We're getting close to the end here. Oh no, 13 00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:08.599 how many more episodes still? They're over. This is episode eleven, and 14 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.519 there's gonna be twelve and thirteen, and then the last two will air together. 15 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.599 Oh so they're going to have a special fine finale. Yeah. I 16 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.200 don't know if it's just like the last two episodes that they're putting together, 17 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.560 if it's like an actual two part hour long episode. This one is a 18 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.239 lot of stuff happening, Like a lot of really good development happened. I 19 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.560 think this is one of my favorite episodes so far. Yeah, it really 20 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:40.120 feels like they're moving all the characters around to have like a good finale, 21 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.719 good closure. Yeah. I just really enjoyed Matteo's story arc in this. 22 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.200 They're giving us a lot of the things that we were asking for. Yes, 23 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.280 they were, And it was interesting to see Jonah kind of intertwined into 24 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.920 that because they did, like they have a dating family in common. They've 25 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.799 dated into this family. Yeah, the Sosas, and it was cool to 26 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.000 see the parents come back. Shoot, an order just came in for Ron 27 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.919 and Connie Sosa. I mean, they didn't even really like me when we 28 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.400 were together, so this is going to be really awkward. Yeah, that 29 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.719 was interesting. I didn't even think about the fact that they could come back 30 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.639 without Amy. Yeah, they're independent people outside of her, And that's what 31 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.800 I love about her not being here is that you can get other characters to 32 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.319 develop without her because they didn't really Like I said, I've always felt that 33 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.840 they never really did justice to the Amy character in her development. She was 34 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.280 very like girl Boss energy and it just was disappointing to see that. Yeah, 35 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.360 and it's kind of cool that she still has a presence on the show 36 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.159 without actually being there. Like that whole situation with their parents, you know, 37 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.800 it revolved around her character and her and Jonah's relationship and her brother and 38 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.159 all that. Yeah, I mean people have impact, which is real. 39 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:02.000 And like, considering her history at the store, I'm surprised not more people 40 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.439 recognize the parents and said, Hi, you're bumped into them somehow. It 41 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.319 would have been interesting to see how they interact with like Sandra or you know, 42 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.159 other parents. I'd love to see Matteo's parents come back too, like 43 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.319 his aunts. I think he had like a couple of aunts and cousins that 44 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.199 came in. Yeah, and I would love to see that and them with 45 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.639 Marcus. Oh for Marcus's interaction with the family, Yeah, because he used 46 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:36.080 to live with them and now Marcus is living with Jonah. That's still true, 47 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.879 right? Or did Jonah move out? Implied Jonah is moving out and 48 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.759 that Eric and Mateo were going to move into that place. Did that happen 49 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.639 already? They never really kind of tied that together, did they Did we 50 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.199 just assume stuff happens in the background. Yeah, I know, they never 51 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.400 show things that happen outside of the store. It was really funny to watch 52 00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:02.719 Mateo quip about that with with Carol's lawyer. Hannah followed me on Instagram last 53 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.000 week, and we've been kind of dming. Oh my god, you're dating 54 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.280 outside a store. I'm so proud of you. I think we were giving 55 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.400 him shit for that too. It's still a woman that he met in the 56 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.480 store, but I guess it's okay. She don't work for Cloud nine, 57 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:23.040 she's working to sue them. Yeah, you're either with or against them. 58 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:29.600 Oh that's funny. What do you think about his new romantic interests? Maybe 59 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.399 want to get dinner this weekend? Yeah? I would all right. Now 60 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.319 my dad only eats to tell you you and my mom is gonna want it 61 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.839 early, like five ish. I still think like Amy's coming back in the 62 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.920 finale and that this is just like a sidetrack for him. Really I want 63 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.720 that. I think she's really cute. I love this actress. I've seen 64 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:57.839 her in other things and she's a really funny and strong like actress. So 65 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.439 I would love to see more of her. And I would love to see 66 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:06.079 Jonah develop outside of Amy and a relationship that's not weird or toxic to some 67 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:11.519 degree. I would like it if they could grow apart and maybe they come 68 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.319 back from Atao's wedding and it's like, uh, they're just good friends now 69 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.199 because they've experienced each other. But she's always going to be a California girl 70 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.720 now because I don't I wouldn't want to come back no offense Missouri, you 71 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.160 know what I mean? Yeah, I just think that because they have fat 72 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.040 Yeah, and that's kind of thing, like the show has been too much 73 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.800 like a rom com at heart that has centered this relationship of Jonah and Amy. 74 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.160 But don't they have to change the format a little bit to introduce or 75 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:47.519 at least trans transition into Cheyenne's show. I would try to do that. 76 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.959 I would try to do that a lot, Like I don't know, this 77 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.360 one didn't do a lot for Cheyenne, like she was basically trip sitting. 78 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:01.439 Yeah, but I don't know. Yeah, I would. I would say, 79 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.959 like as a writing group, you know where you have to kind of 80 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:13.519 tie up some loose ends you can give characters like redemption arcs and like, 81 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.160 it'd be really cool if we found out more about Brett in an episode or 82 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:25.240 he said words, what do you mean Brett's He's icon? Right. I 83 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.920 love this episode because there was a lot of Brett in this episode. Did 84 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.199 you notice that, I mean they pointed it out. Yeah, no, 85 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.920 but like it was more than once that Brett was like a little bit of 86 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:43.199 a feature. He was cleaning the the conveyor belt. Yeah, so that 87 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.800 was like Brett just being a boss doing like a job the machine. But 88 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.879 he was basically standing there like holding the rag to the conveyor belt. Right. 89 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.959 It was good. It was good to see Brett doing like menial task 90 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:02.959 as he does. And then he was dressed as a fucking pilgrim. People 91 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.720 seem to really like the party. Yeah, I know, look at the 92 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:12.000 look of childlike wonder on Brett's face. It was fun to see Sandra and 93 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.519 her son in this episode two. They had a lot of good chemistry happening 94 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:21.920 because she is being a little too honest. But her edible underwear. Yeah, 95 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.680 Jerry and I never even got to go on our honeymoon. I had 96 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.199 to freeze my edible lingerie. Mom, that's great. And then they were 97 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:36.480 both confused about how to use that floor cleaner. Yep. Do you think 98 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.480 they were assigned to work together. I think they choose, or it might 99 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.920 be Sandra being overprotective mom because last time he worked with other people, Jonah 100 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.199 like stabbed him or whatever. I don't remember. He was bleeding. I 101 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:56.120 don't remember. There was blood involved and Jonah was standing over him, so 102 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:05.319 I can't remember everything. You were not a reliable narry. Yeah. So, 103 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.800 like, I mean, what we were talking about with Mateo kind of 104 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.240 came the fruition and it's like he's gonna be getting married and trying not to 105 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.720 think about my future just because it's so up in the air with my status 106 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.079 and you know, everything being held. But I'm just sick of putting everything 107 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:28.360 on hold. So yeah, I whant to marry you someday. Not not 108 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.639 that even know if that's something you want, but I'm just it is. 109 00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.000 Yes, I love a wedding, oh my god, but I'm so tired 110 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:41.720 of shows ending with weddings between the traditional heteronormative like man woman, and this 111 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.519 show has set it up like in one of the first couple of seasons, 112 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.440 Mateo and Glenn work together to put make a whole gay wedding like display. 113 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.960 Yeah, and for me, that's like full arc for the show where it's 114 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.080 like this store has always been about this, and we're going to be about 115 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.399 this, And I'm like really excited for Matayo to fucking get a green card 116 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.919 at least because it's true, like you know it, I've seen people like 117 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.799 really have to make a decision that normally they would be allowed to think on 118 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.120 more, but they have to hurry up and do it in terms of marriage 119 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.679 because there's real fear of being detained and deported. And then with COVID, 120 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.799 this is something that was very prominent in this episode. They acknowledged the existence 121 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.240 of COVID and the fact that we've been in a lockdown for a whole year. 122 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.120 That was like, yeah, the theme of the episode that tied everything 123 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.279 together in terms of like everybody's experience, Oh, how has it been a 124 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.200 year already? But also how has it only been a year? Oh? 125 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.879 Year wasted? Yeah, the way they were talking about how they missed all 126 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.440 the holidays, I think there's also a part of that is, like we 127 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.080 missed those holiday ups episodes of the show, Like we didn't get a Halloween 128 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.320 episode. It's going to be so nice, it almost makes I wish we 129 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.240 could celebrate the other holidays amiss too. Yeah, like Halloween, I was 130 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.080 dressed in full headed tost Shrek makeup in my living room for no one, 131 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.840 so we got a bunch of costumes at the end. Yeah, it was 132 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.320 fun to see that because that's like one of my favorite episodes. I think 133 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.120 I've talked about this in past Halloween episodes where I'd love to see characters in 134 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.720 costumes because they're people in costumes in costumes, so it's like double costume. 135 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.240 But it's also really I don't know how many other shows have come out where 136 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.960 they're dealing with COVID. Not many, not that I've seen, right, 137 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.679 And it's I don't know, what do you say, Like I want to 138 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.120 know what other people think about like having COVID in television, Like do you 139 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.759 want to see that? Because I've heard people say they don't want to see 140 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.440 that because it's like I don't know, escapism, yeah, and television can 141 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.679 be that. But like I think I've said this in the past about this 142 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:07.360 picular show. This show takes place today and it's tackling current events, like 143 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.919 it's always try to stay current to the capacity of how writing works in show 144 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.600 running, and it's done that for the most part, and I think COVID 145 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.240 has to be part of it, especially considering that it's in a place that 146 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:26.679 was very front line facing with the workers. Yeah. I don't know. 147 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.080 I've kind of been on both sides. I know, I said on this 148 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:35.559 podcast, I don't really like seeing COVID on TV shows. Part of that 149 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.240 is like it's going to like really date these shows, like cement that this 150 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.519 is twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, maybe twenty twenty two. Yeah, 151 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:50.519 well, you can watch earlier seasons of Superstore and there's topical stuff on there 152 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.879 that relates to current events. But it's also in some ways a little like 153 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.120 fluid. It's timeless and you know it clearly happens, you know, in 154 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.159 this decade or whatever, but it's not so like that like this year, 155 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.919 this era, and the fact that the show was ending in the COVID arc 156 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.120 is, I don't know, it's kind of distracting in some ways. It's 157 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.960 like an added thing to kind of keep track of. Yeah, what if 158 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.879 they did like a full fantasy and they're like, no more COVID, We're 159 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:26.679 all vaccinated, and it's okay, But I'm glad the show is does take 160 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.240 it seriously like other shows have like did a little bit with masks masks and 161 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.080 then kind of abandoned it. Yeah. Well, like I've been watching RuPaul's 162 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.960 Drag Race. I missed the last episode because I don't have access to like 163 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.399 shows like that all the time. But they they're a reality show and they 164 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.039 had to deal with COVID and they even had like a COVID special and some 165 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.039 people didn't like that too much because they don't want to see like the struggle. 166 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.679 And I think that's fair because we're living in it and reality is really 167 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.720 really harsh. But I think when you're looking at scripted shows, it's like 168 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:13.240 a whole nother like type of tension and aesthetic, and I think it's important 169 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.440 and I can see how it dates things. But I feel like all documented 170 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.159 media is dated, whether we like it or not. Whether you want it 171 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.840 to be timeless or not, there's going to be something about it that's gonna 172 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.440 be of its time. Yeah, it's just like this like really like specifically 173 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.200 nails it in at this point in time. I think that's exciting because like 174 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.879 not everything that is done in that way, where like this is specifically done 175 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:46.360 in this time while it's happening is done in a way that includes so many 176 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.720 voices like what was the name of the director and the writer? Like those 177 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:58.519 people like I've never you know, if we're talking about a show in the 178 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.360 nineties about things that were happening in the nineties, it was all white dudes 179 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.799 talking about it, you know what I mean. So it's just like this 180 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.039 perspective of this time is so unique and telling. I don't know, I 181 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:18.480 really want to know, Like I hope that they do a special series of 182 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.919 like anybody who does consultating for this show, like who are they consulting through 183 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:33.120 this time about like how these places these workers are actually spending their time, 184 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.240 because I feel like it's accurate in a lot of ways, and I think 185 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:43.279 it'd be really cool to spotlight the consultants and the people who are inspiring these 186 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.200 stories in real life. I don't know, I would like to see more 187 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.960 of like the background because this show is so unique and diverse. Yeah, 188 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.720 do kind of pick up on the patterns of how they're filming now, Like 189 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.919 you know, obviously they wear masks when they're out on the floor, but 190 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.399 then they're setting so many scenes in that eating area so that they can have 191 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.759 their masks off and have something to drink or eat. Yeah. I was 192 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.440 a little, uh, I want to say, a little weirded out when 193 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.559 the lawyer came up without a mask. Oh yeah she did. Uh huh. 194 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.679 I caught that, mm hmm. And she's a stranger and those people 195 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:22.200 are older, Like I kind of got why Mateo might have been without a 196 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.840 mask with them, because they might be in the same COVID bubble because like 197 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.440 maybe well, no, that's the first time being in person together. Yeah, 198 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.399 but maybe like they're all tested. I don't know, like, you 199 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.799 know, there's no explanation and it sucks. But when the strange lawyer woman 200 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.960 comes up, that kind of freaked me out. And jonah, yeah, 201 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.080 seeing those two white people without masks really freaked me out. I don't know. 202 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:54.320 I was just like, where's your mask, lady? Anyway, Yeah 203 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.919 he has legs, he sure does. You're going to move on to Dina. 204 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.080 Oh you want to talk about Stone or Dina. Yeah. So she 205 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.840 was just like creating chemical baths and huffing. Yeah in that closet, pouring 206 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.279 all these chemicals. Whoa, it reeks of chemicals in here. We shouldn't 207 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:18.200 air this out. Oh yeah, good idea. Oh, that fresh air 208 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.960 feels nice on my face and eyebrows. And she was super awkward with Garrett 209 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.399 right before that. Yeah, and I think there wasn't much to her little 210 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.559 story here, but I think it's that awkward interaction with Garrett and then at 211 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.440 the end when I I think Cheyenne's face really shows it that, like how 212 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:40.120 Garrett is genuinely interested in her experience. Oh uh, Yeah, everything was 213 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.240 great. Dina was especially normal. It's okay, it's Garrett. I was 214 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.000 high today. What are you serious? Well, I want to everything contexts, 215 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.960 embarrassing, anecdotes, the whole nine yards. Okay, so it all 216 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.519 started first thing in the morning. Yeah. I love how they're like letting 217 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:02.440 Cheyenne be us a little bit where we recognize what's happened, Like she's kind 218 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:07.359 of our reaction. Like m and Hianne looked really good in this episode too. 219 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.160 I really loved that little sweater that she was wearing with her like acid 220 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.880 washed jeans. She's always looking so iconic, a little referential to the eighties 221 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.839 to YEA love it. Yeah, that's all I really had to say about 222 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.000 Dina. Yeah, do you want to talk about that deep clean? So 223 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.000 what now we have to do a deep clean like every year. Yeah, 224 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.440 one deep clean a year during a pandemic does sound a little excessive. You 225 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.200 ever done a deep cleaning in a store? So the way we used to 226 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:41.359 do it, yes, a little bit, but I specifically chose jobs that 227 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.039 were like not as scary, but eventually you had to do it. So 228 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:52.799 we worked. I'm just having to flashbacks. So the way we had to 229 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.000 do it was we had to take everything off of the shelves and clean, 230 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.759 and you start from the top all the way to the bottom, and once 231 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:07.039 you get to the bottom, everything you accidentally pushed back too far would just 232 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.200 fall down all the way down. Because our shelf systems were just racks and 233 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:18.039 there was like a little like dead space in between the two racks, and 234 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.599 they were put together with like two by sixes that we would just cut in 235 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.079 house, because I worked at a hardware store that's like a big box hardware 236 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:32.240 store. So we would just move the boards and clean them. Sometimes we 237 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.960 would also check if the boards were like warped or messed up, and we 238 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.680 would or if they had knots, we would replace them. And everything was 239 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:48.400 always so dusty and dirty. The worst ones were in hardware and electrical and 240 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.799 then the kill wall, which is what we called the pest control wall. 241 00:18:55.400 --> 00:19:03.599 Yeah, there have been animals that have been dead found in there, and 242 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:08.799 you had to make sure to wear long sleeves and gloves because you never knew 243 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:14.559 what you were going to find. It was just yeah, terrible dusty work, 244 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.839 you like, and they didn't provide a lot of ppe, like you 245 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.480 had to be smart and bring your own. Yeah, So it was nice, 246 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.440 Like it was nice to see everybody kind of geared up, and it 247 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.000 was weird to just see them do superficial things because it would have taken them 248 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.160 like taking out all of the product and doing everything one by one to do 249 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.319 a deep clean. So that's where I would be like, I don't know, 250 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.599 it's like half clean to be but that's just because again in my experience, 251 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:48.240 we'd pull everything off the shelf and then but we were also doing inventory, 252 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.440 like we were double duty. We were cleaning and doing inventory, and 253 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.079 every department had to count every single item in the store and that was done 254 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.319 yearly. Yeah, I think that would be just difficult for stores to do 255 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:06.440 during a pandemic, but it would be nice if they could do it at 256 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.440 least once a month and hire a special crew, not people who already worked 257 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.680 there, but literally, like unless you want to pay them hazard pay. 258 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.519 I don't know. That's what I would wish to see where I would think 259 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:19.440 would work in a perfect world. Have you ever done a deep clean? 260 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.759 Well, I was. I worked at a custodian where in a dormitory, 261 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.200 so like when students left for the summer, we had to clean this whole 262 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:32.799 building of almost a thousand rooms, and yeah, so they'd be pretty gross. 263 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.519 Sometimes it's like, oh, here's a year's supply of their fingernail clippings 264 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:45.680 and paired. Oh that wasn't fun. It's like on a personal level, 265 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.920 but right, like you would hope not to find that in a grocery store, 266 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.960 right. Yeah, this is people living on their own for the first 267 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.960 time and then more recently working at a pizza place. Like after just a 268 00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.079 few weeks of working there, kept hearing that we have this corporate cleaning inspection 269 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.680 coming up, so we have to do extra cleaning stuff. And that was 270 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.720 just annoying, especially because they kept saying like it's this week. So every 271 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.039 time I'd go in the work, I'd assume like, oh, I'm glad 272 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.000 that's finally over and not to hear about that. And then but it's like 273 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.599 it's still coming, it's still coming up. Yeah, And then it turns 274 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:23.000 out it was like Friday at seven pm. I'm like, that's the worst 275 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.200 time you could come in, Like that's the busiest time for us. Yeah, 276 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.759 And why is a corporate person coming in like after hours on Friday? 277 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.039 Like that sounds like the least corporate thing. That is weird. They would 278 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.000 do that to us too. Corporate would always be on their way to do 279 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.839 a walk. Oh my god, corporate's doing a walk and we would have 280 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.799 to end. Like if you were doing everything perfect, then your stiles should 281 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.119 look open day ready is what they would call it. And that's like nearly 282 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:57.799 impossible when customers are actually present, Like there's so like to have the cut, 283 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.079 that's like to me, that was like the coolest thing to see that 284 00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:07.839 they redirected everybody to do curbside and that they got to be there without customers. 285 00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:14.119 That is a dream. Like how many times have you ever had that 286 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.279 moment where you're like, my job would be perfect if there weren't no fucking 287 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:22.279 customers here at the theater all the time. If we can just do this 288 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:30.839 show without having Yeah, yeah, that's that's the life of a retail worker. 289 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.640 Like I would have this place looking great, but people were fucking bitches. 290 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.880 Like you know when you go to the grocery store and you're walking down 291 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:45.200 an aisle and it's like a regular like maybe it's appliances or it's like clothing 292 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.319 or something, and you find like a tub of ice cream unrefrigerated, just 293 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:56.799 sitting there. That's somebody's job to find that and like deal with that whatever 294 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.319 it does, because some asshole grabbed it from place and brought it to the 295 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.480 other and didn't take the time to just at least put it in a cold 296 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:12.559 place right or you know, even like stupid shit like you might find batteries 297 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:18.599 in like the grocery aisle or something like that, and it's just like, 298 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:23.279 you know, that person took hours taking all of the batteries from a box 299 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:29.519 and finding where the little hook is and putting them all there, and now 300 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:36.000 they're like here, why why returns suck? That's all I'm saying. One 301 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.559 day did not deal with returns lovely, But then you have to deal with 302 00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:45.000 all the dust and dirt and relics of the past. Okay, so that 303 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.680 POGs magazine from nineteen ninety four. I feel like they're forgetting that this store 304 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.400 was destroyed by a tornado a few years ago. Maybe, you know, 305 00:23:52.759 --> 00:24:00.559 tornadoes are weird, Jason. Maybe maybe they left the floor that one that 306 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:06.960 one shelf was like, you know, bolted down with like ten inch bowl 307 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:12.519 bolts, and tornadoes sometimes they only knock out like one side of the store. 308 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.319 Maybe that side of the store was untouched. So I feel like they 309 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.400 would have gutted the whole store to rebuild. No, I mean, corporate 310 00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.519 would not want to spend more than they need to to rebuild if they have 311 00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:29.880 a good foundation and they're still shit available. Plus, I would love to 312 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:34.400 see another image of what the supposed store looks like, like how big? 313 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:41.359 Is it really? Like a floor planner yes, or like a drone shot 314 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.359 a little bit where you can see above the aisles to give an illusion of 315 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.480 like height, because we know that they would have to use CGI. Yeah, 316 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.680 I want I want them to do that. Spend the money on that, 317 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.079 please, because I feel like we haven't had that in a long time 318 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.400 since they had the tornado. I think was the last time that we saw 319 00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:04.720 the scope the with and the like vastness of the superstore. I would love 320 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:10.640 to see, like get a better idea of it from like a bird's eye 321 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.559 view. Remember when the birds flew through the store, Uh, like a 322 00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.279 shit ton of them? Were they blackbirds? Oh, Dina's birds. We 323 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:23.680 also saw more raccoons than we ever had. Yes, yes, I think 324 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:33.119 employees have a better relationship and love for animals then they do the customers. 325 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.079 But we did have a lot of customers who would bring their dogs, and 326 00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:41.200 that was there were people who would keep dog treats in their work clothes, 327 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:44.880 and the dogs knew who they were and they would look for them. That's 328 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.480 like how dedicated people were to the pets and not the people. I never 329 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:55.759 saw nobody keep a fucking lollipop or treat for no kids, dog treats. 330 00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.200 Yes, So the fact that they had the way that Glen was trying to 331 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.799 reason with the raccoons gave me the energy of like, oh my god, 332 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:10.279 Glenn loves the raccoons. No, come on, guys, that foods for 333 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.279 us. No. I mean it, seriously, guys, guys, guys 334 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.599 like he doesn't want to like upset them or really like make them feel like 335 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.920 they should really leave. But they should definitely stop what they're doing. He's 336 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:33.480 accepted the raccoons and knows that there's a balance to maintain, even shared cake 337 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.240 with them in a way. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm eating raccoon fur 338 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.799 and I don't know. Oh my god. Glenn was really losing it in 339 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.279 this episode. Yeah. I kind of liked how I mean, Garrett was 340 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.880 very negative through most of it, but then he really came to see how 341 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:55.079 much Glenn has been trying to keep people happy always. That's been not even 342 00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.920 whole career here, Yeah, but specifically during this pandemic. You guys have 343 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.480 to do the people pleasing because Glenn has been doing it all day, all 344 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.720 year, you know what, He's been doing it since he started working here. 345 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.519 So here's what's going to happen. You guys are going to enjoy this 346 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.920 weird ass little party because that's what Glenn wants. Got it, I'll put 347 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:17.880 back in the punch now, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I 348 00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:25.200 think Glenn is one of those people that forces themselves into presenting happiness, like 349 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:29.319 you fake it till you make it type of people, but like a whole 350 00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:32.920 year of it without you know, that guy goes to a mega church. 351 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.839 Now he goes to Facebook live. I don't know how he would handle that, 352 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:42.400 and then like his I don't know how the pandemic would have affected him 353 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:47.880 and his foster children too. That would have been a really interesting storyline to 354 00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.559 kind of dig into, because we don't really get those types of stories. 355 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:59.400 And I'm pretty sure that a lot of social services were affected or impacted by 356 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:04.200 the pandemic, and he's kind of like a social service case himself in a 357 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:10.279 lot of ways. But yeah, I really liked seeing his vulnerability in a 358 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:14.599 lot of ways because they were like he was putting on his mask of happiness, 359 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.000 but it cracked. Just get over it. There's nothing you can do 360 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.160 to make people happy. That's just the way it is. The pandemic happened, 361 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.599 and everybody had a fear. You don't think I know that, but 362 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.119 I got to try to give them something. I mean, people have been 363 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:33.480 working NonStop for so long, risking their health, and I was glad that 364 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.960 Garrett got to be the one to kind of see it. I like that 365 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.240 Garrett signed up for the party because he thought it was going to be less 366 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.720 work, and then it ended up being a party about all of the fucking 367 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.920 holidays. Don't forget about Thanksgiving? So on with the turkey. Don't forget 368 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.880 about Thanksgiving? Man, you know the one with the Pilgrims and a turkey. 369 00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:57.319 Yep, No, I know what Thanksgiving is. Motherfucker wanted Maud. 370 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:06.400 I love that guy so much. I think i'm him. That's why I 371 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:11.000 aspire to be at work. That was fun. I really enjoyed that. 372 00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:18.400 And then at the end, it's like, it's snowing. It's been snowing 373 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.480 for months. Motherfucker. Yeah, it was cold. That was so relevant. 374 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.880 I thought that was like, yes, this is what this is twenty 375 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.359 twenty one, we are here like that. I love that. It's I 376 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.759 don't know you, I don't see this in other television shows at all. 377 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.720 Like you can almost put the day on it. Yeah, and that's that's 378 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:44.720 fucking iconic in my opinion. Hey, everybody, it's snowing. It's an 379 00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:52.119 all a day miracle. Close the door, Jesus Flynn, what do you 380 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.920 got for for us next week? Or we done with this episode? What's 381 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.960 going on? I just want to mention that Garfield float what the hell is 382 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:08.160 that? Oh that's Garfield. I made him. Cassandra was really missing seeing 383 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.480 him in the Thanksgiving Day parade. Well, now she'll see him every time 384 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:18.440 she closed her eyes. Dina thought she was fucking stoned. And who saw 385 00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.400 it first? Was it Garrett? Yeah? Garrett, he was like horrified 386 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.839 by it. I kind of thought it was cute. What was your opinion 387 00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:30.400 on that, Garfield? I think it was kind of terrifying. Really. 388 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.359 I think it's the way that balloons like that just kind of like drift in. 389 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.839 I think they're fucking balloons. I don't know, maybe I haven't watched 390 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:44.640 enough it. It's when they have like the perfect amount of helium where they 391 00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.599 don't like drift away that it's kind of hover and no, I know what 392 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.920 you're talking about. I understand they're creepy. Yeah, and then has a 393 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.519 face on it. I thought it was funny. I thought it was cute 394 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.559 too, and I thought it was clever that it did look like Garfield. 395 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:07.160 So you can't hit with like copyright if there is any on that motherfucker. 396 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.400 Yeah. So Glenn fucking did that like he was doing that party, like 397 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:19.240 he made fucking cast roles and pies and all the shits and the raccoons aid 398 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:23.079 it all they had a feast. Is that it. Are we good next 399 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.079 episode? I think that's it. One thing I saw in the news was 400 00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:33.240 that they'd filmed the final episode, so it's in the can yep. Wow. 401 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.160 And there were a lot of a lot of like tweets or Instagram posts 402 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:42.440 from the cast members being all nostalgic. Yeah, they've worked on the show 403 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:48.039 for so long now yeah. And there was one from America Ferrera that was 404 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.240 like congratulating them on their last day of filming, and it was kind of 405 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.680 implying that she wasn't there. Thank god. It just means she might not 406 00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.960 have been there on the final day. She might have still filmed the episode, 407 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.559 she just couldn't deal with all the cleanup. Did you hear about her 408 00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:12.200 directing some movie now? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah, that's pretty exciting. 409 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.240 I'm glad she's doing other projects. I want to see what other projects come 410 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.400 out from all of the talented people that are involved in the show, and 411 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.799 maybe we can kind of keep up with that in a way if we see 412 00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:29.880 updates, we'll keep y'all updated. So next week, on March eleventh, 413 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:40.599 the episode Customer Satisfaction will air. That term you saw that a fucking customer 414 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.960 satisfaction such bullshit. You know what, the only people who ever do those 415 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:51.720 customer satisfaction surveys are people who are fucking assholes and who want to rant about 416 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.599 some quote unquote shitty experience they had. You probably caught somebody on a shitty 417 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.119 day, or they had a shitty customer, or you're the shitty custom to 418 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:06.240 her, or you know, somebody really fucking sucked your dick at that fucking 419 00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.759 store and they told you to do the survey at the bottom of your receipt, 420 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.720 and you're like, you know what, Jessica, I'm gonna do that. 421 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:19.200 Thank you, You're so nice. Like nine times out of ten, 422 00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.880 they never do it even when you do all that. Yeah, but every 423 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.400 once in a while you'll get somebody who said, Jessica was really great. 424 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:30.200 She helped me a lot in this department. What a great person. Five 425 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.880 stars, And if you don't give five stars, it doesn't count for shit. 426 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:38.119 Just an fyi, anything below a five star rating is technically a fail 427 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:44.319 for that person. So fuck customer satisfaction, go to another store. Leave 428 00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:57.880 sorry, Yeah, have a heavenly day, asshole.
