Zoom. Dating is basically interviewing somebodywhile judging their wal art And I guess
you got to keep your hands inframe right, otherwise the other person is
going to think you're touching yourself.What No, I usually I keep them.
Are people thinking that? Oh?Absolutely? Welcome to Cloud nine,
(00:23):
a Superstar podcast. I'm Jason andI'm BB and we're back talking about two
more episodes of Superstar. We're talkingabout episode eight of season six, which
is called ground Rules, and itaired on February fourth, twenty twenty one.
Written by Jen Vierk and directed byVictor Nelly Junior. Yes, and
if you want to talk to usabout this episode, or any episode or
(00:46):
anything really, you can email us. You can find us on Facebook or
Twitter to shoot us a message.And we were happy to talk about this
show, which is what we're goingto do right now. Yes, ground
Rules. Ground Rules is Tony's firstday work. Tony Bean, Sandra's adopted
son. Yes, who calls hermom a lot? Yeah, like a
lot. I'm mean about roast beefsandwich. Mom. Come on, if
(01:08):
he doesn't need every forty five minutes, he turned into a real grumposaurus.
I like their relationship it's very genuine, and that was like something that happened
immediately, Like when she first adoptedhim, they walked down the store together.
He was like, Mom, stopit. Yeah, I like it.
It's cute, it's funny. Yeah, it's like preposterous like that would
(01:29):
I don't think you should have thatkind of expectation of like a foster child.
No, but Sandra's like a mamabear. Yeah. And Glenn is
giving them a lot of attention becausehe's very excited to have also his former
adopted son. Yeah, like hefeels like he's a big part of this
too. Well, my son aCloud nine employee. We're a dynasty like
(01:53):
Billy Ray and Miley, and hewas my foster child. It's like God's
been engraving this name tag for yousince the day you were born. Did
you just touch my nipper? Oh, I'm sorry. And then they picked
Jonah to be his trainer, andthey have to put things away in the
refrigerated aisle and the freezer aisle,and for me personally, I just think
(02:14):
it's weird that they're not putting thingsor stalking things from the other side of
the freezer wall. Yeah, Ifeel like they just like didn't have that
part of the set. So they'rejust in the front, but that part
of the set shouldn't even look thatfancy or built out like they had the
front end, So like it hasto have a back. There has to
(02:35):
be a back to that. Theremight not be room to shoot back there.
Oh, but there's really not alot of rooms sometimes in those areas,
depending on what a big store shouldhave, usually a lot of them.
They have to have room for Jonahto hit him in the face.
Yeah, there had to be someconflict and yeah, so Tony's not really
serious about the job either. No, he's just a teenage Yeah. It
(03:00):
was so funny when he opened thatbox and all the pizzas wellouse. This
episode was funny. I liked it. There was like a lot of really
funny scenes that are just like physicalcomedy. Yeah, that was one of
the gags. And I think inthis episode there was also one of those
cutaway scenes where the customers are involvedand one of the customers put jewelry in
(03:25):
their mask yep, and that wasjust fucking hilarious because people would One of
the cutaways was just Tony like onthe couch watching was like a whale or
something in a video. Yeah,like Nature documentary. Every time it did
something, he was like shocked.Yeah, and it's nice to see like
(03:47):
somebody doing that because I think they'veshown other employees kind of chilling out on
in that area before. Yeah,so it was nice to kind of see
that part of the scenes. Buthe went there after Jonah hit him in
the face. Yep. So Jonahgets all flustered because what's her name in
the show, Nia? Nia?Nia comes over and is like, we
(04:12):
should talk about that garbage thing orI don't know, they talk politics,
and this teenager is like, oh, she wants it. Whoa. Tony
looks like you got the cool teacher. Yeah, yeah, that's me.
All right, I'm gonna go beforeyou bust out the guitar. I'll see
what lunch, all right, I'llsee you, dude. She wants your
nuts. Sorry, she's totally intoyou. And Jonah starts getting in his
(04:35):
head about it, and then hestarts getting excited about like seeing Nia again.
And one of the things that Garretttells him I think is really funny
where he's like there's women outside ofthis store, you know, like Nia's
just really cool, you know,it's the first time I've actually been kind
of excited about somebody since Amy.But you do know that there are women
(04:56):
outside of the store, right,You shouldn't use your workplace as your personal
tender. You know. That wasso good and I feel like I've been
on that a lot. Yeah.I mean it's funny like within the show,
but it's also almost like a metajoke that shows like this kind of
suffer from, like the only peoplethat the characters meet are like at the
workplace, because we don't spend alot of time out of the store with
(05:19):
them. Mmmmm yeah. So it'spretty good. So that's like a whole
thing. So Garrett's the one tellinghim that, and he's like wrapped up
with Dina. And that's why thisis called ground rules. Yes, because
the last episode, Garrett and Dinahad a moment in the what they call
it the back room, the backsteakhouse, the trough, the trough.
(05:44):
It was something weird. They hada moment and Dina like obviously was aware
of it, and she addressed itdirectly, and she brought it up to
Garrett and he's like, yeah,it's it was just a one time thing.
It doesn't mean anything, and she'slike, cool, I'm gonna go
tell my boyfriend. So I'm justgonna call Brian and tell him everything.
(06:05):
What wait, no, you saidcase closed. The case is closed.
He can't reopen the case. Andhe was shocked that he did that,
that she would do that, whichI don't know, like, would you
expect somebody to share that if itwas like supposed to be that way,
or would you expect them to keepit quiet? I mean, I think
it's important that like they literally didn'tdo anything. It was like there was
(06:29):
clearly a moment, just tension.Yeah, they managed not to act on
it. Yeah, But like soshe shares this with her partner and like
comes back with a different attitude.I guess, like, so, what's
his name? Well, he walksin and Garrett's trying to like hide,
yeah, because he comes in andit looks kind of intimidating. Well,
you can't tell because of the fuckingmask, right. The fact that he
(06:51):
even knew who he was with amask on was shocking to be It's fucking
Brian, I knew it was somethingbasic. So comes in and makes a
beeline to the service center, thecustomer service area, where Garrett works,
and he's trying to keep the securityguard there to like just be present,
(07:12):
right, because he's like, Ineed a buffer because this is going to
be awkward. And it kind ofis, but not in the way Garrett
expects because as soon as Brian showsup, Dina pulls in and they both
break the news that they want Garrettto be their side piece and decided we're
going to have an open relationship.What you're going to be our side piece?
(07:33):
Yeah, well, you know,technically I think he'd just be your
side piece. Well, what's myside piece? Is your side piece?
Shut? And I think that isthe most demeaning way to ask somebody to
join a relationship that's like open.Yeah, to call you a fucking side
piece, like you're a fucking sideof French fries or like, I don't
(07:54):
know, like a chicken meal.It just felt weird. I was like,
this is an appropriate and he wasopen to it. He didn't say
no outright, He heard them out, which I thought was also interesting.
Yeah, I mean he might havejust felt like he was stuck in this
situation. Fair they did corner him. You really thought this out? Yeah?
Sure, he And there's a lotof things for us to go over
(08:15):
with you, but I want tomake sure it's clear I save the girlfriend
stuff for this guy. Get nopoint, did they really take what he
wanted into consideration. There was like, hey, this is what we should
do and it'll be great for youand us. Yeah, they were just
say like, let us use youbecause I'm out of town a lot,
and she obviously has sexual urges andneeds that you can satisfy because you already
(08:37):
know this area. That's like itwas very cut and dry, and the
moment he was just like not intoit was when they threw the teddy bear
on him. Really important to establishsexual boundaries, So we will stick a
thumbs up sticker everywhere you're allowed totouch Dina. Now, the thumbs up
represents a general green light, butin some cases it's so little more literal.
(09:00):
I think that that created a momentof just like pure objectification of both
parties of Dina and Garrett. Andthat was where he had to draw the
line where it's like, I don'tlike this, that's not organic for him.
Yeah. Only when it comes backto what Jonah kind of points out
to him that if he didn't haveany emotions for Dina, then he would
(09:20):
just be into this and that's theworst that he comes back because of that
comment, because of his denial ofemotions. Emotions. Yeah, it's like
toxic masculinity at its peak with Garrett, which is really unfortunate because it would
have been interesting to say, whatwould happen if he said, yeah,
you know what, You're right,I think I do have a lot of
(09:41):
unresolved emotional issues with her and I'dlove to address them. Wouldn't that be
an interesting episode? Well, itis interesting because in this episode in particular,
like right at the top, likeGarrett is just like brutally honest with
Jonah about like how he's feeling,like what happened with Dina, Like he's
just laying it out there, Beanand I almost kissed yesterday. What I
(10:01):
mean, nothing happened. There wasno lip collision, but there was definitely
a swerve to miss situation. Likewe've started seeing this with Gary. I
think it was the start of theseason where he just like plainly tells Jonah
like, hey, like you've beena good friend. I'm glad you're in
my life. Mm hmm. Youkind of seen this other side of him.
But then he backslides yeah, Ifeel like they just need a little
(10:22):
more drama to get to the endof the show. They can do that
without having to erase the progress ofa character, though in my opinion,
I don't know. I've always hadopinions about how the writing could always be
better. Yeah, but I don'tknow, Like one step backwards doesn't erase
several steps forward. But it wouldhave been so good if it was like
an actual, like emotional three wayrelationship, like if it was like a
(10:46):
fully open relationship, because it can'tbe an open relationship when any of the
parties are closed my like lying andhe's he's doing that, and that's just
like, I don't know, it'sdoing a disservice to a lot of the
polyamorous relationships that do exist, inmy opinion, because they could show like
a genuine polyamorous relationship, but nowit's just a fucking plot device instead used
(11:11):
to erase a man's emotions, whichsucks and it shouldn't be that way,
But what do I know? Whatelse happens in this episode Jason Well Seyenne
is in full for supervisor mode,giving out shift assignments, and she's turned
it into quite the spectacle I'm goingto play both of my reverses and send
(11:31):
it back to side. Oh yeah, that's cooled. Side. You're on
bathroom duty unless you want to useyour skipstone, but just remember you won't
get another one until next month.Yeah. They play games like if you
don't want to clean the toilets,you have a little passing stone or something
like that. Yeah. Sings likethere's a whole lot of gimmicks and it's
(11:52):
like a complicated card game almost ofwho's doing what. Yeah, and it
seems to be a lot of funfor everyone. Yeah, everyone's involved in
participating, and they're kind of itlooks like they're even excited to get their
work assignments because it's part of theirlike routine. And in the morning,
like that can be really shitty becauseyou're still, like, you know,
(12:13):
coping with the fact that you haveto show up to a shitty job.
So as this is happening, Mateonotices it and he kind of pops in
with some helpful advice about not lettingElias go into the greeting card section because
he's like in bed. Hey,when you were floor supervisor, did Alias
always ask to work in greeting cards? Yeah? I don't let him.
(12:35):
He reads all the cards out loudand adds words in bed. It literally
never works. Okay, thanks,any other pro tips? Let me know?
Oh really well, happy to help. And that kind of goes straight
to Mateo's head because he has that, you know, superiority complex. Yeah,
she does ask him for advice,and then he lays everything on her.
(12:56):
It gives her too much advice.He doesn't just give advice he can.
I was like on constructive criticism.He starts telling her her clothes or
shitty, she shouldn't use stickers,and her eye makeup is terrible, like
don't wear glitter, and it's justbasically saying stop being chyenne. Yeah,
he's being like critical of her thepersonality that she's bringing to the job,
(13:20):
which is just herself. I lovedwhen she stood up for herself and said,
like I got picked to do thisjob, whereas you just started calling
yourself the floor manager. And Idon't believe that I'm doing it in a
way that's wrong or like unsuccessful.I actually think I'm doing a really good
job. Yeah. The games andstuff are dorky, but they help people
(13:41):
forget that their job sucks for asecond. I'm just saying, you might
want to listen to the cold standardfloor supervisor. You weren't even given the
job. You just started saying thatyou had it. At least I was
like chosen to do this. Ireally loved that she kind of held her
own and was like standing her ground. Yeah she did, and it was
good to see that. It leadsto this beef between them that goes into
(14:03):
the next episode. I did findit interesting. I was never really clear
on Mateo, like as the floorsupervisor, Like how much did he actually
have the job besides putting a pictureof himself on the wall, Like we
never actually saw him doing it.He did, remember when he would assign
everybody to the freezer. You don'tremember when he's like, oh, you
pissed me off, you go backand work the freezer. I don't think
(14:26):
that's when he was the supervisor.I think like Amy or someone like handed
in the clipboard, like take careof this, I gotta do something else.
So he was doing it, andhe like he mentioned, like do
this in the way that an evilqueen would command. And that's the energy
he brought to that role. Whatelse we got? So this episode,
there was this thing with the Niaand Jonah, Jonah thinking that she was
(14:50):
into him because of Tony telling himthat a teen tells you that somebody's into
you, so you just go hama teen who not that long ago,
was asking Garrett a quote buttload ofquestions about love and sex. Mm hmm.
But so Jonah asks Nia about it, and Neo straight up's like,
I'm a lesbian, not even likeletting him explain anything or like getting any
(15:11):
more information in there, and thenshe casually implies that he's a lot older
than her too. No, no, no, no, you were just
being friendly in it, And I'mlike, this had her enormative bowl in
a lesbian china shop. Yeah kindof, But it's not really your fault.
Your generation is a little more rigidabout gender and sexuality. Yeah,
(15:31):
which is funny because like they Ithink Eve and Garrett's like, yeah,
you're ten years older than her,which is disgusting to be honest. If
she's like twenty and he's thirty,that's a little iffy, that's a little
sus bro. It's probably more liketwenty five thirty five. Okay, that's
still yeah. I don't know.The age gap can make a difference.
(15:52):
But if so, with all that, he's no longer allowed to work with
minors, but he's gonna have Chinesewith Garrett with a family, so that's
nice. Yep, And pretty sureGlenn has never had Chinese food before.
Well, he had never had Mexicanfood before. Well, there there is
this Chinese place that I've been wantingto try. Absolutely they have plain white
(16:15):
rice though, right they do.They absolutely fucking Glenn Man. But I
don't know. I still think Jonahreally needs to not date people in the
workplace because in the time that we'veseen these only were like dated people that
work with him. Yeah, Amyand Kelly, And there's that magazine interviewer
(16:37):
or something. Yeah, that latethe lady from the Scrubs University, Glenn's
daughter that he met at the storeone time. Oh my god, I've
got about her. I'm mister RuSHA. I wish they would bring her back
for an episode before it's all over. Yeah, so do you want to
talk about the next episode. Let'smove to the next episode, which is
(17:02):
season six, episode nine, Conspiracy. This aired February eleventh, twenty twenty
one, directed by James Renfro andwritten by Colton Dunn, who is Garrett.
Oh okay, so how does itopen? I forgot were they talking?
Was it? It opens with Mateoand Cheyenne. Yeah, bah,
(17:23):
back and forth, still on theirbeef, talking about Bob is a party
bus husband or something like that.The insults were great person our history.
I went in rush Chyan with protection. I may be a teen mom,
but at least I don't look likesomeone put a Pixar character into a microwave.
(17:44):
Well, you'd be DreamWorks bitch.And then that just like that ended
it. Oh, it was sobad. They were so mean, they
cut so deep, and everybody wasreally into it. It was like one
of those like wrap battles or whatever, you know that meme with that kid
that's like, oh like that.And we kind of come to realize that
(18:10):
they're liking the attention of their fightmore than they're really upset with each other.
It's not as fun without anyone watching, right. I feel like we
could get their attention back if wejust up our game a little. Yeah.
Yeah, they're still kind of bitchytowards each other, but then they
start not getting as much attention becausesaid finally breaks up with his horrible girlfriend
and everybody gives him like so muchattention and support that it bugs them.
(18:36):
Okay, let's get really real aboutCyan. Well it happened. Then it
dumped me. Oh no, really, damn it. I'm so sorry.
You guys were just at the cheesecakefactory like three weeks ago. You look
so happy, guys getting really realabout which was honestly, like pretty sweet
to see, like characters that likedon't really get along that much or just
(18:59):
all there for SAYI. Yeah,because I remember when Sayid and Justine just
had they also have had their beef, so you didn't see it coming at
all. No, I always expectedher to kill me, not to break
up with me. Well, ifyou ever need a quick pick me up
or whatever, you have my number. Yes, you've been very clear.
Thanks. But it was nice tosee them like being supportive and like letting
(19:19):
something that is obviously more important thantwo petty arguments like on the side,
Like, I think that they wereright in the way that they spent their
attention. Yeah, for sure.But then with that, Mateo and Cheyenne
start to get closer, even thoughthey're still making digs at each other,
they start to work together and reallycollaborate again. Which I think reignites the
(19:44):
real friendship. Yeah, and it'skind of funny the way they're still fighting
but going to do things together becauseno one else is interested in right,
they're bullshit right, And eventually Matteodoes apologize, which is nice because he
does oh chyan apology. He refusedto at first, like he and he
like was like, when are yougoing to apologize to me? Because I'm
(20:06):
leaving soon? My boyfriend's picking meup, So TikTok, are you being
serious you expect me to apologize toyou. I have nothing to be sorry
about. I was giving you amazingadvice and you mocked me and made me
show my penis to the world.The only reason that you were giving me
advice was so that you could reliveyour glory day. So it was cool
to see them in their dynamic.Yeah. Oh and then this episode was
(20:30):
the conspiracy one, so yeah,Glenn, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner.
But Glenn Uh falls down a rabbithole of like Zephyra being mind controlling
five G producing technology like cult yeap, and it all started because he's not
(20:55):
allowed to say have a heavenly dayto people which is like one of the
only reasons that he like justified workingfor an evil corporation like Cloud Nine,
because, let's be honest, theyhad a killer clown because their mascot.
So he also seems to think thatnot saying how the heavenly day is like
(21:18):
saying the opposite. Zephyr was askingthat we no longer use the term heavenly
day. What, Yeah, therewas a memo they feel it's a little
loaded. Yeah. Yeah, it'sloaded with kindness. It's the same thing
as saying have a nice day orhave a good day. Great, then
say one of those instead to thecustomers. I might as well give him
the middle finger. Yeah, ifyou don't tell people, it's like I've
(21:38):
worked this, okay, So Iunderstand how I work in the Midwest,
and I understand how people get soupset when they're not allowed to say bless
you or be blessed as an endingor not like a goodbye or God bless
you. That's yeah, it's likeI did not sneeze, what but yeah,
(22:02):
it's it is totally weird. Itwas funny how Jonah said some people
don't believe in heaven, and itwas just dead quiet. I don't think
could even process. It was sogood because I was like, oh,
he's gonna say something, right,like he's gonna say something, but then
he didn't even say anything, andthat made it even better. But I
(22:26):
do see that as an equivalent tolike people who were really hardcore about saying
like God bless you as their likesign off, or because I used to
say good luck, which is sofucking week. It's kind of shitty to
say that to people, I thinkin hindsight, because I worked at a
hardware store and you know, peoplewere getting glue or nails or whatever it
(22:48):
may be. They were doing theirDIY projects and I'm like, good luck.
It could be it's like I genuinelyhope you have good luck in this
endeavor, or it could be likeyou're not gonna get it, you're gonna
need it. But yeah, Soit was interesting that that was like what
(23:10):
drove him down this conspiracy rabbit hole. And I was surprised that Sandra and
Marcus were in on this weird conspiracytheory line. I don't dress that for
either. I've learned some stuff.You're ready to wake up? Well I
am awake, not yet. Imean, Marcus doesn't surprise me that much.
No, but Sandra and Marcus together, like when she's like, Marcus,
(23:33):
tell him what you told me.It's all true and there's videos to
prove it. Just google Zephyra mindcontrol guy goes nuts at Red Lobster,
Like I would think that she wouldknow better when she hears things coming out
of Marcus's mouse, But I kindof I think it shows like how conspiracy
theories can affect anybody. Yeah,didn't take long on the internet for going
(23:56):
to like fall down that rabbit hole. Nope. It started doing some research
and I came across this article thetruth about Zephyra. I think there's a
fishy business going on. Oh.I love how they he started talking about
it and they're like, Okay,we got to cut your screen time,
buddy. And when they started talkingabout conspiracy theories, like Dona wanted to
(24:18):
like just stop talking about it.Yeah, and Jonah's like, let me
play Devil's EDWI cute and nobody likesthat guy. Now hang on because often
these ideas become stronger when people feelshamed or marginalized. All right, let's
talk this out. Why do wethink Zephyr controls mine. As soon as
he said that, I think Iheard Garrett say, oh, here we
go, and they went there like. It didn't take very long before they
(24:45):
started having flat earth or theorists comingout. Yep, Cody's right. They
could have easily doctored the moon landingfootage, just like they show us photos
where the Earth looks around when it'sdefinitely flat, and we got there.
You're right, Jonah. This isso much better than shutting it down.
But it was so funny when fuckingJonah was like, no, the Earth
is a flat. When you sitout in the docks and you watch the
(25:07):
ships go and they disappear, you'vedone it. Put on your little pea
coat and stood on a dop forhours until ships disappeared. We know that
Jonah wears a little pea coat andhe would not sit out there and watch
those boats for hours. And Idon't know that she was like advocating for
the flat earth. I think shewas just calling Jonah out. I'm like,
(25:27):
you've never done that. Yeah,you need to shut the fuck up
if you don't know nothing about like, but me use a different example,
friend. But that's funny. Idon't know. I thought it was a
good a good conversation that you wouldnot want to have at work, but
that happens at work anything else.And that's all I really wrote down for
this episode. At the end,they go ahead and tell Glenn that he
(25:48):
can say heavenly day. Turns outthat corporate got Glenn's email after all,
and it totally changed their minds itdid you know what I saw that memo?
Too? Good job, Glenn.I keep refreshing, but there's nothing.
What time was it sent? Don'tknow, Dina. But what I
do know is we can say havea heavenly day now. And that's a
great thing because that means we don'thave to go crazy. Yeah, because
(26:10):
he was going to resign, likehe's like so upset about how everything is
changing and he feels obsolete and workingfor a corporate environment that he doesn't trust
is not really worth being in.And I think it's really not fair to
manipulate him into state. That wasan interesting thing Garrett did and said because
at the end he said this andit kind of affected what him and Jonah
(26:33):
were talking about earlier. Yeah,Oh yes, that's what all else was
happening. Was Jonah brought up somelike some conflicts that he had had with
Garrett when they lived together, andGarrett just didn't have any memory of them.
I mean, I remember watching Dunewith Randy, but you were there.
No. No, That's why Iwas so pissed. Remember and then
and then to get you back,I made six brandzinos and stunk up the
(26:56):
place. That's why you did that. I thought you were just pre making
your meals for the work week.You thought I was going to eat a
brand Zeno every day for a week. I don't monitor your fish intake,
and fucking Jonah blows up. Randy'sphone wouldn't respond to him at all.
And Jonah's just fucking crazy honestly,Like he's acting like irrational because it's like,
(27:17):
I don't know, But it's alsoclear that, like so Jonah felt
that it was a big argument,but it sounds like he's very passive aggressive
in the way that he had thatargument that Garrett's probably unaware of it because
he went and like cooked some fishto stink up the house like he thought
you were meal prepping. Bro.Yeah, I think Jonah really has a
(27:38):
lot of issues with passive aggressiveness,and I hope it kind of changes,
Like the way that they kind ofinteract with that, and I think it
will and I love how Garrett kindof handled him, because Garrett's a really
good at that. There was onetime I told you I was going to
make dinner. I went all out, I went to like three different grocery
stores, and then you just textme and told me you were having dinner
with Amy. Totally forgot about it. Oh well, why didn't you say
(28:00):
anything? Because why bring something upjust to make your friend feel bad.
I wish there was more about Garrettand Dina in this episode, though.
Yeah, it didn't really follow upon the their arrangement their three way.
Do you think they will have athree way or have like any sort of
like? Well, no, Ithink they did mention it a little bit
because he didn't fill out the emotionalwell being section of their post coital contract.
(28:26):
Oh and make sure to text thegroup chain when you arrive. Are
we sure that Brian needs to knowthe exact time that we're having sex?
Hey, successful polyamory requires complete constantcommunication. Speaking of I read your post
coital report from last night. Youdidn't fill in emotional state hungry and sleepy.
That's usually where I'm at so theydid it like they they're starting to
do it. But it's just notlike he's not really I don't know,
(28:48):
acknowledging it or he's not really.It feels like Garrett might just be going
through the motions. Yeah, he'ssuppressing. Yeah, and the whole episode
suppressed it. They just made thatone comment about it and then they moved
on. But I hope to seemore about it. Yeah, any other
thoughts? Oh, I really enjoyedMateo's see through legs. That's right,
(29:11):
They're like impressions of each other orsomething. What's happening? Why do you
sound like Nurse Ratchet on the Netflixseries Ratchet? Oh, I'm running this
meeting like Matteo in a very professionalmanner. Mm hmm okay, ha ha
very funny. But you know what, even this is way better than your
usual singles. Cruise director attitude,Chyam put on glasses. Yeah, and
(29:33):
it was starting mact oh bitchy andeveryone loved that. But then when Mateo
try to be Chyam, it didnot work in his favor. No,
he just embarrassed himself. Hey,everyone, did I miss a meeting?
Sorry? I was shotgunning Code Ratswith my party. Best I have a
husband. I don't care if it'sunprofessional. I just want to have fun
and do Molly with unicr. Ohmy god, Matteo, we can see
(29:56):
you're junk. I think men orpeople with penises should totally wear leggings,
but definitely check to make sure youcan't see through that. But I think
it's kind of cool and kind oflike sexy when you can see, like
the dick print. That's why it'ssweatpants are shape. Yeah, that's what
it's called, the dick print.It's on a like sweatpants, Like sweatpants
(30:18):
are known for this, But imagineleggings. Come on, dude, Well
these were just that they were sothin and stretched that you could actually see
through. Well wouldn't you wear underwearthough, Like why wouldn't you wear underwear?
I don't know. And honestly though, if they were that thin and
stretched you could probably hairs were probablypoking out as well, So be careful
(30:41):
out there. Anything else That wasall I wanted to mention was no.
I think that's it for me.The next episode is called Depositions, so
it sounds like we're going back inthe Carol's lawsuit and that'll air on February
twenty fifth, tw twenty one,so there's like a week off. And
then we also got word that thefinale two part finale will be on March
(31:03):
twenty fifth, so it's only likea little over a month. Oh wow,
we'll have a heavenly day. Well, actually, I got a memo.
We're not allowed to say that anymore. I must still say it.

Oh savage,
Zoom. Dating is basically interviewing somebodywhile judging their wal art And I guess
you got to keep your hands inframe right, otherwise the other person is
going to think you're touching yourself.What No, I usually I keep them.
Are people thinking that? Oh?Absolutely? Welcome to Cloud nine,
(00:23):
a Superstar podcast. I'm Jason andI'm BB and we're back talking about two
more episodes of Superstar. We're talkingabout episode eight of season six, which
is called ground Rules, and itaired on February fourth, twenty twenty one.
Written by Jen Vierk and directed byVictor Nelly Junior. Yes, and
if you want to talk to usabout this episode, or any episode or
(00:46):
anything really, you can email us. You can find us on Facebook or
Twitter to shoot us a message.And we were happy to talk about this
show, which is what we're goingto do right now. Yes, ground
Rules. Ground Rules is Tony's firstday work. Tony Bean, Sandra's adopted
son. Yes, who calls hermom a lot? Yeah, like a
lot. I'm mean about roast beefsandwich. Mom. Come on, if
(01:08):
he doesn't need every forty five minutes, he turned into a real grumposaurus.
I like their relationship it's very genuine, and that was like something that happened
immediately, Like when she first adoptedhim, they walked down the store together.
He was like, Mom, stopit. Yeah, I like it.
It's cute, it's funny. Yeah, it's like preposterous like that would
(01:29):
I don't think you should have thatkind of expectation of like a foster child.
No, but Sandra's like a mamabear. Yeah. And Glenn is
giving them a lot of attention becausehe's very excited to have also his former
adopted son. Yeah, like hefeels like he's a big part of this
too. Well, my son aCloud nine employee. We're a dynasty like
(01:53):
Billy Ray and Miley, and hewas my foster child. It's like God's
been engraving this name tag for yousince the day you were born. Did
you just touch my nipper? Oh, I'm sorry. And then they picked
Jonah to be his trainer, andthey have to put things away in the
refrigerated aisle and the freezer aisle,and for me personally, I just think
(02:14):
it's weird that they're not putting thingsor stalking things from the other side of
the freezer wall. Yeah, Ifeel like they just like didn't have that
part of the set. So they'rejust in the front, but that part
of the set shouldn't even look thatfancy or built out like they had the
front end, So like it hasto have a back. There has to
(02:35):
be a back to that. Theremight not be room to shoot back there.
Oh, but there's really not alot of rooms sometimes in those areas,
depending on what a big store shouldhave, usually a lot of them.
They have to have room for Jonahto hit him in the face.
Yeah, there had to be someconflict and yeah, so Tony's not really
serious about the job either. No, he's just a teenage Yeah. It
(03:00):
was so funny when he opened thatbox and all the pizzas wellouse. This
episode was funny. I liked it. There was like a lot of really
funny scenes that are just like physicalcomedy. Yeah, that was one of
the gags. And I think inthis episode there was also one of those
cutaway scenes where the customers are involvedand one of the customers put jewelry in
(03:25):
their mask yep, and that wasjust fucking hilarious because people would One of
the cutaways was just Tony like onthe couch watching was like a whale or
something in a video. Yeah,like Nature documentary. Every time it did
something, he was like shocked.Yeah, and it's nice to see like
(03:47):
somebody doing that because I think they'veshown other employees kind of chilling out on
in that area before. Yeah,so it was nice to kind of see
that part of the scenes. Buthe went there after Jonah hit him in
the face. Yep. So Jonahgets all flustered because what's her name in
the show, Nia? Nia?Nia comes over and is like, we
(04:12):
should talk about that garbage thing orI don't know, they talk politics,
and this teenager is like, oh, she wants it. Whoa. Tony
looks like you got the cool teacher. Yeah, yeah, that's me.
All right, I'm gonna go beforeyou bust out the guitar. I'll see
what lunch, all right, I'llsee you, dude. She wants your
nuts. Sorry, she's totally intoyou. And Jonah starts getting in his
(04:35):
head about it, and then hestarts getting excited about like seeing Nia again.
And one of the things that Garretttells him I think is really funny
where he's like there's women outside ofthis store, you know, like Nia's
just really cool, you know,it's the first time I've actually been kind
of excited about somebody since Amy.But you do know that there are women
(04:56):
outside of the store, right,You shouldn't use your workplace as your personal
tender. You know. That wasso good and I feel like I've been
on that a lot. Yeah.I mean it's funny like within the show,
but it's also almost like a metajoke that shows like this kind of
suffer from, like the only peoplethat the characters meet are like at the
workplace, because we don't spend alot of time out of the store with
(05:19):
them. Mmmmm yeah. So it'spretty good. So that's like a whole
thing. So Garrett's the one tellinghim that, and he's like wrapped up
with Dina. And that's why thisis called ground rules. Yes, because
the last episode, Garrett and Dinahad a moment in the what they call
it the back room, the backsteakhouse, the trough, the trough.
(05:44):
It was something weird. They hada moment and Dina like obviously was aware
of it, and she addressed itdirectly, and she brought it up to
Garrett and he's like, yeah,it's it was just a one time thing.
It doesn't mean anything, and she'slike, cool, I'm gonna go
tell my boyfriend. So I'm justgonna call Brian and tell him everything.
(06:05):
What wait, no, you saidcase closed. The case is closed.
He can't reopen the case. Andhe was shocked that he did that,
that she would do that, whichI don't know, like, would you
expect somebody to share that if itwas like supposed to be that way,
or would you expect them to keepit quiet? I mean, I think
it's important that like they literally didn'tdo anything. It was like there was
(06:29):
clearly a moment, just tension.Yeah, they managed not to act on
it. Yeah, But like soshe shares this with her partner and like
comes back with a different attitude.I guess, like, so, what's
his name? Well, he walksin and Garrett's trying to like hide,
yeah, because he comes in andit looks kind of intimidating. Well,
you can't tell because of the fuckingmask, right. The fact that he
(06:51):
even knew who he was with amask on was shocking to be It's fucking
Brian, I knew it was somethingbasic. So comes in and makes a
beeline to the service center, thecustomer service area, where Garrett works,
and he's trying to keep the securityguard there to like just be present,
(07:12):
right, because he's like, Ineed a buffer because this is going to
be awkward. And it kind ofis, but not in the way Garrett
expects because as soon as Brian showsup, Dina pulls in and they both
break the news that they want Garrettto be their side piece and decided we're
going to have an open relationship.What you're going to be our side piece?
(07:33):
Yeah, well, you know,technically I think he'd just be your
side piece. Well, what's myside piece? Is your side piece?
Shut? And I think that isthe most demeaning way to ask somebody to
join a relationship that's like open.Yeah, to call you a fucking side
piece, like you're a fucking sideof French fries or like, I don't
(07:54):
know, like a chicken meal.It just felt weird. I was like,
this is an appropriate and he wasopen to it. He didn't say
no outright, He heard them out, which I thought was also interesting.
Yeah, I mean he might havejust felt like he was stuck in this
situation. Fair they did corner him. You really thought this out? Yeah?
Sure, he And there's a lotof things for us to go over
(08:15):
with you, but I want tomake sure it's clear I save the girlfriend
stuff for this guy. Get nopoint, did they really take what he
wanted into consideration. There was like, hey, this is what we should
do and it'll be great for youand us. Yeah, they were just
say like, let us use youbecause I'm out of town a lot,
and she obviously has sexual urges andneeds that you can satisfy because you already
(08:37):
know this area. That's like itwas very cut and dry, and the
moment he was just like not intoit was when they threw the teddy bear
on him. Really important to establishsexual boundaries, So we will stick a
thumbs up sticker everywhere you're allowed totouch Dina. Now, the thumbs up
represents a general green light, butin some cases it's so little more literal.
(09:00):
I think that that created a momentof just like pure objectification of both
parties of Dina and Garrett. Andthat was where he had to draw the
line where it's like, I don'tlike this, that's not organic for him.
Yeah. Only when it comes backto what Jonah kind of points out
to him that if he didn't haveany emotions for Dina, then he would
(09:20):
just be into this and that's theworst that he comes back because of that
comment, because of his denial ofemotions. Emotions. Yeah, it's like
toxic masculinity at its peak with Garrett, which is really unfortunate because it would
have been interesting to say, whatwould happen if he said, yeah,
you know what, You're right,I think I do have a lot of
(09:41):
unresolved emotional issues with her and I'dlove to address them. Wouldn't that be
an interesting episode? Well, itis interesting because in this episode in particular,
like right at the top, likeGarrett is just like brutally honest with
Jonah about like how he's feeling,like what happened with Dina, Like he's
just laying it out there, Beanand I almost kissed yesterday. What I
(10:01):
mean, nothing happened. There wasno lip collision, but there was definitely
a swerve to miss situation. Likewe've started seeing this with Gary. I
think it was the start of theseason where he just like plainly tells Jonah
like, hey, like you've beena good friend. I'm glad you're in
my life. Mm hmm. Youkind of seen this other side of him.
But then he backslides yeah, Ifeel like they just need a little
(10:22):
more drama to get to the endof the show. They can do that
without having to erase the progress ofa character, though in my opinion,
I don't know. I've always hadopinions about how the writing could always be
better. Yeah, but I don'tknow, Like one step backwards doesn't erase
several steps forward. But it wouldhave been so good if it was like
an actual, like emotional three wayrelationship, like if it was like a
(10:46):
fully open relationship, because it can'tbe an open relationship when any of the
parties are closed my like lying andhe's he's doing that, and that's just
like, I don't know, it'sdoing a disservice to a lot of the
polyamorous relationships that do exist, inmy opinion, because they could show like
a genuine polyamorous relationship, but nowit's just a fucking plot device instead used
(11:11):
to erase a man's emotions, whichsucks and it shouldn't be that way,
But what do I know? Whatelse happens in this episode Jason Well Seyenne
is in full for supervisor mode,giving out shift assignments, and she's turned
it into quite the spectacle I'm goingto play both of my reverses and send
(11:31):
it back to side. Oh yeah, that's cooled. Side. You're on
bathroom duty unless you want to useyour skipstone, but just remember you won't
get another one until next month.Yeah. They play games like if you
don't want to clean the toilets,you have a little passing stone or something
like that. Yeah. Sings likethere's a whole lot of gimmicks and it's
(11:52):
like a complicated card game almost ofwho's doing what. Yeah, and it
seems to be a lot of funfor everyone. Yeah, everyone's involved in
participating, and they're kind of itlooks like they're even excited to get their
work assignments because it's part of theirlike routine. And in the morning,
like that can be really shitty becauseyou're still, like, you know,
(12:13):
coping with the fact that you haveto show up to a shitty job.
So as this is happening, Mateonotices it and he kind of pops in
with some helpful advice about not lettingElias go into the greeting card section because
he's like in bed. Hey,when you were floor supervisor, did Alias
always ask to work in greeting cards? Yeah? I don't let him.
(12:35):
He reads all the cards out loudand adds words in bed. It literally
never works. Okay, thanks,any other pro tips? Let me know?
Oh really well, happy to help. And that kind of goes straight
to Mateo's head because he has that, you know, superiority complex. Yeah,
she does ask him for advice,and then he lays everything on her.
(12:56):
It gives her too much advice.He doesn't just give advice he can.
I was like on constructive criticism.He starts telling her her clothes or
shitty, she shouldn't use stickers,and her eye makeup is terrible, like
don't wear glitter, and it's justbasically saying stop being chyenne. Yeah,
he's being like critical of her thepersonality that she's bringing to the job,
(13:20):
which is just herself. I lovedwhen she stood up for herself and said,
like I got picked to do thisjob, whereas you just started calling
yourself the floor manager. And Idon't believe that I'm doing it in a
way that's wrong or like unsuccessful.I actually think I'm doing a really good
job. Yeah. The games andstuff are dorky, but they help people
(13:41):
forget that their job sucks for asecond. I'm just saying, you might
want to listen to the cold standardfloor supervisor. You weren't even given the
job. You just started saying thatyou had it. At least I was
like chosen to do this. Ireally loved that she kind of held her
own and was like standing her ground. Yeah she did, and it was
good to see that. It leadsto this beef between them that goes into
(14:03):
the next episode. I did findit interesting. I was never really clear
on Mateo, like as the floorsupervisor, Like how much did he actually
have the job besides putting a pictureof himself on the wall, Like we
never actually saw him doing it.He did, remember when he would assign
everybody to the freezer. You don'tremember when he's like, oh, you
pissed me off, you go backand work the freezer. I don't think
(14:26):
that's when he was the supervisor.I think like Amy or someone like handed
in the clipboard, like take careof this, I gotta do something else.
So he was doing it, andhe like he mentioned, like do
this in the way that an evilqueen would command. And that's the energy
he brought to that role. Whatelse we got? So this episode,
there was this thing with the Niaand Jonah, Jonah thinking that she was
(14:50):
into him because of Tony telling himthat a teen tells you that somebody's into
you, so you just go hama teen who not that long ago,
was asking Garrett a quote buttload ofquestions about love and sex. Mm hmm.
But so Jonah asks Nia about it, and Neo straight up's like,
I'm a lesbian, not even likeletting him explain anything or like getting any
(15:11):
more information in there, and thenshe casually implies that he's a lot older
than her too. No, no, no, no, you were just
being friendly in it, And I'mlike, this had her enormative bowl in
a lesbian china shop. Yeah kindof, But it's not really your fault.
Your generation is a little more rigidabout gender and sexuality. Yeah,
(15:31):
which is funny because like they Ithink Eve and Garrett's like, yeah,
you're ten years older than her,which is disgusting to be honest. If
she's like twenty and he's thirty,that's a little iffy, that's a little
sus bro. It's probably more liketwenty five thirty five. Okay, that's
still yeah. I don't know.The age gap can make a difference.
(15:52):
But if so, with all that, he's no longer allowed to work with
minors, but he's gonna have Chinesewith Garrett with a family, so that's
nice. Yep, And pretty sureGlenn has never had Chinese food before.
Well, he had never had Mexicanfood before. Well, there there is
this Chinese place that I've been wantingto try. Absolutely they have plain white
(16:15):
rice though, right they do.They absolutely fucking Glenn Man. But I
don't know. I still think Jonahreally needs to not date people in the
workplace because in the time that we'veseen these only were like dated people that
work with him. Yeah, Amyand Kelly, And there's that magazine interviewer
(16:37):
or something. Yeah, that latethe lady from the Scrubs University, Glenn's
daughter that he met at the storeone time. Oh my god, I've
got about her. I'm mister RuSHA. I wish they would bring her back
for an episode before it's all over. Yeah, so do you want to
talk about the next episode. Let'smove to the next episode, which is
(17:02):
season six, episode nine, Conspiracy. This aired February eleventh, twenty twenty
one, directed by James Renfro andwritten by Colton Dunn, who is Garrett.
Oh okay, so how does itopen? I forgot were they talking?
Was it? It opens with Mateoand Cheyenne. Yeah, bah,
(17:23):
back and forth, still on theirbeef, talking about Bob is a party
bus husband or something like that.The insults were great person our history.
I went in rush Chyan with protection. I may be a teen mom,
but at least I don't look likesomeone put a Pixar character into a microwave.
(17:44):
Well, you'd be DreamWorks bitch.And then that just like that ended
it. Oh, it was sobad. They were so mean, they
cut so deep, and everybody wasreally into it. It was like one
of those like wrap battles or whatever, you know that meme with that kid
that's like, oh like that.And we kind of come to realize that
(18:10):
they're liking the attention of their fightmore than they're really upset with each other.
It's not as fun without anyone watching, right. I feel like we
could get their attention back if wejust up our game a little. Yeah.
Yeah, they're still kind of bitchytowards each other, but then they
start not getting as much attention becausesaid finally breaks up with his horrible girlfriend
and everybody gives him like so muchattention and support that it bugs them.
(18:36):
Okay, let's get really real aboutCyan. Well it happened. Then it
dumped me. Oh no, really, damn it. I'm so sorry.
You guys were just at the cheesecakefactory like three weeks ago. You look
so happy, guys getting really realabout which was honestly, like pretty sweet
to see, like characters that likedon't really get along that much or just
(18:59):
all there for SAYI. Yeah,because I remember when Sayid and Justine just
had they also have had their beef, so you didn't see it coming at
all. No, I always expectedher to kill me, not to break
up with me. Well, ifyou ever need a quick pick me up
or whatever, you have my number. Yes, you've been very clear.
Thanks. But it was nice tosee them like being supportive and like letting
(19:19):
something that is obviously more important thantwo petty arguments like on the side,
Like, I think that they wereright in the way that they spent their
attention. Yeah, for sure.But then with that, Mateo and Cheyenne
start to get closer, even thoughthey're still making digs at each other,
they start to work together and reallycollaborate again. Which I think reignites the
(19:44):
real friendship. Yeah, and it'skind of funny the way they're still fighting
but going to do things together becauseno one else is interested in right,
they're bullshit right, And eventually Matteodoes apologize, which is nice because he
does oh chyan apology. He refusedto at first, like he and he
like was like, when are yougoing to apologize to me? Because I'm
(20:06):
leaving soon? My boyfriend's picking meup, So TikTok, are you being
serious you expect me to apologize toyou. I have nothing to be sorry
about. I was giving you amazingadvice and you mocked me and made me
show my penis to the world.The only reason that you were giving me
advice was so that you could reliveyour glory day. So it was cool
to see them in their dynamic.Yeah. Oh and then this episode was
(20:30):
the conspiracy one, so yeah,Glenn, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner.
But Glenn Uh falls down a rabbithole of like Zephyra being mind controlling
five G producing technology like cult yeap, and it all started because he's not
(20:55):
allowed to say have a heavenly dayto people which is like one of the
only reasons that he like justified workingfor an evil corporation like Cloud Nine,
because, let's be honest, theyhad a killer clown because their mascot.
So he also seems to think thatnot saying how the heavenly day is like
(21:18):
saying the opposite. Zephyr was askingthat we no longer use the term heavenly
day. What, Yeah, therewas a memo they feel it's a little
loaded. Yeah. Yeah, it'sloaded with kindness. It's the same thing
as saying have a nice day orhave a good day. Great, then
say one of those instead to thecustomers. I might as well give him
the middle finger. Yeah, ifyou don't tell people, it's like I've
(21:38):
worked this, okay, So Iunderstand how I work in the Midwest,
and I understand how people get soupset when they're not allowed to say bless
you or be blessed as an endingor not like a goodbye or God bless
you. That's yeah, it's likeI did not sneeze, what but yeah,
(22:02):
it's it is totally weird. Itwas funny how Jonah said some people
don't believe in heaven, and itwas just dead quiet. I don't think
could even process. It was sogood because I was like, oh,
he's gonna say something, right,like he's gonna say something, but then
he didn't even say anything, andthat made it even better. But I
(22:26):
do see that as an equivalent tolike people who were really hardcore about saying
like God bless you as their likesign off, or because I used to
say good luck, which is sofucking week. It's kind of shitty to
say that to people, I thinkin hindsight, because I worked at a
hardware store and you know, peoplewere getting glue or nails or whatever it
(22:48):
may be. They were doing theirDIY projects and I'm like, good luck.
It could be it's like I genuinelyhope you have good luck in this
endeavor, or it could be likeyou're not gonna get it, you're gonna
need it. But yeah, Soit was interesting that that was like what
(23:10):
drove him down this conspiracy rabbit hole. And I was surprised that Sandra and
Marcus were in on this weird conspiracytheory line. I don't dress that for
either. I've learned some stuff.You're ready to wake up? Well I
am awake, not yet. Imean, Marcus doesn't surprise me that much.
No, but Sandra and Marcus together, like when she's like, Marcus,
(23:33):
tell him what you told me.It's all true and there's videos to
prove it. Just google Zephyra mindcontrol guy goes nuts at Red Lobster,
Like I would think that she wouldknow better when she hears things coming out
of Marcus's mouse, But I kindof I think it shows like how conspiracy
theories can affect anybody. Yeah,didn't take long on the internet for going
(23:56):
to like fall down that rabbit hole. Nope. It started doing some research
and I came across this article thetruth about Zephyra. I think there's a
fishy business going on. Oh.I love how they he started talking about
it and they're like, Okay,we got to cut your screen time,
buddy. And when they started talkingabout conspiracy theories, like Dona wanted to
(24:18):
like just stop talking about it.Yeah, and Jonah's like, let me
play Devil's EDWI cute and nobody likesthat guy. Now hang on because often
these ideas become stronger when people feelshamed or marginalized. All right, let's
talk this out. Why do wethink Zephyr controls mine. As soon as
he said that, I think Iheard Garrett say, oh, here we
go, and they went there like. It didn't take very long before they
(24:45):
started having flat earth or theorists comingout. Yep, Cody's right. They
could have easily doctored the moon landingfootage, just like they show us photos
where the Earth looks around when it'sdefinitely flat, and we got there.
You're right, Jonah. This isso much better than shutting it down.
But it was so funny when fuckingJonah was like, no, the Earth
is a flat. When you sitout in the docks and you watch the
(25:07):
ships go and they disappear, you'vedone it. Put on your little pea
coat and stood on a dop forhours until ships disappeared. We know that
Jonah wears a little pea coat andhe would not sit out there and watch
those boats for hours. And Idon't know that she was like advocating for
the flat earth. I think shewas just calling Jonah out. I'm like,
(25:27):
you've never done that. Yeah,you need to shut the fuck up
if you don't know nothing about like, but me use a different example,
friend. But that's funny. Idon't know. I thought it was a
good a good conversation that you wouldnot want to have at work, but
that happens at work anything else.And that's all I really wrote down for
this episode. At the end,they go ahead and tell Glenn that he
(25:48):
can say heavenly day. Turns outthat corporate got Glenn's email after all,
and it totally changed their minds itdid you know what I saw that memo?
Too? Good job, Glenn.I keep refreshing, but there's nothing.
What time was it sent? Don'tknow, Dina. But what I
do know is we can say havea heavenly day now. And that's a
great thing because that means we don'thave to go crazy. Yeah, because
(26:10):
he was going to resign, likehe's like so upset about how everything is
changing and he feels obsolete and workingfor a corporate environment that he doesn't trust
is not really worth being in.And I think it's really not fair to
manipulate him into state. That wasan interesting thing Garrett did and said because
at the end he said this andit kind of affected what him and Jonah
(26:33):
were talking about earlier. Yeah,Oh yes, that's what all else was
happening. Was Jonah brought up somelike some conflicts that he had had with
Garrett when they lived together, andGarrett just didn't have any memory of them.
I mean, I remember watching Dunewith Randy, but you were there.
No. No, That's why Iwas so pissed. Remember and then
and then to get you back,I made six brandzinos and stunk up the
(26:56):
place. That's why you did that. I thought you were just pre making
your meals for the work week.You thought I was going to eat a
brand Zeno every day for a week. I don't monitor your fish intake,
and fucking Jonah blows up. Randy'sphone wouldn't respond to him at all.
And Jonah's just fucking crazy honestly,Like he's acting like irrational because it's like,
(27:17):
I don't know, But it's alsoclear that, like so Jonah felt
that it was a big argument,but it sounds like he's very passive aggressive
in the way that he had thatargument that Garrett's probably unaware of it because
he went and like cooked some fishto stink up the house like he thought
you were meal prepping. Bro.Yeah, I think Jonah really has a
(27:38):
lot of issues with passive aggressiveness,and I hope it kind of changes,
Like the way that they kind ofinteract with that, and I think it
will and I love how Garrett kindof handled him, because Garrett's a really
good at that. There was onetime I told you I was going to
make dinner. I went all out, I went to like three different grocery
stores, and then you just textme and told me you were having dinner
with Amy. Totally forgot about it. Oh well, why didn't you say
(28:00):
anything? Because why bring something upjust to make your friend feel bad.
I wish there was more about Garrettand Dina in this episode, though.
Yeah, it didn't really follow upon the their arrangement their three way.
Do you think they will have athree way or have like any sort of
like? Well, no, Ithink they did mention it a little bit
because he didn't fill out the emotionalwell being section of their post coital contract.
(28:26):
Oh and make sure to text thegroup chain when you arrive. Are
we sure that Brian needs to knowthe exact time that we're having sex?
Hey, successful polyamory requires complete constantcommunication. Speaking of I read your post
coital report from last night. Youdidn't fill in emotional state hungry and sleepy.
That's usually where I'm at so theydid it like they they're starting to
do it. But it's just notlike he's not really I don't know,
(28:48):
acknowledging it or he's not really.It feels like Garrett might just be going
through the motions. Yeah, he'ssuppressing. Yeah, and the whole episode
suppressed it. They just made thatone comment about it and then they moved
on. But I hope to seemore about it. Yeah, any other
thoughts? Oh, I really enjoyedMateo's see through legs. That's right,
(29:11):
They're like impressions of each other orsomething. What's happening? Why do you
sound like Nurse Ratchet on the Netflixseries Ratchet? Oh, I'm running this
meeting like Matteo in a very professionalmanner. Mm hmm okay, ha ha
very funny. But you know what, even this is way better than your
usual singles. Cruise director attitude,Chyam put on glasses. Yeah, and
(29:33):
it was starting mact oh bitchy andeveryone loved that. But then when Mateo
try to be Chyam, it didnot work in his favor. No,
he just embarrassed himself. Hey,everyone, did I miss a meeting?
Sorry? I was shotgunning Code Ratswith my party. Best I have a
husband. I don't care if it'sunprofessional. I just want to have fun
and do Molly with unicr. Ohmy god, Matteo, we can see
(29:56):
you're junk. I think men orpeople with penises should totally wear leggings,
but definitely check to make sure youcan't see through that. But I think
it's kind of cool and kind oflike sexy when you can see, like
the dick print. That's why it'ssweatpants are shape. Yeah, that's what
it's called, the dick print.It's on a like sweatpants, Like sweatpants
(30:18):
are known for this, But imagineleggings. Come on, dude, Well
these were just that they were sothin and stretched that you could actually see
through. Well wouldn't you wear underwearthough, Like why wouldn't you wear underwear?
I don't know. And honestly though, if they were that thin and
stretched you could probably hairs were probablypoking out as well, So be careful
(30:41):
out there. Anything else That wasall I wanted to mention was no.
I think that's it for me.The next episode is called Depositions, so
it sounds like we're going back inthe Carol's lawsuit and that'll air on February
twenty fifth, tw twenty one,so there's like a week off. And
then we also got word that thefinale two part finale will be on March
(31:03):
twenty fifth, so it's only likea little over a month. Oh wow,
we'll have a heavenly day. Well, actually, I got a memo.
We're not allowed to say that anymore. I must still say it.
