Episode Transcript

(00:04):
Yes, welcome to Man and Soap. It's my first podcast in two years,
and I'm back. That took sometime away. Two years is like
an extended vacation. Tend to worksome stuff out. Man and Soap podcasts

(00:25):
about our favorite city, Port Charles, where I talk about things I love,
things I hate, some things inbetween. I have a lot of
fun. It's summer in Port Charles. Things are getting good and yeah,
we have a lot of fun.You might not agree with you on everything,
but you'll know where I stand aswe head into the summer in Poor

(00:47):
Charles and we broadcast live. We'rein the Metro Court, of course,
always broadcasting life for the Metro Courton Man and Soap. The Metro Court
is the place to be for thesummer. Port Charles. The swimming pool
on the fifteenth floor. Drew andNina looking at each other crazy. Geo's

(01:08):
already got a job. He's beento Portcholes for two days. He's got
a job. I want to goto Port Charles. I get a job
right there. I'll go hang out. It's good to be back Man and
so Things I love right now goingon in Port Charles. It was a

(01:29):
really good week, but I dowant to touch base on something. I
think Tracy is a scene stealer.Jane Elliott does a tremendous job in her
scenes. She's kind of come fullcircle. She's on this redemption tour and
I absolutely love it. She getsme in my fields. Tracy is a
warm blanket on the show. She'sbeen there since the seventies. That's one

(01:53):
of the things I love going onin Port Charles right now. I just
love the development of her character.The writer's done a tremendous job, and
her scenes prior to Brooklyn's wedding weregreat. Her scenes with Gregory were great.
That's one of the things I loveright now. On General Hospital.

(02:14):
I love Anna and Jason. Ilove their scenes together. I love the
trust there, the bond that theyhave because of Anna's daughter, Robin,
Jason and Robin close friends. Jasonwas always loyal to Robin. Anna knows
this, she confides in Jason.They're teaming up. I love the trust

(02:35):
that they have. It was agreat scene this week when he was getting
booked and she had called. Shefound out Valentine is the head of Pikeman
and is putting the hit on Jason, and the look on her face.
It was just h heartbreaking. Butagain, I thought it was a really

(02:58):
good scene. And I love Jasonand Anna together and those scenes are really
good. I don't know where Jason'slove interest is gonna go. We'll have
to maybe get into that a littlebit later. I don't know if it's
with Carle or who it's with,because I'm not feeling the chemistry there right
now with Jason and Carly. I'mnot insinuating Jason Nana by any means,
no, but I'm just saying I'mjust not feeling that right now. I

(03:22):
love the Sonny storyline. I'll getinto things I hate in a little bit,
but I love the Sonny storyline.He's Maurice Bernard in these scenes.
He's just coming unglued, right.He's paranoid. Everyone's against him, Jason,
Carly, he beats this shit outof decks at the wedding. He's

(03:49):
just in full on, spiraling outof control mode. His meds are being
messed with, and the ones thatare closest to him, Carly and Jason,
and they're trying. They still lovehim unconditionally. You can see the
look in Jason's eyes when Sonny andhe get together and Jason's which is just
like, I love you, man, I'm your friend, I'm here.

(04:11):
And of course Sonny thinks he's FBI, but he doesn't know the accentuating circumstances
for Jason and Jason's like you're introuble. Sonny is just not having it
right now. He's in full on, full on paranoia mode. But I
do love how every year we getthese Sonny storylines where he spirals because you

(04:35):
know, in real life, MauriceBernard does have bipolar, so he does
it better than anybody because while helives it. So I smell you,
smell that smell on Emmy. Ismell an Emmy from Maurice Bernard for just
another great, great storyline. Thoseare things I love right now. I

(04:58):
love the sets on Hospital. Ido love the Metro Court. I love
the Metro Court pool. I loveit makes me want to be there upstate
New York summer. Hang them out, have need to bring me a towel?
Why not hang out with Drew inthe pool with Wiley, Let's go.

(05:19):
That sounds like a great time.But the sets look great, the
court remain house. The set likeI don't know if it's that guest room
where Eddie Main was in ned,but just the backdrop of that set.
I really like what they've done withthe sets on General Hospital. Really really
enjoying what I'm seeing right now onGeneral Hospital. I think the writing has

(05:44):
gotten a lot better. We'll getto things in between its in a little
bit. Going to bring a newsegment in called the Newbie Segment. We
have a new bie's going to bejoining us here in just a few minutes,
very new. His name is Michaelnew to to General Hospital. I
got him hooked on it. It'salways interesting to hear someone that's barely watched
it, So we'll have him onin a few minutes. We'll be debuting

(06:08):
that news segment today because I'm gonnaask some questions for him. It'll be
interesting just to see. It's alwaysinteresting to see with someone that's never watched
it before what their takes are.So those are some of the things that
I love right now. This episode'sdedicated to Johnny Wackt, a couple of
weeks ago, shot and killed inLA It was tragic working a bartending shift.

(06:31):
I think he was thirty seven.That was devastating to see that on
Instagram. When I read that,I actually saw that post from fanola us
Anna she posted it, So,all right, what are some of the
things I hate right now in PortCharles. I don't hate a lot some

(06:54):
of the storylines I hate. Ihate Ava messing with Sonny's meds, making
him go off the deep ro ButI also love the storyline of Sonny because
he's so good. So it's kindof I'm a hypocrite. Yeah, I
know, and I admit that,but uh, yeah, I'm not a
big fan of Ava Jerome right nowat all. I thought there was some

(07:16):
good in there, and I thinkI was wrong. I don't know what's
going on. I don't like Ihate that I pushed for Valentine and Anna
to be this super couple for solong and now it's gone done. Dunsky,

(07:41):
as my uncle used to say.I know, it's kind of annoying,
but they're dunsky. It's just notit's just not. It's it's not
going to happen between uh Valentine andAnna, this whole Pikeman thing. It's

(08:01):
it's gotten out of hand, sothere's no chance of them getting back together.
So I'm not a big fan ofthat. Right now. Other than
that, I don't really hate alot of things. Blaze's mom is a
trip. I don't hate her,but she's a little bit. She's a
little extra, you know, inher opinions on Blaze and Christina and all

(08:26):
that. I hate that Gregory isno longer on the show, because he
was phenomenal. His death got tome. I watched it. I was
like, oh my god, Iwas in my fields and Finn, Finn
was taking off his shoes, hisfather's shoes, and the way Gregory was

(08:50):
looking at him, and it wasjust a beautiful scene they handled. Can
I just say real quick, I'mgonna pivot back to this in a second.
I hate that Finn is on thesauce again, and I hate that
his choice of drinks tequila, Like, what the heck you're gonna go down,
go down on whiskey and vodka.My guy's drinking t killa like as

(09:13):
water. And he in trouble.He in trouble. Liz walking in on
Finn in the bar, the bar, the bar broad will call her,
who knows who she is? Lizcan give a stare down though Liz and
Finn Dunsky, My uncle would sayJinsky not happening. Well, those are

(09:39):
some of the things that I andI'm kind of hating on right now.
Oh, on General Hospital, there'snot a lot. There's more love than
hate. We are at a greatpoint at General Hospital. Did the nurses
ball happen? Like, what's goingon there? Did I miss something?

(10:03):
Yeah? I don't know. Idon't understand what's going on there. But
I love summer, and that's thespring event. I know, but I
love the summer n G eights thesummer storylines. We have a new character,
Giovanni Balamina Banabooni whatever his name is, Olivia's cousin or something or nephew.

(10:24):
Him and Trina look like early chemistry. He reminds Trina of Spencer.
Trina's clearly not over Spencer. Soyeah, but I don't I don't like
seeing Finn this way. He's alreadyweird to begin with. First of all,
okay's listen about it. He's weird. He purchases his lips all the

(10:45):
time. He's weird. He's justhe's an odd character. What didn't he
have like a komoda dragon or somethingas a pet? I mean, anybody
that has a reptiles that pet's weird. Remember when him and Anna were together?
Don't know what was a disaster thatthat just didn't go. And I've
got a lot of things that Ilike in between, some random thoughts we

(11:07):
call those in between that I willget to, and some props right now,
when introduce a new segment, it'scalled the Newbie with Michael. He
is brand new, grand old thatMike the Newbie. Hello, Hi,

it. We're done, you startspoiling you. I work from home so
I can watch it live. That'sa good point. Well, I'm And
that's why these podcast drops after theprevious weeks because I don't like the way
we do it is you don't haveto don't have to reset every episode.
No one needs that shit, Like, Okay, let's just things. We
hate things in between what's going on. We don't need to review every episode.

(15:13):
drama. Yeah, he's just shootingte Kaila. He's doing body shots off
that Barbara. I mean, yeah, it's just not it's over. It's
over. It's over, is there? Uh? Question number three for Nubie,
that was the most annoying character foryou on General Hospital? I think
I knew you were gonna say that. Spanelle is great. You're gonna love
him in time. He is toughand extra Initially he's a good person.

(15:35):
He's smart. You go to PortCharles, you need your computer fixed,
You're going to Spinelle. But Spinelliis annoying for you. Yeah. The
first episode of of General Hospital Iever watched, he was him singing at
the bar. Yeah, karaoke forMax that it was so annoying. I
don't like guys like that. I'mlike, I can't go away. So

(15:56):
Spanella's not your guy? Yeah?All right, all right, you have
the other random thoughts that you wannayou want to share as we uh Welcome
Nubie to the Man and Soap Podcast, where he will join us on a
weekly basis for a segment. Yeah, speaking about smelling Nellie. You know
who wears a shirt in the pool? Yeah? Was it him? Yeah?
Okay, yeah, Yeah, he'sweird. That is weird. I

(16:19):
don't trust people who wear shirts.No, no, And he's got some
high hair to Yeah, he's gotsome high hair. Yeah. See you're
new. So but him and Maxiehave a lot of history. So all
right, anything else you'd like toshare for this week? It was a
good week, by the way,it's just wispful thinking it's not gonna happen.

(16:42):
Allright, give it to me becauseit's Pride month and they just introduced
Geo. I want him to bethe gig character. Yeah, I think
it's gonna happen. Now, Idon't think that's gonna happen. Not him,
Not, not him. They generalHostel does explore those storylines, though,
I don't think so. I thinkhim and Trina have early chemistry.

(17:03):
You even said he kind you saidhe's a new Spencer who is opposite of
Pride. Spencer's a meathead resting inthe river somewhere in Paris. He's gone,
he's gone, he's done. Yeah, No one ever dies in port
Chile, so so Geo you wantto say, Okay, Josh has Josh
has a great gig, you know, body uh bodyguard or what is it?

(17:26):
Lifeguard at the Metro court. Howdifficult would that be? I don't
know. Also, I don't knowhow and why she switched from Pete mad
to environmental sence. Okay, well, because see again you're new. She
had a discussion with Trina in thepark, which seems to have like every

(17:48):
year we get park scenes. You'regonna learn this. Every year there's that
park I think gets the lights everyoneeveryone, everyone exercises, even Sonny's out
there exercises. That's when you know. So I think General Hospital gets a
license to be able to film outthere once a year, and this is
that time of the year, seemsto be around the late spring beginning of
summer where they congregate in the parkand there's all the drama in the park.

(18:10):
And she had a conversation with Trinaabout you may have missed this since
may have been right, but whenwe started that she didn't really know if
premium was gonna be it was gonnatake too much of her time and she
wasn't ready for it. Okay,So that's the reason why. Very astute
of you Knwbie about very astute ofyou to catch that. Okay, okay,
Bex and gosh yeah, Jaxton Josha. They've got good chemistry. They're

(18:33):
going to dinner. Maybe she looksat him like she's in love with him.
I mean, he's a good lookingguy, he wants to be a
copy, he's turned his life aroundfrom Sonny Damn. Might be there,
but also she also has eyes forGeo. I don't think so. I
don't think so. I think uslike the flirting, her like throwing him
in his pool. Yeah he wasinitiating it, but so so you could

(18:59):
see you what you're saying is therecould be a potential love triangle between Geo,
Trina Joss. I could see it. I could see it. I
think if that dinner with Dex doesn'tgo well, that's gonna be it's gonna
go great. I think I likeDex and Joss. They look good together.
I could see Trina and Geo hookingit up, though, But he

(19:19):
does a reminder of Spencer, whichcould be a problem. So and lastly,
all right, give me one lastoff from the newbie. This is
because also I watched a British soapPropera. Okay, okay, they had
a still still birth in one ofthe episodes, and that was like the

(19:44):
art for like the week. Iknow where you're going with. I'm thinking
Casina Christina have a still birth toraise the drama and all that. All
right, all right, well Igot a hot take on that. I'm
gonna share that in my between thoughts. Okay, all right, Nuby,
thank you those good stuff. Michael, you're enjoying it. I'm glad you

(20:04):
are. I we'll have you onevery week and you can share your thoughts.
I think this week's gonna be verygood. I think Finn is in
trouble. It is in a worldof trouble. It's no coming out,
that's no no coming back. Ithink that's gonna be the that's going to
be the the main storyline for theweek. And Sonny's continued downward spiral as

(20:26):
well. Yeah, so all right, there's newbie, brand new. Thank
you, Michael. I appreciate that. Michael will be joining us every week
as he is the newbie in PortCharles and he's loving it and he's hooked
and he's drinking the Port Charles coolad like we all are so some thoughts
in between. Michael touched on Christina. She does a tremendous job as an
actress. She's great. That scenewith her and Blaze and she found out

(20:47):
Blaze told Molly her business about herfather and She's like, this is not
good. Her scene that was sogood. Christina is great. She is
perfectly cast. I think they struckgold. I think they struck gold with
Molly too, because the other Mollyain't coming back. She's she's boozing and
drinking and driving. It's over forher. That was a that was just

(21:11):
a mistake on her. Oh mygod. But yeah, I like Christina
and Mollie. Uh yeah, greatstuff there. She does a tremendous job.
Uh. Violet. The kid actorsdo really good job on on General
Hospital. Kid actors are good,Donna's good, Violet's really good. She's
really she was so cute with theGregory's memorial. Does a great job where

(21:36):
the kid actors used to not bethat great. Does a great job.
I was very impressed, very impressed. Uh with Violet. She just looks
weird as his clothes. He chucksin everything. Just a random thought.

(21:57):
I'd like to see him untalked alittle bit. Remember that time when Chase
was in a Hallmark movie. Yeah, he looks uncomfortable in his clothes and
he's built really well. Again,Brooklyn ain't lasting long in that bachelor pad

(22:17):
of Chase. I don't see ithappening. So yeah, that's all I
pretty much have for this podcast.The first podcast in nearly in like a
little over two years, and it'sreally good to be back. I hope
