(00:25):
I gotta tell you something. You know, last week Michael
and I were talking. We were like, it was a
slow week the week before last, I should say, and
oh my god, this week, oh, we got exactly Oh,
and I said it. I said, what happens when there's
(00:47):
a lull week, they come back, They come back firing
broadcasting live from the Metro courtpool. Look at Danny and
Rocco over there. It's like dumb and dumber. These guys
were like, what's up?
Speaker 2 (01:07):

Speaker 1 (01:08):
They don't look like they're working. They look like they
want to throw each other at the pool. Geos. Oh,
look at Geo. How madd he is right now, He's
got to control those two. Go get him boys. Ah,
the summer of flipflops. Dude, we have a new villain.
(01:29):
I've got a hot take. It's so hot. Mike is
on fire right now. It's so hot. I got a
hot take on a villain. This week was so good,
Oh my god. One of the best weeks since we
had the Nurses Ball. We were due for a banger week.
We got it. Thanks for hanging out. I've been watching
(01:51):
this soap pretty much by a whole life. Started watching
it with my mother. Yep, she's to blame. I feel like, uh,
you know, port Charles Jenas is a big part of me.
I am a guy that loves Alcazar. I'm a guy
(02:15):
that loves Sean Donnelly. You all know what I'm talking about.
You know I'm not messing around here. Now we go
way back, way back. Oh okay, man, it's so podcast
brought to you by Bobby's. Go get yourself a BLT
this summer, Michael. I want to go to Bobby's because
(02:38):
I want to get breakfast there. I haven't had breakfast
there in a while, and I want to see him.
Maybe we'll get Carly to wait on us. You think
she think she'll come out. I think she'll we will
get us. You think she'll show up. She doesn't really
show up as much anymore. Like to have Carly give
her a little support, right, I don't think so. I
don't think she's gonna be there. I think we'll get
her every once in a while. You get a Carly
sighting there, though. But Bobby's home of the best BLG
(03:02):
in the Northeast. Absolutely, maybe in the States, maybe in
the world. Before it was Bobby's, it was Kelly's. I
was there when it was Rubies. You don't remember that,
You're like, no, I've been going as my spot. We
grabbed the BLG after after the podcast last week. How
(03:24):
good was that?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
By the way, that was good?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh you had the fries you you ate that I
never see and you liked you ate fast?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Oh yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I had to you devoured it. Josh walked in and
we had a good time. Yeah, it was a good time.
But I never seen Michael East so fast, and I've
had a lot of meals with him, trust me. What
are you wearing today?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
A little cologna? Yet? Little? What do you got? A little
little bougie bougie? What is it? Yeah, Calvin Klein, A little,
a little, a little. My dad used to wear old
spice and and cope royal Copenhagen. I take it you're
not wearing no, no, little d r No. I just
have a making a studio smell good though.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now I just have a video interview with the Pittsburgh
Penguins that's right.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Soon so you go to Pittsburgh, Well, we can still
do the podcast, but you'll be closer. I would, Yeah,
they'd be closer to Port Charles.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I would be closer.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, you would be get those bots floating. It's staying
nice and hot and chrispyfore you too. So, uh, what
a banger of a week, you guys. I mean they
were hitting home runs like show Yo Tani boom, Dead Center,
home runs like Showy, those against the Yankees boom bang.
Each episode had a great crack of the bat. Every
episode was a homer. You could hear it in the bat,
(04:40):
the way the ball came off the bat. Boom all
week long. And I am venting today a little bit. Sorry,
gotta do it cheerleader for the soap, by the way.
But at the same time, you know, we keep it
real and I just want to start off with the news.
We break the podcast down. It's easy, the good, the
bad in between. So we keep it simple. And there's
(05:03):
been a lot of good lately, lots of good. I mean,
the good always outweighs the bad. Because we love our
we love our favorite city right in upstate New York.
It's Port Charles Michael sends me this uh Instagram or
this post from a soap news update or whatever, and
it read that Cody, my buddy, my drinking buddy at
(05:25):
the Brown Dog, is going to be coming back now
as a recurring character. And I've got to say something.
I am freaking ticked off about it. I'm so mad.
I know I posted it, man, I got a lot
of comments that were very supportive. I know. I don't
know if you're not a big Cody guy, or you're
not a big Cody and Molly.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Couple, just not a big Cody guy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, well you're in the minority, my friend. Because I
posted this thing, I was number one on Reddit for
four hours until they've banned me again. Didn't ban me
when they cut off the conversation. Oh you're gonna do spoilers,
Oh bullshit already out. I cannot believe the most complex
the character that we don't know what we're getting from
(06:10):
scene to scene, which is great. He's a shit show,
he's a hero, he's a good soul. He's a disaster
and we love that, and they're dropping him to a
recurring role. Shame on you writers once again for dropping
the ball. I'm starting off negative and I'm gonna lean
(06:32):
into it. Don't care, Michael, Michael, name me three characters. Okay, Well,
first of all, you're still fairly new to the soap,
but you've been watching almost a year and a half now,
so you get the way things work in your year
and a half. Do you think Cody should be delegated
to a recurring role or do you give me three
(06:53):
characters that you'd like to see besides Cody, Because I'm
gonna give you my three and you can agree. This
is not like we don't have to be Let's not
get too cool for the room. Okay, it's bullshit for
me that Cody's being relegated. Okay, first of all, the
writers just continue to suck and then they shine. I'll
get Hey, I I'm the first to knock him, but
guess what, I'm the first to build him up when
(07:15):
they come up with good storylines. All right, here's I
got three characters that could be recurring. Tell me and
then I'm gonna give hi name my three. You don't
have to agree this or because I don't care because
they're my three, and then you're gonna give me your
three and we might agree on some of them. I
know we're gonna go on one. Okay, I'm gonna be the
first one. Kai Kai. We talked about it last week.
Where can he go? Where could he go? He's got
(07:35):
nowhere to go, but there's nowhere to go. What'd you say?
He didn't get drafted? He's some football careers over. Was
he gonna go into politics and go out of state?
Where is he? He's on a major storyline on every
freaking day. But they want to delegate cur Cody. So
I'm getting bumped. I'm gonna think of his breath because
when you send me this, I was like, this is
and then I read it like it's true. I would
delegate Kai. I would delegate Trina. There's nothing going on.
(08:00):
She's with Kai. She's guilty by association. Sorry, Trina, you
hit yourself to that wagon. You gotta go on that train,
go with Kai. I love I love you Trina, But
there's nowhere she can go. Spencer's at the bottom of
the river in France or wherever he's dead. We think
those are two characters I can name right now that
can be recurring. And I'm gonna name a third and
(08:21):
that's a hot take. And I don't care. Relegate Liz
to recurring. There's nothing going on. Nothing going on with Liz.
Lucky's gone, Thank the Lord, there's nothing. And I love Liz.
I say this with love people. I'm no, I'm not
I'm doing I love. I love Kai. He's a great guy.
(08:42):
I thought he was gonna win the Heisman A poor
Charles that didn't work out, like true kind of screwed
to him, said do the surgery. You'll be fine. But
those are okay, those are three characters right off the bet, Kai, Trina.
You can even delegate Drufus, Delegate Old Drufus because he's
a dud. That's my new nickname from Drufus. But he's
too hot of a storyline with Willaw I'm getting. But Kai,
(09:04):
Trina Liz are three, I think off the bat. You
could delegate right now and keep Cody going because he's
far more interesting. They were gonna pair with Molly. He's
gonna seduce Eva. I don't know now what I'm getting.
What are your three?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Molly, Kai and.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Molly. Yeah, and you're not a Molly guy.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No, not okay, I don't know about the third one.
I don't know, Okay, no one counts to mind.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Okay, okay, well that's fair. So I posted this right,
I put, I put the writers continue to fail us.
And this thing went viral in two hours at five
and a half thousand, because you can see it right here.
If this thing is a banger, see the insides, they're
probably gonna punish me and Red. It's tough, man. But
so people were chiming in. I was number one there,
the number three posts, my number three posts of all time.
(10:02):
So I want to read just a couple of comments
and see what you see, for you all to hear
and see, Michael, what you think I said, Cody needs
to My title was you know the writers that failed us,
but bring back Lucky and pay him all that money. Uugh,
I know, like at twelve year old, it's okay anyway,
So here are some of the comments, and most of
the people were, well. The first comment was, he's this
(10:24):
terrible actor with a stupid storyline. I oh god, not.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
The terrible actor part, but the storyline.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, that's the writers. Sorry again, I'm right. People guess
they should have pared him with Tracy.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh god.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
People say he's got so much potential. He and Molly
are so good together, get rid of Rick and Drew.
I disagree with that. I like Rick, is Rick your character,
He's already kind of recurring though he's already kind of
in the recurring like I don't Drew Drufus is on
every week, every day, mean because he way, But Rick
(11:03):
is kind of delegate our race. So one goes goodbye.
Maybe this will eighty six the Molly storyline. So someone
agreed with you there, and then the one guy goes,
this is a Reddit threads, let's get rid of Cody.
Yet we continue to keep Natalia around. Oh interesting, but
(11:25):
she's recurring.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, she is.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Man, we don't know. After Friday, I don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And then last but I'm not going to go through
all forty five thousand comments. We'll be here on nine
o'clock tonight. Why do they do this? Says MBW nineteen
sixty eight. Why do they do this? They finally gave
him something to do, and its storyline dictated they don't
see the forest for the trees. Yeah, the writers just
(11:52):
when they start making him fun, says other addendum five
eighteen on Reddit chaos. Cody yes nickname. I like it
under a dendum. Hopefully they're listening to the podcast because
I just gave him a good boost. But the majority
of people I'm just telling you are are living about this.
(12:13):
You're in the minority. You're like, yeah, you're saying make
him recurring although he is character now. The only silver
lining to that is his character will be powerful when
he does come on it like they can't wait. All
the writers will strew it up, but they can't make
him lull on his if he's recurring, they gotta make
him banger scenes, kind of like Rick. Like every scene
(12:34):
Rick is in is very important, either Ivi's blackmail or
alexis right or Mom. So to me, that's the silver allarning.
But I want more Cody, and I believe ninety percent
of you do. Michael's in the minority. I believe on
this one. But that's okay. That's why we have this,
this podcast. I mean, and there was a lot of
good stuff that happened this week. I love the scene,
(13:00):
and we don't really break these down episodically, but I
believe we started the week and I think when you
and I talked about it, the whole Curtis and the
Porsche fall out and then Monday, you see Porsche in
the unisex bathroom, the showers for General Hospital. Apparently she
must have been because good old hunky stuff there. Isaiah
(13:21):
Gaines walks out there with his ripped, shredded abs and
he's like, well you are you know he paid her
a comment, he got her out? So where do they go?
They go right here, right, We're sitting literally right here.
They go to the metro corpool. They're right there. They're
not there now, but they're right there, and gets who
they walk in on, hanging out and having a conversation with,
Oh yeah, Jordan and Curtis going down memory lane. So
(13:44):
then you start thinking, hmm, Curtis and Jordan or Curtis
and Curtis and Jordan were married. Yes, Curtis and Porsche
are having issues. Are they trying to set this up?
Because Isaiah and Porsia have great chemistry. Curtis and Jordan
(14:05):
have great chemistry, so maybe there's something there, right, Maybe
there are the writers trying to set that up. As
Curtis goes back to Jordan's loving arms and he trusts
her although their marriage fell apart because of trust, and
Isaiah is the shoulder to lean on for Porsche, like
(14:26):
you know, Honky Isaiah Gains. Could he be the shoulder,
don't know, But there's a reason why we had those scenes. True, true, right,
I mean, I mean it's fun to fantasize that's what
we do. It's soaproper land. But could you see it?
I could see it. Even the writers are like, oh,
that's too obvious because the writers, the writers, just get
(14:47):
me out there. I'll take care of it right now.
I mean, it's unfreaking believable how bad they are right now.
You take away the one character who shined. He shines
in every scene because you don't I don't know what
you're getting at. The press guy was he was great
saving Tracy breaking out the crumpled receipt. So Cody, I
(15:10):
love that. That's one of the things I loved this week.
I mean, I'm gonna get off the Cody train here
in a second. But they're fucking it up like they
always do. Well, now, well, you're not a Cody guy,
so you're not gonna see it. You're not gonna agree
with me. So if you're not a Cody guy, you're
not You're not You're gonna you're gonna be like no, no,
every time I say it, yeah, because I can't convince
(15:31):
you true, I can't convince you, right yep, Okay, okay,
I don't know why I love Cody. I mean, the
majority of people were all about it. You know what
I loved this week, Michael, And this is very odd
for me. And tell me if you call the same thing.
I actually the good, the bad, the in between. Here's
the good. I like Lulu this week, this past week.
(15:53):
And I'm pinching myself for saying it, but god no,
I'm seriously. You know, I'm the first a critiquer, you
and I both, by the way, but I thought she
had good scenes this week. She was kind of chilling
by the pool over there, right right.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
There, normal human being.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
She was normal for a week. Just no, but she
was normal this week. This past week.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I loved her scene with the gy.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
With Brooklyn watching on not going over well. Yeah, and
you know, here's the thing now, I'm going to go
back to. Now, if let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you this question. If Lulu showed the
slightest empathy and she loosened up a little bit, and
maybe she kind of goes to Brooklyn and is like,
(16:41):
all right, I made a mistake. Can can we redeem Lulu?
Is Lulu redeemable? Because I kind of think she is
after this past week, Like I thought you for me,
I'm the harshest critic. I'm like, okay, I kind of
like her. I'm gonna lay off for a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Well, we already noticed he's never gonna go up to
Brooklyn and say like true, yeah, messed up.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Right, No, I know, wishful thinking? Yeah, or is she
going to be opposite and use GEO to piss off
Brooklyn because she knows it's not gonna go.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Overwhelm You know, I didn't think about that, but yeah,
I wouldn't beats Fries if she's trying to. Yeah, but no,
I feel like she is right now.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Does have that in her? And that's the thing why
we don't like her.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, Well, like I think, yeah, right, I feel like
if she can like is it's already clear like Dia
has no hard feelings for her.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
No, If anything, he finds her sympathetic shoulder to Lena
and she's all about it, yeah, because she's probably like,
how can I screw Brooklyn again? The process? Maybe, like
I find out because I mean they're gonna have ampathy
or I'm gonna really hate her. I want to see
which way she goes. I don't know how, Dante. You
know how she does this, how she handles this will
(18:08):
be very important. We don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Oh wait, Dante offer Geo tickets.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
To some yes, Museum of Art, symphony or something. He
turned it down, which leads me to turn, which leads
me to the bad Geo flexing in front of Dante.
Spare me, Geo, spare me you're flexing. Yeah, I'll see
you over there, your muscle, I get it, flexing in
(18:38):
front of your quote unquote father posturing with him going dude,
get over it. Dante had nothing to do with it,
and you're gonna posture in front of him, and.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Well he's aware of he's also mad about, like how he.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Handled poisoning, the drinking poisoning. Yeah, get over it, Geo,
get over it, and don't Dante.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Don't be squaring up. Yeah, your team gill Yeah, I
am yeahurs again.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You're not gonna see my point. Well, you can understand it,
but you're not gonna be like you're right because you're
all about Geo. I like Geo but I'm I'm keeping
it open mind, quick flexing and give Dante a little
bit of a break now, Okay. I loved this week,
real good stuff. We're alternating here love Dante with Jason.
We called it three weeks ago Jason was due for
(19:28):
an apology from Dante. Dante gave him the apology this
week that I was wrong about you basically your parenting right.
It was a great moment, one of the best scenes
this week. I thought Dante was like, I was wrong.
Just because I raised Roco a certain way doesn't mean
you know Danny and how you do it. And I
mean Jason says, it's a process, it's just how we
do it. Didn't and Dante was like, I'm sorry. I
(19:50):
thought that was great. Jason apology accepted, boom beef squashed,
Let's move on. I like it. I knew Dante was
gonna have to apologize.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I be way with Chase.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, they didn't focus a lot on that this week.
I noticed they gave it a break. They gave it
a break, but anyway, I thought that scene was really
really good with Dante and Jason and Danny and Rocco
over here at the Metro Court, They're like Abbot and
Costello over there. Who gets fired first, It's gonna get
(20:22):
one of them's gonna go. One of them is gonna
go in the pool when it's closed and they should.
AND's gonna have to fire them because he's their boss.
My money's on Danny getting Danny. I say, Rocco lasts
longer than Danny this summer here at the court. What
do you think.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I think it's the opposite.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
No, I mean no, I think Rocco lasts. I'm sorry,
Danny's the first to go, yes, yeah, unless he just
Rocco follows, sup. But I think Rocco's got that Dante
brain again, right, a little conservative. Danny's a little reckless.
I think Danny's the first to get called to HR.
For sure. Who's getting called HR? Danny?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, Well, at this point we don't even know if
Dante is Rocco's bad.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Of course he is. What do you mean because uh, okay,
swell me, okay, explain to me what's going on, because
sometimes you know me, I fast forward a little bit
if I'm bored, Yeah, and guilty of that. What is
going on? So Rocco Falcon area, the file has been
had by Bye Danny. He saw it, what's what's the certificate?
What's going on? So he saw how do I not
(21:23):
know this?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's where we ended off on. I think it was Thursday, Thursday,
and I feel like that's gonna be either today, Monday,
this episode, or like something somewhere down the road.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, this podcast will drop tonight, so if you get it,
you're like, what happens? So the last couple of weeks,
Michael wanted to clarify we've just had our scheduling has
been a little off here at the metro point. But
we're back now and the podcast will drop every Monday
at six am. I could always do so anyway, But

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Favorable ratings by the way across the board. So we
love hearing from you. So what's the certificate thing? Yet? Lulu?
They're all detectives now it's detective Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, no, like Mark, she hired Marco to find the
original birth pacific certificate for a Rocko. Why it wasn't explained,
but it was like in for like like telling the
audience like she wants to get back at Lulu and
(22:44):
it's like, oh, now I know that because.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Rocco is Lulu's sun. Yes, but no, but is that
when we're where we don't know?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
That's where we don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
So do we know who's the dad's dante? I'm confused, okay.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
But I think it was it was I think it
was writt. I think because she had the birth certificate
has the mother and father, and she the mother was writt.
I think. I can't remember that scene, but he had
her a the birth certificate and I was like, oh,
(23:25):
this is for a Benjamin Benjamin something. Then it was
changed a couple of days later to Rocco Falconery.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Okay, okay, I thought, okay, we'll see all plays out.
It'll be interesting. I know Brooklyn has her mindset on it,
so she's going to go all in, but she's it's
her turned to play detective. But with the birth certificates
and the like, Lulu did it to her.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But yeah, but like I don't know, Like Danny found
the file, yeah did.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
And Roco said that my mom said, that's private. Brooklyn said,
your mom, Well what Roco said, Brooklyn said, that's kind
of private, but you should be looking at it.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
But it has your name on it.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, Danny saw Roco's name on it. He has not
said anything at her.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
No, no, no, that's what you did before the scene ended.
It's like, your name is on it. I didn't catch that,
and and then like the camera seemed in on the
name and then it.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Okay, so we'll find out. We'll find out. I don't know.
I don't know. I mean, it's it. I guess it's
only fair that she which is very interesting how she
even thought to go after that in the first place,
Like because the audience we all know that we watched
Ju and watch every year NAP. You just you it's
it's it's just understood that Rocco's parents are Dante and Lu.
(24:49):
Now Lulu also has a obviously another daughter, Charlotte from Valentine.
This goes way back. She was kidnapped the Cassid nine.
H Bring Back the Castadar.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
This was such a good week. I love the good stuff,
the good stuff Sidwell scenes, My god, how intense was
he this week? Did you see the look in his
eyes I saw on the on the I saw a
villain in the making. Now. Now, if anything, he had
a look in his eyes this week when he went
(25:27):
outside staring over the ocean and outside the man, the
cassadine man or whatever. That look in his eyes. He's
got it out for Sonny. Yeah, and I think now
I may have underestimated his villain prowess, if I may say,
I think he could be a great villain. He's got
(25:50):
Sonny's attention.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Well apparently, And I haven't seen the scene that confirmiss,
but apparently people were saying that it was revealed that
he bribed the judge on Michael's and Willows yeah because
she can't.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah. Yeah, he's running a lot of ship behind the
scenes right now. He's controlling a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
The thing is like that kind of helps Sonny, But like,
why why is he involved in that?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't know, but I can't wait to find out.
But I do think you are you getting villain vibes
now from said.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Well, I always had got late to the party.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Oh I still I'm still apprehands up about calling him
a legit villain yet, because we are gonna maybe Drew
would be. I saw something this week in Sidwell's eyes
that told me, Man, do not fuck with this guy,
like like he's got power. Yeah, he's got power, that's
all you're leaning on him. What do we think about Atalia?
What's what's going on? Where's she going? We left her?
She was at the church for the baptism. Well, she's
(26:51):
got balls of steel showing up to that huh my gosh,
just staring down Sunny. That sees Sunny quivering a little
bit too, Like okay, okay, I know you're supposed to
be on. I wonder how that's gonna play out because
she feels like Sonny abandoned me. That was a good scene.
You said that was the best acting you've seen from her. Well, yeah,
when she was abandoned me and yeah, yeah, she was
crying and yeah, I thought it was a good scene.
(27:13):
But she crashed the baptism. Oh man, Like how that
scene's already aired today, so we don't know. We're a
little bit behind. Yeah, but I'm curious to see how
it's gonna play out.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah, I can't. I can't wait for that. I can't.
I don't know what they're gonna do with that character.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Well, I I wanted her to get whacked, Okay. I
think General Hosmald' due for a good whacking. Sonny was
due to establish himself as the mob boss. And I
thought maybe when the Christenings scene, they were gonna pull
a Godfather're gonna christen christ and Daisy, Yeah, and then
whack whack. Natalia would have been dope. I would have
loved the scene her get whacked. We need a good whack.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I think what it's gonna happen that is that he's
gonna try to uh whack saidwell, and I mean sorry,
it's a whole bob boar.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah. All right, So we've got the good the bad.
Now the imagetween stuff is where I'm like, Okay, here's
the thing, what's the deal with you? And I probably
differ on this. Curtis is treating Porsche like he's acting
like a little bitch, like he needs to get over him.
So and the trust and his high road, she's stuck
with him. He couldn't walk for a year. She was faithful.
(28:29):
She stood by her man he needed her, he leaned
on her, and she was there. Now is she perfect? No,
she's not. But he is making her work too hard,
or we thought he was until frightening and then had
a little playplay time in the office. So now that
might be I may have vented all that for nothing
(28:53):
unless they were getting together and they're having passion and
he's gonna be like, this doesn't mean anything, right, Yeah, Like,
and I don't know, you're kind of not a fan.
I love Curtis. Curtis is my guy too, by the way,
so it's it's painful to say this, but he's like,
you know, he's my guy. He's probably my favorite character.
I saw him walking around the Metro court the other day.
They got shredded. He's a good dude. But I think
(29:13):
he's being a little too harsh on Portia. Are you
reading my reddit threads? What are they saying? Are they
whit me or against me or at a little mixed
bag of goods?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, basically someone said a spouse being loyal or when
uh one has a health problem. It's not compatible with
a situation where one keeps breaking in law, lying and
being blackmailt.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Well, she was being blackmailed Brad Hatter, Drew Hatter. What
was she supposed to do? Hey, what do you want
to do? I mean, should she have told Curtis earlier? Yeah,
but it's like one of those things like, well, she
didn't want to disappoint him, and she maybe she would
have told her that is he holding on to that.
I mean she was being blackmailed by Brad and by Drew.
(29:58):
I mean, now that it's out in the open, I'm
gonna miss the blackmail.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
But well he was. She was also she was also
blackmailing uh Rad after a little while after before you left,
so it was like both that's true.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
The blackmail has been off the charts. I think Drewny's
a lighting up. It sounds like he has Porsche walking
in Jordan walking in on him too. Do you see
the look that Porscha gave her, like that's my man, right,
you can see it. And that was a good scene
with the water dumping on her. I thought it was
a bit much by and now I'm gonna knock Porsche too,
(30:42):
But like a little bit hardcore with Jordan at the
pool the other day. Right over there is where she
spilled the you know, she dropped the water on her.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, it's I don't like Portia as a character. You
know she was trying ever so is trying to be
a villain, like the in the innocent villain right, but now,
(31:13):
like what that whole argument with with Curtis in the office,
Like she was right, she was right, but but like
that that's all like who is I can give her?
Like outside that argument is like but well, why why
(31:34):
are you acting like this? Why why? I don't think
she's always doing like the whole woes me about my.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Taking. He's also saying he's also holier than now too,
so I like what Internationalize says on Reddit. I'm a
big fan of Porsie. However, they both keep secrets from
each other. He let will have private gambling games in
the back room with the Savoy without telling Portia, which
was illegal and put his family in harm's way. He
also seems to be having some sort of emotional affair
with Jordan. Portion just needs to grow a spine, stop
(32:06):
whining to your defense, pull the trigger and getting a
divorce asap.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Then the orm something tells me she used like brad ye,
Like I cannot let go with it a relationship, and
I mean she did. It was like she had a
brad moments where it was like tell me that, tell
me that there is help. And then that's when they
(32:32):
started making out in his office.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Another comment, he's sanctimonious. I can't stand either of them,
though someone says he is too judgmental. Get over it,
Annie says, Annie, you and I we know what's up. Although,
of course being disabled to mean a cold hearted manipula
of liar are two very different things. Spider goes, she's
(32:57):
done nothing but lie since she's been on the show
that the person goes well, literally, someone goes, if her
character was never cast, I'd be satisfied. I don't think
she has ever added anything that's trip. You agree with that,
you agree with live ice. A lot of ice is
on here.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Today, that is true. I feel like even though Mike,
like my introduction with her was her uh teaching these
the results on Heather Weather or what what.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
They should bring back? But no, let's delegate Cody. But
let's get rid of Heather. Let's bring back Lucky, Let's
get him Cyrus, Let's bring back Lucky.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Oh, my writers one out there, I think I know
where you're going to your point of your whole like
getting hating U Lucky because he was demanding to like
too much. Bunny, what do.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
You think they a lot of characters, They at let
a lot of lot They let a lot of characters
go to pay his salary. And now general Hospital works again.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Right, No, yeah, but now there, Now they're they're getting
rid of Cody Well like.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Okay, I don't think he was making a bowload of
money anyway, but.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
But they're they're feeing up his his uh two being back.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Pret well, we don't know if it's britt yet.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Well keeping that back that actor.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Kelly, I think how is butcher her name? I think
it's Kelly thebod Who's gonna be great? Okay, Michael, you
had a hot take last week, and I thought it
was the best take. I mean, not as good as mine,
but it was right. No, it was actually a really
good take. Erica Sleezak is coming to Port Charles. Yes,
you said at the end of last week, and I
(34:42):
thought maybe you were reading it, but your hunch was
or you threw up maybe you should come back as Monica.
And I here's the thing before we wrap up this,
uh before we wrap up Man and Soap the podcast.
I thought it was a great take. If the writers
have any sense, they don't, you let her come back
(35:02):
and carry the Monica legacy. They have not acknowledged Leslie
Charles Charleston's death. It was a great take. I posted it.
Then I got they got shut down because it was
a spoiler. I can't get rid of right. Spoiler, Yes, spoiler,
but it's a great take. Bring back, bring back Monica?
(35:25):
Right now with all the quartermain drama? Are you telling
me this girl? Eric says, like I've seen her on
SOS before, like one whatever she was, she's she's great,
age appropriate to play Monica. Why not don't bring her back?
Is she? Is she the one that's looming over Daisy?
Is Sasha looming over day or is uh uh brill?
But we don't know why. Well that's a weird.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Why because she's she's going crazy and she well she is, well, she's.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Going crazy, but she's not creeping into Sasha's home.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
It's not's home, it's a quarter.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
That's a good point. Your right, Well, her room, that
is a good point.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Okay, nothing could take because she's going crazy and he's
like I can't I can't see my kids. Yeah, well
I'm going to take away Michael's newborn so he can't,
so she can't crazy deranged and she's also like she's
mad Sasha because they liked weren't they like?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, yeah, to your point, they're not. So is there
a situation where this could be britt Or Kelly Feebod's character,
because apparently nobody wants hurt day they would kidnapped baby
already like nine hours of foot. I mean, so you
think it could be maybe britt Or Kelly feeboy the
actress her character coming back looking over, could to be
Erica Sleazak, who's in the court that made mansion. But
to your point, you're right, also right, it's got to
(36:46):
be someone that lives there. I didn't you gotta put
Chris do the math. You're right, it's someone that lives
on ground. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
And cousin Cody are the the the security yards like
go like, oh, we know you you're not banned from the
right house.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
You're not wrong. I mean, it's not chaos.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Cody's it's not.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Over baby, Daisy.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I say, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
I'll tell you what I like. Gregas Lee's that coming
back and playing Monica. It reinvigorates the soap. It gets
us a warm blanket character back, but with all the
chaos now and be like, Okay, you're finally getting she
gots you know, she's been up upstairs for two years whatever.
Now it's like, Okay, you're getting better. They can write it,
they can make it work. It's a natural Italian. Now.
(37:39):
The only thing I've read is what you sent me,
or I think what we talked about is that she's
here in a recurring role again or short term contract.
That tells me it might not be Monica. Tells me
unless they're gonna bring Monica back and she's just gonna die.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Would they do that?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
But then again, I don't know what these writers. Yeah,
they might fuck it up again. Let's just kill off
Sonny and Jason too.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I mean, I mean, well, if they killed kill off Monica,
I went mess it.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I won because you don't even know her, you've ever
seen her. I've grown up with her though, So I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
He's gonna have to die eventually.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, I mean, well, but but but with bringing back Ericaslizak,
you could carry on the legacy for a year or
two dealing with all the chaos and the quartermain chaos
because Monica runs the house. This is the part that
you don't know. You know she owns the house, but
you've never seen. Monica's character was powerful. Her and Tracy
had a rivalry. It would be great. Tracy needs a rivalry.
Tracy was great at the press conference. I thought the
(38:40):
press conference was another good stuff this week that I
really liked. I love Cody coming to rescue. I love
Cody coming to rescue on TV. I don't know he
had his crupled receipt. It was great. Chaos. Cody was great.
Drew folded like a launcher. Tracy was great. Tracy, you
said she runs. You said, I'm not against this thought.
You said to me that you think maybe Tracy is
running the roost on General Hospital. Do you think didn't
(39:02):
you say that? You say something like that she carries
the show. Oh yeah, well, her scenes are epic.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I've been saying that since I started sorry watching the show.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
No, I think it's sunny show still, but but you
we're not for I think it's Sonny and Tracy, to
be honest, those characters are strong. So that's why Monica
element bringing back ericas Lezak. I'm saying her name right
as Monica would be a dope. Rica. You are not wrong,
all right? You got previews for next week? Anything that
(39:31):
you're you were seeing that you want to kind of
you were watching some stuff earlier. What do you what
are you seeing for or for this week? I should say, really, right,
what are you seeing for this week? U?
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Natalia are on the couch slowly closing her eyes as
you see, was lying.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
That's the result of going to Sonny Sonny's something and
daughter's christening. Yes, that'd be poisoned. Okay, it's another hot
we'll see. Is that the main thing that you saw
was a big one. Not closing her eyes in disappointment,
but closing her eyes like you messed up.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
And like now closing your eyes like I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Wake well. Remember I said she should get whacked. But
that was not Sunny's original attention, right, he wasn't taking
to believe. Now we'll see she went to the church.
There's there's gonna be a lot. I mean it's gonna
be yeah. And I thought again this week was so good,
Like I mean it was so good. Yeah, we had
(40:45):
great scenes all around this week is gonna be great,
Sunny eighty eight Turner.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Love is in the air.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
I'm telling you, Sunny an eighty eight Turner. What do
you think of that? Am I right? I think I'm
on something? Right? All right?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Right?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
What's gonna happen? Who is overlooking Daisy Well? Curtis and Porsche?
Curtis and Porsche? Are they back? M does that's how
you get wcked? What happens with Drews Drufius and Willow?
Are they gonna get married? Did you see that in
(41:25):
the preview?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I love Adya Turner to Sunday this week, Squeaky clean Guylank.
You would never cross the line, would you. There's a
chemistry there and I called it Sunday's days of a
leading man are not Denski fact there stronger than ever.
