So roundtable comes see me as in the pizza.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
The second you you you said roundtable, I was like
Michael Madison's fat ass is talking about pizza.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
That's not the pizza I am getting.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
I was driving the raising canes the other day and
the Roundtable pizza across the street from the Raising games.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Did you almost dilemma?

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, but I went with I went with my I
went with raisin pains.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
That's that's like when I when I when I go
to the other Cracker Barrel. The dilemma is do I
go to Crackle Barrel or do I go to Texas Roadhouse?

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Mm hmm out in Ontario or or uh.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's what it rialto.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh, I know one of you must have retweeted that
are reposted. That segment that ran around this week about
how there was there was one Trader Joe's across the
street from another Trader joe That.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
Yeah, where was that that?

Speaker 6 (05:39):
Sherman Oaks River and riverside by that mall that then
Sherman Oaks Mall. There's there's the original Trader Joe's. Then
they opened to second Trader Joe's on the bottom level
of this new like mixed use building and then not
closing the old Trader joe. So now there's gonna be
two trader shows crossroads, similar to the two Sev's across

(06:01):
the street from each other in Studio City.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Oh yeah, hashtag abundant opulence.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, you know, you know what's the good thing about
that is think about it. You go to that Trader
Joe's and if the Trader Joe's across the street is
out of the thing you're looking for, you just walk.

Speaker 7 (06:16):
Across the street. Are they franchise? Like, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I don't know everything.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
It's You would think that we, you know, living in
weird times would be weird enough, and then people start
making weird decisions regarding food and stores, and yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
We are living in weird times.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, I drove by.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
I drove by Rosco's Chicken Waffles yesterday and I almost stopped,
but I would just I've been up since so early.
I was so tired.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
So I was like, I, instead of going to Roscoe's,
I want you to go to Fixing's in downtown.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, it's gonna be.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
Oh no, we've been there. Remember we went there made
or we went there for lunch during day?

Speaker 8 (07:04):
Oh we did that's that was the place.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, we went there.

Speaker 1 (07:07):

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah. Just and I had a nice time. We met
some fans. It was it was cool.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Well, now that I went to FIS, I wish I
would have stayed.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
We can we now do it? Can we now do
an outing to Fixings? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, that's close enough by me that I will allow it.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Fine, Fine, okay, well well we'll figure that out. Maybe
one day we'll do a fan meet up. Meet up Fixings.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
We could absolutely do that. I think that would be
a blast. That would be did something will work on
for for a day of days next year?

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah? If time allowing, time allowing?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh yeah, because of days. It's a long day, a.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Long day, it's a long weekend. It's a long weekend.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Not for Michael Maddis. Tony was hiding backstage from all
the crazy fans. I wish honey, I was front, I
was front, and Santa, thank you, Christian Meworld. I knew
you were going to come in with your super chat.
That's for John, for John Memorial.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, yeah, we'll get into that, and I'm going to
get into it sober today, guys. I got tea today,
but I think Megan Bizarro is it's drinking enough for
all of us.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Person all right, y'all. I mean, as you can see,
like we we all haven't been around each other in
quite some time, and we do get around each other.
We forget that we're doing the show, but we're also
catching up. But we're also like like spending time with

(09:08):
each other. There's a lot that's happening.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
There's been a lot going on.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yes, yes, but we do it all with a smile
on our face and our bellies full. What never mind. Anyway,
what did y'all think of this week's episodes of Day Oh?
Before we get into that, I saw like comments the

(09:35):
fact that half of us were gone last week for
John's memorial, and some people were like I saw someone say, like,
you would think they would have just canceled the show.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
I'm like, did you watch?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
We couldn't. We couldn't do that, like you know, unfortunately,
like two of us couldn't be here. But I felt
like Michael Madison, justin Lee Harrel did a great job
by themselves.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yes, thought we did fine.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You did great, Michael, you did great. But I think
they were thinking, yeah, it was such a human being
that we should have been here. But that but you know, again,
we can, we can touch on it like a week later.
It's fine because you know RSELI is.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I mean, you know, it was a lot.

Speaker 8 (10:23):
No, I mean no, it was.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
It was.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
It was a lot. And I'll be honest. I was
kind of late in my watching because John's morrole coincided
with my last week of work, so I could I
wanted to sit down and be fully present for those episodes,
and so basically I watched all of the Vets episodes
in one sitting where I started with Johnson Memorial and

(10:48):
I kind of ended with you know, this week with
Bo and Hope, and so I was really like deep
in my feels for all of this where it's like, okay,
you know, it was really emotional, and I think they're
our audience, and I appreciate our audience for like wanting
to see us respond to that, but you know, it

(11:10):
was it was just so much and I feel like
everything we kind of touched on, all of our feelings
up until this point, we've been talking this pretty much
everything we've been talking about for the last nine months,
ever since Drake passed. You know, I feel like we've
said all there is to say, you know, and you
know when the cast has said everything I think there

(11:33):
is to say up till this point, and now it's
just about how do we, uh, how do we move forward?
How does the show move forward? You know, we're all
still kind of every I think everybody is just in
a collective still processing mode.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, before we get into this week, OURSELLI is there
anything you want to say about the memorial?

Speaker 3 (11:58):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
I mean, this slate of shows was was Emmy worthy. Definitely,
it was everything you could want for the man, the actor,
the character, for this cast, this incredible cast past and present.

(12:21):
I'm so proud of everyone who participated, you know, you know,
we're proud of the individuals who put their all, from
you know, the writing, the directing, the cast, everyone who
gave it there all because they put in all their
heart and that I think that is what separates soaps

(12:46):
from other shows.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah. I I had to keep reminding myself that this
was for John and not for Drake, because I feel
like the two were intertwine. I feel like they were
in character Morning John, but in real life Morning Drake,
even though Drake was still alive. I think there was

(13:13):
a lot of emotions going on and I and I
felt like you saw real, raw emotions with each person
as their character. And I feel like even sometimes they
might have jumped out of their character and just they

(13:35):
were just them, like Eric Martsov's whole thing. Like I
felt like even though he was doing it as Brady,
but I also felt like it was just Eric.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, and it felt and it felt so it didn't
feel actory or anything like that, Like it felt so real,
even like because I was even he was like, you know, tink.
You know, you wanted to to laugh and you know that,
And I'm like, but that's such a It's felt like
such a real moment that you had to stay in
character for if that makes sense, instead of being like,

(14:12):
you know, Martha, I know, it was like, you know,
remember she's bell in this moment, you know, but it
felt unscripted and very real, you know. But they were
also enjoying the memories of not only John but Drake.
So I thought it was I thought it was great,
and it was. It was one of those moments where

(14:37):
I wondered, like how they felt like kind of bracing
themselves to come into the scene and then to see
how they did the memorial with like the photos and
the urn and like, you know, do you do you
ask to see it before just so you can prep yourself.
Do you go about your day and then you come

(14:58):
to say and you're like, you know, like I had
a lot of questions, but overall I thought it was beautiful.
It was a beautiful Sindo. So thank you Drake, Rest
in peace. Thank you John Black. Swing for the Fences.
Now on to this week. What do we think of

(15:20):
this week's episodes of Day Oh My God, we took
thirty minutes to even get to that part. What do
we think of this week's episodes of Days? It was good.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
It was good, not as you know, coming off of
last week.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
It was nice to have a I guess it was
nice this week to kind of have like a soft landing,
so to speak. They didn't go they went back to
like regular scheduled programming, but I do feel like they,
and whether.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
This was conscientious or not, kind of eased.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
Back into things. And then you know, we had some
a mile, you know, a milestone to celebrate with a
character slash slash actor, which was a lot of flashbacks
this week. What you're which are always fun to watch
the flashbacks. Beautiful gowns.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, oh, beautiful gowns.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
That's what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Now, you don't need it as shade.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
I just get I feel like I need to say
something else.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
But you know, but you know that what said in
it was shade. So the second year, you're like, this
is you know, the week was fine, you know, beautiful gowns.
It's like it's like you're trying to find something nice
to say about the league, so we're just gonna say
beautiful gowns.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Uh, you know what it was this is this week
was very much kind of what I call the June theme,
which is June is very much a transition a month,
you know what I mean, you're graduation happening. It's halfway
through the year that you know, in larger that's the

(17:00):
larger grand scheme of things. And then it's like everything's
in transition now because we we we we talked and
talked and talked about, you know, getting through John's memorial.
So now it's like the now it's as transitioning to Okay,
what's what does what does Salem look like?

Speaker 3 (17:15):
After that?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
What are you know, these students are graduating, what does
it what do their lives look like? Everyone is in
some kind of transition, whether you're retiring and retiring, graduating morning.
Everything life is very much inflex right now.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
So that was kind of the theme of the week.

Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yeah, I still think we were starting to like we're
getting the new writers. We're getting like their stuff that
they're bringing to the table as opposed to like maybe
what they were finishing up of wrongs or like you
know what was already sort of coming down the pipe.
I feel like in some of the stories and we'll
talk about it. We got very quickly like answers to
questions we've had, or or or avenues. We thought storylines

(17:56):
were going to go, and they very quickly said, no,
we're not going to do that. We're going in different direction.
So it's like, oh, this is the new writers like
coming in and like, this is what they're bringing to
the table. These are the stories we want to focus on,
These are the people we want to sort of highlight,
or this is where we want to take these stories.
So I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 9 (18:15):
Yeah, I thought it was fine.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
You did not post anything to upset as Teresa. We're just.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Talking about and Si on last show. Sorry if posts
something to upset you guys.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
No, no, no, guys, Like look life, life is in
transition as we are. We had, you know, we have
you know, work obligations. Like that's why, like it took
us fifteen people, notice we took us fifteen minutes to
get on the air today. We just everything's kind of
crazy right now. Life is crazy. Life is crazy, the
show is crazy. We're crazy.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Just let's just get into it.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, because I was watching this week and I thought
to myself, I mean, we have to come in today.

Speaker 6 (19:10):
There's one there's one episode where I saw the credit
the credits started to roll, and I was like, Okay.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
You say that we didn't have to come in today,
but then based on how long it took us to
get in the air today, I'm like, no, we have
to come in today because, yeah, because otherwise we're just
pushing it down the road.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
And yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
I mean, I was struggling to get through Friday's episode.
I don't know why, Like, there were moments where I
was just like, oh, and then I was like, I
feel like I missed something and I was like, I
think you're just sleepy. Probably that too beautiful gowns. Well,
let's get into it. Shall wait to see if we
can wake me up, Hannah. It is now time. Here

(19:57):
we go. It is now time to start what two? Three? Wow? Okay,
we're getting better at that, and let's set that and
forget it all right, Let's go into our top storylines
and we will start with our first one, which is.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
The Devil's Bargain.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
And we were talking about good old Philip and Xander
and the fact that Xander whoop Phillips ass.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
I knew when Philip woke up and said it wasn't Xander.
I was like, Oh, they had a conversation that we
didn't see, and they agreed to keep quiet about everything,
and yeah, that's what happened.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I just wish that that moment didn't happen. I need to,
I need to understand the bigger purpose because I feel
like they could have agreed to this without the ass.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
Whoopan oh well Xander wasn't. Yeah, he needed he needed
a wake up call, and he didn't get that till
after yeah, after his Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
But still, I just I feel like I need to.
I need to understand why he had to beat Philip
up so bad, and why this this huge shift in
Sarah and Xander's relationship, Like I need to understand where

(21:38):
this is going, because right now I'm kind of like,
did we need this sort of shake up? Did we need?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Like?

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Could this have been done?

Speaker 6 (21:53):
I mean, I don't know how you think it would have,
how you envision it going differently, But I honestly, I
feel like their relationship has been a ticking time bomb
for for months, Like I.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Think so oh because of the because of the secret, right.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
The secret, and then I knew that was gonna we
knew it, We knew he was gonna well, he was
ended up being angry at both of them and he
just you know, beat Philip up and was all mad
at Sarah.

Speaker 5 (22:20):
I just feel like, you know, she couldn't trust.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
That her husband was not going to do something violent,
and so she lied and then wrote other people into
the lie, and then it went on for months and months,
and when it finally came out, Yeah, it did. It
triggered exactly what she was afraid it was gonna trigger.
And you know it it for me, the even the

(22:43):
secrets of events makes complete sense to me. Yeah, it
makes sense that Xander's anger got to the point where
he reverted to his old ways, and we've seen that
it makes sense that he reverted.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
To his old ways.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
He almost reverted to his old ways, not even a
year ago, when he almost wanted to kill Brady, or
when he shot Philip not knowing that the gun was empty.
You know, So it makes complete sense to all of
this happened, and now you know, these couples aren't happy forever,
and it wouldn't make sense that after you know, obviously

(23:18):
it wouldn't make sense after the beat up and the
reveal of the secret that at this point Sarah and
Xander could be copeathetic with each other.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
They needed this, this needed this. What am I trying
to say? This drama, this conflict.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
I'm honestly here for it because it's like it, you know,
we had so long where it was just Sarah trying
to keep this secret, Xander being clueless about it, and
now we're seeing the after effects of it, and Paul
and Lindsey are playing it very masterfully. I love their
scenes when they're you know, happy, and I love their

(23:56):
scenes when they're you know, wanting.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
To punch each other in the face. So it's all,
it's all good.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I just think for me, can we play Electric Youth
to wait? Tony up? Y'all are mean? Told you all,
I'm tired. Here's the thing, Michael mad As you you uh,
you mentioned like, how did I envision this going? I
think I envisioned this. I braced myself for the reveal

(24:24):
of the secret, and I am and I envisioned Xander
being upset, but I envisioned Xander where he is now
a little like more aware and remorseful of the anger
during the reveal, if that makes sense, Like I one

(24:45):
would hope that everything that has happened and transpired in
the past would make sure that he didn't react in
this way, and then he did, and then it's like
every now, I didn't imagine all of this. I didn't
imagine him and Sarah like going through this and Sarah
literally having the up still having the upper hand in

(25:07):
this situation, which I don't even that's such a weird
power play, yeah, because I would think that she would
be more remorseful, but instead she like has held on
to the upper hand and being like I knew you
were gonna act like that, So now you can't see
your daughter, I don't want to be around you. Get

(25:28):
out of this house.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
And but she she how is this different from what
she did originally trying to keep Victoria from Xander. It's
it's exactly I feel like this is exactly what she
would do.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
True, But I just I guess I just wished better
for the characters, Like I just wish that the that
I wish it went a different way. And I definitely
don't want didn't want Philip to be beaten the way
that he was, so I.

Speaker 6 (25:56):
Feel like they were gonna make him get beat that bad, Like, yeah,
I thought it was just going to be like a
fight between them or no, it was yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, And so I'm just kind of y'all know, I'm
a fan with open arms. I just need to understand,
like the dots are here, right, I need I need
to slowly start seeing the dots connect to make it
all make sense of like, Okay, if they, if they,

(26:25):
if Philip didn't get beat up, then this wouldn't happen,
So that allowed this to happen. Okay, I get it now,
because right now, all I'm just kind of seeing is
like why did we beat up Philip? Why do we
have this huge mess between Xander and Sarah? Why does
Sarah have the upper hand on Xander when in actuality

(26:46):
you all lie to him, but somehow he's still he
is still made out to be a dirty dog. I mean,
granted he beats up and all that, but but it's like,
in this situation, it should be Xander being allowed to

(27:06):
have those emotions because the people that he cared about lied.
But instead what we have is Xander kind of being
the person that were like, how dare you instead of
the person that we're like, dang, I feel sorry for you, dude,
Like I get it, like every like the love of
your life was lying, your brother was lying.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Dang, that doesn't excuse beating if.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
You minus the beating, like if the beating didn't I'm saying,
if the beating didn't happen, like I'm saying we should that.
I feel like that's how we should feel for Xander,
like take away like him, like I mean, letting him
blow up, but minus the beating, Philip, Like we should

(27:53):
be like we understand why Sarah did it, but like
he didn't, he didn't react in that way. So now
you kept this secret from him for this long, and
you roped in all these other people, and now everyone's
lying to him, and now it's blowing up in his face,
and we should feel more like all poor Xander instead
of damn Xander, Like why you had to go and

(28:16):
prove Sarah right to the max, like not even just
a little bit, like to the max.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
I don't know, I just I.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
Like where this has let in terms of entertainment, you know,
you know what I mean, It's led to some entertaining stuff, and.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
In terms of.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
Any kind of guilt, like lack of guilt on Sarah's heart.
I do feel like she doesn't show it to Xander,
but I do feel like she does have that conflict
inside of her because she broke down to Maggie.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Was it last week?

Speaker 3 (28:52):
This week?

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Yeah, she had a moment where she broke down, and
I feel like Sarah had. Sarah feels like when she's
with Xander, she to be forceful, she has to have
the upper hand for whatever reason, but in reality, she's
you know, I feel like she has that conflict, she's
just not showing it.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
I think that you two.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
Touched on the same point with both Sarah and Xander,
which is that I and I feel like this might
be where this is going in terms of, you know,
the what's the point question that we're all we're all

(29:34):
hovering around, is that you know, they both need to
feel that their worst emotions, like the worst parts of themselves,
that they are safe to share those worst parts of
themselves with each other. And there and they're in lie

(29:58):
There in lies the conflict where Sarah feels, as Michael said,
Sarah feels like she always needs to have control over
the situation, that she needs that, like she needs to
have some kind of control over Xander, but like because
because she knows him so well, but then that cuts

(30:18):
Xander off from being able to share his worst fears,
his his his emotions over what he could possibly do,
and Xander needs and Xander needs to feel like he
can trust Sarah with his worst impulses without her going
off the rails as well, without her pulling the Okay, now,

(30:40):
I make the decisions, you know what I mean. So
it's almost like they're they're they're they have the same
issue where they said that they trust each other. But
you know, loving someone does mean you have you and
living with them means you have to you got to
take when you say that they say you take eat

(31:01):
the bad with the good, you you have to take
the bad with the good. And if you can't, it
ain't gonna work.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
And it didn't for months now, it just doesn't seem
like more on Sarah. Sarah is not able to take
the bad little bit, and so.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
That's the real test. And ironically transfer that over to
the brothers who who were actually able to have a
real honest conversation and Xander seemed honestly remorseful and Philip
seemed to honestly believe him. So it's weird, maybe, and

(31:42):
maybe that's maybe that's the product of them both being
victor sons and them both being massive screw ups. Where
part of part of the pun for Philip's leg, but
neither one of them have the leg to stand on
in terms of their bad behavior, so that people say, well, like,
how can Philip forgive Xander? Well, because you know what,

(32:05):
Phillips pulled some crap in his day too.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
M hmm.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
This is the same guy who faked his death and
framed Brady for it, so I think and left his
leg and left his legs like to stand on. So
it's kind of like them being having made like the
worst mistakes of their lives. I think allows them a
different understanding and more and possibility for more forgiveness for

(32:34):
each other.

Speaker 7 (32:36):
I think I think they wanted to honestly give Xander
and Sarah break. I think this was their way to
legitimately do that, by having him go so far to
the deep end with that much violence that it forces
her to say I don't want to Yeah, it's it's
we can end this and kind of do it in anger.
I also think there there there's moving forward with other

(32:58):
things that we got a little bit of hint that
this week. I feel like they're they're branching them off
to other people, and I think that's why we had
that storyline. Two things I didn't love. I expected the
Phillip and Xanderson to play out just like it did,
so I assume that was gonna happen. I don't like
that it was Xander's idea, though I thought it would
be Phillip's idea. I kind of I don't know. It's

(33:20):
bugging me that it's Xander going to him because I
feel like it would mean more if Philip woke up
and was like, I'm going to cover for you. I
realized it is something bad. But having Xander sort of
not that held tricked him into it, but he sort
of reasoned with him and it made sense to Philip.
But it was also like I wish it had come
from Philip.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
I also that would have been sorry, like an unexpected
little twist to it.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
I also don't understand the let's not tell Sarah you're
the one who told me. I'm like, you're already broken up.
You're broken up at this point.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (33:53):
I didn't understand the need to like make that now
a separate thing to keep I didn't understand like what would.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
Be I under I understood it, but now I don't
remember why I understood it.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, that was that part still confuses me too. To
your point about if Philip would have been the initiator
of that that truce.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
I think he would have gotten there. I honestly do.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
But I think it just had to move so fast
because Xander didn't have a lot of time before the
security guard came back. I do think if Philip had
had the time to get there, he would have gotten
there on his own.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
Oh yeah, and we think that we were on board
that Xander drug the guard, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
I thought it was just a coffee.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
I mean, okay, okay, So granted coffee can have that
can have that effect on you, but it's not common, right. Yeah, Xander,
you know, got into the room at the same time
he was having the splats from you know, was having

(35:03):
the spots from the coffee. It's yeah, Xander did something
to that coffee. And so like he's still doing shit,
like and we say, like, oh, he was so remorseful
to Philip with his apology, was he Can we really
trust what what Xander says and does?

Speaker 5 (35:18):
Right now?

Speaker 6 (35:19):
It's it's gonna be rough because I can't say that
I do because it was that apology and I was like,
he's trying to save face because everyone knows he did it,
whether you know he's gonna get punished for it or not.
He's in you know, the company and the mergers. In
order for that to you know, hold firm, they have
to get along, blah blah blah. I'm like, I felt

(35:41):
like he said it because he felt he had to,
not necessarily because he meant it. Do you question Xander's regrets?

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Isn't? Does it? Didn't something happen with Philip that he
covered for someone else.

Speaker 7 (35:58):
For hmhmm recently.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
In the in the in the Philip history. Like I
feel like maybe I'm making this up because it almost
feels like deja vous a little bit, where like he
got beat up, wakes up and goes, okay, yeah he
didn't do it, and I'm like, Okay, he's protecting someone again.
But I feel like he's done this before. Has he known?

Speaker 7 (36:28):
Maybe did him and Seawan ever get like really fight fight.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
A while ago? But I don't think it led to
Lake kind of covering.

Speaker 7 (36:38):
For I just I'm not remembering anything.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Yeah, not to this extent. I can't. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
No, The last time I remember him covering for anyone
was like way back in the day, for Chloe.

Speaker 7 (36:52):
Maybe that's what it is, yeah when Yeah, he covered
for Chloe.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Once, but he's covered for Chloe a couple of times
on different occasions.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Chlois's lobster. Of course he's gonna cook.

Speaker 7 (37:08):
But they are kind of teetering with Xander because right
before he sort of gave that sincere apology, which I
believe he also was there to kill Philip, so he
was about to show. I believe it because I think
he's desperate. Yeah, but I think he's I think he's struggling,
and that's why I think they're they're they're teetering with

(37:29):
taking him too far. Like I think that going to
was too far. Actually I don't. I don't think the
meeting was too far. I think it was violent and
it was bad, but I don't think it's out of
the realm of what he would do. I think going
to suffocate him as he was about to wake up,
I think it's a little much.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
I feel like because we all watched it and it
felt very like, oh girl, are you gonna stop? Like
it just kept going like if he had punched him
like once like they normally do, just like a dude,
and he was able to go, oh, you know great,
he he beat the hell out of that man. Although

(38:12):
why when I was sitting here and Philip said, the
only reason why you were able to do that was
because of my artificial leg and I lost ballance, Why
did I sit here and picture suddenly Philip being like
and just start like beating him with.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
Liked house wife do that.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yes, the only thing that's fake about me is this
leg and she like do it on the on the table.
But can you imagine if, like during that fight, suddenly
Philip just started beating Xander with the wooden leg and
then they both were a mess, and Kate walked in
and like what dragged out fight happened in the year.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
Kate walked in, saw them fighting and probably just turned
around left.

Speaker 7 (39:00):
It's like, how about that to do with that or
like threw water on him or something.

Speaker 6 (39:06):
She would have watched it for a minute before she
stopped them, like the moment where you want to watch
it and then you're like, okay, break.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Bell doesn't believe Philip either. Yeah, Bell's like, yeah, I
am not buying any of this.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Then poor poor.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
Jada having to take it from Kate because there's nothing
they can do because Philip's not And then she's like
you hear the click? Hello, we got we got the
old Kate back so far? And then there's this animosity
with her and Xander. I'm curious how this is going.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
To play out between Kate and Xander.

Speaker 7 (39:56):
Yeah, with her possibly working a tight end again exactly.

Speaker 6 (40:00):
And yeah, and Kate never really they've never you know,
had any substantial interactions before thenial.

Speaker 7 (40:12):
No, like stuff back and forth, but no, not during the.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Body and Soul.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
They had a moment and I can't remember what it
was about. I think it was about Philip.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Phil Can I ask this while we're talking about Kate?

Speaker 6 (40:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:29):
How do you lose a big ass man up?

Speaker 5 (40:35):
Did we talk about that last week? Did we just
like and how it was just still sitting on the
desk after missus Joy was rubbing one out while reading it,
and like she.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Was just now and now is because I'm like, I'm like, well,
Klea feel the need to like to take it.

Speaker 6 (40:56):
She saw e J came and gave her her his
his whatever his figures his his projector she literally was like,
that's odd manuscript.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Because because it's look, it's been a very very very
stressful time. The woman just wants to sit down with
a good book. Yeah, nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Don't you put don't you put on, Caleb, what you
like to do with your evils? Okay?

Speaker 6 (41:26):
Anyway, if I remember correctly, rerationalized Kate losing the manuscript
as just like she too much going on John and Philip,
and it was.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Just a you know.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
But I do also think like someone would have put
it in like a lost and found box and not
just taken it to their office to you know.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah, I honestly think what they're doing is they are
traveling this book around to the Salem women so that
it's like a huge marketing thing to reassure them that
they should print it and that it's good, because because

(42:09):
why else would we see Okay, Kate had an interest
in it, and she's like, it's good mm hmmm, and
so it should just be published. I think it's it's
like it's like a test run of like, let's put
it in the hands of all the Salem women to
read enough to make them go oh, and then I
feel like it's going to be like some big, huge

(42:29):
book club that they're all going to be reading it
sitting around eating spiked donuts from Alice.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
I don't want to go to that book club.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
I do just want Yeah, I just want to go
for the donuts and to and to occasionally say okay, girl, okay,
like you know, because there's always there's always someone that's
like that wants to read an excerpt from the book, right,
and they're like he slowly put his hand down my

(43:05):
voluptuous bullsom and I'd be like, Okay, that's right. I
know that's right girl. After a long, hard day, Yes,
as I'm eating the second donut, but yeah, I think

(43:25):
I think it's just just a test. But but anyway,
so yeah, that's pretty much that storyline. Right. We'll see
how this plays out and and what happens and who
they point the finger at or if Philip will just
continue to pretend like he doesn't remember.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Also, there was the discussion of custody, well not custody visitation,
and I'm just like y'all, like y'all literally woke up
that morning in love you probably had done had her
since that morning and last that night before and then

(44:07):
now by the evening, y'all just hate each other so much.
The flames are both coming out of you.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Didn't you hear what Sarah said? She says she hates
that she loves him.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
That thenline, Well, let me tell you something. Had it
been me and looking at Xander Carriakis, I would say,
I love to love you, now get on up here.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to another calcidity that we
just did one what not even two years ago with them?
Oh yeah, another one hopefully changes.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Yeah, I would have been I would have looked at
Zander and said, well, if you wanted to beat something up,
you could.

Speaker 6 (44:53):
Have god, oh my god, a little BDSM in the mansion.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
You know there's a dungeon in that. But you know
there's one of those rooms.

Speaker 7 (45:06):
It's Maggie's.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
It is officially summertime, folks. We're going off the rail.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Oh my god. And then I said that, and then
it took me back to that scene with Xander and Sarah.
Oh that scene, that scene you know them.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
The More Magazine coversion.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Yeah, I remember, and the and the of the belt
and like, yeah, scandalous, scandaloso. All right, let's move on
to our next top storyline, shall we, in which we're
all having second thoughts. I want to start off with

(45:53):
Johnny and Chanel because there was a moment when Chanelle
was sitting at the tape with Abe and Paulina and
they were toasting to life, and I kind of clutched
my pearls because I was like, in this moment, Chanelle
doesn't know what her life looks like, because there's a

(46:14):
life that she had pictured and now with her going
to her appointment to find out, you know, if she
could start having kids again and all that, like all
of like life looks a little bleak for Chanel. And
she sat there kind of like what am I going
to do? Which is why I'm glad she had an

(46:37):
alcoholic beverage so that she could sit on while she
thought about that.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
I don't think it's I wouldn't call it bleak, but
I would call it.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
Uncertain, uncertain and just not and you know, doing her
best to at least control the EJ part of it
with that confrontation she had with him, Like I feel
like that was her like, well, at least I'm going
to try to, you know, told this part of it
because I can't you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
I didn't she.

Speaker 7 (47:06):
Yeah, I didn't fully think I understood what the storyline
was doing, or like, I don't know when she like
I understood the like going to get checked up, And
then when even Sarah was explaining it to her, She's like, oh,
you just have to wait a while, and I'm like, well,
didn't we like establish this that they were going to
wait a while anyway, Johnny's in therapy, like they just
came from this like failed adoption, Like it seemed really

(47:30):
rushed for some reason on her farm.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
I don't know that it's rushed.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
I think that, like I told you this, this was
very much a theme of transitions, and I think that
Chanelle in particular is struggling with all of that where
she can't it's like she can't get a handle. She
knows what she wants for her future. That's the thing
is that she is one certain in the future that
she wants and it seems like at every turn there's

(47:59):
something that is going to get in the way of
that or at least delay it, and so that living
in that uncertainty does not feel good for her, And
like dealing with the it's hard enough to deal with

(48:19):
with uncertainty surrounding you know, pregnancy, the ability to get pregnant,
fertility issues. You know, any woman who's had fertility issues
will tell you that it's like it's such an emotionally
draining process before you even before you even get into
the weeds about how are we going to do this?

(48:39):
Can it be possible to have a baby? Just the
emotional toll that it takes is exhausting in of itself.
So she's now thinking about going through this process of
what she wants it knowing that she doesn't want a
baby in the future, and she feels like, for one
reason or another, she can't share that burden with Johnny,

(49:00):
and Paulina clocked it right away where she said, it's
like all of these feelings that you're feeling, you need
to share this with your husband.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (49:11):
Yeah, like the the you know, not keeping it from Johnny,
like the whole appointment thing.

Speaker 5 (49:18):
I was like, Oh, haven't we learned this lesson already?

Speaker 7 (49:20):
Like I just went through this?

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Yeah that was me.

Speaker 5 (49:25):
I was.

Speaker 6 (49:25):
I was like, Okay, like we we And it's not
even that drastic of a of a secret to Key
She's going to tell him, But where he has so
much going on with his father and John's death, and
it's like, no, he'd be hurt that you didn't include him.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Yeah, but but I think it's I think it's it's
the baby aspect of it, because I think while she
understands where Johnny is and and it doesn't her want
for a family and a kid doesn't go away while
she's watching her partner kind of be like not ready yet,

(50:03):
you know. So it's so I feel like it's it's
she's she's stuck in this place of like you know.
And I think also the gift, the Father's Day gift
was a little triggering too of like what life should
have been like for them, because what they should have
been preparing for is to take Tate and Sophia's baby,

(50:30):
but that's not happening.

Speaker 6 (50:32):
Yes, So people in the chat room seem to have
an issue with the way Chanel confronted EJ.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
I personally did not.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
I felt, I don't know, I felt that was somewhat justified.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
For both huh and Bold and Bold, but.

Speaker 5 (50:52):
I appreciated it.

Speaker 6 (50:53):
I yeah, I absolutely appreciated it and thought that like again,
maybe with every all the other news she got that
day with things, being kind of uncertain about when she
can try to get pregnant, keeping it from Johnny. She
was like then she heard like that was almost like
for me, that was like probably the straw that broke
the camel's back for her, hearing that Johnny and e

(51:16):
J are might reconcile when you know, the whole one
of the big reasons their adoption fell apart was EJ.
And so she's and I could see her just being like, well,
you know what, fuck this, I'm gonna go tell that
man to stay away from my my husband. And I
felt like she was somewhat justified. I do feel like
it's just going to create more tension for Johnny and

(51:38):
Chanelle if he finds out that Chanelle, you know, was
kind of stepping in that. And I know EJ is
probably not above going to eat Johnny and telling him that,
you know, your wife came to see me and whatever.

Speaker 5 (51:52):
But but I that was my very bad EJ. Sorry
Dan Feurigel, because that was at all anyway, and.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
He's never apologized for voices.

Speaker 6 (52:07):
No, No, I haven't. I haven't really had one to
I just realize that I haven't really had a moment
to do the Eric or the Brady voice. But but regardless, No,
I appreciated that Chanelle had a moment where she stood
her ground and I felt like Raven, you know, I
saw that fire in the character. You know, I was like, Okay,

(52:30):
I kind of like the Chanelle.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Yeah, I agree, and I agree that I don't think.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
I think it was one part of a larger conversation
that Chanelle needs to have with Johnny where it's just
one thing after another right now, is just feeling getting
her very frustrated.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Yeah, but I think, you know, I think she when
she walked in to confront Ej, I was like work,
like she was somebody that was like, ain't nobody scared
of y? But like I would expect that from a

(53:16):
black woman, just to be like, ain't nobody scared of you? What?

Speaker 6 (53:21):
What?

Speaker 5 (53:21):
You?

Speaker 1 (53:21):
What you gonna?

Speaker 4 (53:23):
I mean, I think EJ is annoyed in the moment,
but I think he secretly respects Chanel for it. Oh, absolutely, yeah,
because he's never really had he's never really had a
problem with her, at least this this second girl around.
I think he's always appreciated the that that his son
is married to such a strong woman and that she

(53:43):
is there for him completely, and I think that, you know,
in any other circumstances, maybe he might be annoyed more
than annoyed at this point, but I think that he
he understands, and you know, at the very least, I
think he's probably grateful that Johnny has someone as strong

(54:05):
as Chanelle to come home to and to be a
support for him. But now it's now it's on Chanelle
to unburden herself and let Johnny support her.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
See, I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (54:16):
I think is going to be petty about it. I
think the first he's the first thing he's going to
do when he sees Johnny is tell him I can
hear it now.

Speaker 6 (54:27):
I'm not going to repeat the voice, but your wife
came to see me and had a message for me.
I know that's going to be the first thing out
of his mouth the next time he sees Johnny.

Speaker 7 (54:38):
I think it's probably going to be more manate if
with it, Like, if Johnny comes to him, he'll probably
throw into like, oh is it okay with Chanelle because
she paid me? Like I feel like he'll be a
lot more sneaky about it because he also doesn't want
to piss Johnny off. Either.

Speaker 6 (54:50):
Yeah, I don't necessarily agree that he appreciates Chanelle's boldness
the way you do Rsellly. I think he's I think
he's just as miffed by it as he would be
with anyone else.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
Yeah, but I don't think he's like mifed to the
point of like, look, this is EJ. He he is
such a such a petty person that when he gets miffed,
he's he switches people with their doppel gangers. Yeah that's
how Yeah, that's how petty he is.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
I'm just saying e J, e J being the very
individual that he is, I think he can hold space
for both.

Speaker 6 (55:31):
Sorry on an scale from one to ten, where one
is him doing nothing and ten is him doppel gangering somebody,
I give it like a four.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
Yeah, Like he'll he'll he'll be I have no doubt
he'll be petty. But deep, deep, deep down in the
depths of his soll he's like, yeah, I guess she's
all right.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
I now you know that you know those like mad
Lib games. Now in a post, EJ is so petty,
he will and I want people to fill in the
blank because like, EJ is so petty, he will make
your mother disappear.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Oh my gosh, I'm writing that down now, Tony, for
as an idea for.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Our for when you going to the studio.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Oh oh that is all Mad Lives. That is funny.
Yeah yeah, yeah, write that down down. Yeah. Actually, because
I'm very bad at this because during the show I'll
be like, oh, I should post that, and then I'll
write it down, and then when we're done with the show,

(56:47):
I like, you know, I'm like posting the stuff and
doing all this that I forget to do the post
and I and then I find it later and I go, oh, man,
that was funny. So I'm gonna post it now. And
I want everyone who's listening or watching once you're done,
head over to our Instagram and fill in the blank

(57:09):
of EJ is so petty he will blank because we
all know he will petty.

Speaker 6 (57:20):
Replace your folders with Taser's choice.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Yeah, whatever, whatever, whatever the pettiness is. How petty are we?

Speaker 5 (57:32):
I'm not, I say I am, but I'm not.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
I don't know. Michael Maddis.

Speaker 5 (57:36):
I think you are passive.

Speaker 3 (57:38):
Aggressive that yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Like your pettiness will be like a beautiful gallon statement,
but but it holds as much weight as like my pettiness.

Speaker 5 (57:53):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
I don't think Justin's as petty.

Speaker 10 (57:58):
Justin's direct Justin slide mild Like that's like like Justin's
pettiness is disregard.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Ignore.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
Yeah, he will ignure.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
He'll hear your comment, but will completely disregard it and
then be like next, but but he won't do anything.
But the disregard of it all is just as petty.
Mm hmm, because in his head right now, he's like,
why aren't we moving on?

Speaker 4 (58:39):
I feel like a teeter totter between petty and I
just kind of skip over passive aggressive, too aggressive.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
As I've gotten older.

Speaker 5 (58:47):
You're just loud.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
I just skip over.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
I just like I used to be passive aggressive, and
I think as I've gotten older, just skip all the
way over too aggressive.

Speaker 6 (58:56):
You just have mom energy. You just have that thowed
mom energy.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Yes, I very much do. Like I could have been
last week.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
It could have been yeah, last week, I could have
been here and it could have been you know, really
in my fields over John's memorial. Instead, I was threatening
children with wax upside the head because they were running
in the house like I didn't yeah yeah, like I said, yeah,
because they got they got one warning from their parents,

(59:26):
and then I was like, Okay, here's the deal.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
You can listen to mom or.

Speaker 7 (59:33):
M.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
I'm now trying to find an appropriate I'll just go
with this one because I really want to hear everyone
saying how PETTYJ is? Oh is this a better one?

Speaker 4 (59:53):
Uh? Well, because it's interesting then because they can they
can bring up past actions. E J is so petty
that he what blah blah blah blah blah. And there's
plenty to choose from, obviously, yes, but.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Then there's just like there's just like ones that you
can make up.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
Who knows there?

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Okay, Anyway, while I do that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
E J and Bell, oh god, I'm getting I'm I'm
getting almost annoyed as annoyed by them as I am about.

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
Cat and Chad. Oh, as we've been about Cat and Chad.

Speaker 6 (01:00:41):
Yeah, I'll just see where it goes. I'm not like, Okay,
I'll see where this goes. I'm not heavily invested anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
Yeah, I think we just need to allow people to
run their course. Enough with the teeter tottering back and forth.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
Just allow allow.

Speaker 4 (01:00:55):
Them to just get into whatever relationship they're gonna into.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
And you know whether it will work out or or won't.
We'll see. It was nice.

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
It was nice to see Belle at least come to
that decision. That's like, whether we work out or we don't,
I can't. I have to make it about me and
what I feel and not what everybody else thinks. I
support that, Yeah, because that, you know, for better for us.
That's what what John did. He did he didn't interfere

(01:01:28):
in his kids relationships. I've meant that one time. One
time he did that, and he learned his lesson because
it was a disaster when Brady and Kristen first got together. Yeah, yeah,
he Yeah, he interfered one time in his children's relationships,

(01:01:49):
and he he, to his.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Credit, he learned his lesson.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
He never did that again, no matter what, you know,
bad decisions they were making.

Speaker 6 (01:01:57):
He interviewed, feared a little bit with Teresa, Uh go
on the head for it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
Yeah, I mean I would that was I think voicing
your opinion is different from interfering.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
I think I consider that different.

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Yeah, because because yeah, no, if he were here, he
would absolutely voice his opinion. Yeah yeah, And if he
were here, he would do the same. He would absolutely
be very vocal in his opinion about e J and Bell.
But I don't think that he would interfere. I think
he would just do what he always did and just

(01:02:37):
be present and probably say, well, I'll be here when
this all ends.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
Can we have Brady let us know which eyebrow John
would use in this discussion of.

Speaker 4 (01:02:48):
I thought it was I thought it was the left.
He kept doing the left eyebrow, but.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
There were different eyebrows.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Oh the different, Oh the different? Oh h.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
I said we should have Brady doing not our selling.

Speaker 4 (01:03:05):
No, I no, I'm not gonna do that. I was
just I'm trying to think back to which I brow you?
Which I brow expression?

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
I listen, I mean I'm here for it. Why not
like J find he like he's just as broken as
everybody else Bell? Why not? Because listen, last week Carrie
made a very valid point, Sammy chased after Austin forever,
and so it's like it's like, Sammy, you ain't gotten
them to say about somebody chasing after somebody else's man.

(01:03:35):
You and EJ ain't even together, so you'll be okay.

Speaker 5 (01:03:40):
Prince, though Austin didn't. I mean, there's there's the.

Speaker 6 (01:03:46):
Chasing after a man, but the man they're chasing after
now has quite a nefarious past and did nasty things
to the sister.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
I mean, this is true.

Speaker 6 (01:03:57):
I think that's where you know, we have to remember
it's not just about Sammy or it's not just about
chasing after someone's man. It's about the man and his
questionable history and actions.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
I mean, don't, don't don't.

Speaker 5 (01:04:11):
And this is what I'm saying, sisters, don't fight each other.
Fight The man said, don't let some raggedy dick come
between you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
And well, let me tell you something. Obviously, the digging
raggedy torn about it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:28):
It's gold star, yeah, five star.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
With everyone must gold Yeah, the magic penis yeah, apparently
everybody can. Salem got it anyway. Sorry, that's it, magnum

(01:05:03):
j okay, worse, Oh my gosh, oh boy, someone just
rang my doorbell.

Speaker 5 (01:05:20):
That's why did I just hear?

Speaker 8 (01:05:23):
Hey it wasn't me that time.

Speaker 5 (01:05:25):
It was an RSLI in her doctor's office phone from
nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Right, hold on two seconds. Let me go take care
of that, and you all talk about Abe and Paulina
and Raithe and Jada.

Speaker 5 (01:05:39):
Why was Juneteenth on Friday in Salem and not Thursday?

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
Because because it's well because it's the same day. Basically,
that's true, it wasn't the same day.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
It's just odd that historically they've celebrated they've managed to,
especially since it's been on Peacock, they've managed to celebrate
those things on the actual day like in reality. And
I had a thought because I noticed last week Drakes,
excuse me, John's funeral what Sorry, Nope, I noticed with
with John's Funerals episodes, Monday and Tuesday's episodes were shorter

(01:06:15):
than normal. They were third. They were like thirty three minutes,
thirty two minutes versus being thirty seven to forty minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:06:23):
So I'm wondering if they.

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
Maybe made one at one of the funeral episode they
split it up into two because there was so I wonder,
And that's why there was a one day delay with
Juneteenth being mentioned on Friday instead of Thursday. Yeah, it
was still acknowledged it because like I saw Thursdays and
I was like, wait, I thought they were having a
Juneteenth Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:06:48):
On Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
We're just going to suspend time at this point because
realize that they're basically said that the events from last
Monday to this Monday were all one day, and I'm like,
that's a freaking long day. Okay, so I'm suspending like
all my expectations of time right now.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
You don't have to because technically we're supposed to be
a year.

Speaker 5 (01:07:13):
That's true forgotten time jump.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
Someone on Twitter, someone on Twitter was like, Hey, remember
when Kate and Jack had an affair for three days?

Speaker 7 (01:07:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
I thought about that today too. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:07:26):
Wow, yeah they really just they really started that and
dumped it in the same day.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:33):
Anyways, we did get an.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
Update on the policing investigation. I think an update who
done shot ej mhmm and who's going to take the
fall or who's going to take the ball her for
who done shot?

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
Ej oh?

Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
Well, now everyone everyone's starting to think. Everyone's slowly starting
to think it's Johnny.

Speaker 4 (01:07:56):
Yes, yeah, because the bigger part of this is that
what Johnny and I don't think that Chanelle knows that
Johnny went over there. He adamantly told her that he
didn't shoot his dad, but which is not a lie.
We don't think but we didn't. But he didn't tell
her that he went over there with a gun. And

(01:08:20):
to bring everybody up to speed, I think where.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
We are now.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Is that based off the conversation that Johnny and EJ
had this week? Johnny knows that EJ knows that he
was there, because he said, we.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Both know what I did that night.

Speaker 4 (01:08:38):
But I think that EJ believes that Johnny shot him,
and Johnny thinks and Johnny believes he and we're assuming
if Johnny's innocent. Johnny just assumes that EJ is aware
that he went over there with a gun.

Speaker 11 (01:08:54):
Yeah, misunderstanding, yes, yes, yeah, so that little line was
kind of blew past them.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
But that was a miss. That's I think a misunderstanding
that's happening. Chanelle knows nothing about Johnny going over there
at this point, and flip it all over to the
police side. Ray finally finally told Jada that, hey, I
kind of planned a camera in your crime scene.

Speaker 5 (01:09:22):
Mm hmmm mm hmm.

Speaker 7 (01:09:25):
Yeah, it's missing.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
I like Dada and Rafe working together as friends.

Speaker 6 (01:09:33):
I'm glad that they're able to it doesn't seem awkward.
I appreciated their their moments this week.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Same but I don't know. There's just not much movement
in the in the EJ thing. Now.

Speaker 5 (01:09:52):
This is going to be a while. I feel like
this is gonna be a while.

Speaker 6 (01:09:54):
It's gonna be a while before we may have to
go through a period where someone accused, someone goes to trial,
has the we have to go through this whole rigormarole
before we actually find out what happened.

Speaker 5 (01:10:08):
And I just hope that when we do find out what.

Speaker 6 (01:10:10):
Happened, it's the payoff is is good and that it's.

Speaker 5 (01:10:15):
Not a disappointment.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Yeah, I hope.

Speaker 6 (01:10:17):
So they better not create So if it's someone's unknown
twin or unknown quadruplet or someone out of left field,
that none none of the viewers will care two ships about.
I will not be happy. Well now that that matters
do anything.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
But you know, well, I hope that they're listening because
we don't want to make Michael Mattis unhappy.

Speaker 5 (01:10:43):
They're like whatever, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
They gonna look at you and say, beautiful gowns. Exactly,
beautiful gowns. Okay, now that we're done with them. Last
to shut this out is marleno.

Speaker 5 (01:11:06):
Hm, hmm, what's your thought?

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
I still can't get over that that that hug from Hope.
It was very much like why are you touching me?
Why are you here late? What are you wearing? Like?
What like I feel like because I also feel like
something there was some some moments during like John's funeral,

(01:11:36):
that it wasn't about John, it became about the person
talking and so so I don't know, but yeah, I
still can't get out of that.

Speaker 6 (01:11:47):
How did we irrationalize it that she was surprised to
see them. There's this history with Hope and John, not
of their fault, that I'm sure still causes a little
bit of pause with Marlena, and so that coupled with
like her grief and everything, she just kind of froze

(01:12:09):
and didn't know how to react.

Speaker 5 (01:12:11):
She had mixed reactions in her head.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
So and I guess it showed.

Speaker 5 (01:12:15):
But yeah, I realized it wasn't an intentional slight.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
It was just well that's just I mean. We also
questioned Paulina and a when they first came over. She
looked annoyed, like why are you Like, can y'all just
go in the kitchen? But uh, it's interesting to just
see Marlena navigating the loss of John and I think

(01:12:44):
having those moments of realizing like like he's not coming back,
like this is like this isn't this isn't like those
other times like like when we watched Days and we're like, oh, like,
how are they going to bring this person back? Like
it's one of those things where we know that, like
this person is not coming back, but also the other
thing is this and this hit me too, like when

(01:13:10):
you've been watching a show for so long and you're
starting to watch not the characters pass, but they're passing
away in real life, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:13:22):
It's been a really really rough couple of years.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
Well and even even beyond that, because I can't remember.
I think it was it was Joe Muscolo for for
for me that went first. Then it was the woman

(01:13:48):
who played Carolyn bradygy McKay, which I think it was
like the year before we had her at at Day
of Days. Then there was kind of a lull, and

(01:14:09):
then it was Victor John Anderson's. Then Bill Hayes now Drake,
and so it's just kind of like who, like you're
you're watching and it was and watching watching Joe Muscalo

(01:14:31):
kind of slow down and they just had him sitting
all the time like that was no, actually, no, I'm sorry.
I can go back even further. Francis Reid because she
was the first, like you know, it's it's like that
they just have them sitting.

Speaker 5 (01:14:47):
A lot or on the just on the phone calls.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
Yeah. So I don't know, it kind of hit where
it was just like, oh, man, like you, like you
get so attached to this show that like you, you
don't watch the characters pass you, you watch the actors.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
And that's how I mean, that's how we feel every time.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
Yeah and yeah, and that's how we feel every time
we lose a great soap actor and a great character,
especially if they're they're still playing the character as long
as they possibly can. You know, all these people that
we've named, they they stayed on the show as long
as they could, and we were so appreciative of that.
It's just the last couple of years in particular, have

(01:15:31):
just been the way that we have lost like the
three great leaning men in such quick succession. It's just
it's been a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
It's been.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
It's a lot for the day's cast and crew, it's
a lot for their families, for us as an audience,
it's a lot. And so seeing Dedra playing Marlene's grief
this week, it felt like, you know, her throwing those
flowers on the flo or just felt like all of
us saying.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Like how much how much more are we supposed to take?

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
It's hard? Mm hmm okay, well hm uh. Let's move
on to the next storyline, which is labor pains.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
Which turned out to be false labor paints.

Speaker 6 (01:16:25):
False labor pains, but the return of little soap staple
Brixton hacks.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
Hacks Braxtonis that sounds like somebody's name. Hi, I'm Brax and.

Speaker 5 (01:16:39):
They named him after the doctor. That kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Well, we have the return of Aaron. Welcome back Aaron.

Speaker 5 (01:16:50):
And he's not the father or is he he's not?
Do we know that for sure?

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:16:56):
They they were talking as if they nothing happened between them. Yeah, Prince,
if they slept together, because like I always thought we'd
end up together, and they were like, oh, how silly
or whatever, like like there was no birth.

Speaker 6 (01:17:10):
That doesn't mean but why why? Okay, so why did
he think that though?

Speaker 7 (01:17:14):
Because remember he he likes Sophia originally a huge.

Speaker 5 (01:17:19):
That doesn't mean that they didn't.

Speaker 7 (01:17:21):
It doesn't. But I feel like this is this was
the writers telling us he's not the writers saying he's
not the dad.

Speaker 6 (01:17:28):
Having that or is that them trying to make us
believe he's not the father and they're gonna have a
flashback of them doing something and he really is.

Speaker 4 (01:17:36):
We will have to wait and see what fans might
might have to let that fantasy.

Speaker 7 (01:17:41):
I think I think he's not the one.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
No, I still I'm with you, Michael Madis, I'm still like.

Speaker 5 (01:17:49):
Well, there's also it doesn't necessarily have to be Aaron.

Speaker 6 (01:17:52):
Like if, like I think what fans are, the fans
idea is Tate's not the father, and we've even had
that idea before that maybe it's not the father, that
the mom was using this pregnancy as a way to whatever.
I don't know if I necessarily think that anymore either,
But you know, I guess it doesn't have to necessarily

(01:18:13):
be Aaron. It would just make more sense if they were.
If if Tate's not the father and they needed to
make it someone else, it makes sense Aaron would be
the easy, easy one because they had a friendship, they
had a situationship, if you want to call it that,
not really you know.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
In any case, it seems like.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
And I hope that they stick to this, that Sophia,
after her false labor pains this week, is adamant she
does not want to be a teen mother.

Speaker 7 (01:18:49):
Mm hmm, well she she kind of paused there though
when Sarah was questioning her. No, she definitely did. When
Sarah Sarah was questioning her, she was putting everything on
Tate and then Sarah said, well, what do you think?
How would you react? And then she stopped and sort
of didn't say anything. So I think it's the wheels
turning of Sophia maybe getting used to the idea.

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
Of I know, I disagree.

Speaker 4 (01:19:15):
I think she I think it's trying to establish firmly
that you can still love a child, a child that
grows inside you and not want to be a mother.
You can That is absolutely one hundred percent of valid choice.
And her saying that, Look, it's not like I don't

(01:19:38):
feel anything for it. If you know this, you know
this kid is growing inside me. But you know, I
don't want to be a teen mother. I don't want
like her entire the past year of her life has
been completely upended. She's made affirmed that she wants to
go to college, that she doesn't want to use this
baby to trap Tate you. She made that clear to

(01:20:01):
Aaron to Ari that this is not the life that
she wanted for herself, and I feel like people need
to take her at her word for that. Well, I agree,
you know, when the baby comes, we'll see how she
really feels them. But if by that point she says

(01:20:22):
I want this baby adopted, people need to take her
at her word and let her.

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
Go through with that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
I mean, that's what she's been saying. But you know,
we all know things change when it's you know, it's
more realized when the baby is out and you know
you're holding the baby, you can have a whole different feel.

Speaker 6 (01:20:46):
And eighteen is still young and somewhat impressionable, and it
would be very easy for someone to say something to
make her question what like to be like, you know,
say what she's always been saying that she didn't want
to be in. She doesn't want this life for herself
right now, everything rs Sally's saying. But all someone might
have to do, especially in her emotional, you know, pregnant

(01:21:10):
and young and impressionable state, All it would take would
be someone saying something to her to make her somewhat
question it.

Speaker 5 (01:21:18):
That doesn't mean it's going to change her mind completely.

Speaker 6 (01:21:20):
Yeah, just you know, I think maybe that's what we saw,
just like she knew what she wanted, but all it
took was someone to like cast a little bit of doubt.
But maybe, but that doesn't mean she's flipping completely.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
Yeah, I think, I think. I just I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:21:36):
I think I maybe I personally don't want that for
the character. I want them to for I want them
to because they've done that in the past, where you know,
we've teetered on you know, adoption stories in the past,
and that hasn't and then people and then they decide
they want to keep the baby.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
But I just feel like once we need to like,
let let the kid go just once.

Speaker 4 (01:21:59):
It's not it's not a bad thing to want, uh
to want more for these characters. It's not a bad
thing for us to showcase.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
A healthy adoption storyline.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
I agree, because it'll be a different thing rather than
them like raising the baby. But then I can also
see like how I mean, at this point, I don't
even want to see Holly and Take together like.

Speaker 5 (01:22:27):
I'm good, Yeah, I'm over it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
Like yeah, I'm I'm so over that. It's like girl,
move on, Like, you know, if it's not with Doug,
maybe Aaron, like I don't know, like Aaron seems to
have his stuff together. He's smart heat he finished his
stuff so early. He was like, peace out. I'm going
to Canada to hang out with my mama, and I
guess I'll come back for graduation. Which side note, I

(01:22:52):
want them to stop having Brady missed big events because
of Rachel. Yeah, like he was late to John's funeral
and then she threw a fit and had to leave
and luckily like Ari and Tate took Rachel back home.
Then you know it's where they're on the way the graduation,

(01:23:15):
she throws up. They have to take a detour to
the to the hospital to which then like they didn't
even let them graduate, Like yeah, I'm like there was
a moment where I wanted to be like, okay, y'all listen,
like have her walked, have her walked the stage, and

(01:23:35):
then be like, oh, we knew.

Speaker 3 (01:23:37):
We weren't gonna see that graduation.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
I wanted to hear Holly speech. I love that they
made her salutatorian And I was like, and this is
no shade. I was like, I didn't know she was
that smart? Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:23:51):
I'm gonna be a little I'm gonna be a little
petty right now. I'm gonna be a little petty and
say I would have preferred to hear Holly speech over Paulina.

Speaker 7 (01:24:02):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:24:04):
I didn't even know there was such a thing as
a salutatorian, so mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:24:10):
This shows how much attention When he.

Speaker 6 (01:24:13):
Was like I was, I literally was like, did they
make that up?

Speaker 1 (01:24:19):
You don't know?

Speaker 7 (01:24:21):
Though, I under said, if your high school doesn't celebrate it,
then it's not always a thing.

Speaker 5 (01:24:27):
I just remember valedictorian and that's that's.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
I mean most people, most people only remember the vali
victorian and they're like, oh, you're the second smartest kid. Great.

Speaker 5 (01:24:37):
I don't know. I didn't even want to go to
my graduation.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
So hey, that title still helps you get into good colleges.
It's not not nothing to sneeze at.

Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
I will tell you two things about about high school. One,
I remember when I said I wanted to be valedictorian
and someone said, you think you're smarter than Veronica because
Veronica was like the smartest girl in in our in
our class. And I was like, well, they for killing
that dream. And then during the during my high school graduation,
this this stupid boy like was picking on me. I

(01:25:10):
believe he called me the F word during graduation. I'll
never forget it anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:25:20):
Teenagers are evil, evil just pure.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
High school was like there was there was a period
in high school where I was like, I do not
understand why all these guys keep paying attention to me
and how I walk and how I talk and how
I carry my chairs and why you feel the need
to call that out. And then finally like it just
stopped and I ended up being like the cool kid.
But it was always that moment of like, leave me alone.

Speaker 5 (01:25:48):
Take solace in the fact that they are probably at
least twice divorced, living in a studio apartment, that they
all gay now only seeing their hit No, we don't know.
They don't even deserved to be gay, they.

Speaker 6 (01:26:04):
Only see only seeing their kids on weekends and every
other Wednesday, not able to pay the rent for their
studio apartment by the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
Dang, Michael Maddis, you miss That's how I envisioned.

Speaker 5 (01:26:16):
That's how I envisioned the kids that used to call
me the F word.

Speaker 1 (01:26:19):
So Michael Madis is so petty, that's where he will
wish he will wish you unwell in life.

Speaker 4 (01:26:31):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
But it was also good to see Amy Toy just
kind of be not so Amy Joy during all this, she.

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
Did have to start praying.

Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
But other than that, yeah, yeah, who gave the look
when she was like, we need to pray? Who gave
the look of like, oh lord, I can't remember what
I think it was, Brady.

Speaker 4 (01:26:51):
Yeah, Look, my eighteen year old comes home and has
to go through labor.

Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
I'm gonna be praying too, not just because I do it,
but because it's like lell and you strict to get
through these three hours.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
Well you know, okay. And I feel like I've had
this thought ever since I was a kid, Like it's
something about being pregnant that's very telling of like you've
done it, do you know what I mean? Like it's
like it's like you can't hide it, like you like

(01:27:32):
you did it. And I and I remember when I
was a kid, I remember telling my mom because it's
one of one of my mom's friends, she had five kids.
And I told my mom. I was like, she did
it five times because she has five.

Speaker 8 (01:27:45):
Kid Oh yeah, sure, five, that's that was the count number.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
I mean as a kid, Like, I mean, I didn't
know any better, but like but I knew for sure,
she did it five times because he had five keeps.
But but every time, like like every time I look
at it, like like someone's pregnant, like my like, pregnancy
is ultimate Scarlett.

Speaker 6 (01:28:13):
You look at it, you want to go up to
it and be like poor.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
It's I don't know, it's I know it's a weird
way of thinking. But every time I see a brandy person,
I'm like, you did it. You did it, and not
in like a not in like a scolding kind of
a way, but it's just like it's just like, man,
it's like, how far along are you? Oh, I'm six
months six months ago? You did it? Like you know

(01:28:40):
you did it, you already done had hers.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
I'm the weird aunt in the room where.

Speaker 6 (01:28:55):
Say what I can't say that's where my mind immediately.
But when I see someone with hi.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
What does your mind go?

Speaker 5 (01:29:02):
Kids?

Speaker 6 (01:29:07):
Unless unless I'm with Bimbi and they start smiling at
Bimbi and want to pet him, and then I'm like, okay, you're.

Speaker 5 (01:29:13):
All right, because baby likes kids.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
So see someone someone said, Tony, you're not wrong. You
know they did it at least the number of kids
they have exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:29:24):
It's just not my immediate thought, man, I'm like, ooh,
you done, did it?

Speaker 6 (01:29:31):
Or I think you know, when I see it pregnantly,
I'm like, oh that, poor lady.

Speaker 4 (01:29:36):
I mean I think that when I think so I
when I see Sophia, Poor Sophia.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
But that's not my immediate thought to every pregnant woman
in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
Rewatch queens, and she said to her kids, verges on
the left, holes on the right.

Speaker 4 (01:29:53):
If anybody, I mean, I think we have a crowd
of regulars today, but if we have any newcomer to
the show, I apologize. We are, you know, usually seventy
percent better than you know.

Speaker 8 (01:30:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
I feel like today we're just kind of all over
the place.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
First of all, Brad, k, do not remind me I
know how I got here. I like to think though,
that they were blessed and highly favored.

Speaker 5 (01:30:27):
You were immaculately conceived.

Speaker 1 (01:30:29):
Oh no, I'm pretty sure I was conceived in the
way that I should have been, but it was just
a blessing.

Speaker 8 (01:30:33):
Where is Mama More?

Speaker 3 (01:30:35):
I feel like we need Mama more to get us
back on track. What were we talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
She's watching She's watching days. She already texted me and said,
I ain't gonna be on today because I'm catching up.
So she's catching up. It's a probably good things she
didin't see this show?

Speaker 7 (01:30:48):
Oh my, AnyWho got some good Rachel and Sarah scenes.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
Thank you, justin Lee Harold. Yes, the quiet one will
all of a sudden talk and get us back on.
You know another thing I want to say about being pregnant,
I'm just kidding. So uh, yes, Rachel and we forget that.
You know the history with Sarah and Rachel is that
at one point, uh, Sarah raised Rachel because she thought

(01:31:16):
that was her kid.

Speaker 7 (01:31:18):
I do not forget and let's not change that, please.
I feel like they I was like, oh, we're getting
too many like yeah, oh yeah, pokes here this week
about that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:30):
I feel all the moment that sold it for me
that that's where this is going is when Rachel was
like I feel comfortable with you or I live.

Speaker 5 (01:31:39):
I'm like, oh, I'm like here we go.

Speaker 6 (01:31:41):
And then she's going to gravitate towards Sarah and then
Sarah is going to feel the connection, and then it's
going to be a thing.

Speaker 7 (01:31:51):
Keep the connection. Just don't rewrite history. Just yeah, like,
keep the connection, just don't I'm fearing this is where
they're going.

Speaker 6 (01:31:59):
I'm just hoping it is something that they had they
never explored, you know, like Sarah had her mourning after
you know she give, but then it's never been really
talked about before.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:32:12):
I wouldn't mind again, for the entertainment value of it,
for the soapyness, the potential soapiness of it, I guess
I wouldn't. I wouldn't mind them them going that route.
It would be a good way to continue having conflict
with Xander. It would create conflict with Kristen, bring Kristin
back into the full Kristin hasn't been around lately, at

(01:32:32):
least in the past couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:32:36):
There's there's I don't know there's potential for good soap
with it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:39):
Yeah, do you think do you think Rachel will ever
utter the line to Kristen, I wish you weren't my mommy.
I wish Sarah was my mom. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:32:55):
From now it's already filmed.

Speaker 6 (01:32:57):
I think now that like I think now exactly. I
think Rachel, the next time we see her with Kristin,
there's gonna be she's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
Gonna be a teenager.

Speaker 6 (01:33:04):
She's No, she's gonna she's gonna be the same age,
but she's not gonna be as warm to Kristin as
she's not gonna have that like mommy.

Speaker 5 (01:33:13):
Like that cleaniness that she seems to have had.

Speaker 7 (01:33:16):
She goes that, I actually like. I like the idea
if Rachel starts to form a relationship with Sarah or
vice versa, that part. I like it makes sense. I
just don't want them to re rewrite reckon it back
toward what it was.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
I suddenly picture Rachel walking into the room being like, hey, Kristin, m.

Speaker 5 (01:33:39):
It's just walks in Kristin. Chris is gonna be like, bitch, what.

Speaker 1 (01:33:46):
My name is?

Speaker 5 (01:33:47):
Mother?

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
Who who are you talking to you? Kristen? Not not.
Rachel's gonna be doing shots with are in two weeks.
R Sally, what's on your mind? Because now you're post.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
A I I I I don't know this this. I
feel like we've gone so far off the rails and
so many different subjects. I'm struggling to figure out where
we left off.

Speaker 1 (01:34:19):
It's the wine.

Speaker 3 (01:34:21):
I don't have any wine. I just finished my tea.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
I don't believe.

Speaker 7 (01:34:26):
We did get that. Sorry, I.

Speaker 11 (01:34:29):
Yes, yes, okay, no, this, I can talk about.

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
What we said.

Speaker 4 (01:34:39):
What we said on the show before they went off
Canvas was that we collectively on the show did not
believe that Eric and Nicole had what it took to
make it long.

Speaker 12 (01:34:51):
Term again, because it's kind of like it's almost like
a Sarah and Xander, Sarah and Xander.

Speaker 5 (01:35:04):
What am I trying to say?

Speaker 6 (01:35:05):
A Sarah Xander situation where you know, Eric's the whole,
Eric would be the Sarah and Nicole is the less
than perfect and that always seems to be the conflict
with them. That Nicole does something that Eric doesn't like
judges her for it creates tension.

Speaker 5 (01:35:20):
And I found it the most. I found it interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:35:24):
And I know they probably can't show the character of
Nicole for reasons, but like, there we know Eric's and Salem,
we know Eric's been in Salem, that Nicole's in Salem
and we're not seeing her, and that they you know,
she's being mentioned.

Speaker 5 (01:35:38):
At least I found that a little.

Speaker 6 (01:35:39):
I was like, oh, they didn't make an excuse for
Nicole not to be there, Like she didn't pull a
Sydney and break her neck at the airport on a
moving walkway.

Speaker 7 (01:35:46):
Or something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:35:48):
Ps.

Speaker 6 (01:35:50):
Sydney's handwriting beautiful. I was like, oh girl, okay, Sydney. Yeah,
I like how the note was typed except for her anyway,
that was a sidebar. But but yeah, but it was
interesting that they even brought it up, you know, since
we can't see.

Speaker 5 (01:36:10):
Them both together.

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
I'm glad they brought it up.

Speaker 7 (01:36:13):
Yeah, I mean I feel like this is a we
talked about this too. This is this is like a
rewrite for Greg Vaughn, like who got screwed over? Like
let's you know, let's be real, this is about him.
It's I think Eric and Nicole were fine as a
couple of this go around. This is probably the happiest
they've ever been. But this is about like trying to

(01:36:33):
make something right. I think he got caught in the
crossfire of everything that was going on. And we even
we even joked about it in that last scene where
like he was on of going off to Paris with them,
and he was like he remember he like looked back
at the Brady Pub and it was like, oh shit, sorry, Eric,
you gotta go, Like.

Speaker 4 (01:36:50):
Yeah, but why it's like this, Yes, this is the
happiest that Eric and Nicole had been, but they've been
here before too. You know, once upon a time, you know,
they had that beautiful wedding in the Brady Pub. They
were going to raise Holly together, and then his holier
than now self took himself off to a different continent,

(01:37:15):
and you know, there went that marriage.

Speaker 6 (01:37:18):
I didn't get what you were saying justin about this
being like a makeup. Now I see they're creating conflict
between Nicole and Eric, so that Eric stays in Salem
and Nicole goes.

Speaker 7 (01:37:27):
Back exactly, yeah, yeah, that's all I meant.

Speaker 4 (01:37:31):
Yeah, yes, but at the very lead. But to me,
it's like it doesn't come out of nowhere. I know
that there are Eric and Nicole fans that say, why
are you doing They're going to say, why are you
doing this?

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
There doesn't to be together. But I am telling you
we have.

Speaker 4 (01:37:45):
We have the receipts in our past shows on this
show where we have gone through Eric and.

Speaker 3 (01:37:51):
Nicole is a couple.

Speaker 4 (01:37:52):
We have watched them, we've gone through their history and
we as a collective all agreed that yeah, they can
love each other, but they don't work well when in
the long term we have seen them with other pairings
where they have accepted their partners with much more grace,

(01:38:12):
much more, much more realism, and they they those two
they just eventually, no matter how much they love each other,
that that conflict of who they are at their core
does not work.

Speaker 1 (01:38:26):
No, do you all think that? And I know a
lot of people don't want like recasts or whatever, but
I was thinking about this because during Holly's graduation, I
was like, there is no reason why a parent would
miss that. Do you think they would ever recast Nicole?

Speaker 6 (01:38:46):
I think I think right now they probably can't recast
for legal reasons because part of wasn't part of Ari's
lawsuit wrongful termination. And if they be cast and put
someone else in that role, she could be like, well,
they need that, they need that, they want the character.

(01:39:08):
Why don't they bringing me back?

Speaker 7 (01:39:09):
It makes sense legally. Yeah, I think eventually they will.
I'm not one of those people who's above people being recast.
I think everyone is up for recast at certain points
in their career. You know, I'm okay with them bringing
Nicol on if they want to do a score.

Speaker 5 (01:39:23):
Yeah, I'm okay with it too.

Speaker 6 (01:39:24):
I just think right now, the reason they're doing it
the way they're doing is because they can't one person
I never want to see back and Annette Thompson. I'm
usually number one fan of the Anette Thompson fan club.
After this comment, I like Sloan. I okay, I.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
Sloan the character. Do you do you like Sloan the character? No?

Speaker 7 (01:39:52):
As opposed to no?

Speaker 6 (01:39:57):
Anyway, let me let me finish this. I was going
through our putting through the graphics.

Speaker 3 (01:40:05):
Oh yeah, and I didn't.

Speaker 6 (01:40:07):
I didn't realize what a visceral reaction I would have
revisiting something. And I literally came across a picture of
her and was just like, oh God, thank God.

Speaker 5 (01:40:19):
Like I was like, thank God, she's gone. Like I
did not realize in the moment, just how I tried.
I tried, but no, and please don't days talking about recast.

Speaker 6 (01:40:37):
Maybe a recast would change my mind's wife.

Speaker 7 (01:40:41):
Remember she stood in for slowly.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
I wouldn't mind that.

Speaker 4 (01:40:48):
Yeah, I mean I could take I could take her
leave the character of Sloan.

Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:40:54):
I didn't hate her. I didn't love her. I thought
that she hurt the character and a lot of definitely
went in a lot of different directions that we didn't
expect when the character was first introduced. But I will say,
I will say that there is in terms of it,
is there storyline to be still mined with that character? Yes,

(01:41:19):
because that character left the canvas in a hurry, there
was there's still a lot of things that could be
brought up with that character if they so chose to
return the character.

Speaker 3 (01:41:29):
So yes, I could see that.

Speaker 1 (01:41:32):
But remember they expanded her because she was only on
as a fleeing of Alex's that's it. And then they
and then they they really like expanded that character. And
I mean I feel like, you know, she the character

(01:41:52):
did a lot. For sure, that character.

Speaker 3 (01:41:55):
Actually did quite a bit in a short amount of time.

Speaker 5 (01:41:58):
They already got the blonde wig there.

Speaker 1 (01:42:01):
God, no, they should burn that, that blonde wig.

Speaker 4 (01:42:05):
I don't know how we got on this topic, but
I think yeah. But so okay, So let's let's take
a vote. Would would we be okay.

Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
With, like if they brought Natasha on for a loan
recast as.

Speaker 1 (01:42:15):
Long as the storyline was good, as long as there.

Speaker 6 (01:42:18):
Was a purpose to it and some intent behind it
and not just to do it, not just for this.

Speaker 1 (01:42:23):
Okay, I'm even I'm even okay with some type of
closure because I don't I personally never liked the way
the character left. She went out the back door of
the Demyras and was never heard from again. It's like,
it's like, I'm I've never been okay with with Judy
Winslow going upstairs and then never return it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:42):
Oh gosh, Oh that's a that's a whole other who.

Speaker 1 (01:42:46):
It's like, y'all can y'all created three kids and then
you just decided, oh, the third kid? Then were m
y'all to do that? With the Cospas Autumn turn was
all was always there, well except for but she was older,
So that makes sense. Sondra. You can take whatever is

(01:43:06):
in that bank account and go discover America.

Speaker 6 (01:43:10):
You'll find out what mister Accles is doing in news
and gossip. Oh no, we won't give and you can
him coming back as Eric is Yeah, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Never gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (01:43:24):
The fact that the fact that bought him, the fact
that we got him, even a scene of him during
last year's flashbacks was insane, and we talked about you
can read with our old episodes to remember how insane
we thought that was.

Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
Yeah, but then we were just like, we buy it.
Like he was young, he just grew up to look
like the Eric now, m all right, well, okay that
those are our top story lines, right, all right, let's
move this train right along, because.

Speaker 5 (01:43:59):
Honey, I think it is. Yeah, we are just weird
five PM here.

(01:44:49):
going to take a moment back sailing away with the
young version of Tom and Alice and Bowen Hope. I
still kind of feel like they could do a whole
series on a young Tom and Alice. I would be
I wouldn't I wouldn't mind seeing that the flashbacks that

(01:45:10):
they did this week of them and how they were
with the family and all that kind of stuff, Like
I would be interested to see how those times were before.
You know, Julie stole the me cute.

Speaker 7 (01:45:27):
It's cute.

Speaker 1 (01:45:28):
Yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 7 (01:45:31):
Doesn't do anything for you.

Speaker 1 (01:45:32):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:45:34):
That was like I could have not watched what episode

Speaker 7 (01:45:43):
And yeah, I mean maybe it's good in small doses,
but if we got a whole series of it, it'd
be too too.

Speaker 5 (01:45:50):
Small, a little too perfect.

Speaker 6 (01:45:53):
And by the time the end of that episode came
and bohen Hope walked out of Hortontown Square, my attitude
was bye.

Speaker 7 (01:46:03):
Okay, Me and Michael gave our R week. If you
watched last week, you know how we feel about Bow
and Hope sailing away? What do you guys think, Because
we were very, very vocal about what we thought about.

Speaker 1 (01:46:16):
We were not.

Speaker 7 (01:46:19):
Seventy year old Bo sailing away.

Speaker 5 (01:46:22):
Nope.

Speaker 4 (01:46:26):
If we're talking look, if we're talking strictly about the characters,
I'm okay with it, and I'll tell you why, because
what I I I don't like when like certain family
members stick around in town when all of their other

(01:46:49):
family is not there. I think I would feel differently
if like Sierra and her kids were still in town,
if Chelsea and Max and their baby moved back. I
think if the Brady I think if the whole entire
Brady family was still in town the way that they

(01:47:11):
used to be, I would feel differently about I've like
because that's what that's what it was at the time
when when Bo was gone and I was and I
was just I was pissed to holy hell because I
was just like, his whole family's here, his children are
growing up with that and what's going on here.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
But the kids are grown, They've got grandkids. They're all
scattered around. They're not nobody's in Salem. Sean Sean is
Sean is, but you know he's divorced his you know,
Claire is. Claire is abroad. And so I feel like
character just sticking for.

Speaker 4 (01:47:48):
The characters where they are right now. Yes, let them
go off have an adventure. Their family is elsewhere. Let
them go be with their kids where they are elsewhere,
their kids and their grandkids. They want to be full
time grandparents, great.

Speaker 5 (01:48:05):
But take a plane, take a nice your your.

Speaker 3 (01:48:09):
Your issues with the boat.

Speaker 6 (01:48:13):
A little issues was with the fact that yeah, there,
I'm sorry not sound ageist. When I'm that age, the
last thing I want to do is go on to
I want to take a nice jetliner first class.

Speaker 5 (01:48:26):
They can afford it, don't like it's just Michael Maddison.

Speaker 3 (01:48:31):
That's what you want.

Speaker 8 (01:48:32):
Now, what do you mean when.

Speaker 5 (01:48:35):
Age I can't afford it?

Speaker 1 (01:48:40):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 6 (01:48:41):
Also also, yeah, he just still is fresh out of
his coma.

Speaker 5 (01:48:45):
Like, I appreciate that they did this for the fact
that they gave Bow and Hope.

Speaker 6 (01:48:51):
They took advantage of the fact that they had Christian
and Peter back for a moment and they were able
to kind of celebrate Bow and Hope as a couple
because they are one of the legendary not just Days
of our lives couples, but daytime overall. Like you say
Bow and Hope and it's like, oh yeah, daytime soap
opera is their their legendary. Their wedding was is legendary.

(01:49:13):
So I appreciate the fact that they did this to
have them back and to give them a happily ever
after that they didn't get during their return before. But
but I've always said, like I never gravitated to Bow
and Hope as a couple, Like they were never my favorite.

Speaker 5 (01:49:31):
I never shipped them.

Speaker 6 (01:49:32):
I appreciated Hope away from Bow more than I did
them as a couple. So that's just my opinion, and
maybe that's why Wednesday's episode was just like I was like,
all right, good.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
For them, I think for me, but that was it.
This could have been how things were for them the
last time, and when they got brought back this time,
it would have been great to just see like what
life has been like like for them since, instead of
keeping Bow in a coma for as long and Hope

(01:50:06):
by his bedside, Like I kind of I kind of
wish the last time we saw them it was like
he didn't get shot. He just kind of came out
of the mind control of Miranda and Hope just decided,

(01:50:27):
you know what, we're not going to return to Salem
because there's too many bad memories and things. We need
to like go somewhere and just heal and just be
and reconnect. And then during this they just brought them back,
you know, to be a part of John's funeral and

(01:50:47):
stuff like that. But also take this moment of reflection
of them as a couple in the memories that they had,
and then just be like, you know what, all of
that brought us to where we are today, and I'm
so happy to be with you and to and almost
kind of officially close the Salem chapter and then go

(01:51:11):
on because I because there were times where I felt like, like,
what's I felt like the focus really needed to be
on John and the effects of that, and and I
felt like we were they were They also had to

(01:51:32):
figure out how to not not only honor John, but
honor Boe and Hope and Stephen Nichols, you know, his
favor So it's it was a lot to have to
like weave through but to make sure that everyone got
their their their flowers, you know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:51:55):
So I don't know, we have Wednesday from me. I
wish it was done differently. I honestly for the past
couple of weeks, I'm now officially like clipped out like
all these old clips, I'm kind of over them. I
would have preferred if bo and Hope were reconnecting with

(01:52:16):
other people and say one that last day and they
still you know, again, we know Christian and Peter aren't around.
They're around for a very short period of time. They're
eventually going to leave. I get that. I wish it
was done differently. I wish we saw bow in Hope
spend some time with Jack and Jennifer have a little
reunion with Abe and Paulina to like I wish like
that was the ending, so that they could go around

(01:52:38):
sort of do like a like a round robin basically
of all their friends and family and just have a
little moment with them and then them off. But to
have them sequestered and just sort of reliving their like,
I get it, but it was I don't know, it
seemed odd to me that that's how they sort of
wanted to send them off.

Speaker 1 (01:53:00):
Like again, this this should have been to send off
the last time. Yeah, and then this should have just
been coming back and just kind of like like people
do when something bad happens, people come back. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:53:16):
Also forel like it's been twelve years now, I feel
like we've been saying goodbye to this character in different ways.
He died twelve years ago, he came back, they referenced him,
then hopes back and forth. Then he's back two years
ago than he's in a coma. Then yeah, it's like
I you know, do like it would have been better
to do something differently, let them leave on a higher

(01:53:37):
note with people. Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, I mean I
enjoy seeing them so that, you know, it's always nice
to see them, and like we were saying, I mean,
christalh Fonso looks amazing and I'm Peter looked great too,
but just yeah, I was expecting something a little bit
more joyous would have been better.

Speaker 6 (01:53:55):
I think, Yeah, what it probably came down is that
it was easier to film them just as we were
them alone, and that's what that's why we got what
we got. But I would have appreciated, like you would say,
like some more involvement with other characters to see them,
you know, to kind of have that like final, final,
final moment. But you know, but like I said, it
was nice to that they were able to kind of

(01:54:17):
get there happily their happy ending.

Speaker 5 (01:54:19):
Finally, I appreciated that part of it.

Speaker 4 (01:54:22):
It does that bank The question though, is is there
such a thing as nostalgia overload?

Speaker 3 (01:54:28):
Because I'm wondering if that's just what.

Speaker 4 (01:54:30):
We're all feeling where just so much had to be
packed in at once.

Speaker 5 (01:54:37):
I mean, I think they did as good a job
as they could.

Speaker 3 (01:54:39):
Oh no, no, it was masterful everything.

Speaker 4 (01:54:41):
No, I'm not like like all the flashbacks, all of
the Tom and Alice stuff, the way everything has been
incorporated this month, between John's funeral, between Steven nichols fortieth anniversary,
bringing back Together Bowen Hope, next week's wedding, everything has
been mastered.

Speaker 3 (01:55:00):
Don't get me wrong. I this is Emmy plus work.

Speaker 4 (01:55:03):
And I say that saying this, all this stuff better
be submitted to the Emmys. That being said, I think
all of us might just be a little bit of
a nostalgia overload. You said what, I think we're all
just on a bit of a nostalgia overload, right.

Speaker 1 (01:55:23):
Oh yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (01:55:25):
It's just been. It's like, you know, there's going down
memory lane and then there's I need a drink.

Speaker 1 (01:55:35):
Yeah, well, speaking of let's sip on this. We're moving
on to Happy fortieth to Stephen Nichols.

Speaker 6 (01:55:46):
I like seeing the you know, we're talking about nostalgia overload,
the flashbacks from his episode. I enjoyed seeing those like
and seeing how like the evolution of of Patch because
I would wasn't around. I was around, but I was
I wasn't watching. I was young when he first came on,
and I only know Patch from when he and Kayla

(01:56:09):
came back in like two thousand and seven, two.

Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Thousand and six.

Speaker 4 (01:56:12):
That was that was when I first That was my
first summer watching Days and so there you know, I'm
glad that they included that scene, you know, in the
graveyard where she first sees him and she fades, because
that was that was my introduction to them as a couple.

Speaker 6 (01:56:28):
And Steven Nichols, I, like I've said about Christian al Fondo,
I need to know what water you're drinking. Yeah, looks
like Seeing those flashbacks and seeing him now, I'm like, oh,
he looks great.

Speaker 5 (01:56:42):
And Mary Beth Evans, the.

Speaker 7 (01:56:44):
Stuff with Adrian was nice, but the dream in the flashbacks.

Speaker 5 (01:56:49):
That was a nice touch scene Judy is is Adrian.

Speaker 4 (01:56:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was That was a masterfully written
episode because I think it had it had the it
had the right amount of flashbacks, It had flashbacks that
it wasn't it wasn't just him and Kayla. It touched
on Stephanie, those scenes with Jada's dad, with Yea, with Marcus,

(01:57:14):
where I was like, I didn't expect those. Those were
nice to see, you know, stuff with Jack. Everything was
like sprinkled throughout to show the breath of you know,
forty years in Salem.

Speaker 6 (01:57:27):
Yeah, and I thought that they included proper thing, you know,
even Alex. You know, they include the fun was it
was it the beginning of Mondays where they came in
and they I was like, were you.

Speaker 5 (01:57:38):
All banging in the lobby?

Speaker 6 (01:57:40):
Oh god, yeah, I was like, were you guys just
fucking the entire like multitasking on the way to the bistro.

Speaker 1 (01:57:49):
Completely dishoveled like the whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:57:52):
No.

Speaker 6 (01:57:53):
I thought it was appropriate that it was Alex. Stephanie
Jada was there for a moment. Yeah, in market, she
was there to have a present there. So yeah, I appreciated.
I appreciated everything about it. It was masterful, as you

(01:58:13):
said Rsel.

Speaker 1 (01:58:14):
Yeah, I agree. Like I enjoyed the flashbacks, especially like
to see like the times where I wasn't watching days
and you do get to know some tidbits and things
like I didn't know that patch I gave Jack a kidney.
I was like, oh, like you're a giver. I always

(01:58:37):
knew about the eye. But it was interesting to see
like that time. And then I had this random thought
of like, at the time, did they think like, oh man,
it'll be cool for him to wear a patch, But
did you not realize that he was going to have
to wear this patch like for the next forty years?

Speaker 3 (01:58:54):
You know, so they give him a break during the
Stephen era.

Speaker 1 (01:58:58):
Sure, but but no, it was include that and and
any Yeah, they just over that. But I but I
feel like it was great in the in the whole
setup of like having the dinner at the Beastro with
with the core people who needed to be there and

(01:59:19):
Alex I thought was was good. I mean it was
a it was a great nostalgic episode. So yeah, last
but not least starting over with uh Ari and Will
and Gabby and everybody.

Speaker 7 (01:59:39):
Yeah, Q scene with Will like Ari and the two
parents and to see them together as a family was cute.
And I feel like they're they're trying to get to
an understanding with her a little bit. It was I mean,
it was cute. We'll see if there's more of.

Speaker 4 (01:59:54):
It, but yeah, yeah, I mean it's clear that she's
gonna stay well, it's not gonna stick around, but it's
nice to it's nice to remember me and and these
are these would be you know, Cherry's first scenes with Chandler. Yeah,
you know, so that that's that's nice. And to see
that they already have they already have like they feel

(02:00:14):
like that connection of these are their best friends, their
parents together, it's really nice.

Speaker 1 (02:00:20):
Yeah. I like the you know, the the just the
moment where you know, Will and Sonny Will and so
Will and Leo had their moment. Yeah, this kind of
you know, Barry the hatchet a little bit. And then
the introduction of of I was battling between al and

(02:00:45):
I was like, which one is it? Of Hobby and
and I don't know, but you know, I just feel like,
you know, these are it'll be nice if like these
things didn't happen just because like a character comes back.
But there's just something just written in the moment of like,
you know, we already buried that hatchet and so we

(02:01:06):
don't have to do this now while you're back, because
it's just something.

Speaker 7 (02:01:11):
But the attention to John, like I know they they
briefly sort of touched on it a couple of weeks
ago with with Leo, but I like that he had
that conversation with Bail about that was a big part
of his life for a minute, like thinking John was
his dad and saying like, oh, you know, maybe your
life would have turned out differently or your life you know,

(02:01:33):
maybe who knows what it would have been like if
John was your father and you know you didn't grow up.

Speaker 6 (02:01:37):
With an abusive father too, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:01:43):
Yeah, Yeah, they're going down this road with Doug.

Speaker 3 (02:01:53):
We know where this is going.

Speaker 1 (02:01:55):
But I'm also like, I thought we were done because
like he paid them off already. Why why does he
still oh interest interest?

Speaker 7 (02:02:07):
But did anyoney chuckle or like laugh when he the
interest is a thousand dollars? Threatening to kill two women
for a thousand dollars? Yeah? Wait what.

Speaker 5 (02:02:20):
Over that part?

Speaker 7 (02:02:21):
Yeah, he's like he's like he's like, I need probably
like a thousand dollars, Like you.

Speaker 6 (02:02:27):
Break a person's leg for a thousand killed two people?

Speaker 7 (02:02:31):
Yeah, threatening to kill these two.

Speaker 1 (02:02:34):
Women he said, to see anything happened to these pretty ladies.

Speaker 6 (02:02:38):
Yeah, it's like what pretty ladies dollars?

Speaker 1 (02:02:46):
I'm just I'm kind of like, can we move on
from the storyline?

Speaker 6 (02:02:51):
That's like, that's like what doctor Evil would threaten? Yeah,
one thousand dollars?

Speaker 7 (02:03:02):
I get.

Speaker 1 (02:03:05):
You.

Speaker 6 (02:03:05):
Know, what are they doing with the Doug character. They
seem to be dropping the ball on him. I'm wondering. Yeah,
that was that was their question, what do we how
do we keep this character in.

Speaker 5 (02:03:17):
The mix of things?

Speaker 6 (02:03:19):
And it's it's one of those cases you kind of
you might those cases you can kind of tell sometimes
when the characters around the directions been kind of all
over the place, and it's like, do they even know
what they want from the character?

Speaker 5 (02:03:31):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (02:03:33):
Yeah, what we that's what we have. That's the case
we have with this.

Speaker 4 (02:03:37):
Yeah, right, And we seemed yeah, well we were with yeah,
well we're getting more detail about the Doug character. It
still seems to be kind of like floundering a little bit.
And then with the Cat character, we seem to be
pivoting into a whole different a whole different area now,
which is spy Cat Evidently.

Speaker 1 (02:04:00):
Oh yeah, because she when she went by, Yes, well
they had to do something with her because you know, the.

Speaker 7 (02:04:09):
Chat stuff has been working girl.

Speaker 6 (02:04:11):
Yes, there was there was a there was a log
line I think for this week that says like Chat
and Cat spend the evening together.

Speaker 5 (02:04:20):
And I literally was like, do they funk? Already or not.
It's just painful now watching them.

Speaker 7 (02:04:30):
Oh, I want to come over and cook.

Speaker 5 (02:04:32):
I won't make hot dogs this time, no mustard. I'm
just like this.

Speaker 6 (02:04:35):
I I can't like it's.

Speaker 1 (02:04:39):
Been that happened so long ago.

Speaker 5 (02:04:40):
Six months, six months they've been there.

Speaker 7 (02:04:43):
We're coming up on a year when they first.

Speaker 5 (02:04:47):
I think it's right we are.

Speaker 7 (02:04:49):
Yeah, and again we didn't see her for six weeks
or eight, but but it's almost it'll be almost a
year by the time to even do anything.

Speaker 6 (02:04:57):
That has been on a cat Cat has been on
for about a year in some respect, and her and
Chad just.

Speaker 7 (02:05:05):
You're no real closer than they were it was when
she was ze Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:05:12):
And Billy Flynn I was already gone.

Speaker 4 (02:05:13):
He made his debut this week as a recast Kane
Ashby and like, don't even talk to me.

Speaker 6 (02:05:21):
Well we can't, just a fifty year old, don't even anyway,
He's still Chad on Days of our lives.

Speaker 5 (02:05:31):
So yes, talk about Chad on days of our lives.

Speaker 1 (02:05:35):
Well, that has been your week of days.

Speaker 4 (02:05:40):
Two hours later, if you are still watching us live

fool so.

now let's travel back in time, shall we two? All right?

Speaker 7 (02:08:16):
Everyone taking back to June eighteenth, nineteen ninety eight, when
Patrika Darbo was introduced as Nancy Wesley Craig's of course beloved,
spirited wife who a lot of times was the mastermind
behind his career in schemes. And if you remember I did,
those are the days Extended where I take a deep
dive into their relationship from this moment on up until

(02:08:37):
what we got a couple of years ago. So go
check that out if you remember. But yeah, that's when
Nancy debuted, because remember Craig Craig was on the show
already for a little while, and then she came along. Yeah,
