00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.839
I promised Jerusha that I would not
let the job stress me out this time

2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.880
around. So instead of me leading
the meeting, why don't we all lead

3
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.759
the meeting together. Cool. That
seems much better than you just giving us

4
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:26.519
the information we need to do our
job. Welcome to cloud naw Superstore Podcast.

5
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:32.240
I am Jason and I'm BB and
we're here talking about Floor Supervisor,

6
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.960
which is season six, episode three
of Superstore and this episode aired on November

7
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.159
twelfth, twenty twenty. Written by
Josh Malmoth and directed by Betsy Thomas.

8
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.439
And you know who wasn't in this
episode to have a name tag? Fucking

9
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:55.840
Amy or Amy. I do look
forward to not mispronouncing all her name tags.

10
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.960
Good. Remember, if you want

we will interact with you. Yep
for Supervisor. What did you think?

14
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.680
It was a good episode? I
really enjoyed it. I think the lack

15
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:26.159
of Amy is the lack of Amy's
character was really nice because she's so annoying.

16
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.000
She's so annoying. You don't need
that, you really don't need it.

17
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.640
Did you feel it was did it
feel like she was missing? No?

18
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.879
No, I never liked her.
I like, do you feel like

19
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.480
the show? I don't know.
There wasn't like any gap anywhere or something

20
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:53.560
where, not really like I think
the episode previous to this, or maybe

21
00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:00.040
even before. Yeah, where Cheyenne
was like you leaving is like me learning

22
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:07.840
everything and moving forward with my life
was perfectly acknowledging how little Amy was needed

23
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.919
in this place now, and I
was happy to see more characters get some

24
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.039
time, like we did see Justine
Sayid had a little bit of a moment.

25
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.479
Marcus was and that other white guy, I forget his name. I

26
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.800
don't know his name, but he's
like a toxic white man. Yeah.

27
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.639
I was trying to see his name
tag during the episode. I didn't get

28
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.120
a peek at it, so I
always heard his name too, but that

29
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.960
it was good to see like characters
developing. Glenn is back again. Yeah,

30
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.879
so it seems like Glenn is going
to stay manager again, trying not

31
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.479
to be as stressed, and he's
not doing so well. Twice they made

32
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.280
him the manager twice. He's trying. I think, like the fact that

33
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.280
he removed himself from the situation was
a pretty good like at least he's acknowledging

34
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.000
where the stress is at. And
maybe with Cheyenne that'll help. Maybe,

35
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.240
yeah, maybe, So Glenn gives
some power to Mateo. In fact,

36
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.280
maybe I'll start leaning on you to
make some executive decisions around here, you

37
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.960
know, anything to help up with
the old stress. Well, Mateo comes

38
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:22.879
in with like these decisions that don't
make any sense to ask somebody in Glenn's

39
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.919
position, like what color to paint
the office, Like, you don't need

40
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.039
to paint the office, for one, it's already painted. Yeah really,

41
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.280
and you're asking or a lot of
men don't see color the same way as

42
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.960
other people, so it's like he
doesn't give a fucking shit about that,

43
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:44.240
bro. So it makes you wonder
why they're repainting it. The colors that

44
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.039
he chose to repaint it are the
same fucking color as the wall that it

45
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.120
is now. Is the thing.
It's like a light light blue green or

46
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.840
a light light green blue, and
the walls already like a light blue,

47
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.840
Like leave it alone. I wonder
if it's just like in the Cloud nine

48
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.400
budget, when there's a new manager, you can repaint, I should repaint

49
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.280
the break room or something shit.
Well, that'd be helping the employees have

50
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.120
a better life. Yeah, corporations
don't do that, you're right. But

51
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:19.639
yeah, so Glenn says executive decision
making to Mateo, and Matteo like takes

52
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.319
that and runs with it, and
towards the end of the episode, I'm

53
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.279
wondering if he did that on purpose, right, because it works out for

54
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.480
him to well, I don't know. I think he likes the power,

55
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:38.040
but he also likes the idea of
just like chilling out and not having any

56
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.319
responsibility at the same time. Yeah, he's very much management type, right.

57
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.879
I think he was in a win
win situation. You're just gonna have

58
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.120
to sit in your office and text
your friends and read those celebrity magazines.

59
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.120
I don't have that much phone data. I will add you to my family

60
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:59.720
plan. Yeah, but he like
started making up lies about Glenn so that

61
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.480
he he could tell people like,
no, don't even talk to Glenn.

62
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:06.000
He's having a bad day, right, And he tried to fire Justine yes

63
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:12.120
and tell her she's banned from shopping
at Cloud nine, and that I think

64
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.240
was the final straw for Glenn,
which was fun to see Glenn kind of

65
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.439
stand up for himself on a very
Glenn way. Yeah, but it's also

66
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:25.480
funny that Mateo is just very open
about his dislike of Justine. I mean

67
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.759
I think he's always been that open. Yeah, he's always yelling at her

68
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.680
about her how she's not actually like
a drunk, and she's like, nobody

69
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.439
cares about your stories and we know
you're not having all this crazy sex or

70
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:45.800
whatever. Okay, So Garrett and
Sandra and Tony, Tony is her adopted

71
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.399
son. Yeah, it's good to
see him back. Yeah, he was

72
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:54.879
shopping for condoms because he has a
date with his skater obo girlfriend. And

73
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.000
Sandra's like, you talked him about
sex because Jerry's too specific and I don't

74
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.439
know what that means, right,
And when Garrett asks if it's like anatomical,

75
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:10.000
I'm like, is it? What
do you mean? Specific? Oh?

76
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.680
Jerry, and I knew this day
would come. Yes, ever since

77
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.879
you very recently adopted him, very
interesting, very curious. I'm curious now.

78
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.160
And then so that leads to like, yeah, initially, like Garrett's

79
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.040
just uncomfortable as talking to some random
seventeen year old. Hey, if you

80
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.240
have any questions about this stuff,
I'm happy to talk to you about it

81
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.920
or not. Actually, yeah,
I've got a buttload of questions. That's

82
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:42.040
a lot. But then it becomes
like a very introspective look at like Garrett

83
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.879
and his feelings well about being in
love, and then later pivots to him

84
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:53.680
looking at Dina. Yeah, so
Garrett is able to talk about sex or

85
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.759
hooking up, but when he's asked
about love, Sandra kind of basically calls

86
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.879
him out for being like a ladies
man. Yeah, just seemed like you're

87
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.120
more of a hookup guy, not
really a love guy. So, you

88
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.600
know, it might have been hard
to know what to say. And she

89
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.319
does not believe that he's ever had
a meaningful relationship in his whole life,

90
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.360
and he's not willing to admit that
the relationship that was meaningful to him was

91
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.800
the one with Dina. That's I
think part of it a lot. I'm

92
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.040
really excited for them to kind of
dig into that a little more. Yeah,

93
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.480
that was a surprising turn at the
end of the episode that I'm excited

94
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.279
to kind of revisit their feelings.
Yeah, that was the relationship that I

95
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.879
really wanted them to really develop instead
of Amy and Jonah, because who fucking

96
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.319
cares about Amy and Jonah. They're
over anyway, so let's look at everybody

97
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:53.759
else's relationship. So it was really
cool to see him struggling. I mean,

98
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.839
sure, I haven't been in a
serious relationship in a long time.

99
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.279
Why because it's just safer to keep
things casual. When you go deep,

100
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.240
you open yourself up to all these
feelings. What's wrong with feelings? Fair?

101
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.560
I don't know how helpful like it
is going to be, but it's

102
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.480
very interesting to see basically like this
teenage boy man, like this young man

103
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:20.839
who's coming into these new exciting experiences
but very naive in a lot of ways.

104
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.639
But somehow he's more knowledgeable than Garrett, and Garrett's kind of getting therapy

105
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.279
or something. It's weird because he
normally has deep conversations with Jonah, so

106
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.159
he's opening up to another male in
his life. So it's very interesting.

107
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.279
And yeah, it's interesting also to
see this like forty year old. I

108
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.720
didn't know he was forty. That
blew my mind. Yeah, that they

109
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.120
dropped that, and I don't know, it's not surprising, but it also

110
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.799
is. Yeah. But yeah,
so like having this forty year old man

111
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:01.200
who has not developed emotionally kind of
opening up up in their weird little cafe.

112
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.799
So I don't know, it'll be
interesting and I'm excited to see that.

113
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200
And it'll be interesting if we continue
to see a more vulnerable side of

114
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.320
Garrett because he's always been too cool
for school. Yeah, and I think

115
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:20.000
that's part of why Sandra and everyone
else is like, you don't know about

116
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.679
love. You just you know you're
the hook up guy. Nothing gets to

117
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.799
you. He's a playboy with a
shoe fetish. Yeah. Maybe I'm just

118
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:35.080
self sabotaging, like I'm scared to
get invested with someone because I don't want

119
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.360
to get hurt. So do you
want to talk about flourish supervisor? Do

120
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.799
you want to touch on how Brett
is the most stylish guy in the store.

121
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.799
Well, we don't need to talk
about that. That's just fast.

122
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.240
Yeah. So the I know,
the airdate of all the episodes were pushed

123
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.639
back a week, so I think
this would have been originally intended to be

124
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.360
right after the presidential election, but
that shit got dragged out in anyway,

125
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.720
so it's still a little relevant.
Yeah. Yeah, So they did plan

126
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.279
kind of an election tie in.
We're having an election. Both Jonah and

127
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.519
Cheyenne want to be for a supervisor, So we're going to let the people

128
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.639
decide the people, Glenn, the
people are idiots. Yeah, it was

129
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.720
good. I liked it. I
like a good election episode. It was

130
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.240
really funny. Yeah, first they
announced that there's a floor supervisor position,

131
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.720
and Glenn keeps apologizing about mentioning Amy, specifically to Jonah in front of everybody,

132
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.840
and everybody's like, jeez, Jonah, And I think everyone believes that

133
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:43.480
he is like just like totally distraught
over this, right. Yeah, so

134
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.919
he might have gotten like a couple
pity votes maybe, and he had a

135
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.039
cool idea. But Dina didn't like
any of that shit at all. There

136
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.360
are a lot of policies that could
be updated or changed altogether, or we

137
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.799
could not change any of the carefully
thought out policies I've been honing for the

138
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.039
past decade. She basically hates Jonah
too, Yeah, because I mean Dina

139
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.360
is like kind of seeing him try
to step into Amy's old rule. I

140
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.320
think not even that, but also
like Joanah always has ideas about how things

141
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.200
can be different, you know,
and he's very vocal, and he's also

142
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.320
always butted heads with Dina on a
lot of things. No, way.

143
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.159
I don't want a floor supervisor who's
going to be constantly contradicting us, poking

144
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.519
holes in our perfect system. So
I can see why she would not want

145
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.720
him at all. So she goes
and looks for somebody who she can she

146
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.480
thinks she can manipulate, which is
Cheyenne, and she kind of gets her,

147
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.919
like at first, she's like,
oh, man, that white guy,

148
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.600
someone who isn't a white male that
reads a privilege. Yeah, but

149
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.960
it's hard though, right because of
like systemics. She like, Sheyenne's like,

150
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.080
well, Brett's a good option.
And then who else does she say?

151
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.480
I don't know if she suggests anyone
else. I think she just does

152
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.480
not pick up on the clue that
she should run. Oh hey, you

153
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.000
know what, maybe I should apply? Yes, Diane, I was laying

154
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.879
it on pretty thick, and she
looks so cute in this episode with her

155
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.159
red, white and blue kind of
aesthetic going. Her lips were super red

156
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.639
and her eyeshadow was super blue,
and her shirt had like stripes on it.

157
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.799
It was super cute. So I
really like that vibe. And Dina

158
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.919
gives her like the worst advice that
kind of works in this store, which

159
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.440
is to lie and bribe. Oh
yeah, if I promise things, won't

160
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.000
I have to do those things once
I'm elected? God no, why not?

161
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.879
No one knows? You just don't
America rules. Like Jonah calls her

162
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.759
out and Dina's like, what these
people are dumb? She like straight up

163
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.240
just tells everybody they're dumb, which
kind of facts. And then the fact

164
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:05.200
that like Marcus is supporting Jonah is
part of his downfall. I mean,

165
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.200
yeah, okay, look, guys, let's not make this about cancel culture.

166
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.080
Come on, man, help me
help you. They pull out the

167
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.120
picture of Jonah at a Hooters,
but I like that they didn't brand it

168
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.759
right because those girls usually have like
a Hooters T shirt. Yes that's true.

169
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:31.320
Yeah, I noticed, and most
people didn't have really an issue with

170
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:37.039
it initially until like Dina try to
spin it as he's not a feminist.

171
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.960
But the thing that really got the
crowd against Jonah was when he said he

172
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.000
didn't get the wings and he ordered
a caprizy salad. Hooters had a kaprize

173
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.519
salad on the menu. They made
it special for me. Come on,

174
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.840
you're yourself. The worst part of
the story because that's the most Jonah thing

175
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:01.120
to do order off menu and have
the make of a fucking salad for you

176
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:07.600
special. That's when said had the
best line. He's like this guy,

177
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.159
like he just kind of expresses everything
we felt about Jonas since he came in.

178
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.320
You know, boobs are not even
the first thing that I notice.

179
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:24.039
What is personality this guy. Oh
and when he tries to like get ideas

180
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.759
from the new girl and she's like, I like the breadstick idea, Yeah,

181
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.120
naya, I'm glad that she's still
around and that she wasn't just used

182
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.000
for like the one off joke last
episode. Yeah. And then there was

183
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.759
also like her whole thing about what
Hooters does. The problem is that Hooters

184
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.159
promotes a misogynistic belief system that women
are sex objects whose primary function is literally

185
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.159
serve men. So that was like
a really good dialogue coming from a newbie.

186
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.480
So I really enjoyed that, Like
that was a big line for someone

187
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.240
we just met. Fuck, yeah, I love that. See this is

188
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:07.360
why it's so exciting not to have
this like major sock factor. I mean

189
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.240
whatever, I don't care if you
don't like if you like Amy, you

190
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.440
can go watch her and some other
shit. America Ferrera makes more than this

191
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:20.480
show. Okay, I'm just I'm
excited to see this develop But yeah,

192
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.240
they have their election. Do you
want to talk any more about the pre

193
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:30.279
election stuff? Like not really.
I mean Dina's argument for a Cheyenne that

194
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.799
she gives the Glenn was actually pretty
valid. Like she's been through all this

195
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.679
management training because Amy put her through
all that. Mm hmm. She's been

196
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.960
there a while. She knows the
job, she knows the people. She

197
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.600
said herself, like she knows what
she's doing. Just so you know,

198
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.080
I would be a great floor supervisor. Okay, I've been here forever.

199
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.639
I get along with everybody, and
I know who's boned who and who can't

200
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.879
work together. I loved when they
were like, let's just have a debate

201
00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:00.159
and Dina like totally outs herself in
her intentions and how Cheyenne just does not

202
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.240
back down. Yep. That was
iconic. That was like, now,

203
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.440
fuck you, I ain't doing what
you say. We need shit to change.

204
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.639
Jonah tries to like say I had
that idea, and he's like,

205
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.720
no, wait, no, I
respect women. That was so good.

206
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.799
I love it when people like sit
themselves down. You don't need to be

207
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:22.759
sat down by somebody else. Oh
that was so good. I actually said

208
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.960
the same never mind, I respect
women, I don't interrupt them. And

209
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.480
she comes through with the breadsticks even
if they're a day old. Yeah,

210
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:36.000
but if you microwave them with a
wet paper towel, I didn't know that.

211
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:41.120
That's pretty good. So yeah,
Cheyenne wins. Matteo tried to like

212
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:47.159
rig the election too, right.
It's like, damn, dude, you

213
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.840
are so sneaky sometimes, and there's
a bit like it would be kind of

214
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.200
nice for Mateo to have like a
say in the management role, but if

215
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.480
you give him a little bit of
power, he seems to just take it

216
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.480
all. Yeah, he's very power
hungry and it always goes to his head

217
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.559
time and time again. Anytime he's
in a position, he goes all out,

218
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.400
which is not bad. Sometimes it
comes out really well, you know,

219
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:17.200
like that time he like did the
same sex marriage aisle that was iconic.

220
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.640
But yeah, but he's on Glenn's
family plan now. So no,

221
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.599
yes, Chyenne won the election,
but Matteo won the day he won.

222
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.799
Like the dream job, just sit
in your office and text your friends.

223
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.599
Have you ever use an apple bong? H? Yeah? The have you

224
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:44.000
ever used a coconut bong. No
sounds fancy. Yeah, it's so cool

225
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:48.160
because it comes with water. Yeah, and it's not technically an apple bong.

226
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.480
It's like an apple pipe, true, so, but it is a

227
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.839
coconut bong. Anything else you want
to talk about for this episode? The

228
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.640
floor manager, I want to share
a message from Twitter we got from mo.

229
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.799
I really hope they stop all the
Amy callbacks, at least for Bbe's

230
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:17.079
sake. Yes, thank you.
Sorry that I was such a bitch about

231
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:22.359
it, but like, yeah,
let her be gone. It's okay.

232
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.480
Yeah, I mean they have to
transition for a while, and yeah,

233
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:33.559
yeah, make note of her absence
to keep coming up. Especially guys Jonah's

234
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.880
processing and figuring out what he's doing
with his life. I want him to

235
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.039
go through a whole phase or remember
Kelly. Yeah, bring Kelly back in

236
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:48.400
the little Girl. Ye a little
chick. She's so tiny. Yeah,

237
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.240
it'd be really good to see like
something happening over there. Or he like

238
00:18:52.319 --> 00:19:00.680
completely plummets and he like actually like
hooks up with Justy. Let's not let's

239
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:07.519
do that. Let's just ruin him
rock bottom, scruffy, dirty wear sweatpants

240
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.759
to work the whole thing and even
Justine has to let him go because he's

241
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.319
too much. He's like no,
She's like, I'm too good for this

242
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.839
shit. That would be cool.
Just really want to see him fall or

243
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.960
he goes back to business school or
something, you know, takes night classes

244
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:29.480
because he didn't finish right right,
No, he's got options. Yeah.

245
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.640
Do you think Carol's gonna go crazy
anytime soon? She's pretty tamo. She

246
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.720
was tame in this episode. Yeah. I feel like they don't want to

247
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.559
send her back to crazy right away. Yeah, she's I just love when

248
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:48.039
they do that with her though,
or nasty when she's nasty, Like remember

249
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:55.920
when she would hit on Adam.
It would be cool to see Adam in

250
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.200
the store if they were gonna do
Amy callbacks or whatever. I wonder how

251
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:07.200
is YouTube channels going? Okay,
Well, what's what else is on your

252
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.240
little thing? E there? Well, thanks both for keeping me in mind

253
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:17.160
about those Amy callbacks. They weren't
bad. I was able to stomach it

254
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:21.200
because I didn't have to deal with
her. I threw together a list of

255
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.440
some other sitcoms where the main character
had left the show. The Office yet

256
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:33.079
The Office was first on the list. Tears right, they switched Diane for

257
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.640
right. Yeah, what else that
seventies show? Oh that was terrible.

258
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.599
Yeah, they had that once Eric
Foreman left it was just trash. Yeah,

259
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:47.000
that was a show that they tried
to bring in a new character and

260
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.279
act like he's just part of the
gang and no. Yeah, they should

261
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:53.440
have done that sooner. Yeah.
And also Ashton Kutcher left that show at

262
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:57.880
the same time. Oh yeah,
it's like that's a show that went downhill

263
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.640
quick. Look of that. The
Office. I kind of felt like that

264
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:10.039
show was losing quality before Steve Carell
left. Yeah, I think the like,

265
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:17.039
yeah, but they kind of picked
up after after Robert California. We

266
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.640
did not mess well with the but
I'd like that he didn't because I think

267
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.839
he was so different and so weird
that it like completely like just yeah,

268
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:30.119
it refocused everything. So that was
good. It wasn't the worst. When

269
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.440
Andy was in charge, that was
just weird. Spen City Did you ever

270
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:40.039
watch that? Uh? Is that
with Michael J. Fox? Yep?

271
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:45.480
Yeah, who left? Michael J. Fox? He left and Charlie Sheen

272
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.480
swooped in. Oh my god.
Oh yeah that one. They actually I

273
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.799
think they did recover pretty well.
Yeah, that one was decent. I

274
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.559
don't know how the fuck Charlie Sheen
is such a trash ass human. Well,

275
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.720
speaking of him, he left Two
and a Half Men and Ashton Kutcher

276
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:06.559
joined that show, and I never
really watched that, and I don't think

277
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:11.480
it's been it was ever like a
critical hit, but it was definitely Yeah,

278
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.599
everybody fucking loved it. I worked
at a nursing home at the time

279
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.880
when it was like Poppin and everybody
loved that show. I had one old

280
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:25.440
woman who would love like I had
to put her to bed after that show

281
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:30.440
was done. During Everybody Loves Raymond, couldn't say it for Raymond, she

282
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.000
was like that was her bedtime,
like she knew it was bedtime because like

283
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:38.400
it was Raymond. But yeah,
Charlie Sheen is like a trash ass human

284
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:45.880
who somehow is able to pull off
charismatic womanizer on TV. Really well,

285
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:51.640
like he's he's not bad on TV. Well, I think maybe he's like

286
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:56.559
an actor of his time, Like
he had a moment where he peeked and

287
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.640
then we all saw his downfall with
the hooker and the coke, the Tiger

288
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:07.119
Blood any other shows? What about
eight Simple Rules? Oh Man? John

289
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.000
Ridd died yeah, oh man,
that was so sad. I watch a

290
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.279
lot of TV, y'all. I
really liked that show. The Redhead had

291
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.680
such big ass chits. Oh my
god, the redad stits were great.

292
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:25.160
It's like that's inappropriate, but yeah, I watched a little bit of that

293
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.440
show when it was on. He
went so good at he was so good.

294
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.079
He was such a good dad.
I remember like it brought in David

295
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.279
Spade and uh oh, who's the
older guy? I forget? You don't

296
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:45.559
have it in your notes. No
scrubs, they're awful last season the University

297
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.200
one. Yeah, and I don't
know how fair that one is because they

298
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.079
definitely like wrapped up the show season
eight, they wrapped up. They should

299
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:56.799
have wrapped it up. When they
all went to that destination wedding, that's

300
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.720
when it should have been over.
That's literally they jumped the shark. Okay,

301
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.240
that's when you jump the shark.
When you have a destination episode and

302
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.079
they're all in like some tropical island, that's that's it. You're dead,

303
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.240
you're done, it's over. Let
it go. The crew got a nice

304
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:17.599
trip, you know, to an
exotic location. Just call it good.

305
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.480
They all died on a ship the
end. They had a really good wrap

306
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.119
up for the season eight finale,
and they kind of left you like feeling

307
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.920
good about all the characters and like
speculating about their future and stuff. And

308
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.400
then they forced that. Then they
brought it back and had like the main

309
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:40.440
cast kind of making guest appearances.
I liked the actors that were in it,

310
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:44.519
but the storyline was just Hella forced. It should have just been an

311
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.599
independent thing with new people, right
that, Like, we didn't need all

312
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.039
of the Scrubs people in it.
It was just lame. Plus, that's

313
00:24:53.039 --> 00:25:04.039
why we have cougar Town, right, Okay, anything else, anyone any

314
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:11.480
other episodes or shows. I put
down Community, but I was kind of

315
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.839
like, I don't really know how
to define who's the main character on Community.

316
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.160
They all seem to share the spotlight. I think initially it was Jeff

317
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.559
Winger. Yeah, he's definitely like
in the pilot and first season, but

318
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:27.400
he drove most of the community too. Yeah, but then after that it

319
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:32.880
kind of depends on the episode.
Yeah, I guess, but I don't

320
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:36.880
know. Donald Glover left that and
Chevy Chase, and I was glad to

321
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.680
see Chevy go. It was kind
of funny how they killed him off because

322
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.599
I heard he was a dick,
so good riddance. Yeah, but yeah,

323
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.640
Community is a good show. Like
you should definitely watch whatever's available.

324
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.119
I'm a huge fan. Yeah,
love Community. I went to a community

325
00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:00.599
college and I watched it like as
it aired on like network team when I

326
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:06.079
was in community college. So it
was definitely formative to my career in community.

327
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:12.160
That's all I wrote. Yeah,
that's all the shows that I can

328
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:17.559
think of that I actually was engaged
with. I didn't really engage with Spin

329
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.880
City though, to be honest.
Yeah, I mean some shows do well

330
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:27.319
with the change and some definitely don't. I feel like, if you are

331
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:36.160
a showrunner and you put all of
your story plot lines around one specific character,

332
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:41.279
you have to make sure that you
keep that actor happy and well paid.

333
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:47.519
Otherwise, if it's something that you
think like you could lose them,

334
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:53.759
you should definitely create good, strong, supporting characters that could potentially carry the

335
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:59.759
show to a new era, because
it's possible. I do believe that it

336
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.960
is possible, but you have to
really like build up characters because like an

337
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.359
Orange is the New Black. I
love using this as an example because they

338
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.920
did it so well that white lady
from the first episode. She could leave

339
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.200
and that show could still be good. I mean, now it's kind of

340
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.920
I don't know, I didn't really
watch the last season that that was really

341
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.680
good. Like storytelling for their end, you shouldn't centralize it on one character

342
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:33.119
when you have the opportunity to build
a diverse cast and have a lot of

343
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:38.000
different story narratives just going on.
It also lets your audience know that they're

344
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:44.680
not dumb, you know, Like
I watch Bones and I love Bones,

345
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.680
but it's just very like formulaic.
Everything gets wrapped up at the end.

346
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:55.440
There's not a lot of progress or
conflict. But I don't know, I'm

347
00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:03.519
just like I would like to see
like television or whatever it is now streaming

348
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:10.759
figure out ways to include more people
and maybe you don't have like one character

349
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:15.720
that gets more money or more time. I think it's definitely more common now,

350
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:21.319
maybe not with comedy as much,
but with like drama shows that there's

351
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:26.920
more of an ensemble and it's like
larger casts, and it wasn't really feasible

352
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:33.400
I think economically during earlier decades of
television. Yeah, I mean, there's

353
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.319
always got to be the one person
that draws the crowd, right like a

354
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.559
familiar name and face that really helps. Yeah, but I think if you

355
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:47.440
don't give an opportunity to know names, then what are you doing, Like,

356
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.440
it's not fun for anybody to see
new faces, you know, fall

357
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.880
let us fall in love with new
people. Well, it's nice to like

358
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.400
meet a character for the first time
and not have some preconception because of other

359
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.920
roles you've seen the actor in.
Yeah, and usually, like I'm thinking

360
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.200
of like Cougar Town or whatever,
where it's like, we know Courtney Cox

361
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.799
and she basically plays herself in a
different like on a different level, but

362
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:18.960
she's still very much like that funny, skinny bitch, and so it's just

363
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.799
like I like that she's in it, but I also think, like probably

364
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.880
anybody could have played that. I
don't know. I like that show a

365
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.319
lot, though, Oh my god, they've had to fight so hard to

366
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.119
get like new seasons too, But
I don't know, it's always fun to

367
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.720
think about. I love looking up
shows on like Wikipedia, and they have

368
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.680
the graph of the cast members and
like what seasons they're in as main cast

369
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:48.039
or recurring cast guest appearances. Yeah, you're you know in that little section

370
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:53.279
that says stats for nerds. That's
where Jason, it's me. Okay,

371
00:29:53.359 --> 00:30:00.440
So next week episode is called Prize
Wheel. Sounds fun, it sounds dangerous.

372
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:07.160
Oh did you notice that they took
their masks down sometimes to talk.

373
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:14.160
Yeah, that was interesting. Seems
like the employees are just interacting without masks,

374
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.640
but when they're out in the store
they're wearing them mostly. But I

375
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:22.720
also noticed that, like when Garrett
was talking to Tony Tony, they were

376
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.799
not wearing masks. So hmmmmm,
we'll see. Hopefully they keep them on

377
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.640
because I don't mind them wearing them
in the store. I think it's really

378
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.599
important that we get that visual reinforcement. Uh huh, that's I think that's

379
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.079
super important for us, and it
kind of just normalizes it. Yes,

380
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:47.440
exactly, and I would love to
see that more so hopefully this next episode.

381
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.240
Oh and the lady who was wearing
the mask and trying to sniff the

382
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:56.440
candles. H I missed those little
scenes in that last episode. We didn't

383
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.359
really get those customer scenes. Got
a couple, but yeah, I missed

384
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:06.519
dumblass customer scenes. I'm glad she
didn't pull the mask down, so that

385
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:12.079
was really nice. All right,
Well, next episode airs November nineteenth Prize.

386
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.200

You guys can't cancel Jonah for something he

391
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.440
did six years ago. Okay,
but what if he murdered an entire family

392
00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:59.279
and danced with their intrails six years
ago? Could we cancel him for that?

393
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.720
Well, his views evolved since doing
that.
