1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.359
And how can we pull out all
sorts of decorations for Saint Patrick's Day?

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:09.320
And we don't do anything for Juneteenth. Leprechauns were never slaves, except to

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:24.199
the wrong greed. Welcome to Cloud
nine, a Superstore podcast. I'm Jason

4
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:29.920
and I'm bb and we're back,
back back again. New episode. This

5
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.759
aired on January fourteenth, twenty twenty
one. It's called Hair Care Products,

6
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:41.119
written by Dioetta Soakin and directed by
Charles Stone the Third, whoh the Third.

7
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.280
You have any thoughts about the episode

9
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.920
or Twitter, and we'd be happy
to include your comments in the podcast.

10
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.920
Yeah, it was a long break, it was, and a lot's changed

11
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:04.959
since we last recorded. We're the
new apartment again, so hopefully it's not

12
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.840
The sounds not too different. Yeah, we're sitting a lot close to each

13
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.319
other and we're not looking at each
other. We're like looking the same direction.

14
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.959
Yeah, we're at a bar.
Yeah. Then we also we got

15
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.040
some news to cover. I think
we'll probably do that at the end.

16
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.879
Okay, yeah, but hair care
Products, how do you want to jump

17
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.920
into it? What is the phrase. It's like not with a crash or

18
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:34.200
a bang, but with a whimper. They had Glenn's away because he had

19
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:41.480
COVID. He's quarantine. Yeah,
and so Dina's doing morning announcements and they're

20
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.239
not in the warehouse or their breakroom. I'm assuming we're in health and beauty

21
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.359
because the raccoons finally claim the warehouse. I like it here. It's well

22
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.120
as like confident Women because corporate is
doing the bare minimum and unlocking the black

23
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.120
hair care products. That was pretty
cool of corporate to fix it. Oh

24
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.879
yeah, it takes a lot of
courage to make a gesture this small,

25
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.920
this late in the game, which, to be honest, I didn't know

26
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.079
was a thing in like stores because
I go to, like, if I'm

27
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.400
gonna be encountering black hair care,
I usually see it out in the open,

28
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.599
or I'm going to like a beauty
supply store that caters specifically too black

29
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.439
hair care. So I'd never noticed
anything like locked up. Usually they locked

30
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.680
up the wigs because those were like
expensive. I think it's because they think

31
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.159
black people are going to steal them. Yeah, we have to ask for

32
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.759
the key. It's like a walk
of shame. Every time you need Argona.

33
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.360
Well, but yeah, they they're
doing the bare minimum. And I

34
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.560
believe that they would do that because
they do that with a bunch of random

35
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.719
shit at the stores, like things
they think people will steal or have been

36
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.199
known to take. I didn't know
hair care products were on that list,

37
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.599
to be honest. I think hygiene
products in general do get stolen a lot.

38
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.400
I know I seen razors, but
I thought it was because people like

39
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.280
sharp objects. Well people do.
But yeah, they were doing the bare

40
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.599
minimum, and the black employees were
like, about damn time, rightfully,

41
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.879
so dialogues. Well, the white
people were like, we fixed it.

42
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.080
We saw racism in the store.
Yeah, and Garrett. This was a

43
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.280
very Garrett centered episode, which was
exciting. Yeah, so Garrett is kind

44
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.840
of forced to lead this movement in
the store. They push him into it.

45
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.879
Yeah, for sure. He gets
pushed in by Dina and Jonah,

46
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.719
his two white friends, and they're
both well meaning in their own ways.

47
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.319
It's kind of fun how much Jonah
was like not centering himself. Centering the

48
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.879
fact that he was not centering himself
has been weird and annoyed all day,

49
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.280
but at least he's tried to help
out without putting the burden on me.

50
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.680
Oh wow, yeah, well thanks. Decentering takes a little practice, but

51
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.840
I think I'm getting better at it. You know, I just have a

52
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:51.879
tendency to make things about myself.
He's trying, he is, that's a

53
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.960
this is a Jonah. I don't
mind seeing it kind of harkens back to

54
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.199
his original persona when he first started. So that was kind of nice to

55
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:08.199
see that kind of like self righteous
social justice warrior kind but doing the most

56
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.800
well, saying that you're not doing
anything to try to take away like people's

57
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.480
like space. Like the interaction he
had with the new lady Nia, Nia,

58
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.839
Yeah, he was like trying so
hard. He like kept looking back,

59
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.759
Oh sorry, Nia, did you
did you want to say something?

60
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.399
No? Are you sure? Because
I don't want to make this about me.

61
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.079
If if you've if you've got something, I don't want to make it

62
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:38.319
about you either. But I don't
have anything. And then the other lady

63
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:44.079
was talking about supporting black businesses.
I got on it about that. It's

64
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.000
like, uh, that was good. I don't know. I thought it

65
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:53.040
was funny because a lot of well
meaning white people do that. They're like

66
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.680
stepping on their own toes trying to
get out of the way. Yeah,

67
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.839
what else. Glenn's also trying to
be well meaning throwing that pizza party for

68
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.120
so Glenn is being well meaning by
bothering somebody. And like the thing is

69
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.639
like with Garrett getting in charge of
this, like why didn't you ask to

70
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.680
be paid for that labor? Because
that should have been the first thing.

71
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.079
Like if you really want to talk
about, like, oh, you want

72
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.680
me to do this project or you
want me to make this thing that's outside

73
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.240
of my job description. And he
literally tells you what his job description is.

74
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.160
It's not my job to call out
every racist thing I come up against.

75
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.480
It's my job to announce sales and
pretend not to notice when people return

76
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.160
you swimsuit. So if you're gonna
make me do that, you should pay

77
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.240
me. And I wish they would
have touched on that a little. And

78
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.519
I think they kind of tried a
little, but not really. They didn't

79
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.560
really because I think sometimes things need
to be really spelled out when it comes

80
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.560
to that. Yeah, And I
thought it was funny when that one guy

81
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.879
thought he was Dominican because he could
be Dominicans are black. That so funny

82
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.759
when he said it the I don't
know. It was a funny episode to

83
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.399
me just because I saw like white
people sweating. Yeah, and it's it's

84
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.720
true what Garrett says, like it's
not his job to keep track of all

85
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.360
this and point it out all the
time, like being exhausting. Yeah,

86
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.279
he has a job that he's paid
the due. Yeah. And then when

87
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.040
he does the meeting where everybody's there
trying to like add things to the list,

88
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.720
which he should have done that.
I think the second meeting he had

89
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:27.120
with just the black employees was a
lot more productive for everybody there. But

90
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:32.240
in the first meeting, like it
turns into him just sharing stories of like

91
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:38.959
the black struggle and like all the
way people consume this is so toxic,

92
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.199
and that's illustrated really well in this. I like that. That was his

93
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.079
friend's suggestion, Dina was like,
tell us a story about how terrible it

94
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.319
is to be a prison of color. Then everyone really wants to they scoot

95
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:58.000
in during a pandemic, it's a
murder podcast or something racist story time gather

96
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.560
around. Everybody would go oh well
no, no, no, don't actually

97
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.199
scoot in. What did you think
about that meeting? It was it was

98
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.879
a lot they do a good job
in these big meetings of having like every

99
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.000
character like coming at this from their
own perspective, and it's usually pretty funny.

100
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.920
You know. You got Justine and
her black voice. Oh my god,

101
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.000
they called out Justine. It was
funny. How about Justine trying to

102
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.800
sound black and when she talks to
black people, Oh, that's how you're

103
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.240
going to do me. And you've
got Isaac and Earl that are very much

104
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.600
like toxic white guys. Yeah,
Isaac really wanted to touch what was her

105
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:38.639
name, Janet Janet? They are
Janet. Yeah, he really wanted to

106
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:45.600
touch Janet's hair. He was.
It was just awkward. I couldn't imagine

107
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.279
to have to work with that kind
of shit sometimes. But yeah, there

108
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.759
was no Marcus. That was interesting. Yeah, maybe he got sick with

109
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.480
the rona too. He already did
though, Oh you could get sick again.

110
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.160
Or maybe he had something else.
Yeah, I don't know. It's

111
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.639
hard to think of what to say
about all their discussion, but like it

112
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.000
was, it was a good episode. Like it was a very good They

113
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.959
brought up a lot of important stuff
and it was really like, because we

114
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:16.079
didn't have this other plotline, it
like strictly focused on experiences people of color

115
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:22.560
having in the workplace, and they
even included Cheyenne, Mateo, and Sandra

116
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:31.920
in the conversation and how their Asian
features or whatever caused them to experience a

117
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.679
different type of racism in the store. And then it was funny because they

118
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.279
had this other subplot with Cheyenne and
Matteo and Sandra, so there's even like

119
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.799
a little bit of like tension in
there. So when Sandra was talking about

120
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.879
being Hawaiian, they they had a
little bit of something to say about that

121
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.639
too, which is funny, like
engaging, and like, obviously she's not

122
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.639
Asian like them, She's Pacific islander
or whatever. You know, people are

123
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.279
different, they come from different places
and that's okay, And that was kind

124
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.960
of a cool way to include like
some of the things that are happening to

125
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.360
people who have those features. Though, but then everybody wanted to go to

126
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:18.159
the pizza party, okay. So
yeah, Glenn was like, how can

127
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.440
I make it so that the black
employees that my store feel like I care

128
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.399
about them and I don't want them
to have a bad time at work,

129
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.919
and obviously to show them that I'm
not racist against them, And his solution

130
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.159
for all those problems was to buy
a buttler to pizza. Yeah. I

131
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:43.519
decided to buy pizzas for all the
black employees as reparations for the hair care

132
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.399
products. You got us pizza.
Pizzas bettered than nothing. Honestly, that

133
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:58.360
feels really on point without corporations or
management think about how you can like pacify

134
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.240
this group or reward them or feel
like, you know whatever. It's like

135
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.720
that's a go to thing to like
reward people in a corporate environment. Yes,

136
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.480
it's pizza. Yeah, we hit
our quotas, we were doing great

137
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:18.320
or you know, our customers are
being real dicks this quarter, so they

138
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.519
give us pizza. We made millions
of dollars, We're going to spend a

139
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.159
couple hundred on pizza. Yeah.
And so it was supposed to go to

140
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.720
Garrett to decide who gets in and
who doesn't. So make sure that every

141
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.960
black employee gets some pizza. And
if there any borderline calls, well you

142
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:43.639
get final set and it becomes like
the Oppression Olympics for people of color and

143
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.440
those with disabilities. Even so,
it was interesting to see like the diversity

144
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.919
that they actually have in store.
Yeah, and it was interesting, No

145
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.600
pun intended but like how it's not
black and white, and like the black

146
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.559
people are getting pizza, but like
do these people count, like or who

147
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.279
are you including in this group?
Yeah? What does oppression mean in the

148
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.720
space in this environment? And I
don't know. I think they kind of

149
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.000
weeded themselves out for the most part, for if you didn't like you'd know,

150
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.679
you don't get pizza, like obviously, But then there were like Isaac

151
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.159
and what's his bucket? Yeah,
earl, earl, Yeah, those two

152
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.279
guys wanted pizza and they complained about
wanting pizza. So Glenn gets them pizza.

153
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:37.720
And that really, like I think
that Shakescaret up to actually speak on

154
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.759
how he feels about things to a
point where it's like good that he released

155
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.879
all that, because it would have
been bad if like they didn't have any

156
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.759
sort of release from him at the
end of that day. So that was

157
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:54.159
really interesting. And then like at
the end they had their little Kumbaya moment

158
00:11:54.200 --> 00:12:01.440
where like the white people were like, here's pizza. It's just like okay,

159
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.559
so you're just trying to reinforce that
the white people at the superstore are

160
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.279
terrible, thank you, Like they're
trying they're well meaning, so there's no

161
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.000
bad guys here. It was that
for me anyway. It's also funny because

162
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.360
it's like, no, Garrett loves
pizza, yeah, I mean yeah,

163
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:24.279
like he loves snack foods and video
games and like, yeah, I could

164
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.639
see so for him to call back
for the pizza at the end, Siddy

165
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.799
was never about the pizzas. Okay, so it's still not about the pizzas,

166
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.759
but he would like me to grab
the pizzas. So I like that.

167
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.519
That was fun. It was a
good episode. Yeah. I think

168
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.240
Superstore does a really good job and
it's probably gotten a lot better at handling

169
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:52.279
these big issues like systemic racism in
the workplace and still being a sitcom that's

170
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.879
funny. Oh yeah, I laughed
really good. Making light of health seriously

171
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.720
issue is at the same time,
it's like it's a crazy thing to have

172
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.200
to and the writing and performance and
they do it well. I think they

173
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.840
understand a part of it where it's
like if you don't laugh, you'll cry,

174
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.320
and that's where comedy kind of sits. It's like on the edge of

175
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.399
tragedy so many times that's when we
seek to laugh a lot of us and

176
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.240
so I think it's a because it
comes from the truth as well, Like

177
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.159
you can tell that there were diverse
voices sitting at the table when this conversation

178
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.639
was happening, and that was good. Like they talked about microaggressions and they

179
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.519
talked about like issues within the communities
sometimes where like we disagree on like what

180
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.440
black traits are here, like that
fucking onion sour cream with onion shit.

181
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.279
Well, that one affects me and
my brother because I hate sour queen in

182
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.720
onion. Yeah, but that's more
of a you thing, not a black

183
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.360
thing. I'm pretty sure that's a
black thing. I think it was cool,

184
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.960
like and it was interesting to watch
and I liked it. I also

185
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.559
really like the Sandra and Matteo and
they're business about having like a social distancing

186
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.720
get together that they weren't going to
invite Sandra to. But then it turns

187
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.879
out to be a thing that only
Sandra gets to go to. Sandra and

188
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:18.840
Matteo nice. So it's just gonna
be me you Sandra outside your apartment watching

189
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:24.039
her be fully loaded. Yeah,
oh shoot, I forgot I have something

190
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.360
on Friday. I like how she
called them out though, Like I was

191
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.559
wondering about that where she's like,
your mask thing is not very tight,

192
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:35.919
so I'm not going to go there
with you. Yeah, because that first

193
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.679
scene where we saw Sandra or Jyanna
Mateo, like they had no mask on

194
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.440
when they're in the middle of the
store. Yeah, and I was wondering

195
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.320
about that, like, Okay,
they're just playing fast and moves with the

196
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.279
rules on the show, I guess. But then Sandra calls them out.

197
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.960
Yeah, so that was nice.
I noticed you guys are pretty cash with

198
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.360
your COVID safety us WHOA. So
yeah, I liked that episode. Is

199
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.919
there anything want to say about it
in your notes and stuff? No,

200
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.799
not really. I think it was
good. You should watch it. Yeah,

201
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.440
and I really like it. Without
Amy, it would have been a

202
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.679
very different episode with it. She
would have centered it around her. She

203
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.200
would have been the white Latina or
the beige Latina. I'm sorry because she's

204
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.799
not white. I know that she's
never gonna be white, but she would

205
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.279
have really a lot of like,
well, guys, I don't know,

206
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.759
she's Yeah, it would just be
a lot of that. And then like

207
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.399
because she yeah, I mean,
okay, she wasn't there. She's just

208
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.840
not my favorite. Maybe I'm painting
her more racist than I should. But

209
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.240
a Latina who's dated so many white
guys in Missouri, what would her experience

210
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.600
be with like, because she was
probably right there, like being very passive

211
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.720
about the hair care. Yeah,
I think she's holding the keys too,

212
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.600
you know what I mean. She
would be very hesitant to take action or

213
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:04.080
to to believe that there's actually like
racist things happening and not just coincidences.

214
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.600
Like think about when she went to
apply for that job and it was all

215
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.720
Latina women and she was like in
denial that that's what they were doing.

216
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.200
Yeah. Yeah, she would be
ghost lighting the law or whatever it's called.

217
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.720
What do they call it? Gaslighting? That one? Ghost lighting is

218
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.600
when you shut the lights off in
the theater and it's just the ghost light.

219
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:30.200
What I didn't know that. Okay, well maybe she wouldn't gaslight all

220
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.159
the way. But that's the thing, Like it's when she's around, it's

221
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.440
always about her and her journey.
Yeah, and it's just like and I'm

222
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.440
glad Glenn wasn't there for that either, to be honest, because his journey

223
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.360
was boring too. So yeah,
it was a good episode. Do you

224
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.840
think back to season one when they
had that episode with the salsa they're trying

225
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:55.279
to sell No. I was also
thinking back about like all the really shitty

226
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.159
jokes they made about sexual assault too, like oh yeah, yeah, they

227
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.880
just they've grown and it's a good
growth and it's nice to see what And

228
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:10.640
I'm sad if I hope they can
get like more episodes with this cast because

229
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.200
I really like Kim. We're almost
a Yemma, the new one, the

230
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.440
new girl, the short hair,
Nia Nia Nia. I don't know why

231
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.359
I can't remember her name. I
swear she's the lady from the MTV YouTube

232
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.599
series Decoded. She reminds me of
that lady. I think her name is

233
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.319
Francesca. You can check me on
that if I'm wrong, then if you're

234
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:36.319
wrong, I'll cut it from the
episode. But yeah, but it's cool

235
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.799
to see this cast. I like
them. Yeah, the show has definitely

236
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.839
grown and is able to tackle issues
in a much better way than I'm interested

237
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.720
to see what other things are going
to come up with. Well, you

238
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.079
want to talk about some news,
Yeah, let's do news. Show's canceled.

239
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.880
I figured how many more episodes because
now they're just like fuck it,

240
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.039
we're canceled. We're gonna take it
on. But yeah, they announced this

241
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.000
is going to be the last season
of the show, and season six is

242
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:08.519
only gonna have fifteen episodes, as
opposed to the usual twenty two, which

243
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.799
you'll give us a total of one
hundred and thirteen episodes of Superstore. That's

244
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.200
a lot of episodes, it is. So, I was a little surprised

245
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.079
at the cancelation, but not that
surprised, I guess. Yeah, I

246
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.559
mean, yeah, I like it. I'm sorry. I'm sad to see

247
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.319
it go because it would have been
cool to see more pandemic episodes. Well,

248
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.880
it almost makes Amy's departure like not
as meaningful because it's like she's gonna

249
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.160
be gone for a few episodes.
I'm sure she'll come back for the finale.

250
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.000
You think, so, oh,
that's so annoying. I'm sure she

251
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:47.799
will, and there'll be some sort
of conclusion of like her and Jonah's relationship.

252
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:49.960
So yeah, it's a bit of
a bummer. But at the same

253
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.000
time, I'm like, we got
six seasons of the show and six seasons

254
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.960
in a movie. Oh, I
don't know about that. What you don't

255
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.279
think there should be a Superstar movie? Maybe? Yeah, So, I

256
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.839
mean, anyway, six years of
the show is a good run and it's

257
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.039
it'll be fun to watch it again, and it's not like a short thing,

258
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.359
you know, you get a lot
to go through. Yeah, it's

259
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.640
a good show to watch over again. I still can't believe how many people

260
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:17.519
don't know it's a show or they've
hurt vaguely heard a bit, yeah,

261
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.759
which is okay, Like, fine, you don't have to watch Superstore,

262
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.440
but it'd be cool if you did, because I feel like a lot of

263
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.559
people would enjoy it and stick with
it through the first season. Yeah,

264
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:33.039
because then it gets really good with
decent two doesn't anyway. Any other news

265
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:38.119
they're sure is and I don't think
you know about this at all, but

266
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.440
they have announced that they're working on
a spin off what Old Bow and Cheyenne.

267
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.039
I thought you'd be more excited by
it. No, that's not the

268
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.200
spin off I wanted. I hope
Mateo comes on board since they're best friends

269
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.599
forever. I don't know, could
have been different, It could have been

270
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:06.799
Garrett. Yeah, I don't know
much about it, and it's still it's

271
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.000
like it's in development, so it's
not necessarily a sure thing. We'll see.

272
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.160
I don't know. BO hasn't been
on in a long time. Yeah,

273
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.559
it's an interesting choice because like who's
the audience for this show? Like

274
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.599
if Superstore was like doing well enough, they wouldn't have canceled it. So

275
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.759
they've got to be reaching for more
than just Superstore fans. It's probably like

276
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:33.119
you know, those kids on TikTok, that's what Probably that's the only audience

277
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.799
you can really grab that's new for
this area. Well, they're trying to

278
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:45.200
do like a family sitcom with bou
Cheyenne and Harmonica like Reba two point zero

279
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.680
and then I mean you can only
speculate from here, but like you know,

280
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.079
they is she still going to work
at Cloud nine? Do you think

281
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.880
they're going to interact with some of
the cast members as like guest stars are

282
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.799
I think that's what I would do, since you already know you have a

283
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:06.519
talented pool of actors that people are
familiar with. But it's having Bo every

284
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.920
episode going to be overkill, That's
what I'm thinking, because that character is

285
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.519
just it's good when it's like like
very scarce, like you know, yeah,

286
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:22.319
very sporadic, very because he's like
always at eleven. He's just got

287
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.200
a lot of high energy and I
know I've seen him in other shows where

288
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:29.079
he's not like that, but he
does have this like face that's just too

289
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:33.640
weird. Sometimes you just like can't
look at it all the time. Chyanne's

290
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.200
really cool, and I hope they
make her character more developed because she has

291
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.079
She's developed some, but I feel
like there's still a lot of room to

292
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.640
grow, which is why it's kind
of that's the only part that's engaging me.

293
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.759
Yeah, because like Bo, yeah, I don't know, he's fun.

294
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.799
There would be a lot of room
for growth on his character. Yeah.

295
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.839
I just wish that they could,
like, yeah, find a way

296
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:03.119
to like show how they could be
sustainably goofy, because I don't want to

297
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.359
be worried about them like not feeding
their baby, yeah, or like having

298
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.799
their lights shut off or you know, oh, we don't have a toaster

299
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.799
because it became a fire hazard because
of some stupid shit that we were doing

300
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.359
because we're too stupid. I don't
like that. I would rather see like

301
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.480
Bo trying to do something like maybe
he is trying to do TikTok for like

302
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.359
an income, because that's what some
people are trying to do, while Cheyenne

303
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.480
is like trying to like be doing
something else. I don't know, because

304
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.200
she was doing horror movie makeup for
a while. She was really good at

305
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.759
that. What was that one episode
where she was just really good? She

306
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.839
was like in a leadership position.
Did not happen? She's the floor supervisor,

307
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.680
that's it. Yeah, So like
if they developed that here, that

308
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.960
would help transition into a show too, where she's like figuring out does she

309
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.400
want to be a floor supervisor or
not? Are they going to keep the

310
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.640
set? I don't know, like
are they going to show or at the

311
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.119
workplace. It's all just wild right
now, and I feel like we're being

312
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.640
really critical of a show we know
nothing about. No No, But I

313
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.400
just thought it was interesting that those
were the two characters they decided to follow

314
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.400
in a spinoff. Yeah. Well, I would have loved a Sandral.

315
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.680
I mean, they're kind of the
young family, I guess. I mean,

316
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.519
what about Sandra and Jerry, though
maybe they'll be neighbors. Could you

317
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.000
imagine that'd be great with their adult
high school son. Well he's not an

318
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:33.279
adult, but he's like seventeen pushing
eighteen soon anyway, So that's I mean,

319
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.279
something to look forward to after the
show ends. Hopefully, hopefully they

320
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.559
get some wings if it sees it. Hopefully it'd be like next television season.

321
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.200
Yeah, that'd be cute, and
I feel like we would definitely be

322
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.440
covering it on this show. Then
yeah, we'll see it if it comes

323
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:56.519
out for sure. Do you have
any thoughts on cancelation or the spin off

324
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.440
show? Let us know, email
us or hit us up on the social

325
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:06.200
media is Yeah, tell us your
speculations because I have so many. Also,

326
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.480
like a lot of the cast put
out statements about the cancelation of the

327
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:15.039
show and kind of how much the
show meant to them, especially like some

328
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.400
of the characters. We're talking about
how nice it was to have representation.

329
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.000
Yeah, yeah, it is really
nice, and it is like, that's

330
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.079
what I'm going to miss about the
show, is like seeing all the different

331
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:29.680
people working because they were working.
But I think that's all we have for

332
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.920
this episode. Unless you have any
final thoughts, read a book and shut

333
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:41.000
the fuck up. That's all.
Next episode is called Biscuit, Biscuit,

334
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.240
that's all. It's fun. I
love biscuits. I hope it's about a

335
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.519
horse or something. Though. That's
going to air on January twenty first,

336
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.640
twenty twenty one, and there are
only ten more episodes wow a countdown.

337
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.359
Indeed, I really hope they just
literally like just go super hard with their

338
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:03.680
like social justice agenda, like they
just like keep drilling things there. Fuck

339
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.200
yes, Like if you know this
is this is the platform, Like you're

340
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.240
gonna go out regardless, so might
as well go out real strong. I

341
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.079
just hope the sensors don't catch them
or you know what I mean, like

342
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.960
people who edit things down or water
it down, because I feel like this

343
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.839
could be like the best ten episodes
the show will ever have, Like this

344
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.480
one's already starting strong. Yeah,
and I don't know. I hope they

345
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:32.079
do get to ring me and Jonah. Let them leave Bartley, I'm just

346
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.720
done with both of them. Or
bring back Kelly. We are bringing back

347
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:40.279
Kelly. I know she better come
back next episode. I'm ready to see

348
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.200
her. It's not next episode.
I think it's the one following. Oh

349
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.440
yeah, how do you know?
Oh my gosh, are you like Clairoyant?

350
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.880
Yes? I was there. I
secretly work for Superstore. Oh my

gonna believe that, But if you want
