(00:00):
In tenth grade. I was caughtbetween Bo and this guy Darius that he
used to freestyle wrap with what didyou do? I told Bo how I
felt, and then he took apoo in the vaccie to Darius his mom's
station wagon. Shyanna has such highhopes and I have truly no idea what
to take from that story. Welcometo Cloud nine, a Superstore podcast.
(00:29):

us, Mike us, subscribe allthat tweet ass Depositions Zisian deposition, starting
with the Carol, what's the deposition? Jason, Well, I didn't know
what this was like A you don'tknow? I was going to ask that
question, are you looking it up? Act of deposing someone? The deposition
(01:14):
is the process of giving sworn evidenceright under oath. That's what the big
deal was, right. Yeah,so they're like collecting evidence before actually being
in court or however they settle itright because Carol got electrocuted by the Cloud
nine robot, yes, and Glennwas freaking out. So Jonah decided he
needed to help him. Lawyers makeme anxious. It's nothing to worry about,
(01:37):
you know. Maybe it would helpif we practiced a little bit.
Yeah, because Glenn has notoriously beenvery bad at these kind of public performances.
Yeah, he's not good under pressurein general. Nope, And so
Jonah was giving him a little bitof a test run and he admits to
scratching Jonah's car in the parking lot. Did you find out that accidentally hit
(01:57):
your car in a parking lot?Because it was just a you think you're
so perfect, you know, wellI used to have a body like that
once. Check out your future yourface like, oh my god, he
really blew up there, Yeah hereally did. I was really shook.
And then before that, though,they were having weird like Dina and Glenn
(02:23):
were bringing it up in the morningannouncements or whatever, and they were trying
to figure out what that meant forCarol because she's suing the company. And
they were talking about this guy whogot his butt sliced off. Oh I
heard about a guy who got hisbutt sliced off when a shelf fell whoop
ten million. And then they weretalking about what kind of rich person she
would be. The whole time shewas just sitting there. Yeah. No,
(02:51):
she's the kind of person whould blowit all on exotic animals. Then
I broke in the bathroom of ared Robin. Carol, you can probably
just go start your shift now.No, I'm good. Is this what
today is going to be? Like? Everyone talking about me? God,
I'm gonna hate this, Like Ithink this is like her dream basically.
Oh yeah, she had a lotof fun this episode. Yeah. What
kind of rich person do you thinkCarol would be? I don't know what
(03:15):
was she going to name her boat? What ride? I reel like she's
gonna be like an inappropriate rich womanwho hires help just to abuse them a
little bit. Oh yeah, ofcourse. Yeah. So yeah, that
was that was pretty funny. Ireally enjoyed that. So Jonah is trying
to help Glenn prepare him for thismeeting, but then when Jonah gets in
(03:38):
there. He like, really,he falls for all the tricks he was
warning Glenn about. Yeah, what'swhat it is? He steps in it
or he puts his foot in hismouth. So it's your understanding that he
generally avoided the robots. Oh,absolutely, so that would include performing the
required maintenance and software updates. Thenhe kind of inadvertly begins painting Glenn as
(04:00):
a very incompetent person. Shouldn't therehave been like a technician or something involved.
I mean, I feel like it'sunfair to expect somebody like Glenn's somebody
like Glenn. Is there a competenceissue? Right? He's very technophobic or
whatever he said, technophobe and hedidn't realize that Glenn's job description was to
(04:23):
do maintenance on the machine, andhe just really stepped in it. And
it looks like and Cloud Nine's lawyerswere like, well, we don't care
if Glenn gets sued. This lawsuitis against the Cloud nine corporation. But
it sounds like you're saying that misterSturgis, as an individual, is responsible
for the injury. It's not yourturn to ask questions, thank you,
(04:44):
but I like that question, Like, yeah, pivot to him like blame
his ass and then we're not responsibleat all. But was that how it
really happened, Like, yeah,a corporation would be like, yeah,
it was not our fault. Itwas definitely that guy was drunk. That
guy is like irresponsible, it's him, not us. There might be a
little bit of liability that the storeis involved in, but not like if
(05:08):
it was his fault, it washis fault, even though there are people
that are above him and should beoverseeing him and making sure that he's doing
his job. Yeah, but atthe end of the day, like they
don't care, like because they can'tmake everybody do their job exactly right,
they're gonna let whoever's gonna be fallingfor it go, Like yeah, I've
seen them do worse, like wherepeople who get Workmen's comp will get fired
(05:30):
for getting hurt. So I don'tput that below. But for me,
I'm just confused why Carol's lawyer wouldpursue that line of questioning when the big
payday would be to go after Cloudnine and not Glenn, Like hello,
like Glenn barely like has a car, you know, like he has this
(05:51):
is the only his income is fromCloud nine, Like he can't afford to
get Sudi as a two year old, and his health is like so bad.
How much money do you think you'regonna get out of him? Really,
like I would be like, Okay, that's enough. I don't need
a grill anybody. I don't reallycare to even pivot towards Glenn, cause
I mean, you're right, likeit's Cloud nine who hired an incompetent person,
(06:13):
or there should have been process andprocedure to prevent something like that from
happening. But then as the episodegoes on, everybody's like trying to up
Glenn because Jonah tells everyone he screwedthe pooch so to speak. Glenn can
handle phone calls, yeah, keepthings in binders, Oh, he wears
(06:35):
clothes. Honestly, when you addit up, you can do like probably
hundreds of things. I really likedwhere this went. But in the end,
like Glenn actually did learn how todo all this and was competent and
did everything he was supposed to.I did it, sorry, well not
at first, but I watched hoursof online videos and eventually I figured it
(06:58):
out. We don't get to seethat Glenn a lot, but like it
has to be there, like ifhe's been the manager this long, he
has to be capable of, youknow, doing all the roles that aren't
that interesting to look at, likewhere orders supplies and what all that stuff.
You know, like he has tobe somewhat good at his job,
even if we were always looking athow ridiculous he is. Yes, person,
Yes, I think we saw thisalso in the episode where Amy ordered
(07:21):
too many ice creams or something likethat. Yeah, and she didn't realize
how Glenn worked the system and heknew like the drivers, and he kind
of had this repertoire with everybody whoworks with him that helps him run and
manage the store in a way that'sefficient. You've been doing this for a
(07:41):
long time, and I should haverespected that. And this is another example
of him like working undercover, likenot really showing everybody, ooh, look
at me, I'm like doing mymaintenance or because it's none of your business.
This is my job. I'm thefloor supervisor doing my own thing.
You go do your thing on stockinglittle shelves over their jonah, you know,
(08:05):
like stay out of my business.You don't need to know anything.
And thankfully he tracked that like inhis little duck calendar, and that was
that was kind of a saving graceand testament to his organizational level, which
is pretty important I think to show. And I really liked how he did
all the things to keep it maintainedand he still got shocked by that stupid
(08:28):
robot. Yeah, so is atakeaway from that that there's just an issue
with the robot that's defective? Yeah? And Cloud nine is that what is
that company that they're owned by,holes Zerocks or what is it? Yeah?
So it's a Zephyra machine. Soyeah, they owe that woman compensation
(08:50):
for sure, and I would loveto see them kind of figure that out
somehow. Do you want to talkabout Mattel or do you want to talk
about Garrett Dina? Let's go toMateo because that ties in a bit with
Eugene and the deposition. Yeah,so I wish we knew more about what
was going on in Mateo's world withhis legal status. Yeah. I think
(09:13):
we've mentioned that a lot specifically me. Well, they've been just kind of
like not even mentioning it at all. But when they brought it into the
episode, I'm like, Oh,we're finally going to learn more, and
I'm hoping we get some sense ofclosure closure by the end of the season.
Oh, we'll have to this isthe last season. Yeah. But
so he's getting his ankle monitor offand they've called Eugene in for the deposition.
(09:39):
And if we don't remember, becauseit's been a long time since they
even talked about this guy, he'sthe one who took over Mateo's eyeball job
with that weird eyeball guy who wasusing him so weirdly. Yes, And
so he comes in to talk toMateo about like how he's going to be
very transparent through the episode, abouthow they switched rolls, and Matteo's freaking
(10:03):
the fuck out because he's like,I got plans for my hot ankles,
don't worry. I'm just going togo in there and explain our situation.
How on paper, you know youstill work in the vision center and I'm
Glenn's assistant. You you can't arrangementisn't exactly above board. And so he
freaks out and he locks him inhis office or his broom closet. Really
(10:24):
yeah, and when he blocked whenhe uses like a little doorstopper and add
the magic of acting to make himbelieve that he's really stuck in there,
and Sandra gets roped in and thatwas a fun little interaction. I thought,
Yeah, it's kind of funny theway Eugene introduced himself. It was
kind of like he's trying to remindthe audience of like, hey, this
(10:46):
is who I am. You can'ttell him wearing a mask. Yeah,
you haven't seen me in a longtime. Yeah, that was really cool.
And Matao, it's Eugene, thisis what I look like in a
mask. Yeah. And then Mateogoes into the deposition answering questions in the
third person, basically so that hedoesn't have to implicate himself his line because
he's technically not Eugene, but he'sanswering for Eugene. Eugena Mellley is glencissistant.
(11:11):
Yes, oh you can just sayI you gena Melee just thinks a
little differently. And I hope thatdoesn't come back to bite him in the
ass. I hope that's enough.Yeah. I mean they were talking in
the beginning of the episode, likewalk that line of what they call it
perjury. Yeah, yeah, hedidn't want You don't want to perjure yourself
for sure, well, yeah,that seems pretty reckless. I can see
(11:31):
why though, like, especially ifhe's been but and the thing is,
just because your ankle monitor is offdoes not mean that you're in the clear.
The courts know where you work,they know where you live, they
know where you've been going. Solike, it's hard, especially in the
United States for people who don't havearen't legalized in the system. It's it's
(11:54):
like sometimes you wait like five toten years to get your documentation in order,
and sometimes they'll send you back toyour home country in order for it
to go through properly or whatever.I've seen people that are like days away
from getting it and then their appointmentgets rescheduled for like another two years.
So it's really shitty. It's ashitty system. And I just hope that
(12:18):
they're I want him to have ahappy ending quickly. Otherwise he should just
get married. Just marry, justget get married. You'll have an episode
with America Ferrera and it'll be good. I mean that could be where they're
going, because they did show what'sher brother's name, I don't know.
They did show his boyfriend Eric,yeah, Eric, and kind of show
(12:39):
that they're like moving in together intoa house, so like could be setting
that up. But yeah, they'rebasically just not going to spend the resources
to be tracking him with the anklemonitor. Yeah, which, by the
way, the person who is wearingthe ankle monitor is actually paying for it.
You get to rent it. Yeah, that's the court systems. Yeah,
anything else on those MATEO, SandraEugene. I like that Sandra was
(13:03):
with him one. Yeah, someone'sgetting their ankle monitor off today. Oh
my god, it's huge, Iknow, right, that was so good
to see them and how she evenlike was like, you're not a boot
person because in the tale is likethat was the first person that I saw
him share that with, right,And she suggested Caprice And he's like,
(13:24):
I'd rather die, and I getyourself some Capri pants too, so you
can show off your ankle. I'drather go back to jail. That was
really good. Now do you wantto move on to the love triangle,
the relationship we're most invested in.Yes, Dina is watching Garrett do returns
with women customers. She starts gettingpissed off territoriale. What do you think's
(13:50):
going on between Garrett and that woman? I don't know it looks like he's
helping some girl with a dead tree. Yeah, but it seemed like she
was laughing. If anything, heshould be laughing at her for that ridiculous
return. Oh my god, areyou jealous? And it's weird. It's
weird to see her jealous. Shewants to make plans with him to go
to Laser Tag, and he's like, let's go to that mediterranean food place
(14:11):
next door. Yeah, so that'swhat first they set that up. Yeah,
and it's so like, very clearlylike a date. Listen, we
should go later tonight. Yeah,and as that mediterranean place next door,
we could feel love first. Buthe was like he was trying to understand
the boundary. I'm just trying tobe good about the boundaries that you and
Brian set up. Oh no,it's not like a date as long as
whatever we're doing ends in sex.It's like the Laser Tag is just extended
(14:33):
four play right, four place,surrounded by teenagers and cardboard aliens. Don't
I don't agree. If you're feedingsomebody and fucking them, that's like a
different type of relationship that you probablyneed to include your other partner with.
We are adults in a complex relationshipwhere I am the hinge between a romantic
primary and a sexual secondary. Inmy opinion, I feel like eating food
(14:56):
with somebody and going to a lasertag experience is leaning more towards romance instead
of sexual type relationship. Yeah,or at least platonic friend things that you
can do without sex, you know. So it's just it's really mixed signals,
and it's really it's messy. It'sreally messy for Dina, and it's
(15:18):
so messy that she starts talking toCheyenne about it, and Cheyenne calls her
out. She's like, you likehim, you like like him, and
she gets super defensive, but shestill like hates watching Garrett interact with any
women, to the point where shesends out a company wide email about stay
away from my man. Due torecent complaints, employees at Customer Service are
(15:41):
here by off limits in regards toflirting and or dating. Which concept are
you fuzzy on? And yeah,what do you think about the advice that
Cheyenne gave him? Gave her Dina? What was the advice she said that,
like when Bo had that same situationwith another guy, when I'm pooped
in that guy's car, and ifGarrett doesn't want to poop in somebody's car,
(16:04):
then maybe he's not worth all thiseffort. You know, she should
communicate her feelings to see if they'rereciprocal and reciprocated sorry and so correctly.
But anyway, if they're mutual,like if he's down to like have a
real relationship, then she can figureout what to do with Brian or whatever.
But when she brings it up,it totally doesn't go the way she
(16:26):
wanted. But I don't think shewas clear and what she wanted. Our
situation has gotten a little complicated.Okay, well i'll make it less complicated.
I'm done. What Look, Iknew this thing was going to be
fun and weird, but I wasreally hoping that fun would win. Turns
out it's a blowout for weird.What do you think? What do you
like? Well, so Garrett gotinto this knowing he had complicated feelings,
(16:47):
and he's like, you know,whatever, No, I don't try having
Yeah. Well I think he justhe did it as like a way to
dare himself, just to put himselfinto a situation where he's not going to
catch feelings. Yeah, whereas Dinaherself convinced that this is going to be
a very clear cut, complicated,but not messy. I feel like she's
one of the people that like cravescomplications because she thinks she's better than them,
(17:11):
like she can over come them,she can rise above all of the
mess and clean it up and keepit very surgical. Yes, she can
manage all these moving parts, andyeah, when she clearly could it in
this situation. Yeah, I likethat she was admitting having feeling But did
she admit to have feelings to Garrett. No, exactly. To me,
(17:33):
that's where it all falls apart.If she would have started with that,
I think he would have had adifferent conversation with her, and that's where
the drama comes in and the conflict. Well yeah, I mean I see
this as something that's going to goon till the final episode. They're just
going to keep missing each other,and I kind of love it. I'm
very excited. I hope that Glennnot Glenn, sorry, I hope that
(17:56):
Garrett moves on quickly because he willbecause he's like one of those guys that
would fuck the pain away, andthat Dina like tries to fix things with
Brian so that he's around more orshe like self sabotages in some way in
different like situations. I can seeher like trying to be more sexy too
(18:21):
with her little suits. I dolike her in those suits though. Yeah,
it's a good change. I hatedthose khakis in that polo, but
yeah, good times. I likedit. I like the conflict. I
liked how they dealt with it,and I like I did like that she
was withholding with Garrett in a waythat he's been with her in the past.
So that was very good. Right. I'm interested that there's a laser
(18:45):
Tag place that's the wheelchair accessible.Yeah, I know, I don't I've
never been laser tag, so Idon't know. I just thought there was
always a wheelchair accessible in my mind. I mean, maybe they are because
the kind of like stairs and stuff. Oh really, yeah, they'll be
like an upper level and a lowerlevel. Oh, you're usually not supposed
to run like you can walk fast, and it's a lot of like ducking
(19:07):
and hiding, and yeah, ifyou have a motorized wheelchair, it'd be
fun if you could get up,like if there was ramps, like in
that video game level of Mario Kartwhere you're doing the battle and there's all
those ramps to get up and down. That would be cool with Laser Tag.
Probably. I've never played Laser Tagthough, so I don't know.
I have no reference. Is thatit or did we do a show?
(19:30):
Are we going to talk about nextepisodes and things to come? We did
a show? This kind of feelsshort just because we did one episode on
episode I love it. Yeah,I have one piece of news. It's
kind of interesting. The Superstore isgetting a Spanish language adaptation. What that
makes me think of Ugly Betty butbackwards? And there's not a lot of
(19:51):
information about like the hoew they're goingto adapt the stories or anything like that.
But said they ordered a season offorty eight one hour episodes. Yeah.
Girl. In Spanish, they don'tfuck around with seasons. They just
give you a show that's that's awhole solid year. Yes, it's beautiful.
I love it. That's how Tellentovela'swork. So it's like a novela
(20:14):
but funny. I'm sure it's goingto have humor. I wonder if they're
going to call it Walmart. Youdon't think so that's the Spanish translation of
Walmart. Yeah, I thought thatwas interesting, interesting to check out.
Can we watch it? Yeah,hell you. I'd be curious to see
(20:36):
how they like adapt, how closelythey adapt, like the characters and any
of the storylines. Yeah, youknow what, it's probably going to be
a little different because, uh,supermarkets in Mexico are not as prevalent as
they are in the United States.It's more market based and grocery based.
(20:59):
But in the bigger cities you'll seesupermarkets. There have been places in Mexico
where Walmart was driven out by thelocals because they know what it is.
They're like, fuck that, wedon't want our small businesses to suffer at
the hands of this giant corporation.And it was really cool to see that,
like back in like the early twothousands when that was happening, but
(21:22):
more and more there's like different versionsof it. There's a lot of like
department stores too, that are prettypopular in Mexico. But it will be
interesting to see that. I feellike a lot of the characters are going
to be familiar to the audience,though they might not be they might not
be as diverse. I hate tosay that, but it's kind of Spanish
(21:42):
television isn't known for its broad diversity, you know what I mean. Yeah,
so it would be nice to seepeople in wheelchairs or like people with
different body types that aren't a jokebecause of their bodies. Like Sandra is
a bigger woman, but she's notfunny because she's big. She's funny because
(22:04):
she's sand gra Yeah, so Ihope they do that. It might be
like The Office, you know,like how they'll take the characters, but
they'll like just change the humor.Yeah, there's a bunch of adaptations of
the Office. There's like a Germanone's like six different ones. Wow.
Yeah, everything else. Just thenext episode is called Deep Cleaning. Oh
(22:27):
it's not fun, and that'll airon March four, twenty twenty one.
Wow. So we'll see you then, y'all. We will see you then.

guy is like irresponsible, it's him, not us. There might be a
little bit of liability that the storeis involved in, but not like if
(05:08):
it was his fault, it washis fault, even though there are people
that are above him and should beoverseeing him and making sure that he's doing
his job. Yeah, but atthe end of the day, like they
don't care, like because they can'tmake everybody do their job exactly right,
they're gonna let whoever's gonna be fallingfor it go, Like yeah, I've
seen them do worse, like wherepeople who get Workmen's comp will get fired
(05:30):
for getting hurt. So I don'tput that below. But for me,
I'm just confused why Carol's lawyer wouldpursue that line of questioning when the big
payday would be to go after Cloudnine and not Glenn, Like hello,
like Glenn barely like has a car, you know, like he has this
(05:51):
is the only his income is fromCloud nine, Like he can't afford to
get Sudi as a two year old, and his health is like so bad.
How much money do you think you'regonna get out of him? Really,
like I would be like, Okay, that's enough. I don't need
a grill anybody. I don't reallycare to even pivot towards Glenn, cause
I mean, you're right, likeit's Cloud nine who hired an incompetent person,
(06:13):
or there should have been process andprocedure to prevent something like that from
happening. But then as the episodegoes on, everybody's like trying to up
Glenn because Jonah tells everyone he screwedthe pooch so to speak. Glenn can
handle phone calls, yeah, keepthings in binders, Oh, he wears
(06:35):
clothes. Honestly, when you addit up, you can do like probably
hundreds of things. I really likedwhere this went. But in the end,
like Glenn actually did learn how todo all this and was competent and
did everything he was supposed to.I did it, sorry, well not
at first, but I watched hoursof online videos and eventually I figured it
(06:58):
out. We don't get to seethat Glenn a lot, but like it
has to be there, like ifhe's been the manager this long, he
has to be capable of, youknow, doing all the roles that aren't
that interesting to look at, likewhere orders supplies and what all that stuff.
You know, like he has tobe somewhat good at his job,
even if we were always looking athow ridiculous he is. Yes, person,
Yes, I think we saw thisalso in the episode where Amy ordered
(07:21):
too many ice creams or something likethat. Yeah, and she didn't realize
how Glenn worked the system and heknew like the drivers, and he kind
of had this repertoire with everybody whoworks with him that helps him run and
manage the store in a way that'sefficient. You've been doing this for a
(07:41):
long time, and I should haverespected that. And this is another example
of him like working undercover, likenot really showing everybody, ooh, look
at me, I'm like doing mymaintenance or because it's none of your business.
This is my job. I'm thefloor supervisor doing my own thing.
You go do your thing on stockinglittle shelves over their jonah, you know,
(08:05):
like stay out of my business.You don't need to know anything.
And thankfully he tracked that like inhis little duck calendar, and that was
that was kind of a saving graceand testament to his organizational level, which
is pretty important I think to show. And I really liked how he did
all the things to keep it maintainedand he still got shocked by that stupid
(08:28):
robot. Yeah, so is atakeaway from that that there's just an issue
with the robot that's defective? Yeah? And Cloud nine is that what is
that company that they're owned by,holes Zerocks or what is it? Yeah?
So it's a Zephyra machine. Soyeah, they owe that woman compensation
(08:50):
for sure, and I would loveto see them kind of figure that out
somehow. Do you want to talkabout Mattel or do you want to talk
about Garrett Dina? Let's go toMateo because that ties in a bit with
Eugene and the deposition. Yeah,so I wish we knew more about what
was going on in Mateo's world withhis legal status. Yeah. I think
(09:13):
we've mentioned that a lot specifically me. Well, they've been just kind of
like not even mentioning it at all. But when they brought it into the
episode, I'm like, Oh,we're finally going to learn more, and
I'm hoping we get some sense ofclosure closure by the end of the season.
Oh, we'll have to this isthe last season. Yeah. But
so he's getting his ankle monitor offand they've called Eugene in for the deposition.
(09:39):
And if we don't remember, becauseit's been a long time since they
even talked about this guy, he'sthe one who took over Mateo's eyeball job
with that weird eyeball guy who wasusing him so weirdly. Yes, And
so he comes in to talk toMateo about like how he's going to be
very transparent through the episode, abouthow they switched rolls, and Matteo's freaking
(10:03):
the fuck out because he's like,I got plans for my hot ankles,
don't worry. I'm just going togo in there and explain our situation.
How on paper, you know youstill work in the vision center and I'm
Glenn's assistant. You you can't arrangementisn't exactly above board. And so he
freaks out and he locks him inhis office or his broom closet. Really
(10:24):
yeah, and when he blocked whenhe uses like a little doorstopper and add
the magic of acting to make himbelieve that he's really stuck in there,
and Sandra gets roped in and thatwas a fun little interaction. I thought,
Yeah, it's kind of funny theway Eugene introduced himself. It was
kind of like he's trying to remindthe audience of like, hey, this
(10:46):
is who I am. You can'ttell him wearing a mask. Yeah,
you haven't seen me in a longtime. Yeah, that was really cool.
And Matao, it's Eugene, thisis what I look like in a
mask. Yeah. And then Mateogoes into the deposition answering questions in the
third person, basically so that hedoesn't have to implicate himself his line because
he's technically not Eugene, but he'sanswering for Eugene. Eugena Mellley is glencissistant.
(11:11):
Yes, oh you can just sayI you gena Melee just thinks a
little differently. And I hope thatdoesn't come back to bite him in the
ass. I hope that's enough.Yeah. I mean they were talking in
the beginning of the episode, likewalk that line of what they call it
perjury. Yeah, yeah, hedidn't want You don't want to perjure yourself
for sure, well, yeah,that seems pretty reckless. I can see
(11:31):
why though, like, especially ifhe's been but and the thing is,
just because your ankle monitor is offdoes not mean that you're in the clear.
The courts know where you work,they know where you live, they
know where you've been going. Solike, it's hard, especially in the
United States for people who don't havearen't legalized in the system. It's it's
(11:54):
like sometimes you wait like five toten years to get your documentation in order,
and sometimes they'll send you back toyour home country in order for it
to go through properly or whatever.I've seen people that are like days away
from getting it and then their appointmentgets rescheduled for like another two years.
So it's really shitty. It's ashitty system. And I just hope that
(12:18):
they're I want him to have ahappy ending quickly. Otherwise he should just
get married. Just marry, justget get married. You'll have an episode
with America Ferrera and it'll be good. I mean that could be where they're
going, because they did show what'sher brother's name, I don't know.
They did show his boyfriend Eric,yeah, Eric, and kind of show
(12:39):
that they're like moving in together intoa house, so like could be setting
that up. But yeah, they'rebasically just not going to spend the resources
to be tracking him with the anklemonitor. Yeah, which, by the
way, the person who is wearingthe ankle monitor is actually paying for it.
You get to rent it. Yeah, that's the court systems. Yeah,
anything else on those MATEO, SandraEugene. I like that Sandra was
(13:03):
with him one. Yeah, someone'sgetting their ankle monitor off today. Oh
my god, it's huge, Iknow, right, that was so good
to see them and how she evenlike was like, you're not a boot
person because in the tale is likethat was the first person that I saw
him share that with, right,And she suggested Caprice And he's like,
(13:24):
I'd rather die, and I getyourself some Capri pants too, so you
can show off your ankle. I'drather go back to jail. That was
really good. Now do you wantto move on to the love triangle,
the relationship we're most invested in.Yes, Dina is watching Garrett do returns
with women customers. She starts gettingpissed off territoriale. What do you think's
(13:50):
going on between Garrett and that woman? I don't know it looks like he's
helping some girl with a dead tree. Yeah, but it seemed like she
was laughing. If anything, heshould be laughing at her for that ridiculous
return. Oh my god, areyou jealous? And it's weird. It's
weird to see her jealous. Shewants to make plans with him to go
to Laser Tag, and he's like, let's go to that mediterranean food place
(14:11):
next door. Yeah, so that'swhat first they set that up. Yeah,
and it's so like, very clearlylike a date. Listen, we
should go later tonight. Yeah,and as that mediterranean place next door,
we could feel love first. Buthe was like he was trying to understand
the boundary. I'm just trying tobe good about the boundaries that you and
Brian set up. Oh no,it's not like a date as long as
whatever we're doing ends in sex.It's like the Laser Tag is just extended
(14:33):
four play right, four place,surrounded by teenagers and cardboard aliens. Don't
I don't agree. If you're feedingsomebody and fucking them, that's like a
different type of relationship that you probablyneed to include your other partner with.
We are adults in a complex relationshipwhere I am the hinge between a romantic
primary and a sexual secondary. Inmy opinion, I feel like eating food
(14:56):
with somebody and going to a lasertag experience is leaning more towards romance instead
of sexual type relationship. Yeah,or at least platonic friend things that you
can do without sex, you know. So it's just it's really mixed signals,
and it's really it's messy. It'sreally messy for Dina, and it's
(15:18):
so messy that she starts talking toCheyenne about it, and Cheyenne calls her
out. She's like, you likehim, you like like him, and
she gets super defensive, but shestill like hates watching Garrett interact with any
women, to the point where shesends out a company wide email about stay
away from my man. Due torecent complaints, employees at Customer Service are
(15:41):
here by off limits in regards toflirting and or dating. Which concept are
you fuzzy on? And yeah,what do you think about the advice that
Cheyenne gave him? Gave her Dina? What was the advice she said that,
like when Bo had that same situationwith another guy, when I'm pooped
in that guy's car, and ifGarrett doesn't want to poop in somebody's car,
(16:04):
then maybe he's not worth all thiseffort. You know, she should
communicate her feelings to see if they'rereciprocal and reciprocated sorry and so correctly.
But anyway, if they're mutual,like if he's down to like have a
real relationship, then she can figureout what to do with Brian or whatever.
But when she brings it up,it totally doesn't go the way she
(16:26):
wanted. But I don't think shewas clear and what she wanted. Our
situation has gotten a little complicated.Okay, well i'll make it less complicated.
I'm done. What Look, Iknew this thing was going to be
fun and weird, but I wasreally hoping that fun would win. Turns
out it's a blowout for weird.What do you think? What do you
like? Well, so Garrett gotinto this knowing he had complicated feelings,
(16:47):
and he's like, you know,whatever, No, I don't try having
Yeah. Well I think he justhe did it as like a way to
dare himself, just to put himselfinto a situation where he's not going to
catch feelings. Yeah, whereas Dinaherself convinced that this is going to be
a very clear cut, complicated,but not messy. I feel like she's
one of the people that like cravescomplications because she thinks she's better than them,
(17:11):
like she can over come them,she can rise above all of the
mess and clean it up and keepit very surgical. Yes, she can
manage all these moving parts, andyeah, when she clearly could it in
this situation. Yeah, I likethat she was admitting having feeling But did
she admit to have feelings to Garrett. No, exactly. To me,
(17:33):
that's where it all falls apart.If she would have started with that,
I think he would have had adifferent conversation with her, and that's where
the drama comes in and the conflict. Well yeah, I mean I see
this as something that's going to goon till the final episode. They're just
going to keep missing each other,and I kind of love it. I'm
very excited. I hope that Glennnot Glenn, sorry, I hope that
(17:56):
Garrett moves on quickly because he willbecause he's like one of those guys that
would fuck the pain away, andthat Dina like tries to fix things with
Brian so that he's around more orshe like self sabotages in some way in
different like situations. I can seeher like trying to be more sexy too
(18:21):
with her little suits. I dolike her in those suits though. Yeah,
it's a good change. I hatedthose khakis in that polo, but
yeah, good times. I likedit. I like the conflict. I
liked how they dealt with it,and I like I did like that she
was withholding with Garrett in a waythat he's been with her in the past.
So that was very good. Right. I'm interested that there's a laser
(18:45):
Tag place that's the wheelchair accessible.Yeah, I know, I don't I've
never been laser tag, so Idon't know. I just thought there was
always a wheelchair accessible in my mind. I mean, maybe they are because
the kind of like stairs and stuff. Oh really, yeah, they'll be
like an upper level and a lowerlevel. Oh, you're usually not supposed
to run like you can walk fast, and it's a lot of like ducking
(19:07):
and hiding, and yeah, ifyou have a motorized wheelchair, it'd be
fun if you could get up,like if there was ramps, like in
that video game level of Mario Kartwhere you're doing the battle and there's all
those ramps to get up and down. That would be cool with Laser Tag.
Probably. I've never played Laser Tagthough, so I don't know.
I have no reference. Is thatit or did we do a show?
(19:30):
Are we going to talk about nextepisodes and things to come? We did
a show? This kind of feelsshort just because we did one episode on
episode I love it. Yeah,I have one piece of news. It's
kind of interesting. The Superstore isgetting a Spanish language adaptation. What that
makes me think of Ugly Betty butbackwards? And there's not a lot of
(19:51):
information about like the hoew they're goingto adapt the stories or anything like that.
But said they ordered a season offorty eight one hour episodes. Yeah.
Girl. In Spanish, they don'tfuck around with seasons. They just
give you a show that's that's awhole solid year. Yes, it's beautiful.
I love it. That's how Tellentovela'swork. So it's like a novela
(20:14):
but funny. I'm sure it's goingto have humor. I wonder if they're
going to call it Walmart. Youdon't think so that's the Spanish translation of
Walmart. Yeah, I thought thatwas interesting, interesting to check out.
Can we watch it? Yeah,hell you. I'd be curious to see
(20:36):
how they like adapt, how closelythey adapt, like the characters and any
of the storylines. Yeah, youknow what, it's probably going to be
a little different because, uh,supermarkets in Mexico are not as prevalent as
they are in the United States.It's more market based and grocery based.
(20:59):
But in the bigger cities you'll seesupermarkets. There have been places in Mexico
where Walmart was driven out by thelocals because they know what it is.
They're like, fuck that, wedon't want our small businesses to suffer at
the hands of this giant corporation.And it was really cool to see that,
like back in like the early twothousands when that was happening, but
(21:22):
more and more there's like different versionsof it. There's a lot of like
department stores too, that are prettypopular in Mexico. But it will be
interesting to see that. I feellike a lot of the characters are going
to be familiar to the audience,though they might not be they might not
be as diverse. I hate tosay that, but it's kind of Spanish
(21:42):
television isn't known for its broad diversity, you know what I mean. Yeah,
so it would be nice to seepeople in wheelchairs or like people with
different body types that aren't a jokebecause of their bodies. Like Sandra is
a bigger woman, but she's notfunny because she's big. She's funny because
(22:04):
she's sand gra Yeah, so Ihope they do that. It might be
like The Office, you know,like how they'll take the characters, but
they'll like just change the humor.Yeah, there's a bunch of adaptations of
the Office. There's like a Germanone's like six different ones. Wow.
Yeah, everything else. Just thenext episode is called Deep Cleaning. Oh
(22:27):
it's not fun, and that'll airon March four, twenty twenty one.
Wow. So we'll see you then, y'all. We will see you then.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
