SPEAKER_01 0:56

And then I got done with my toe, I got done with my nails, and I looked down at my toes. I'm like, fuck, I didn't do the pedicure. Because you I always do my pedicure first. That weighs it, you know, at the machine. Now I'm like, fuck. So now I have red toenails, with which is fine. It's not sandal weather quite yet. Yeah. Like I could wear sandals, but I cannot not wear sandals. So I'm like, okay, I'm safe.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:21

And I'm co-host Agnes. And I'm drinking what Lisa calls grass. It's much a latte. I bought myself a frother. So my code foam. I was just like, you know what? I'm tired to sh because when you shake it, it's just not the same. So I'm like, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:44

Ass, grass, it's all the same shit. Heart takes. If grass had ass, it would taste like matcha. Okay. Have you ever tasted grass ass then? No, but I mean I can guess.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

But oh, I I I always make like a matcha, a matcha chai latte, because I always add I add um.

SPEAKER_00 2:09

Yeah, that's another one I can pass on happily.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

Yeah, you don't like chai. I add cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon to it.

SPEAKER_00 2:17

My stomach is already like Oh, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_01 2:20

There's some listeners that might appreciate it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 2:23

Yeah, I mean, no, no shade if you like that, but no, it is just it is not for me. It does not agree with my stomach or my taste buds. So we fight.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

No grass and no chai grass.

SPEAKER_00 2:35

No, everybody else can have it. I will not be competing for that. I will not help the supply and demand chain on that one.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

No chai grass ass.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

I I don't really have any hot takes except that it's a little exciting because we're getting very close to the end of the series.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

And we're exciting.

SPEAKER_00 3:00

Yeah, and so we're starting to see the way the threads are gonna be kind of tied off.

SPEAKER_01 3:08

Or not.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

Well, let's go. I'll hope. You know, but I'll hope.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

And you keep saying I know, like I remember what I watched five years ago, five, six, seven years ago. I don't remember what I watched five minutes ago.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

Then I don't understand why we're doing a show that one of us has seen and one of us hasn't, if you don't even remember what you've seen. So, like, you know.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

New perspective.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

Okay. And I I just feel like we're we're gonna well, okay. I'm hoping, based on this episode, that we are going to see more and more behind Rio's curtain.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

Behind the curtain.

SPEAKER_00 3:49

I wonder how many people understand that reference. I got it. I know you got it. But like, okay, but like I know for a fact, like I said something where we played a trivia question, it was like something so easy about the yellow brick road. Uh-huh. And my daughter was just like, I have no idea. And we're like, wait, what? And she's like, I don't I don't know the answer. And we're all just staring at her, and then we realize, but she's never seen that movie. I feel like okay. So maybe the younger generation, you know, just it it's not a thing like it was for us. Like we I failed. I feel like I did. No, we stopped the game and I put on the movie.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

She's like, I fail as a parent, no more of this game. Have you or she have any of the kids seen the whiz? Probably not. I think if they didn't see, I mean, I could see them with the.

SPEAKER_00 4:39

Well, it was only it was only Amaya.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

Oh, okay, that's fine.

SPEAKER_00 4:43

Who hadn't seen Wizard of Oz. But I don't know if any of them have seen the whiz. I mean, I've seen it.

SPEAKER_02 4:49

He's all down. He's so down, he's all down the room. I know.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

All right, anyway.

SPEAKER_01 4:56

All my listeners just shut them, they just shut it off. They're like, okay, they're singing, time to go.

SPEAKER_00 5:02

Yeah, so that's that's my kind of hot take. Is just I'm excited to see how it wraps up closer and closer.

SPEAKER_02 5:12

Okay. Coolious. I haven't seen you in three weeks.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

I know.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

I missed you.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

I miss me too. Yeah, I don't know. I just I'm fucking dying, but okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:29

You can't die after we finish this episode.

SPEAKER_00 5:32

I think I can hang on that long. Okay. You know how tired I am? I didn't eat anything but breakfast yesterday, okay? I was out in the sun for like 11 hours. Well, look, where's the tan? I mean, you can see I got a little sun.

SPEAKER_01 5:50

If I think about sun, I get a tan.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

I know. But but considering that I was out all day in the hot sun, no sunscreen, because what's sunscreen? And where's where's my fucking tan? Funny story. One about well, the last But at least I don't really burn. So I'll tell you.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

No, you don't burn. I don't. One of the conventions that Lisa and I went to, I don't like the sun. I don't like being hot. I hate the sun. So we got like lounge chairs chairs under like a little canopy. But she had hers where the sun hit her. Yeah, pulled mine out. I ran to the bathroom, ran back. At the end of the day, we left. I got a nice fucking tan. Can you receive the marking from my watch? Lisa, as white as she went in, she left, she walked out again.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

And I laid in the full fucking Florida sun. She moved a few hours. She moved it. She followed that. I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I kept following the sun after it would have hit a tree or something. No, nothing. Nothing.

SPEAKER_01 6:57

I go to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

Yeah. Like after three days in Florida, I had maybe one shade darker.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

She doesn't even need to change her foundation. That's how I'm going to do that. Exactly. I have to check I have to change my foundation twice a year. So you know, when problems. First word problems.

SPEAKER_00 7:17

Right, sir. I want a tan. She wants to change that foundation. I want a tan. And the son is like, you and you, but not you. Sorry. Not I. I mean, listen, I'm I'm sure there are people who are like, no, that's great. But like, I would like a tan. I mean, I I do appreciate that I can forget to wear sunscreen and not come home looking like a tomato.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

So see another silver lining.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

I guess. I guess.

SPEAKER_01 7:53

But anyway. Orange.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

Uh oh. Oh. There are so many reasons. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, because usually I put my cream on, like my my face cream, and I have a little bit of SPF. But because we literally started at the ass crack of dawn yesterday, I I just was like not in the mental. And I worked late Friday night. Like, you know, I didn't get home from work until like 10 something. So it was just all I wanted to do was make sure she had everything ready so that I can wake us up at like five something in the morning. And I forgot, I didn't even put that on my face. So I had zero like SPF on my face. So again, just glad I didn't.

SPEAKER_01 8:47

What is it to rub you down with olive oil and see what happens?

SPEAKER_00 8:50

I used to do that like when I was younger. Did it work? I mean, yeah, I would get, I would, then I would get a tan. But like it's so bad for you. Well, you used to use baby oil, but I feel like that's still taboo now. Is there any baby oil left in the world? I don't even know.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

But like we're taking it off the shells.

SPEAKER_00 9:09

Seriously. Like he he might have used it all and there's none left for the rest of us. Get some new babies.

SPEAKER_02 9:17

Oh well.

SPEAKER_01 9:22

I'm watching Sons of Anarchy. I'm addicted.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

Tell the listeners why you decided to watch Sons of Anarchy.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

Because Lisa fucking cockteas me that was gonna be her pick. I said it might be. I'm like, so we're going back and forth. I'm thinking, yeah, do something like I'll watch that. Once I said yes, I would watch that. She's like, no, we're not doing that. I was like, okay, fine, fuck you. I'll watch it on my own.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

I I didn't say it because you said that. It was scorn between two. And then I was like, no, I want to do this one first. And then you were like, fuck you, and I'm watching it. Fine. We should have picked it because I don't think you've ever been this enthusiastic before.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

You really should have. I told you to pick it.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

Yeah. Well, you know, what good am I if I'm not pissing you off? So friend would I be.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

The one scene I just finished watching season three, whatever, end of season three, and they pulled this woman and she's speaking nothing but Spanish. And Clay goes, Don't you speak Spanish? talking to Juice. And he just looks his head down. He's like, You're kidding me? He was like, I'm a Puerto Rican from the Queens. The most I speak is Yiddish. Right, right. That's so fucking true.

SPEAKER_00 10:43

Yeah. I mean, my Spanish ain't great either. I'm a Puerto Rican from Brooklyn. Right, but you usually speak Spanish. But like, you know, you know how many words that like are in other languages? And it wasn't until I was like more of an adult that I'm like, oh, that's Yiddish, that's this, that's that, like, that's Russian. That the fuck do I know? Like, that's New York. It's a North language. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

I think I spoke more Spanish than my daughter's father did. He was straight Puerto Rican. I'm like, how do you not speak Spanish? He's like, I'm from New York. I was like, okay.

unknown 11:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:19

Fucking New Yorkans, you know.

unknown 11:21

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

You speak New York. I speak New York, which means it's the magnumation of 600 different languages. And everyone speaks those 600 languages. Everyone speaks mixture.

SPEAKER_00 11:33

Yeah. Got some Hebrew, some Spanish, some Yiddish, some Russian, Italian, like what whatever. And we and and legit, the funniest part for me is just that I had no idea that those were words in like actual different languages. I mean, except for like the sp- you know, Spanish, but like, but like the other ones, I'm like, I just thought that was like, you know, English, because it's but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:58

It's New York. It's New York. New York has its own language. And true New Yorkers speak that language. Like you have a full sentence that have four different languages in it. And no matter who you come across, we'll actually speak that language. Deadass. I am teaching my coworker New York slang.

SPEAKER_00 12:15

No, don't teach him that. But it's so funny They didn't earn it.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

But to hear her trying to like use some of the stuff, it's hysterical. It's so cute. She goes, What? She goes, Are they giving me agita? I was like, okay, yes, yes, they give you agenda. I said, but aren't you Italian? I said, no, but you're Midwest Italian. It's different. She's like, yes, it's very different. She's so cute.

unknown 12:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

So that's the end of my episode.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

Thank you for joining us. Thank you for talking. Joining us for New York Talk hour. 15 minutes. New York Talk.

SPEAKER_01 12:52

Oh my god, I heard it. So Kelly, hi Kelly. Every time I say something, she just looks at me because certain words come out real strong. And she just looks at me. I'm like, shut up. So I have to like throw pins at her. I keep things in my hand. No, gentle things. So I could just throw at her because I know she's gonna say something. So there's some words I don't want to say anymore around her.

SPEAKER_00 13:16

Yeah. I throw things at work too. But it's usually like sh ice and sugar packets. That's fair. And it's usually at the same person. That was also fair.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

So you know.

SPEAKER_01 13:33

Okay. Season four. Episode eight. Broken toys. Now let's start off. The very first scene, we see a child. Rio's writing his name on top of a drawing. That casting was good. Huh? That casting was good. Casting was amazing. Yeah. Because even without them, without you looking at context, you could tell who was who.

SPEAKER_00 13:57

Right, right. Amazing. And he looks like Pup. Yes. Is it the same kid? It's maybe the same kid. I don't know. Maybe it's his brother. Because I don't know. We haven't seen him in a while. And so like obviously kids grow like drastically at that age. So I wonder if it is the same kid now that you mention it. We might have to we'll have to check that out.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

I'm gonna have to check IDMB, yeah. Um duh. So Rio lives with his Grisham-loving grandmother. Can't fault her for that one, and his brother cousin, Nick. At this point, we don't care who they are, they're they're family. I'm thinking they're cousins.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

Well, cousin brother.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Brother, cousin, cousin, brother. That's why it's not same thing.

SPEAKER_00 14:44

No, I know, but it but every time that's I only think that's the thing, right? He's like the the the other the not Rio relative is like okay, brother, and Rio's always like cousin. Cousin. And it's every single time that the other guy I can't think of his name. Nick. Okay. Nick is like brother and Rio's cousin. So so like I don't know what the fuck.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

But I think at one point Rio's brother and Nick goes cousin. Like I think to like true point. Like, make up your fucking mind.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

But you know, as we see, Nick isn't as goody two shoes as he is portrayed to be he portrays himself to be. At the present time, we get a real opportunity here. Real telling Beth. He wants her to keep them busy, and that's Agent DL and Agent Hot Mess.

SPEAKER_00 15:38

DL Dave and Hot Mess?

SPEAKER_01 15:40

Yes. Agent DL Bikuna.

SPEAKER_00 15:44

I think I think we screwed up at one point, right? Because I remember when Beth went to grandma's house and hid the tracker and real, you know, the whole figure thing. I I think that we attributed the figuring it out to DL Dave, and I think it was actually Agent Hot Mess who figured it out. And it was because in in the It was Hot Mess who figured it out, yeah. Yeah, but I think when we were talking about it, we said that it was him who figured it out.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

And it but like this because I remember thinking like when I watched and I was like, right, it was her. Because if we were arguing.

SPEAKER_01 16:28

And then she's just like, hello, don't you fucking know?

SPEAKER_00 16:31

Yeah. Right, right, right. So, like in this episode, I forgot what it which scene it was, but it it's when it clicked for me that it wasn't him. And I don't know why I thought it was him, but anyway, I just wanted to tell people that I'm not an actual complete moron, only a little bit. Just a partial one, just a partial one, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

And it's temporary. It's not like you're right, it's a temporary sometimes thing. It's not like it's yeah.

unknown 16:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:00

I feel the need to be a little bit redeemed because I'm I'm having a bruff day. So I just I need a little bit more.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

Lisa is not a moron at all. At all.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Oh, well, let me tell you something. Lisa is the kind of person who, if Lisa had a dollar for every time she made a mistake or fucked up, Lisa wouldn't need a job. So, you know, but I will always admit to my fuck-ups.

SPEAKER_01 17:26

You would have to in order to get that dollar.

SPEAKER_00 17:28

I already do for free. You're like the dollar would be a bonus. Give me a dollar. Yeah. How many dollars I would make? I'd I'd have more dollars than Gene Strip Club. Shit. Not only would I wouldn't need a job, but I'd have a vacation and a jet to take me there.

SPEAKER_02 17:48

Oh, you could be president. I don't know. Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

Oh god. I would have an island. Yeah. That the president didn't visit.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

I feel like islands are taboo to say now too at this point.

SPEAKER_00 18:01

I would have an island, but it would not be filled with small children. We can't talk about baby laws. I'm sorry. And oh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 18:08

You can't talk about anything.

SPEAKER_00 18:09

You know, underage women, aka children. Children. My island would be filled with me and animals. Animals. Right. There would be a giant fucking wave pool slash lagoon for a floaty lazy river around the perimeter. Okay? There would be a giant electrified fence so that nobody could get the fuck on it because I want to be left the fuck alone. And the and the animals can't leave you because you're just an island, so unless they can swim, they got I could be like, she won't stop loving us. The animals might file a complaint. Yeah. Okay? This bitch is all over us. Let us be. She's not alone. She's just loving us. She's just kidding us. They're like telling us how cute we are. And I will call him George. Yes. Abso fucking lutely. They would. You know what? I might have to name them all George. Okay. Because I love him. Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

Right, right, right, right. If you get it, you get it.

SPEAKER_00 19:10

Anyhow, I'm sorry, I interrupted.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

When Rio tells Beth to keep them busy, he's actually referring to the agents that were surveilling outside her house in a van. Very inconspicuous. Inconspicuous. I quit. I can't do this today. Oh, okay. We're gonna forget that I said that word, okay? We're gonna move on. They they know what word. It's fine. Okay, quite nose. Beth is worried that she'll end up in jail. And Rio's like, I'm not asking you. He goes, keep your head up, champ.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

Yeah, because he's like distract him and she's just like, you mean the people who are outside my house, like surveilling everything that I do? But also, also, I just want to point out that right now, sh, you know, I hope that she was telling Rio a lie because I'm sorry, but like when Dean was like, hey, I got us a hot tub so that you could talk in quiet because they can't hear over, and she's like, Dean, no one's listening. So which is it, Beth? Which is it? Is no one listening or are they surveilling your every move?

SPEAKER_01 20:22

I think the writers forgot that scene.

SPEAKER_00 20:25

Yeah, well, I didn't. They should be like, they need to go through you every time they not only that, but I I and I caught uh another editing fuck up in this episode.

SPEAKER_02 20:37

Oh, do tell when we get there. When we get there.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

While out for a bike ride, wow, that did not come out in English. My tongue. I can I can feel my tongue doing this. Dean's friends are telling him about this the the system. And it's a men's skincare system. It's also an MLM MLM.

SPEAKER_00 21:01

But that's not an MLM. Right. It's not, but it is. It is the Because because none of the MLMs are ever MLMs. Right. Because the first rule of MLM give up being a dog today. I know. They're never that.

SPEAKER_01 21:17

There's no fight club. Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

Right. Until you're broke and you can't unload your fucking inventory, and then you're like, oh, why did I do this?

SPEAKER_01 21:26

This is a I don't understand how that always gets people because it's like the story stays the same. The results are not going to change. How is this one ever going to be changed?

SPEAKER_00 21:36

You know, I think what the trick is, honestly, is that I think that many of them have the potential to give you some earnings. But you have to know when to call it quit. It it's like gambling. You know, like you go in and you and you you make a little money, right? You you win, cash out. Don't keep Don't keep gambling.

SPEAKER_01 22:01

But I think the tr I think what they do is along with the whole mind game and the con art the con artist thing that they do, that you do sign a contract. And they're like, there's always those loopholes that you're kind of like always stuck in it.

SPEAKER_00 22:15

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

Oh, you're not.

SPEAKER_00 22:17

But it was here. It was it was in this scene when they were all talking to Dean, that they're like sitting on the park benches or whatever, and the one guy. I think it was Brecken Meyer who who it's his his helmet. But anyway, there was the bike behind the last guy. But I feel like he still had his helmet on. But anyway, that it doesn't even matter. There was a red helmet on the bike handle. And like in the beginning of that scene, it was on like the right hand side of the bike. And then by the end of the scene, it was on the left. But nobody went near the bike to move it. So interesting. Because when you look at the guy, so here's how I noticed. Because when monk, the the last guy, because it was like Dean Breckenmeyer and the other guy. And I'm looking at the guy and I'm like, what is red on his ass? Like I and I I was like, why is his ass red? And then I realized, oh, that's a helmet. Like it's a bike helmet on the bike, hanging over the bike. But then by the end of the scene, the bike helmet's on the other side of him.

SPEAKER_01 23:22

Someone wasn't looking with continuity.

SPEAKER_00 23:24

Yeah, well, I was.

SPEAKER_01 23:26

I think I think you need to think about changing your job. I'm available. You can probably get more. I let's go. I'm gonna pimp you out to Hollywood. Oh, wait, I didn't come out right.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

Well, listen, if it gets me rolls, you know, go get Harvey on the line. He's available.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

She looks very satisfied with that Laman liner, people. I really wish you could see her right now.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

I'm sh- I'm just trying to like relax. Um, you know, I just I worked this morning. I'm tired.

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Oh no, what they said was it's not a pyramid scheme, it's a multi-level opportunity. Right.

SPEAKER_00 24:04

So it's not an MLM, it's an MLO.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

It's a huge difference, Lisa. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00 24:09

You're right. My mistake. I know. How could I ever be so wrong?

SPEAKER_01 24:13

I know. So he says he's gonna think about it, which in Dean language means I'm in. At the club, we're all friends.

SPEAKER_02 24:27

At the club. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 24:34

I've been waiting for an opportunity to say that all my life. Okay. At the club, we're all friends. Okay. Stan tells the dancers that Gene doesn't respect you. And this is where his normal his normal Jean comes in, and he's trying to get them to go on strike. And the next thing you see him telling Ruby about it, and she's just like, that's the dumbest idea. That's the dumbest idea. He goes, but wait, there's more. And she's like, That's still the dumbest idea. What did the girl say? It's the dumb idea.

unknown 25:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

But I was back him trying. I right. And I love that she just is so like unfiltered with him, and he doesn't take it personally. He's just like, Yeah, that's what they said. Like, okay. Nice try. But he knows, he knows she's not gonna lead him wrong, you know? And that's that's trust. Except for leading them both into a crime, but small technicality.

SPEAKER_01 25:37

You know if you overlook that part. I mean, eh, it's fine. Beth is watching the kids fight over a toy. The little girl wants the toy, and the little and the boy's like, no, I want this in my toy. What about I give you this one? She's like, okay. And Beth goes, or I think Dean says, Isn't that one broken? The son goes, Yeah, but it'll keep her busy. So I'm just like, and then all of a sudden Beth goes from like being zoned out to you can see the light bulb clicking.

SPEAKER_00 26:05

Sitting in her fucking living room hot tub.

SPEAKER_01 26:08

We need a hot tub. But you see how the whole in the shower thing works with us? Like, oh, I can't same premise. Yeah. A hot tub in your living room. Lisa, let's get a hot tub for our living room.

SPEAKER_00 26:19

I I keep telling Alex we need to put one in the basement. I'm gonna get the blow-up one because it's like really the only kind of hot tub we could afford these days. And then I was like, and in the winter, we'll just put it in the basement. Like, you know, because I'm always like, God forbid it like leaks or something. At least it's already in the basement. Like, you know, it's cement down there.

SPEAKER_01 26:36

I think we should do that. We just definitely should do that.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

And he just laughs at me.

SPEAKER_01 26:42

Are you sure my mother wouldn't mind if I change her room into a hot tub?

SPEAKER_00 26:47

Yeah, the only thing is, can your floors handle that weight?

SPEAKER_01 26:51

This floor's fuck no. I don't even think the basement can handle it.

SPEAKER_00 26:55

Let me tell you, that was a major concern when I was giving birth. I was like, are these floors gonna hold the weight of this tub and me in it? Or are me and my baby gonna fall through the floor? But it held. So, you know.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

You can't walk on it now. I'm just joking.

SPEAKER_00 27:18

Oh, well, I don't care. I don't live there anymore. Well, that's why it was another It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

SPEAKER_01 27:24

It's fine, it's fine. It's fine. I don't think my basement could hold that weight. Of course it could. No, not you, you not this building. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

It's it's in your basement cement. Could pop? Isn't your basement cement?

SPEAKER_01 27:37

Yes. I don't know what I don't know. I don't I don't know what's under the cement. That's not that's almost just what I'm trying to say.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

I'm like, that's one way to find out.

SPEAKER_01 27:45

Let's let's go get a hot tub.

unknown 27:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

Okay, cool. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. When she's now mind you, at this time, you're like, what the hell does she come up with? She tells what's her name, Annie and Ruby, her idea. But as she's telling them, and it doesn't make sense to me. I'm like, I was there when she thought the idea. I still don't know where she's going with this. And then Ruby goes, not Ruby, Annie goes, oh, so we're gonna frame somebody. And she's like, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 28:18

Don't know how she got that, but Annie, at least it's like, wait, but the and the whole time, right? Because like when they walk in, Ruby's like, what are we doing? Like, I have work in the morning, and Beth is completely ignoring her and just going like sentence by sentence, so to speak, about I have an idea. And Ruby's like, I have to be at work early. And Beth is like, yeah, and and and this is brilliant. And Ruby's like, maybe I should call them and tell them that I'm gonna be late. And Beth is once she gets to like the whole like climax of her idea, Ruby's like, And it still makes no sense. Yeah, Annie is handing Ruby the phone, and Ruby's like, I'm just gonna call in sick, and she and Annie's like, Yep, I think that's a smart idea. I love that it's kind of like three separate conversations in the same conversation.

SPEAKER_01 29:05

In the same thing, and it all makes sense, it's all interconnected. It's kind of like us, but we have like six, we can you and I alone can have six conversations. Well, all our personalities each makes sense. We are exhausting people. Yes. Someone listening is I know someone's thinking they must be exhausting. Yes. We are. We are very much so.

SPEAKER_00 29:32

But also, you wish it knew us.

SPEAKER_01 29:35

Fucking fun as fuck.

SPEAKER_00 29:36

Hell yeah. We don't say no. No, we don't. To each other, we're not gonna that really didn't come out right. I took it back.

SPEAKER_02 29:46

Yeah, I mean I took it back.

SPEAKER_01 29:49

Oh, okay. Listen, we still we're going to erase that part. It never happened. Rewind. Nick visits Beth to return a cardigan that that she had left at his house when they had dinner and the whole finger situation happened. I'm going to be doing this throughout the season with the fingers.

SPEAKER_00 30:10

I have a dumb thing to say. No, you she was taking her laundered money out of the literal dryer. Okay? Like after she literally laundered it. And then she puts the money in the basket with some towels and she puts it on the counter because she's about to put it in a duffel bag when the door when there's a knock on the door.

SPEAKER_01 30:33

Why didn't she just take the basket and put in the laundry room?

SPEAKER_00 30:35

Thank you. That bothered me too. You don't know who's coming to your house. Exactly. And when your name is Beth Boland, people literally just show up at any time, any moment, you know, into your house, and you think you haven't learned in four seasons to hide the goddamn evidence.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

Yeah. Okay. That kind of pissed me off, too. Yeah. Because that was my safe thought. And it's funny you mention it because I'm as I'm thinking that thought, I'm like, Lisa's thinking the same thing.

SPEAKER_00 31:10

Yeah.

unknown 31:12

God.

SPEAKER_00 31:12

As soon as it was a knock on the door, and I'm like, and so the thing is that it cuts. Like, you don't see her go to the door. You see her standing there with the basket, you hear the knock, and then the next thing you see is her opening the door. So you're like, I hope she moved that basket. You saw her put stuff on, you saw you saw her put more clothes on top of the basket. Yeah, like a towel, but the money is like literally falling out the side. You see the money hanging out. Yeah. And then the next thing you see is them. And he's like, You got a minute? And then they're in the kitchen and she's over here bitching about cream or oat milk or coconut milk. She's so chill about everything. Well, she has to be at that point. He's literally standing right there.

SPEAKER_01 31:49

So but you know, we've seen Beth fake chill. This is Beth just really chill chill. And I was just like, I don't get you. You make no sense. Nick is curious about the deal between Rio and Beth. He says, You're just not his typical colleague. And she should be careful. He goes, anyone who wears a cardigan shouldn't be doing what he does. And she's like, What does he do?

SPEAKER_00 32:18

God, Nick, why you gotta be such a hater?

SPEAKER_01 32:20

She replies back with the old age question.

SPEAKER_00 32:22

Diversity. Maybe Beth is a diversity hire.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

And my response would have been, maybe that's why I'm his colleague. Yeah, bitch. That would have been the best thing to say. Look at that.

SPEAKER_00 32:33

Look at diversity helping the business grow. And DEI helps white women. Hello. Mm-hmm. More than anyone else.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 32:41

I've decided that when somebody says something about DEI, I'm gonna be like, what's DEI? And I'm gonna make them say it. Fucking say it. Say you hate diversity, say you hate equity, and say you hate inclusion, and then go say you're a stupid asshole and walk away from me. But you may continue. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:02

Beth counters with the old age question. Which is it, by the way? Brother or cousin? And family, he replies.

SPEAKER_02 33:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:12

Ruby, Annie, and Beth make Gene an offer that he can't refuse, which he kind of does. They try to buy him off with a batch or the fake cash, because they made that night when she kind of made Ruby call out sick, they made a bullshit batch of fake bills, intentionally not to look great. They offer him quadruple, say that three times by ass, what Stan owes him, but the asshole won't take it. He goes, I don't do business with bitches, asshole. So Annie has an aha moment and schools the other chicks on the meaning of Oxum's razor. I love this scene. I loved this for Annie so much.

SPEAKER_00 33:57

She looks like she was genuinely having a really good time. I mean, they all did, but like especially Annie. Yes. I want to do that. Listen, let's do that. Annie, I I will say this. Annie has excelled in the live in the moment. Yes. First, you know, uh whatever.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

Thing. The thing. The thing, the thing, the thing, thing, thing.

SPEAKER_00 34:25

Uh, you know, ideal, whatever. But I understood thing better. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

I understood that. Okay, Lisa. Thank you. I'm not saying I didn't understand it. It was still funny, but I got it. I understand with words and not words. When are words not words? Or they're coming out of Lisa and Agnes' mouth.

SPEAKER_00 34:44

Uh-huh. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 34:47

You knew where I was going with that. I love that for us.

SPEAKER_00 34:51

Well, you don't lie, so.

SPEAKER_01 34:53

No, I don't lie. I don't. To other people's detriment. I don't. Doesn't bother me. They have literally the best time ever. And I wish I could do that. They go in, Ruby or her little scooter. I want one of those two. And Beth is playing, is it Beth is playing the Bachelorette? And they're just shelling out money.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

Yeah, I think it was Annie.

SPEAKER_01 35:22

Because she had Annie on. Oh, Annie, okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. And they're just shelling out, they're making it right up in that bitch. And they have like one of the little guns that flows out the money, and they're buying bottles and shots, and they're living it up. Agent Hot Mess comes in and she goes, What are you doing? Because you wanted to know, you wanted to know where it goes. To prove it to her, she adds a servant for change, swapping a fake bill for real ones, and hands them to Phoebe. Is that enough? She asks him. Backtrack to the past. We have a little flashback. I like my little okay. Okay, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 36:01

I'm doing she's got a whole lot of hands going on. Personalized dance? Yeah, it's separate of dance. The closest thing I can explain is like there's a video on TikTok from like one of our podfest trips where you're trying to explain the lost thing, and it's it's like kind of similar to that. So go to TikTok and find that video and see Agnes explaining lost, and and that's pretty much what she was doing.

SPEAKER_01 36:28

Consistent, my insanity at least.

SPEAKER_00 36:30

Okay, that's good.

unknown 36:32

Good.

SPEAKER_01 36:32

And a series of flashbacks with a now teenage Rio and Nick. Nick is working. I'm sorry. Okay. So when I wrote my notes, I get them from online. And I'm glad because watching it, I couldn't tell who was who.

SPEAKER_00 36:48

I was like, oh my god, they look alike. Yeah, because when they were teenagers, the casting has them, you know, I was confused. I'm like, who is who? I don't. Like teenagers, young adults, whatever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:01

It was really bad. And I'm like, no, I know when they say because they say all black people look alike, and I think all white people look alike. I think everything looks alike, because I don't care enough about people to look at their differences.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

Okay, it's it's also like a literal fact that people have a harder time to distinguishing outside their race. Outside their race. Why do you have to be so scientific about a joke, Lisa? Because I'm a psych major. I have a psych degree, and I'm not sure how to do that. How many degrees do you have, Lisa? Is either you I have two degrees. And also, I watch a lot of Law and Order, okay? And I listen to a lot of true crime, and this is why eyewitness statements are very unreliable. You know that. I know that. Well, now everybody listening knows that. Don't kill the children. Right, right. And all everybody looks alike. I know. Everybody, everybody just looks alike. That's it. But the funny part is I said that too because I don't care what the fuck you do. No, I know, I know, I know. That's why I was trying to bring it back to you. Oh, you were oh I know. Oh, wait, we lied.

SPEAKER_02 38:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:14

The reason this episode is going off the rails is that neither one of us have alcohol. And seven hours long? Okay.

unknown 38:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 38:26

Come back to Earth, Agnes. Nick is working hard as a caddy while while Rio's boxing at a gym. Rio shows up late to the golf course, comes to me. He's working there also. And Nick tells him, You got your hair in the wrong game. Later, Nick catches Rio lifting money from a wallet in the locker room. And Rio uses the money to buy their grandmother a new stove. I love that. But of course, Nick rats him out, and we we see Rio running off, the cops chasing him. Back to present day. I feel like we're in lost with the whole going back and forth.

SPEAKER_00 39:05

Always comes back to loss. I get to say it now.

SPEAKER_01 39:10

It really does, doesn't it? I even think we had an episode of MAFS when we brought it back to Lost too. But anyway. Do you think it always comes back to Lost because Lost happened to be that first episode we did? Or that's just the way the world works, Doc. It always comes back to Lost regardless. I think it depends on the day of the week for me.

SPEAKER_02 39:30

Fair enough. You know.

SPEAKER_01 39:32

I mean That is fair. David Phoebe, uh, they brought Gene downtown, and there are they're questioning him. And this Mofo sings like a canary. He spills his guts. He is he's, I think he's probably telling you what he did in third grade at this point.

SPEAKER_00 39:54

Not only that, but like everyone he ever knew, too. I'm sure he ratted them out for all.

SPEAKER_01 39:59

The random person he saw in like in front of Starbucks 20 years ago. Right, he's right, littering. He already ratted them out too. Yes, he rided them out because they looked at him weird. Whatever. They bought him a pack of cigarettes when he was 17. But you know what I mean? I really think I got, I think someone was trying to catch me doing that. They're trying to like, I was outside my job in New York 100 years ago when I was real I was a really big bitch. So don't talk to me, don't look at me. I hate everybody. And some kid, I used quotations, like, oh, can you just run in and give me a pack of cigarettes? I said, buy your own pack of cigarettes. He's like, oh, that's my idea home. I said, Oh, so sad, too bad. Mm-hmm. But I'm pretty sure. Yeah, probably. I'm a hundred. I mean, honestly, it it could be. I am 99% sure that it was they were, yeah. It wasn't a kid.

SPEAKER_00 40:50

Although they probably definitely had a fake ID if it was a real thing. So it was like it wasn't.

SPEAKER_01 40:56

It was definitely, it wasn't. I was like, okay. Anyhow, so if you're listening to me, you got the wrong bit. Like, we don't care enough about people to buy them shit. But anyway, Gene, as we just said, spills his guts literally literally figuratively and metaphysically, spill his guts. But he doesn't mention Rio. Phoebe tells Beth that Gene confessed everything under the sun except for the one thing that they were looking for.

SPEAKER_00 41:24

Yeah, because they even show him a picture of Rio and he's like, yeah, I don't know that dude. The only dude in the world he does not know. The one guy he didn't read out.

SPEAKER_01 41:34

Ruby. No, not Ruby. Phoebe warns Beth that they're running you all up tomorrow. You better pick a side. Rio comes to show up for his lot his latest batch, and she has boxes upon boxes upon boxes. Like they're stacked on the table in front of her, behind her. I'm like, what the hell? She's little fort. I actually would love that fort. And he asks Beth, who's more fun? Me or your van people. She's like, what do you think? And I was like, Rio? I don't know. I know what I think. That's just me. But I'm toxic, apparently. Apparently. Within moments, Rio and Beth are in cuffs. The police are swimming around them, and their eyes never lose contact. Phoebe and Dave are strutting into the police station. Okay, strutting. Like if those two could strut, they're strutting in their weird kind of way. And they're playfully arguing who gets to question Rio.

SPEAKER_00 42:39

But they get to the exam room and he's they're arguing because it's like tits versus dick, you know. Oh right. Like she's like, I'm gonna use these, and he's like, he ain't gonna want them. And she's like, but he ain't gonna want that. And she's like, that's why I'm gonna use these. And he's like, yeah, if you could find them. He's such a jerk.

SPEAKER_01 42:58

They're like brothers and sisters. Never mind. Let's not use family analogies, because you know, family sucks. But oh, okay. They get to the wind, they get to the exam room, and Rio no there. Rio no aquí. Apparently, someone above all their pay grades. Because there was a little dig measuring contest for like 30 seconds as who gets to talk to him, the FBI or the cops. And it turns out neither none of them are going to. But he's not even there. He's not even there. So whoever he has in his pocket is higher than all of them. And at this point, I already knew who it was. Let's be real. When you see Rio Brock walking towards his ride on the passenger's side of his best friend, trying to hire at me. Okay. Lisa's face is like, please stop singing. And the driver is Nick. So what do you want to do about her, Rio asks? I don't see any other way. Nick goes, not what you want to do. Do brother, cousin, cousin, brother thing. At the heel household, Stan tells Ruby that Gene is out there lives for good, and his old boss is gonna wait for many, many years. He asks, How many years for this? How many years do you get for this? And how many years do you put for this? We put you put that all together. That's how long.

SPEAKER_00 44:20

I just realized we kind of brought it full circle because Ruby literally makes a Wizard of Oz reference here. She was like ding dong, and she was like, That's why I said ding dong. Ding dong. We could bring it back. Oh my god. Okay. I just I just, yeah, I didn't even think about that before.

SPEAKER_01 44:42

I think we need to do like a we need to do like a little sound every time we make connections outside.

SPEAKER_00 44:48

We need a sting. We'll have to edit that into it. Somebody out there better than me.

SPEAKER_01 44:53

That's gonna be funny.

SPEAKER_00 44:55

Should do that.

SPEAKER_01 44:55

That was a good one, Lisa.

SPEAKER_00 44:57

Thank you. Ding.

SPEAKER_01 44:58

But you won't go. It's just natural. That's why it just comes out of nowhere. You have a natural affinity for doing this. For dumbness, yeah. Connections that no one needs, you got who says no one needs these are connections that everyone needs. What are you talking about? But Ruby didn't tell him what happened. Ruby didn't tell him how he went away or that she had parts in it. And I think that's just I think that's safe. But I wonder if it's gonna come out later. I have a feeling it's gonna be like, well, you see what had happened though.

SPEAKER_00 45:32

Remember when Yeah. And I I just don't know why she doesn't learn her lesson and just like talk to him because I feel like that's all he really wants is to just be on the same page as her.

SPEAKER_01 45:45

Because clearly he hates it why she doesn't protect him. I get it.

SPEAKER_00 45:50

I know, but but it you end up telling him because they'll it comes back to bite you in the ass anyway. You have to tell him anyway. Right. I mean, Dean has just had his turn. Are we gonna it's it's Stan's turn again since uh Annie doesn't have a husband, right? Like, you know, it was it was Dan first, then Dean. Yeah, you know, Greg will step up, chop chop, just because you're an ex. Man up and go to jail for Annie. For your baby mama, okay? Seriously.

SPEAKER_01 46:20

At home, you see Beth, she's going home. She goes home, she goes upstairs, and of course, Rio's in the dark waiting for her in the corner because that's what he does.

SPEAKER_00 46:30

Which is why you don't leave money in a fucking basket sitting on your counter.

SPEAKER_01 46:34

Right. To be fair, you don't leave anything in that house because we see that he can clean it out. I wish I had movers like that when I moved. That'd be fucking amazing. She tells him she didn't have a choice. He's like, Yeah, you did. You just didn't choose me. I feel like, is this like a breakup? Like, what the hell? The last of the flashbacks, Rio is sitting in front of a welcome home cake, and he learns that Nick was promoted. Rio went away for six months for that bullshit wallet theft thing. Nick then shows Rio walls of cash he scored from the stolen clubs. He that he's stolen from the club and liquor at the golf course. He says, see, now they trust me. Now they believe anything you tell them. Rio tells Delphine at present. See how they kind of connect? Mm-hmm. We could do whatever we want. But it was back to young Nick. They'll never see us coming. Dun dun dun.

SPEAKER_00 47:38

I don't have anything else, honestly. Like, I like the way they kind of bookended it, you know, with the cousins and all that. And like, like I said, it gives you another look into like the behind the scenes, you know, and the the inner workings of the family. I think the next episode is called Chef Boy RD. And even though like I always kind of regret it after I eat it, now I just want some like Chef Boy RD raviolis.

SPEAKER_01 48:06

I won't hold that against you.

SPEAKER_00 48:08

I grew up on that shit.

SPEAKER_02 48:10

What can I say?

SPEAKER_01 48:15

Like me. One full meal, two desserts, three appetizers. $57 just for the food.

SPEAKER_00 48:22

I know! I fucking know. Did you eat at a restaurant in 1983? Like how the bottle of wine was $35, but but still. Do you have anything else? But it's already after oh, right, you have 5 o'clock your time. Um, do you have anything else for this episode?

SPEAKER_01 48:44

No.

SPEAKER_00 48:45
