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

00:00:27
of the Phantom Hybrid Podcast. This is Hanukkah and I'm here

00:00:31
with Casey and Michelle, and we are trying for the second time

00:00:35
to discuss The Walking Dead. Dead City Episode 3.

00:00:41
And I say that because we recorded this episode last week

00:00:45
or we thought we recorded this episode last week.

00:00:48
We were talking, we were having a good time.

00:00:50
We got about an hour and 30 minutes in and I realized that

00:00:53
the camera was not recording, that the nothing was recording,

00:00:58
and then when I stopped it to check to see how far the

00:01:01
recording got. Had only gotten 14 minutes.

00:01:04
I don't know what happened. I don't know if I accidentally

00:01:07
hit something, if my cat walked across the keyboard, I don't

00:01:11
know. But yeah, we had to.

00:01:14
I had to get my brain right. So here we are once again,

00:01:19
episode three of The Dead City. And I'm going to start this one

00:01:22
off the same way I started off the last time because I'm a gone

00:01:26
ahead and let Casey get what she got to say out the way because.

00:01:31
Watching the beginning of this episode, this is all I heard in

00:01:34
my head. For those of Y'all who are

00:01:36
watching, you see it as Casey's screen name.

00:01:39
Go ahead and say it Casey, you. Need me the whooping?

00:01:42
Give me the full-fledged whooping.

00:01:48
Because how you leave the safety and sanctity of Hilltop.

00:01:53
What we already know, it was only one protected at the gate.

00:01:56
You got my real real smooth. See.

00:01:59
No, you got to let me have my full rant on that one.

00:02:02
And you will, and you will. But nonetheless, you still stole

00:02:06
a bike. Use that bike clearly on one

00:02:08
tank of gas, and got all the way to what?

00:02:13
Is it the Hut's Yard from wherever, excuse me, New Jersey?

00:02:17
From wherever it is that the new Hilltop is?

00:02:20
And found the cooler. Got her ass in a cooler and was

00:02:24
able to levitate and and balance herself with a little stick to

00:02:28
paddle lacrosse with. No walkers to get to the other

00:02:31
side to get to the eye. And you can't forget to mention

00:02:36
that she even left long time ago Negan when he turned around.

00:02:42
And walked off. God damn bear.

00:02:44
What he say. Whole time you've been stuck to

00:02:45
my ass like blue. I turned my back for two

00:02:48
seconds. You took the fuck off.

00:02:50
You need a fucking whooping. Or at least a bill tied around

00:02:54
the neck. I had, I just had so many

00:02:58
questions about that because one, we already know from what

00:03:04
we've seen of the first part of the final season of Fear The

00:03:08
Walking Dead that I don't, I don't know where the disconnect

00:03:12
is, but we already know that they are not casting these kid

00:03:17
actors to portray accurate ages. I don't even know how old Jenny

00:03:22
is supposed to be. What is that?

00:03:27
From what we know about her, she was with her father at a farm.

00:03:34
Dad left to go scavenging. She went to go find him, found

00:03:38
his body, and she's been mute ever since.

00:03:41
And sticking to Megan like glue. My question is, did your dad

00:03:46
teach you how to travel across the state or?

00:03:51
From state to state. Because again, we still don't

00:03:53
really know where the new Hilltop is located.

00:03:56
But the fact that you just got on a bike and all of a sudden

00:04:02
found yourself on the New Jersey shore?

00:04:05
No map, like you, said Casey. Probably no gas.

00:04:11
What did she even take food from?

00:04:13
From Hilltop? Did she take that little piece

00:04:15
of bread that what's her name left off?

00:04:18
And then how do you have the wherewithal to know the damn

00:04:21
cooler going floor? I would have thought of that

00:04:23
shit. I wouldn't either.

00:04:24
I'm sorry, the. Cooler going float and I'm gonna

00:04:27
make it across. Well, well, clearly we can't get

00:04:29
in the cooler and float in the igloo cooler.

00:04:31
She she knew she could, I guess. Our big ass would be right at

00:04:35
the bottom of that, but. But the other thing I was

00:04:39
thinking of was when Megan and Maggie went across the river in

00:04:45
a boat. In an actual boat.

00:04:48
There were bodies floating in the river.

00:04:50
What please. And even with the not just in

00:04:56
the river the whole episode she didn't made it to Manhattan.

00:05:02
She's going through the streets of Manhattan.

00:05:04
You don't see now am Walker chasing her.

00:05:07
You don't see like she's able to even I guess you can kind of say

00:05:12
evade the walkers. She gets away from one that

00:05:15
almost has her leg and nobody is.

00:05:18
Coming after her? No.

00:05:19
Like does she have like zombie repel on her?

00:05:27
I I just have so many. You have to keep in mind that

00:05:30
especially with her not talking, she is super quiet.

00:05:34
Like benefit of the doubt, she's quiet so she's able to move and

00:05:40
maneuver through walkers because.

00:05:43
Apparently she walks on fucking air.

00:05:45
Because I don't. So, so, so that's all I need is

00:05:47
to be quiet and I can survive. It's working for this child I I

00:05:52
just flipping. I just don't I I don't

00:05:58
understand it. Has she?

00:05:59
Have we even seen her kill? A Walker?

00:06:04
No, no. Remember even the one Negan

00:06:06
killed, The one with the bag? The.

00:06:09
One in the flashback. So maybe she still have her

00:06:11
Apple phone and Neegan has an Apple tag on she can't find it.

00:06:16
Because that's the other question I had.

00:06:19
Just like I'm just saying you got a tracker on them, I.

00:06:23
Was like, so you just all of a sudden like this, this grown ass

00:06:29
man who obviously knows his way around a Walker or two, tells

00:06:33
you to go to this place. Stay put, be safe, stay safe so

00:06:38
I can go do what I need to go do.

00:06:42
And you leave to go find him like he not a whole grown ass

00:06:45
man who can take care of himself.

00:06:48
Like what are you going to do? You won't even open your mouth

00:06:50
to save yourself. So does that say she cares about

00:06:54
him and she wants to make sure he's safe or she knows he I

00:06:58
don't know which one he? Is.

00:07:00
I'm asking which one is it because you ain't.

00:07:03
She doesn't say anything. I I'm going to.

00:07:06
I'm going to say it's it's probably that she cares about

00:07:08
like this is a. Guy that has been.

00:07:10
Taking care of her, you know, kind of if, I mean if you look

00:07:14
at that flashback Rd. Megan is in full daddy mode.

00:07:17
He is in full daddy mode and you know we we get a little bit more

00:07:22
back story about him and Annie and what happened with them.

00:07:26
So we know that I guess in a way she's kind of like a substitute

00:07:30
for the child that he is no longer around but.

00:07:34
It's just like, I understand he's important to you, but what

00:07:40
are you going to do in Manhattan?

00:07:43
Unless, unless she she knows how to get there because she's from

00:07:49
there now. If that's the case, okay maybe,

00:07:54
But also if you're from Manhattan, then you probably

00:07:58
know what the fuck they did to Manhattan, but I don't think so

00:08:02
because of you think. So she looks like she has to be

00:08:06
maybe around, I would say probably 13-14.

00:08:11
Fourteen, maybe. When Megan was talking to

00:08:15
Tomasso and Amaya and he was, you know, given the story about

00:08:20
him, but without saying it was him, he said about 12 to 15

00:08:25
years back, this guy came on the scene down South, So that's kind

00:08:31
of. Cementing the time frame for us

00:08:34
somewhere between 12 and 15 years.

00:08:36
Of course, they don't know exactly how long, because nobody

00:08:38
is exactly keeping up with the calendar at this point.

00:08:42
But we know that that's kind of where things are, you know,

00:08:46
about 15 years. So that does put Herschel right

00:08:51
around maybe thirteenish 12 at the youngest, because by the

00:08:58
time all this stuff happened with Glenn.

00:09:01
Maggie was pregnant and they have been doing this for maybe

00:09:07
close to three years because Judith was just under two years

00:09:11
old at the time. So that can that at least gives

00:09:15
us a little bit of you know, a time frame to work with.

00:09:19
But if that's the case Jenny probably wasn't even alive when

00:09:22
Manhattan fell and. I don't think she's from.

00:09:28
I don't think she's from there. I just think this child is

00:09:30
magical, you know? She knows how to read maps and

00:09:34
stuff, and she. Didn't have a map to read, she.

00:09:38
Knows. How to she know how to read the

00:09:40
stars, I don't know. Because what's the likelihood?

00:09:45
I mean, even with even with Manhattan being shut down, that

00:09:53
island is still very big. I know, because.

00:09:56
When when we went to New York to visit like it, we did a lot of

00:09:59
fucking walking. Like, right.

00:10:02
And subway riding. So where he was and how to find?

00:10:07
Them is right. Right.

00:10:10
Or at least you like. You end up right there in the

00:10:13
vicinity. Or at least enough in an area

00:10:18
where one of their people. You know, she dropped her little

00:10:22
thing and so OK, I get you followed the person who has your

00:10:25
thing because you want your thing back.

00:10:27
Maybe not necessarily knowing that they would lead you to

00:10:29
Negan, so to say, but. I don't know.

00:10:34
That whole thing is just weird. It And and also, well, OK, so I

00:10:39
was going to say yeah. Wait, hold on before you go.

00:10:41
And then the fact that the person who found the thing, this

00:10:45
thing ain't dirty. It's not.

00:10:47
Looking like it's been sitting on the ground for you know the

00:10:51
since the palms went off and they're all rusty and dusty and

00:10:55
you see a brand new, damn near brand new toy on the ground you

00:10:59
don't look around and be like. Okay.

00:11:02
So let's let's talk about her real quick, because in that

00:11:07
scene Jenny had just, she was, she was running away from some

00:11:10
walkers, you know, she tried to go One Direction.

00:11:13
There were a few walkers, she tried to go another direction.

00:11:16
She saw some Walker. She was walking backwards and

00:11:18
she tripped over the arm of another Walker up under a

00:11:21
garbage can and that's how she dropped the Dino.

00:11:24
She went off to the side and she's kind of looking.

00:11:28
Here come this chick with her walking stick.

00:11:31
Clank. Clank.

00:11:34
I was like, what's that noise, Clank?

00:11:38
Fuck. Do you think these walkers have

00:11:41
been turning at the least little bit?

00:11:46
And you just walking down the street, Clank, Clank.

00:11:52
I was like, wait, I'm so like, don't get me wrong, I like the

00:11:59
show, but I have so many questions about some of the

00:12:03
stuff that they're doing. Is it just that people are

00:12:05
getting careless now? You almost 20 years down the

00:12:07
line, you just like, whatever, fuck it, if they come after me,

00:12:10
I'm just going to kill them. Is that where we are now?

00:12:15
No, I I I agree with you. I like the show, but there are

00:12:20
little pieces that they're leaving out.

00:12:22
And I know they want us to make the connections, but some

00:12:25
connections don't make quite sense in the world that we live

00:12:28
in. But I know they're trying to get

00:12:31
to their point of the story and they only have so many episodes.

00:12:34
But I mean, this girl is like a superhero, right?

00:12:40
So so here's my thing. If you have the story you're

00:12:43
trying to tell, stop giving us six episodes, fucking shows.

00:12:50
Give us, give us a few more episodes, 8 episodes.

00:12:53
Don't. Don't try to rush the story.

00:12:57
Now we'll say this, I do kind of like the pacing of this show

00:13:01
because they're not dragging things out.

00:13:03
But there are some points that I feel like you do kind of sort of

00:13:07
need to like maybe. Take a little bit more.

00:13:12
Time make some time in and and then we're going to get to it.

00:13:15
But also decisions that some of these characters are making.

00:13:20
I don't agree that they will make.

00:13:22
If we were in the other Walking Dead series, they would have

00:13:26
made those. I will tell you this, probably

00:13:29
Armstrong would have been dead by now if if.

00:13:33
He would have in this world you this is not.

00:13:37
It's not. It's not work.

00:13:38
It's not working. He wouldn't have lasted 2

00:13:41
episodes. First of all, why do you why are

00:13:45
you sitting around the whole episode frowning like a fucking

00:13:49
toddler about to have a tantrum? Because you can't get the person

00:13:54
you want to get. But even if you go back to the

00:13:56
beginning, not the beginning, But when he first got to

00:13:58
Manhattan and he went to the apartment kicking the fucking

00:14:02
door in and just loud. In the apartment building that's

00:14:08
going to have, you know what I'm saying?

00:14:10
It doesn't make sense. But then also some of the things

00:14:13
these walkers are doing ain't not not making sense.

00:14:16
But OK, we'll leave that for another let's.

00:14:18
Go ahead, let's go ahead and go with that.

00:14:21
Let's go ahead. For me, when he kicks the door

00:14:24
in, how do walkers know that's where he was?

00:14:29
That's true, because it took a minute for a Walker to come, so

00:14:32
they would have had to go to each door.

00:14:34
So I'm going to go to a door. It looks open.

00:14:37
Well, remember, I said. Have.

00:14:39
No eye at. That did you?

00:14:41
Did you remember? You were fucked down this hard

00:14:42
before and that door had a hole? That's what I said when we

00:14:46
watched that episode. I was like, this makes no sense,

00:14:50
that unless he was in there making noise, which he wasn't,

00:14:53
he was looking at his brother and putting a blanket over him.

00:14:58
None of those things require you to make noise, but all of a

00:15:01
sudden walkers are in it, like, oh.

00:15:04
Hey, there's a hole in this door where it wasn't before.

00:15:07
Hey, there might be something in that now.

00:15:09
I don't know. It could have been something

00:15:13
different. They could have smelled him.

00:15:15
Who knows how long it's been since he's taking a bath.

00:15:18
He's been running through the streets chasing after Megan,

00:15:21
doing this, doing that. So there could be a sense of

00:15:25
body odor that they're like, oh, this is something different,

00:15:27
something that might alert them to the fact that somebody is

00:15:31
living. You know, smell you.

00:15:34
Right. Thanks, Hannika.

00:15:35
Where we get that from? That's a very Oh, that's true.

00:15:41
That's true. Sorry, look, look, because we

00:15:43
all. Like, yeah, that's what we're

00:15:45
like, OK? Yeah, you're right.

00:15:48
Yeah. That's why you can smear, you

00:15:50
can smear their blood. Too long.

00:15:52
Y'all start. Look, look, that's that's what

00:15:55
they're doing. We've been doing this for too

00:15:57
long. We just go get last.

00:15:58
We just don't forget how this works.

00:16:02
But that's not how any of this works.

00:16:05
It's not. But Pearly Armstrong, like I

00:16:08
said, first, you're sitting there with a look stuck on your

00:16:12
face like you're about to have a top, a tantrum, Okay.

00:16:16
And I understand you're in the situation you didn't want to be

00:16:19
in. You're in this arena.

00:16:23
You know, with the Crow at which we're going to get to the crow

00:16:26
at in a minute, because I have a lot of things to say about him.

00:16:29
And they're not necessarily all bad in a sense, but you're in.

00:16:36
You find yourself in this arena, you're handcuffed.

00:16:39
But this guy who has taken you hostage, he comes in and he's

00:16:43
showing you what he has done with this place.

00:16:46
Oh, he walks in. And he was like, oh, it's a

00:16:49
little chilly in here, isn't it? And then he makes a show of

00:16:52
going to turn the heater on. So almost 20 years into a zombie

00:16:59
apocalypse, the crow at is in an arena that has electricity

00:17:05
working, A/C working. He he's putting hot beef Stew on

00:17:10
the table. They have one.

00:17:14
Where do I sign up? I mean, it's kind of like what

00:17:20
we've been saying about. Megan with the sanctuary When?

00:17:23
You stand. Out on like if I have to choose

00:17:27
between being on the streets of Manhattan with what is out there

00:17:31
and being inside the the arena. I'm a person of comfort.

00:17:38
Give me my creature comforts. Is there a bed?

00:17:40
Can I? I mean, you got electricity.

00:17:43
Is there a TV in there? DVD player?

00:17:45
Some old DVD's? Yeah, I'm sitting my ass inside

00:17:48
because I'm not going out there. Have you seen whatever it's?

00:17:51
Like Manhattan probably has 6 million dead walking around.

00:17:55
Absolutely not. And.

00:17:57
You have to keep in mind, most likely he fashioned the arena

00:18:06
after the sanctuary. Absolutely.

00:18:08
Like I. Said.

00:18:09
Yeah, I can agree. Because I have a lot to say

00:18:13
about, yeah. You know, the same general.

00:18:17
Except everybody ain't walking around talking about I am I am

00:18:19
Croat. No, nobody.

00:18:22
But in the same vein, he probably is the same philosophy

00:18:27
series that Negan started. It's very obvious that the Croat

00:18:36
has a hero worship thing of Megan going on, which is so

00:18:41
weird because Megan thinks that the Croat wants to kill him.

00:18:45
For what he did to him, as far as like casting him out,

00:18:48
shooting his ear off, trying to kill him.

00:18:50
But if you look around, even the things that the Croat is saying,

00:18:56
it's like he's mimicking himself off of Megan, Which is very

00:19:02
interesting for the show because, you know, we've, we've

00:19:06
been talking a lot about Megan and how he's been trying to

00:19:09
reform himself, trying to change himself from the person he used

00:19:12
to be. So it's very odd in this episode

00:19:16
to see somebody else using his same words, his same philosophy,

00:19:23
like literally. It's almost like Negan wrote it

00:19:25
down and the Croat studied it word for word, you know?

00:19:31
But it's but listening to it come out of the Croat mouth,

00:19:38
yes, it just seems a little more touched than Negan.

00:19:43
Did you know, and I mean Megan has been hinting that the Croat

00:19:48
is not wrapped too tight in the brain.

00:19:51
He's been hinting that, and even with this episode, we see it

00:19:55
with the type of things that he does, As far as you know, his

00:19:59
people get high off the methane that's coming from the bodies,

00:20:03
the the ring that was left in the arena.

00:20:05
Apparently there was going to be a big MMA fight when everything

00:20:08
went to shit and the MMA cage is still there.

00:20:14
And he holds games, which, yeah, it's like listening to that same

00:20:21
philosophy come out of his mouth.

00:20:23
I feel like, in a way, it also is supposed to illustrate to the

00:20:28
audience just how different Megan is now from the person he

00:20:32
was back then. Because even when he was saying

00:20:35
it back then. I never took him for crazy, but

00:20:38
I was like, oh, he's really believing all this bullshit that

00:20:41
he's feeding to everybody. And we realized down the road

00:20:46
now it really wasn't bullshit for him.

00:20:49
He really thought that he was saving people and in a sense he

00:20:53
was, he was just going about to be completely wrong way or it

00:20:58
got to the point where. The God complex.

00:21:02
Stuck. But he it's just that he that

00:21:05
was a character. He knew he had to play and he

00:21:06
stuck with the character. Because you can't falter from

00:21:08
the character, you falter from the character, then you don't

00:21:11
have a rise up and somebody else will take over, just like he

00:21:14
took took over from someone else.

00:21:17
Once you get to the point where you have people in a place that

00:21:20
they believe this, you got to keep that up and everyone has to

00:21:26
keep it up. Right.

00:21:27
I mean just it's it's not too much different from Ezekiel with

00:21:32
the the Kingdom, right? Except, you know, of course

00:21:35
Ezekiel. I don't feel like Ezekiel ever

00:21:39
let the whole King title get to his head.

00:21:42
Like every time we saw him kind of relishing in that.

00:21:45
It was all part of the act. Yeah.

00:21:48
And he, he had a character. He had a character too.

00:21:51
I mean, come on now, because you were in the middle of auditorium

00:21:54
stage. Right.

00:21:59
Sorry, that was. On a chain that was one of the

00:22:01
best character in it. I mean it is, but that's that.

00:22:04
But you had to keep that front up.

00:22:06
You got to keep that front up so people don't come and try to

00:22:09
take over your areas for your people.

00:22:11
Right, right. But I.

00:22:16
And you walked around with that confidence because the way he

00:22:19
told his story about when beforehand he didn't seem like a

00:22:23
man who was full of confidence. So he lived in he he walked into

00:22:28
his character, Negan walked into his character and the court,

00:22:33
what is his name? He's doing the same thing, but

00:22:36
he, he had a trauma full, you know, experience though.

00:22:41
So going back, we're going to come back to the court because

00:22:44
like I said, I had. I have things to to say about

00:22:48
him. Let's go back to my least

00:22:49
favorite character of this show so far.

00:22:51
Let's go back to Pearly, OK? Because like I said, he's there.

00:22:55
He's held captive by the Croat and the Croat is basically

00:22:59
giving his sales pitch. As far as look, I just need to

00:23:03
know why you're here and who you came with.

00:23:07
He was like, look, this is what I'm done.

00:23:09
This is what I've built and he talks to Pearly about.

00:23:13
His old profession, he says. I used to be a scientist before

00:23:16
all of this. And when I came to this place, I

00:23:21
was wondering, you know, I asked the question, what is the most

00:23:24
abundant natural resource here? Death.

00:23:27
And so basically he figured out a way to make all of those

00:23:32
bodies count. And he, you know, we saw this.

00:23:37
He's been putting bodies into, like the different tanks.

00:23:40
And we were like, what kind of weird governor shit is this on?

00:23:43
No, the governor was nowhere near this creative.

00:23:48
This dude is using the bodies that are in the city that are in

00:23:53
the sewers, and he's using them to create the gas that powers

00:24:02
the whole arena. You know, basically as the

00:24:04
bodies are breaking down with them being in in a compressed

00:24:07
space. And I actually wrote down his

00:24:09
full description and I can't find what I did with it, but he

00:24:15
oh, here it is Wallow. So he says, what is the most

00:24:19
abundant natural resource on this island?

00:24:21
Death. The sewers are full of it and as

00:24:24
the bodies break down they produce methane and because the

00:24:28
intermolecular forces are weak. The gas can be pressurized into

00:24:33
a liquid fuel at regular temperatures.

00:24:36
This dude is powering everything in this arena from the dead

00:24:41
bodies. That was like, if he wasn't

00:24:43
batshit crazy, do you know what he could have done for the

00:24:48
world? Like all of our people, they

00:24:51
could have enhanced. Here's the other thing about all

00:24:55
of. Humanity and the way that you

00:24:58
act when you when you're in this type of apocalypse situation.

00:25:02
Instead of sitting there trying to figure out OK, how can we

00:25:06
pull our smarts, our resources, our experiences and use it to

00:25:12
make the world better. Y'all are instead of fighting

00:25:17
for who's going to control this then other y'all have the whole

00:25:23
fucking planet to yourselves now.

00:25:27
There is no reason to be fight like.

00:25:30
Over nothing. Right.

00:25:31
Because we can pull together all of our resources because

00:25:35
everyone has some type of skill and we can use that.

00:25:41
What is it? Megan says.

00:25:42
And the crow at even says it here.

00:25:43
People are resource. That's the way you are supposed

00:25:47
to use people as a resource. It didn't have to just be

00:25:50
Alexandria with the walls and the solar panels.

00:25:54
If someone had come up to them and they're like, hey, we also

00:25:57
want to live, great, but we don't want to encroach on your

00:26:00
space. Can you teach us how to do this?

00:26:03
But ain't that what Georgie was supposed to be fucking doing?

00:26:05
Yes, We ain't even going to talk.

00:26:06
We we're not. What that was Georgie was

00:26:10
supposed to be doing And then in a way Commonwealth tried to do

00:26:14
that when you're trying to figure out what people do and

00:26:16
what they what they did in the past life and but y'all was

00:26:19
crazy as fuck, so. Because y'all were too busy

00:26:23
trying to take it back to a broken system.

00:26:26
Right. I couldn't elite it right to be

00:26:29
your lead at the top. And have they just, you know,

00:26:33
figured out what people like and and or or could do?

00:26:37
And then from there, let's pull that around.

00:26:41
Let's send you our sister communities and teach them how

00:26:45
to do this so we can have this and.

00:26:48
But John Y'all want to hoard it all to yourselves and be

00:26:51
assholes and just. Right.

00:26:55
And and you know, when you think about it, when they first

00:26:59
started doing the show, when we first started watching the

00:27:02
episodes, my question was, who the hell wants to rule over a

00:27:06
city full of the dead? Because my thing is, as easily

00:27:11
as Megan and Maggie and even Jenny got onto the island, it

00:27:16
has to be a way for them to get off.

00:27:18
You know what I'm saying? We see in the episode they have

00:27:22
been using speakers from the arena to lure the walkers to the

00:27:27
arena. They have a little parade card

00:27:30
going around playing music that's that's hurting the

00:27:33
walkers. So you can do that and get off

00:27:37
the island. Why would you want to stay

00:27:39
there? And then once he explained what

00:27:41
he has done, I was like, oh. That makes so much sense,

00:27:46
because right now that really does make you the most important

00:27:50
man. Period.

00:27:52
Yeah, but with all of that you have a one up.

00:27:56
No, you got a 10 up with everybody else.

00:27:59
But you going to go and take other people resources because

00:28:04
you have, you have I'm sorry, you have everything you need and

00:28:08
if you this smart y'all could be doing some farming on these

00:28:11
fucking rooftops and stuff and. You know irrigation system, you

00:28:17
could have this. But I guess part of the issue

00:28:19
with that is the building in such bad shape because of the

00:28:24
bombing. Because if you look, even when

00:28:26
when Jenny gets on the island and you see the structures, most

00:28:30
of the tops of those structures are damaged.

00:28:33
There are a lot of bodies in those buildings.

00:28:36
I mean we. Had but some buildings he was on

00:28:38
top of, you know, with his little ziplining system.

00:28:43
I don't think that's his. Zip line.

00:28:44
I'm thinking the tribes people put that together.

00:28:47
And then he kind of took over the area and then they planning

00:28:50
inside the building, you can make it work.

00:28:53
Yeah. You made.

00:28:56
If you want to. Power work, yeah, it may fight

00:29:01
and work. I was watching the the episode

00:29:04
insider at the end and the showrunner describes it as like.

00:29:11
The Croat kind of sees Megan not necessarily as a father figure,

00:29:16
but it does seem like he has that kind of attitude.

00:29:20
Like, oh dad, look at what I did.

00:29:22
And I really do feel like that. Like, like I said, it feels like

00:29:25
he kind of has a hero worship thing with Megan and I don't

00:29:30
know, maybe Megan casting him out and trying to kill him

00:29:34
instead of it making him upset and wanting to get revenge.

00:29:39
It's one of those things where he's like, I'm going to show him

00:29:43
I I can do it and I can do it better.

00:29:45
I'm going to prove to him that we can make a true sanctuary.

00:29:48
Because if if he knows enough about Herschel and Maggie to

00:29:53
know about Megan, you know what Megan has done.

00:29:56
And the fact that, oh, he lived amongst your mother's people,

00:30:00
that would have been after the the Croat left.

00:30:02
So obviously he's been keeping tags on Negan, so it's it's not

00:30:06
like he could he probably couldn't find Negan and kill him

00:30:10
at any particular time. Especially if Negan is not

00:30:13
thinking about the fact that the Crow Act might be out there just

00:30:16
waiting to kill him. It's been 1215 years, but it.

00:30:22
But you have to keep in mind not even thinking about crows.

00:30:25
They get the main so many enemies over the fucking years.

00:30:28
This is true. And then if you think about it

00:30:31
with with all of his people, I am Negan, you know, traveling

00:30:38
far and wide, I'm sure people all over you know it will at

00:30:42
least within the. Few.

00:30:44
State radios, I know, but that's.

00:30:50
I mean, come on, keep in mind, even 15 odd years later, Rick

00:30:56
Grimes name still rolling around.

00:30:59
They know about wars that have happened.

00:31:02
They. May not know names, but they

00:31:04
know they. Had no names, but they know that

00:31:06
there was a war. So not even just with the with

00:31:11
the Savior, there was a war with the.

00:31:13
With the whispers, whispers. So these wars are the word of

00:31:21
the war is being spread around, And who are the leaders of this

00:31:25
war? Because remember, Maggie's the

00:31:26
widow. You know, everybody has a

00:31:29
pseudonym of of what people call them, the the the widow, the

00:31:34
king, the what was Rick the sheriff, you know, all of these

00:31:38
things, so. Swammers are.

00:31:41
Traveling. And so it's like you had Megan

00:31:46
had hundreds of followers, hundreds.

00:31:51
And the same way, like Dwight and Sherry have left and move

00:31:54
on. I'm sure there are other people

00:31:56
that left and was like this ain't the life of me.

00:31:58
But so that name carries. And I'm sure you know, even with

00:32:03
Crowe at leaving, you know, even though you know Megan shot him

00:32:07
in the head, but you know even still that would have even if he

00:32:11
would have left voluntarily. There's something from that that

00:32:14
you took from it and you like, yeah, let me see what I can do.

00:32:17
So being Negan. Oh, please.

00:32:22
And. And at this time, they know

00:32:25
about The Circle and bashing somebody's head in.

00:32:28
You know, how many times have we heard that with not knowing who

00:32:31
it was. But you know, us as viewers, we

00:32:33
know that was Megan. But you know, people hear

00:32:36
stories because he'll even remember, probably even said

00:32:39
that there's a story that he did this.

00:32:41
And you know, in the Circle, how many, how long ago was that?

00:32:47
You know what I mean? So.

00:32:51
Yeah. So anyway, so the Crow ad is

00:32:54
telling Pearly about all of this, and he's trying to figure

00:32:57
out if Pearly is, you know, a threat or not.

00:32:59
He's like, what are you doing here?

00:33:01
What are you here for? Who did you bring with you?

00:33:03
And of course, Hurley, sitting there handcuffed to the balcony,

00:33:06
still with his frown looking like he's about to throw a

00:33:09
tantrum. And the Crow ad is.

00:33:12
Explaining all of this stuff and about how they have this thing

00:33:15
working and how, you know, systems are in place to make

00:33:18
sure that everybody stays safe and it's that and the other.

00:33:20
And as he's cutting into his beef Stew, he finds a maggot.

00:33:25
Now the guy who was sitting over to the side, who has been, you

00:33:29
know, who, who came in and set the place and made sure

00:33:32
everything was right, which, OK, sidebar real quick.

00:33:36
Why is it that whenever civilization starts over.

00:33:40
We feel the need to put people in servant positions.

00:33:43
Like, what is that? Okay?

00:33:46
That's one sidebar. And the fact that it was, you

00:33:48
know, I'm just glad it wasn't a black person, but it was an

00:33:51
Asian person, so I'm equally offended.

00:33:53
But that's a whole thing. But he couldn't have a white

00:33:56
white servant. That's a whole other thing.

00:33:59
So he basically takes out his anger about this.

00:34:04
On that guy, he's like, why would you serve me rotting me?

00:34:08
You know, if if you don't take care of the meat and you ingest

00:34:11
it, it's you know, it'll it'll decay in your body and then

00:34:15
it'll cause you to be sick. So he has this key to the

00:34:18
handcuffs that Pearly has and he's been kind of like teasing

00:34:22
this key. He gets up to go to this guy and

00:34:26
he picks up the key and he makes the guy swallow the key.

00:34:29
Now I'm sitting here looking like, why the fuck would you do

00:34:32
that? And then I realized, what's the

00:34:34
dude swallow the cows? Like, oh, your ass about to die.

00:34:37
That's why you take the meat, right?

00:34:39
So the Croat kills him and he throws his body over and Pearly

00:34:44
is just still sitting there looking like, what the fuck is

00:34:47
going like? Why would you do that?

00:34:49
And the Croat just looks at him like, And I was like, where is

00:34:53
this about to go? Because like.

00:34:56
Carla wasn't the one that tried to, well, that tried to give you

00:34:59
bad meat. I don't know if it was on

00:35:01
purpose or whatever, because when he asked, oh dude, he was

00:35:04
like, did you check the meat? So why would you serve me bad

00:35:08
meat? And the guy was about to say,

00:35:10
well, actually it was. So I think somebody else, man, I

00:35:14
I don't know, I'm not even about to.

00:35:15
Get too deep into that. I just think even if it wasn't

00:35:19
the worm, he would have found another reason to kill this man.

00:35:24
Because what would be the point of just having a dangling the

00:35:28
key around talk to you. I'm no because some kind of way

00:35:32
you wanted him to get in this ring and fight for.

00:35:35
It, right? I thought that too.

00:35:37
Like it, you know? What I mean?

00:35:38
He had the key ready, so you already knew that it was going

00:35:42
to be him anyway. It was.

00:35:43
Going to be a reason that it. Would, it happened, opened up

00:35:47
his house? Broly could have opened up his

00:35:49
mouth and said, oh, I just came to Manhattan to see if my

00:35:52
brother was still alive. I mean, he could have easily.

00:35:54
We we've been talking about this with you could have easily given

00:35:58
like a small lie, just like the people at the bar Y'all gave

00:36:03
yourselves away because of the way you acted and the way you

00:36:06
responded. Probably could have just said, I

00:36:10
just came to see if my brother was still alive.

00:36:13
He had the he had the envelope, which, you know.

00:36:17
The Croat finds later on it has a New York address on it.

00:36:22
So at least he wasn't lying and he could have said yeah, I went

00:36:26
to go find my brother blah blah blah the you know, he could

00:36:32
have. But like he said, I don't think

00:36:35
that was the Croats MO. He really wanted to see what

00:36:38
type of person Hurley was because if you look around it

00:36:43
looks like he collects people, which is the same thing that

00:36:46
Negan did. He wanted to see what kind of

00:36:49
metal you had, what what you were made of, and whether or not

00:36:53
you would be an asset to his crew.

00:36:55
Because, again, this is a zombie apocalypse.

00:36:59
We have a C we have heat, we have fresh meat.

00:37:03
Why would we share this with you if you're not going to

00:37:05
contribute? So I get that.

00:37:08
I get it. But the way he.

00:37:10
Everybody had to go through the gauntlet.

00:37:14
I don't think so. I don't.

00:37:17
Maybe not the people who were there with him at the beginning,

00:37:20
I don't know. But I mean, you have to.

00:37:24
I guess it depends on if he has to break you or not.

00:37:29
So if you're the type of person that looks like he you, you know

00:37:32
that you're a fighter and you may need to be broken down.

00:37:36
You see what I'm saying? If I'm I'm walking into

00:37:40
Manhattan and I just need some help, I don't think I will have

00:37:43
to do it. To prove myself.

00:37:47
Yeah, because I'm like, hey, I just need some shelter.

00:37:51
Help me. But I don't.

00:37:53
He also doesn't look like the. Type of person.

00:37:55
Who's going to give it to you for free?

00:37:57
No, no, I mean, I'm going to do something, you know, I'm going

00:38:01
to get bodies and throw them in the, you know, the tank and

00:38:04
stuff, so. But the way that he, I guess,

00:38:10
proves. Curly's medal is, he takes him

00:38:13
downstairs where the arena is and it's so weird to see all of

00:38:16
his people, like chanting. Like this is how people act when

00:38:20
they go to a real MMA. You know, they're sitting there

00:38:24
cheering and whatever, like, what are they about to do?

00:38:28
He puts Curly in the cage and there is a pole in the middle

00:38:33
and he, you know, he handcuffs him around that pole so he can't

00:38:36
move. Then the dude that he just made

00:38:39
swallow the key and threw over the balcony.

00:38:44
He puts his Walker in the cage with Pearly.

00:38:48
So Pearly has to fight. And I was like, okay, I don't

00:38:52
know how this is going to work because Pearly is.

00:38:57
He's still sitting there frowning mad and I'm like, dude,

00:39:01
just just wipe, wipe your face blank and just do what you need

00:39:05
to do. So Pearly uses the handcuffs

00:39:09
when the guy comes back towards him and he has him up against

00:39:14
the pole. He uses the handcuffs to wrap

00:39:16
around his neck and he decapitates him and then he

00:39:20
looks at the crow at like, OK let me out and the crow at is

00:39:23
looking at him like, but is that all you got to do?

00:39:27
I was looking at the look at his face he was like he looks at him

00:39:31
and. You thought it was going to be

00:39:32
that easy? Right, right.

00:39:35
So then I think there were some people throwing like bottles and

00:39:39
stuff at Pearly because I guess they wanted the Walker to win.

00:39:43
I don't know. Or or no.

00:39:45
You know how always in the fight well that was that was over

00:39:48
quick like you ain't. Yeah, you be mad you like they

00:39:51
get their money was worth. Like they they know money's

00:39:54
worth. Money.

00:39:57
And then I forgot to mention the fact that before he threw Pearly

00:40:00
in there, he made him inhale some of the methane gas so that

00:40:04
he was a little bit high, low, whatever you want to call it.

00:40:08
Things slowed down a little bit for him, but Pearly takes one of

00:40:14
the broken bottles and he cuts into Dude's stomach and then

00:40:19
starts digging for the key. I was like, okay, you know what?

00:40:22
I will say this for Dead City. They are trying to up the ante

00:40:27
on the grossness in The Walking Dead universe because there have

00:40:32
been several times during this series and we're only three

00:40:35
episodes in where I've had to watch and be like, oh with my

00:40:38
face covered, looking through my fingers.

00:40:41
Like, is this over yet? Because that's disgusting.

00:40:45
What you think we will be used to considering we saw Rick.

00:40:50
Pack open a Walker and put his guts all over him.

00:40:54
Oh, this should be easy. Several.

00:40:56
Times. Several times you would think

00:41:00
this would be easier, but no, this was just gross.

00:41:03
And I think it it maybe it was the whole thing of you having to

00:41:06
go in the man's stomach. Because I'm sorry, they did that

00:41:10
once before with Darrell when he was trying, when he took apart

00:41:14
that Walker to see if that Walker had Sophia in his stomach

00:41:17
or, you know, humorous. That again.

00:41:22
But we've had a lot of gross walkers.

00:41:24
Remember the Will Walker? We.

00:41:25
Have a. Lot of gross ones we have.

00:41:32
So you would think I would be used to this by now, but no,

00:41:35
it's still gross even though you're the ones that had the

00:41:38
radiation with all the puss in the, you know we just they try

00:41:43
to be gory and nasty, just gross.

00:41:47
But Pearly has to go into this thing's stomach to get the key

00:41:53
to get himself out. But the interesting thing about

00:41:56
it was after he killed that first Walker and he gets free,

00:42:01
they put more walkers in the cage with him.

00:42:05
So he goes over to the side and he tries to take his boot off

00:42:10
and he thinks better of it and switches to the other boot and

00:42:14
takes the other boot off and starts, you know.

00:42:17
Mollywapping the the walkers. Which is cool, but at this point

00:42:22
the crow ad is very observant and so he has paid attention to

00:42:27
the fact that oh what that first boot off what's in there?

00:42:33
And I don't know if he thought maybe it was a weapon or

00:42:36
something like that, which it could be.

00:42:38
I mean, think about Maggie's boots and what she stores in

00:42:41
them. So it could have been a weapon,

00:42:43
it could have been something else.

00:42:45
But all the Croat does is he finds the letter that Hurley's

00:42:51
brother wrote to him, and then he starts reading the letter out

00:42:55
loud. And this is where we find out

00:43:00
that Mister High and Mighty Mr. Righteous and always so

00:43:04
righteous with folks because you had a brother that was addicted

00:43:11
to drugs. And y'all your whole family

00:43:16
abandoned him. Like, abandoned him to the point

00:43:21
where he was like, I don't know why it took me so long to

00:43:26
realize that you all had changed your phone numbers.

00:43:30
I was like, like, did he kill somebody while he was on the

00:43:34
drugs? Obviously not, because he was

00:43:36
free. So you just so you just disown

00:43:40
your brother. Because he was a.

00:43:42
Because he was a junkie and the way that he reacted.

00:43:48
We don't know the the. Yeah, because it could be some

00:43:51
other stuff that happened, yeah. I mean, I get that, but just the

00:43:57
way that he reacted when the crow was reading that letter, I

00:44:01
was like, yeah, you got some heavy guilt.

00:44:04
Something is going on. Like your brother was in that

00:44:07
apartment by himself for a reason.

00:44:11
And guilt that, you know, you didn't get to say what you

00:44:14
needed to say at the end, you know, because they probably did

00:44:19
it so he could go get help and not always depend like, oh, I'm

00:44:22
going to get better this time and then for a second and then

00:44:25
he steals something out the house and make promises and then

00:44:28
they send them back. So they sometimes you have to

00:44:30
make a clear cut. So they can get better, but it

00:44:34
was at the wrong time, You know, you don't ever think the world's

00:44:36
going to end, too at the same time.

00:44:38
So you don't think that. Yeah, you're thinking, okay,

00:44:41
they're going, yeah, you're going to get some help.

00:44:43
And then we will, you know, get him back.

00:44:45
Yeah. Yeah.

00:44:47
But the interesting thing about this whole exchange is because

00:44:51
Pearly doesn't want to listen to the rest of the letter.

00:44:55
He blurts out to the crow act. He was like, it's just me, I'm

00:44:58
here by myself. I'm looking for someone.

00:45:00
I had two partners, They're both dead.

00:45:03
And the crow act very like, very sensibly says who is worth

00:45:10
following here, Like who is so important, who is so deadly, who

00:45:16
is so whatever, that you will follow them to this cesspool of

00:45:21
death. And Pearly says his name is me.

00:45:25
And the Croats face is like, oh, Daddy's here.

00:45:30
I was just like, because he looked a little too happy about

00:45:36
the fact that me was there. Not necessarily happy.

00:45:39
Like, oh, I'm about to kill him. It was, oh, I'm about to show

00:45:43
him what I did. I'm about to show him all of

00:45:45
this. There was elation, right?

00:45:51
So. We don't leave.

00:45:52
We don't leave the crow at because we got to go talk about

00:45:56
Maggie and Megan and the tribes people and all the shit that's

00:45:59
going down with them. I know, I know.

00:46:05
First of all. I was going to say, are you

00:46:08
going to say it or am I going to say it?

00:46:12
Because Jenny ain't the only one who needed women right now.

00:46:15
I feel like everybody's. Acting bad like everybody but.

00:46:21
The number one acting bad was fucking Luther, and at the end

00:46:26
of the day, Luther kind of got what he deserved because you

00:46:29
shouldn't have been a Dick. This was just let the man find

00:46:33
out. Get.

00:46:33
Some fucking beeswax for his hand, like just little.

00:46:38
Have it. Just just give him a little bit.

00:46:41
Give him a little bit. Now I will say this.

00:46:45
And after we see what happens at the end with Luther, I feel like

00:46:49
he was acting that way because he already knew about the

00:46:51
poster. And then of course, listening to

00:46:55
Megan and Megan give their own kind of accounts about this big

00:46:59
shit. I just had a revelation.

00:47:02
Oh. Where do you get the fucking

00:47:05
poster from? Remember, he took their stuff.

00:47:09
Remember in the beginning when they first found Maggie and

00:47:11
Negan? They Oh yeah, he got it out of

00:47:14
Maggie's bag. Or out of Negan's because I

00:47:17
don't remember Negan what and he.

00:47:18
Has his own wanted poster. Yes.

00:47:20
Remember the first episode? He was like, for a wanted man.

00:47:23
I look damn good. I'm going to keep.

00:47:24
I thought he was just. I thought he was just looking.

00:47:27
At Maggie's? No, he he said he was going to

00:47:29
keep that poster because he looked good in it.

00:47:33
OK, so either way Luther stole it from from them.

00:47:37
Yeah. So he So that makes sense in

00:47:41
hindsight. But of course before that it's

00:47:44
kind of like, why are you being a Dick about it.

00:47:45
But I will say this too, even though he knew about Megan or

00:47:51
suspected, especially once Megan starts talking about the, you

00:47:55
know, the story about the guy who went South.

00:47:57
And then when Maggie was like, yeah, whatever it was that they

00:48:00
suggested, she was like, yeah, that's what he would do.

00:48:03
He and the Croat go way back. And Luther was like, oh, so

00:48:06
their friend, she was like were. He tried to kill him.

00:48:09
He shot his ear off. So you know, she was at least

00:48:12
putting that out there. Like, no, he's not with this

00:48:14
dude now. But I would say this too.

00:48:17
Maggie was not helping the situation because Amaya and

00:48:22
Tomasso are trying to help. And I get that for for whatever

00:48:28
reasons. Right now, I think for Amaya

00:48:31
it's about revenge, because they came into their place and killed

00:48:34
their people. And she's pissed, rightly so.

00:48:38
Luther is the one that's like, we're going to help.

00:48:40
Y'all we're not doing this shit. We did not really voted about

00:48:43
it. And then when he tells Maggie,

00:48:45
he was like, you're going to get us killed.

00:48:47
And for what she was like for my son, so I could say my son, I

00:48:50
was like, and how is that his problem?

00:48:53
That's, I get it, Maggie trying to right.

00:48:58
You were trying to save your son.

00:49:00
These people who live here, they don't owe you.

00:49:04
Shit. What would be with Luther?

00:49:07
Like why the fuck am I about to risk my life to help you save

00:49:10
your son? The one that said what Luther

00:49:14
said as far as your son is already, didn't know because I'm

00:49:17
sorry. Luther might be big, but the way

00:49:20
Maggie was looking at him, I didn't feel like if hadn't

00:49:24
killed Luther, Maggie probably would have.

00:49:27
But then you can't expect people to risk their lives for your

00:49:32
son. Right.

00:49:34
Give you a Sinai. Okay.

00:49:36
MM, HM Well, here's some supplies.

00:49:39
Go for it. But I don't know you or your

00:49:43
kid, right? And I've already lost some of my

00:49:47
people, a whole bunch of my people.

00:49:53
And none of that was, let's be honest, none of that.

00:49:58
Is the thing we always say about our people in The Walking Dead.

00:50:01
They had a lost people and they hadn't gotten raided before Nick

00:50:04
and Emmanuel walked in the door I.

00:50:07
Mean. No, they they had been raided

00:50:10
before, but the girl didn't know it was me and the Maggie that

00:50:14
came with. It it's them, it's them.

00:50:16
Because that's why I used to say about Rick.

00:50:18
Rick comes into town, you just know your your little community

00:50:22
is over. Is is done?

00:50:23
Yes. They bring, they bring the fire.

00:50:27
They do. They do.

00:50:29
If they don't like anything, we don't like how y'all wash

00:50:32
clothes. They take it over.

00:50:36
Remember Rick's line? How many of y'all do we have to

00:50:38
kill before you see? They didn't do it on.

00:50:43
Purpose. Not always they did.

00:50:46
But every time they approached somebody else's space and they

00:50:50
didn't care for it, and it'd be something small, sometimes they

00:50:53
didn't care for it. It's like we take it over.

00:50:57
But I would, I mean, I have to say this too, for a long time,

00:51:04
Rick and his people survived and others didn't.

00:51:07
So they obviously were doing something right.

00:51:10
I mean, yes, you. Right.

00:51:11
Because they killed him. Yeah, they killed him.

00:51:16
Man, let's go, let's go back to that whole lack of humanity

00:51:19
thing. There's a big ass wide world out

00:51:22
there and about 80% of the population are gone.

00:51:26
Why are you fighting over this one little piece of man here?

00:51:30
I mean, it is honest truth. Though in my house right now, if

00:51:35
we have a zombie apocalypse and someone comes on the door

00:51:37
knocking and they say, hey, we want your house, guess what?

00:51:40
It's a townhouse subdivision right here.

00:51:43
There's three apartment complexes down the street.

00:51:47
You want, you know what? You want this.

00:51:49
You got it. I'm gonna go find my own shit

00:51:52
because I ain't got time for this.

00:51:55
I don't. I I'm not going to sit here and

00:51:58
survive zombies just to be killed by another motherfucker.

00:52:02
Who gonna be greedy and want to assert some dominance?

00:52:06
What time for that? Because there's plenty it.

00:52:09
I mean it's it's actually plenty of space for everyone.

00:52:14
Because it's more dead than lie. It's more dead than live, so

00:52:18
there's more commercial space, residential space.

00:52:25
And and if you've scavenged everything out of your area, go

00:52:29
somewhere else, yeah? Move like everybody else did.

00:52:33
Make map. Check this area, this area.

00:52:36
We went here, We scavenged it. Because I feel like once you

00:52:39
got, if you get the mall situated, that could be one full

00:52:43
community right there. And I know.

00:52:49
Each doors, each the small stores can be families living in

00:52:52
there. You just have to close your gate

00:52:54
in the evening. Just say somebody and your

00:52:55
family turned into one from just being sick or something like

00:52:59
that. A heart attack.

00:53:00
You know what I mean? I mean, they thought.

00:53:03
I mean, think about it. They actually.

00:53:04
Food court can cook the food, heat up stuff.

00:53:08
They did that. If you're The Walking Dead,

00:53:09
remember they found them all and they thought it was going to be

00:53:12
a place for them. Yeah.

00:53:15
So that somebody was following them.

00:53:17
So I'm like, we can't, we have everyone can have their own

00:53:19
little space. Just take the time and develop

00:53:22
your space. Don't try to take my space

00:53:24
because I took my time to develop it.

00:53:29
Right now. You want to take it, take my

00:53:31
resources, my people. Right.

00:53:34
But going back to the group and and with Megan Negan now.

00:53:41
Like we said, Maggie's sitting here.

00:53:42
She's automatically assuming that just.

00:53:45
And I think I I think the problem is, and I know a lot of

00:53:51
parents do it, is that we place our children's existence above

00:53:57
everyone else. We prioritize it above everyone

00:54:00
else. And then we get mad when other

00:54:03
people don't prioritize it because we're like, but they're

00:54:06
a kid. Yeah, but they're not my kid,

00:54:08
you know? And.

00:54:09
And. Right.

00:54:11
And I mean, even in this day and age, now you have it where

00:54:15
parents feel entitled for their children to do or say whatever.

00:54:21
And then the people who don't have children for whatever

00:54:24
reason, whether they couldn't have or they don't want to have

00:54:27
children, they're expected to make concessions for these

00:54:32
parents and these children just because, oh, they're children,

00:54:36
OK, But that's your child. You know what I'm saying?

00:54:40
Even, and even more so with with this world.

00:54:44
And that's like, remember the man on the plane with the baby

00:54:47
who was holler? Did the baby pay more to holler?

00:54:49
Like like that? Like come?

00:54:54
Right. I mean, and I can understand

00:54:58
getting upset about being inconvenienced, but for someone

00:55:02
to be like, well, that's a baby, you know, like going to the

00:55:05
movies. I'm sorry.

00:55:06
I understand. Parents, get out.

00:55:10
Get up, get out and half. Fly through drops.

00:55:13
I drive in. Right, because when my child I

00:55:16
don't want. To hear your baby screaming.

00:55:18
No, and I ain't pay for that. Exactly.

00:55:21
So I I do feel that, and I I mean.

00:55:24
And it's okay if you miss the movie, Don't make us miss the

00:55:26
movie. You get up and take them out

00:55:28
into the lobby. Exactly.

00:55:30
And I'm saying this as a mother of.

00:55:32
Three. Me too.

00:55:33
My children were back-to-back two years, two years and, you

00:55:36
know, four years apart. So I was going to the movies a

00:55:39
lot of times with three, three very small children.

00:55:42
If my children started acting up, first of all, you know, back

00:55:46
then we were still giving spankings, we were still giving

00:55:49
them, you better shut your mouth, blah, blah, blah, blah,

00:55:51
blah, blah. And my kids, thankfully, they

00:55:55
never cut up like that because they were at the movies.

00:55:58
They were like, ooh, we're at the movies.

00:56:01
And that I said. Me too.

00:56:02
But not a mother of three. I just had one.

00:56:05
But. But take me to the movies, so I.

00:56:08
Will we will go? Right.

00:56:10
We will go late when she was sleep too, right it is be

00:56:14
sleeping in there while we watch the movies.

00:56:15
I go sometimes at the midnight 10:00 o'clock, but so here

00:56:20
Maggie, expecting them to like all of them to put like up

00:56:24
literally says. You're going to get us killed.

00:56:27
And for what? So I can get my son back?

00:56:30
Look at my people? What task is keeping them alive?

00:56:38
This is my priority. Fuck about you and this Croat or

00:56:42
whatever. I'm trying to keep the rest of

00:56:44
my people alive. And I think that's a lot to ask

00:56:48
for people you just met. Right.

00:56:52
You are better off saying do you have an issue with this guy?

00:56:55
Maybe we can work together that you can get what you want and I

00:56:58
can get what I want, which is my son.

00:57:00
Not even just. People that you met.

00:57:03
People that you met and lied to about why you were there in the

00:57:05
first place. True, because you should have

00:57:07
came out with that when you first got there.

00:57:08
I'm trying to get my son back. Do you have a problem with this

00:57:11
person? We can work together, but you

00:57:14
basically like, I don't. But she has.

00:57:16
When she says it, she says it in a way that she basically says, I

00:57:20
don't care if you die as long as I get my son.

00:57:26
So. But.

00:57:30
When she goes off to the side because again, Luther says you

00:57:34
know your son is already dead, I don't know why you're not

00:57:36
admitting it. And Negan basically has to step

00:57:39
in and be like, OK, everybody take 5 minutes, take, take five

00:57:43
and she kind of goes off into a different room.

00:57:47
She rummages through her backpack and she pulls out this

00:57:50
10 canister and when she opens it up, she has photos there's a

00:57:58
photo of. Her family on the farm, there's

00:58:03
a photo of a woman and a baby, and looking at the photograph,

00:58:07
obviously it's not her and Herschel, because where would

00:58:10
she have gotten the film developed?

00:58:11
It looked like that might have been maybe her as a baby with

00:58:15
her mother and. Then she pulls.

00:58:17
Out a drawing of Glen, a very good drawing of Glen.

00:58:22
Now here's my question again. Here we go with with asking

00:58:26
questions that don't quite make sense.

00:58:29
So we know that Maggie left behind everything from the farm.

00:58:34
We know they've kind of lived a nomadic life.

00:58:38
I know that she went to her grandparents house with Herschel

00:58:43
when she first left the group, so she could have gotten the

00:58:46
photos from there. But you mean to tell me that in

00:58:51
between the different communities where she has been

00:58:54
running for her life because the communities got raided and then

00:58:58
she's been on the run, and then with the common worth and

00:59:00
everything. You mean to tell me she kept up

00:59:02
with all of that most. Of it was a little 10.

00:59:07
She put back her pocket, in her side pocket, in her back pocket.

00:59:16
Yeah, but first of all, how she get the drawing of Glee?

00:59:19
That's my next question. Who Drew Glenn because?

00:59:24
Yep, sketch artist is one in the hilltop.

00:59:27
It needs to be somebody who that, that.

00:59:30
I'm sorry, I understand what y'all are saying.

00:59:32
Sketch artist. Yeah, you can describe a person

00:59:35
to him. Whatever.

00:59:36
That picture felt very personal. That's somebody who knew his

00:59:43
face. So who drew that?

00:59:45
She drew to picture? I don't know.

00:59:48
It could have been her. Maybe Carol, maybe Darryl.

00:59:53
Who else knew who? And we never saw the artistry.

00:59:56
Well, I mean, now we're kind of on the run for a long time

00:59:59
because I said they wanted him to say space to drunk because

01:00:02
even though Alexandria gets Kittles and.

01:00:05
Yeah, because even in Alexandria they had they they weren't safe

01:00:09
there for very long before the Saviors came knocking.

01:00:13
Yeah, but Carol was able to make some great ass cookies.

01:00:18
If she was drawn, she could draw it on.

01:00:19
The in the evening time when it was nice and quiet while we're

01:00:22
reading stories. Because I think even then,

01:00:25
Alexandra, that's still too fresh because they were living

01:00:29
there when all of that happened. So that might.

01:00:31
Right, so it has to. It just could have been somebody

01:00:35
at the hilltop. It really could have.

01:00:37
Been let's see Eugene. It could have been, could have

01:00:40
been, I don't know, it could have been Aaron, could have been

01:00:43
somebody. But I'm just saying it was.

01:00:47
It was a very nice portrait and I'm like, y'all got to start

01:00:50
warning the sister when y'all are going to like really tug at

01:00:53
the heartstrings because I was, I'm going to be honest, I was

01:00:58
not expecting to see Glenn physically in the show.

01:01:04
Now we've already seen the flashbacks of the circle, which

01:01:07
again, I was not expecting. I don't need y'all to show me

01:01:10
that shit again. And then we see this very

01:01:12
beautiful drawing of him. I was like, y'all y'all can't

01:01:16
keep, y'all can't keep doing this.

01:01:20
But anyway, so Negan comes in to talk to her and I find it.

01:01:28
I find it funny, but I also find it very sweet in a way that he's

01:01:32
just kind of like. I think in the back of me is

01:01:36
mine. He knows that Maggie would

01:01:38
probably kill him if she if she had to have if if there was a

01:01:41
choice, she probably would. But the fact, I think that he is

01:01:46
still trying to make peace with her, her or at least just kind

01:01:52
of call a a truce while they have to do what they have to do

01:01:55
to save Herschel. Again, I find that very telling

01:02:01
of the person that he is as opposed to this person that

01:02:05
people keep thinking that they want him to be.

01:02:09
You know, it's like he comes in with this baseball cap and he

01:02:12
was like, hey, I found this in one of the stores.

01:02:17
I remember that first. She used to have one like it.

01:02:19
I thought you might be able to give it to him when you saw him

01:02:21
again. And it's so weird because Maggie

01:02:25
is looking at him like, like. She still wants to be mad at

01:02:30
him. But you can't.

01:02:32
You can't really hate somebody who is actively trying to be

01:02:37
nice. And I feel like it's genuine on

01:02:39
his part. I don't think Megan expects them

01:02:42
to be friends. I don't think he expects, even

01:02:45
expects her to forgive him. But I think he's just like, hey,

01:02:50
we don't always have to be at each other's throats.

01:02:52
That's not going to help us get your son, you know?

01:02:56
And he's just trying to find a way to connect with her to be

01:02:58
like, okay. Look, we got to meet on some

01:03:01
kind of level in order to do what we need to do because, one,

01:03:06
you're not going to save your son fighting with these other

01:03:09
people. And two, we definitely can't

01:03:12
save your son if we are not on the same page.

01:03:15
Like we've been talking about the last couple episodes you

01:03:18
came and got me. So at least let me try to be

01:03:23
what I need to be for you. To help you get through this so

01:03:27
you can get to your son. I like seeing that side of him.

01:03:31
And you know, even when he comes to her, he was like, look,

01:03:34
Luther is wrong. Herschel.

01:03:36
Herschel will be fine. He's still alive.

01:03:39
You just got to come up with a plan.

01:03:41
What's your plan? And what did he say?

01:03:43
He said contrary, contrary to popular belief, I can't shut up.

01:03:48
And he literally goes over and sits in front of her to listen.

01:03:53
And she does open up to him a little bit.

01:03:55
She was like the day that the crow act came for our grain.

01:03:58
I told Herschel to hide in a root cellar, You know, she said

01:04:03
at that point he would have went right if I told him to go left,

01:04:08
you know, So it was so we already know that there's been

01:04:11
tension between her and Herschel.

01:04:12
We still don't know why. But she's basically telling him

01:04:17
that, you know, he went to go get a stick and a brick like

01:04:20
that was going to do something. I called him stupid.

01:04:23
He told me to get off his damn back and those were the last

01:04:25
words we said to each other. So now, OK, you know, on top of

01:04:30
just her being scared of her son being gone, she also has his

01:04:36
guilt because that was the last thing she said to him.

01:04:39
And if something happens to him, or even if something happens to

01:04:42
her. That's the last thing he's going

01:04:45
to remember, so of course she's worried about that.

01:04:48
So then Negan opens up and finally gives us the answers

01:04:53
we've all been wondering since episode one.

01:04:58
First of all, we know that he and Annie had a son named

01:05:01
Joshua, and that they were living in a cabin outside of New

01:05:07
Babylon. New Babylon, he said.

01:05:11
Annie went into town. To trade.

01:05:15
And by the evening time when she didn't come back, I knew

01:05:18
something was wrong. I went and looked for her.

01:05:21
I found her. And when I found her she had

01:05:24
been robbed and beaten and and he just kind of looks away

01:05:28
uncomfortably so we can all kind of, you know, fill that in.

01:05:32
And he was like Annie told me not to go do anything stupid but

01:05:37
you know me. I went and found them.

01:05:39
All five of them, And he said. And I don't even think I meant

01:05:42
to kill them or I don't think I wanted to kill them.

01:05:45
I was like, oh, OK, that's sometimes that's worse.

01:05:49
Because when you're mad. Right.

01:05:52
You went in there mad and you like, oh, I'm not going to kill

01:05:54
him. And you probably did worse to

01:05:57
them, which would. Especially depending on what

01:06:00
they were saying, cuz like if they were had no voice about it

01:06:04
and they were like. Teasing him about it, but this

01:06:09
is OK. Here's the other thing, and

01:06:11
y'all know I said something about this in the first episode

01:06:14
about Harley Armstrong and his oh so righteous ways and oh, you

01:06:19
killed some marshals and stuff. So if these are the five people

01:06:24
that Negan is wanted for, you basically telling me that your

01:06:27
lawmen are robbers, they're abusers, possibly rapists.

01:06:35
Yeah, you want to catch me again and hang him upside down and saw

01:06:40
him down the middle from going to head again?

01:06:47
Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed.

01:06:50
You still got dirty cops. You still got people who feel

01:06:54
like that badge makes them untouchable.

01:06:58
Because I'm like that part, like.

01:07:01
Hurley is so focused on finding Negan.

01:07:03
Did you ever stop to think, OK, maybe there's a reason why he

01:07:06
did this. Nope, I know he.

01:07:10
Yeah, I would say he's not. He's not.

01:07:11
He's not paying attention. He's not stopping to think about

01:07:14
it. You can tell that hell, just

01:07:16
from the first scene from when he first introduced into the

01:07:20
show, he ain't give a fuck. He don't care about none of

01:07:22
that. So Megan says that after after

01:07:27
he killed the guys, they were on the run a lot.

01:07:29
But it was very hard on Annie and I was just sitting here like

01:07:34
how how bad did they hurt her? Like, you know, I'm just, I'm

01:07:42
like okay, I I. I have a couple of I have a

01:07:48
couple of issues. Okay we going to go back one.

01:07:53
Why they're not at the Commonwealth.

01:07:55
I mean, I don't understand. He helped saved it.

01:07:58
They could have been one of the outposts for Commonwealth, just

01:08:02
living a good life. She could have been still.

01:08:04
They could still be helping the people that they found and had

01:08:08
helped in the apartment. Why go off to live in a little

01:08:12
cabin outside of New Babylon? I want more information on that.

01:08:16
Because we're pretending. I feel like we're pretending

01:08:20
that the Commonwealth don't exist.

01:08:24
But it does exist because we don't, we don't mention it

01:08:28
because it's like even with Hilltop, because Hilltop said

01:08:31
that they want to get resources to rebuild.

01:08:34
But she couldn't rebuild, so she had to move Hilltop, like, where

01:08:37
are these people leaving? Is Commonwealth bad again?

01:08:40
I'm just wondering. I'm just curious.

01:08:42
I don't think it would be with Ezekiel and Mercer leading.

01:08:46
Yeah, I'm just saying that, but. I think that goes back to one.

01:08:50
It could have been that. Maybe Negan and Annie were there

01:08:55
for a while, and then Maggie. So we know at the end of the we

01:09:01
know at the end of The Walking Dead, Maggie and Negan have this

01:09:04
conversation and she basically tells him I can't forgive you,

01:09:09
but I can see that you are not the same person you know she

01:09:13
was. Like, if you and Annie want to

01:09:14
stay, y'all can, You've earned it.

01:09:19
But maybe. And and this goes back to us

01:09:23
talking about Maggie and her. Her lack of development or her

01:09:26
lack of being able to put this behind her.

01:09:29
Maybe they got to be too much. But she's at Hilltop.

01:09:33
You still got Oceanside? Man, you asked a question.

01:09:37
I'm trying to. I'm just trying to talk it

01:09:41
through. Even if you are at Hilltop Okay

01:09:46
right now, all of your communities, y'all are back in

01:09:48
this whole. Trading thing.

01:09:51
You got Alexander people here, you got some here, you got some

01:09:54
here. Now, we know a lot of the people

01:09:58
who knew Negan still didn't like him too much.

01:10:02
Maybe it got to a point where they started treating him like

01:10:06
okay. You know what?

01:10:08
He's not the he's not the same bad guy anymore.

01:10:12
If they started showing him a little mercy, a little grace, a

01:10:15
little bit of, you know, okay, I'm going to give a little here.

01:10:19
Maybe that was too much for Maggie to take.

01:10:22
And she was like, okay, I can't be, you know what I'm saying?

01:10:25
That could be very well, yeah. But Maggie not going.

01:10:29
Maggie's not going to the Commonwealth.

01:10:32
I can see her staying at Hilltop, and there's so much

01:10:35
more Commonwealth people who don't know nothing about them.

01:10:38
Or maybe some stories I just feel like with the son.

01:10:42
It's really a plot device, I know, because we got to get him

01:10:45
closer to New Babylon and for all this stuff to happen, to put

01:10:48
him in the right place, her in the right place to meet up so he

01:10:51
can help her save her son. I get that.

01:10:53
But let's really talk that through because we want we're

01:10:57
going to stay in Commonwealth, we're going to stay in

01:10:59
Commonwealth, especially while she's pregnant to keep up with

01:11:02
her prenatals and delivery. Then you have a kid, you want to

01:11:06
stay around us so they can get they shots.

01:11:09
And whatever they need to go through through this childhood,

01:11:12
they. Were part of outreach for the

01:11:14
Commonwealth. Maybe they were like, OK, we're

01:11:16
going to expand here. We're going to expand there.

01:11:18
I mean, that's not unheard of now I can go with that.

01:11:22
But they needed to mention that. But the thing with Maggie, I

01:11:25
feel like because Maggie has left the group before again.

01:11:30
I don't see that this would be something outside of normal for

01:11:33
her, for her to just up and be like, oh, OK, well, we can't

01:11:37
make Hilltop work here, so we're going to take it way over here.

01:11:40
And then she took her son with her.

01:11:42
That could be a reason why her. I I did that with Maggie because

01:11:47
she she she's not planning her roots anywhere.

01:11:50
I I I understand that at all. She I don't think she wants to.

01:11:55
No, I'm not saying that she don't want to.

01:11:56
I think she can't do that right now, OK?

01:12:00
But as far as I think for her movement, I think movement and

01:12:04
going somewhere to start a fresh she needed that, but it is so

01:12:08
that it helped her yet so. What we found out from him is

01:12:17
after all of that, when they're doing all the moving around

01:12:19
because he's on the run, he said.

01:12:21
It's it's hard for her. So what?

01:12:24
He no, I was talking about Maggie moving, but I get back

01:12:26
to, I get back to this one. Yeah, no, I'm finishing my

01:12:29
answer for it for me and Annie. He when he talks about he says

01:12:34
that it got hard for Annie. So what he did was he put them

01:12:39
on a wagon train to the jewelry and he told them that he will

01:12:43
follow them, but he never did because he didn't want his

01:12:47
troubles following after them. You know he wanted them safe.

01:12:53
So I feel like if the. I don't think if she was in that

01:12:57
kind of a vulnerable, vulnerable position.

01:13:00
I don't see Megan putting him. I mean, putting her and their

01:13:04
son on a train wagon with people they don't know, with people

01:13:09
going to make sure that they're protected.

01:13:11
So maybe, you know, again, maybe.

01:13:14
That was part of the Commonwealth.

01:13:16
Like, oh, OK, we're going to expand out because again, let's

01:13:20
go back to the whole thing. If you stay in one area for long

01:13:23
enough, one you've exhausted all the game you've exhausted.

01:13:27
A lot of the resources, you've exhausted most of the places,

01:13:30
yeah. And they were doing that

01:13:31
already. They were doing that already

01:13:33
again, they got, they had fresh hair pieces.

01:13:37
So they know what resources, they know where to go, you know

01:13:42
what I'm saying? They had a wrestling, you know,

01:13:44
wrestling pit. They know where to go for their

01:13:47
resources. Okay, they had a lot of machine.

01:13:51
I mean they knew where to go. Okay, Commonwealth.

01:13:55
They were expanding. I just again.

01:13:59
It's the wig maker for me. Feel like I just don't feel like

01:14:06
they will go until cabin. If he has said that, it would

01:14:09
make more sense. They they were doing something

01:14:13
and OK, and then here's my second point that I have an

01:14:15
issue with and then I'm done, OK, Knowing Negan's past and

01:14:22
what happened with Lucille, I still don't buy in his character

01:14:29
him leaving his wife and child. I mean you can come up with the

01:14:34
reasons why I don't want this to follow.

01:14:35
We were running because you can run across country.

01:14:38
This new Babylon sheriff shit is only in this area right here

01:14:44
because there's other areas that have other sheriffs and other

01:14:47
things and they not communicating clearly.

01:14:49
We know that. But his character, that is not

01:14:53
what he want to do. If you had told me if he has

01:14:56
said she left him because of what he did.

01:15:02
I would have bought that. That's more.

01:15:03
Belief. I kind of think.

01:15:05
I kind of think in a way he sent them away because of what he

01:15:09
did, because he didn't. It's different when you're

01:15:12
dealing with another adult because another adult can look

01:15:15
at things rationally and say, OK, I understand why he did

01:15:19
this. I mean, think about it.

01:15:20
And he knew what he had done to Glenn and Abraham and all the

01:15:24
other stuff that he did. And she still fell in love with

01:15:27
him. And she still actually ran with

01:15:29
him when they were moving. She just got tired of doing it

01:15:32
right. But when you have a child and

01:15:38
one you are trying to distance yourself from that person.

01:15:41
You used to be that violent person.

01:15:43
Now who knows when he had to go kill those five men.

01:15:47
Maybe that awakens something to him.

01:15:49
The the, the, the hesitance. The hesitancy and the fear that

01:15:53
we've seen in this episode. And he was like, I don't want my

01:15:57
son to see this. Right.

01:16:00
But I still don't agree that he would have left them.

01:16:02
I'm just saying the character. But you have to keep in mind,

01:16:07
because I said the same thing about Michonne, because what

01:16:10
would make you leave your two kids?

01:16:13
You know what I mean? And there has to be something.

01:16:16
But see, it's easier. Because she already had the

01:16:20
trauma of her original kids, but they have a a big support system

01:16:25
and she's trying to bring the dad back home.

01:16:28
So that'll be like Annie leaving their child to bring Negan back

01:16:31
home. But Negan been through so much,

01:16:33
I just feel, felt like two things should have happened once

01:16:36
you left him or something happened to them that would make

01:16:40
more sense it. Makes sense to me that he would

01:16:43
let them. Go.

01:16:47
That let he let go that one time and came back and stuff

01:16:52
happened. But see, that was something that

01:16:55
was beyond his control. I understand that he could

01:16:58
control and he could control, but not knowing, I just don't

01:17:03
feel like that's in his new character now.

01:17:07
But that's just, you know, I'm just saying that's just how I

01:17:09
felt like. But a lot of their choices is

01:17:12
some stuff that I don't. So the Maggie's choices is not

01:17:16
in her character, but I know it's again to set up.

01:17:19
We don't need him with a child right now and the wife to worry

01:17:22
about why she's while he's helping Maggie.

01:17:27
But yeah, he has. But they couldn't speaking.

01:17:30
He has a child. So.

01:17:32
Right. And then put yourself, you see

01:17:34
what I'm saying? Because you going to go meet

01:17:36
with them later on maybe are you?

01:17:38
So you just going to leave her with your son out there in the

01:17:41
world? I don't.

01:17:43
I don't know. But I mean, he's.

01:17:45
Also. If you think about it, he's

01:17:46
also, he's not said that he was going to stay with Jenny.

01:17:50
He told Jenny I have been trying to find a safe place for you.

01:17:55
So it's not like he's saying, oh OK, I'm going to I'm going to

01:17:58
take care of this girl and be her dad while his own child is

01:18:01
out there in the world. No, I didn't think anything

01:18:03
that, but like did he say he was going to go back for his child

01:18:05
and wife? I we haven't gotten that far.

01:18:10
I think, I think for the most part.

01:18:12
He was telling that story to Maggie just to say, hey, we all

01:18:18
make mistakes with the people that we love and we all make

01:18:21
decisions, You know, we do things that we think are in

01:18:25
their best interest, because what?

01:18:26
What was it? He said?

01:18:28
He said, I hope that they're okay and maybe I don't have a

01:18:30
right to do that, but isn't that all we have in the end?

01:18:33
Hope. I think that was more so.

01:18:37
Let me share my story with you especially.

01:18:40
And she asked about Annie. You know.

01:18:43
Right I I just I don't know I just I I it's just it's one of

01:18:50
those things I'd still. Hopefully we'll get some more

01:18:55
information because yeah, I just that that part of it does bother

01:19:00
me that you would put them on a wagon going to another state

01:19:06
because again, I don't feel like he would do that unless it was

01:19:10
people that they knew. So it's kind of like OK so.

01:19:16
Right. Because that's a lot.

01:19:17
There's a lot of questions I have.

01:19:19
So I'm on the same page with you on that.

01:19:21
It's just especially all the stuff he did, even when he stood

01:19:24
up for everyone when they were at Alexander and he was on his

01:19:27
knees when he realized what he had done.

01:19:30
All of those things. And you have a chance again.

01:19:34
And yes, you you had well, first of all, you did what you

01:19:36
supposed to do. She was attacked.

01:19:42
I mean, I don't you you didn't go out and just murder somebody

01:19:44
because you had a couple of beers at in New Babylon, but and

01:19:50
again, you going to Oklahoma. Oklahoma ain't close to New

01:19:54
Jersey. Missouri, but.

01:19:57
OK, I know where they went. Yeah, he said.

01:20:00
Missouri. But I will say this, too,

01:20:03
depending on what? Depending on what condition he

01:20:06
left those five people in. That could have scared him too,

01:20:11
if if if if he pulled a Glen and Abraham on them or worse.

01:20:17
I mean think about it, the punishment for his capture, like

01:20:20
I said in the first episode. But he already know he got to do

01:20:25
it. He know he got to do it.

01:20:27
He knew he had to do it so he would spill their guts out.

01:20:31
What should scare him is the boy that he just smashed in the

01:20:34
glass. That's who should have scared

01:20:36
you from last episode if you just quit.

01:20:39
But I know because he killed Ole.

01:20:40
But because you quickly, you, you, quick.

01:20:45
That wasn't even your wife and child.

01:20:48
The matter she share her pigeon with him.

01:20:51
I understand that, I agree. But I'm just saying you would

01:20:54
snap real quick to do that. Don't be scared that you kill

01:20:58
some men who who did things to your wife.

01:21:01
But you got to make a point because these men, that man that

01:21:05
you smashed through the window, is associated with someone who

01:21:09
knows who you are. So right then, I feel like

01:21:13
Negan, if he's going to make a show of who he is, he's got to

01:21:17
come out strong. And again, this is something we

01:21:20
have seen plainly on his face. He does not want to be this

01:21:23
person anymore. He doesn't want to tap into

01:21:25
that. You know, it's like.

01:21:30
I don't think that. I don't think so either.

01:21:32
He said, I, you know, hold on. I don't remember if it was this,

01:21:36
this episode or not. But he said this is something

01:21:39
that's that's feeling real familiar.

01:21:41
And I that's the person. I'm not trying.

01:21:43
I'm not trying to be or I haven't wanted to.

01:21:46
Be He may not have wanted to be that person, but it's still in

01:21:50
him because as easily as he switched knocking that man

01:21:55
through that glass. As easily as he just fighting

01:22:00
Luther as the thing. OK, so let's talk about the

01:22:09
Luther fight, because I don't even feel like in that fight he

01:22:12
will kill Luther. He was like, look, I'm.

01:22:16
Sorry, but if you find a cheese grater across, somebody hit

01:22:19
there. Oh, but but because Luther was

01:22:21
trying to kill him first. Now I that that's a whole

01:22:25
different thing. self-defense. Luther came at him, was in there

01:22:30
minding his own business trying to.

01:22:32
He did tell him like stop a couple of times, don't do this.

01:22:35
Don't do this. Luther was the one who kept

01:22:41
pushing and because you have this, this wanted poster.

01:22:47
In your pocket and you're reading off all these

01:22:49
attributes. You think you know who the

01:22:52
person is that's standing in front of you?

01:22:54
Well, obviously you were not paying attention to that fucking

01:22:57
poster they told you do not approach for a reason.

01:23:01
But again, fuck around and find out because you went after Negan

01:23:08
right after he just told you he was in there looking for weapons

01:23:12
for them to use against the Crow Act.

01:23:14
So that should have told you right then and there.

01:23:16
That motherfucker was prepared. You came at him, you got a

01:23:21
cheese grater to the face. And again, I don't think he was

01:23:24
trying to kill him. He was just trying to get him to

01:23:26
stop. And he was like, look, this is

01:23:29
not the fight you want. We supposed to be fighting the

01:23:31
same thing now when he ran that cheese grater across his face

01:23:35
and pushed him. And Luther, Oh.

01:23:39
He also didn't know the push was going to kill him, right?

01:23:42
Because. Why would you think that?

01:23:44
Oh, I'm going to push him. And there's a pipe jutting out

01:23:46
from the from the floor and his head is going to land in that

01:23:49
pipe, not any of that. He was basically like, you are

01:23:54
not about to put us out on the street, not tonight.

01:24:00
And he took that. Look, we're in the morning.

01:24:04
If you really want us go, we'll go.

01:24:06
We'll leave in the morning. Luther had to be no y'all going

01:24:09
to leave right now. I bet you they didn't.

01:24:15
And I mean, even with Luther falling on the pipe, implanting

01:24:21
his head on the pipe, Negan could have easily left him there

01:24:26
to suffer. Instead, he puts him out of his

01:24:32
misery. Yes, it looks harsh to us

01:24:36
because of the way he did it, pushing his head down on the

01:24:39
pipe, but what else was he going to do?

01:24:42
Yes. He don't want him to turn into a

01:24:43
Walker when once he dies. Right.

01:24:47
Which again, that's a whole different person than the person

01:24:52
that we knew from 10 whatever years ago.

01:24:57
So I I don't know. It's just.

01:25:05
Luther fucked around, found out OK.

01:25:09
But the other thing that happens in this episode is Maggie.

01:25:17
Maggie is sitting there while they're trying to make their

01:25:19
plans for the next day and the the chick with The Walking stick

01:25:23
comes in and she's obviously one of the tribes people.

01:25:25
She's in that group. And when she empties her bag and

01:25:28
Maggie sees the Dino, immediately Maggie is thinking,

01:25:31
oh fuck, that means Jenny is here and you.

01:25:35
I thought at first that she would go and tell Negan, but

01:25:38
then I thought about it just that quickly.

01:25:40
I said she's not going to tell Megan because if Megan knows,

01:25:43
Jenny is there. That's going to be his priority.

01:25:49
He's going to be like, I got to go take care of her.

01:25:52
And. Then right.

01:25:54
And then Maggie is going to be with these other people who,

01:25:57
let's be honest, at this point, between the tribes people and

01:26:03
Megan, she's probably better off trusting Megan, because at least

01:26:08
you know what he's capable of. You know how he thinks.

01:26:13
And granted, after all of that stuff, the way that he's still

01:26:18
trying to make amends right now, or at least trying to be cordial

01:26:21
to you, at least you know he not going to leave you for dead.

01:26:24
At least you know if something happens to you, he's going to

01:26:29
try to his best to make it right.

01:26:31
I mean, that's what he did with the guy with the window.

01:26:34
That guy attacked the tribes people and Megan got pissed off

01:26:39
about it, so. You know when she takes that

01:26:45
dinosaur and she goes outside with the matches?

01:26:49
Which she still. Needs match matches.

01:26:52
But when she goes outside, I'm like, is she really going to

01:26:55
torch this thing? Like.

01:26:57
And then of course, here's Jenny outside looking through a car

01:27:03
window again not a Walker Insight.

01:27:08
And she sees that Maggie is about to burn the dinosaur.

01:27:13
But the episode goes off. So I was like, OK, is she going

01:27:17
to actually come out of hiding because of that dinosaur?

01:27:19
Like doesn't mean that much to her, which I'm figuring it

01:27:23
probably does. I'm I'm guessing that was

01:27:25
probably something her dad gave her before he died.

01:27:29
So I I don't know, like you say, I feel like people are making

01:27:36
bad choices, bad decisions all around.

01:27:40
Because, Maggie, if you want these people to help you with

01:27:43
your son, you need to show them that you care about them too.

01:27:48
OK, Luther, he he got you know, you reap what you sell.

01:27:57
You went in there and attacked the boogeyman, and now your ass

01:28:00
is sitting dead with a pipe in your head.

01:28:08
I don't know what's going to happen with Pearly Armstrong.

01:28:10
I really don't care. Yeah, I don't mean.

01:28:16
Hopefully this shit will go. Away.

01:28:17
I don't. Know his face is going to be

01:28:18
stuck. I have no feelings for.

01:28:23
I just don't like. Aside from him being the reason

01:28:28
that the Croat now knows that Megan is in town, I don't

01:28:31
understand his whole purpose in this story.

01:28:34
It just. Yeah, that's the hard part.

01:28:37
It's like I don't see his purpose appear in the story, but

01:28:40
the only purpose is that Negan left his family for this because

01:28:45
then that's the sheriff that is chasing him.

01:28:48
You see what I'm saying? So that would just be the only

01:28:51
reason to push us into this world of he really did leave his

01:28:56
wife and kid to go to Missouri and he is about to go help.

01:29:03
I think we're some of the only few people that actually care,

01:29:06
because I know a lot of people didn't like the whole and the

01:29:08
Annie storyline. Yeah, I, I, I.

01:29:12
And that's why I guess maybe I have a problem with it, because

01:29:15
I feel like then it was just we got them and now we just going

01:29:20
to push them to the side. So then at that point we really

01:29:24
didn't need him to be with Annie or to be pregnant.

01:29:30
I think they put him with her and made her pregnant, I feel

01:29:35
like, to further humanize him. Oh yeah, I agree.

01:29:38
And for him to get that point when his family is about to be

01:29:42
murdered, but then then the next storyline, we need to get rid of

01:29:45
that family. And I know people enjoy it, but

01:29:49
people didn't want him to have a family.

01:29:51
I get it. You don't.

01:29:52
First of all, you don't want him to have that.

01:29:56
And not a happy ending because you living in this world, so

01:29:58
it's not all that happy but to have some type of happiness.

01:30:02
They don't want him to have any type of redemption, yeah.

01:30:06
Or even just Or happiness. You don't have to be redeemed.

01:30:09
You're still going to be a badass and still be happy.

01:30:11
You know what I'm saying? With your gangster wife and son.

01:30:14
But they don't want him to have nothing.

01:30:17
Right. But I mean, at least they told

01:30:23
us. So we can all stop wondering

01:30:28
because I I'm gonna be honest, I actually, I liked her character

01:30:31
and I was like, oh, well, Megan is about to have a show, so

01:30:35
maybe we'll see more of her. Because remember my thought

01:30:38
originally when everybody was like, so if Megan and Megan are

01:30:42
going to New York, where's Hershel?

01:30:44
I was like, Annie's probably babysitting them.

01:30:50
Then we figured out that Herschel was going to.

01:30:52
Get killed. Be kidnapped.

01:30:54
Like, yeah, how many times is this for Herschel?

01:30:56
Yeah, but it makes me also think of when shows, right?

01:31:02
It makes me think of when shows when the the main characters

01:31:05
have a key and then the kid disappears like they never had

01:31:08
the kid, but you make them have a kid.

01:31:09
We are not about to compare this to family matters.

01:31:12
Come on now. I mean, there's so many of them.

01:31:15
They do it all the time and they every show that they have kids

01:31:17
and then the kids disappear like what kids say.

01:31:20
I love stairs to that room and. Everything.

01:31:21
Yeah. My favorite.

01:31:23
My favorite. Yeah.

01:31:25
Like, yeah. So it's he had to.

01:31:28
He had to be alone. There's a lot of decisions.

01:31:32
Again, a lot of decisions. Yeah, but.

01:31:37
Okay. So let's see.

01:31:38
Let let's let's do a little wrap up.

01:31:40
So Maggie is pissing everybody off because she's willing to

01:31:44
sacrifice them all to save her child.

01:31:46
Negan just was forced to kill someone because they want the

01:31:51
fuck around and find out. The Croat just found out that

01:31:55
his daddy figure is home and he's ready to show off all his

01:32:00
goodies and how well he's done in school.

01:32:03
Pearly Armstrong is just Pearly Armstrong.

01:32:05
Jenny needs a whooping. And I will say this too, Tomaso

01:32:15
and Amaya, I'm still kind of sort of on the fence about them

01:32:21
because I understand Amaya is upset that they got raided and a

01:32:28
couple of people. Got killed, including Esther or

01:32:33
as Michelle Carter. What did you call it?

01:32:35
Rose? Rose, Rose, Rose you.

01:32:39
Understand. She's upset that they got

01:32:41
killed, but you weren't even considering going after him when

01:32:45
y'all had more people and now all of a sudden you're gung ho?

01:32:48
Oh yeah, we'll distract his people while you go after your

01:32:51
son and y'all kill him and this and the other she feels too.

01:33:01
Too willing to help. Whereas Luther was all the way

01:33:05
on the opposite side, because, I mean, even even the way that she

01:33:09
came at Luther, Luther was like, look, the decision has already

01:33:12
been made, we're not doing this, she said.

01:33:13
What are we supposed to do? Stand around holding our Dicks?

01:33:16
I was like, oh, OK, But again, it's like your people, y'all

01:33:21
took it to a vote. They said no, and you're still

01:33:24
like, oh, we're going to help so.

01:33:25
In in a sense, too, it's almost like she's willing to risk their

01:33:29
lives too for a stranger, which maybe that's the type of person

01:33:34
she is. Maybe she's like, OK, you know

01:33:35
what? If this woman's child is is

01:33:38
there and we can help, we can help.

01:33:41
OKI don't have a problem with that either.

01:33:44
But I don't know something about her and Tomaso and then they

01:33:49
also. Kind of briefly focused on this,

01:33:53
and I didn't really get a chance to think about it too much.

01:33:56
So when Tomasso is telling them about how he escaped, because

01:34:00
apparently at some point Tomasso was there with the Croats

01:34:03
people, he you know, he would go and beg and the Croat would

01:34:07
throw him food and medicine and then finally he came inside, but

01:34:11
he was able to escape. When he's talking about this,

01:34:17
Maggie notices his back. And his back looks like he has

01:34:21
had chunks taken out of it, like he's been with like a cat of

01:34:26
nine tails or something. But I was like, I feel like

01:34:31
there's more to that story. But I I don't want to.

01:34:35
I don't want to necessarily say, oh, he's part of the Croats crew

01:34:39
because the tribes people are his family and it's obvious him

01:34:44
and Amaya are together. So I don't think he would.

01:34:48
Like, purposefully sell them out.

01:34:50
But I don't know. Something about those two is

01:34:52
just kind of like they're, I don't know, they feel too eager

01:34:58
to try to go after this person who who y'all have been

01:35:01
terrorized, terrified of for years.

01:35:05
So I I don't know. I don't know.

01:35:09
It's going to be interesting. I just want to know what this

01:35:11
fallout is about to be like when they find Luther dead.

01:35:19
So because. They weren't in the same

01:35:22
building that they were in, right?

01:35:25
They might have been, but I think Negan and Luther, maybe

01:35:30
they were in a basement or. Like a different rule?

01:35:34
Yeah. Maybe they were on the other

01:35:35
side of the building or something.

01:35:37
Because. Negan probably would have, he

01:35:41
would have gone to, you know, searching around like he said he

01:35:44
was checking for weapons. Everybody else was in there

01:35:47
packing their bags. And you know, these are all

01:35:51
family. These are all people, So they're

01:35:53
in there talking with each other and stuff.

01:35:55
So he would snuck away when when nobody was looking like okay,

01:35:58
ain't nobody going to miss me and let me go on ahead and do

01:36:01
this. And it just so happened, Luther

01:36:03
following him, probably trying to see what it is that he's

01:36:06
doing, like maybe trying to make sure that Megan wasn't doing

01:36:10
something. Because again, they did find out

01:36:13
that him and the crow at knew each other in this episode.

01:36:15
So maybe Luther was thinking, oh, that's.

01:36:17
How so? Luther was already skeptical.

01:36:19
Yeah, he was when he he soon as he walked into the room, he was

01:36:22
sizing them up maybe. That's how they found us or

01:36:24
something like that, you know, because again, the the barocity

01:36:28
showed up right after they captured Megan and Maggie.

01:36:31
So it could have been, if you're looking at it from the outside,

01:36:34
we know different, but. I mean, like I said, I don't

01:36:38
blame Luther for being skeptical, but there's ways to

01:36:41
handle certain things. And I know I made the joke in

01:36:44
the last episode about Luther being a big boy.

01:36:47
Besides, don't account for everything.

01:36:48
That's what I'm saying. That's why.

01:36:50
That's why he was sizing up like, see, he's a threat.

01:36:54
You got you got to have some smarts, too.

01:36:56
And Megan has that in spades. So, I mean, remember.

01:37:01
Yeah, poor Luther didn't last long.

01:37:05
No. But I mean, it's only a 6th

01:37:07
episode. We had a.

01:37:08
Fucking attitude. Y'all may know anybody with an

01:37:10
attitude. You're right.

01:37:14
You're right Put. Up with that shitty shit, I

01:37:19
mean. If you think about it, Pearly's

01:37:22
2, His two people, they didn't last long.

01:37:26
Esther didn't last long, so. Right now, we're not attached to

01:37:31
anything. Because the first person I did

01:37:34
attached to was the bar owner. She was gone.

01:37:38
We we weren't attached to her because we liked her character.

01:37:41
We just we were attached to her because it was machine.

01:37:43
I know, I know. But you know, just thinking she

01:37:46
was going to be in the show for a while, but clearly nobody's in

01:37:49
the show for a while unless Unique and Maggie and Hersch.

01:37:52
Right. And and let's be honest, we

01:37:55
don't know what that's going to look like.

01:37:56
They can. I've seen a lot of people

01:37:58
speculate that. You know, Negan's probably going

01:38:02
to sacrifice himself to save Herschel.

01:38:04
He's going to sacrifice himself to save Maggie.

01:38:07
Or that once they do rescue Herschel, when Herschel sees

01:38:12
that is Megan that's helped, he's probably going to try to

01:38:15
kill Megan. Or at that point, Maggie won't

01:38:18
need Megan anymore. Maybe she'll try to kill him.

01:38:21
I've also seen people speculate that, and I think we touched

01:38:25
briefly on this last for the last episode.

01:38:29
I've seen people say that maybe Maggie is using Megan or

01:38:34
tricking Megan, like maybe she's bringing him to the Croat.

01:38:38
But I'm like, why would she? I don't know.

01:38:42
I get, I guess if the Croat has already taken all of your food

01:38:46
and he's taking your child, then if he says, hey, I want you to

01:38:51
find this person. Especially if Megan got posters

01:38:53
all around. Yeah, he would be.

01:38:57
Compelled to say OK, let me go find him but.

01:39:00
Yeah, I can see her doing that. I but I don't like.

01:39:04
It's for her son. She's willing to sacrifice

01:39:07
innocent people she has never met.

01:39:09
But in 10 minutes to sacrifice for her son.

01:39:12
What? You want me to?

01:39:14
Do yeah. So she she's, I can see her

01:39:16
doing that. And then this is not a Steven

01:39:19
Spielberg film. So you know her.

01:39:21
She could die. This is true.

01:39:24
He is gonna die too. I mean, think about it.

01:39:27
Carl was supposed to grow up to be the leader of Alexandria, and

01:39:31
he ended up getting killed in the show.

01:39:35
Yeah, so you know you, you know it.

01:39:38
We don't. Get no next Gen.

01:39:40
Stuff. So you just, Yeah, we don't

01:39:44
know. The only only thing that we did

01:39:49
mentions and. Friends.

01:39:52
No I don't favor the villains. I'm just giving some back story

01:39:55
here. The Koac he has issues because

01:39:59
he had to come home to smell his burning family being cooked for

01:40:03
a BBQ. You know for a fellow family

01:40:07
that was starving. So he look he has some problems

01:40:13
and then he tortured people. That's why I'm I'm like you were

01:40:17
a scientist but you could also have been.

01:40:21
A murderer too, but they could. Also have been something he

01:40:25
picked up after his family was killed, you know, at that point.

01:40:29
When your love of torturing is is something you also may have

01:40:33
picked up when you were a kid. I don't know that don't come as

01:40:36
easy killing when. You're in this type of torturing

01:40:41
when you're. Entering is different.

01:40:42
World and there are no punishments.

01:40:47
But that means you bringing out something that's internal.

01:40:50
Torturing is completely different.

01:40:52
Torturing is inside that you get you get some pleasure for some

01:40:59
torture. And he likes the theatrics too.

01:41:03
He like the theatrics. So he a little different.

01:41:07
So I was online and somebody mentioned something that made me

01:41:12
think and I was like, oh. I didn't get a chance to go back

01:41:15
in and try to find the scene, but apparently, like when the

01:41:19
Saviors first got on the scene and you know, I think this was

01:41:23
before they actually met Megan, when it was more so like the

01:41:27
stories of Megan and what who he was and what he did was going

01:41:31
around, there was supposedly a conversation about the fact that

01:41:36
Megan killed a 14 year old. And I was like, I wonder, is

01:41:41
this the person that Megan was talking about that the Croat

01:41:44
killed? Because remember he said she was

01:41:46
just a kid. Now I would have thought kid as

01:41:49
in a 14 year old, but if that was the conversation, that might

01:41:55
make sense because if we remember there were a lot of

01:41:58
things attributed to Megan that he actually did not do or did

01:42:04
not order. Hey Simon And the Scavengers.

01:42:09
So that could have been something that they were like,

01:42:12
Oh yeah, this Negan did this. But remember, at that time,

01:42:15
everybody was Negan. Right.

01:42:18
You know. And when you're the leader you

01:42:20
got to take responsibility for, they gonna pin it all on you

01:42:23
anyway. Yeah.

01:42:25
And they could have been doing, I mean, they could have been

01:42:27
doing that just to kind of add to his.

01:42:32
I don't know what you want to call it.

01:42:33
Add to his profile. Add to his, you know, his.

01:42:37
His scariness. Yeah, that.

01:42:40
So. But now I'm sitting here

01:42:42
thinking like, oh, was that the Croat?

01:42:45
Like, is that one of the ways that they're tying it together?

01:42:47
Was that actually the Croat? And that was it.

01:42:50
Then it would put them out. That's a good way it would make

01:42:54
sense. Yeah, because remember, Nika had

01:42:56
a rule. No, no, kids, we don't.

01:42:59
We don't do that to kids. And his other was we don't rape

01:43:04
women. So that could be the whole, you

01:43:08
know, the the time piece between him and the Croat.

01:43:13
So, I don't know, but so, oh, you know what?

01:43:18
We didn't mention that little dinner scene.

01:43:19
I do want to mention that before we close out.

01:43:23
The little dinner scene where they all sat around and they,

01:43:28
yeah, they kind of, I guess, paid tribute to their lost ones

01:43:32
with like, these little pieces. I thought that was a really nice

01:43:36
scene. And then, you know, you see

01:43:38
Maggie and Megan sitting there just kind of looking.

01:43:43
And then I noticed when when Megan closed his eyes, Maggie

01:43:47
had a folded piece of paper that she grabbed.

01:43:51
And she closed her hand on. And at first I was like, is that

01:43:56
the drawing of Glenn? But no, that was on Gray paper.

01:44:00
I don't think she has another wanted poster.

01:44:02
I think that's what that was. Are you sure?

01:44:06
I thought it was the picture of Glenn.

01:44:08
I don't think it was the picture of Glenn.

01:44:10
Oh, I thought it was picture of Glenn too, because The Wanted

01:44:13
poster is on this yellowish kind of paper.

01:44:18
But. I was thinking like when they

01:44:21
were having the conversation after he had told her about

01:44:24
Annie, the way that she was looking at him.

01:44:28
I think, I think one of the reasons why Maggie continues

01:44:32
being a Dick to him is because if she lets her guard down, she

01:44:37
she has to actually start looking at him as a as a human

01:44:40
being. And I don't think she wants to

01:44:43
do that, but she was looking at him during that scene.

01:44:48
And I was like, what is going on with her?

01:44:51
Because she was looking at him in a weird way, not like she

01:44:55
was. I don't know how to explain it.

01:44:59
It was it was something about the way she was looking at him.

01:45:02
I was like, huh, Something's going on.

01:45:08
Or maybe she didn't. I don't.

01:45:09
I don't want to say she didn't tell them the truth because I I

01:45:12
think that. I think that story she told him

01:45:16
about her and Herschel's argument, I think that's a

01:45:18
little too personal for her to make up.

01:45:21
And then, you know, we also saw the flashback of her and

01:45:24
Herschel not getting along. So I think that was true.

01:45:27
I don't know. I figured out maybe maybe we'll

01:45:30
learn something else in the next episode, but I I don't.

01:45:33
Know. Yeah.

01:45:34
It's true about Herschel. Because when he's a teenager.

01:45:38
So that happens. Yeah, Get.

01:45:40
Off my back, OK, but. Don't find out one way.

01:45:46
And you get kidnapped, so. Your Mama had you gone to the

01:45:48
root cell of your ass? My.

01:45:50
Right. So you know that, you know

01:45:52
that's that's so that's true, right?

01:45:56
So. So.

01:45:58
But you guys have any final thoughts about episode three?

01:46:03
We are halfway through already. I don't like these short little

01:46:07
six season. I mean 6.

01:46:09
Episodes. Oh no.

01:46:09
Keep in mind the first the first season of The Walking Dead was

01:46:12
on the 6th episode, so. Yeah, but we knew we were

01:46:15
getting another season. Well, I didn't know that Season

01:46:19
3. Oh yeah, that's true.

01:46:20
That's true. But we don't know what's going

01:46:22
on with this one. We may get some news this

01:46:27
weekend because San Diego Comic Con is this weekend, and even

01:46:31
though the writers and the actors are striking right now,

01:46:36
there is going to be an AM C panel.

01:46:39
I believe it's on Friday. And they are supposed to present

01:46:43
some information about the spinoffs as far as the ones that

01:46:47
have already completed filming. So we never continue with

01:46:52
whatever spinoffs, spinoffs I think in the I.

01:46:55
Say it's a spinoff now, Casey. I left your team, especially

01:46:58
since we haven't mentioned any other parts of the last season.

01:47:05
No Commonwealth any. And Joshua's gone, so this is

01:47:09
spinoff. Yes, thank you spin off.

01:47:11
But anyway, so like I was the Daryl Dixon first season has

01:47:17
already has already filmed. They've started doing some

01:47:22
promotion for it. So we may get some news on that.

01:47:24
Oh, we also do have a release date for the Daryl Dixon show.

01:47:30
I believe that is September 10th.

01:47:32
Let me look real quick. September 10th is the release of

01:47:39
The Daryl Dixon Show. That's when it premieres.

01:47:42
The Ricky Michon Show has finished filming.

01:47:45
I don't know where they are in the editing process.

01:47:48
I'm hoping this weekend we get some kind of information for it,

01:47:53
but I know anything else that would be in production like the

01:47:58
the second season of The Daryl Dixon Show, they have shut down

01:48:01
production on that for the because of the strike, so.

01:48:06
Maybe by the time we record for Episode, I would say maybe

01:48:11
Episode 5 we will have some spinoff news that we can share

01:48:16
and discuss. Have you guys seen any of the

01:48:19
teaser trailers for Daryl Dixon yet?

01:48:23
I saw the non one, I saw him walking through all the

01:48:28
countryside. The Walking, walking and the one

01:48:30
with the nuns. OK, so the one with the nuns?

01:48:33
Really. I didn't see the nuns, only seen

01:48:35
the. Walking, walking and walking.

01:48:39
I will share that with you once we close out, but yeah, that

01:48:42
one. Is and walking it's.

01:48:43
Tricking because I'm like how? What They got a whole lot of

01:48:50
questions to answer in this phone.

01:48:51
The first damn episode. And.

01:48:53
They don't. Answer all these questions in

01:48:56
this first episode? Yeah, it's going to lose me

01:49:00
because how the fuck? Yeah.

01:49:02
Yeah, yeah. It has to make sense.

01:49:06
That part. But Darrell, I I feel like

01:49:09
that's like our catch phrase for these spinoffs right now.

01:49:12
Make it make sense because I know I said it a lot with the

01:49:17
first half of Season 8 for fear. Make it make sense.

01:49:22
I mean, you got to it, Darrell. How the hell is Darrell Dixon

01:49:25
ending up in France, Darrell. And from that one little thing,

01:49:31
he was floating on top of the boat.

01:49:33
Your ass ain't floated across. Some seas to get from America to

01:49:38
Paris and take longer than that little float boat.

01:49:41
You'd be floating on that boat. You'd be a skeleton by the time

01:49:44
you got over there. Especially the way sharks and

01:49:47
whales have been attacking boats lately.

01:49:49
Like, I mean, I realize we're on a different timeline from them.

01:49:53
We're in the multiverse. But yeah, I just don't see that

01:49:57
happening. So yeah, they they're going to

01:49:59
have to be very thorough when they explain this because, I

01:50:03
mean, this is Darrell. Who didn't even like going to

01:50:06
the other communities there? Or who didn't like being who

01:50:09
didn't? Even like taking a bath, y'all

01:50:10
gonna sent them across the ocean and a whole bunch of water so.

01:50:15
Yeah. Come on now.

01:50:18
Come on now. Remember, Carol was like, you

01:50:20
need a shower. Come.

01:50:22
On now. Yeah, I'm gonna take that vest

01:50:24
off you and hose you down. Okay.

01:50:27
So. I guess we'll figure that out or

01:50:29
hopefully again, we may have some information by this weekend

01:50:33
with San Diego Comic Con. If we do, we will share that on

01:50:37
our next recording. But for now, that is it for our
