What's up, hybrids? Welcome back to another episode
00:00:28
of the Phantom Hybrid Podcast. This is Hanukkah and I'm here
00:00:31
with Anthony, Michelle, and Dina from Drunk and Blurty is joining
00:00:35
us. And we are going to step out of
00:00:37
our comfort zone. We're going to get away from
00:00:40
fantasy a little bit and get into some horror because there
00:00:44
is a new Stephen King product out there online.
00:00:47
The television sets it, is it welcome to dairy.
00:00:51
And as Stephen King fans, we decided we were going to go
00:00:55
ahead and try to tackle this. So welcome everyone.
00:00:58
Let's get into it first. Let's talk about are you guys,
00:01:05
have you guys read the book? Have you seen the original
00:01:08
movie? Have you seen the updated It
00:01:10
movies? Like what, how, how deep into
00:01:13
the IT pantheon are you guys? And then we're going to start
00:01:18
with you, since since you're my usual Co conspirator when it
00:01:21
comes to Stephen King stuff. Well, I, I read it quite a long
00:01:26
time ago. So some of the stuff when I see
00:01:30
it, I'm like, OK, I, I kind of remember that.
00:01:32
But there, there's a lot that I don't remember.
00:01:38
I did remember watching the original TV series with Tim
00:01:43
Curry as Pennywise. Classic, great, great movie.
00:01:47
He was great. I do like Skarsgard, however.
00:01:55
Tim Curry was just amazing 'cause he was like funny,
00:02:00
delightful and then he was terrified.
00:02:02
Skarsgard is just terrifying. All the time terrified all.
00:02:07
The time, yeah. And you know, and watch the the
00:02:09
most recent movies. So I'm, I'm pretty familiar with
00:02:12
with what's going on in the show.
00:02:15
And, you know, I'm a Stephen King person, so I got all this.
00:02:18
It's a dark tower. I don't do Dark Tower, OK, That
00:02:22
they can see over there. But everything else, yeah, I'm
00:02:26
kind of familiar with. So I'm.
00:02:28
I'm enjoying it. Yeah.
00:02:31
There's a lot to talk about, so. OK, Yeah.
00:02:36
OK, while ago my experience, I haven't read, I haven't read the
00:02:42
book, but I was present when the show came on in the 90s.
00:02:50
I watched it. What did it premiere on the
00:02:53
Saturday? No Sunday and then the next day
00:02:56
was Monday. Yep, I was there when the movies
00:03:01
came out, was there for it, and I'm here for it now.
00:03:06
I do love Stephen King, but haven't read any of his books
00:03:09
except for one, and I still don't remember the name of it.
00:03:11
I just remember it was about Prince.
00:03:15
I think so, yeah. It was my junior year of high
00:03:18
school. Oh, OK.
00:03:20
OK. Yeah, I was going to.
00:03:21
It was part of ELA class. So that's it.
00:03:25
Oh, OK. I'm excited to be here.
00:03:28
I'm trying to think. I'm like, I don't think I was
00:03:30
ever assigned any Stephen King in in high school.
00:03:34
No, not me. Either he was a cool teacher, he
00:03:38
was a cool teacher, so I love that class.
00:03:42
OK. What about you, Dana?
00:03:44
So yeah, I actually 'cause I was obsessed with every Stephen King
00:03:48
movie there ever was back when I was a kid.
00:03:49
And so I watched Tim Curry and of course, that still scars me
00:03:55
to this day. I was just telling him, telling
00:03:58
y'all a little while ago, like I, I fell asleep on this 'cause
00:04:01
I was a little tired trying to rewatch it.
00:04:04
I could never fall asleep on Tim Curry 'cause he had me in a
00:04:06
chokehold. And then I watched the, the, the
00:04:10
two movies, the recent ones with the newer cast when they came
00:04:14
out, 'cause I love the story. And so I eventually went ahead
00:04:18
and read the book 'cause I was like, you know, I ain't never
00:04:20
read this book. And so I, I read it and, and
00:04:24
it's, yeah, Stephen King just always so in depth and he's, he
00:04:27
feels such a world. But then it's also like so hard
00:04:29
to get through some of the bad things that happened, and
00:04:33
sometimes it's scarier reading what he wrote than watching the
00:04:37
movies and stuff. So yeah, that's my history with
00:04:40
it. And that's why I'm not reading
00:04:43
the book yet. You also got to get by some of
00:04:48
the cultural stuff too. Too.
00:04:51
Yeah, means have changed. I'm not.
00:04:53
I'm not reading it. And I hate clowns so they
00:04:59
freaky. Yeah, so I think for me, I, I
00:05:04
read it in high school, I think probably either my junior or my
00:05:10
senior year and watched the original miniseries when it came
00:05:16
out. I'm kind of like everybody else.
00:05:18
Tim Curry was like amazing as Pennywise.
00:05:21
But also because he has that, he has a little bit of humor to it
00:05:27
as well. Like Anthony said, I, I did
00:05:30
watch the the newer versions with Bill Skarsgard and it took
00:05:35
me, it took me like 2 years before I would even watch it
00:05:39
because just watching the previews, I was like, this looks
00:05:43
a little scarier than I want it to be.
00:05:46
And I don't know if I was ready for that.
00:05:48
And yeah, his version of Pennywise is terrifying.
00:05:54
So yeah, so yeah, I just, yeah, I love the story.
00:06:01
I love the the kind of, I don't know, something about Stephen
00:06:06
King is like it draws you in and it makes you sit there and watch
00:06:12
even though you don't want to. Like you want to sit there and
00:06:15
look at this. Like this first episode was
00:06:18
bananas from literally from the start to to the end.
00:06:22
It was just kind of like, I don't know if I can handle this.
00:06:25
And then we're not going to talk about the second episode yet,
00:06:28
but I watched the second episode today and I was just like, I
00:06:32
don't know if I can do this. It's just it's so much.
00:06:35
It's so much. But OK, so, so let's let's talk
00:06:40
about this because we are in the later part of 1961, early part
00:06:47
of 1962. I think when we start out the
00:06:51
the episode we are, we're looking at a character named
00:06:55
Maddie who has snuck into the theater in Derry and is chased
00:07:00
out in those opening since we kind of get a glimpse into some
00:07:04
of the characters that we're going to meet throughout this
00:07:07
episode. I think one of the things that I
00:07:12
do like about this first episode, again, this is 1962,
00:07:17
we're in Derry, so we're in a a period of time where equal
00:07:22
rights is still not a thing. But you kind of see it in dairy.
00:07:27
You do see a little bit of the racism of of the 1960s they're
00:07:30
dealing with. But you also have some
00:07:32
characters in the show who are African American and they appear
00:07:38
to be big players that they will be major characters in this
00:07:42
particular show. Major handling in particular.
00:07:47
We know just from kind of looking at the old lore and
00:07:50
everything, he is actually Mike Hanlon's grandfather from the
00:07:55
original. It's story.
00:07:57
So we do know that that's going to be prominent not just for
00:08:01
this story, but for the quote UN quote future.
00:08:05
It's story to come. But I like the way that they
00:08:09
don't shy away from what the issues are in that particular
00:08:14
time. Like you have the one military
00:08:18
person who does not want to give handling the the respect that
00:08:22
he's deserved due to his ranking.
00:08:25
And you have the the general who comes in and he was like, hey,
00:08:28
we don't play that shit here. You going to show him his
00:08:31
respect? I I liked it, but I was like, I
00:08:35
feel like this is going to be a thing with the show because even
00:08:39
in even in the original, it's even though that takes place in
00:08:46
the 80s, we do still see a lot of that racism and a lot of
00:08:49
that, you know, that uncomfortableness that they deal
00:08:55
with. And I think we were talking
00:08:56
about this kind of off screen. But one of the things about
00:09:00
Stephen King's works is they do tend to have a lot of racism in
00:09:05
it because he also writes a lot of his stories taking place in
00:09:09
that time. I don't know if there's a rhyme
00:09:12
or reason for that or if it's just to.
00:09:13
Yeah, I. Don't know.
00:09:16
It's it's always the even context.
00:09:18
Like you can't write about the 60s and not have that be a part
00:09:24
of the story, or at least be in it somehow.
00:09:28
Yeah, I know he's definitely been criticized about like his
00:09:32
use of the N word and just kind of like how he does, he double
00:09:36
downs on the racism, like if it's gonna be racist, it's gonna
00:09:39
be racist. And he doesn't hold back.
00:09:41
And I know he's been criticized about that and 'cause he it
00:09:44
didn't stop in the time back in them days in a lot of his in
00:09:48
some of his books. So I think people, you know,
00:09:51
still, you know, feel some kind of worry about it.
00:09:54
But I do think that it is, like you said, gives context because
00:09:58
let's just be real. And he ain't living in this
00:10:00
small white town and people are just accepting him.
00:10:03
That's just not. Yeah, I.
00:10:06
Know so it's something that has to be like talked about, it has
00:10:10
to be shown. Yeah, yeah.
00:10:13
And I think that's one of the things too about, you know,
00:10:17
about that uncomfortableness. Yes, there's a lot of it in his
00:10:21
stories. And and, you know, we all get a
00:10:24
little uncomfortable when we hear the N word coming out of a,
00:10:27
a particular, you know, a particular set of people's
00:10:31
mouths. But also the fact that he really
00:10:35
in his stories is basically saying, look, this shit is
00:10:38
unacceptable. Yeah, there are still people out
00:10:40
there who, who, who talk like this, who say this, yes, that
00:10:45
that is that is definitely the case.
00:10:47
But I like the fact that he's kind of like, this is not cool,
00:10:52
you know? And almost always with his
00:10:55
characters, you know, the ones who are overly racist, they
00:11:01
always get their comeuppance. And that's another thing I like
00:11:04
about. And, and, and I always give him
00:11:06
credit for for being a popular mainstream writer who wasn't
00:11:11
afraid to make people of color central characters.
00:11:18
He he always had a tendency to do that and I always give him
00:11:22
credit for that. So it does make sense that he
00:11:24
would make the racism kind of over the top because you know,
00:11:29
from those characters perspective, that's probably how
00:11:31
it would have. Felt how they viewed it.
00:11:33
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I mean, I haven't read the
00:11:37
book, but is it really over the top racism or was it back then?
00:11:43
Could that be realistic? But over the top to us.
00:11:49
Yeah. I was going to say that.
00:11:50
Yeah, yeah. And maybe even a little bit
00:11:52
underneath realism. Yeah, because again, a lot of
00:11:56
his stories take place in the Sixties, 70s, early 80s, when
00:12:00
that was still kind of prevalent.
00:12:02
And then I think we also have to think about the fact that he's
00:12:05
writing about stories that are up, up north.
00:12:08
They didn't have as much racism up north as it as it was in the
00:12:13
South. Like in the South, it was
00:12:14
rampant. You know, up north they were a
00:12:16
little bit better. There were still some racism
00:12:19
there, but I don't think it was as bad as it was in the South.
00:12:22
But, you know, like Anthony just said, it seems over the top to
00:12:26
us because we're not used to or we weren't used to people being
00:12:31
that free, saying those types of things and those kind of
00:12:36
hostilities and everything. So, yeah, when you read it,
00:12:39
especially when you're a younger kid reading it, because like I
00:12:42
said, I started reading Stephen King.
00:12:43
I think I was like 15 or 16. And it's kind of one of those
00:12:47
things where I was like, Oh my God, they let they allowed this
00:12:50
in a book. You know, it was just it was
00:12:53
kind of a shock back then. But yeah, he he hasn't shield
00:12:58
away from it, you know, and I think some people, at least what
00:13:03
I've heard older because I haven't I'm gonna be honest, I
00:13:05
haven't read most of his newer stuff because for a while I kind
00:13:09
of got away from the horror genre.
00:13:13
But I do know that there have been some complaints about
00:13:16
people, like, I mean, from people about like, OK, you know,
00:13:20
we get it. This is how things were.
00:13:22
This is how people talk. But you don't have to put in all
00:13:24
your books. You know, it's just kind of one
00:13:26
of those things where it's just like, let's let's try something
00:13:30
different. But I don't know if I, I don't
00:13:35
know if it bothers me that much because of the fact that it,
00:13:39
like you say, it's, it's just it, it's a narrative from the
00:13:42
way times were back then. And that's the period of time
00:13:45
that he was writing about. I mean, truth be told, it
00:13:49
bothers me now in 2025 hearing people say that freely on social
00:13:54
media and in the streets than it does in a work of fiction, you
00:13:59
know, But OK, we got to talk about this, this, this opening
00:14:09
that kind of lets us know, OK, yes, you are definitely in
00:14:12
dairy. Because when the when when the
00:14:14
show starts out, it's kind of it's kind of chill.
00:14:18
You know, you have this character Maddie, he seems to be
00:14:22
some kind of like almost like a little outcast.
00:14:24
He's at a movie theater by himself.
00:14:26
He's the only child in a movie that I guess is it.
00:14:31
It's not that he's not supposed to be there, but he didn't pay
00:14:34
for a ticket to be in there. So he gets chased out by the
00:14:37
usher. And, you know, we kind of see
00:14:40
his interaction with one of the other kids in the town named
00:14:43
Ronnie. Her dad works at the movie
00:14:45
theater. He kind of, but hold on.
00:14:48
He was Hanukkah, you bypassing. He's in the movie theater.
00:14:54
What? What?
00:14:58
Who am I bypassing? I'm sorry, the pacifier got me.
00:15:02
I'm like, wait here, hold on. I was.
00:15:04
Don't get to that. I was.
00:15:06
Going no, you get a description. And as he sat there with his
00:15:09
pacifier mouth while watching the music, man.
00:15:12
Yeah, 'cause what I was going to say, it's called it.
00:15:15
Welcome to dairy. The reason why it starts out
00:15:17
chill, I'm sitting here, it's like, hey, when is the
00:15:20
shenanigans going to begin? Then you should have passed away
00:15:25
OK. The whole beginning.
00:15:29
See the pacifier part, It was it, it came off as weird to me,
00:15:33
but I didn't like, I was just kind of like, OK, that's some
00:15:38
kind of emotional crutch. I'm, I'm sitting here looking at
00:15:41
him. You know, this is a kid who is
00:15:43
sitting in the theater when he's hiding and, you know, Ronnie's
00:15:48
father's talking to the usher. He was like, yo, man, you know,
00:15:51
you know what his family is like, just leave the kid alone.
00:15:54
And this is when you kind of get an idea that something's not all
00:15:58
that right with his family and then.
00:16:00
Yeah, but but you know the shenanigans.
00:16:02
You know the shenanigans are coming.
00:16:04
But the shenanigans haven't started yet.
00:16:06
That's. The thing.
00:16:06
But you knew. You knew it was.
00:16:08
Coming, This is chill compared to what happens in the next
00:16:12
scene. That's all I'm saying.
00:16:13
It was chill. This is about a kid who just
00:16:16
basically snuck into a movie. He was hiding.
00:16:19
And then it's like you kind of look at this kid.
00:16:21
Like I said, he he seems like he might be a little bit of an
00:16:24
outcast. You already get a hint that
00:16:26
there's something not right with his family life.
00:16:29
The kid has a he has a bruised eye, like someone punched him in
00:16:33
the face. He's sucking on a pacifier as a
00:16:36
as a means of comfort. I get it.
00:16:39
It's just like the little kid in the raincoat want to play with
00:16:43
his brother boat floating down the street.
00:16:48
Oh, it's so nice. And.
00:16:49
Innocent. Right.
00:16:54
Up until the next. Don't you?
00:16:56
Don't you see the parallels? I do.
00:16:59
But what I'm saying is if, if we didn't know that this was
00:17:04
welcome to Dairy, if we didn't know this was a It story, if
00:17:07
they had just started it that way in the movie theater, you
00:17:12
would think, OK, this is just about a delinquent child.
00:17:15
You wouldn't think any of the horror stuff.
00:17:18
But clearly, clearly, clearly. It.
00:17:22
Welcome to dairy. They didn't try to fool you or
00:17:26
fake you or anything. I know, but.
00:17:29
And they started out just like with the boy wanting to play
00:17:32
with his brother with a sailboat outside in the.
00:17:36
Rain. It's so.
00:17:38
Compared to what? Oh, yeah.
00:17:42
Just like the boy gets his arm ripped off.
00:17:47
Only because I'm watching it. Because, you know, Michelle
00:17:49
watched. Yeah, she watched it chapter 1
00:17:55
and I was watching like man, that's like a 5 year old and we
00:17:59
just sitting here watch his arm get eaten off.
00:18:02
Yeah, yeah. That's.
00:18:02
The good thing about Stephen King also that is like he don't.
00:18:07
Yeah, so watching. So watching this little boy
00:18:10
sitting in the theater with the pacifier, I'm sitting here
00:18:13
waiting, OK? It's coming, it's coming, it's
00:18:16
coming, it's coming, it's coming.
00:18:18
And how bad is coming? We don't know.
00:18:20
But it's coming because you knew you were on your seat like.
00:18:24
And that's the thing, because it was so, like I said, it was so
00:18:27
chill at the beginning. And then when it was just
00:18:29
basically about him getting chased out the theater, I was
00:18:32
like, OK, they're going to drag this out.
00:18:35
They're going to make us wait for it.
00:18:36
No, I was wrong. Oh, no, I didn't think they were
00:18:39
going to make us wait. That's why I said I was on edge
00:18:41
when he was in the movie theater.
00:18:42
That's why you saying chill, That one chill.
00:18:44
And he's smacking on the pacifier.
00:18:45
I'm like, oh, this boy about to go.
00:18:48
He is about to go. How he's going, I don't know.
00:18:52
I'm scared. I'm sorry.
00:18:53
I'm skipping, I'm skipping the head.
00:18:55
So he hijacking, right? I'm like, wait, when?
00:18:57
When did what 11 year olds? OK, no Jack hitchhiking.
00:19:03
Hitchhiking. I'm sorry.
00:19:06
That was the thing that set me on edge when I saw him walking
00:19:10
and he's he's. A daughter, he's gone.
00:19:11
Here we go. But then.
00:19:13
But then he gets picked. When?
00:19:15
When did you realize that family wasn't right?
00:19:18
I was scared from the beginning, just because it was it.
00:19:20
I was scared me. Too.
00:19:23
So when they when they picked them up and they were all nice
00:19:26
and stuff and they were like, where are you going?
00:19:28
He said. Anywhere but Darren, they were
00:19:30
like, well we're going to Portland.
00:19:32
I was like get the fuck out the car now.
00:19:34
Because most people be like, no, we're going to take you home.
00:19:38
Your family is going to miss you.
00:19:40
And I said, oh, this boy is going to die horribly.
00:19:44
This is the other. Thing we got to think about this
00:19:46
is the 60s. They did that shit back then.
00:19:49
I mean, if you think about all of the old TV shows we've
00:19:53
watched where kids are hijacked, I mean when they are hitchhiking
00:20:00
and stuff, they're all younger kids, they're all getting in
00:20:03
like trucks and all this other stuff.
00:20:05
But we're not questioning them not staying.
00:20:08
Where is your. Parents, it was it was the
00:20:11
family because typically a family picking up a kid is going
00:20:14
to get them home. He was a single man in a truck.
00:20:19
Sure, he'd be like where you want to go, I'll take you.
00:20:22
I understand you got to run away from life, but not a family with
00:20:26
a pregnant mother and we didn't. Even know she was pregnant until
00:20:31
he had her stomach. He did hit her.
00:20:34
Summer he did hit the summer, but I thought we saw that she
00:20:36
was pregnant it. Was great.
00:20:38
You didn't see it until until he was trying to grab the steering
00:20:41
wheel and the father knocked him off and he hit her in the
00:20:43
stomach. That's when we realized she was
00:20:45
pregnant. OK.
00:20:47
But it's still that he knocked her up after he she makes the
00:20:50
other kids spell vasectomy, but she they don't pan to her belly.
00:20:54
At that point, it doesn't matter.
00:20:56
She had two kids in the backseat.
00:20:58
They got picnic baskets and stuff in suitcases.
00:21:01
They're nice families, so they should have been like, let's
00:21:04
take you home. No, the moment they did it
00:21:06
first. Where do you live?
00:21:08
Yeah, the moment they picked him up and they were like, OK, so we
00:21:12
got you in here, you walk Where? Where?
00:21:14
Where? Where are you going?
00:21:16
And he was like anywhere but there.
00:21:17
They're like where we're going to Portland.
00:21:20
I was like, first of all, y'all are in Derry, Maine.
00:21:24
It don't matter if you going to Portland.
00:21:25
What? What is the other Portland?
00:21:27
That's near Portland, NY. Or something is in Maine.
00:21:30
I think it's Portland. Maine OK, so I was like y'all
00:21:35
just going to go to a whole nother city and and take the
00:21:38
child with you don't ask any other questions like and you
00:21:42
know, I'm sitting here again, this is it.
00:21:44
So we know some fuckery is about to go on, but I'm sitting here
00:21:48
trying to think, OK, what would make a a quote UN quote normal
00:21:52
family, not question that. Maybe it was the fact that he
00:21:55
had the black eye. Maybe they were looking at that
00:21:57
like, OK, this is a kid that clearly needs to get away from
00:22:00
his his situation. Maybe we'll just take him a
00:22:02
little while, you know, take him a little far away and then we'll
00:22:06
we'll make a phone call or something.
00:22:08
I was like, you know what? This is not going to end well at
00:22:11
all. So then things start getting
00:22:16
really weird because you have the older sister that's in the
00:22:20
back seat and she clearly doesn't want this kid in the
00:22:22
car, or at least that's the way she's acting.
00:22:25
You have the little brother who is apparently like, spelling.
00:22:30
So he just starts randomly spelling stuff.
00:22:33
And then the parents start getting into these weird
00:22:37
conversations and it's like, OK, what was it?
00:22:41
The little girl said something about she she said something
00:22:45
nasty to the brother and the mom says be nice.
00:22:48
And she was like I can, but I am nice when I want to be and she's
00:22:52
like, there's my little harlot can't keep those legs closed.
00:22:56
If she tried. I was like, oh, that took a turn
00:22:59
real fast. Right.
00:23:01
Yeah, but go back to the sister in the liver.
00:23:06
Yeah. I was like, dude, if you don't
00:23:08
get the fuck out this car, like just open the door.
00:23:11
Tuck, Tuck. I mean she is sniffing.
00:23:15
I hate liver wet. That didn't help.
00:23:17
Not. Cooked just wet raw liver.
00:23:20
Yeah, I. Was like, yeah, I was.
00:23:26
Like you know what I'm doing the.
00:23:30
Visual of her doing that because.
00:23:34
Well, they they picked the. Food.
00:23:35
I would have taken the penalty and just opened the door.
00:23:38
That's why I'm. Saying tuck and roll, tuck and
00:23:40
roll, you know? What they picked the food they
00:23:42
knew children would hate the most.
00:23:44
And it was like, let's let's play with this.
00:23:46
I'm like. But then like this little kid,
00:23:55
this poor little kid, which if anything, if this, if this thing
00:23:59
doesn't teach you anything else, it teaches you don't get into
00:24:04
the car with strangers. Even if it's a family, even if
00:24:08
they don't do. Not get into the car with
00:24:11
strangers because this family went from seeming normal to
00:24:17
psychotic in the span of 10 seconds.
00:24:20
And this boy is sitting here just watching this and I'm like,
00:24:25
dude, get out the car already. But again, he's a kid.
00:24:28
He's probably in shock. He's probably scared.
00:24:30
So he's probably not thinking like, oh, I need to like his
00:24:33
fight, flight or what is it? His fight or flight response was
00:24:37
not working properly at the time.
00:24:39
He's just sitting there looking at the way all of this is
00:24:42
unfolding. And by the time he realizes
00:24:44
they're crazy is when they start.
00:24:46
You know, the mom starts saying, oh, yeah, we can spell these
00:24:49
words. Spell vasectomy.
00:24:50
What does she say? Spell vasectomy.
00:24:53
Spell cadaver smell. Spell kidnapping.
00:24:57
And then it was necrosis. Yeah, like all this trouble.
00:25:02
I'm like. What is that so oh, and then
00:25:05
when she said something about stabbing, that's when he's
00:25:08
trying to get out the car. There's a gas station.
00:25:10
You can let me out, bro. You already.
00:25:12
It's already to they they've already said necrosis cadaver
00:25:17
like you're you're done. You're done.
00:25:21
Yeah. So it's out, out, right?
00:25:25
And then out and then they're all doing out, they're all
00:25:28
spelling out. And then he tries to grab the
00:25:31
the steering wheel for the from the dad and dad is like, Oh no,
00:25:34
I got this and knocks him off. Like we said, he hits her in her
00:25:37
stomach and that's when we realize she's fully pregnant
00:25:40
then. No, then then they pan to the
00:25:44
the little boy and he got the eyes like Pennywise and
00:25:48
Pennywise eyes. So they found they found the
00:25:50
key. Actually, who could do it?
00:25:53
Listen. Yeah, you're done.
00:25:55
Are you talking about the eyes? That's going direction.
00:25:59
So. Creepy listen.
00:26:01
You know, when that kid walked into the audition, all he had to
00:26:04
do was that, and they were like, you got the job.
00:26:06
Yeah, right. You're hired.
00:26:07
You're hired. But then she goes into labor
00:26:13
and. I'm sorry, I have to say this,
00:26:20
I'm sorry. We were eating dinner and we
00:26:25
just eat dinner and we watching this and when they get to the
00:26:29
out and some definitely came out.
00:26:32
Anthony was like, I'm done and I'm staying like.
00:26:37
She's still. Eating.
00:26:38
I'm still eating like this is so this is so hot.
00:26:42
I have so many friends who talked about the fact that they
00:26:45
were actually eating dinner when that scene came on and I'm like
00:26:48
OK first of all what made y'all think that you could watch
00:26:53
something based on it while you are eating like.
00:26:58
There's love. Away in hell.
00:27:02
See, I can deal with an arm being bitten off, but a live
00:27:07
birth? And that kind of birth.
00:27:12
And sorry, that stuff never ends.
00:27:13
So I just kept on going and she's still I.
00:27:15
Just take my feet. I said, and it's so crazy
00:27:21
because she's got she's got the she's got her underwear on and
00:27:24
you can see the head trying to push out of the underwear and
00:27:28
she actually has to move. I was just like, this is way
00:27:32
more than I was expecting the Washington.
00:27:36
But she had she has this, this, this baby.
00:27:40
And everybody kind of stops in the car and it's quiet.
00:27:43
Even even little Maddie is in the back trying to figure out
00:27:46
what the hell just happened because he's like, oh, she just
00:27:49
gave birth to a baby. I don't think he was thinking
00:27:52
that what came out of this woman was gonna be when it came out.
00:27:55
But the let me tell you, I've seen a lot of horror.
00:28:03
I've seen a lot of monsters. Nothing prepared me for that
00:28:10
fucking demon baby. And the crazy thing was I I got
00:28:17
spoiled about the demon baby because literally if you did not
00:28:21
watch this show on the first night, they had spoilers like
00:28:25
3-4 hours later on the official Facebook page.
00:28:29
So literally I'm scrolling through Facebook and I see a
00:28:34
video and it's that baby's face right in the thing.
00:28:37
I was like Nope. This is why I no because.
00:28:40
Why they do that? That's so insane to me.
00:28:43
But when I saw that's OK, Nope. This lets me know I do not need
00:28:47
to watch this before I go to bed.
00:28:48
I need to give it a day. I need to wait.
00:28:50
Because that is the thing of nightmares.
00:28:56
I can't. Like I've seen demon babies.
00:28:58
I've seen like I never ever like, I mean, I'm fully
00:29:07
expecting someone to come to Dragon Con with one of those
00:29:09
next year of. Course, of course.
00:29:13
And they're twins. Listen, it's just that one twin
00:29:19
is absorbing the other twin with one wing.
00:29:24
The the stuff of nightmares. And then that thing starts.
00:29:30
She's like, oh, my precious little beautiful baby, don't
00:29:33
meet the rest of your family. And this thing starts splitting
00:29:37
all around the car, still attached by the umbilical cord.
00:29:40
I was y'all. I don't consider myself no punk.
00:29:47
I don't consider myself weak. That fucking baby.
00:29:52
No, no. And then we had to see that.
00:29:56
Thing not once but twice in the episode, we get it at the very
00:30:00
beginning and we get it at the very end.
00:30:03
But what what's my favorite part though, is he was like, let me
00:30:06
get my pacifier and when I suck on this, it's going to
00:30:09
disappear. Yeah, but then when he does
00:30:12
that, everyone stops and turn, even the baby.
00:30:16
Rex, are you serious right here? Like you got a fast.
00:30:19
Back right and then you're. Ignoring what's happening in
00:30:23
this car. OK, I got you.
00:30:25
And the baby, yeah, the baby was like, oh, I got you.
00:30:27
Ignore it because the next thing we know, we we hear rather than
00:30:32
see the baby, I guess attack him and you see the pacifier going
00:30:36
floating out of the car into the sewers and then you see the
00:30:41
light from under the sewers and then we get the title car.
00:30:43
But I was like, you know, what if y'all starting out this, this
00:30:48
series with this type of Bush, I'm just, I don't know if I'm, I
00:30:59
don't know if I'm like prepared to deal with the amount of
00:31:04
fuckery we're going to get from this show.
00:31:07
That was the first 5 minutes. Yeah.
00:31:12
And what is, what is the? I just need to know like, and
00:31:15
that's probably going to come later, but like the significance
00:31:18
of this baby being a baby, like why did we choose a baby?
00:31:22
It's because it was it because the kid was a baby.
00:31:25
And it's like he. Was a no, he's he's it is waking
00:31:29
up. It's.
00:31:31
Just kind of. Like a rebirth because it's 27
00:31:33
years later, so it's like a rebirth.
00:31:35
Yeah, it's, it's in his, it's in his birthing stages.
00:31:39
It's it's waking up, it's coming out of hibernation.
00:31:41
So it's starting, starting kind of small.
00:31:45
And then using and then also using the fear because at this
00:31:50
time it because even on the radio they were talking about
00:31:53
bombs and things being mutated, mutated and stuff.
00:31:59
So that was like a fear at that time for people.
00:32:02
Yeah, and we know about. Bombs and mutation and yeah, so.
00:32:07
What year did they say this was, 1960?
00:32:11
It should be not even December 1961 or January 1962, because
00:32:15
when we start, when we start the next scene with Phil on top of
00:32:21
the tower looking at the airplanes, the date says April.
00:32:24
What was it? Four months later, April 1962?
00:32:28
I. Think it was January because
00:32:30
later in the episode there was fireworks from New Year's and
00:32:33
Maddie was alive. OK, Yeah, yeah, OK.
00:32:37
But it's still holiday season 'cause they still had like the
00:32:39
Christmas tree at the movie theater, but with everyone, you
00:32:42
know, still has that up till New year.
00:32:44
So yeah. And all of this is right before
00:32:48
the Cuban Missile Crisis. That's what I was just about to
00:32:50
ask. It's just cause of the.
00:32:51
Yeah, that's what I was about to ask.
00:32:52
Yeah. So that's what is a.
00:32:54
Big thing, yeah. Yeah, but yeah, so.
00:32:58
So that's the way they decided to start off this series with,
00:33:01
with the demon baby and the disappearance of this this
00:33:04
Maddie Clements kid. So yeah, I, I can't say anything
00:33:12
else about this baby yet because we got to, we got to save it for
00:33:15
the the end of the the episode. But so at this point, four
00:33:21
months later, Maddie's missing. We get to meet some of his
00:33:25
friends. And this is, you know, I say
00:33:30
this and I don't know if this is just kids in the 60s.
00:33:35
I don't know if this is just the way white kids interact.
00:33:39
I I just don't know. But it's like the the way that
00:33:44
his so-called friends were, not really.
00:33:49
Friends. Yeah.
00:33:52
Because they wasn't his friends. That's what Theo was saying.
00:33:56
He was feeling guilty because he knew that they weren't really
00:34:00
his friend. Teddy was trying to make it
00:34:03
more. Phil is like we wasn't his
00:34:06
friends. His Mama asked us to come to his
00:34:09
birthday party and gave us candy, paid us to come to his
00:34:14
birthday right? So they wasn't his.
00:34:15
Friends to pay us money. Well, it was candy.
00:34:18
It was candy, so you know what I'm saying?
00:34:21
So it wasn't his friends. Bill and Teddy are friends.
00:34:27
They ride or die, but. But you know, it's, it is kind
00:34:31
of sad though, because. Maybe.
00:34:33
People who we not friends with, who we kind of deal with just
00:34:36
for whatever the reason is just, you know, so they won't be
00:34:40
lonely at Dragon Con or whatever we do.
00:34:42
We just kind of bring people just because you were nice and
00:34:44
we just want people to not feel alone.
00:34:47
If that person got killed, I don't know you, will you?
00:34:50
Not really my friend, but I would be, I would feel some kind
00:34:53
of way if you just up and got murdered and and, you know, even
00:34:57
if we weren't friends, I would still feel so I get why the
00:34:59
other little boy also feels guilty because I would feel that
00:35:02
way too, like I wasn't really trying to be their friend.
00:35:05
But this is very sad, you know? Right.
00:35:08
What I could have done something to kind of not have him go
00:35:11
missing or something, you know, maybe if we involved him more.
00:35:15
Right, right. Yeah.
00:35:17
He has somebody to kind of like confide in or you know.
00:35:20
Yeah, but it I was just like, OK, so.
00:35:23
So these are the two friends who and, and I guess I kind of got
00:35:27
the idea that maybe Teddy probably considered himself a
00:35:31
friend more than Phil does, because Teddy was the one who
00:35:34
was like, look, he's missing. He was, he was the one that was
00:35:37
like. Four months.
00:35:39
No, no, Teddy was just feeling guilty.
00:35:43
Teddy is exactly what Nina said. Like, you know what?
00:35:46
Oh man, we, we, we could have been his friend, you know,
00:35:52
maybe. We found out later they only
00:35:54
took him up to the The Hideout 1.
00:35:56
One time, one time and he acted maybe act like this, this is
00:36:02
his, you know, homeboys and stuff like this, so.
00:36:05
I mean, who was going to question him?
00:36:07
Nobody wasn't going to know because.
00:36:10
Yeah, because let me say that that whole again.
00:36:14
I'm going to not just those friends, but just the friend
00:36:18
groups and the friend clicks all together in the show.
00:36:23
Like Marge does not seem like she is a good friend to Lily to
00:36:27
me. She's one of those kids who was
00:36:31
trying to get in with the popular girls.
00:36:33
And like all these kids have have their different little
00:36:37
issues. Like, you know, Teddy is, he's a
00:36:41
Jewish kid who, I don't know, his family dynamic was really
00:36:47
weird because you have him, you have the brother, you have his
00:36:50
parents. And the parents come off kind
00:36:53
of, I don't know, they're like very quiet and cordial.
00:36:59
And then he says the one little thing to his dad.
00:37:04
What was it that he asked his dad?
00:37:05
Oh. Can, can, Can you imagine
00:37:07
someone keeping, so can someone keep someone in in a sewer?
00:37:13
Yeah, for that long? And he's like, dude.
00:37:16
Dad just explodes. First of all, I have two things
00:37:20
to say. First about the parents and the
00:37:22
adults. We kind of have to take it all
00:37:24
with a grain of salt because they are being influenced by it.
00:37:29
So you know their their mood swings and how they act is not
00:37:34
always going to be normal. OK.
00:37:38
And and #2 and #2 is a side note.
00:37:41
I know all three y'all and I know all three y'all were
00:37:44
popular kids. I was not a popular kid.
00:37:47
So some of this stuff triggered me a little bit.
00:37:51
But but yeah, I, I, I I I pushed through the and 3rd.
00:37:57
Of all I was. Not the popular kid I was just
00:37:59
one of. Those kids, whatever, you knew
00:38:02
everybody. Yeah, but yeah, yeah.
00:38:04
And the sad part is, let's have a side note.
00:38:08
She's going to say she she knows all the people that actually
00:38:11
means you were popular. See that I learned that.
00:38:13
No, no, I learned that because I did the same thing like about
00:38:16
clicks and popular and people were like, Oh, you're in the
00:38:19
click, You're popular even at work.
00:38:21
And I'm like, we're not in the click and no one's popular.
00:38:24
What are you talking about? And then I saw it.
00:38:27
And then I realized, Oh, that's what they mean.
00:38:30
So when you popular and stuff, you don't think you popular let
00:38:34
you popular. Sorry.
00:38:38
Yeah. No, I definitely wasn't popular,
00:38:39
but I went to so many schools that I had that that filtered
00:38:42
into the one school. I knew everybody because I knew
00:38:45
them from elementary, from this school and.
00:38:46
That's and I think that that's kind of more but as well.
00:38:50
Yeah, but you know, that's a part under popular.
00:38:55
I ain't mean to start nothing. I'm just letting y'all know that
00:38:59
as the as the one person who really wasn't, I'm telling the
00:39:04
three of you, y'all are all popular.
00:39:07
Even to this day, y'all are still the popular kids.
00:39:12
That's all I'm going to say and. We were and we.
00:39:15
Were to disagree. Right.
00:39:16
And because and because we were popular in there, because I, I,
00:39:19
we had this discussion, we were popular in a way because you did
00:39:23
know all the groups and you could go into different groups
00:39:27
and know what is happening and they know who you are, correct.
00:39:32
OK, you see what I'm saying? So you're like, well, I wasn't
00:39:36
popular, but you know, this group of people knew you, this
00:39:40
group of people knew you. This group of people knew you.
00:39:42
This group of people knew you. This group of people knew.
00:39:45
You and I think I think what's what's kind of happened over the
00:39:47
years is it has a negative connotation and it's not
00:39:51
necessarily a bad thing to to have them popular, is it that a
00:39:56
lot of media has made it, you know, like Heather's and, you
00:40:01
know, all these other movies and shows make popular not be a good
00:40:07
thing and. I I don't.
00:40:08
Think it wasn't? Necessarily that I think for,
00:40:11
for me, my, my definition of popular is, you know, I guess
00:40:15
like the standard social definition of, oh, you know, the
00:40:20
head cheerleader, the football person, the homecoming queen,
00:40:24
like the people who are like status wise.
00:40:28
You know what I'm saying? I think that's what I look at
00:40:30
when I think popular. And then that's why I was like,
00:40:33
I'm like, no, I wasn't popular like that.
00:40:35
I wasn't one. Of the people.
00:40:36
But if you ask rich kids, If you ask one of the rich kids, do you
00:40:40
know Hanukkah? Yeah, I do.
00:40:42
If you ask another person who was top of their food chain,
00:40:46
they'll know who you are. So not that you you weren't the
00:40:49
leader of those groups. You got popular in the school
00:40:52
that everyone knew who you were. And see, that's how I was.
00:40:55
Like people just knew who I was. So you weren't, you weren't
00:40:57
Patty, but you were one of Patty's friends.
00:41:01
No, I wouldn't even say that, no.
00:41:03
No, no. I.
00:41:04
Was making a joke. No, no, not.
00:41:06
At. All because the Patty.
00:41:08
The Patty cakes are interesting. Let me say, OK, so, yeah, so
00:41:12
getting getting back to the show, but these these friends
00:41:16
and these friend groups, because it's like, and I guess that's
00:41:19
the one thing that I didn't see a lot of in high school because
00:41:24
like you have you have Marge, right?
00:41:26
And she's friends with Lily, who apparently has gone through some
00:41:31
trauma. This is a girl whose father I, I
00:41:36
don't even like. Even when they explained what
00:41:39
happened, I was like, but how? So apparently her father worked
00:41:43
at the at the pickling plant. She went to visit him at work
00:41:46
One day. She left behind something, a
00:41:49
mood ring or something that she had gotten.
00:41:51
She wanted it. So Dad went back to go get it
00:41:53
for her and somehow found himself getting caught up in the
00:42:00
machinery. He was helping so another,
00:42:02
another person's machinery was getting messed up.
00:42:07
He thought he turned the power off before he went in to unclog
00:42:10
it or whatever. And he didn't turn off the power
00:42:13
or it or somebody might have been somehow and it started
00:42:17
running while he was inside the machinery and then they he got,
00:42:21
you know. He got he he basically got
00:42:25
dismembered and his body parts ended up in pickle jars.
00:42:29
And let me just tell you as a pickle girl.
00:42:31
Well, they they said that was they said that was a rumor that
00:42:34
his parts was in pickle jars all over the place.
00:42:37
But I think it was just in the plant.
00:42:39
Yeah, I, well, I think they probably ended up in the jars
00:42:43
because if the machine was on and that's what the machine
00:42:46
does, that's probably what happened.
00:42:47
I don't think the jars actually made it out.
00:42:50
No, that that's what they're saying.
00:42:51
It was a rumor that people were finding parts of him in other
00:42:54
places. Yeah, I, I don't, I would hope
00:42:58
that the quality control in that place would be a little bit
00:43:01
better to. They would have to clean that
00:43:03
whole I mean, you know, back in the day, way back in the day
00:43:07
before clean that up they. Get 1000.
00:43:10
Pieces of him and they pick. Could be a finger, you know,
00:43:13
months later you'd be like, oh, I thought we got that.
00:43:16
Box of jars. My bad.
00:43:18
Yeah, yeah. But apparently her trauma was so
00:43:22
great with this that they stuck her in an insane asylum for
00:43:27
treatment because she felt it was her guilt.
00:43:29
She felt guilty. Yeah.
00:43:31
But so anyway, normal. I don't even want to say normal.
00:43:38
Regular idiotic kids. They, they use this as a means
00:43:42
to bully her because she comes to school and opens up her
00:43:45
locker and there's a, a, a jar of Pickles that's stuffed in her
00:43:49
locker and it falls down. Of course, she splashed with
00:43:51
little juice and everything. So you got Marge, her friend,
00:43:54
coming over and being like really nice and being
00:43:57
encouraging, but at the same time see her trying to appeal to
00:44:02
this group of popular kids. And I was just like, this is not
00:44:05
going. This is not going to end up the
00:44:08
way it's supposed to end up. Like this is not going to work
00:44:11
the way you want it to work. You're trying to be friends with
00:44:13
the literal social outcast of the school, but you also want to
00:44:17
be in with the popular girls. One of those one of those
00:44:20
friendships is going to suffer. And I don't think it's going to
00:44:23
be the popular girls. So I just already don't really
00:44:27
care about this March girl. And then Phil, like you said,
00:44:32
basically Phil is like, look, we, we we got paid to go to this
00:44:36
dude's birthday party, but we're not his friend.
00:44:39
Yeah, he disappeared. Oh, it's sad, but life goes on.
00:44:41
Let's talk about these conspiracy theories.
00:44:46
Just just like his conspiracy. Theories have me crying.
00:44:53
Listen, and, and, and the crazy thing is when everything starts
00:44:58
coming together, when Lily seeks out those guys because of
00:45:02
course, at in her mind, she thinks that they're his friends
00:45:04
because this is again, like you said, this is what he has LED
00:45:07
her to believe that these are his friends.
00:45:09
So when she goes to them after the stuff happens to her, she
00:45:13
she starts hearing the voices in the pipes and then she sees a
00:45:16
bloody finger come out of the bathtub, you know, the hole in
00:45:21
the bathtub. And she goes to his friends to
00:45:23
say, Hey, we need to figure out what happened to him.
00:45:27
I'm hearing his voice this than other the one person who was
00:45:33
like, oh, you're crazy. No, this can't happen.
00:45:35
Dude. You are literally Mr. Conspiracy
00:45:38
Theorist. You were talking about all this
00:45:40
stuff and that's what Teddy says.
00:45:41
Then he was like, dude, you have told me what 50 million ways
00:45:45
that aliens have infiltrated the the earth and of a voice coming
00:45:50
out of the pipes is impossible to you?
00:45:53
Like what? That's what I said.
00:45:56
That's why I did too. I was like, come on.
00:45:58
Right, you know, aliens, everything aliens on the on the
00:46:02
base, right, right, but you know it's.
00:46:05
No different from what real people do.
00:46:07
Yeah. They do that in in real life,
00:46:10
they can talk about all this stuff and then you get this one
00:46:12
little thing that's actually got a possibility or there's some
00:46:15
kind of grain of truth or you got some shred of evidence.
00:46:18
They're like, no, that can't exist.
00:46:20
What? Well that's what always bother
00:46:22
me about shows like like True Blood.
00:46:26
Y'all got vampires, They can't be fairy where will oh this
00:46:31
can't be that can't be you're living.
00:46:34
With vampires, yeah, but you know what, it sneaks up on you
00:46:38
because I thought the same way when we were do with Outlander
00:46:42
and we doing time travel and then Jamie, you know, I'm sorry,
00:46:46
spoiler alert. He start having, you know, I
00:46:49
don't know, visions. And I was she knows.
00:46:52
And I was like, how we having visions?
00:46:55
Where'd that come from? And I'm like, Michelle, we
00:46:57
watching time travel. Why can't we have visions too,
00:47:02
right. And then I was like, oh, OK.
00:47:04
Something. I was like, oh, OK, but at first
00:47:07
I did the same thing, like that can't be real.
00:47:09
She. Really did I was like in time
00:47:14
traveling 200. Right.
00:47:15
So I was like, OK, I'm sorry, we're in time travel, no
00:47:18
problem. So he should be like thinking
00:47:22
it's part of the aliens. He could have chucked that up to
00:47:24
say it was aliens instead of saying oh it's nothing.
00:47:28
Right. And if if I remember correctly
00:47:32
it is aliens, right? Or was the.
00:47:36
No. The original In the original
00:47:38
story, wasn't it like something having to do with the alien or
00:47:42
or? It is, yeah.
00:47:44
He is an alien, Yeah, no matter what, he's an alien.
00:47:47
But so see feel right. You had your chance and you
00:47:53
threw it away, right? Right.
00:47:57
But it's just when all of this stuff starts happening.
00:48:00
So Lily hears the voice in the, you know, in the tub and she
00:48:05
goes to them and, you know, the the show kind of shows a little
00:48:08
bit of the the background with her and Maddie again, Maddie
00:48:12
invites her to the tower. Just kind of like trying to get
00:48:16
close to her and being a friend to her because of what happened,
00:48:19
you know, I guess. And one thing about him, he
00:48:22
knows what it's like to be an outcast.
00:48:24
He knows what it's like to be kind of alone.
00:48:26
And he was reaching out to her as a friend, which I thought was
00:48:30
really sweet. But then of course, he tries to
00:48:32
take it to another level and tries to kiss her and she's
00:48:35
like, we're friends. I don't.
00:48:38
I don't. Want this.
00:48:39
He got friend zone real quick. Real quick.
00:48:44
I've never seen a friend zone that fast in my life.
00:48:47
Oh yeah, I have, yeah. But I mean but.
00:48:50
It it was one of those things where it's like, I don't, I
00:48:54
don't think she did it to be mean and I don't think that she.
00:48:57
No, no. Oh no.
00:48:59
Even been opposed to that idea if she had had more time to
00:49:02
think about it, but it was like literally it was so sudden.
00:49:05
And this especially if you are a person who is used to being by
00:49:08
herself, who is not used to being friends with anybody or
00:49:12
having friends, especially male friends, for someone to just all
00:49:16
of a sudden come at you like that.
00:49:17
She was probably like, yeah, no, I don't, I don't know what to do
00:49:21
with this. Let's, as Anthony says, let's
00:49:25
put a bookmark right here. And yeah, maybe we might try to
00:49:30
do, we might look at that later. But of course, they really
00:49:33
didn't have a chance to explore that because I think within like
00:49:37
a couple of days this, you know, is when he actually disappeared.
00:49:41
But you know, she takes her her experience and what happens to
00:49:48
her in the tub to to Teddy and to Phil and then.
00:49:54
They start to do research. They're like, OK, well, let's go
00:49:58
check this out. They go to the library and
00:50:00
they're looking at microfilm. I was like, oh, wait, wait,
00:50:03
wait, hold on, let's go back, 'cause when she when she first
00:50:08
tells them, wait a second, OK, I'm out of order.
00:50:12
Nevermind, keep going. No.
00:50:14
What were you? Oh, what?
00:50:15
Were you going to say no? I didn't realize no, because I
00:50:19
was thinking, did they go? Did they go to, did he go to his
00:50:22
parents first? Did he go to the library?
00:50:24
I want to say something about the parents.
00:50:27
I think they went. I have it on right now, but I
00:50:30
just don't remember what came next.
00:50:33
Oh yeah, I don't. Oh, you know what?
00:50:36
Like my brain, I really don't know what came next and I just
00:50:39
had. It on and I don't remember.
00:50:41
I got to, I got to remember because she OK, so she had that
00:50:45
experience and then Teddy has an experience of his.
00:50:49
Oh wait, Oh yeah, 'cause she has experience.
00:50:51
That's when she pulls them and tells them feel is like this is
00:50:55
unbelievable. And that's when Teddy 'cause we
00:50:58
talked about it. Teddy asked his family and and
00:51:01
now I wanted to get to that. Cause the thing about it, I
00:51:04
guess, is Dad has talked about their past.
00:51:09
And when he brought it up about under the sewer, I think he
00:51:13
snapped because it was almost like, have you not been
00:51:15
listening to the stories we've been telling you?
00:51:18
Yeah. And and that could happen
00:51:20
because this has been the worst things that has happened to us.
00:51:25
Have you ticked like, come on. Yeah, Benny, have you been
00:51:29
paying? Attention asked him about that.
00:51:31
And when dad starts telling him about what happened to, you
00:51:35
know, their Jewish ancestors, you know, our ancestors were put
00:51:40
in concentration camps. You know, their skins were made,
00:51:44
used to make lamp shades. He was like horrors.
00:51:48
Like he was. Like, yeah, we, we, we've dealt
00:51:50
with horrors like this before. It was recent, more recent than
00:51:53
ancestors because I think the dad was like, we escaped from
00:51:58
like I think it was recent. Oh.
00:52:00
Yeah, 19, Yeah. Yeah, it was.
00:52:03
Recent memory for him, Yeah. And side note, Michelle was
00:52:07
watching Monster about Ed Gein and and the the woman who was
00:52:15
making the lampshades out of their skin is what inspired him
00:52:20
to do the same thing. And so when I saw the lampshade
00:52:23
rolling around, it made me think of Ed Gein again.
00:52:28
But, but yeah, but, but I can understand.
00:52:32
I know they're being influenced a little bit by it, but I can
00:52:35
see how that was just like. That would be that would be
00:52:38
because we have told, right? We have told our kids what we
00:52:43
came from. And then you asked me a
00:52:45
ridiculous question. Can someone be in the store?
00:52:49
Yeah, yeah. I think the thing with that is
00:52:51
they have to realize like when when kids hear about horrible
00:52:55
things, it's just the story to them.
00:52:57
It doesn't have any tangibility for them.
00:53:00
Just like nowadays when kids hear about 911 and, and the
00:53:05
things that we witnessed that day, the things we saw on TV,
00:53:09
seeing the buildings come down, seeing people jumping from the
00:53:13
top of a skyscraper, that's just a story to them.
00:53:17
It's kind of like, OK, I know it happened, but to them it's like
00:53:21
it's, I guess it's kind of like it's not a reality to them yet
00:53:27
once they see it, like once they watch the archival footage or
00:53:31
something like that. Like even my daughters, my
00:53:34
daughters were very young when 911 happened and they remember
00:53:37
kind of bits and pieces of it, but they never really watched
00:53:41
any of the footage online because they were still like
00:53:44
really, really young. And recently my oldest daughter
00:53:49
saw, I think it was some kind of documentary or something, and
00:53:54
she was like, I forgot how bad it was.
00:53:58
You know, it's like, you hear about those things, but then
00:54:00
when you actually see those things, it's something
00:54:03
different. So it's like, I understand why
00:54:06
his dad went off on him because he was like, yeah, we know about
00:54:10
these kinds of horrors. We know about people being
00:54:11
stolen and not making it out and this, that and other.
00:54:15
So I can understand why he was upset with Teddy.
00:54:19
But Teddy, again, at his age, he just doesn't get it.
00:54:23
Until it's something personal like a semi friend acquaintance
00:54:30
being in the sewer. I mean honestly, that's it.
00:54:32
And then, but then you put it in his head and then then we have
00:54:38
because that was, that would be horrifying to have that layup
00:54:41
next. To you, I was horrified.
00:54:43
That wasn't even. There, right?
00:54:44
And then it's rolling towards you.
00:54:46
Listen. And like, I'm like, I'm done.
00:54:49
And the the mouth is moving like I was like, I don't know who
00:54:55
dreams up this stuff. Y'all need to go to therapy.
00:54:58
They need to go to therapy because that and, and the way
00:55:03
that the the dad was kind of going off about it, he was like,
00:55:06
yeah, you need to get your head out of comic books.
00:55:08
I was like, I've read comic books before.
00:55:10
I had never had that shit happen in my life.
00:55:13
So. And, and that's the thing.
00:55:15
Teddy is sitting there, he's reading his comic books and the
00:55:18
light keeps flickering out. So he keeps reaching over.
00:55:21
And when I saw the lamp, I said, oh, this is not going to be
00:55:24
good. Like, I didn't think it was
00:55:27
going to do what it did. I just thought maybe there was
00:55:29
going to be a jump scare or something like that.
00:55:33
When he turned around and saw the faces in the lamp shade and
00:55:38
he literally, he jumps off the bed and he he runs and highs up
00:55:42
under his desk and then the lamp shade starts rolling towards
00:55:46
him. I was like, you know what?
00:55:50
I don't know if I'm gonna make it through this episode.
00:55:53
Like y'all already show me a demon baby.
00:55:56
Y'all have show me a a finger. A finger coming out of the
00:56:00
bathtub drain. Which that shouldn't have been
00:56:04
surprising to me, because it's the same thing Beverly had to
00:56:08
deal with. So like that, yeah.
00:56:10
Yeah. So that wasn't bad.
00:56:12
I'm sorry that was bad, but the. Finger coming out and just kind
00:56:17
of like searching around like hey.
00:56:19
It was more the. He won't let me that freak me
00:56:22
out. I was like, Oh no, Oh no, we, we
00:56:27
will not. And.
00:56:28
I'm more terrified of the lamp. I was like Oh my God, and and
00:56:33
and and it got him so bad that when you telling your friends,
00:56:38
you throwing up, right? Right, but but this is the thing
00:56:42
that makes them go back to Lily, because when Lily came to them
00:56:45
and said, Hey, I heard voices coming out of my bathtub.
00:56:48
There was like, no, I don't think that's right.
00:56:51
You're you're a little crazy anyway, So you know, she leaves.
00:56:55
But then now, of course, now you, you've seen, you know,
00:57:00
faces in your lamp say, oh, you know what?
00:57:01
I'm ready to believe. I was like, you know what?
00:57:04
No, but but what I love about Phil and Teddy is that's why
00:57:08
they ride or die because Teddy, the way Teddy is, Phil was like,
00:57:14
he ain't making this shit up. He ain't making it up.
00:57:17
So if he. Says that this happened to him.
00:57:20
I believe it. We should be scared.
00:57:22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:57:24
And I love that he didn't say I'm still.
00:57:26
I still don't know. These are alias no?
00:57:29
He was like if my friend said it.
00:57:32
Literally sitting here throwing up his guts.
00:57:34
Like my friend said, he's all this.
00:57:37
Waterfalling. I was like, Oh my.
00:57:39
God like, Oh yeah, but you know what, I would be too.
00:57:42
And I would not behind that. I would.
00:57:44
I would be right there throwing up my guts and and it'll be OK.
00:57:48
Y'all can believe, y'all can think what you want, but this is
00:57:51
what I saw at this point. That's when they decide, OK, we
00:57:54
got to research this. We got to see if this has
00:57:56
happened again. They go to the library and they
00:57:59
start looking it up and, you know, they, they decide to go to
00:58:06
the House of the girl who worked in the movie theater because the
00:58:11
the newspaper article says that this is the last place that he
00:58:14
was, That was the last place he was seen before he disappeared.
00:58:18
Because again, at this point, they don't have a body.
00:58:20
They're just presuming that he's dead because it's been four
00:58:23
months. No one is saying hide, hide nor
00:58:25
hair. This kid.
00:58:27
I mean, I think it's kind of premature to assume death,
00:58:31
especially you don't have any blood.
00:58:32
You don't have anybody. This kid was obviously
00:58:35
hitchhiking. I'm sure the first person who
00:58:37
drove past him probably told the police, yeah, this kid was
00:58:41
hitchhiking. You know, he could have been a
00:58:43
runaway. He could have been whatever, but
00:58:46
this is dairy. I guess they they.
00:58:48
Well, that's the other thing that made me mad is because the
00:58:51
man who was chasing this kid all over the theater and nobody
00:58:54
noticed that he was chasing this poor kid, how he chased them out
00:58:57
onto the street, but all of a sudden it's like.
00:59:01
It's the black dude. Why wasn't he the one that they
00:59:03
looked at and said, well, you were chasing him?
00:59:06
Yeah. Do you really have to?
00:59:09
I know, I'm just saying it, OK? So at first, yeah, but I will
00:59:15
say this to the I mean, the whole fact that they went to
00:59:18
Ronnie's house and she was the one who let them in the theater
00:59:21
when all of the shit like really broke loose.
00:59:24
How was no how was nowhere near there.
00:59:27
So it's kind of like, OK, you you went to the black kids
00:59:30
house. She was the one who let y'all in
00:59:33
and then all this stuff happened.
00:59:35
But. But the first kid, but Maddie
00:59:38
though, he they really should have asked the boy who was
00:59:41
chasing him, because you, you continue to chase him.
00:59:44
Yeah, when we said leave the kid.
00:59:46
Alone. So yeah, but I guess they wanted
00:59:50
to go ask the person who was closer to their age because
00:59:53
again, you are you are children and you're talking about things
00:59:57
that most adults are not going to believe you.
00:59:59
So you don't want to go to somebody who's even a semi
01:00:02
adult? Oh, no, I think she, I think she
01:00:04
means the police, like when they were investigating, they should
01:00:07
have gone to that guy because he had the biggest problem with the
01:00:10
kid. Yeah, and when he was missing on
01:00:14
he went missing. That was July 4th, I mean, not
01:00:17
July 4th, January. 4th OK Was that the date on the newspaper
01:00:21
article? OK OK.
01:00:23
But yeah. So when they go to Ronnie and
01:00:25
they asked her about it and she was like why y'all coming to me?
01:00:28
She was like, I already told the police.
01:00:29
She was like, yeah, y'all already know.
01:00:32
They they've been asking my dad questions.
01:00:35
There's suspicion. She was like get away from my
01:00:37
house. So as they're leaving, they're
01:00:41
talking amongst each other. And they said, see, we told you
01:00:43
was stupid. Nobody's going to believe the
01:00:45
story about hearing you hear and singing through the pipes.
01:00:48
And Ronnie hears this and she was like, hold.
01:00:50
Up. Hold up.
01:00:53
And they were like, what, did you hear this too?
01:00:55
She was like, yeah. So then they start talking.
01:00:57
They realize the song is from Music Man, which is what Maddie
01:01:02
was watching in the movie theater the night he
01:01:06
disappeared. So they decide they're going to
01:01:10
go to the movie theater and they're going to watch the the
01:01:13
movie. And they're like, OK, maybe
01:01:15
something in the song is going to give us a clue.
01:01:17
Something. In the song.
01:01:23
So I was reading an article today was talking about how this
01:01:29
particular episode seem like it borrowed a lot from Stranger
01:01:34
Things and then it went completely the opposite
01:01:37
direction of Stranger Things because, you know, Stranger
01:01:39
Things was also the same. You have a a boy who went
01:01:44
missing, you have his group of friends who are trying to find
01:01:47
him and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:01:51
So they go to the movie theater. She starts playing the movie.
01:01:55
Now she's up in the projector booth.
01:01:56
The other kids are down here and it's it's Teddy.
01:02:00
It's Phil, Phil's little sister Susie, because he stuck
01:02:04
babysitting. And then Lily.
01:02:06
So they're all sitting there in a row.
01:02:07
They're watching the movie. And it comes to the scene where
01:02:12
there's like this, there's this speech being made.
01:02:15
And at first, when I heard the speech, I was like, oh, this
01:02:18
kind of sounds like grown-ups talking about children because
01:02:21
it's like, yeah, you need to keep an eye on your children.
01:02:24
Is your child doing this? When when they leave your house,
01:02:27
are they doing this? And he was saying a whole bunch
01:02:29
of stuff that's outdated. So I'm not even going to try to
01:02:31
repeat what he said. But, you know, it was one of
01:02:34
those things where it's like parents talking to their
01:02:36
children. Yeah, your children are doing
01:02:37
things that that you don't know about when they're not around
01:02:41
you. And I was like, OK, so in the
01:02:46
midst of this scene, all of a sudden you see Maddie in the
01:02:50
middle holding a bundle that looks like a baby.
01:02:54
And am I am I misremembering this that the bundle was yellow?
01:03:01
Yes, OK, it was yellow. Yellow.
01:03:04
Kind of like Georgie's raincoat. Right.
01:03:06
Yeah, he's yellow, and the family that was in the car is
01:03:10
behind him. Oh, that I didn't notice.
01:03:13
Yeah, they're they're in the crowd.
01:03:14
Yeah, right behind him. So of course, the kids are all
01:03:19
sitting here looking, and they're like, oh, my God, that's
01:03:21
Maddie. How is he on the screen?
01:03:23
And Maddie appears to hear him hear them.
01:03:27
So they start calling out to him.
01:03:28
Maddie, hey, we're, we're trying to help you.
01:03:31
We're gonna help you. Come on, come on, come on.
01:03:33
Let me tell you, he starts. He starts telling them, yeah,
01:03:40
you know, I'm missing. I'm here and it's all your
01:03:43
fault. And he starts going off on them
01:03:45
basically like, Oh yeah, you guys were shitty friends, that
01:03:47
sort of thing. I'm, that's the reason why I'm
01:03:49
here, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:03:51
He looks down and he looks up and he has the Pennywise grin on
01:03:57
his face. And I was just like, OK, so this
01:04:03
is definitely a Pennywise origin story.
01:04:05
OK. Then the shit starts because the
01:04:15
little bundle that Maddie is holding opens up and it's the
01:04:20
demon baby, and the demon baby comes through the screen into
01:04:28
the movie theater. Now, if you ask me, they didn't
01:04:34
get up fast enough. No, that's why I would have left
01:04:38
when I seen Maddie in. The screen why?
01:04:42
Why are? We still sitting here.
01:04:45
It's fine. We can't save them by sin,
01:04:48
sorry. The moment he showed up on the
01:04:52
screen and he was holding something, I would have just
01:04:57
been like easing myself backwards.
01:05:02
And then you think Ronnie is safe because Ronnie is up in the
01:05:05
projector screen. Hey, Ronnie, you can turn it off
01:05:10
now. We know.
01:05:13
We know where Mattie is. Listen, but the fact that this
01:05:20
demon baby comes out of the screen, literally starts
01:05:24
attacking them. They're running.
01:05:25
They're going this direction. That direction, I think was it
01:05:28
Lily? Lily kind of freezes in place.
01:05:31
She's still sitting in the chair.
01:05:33
No Hanukkah. Hanukkah.
01:05:36
It's screen sized. It's it's the size it was on the
01:05:41
screen is huge. It's like 6 feet tall.
01:05:47
It is dynamous, yeah, horrible, but like.
01:05:51
Lily. Yeah, Lily.
01:05:52
Lily. Lily is stuck.
01:05:54
She is, she is scared. She is stuck in her seat.
01:05:58
And I'm going to be honest, that is probably, I'm going to say
01:06:00
that's one of two things that probably saved her because she
01:06:06
wasn't running. So the the the demon baby was
01:06:10
literally chasing everybody else who was running.
01:06:13
OK, it got Teddy, it got feel it it it tore one of them like.
01:06:19
Let's start in half as we watching this and I said, oh
01:06:23
this is this is you know creepy. They bout to get up and run out
01:06:28
and have to figure out like what is happening until rest in
01:06:35
peace. Teddy is the first OK?
01:06:37
Oh my God. Teddy is tossed in the air and
01:06:42
then ripped apart. At that moment in time I knew
01:06:47
that they all had been effed up and this is not the losers club
01:06:54
for this season. And I really like Teddy.
01:06:59
He's actually my favorite. I like.
01:07:02
Seal. Teddy was mine.
01:07:04
Phil was an asshole, but he didn't deserve to go out the way
01:07:07
he did. Because not his sister too.
01:07:09
Teddy gets ripped apart, Phil gets his face smushed into the
01:07:15
projector room window and then just drops.
01:07:20
Lily finally gets out of her seat and she hides on the ground
01:07:24
and she sees Susie and she tells Susie.
01:07:27
Now this is the thing that got me.
01:07:29
You're literally screaming, Susie.
01:07:32
Yeah. Bitch, you can't whisper.
01:07:36
Why are you telling her to come under the seats to you?
01:07:38
Why don't you go to her? She's a child, she's a baby.
01:07:43
You go save her. You look, you know what, in this
01:07:47
scenario, I I can't say that I'm going to be the one that's going
01:07:54
to be the hero. You have to come to me.
01:07:56
And I'm I'm saying that thing has not paid me no attention
01:07:59
right now. You need to come to me.
01:08:03
But Lily tries to get to her. She has her arm extended and
01:08:07
then all of a sudden here goes the demon baby and he's looking
01:08:10
at Lily. So I'm thinking Lily is about to
01:08:12
die. Ronnie finds a way to get out of
01:08:16
the projector room. She finds a little, I think it's
01:08:18
like she gets the little hatchet out of the emergency, the
01:08:22
emergency break glass in case of emergency thing or something.
01:08:26
And she you know, she gets she she knocks out the window, she
01:08:30
gets out, she comes downstairs, she gets Lily.
01:08:32
They run out, they close the doors and they kind of lock the
01:08:36
door and they're sitting there looking at each other trying to
01:08:39
figure out what's going on. Because Ronnie, I think she saw
01:08:44
what was going on, but I don't think her mind processed what
01:08:47
was going on. Because when Lily tells her
01:08:50
they're all dead, Ronnie's like, what the fuck are you talking
01:08:52
about? They're all dead.
01:08:54
They're all dead. And then Lily happens to realize
01:08:59
she has something in her hand. She looks down and brings her
01:09:03
arm up and she's got the front part of Susie's hand and that's
01:09:08
all she has. So of course she let us scream.
01:09:13
And I was just like, wow, y'all just killed two of the main
01:09:16
characters, or technically three if you count Maddie, because I'm
01:09:22
sure Maddie is going to be a main character throughout the
01:09:24
season. I'm sure we're probably going to
01:09:25
get some flashbacks, whatever. But it was just like, what?
01:09:28
What? What scene are y'all looking at
01:09:30
in the background? Because Michelle's face is like
01:09:34
intense right now. This.
01:09:35
Is Ronnie coming in with the hammer and she's getting Lily
01:09:40
and the demon baby is getting up and they take off running?
01:09:43
Let me tell you. Yeah, well.
01:09:45
She did that lift up and she was holding that child's hand.
01:09:49
I said that baby that was 46 or seven years old.
01:09:52
Right, right. That's what she buy the lift up
01:09:54
now. Yeah, I'm on the I'm on.
01:09:57
The and blood everywhere I. Know we don't live with the
01:10:01
children, you know, even though we know that's it's like MO go
01:10:06
through the children. Yeah.
01:10:09
It was crazy because it's like you're expecting some violence
01:10:15
from this story. You're expecting it's Pennywise.
01:10:17
It's it. We we're familiar with it.
01:10:19
We know what happens. Yeah.
01:10:23
But the way that it started and then the way that it end, like
01:10:27
the the amount of violence, like even in the original miniseries,
01:10:35
when Georgia gets his arm pulled off, we don't really actually
01:10:40
see the arm come off. You just kind of you see his arm
01:10:44
go down into the sewer. You see him pull his his arm out
01:10:48
and and the arm is gone and then he disappears.
01:10:51
Whatever. This was so visual.
01:10:57
This, this, this and this. Yeah, this.
01:11:04
It is on some different shit. So whatever he was in the IT, he
01:11:11
like got older, he towards retirement.
01:11:14
Right. This is when he is fresh new
01:11:18
look. And he's like.
01:11:20
Excited though, he's like thousands of years old, like
01:11:23
millions of years old. Like I don't know if this,
01:11:26
because it's the beginning, it's the beginning of this.
01:11:28
It's awakening and and we've seen him in the other at the end
01:11:35
when he's about to go to sleep. So he's kind of full.
01:11:39
But this right here is so some some he he different and I felt
01:11:46
some type of way at the end of this episode because you got me
01:11:50
liking these kids and I wasn't. I thought I didn't pay attention
01:11:55
to the trainer clearly because I assumed that they were part of
01:11:59
the losers club. We we thought, we thought and,
01:12:02
and I think they did that on. Purpose.
01:12:04
I really thought they were. Yeah.
01:12:06
But when they ripped that boy in half, I said I'm done.
01:12:13
Oh man. And then slammed him up against
01:12:15
the glass. I.
01:12:17
Was like and and then and then you, then you left.
01:12:19
Only thing you left was a little girl's hand.
01:12:22
She didn't. She just wanted to go get a
01:12:23
milkshake, right? She was just a baby.
01:12:27
Right, right. So.
01:12:28
And the fact that they didn't actually show Maddie die.
01:12:32
I I was like, OK, well, we know what happened to Maddie.
01:12:37
These little pacifier flew, you know?
01:12:40
Yeah, but baby, when I seen that hand, I said, oh, we in for it,
01:12:46
right? Yeah, I think you know Susie,
01:12:48
she just happened to be a casualty because she was there
01:12:51
with them. But I, I'm going to be honest,
01:12:53
even though that's Maddie on the screen and we know that he is, I
01:12:57
don't know if he's being taken over by this entity, if he is
01:13:01
this entity or whatever. I think there's still a part of
01:13:04
my actual Maddie there. I think that's the reason why
01:13:07
Lily and Ronnie, for now, are still alive, because those were
01:13:14
the two people who were friendly to him.
01:13:17
Those were the people that he would have considered friends
01:13:20
because even though Lily rebuffed his advance as a kiss,
01:13:24
she said we're friends. Like she literally told him, I'm
01:13:28
your friend, You're my friend. Ronnie helped him out.
01:13:31
You know, when when Hal was chasing him out the movie
01:13:34
theater or looking for him, she lied to protect him.
01:13:38
She was like, oh, yeah, I saw him.
01:13:39
He went that way. So I think that's the only
01:13:42
reason why those two girls are still alive, because there is
01:13:46
probably still a part of Maddie that is aware and he was like,
01:13:51
no, I'm not going to do this to them because they actually cared
01:13:56
about me in some, you know, shape, form or fashion.
01:13:59
Again, like we said. No, they got nothing to do with
01:14:03
Maddie. They use Maddie.
01:14:04
The thing about it is those boys felt more guilt, probably than
01:14:09
she did. Yeah.
01:14:11
He was getting. He was getting.
01:14:13
More he was getting. More emotion from the two of
01:14:15
them. Yeah, and then we feel.
01:14:17
Guilt because of the fact that he.
01:14:18
Disappeared if he right but that is not Maddie period.
01:14:21
That's it. But he's feeding off of it and
01:14:24
they have more guilt and they had more fear at the time.
01:14:27
Lily been through some stuff so her fear factor is what gives
01:14:32
her is something totally different.
01:14:36
I don't know. There's something about
01:14:37
watching, watching these people get ripped, ripped apart in
01:14:40
front of you. I think that that.
01:14:41
Well, she's been through that though before, so you got to
01:14:44
imagine she has imagined her day, but still, I mean,
01:14:48
witnessing it, right? But she got saved too at the end
01:14:50
'cause he was coming for he was finishing his other meal.
01:14:55
Ronnie pulled her out of there and then put the hammer through
01:14:58
the door. But ultimately they had the most
01:15:02
amount of fear when they got thrown through that screen.
01:15:04
And she did. And she also had a lucky charm.
01:15:09
Yeah, Maddie. Oh, the turtle.
01:15:11
Charm. She had the turtle.
01:15:13
Charm. That's right.
01:15:16
I forgot about that. OK.
01:15:20
And even though we're not going to, even though they never
01:15:23
established the turtle in this universe, the turtle has to be
01:15:29
something because it was, it's been in all of the movies and
01:15:32
the. Turtle iconography has it was
01:15:34
even in this show with the the bombshell, the turtle.
01:15:37
Yeah, and then she has a little turtle, but it was in, it was
01:15:40
also in the movies too. So that could be, that will be
01:15:43
her one, her one saving grace. OK.
01:15:47
Because they were so scared, they literally jumped up and
01:15:51
took off running. Yeah, and she just sat there
01:15:55
paralyzed. Like I don't even know where to
01:15:58
begin. She probably was like maybe if I
01:16:00
just sit still it won't notice. Yeah, she's still processing,
01:16:04
but they they are, they are mints.
01:16:07
He's going for that, that fear. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:12
But and and Teddy was already on edge from the lamp earlier.
01:16:16
He's still throwing up that day, remembering what was happening.
01:16:20
Yeah. But that poor Susie, I was like,
01:16:22
she didn't deserve that. Yeah, but I mean, think about
01:16:26
it. Georgie didn't deserve it
01:16:27
either. Like you say, Anthony, he just,
01:16:30
he just wanted somebody to go sell his boat with him.
01:16:33
That's all. He just wants someone to play
01:16:35
with the boat. That's it.
01:16:37
His brother George. That's all he wanted, right?
01:16:40
Where George? But yet when I say that end
01:16:44
scene fucked me up because I was like so y'all just killed half
01:16:47
of the main characters? Right.
01:16:50
That's why I was like, so well then.
01:16:52
Well, well. I guess they're not made.
01:16:54
Characters, but right, they was it, but they did such a great
01:17:00
job, even though the the guy who did it is from the movies it so
01:17:06
that's why it has the continuity and the sameness to it.
01:17:10
But they did such a good job, literally, of us caring about
01:17:14
Phil and Teddy. I really fit combo.
01:17:20
They fit in the losers club like, you know, print of like,
01:17:24
you know, the templates and all the little nerdy bull.
01:17:26
Right little. Bit you know they.
01:17:28
Fit going to do the research, you know, believing in each
01:17:31
other and Yep. Oh, that's they're gone.
01:17:38
So now we're going to have to, you know, see how Ronnie and
01:17:44
Lily deal with this moving forward.
01:17:47
And not only that, like how how do you explain that to people?
01:17:52
Like when they come to open up the theater, when you have to
01:17:57
call 911 because your friends just got torn apart?
01:18:01
Like how do you even start that conversation or at like how?
01:18:10
Yeah, how that, But like, how do you, how do you sit here and
01:18:15
talk to these kids and then you still going to be like, well, it
01:18:20
had to be this guy. So what I'm thinking is no,
01:18:25
Yeah. Like.
01:18:26
I, I, I don't, I don't even know.
01:18:27
I don't even I'm surprised Lily if the next episode she ain't
01:18:32
back at the. Yeah, I would be surprised too.
01:18:36
Yeah, Come on, check me in, please.
01:18:38
Check me. In I'll be like this is some.
01:18:41
This is too much. This is too much.
01:18:43
I've seen too much. Right, right.
01:18:47
Poor that poor girl. Oh my God.
01:18:49
But I mean, just the both of them are going to have to deal
01:18:52
with this in in very right. Yeah.
01:19:00
But on the less gruesome side of things, let's go back to Major
01:19:05
Hamlin because I know that he, I don't know how big a part he's
01:19:14
going to play in this series, but we know that his grandson
01:19:17
eventually becomes Mike Hamlin from the Losers Club and IT.
01:19:21
And he is one of the people that helps defeat Pennywise, you
01:19:25
know, 30 something year or well, 30 something 54 years down the
01:19:31
line. But we see, we see Major Hammond
01:19:34
in Chapter 1 because he's with Mike.
01:19:39
The grandfather. Yeah.
01:19:41
He's a farmer. He was, yeah, he was a farmer.
01:19:43
He was talking to him about the farming.
01:19:48
No, that's his dad. No.
01:19:51
That's his dad is dead. And his parents is dead.
01:19:54
They died in the fire. That that was in that.
01:19:59
What was the actor Glenn Thurman?
01:20:00
I think it was, yeah, it was Glenn Thurman.
01:20:03
He. Was telling him, he was telling
01:20:05
him things that he needed to do, like pretty much be a pretty
01:20:10
much be a leader and, and you got to figure out some stuff.
01:20:14
So it's probably after he retires and stuff for, you know,
01:20:18
from the military, he gets a farm and they, you know, they do
01:20:21
cattle 'cause it was owl farming.
01:20:24
But his part of the story so far is like, I'm not going to say
01:20:30
it's boring, but of course it's less bloody kind of.
01:20:34
You know, we, we do have the, the attack, you know, he does
01:20:36
get attacked by some people, which we don't really know why.
01:20:42
Supposedly he was brought to the Air Force Base in Derry because
01:20:47
he is a great pilot and they want him to fly this
01:20:50
experimental plane. And the people who break into
01:20:53
his barracks, they beat him because they want the specifics
01:20:56
on that particular plane. But I'm.
01:21:01
Like how? How do you be Russian spies that
01:21:03
don't have a Russian accent? And see, that's why I was, I
01:21:07
don't think they're Russians. I I think 1.
01:21:10
I think that little asshole racist military guy that's
01:21:15
there, I can't remember what. He was.
01:21:17
Masters of all names. Right, right, Masters.
01:21:21
I think he was probably one of them and then it might have been
01:21:25
some other ones who don't like the fact that there is a black
01:21:28
major that's outranking them and calling the shots.
01:21:33
But I was like, don't none of y'all have an accent?
01:21:37
All I know is if they hadn't hit him with that that metal pipe,
01:21:41
he was going to whip some ass he.
01:21:43
Was going. To take him down he was getting.
01:21:45
Ready to RIP? It out.
01:21:47
Thank you. And I like Russo.
01:21:49
I like Russo. Russo came in out of nowhere.
01:21:51
He came in spider monkey on right EDI love it.
01:21:55
Right. But I'm kind of curious as to
01:21:58
like what his part of the story in all of this is going to be,
01:22:02
aside from, you know, being the way that Mike eventually ends up
01:22:07
in dairy. But it's kind of like, OK, so
01:22:10
you have this this major that's on a military base.
01:22:14
And of course, they've already shown us that there's, you know,
01:22:16
a section of the military base that's doing some classified
01:22:20
experiments. So I don't know if that's going
01:22:23
to have anything to do with the Pennywise stuff or if it's going
01:22:27
to have something to do with something else.
01:22:29
But it's kind of like I'm, I'm curious, but not overly curious
01:22:36
about his part of the story. But again, this is only the
01:22:39
first episode. I'm but I'm just kind of like,
01:22:44
OK, I maybe I don't need to know this part of the story, but I
01:22:49
mean, like, like we say, y'all killed off half the main
01:22:52
character. So it's not like we can get more
01:22:55
of that unless you're going to give us some, some back story on
01:22:58
these characters, which at this point is kind of like, I don't
01:23:01
even know if we need like, I don't, I don't know, just where
01:23:08
do you go from here with these, with these characters?
01:23:11
Because you got the 2 little girls who who survived and who
01:23:14
are going to have to deal with the aftermath of all of this.
01:23:21
I don't know. But I guess in some ways we have
01:23:24
to have little the the the we have to have him so that we can
01:23:30
have will so that we can have Mike.
01:23:33
And so there has to be something they're going to have to drum up
01:23:35
something good for him to make it, you know, because otherwise
01:23:40
it's all about the kids and the grown-ups don't really matter.
01:23:44
And and a lot of these cases. But I wonder if if him being
01:23:49
part of the story is one of the reasons why Mike ended up
01:23:52
staying in Derry. And, you know, he became like,
01:23:56
what was he was a library, but he was also the the historian.
01:23:59
He was the one that kind of kept track of all of this stuff and
01:24:03
kind of tracked Pennywise and and the disappearances and
01:24:07
stuff. I wonder if it has something to
01:24:08
do with whatever happens to Major Hamlin in this time period
01:24:14
in 1962 that kind of causes him to have that make that decision
01:24:20
Because I'm sorry, would be like, you know what?
01:24:22
We not even from dairy. I'm leaving.
01:24:26
Well, how about this? We know, we know Major Hanlon's
01:24:29
family is coming, so we know Mike's dad is probably going to
01:24:33
be a kid. What if he like, joins whatever
01:24:39
the the new losers club is because we don't really know
01:24:43
anything about him other than the fact that he and his wife
01:24:47
died in the fire. What if we learn more about his
01:24:50
part in in the whole thing? Yeah.
01:24:56
And maybe there's a reason why they he died in the fire.
01:25:00
Could be. Yeah, and, and Major Handling's
01:25:06
story is probably like another IT story, but a different, a
01:25:12
different track, like it's something totally different.
01:25:16
Because it's something secret. Yeah, on that they.
01:25:20
They definitely it definitely effects.
01:25:23
Adults. May be different than how it
01:25:25
does the kids, but definitely makes adults because if I
01:25:28
remember correctly, even though they really don't talk about it
01:25:31
as much, but like there's the the in the beginning of the
01:25:34
book, there's the gay character that gets killed.
01:25:36
He gets murdered in the beginning of the book.
01:25:39
And then I think they kind of hit on it in the in the new
01:25:42
movies about. The second one.
01:25:44
The second one. You know so.
01:25:47
Almost like the adults walk around with like a fog or a haze
01:25:51
or a cloud. Yeah, yeah.
01:25:54
Yeah, but no, yeah, 'cause that was the first.
01:25:56
That was a character that dies in the Part 2.
01:25:59
OK. Yeah, I need to go back and
01:26:01
rewatch those two movies. Because he had, he had a lot.
01:26:04
I mean, it was a lot of fear because they were getting beat
01:26:06
up on. Yeah, they were getting attacked
01:26:09
by the village idiots. Yeah, it was right.
01:26:13
Yeah. So they definitely.
01:26:16
He definitely goes after whoever you can get the fear from, but
01:26:18
they don't have a separate like yeah he's a special hell for the
01:26:23
children. Yeah.
01:26:25
And and that's the thing, I'm like, what?
01:26:27
So and I understand it's probably because he is.
01:26:34
I think the fear is greater because I think it's children.
01:26:38
Our imagination is not limited as adult and you know, like
01:26:45
adults are. So we have, as children, we have
01:26:47
the potential to believe in more, you know, So like, if we
01:26:51
see something weird, we're not going to question it.
01:26:54
Like an adult will probably see something like Pennywise
01:26:56
standing there with a balloon and be like, I'm imagining that.
01:27:00
And when they turn around and look, it's gone because they
01:27:02
don't automatically get scared or they don't automatically
01:27:05
assume that that's something that's real, you know?
01:27:08
And maybe that's why he feeds off the children, because the
01:27:11
children, their imaginations are so open.
01:27:17
Yeah, yeah. He can be like, yeah, I can
01:27:18
literally show them or do anything to them, and they're
01:27:21
going to believe it. And they're going to, you know,
01:27:23
they're going to get scared. And yes, that's what I want.
01:27:27
Yeah, but he definitely knew what he was doing when he chose
01:27:30
the clown persona. Honey, no.
01:27:36
Listen and the. But I think King King in
01:27:39
interviews has said that was why he had it go after children, is
01:27:43
because their fear is much more powerful and much more pure than
01:27:49
adult fear. OK, yeah, but if you stumble
01:27:53
upon an adult with a bunch of fear, I mean, hey, it's like,
01:27:56
you know, I don't know, side snack.
01:27:58
Yeah, but I want a steak, and that's the kids.
01:28:02
Yeah. Because they have a high rate of
01:28:04
missing children in their area. Right.
01:28:07
And that's the one thing like. Yeah, he said it.
01:28:11
Yeah, but then he said it in the in Part 1 is the kids and
01:28:17
adults. It's just kids is a higher
01:28:19
number, but the whole adult and kid number is higher than the
01:28:23
national average. Yeah, yeah.
01:28:27
And people tend to forget that their kids and adults missing.
01:28:31
And that's what I was going to say.
01:28:32
It's something about and, and of course we know dairy is like the
01:28:37
main setting for most of his stories, but my whole thing is
01:28:41
if I'm living in dairy and all these children, all this weird
01:28:46
shit is happening. Yeah.
01:28:48
I'm leaving, I'm I'm moving. So I'm just kind of wondering I.
01:28:52
Well, it's not necessarily dairy.
01:28:53
It's it's the area of Maine because there's Jerusalem's lot
01:28:58
dairy and then there's. He's talking about dairy, the
01:29:02
numbers for dairy. But the issue is that it does
01:29:08
have a spell over the area, so people don't leave and they're
01:29:14
kind of numb to what is happening because then it stops
01:29:18
and then they're fine and then it happens.
01:29:21
Yeah, so then and then another generation is involved.
01:29:25
So they don't because someone did a deep dive on like it is,
01:29:29
because of just the power IT has.
01:29:33
The losers from the Losers Club left, but they're different.
01:29:39
Yeah, Whatever it is about them made them.
01:29:42
Different because they faced them.
01:29:44
Yeah, and they were able to leave lost, still lost memory of
01:29:48
what happened, but they all end up being successful too.
01:29:52
Yeah, yeah. But then when they came back it
01:29:55
it kind of reins that that memory start reinserted
01:29:58
themselves and so that fear kind of started.
01:30:01
Off, but everybody else is like, just drugged.
01:30:04
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I do need to go back and
01:30:08
reread those books. It's been a while since I've
01:30:11
read it. I.
01:30:13
Think I do want to reread it too.
01:30:14
Gosh, it's been like, maybe, I don't know, maybe 20 years since
01:30:17
I picked up that book. But if you do, you find Juniper
01:30:20
Hill shows up in a lot of books. Yes, because wasn't oh, oh, what
01:30:31
was his name? The guy who?
01:30:33
The guy who bullied the Losers Club?
01:30:35
The one Wasn't he at Junior Juniper Hill too?
01:30:38
Yeah, he was. He was in Juniper Hill.
01:30:42
But it was mentioned. It was mentioned in the Dark
01:30:44
Half. It was mentioned in the dead
01:30:46
zone. It was mentioned in.
01:30:50
I won't say Rose. Was it Rose, Madden, whatever.
01:30:54
Yeah, it showed Gerald's Game. It was in Gerald's Game.
01:30:57
Juniper Hill shows up in the live and stuff.
01:30:59
OK, OK, yeah, so like I said, I need to go back and reread a lot
01:31:05
of his stuff because it's been years.
01:31:06
Because I got to a point, I think we we've had this
01:31:09
conversation before. As I've gotten older, I kind of
01:31:13
strayed away from horror because I my imagination is a little too
01:31:17
overactive and I just got to a point where I just couldn't deal
01:31:21
with it. But now I'm kind of slowly
01:31:23
coming back into it, so. No, you just realized what we've
01:31:27
been telling you the last year. So you are a whore person?
01:31:31
Right. But I also think, you know what,
01:31:32
I think it was for you, Hanukkah, you had babies.
01:31:35
You know what? And that could be it.
01:31:37
Because that happened for my sister.
01:31:38
My sister was obsessed with horror movies like my whole like
01:31:42
youth and she I, she I was upset, she was upset.
01:31:44
And as soon as she started having kids, she could not watch
01:31:47
scary stuff anymore because something about that nurturer,
01:31:50
you know, her babies, it just made her uncle.
01:31:52
She couldn't watch that stuff anymore.
01:31:54
And then after that after and they grew up and she was like, I
01:31:57
can kick them in a bus and get them out of my house.
01:32:00
She's back to. You know, watching whatever now
01:32:02
and that could be it because especially like especially my
01:32:05
oldest daughter, she is a she's a big hard person, but all three
01:32:09
of them love hard stuff. So like they would literally be
01:32:12
like, mom, you got to come sit down and watch this with us.
01:32:14
And I'm like, I don't know if I can do that, But it's like just
01:32:18
in the last, I would say maybe two or three years, maybe four
01:32:21
years. I'm kind of I started dipping my
01:32:23
toe. Back, but you know what it
01:32:25
started with. I don't understand why she say
01:32:27
dipping toe. We should be watching Walking
01:32:29
Dead for 30 goddamns. Now.
01:32:34
Walking Dead, Walking Dead, Interview with the Vampire, All
01:32:38
the vampire, right Vampire Diaries, while our vampires is
01:32:44
whore. I don't care what you say,
01:32:47
whether it's sparkly or not, it's still whore.
01:32:51
OK, you have your whore that falls into like different
01:32:56
categories. Like I can watch vampires, I can
01:32:58
watch zombies. Don't ask me to watch a Friday
01:33:01
the 13th or a a A Nightmare on Elm.
01:33:04
Like I think I've watched one Nightmare on Elm Street and that
01:33:07
was enough for me. I can't, I can't do it.
01:33:10
I can't. I can't fuck with Freddy Krueger
01:33:11
like that. I just I can't, cannot do it.
01:33:15
So yeah, he. He's the same.
01:33:17
He's the same during species as it female people's fear.
01:33:22
Right. And I was going to bring that up
01:33:23
earlier is that's exactly what he that was what his driving
01:33:27
force was. He fed off their fear.
01:33:29
Yeah. And he talks about that
01:33:30
specifically in dream. I was just watching dream
01:33:33
warriors the other day and he specifically says that the the
01:33:36
fears taste so good in you. That's why I'm coming, you know,
01:33:40
And I'm just like. Man, how do you fight that?
01:33:43
Yeah, no. Oh, I think I can deal with
01:33:48
Pennywise because I, again, I read that book when I was 16, so
01:33:52
I'm familiar with that type of I'm, I'm familiar with
01:33:57
Pennywise. But like I said, even the the
01:34:00
newer verses of it, it took me two years before I watched them.
01:34:03
And then I was just like, OK, I'm gonna sit down and I'm gonna
01:34:06
watch this and it's going to be OK.
01:34:08
And then I turned it on and I was like, I don't know if I'm
01:34:11
ready for this. Like I was good.
01:34:14
I mean. Did that Naruto run through the
01:34:16
through the water in the basement?
01:34:18
When I say yeah. Like the first.
01:34:21
One on my couch and pause the TVIII was like I can't I can't.
01:34:27
It took me 30 minutes to turn that, to turn it back on so I
01:34:31
can finish it because that run and then you see him doing the
01:34:34
same run in one of the trailers for this series.
01:34:37
I was like. Yeah.
01:34:39
Yeah, Part 1. Yeah, I remember seeing it's,
01:34:43
it's funny because we were actually, we're on a a cruise
01:34:46
ship, one of the few that actually has a movie theater on.
01:34:50
And I was like, OK, you know, I mean, the mini series scared me.
01:34:56
It really did. And you know, I hate clowns.
01:34:59
However, Part 2 helped because when I found out that it was
01:35:03
just a spider alien I was good. I was like this is what I'm
01:35:10
scared of. All the stuff before is creepy.
01:35:14
It does help it. It did help and I was like OK I
01:35:17
was able to. It took a week to go back to
01:35:20
sleep. But when the the newest movies
01:35:24
came out, that first one, I was like, OK, I already know
01:35:27
Georgie, you know arm. But when we saw the teeth come
01:35:31
out and no, you actually see him bite his arm and then the little
01:35:35
boy is literally crawling in the rain with the blood coming from
01:35:39
his arm and you just steady reaching out and RIP his ass
01:35:42
back in. I was like, OK, we we know this
01:35:44
is on some different type of shit.
01:35:45
Some. Different type of shit and then
01:35:49
the whole thing in the house. This is different.
01:35:51
With, with, with them in the house and yeah, yeah, yeah,
01:35:56
it's. But it's different watching it.
01:36:01
Yeah. But watching it this week again,
01:36:03
I was just like, it wasn't bad. It was just funny because I'm
01:36:06
like, come on, kids just don't go that way.
01:36:11
You see what the house looks like.
01:36:14
I. You go in there, go.
01:36:19
In I make Pennywise like, dude, like, come at me, like smiling.
01:36:24
First you look creepy and then you will go.
01:36:28
No, come, come nice. Come like, hey, yeah.
01:36:32
You know, he's a sweet, sweet little kid.
01:36:35
Can I help? You the Tim Curry way, you you
01:36:37
come sweet and nice and funny. And then the did.
01:36:40
You just say sweet. Yeah, Tim, get the key.
01:36:45
Tim Curry. Was nice you came it was a.
01:36:47
Balloon. Well, you came with the red.
01:36:49
First of all, you had me running, running from a leopard.
01:36:53
And then I get far from the house.
01:36:55
And then you got a bunch of red balloons come up and then you go
01:36:58
to the And then you want to smile.
01:37:00
No, you smile 1st and then look like I need to run.
01:37:06
But yeah. And I'm sorry, who got it worse?
01:37:12
Beth got it worse. I'm sorry.
01:37:14
Bev got it worse. And I can't think of his name,
01:37:16
the one that died. Stan.
01:37:20
Stan 'cause he his, he, he was eating.
01:37:25
Oh, and we mentioned it. Stan he.
01:37:26
Still had the scars when he was older on his face from being
01:37:30
right 'cause it had his whole face was in its mouth.
01:37:35
OK, I'm just saying Stan is. So he needed therapy.
01:37:41
Teddy's nephew. Right.
01:37:42
Yep. Yeah, that's, yeah, that's.
01:37:44
He's the He's the son of Teddy's brother.
01:37:47
Right. Yeah, so it hit that household
01:37:50
like twice. Yeah, yeah.
01:37:53
It's a year, so. 'Cause they already had.
01:37:55
Trauma. Yeah.
01:37:57
Mm Hmm Yep 'cause he killed, he killed 1 and got close to
01:38:03
killing the second one and then Stan just couldn't deal with it.
01:38:06
Yeah, man was like, oh, So what you're saying is he's back?
01:38:09
OK, good. I'm going die now.
01:38:10
Faye, try. Yeah, right.
01:38:13
He was like, yeah, I'm gonna let y'all.
01:38:14
Handle this cause but I I do have oh this is when we stopped
01:38:18
recording. I had some plot holes on that
01:38:20
one but dealing with staying but maybe I can help me fix those.
01:38:24
Oh, OK. Yeah, we'll talk about that.
01:38:26
But OK. So welcome to dairy episode one
01:38:32
there. You go.
01:38:33
Welcome. Very strong start.
01:38:36
Welcome. I don't know if welcome is the
01:38:41
right word, but I guess we hear now.
01:38:43
So we hear now, and I hate. I hate when the major was saying
01:38:48
Oh yeah I'm getting that a house in town for my family and I'm
01:38:53
thinking don't do it. Stay on the base.
01:38:55
Stay on base. But I don't know, because we
01:38:58
don't know what's in that secret.
01:39:00
We we don't know what's in that secret, Baron.
01:39:02
I don't. Care, but we know what's in the
01:39:04
city. Yeah.
01:39:04
So stay on base, stay on the base.
01:39:07
So is this where you, this is really where you want to stay,
01:39:10
brother, right? Where you want to stay?
01:39:13
I don't think it's where you want to stay.
01:39:16
Like I, I don't know who's I and, and, and I guess The thing
01:39:22
is, like you said, people must be like living in a fog or
01:39:28
whatever because nobody is saying, yeah, we got some weird
01:39:32
shit happening around here. Like OK.
01:39:37
That's the whole point it has. It has its claws into the people
01:39:43
of the area. Yep.
01:39:45
Because when he was in the Jeep when they first picked him up,
01:39:47
the guy was like, he told him he was staying And the guy was
01:39:49
like, oh, well, dairy's the, you know, the perfect place.
01:39:53
You love dairy. And I'm like.
01:39:55
Yeah, he's, what did he say? He said, I think my wife is
01:39:59
looking forward to a little bit of normal.
01:40:01
He said, oh, but if you're looking for normal, you're going
01:40:04
to love it In dairy. I was like, famous.
01:40:06
You won't. You're going to love dairy.
01:40:11
Like. Less truthful words have.
01:40:14
Never been spoken let's yeah see, but I think this series is
01:40:23
going for six episodes in this first season.
01:40:25
I do not I don't know if they're renewed for a second season yet.
01:40:31
I don't know if we need a second season, just depends on what
01:40:34
they do with this first season because I mean, we already know
01:40:39
how the story ends. It's just right now we're
01:40:42
building up to get to that point.
01:40:46
So I don't know if we'll at at some point in this series meet
01:40:50
the newer lose losers club or the, the, the generation in
01:40:55
between this generation and the losers club.
01:40:58
But. I think I, I think they said
01:41:02
they're thinking about going backwards.
01:41:04
Backwards. Yeah, they're.
01:41:05
Going backwards and. I thought there's something
01:41:07
about. That they're going to.
01:41:08
Go backwards list of which season, which time period is
01:41:11
going. To come.
01:41:12
Yeah, all those, all those side stories and Lord stories from
01:41:16
the book, they're going to. 19. 27 or something, like when he
01:41:20
when he first got the clown persona, it's like like in like
01:41:25
way back and when they had like a travelling thing or something.
01:41:29
Yeah, they had that on this. See that somewhere?
01:41:31
I'm gonna have to look. Look that up and then we can.
01:41:34
So if they, if they do, yeah, if they do that, that would be I, I
01:41:38
would be down for that. Heck yeah.
01:41:41
I would be down. For children, let's.
01:41:43
Go and plus, it's something different, like when when have
01:41:45
you seen the series do something like that where they just go
01:41:48
backwards? Yellowstone.
01:41:50
Besides. They're separate series, not the
01:41:55
same series. Those are all separate series,
01:41:58
aren't? They they're the same.
01:41:59
It's the same family. Are those the same family?
01:42:01
But it's not the same show. It's different shows.
01:42:06
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Anthony, OK, I do what you're
01:42:08
saying. It's called Yellowstone 1923.
01:42:12
It's called Yellowstone 18. It's.
01:42:14
Not the same show. Oh.
01:42:16
OK, I get what you're saying, but yeah, because you know, the
01:42:22
we know that Pennywise makes his appearance every 27 years.
01:42:27
So and and I know that in the original miniseries, they kind
01:42:34
of went back and they told us about the different like
01:42:37
tragedies. Like I know that there is a if
01:42:39
I'm not mistaken, there was a factory fire that killed like 80
01:42:42
something kids, 100 and something people all together.
01:42:46
And then there was another large tragedy.
01:42:51
There was a a gang massacre. Yes, yes, there was the black
01:42:57
spot, the gang master, the Easter egg hunt tragedy.
01:43:03
So they're probably going to touch on all of those so that
01:43:05
they're going to do that That's that's fine that that would be
01:43:08
great. And then that would also give me
01:43:10
incentive just to kind of go back and reread the book just to
01:43:14
kind of re familiarize myself with the story.
01:43:17
But I, as much as I hate that the kids are dying, I, I'm
01:43:23
actually enjoying the first episode, you know, and I just,
01:43:29
it's, it's making me apprehensive for what's coming
01:43:34
next. Like, are you going to introduce
01:43:36
us to more children that we're going to watch die?
01:43:41
And what kind of trauma are you going to continue to take Lily
01:43:45
and Ronnie on from this point? So I don't know you guys have
01:43:53
any final thoughts about Welcome to Dairy Episode 1?
01:43:58
I I would say it lived up to expectations.
01:44:02
So, yeah, yeah. That's a good way to say it, and
01:44:05
that's a good way to say it. And I don't think we need to say
01:44:09
anything else on that note. That is it for our show.
