Joining me as always is Megan Granno and Og from GP.
Just like me, Megan, so many rhymes.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I feel like a DJ.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I feel like an old school radio DJ, which, by
the way, well, first of all, hello.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hello, thank you for having me back on your awesome program.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You're so welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Brett says program as well, and always coutch me my Brett,
not Brett from gross Plank Guard Society, my brut who
I call Bryant. But speaking of like radio DJs, and
this is gonna you know, hopefully the people were listening
in the Detroit metro area. And Van can remember a
little radio show morning show called Dick Purton and Purtons people.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I do, I certainly do, remembering even that the name
was so popular that his daughter Jackie per yes I
believe was the name was one of the og second
city Detroit people.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
They knew she would like bring a crowd.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
She brought that crowd, yes Jackie.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
So years later you know she ended up working on
his morning show obviously, Okay, cut to They had a
little like a contest called Perton's Protege if you want
to be Purtin's Protege. It was in like two thousand
and four, two thousand and five, and you can send
(01:59):
in your tape.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Is going where I think this is going?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I hope it's going. I won, And.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh my goodnite.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I can't believe I never told you this story.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
This is so funny.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yes, So it was when I was working at Jay
Walter Thompson, which is a Detroit yeah advertising company that
they now moved it into several different names of Jay
Walter to like Team Detroit to something else to something else.
So but when when I was there, it was Jay Walter,
(02:35):
it was downtown Detroit. But anyway, so that's kind of
around the time when I was working on doing on
the on the side, I was doing improv and working
on my voiceover demo and doing all that stuff while
I was working there. And so I ended up winning
this contest and then so I like won like five
hundred dollars and I got to drive a Jaguar for
(02:56):
a week from like the dealership or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And then because like the finale was at like where
they picked the winner was at like one of the
you know, Royal O'Brian or not that, but like the
Jaguar dealership. You know, my goodness, yes, it was so
fun and that from so skinner driving that I'm sorry,
just side note, like driving around I mean, oh, my goodness, yeah,
(03:22):
I need sensors on the cars, like because.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I was like, like, for here you are again, I'm like.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, I hope hopefully they're loaded without stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
It was so luck then what happened?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So you drove the Jaguar. I drove the Jaguar. I
stole the jet. No, I'm kidding, that would be weird.
So then I just ended up like working on the
show on a nas needed basis as a freelancer, and
I would pitch sketches and then I would go in
because this was during the time of like Hillary Clinton
and Bill and like all that stuff with the cheating,
(03:58):
and then it was also the time when Martha Stewart
was in prison. So I was doing like a lot
of you know, like I fashioned a shove out of
the tooth perorotion and one of my be Hoss helped me.
So I was like, it was really the pinnacle of
a lot of impressions that worked for my wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know what an amazing what an amazing thing and
such a good venue. You're so unbelievably off the charts
talented and impressions and it's just like what that you
got to do it on person?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So and so I just did stuff for them for
a while until then I ended up moving to Chicago,
but that just reminded me. So shout out to Dick
Purton and Purton's people and like big Al he was amazing.
I just and Jackie she was so great. I learned
a lot from her, Megan, because coming in there at
like four point thirty in the morning and seeing her
behind her computer and literally typing up while the show
(04:55):
is going on, and during commercial breaks or even when
Dick Purton was talking, she would be type up sketches
for that morning for them to do. Oh my gosh,
like no one's business crank.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
That is a gift.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That is Yeah, It's like I've seen a couple of
people like that in my life, and it is just
they their brain is just wired differently to do that
because I sort of need to create an environment when
I'm in the mood to write, and I will distract
myself with like cleaning, Oh yes, all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Like I can't just crank like that.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
No you can't. No, I mean I'm talking about us.
We can't crank.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's the whole Like, I've got a big project to
work on and i have to write, and I've never
accomplished more in my home in my life, Like I've
now organized everything.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's amazing, Like give me, give me.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
A deadline for a creative project and my house will
be perfection.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, walls, repainted, everything.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So Megan and I are actually not on purpose, but
we ended up wearing I'm wearing pink and she's wearing green,
and I'm talking like a Kelly Green too.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, I chose the Kelly green because I'm going, this
is the day we are wrapping up this awesome show,
Gross Point Guarden.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Society, and I was like, I gotta do something. I
got to wear some.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Green yep, and she for Amy.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
To show up in that pink, I'm like, oh, it's crazy,
it is really funny.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Meant to be right cross Point.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yes, I also remembered to fill up my amazing twall
shop water bottle. And this is our this Gross Point
Garden Society recap. All these are unofficially sponsored by this
it's just they sent us some of their swag. They
have amazing acrylic trays. As you can see, we went
through this before. But like all of the stuff on
(06:50):
these water bottles and all of their products are landmarks
and things that are reminiscent of gross Point and the
surrounding areas. We have a freighter we've got I think
the war memorial on here are gross Points South, like the.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Fish flies or dragonflies?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yes, just what else do we have there? I don't
have mine with me today. I'm glad one of us
has it.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
So anyway, if you want to look at their products,
go to chwall shop and that's twa l dot shop.
So thank you so much for sending us that stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
We love it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And now we need to get into Oh my god.
So the finale was on Friday.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, and I'm just I just have to tell you
these last three episodes leading up to this, the two
episodes and then the finale, I mean, I have just
been blown away by this show. How every single thing
that they laid out the whole season paid off. This
was a masterclass in paying off, Like every detail that
(07:51):
they put into the show.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And I know that you and I can appreciate that
from an improv standpoint when you're doing the Harolds. For
those of you who like a problem nerds, you know you,
and that is the challenge.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But like to.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Have all these layers of a mystery and then to
wrap them up into and then with the editing magic
of doing the six months six months, six months, and
then of course landing on another mystery. So this is
what I didn't expect. Okay, this is why we all
need to like put our vibes together because we need
(08:27):
a season two.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And I know that.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah. So because they they.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Ended on like next season, now we're like at they're
a little uh. They're at their spectacular.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yes, yes for Halloween and once again amazing decor gross
point leveled, just unbelievable decorations. It looks like an amazing gala, gala,
gala ago.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, but you know what, we're in Michigan, so we're
gonna say gala yella.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Okay, the gyella just incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, and we see this little flash at the end
of three of our characters. We have Brett, Catherine, and Bertie.
Alice is missing. We don't know what's up.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I think she's the one in the duck costume, right, chicky?
Is that a duck or a chick? What is that?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I wrote the same question down.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Okay, yes, I mean that, by the way, So Bertie's
costume is like the Bride of Frankenstein is the sickest
costume I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yes, so cool?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Okay, yeah, so the duck is like, I mean, it's
got to be Alice, right, because so I think.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
But this show has been so full of twists and
turns to me that I don't know. I mean, I
feel like that's what they want us to think, and
then I'm like, it's got to be her, right, But
then I don't think it's like it's Ford. Yeah, oh
call it right now.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
We call it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I call it, We're calling it. We called it. We've
tried to call a lot and most times we've been
pretty dead wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, yeah, like, I don't even know where you want
to begin, but I just want to.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Say, let's say who who died?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Go all right on the count of three, yeah, one, two, three, yee.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's Keith. And now it makes sense why they call
him Keish.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yes, it made so much sense to me finally, and
I'm also was like, yeah, you're bland with fire. It's
really close guys.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, I mean, I'm glad they didn't call him queef
or like, you know, like Heath.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I can only imagine, like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's like, wow, Heath is gone. What are we gonna
do with Heath's body? It's like, you know, a little close.
But we didn't see it coming. We didn't put it together.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Why they threw me for a loop because in whatever
episode it was where we saw that image of Keith
spying on them, I was it's like, oh, so it's
not him, because he's there, so I thought he was.
I really was like, Oh, he's going to be the
one who turns them in. He's going to hold it
over their heads.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It did not occur to me it could be him.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Or that it was an accident, which is obviously so
much nicer because you want to be able to be
on the side of the villains.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yes, and I was really happy that it was an
accident because I have come to love these foursome yes
happy happy accident. This speaking of improv, this whole how
he died reminded me of there's an improv exercise that
I remember doing at IO in class where you would
have they would give you an object and you would
(11:39):
have to figure out a way to die from the
object and the scene.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh really, that's hilarious. I've never known like that. That's
really fun.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Oh it was a riot.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And as we're there in that mac Avenue garden shop
and the wood chippers there, and there's all these tools, dangerous.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Tools hanging on the wall, I'm like, oh my gosh,
this is this improv game. How is he going to die?
I thought he was going to go into the wood chipper.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But no, no, no, no, backwards, he backwards, he fell into.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
The I don't know what it's called.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Who knows what that is? I mean, I don't even
know where to begin.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
A dirt grinder, a dirt, a dirt, yes, mixer up
for a dirt perforator.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's dirt. What a good name?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I think that is what it's called.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It sounds like an insult, you freaking dirt perforator? How
dare you?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Oh my gosh, I'm so insulted.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I cannot believe you get a call from our from
the school. I'm sorry, missus, Scannell, your daughter. She she
calls someone a dirt perforator. Yeah, and that's not out here,
so she's expelled.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
But it's a it's a compliment.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
She's turning the dirt, she's speaking, the dirt fresh for
plants to grow.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
So they have to move the body. Obviously they know this.
We were trying to figure out how we're gonna do this,
how we're gonna do this. Catherine has this brilliant idea, which,
by the way, Tucker and Catherine. Tucker is like, oh yeah, baby.
He's so turned on by the fact that she's like,
you know, you know, so deep in a cheating scandal
and now a murder scandal. He is like, forget about gambling.
(13:19):
I like this, this is my new life.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
This is where I want it.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He is.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Yeah, he's a type tea personality. He likes thrill. I've
decided that I've never heard that you're a thrill seeker, buddy.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Because she's sitting there getting eaten alive by this guilt
from this accidental murder that they've covered up and he's like,
you know, She's like, how do I live with this?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
He's like, just live with it.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Like, let's go to dinner at the Hill. Yeah, I'm sorry.
The grill. They call it the Grill.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's so perfect.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'm like, wait, I actually think there is a restaurant
called like the Grill or like the Girl's Point Grill.
I think in the yes, I feel it's right. Yeah,
he is a Oh my god, Megan, that's so perfect.
He's a thrill seeker. He's a type tea. So he's
just like loving life and he just wants to plaster
her picture all over busses and stuff like that. He's like,
this is my lady, Like let's celebrate her. She's cheater,
(14:13):
she's a murderer, Like, this is my gal. And she's
like I how do I do this? And then she
has this brilliant idea to put Keish in the compost,
which is actually I mean that's a brilliant idea because
we're putting him back in the in the soil, and
it's kind of it's at least ceremonial.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
But when they turned and churned, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Bang, I know, and it was just clunking around in there,
and it just, oh my gosh, but I mean it.
I feel like I have a couple of things I
want to say. I had had up until a week ago,
one of those turnam composters, really because here in Burbank
they made it a requirement that you you know, you
can't put your food waste into your trash anymore.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
So I went an extra mile. They didn't require you
to come for me.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Because you're always like a, oh no, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I quit. I also like to quit things really type
a Q thank you. So I left it.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I tried it first and then I just let it,
left it sitting back there because it was really annoying,
like cranking the thing constantly was like, yeah, this is
a lot of work.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
It's too much work.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So I left it back there and I just sold
it on one of those and not sold, I gave
it away on one of those pie nothing groups, you know,
like Trader. I was like, this is just way too
much work. But that cranking, Oh my gosh. You know,
I'm thinking, oh, this is it's a lot of work.
You're gonna have to crank that thing twice a day
with a body in there.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
And don't you think anyone else in the garden club
is going to end up cranking it and be like, yeah,
Donna's going to be like, oh what the fuck, Like
she's going to freak out, Donna.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Freak But but then as I was like, really, this
is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It's beautiful that for the theme of the show, he's
in the compost at the end.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Just beautiful it.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Is and like the bad yes, like he is part
of the freaking garden from the beginning to the end,
and in a in a nice way. And I kind
of thought, I mean, do I want to be Composted's
like my final resting plane. But I mean, I guess
we're all kind of compost really at the end of
the day. Yeah, but you know, we're just not like
(16:26):
raw compost for there's a coffin or there's an urn.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yes, we'd like to think it's not, but you're right, yeah,
we're going into that.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah, we're composting ourselves.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I like that as an option, you know, for when
you die, Like do you want a coffin, do you
want a cremation or do you want a compost?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
All seas, all seas, Oh my god, the Three Seas
it's not cut carrot and color.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's like some diamonds. It's the three seas of death.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
But wait, also, I do want to mention that, like
if you think about it, I mean, there's just junk underground,
and you know, I mean, like it's just a bunch
of would I guess wood will compost?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Right? Would will?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yes? Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I wonder if they'll come out like Starbucks just came
out with the new compost cups. Have you seen those?
They're compostable? No, yeah, So just be careful because you're
gonna pop a in, you know what I mean, Like
you're gonna make a sacrifice. You're gonna spill it probably
at one point or the other because it's gonna come
a little bit loose.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
But I was like, oh my gosh, good for them.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah, that is that's a big investment.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's not exactly cheap to create these items that are compostable.
I don't think I don't know anything about it, but
I'm just putting that out there.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But like, so, I wonder if they'll eventually offer like
coffin compostable coffins.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
For the environment.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's more like forward.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Thinking business idea right here.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Okay, guys, I already trademarked it, so you can't have it. Okay,
all right, So I know we're kind of going off
the rails here, but I do want to mention back, like, okay,
so we don't know how.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's going to end. Obviously we want a season two.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
So anyone who hasn't watched this, you know, if you're
just listening because you love Real Housewives, you love drama,
Darling and all that stuff, please binge it, binge it,
binge it, binge it. I know you can get it
like on demand on NBC. You can do it on Peacock.
Binge the heck out of it because we have to
have season two. Shows like this don't come around that often,
and I would hate for this to go not come back.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I feel the same way.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's just so fun. It's so much fun, and like
I said, it's just like it's one of those shows
that it pays binging.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
It is the best way because it pays off.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's not these independent episodes that never lead to anything.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's just so fun. It's so rewarding. It's so rewarding.
And Okay, so the one thing that I do remember
calling out was and this is pretty obvious obviously, but
you know the cop Joel. Yes, so his cop that's
sort of under him, you know, dun Okay, thank you Duncan.
Oh my god, that's such a gross point name. By
the way, I knew someone named Duncan. But he, you know,
(19:14):
he was encouraging him to like take the lead on
that on Donna's case when she came in that night.
So now it's spiting him in the little cute you
know what. And so here we have him trying to
follow up on his friend in the red dress and
the bracelet guy and the tweaker and all this stuff,
and he Joel's like, you know what, step off.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, he is in so deep with the cover up
of this thing for Bertie that he is.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I mean, this guy is gonna lose his career. I'm
worried about it.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
No, he's definitely done. I mean he was like Detroit
to belize one way ticket please, and that in comes
the cop. So I was thinking, he's like a close window.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm like, dude, do we get on your work computer?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I got to teach you a few things about police work, right,
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, he's trying to throw Duncan off the scent. I mean,
he's really I feel like he even comes so far
as to tell him, like, you gotta let this go.
Many like it's pretty out there. He's pretty forthright about
that he's involved in something.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
He's pretty like, yeah, he's pretty much like, this is
something that I'm doing and I'm completely involved in my
pro conspirators, So step off, yes. And then we have
Alice that comes in because she needs this long message
to Brett and was like, maybe I do have feelings.
(20:45):
And then it's like then she shows up at the
police station and.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
We're left with the cliffhanger of that because I don't
know what she's gonna do there. But you know, we're
left at the end of this finale episode there trying
to deal with the composting. They're spinning the composter and
she's not there. Nobody's heard from her, right, It's like,
oh my gosh, where where has she gone? There's you know,
(21:11):
there's a lot of things. I still that's why I
want a season two. I want to know more about
because the Patty situation she left, she has just gone
about her blissful life for it seems like five or
six days with her husband.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Gone, she's like, yeah, up at the cabin, just full
on acceptance, you know, just totally ice fishing, can hear?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, No, that's it.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I'm down with it.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And then her son Doug comes home and he's like,
what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Dad wasn't there at all.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And it's like, oh my goodness, what is going to
happen here? And I don't know. I want to know
what she's going to do.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, yeah, she's like, it happened.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
That's Lisa Barlow from the Okay. I also love that
the finale episode began with Patty digging or like filling
in the hole, and then we're like, oh, okay, so
she's obviously burying the dog.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
We didn't know what she was bearing because the dog
was found, not buried, right, Okay, that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Then of course we get right, I don't remember now.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I can't either, huh yeah, but they're definitely burying the dog.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah okay, I think, yeah, yeah, so and then of
course we get the immediate scene in Marylynd's kitchen, which
was very gp yes, and she was like yeah, and
then they get down to business, where's my freaking quilt?
And then the next thing, you know, later on, why
do they have this estranged friendship.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
It's because.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Poor Marilyn. I mean, she just should have come clean.
You know, she's a complete accident. But her firing off
that block or whatever it was in her front yard
just willy nilly into the night shooting.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I'm like, oh, lady with a gun.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
No, not a.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Good idea, Not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
And I love that. Patty's like, I told you to
take a class, And I was like, yes, that's something.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
You would say.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You would have taken that class absolutely several yes, yes,
a plus.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Student in guns, thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I'd be like, I played I know guns. I played
Duck Hunt on Callecovision. I know what's cook click click,
I got this.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
No, but poor poor Marylyn. And the fact that, like
then Patty was like, keep this handkerchief, yeah, to remind
you of what you did. It's like, okay, it was
an accident.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Total accident. She loves her cat so much.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
She thought her cat was getting mutilated by a coyote.
I'd probably go out shooting too, you know, but I.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Want to know how Marylyn, like we know that. Okay,
So Alice and Brett live I'm guessing in the gross
Pointe Park apartment area, right, yeah, Marylyn is called the
cabbage Patch. Yeah, okay, right, the cabbage patch, which I've
had I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Did you ever live in the cabbage Patch?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
No, my brother and his wife did. That was like
where they first lived when they got married.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Okay, I did. I lived there on Beaconsfield and two
different apartments, and then on Trombley. But I'm thinking if oh,
that would make sense, I mean, I don't know, because
when I lived on Trombley, that was a kind of
a nicer.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Area of the cabbage patch.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yes, but because it was closer in Because I'm thinking,
how would her dog get over to that nice house,
because she's definitely more in the city.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Than totally totally.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Maybe she's just in a nicer area of the park.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, that could be because it was to that distance.
In real Gross Point geography, it would be too far
for the dog to be wandering, right, So you know
we have a problem there that we know the GP
geography too well, so.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
We know and then but also it's they can't establish
they could not establish early on that the dog has
a wandering spirit, because then we would have been like, oh,
we would.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Have seen that coming.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
So yes, yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, but it was yet another twist here because I
really thought the last few episodes that we were leading
up to, I mean, the whole reason this, this murder accidental
murder happens is because I.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Thought Patty killed the dog.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So it was like such a reveal that it was
Marilyn of all people. But you know, I thought, Alice
says in that moment to Marilyn. They have this moment,
this talk where Marilyn admits that she's the one who
killed the dog, and Alice is like, you have no
idea how different things would be.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yeah, if you had just.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Told me that, I was like, we got a dead
man in a compost, Ben now.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Wrapped in a quilt that you will never see.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Just tell me where the quill is already. Alice.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh, she is like such a great character. Her and
that investigative like home. What was the name of that
show with Claire Danes, Like Homeland or something like that.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yes, yes, Homeland, Yeah it was it called Homeland.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Okay, And there they've got like the board up with
all the different things, and Donna is like eating them
up and she's like, we're not on.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Break, Donna. They're trying to find where the quilt was kidnapped.
I love to nay kidnapped. You're right, the kidnap.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I forgot about these springs and oh my gosh, it
was a perfect mind meets homeland and.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Like, yeah, perfect mine.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Okay, but then we have oh yeah, a beautiful I
understood exactly what you're saying. You well, when we discover that, wait,

we are back talking Gross Point Guarden Society. I'm with
Megan Grano. Last week, Megan and I recorded an episode
(28:43):
covering episodes eleven and twelve. And this hasn't happened since
I started podcasting. But because of the way that my
system is set up, and long story short, the record
button wasn't hit and.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
None of it was recorded.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Yeah, moment of silence for that amazing episode. M thank
you so and then so here we are having to
kind of go back. But Megan, you were talking about,
like last week how much you loved eleven and twelve
and like the Monaco party, the discovery that Patty is
from gros Eel.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
And how they're always hanging it over this poor lady's
head like you're not from here.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It's just brutal, and I feel like very real.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I like it, Yeah, because that's what wasn't Marilyn holding
that over her head? Yeah, she was like, now we're
even because she helped her bury the dog or whatever,
and yes, but then by the end she was like,
I'm from Grociel, proud right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, And the thing is for people who may not know,
Grociel is a beautiful community, huge homes, beautiful area. But
it's like an isle.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah, an isle a gross eye island. Big island is
the French translation.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Okay, I love it when you speak French, but.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
This it's just gross. Pointers feel very much like but
it's not gross point.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Right, just because as a gross and it doesn't mean
it's the point. It's the it's the e.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
But no, I remember going there, like my friend's grandmother
had a place there and it was so awesome and
so beautiful. She had a huge trampoline. We'd be there
in the summer. It's just lovely, jump in, just jumping
into our you know, our puberty.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Bouncing away into those hormones. Just a great time.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
So that that was always fun.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Now the blackmail of the PIU showing up and taking
pictures and being like, so.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, what a creep I mean, I'm like, this guy
is so creepy and just what another fun moment, Like
I thought, as he's trying to bribe them and get
this money, This was one of my favorite scenes that
he's like they're trying to who's gonna give it first?
Like are you gonna give me the money or am
I gonna give you the pictures in the sim card?
And they can't decide. They sort of like he grabs
(31:11):
the money out of her.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Hands and shakes it open and Bertie's filled it with
puzzle pieces, which is just I loved, I loved, And
then so I'm like already laughing, and then he falls
over and has a heart attack, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like, this scene is I've ever just kissed to the
heart attack?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
And then them being like, ah, do we.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
A're you gonna like fully embrace being bad? Or and
then cut to like they did do CPR And now
he's in the hospital and the daughter's like, thank you.
You guys are angels. I fucking hate him, yes, but
like he is an angel. And I was like, she's
dealing with some stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
You know, she's complessed, she's grateful.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah, she's like, you know, it sounds like she's never
had a picture with him in her life or something
like that. I think she mentioned she you know, she
has no real fond memories. But he's offering to pay
for her college. So I think that brings out some
moment of forgiveness.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yes, yes, and that's why.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
He was bribing them. He was bribing them to pay
for her college. He had good motives. Everybody has good motives.
It just goes awry.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
It goes awry.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
But yeah, at the end of it, at the end
of the day, I like that it has it. They
keep it within the confines of you still are gonna
like people in this show, you know, yes, yes, and
the dark. I think that the dark comedy is a
great way to make all of this work. It with
(32:41):
the background of like a garden. It's just it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
It is it is and just a high level like
how everyone One of the things they nailed on this
show is just how concerned everyone is with their appearance.
One of my favorite lines in this is in that
Marilyn and Patty moment when the when the dog dies
and she's like, I need your help. You know, buzz
is running for reelection from may or. I can't have
(33:04):
this dead dog on the It could ruin his reelection.
This could be the chap equittic of gross point. And
I was like, that's an incredible line, that's right, Oh
so good, so good.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Nobody wants their gross point image tarnished with a murder.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Oh gosh, no, Oh my gosh, are you crazy? I
loved all the parties. The Monaco party looked amazing. Yes,
And obviously I hope we get to the real spectacular
because that is certainly, you know, that's where we want
to go. And I do want to mention that I
appreciate as we wrap this up. Is there anything else
(33:46):
that you want to say about like the last few
episodes in the finale before I wrap it up.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
I do want to know.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Is I hope again we get another season of this
because I want to know where the Connor Melissa Brett
storyline ends up, because we left it in this episode
where I don't know if Brett is going to be
with Alice, you know, I don't know where that whole
relationship stands, and Melissa is divorcing Connor and they Connor
(34:16):
has the scene with Brett at the bar where he
keeps calling him Champ, which just cracked me up. That
was so obnoxious. I was like, oh, stop calling him Champ,
and Brett's like, please stop calling me. But I was like,
I want to know who's going to end up with who.
It's so yeah, I'm really curious about that relationship, right.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I also am glad that we saw the arc of
what's very relatable with Melissa holding custody over Brett's head
out of just spite.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yes, it's very relatable.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
It happens so often more times than we could, you know,
shake a stick at and for her to you know,
reel that back in and then make the right choice was.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Really nice to see so happy, Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Want to see that happen, and her being like I
want full custody and then I want to go back
to work and I'm like, well then who's going to
take care of the kids? Why I want full custody?
That doesn't answer, and I want a divorce, and so
that was nice. Yeah, Connor bye bye.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Kind of feel bad for that guy, but what are
you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I love that he got kicked out of that bar
because he had been drinking too much and the guy
was like all right, pal, and it's like he just
that is I mean, you know, that's a gross point kickout.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That is not a Detroit kickout. That is not an
l a kickout.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
We you know balanced you you've had too much to drink.
He was just a gentleman. He was lovely, you know
what I mean. And he just swaggered on out, I
mean that is.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
And probably got in his car and drove home a.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
One hundred.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Yeah he was. That was a real gross Point throwout,
no doubt about it. No crashing through windows.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Nobody getting ejected out the back door into a dumpster,
just like alrighty then ah right, And.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
He was like, indeed, I will, I will show myself
out like no no resistance. But as we wrap up
this this season of gross Point Garden Society, Megan and
