she Ashley, is there on vitamins Network and she's talking about how Starlight is lying. How she is losing her mind, how this is a response to Homeland or breaking up with her. And I'm like, oh my God, y'all really think people are going to buy this Kool-Aid. As we see towards the end of the episode, people are actually buying this including Todd, will get to Todd late.

4:14 That's odd. Hey.

5:15 Motherfucker. Who did you? Like you're not her father. Well, someone has to be. He should have, he should have uppercutting his dead, a Jedi would. I want to uppercut his down? But like sure you can I would have knocked him over his car, right? Because it's not like he hasn't been coming around. It's not like he hasn't been taken care of. So how dare you say some shit like that? Young king fucking me? He's lucky, he got, he got was one shot. If he was one, hit the try, you know, the trials, and stomping. Is it was me and my Bloomin, a town start over. Like, if you don't give a damn, we don't give up in your face and the narc, the unmitigated Gall of this motherfucker.

6:01 Like, Jesus down is hard, but I mean, we've been saying that for, we've been saying that for ya quite a while now. Todd lyght, man. I would hold her straight into the fucking Littlejohn, only much. That Marvin didn't go ballistic on him, right? And I mean, I understand me Monique. You're sitting there worried about your your day, you do your husband, whatever time it is to you, but I feel like at that point, it was Monique's responsibility.

6:43 To put Todd in his place. Because you know, she heard that shit, she heard it. Anyway we won't waste any more breath on. Todd was just say he got exactly what he was Mother's Milk, take care of it unless you care of it. You got exactly what he deserved it's over. It's no one thing. One thing we kind of didn't talk about was how is trying to connect Starlight to shining The Shining Light because of her association with Kumiko, right? Bot is one of those companies they are Going to do and say whatever they need to to take the heat off of them. And the, the sad thing is, you have those people who believe it even though it sounds ridiculous even though there's no proof Which has never stopped anybody.

7:44 Yeah proof. What is that? This is true if you really think about it, the same kind of sort of could be said for Annie as well because when she did her live yeah you're there at you know, in Vermont you have bodies behind you which I don't think she's showing her lives but Aside from you saying I saw Soulja Boy do this. She really doesn't have proof either so I can I can kind of understand. Okay. We're going to spend this anyway, that will reflect positively on us but there's enough of a contingent out there who knows that home home lenders? Batshit crazy? I mean did he go off and award ceremony? Or what was it?

8:27 His birthday, his birthday. Ceremony. So but they mean I equate that with craziness I mean think about really think about our reality where you know we had president who we pretty much. Everybody was kind of sure that he may have been a little off his rocker. But there's people that swear that that's the most saying, intelligent man there is we are not even going to go down that path. I'm just saying it's a possibility that yeah, we looking at Kinda like to do this, a psychopath. He's kind of crazy. He's got multiple person. I'm sorry, disassociative identity disorder, but the general public, they don't know that. I mean, they know what Vox been telling them for the past 15 to 20 years or however, long he's been out here. I mean, so for them, he's their hero. No, he hasn't done anything wrong because they don't know what he's done.

9:27 That's wrong. Yeah. And he and he and he speaks to them because he knows what they want to hear and it's like, you know, what's he says it ever was like yeah yeah yeah. And it's like the more he talks the more people that believe that are going to come out of the woodwork and not and not care anything about what he does or what he stands for. Did they just care about what he says and they're like, you know what, he's right. And it's like that's how shift get Added. Yeah, and and no spoiler. But I just recently we watch Lois and Superman or Superman and Lois, whatever. And there's a scene where where Lonny is trying to explain to everyone. The situation is happening.

10:12 This. And there are like, that sounds crazy. Like The Whole Town's like, that sounds. Absolutely ridiculous. Even Superman comes in and say yeah when she sings the truth and the like, okay, they believe it. It but it didn't change the Ridiculousness of quit. The story sounds like yeah it just sounds better coming from one person as opposed to another right. Yeah. So if Homeland is telling them, this is how it is making the believe. This is how it is because he's home landed, he's the hero. Oh well. Okay. I'm trying to decide where I want to go first. Well, you know what? Let's do this. Let's go ahead and get this island.

10:57 This was a quick scene. Maeve is alive. I love to see. I love to see. She's being held captive by home Lander. And you know, y'all know I've had my complaints about Mays character over the last two seasons, and I would say, The way she was in this scene with home Lander, this is what I have wanted from her character. She seemingly is in a bad place, right? She's been kidnapped. She's being held against her. Will when Hall Lander walks in to talk to her. She is so cool and calm.

11:42 She does not let him rattle her. And even though he's pushing her buttons, she's just sitting there giving it to him straight and telling him, you know, when he starts talking about the whole Soulja Boy thing. You know, he's taking their powers, we got to stop and she was like, see that's the thing being a superhero is important to you. I can't wait for this to be over and he's looking at her like what? What like he can't believe that she doesn't want this kind of power and then he gets on the whole thing where he talks about, he talks about the future, he had envisioned with her, you know, because she asked him, why are you keeping me alive?

12:27 And he was like, you know, there was a time Time when I wanted to have a family with you, I wanted to have kids, can you imagine our children? They would be superior, you know, they'd be twice as strong as as Ryan or twice as powerful and this is the thing that's, you know, kind of I guess pisses him off about the whole thing, more about her, not loving him is like, yeah. We could have, we could have, we could have been parents to a superior, being your life, but that's okay. Because what I'm going to do is I'm going to harvest your eggs because what did she said she said anything that you try to stick up the outbreak or whatever? He was like hold up, hold up, we're not Savages. I wouldn't take you out for so I wouldn't Force you. I'll just Harvest your eggs, you know, when and if something happens to you, whether whether he say where the by accident or on purpose or something like that and she was looking at him, like the fuck is he about to do?

13:26 Because he's like, yeah, I'll go ahead and harvest your eggs and I'm still going to make these Superior children. I was like, yeah, he said you said whether if something happens to you, God forbid by force. I'll make sure that the very best of you carries on like and she was just sitting and I think that was the part that floored her the most she was like, he was really serious about doing this and you said, I'm not, I'm not letting you live. I'm keeping doing you alive. Like shit. I love her after you said that she left. It was like, you know, this is still a top three day of my life because I saw you, because I've seen you fucking scared.

14:07 Mmm. Those like he walked in she was like, is that concealer? Do you have a group like oh my God, there's someone beat your ass. And then he also figured out that she was the one who gave Billy and Huey the 10th V which like I said I figured it wasn't going to be Long for him to connect those dots, especially when he figured out that she was sleeping with Billy in the first place, right? He was like, yeah, I could smell the think I figured this out. But speaking of sleeping with people. Oh, dear God, wait, wait, wait, which one are we going? Okay, yeah. Go ahead was a boy and look prop for him.

14:48 For giving old women, all women a reason to live and give it an exercise and keeping them active. I mean, this is like octogenarians need This is like to keep them keep the joints active to keep him bendy and and like stretchy and all this stuff, you know? I mean look at me, I have the different have his fun, don't kink shame this man. Okay? Do not keep shit. Not have Jensen, Ackles masturbating on the viewing bingo card but masturbated with with two old women on the bed, masturbating with him on this. It wasn't pretty. That that's all I'm going to say it just I was like, oh God, they went there. I mean it's just it just like we were talking in the last episode. It just shows how, how much of a asshole he is, and how old and rigid, it's just showing how he is very a man's man. Old-fashioned type of a person.

15:48 I guess we'll be a better word to say cuz he's still thinking. Imprint of toxic masculinity. It's just like it's just like he said the older they get the more delicious but dryer. I was like well how do you know This was bad as bad as anything in the hero. Get it. Yes, probably worse. The legend coming in is brilliant talking about. Oh now I got a burn these sheets. He was like You Gyptian cotton.

16:38 Now I got the Burnham and what was it? He said this bed is had to Jacqueline's in it. You get what I'm saying Smith and besides the way that they name-drop Names in this show for the most like the most disgusting thing. They're just dropping this Liberty names. I'm like I want to do any of these celebrities ever be. Like you can't use my name in this because it's like even though I know this is fiction, it's one of those things where you're looking at and it's just like I'm not going to be able to look at you the same because I'm thinking about what they said about you at a fix.

17:21 Look, we're lucky that he didn't have like, a Dukes of Hazzard poster on the sink after Bob Charlie's Angels or yeah, it was a picture of Raquel Welch. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, just a flip, it and have Jamie Kennedy. Remember that poster in your body today? Legend was like, first of all thanks to you. I can never find those women ever, exactly. Now, thank you. Oh yeah, they were gay.

18:02 Oh my God. Hugh, please don't. Soulja Boy, is trying to get his rocks off. He has given them locations for Mindstorm who is another one of the payback members? This guy apparently has some kind of mental power, where he can control what you see or, you know, has some kind of mind control at least that's what it appears from the beginning of this.

18:44 Like Soulja Boy, says later on. This guy is very paranoid because he hears a lot of voices. So he has 11 different cabins that he just kind of stays in and they're trying to figure out where he is. So of course, Soulja Boy can go and get his revenge, do whatever, whatever. Now, why the in the middle of trying to figure this out, It's interesting because you see Huey and butcher trying to work out, how they can find Mindstorm and humid makes a suggestion once they find out that my storm is bipolar. Oh okay. Well you know that's just kind of see where the surrounding pharmacies are. We can find a lithium you know who's giving out lithium prescriptions and and we'll find his location and which is like good job.

19:34 He we I was like this is weird for butcher. like actually paying you a huey a compliment and then when you see what happens with the rest of the episode, once they find Mindstorm, it's just kind of like This, this episode was kind of it was dark, and it was also so painful. Because you get to see a little bit more of butchers backstory, with his father and with his brother and exactly what happened. and it kind of, sort of makes you A little sympathetic to butcher. I feel but also angry because you are literally becoming the one thing, you hate it, and that contributed to so much, it contributed to your brother's death. It's contributing now to what may or may not happen with Huey. You know, we talked about this when we discussed here orgasm as far as the temp V.

20:30 What kind of side effects? You know, we will see from it because as Mike so eloquently put it their brains are oozing out of their ears and that is literally, what is happening and during the course of the episode, when Andy goes to vote to try to steal some compound V, She sees the notes, the scientist made in testing the temp V and the temp, V causes brain damage. It causes all of these other side effects and if you take anywhere from three to five doses, it will kill you. So reminds how many doses we said in the last episode that human butcher have had so far.

21:13 I think at that point, that's three. Yeah, so that means butchering up. That doesn't fare. Well, I don't think that your cares about himself well show at the end of the episode, you know, when Tani calls to tell him about this and he's getting ready to tell Huey. Instead of telling you he's like, hey, we need to go by the office and get some more temp V, but you're you just had a whole you just had a whole dream. Where you re lived your, your brother's existence, and his death. And his and your brother, blamed you for his death and basically say everyone that loves you, you end up killing. Why would you I just Butcher gives me a headache. Sometimes, he really does.

22:12 Because why would you want to go? Anyway, just is is Butcher. You can't, you can't make sense of that, you just Just Let It Go, just Let It Go. But he's a flip side of Home Lander. He lets his emotions control him to. He doesn't, he doesn't see clearly because of how he feels, I tell you, Butcher needs to get his head on straight because I mean he's even said it before like you can't. I don't know. I guess he's not really, he's not fueled by emotion, I know he's fueled by Revenge but at some point you have got to stop making stupid decisions because that's going to affect your ability to get your revenge.

23:00 You can't get, you can't take out Homeland her. If you're dead. And if any already told you, hey anywhere from three to five, doses will kill you. Brother of you already halfway there, more than that your windows away, right? From certain death, And you talking about, we need to go to the office and get more and I get it. I feel like butcher at this point. Probably does not care. If he lives or dies, you know, Rebecca's dead. Ryan is no longer speaking to him in this, with home Lander. Hey, it's like, okay, I deserve whatever.

23:40 I get, if I died, I just want to take Homeland her out with me but it's like, dude don't don't drag you into your shit. No. But We're because like, you already reminds him of his brother. So is like, I mean this there's already been a parallel drawn through the first two seasons that he still kind of sees him as his babes, his little brother, but he's never done anything positive in that regard. Like, you know, trying to keep him from danger. He just dragged them along. So yeah, what when they do finally find Mindstorm, you know, Soulja Boy makes a specific gives a specific Vic directive, do not look him in the eye. Just don't look him in the eye.

24:25 He doesn't tell them what happened. He just says, don't look him in the eye and what happens is Soulja Boy trips a wire that leads to like a little explosion and my storm actually shows up in front of butcher when butchers trying to clear his head from it. So he looks him in the eye, he passes out. He's in some kind of some kind of mental coma. And he's reliving his worst nightmare, and it starts out with him and many his brother as younger, boys. They're having fun playing with each other. Their dad comes in raving and ranting because Lenny has left his bike out in the yard and so many hides and Billy takes the punishment for Lenny and, you know, just looking at the memories, you get the idea. That this has happened a lot.

25:21 Billy takes the brunt of the punishment for Lenny, you know, Big Brother protecting little brother and you start to see the memories and how they escalate. Because at first, both boys are both kind of innocent. They're both, you know, victim to their father and then there's an instance. Where Billy has done something in school and the Headmaster says, hey, we have to call your dad because I think it was, he stole some and Billy is Begging him. Please don't call my dad. The Headmaster says, I have no choice, but to call your father, we both know what he's like, you need to be better because you're smarter, if you know, what this man is like, why would you threaten to call?

26:06 Him knowing what kind of punishment would have wait for the student anyway. Yeah, they didn't make any sense to me, it didn't but because I mean you're an educator and I don't know, maybe it's different in Britain or whatever but here if they suspect abuse, they're not going to call the parents, they're going to call defects. They're going to call the authorities, they're going to, they're going to try to find some way or at least. What they're supposed to do is they're supposed to find a way to help this abuse child. So he threatens to call Billy's. Father Billy takes a stapler and beats the Headmaster and Lenny comes in and tries to stop him and he ends up hitting many by accident.

26:55 But what they do with these scenes of butchers flashbacks, is they intersperse them with his actions and seems that we've seen of his father. Doing sort of the same thing. So basically, they're showing us how Billy has started mimicking. His father, even though his father was abusive, he hated his father. You know, this is not a person that he admired, he still ended up growing up mimicking, the behavior becoming almost a carbon copy of his father. Even some of the things that he says, is stuff that his father had said to him or his brother as a way to hurt them.

27:37 You know, we see that with Lenny, After this incident, the father takes them to a pub and he talks about how you know in this life basically you hurt or your or you be hurt and he was like okay well you know what is it you think or you swim? And he tells Billy this time today you swam and he rewards him with some beer. I was like worst father in the world and then he looks at Lynn and he was like, you need to you need to, you know, emulate your brother and not be a poof your entire life. So then later, we see Billy getting ready to leave to go to the military and he was going to sneak out, Lenny is in the room, he catches him and he was like you're just gonna sneak out and not say goodbye, don't leave me with him. You know what he'll do and Billy at this point knows that if I continue to stay here, I'm going to kill him and then I'll be in prison and that'll kill mom and it's not going to help anyone. So I got to go.

28:43 And Lenny tries to plead with him, you know, stay with me. Don't leave me. And then Billy says the same thing. Lenny is not, you know, it's not my responsibility to look. After you, you need to grow up stop being a poo for your entire life. And I was like, oh Lord, here we go. And butcher in his present State. Can't do anything, but watch his, his younger self. Make this mistake and this is apparently the thing. That kind of set off what happens to Lenny because when he goes into that memory, he was like, oh no, not this day, not this day. That apparently was the last day that he talked to his brother saw his brother, he never checked up on his brother and so the next scene that we see is Lenny going into the kitchen, get, you know, reaching into the cabinet and grabbing the gun and the whole time he's talking to present-day butcher in his memory.

29:40 He was like yeah, you left that day. You never came back. You never checked on me and six months. He beats me every day. It just gets worse. I can't do it anymore. This is your fault. You left. You know, you left me here. Or for him and Billy was like, that's not true. That's not what I did. Yeah, you did. He's been beating me uncontrollably and it's your fault. And then, that's when he goes into the whole thing. Everyone who, you know, that's what you do, everyone who loves you, they end up, they end up dying. Becca me Huey, you know, or they end up getting hurt and then he blows his brains out, I was like, no wonder butcher is so screwed up. Julian. I mean, we met his father. What was that?

30:20 This season lasted that was last year. His father was a right pretty. So I'm just like right at the right, pre are right, cut it, right? I'm sorry. I have to use butchers favorite word, I'm so sorry, but it's just one of those things where it's like, you want to feel sorry for butcher because you see what he's gone through. But at the same time, it's like, dude, you're acting just like Like him. So why would I feel sorry for you? You are repeating the same mistakes. The only thing is you're not beating any boiled. You're not beating any children. You are taking out your anger on the people. You can't stand you. Taking out your anger on the soups all, you know, will and good. I understand that, but it's just like, What's yours? Just?

31:12 You want to like his character. But at the same time, you just don't want to like his character. Yeah, this is heartbreaking. And I mean, it's just like you plus. I like how they, when he was in his trance State interwove like his past, with his present and like, but there were things that he had done more recently like when he went after he was beating the head bastard. Many we surrounded and smack plenty by accident. When he went and smacks you. We at the same time it's like they kind of weaved everything together. Like that. I was just freaking heartbreaking at me when he when he snaps out of it and he's like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. And you he's like, for what? And it's just like, man, this is like he is it was almost it kind of reminded me of the of A Christmas Carol when when Scrooge actually when he like, realizes what he did wrong and he was like, boy, what day is it? It's Christmas go buy me a goose and it's like he like actually realizes everything and he's a better. It's like it seems like a donkey. You can see the realization kind of dawn over his face like what he's done and how he's kind of made turned Huey and to Lenny where he Kind of has a second chance at it and it's just like but then he turns around and fucks it up at the end of the episode.

32:26 Yeah, it's like you just told what, what compound would tempt he does and he doesn't, he gets close to telling him. He was like right there. He was getting ready to tell him. He was like, we got to go paint. Both. Hey, and it's like, you can see his like shit, like at least he looks conflicted. At least he kind of looked conflicted and like about what to do. You would think slightly, you would think that this Make him more sympathetic character, but it's almost like, it makes them less sympathetic because yeah, yeah, but he said, No, at least with a train.

33:06 He's trying to redeem himself. This guy. He's a right cunt. Just like the rest of the right cunts. He doesn't like, like he has his chance to tell, you know, Lenny not to do the V. You're not linear. Yeah, so even I'm confused. Yeah, exactly. And and he doesn't like There isn't because he's a right cunt that's with use, he hasn't yeah, he has an agenda and when you have an agenda you knock everyone down around you and you don't worry about the consequences of your actions you cuz you want to get your things done, right? And it's terrible because you're starting to feel sorry for him and then realize why, like he doesn't care Right. And like I said, I feel like he's probably to that point when he's like okay you know what I already know I'm going to die but let me let me do this one thing and then I don't know, maybe he feels like okay, maybe, maybe it won't affect Huey like it affected me because I don't think he we told butcher. Oh yeah, you know what, I dug my eat and I put a little piece of brain out.

34:22 Humming butcher knows that he is starting to show symptoms yet. You know. No milk was it wasn't in the room. When butcher. He told butcher, he was like you got a little bit of brain leaking out. It look like a little piece of Venom sitting there on his ear. He just kind of picked it up and was like Like yeah, okay. But he didn't, he do that in the last episode and, and butcher was in the room with him. Right? Which was in the room, but he wasn't paying attention. Oh, okay. Other, yeah. so, Anyway, speaking of a train. Oh man, I'm so I'm so conflicted, I'm not really conflicted, I'm just like, I kind of feel them on this where it's like, okay he's like wait why am I alive?

35:09 And then she tells him that tells them why he's alive and he's like, wait, what? Not even really tells him why he's alive. She basically tells him the story that they're spinning, right? About him being alive, ain't I Wakes up in the hospital. Of course, the last episode. He drugged, what's his name? To his death? Yeah, blue. Hot hijab blue hot to his death. He passed out because he wasn't supposed to run his heart. Can't take it. So he wakes up in the hospital, he's trying to figure out what's going on at Ashley, is there, you know, she was relishing this because after that conversation they had, you know, she was like, oh yeah. Let me tell you how this went down. So it was so horrible that Soulja Boy, attacked you and blue hawk at here orgasm and he killed Blue Hawk and you tried to stop him and your heart gave out, but Blue, Hawk will live on and you because we gave you his heart. I was like when I tell you my jaw dropped on the floor. I was like that is be The dirtiest spinning like a tornado.

36:23 Like, damn that I was impressed. I was like, damn, I didn't know she had it in her. I was like, okay, they understand. Even if it wasn't his heart seemed like a regular person's heart wouldn't work for him. Because he's a soup right now. The same even if it wasn't never sleeps hard, right? But I I found it interesting that there was enough left of him that they could use his heart because when I say he was shredded pretty bad, I mean, you might invite got done with him. It might have been scoffs lightly stuff but it should have been, all right? But I have a question if he was in there, when soldier boy did his thing, what he the thing is like, a train had his power, so maybe so he missed him but Lou Hawk was kind of scorched.

37:17 So didn't boo ha. Get Soldier, Boyd, he could have but then amazing doesn't have any powers. He doesn't have any powers, but he probably, I mean, I don't know, maybe it doesn't change his physiology in that sense like he just doesn't have his powers but everything else might be the same. Like, I don't think you can just go. Well, how about this screams bled with steel be super powered? So it would, it would fix the heart to make it it would just yet. But but but if that's the case that you could have gotten, I'm delay on how long it before or time delay on how long the effect of soldier boy would happen on the soup, do maybe he's like 20 minutes occurred or maybe it was a gas explosion, got him in that necessarily but beyond the ray of death. I mean.

38:23 Maybe he was scorched, but it wasn't like he didn't actually get burned. I mean, because if you think about it and man came out of there, pretty intact his shirt was a little scorched, but he didn't have any kind of like physical injuries from Soulja Boy's explosion, neither did Billy. I mean, And I don't know if I don't know if Soulja Boy's power would affect temporary V powers in the same way, you know what I'm saying? So, I mean, yeah, but I mean you just I don't know. I don't know why I thought of it, like, when I was doing my rewash before the show, and I was like, if he got hit by the, if you got hit by the Rays, did he lose his powers?

39:09 Because that's how his power works. Well, we are to exactly sure. Because he, he Kumiko dead-on right, this is true. Yes. And he has a twin bed on and beer. Incinerated instantaneously, right? So we don't know if you have to be directly hit by it because Kimiko, I think she has it, she has a healing factor and she's more durable, so it didn't incinerate her but it stripped her of her powers. So it's possible that some of those people were close enough but not close enough to be hit directly, right? Yeah, I'm saying it's like the heat emanating from it or the Ation from it, could Scorch them but if it wasn't a direct it wasn't enough to take their powers. Yeah, they could be weapon with a train and blue hawk. Was it because didn't they say in this episode that everybody here, everybody hit by it, by his Ray, got, they lost their powers or something.

40:15 Yeah, Homeland are told that to me. Yeah. Or it could just be cool. Writing. That happens to the heavens above. I don't know why. I just now, because I've seen this episode, like, three or four times, and it's like, I'm like that did just now occurred to me. I was like, In a minute, will you know it's kind of like we always say when you first watch it you're watching it for the viewing and then the second time you watch it, you're watching it to see what you may have missed. And then third, fourth fifth time you watch it, you'll always pick up something different. Yeah, you know, because it's like, you already know what the story is.

40:56 You already know what happens. So I think you're more focused on the things that you didn't pay attention to before, or Things that you might have missed so that could have been it to. That's true. We did it didn't really take away from. I enjoy enjoyment of it, or like my pleasure in seeing, and I'm actually, kind of kind of glad that a train didn't die, because he has a lot of, she has a lot of work to do, he has you guys should to make up for so and the fact that she, I'm glad she made a point of saying that would get you back in your old suit, which means no more day, trying to Africa bullshit.

41:37 Like, ya know cuz she's basically that was actually Basically telling him we own you again right here. Gonna do what we want you to do, because here is yet another mess of yours that I am having to cover up and take care of your that that's what that was. Mmm. That's that's all that was her basically saying. Yeah, you're my bitch again. Okay, what what? Okay bye. Yeah, I was like okay and no, you don't need to ever do that stuff again.

42:17 Let's talk about Kumiko. because, Persons with Frenchie were so sweet and so sad in this episode. Because you realize they do care about each other. I don't know if they're going to be a couple or thing because it seems like they've both determined that the kiss was weird and that they do love each other but it's kind of transcended Beyond a romantic love. Like she said he's her family. And what she does. In this episode they come over to M&M's house because they're like, okay, we're going to help you because butcher is a danger to everyone now. So we're coming to help.

43:03 She's trying to heal and Annie is trying to help her and she asks Annie to get her, the permanent compound B, so that she can have her powers back. And what she says, is that she hated the compound be before because it wasn't her choice that she was given. And this time it's her choice like she tells friend, she, she, you know, she shows Frenchy the little note that she wrote Annie when she pleaded with her to get it. And basically, she's like, I almost lost Frenchie because I didn't have my Powers. I want to be able to protect my family and like, she tells him he's her family. So this is how Starlight ends up in bot Tower, because she's going to go get the compound be, you know, I mean after, Sure that plea.

43:52 What can you say? No. She's telling she's telling them. Look, this is my decision. This is what I want and this is what I need. I need to be able to heal. I need to be able to save my, you know, save my folks. I need to not be a liability but the scenes with her and Frenchies were so sweet. And I'm just like, I feel like they've built those two up romantically for so long and then for it to not really pay off the way I, you know, I expected or I wanted, I'm a little bit disappointed. Yeah. Episode for something to happen but I just I don't think it's gonna happen between them now and it makes me sad because I think there are like the love between them, is obviously there, you see it?

44:42 I hold your horses because there's still time, I mean they can I mean at this point is kind of its kind of cool that they're taking a slow because she's lost her powers. She's gonna powers back. They've been through a lot of trauma so they have to kind of take a slow. So I get, I get that, that's fine. I mean, they just really haven't I think I think it's fine. I think is better that they don't try to rush into being romantically involved. There's still a chance. I'm just saying that. I'm just saying, don't think I mean, you know, there were there was They're dead but these two were almost killed. This is the point where it's like time waits for no one tomorrow is never promised all the little cliches apply to these two.

45:27 They don't have time just well that mean they couldn't hooked up anyway because she's so, she's so injured. It's like nothing can happen. Anyway. So, I mean, the Vichy, and now, I'm saying, but this is like I'm talking about before in the early Press this episode is like where they're dancing to Dream a Little Dream which was just as adorable as fuck. And that's Dream a Little Dream is one, my is one of my favorite songs period of all time. I love that song when they were dancing to and she was like, I can feel your arms. I couldn't feel your arms before because they felt like bendy straws and I was like Come on, you're killing me here. You're killing me. And I was, and she was like, I just want to feel them one more time before I he was like when he is before she goes back on.

46:10 And I was like, man. Y'all are literally killing you right now. Thank you. Come on. So that's why I'm saying I mean they're still I mean and as long as she doesn't like Bend him like break him like bendy straws when they actually you know, get to it. It's fine. I think they're still chains. Don't don't discount them yet. Yeah. So I mean I have a question. I need to know where this Tennessee whiskey was bottled, because I've never seen an alcohol bottle, where the liquid, it was all the way up to the top Kirkland. Oh, that Kirkland is on is a Costco or Sam's Club.

46:51 It's called as possible. Bring liquor they still do this. Yes. Okay, it's legendary, it's the cheapest. It is humanly gift. Just like, literally drinking like she was taking a whole bunch of, you know, just just gulping it down. And then when she puts me back down, there's only like that much gone from the Top and I was like, that's kind of where they usually started because I've never seen a liquid where they actually feel it into the neck of the bottle. I know that's something picky like, like, really heady to pick up on but I was like they not really drinking that.

47:38 Suppose we showing us showing them getting drunk. Yeah, I mean Starlight took a hit because she just that Kirkland shit she probably that's probably what she drank when her and um Her. And what's that? And what's his name? Got? All got all got the second. Super Sonic got to second base is probably exactly what they were drinking, you might be right. What was it? That there's nothing else to do. So so, but yeah. Yeah. That's that's like that's too low. Well, that's like the low Wellborn. So basically, she could have said the whole entire Midwest. Basically, basically. Okay being from there. I know, trust me, there's nothing to do but what we, that's what they do.

48:23 Let me know what's a trip. I think that's an excuse. Any teenager uses. It doesn't matter where you live. It doesn't matter if you're in the country in the sea. City. That's just one of those excuses. There's nothing else to do. We were bored delinquents. No, but, I mean you you hear it all the time, it doesn't matter if you're in the country, doesn't matter. If you're in the city. It doesn't matter if you're rich. It doesn't matter if you're poor. And it's true. It's gonna drink. That is true, but going back to Soulja Boy. Because the end of this episode had a very interesting turn and which Lori called it several episodes ago. They go to find my storm.

49:21 And while butcher is in his little mental, coma brought on by mind spring, Huey goes with. Soulja Boy, to try to find my storm. Now, the first thing is, Soulja Boy is already high because Billy has been plying him with weed. So he's already high. He's getting a little, I don't want to say paranoid, but he's starting to hear things. I think him that we'd that smokey was smoking in Friday because he was just like, Cats have been something had to have been something hasn't been something because like as they're walking, he keeps asking them even before butcher gets into his little coma.

50:13 He's like, what did you say? Did you guys hear that? Like it's not paranoia, but he's hearing things and it's starting to make Huey a little bit on edge because at this point you don't know what Soulja Boy is. I need to do, you know. So while they're walking trying to find mines of storms cabin, they come across a priest and a nun who are having car trouble, why are you laughing Anthony curve? It the whole scenes was hilarious. The priests in in them driving down the road in the middle of fucking nowhere. Come on now, right?

50:59 Doesn't make sense. Like, where were you guys going? So they're having car trouble. They see, you know, they see Soulja Boy and he'll be coming out coming out of the woods and I'm like oh are you a superhero? Can you help us by blah blah? Soulja Boy gets ready to help them with the engine and he starts asking them questions and Soulja Boy just pulls out a gun and he shoots the priest in the head. And rightfully so Huey is freaking out. He's like, why are you killing them the nerd? The nun is freaking out and Soulja Boy is like, yeah, they're here randomly. This is a, this is a trick of our mind. He they're going to attack us.

51:41 And as Huey is sitting there telling Soulja Boy that he's being ridiculous. That they aren't attacking. That there aren't going to be attacked. The nun jumps on his back and bites his neck. Like she's a vampire. Girls, girls girls. I was like, what in the world? Are we watching? So, anyway, he shoots the nun. She falls on the ground. They keep on going. But the funny. Well, no, I do. Yeah, yeah.

52:42 So, they finally get into Mindstorms like his cabin and while they're looking, they see him reflected in a mirror. Soulja Boy is about to shoot him. And as he's about to shoot, Huey transports over to Mind Storm and then grabs him and transports them out of the cabin to where butcher is So he kind of convinces Mindstorm. Okay. Hey look, I'm not one of the bad guys. I'm trying to help I want to, I don't feel, I don't want to do this. He was like, I was trying to be something. I'm not, I'm not a superhero. I don't want to do this stuff. I just want to go home, but I need you to wait my friend up please. We're not going to hurt you.

53:23 Once you wake him up, I'll transfer you wherever you want to go. I will never ever tell anybody where you are. I just, I just want to be over and done with this. So he does wake butcher up. But in the midst of that. Soulja Boy finds them and attacks him. Not I gotta say, I did not notice this until I watched it tonight. I did not notice that. When he threw the knife, he threw the knife. And it literally answers the side of Mindstorms I here and goes across, has I like this? It was like why would you even like Sahel the shopping? Even throw that so that it lands in just that precise way that was one hell of a throw. Yeah so he attacks my spring he gets on top of him. He kind of you know hits him covers his covers, his face with a bag.

54:16 So my spring can't I mean Mindstorm can't do anything to him. And he asked him something about you know about them selling him to the Russians. So it was it was Noir. Okay. Y'all know it was new or but he wouldn't have been able to do it without Vaught and my husband was like, oh God gave him. The go-ahead. They were the ones who like yeah. And so Soulja Boy ask him what, why would they do that to me? And Mindstorm. Whisper something to so while Butcher and here we are having a conversation and watching this whole thing unfold. He's telling Soulja Boy, something whatever it is in rageous, Soulja Boy to the point where he starts smashing his shield into Mindstorms face and that reminded me of that scene in fucking Winter Soldier. Where kept killed the the flag Smasher. Exactly, yes.

55:18 So my storm is dead. His haste his face is literally split. Soulja Boy, gets up and walks past you in butcher. He just looks at them and he doesn't say anything and which is like, what did he say? Says nothing. So later we see a scene of Soulja Boy, just kind of sitting and it's almost like he's in disbelief and he's sitting there trying to figure out like Is almost one of those. What am I going to do? How do I do? You know, it's like he's processing the information, he's hurt. So then we see home Lander in his suite, he gets a phone call and it's from Soulja Boy. And Soulja Boy was like, you know, circumstances has changed. I felt a talk was needed and before Homeland or can say something smart because he's about to Soulja, Boy, Cuts him off and he was like, 1980, Volga bomb calls me into his office as he has to do some kind of test for genetics. I just in a cup and in Spring of 1981, V bomb has a kid born you know that there's this new kid and Volga bomb is the person who was over that program.

56:38 And as home Landers listening to that Soulja Boy's says, you know the the crazy thing is if they had just left me alone, I would have gladly step to this step to the side to let you ascend after all. What father wouldn't want that for his son? I don't know. Oh, here we go. But Lori called it. She called it. I think what episodes or three she may have called in sick. It. Hey, what if this is, what the case is. So kudos to you. Lori forgetting it. Thank you, thank you. I mean it just it just follows the comic book tropes. I mean, you know, it was, It was kind of visually happened, but yeah, this is, this is not good for million times, not at all but it also makes sense.

57:31 And if you think about it, if you look at some of the parallels in this episode, You remember in the last episode not last episode two episodes ago, when been confronted Crimson Countess, and he was talking about how much he loved her. We saw that with Maeve and home Lander. I think in the same episode and then home Lander was talking today about, oh, I wanted to have kids with you, blah, blah blah, Soulja Boy said the same thing to Huey when he was talking about Crimson Countess. He was like yeah. You know, I actually wanted to start a family with her, you know. Have a little boy, have a couple little boys and you know show them how to be a man.

58:11 So there's a lot of parallels that they've been showing us between Soulja Boy and Homeland the. So it's really not hard to figure out that that's where they were going with the story. Yeah, but still, it was one of those things when they actually said and I was just like, oh it's about to be some shit. It's about to be some shit because now you got to toxic men. Who are related, which again, no surprise. That's that whole nature versus nurture thing, Homeland or ask a soldier boy does. And they're both a little bit.

58:51 Yeah, they have mental problems. Yes, it helps youth. Yeah. What have PTSD and the other one has dissociative identity disorder. Excuse me, soldier boy, says, he does not have PTSD, he is fully aware of what is going on? Is that when those Russian songs, please, you don't know what's going on. That is only member that really happened. Come on baby. Let's remember that. But he remembers the pin house, he used to jack off like June the Danielle deneau bush. Like a Pomeranian comes like exactly. I was like and she was like, the things that come out of your mouth are so gross.

59:36 Like when you say, what did he say? He said he was like, you know, he's like your dick. Was it like a, like a Hoover over Deluxe? Gross. I mean Soulja Boy. Just and now we have two of them. I mean think about it. Commander is his son. Yep two and a half of them. Well, Ryan is not quite there yet and we have seen him and we haven't seen him in a couple of episodes. But yeah, it probably I mean, if you think about it, he doesn't have his mother's influence anymore. He doesn't have Billy even though Billy would not have been any better a role model.

1:00:26 So I guess in some ways we can kind of be thankful for that but it's like Billy home Lander He isn't it some anger issues though? He does. He does. So I don't know that that's going to be a whole interesting thing. And again we only have one episode left now. So I can't see them waiting to the next season two. I won't necessarily say resolved that part of the storyline but you know there's going to be some kind of Weather is going to still be a conflict between them because even though, yes, Homeland is finding out that Soulja Boy is his father.

1:01:10 I kind of sort of feel like for Homeland ER anything that's going to take the focus off of him. He's not going to welcome it even though we know he has been secretly yearning for that type of Father Figure he's looking for a connection with someone. He's looking for a sense of family which is why he matched are so hard to to Ryan. He's looking for that sense of family and now he possibly has it. But I feel like for home Lander, he may feel like that relationship will overshadow him like if it does come out o. So I mean think about the way, Vault will probably Spend It. Soulja Boy, comes back from the dead. He's been held captive by the Russians. All he wanted to do was reunited with his long-lost son. So he was going to do that by any means necessary and but they're going to spin it in that way, and then it's going to become distorted.

1:02:09 Story about Soulja Boy's homecoming and what he had to go through and this is going to overshadow Homeland and I don't think he's gonna like that regardless of who Soulja Boy is to him. He thinks all of this is supposed to be about him, think about it. When he first, when he realized Soulja Boy was alive, he was like, oh my God, this is gonna destroy ball. Oh, it's going to destroy me. So I don't know what that reveal is going to do for him, but I have a feeling it's not going to be good. It's not going to be good, Billy, and Huey, and mmm Annie. They are, they have a huge problem on their hands. Now, And I just, that's going to be interesting. Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how they deal with that.

1:03:00 All right, let's get to the Menage a Trois. I was just about to the movie. I was telling my, I was, I was editing the Hero gasm episode, and I came to the part where we started debating type of mammals, or type of animals that the Deep could have been messing around with and I was like, I think this is going To be our Tick-Tock clips. Oh man, I'm gonna pause because it the fact that we were even debating something like that was crazy enough.

1:03:42 But okay, let's, yes, let's get into this. Um, first of all, The deep and the way that he kind of talks his wife into this. She comes into the room, he was like oh but their work stuff down. Yeah. This come over here and talking. How about you get into this mu? And then he's like, so I know we love each other, but you have to admit that our sex life has been kind of vanilla lately. As she was looking at him like, scuse me like she was offended. He was like, so I just, you know, thought, maybe we could try to spice things up, you know. Maybe bring somebody else into it. She was like, who Do you have in mind? He was like oh look at that moment. She should have known better at that moment right there. Like you see shoulda known she should have fucking known. That's not his.

1:04:31 That's, that's all her. I'm, so that's on her. And once again, he says it was a straight piece with a straight face when he pulls. Behind the bed from behind the bed. Not even, not even in the fish tank behind the bed. He pulls it from the bag behind the bed. Now, you know, that plastic grocery bag can't hold water like that. Anyway, he pulls the octopus out. Talk about this is Ambrose. And she thinks you're she thinks you're really hot. Super hot. He's the kids. She thinks it's super sex.

1:05:21 Now, this is the crazy thing. Oh my God. So the next thing we see is of him in the bed, you know, he's gonna die. And they show him and Ambrosia is again attached. Heather to his nether regions and you actually see the motion looking like she is.

1:06:02 Going to town going to town. I'm sorry. You can't wait to taste you. And then the tentacle touches her leg and she's like, I'm out. And I was just like she did.

1:07:02 It was just more. Do you bribe is absolutely the fuck not. It's so dark. I'm still I'm still absolutely not. There is a limit, there is a limit to my love. I wish I wish I wish to God. I had the little the plug-in to give me a Jason Momoa face, huh? Like she wants to taste you. Some things are not meant to be crossed. Absolutely. And that is one of them.

1:07:43 What does she was like? Oh no. I can't dance. I can't do this. And he's like really absurd and so is the brochure pick Ambrose. I'm sorry Betsy in the entire series. Oh my gosh. It was like hold up. I can't and again Prague in profit to the prop Department because that shit looks like that shit look. I mean I was like, oh my God, this looks like a real octopus-like and then the conversation that happens afterwards sounds like Anthony and Mike in the last episode.

1:08:23 She was like you want me to fuck? Like. Well, first of all, she's a mollusk. So she has feelings and he's like, it's okay, baby, he puts her back in the water. It's just like, how long have you been? How long have you been screwing? It's behind my back. He's like, scuse me. It's not, it's a her. And then they go like, get your pronoun. Get your pronouns right. I was like a pro now. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He really went about this the wrong way. He's just showing her. Some tentacle porn. Like, he should have got some, some hentai Hi, he's the guy her, you know, prepared that much hands high in the world, ain't that much hentai in the world.

1:09:13 I love that she has. When that tentacle touches her legs, I've never seen some, you know, that shit was probably slimy and cold and wet. Move. Oh I'm sorry. It was are they I think that marriage is over because she's like giving up a whole year of my life for you. He was given by ten year at Vassar. I mean she's basically rebuilding his career like she's a man Ryan and I think that It was what her job was from the church was to do that and I'm sure now come into play later on, you know, down the road about a specifically why they chose for her to be attached to him, that way, and all that other stuff.

1:10:14 But yeah, though that was that was one of the best best seeds of Television. I think I've seen in my life and they did this thing with a straight face like y'all are arguing about the fact that she don't want to fuck her. I just was like what what? Like, oh. I just, she just needs time to cool off the song. Ain't that much cooling off in the world? You just lost the bet. Mmm. No. Ain't that much cooling off in the world. But like I said, I was over because she basically made it be like, look, I was the one who helped you, you know, get your, get your career back on track.

1:11:06 He was like, are you did was write a few lines. Yes. And what was it? He said, why did they it? He, if you're the, if you're the brains of the bunch, why did David Eggers say I had, what, what did he say? I was remarkably intelligent or something that he said, I was like, didn't nobody say that about you? Nobody called you intellect of any kind? Not without being paid, I'm just saying. That's still my God. Yeah, I'm going to kind of go with what Anthony said in the last episode. If I never see another scene with the deep and an octopus in any capacity, it will be too soon. We just, we don't need it.

1:11:51 Now that you, we have seen him eat an octopus. We have seen him fucking in articles. I don't need to see anything else. The next thing you all look, the only other thing that can show me is him walking an octopus like a dog and I think Past that now because he would have done that before. He actually had relations, see anything else knows he obviously has a type that's the yes, he has a type. I don't even know how to dignify that with a response. So we're going to we're going to move on because we need to talk about black noir is imaginary and his Chuck-E-Cheese fantasies like golly. I love when 20 TV shows do this because whenever I don't know if you guys have ever watched it, but I didn't like The Good Wife, but I watched the good fight and they do a lot of the skill to animation stuff known to make a point across whenever they're trying to do something.

1:12:50 And I love when she chose do this because it's like, it's brilliant because it gives you a break from the visual but at the same time you can get a lot more information in there and it makes it do you have to pay attention. So when I saw they were doing it I was like oh this is going to be good. So yeah so yeah. let's just say that black noir has history with Soulja Boy is Hella dramatic. And I think that may be an understatement. so black, the world goes into this old abandoned, Chuck-E-Cheese type establishment, and He has these these characters, you know, the characters kind of like what was it that you said Mike, you refer to them as something else in the last episode through a morphic know. He was talking about it, he was referencing like we didn't say Chuck E cheese.

1:13:50 I don't remember what it was, but for me, they reminded me of like, to get along gay. You remember that cartoon from the 80s to get along? Yeah. Uh-huh. That's kind of what it reminded me of. But anyway, so there are these characters that are on the wall and then he sits down and we see them kind of come to cartoon life and they're all coming to him, they're surrounding him. The showing him loves the obviously, these are the things that kind of helped him when he was younger and they mentioned certain things like apparently when he was when he was what they said, nine, he paralyzed.

1:14:31 and, He set something on fire somewhere else and apparently he pretty violent childhood. And these characters were the ones to kind of help him go through it, which is not surprising, you know, as kids, I think we've all had like imaginary friends or, you know, you kind of visualize that the the cartoons that you watch like those are your friends or whatever. Maybe not quite in the way that black noir. Imagines them, but we can kind of understand that whole thing, you know? Yeah. And plus, he was, I mean, you find out that he's been through a, through a heavy mental trauma. So, it's like, whatever he can cling to from his previous life. He's going to cling to fervently with both hands and not let go of.

1:15:22 I mean, yeah, it's like he paralyzes kid, and to be hitting the ball pit after he paralyzed a kid. And so, they got past his first erection in seventh grade. I'm like, oh god, that's way too much of her. Nation way too much information. I mean all that especially after Octopus sex like I don't need anymore. I don't need any more mention of sex when this episode ever at all. But one of the things that we do find because they're they're trying to tell him that he needs to face up to his fears, And then they're like, hey come over here, let us, let us show you something that, you know, that you kind of put in the back of your mind that you don't remember. So the the memory starts out.

1:16:11 I think you know they're putting all this memory for him almost like they're doing a stage show and what happens is you see a scene of Soulja Boy and I forgot which character it was but they're also cartoon animal characters. It was it was Gunpowder, okay? And they're sitting there, they're fighting each other their sparring or whatever the case is. But Soulja Boy is like whooping gunpowder's ass. And as they're finishing, black noir comes in. And he's kind of upset with Soulja Boy because apparently black noir was the one who was in the lead for Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop, but he lost out on that role because Soldier Boy bad-mouthed him.

1:17:02 And when he confronts Soulja Boy About It, Soulja Boy, was basically like you are not the actor. You're trying to be like me. You are nothing. You wouldn't, you wouldn't be perfect for this role. You're not funny. And then proceeds to start whipping black noir SAS like beating him to a pulp in front of everybody. Everybody is like, trying to stop him. He's not listening. And then once he finishes beating black and wore, he turns to all of them. Basically say you guys are nothing without me. If I add what the he what did he tell? Black noir, if I ever see you trying to rise up again or trying to I guess be better than him again, I will put you in the ground.

1:17:45 So, this is a person who feels the need to dominate. His friends his group. And once I saw this little part, I was like, oh that's why then Soldier is I'm sure you get the whole thing where he's also thing, where he said you've ever seen, you try to move on up like my mocking him for, like, like The Jeffersons is. I'll put you in a fucking ground. I was like, damn, dude. This goes back to what you said. How to go about? He doesn't want anyone out. Just how, how Homeland he doesn't want anyone out shine? Him. That's exactly the same way. We go through the second memory and it is of when they were in Nicaragua and black noir is having a conversation with stand Edgar.

1:18:39 And this is where they are decide. Okay. This is what we're going to do. We're going to we're going to give them to the Russians and black noir is like or rather Stan is like so is everybody can you get everybody on board with this everybody except gunpowder and he was like, okay, I need you to get, I need you to get this handled. So the flashback that we saw from Grace Mallory about what happened in Nicaragua, that was only partially true. Yes, they were Attacked. But the things that happen to to Soulja Boy, and also to Black War were not because of the attack. So payback starts fighting with Soulja Boy.

1:19:23 And of course, Soulja Boy is the strongest of them. He can, he's kind of holding his own with them. And then I think Crimson Countess comes behind him and muzzles him. But for my the mama control guy like kind of kind of got him a little bit with his mind control. Yeah. But before that I think he Corners black noir B him puts him on the hood of the Jeep and then he starts. Doing the same thing that he did to mine storm. He starts doing that to Black and wore.

1:20:04 And when we see the flashback From Grace, Mallory of black noir sitting there with heart of his brain gone that was because Soulja Boy did that. And You kind of see, even though we can't see his face, you kind of see a change in the body language of black noir. When his little cartoon friends are like, look, this is this is what your history with Soulja Boy is like, you've got to put an end to this, you got to stop running, you got to, you got to end this, you know. And I was just like How is this gonna?

1:20:45 I don't know because now at this point is kind of like the deck is starting to stack in weird ways because at first you thought it was going to be Soulja Boy versus payback which he's pretty much killed all of them except the one, I think the war is the only one that's left. You also have Butcher and Huey who are against home Lander. But now, Soulja Boy, is obviously going to jump that ship, he's going to be over on homeland, or side because home, Landers son, at least. That's what we think. But then again, Soulja Boy may have that same. I don't know, he may have that same mentality towards Homeland or that I was saying Homeland or might have towards him, not that he would want, not that he would be upset if Homeland or overshadows him, but I don't know if you think about the things that soldier boy has said, especially in terms of what it takes to, you know, to be a man. And what a man is who acts like a man and this that, and the other Home Lander and his need for acceptance and his search for love.

1:22:03 Wanting people to love him, wanting Stormfront to love him, wanting Ryan to love him, so much work. I take issue with that and be like, don't care about this kind of stuff. My kind of I was going to say back to that comment he made, you know, when bitches like he's the new you and he's like, there's no one like me. There's no one like me. Yeah, yeah. So I don't know. But not now you have black and wore and we know for a fact, obviously, that's the reason why black nor cannot speak. Because in the flashbacks we saw, he again he could talk. so, You got butcher.

1:22:49 Hughie black noir on this one side, okay? And that's that's if Blackman War If he actually does decide to go after Soulja Boy, to kind of end it because again, he's only one left. It's obvious that Soulja Boy is going through his old team. He's killing everybody. So at this point, black noir has no choice but to fight him back. If Soulja Boy comes for him, but you're talking about Soulja Boy and Homeland or the two strongest soups out of all of them. Soulja Boy was the strongest of his time home. Landers the Wrong disappears.

1:23:31 I don't know if I like those odds because even with that you got butcher chewy black noir. You've Got Annie Can we go now that she's got to be again? Hey Annie Annie Annie finds made when she goes to get the V then that would convey of on their side too. Yeah, if she decides to fight is we don't know where maeve's heavy is right now. We don't we don't it could be anywhere this point. I mean with her being locked up and like, you know, she's already like contemplating like the end of everything. So it's like, you know, she's suicidal or she just is going to go Kamikaze and be like, what the fuck ever either your diagram dying, we're going to fight it out.

1:24:19 Let's go. I mean, it's like, right? She's kind of in a bad state. Date right. So, I don't know. But, you know, Annie, you got to give it to her when she does go to find the B and she's confronted by Homeland, and Homeland is sitting there. You know, he's talking down to her, he's threatening her threatening, Huey, she pulls out her phone, and she was like, yeah, you know, you just said this to my 190 million followers, he tries to play it off like, you know, you're not supposed to be recording Lori running lines. I was like, no, dude, she got you, she got you in 4k.

1:25:01 Yep. So you know, he should be really glad or she should be glad that. He just didn't have one of those moments where he like flip the switch and just like decided like choke her out or punch her because then it would early would have been over for him, but that was really a move that she did with that. I mean, she was alive. But Homeland are starting to lose it. You know, you got all of these accusations coming from Starlight or excuse me, an e and now it like you just literally confirmed everything that she's been saying.

1:25:41 He goes to this rally for Bob singer and instead of endorsing Bob singer as a political candidate, all he's doing is ranting and raving about Starlight to the point where Victoria Newman has to find him and the stable. After he just milked the cow with the glass of milk, I mean, yeah. But you know what they mean? He'd have to make those faces while he was milking the cows like oh but he did. This is Homeland or he did have to make those faces. Oh my God.

1:26:21 Ickiness for Homeland because we haven't had anything milk related with him in a while. Oh my God. They had to remind us that. This was a thing for him. But I don't know what it is. That Victoria? No man wants because she comes to him and she's like, look, you need to get your shit together. You need to do this, you need to do that. You need to like admit Soulja Boy is alive and and take control of the situation and he gets ready to like. I don't know if he was going to kill her if he was just threatening her but she was like look I'm just trying to help you do one thing for me and I can help you. And I was like that sounds kind of weird, considering you just came into the place where he was like literally acting out the satisfaction of one of his fetishes and then you're like, okay, will you do for me?

1:27:13 And I'll do for you. But he gives, she gives him a piece of paper and I don't know what the paper was, but he looked at it. He was like, where did you get this? I was like, oh, what is on this piece of paper? I guess we'll find out the next episode but I was like, I don't know if I trust any kind of partnership with those two. because one, you don't know if one is going to betray the other and what kind of consequences that will have but at the same time, you don't know if they will work well together and what kind of consequences that will have I think she's still trying to go along with the wait Stan wanted to do, you think I think in and I think part of that has to do with her, you know, going into the political realm because the only reason why they introduced the guy running for vice president easier. Probably, you know, oh yeah, this is the do we're going to get rid of so she can be the vice president basically. Yeah.

1:28:24 If they forgot about the guy who Was introduced. But yeah. Yeah they introduced him and I was sitting there thinking I was like, dude you're not going to be on Salon but yeah that makes perfect sense. Yeah if he goes along with with what happened in the comic books that's that's one of the things that happen that the character Victor V that she supposed to have you know, be based on becomes president. So Becomes the president so that means Bobby Singer won't be around for too much longer. Yeah, I don't remember how it happened in the comic but yeah. Okay, good Bobby. Anyway, not to got to get rid of body. It's not, that's my dude.

1:29:07 Let's see. A link to see what else is there. We talked about the rally and it just happens to be the at this rally where home Lander is going off about Starlight and everything. This is the same I'm rally that Todd was that with Janine that we talked about and way at the beginning of this episode. And Todd is sitting there, he's cheering Homeland, Iran and doing all this stuff. I was like this is not gonna work out well for him so I don't know who sent. Who sent mother's milk the the Instagram post or was it just that? It was a notification that came through and he got it but I was like somebody sent him that post of his daughter and stepfather at this rally.

1:29:55 And he was like, oh absolutely not left out so fast. I was like, yeah, he about to go take care of that. Telling you Todd, you are not. You are not built. It's a brawl with mother's milk. You know, that was evidenced. By the way. He went down with one punch. It was out. Now she knows, you know, Marvin had to put some oomph into that punch too. And probably had to hold himself back because I'm yeah, he probably could have broken ties face with your mouth.

1:30:37 I tell you. He broke that man. Spirit. That's what he did. He's lucky. That's the only thing he wrote hope he broke his nose to fucker. I'm telling you decide what you want. Todd. Now what you want? I'm sorry I need money to get. I need more need to handle her business. I need her to handle her business and she needs to put some boundaries on that, that boyfriend, husband, whatever he is. No, she let me know. She's do better. She's do a better job because you do like I told you I'm like, you don't want to tell him because obviously a pay attention to you. No, no, she just she, I'm sorry, she yeah. She needs to really, really understand that this man is hurt.

1:31:29 Now I know they're not together. I know she's moved on but the it's nothing else. The lack of respect that Todd has for for mother's milk as the girl's father. I mean, the ike, it's like, I can't see any mother be like, oh yeah, that's fine. No, I mean, yeah. Yeah, so what they're not together, so what she's moved on, check him. Okay. You need reject odd, absolute this home safe, that's okay. Mother's milk. Did it for 10 checked his ass? He deserved it. No doubt. You have nothing between them. Marvel's trying to tell him was really He was the saying you put her in danger like first of all, you don't know what's going to happen.

1:32:16 People shit happens around Homeland, we have you believe all the other stuff for not right? He's happening around him and people get hurt, don't take her to a Homeland, the rally, you know? But that's basically it and I think this would, what's your name? I can't remember. The ex-wife's name. Monique Monique. That was her problem, too. Like why did you do that? You know, I think also to maybe with Monique because Marvin has voiced his opinion about superheroes and home Lander specifically before he did it at Janine's birthday party.

1:32:58 Yeah. Well the fact that he is made that known and then Todd went and did it. Anyway. I think that's that was part of what Janine was like, excuse me. You did what without talking to To me because again, yeah, I understand you heard stepfather. That child still has a mother in the house. Emily says, left with her before anything, if she knows enough of the truth. Like what really happens to know that? That's not something you want to play around with being around supers and she probably knows a little bit of the truth about Homeland or two because of Marvin, right? so, I don't know, like I said, I'm still confused as to how Jeanine and tie ended up together in the first place. I understand what ya'll said before by their opposites and I, um, There's opposites and then there's what the fuck were you thinking?

1:33:57 And Todd is part of that, what the fuck were you thinking? I can tell you exactly why she fell for him. Complete opposite of Mother's Milk stable, decent job home every night. Not run around, not crazy, not paranoid. I mean, I get it, he's not crazy, he's on he's on line, following all these conspiracy theorists and all this other stuff is just like for us a different crazy. There's opposite right? It is Yeah. What the fuck were you thinking? And Well on paper, he's a lot on paper, he's a lot more stable, he's teacher, you know, I mean, I get that but at the same time, who knows? When people somebody Falls for somebody you just you don't know.

1:34:53 But to me, it just seems like I'm just gonna say it just seems like Todd. Seems like he's a very Easily influenced, very weak minded type of a person and that anything, you know, like okay. Yeah, somebody said something to me the other the other week which stuck in my head. Someone said someone referred to them as a crab and I had to ask them what they meant by that and they explained it to me and I was like oh you know, I was okay so I wouldn't say he's what they would call a crab but he's someone who's easily influence to the point where he begins to rationalize Eyes the outcome, and the results of what this other person is doing, in order to make himself feel better. I mean, I there's, there's there's groups of people in this country who who basically felt fear for the very first time because of whatever circumstances and they turn to something.

1:35:48 Whether it's religion, whether it's politics, whether it's comic book are or whatever, but sometimes people just want answers to something that they don't have answers for. For and they when they find something that makes them feel good. They stick with it even though they know it's wrong. So I think that's Todd I guess I still feel like he's a what the fuck were you thinking? Being the Oz. All turn out to be like I mean eventually they turn out to be like that but at the moment you're like, okay that's kind of cool but then it's like, oh god what the fuck was I thinking? It's just like you know articles of clothing or cars or other bad decisions that you might make in life. Hmm.

1:36:34 I may not I may or may not wholeheartedly just stain and hope there's never pictures of anything. I warned the 90s. So, as far as bad decisions are concerned whether or the hair me and me a T-Boz, we'll just like for a while. What about your friends? I get your point You might give you not want any, it's okay. Don't want you to know. You know, life choices.

1:37:31 You know, those those satin genes that they used to have, I may have had a few pair warm in public. Yeah. Did we miss anything? It was the song. You know. Other. I don't think we did but I think the biggest thing for me with this episode is, again the animation, the I love the way they told the story. The fact that, you know, we find out a few who, you know, moments about Soulja Boy and about whole answer. But I have to say is a penultimate episode, it wasn't that good. I mean, who we thought Soulja Boy was a douche before. Like, oh, well, it's people were shot. I'm shout out to shout out to Jensen, Ackles for singing the Jimmy's Soul classic.

1:38:22 If you want to be happy for the rest of your life. At the beginning of the episode. Cringe. Worthy. Oh my God! That was awesome. That was so cringe-worthy. And then Paul Reiser, scared to talk about was the one who produced that shit again, Paul Reiser, should get nominated for something for being in this. In this episode in the series hilarious, these characters and areas. But you know it's interesting because you know, when he comes in and toss them he was like what are you looking at? And what did he say? Pastor say Thanks.

1:39:03 It's just like he starts voice. In the things about how, you know, how things were back then he's like, yeah. You know what? We were full of shit. I mean that's basically the gist. This is full of shit and I got paid off of it. I got rich and it's almost like he's sitting there and you can feel how disgusted he is with himself. because yeah, you are the person who enabled All of these. These people the people like Soulja Boy to exist the way that they were and not check them, not correct them. Nothing. So this is why Soulja, Boy is a major douche who sitting downstairs screwing your housekeepers right now? Well, this room fixed smells like referring being gay. The way, the way the legend meeting scene, which, you know, Zofran, Interpretation.

1:40:02 He had more control over them than vaulted, like he was able to manage them and control them and, you know, keep their predilections, you know, to themselves. It was Vault to wasn't concerned about collateral damage, right? Yeah. And that me, which, which makes you wonder what happened along. The way, that that change. Because if they were able to control them to that point back, then there's no reason why they can't control. You talked about that in the preview in the previous episode for that way. Yeah, he got pushed out Hammonds that something had. Yeah, I think he did say something about that, especially like, with the way things are.

1:40:44 Now, you know, a lot of these soups their reputation. And their star power is basically, like the result of social media, and all of those algorithms, and that sort of thing. So, in a sense, it's kind of like, the public control Shows how popular those superheroes are. And depending on how popular they are, like, with the seven, the seven can get away with anything. Because they have that. They have that they have that following. They have a reason for vote to say, okay, you know what will keep them at the top because they are the the public is the one, you know, the public is making the soups profitable.

1:41:30 And that's what Vaught wants, okay? So who's going to push us into this part of the stratosphere? But unfortunately even with the craziness going on with from Homeland, or he still is like the top soup for them. So I don't know. I'll I'm going to say is this last episode is going to be real hella interesting. Oh, do we talk about how Soldier Boys are fraud? Why me? That was kind of, that was kind of a given. You know, I stormed Normandy. I fought the not if I sit and do nothing but, you know, when she would try to tell me, yeah, you're being fake.

1:42:16 But I think it's a to the face stop. So yeah. He will. You got superpowers but you can go technique. Exactly. Who are you? Do I need to end it right there. I need to end it right there. That's it for our show. And you can listen to us.
