00:00:25
What's up hybrids? Welcome back to another episode

00:00:28
of the Phantom Hybrid Podcast. This is Hanukkah and I am here

00:00:31
with Anthony and Dina and we are discussing episode 5 of It's

00:00:36
Welcome to Dairy. And Anthony, you said you got

00:00:39
thoughts. OK, All right.

00:00:42
So first, first thought, first thought, first thought, how we

00:00:47
forget about Nurse curse like we're trying to figure out the

00:00:50
available available women and and wait, who else?

00:00:57
How do you think about her? We've well, because I think, I

00:01:01
think it's because we thought, all of us kind of had the

00:01:04
feeling we were like something ain't right about her, but we

00:01:06
were just thinking the wrong. Kind of.

00:01:07
We were thinking the wrong kind of something, but something

00:01:11
definitely wasn't right. Where is wrong?

00:01:13
Something we wrong with something?

00:01:15
Did we really know? I don't feel like we did.

00:01:18
We know her last name. And then did we think anything

00:01:22
about 'cause he Kirsch is the, the, the, the store guy, right?

00:01:27
The guy that was like, you know, he offered to help her get stuff

00:01:31
off the shelves in the other episode, Lily.

00:01:34
Oh. Oh wait, the store guy, 'cause

00:01:37
that's where he was, Mr. Curry. I don't I don't know, but I

00:01:42
don't think it was him. But the but the the crazy thing

00:01:45
about her is like, and throughout the entire episode,

00:01:51
like they were throwing us little clues.

00:01:53
I didn't catch none. I wasn't paying any attention

00:01:55
because I was so focused on the fact that Maddie showed back up.

00:01:58
So it's like when Lily went to go see her at the house and the

00:02:02
husband came out and he was, of course, menacing.

00:02:04
And where's my steak? Don't you overcook.

00:02:07
Nothing about oh, no, I can't say who she is because of who

00:02:11
her husband. Nothing about that click, even

00:02:15
when he was in the backseat of the car.

00:02:18
It still didn't click. No, because they kept focusing

00:02:21
on her hands. Her hands were steady.

00:02:24
If this was somebody she was scared of, her hands would have

00:02:27
been shaken. I missed all the context clues

00:02:31
with this one because when they got out the car and they were

00:02:34
looking at each other, I was like, oh, so And then something

00:02:36
clicked right before they grabbed each other.

00:02:38
I was like, oh. No, as soon as soon as she got

00:02:44
in the car I said God damn it is her because I was like he in the

00:02:51
back seat. I told him he in the back seat

00:02:53
and she was like OK and damn it he was in the backseat.

00:02:57
Soon as I saw she had a husband I knew it was her because we was

00:03:00
trying to figure out who was married.

00:03:01
A girl didn't think who was married.

00:03:03
Soon as I said she had a husband, I said oh.

00:03:05
I wasn't even thinking about it at my point.

00:03:08
Because you know what? I'm focused, OK?

00:03:10
So I'm trying to find the connection between because in

00:03:14
this universe, in a movie, Beverly goes to see Miss Kirsch

00:03:19
and that's who it is pretending to be or who it is in the

00:03:24
apartment that attacks, that's Miss Kirsch.

00:03:30
That makes sense. Because I've been trying to

00:03:32
feed, I've been trying to put her with Pennywise this whole

00:03:37
time and I wouldn't even thinking about always.

00:03:40
Her. We weren't thinking about Grogan

00:03:42
at that point because we were like, OK, he on his way to

00:03:45
Shawshank. Lily is trying to you know, Lily

00:03:47
is trying to get some help. I'm trying to figure out the

00:03:49
connection between her and Pennywise and then I'm looking

00:03:52
I'm like that she maybe she is Pennywise and then because but I

00:03:56
wasn't thinking about none of that other stuff.

00:03:58
I was like God damn. Like literally they right before

00:04:01
they grabbed each other the light bulb went off in my head.

00:04:04
I was like, oh Hanukkah, you missed all the context clues in

00:04:07
this one. And the second thing, Speaking

00:04:11
of contest clues, them kids is fucking gullible because I saw

00:04:17
that hand. I said come on guys as.

00:04:20
Soon as I heard the cop, I was like, if that's Maddie, man, I'm

00:04:23
running. The thing that really got me

00:04:25
because I was like, OK, did he really like?

00:04:27
I don't know what it was with this episode.

00:04:30
I was trying to believe all the stuff, but when Maddie came out,

00:04:35
when that mother fucker was paler than a piece of paper, I

00:04:38
said something right about him. Something is not right about

00:04:41
him. Was like, I understand you've

00:04:43
been in the sewers, but boy were you drinking the sewer water?

00:04:46
Well, technically speaking he was, but was like, you look ill

00:04:51
boy, I'm saying. I say, y'all, he he don't leave

00:04:56
leftovers. He just.

00:04:57
Don't. And you finally get out of the

00:05:01
sewer and you're like, don't tell nobody.

00:05:04
I don't want to go home to my dad.

00:05:06
At this point you really your dad is worse than the sewer.

00:05:10
That's what I I said. I said I want to know.

00:05:13
Like we still need to get some Maddie back story because I want

00:05:16
to know exactly how bad your dad was that you would like.

00:05:19
I'd rather go back to the store sewers than him.

00:05:22
Because we got to think about it.

00:05:24
Pennywise gets into their minds so he he has their memories.

00:05:27
He knows what he knows what their fears are.

00:05:31
This boy's dad scared him so much he ran away or he tried to

00:05:36
run away. Lily, the boy stuck his fingers

00:05:41
through the drain pipe. He is gone, Gone, gone, gone.

00:05:49
Lily and she holding on. They holding on to a little bit

00:05:52
of hope. Yeah, he gone.

00:05:55
But Susan, the the hand came like this.

00:05:58
I saw he going to pretend to be mad but they they don't no they

00:06:03
so gullible. They are and they were.

00:06:05
So your. Children, they had to have hope.

00:06:08
They were trying to look. They were trying to find a way

00:06:10
to defeat him. Mars is now on board.

00:06:14
Did you say hope? Did you say hope?

00:06:17
Don't you do it? Don't you?

00:06:18
Do it, don't you Do It is a place where dreams go to hope.

00:06:26
I know you're so chilling. I said it, but Oh my SO.

00:06:32
Those are highlights. Oh, third highlight.

00:06:35
What's in the box? Don't open the box.

00:06:38
I'm I'm curious, I need to know. Well, I can well you if if I'm

00:06:44
wrong or not, if I'm right, if it's the same as in the book

00:06:49
Dick in in in in the signing, Dick tells Daniel that he tells

00:06:57
him to create a box to put the spirits in that he was saying

00:07:03
and Dick put his trauma the the abuse that he suffered.

00:07:10
I. Kind of figured.

00:07:12
That's what it was because he was afraid that it would

00:07:14
overwhelm him. So he put in, he put that trauma

00:07:19
the the sexual abuse, he put all that in the box.

00:07:23
I was wondering, I couldn't remember what the what the

00:07:28
significance was. I couldn't remember.

00:07:29
So that makes a lot of sense. Yeah.

00:07:32
Because that's so online, someone was like, oh, he put the

00:07:35
spirit of his grandfather in there.

00:07:36
If they're doing it different than the book, OK.

00:07:40
But if they're going with the book, it's his trauma.

00:07:42
My first thought was it was his ability to see the dead.

00:07:46
He stuffed that power in there because he didn't want to see

00:07:48
him. Yeah, man.

00:07:52
Because you know, when he came out, the first person he saw was

00:07:56
poor Paul. Oh my God.

00:07:59
That, that's number four. Sad.

00:08:02
Boys, But then I tell y'all, Polly was going to die.

00:08:05
Did you say Polly was going to die?

00:08:07
I didn't think it was going to be in that way.

00:08:10
So those are my 4 highlights. OK, gotcha.

00:08:15
What about you, Dana? So one of my things I, I, I

00:08:21
actually kind of like in this episode was Marge just coming

00:08:26
straight with Lily and just being like, I'm sorry, I'm

00:08:29
sorry, I didn't believe you. This is crazy.

00:08:32
And I told them, you know, whatever they needed to hear so

00:08:35
they wouldn't blame you, even though she knows that people

00:08:37
won't still blame her. But like she immediately was

00:08:40
like, OK, this is messed up. This is what my friend been

00:08:44
going through. I didn't get my shit together.

00:08:46
And so I like that she, I mean, it was a traumatic thing she had

00:08:49
to go through to get there, but it wasn't one of those things

00:08:52
where like she needed to, you know, fake, she need to figure

00:08:56
stuff out or she need to be mad at somebody or whatever.

00:08:59
She just immediately was like, sis, you was right.

00:09:01
You ain't crazy. And what can I do to help?

00:09:05
Right. And I was like, OK, Marge, you

00:09:07
OK? You got this?

00:09:08
You got. And I thought it was cute to

00:09:09
her. And Rich was holding hands.

00:09:11
It was cute. The other thing I really, really

00:09:15
loved is, and I can't think of her name, Miss.

00:09:19
Was it bro? Was it Rose?

00:09:20
Is it Auntie? Yes, auntie came in there

00:09:23
telling her boy what he needed to do and was like, you know

00:09:27
what, just baby you, you, you got the power here, you know,

00:09:31
and I like that. And even when he was like speak

00:09:33
English, which, oh, let me just tell you, my skin was crawling.

00:09:37
I'm like, OK, white man telling the natives who belong here to

00:09:42
speak English. Well, I wanted to snap.

00:09:44
I was like, it's ATV show girl. It's ATVI know, but I love that

00:09:48
scene because I like I really love how they were communicating

00:09:52
how she was giving him a lowdown without, you know, them even

00:09:54
figuring it out. I thought that was really a good

00:09:57
thing. What else?

00:10:00
I actually I love that. Oh boy, came out there and

00:10:08
started shooting and our girl who like to be in the middle of

00:10:11
everything, got a little little fear in her dropping down on the

00:10:16
ground. Like OK, you see, everything

00:10:18
ain't coaster. Yeah, that was feeling Susie's

00:10:20
dad. Yeah.

00:10:22
Yeah, she saw Penny Wise, you know, iteration Penny Wise and

00:10:26
and yeah, she saw that. And so I was like, now are you

00:10:30
going to stick? Are you going to calm down and

00:10:32
mind your business for a little bit, sis?

00:10:33
Because I, I feel like you need to do that.

00:10:35
Your son is in the sewer right now because you don't know where

00:10:38
the hell yet. So I I kind of like that scene

00:10:40
too. And they are also like right

00:10:45
after that, your husband comes in.

00:10:46
He was like, OK, look what I'm about to tell you.

00:10:49
Going to sound just a little bit crazy, but I need you to believe

00:10:52
me because we got to get the hell.

00:10:54
Out Now what? What was funny was he went the

00:10:56
shot, you let us move, he said Hold up, hold up.

00:10:59
You're supposed to move on to the base.

00:11:01
I said oh base, I never told. You to move to there.

00:11:04
You wanted to have a normal. Life.

00:11:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's on you, partner, that's

00:11:11
on you. Right, I mean, he could have

00:11:13
still warned him when he said he wanted to move, but I guess in

00:11:17
the guys thoughts he was probably thinking like well

00:11:20
maybe they'll be OK, whatever, no big deal 'cause it doesn't

00:11:25
clearly doesn't affect every child, right.

00:11:27
Like so you know, he might have thought they would have been all

00:11:29
right, but. Also handling wasn't on the

00:11:32
team, he wasn't on the quote UN quote on the team at that point

00:11:35
yet that's true. So it's like, how much do you

00:11:38
trust him with to say, I don't think it's a good idea for y'all

00:11:43
to stay in town because immediately he's going to want

00:11:45
to know why and why you don't have.

00:11:47
And he might change his mind. He black.

00:11:49
Well, you know what? We just not going to move there.

00:11:52
Deuce says yeah, right. Yeah, he right.

00:11:55
He might Black. Well, if you don't want me to

00:11:56
move, I have to stay on base. Nah, that's alright.

00:12:00
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

00:12:04
It's There's a lot of good stuff in this episode though.

00:12:06
It was so for me. I like being right.

00:12:11
I like the fact that Pennywise basically told Lily, yeah,

00:12:15
you're the one that's bringing everybody to me because you're

00:12:18
such a good friend. Like like you are bringing the

00:12:21
buffet to the sewers. I like you.

00:12:24
I'm going to keep you. I'm going to keep you around up

00:12:26
until he start running towards her and again, y'all and we get

00:12:33
him doing the run, we get him as Charlotte doing her.

00:12:38
I'm gonna need you. We don't need to have a quota of

00:12:41
two of these runs every episode and y'all have done this for the

00:12:44
last three episodes. I'm gonna need y'all to quit.

00:12:46
I'm gonna need you to quit. But the the effects, the

00:12:54
practical effects those see job, whatever it is that they are

00:12:57
doing with his face. Yeah.

00:12:59
When he started running towards Lily with his mouth open and the

00:13:05
light catches him and his eye does that little jump, I felt I

00:13:10
was like this is supposed to be scary.

00:13:12
I was cracking up cuz his eye did that jump.

00:13:14
Like seriously, right now, right now, Just when I'm about to have

00:13:21
a snack right now. The good one.

00:13:24
Right and then he just kind of stopped that.

00:13:26
I twitches. He looks down like fuck.

00:13:30
He starts backing up and Lily is sitting there looking like you

00:13:35
scared of a little light. Oh OK, we got this.

00:13:38
But I I will say this, I got to give it to my girl Lily.

00:13:43
She was being brave because when I say her friends took tail and

00:13:47
ran and I know that the separation was probably Penny

00:13:51
Wise's design because like my daughter was watching the

00:13:54
episode with me. She said how did she get so

00:13:57
lost? She literally was right behind

00:13:59
them when she fell. And I'm like he's been doing

00:14:02
that the whole episode because even with the army guys, y'all

00:14:06
just right there. It's not like y'all had a whole

00:14:08
bunch of directions to go to because y'all were all trying to

00:14:11
stay. Same way, yeah.

00:14:13
Together and he separated y'all into what, 123 different groups?

00:14:18
Yeah, and. And he teleported.

00:14:20
Dick activated too. He told him somewhere.

00:14:25
I didn't know he could do that. I didn't know he could.

00:14:28
I don't. Know if.

00:14:29
He, I don't know if he actually did that or if that was just in

00:14:32
Dick's mind. Yeah, but he totally

00:14:34
disappeared. Like that's true.

00:14:37
The only thing I can think of is he had them off to the side and

00:14:40
made it to where they couldn't see him.

00:14:43
Could be, yeah. Or he just like when he went

00:14:45
underwater, he just drug him wherever because he ended up.

00:14:49
Outside. The the sewer at some point, so

00:14:52
maybe he just kind of pulled them under the water and they

00:14:55
were like, where'd he go? Or he could have been, he could

00:14:58
have been blocked. He could have just been blocking

00:15:00
the view of the other two guys and showing them what they fear.

00:15:03
Because I'm going to tell y'all now.

00:15:05
When they looked in that tunnel and that hand came out and said

00:15:08
I want you. And it was a ghost of Uncle Sam,

00:15:10
I fell out laughing. I was like, how amazing is this?

00:15:18
Well, that's the thing that's annoying.

00:15:19
It's like they're like anything that doesn't feel right, just

00:15:22
shoot it. And I'm like, that was such a

00:15:23
bad command because. Between that was a set up.

00:15:28
Right, because it was just like, why would you just automatically

00:15:32
start shooting if something's playing with your mind, you

00:15:35
know, you don't know who you looking at.

00:15:36
It could be a whole like, you know, and I just thought that

00:15:38
was, I was like, that was some poor commanding right there,

00:15:42
buddy. I was, I was, this is off the

00:15:45
topic, but I was talking to the person that related to by

00:15:48
marriage who I live with. And I was pondering and you know

00:15:55
out loud, you think it would be beneficial for it to let them

00:16:00
find the artifacts so we could escape.

00:16:04
But she said she posited the idea that it's hunger is so

00:16:12
great. Yeah.

00:16:14
It's all smorgasbord. She's like, you ain't really

00:16:17
that smart if you really think about it.

00:16:20
Like it, it wasn't thinking about trying to escape.

00:16:22
It was like, oh, this is a meal down here.

00:16:27
You can give a damn about the pillars.

00:16:29
I got access to food right? Now like, oh, Golden Corral came

00:16:32
to me. I got a weird.

00:16:34
I got a weird connection. OK, so like, you know how on

00:16:37
Lilo and snitch Stitch? I'm sorry, Snitch.

00:16:40
I've been drinking Lilo and Stitch How they had him like

00:16:45
locked down because he wasn't controllable and all that stuff

00:16:47
and ever. And then he got he got away and

00:16:50
that. So maybe whoever locked him down

00:16:53
or did whatever they did to put him inside that Obsidian or

00:16:56
whatever was like he's just out here doing doing, doing things.

00:17:01
He ain't got no rhyme or reason. He just out here being wildly

00:17:04
put him in his bank because he just doing too much wherever he

00:17:07
came from. And that was kind of his thing

00:17:09
where he just wasn't smart or anything.

00:17:11
He just was led by hunger and led by like carnage and they

00:17:16
might have thought like we need to like get him off wherever the

00:17:19
heck we from because he was like that.

00:17:22
Because I feel like he definitely, I mean he's not an

00:17:26
idiot, obviously, because he knows how to play with people's

00:17:28
minds, But I do think, like you said, he he's just he's nothing.

00:17:33
He's just carnal. Everything about him is carnal.

00:17:35
Like it's nothing like he's not trying to build a, a House of

00:17:39
it's, he's not trying to reproduce, he's not trying to

00:17:42
take over the earth. And at some point, if he had

00:17:45
means to do it, he would just eat everybody's fear and kill

00:17:48
everybody off. And then what?

00:17:50
What's he going to do then? You know, so that makes a lot of

00:17:53
sense. It's smart enough to not kill

00:17:56
everyone off so you have a steady supply of food.

00:18:00
Yeah. Right.

00:18:02
Well, that part, yeah, because 20.

00:18:03
Seven years. It could kill everybody in

00:18:05
dairy, but it it realized that this is a limited food supply.

00:18:11
Yeah. Because there.

00:18:13
It is if you kill everyone in the town, I've, you know, even

00:18:18
though we talk about how, you know, he kind of, you know, puts

00:18:22
the little cloud over everyone and, and people just kind of

00:18:25
they're, they're foggy about what's going on.

00:18:28
If a whole town disappeared, that's going to be enough for

00:18:30
people to say, you know what, I'm not crossing this border.

00:18:34
They did it before because in the story you see all the

00:18:38
sellers that came here had killed.

00:18:42
Yeah. Because what I also think, like

00:18:44
him being trapped there, he has no choice but to make the food

00:18:50
constantly. Like if he could move, he

00:18:51
probably wouldn't carbonate as much, you know, because.

00:18:56
But since he's stuck in a place where this is the only place

00:18:59
where I can eat, you know? Yeah, it's fun enough to figure

00:19:03
out, but he just sort of just adapted to its situation.

00:19:07
Right. Like the last time they killed

00:19:09
all the settlers, it had no food.

00:19:11
He was like. Yeah, because the native were

00:19:14
like, what we're not going to do is cross this border or or go

00:19:19
into these woods. Yeah.

00:19:20
Right. And then once the new settlers

00:19:22
came and they were like, don't go in there.

00:19:25
They went in there anyway, he realized.

00:19:27
I can't kill them all. I just kid and it's just just

00:19:31
adapted over the 300 years or so.

00:19:36
Yeah, or I mean, probably longer than that, but yeah.

00:19:40
But so this was the thing that I thought was interesting because

00:19:45
the way that I can't remember the general's name, so I'm just

00:19:48
going to call him Francis because that's the name that we

00:19:51
hear the most. So Francis is telling Rose his

00:19:57
plan when she comes to confront him about her nephew.

00:20:00
And he's basically and, and what he tells Hanlon, he's basically

00:20:05
like, OK, this is what we're going to do.

00:20:06
So we figured out that these tunnels are under the house.

00:20:12
We're going to send a team out. They're going to secure the 13

00:20:16
artifacts and they're going to move them closer to kind of, you

00:20:19
know, they're going to try to enclose Pennywise in a smaller.

00:20:24
Circle smaller prison. Maybe it's just me, but I feel

00:20:30
like the math wasn't mashing because the people that you sent

00:20:35
was nowhere near enough to do the plan that you just talked

00:20:39
about doing. Not with 13 pillars and you got

00:20:42
to move them all right? I don't even think you had 13

00:20:46
people down there total. I don't even I don't even think

00:20:50
they realized the distance they had to do this because it's

00:20:54
supposed to be the border like around Derry.

00:20:58
So I. Mean, you know, you know, I

00:21:00
mean, Derry is a, it's a small town, but it's not, it's not,

00:21:04
oh, we all just going to walk there in like 20 minutes type of

00:21:08
small. Because if you remember the the

00:21:11
the flashback we saw, those smoke stacks was way out.

00:21:16
Miles. Miles.

00:21:18
Yeah, that house is what in the center?

00:21:21
In the center. Supposed to be yeah.

00:21:23
So I was, I was a little bit confused about that.

00:21:28
I was like, OK, something about this plan just does not seem

00:21:32
right. And I don't know if it was just

00:21:34
that maybe he has something else that he's trying to accomplish

00:21:39
and he's just telling Rose and handling what he needs them to

00:21:42
hear in order for them to go along with it.

00:21:46
Because of course, you know, once Rose has her confrontation

00:21:50
with him, she was like, OK, you're going to need my help.

00:21:53
Or at least let me prepare Taniel so that he can help you.

00:21:58
And basically what she said was fuck them.

00:22:01
You going to go in here with this with this weapon, you going

00:22:03
to make sure that you're protected.

00:22:05
You won't let the thing finish them off.

00:22:07
And we just going to be done with it.

00:22:08
You know, she's she's not caring at this point.

00:22:11
And I can't really say that I blame her because here you are

00:22:15
again. We we got to go back to this the

00:22:18
first time we told y'all not to cross these borders.

00:22:21
We told y'all not to go into the forest and you went anyway and

00:22:25
you got wiped out. So here you are again.

00:22:28
The natives have been protecting this land.

00:22:31
They've been protecting this city for the most part.

00:22:33
Yeah, you got a few casualties, but it's not carnage.

00:22:38
They've been protecting it. And here you go, Little white

00:22:42
man all of a sudden remembers. And he was like, oh, you know

00:22:46
what? We can close it and we can

00:22:48
control it and we can put on a leash.

00:22:50
She was like dude no this is not what you going to do.

00:22:55
How you going to do that? How you going to do that?

00:22:59
Even if you think about it the way that he's talking about

00:23:02
doing, if, if if you send 13 teams out, you find the pillars,

00:23:08
even if everyone digs at the same time and all like, OK,

00:23:12
we're going to dig up these things and then get on the walk

00:23:14
and talk, OK, Everybody take 10 paces in, OK.

00:23:17
Even if you do that, you're not really like there's got to be

00:23:23
something vulnerable there one, because you don't quite know

00:23:29
exactly how this works because you really think the natives are

00:23:33
about to tell y'all the entire thing.

00:23:36
No, just like she didn't tell them about the the shark that

00:23:40
she gave to Tango that, oh, this thing will we'll keep it away

00:23:44
because what will they do if they do it?

00:23:46
They're going to take it. They're going to be like, OK,

00:23:47
fuck him. We, we're just going to take it

00:23:49
and we're going to do whatever. We're going to try.

00:23:51
Oh, let's go try to hunt him or let's go try to caption.

00:23:56
At some point you just got to let the idiots be idiots and

00:24:00
just do what they gonna do. But.

00:24:03
Yeah, it's that mindset, you know, like, oh, they're savage.

00:24:07
They're this, that, that. But then you come to this

00:24:09
country and you can't even farm. You can't stay alive.

00:24:12
They got to help you stay alive. And then they they hold this

00:24:15
thing now, been doing it for centuries.

00:24:16
But you come and say no, no, no, we, we, we better, we know more.

00:24:20
We we got this. We can use this as a weapon,

00:24:23
don't you think? If it was anything I think that

00:24:26
could be done to be beneficial to help everybody else out,

00:24:31
don't you think they would have done it already?

00:24:33
Yeah, by now. But they're basically like, OK,

00:24:37
you know what? We're going to leave him in this

00:24:39
little area here and yeah, we just going to leave him alone.

00:24:44
I mean, think about it in the previous episode when they gave

00:24:47
us the the back story, they were like they lived in harmony with

00:24:52
it and they were like you stay on your side of the of the white

00:24:56
chalk line. We going to stay on ours and we

00:24:59
just gone. It's going to be copaceted.

00:25:00
We we're good. It's even like when they were in

00:25:03
the meeting in this episode, the girl was saying he goes and does

00:25:07
his thing and then we get we get our years of peace like you do

00:25:13
you whatever it is you going to do.

00:25:14
And then we get our peace like they made whatever decision need

00:25:20
to be made. Yeah, because even when he was

00:25:23
talking about it, he said we don't have as many casualties in

00:25:28
this cycle as we did in 35 and in O 8.

00:25:32
He was like, yeah, we had, I think what he say, 27 casualties

00:25:35
and he was talking about the number of children, he said.

00:25:38
But it's not as many compared to what we've seen, right?

00:25:42
And then you got the one person who was like, well, you hurry

00:25:44
up, dude. No, because guess what?

00:25:47
If this is going to keep all of us alive, you shut your trap.

00:25:50
You let him talk, but however long he want to talk.

00:25:54
I'm sorry I see any details. Whatever has been working for

00:25:58
several 100 years. So you keep your mouth closed

00:26:03
and stick to the program. And make sure you remember what

00:26:06
the hell I'm saying, because you're going to be the first

00:26:08
idiot to get Ada. You better be taking notes.

00:26:13
Right, right, right. But let me OK, so, so let's go

00:26:19
back because we, we got to talk about this whole thing with the

00:26:23
kids because I don't know what it is about the kid.

00:26:29
And I, well, let me not say that I know it's because the adults

00:26:35
don't don't listen, don't want to believe them.

00:26:39
They feel like they have nowhere to turn.

00:26:41
And again, I, I kind of felt bad for Lily because she was just

00:26:45
kind of like in this, in all of this bad things, you know,

00:26:50
everything bad that's happened, There's that one little piece of

00:26:54
hope. Oh, look, there's Maddie.

00:26:56
I'm sure alarms were going off in her head because if you look

00:27:01
at Maddie, something will tell you that ain't quite Maddie, you

00:27:06
know what I'm saying? But she wanted to have hope.

00:27:09
Shut up, Anthony, she wanted to have it.

00:27:12
She had her little slice of it. But the crazy thing is when she

00:27:16
tries to convince everybody else, like Rich, I love my man

00:27:20
Rich, and I'm so scared that he's going to be next because

00:27:23
Rich is the voice of reason with everything.

00:27:25
Because Ronnie is wanting them to go one way, Lily's wanting

00:27:29
them to go one way, and Rich is like, what the hell are both of

00:27:31
y'all talking about? No, we don't need to be doing

00:27:35
this, but when I say when she pulled out the little container

00:27:42
with Mommy's little helper. Oh.

00:27:44
My gosh, she was. Like, yeah, we got, we're going

00:27:46
to take as many as we can. My mom eats these like M&M's, my

00:27:50
daughter's background. Like, sweetheart, your mother is

00:27:54
a lot bigger than you. It probably doesn't affect her

00:27:57
the way it's. Going, she's been taking it so

00:27:59
much longer. You just go and jump in with

00:28:02
three, Lady jump in with three, three.

00:28:06
How we go from 1:00 to 3:00? And it's 10 O clock in the

00:28:11
morning. The only person who we've seen

00:28:13
any breakfast is Will. So they all doing this on an

00:28:17
empty stomach. I was like, oh, this is not

00:28:20
going to go well. This is not going to go well at

00:28:22
all. I'm just screaming at the TV

00:28:25
like baby, baby, baby. Three though, come on now.

00:28:28
Just just one. That's one.

00:28:30
Do I have two? Right?

00:28:32
Like, just work your way up what you see.

00:28:36
In the end, it really didn't matter because they were all

00:28:38
scared to say yeah. All it did was make them hide

00:28:42
until they got some real fear. And then it was like adrenaline

00:28:45
kicked in and it didn't work. Right.

00:28:47
Because I tell you, when Maddie, when he walked up there, he was

00:28:51
like, I thought it was right. I was like, something's not

00:28:55
right. And then when they turn around,

00:28:56
they all looked they were all looking down the the tunnel

00:29:01
because they heard handling calling for Caloran.

00:29:06
When Maddie starts walking up there, he starts on the I said,

00:29:09
is this give us a pole dance before he eats these Maddie pole

00:29:15
dance, baby. Then he starts singing.

00:29:19
Then you see the kids and I was like, you know what?

00:29:23
I really, I really did not need to see the kids that way.

00:29:29
Like we already saw them torn apart, smashed, and and just the

00:29:33
description that fate Maddie gave.

00:29:37
I didn't need to see them like that.

00:29:38
I didn't need to see poor little Susie, and I didn't need to see

00:29:43
Teddy with his head open and I didn't need to see Phil with my.

00:29:49
Yeah. And then when I saw the ham come

00:29:53
out of their tent, I knew it was not going to end well for the

00:29:58
kids when he said, oh, let's take you.

00:30:01
Let's go to the sewers and get Teddy.

00:30:03
Yeah, no. Yeah, no.

00:30:05
So if he's still alive after all this time, he going to have to

00:30:10
figure out how to get out because I'm not going in the

00:30:14
sewer. Nope.

00:30:16
I am an anchor today, I bet you that.

00:30:19
Absolutely not. You would not see me floating.

00:30:22
Nope. No, and and that was the other

00:30:24
crazy thing because they kept using the floating metaphors.

00:30:30
She, she talked about, you know, the, the anchor or the lifeboat

00:30:35
talking about that's where her dad said basically trying to get

00:30:39
them to, you know, trying to convince them to go and save

00:30:42
feel. And then when they're inside and

00:30:45
they're talking, she said something about, oh, when she's

00:30:48
talking about the, the pills and she's having her little, not

00:30:53
necessarily hallucination, but you can see that they're all

00:30:56
getting high. She was like, Oh, this feels

00:30:59
like you did When I went to Doctor Wagner's office, it felt

00:31:03
like I was floating on. She's getting ready to say

00:31:05
floating on air. And then all of a sudden they

00:31:08
hear the voice and I was like, right, right, this is we don't

00:31:15
want to do no floating. And then of course, you see Dick

00:31:18
Halloran floating in the water. I was like, you know what?

00:31:20
Just no, we're just we're. Just.

00:31:24
Happening. They they sobered up real quick.

00:31:27
Real quick like my daughter said oh them anti anxiety pills and

00:31:32
do shit. Nope.

00:31:34
Nope. Because I'm sorry, once you see

00:31:37
your so-called friend's head split open and something is

00:31:41
crawling out, no. No, when they like.

00:31:46
And. Then most of the twirl.

00:31:48
Was twirling around singing the song on the pole and then he

00:31:53
started the back of his head. I said Oh no.

00:31:59
No, I'm pretty sure we know this is not Maddie.

00:32:01
Guys, can we run now? Like what are y'all waiting on

00:32:03
all? Right, all right.

00:32:05
Soon as he started getting up on the pole, I would have been out,

00:32:08
'cause I'm like, OK, you know what?

00:32:10
Because as soon as he made that first turn, you see that.

00:32:12
You see the head splitting open. That was your cue, kitties.

00:32:17
But of course, you're too high to notice that.

00:32:19
You're probably thinking it's an effect of the medication.

00:32:22
You're like, are we really seeing this?

00:32:24
When he starts singing in that creepy voice, that's when you

00:32:28
leave. Because I'm pretty sure we'll

00:32:31
recognize that voice caller for Halloween.

00:32:34
Will, I'm gonna need you to run to your daddy.

00:32:36
I'm glad he took his time though, because if he had been

00:32:39
maybe 2 seconds quicker, he'd been dead.

00:32:45
But. I need you to run to your daddy

00:32:49
like he just any. What's crazy is he didn't even

00:32:52
listen. Polly is literally like, dude,

00:32:54
what are you doing? He ain't listening to nothing.

00:32:56
Polly's saying just shooting and doing.

00:32:58
He was like, I actually see him, right?

00:33:00
So Polly put tune together and see.

00:33:04
OK so here's the other thing that I found very very

00:33:07
interesting about this episode because I don't know about

00:33:12
y'all, but it don't look like Major Hamlin is fear proof, at

00:33:17
least not by not going by this episode.

00:33:20
So I was talking to one of my coworkers about it today because

00:33:22
she had to ask a bunch of questions about stuff she didn't

00:33:24
understand. And what I think it is is his

00:33:27
fear for his life. He doesn't have that.

00:33:31
But when it comes to his child and his wife, he's afraid for

00:33:35
them. But I don't think he has.

00:33:37
Like, he don't care about himself.

00:33:38
Like whatever happens to me happens, but he has fear about

00:33:42
them. And so, yeah.

00:33:45
Because because when when fake Charlotte came around that

00:33:48
corner, he looked real scared. Yeah.

00:33:51
And I was like, you know, because I feel like he, he

00:33:53
probably was like, oh, no, my wife is been got, my wife done,

00:33:57
got, got. And then of course he probably

00:34:01
figured it out like it wasn't her.

00:34:03
So I got it. But then you got to shoot your

00:34:05
wife in the face. It's like, yeah.

00:34:07
Yeah. And it's like, it's not like she

00:34:09
is not the only negative emotion that we experienced.

00:34:11
So there's concern, surprise, shock.

00:34:17
You know, those are. Monroe was scared.

00:34:21
He was scared. Will you sum all those up?

00:34:25
They just totally bypasses the actual fear itself.

00:34:29
The actual fear, like I don't even think he was scared he was

00:34:31
going to die honestly. Like it was him that was you.

00:34:33
Know yeah, no, I don't think he was scared that he was going to

00:34:35
die but he was like when he saw Charlotte he was definitely

00:34:39
scared that something had happened to her and then once he

00:34:42
realized that it was faking when he tell you know when he tells

00:34:45
Polly look, if you see anything that doesn't belong down here

00:34:48
you shoot it. But when your son and and I

00:34:53
guess also you're acting in the heat of the moment you're not

00:34:57
thinking about the fact that your son has already had an

00:35:01
encounter with whatever this thing is.

00:35:04
So his whole thing was he's on the base he shouldn't he

00:35:08
shouldn't be here. You're not thinking that oh OK

00:35:11
he's going to come down here with his friends or whatever

00:35:13
because you've already basically told me you'll see your friend

00:35:17
you'll see your little friends after all this is over.

00:35:20
I was like, how you know the friends going to be there?

00:35:23
But also, but also the the lack of of fear that he could be his

00:35:30
son. Like he wasn't like he was

00:35:34
afraid that this might be him for real.

00:35:37
That was that that was absolutely that was absolutely

00:35:40
gone. He was pretty confident this was

00:35:44
not what it seemed It was saying like he didn't even second guess

00:35:48
himself. Yeah, yeah.

00:35:51
And that that's, I think that's where where fear would have been

00:35:55
handy at that point. Yeah.

00:35:58
So you didn't? Have kept him from making the

00:36:00
decision he made and now his, you know, his, his, his Rd. dog

00:36:04
is gone because Polly was like, yo, you're not listening to me

00:36:08
that I see him. He's there and I don't.

00:36:11
I just don't think it was registering in in his mind.

00:36:15
He was just like, whatever this thing is, I got to kill it.

00:36:17
He had already made the calculation.

00:36:22
One test was Charlotte, so this is obviously the next test.

00:36:26
Also, I do I do wonder like just how much when, when he's when,

00:36:31
when, when Pennywise is messing with their minds, Like how much

00:36:34
is actually their mind? That's like, you know, like how

00:36:38
much of that is actually his mind that's making these

00:36:41
decisions at that point? Because like, he didn't even

00:36:44
like that when a boy came around, he didn't even try to.

00:36:46
Like he's yelling dead. And he was.

00:36:51
Like I was like, it's me, it's me.

00:36:55
No. No, it ain't.

00:36:56
No, it ain't that, ain't you? That was that would have been a

00:37:00
harsh lesson. Oh my God, a lesson.

00:37:03
Oh, he would have tried. He would have lost it right

00:37:05
there. He would have.

00:37:06
That would have been it. Literally.

00:37:09
But OK, so I have to ask Anthony because I have not read The

00:37:12
Shining, so I don't know a lot about Dick's background.

00:37:16
You said something about he's he is able to see dead people.

00:37:19
That is one of his powers because I don't think he could

00:37:21
do that in The Shining, or at least.

00:37:24
Not in the movie. Not in the movie.

00:37:25
They didn't imply that. No, I, I was saying.

00:37:30
I don't remember if that was one of his powers.

00:37:32
I knew about their voyance but I I was wondering if that was the

00:37:37
power he had locked away only because at the end he saw Paulie

00:37:44
and it wasn't like a version of the box was.

00:37:47
Open already so. OK.

00:37:49
OK. And then like in and in the

00:37:52
book, he also told Danny, because when Danny was asking

00:37:57
questions into the shining about like the rooms and like the lady

00:38:01
in the room and stuff. And then he was just saying like

00:38:03
asking him about are they ghosts?

00:38:05
Are there this, are there that? And he was just basically like,

00:38:08
look, you just stay away from where you ain't supposed to go

00:38:11
and don't go around 2:37. So I think he can see that

00:38:15
people because that Lady that was in that room was just one of

00:38:19
the things that Danny first asked about.

00:38:21
And he just basically told him, like, don't go.

00:38:23
You just don't go where you ain't supposed to go, but don't

00:38:26
go looking for nothing. You'll be all right, right?

00:38:29
Yeah, but then in doctor sleep. But then in Doctor Sleep you you

00:38:33
find out that she followed Danny like he was still he was being

00:38:38
haunted by the spirit. By the lady from the tub.

00:38:41
Yeah, Oh. I actually have to read Doctor

00:38:45
Sleep because I haven't read that yet.

00:38:46
That's horrible. OK.

00:38:48
OK, that is horrifying, but I do.

00:38:50
See. Yeah, I, I most, I don't want to

00:38:54
say most, but you know, they, they have a range of, of how

00:38:57
powerful they are. So you find out in Doctor sleep

00:39:01
actually, because they only go out to the powerful ones, but

00:39:05
there's a range. And so it it would make sense

00:39:10
that they would at least be able to know that there's a spirit

00:39:14
there at the minimum that that most people see.

00:39:18
And as A and if you're a kid, like you're the kid and in The

00:39:24
Sixth Sense, like, what did he do?

00:39:27
He tried to ignore them and pretend they weren't there.

00:39:32
He would go to a church because they don't like churches.

00:39:35
So he was doing his best to avoid.

00:39:37
And so Dick, his grandmother taught him just put that in a

00:39:42
box. So I'm assuming she meant put

00:39:44
your. Well, I thought put your powers

00:39:47
in the box, but then I remember in the book it was the trauma

00:39:50
that he put in the box. OK.

00:39:52
But I was wondering if they were just trying to put it together

00:39:56
and see he put some of his powers.

00:39:58
Because if you're a kid, that would freak you out if that's

00:40:02
what we're seeing all the time. Yeah, that's what we're.

00:40:05
Seeing dead people. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:40:08
And then who knows what they were doing to him.

00:40:10
I mean, just like in The Sixth Sense, they kept messing with

00:40:14
him because they were trying to get him to help him and when he

00:40:19
was ignoring them, they were hurt him because it's basically

00:40:22
like, you can help me. You can.

00:40:24
Help. They were malevolent.

00:40:25
They just was trying to get help.

00:40:26
Yeah. It's like in in Ghost when

00:40:29
Whoopi Goldberg actually unlocked it.

00:40:32
All of a sudden the whole bunch of spirits is trying to get

00:40:35
hurt. I'm trying to get hurt to help.

00:40:38
Yeah, same thing in Umbrella Academy with Klaus, the same

00:40:42
thing happened with him. So OK, that that would make

00:40:46
sense. That would that that would

00:40:48
actually make it a little bit more interesting too, especially

00:40:52
given that I've only seen The Shining.

00:40:54
And then, you know, at the end of the movie or like towards the

00:40:58
end of the movie, right before Dick gets there, that's when we

00:41:01
start noticing that there are ghosts all over this hotel.

00:41:05
You know, like having parties and doing this.

00:41:08
So if he's able to see all of that, that would be it's.

00:41:12
Oh gosh, OK Charlotte just ran at me on the TV.

00:41:17
I saw her flash off your face too, and I was like, what was

00:41:21
that? Listen.

00:41:25
And then my daughter just walked in the room.

00:41:29
Yeah, so, so horrible. The teeth thing, like why do

00:41:33
they got to do that? But you know, even with all of

00:41:37
this, this, this creepy stuff, I, I do have to say I am loving

00:41:43
the way that they are fleshing this story out.

00:41:46
Like I, I can't say I have any complaints about this show

00:41:53
except for the fact that they keep doing this God damn run.

00:41:55
Other than that, I I like what they're doing, especially with

00:41:59
the with the characters. And again, going back to what

00:42:02
Anthony started out the episode with the whole thing with Hank

00:42:06
and and and misses curse. I'm just like, OK, So what kind

00:42:12
of repercussions is this going to have?

00:42:14
Yeah, Because you know, you know, that's about to be found

00:42:19
out one way or the other. Oh yeah, for sure.

00:42:22
She 'cause then she said you want to come back to my house,

00:42:25
ma'am? What?

00:42:27
To your house. Why?

00:42:31
But obviously, obviously it wants him to stay there because

00:42:36
remember, the bus got attacked by some beast.

00:42:38
Yeah, yeah. And there were casualties, but

00:42:41
he happened to be the. Only one that survived.

00:42:44
Yeah, but I mean, I could kind of understand that because right

00:42:48
now Hank is the he's the scapegoat.

00:42:52
He's the one that's oh, oh, oh, oh, Dana, you.

00:42:55
It's the butcher. It's the butcher.

00:42:57
It's the butcher. Mr. Kirsch, It's the butcher.

00:43:00
The one that that Charlotte was talking to and he was like, oh,

00:43:03
I just meant like I lot of your new face.

00:43:06
It's him. It's him.

00:43:07
That's the husband. It's him.

00:43:11
Because I was like, we talk. We have seen this man and we we

00:43:14
have heard Mr. We've heard the name and we've seen this man

00:43:19
before. I just couldn't place where I

00:43:20
saw him. It's the Butcher.

00:43:22
He's not a nice man at home. He's not a nice man at all.

00:43:28
That makes me curious now about that whole situation.

00:43:34
Yeah. And then that makes sense.

00:43:36
He was like, you cook my steak, they cook it right, blah, blah,

00:43:39
blah. Right.

00:43:41
But in the store, when he met Charlotte, he was so nice and so

00:43:46
friendly and so welcoming. And so maybe he did mean it the

00:43:49
way she thought he meant it, but then he he course corrected to

00:43:53
make it seem like she was being over the top.

00:43:56
Yeah, could, could be. Because he was even nasty to a

00:44:01
little. Not nasty to Lily, but kind of

00:44:03
like he's. Like you're Terry Brent

00:44:06
Bainbridge kid. But you know, I wouldn't, I

00:44:13
wouldn't be surprised that he would talk to her kind of in

00:44:16
that way because again, she has a reputation of being the town

00:44:19
crazy kid. So he's probably like, what is

00:44:22
she doing in my house? Like I want her here, You know,

00:44:26
especially with everything that she's been associated with

00:44:29
lately, like, oh, you was there when them kids disappeared.

00:44:32
And who knows what information has gotten out about what

00:44:37
happened at the school. Even though, yes, Marge is

00:44:39
telling everybody, no, she didn't do it.

00:44:42
My my glasses broke. They cut my eye and whatever.

00:44:46
I mean, I don't know how the whole glasses cutting your eye

00:44:50
ended up with a screwdriver in in y'all's hand.

00:44:53
I I mean, but I mean, you got to give margin a for Everett

00:44:57
because and she could have easily been like, I don't I

00:45:02
don't know what y'all talking about.

00:45:03
She did this to me or whatever. Whatever, right?

00:45:06
But dinner. But dinner is is right though.

00:45:08
His whole demeanor is different. His whole personality was

00:45:13
different at the house. But you know what the the

00:45:19
natives were talking about? They they were saying that what

00:45:24
was it his something about he was spilling into the into the

00:45:29
water and it. Was he was.

00:45:32
Shedding. Yes, he's shedding into the

00:45:34
water and it's making the residents more aggressive than

00:45:38
normal. So maybe Mr. Curse wasn't such a

00:45:41
bad dude. Well, we met him and it just has

00:45:46
gotten. Worse.

00:45:47
Aggressively worse. Yeah, like maybe he was just an

00:45:50
asshole of a husband. Like maybe he was just mean or,

00:45:54
you know, just kind of verbally nasty to his wife.

00:45:57
But when we meet him, I got the feeling that he was kind of

00:46:02
maybe if he hadn't gotten some physical violence yet, that he

00:46:06
was kind of escalating or getting to.

00:46:08
Definitely. Coming now.

00:46:13
Right, you find out who your wife has been keeping company

00:46:16
with that's going to be. That's the other.

00:46:20
Thing Now this whole situation though, this whole situation

00:46:22
though, something about this don't seem right.

00:46:25
Well now we got 1962 to meet up because he worked in the

00:46:29
daytime. So what's was he meeting her on

00:46:32
after her shifts at the hospital?

00:46:35
I understand something don't seem right.

00:46:39
He was at home, passed out or I don't know.

00:46:45
Something don't seem right. The man we.

00:46:48
Said that since we introduced to her and, and the fact that you

00:46:52
reminded me that she's the nurse that's in the movies, I'm like,

00:46:56
OK, you know what? I really got to go back and

00:46:58
watch these two movies so I can put my so I can put my head into

00:47:03
this timeline of the IT story because you know, I started I

00:47:08
went back last week. I I started to read the book

00:47:11
because I haven't read the book in like maybe 20 something years

00:47:17
and just the fact that the book starts out a little bit early in

00:47:21
the book, I think the time is 1957.

00:47:24
I was like, Oh, you already messing with my timeline.

00:47:26
I can't do it. I can't do it.

00:47:28
I got to I got to focus on this timeline with the show.

00:47:31
So Imma have to go back and rewatch those movies and kind of

00:47:36
try to see if I can connect dots.

00:47:38
But I mean, we've been saying since Miss Kirsch showed up,

00:47:40
well, at least since the second time we saw her with Lily in the

00:47:44
diner, we were like, something right about her.

00:47:46
Yeah. So I and, and the fact that

00:47:51
she's connected to Lily, she's connected to Hank Grogan.

00:47:57
I I don't know, I'm kind of like Anthony, like whatever, I I

00:48:02
don't know any wise that I take just having he just did the run

00:48:07
his I think like really, this thing is in the water, like

00:48:11
where the hell you come from? Yeah, but but so so something

00:48:16
they adding up about the curses. Yeah.

00:48:19
To me, yeah, I know. Yeah, drinking too.

00:48:23
Look, drinking too much of the dairy water.

00:48:25
And I have a feeling just based on how things are going, this

00:48:28
next episode is going to give us a little bit of that answer

00:48:31
because something's got to come up about her sneaking off with

00:48:35
him in the daylight. Yeah.

00:48:37
In the woods and then come to my house and.

00:48:41
They can't and he can't leave because they get all the roads.

00:48:44
Locked up, come down in the basement.

00:48:48
I'm down to the sewers. Absolutely not.

00:48:54
I will not be going into your basement, man.

00:48:56
Oh no. I'm not going into your house,

00:49:02
but you are ready. You are willing to take a murder

00:49:06
app to protect her so that she doesn't get hurt and possibly so

00:49:09
you don't get hurt so you won't get lynched.

00:49:12
You know what? I'm good.

00:49:14
I'm good. You can just, you can just you

00:49:18
can go back to town. You can just leave me here in

00:49:20
the woods. I take my chances.

00:49:21
I might climb a tree and just sit there for a couple of days.

00:49:24
I will take my chances. Oh my brother, pick a direction

00:49:28
and start walking. And just start walking.

00:49:31
And just start walking a straight line, pick a direction,

00:49:34
stay off the roads. Be like Frodo, don't get on the

00:49:37
roads, stay off the roads. Sir, because this is not going

00:49:43
to end well for you. It's not no and I have a feeling

00:49:50
if he did make the Sarsan he he would have been killed in

00:49:53
Sarsan. Oh yeah.

00:49:55
And they were counting on that. So they didn't have to do any

00:49:57
more with the case, right? They were completely counting on

00:50:01
that. Yep.

00:50:04
Absolutely. And then I I was listening to

00:50:08
what he said. He was like, yeah, you know,

00:50:10
maybe you'll be OK. The last fish we sent in there

00:50:12
didn't make it a week. And I was thinking back to

00:50:15
Shawshank Redemption and the way that they kind of initiate the

00:50:19
quote, UN quote new fish that I was like, yeah, no, I don't

00:50:24
think he would make it. Yeah.

00:50:26
Because even in even in jail, even in prison, and you hear

00:50:31
this all the time, there is a even the most hardened of

00:50:36
criminals don't like people who fuck with kids, right?

00:50:41
They they really don't. So yeah.

00:50:45
They don't like kid molesters, kid killers, and they're like.

00:50:50
Rapists. Yeah.

00:50:52
So yeah, he would. I I don't think he would have

00:50:55
made it that first night, but oh, OK, We got what we got 3

00:51:04
episodes left. So what else do we need?

00:51:07
Look, what else do we need to know?

00:51:08
We need to know what's going on with Halloran.

00:51:11
What's in the box. We need to know what's in the

00:51:13
box. What's in the box.

00:51:19
Oh. You know you got to be a certain

00:51:21
a certain type of person to get that reference certain age.

00:51:26
Right. Oh, this is the one thing we

00:51:29
forgot. So, yeah, Grogan tells his

00:51:34
little ladylove. Oh, yeah, I think I got someone

00:51:37
who can help us. So now Charlotte is about to be

00:51:41
pulled into this. Yeah, on top of everything else

00:51:44
that's going on with her family. Because now your.

00:51:48
Husband and killed his best friend your son snuck out and

00:51:52
went into the sewers to go look for this thing that is so

00:51:56
dangerous that you guys had to move out of your house like.

00:52:00
So that's the other thing how he going to find her she on base.

00:52:05
So I get I mean, it's not like she at his house and she can get

00:52:07
a call from him because she ain't at home.

00:52:10
So I'm trying to figure out how he going to find her.

00:52:13
I don't know, because when he said that, I was like, Brad,

00:52:17
she, you. OK.

00:52:19
And she showed up on the base curse.

00:52:21
Mrs. Curse showed up on the. Base.

00:52:23
Yeah. Oh, that's right.

00:52:24
I forgot. She did.

00:52:25
She did go to the base. Which?

00:52:27
How do you how do you know Mike? I'm I'm confused.

00:52:33
Like maybe she went to her house first and then maybe a neighbor

00:52:37
was like, oh, they moved back to the base or something.

00:52:40
I'm telling you, the math ain't math.

00:52:42
And. No, because think about it, you

00:52:44
you really think Missus Kirsch is going to show up at a black

00:52:48
family's house? Well that's not traffic I like.

00:52:50
I forgot she even came to the base.

00:52:51
How did he know? He wouldn't have known.

00:52:55
That's yeah, I'm, I'm like Anthony something right?

00:52:59
If he could, if he could, if he could manifest, if he could

00:53:04
manifest as Maddie, yeah, who knows what that motherfucker can

00:53:11
do. Yeah.

00:53:12
Oh, and you know what? OK, what if what if everybody

00:53:19
did die on the bus and he ate that ate ate.

00:53:25
What's his name? Hank.

00:53:27
And now? He running around us Hank about

00:53:30
to go eat up some other people. I will lose every piece of my IT

00:53:35
that I got. Because somehow we know.

00:53:42
We, we know. I don't know.

00:53:44
This is going to be interesting because one of the previews has

00:53:50
the club burning with the the place that the black soldiers

00:53:54
built was on. Fire.

00:53:56
And everybody joints right. So I have a feeling Hank is

00:54:01
probably going to be there and everyone they're all going to

00:54:04
assume like all the white folks like well, maybe they keep they

00:54:07
hiding him and and Hank and Hank air quotes Hank making sure

00:54:17
everybody comes there so he can get his big blow out for the end

00:54:22
of the cycle. That's what I want to say.

00:54:25
The Augury and as they mentioned, you know he has, he

00:54:29
has one big massacre before he goes back into hiding, so.

00:54:39
Oh, I like, I like Dean. I like Dean.

00:54:41
How you think? And they're like, why?

00:54:46
OK, Sole Survivor. Sole Survivor.

00:54:48
Hill specifically needed to be the survivor in a in a situation

00:54:53
where unless he was going to keep more more stuff up.

00:54:57
But then. Well did they say he was the

00:55:00
only survivor? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:03
I just watched it not too long ago, and Charlotte's watching,

00:55:06
Watching. She's in her house and it comes

00:55:08
on the news. It was first, it was something

00:55:12
else and I forgot the other story that was was before that,

00:55:14
but. Then he escaped.

00:55:16
And said that he escaped that that, you know, and then

00:55:19
everybody else was dead. And I was like, and how he just

00:55:24
happened to be the one to still be alive.

00:55:27
They're going to be like, oh, he was the one that killed them,

00:55:29
but then they got to answer like, how did he get loose?

00:55:32
But you know, it's very weird. Shit happens all the time, so

00:55:39
OK. That would be so much fun if

00:55:42
he's dead. Poor Ronnie though.

00:55:43
I feel bad for Ronnie but it would be hilarious if he was

00:55:46
dead and he bout to come in there and start really messing

00:55:49
stuff up. Listen.

00:55:54
Oh, yeah, because that is another way to get like a big

00:56:00
massacre type thing going. You know, you, you have the the

00:56:04
forbidden love aspect. You let that one little detail

00:56:08
get out. You're going to have the white

00:56:10
mob coming after the black guy and then you're going to have

00:56:13
the black people be like, hold up.

00:56:15
Like, yeah, he he fucking with the white girl, but you ain't

00:56:18
just about to cut it. It's it's going to be a

00:56:21
bloodbath. Oh, and and who was Charlie

00:56:24
talking to on the phone? Probably MLK or JFK or RFK or

00:56:30
one of them FK one of the FK's. Yeah, I don't remember her

00:56:35
saying specifically anybody's name, so maybe.

00:56:39
She didn't. So that that's another mystery

00:56:45
because again, we don't, we don't know a lot about

00:56:49
Charlotte's connections. We just know that apparently she

00:56:52
has some, so who knows who she could have called?

00:56:56
All we know for certain Halloran is safe.

00:57:02
Yeah, if I say though, is he really dead, people?

00:57:08
I think she might have been talking to Rose, now that I

00:57:10
think about it, because now remember, she gave her number

00:57:14
and was like, call me if anything happens.

00:57:17
Or if you need a friend. Or if.

00:57:19
You might be Rose. Yeah, you might be right.

00:57:23
And of course, Rose would kind of know what's going on.

00:57:27
Yeah, So because. They also did show like right

00:57:30
after they said that he escaped. They also did show that not

00:57:35
Niebolt and Rhetta, the streets were going to be closed off to

00:57:39
the town or whatever and because of the military.

00:57:45
OK, so maybe some of these pieces are starting to fit

00:57:48
together. I just tell you they need to

00:57:52
stop playing with my my emotions.

00:57:54
But all this stuff, because this is.

00:57:58
It's like, how do you? How do you deal with something

00:58:00
that's in your mind? You can't even, you can't really

00:58:05
fight it like. Maybe, maybe it is smarter than

00:58:10
I think it is because it's like it's playing for the chess and

00:58:16
they playing, they playing, you know, they're bowling, they're

00:58:22
playing. The Atari 2600 version.

00:58:25
And. Play PS-5 right?

00:58:29
I mean, because. Yeah, I mean because the the

00:58:35
master he did with the gangland violence like he he made made it

00:58:39
look like 1 gang did something to the other gang and then they

00:58:42
like came after each other. That's the black and white thing

00:58:46
that's that's going to come in the factor.

00:58:48
Hank and he got a little it's like I'm going to have to get.

00:58:55
Food, these babies as a child, I guess it does work because it

00:58:59
would have access to everyone's fears in the city and they just

00:59:04
plays on on their fear and that's it.

00:59:09
That's all it has to do. There's a little spark here,

00:59:12
little spark there, spark over here.

00:59:15
Everything's in motion and you just sit back and watch.

00:59:19
Yep. And you know Mr. Kirch, the

00:59:22
butcher is going to figure in into all of that.

00:59:26
Because I just thought about what y'all he's a butcher.

00:59:29
He's about to come after Hank with a butcher knife and it's

00:59:33
about to be a whole bunch of mess.

00:59:36
Yeah, he going to get somebody riled up because everybody going

00:59:39
to be like that. Poor Mr. Curse the Butcher.

00:59:42
That's the butcher's. Wife the.

00:59:44
Bitch's wife. Oh Lord.

00:59:50
And she met she fooling around with a with a Kitty.

00:59:52
Murderer. Oh yeah.

00:59:55
And you know she ain't going to get none of that.

00:59:56
Blame to a certain degree is going to be what did you do to

01:00:00
her? Yeah, so.

01:00:08
OK, so it's funny that we're talking about this because now I

01:00:10
just thought about something that a friend of mine posted

01:00:12
online and I'm assuming it's because she saw yesterday's

01:00:15
episode and she was saying something like being black and

01:00:19
Stephen King is A2 edged. No A2 double edged sided war.

01:00:25
She had a 2 sided war. Like it's always 1.

01:00:28
You know, they always got fights being black on both sides of

01:00:31
things. And I was just like, what does

01:00:34
that mean? And now we're talking about

01:00:36
this. And I'm like, huh, Maybe that is

01:00:39
what what happens. Yeah.

01:00:42
Because. Yeah.

01:00:45
Because because again, like on the one hand, when when you're

01:00:49
going out and you're looking for like the reviews or the

01:00:53
discussions about the show, there are a lot of people who

01:00:56
are praising the fact that the show centers on black

01:01:01
characters, black families. OK, We had this discussion.

01:01:05
What the last episode of the episode before that.

01:01:07
On the one hand, that's good. We we got some representation.

01:01:11
We got them front and center. But at the same time, when

01:01:15
you're putting them in this in this time specifically, yeah, it

01:01:23
might not always be a good thing because, you know, they're going

01:01:28
to have to deal with some of the the racial tension, the racial

01:01:32
backlash, especially. I mean, even even with them

01:01:35
being in the North because, yeah, the North was a lot better

01:01:39
than the South, but it wasn't perfect.

01:01:40
They weren't just like all embracing with open arms.

01:01:44
You still have your idiots in your ass hats like we saw in the

01:01:47
first couple of episodes. So with the smoke, with the

01:01:50
smoke or stacks and sinners with.

01:01:55
Yeah, like Mississippi with what do you say?

01:01:58
With skyscrapers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:02:03
So I don't know. I'm just, I don't think this is

01:02:07
going to end well for Hank Grogan, if it hasn't already

01:02:10
ended for Hank Grogan. These days was never, Never,

01:02:16
Yeah. They are.

01:02:17
Yeah, they are. Definitely.

01:02:18
There's no way he's getting. No, no.

01:02:23
If he if like like Dennis said, he might already be dead.

01:02:27
He. Might, yeah.

01:02:28
Which would make it so good, I mean bad for him, but I would

01:02:33
really like. Up the stakes, yeah, yeah.

01:02:38
And as far as the kids go, I don't know if I feel like Rich

01:02:42
is going to make it a. Little Rich.

01:02:45
And and because he's the cutest one, but also I feel like he's

01:02:50
the only one. With some damn sense.

01:02:55
Because he's the one that's like y'all, we are kids we should not

01:02:58
be doing this. Like no, the adults are not

01:03:01
going to believe us. Yes, they think that you

01:03:03
attacked this girl. Like who wouldn't think that?

01:03:05
Who wouldn't think that getting what they it was?

01:03:07
Like my bar? He was listening to them all.

01:03:15
My Barber, my auntie. Do you wash my car?

01:03:21
Uncle Jose, who mowed lawns. Because who's?

01:03:29
Going to believe some other stuff.

01:03:31
I mean, at least March had the the the mindset that she was

01:03:36
like, OK, you know what's up about this shit ain't right.

01:03:39
So let me keep my mouth shut before I end up at Juniper Hill

01:03:43
next. And, and like you said, I'm glad

01:03:46
she came out and said it. I'm glad she proved herself to

01:03:50
be Lily's friend when it came, when when I was said and done.

01:03:54
Yes, I hate that you had to go through what you went through.

01:03:57
But you know what? Looking at the damage her eye

01:04:01
has, she got off easy. Yeah.

01:04:05
Oh yeah. She got off easy and and that

01:04:08
little scratch, look, if you got to deal with that little scratch

01:04:13
in order to understand that there is something way bigger

01:04:16
going on here than you being a part of the patter cakes.

01:04:19
OK, you know what then? Then that's what we do at.

01:04:22
Least. Mars was like, look, you're my

01:04:25
friend, I'm so sorry, what do I need to do to help?

01:04:30
And she didn't hesitate. So I like that about her at.

01:04:33
Least she ain't floating. That's.

01:04:35
All right, And that's because Lily saved her.

01:04:39
Yep. And on that note, I think we can

01:04:43
be done. Because anyway.

01:04:50
Wait to watch this. I might watch it tonight.

01:04:53
I don't know. I might not need no bad dreams,

01:04:54
but. Are you talking about the next

01:04:56
episode? Yeah, because now I'm ready to

01:04:58
see what's going to happen. I think I'm going to wait till

01:05:01
tomorrow to do that. Oh, and and for some of those

01:05:05
people listening, make sure you go check out Hanukkah's Facebook

01:05:08
page where Erica Rose Pennywise. Listen, I'm going to have to

01:05:14
make that post public because it's so funny.

01:05:17
Somebody posted a meme and they were like, if Erica Sinclair was

01:05:22
in dairy, she'd have shut Pennywise down the first night.

01:05:27
And so Anthony and a couple other people started putting

01:05:31
their own Erica quotes up under the post.

01:05:36
And when I say hilarious, I'm gonna I'm gonna make that

01:05:40
public. I'm gonna make it public and

01:05:42
probably share it to the Phantom Hybrid Facebook page because

01:05:46
yeah, it was hilarious. But you know, I did think about

01:05:48
that. I was like, you know, who's one

01:05:50
kid that Penny wise probably would not like everybody.

01:05:55
I think somebody else said in the post, they say y'all noticed

01:05:57
that Beckman ain't messed with Erica cause Beckman don't want

01:06:01
that smoke. He don't want it.

01:06:06
'Cause she's not weak, she not weak, not in a little bit.

01:06:09
Because when they said that, I was like.

01:06:11
And that is why Erica will never.

01:06:13
Be right, thank you because man. And we are going to talk about

01:06:19
Stranger things season 5. But in in that episode when they

01:06:23
came to her for help and she was like y'all got 60 seconds and

01:06:28
they they're beating around the Bush and then they were like OK,

01:06:31
so this is what happened This happened da da da bang those

01:06:34
back and blah blah blah. She was like well why didn't

01:06:36
y'all leave? It's.

01:06:41
Like, you know what, Erica is going to handle some business

01:06:44
and she would definitely, I feel, be a worthy adversary for

01:06:48
Penny Wise. So I don't know, some look, some

01:06:52
fan fiction authors go go write that story.

01:06:55
Go write that story. I need, I need a battle between

01:06:57
Erica Vechner and Penny Wise. Penny wise, you were shriveled

01:07:03
up so quick. Oh yeah, she would have been

01:07:07
like. This, all the fear that he had

01:07:09
collected, she would just suck it right back out of him.

01:07:13
Yeah, he'd be like, oh wait, I'm scared.

01:07:16
What? What is this feeling?

01:07:27
OK, and on that note, that is it for our show.
