Brian and James Fuck Each Other - Episode 139 : Black Succession Season 3

Episode Date: December 12, 2021

We are members of the Black Panther party.

miss universe you know we've had this before if you leave the screen on yeah i'll get distracted and i'll start talking about it even though the people listening can't see what i'm talking about i won't turn off now i'll i'll turn it off hang on yeah well i don't want to make you do to work but i'm going to make you to work perfect yeah yeah it's off grand he was trying to sabotage me there we were chatting to paul marsh there he pulled me up in something he said i can be quite agist sometimes he did say that to yeah yeah yeah picked up in the um i mean Of all the things I am... I remember saying that to him, I was like,

You're right, Paul. That's the only problematic thing about this podcast is our ageism. I mean, I guess, I don't know, because I'm a bit older than you. You're what, 26? 26, yeah. Not for much longer, though.

I'm 32. Wait, when do you turn to 27? March. March. Yeah, yeah. Going to be the 27 club, man. Yeah, man. That does, like...

I remember a friend of mine a while ago, like a few years ago, was like, oh, I'm 27 now, and it was this big. kind of existential thing, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What did Kirk do? What have I done?

Oh, shut off. I'm not wine house. No, yeah. You're just a smelly drunk. That's all you are. He's a successful man. That was his big thing. He's like, oh, they're all wild and crazy.

I've got a job and a girlfriend with big tits. Yeah, a 401k, six figures. But what is it without the rock and roll lifestyle? Where's my Brit Award? Yeah, yeah. Aren't you in the script? Ah, yeah, but I don't count that. We suck.

But, yeah, your age is... Now, I personally have never picked up on it, but I guess you would go, like, oh, he's some old fella, he's like 50. Yeah, Mars still, I said that a few times. Yeah, a few times. I guess to you, like, 26, a 50-year-old man would be old. I don't think that, though.

Okay. I've said, like... Well, clearly you do, Brian, because there's... I'm actually very bad. There's an audio record of you saying this. I'm actually very bad at telling what people's ages are. Yeah. really bad. Ages, races,

you know, you're like, what's going on there? Yeah. Anytime you meet a new person, it's like scatigories, you know, you're Oh, what are you some 53-year-old Mexican? It's like, no, I'm your younger cousin from Carlo. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know.

Your ageism, I've never really picked up on. I'm like, where age of you, 14? Oh, disgusting, old man. You old dog. You're almost as old as Paul. I wouldn't actually Paul, I wouldn't know what age he is but like he's like, obviously like he's fighting fires like I wouldn't consider him

an old man or anything to that. No, no, of course not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, good. He's made you rethink your biased bigotry. Yeah, yeah. Now anyway, the Jews. It's like that film, you know, watermelon man. Hey, oh, well

this has potential. No, Brian wants a watermelon man. Please enlighten me. I think about it. Would you believe, I've never heard of watermelon man. I think he's about an old man or some other type of man. Yeah.

Was this like a Stanley comic book character that never really got traction? You know? After, he was like, we need a new member of the Avengers. Yeah, yeah, watermelon man. He's gone on the third and the 15th of every month for some reason. That's a welfare joke. I didn't get that. No, yeah, yeah.

You know? But, look, watermelon man. It's an interesting story now. Okay. It was a film, I think, written and directed by Melvin Van Peebles. Have you heard of Mario Van Peebles? I've heard of Mario Van Peebles. So Mario Van Peebles is the son of Melvin Van Peebles.

Okay. Okay. So he did a watermelon man and he was a successful actor and stuff back in like the 70s, stuff like that. Yeah. I'm just looking up now and check my facts. So he did War Mellon Man. I think the studio wants him do like other shit. And he was like, no, I'm going to do an independent film.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was some film called like Badass. But it had like six S's. Oh, okay. Like Joey badass. Exactly, yeah, yeah. So let me just look, Melvin. So he did it.

And I tried to watch it now. It's very well regarded now. What is? Watermelon Man. No, not Watermelon Man. War Melon Man was a dumb comedy where a white man turns black. Like the jerk? Yeah, but it's like a magical thing.

It's kind of like... Did Steve Martin plagiarized the jerk? He plagiarized Watermelon Man. The jerk was a white man who thinks he's black. black. That's right. This is like a magical thing. Kind of like the movie Liar Liar. Oh or yeah, okay, yeah. Or like

shallow hal. Right. There's sort of a magic realism thing. Yeah, yeah. I think he turned, I haven't never seen this one, okay, but I think he turns black and learns a lesson. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Melvin Van Peoples is black though, right? He is, yeah, yeah. Okay. He is black.

So then he did that and he had a bit of money, a bit of cloud. So he did. Here's this thing. It's called Sweet Sweet Backs Badass Song. Okay. And it's about, uh, like, it's kind of like an exploitation movie about a badass black guy. I think like he, he beats up the cops and stuff like that. Like black exploitation.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He, it's all about like a black guy. He's got like a massive cock and he fucks loads of women. Sweet. It's full on like kind of like, uh, a black, kind of like, uh, a black, uh, like a hero fantasy kind of thing. Yeah, right, okay, yeah, yeah. So he's just like this super badass big dick dude going around, piping women and beating up cops with his big cock.

And the cops are like, oh, we're too scared to arrest him. I thought I've seen it all with watermelon man, but this is way more insidious. I watched the start of it. It made me a bit uncomfortable, to be honest, because it's, um, the start of it is like, kind of like prior. It's like, uh, sweetback grows up in a brothel. Okay.

And his, he's like 12. but his cock is so massive already that all the horrors want to fuck him and they show a scene of like a little black boy fucking like a black prostitute and you kind of see his ass he's going up and down Oh what?

Yeah yeah and that was like a bit too much for me but apparently as the film goes on there's he didn't have enough time to like figure out how to film like unsimulated sex scenes Oh so he just filmed real sex scenes What the fuck? Yeah yeah Jesus real James Franco shit here

but like in a good way like consensually on like yeah yeah sure Brian yeah in the 70s yeah yeah no no no no one complained about him it was an interesting story so um

they were like filming about permits a lot and stuff like that they were filming in bars with like real hell's angels and shit right right and like the hell's angels weren't like you know too happy

because he was like you know he's like in real life fucking a white girl in front of him they're like hey please sir yeah mr van Peebles I have some notes if you'll permit me

So the Black Panthers love the film Okay They loved it in fact I think at one stage you're like If you want to Join the Black Panthers It's required to watch Sweetback

Oh wow That's awesome Part of your initiation Yeah Oh and this is interesting It's a bit conflicted now Okay Van Peebles was given

And you wouldn't expect at all. Van Peeples is given a $50,000 loan by Bill Cosby to complete the film. Well, Miss Van Peeples, I think, is very good to see the people who get the penis and the little boy fucking the whore. Yeah, that's good, no. That's good. Fair play to Cosby. Yeah, yeah. Oh, don't take that out of context. Like, they didn't, like, alert, I mean, so, like, let's say to the scene where, like, a car goes in fire. I betcha Cosby was like, I'll give you the 50 grand. but only if the sex scenes are not simulated. Yeah, that was it.

I think we can come to an arrangement, Ms. Kirkazby. Well, he was serious when he was like, the women are awake. This completely goes against everything I stand for. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, the reason I know about this, okay? Yeah. I'd be mean to watch this.

I mentioned last week I was looking into Oliver Stone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So Oliver Stone... And then it's like, that's too white. Now I got to sex it up. Somehow got to Oliver Stone to, like. Like, okay, well, if there's a black cock involved. But there's a child?

Ooh. I like Wall Street, but there's something missing. But yeah, so the reason I know about this is, so Mario Van Peebles, the son, directed a biographical film about his father where he played his father. Oh, okay. And it was produced by Oliver Stone. Oh, okay. What's that called? I think that's just called, so the original film's called Sweet, Sweet Backs Badass Song.

Right, right. This is just called like badass. Right, okay, right, okay. That's cool, though. Kind of like a honey boy situation. Exactly, yeah. Again, without the modern connotations, yada, yada, yeah. Sure, sure.

What's her name? F-A-T-A-Twis. It's very hard to say, not say F-A-G. Especially for you, because you're dyslexic and homophobic, so it's a, that's a minefield. All the old gays. we haven't seen the film apparently it was a big critical success but commercially for some reason middle america did not want to watch sure they weren't interested in the making of the making all the film never heard of

yeah yeah fair enough so like i mean so what the original like the badass movie was like the 70s and then the biopic was what like the 90s 2000 like 3 oh okay right right yeah around the iraq war oh of course that's why they were distracted yeah yeah yeah Yeah, I've never heard about any of that. No, that's very interesting. Yeah, I'm going to have a bit. This Christmas now is going to be a black Christmas. Yes.

Well, you were here last night. You were watching like trailers for like Who's Your Caddy. Yeah. The Honeymooners remake with Cedric the entertainer. You're watching some Medea clips too. You're really, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in a real black mood in a good way. I like this new, this new chapter of your life you're entering into.

You see that on. stage now and I'm on stage, I got a bit more like flavor. Yeah, yeah, you're kind of rocking a Yankees hat, but somebody stole it. Yeah, someone stole it. Like, he's got too much flavor. Probably the government is like, we cannot allow this to go ahead. Some Mets fan. Yeah, yeah. The hat

was the warning next time it's you that disappears without a trace. You didn't find that hat in the end, no? I didn't really look for it too much. Some caught definitely stole it off you. It was an old Manky, Yankee hat like that just like, I think I found it Like, like, probably, you know what I probably found it, in a pub somewhere.

So that's a circle of life in the way. Ah, yes. The pub giveth and the pub taketh away. Some lucky little boy will find that hat and then he'll get some stank. Yeah, yeah. Some flavour. But, yeah, I'm going to watch over Christmas, so some serious black films like that. And I'm going to watch the Medea movies.

Yes. I think there's like 30 Medea movies now. There is like an insane amount of Medea movies, yeah. For anyone that doesn't know, which I don't even. even know why you're listening to this podcast. If you ain't fucking with Medea, get out of my life. But Medea is this character by Tyler Perry.

So, you know, like Mrs. Brown's boys? Well, Medea's the real McCoy. Yeah. So it's like a big mama's house thing, but there's like 30 different movies. Yeah. And it's by a guy, what's his name?

Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry. And he plays a couple different roles in the movie. He plays like old man, a woman. And he's just having fun. Teach people about Jesus and stuff. making serious bank doing it like insane bank yeah he is he's a multi-millionaire he's probably close to a billionaire at this stage and all the movies are kind of like dog shit yeah i'm just like the

plots are real kind of basic where like it's a lot of like farting and like uh you know some white kids doing something medea hits them yeah there's a lot of like a violent abuse is like i'm a smack you upside your head which but there'll always be like a serious thing where like one of medea is like Medea's never directly related it's always like oh Medea is here Medea just kind of

crashes into a family's life Oh really? Yeah yeah So she's just some big fat annoying woman Who's going around slapping children Yeah And she's not even related to

So a basic plot of a movie Be like she's walking along You know being Medea And she sees some lady getting slapped Yeah And she's like Oh oh oh oh And then she teaches the woman

That like if you love Jesus You won't get slapped Jesus Jesus never slaps a bit Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they... He turns the other cheek. And then they have some fun,

then they'd be like a big set piece to end or like, let's say it's like they go to the fair. I was literally just thinking the county fair. Oh my God. That's so weird. Yeah, okay. You go ahead then. Okay, I'm past the Baltie.

I'm pippin. All right, okay, you're pippin. All right. So I'm gonna... I'm Dennis Rodman. I'm in a dress. Okay, county fair and there's like a hot dog eating contest.

But Medea's like, this takes me back to a... when I used to hang around with bad ass song man Watermelon man It's like Van Peebles It's a watermelon eating contest No no no I better give the ball back

I'm blowing it here This is a succession episode Is it? Yeah it is Oh okay Right This is like this is the free one That is so funny

No This is going to be advertising a succession they're like where's Kieran Culkin what's going on where's cousin Greg Logan loved watermelon man

fuck off I'm watching watermelon man fuck off Pinky Pinky let's watch my dear Pinky you whore You hoar

Oh yeah So they go to the county fair And I was thinking like It'd be something really dumb Like let's say there's like um you have to guess the weight of like a pig right yeah all right but when the pig gets loose and like uh well it like falls on top of the guy and his head goes up the pig's ass the guy who was like beating his wife the abusive guy yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and like his head

goes up the the pig's ass and the pig is like a uh reaction sure and then uh only in the county fair huh the medea starts dancing okay yeah the end yeah nice Well, they're not good movies from what I hear They're sort of renowned for how bad they are Well, who's your caddy'd be fun Yeah, who's your caddy What has that got like a 2.3 on IMDB? Yeah, it's not a classic

But Bill Clinton says it's his favorite movie Of All Time Yeah, he loves it I don't think he likes it for the right reasons, Brian There's a lot of, um, well how would you say now Some Black Excellence When it comes to tits, if you know what I mean Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

some sexy mammas in that film, I think, Bill. Well, that is, like, you know, very common enough rumor that Bill is fond of the... The dark chocolate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's good. There's a lot of babies around Arkansas. There was a lot of burnt pizza on the Epstein plane,

a lot of burnt hot dogs, eh? Oh, actually, I need to double-check this, but I heard something interesting. So, you know, the way the Gislay and Glein Maxwell, Mrs. Maxwell's trial, okay? Medea Maxwell I never touch those little kids in the booty hole God damn

Okay yeah Gillian Maxwell's trial I worry sometimes we get too excited And the energy is too high So let's just Oh okay Okay So you were telling me that like

Jay Z and Beyonce got called in It's weird there was kind of like No again I think it's a legit thing But there was just like an art or like a list of names. It was kind of like a little declassified document

and just had a list of names of like famous people and the word defendant beside it. No, I don't know if that means like they're being like interviewed or something but yeah, Jay Z, Beyonce, Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein.

Like, you know, a lot of names you'd expect to see. So you saw that list, okay? I saw that list, yeah. Now, I have heard that that's actually the people defending her have leaked all that because what they want is to talk

talk about anyone else but Maxwell. Right, okay. And they would love it if they got like anyone big. If they got Jay-Z called, they'd love it because then the story becomes Jay-Z and Beyonce. Yeah, and how Beyonce controlled Maxwell. And another aspect of it as well

is the more bigger names that you pull into it and the bigger the names are, then the more incentive there is, is like, let's just try and make this all go away because there's too much, like it's it's a too big to fail situations

like we can't have the entire like JZ, Beyonce fucking like you know mega infrastructure or what like their big company or whatever what's the word

like they're like media cabal yeah yeah evil the JZ and Beyonce watermelon empire cannot crumble steady on

sorry yeah yeah that's a watermelon man oh no oh okay are you gonna have to cut that art no

I'm just thinking, I'm super cool now when I watch that sweet sweet back the fully I'll basically be like a Black Panther member then That's pretty cool

Yeah, yeah I'll know the struggle But yeah So the Glenn Maxwell trial Is going on right now I'm going to start listening to There's a podcast I'll tell me about

called True and on True and on Yeah Apparently they're covering the trial They're literally in the courthouse Okay They're sitting there

Wow Yeah How did they get in there I don't know how it's weird like it's weird like it's like them and then like fucking like the mirror you know and then like the Washington Post and the New York Times yeah yeah yeah and the fucking the indole they're easy to spot because they're wearing they got like a foam finger and that plastic hat with the beer can on each side and then you just hear but they're giving

some very interesting insights they're on chapel recently they were talking about this now true and on that's a podcast obviously it's a play on cue and Yeah, yeah. Where, were they, is that a piss take or were they, were they believers of Q&A? Okay, okay, cool. In fact, that's this dumb question. Well, I don't know.

I'm never, I'm joking, I'm joking. You don't get my joke sometimes. No, I don't. Yeah, it's a real, I'm like a real Joe Rogan. What's that I'm trying to say, man? Yeah, no, I'm sorry, you're right. I'm an idiot. But there gives some interesting insights where like, apparently the defense are a bit,

they're a bit confused because they're kind of like, uh kind of like when guys get like me too and they're like oh believe all women but not these women okay yeah they're kind of giving mixed signals they're like okay these women were okay obviously they're victims we're also lying hoars the duality of man you know yeah they said that uh maxwell's kind of like you know basically rolling her eyes during the whole thing yeah yeah yeah yeah she's not really like you know even like the fake tears no she's just again because she's she's kind of expecting, look, there's no way I'm actually going to, you know, take

the fall here and do big time because I've got the receipts, I've got so many names I could implicate, it's just not going to happen. I would see, I think the other way, I think she's been completely abandoned by everyone. But the thing is like, oh, if you get

jail time, you're lucky. Yeah, but like here's the thing. That's your reward there is you just get jail time and you don't get like, you know, the wall doesn't blow up and like people don't take you away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, see, the thing is, like, way more than Epstein, her, like, sort of affiliation to the Mossad, because her father, Robert Maxwell, big media mogul in the 70s, he, was a 100% verified, like, intelligence asset, worked at Massad, was given

an Israeli state funeral. And you will? She is linked up there. He was at one stage publishing the beano. What? Yeah. Not my precious bino. Not the bash street. kid. You own Nasher. Yeah. Yeah, I believe he owned Thompson, I think, publishing. Okay. And they were publishing the Bino and the Dandy

stuff like the... And the Dandy! Oh my God! Working together, yeah. There are no heroes left. Yeah, it's like kind of like, you know that they say like Republicans and Democrats, that bipartisan thing is a facade. It's not real. It's the same puppet master.

That's how I always felt about the Dandy and the Bino is like, you people, you're all sheep. You're choosing one. or the other they're two heads of the same snake I don't vote don't vote

because of Desper Dan I'm the real menace yeah the English Dennis the menace was way better than the American one

yeah yeah the American one was just like an idiot it was like trying to help but the English one was cool oh Mr Wilson

I tried to wash your teeth but I used the hydrogen peroxide yeah whereas It was like the English one was like

legit trying to fuck shit off, you know? He was like gay bashing and shit. You bloody, come on Nasha, let's get these poofs. But yeah, the Maxwell thing, it's an ongoing trial right now. The Jussie Smollett trial just ended. He got convicted, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think they've decided how much time he's going to get

or what the punishment will be yet, but I don't think anyone's surprised by that. Is he really going to do time over it though? because all he did was kind of just like make up a bullshit story he wasted police time it's like a minor felony you know what I mean I don't think to be honest I don't think he deserves jail time over I think it's more the cover up that's gonna fuck him up like okay I think he was lying under oath and shit like

okay again like per-wasting police time yeah perjury you could actually serve a couple of months for perjury yeah that's true interesting all right don't think he's really got much of a career no no those mighty ducks residuals dried up long ago him and amelio were both like goldbergs out in the street sucking dick for meth yeah fucking uh his sister's still acting that must be very weird who jussie smollett yeah yeah think her name all starts with jay oh i think his name's like jesse and jessie yeah she's

good though she's good actress but it's somewhat weird to be like oh smallette i've heard that name before oh yeah where what is she in or what would i know her from oh i don't think it's because you don't watch the things i watch that's true yeah you're right i kind of um watch the grown-up movie oh yeah of course yeah birds of prey that's the harley quinn movie yeah yeah and uh she's in other things she's in a few things that are coming up now that should be big enough but like what an albatross oh that's a fancy word yeah yeah i don't even know what it is really It's a song by Fleetwood Mac, idiot. The type of duck.

But, yeah, I didn't realize he had a sister. I imagine she's trying to, like, distance herself from her. Yeah, kind of like a Dave, Franco, James Franco thing. Speaking of powerful, rich siblings. Yes, actually great. Watermelon man. I do legitimately feel bad about that watermelon empire joke, but I'm grooving. I'm also quite hungover.

I mean like people Especially me Yeah You know how much basketball I watch for free And I don't pay him That's your reparations Yeah I made a choice there

Give them more money Should I spend on No no no We did know I'm Like I'm It's fine I'm part of the problem

But anyway Look fuck it Let's get into succession Succession Okay Yes white show the widest show possible

so yeah if you're listening to podcast and you don't watch Succession then I know turn off now but you might enjoy it but go watch all of Succession and come back and you really should it is you're kind of like is it worth the hype it sounds kind of boring I trust you

trust me it is worth the hype it's great it's great it's one of those very rare shows that is like commercial and critically successful Yes And it deserves it Absolutely Yeah

There's a lot of shows Like They might be those two things You watch as like It's not that good lads Yeah Yeah It's good

Something weird happened here It's kind of like I mean The last one That I can think of Was probably breaking bad You know Yeah

Or Game of Thrones Something like that Yeah Game of Thrones Though I don't know Definitely was never As critically hailed Was it

I don't know Oh it was Yeah I think the ending Kind of made everyone Yeah That last season Really soured

The fucking Yeah Yeah Man, it's, there'll be a great book published about that a few years from now, probably. But from what I've heard, it sounds mental that those two guys who met in Trinity, by the way. Really? They're Trinity cuds. Are you serious?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's another reason why I don't like them over there. They're American, though, right? My God. Yeah, so they came to Trinity as like, hey, you know what I've been thinking about lately? Just like a shitty, smelly, medieval type country where everyone was. one's incestuous and smelly. I don't know why that's been rattling around as I live here in Dublin.

I was going to say, like, I went to Ireland and I was like, incest, that's it, yeah. Incest and murder. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, so they, we'll get to succession in a minute, like, but HPO are like, please, we'll give you so much money. Please make, do more of the show and you're like, nah, we're going to end it now. Yeah. I was bored of this shit now. Yeah, and they want to do the new Star Wars, right?

Which they didn't do in the end. That fell true as well. Yeah, good. I think in the end they directed the Leslie Jones stand-up special. Are you serious? Yeah. Wow. So, what a jump.

My God. Now they're out in the street. Yeah. I mean, like oh, yeah, you're right. There's just such a there's like a, you know, HBO TV movie to be made there. It's like, the entire world is

watching. Everyone loves your show. Everyone is so excited for it. and then you just managed to piss off everyone like universally hated and viscerally hated almost immediately. Nearly everything there'll be like one guy who's like you know contrarian's like I actually know

if you study it and if you're smart like me it's actually good but they're all like nah nah pal it was shit yeah there must be a lot of bad blood over there I really hope that doesn't happen to succession but anyway it's almost like when someone fucks up so bad

you're like, look, I can fuck up, well, at least I'm not like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, true. It's like in work. I think I was telling you for, like, someone really messed up. Yeah. And someone, like,

signed a thing that should have been signed. And it's like, look, no matter how bad I am, I'm not going to commit fraud. So I'm thinking I'm okay. I think season eight of Game of Thrones is the new Godfather 3. You know how that was like the punchline

for a long time? Yeah. It's like, oh, this is almost as bad as Godfather 3. But anyway. Anyway, succession. A good show. A good show. Yes.

So Succession Season Season... Use your words. Succession Season 3 is almost over. Yes. We're recording this on a Friday. Yeah. The final episode will be out. Sunday night, Monday morning.

Yeah, yeah. So we're going to go through what happened on Season 3 so far. Okay, good. I kind of get like a reminder, a crash course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because even though it's been nine episodes. Yeah. It's been eight episodes, nine episodes altogether.

A lot has happened more than I thought. A lot, yeah, yeah. They've kind of like gone through a few different storylines and they've dropped some things, but they'll probably come back. What do you think of a season three so far? I'm loving it personally. I am really enjoying it. You know, there's always that thing when you're watching the newest season of a show you really like. You sort of have, you kind of have your skeptic hat on.

You're kind of like, well, this is... I always get that fear. what I mean? Like, you know, I was like, oh, has there been a decline in quality? There were a couple of times where I was like, God, that's a bit kind of out there. But then overall, I'm like, but no, I'm actually really enjoying it. Like, like, when Kendall played Rape Me by Nirvana, I was like, is that a bit silly? But then even as I was watching, I was like, no, it's fucking awesome.

But Kendall would think that's awesome as well. Exactly. No, that's why it works, because it is kind of cringy, but so is he. he's a cringy gaunt like he is very cringe yeah yeah as we realize because I think the problems

some people don't like season three okay are not hate it okay just like they have problems with and I think there's a lot of people out there who watch this

someone made this point that this is peep show okay but people watch it and think it's breaking bad okay right I think they're expecting

like you know season two ending that kind of like really big like holy shit moment yeah I think some people were like oh Kenna's gonna fuck up Logan now

oh he's going to hide a bomb under Kendall's wheelchair oh it's going to be sick man it's going to be action packed yeah yeah yeah and it's like no in reality this is exactly what happened that's what's so good about Kendall as a character like overall

he's a cringy fucking dork but every once in a while he does something really cool and clever and gets a real fuck you to his dad but at the end of the day like that his Logan Roy is the patriarch. He's been controlling this empire for decades. He knows the game

inside and out and can do it in his sleep. Fucking Kendall's just a little rich kid who had Everson handed to him. There's no way to compete. You know what I mean? Also, Kendall has like a psychological need to like be liked and be loved.

Yeah. Let's go into the first episode. Is it a degenerate fucking drug addict? You hear that? If you do drugs like Kendall, you're mental and spastic weird especially weed yeah yeah the devil's lettuce

so like the first episode I've just covered in shit here where did all this come from yeah what have you done yourself I don't know I've always covered in like various stains that I can't identify

yeah I can't look look I've got a few stains here I eat a big burrito this morning so yeah I kind of vomited all over myself last night oh yeah what happened there I don't know

I got home we had some food here and then I went to bed and then I went to bed and then was just got up and just puked it all up and then fell asleep you don't you pretty rock and roll

you vomit though a good bit you've got like a a weak stomach no I was going to say there's more stuff going on than you you know I have a weak constitution yeah yeah anyway well I'm a simple guy just

you know I'm a bread and jam kind of guy but you're on pills and stuff that's true yeah I like to keep my system working you know yeah oh you want to be alive today body well you got to earn it brother Anyway, Succession.

So Succession, the first episode is Kendall, like, he is buzzing from this, like, he is running on this kind of insane mix of adrenaline. And, like, even when he's talking to people, he's like, yeah, I mean, you know, it's like, it's, it's pretty important, actually, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to say I'm the greatest person in the world, but, you know, it is kind of like, you know. Yeah, it's like, he completely is like, no humility. He's like, I'm fucking awesome. I rock He really strikes me as someone who like

Like if you ever done like really well Like you're doing stand up okay You do really well And after you're kind of like I fucking want people to like say how good I am Yes You don't want to say that But you are kind of like

You are thinking that Like yeah yeah yeah And you what you do This is a real sad thing You go up someone else Being like oh you were great And long pause You should say it back to me

And then they just had you some notes It's like, be less unlikable on stage. You're very rapy on stage. I don't know how, and not even in what you say, just your whole demeanor, your vibe.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, okay. Now, yeah, just like, quick little, the reason why Kendall was so buzzing because the end of season two was a big, like, he basically implicated his dad

in this huge unfolding scandal involving, like, you know, sexual assault within the company. sexual assault, possible debt of union organisers, foreign workers getting killed. So just insane levels of corruption and basically

it was going to end season two that Kendall was going to take the fall but then at the end Kendall goes you know what? It was actually my dad all along. Yeah. And people thought like, oh, next episode Logan's in prison. Getting raped. Yeah, yeah. But no. So like he's buzzing off this and he

kind of like is like, come on guys, that's fucking go. It's not to go here. But he's very much like, okay, let's, I want my Twitter to be fired,

get some of the Harvard kids to write jokes for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very, the thing is like, he's like,

he's very image-based. Exactly. Hired a PR guys. Yeah. What, let's, I like Red Scare. Let's get that bitch involved.

Oh, fuck. Yeah. Dasha. Yeah. I don't like Adam Friedland. Let's get his bitch. Yeah. So yeah,

you're right. He's all like, got to get your social media. Fire. Content is king. it's all about the brand baby let's go and Logan the start is like you know fuck him you know very typical Logan

like fuck him fuck him but then at the end he's like actually let's fly to where they have no like extradition extradition yeah yeah yeah let's actually get the fuck out of America just in case because they don't know what he's got yeah exactly he's like oh I've got

sensitive information but he hasn't revealed all his cards just yet so they're like what does he have what is he going to say and even Logan's pretty wired because this is like this is a fight yes this is like for him this is like that's why he's smiling at the end he's like fucking yeah this is a bit

you know cup of coffee in the morning it was something to fight for basically like holy shit I didn't think Kendall had the balls I didn't think he had it in him but he he kind of he made me proud there by implicating me in corruption that could see me incarcerated till I die yeah connecting me to rapes and murders

that's every father's dream isn't it that's my boy yeah so first episode is kind of like a setting up the pieces Not that much happens They kind of Logan decides to step down In quotation marks A CEO

Yeah And they have to decide who to pick Yeah to be the new CEO Eventually they decide to pick What's her name? Jerry Jerry, yeah Over everyone else

Because also it's kind of like a poison chalice Because you're the interim Yeah So you're here for when the shit happens Kind of like when Varadkar appointed Mihal Martin Exactly yeah Fuck it T-Shok for a year

it's like, hey, global pandemic, why don't you take this one, Mihal? Oh, boy, yeah. And I've got a weird relationship with Mihal Martin where like I jerk off with him sometimes sending dick pics. Brian, I need you to stop sending me the items in question, please.

So, real quick we'll go through it now. Do it. So a second episode then, this is the meeting episode. Okay. Also, the first episode, they're kind of, they're not heavily comedic there's comedic moments in it

but they're like setting up the pieces again and like I mean the comedy a lot of the comedic aspects of the show come from sort of the acerbic dialogue how vitriolic and horrible they are to each other and they're pure contempt for all like you know

basically the common man and social justice and all this shit that companies pretend to care about but anyone with half a brain can tell you they don't give too fucks about it it's all about the bottom line

in the image. So the second episode is to have the meeting and basically really Kendall just wants Shiv but he brought them all over to make the effort to try and get them

on his side away from Logan. So yeah he basically invites all of the siblings over to his hotel room and he's like look let's do it together guys all of us against our dad and he gives this

I was going to say insane but like complete base to the truth speech about how like the American Empire is going to collapse we can become like we need to move away from America, we become a global

kind of media slash social media. Also, like, Waystar RICO and Logan are very much, like, connected to sort of the old ways of media. Toxic. Yeah, it's toxic. You know, it's kind of, they're dinosaurs, patriarch, white men, blah, blah, blah, all the bad stuff.

Let's be the young kids who care about trans people and what, you know, or at least pretend to, you know, care about other races and disabled people and, you know, rainbow flags. in our Twitter or bios and whatnot.

All that shit. So he's got this kind of like glorious plan of like this 100 year plan of like what will happen you know he's thinking

mega big picture and they immediately undercut him like nah you're gay like you're dumb dork yeah you're a drug addict and we're going to say

daddy yeah yeah basically it's like you're mentally ill you're a drug addict and you're just pretty fucking lame dude

Daddy's got bigger cocked in you. Yeah, he does. And we've seen it. And it's old. And though it's limp, still bigger. You know how, as they get older, they get more discolored, you know? They take like a brown tint on them. But it's still working.

One thing I noticed in episode two is, and there's something I kind of picked up on a few times in the show, is like, so there's one bit where like Shiv pisses off Roman. He gets me too close because he mentions that he can't really fuck. He can't fuck. It's like, yeah, the line is up, like, you'd like to show your pee-pee to the world, but eventually you're going to have to man up and fuck something. Yeah. Yeah, and it's a real, like, you know, yeah. That touched a bone nerve.

Hey, yeah, hit a nerve, yeah. Yeah, so, Roman stormed out, and it's Connor who goes to comfort him. That's right. Or they see how he's getting on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then later on, Romans went to an interview about his dad, okay? He's talking about good memories he has. Yeah, yeah.

makes up a lie that Logan brought on fishing. But it was actually Connor. Connor, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's something interesting there work. So Connor's obviously older than everyone else. Yes, yes. It seems... By a good few years as well.

Good few. Apparently, like, him and the Brian Cox are actually like only like 10 or so years away from each other. Yeah, I'd believe that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, uh, because they mentioned the previous season that like, you know, Logan was gone all the time. So Connor kind of filled in the dad role or sort of just like the male role model. took them fish in

was kind of like it's weird he was obviously like a nice older brother to them and then they just have such contempt for him

and see him as a total loser you know what I think it is though I think it's almost like they see him a little bit like the hired help

right because he's not really part of the family he was just there that's right because his mother went to a looney bin

that's right they all so logo fucking Kendall Roman and Shiv have the same mother the English one

but Connor has some like mental dingbat in the loonie been? Yeah, yeah. Carded her off

to the laughing academy. I think they said she's dead now, but she was wheeled off. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. So there's something interesting there. Also, it's quite funny that, like,

they have all these big, you know, important business discussion, stuff like that, and Willa's just there.

Yes. Is he still paying her? I'm, well, look, it's like, it's like,

maybe he's not writing her a check that says hoar on it, but like, make this out to gash. Eh,

am I right? People, come on. That's good. That's good now. Thank you. Thank you. Even if you don't like succession, you got to admit. But, like, I mean, he's paying for her play.

He's paying for, like, the trip, the travel, the food. It's not, it's, yeah, you're right. Whereas initially it was an explicit, this is my whore. I bought her, and she follows me around and touches my dick. And everybody knows that, like, okay, she's just like a high-class escort. Also, another thing about Connor is, um, Willa. this season has become a bit more like that's my man. Yeah, she's like

because he's always talking about his presidential campaign. Like he's in the run to be president or at least he thinks he is. But she doesn't seem to be like everyone else writes him off as a deluded retard but she's like he's going to be fucking president one day so show him some goddamn respect.

I think it's a mix of like you lie to him, you lie to yourself and eventually it's like well you know, I mean like he's very powerful and like who knows. you know they had the apprentice guy

and now they've got some mummy in there so who knows I'm always very interested in the show like what exists

in the succession universe and what doesn't yes yeah so like they've mentioned Bezos

and Musk probably not musk they've mentioned like Amazon shit like yeah

never mentioned Trump obviously because like that the reason is the president yeah they have a

relationship to the president but it's not Trump it's just some fictional president well like I'm not sure if Disney exists in this world.

I think I heard a mention of Disney. I'm not too sure. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, but that is always a little... Whenever I mention a real world thing, you're always like, oh, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah. It's not funny, but it's interesting.

Yeah. Wow, I haven't been outside today. Or yesterday or the day before. Oh, I don't think I'm doing well. And rightly so. There's bad things out there. I just walk outside being like, where's Shiv?

Where's Shiv's booty? where's pinky I mean pinky So episode three This episode really kicked things up to gear from me Okay This is the disruption episode Okay

So Kendall he's still flying high But he's kind of like I think he can't really Except the fact This is going to be a long, tedious process Yeah he kind of He kind of figured like

Oh the battle has already been won Yeah And it's time to To the Victor go the spoils But it's not going to play out like that he's, you know, it's only really beginning. So he wants to keep his profile up. So there's a comedy show hosted by a real-life comic called Zaiwi,

Samantha B. But there's like, so it's like a daily show kind of thing. Yeah, so, yeah, or like a Samantha B, just kind of like, there's kind of like a sassy female comic who's like, you know, riffing on like different cultural or political figures. Yeah, so he decides that he wants to get on the show. And he's kind of like, yeah, I can take the joke. Yeah, you call me a pussy

Yeah, I love that man I love that This is great You know It keeps me in the public eye You know I'd rather if I'm roasting me Than not talking about me at all

Yeah Yeah It's kind of like When we show up to comedy clubs And everyone's like Oh, Cadden I thought you were dead You fat fuck

And I'm like Ha ha good one guys Any spots going It's like Yeah the spots on your back You fat cunt Oh sweet Good one guys

Oh I love being a comedian So good for myself and steam get out of here you smelly conch your failure is depressing us ah good one again maybe I could say a joke to you no don't even look at me that's a hate crime but anyway yeah so he's all like yeah fuck it roast me give me the jokes I love it

so at the same time Tom is like convinced now that he's going to jail now Tom's story arc and this is very interesting because it's like almost like the story of Job where it's like how bad can we make it for this guy But he also kind of He sort of offers himself up As a sacrificial lamb

He goes to Logan It's like look It's looking like somebody Is gonna have to take the fall And it's already looking like It might be me anyway So if you want I'll step up to the plate

And I'll take the rap And that for the first time He kind of gets Logan's attention Logan's like What really? Oh okay Logan's like for what What are you getting out of this

Yeah I want to do this for the family but I don't think Tom would ever admit it to himself but I think subconsciously he's like I am fucking miserable right now He definitely He even did admit it in the last episode of season two

Yeah Remember that it's like that I'm not happy anymore He said it like It's actually the way he put it was very nice He was like I'm wondering if the Unhappiness I would feel If we weren't together

Would be as bad as the unhappiness I feel when we are together Or something like that And it was a real like holy shit moment because the whole thing is like Shiv treats him like a fucking pleb she's out cheating on him all the time talks down to him anytime he tries to say

something she's like oh that's cute like he's so undermined like you know for Shiv okay for Shiv Tom is like a puppy she bought okay yes but it's kind of it's got weird now like there's a weird groat on its head

and she's kind of like oh it's nice yeah milky eye yeah yeah it's like can't jump as high as it used to, but it still tries, you know? And there's a bit of her, it's like, oh, it's still, you know, my little puppy, but it's also, ugh.

Yeah. My little puppy is getting sadder to be around. But that big black Dalmatian's looking looking pretty sweet. A black Dalmatian, aren't they white with black spots? Oh, not this one. Are we still talking about the dog? Oh,

hello! But yeah. Yeah. So, like, Tom's story arc in this, like, he thinks he's going to prison. He's kind of accepted it. He's, like, trying out prison food. Yeah, he's, like, researching, like, Jewish prisons, yeah. Jewish prison.

Because they're the nicest ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, I wonder what the Aryan Brotherhood gang in a Jewish prison would be like. I bet they're pissed. They just, like, get this. They're just self-harming all the time, listening to, like, Mike Gamblea romance. I hate myself. So this is the episode you're talking about where they have the rape me moments.

Nirvana, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Shib's doing her big thing. And, like, Shave can't help it, you know, just meant to be a solemn, like, we accept it was a toxic environment in the past. Yeah, basically, yeah, Shave has to go out, give the big speeches. Like, we're here, we understand there have been mistakes made,

and we're going to do better to, you know, make it all better, blah, blah, blah. So this is a really big pivotal moment for the company. They needed this to go well. But she's got a little bit too much energy. Yeah, she's got a little bit too much pep in her step. A little bit too much pep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's walking out like, do, do, do, do, she's, like, oh, I'm so glad all those bitches got raped on that boat, because now I'm killing it. And then they play Rape Me, which is actually approved by Courtney. Really? Yeah, yeah. It is a great little moment, though. So, yeah, Kendall kind of

set up a bunch of different speakers. Now, why did he do that? Actually, you know what it was? Remember the fucking... He shows... He comes into the office, and everyone's like, don't come in here. You're not welcome here. Don't come here, but he does it anyway. It's kind of like a fuck you.

and then Logan's personal security guard Colin just squares up to Kendall's like just remember I know you I know you and that's a reference to like cadet yeah he killed that kid or whatever some little twink who was getting cat off or something you also I forgot in the first episode season 3 there's actually a bit where like

the OJ yeah the OJ reference yeah Greg's like OJ it's like OJ you're like OJ but you know you never killed anyone And Kendall goes How do you know I've never killed anyone The juice is loose baby

I was like whoa Now that's the one who isn't like He hasn't processed things right at all No no That was a really dehumanized moment It's like Oh is he a sociopath Like how could you

There's a few times on the show Where like Kendall gives like a weird smile Yeah Is he doing that smile to seem cool Or is he going insane Yeah yeah Chemically he's not right That's right

yeah he's not doing he's either doing too much coke or not enough coke something's going on he seems to be california sober this season yes you're right they never i mean we never really see him with the needle in his arm but it's always sort of likely implied that he's still on the sauce and the on the pills definitely played with it in the first few episodes yeah yeah they haven't drinking something yeah but it turned out it was like green tea or something like herbal shit or whatever they're playing with us but anyways so yeah so then when shiv is given the big speech, Kendall has set up a bunch

of different speakers and it starts playing Rape Me by Nirvana and like, you know, there's loads of press there and it's a very embarrassing moment for the company but Shiv especially. So then she writes a letter about how like how bad Kendall

is. He's a drug addict. Right before he's going to go on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kendall like a child hides in like a broom closet or something like that. Just sits on the ground and starts kind of, does he start crying? A little tiny little bit of like, not like full tears,

but just like exasperated like, you know. And we, the viewer think, oh, well, that's it. He's been defeated here. But then something else happens.

The FBI raid the place. The FBI raid Westar, Royco. And the whole time Logan's people have been telling us like, look, the DOJ are on our case. We need to like sit down and have a meeting with them. But Logan's all like just tell them to fuck off.

Yeah. That's he just keeps saying that. And eventually when the FBI are raiding the place, is, they're like, no, Logan, there's no fuck off this time. These people, they are here, they're taking the documents. We're fucked, basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

It's great. So, the episode after that, they, they zig, or they zag or whatever to fuck, like, because I think people thought, like, oh, the next episode will be, like, FBI, you know? Like, Logan's in the sort of Hannibal Lecter, straight jacket and muzzle in the, you know, court. It's ironic, because he did play Hannibal Lecter. Oh, yes. You meant that, didn't you?

I did mean that. You know what? I meant it but didn't even know I meant it. It was my subconscious. My submarine conscious made it happen. Yeah. My Subway sandwich consciousness made that happen. One thing of Nose on Succession is

they always have this kind of vibe where like very few episodes start off immediately after last one. Yeah, there's always kind of a sense that there's been some time has passed. You can never tell. And I kind of like that sometimes You can never tell if it's been a week or a month

Yeah Yeah But it always feels like Because in your own life You're kind of like Wait has it been a week or a month Since I last spoke to my family And showered

I know the last time I showered Is when I spoke to them Wait was it my mom's birthday last week She's in the shower like The juice is loose As you shit yourself The juice is loose and your care is just like

ah that's very funny Brian well done care doesn't you understand the reference just humours you like a cunt yeah your carer watches like selling sunset and she stealing things yeah yeah

but anyway so let's run to the rest of this so episode four is the Adrian Brody episode yes it's a good one now it's a good one now it's like him basically he has a little bit of power because he owns like 4% of the company Yeah, he's like a major shareholder and they need him on side.

So basically Kendall and Logan agree put their differences aside, fly out to meet this guy to reassure him that despite whatever disagreements there are on the family, the company is still you stay with us, trust us and we'll, you know. Basically, he's doing a little shuck and joys.

Yeah, pretty much they are. They are showing up to Adrian Brody with a little bowl in their hand. Please sir, can I have some more? Fucking Brody, like, it's not like he's like, oh will it be bad if I make this old man walk he's just doing it for his own like can this old man walk around my massive massive private island

yeah they're basically oh let's go for a walk even though Logan's like in his 80s and like has had health problems and stuff I think he deliberately was like oh I'm going to head now is leave you two together for a bit just for his own rich guy amusements and like up until that point Logan and Kendall were very amicable

they were just they would talk they didn't argue or anything but then when they're finally alone together that's when the little vitriol comes out Logan says a racial slur oh he does yeah Logan this season now Brian Cox had a bit of fun

yeah he's really enjoying himself yeah they were kind of like look if you can they said it to Brian Cox's agent if he can stay alive long enough to make it to season three we'll let him say at least one slur an episode they have really up to like

you're a queer, you know, you're going to get raped by other people. Yeah, you're going to get raped by a Cinco de Mayo. I didn't take you for a hoo-ha, you know. Yeah. They really have up that. Also in the Adrian Brody one, there's a few things like, you know, oh, I bet you love bagels.

A few kind of like Jewish reference. I think we're nearly out now already. We'll go long. There's not too much left because, like, we're just run through the episodes like. So the Brody one, we liked it again. And then it turns out Brody's just like And it's weird

They haven't actually gone back to this now But Brody was kind of He was like nah He pulled out and he's going with Sandy and Stewie Or like the competition Yeah apparently Brody is CGI'd into the next episode Oh the finale

No no I mean the retired janitor's The Piss Matt episode Wait really? Yeah during his stock marketing He's Cgied into a crowd scene Oh I did not pick up on that at all pick up, yeah, I just, I just heard that, yeah. Weird, why, why?

It's like, you couldn't get Brody an extra day. Yeah, what the fuck's Brody doing? Trying to get back on S&L. Ear me now, on my calls and teen. Don't be a batty boy, Bomba clot. Yeah, it's a weird one now. I tell you one good thing is, I never noticed any COVID stuff in this.

No, no, they haven't even addressed it, I don't think. No, I just mean, like, there's other shows where, like, people like, oh, like, they're standing far apart. talking and shit. There's a few people point out on Reddit like there's some shows were like

in there's like a restaurant scene it's like oh the tables are very far away yeah yeah yeah or like even little things like

they'll have parties as a very small party or like you know yeah but in this they're not doing that at all like yeah you're right actually I didn't even cop that

but yeah it's a good point yeah even the birthday party episode there's a lot of people there you know yeah yeah it must be a lot of hard work and even like that shareholder meeting thing

like the place was packed you know yeah I wouldn't be surprised with a few of them just CGI'd in. I wouldn't be surprised. There's actually a lot of trickery we don't notice. You know, maybe that's why they had to CGI in Adrian Brody because he was like, well, I can't

in all good conscience be in a room full of people during COVID, you know? So the next episode is the Piss Mad episode which is full on comedic. Yeah, yeah. A farcical. Yeah, yeah. It's the most sitcomy episode. Like there's a lot of sitcoms where it's like

very silly. It's like, oh no, he found a pot brownie and now he's crazy. he found a pot brownie and now he's schizophrenic and raping children what it's like that so Logan is like a what uti or something uti says a urinary tract infection that starts to affect his brain apparently yeah in old if you're like an older gentleman like proper like in your 80s 70s 80s a uti can have real like neurological effects if you're not taking the medication they even make a little reference to um Reagan had it and bombed China

or something like that. So yeah, like apparently a UTI when you're old can turn you mental. And I double check that on Reddit all true like, yeah, I love... I like how you went to Reddit and not like WebMD or something. That's bullocks like... That's all

bullshit. WebMD, that's problematic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's run by the vehicle people. The Adrian Brody's... I went on A. Chan and I didn't learn anything but the UTIs but learn other things. I'm certain things didn't happen. But again, very comedic. He thinks there's a cat there when it isn't.

Yeah, so he's basically kind of turned into this delusional, rambling old freak. Like, he's proper like, get the same with you out of the fridge. It's like, dad, what are you talking about? Yeah. An interesting, like, contrast is, so they bring Stewie back. Is it Stewie or Sandy? Sandy, who is like his. big rival. He was the head

of the other big media company. And Dave spazed him. He's like, obviously he had a stroke or something. And I was like when they wheeled him in, I was like, wait, what the fuck? Did that happen? Did you check if it was real? Yeah, no. I did check you. Oh, I didn't check if it was real. Is it real? No, no. Is this a choice? It's like very

very convincing. They basically, that's almost like writing him off, but he still got to show up on set, you know? Because prior to that, he was, I mean, he was an older guy, but he was kind of like he had the buddy holly glasses and he was kind of cool. And, you Make reference to him like fucking a lot

Yeah So not Yeah And they wheeled him in He's all like Stroked out And like And I was

Go to Yeah Yeah He can't even do that He went Oh right No I didn't No

But I was like Did that happen And I missed it Or they write I thought they were writing Around it And the actor Actually

Yeah Yeah Yeah But no It's a choice Okay Yeah Interesting to have

The two main Heads of The companies And they're both Old men One's physically gone And one's

mentally gone gone for the moment. Yeah, yeah. So now the kids, the daughters actually basically, they strike up a deal between them. So Shiv and then

Sandy's daughter who's also called Sandy. We're not getting enough Stewie. Yeah, you're right. Stewie, he's getting no... So many scenes him to showin up or like,

in the fucking Agent Brody episode his whole seems just him just like hugging Brody and that's it. It's like a real wide shot. He's very far away. they're just on the tarmac or whatever whereas like season one and two he's very much

he's there and he's like a real like smarmy shit talker and he's got history with Kendall and it's almost like some interesting moments where he's like this and Ken like forget the business for a minute. I'm talking to you as a friend yeah which and Kendall knows you can't trust that but you can't trust that at all

because like hey forget the forget the business on the millions and millions of dollars at stake I'm worried about you buddies He's like, oh, okay, sure. How are you feeling, pal? Hey, it's not okay. It's okay to not be okay.

But even though, like, there is history. I went to college together, like, did cope together. Something there. I want to see more, my big dream now, I want to see Shiv's tits and Stewie's tits. Shiv's tits in Stewie's mouth. Yes.

Yeah. That's a twist now. And then Stewie's cock in Roman's mouth. It's like, oh, hello. We're having fun this season Here's a Neapolitan ice cream I can show down on her We haven't really got the shiv

I'm annoyed that we spent so much time Talking about watermelon man Wasting our time Fuck it just go long It's fine Yeah okay So that was a shareholder episode Okay

Next episode I've actually I stopped making notes So let me just remind myself what happened It wasn't the present episode Was it? Yeah it was yeah The present episode great Yeah

And you know what, I have a thing where I re-watch the episode was, because the first time I watch it, I'm thinking too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you could miss stuff. Yeah, yeah. Because it is quite dense in that, like, you know, the vast majority of it is just conversations in a room. But the shit that they're saying to each other is really, like, very important to, like, what's going to happen later on. So if you miss something, which is quite easy to do, because you're kind of, I'm the same, you get distracted. You're like, oh, is that about this thing?

And then you're... And also, they don't spoon feed you. And they do a lot of, like, just say a name. Yeah. Like, I feel dumb now. They said, like, Franco and H. Which is... And they meant the dictators.

Oh, really? Like, Hitler and Franco. Who's Franco? He was in an Italian dictator. Okay. So I think that's what they meant. But you and I, I think we both talked with them in James Franco. And Harvey Weinstein.

Yeah, yeah. But it makes more sense talking about fascism and stuff like that. I guess, but then also... I picked it off from a podcast, by the way. Okay, right. Or can I make it angry for a minute. Go. If I can just...

If that's a... possible okay so sometimes listen to this really really dumb succession podcasts

yeah where there are guys from a ringer who think they're smart right the ringer

the Johnny Knoxville movie where he pretends to be a retard exactly yeah in the Special

Olympic yeah Johnny Knoxville loves success oh no why am I so wrong Brian

what's wrong with me that I have this sickness in my brain that I have to save the

horrible stuff. You know, there's something really sad about it, isn't there? You really are the Kendall

of the podcast. Yeah. And you're the Sandy, you're fucking mongo. Shitting yourself. Anyway,

go on. That's so. Remember during the Brody episode, he said something like, oh, you think I'm just

some guy who was lucky in the casino? Yeah. Okay. So the guys in the podcast isn't like, what did he mean?

But is he a professional gambler? What? And then they talk for 10 minutes about like, yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, professional gambler, you know. Jesus Christ. It's like he owns an island. Yeah.

You can't do that from the blackjack tables. Yeah, no, the line was obviously... Sarcastic. Yeah. Like, the whole thing is like, I didn't get lucky in the casino. I built this up because I'm not a fucking idiot. Yeah, yeah. We just got lucky one night in Vegas.

Like, you know, this has all been a very calculated, meticulous thing that I've accumulated. over years but they're like oh he's probably good at the blackjack yeah a bit like in hangover yeah is he Zach Gallifanagas that makes sense they're both that type

I know I think Zach's actually Greek I don't think he's Jewish yeah I made a bad joke I'm sorry inaccurate the worst type of joke inaccurate anti-Semitism will not I will not stand for that sir but anyway yeah so

these so we meet the Mencken he's the, uh, what they call the fascist guy. Yeah. Now, I didn't pick up on how he actually is kind of bad. Because I, when I was rewatching it, he does mention some line about, like, people in America, want to see people who look like them, and don't want people in pick up trucks with boom boxes coming in.

Wow. Yeah, that's a dog whistle, isn't it? That's a big black dog. That's a dog air horn, my friend. That's a real. And he does, when people say he's a fascist, he doesn't go like, of course now. He's like, well, you know, people say they're, people like labels. Now, who is he, who do you think he's based on or who are they alluding to with that?

I like about the show is there isn't like, oh, that's obviously that guy. But there's always, it's obviously stemmed in, like even the sort of, the way the show came about was originally. The Murdox. It was a Murdox script. No, I know, yeah. But then he decided to, oh, let's make it an actual fictional family, which was way better choice. But, no, so you don't think this Minkin guy is anyone... Oh, it's a mixture of lots different people,

but there's, like, there's no person on the show it's like a very clear... No, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The only person who's, like, in any way close is, like, the Ravenhead guy. He's, like, the Tucker Carlson type. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, even that, they don't go, like,

they don't call him, like, Tucker Barrelson. You know, they don't, like, make it that obvious. No, because that would be silly, Brian. It would be a... It's silly to say that. I was going to call him fucker, but I was like that. Fucker Marlson. That's why he calls himself.

Yeah, yeah. So obviously it's a mix of like the kind of like... Any bitches that get with him, it's like, oh, she's a tucker fucker. Oh, God. Oh, God. End it now. Oh, baby. Yeah.

You fucking with me. You fucking with the best, eh? Say a lot to my little friend, eh? You really are the alpha here. Thank you, baby. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. make your little observations there

I'll just be over here in the big boy corner you know I was just saying like so Mencken isn't based on one picture guy but it's obviously a lot of like kind of like alty righty kind of like

yeah yeah yeah YouTuber kind of like all all those people like yeah yeah actually I looked up and people who are suggesting people and half them I don't know and I was like I think it's good I don't know them yes you're right

I listen to their podcast every day and being like oh fuck yeah all these people The Lewis are wrong drool boomboxes and pickup trucks. Yeah. I don't even remember that line. See, I must, I do plan to obviously go back and rewatch the whole. Rewatching it all, you could have an idea where it's going.

Yeah. Very satisfying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, and this is me just being like a bit of a hoo-hoo. There is sexual tension between Mencken and Roman. Maybe it's one-sided. Yeah. There's something there.

Okay, yeah. I think Roman has daddy issues. Yeah. You know what? I was even kind of getting that from later when he meets that Swedish guy. Yeah. There's, like, because they piss on his phone

together and all. Yeah, you're right. He does, Roman is kind of like this weird, repressed, sexual. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he can't, he's a slut, but he doesn't want to do anything. He's kind of like, yeah. He knows he's a little honeypot walking around in the tight pants and his sleeves rolled up,

which apparently, did you know this? Ladies love a man with rolled up sleeves. Did you see that meme? Yes. Going by a meme. We're both looking at memes. That's what we've been like. No, but then I looked.

Like Garfield. Then I looked it up and then, but it was all being, they were all referencing Kieran Culkin in succession. Yeah. Well, it depends who's rolling up their sleeve, okay? I'm just saying if Farley did it. Farley now. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, but yeah. But then Bistley Mencken is this real alt-ride Kant and Romans like, look, this is the guy that should be the next president and shiv like but no he's bad and he shits on the network and Logan kind of likes that yeah and he's he he pops yeah so Logan it's just kind of another it's a

another moment in a long trend of Logan siding with Roman over Shiv yeah now that Kendall's out of the picture it's a back and forth between Roman and Shiv Roman is always kind of the fucking the fuck up and the loser and the bib squeak but now he's

really starting to step up and Logan has taken notice and Shiv's sort of been pushed aside You know what it is as well It's like Shiv is the voice of reason

Yeah yeah yeah She's like We should cooperate With the DOJ And that's not The fun answer Okay Yeah

Yeah So and then Roman's like No let's tell him To fuck off And Logan's like What do I tell them people Oh I do quite enjoy Telling people

To fuck off Actually I'm willing To cooperate Hmm Doesn't Hits the ear wrong But if I go

Fuck off Yes That works so it's like Roman's like the fun yeah the fun one okay has the rebellious streak that Logan does like yeah yeah yeah the rabble rosary you know yeah

so that's really all in that election episode I want to talk about yeah it was a really really interesting episode there's a little bit where like Tom meets up with Kendall with Kendall yeah in the diner and you really get the sense that like oh Kendall has nothing here

yeah yeah all the kind of like oh these documents here will blow the balls off the system so yeah the investigation moves along a little bit everyone and he's forced to reveal what he has and everyone's like oh he doesn't actually have much here yeah he's kind of like a document here says corporations are bad yeah yeah yeah so it's kind of like the first instance we're like oh yeah yeah candle actually has nothing so i think we're gonna be okay and he's just gonna come out looking like a fucking dork oh and we forgot that moment in like the previous episode where he like basically stormed the stage

and gave this speech it's like we should believe all women in front of like the shareholders meeting it's like these people only care about their bottom line dickhead like they don't give a fuck about your little in his delusional minds he taught like they all get up and start cheering

and like carry him like fucking Spartacus or something you know yeah yeah but it was another really cringy moment that was sort of a it just a to the fact it's like yeah you're actually you don't have anything you're just having a little moment but

you're going to fade out speaking of cringe next episodes is the birthday shit yeah the birthday one and that's like they have a lot of fun they literally have like a crucive like a cross in the background they're talking about like getting jet packs and shit like yeah yeah they have fun with it but they didn't go like

be very easy to go like Mr Burns with something like that you know and have it really silly and cartoonish they know where to like like they know where draw the line and like it's funnier to

reference a jet pack and actually have him like fly around yeah yeah yeah because the whole thing's like oh I want this to be a spectacle

because I'm being ironic and nodding at what how weird it is but then halfway through is like oh wait no I'm actually just a fucking loser

and I'm gonna go home and cry but even that kind of like no it's gonna be an ironic party where they all say how cool I am ironically yeah

but I do need this desperately yeah yeah um that was a great episode as well it's like fun things where like it's like his mother's vagina and it's like all these like fun headlines yeah like the little like they have fun with the themed rooms

and all and the tree house and the compliment wall the compliment guard never like roman and shiv show up just to like get a just to talk to some guy scars guard scars guard because he's like oh we need him on our side or whatever blah blah blah so yeah it's um again scars guard isn't like one guy it's kind of a mix of like a weird mix between like a tech bro

and pooty pie or something with that yeah yeah were just saying that because he's like

Swedish you're right actually yeah no and that's what I was thinking too this episode well I know

how much you hate the Swedes fucking fucking meatballs and shit furniture they're dogs

fucking dogs you ever have Swedish meatballs um I've had meatballs I don't know where they came

from but are they different I don't know I've just always heard like Swedish meatballs a thing

like a Belgian waffle I think that's an American like French fries I think they really like Or Irish depression You know They like to put a little

you know label on it Yeah when you get chips in Ireland Like oh depression fries Taco sauce is just Used up seroton Oh a big thing in the birthday episode is so they find out Tom is going to prison

Yeah They're going to cut a deal And Tom is like Oh Yeah my life is still shit here. Yeah. He has that sort of immediate moment of yes, fuck yes, I'm not going to jail. But then halfway

through the party, he's like, oh, I should be happy, but I'm really not happy. What's going on? And this is a running joke where he sees fucking Greg and Greg was like, yeah, I'll probably be running an amusement park and I'm going to bang Comfrey. That's her name. Comfrey.

Yeah, that's her name. Comfrey. Whore face was taken. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I think, to be honest, I think Dash is quite good in the show. She is, yeah. She's very good at, like, he's not pride and prejudice. No, you're right. She is just like, oh, could you be kind of like a stuck-up media savvy bitch? There was one moment actually where I thought she was very good where like she said some sentence and she deliberately like didn't finish it. It was something like, you know, I got a, I was like, oh, that's a good choice there.

Okay. Yeah. He was the way it was like, yeah, because women don't finish sentences. You ever notice that? so let's just go on to the last episode then right this is the mother of the tree of the kids the kids mom is getting remarried Peter Munion that's a tick of it reference oh okay nice character called Peter Manion in that yeah yeah yeah did Jesse write for a thick of it additional yeah additional material yeah yeah there's a lot of people throwing shit in that like some of the episodes will have like fucking like 10 writers yeah yeah yeah And again, like, you know, very much There is a very thick of it vibe in succession

Like, you know Even the way it's shot and stuff You know, it's very thick of it Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah So I made a good point where like all these shows They all stem from Ianucci It's actually mad

You think the amount of talent that came Because he basically like He took those guys in like Yeah, yeah They were on the street They were writing for my parents or aliens Before Ianucci got them on board That's so wild the fact that it's like

My parents are aliens and then succession I can see the line, yes And the guy from my parents or aliens is in to think of it as well Yeah, yeah What an incestuous little group A small country

So it's kind of It's not actually the wedding It's more just like to go there To prepare for the wedding Yeah, to be honest I think the next episode The finale is going to be at the wedding as well I think there's kind of like the dress rehearsal

Or like pre-drink ceremony thing or whatever You know um so they'd have that and kendall's like i want to sit down with your dad yes and actually they catch actually they're talking about kendall's autistic son yeah yeah yeah he's like is he getting better yeah is he getting better it's like uh it's not but like kendall doesn't even he's just like yeah he's fine yeah kennel's not going to get into this autism thing now well dad are you familiar with the term neurodivergent

i named him after a black man yeah yeah that's That's a really funny reference. It's a very Kendall thing. His son's called Iverson. Iverson, yeah, yeah. Iverson was like a basketball player. Right, okay. He was like, the first kind of like street basketball player.

Right, right. Okay. Yeah. Like he was like, you know, had tats and stuff in the media like, my God, he's urbanizing the NBA and it's, I'm scared. I'm scared and horny. And that's the way the cookie cropples. Is that Walter Cronkites?

Yeah. Yeah. A cookie. A white, perfect thing With black stuff in it I guess that's the way The Oreo crumbles Is what I gotta say now

So, yeah The big talking point This episode Of the Shiv's dress Oh well yes Yes Wow Shiv is getting ticker and larger and larger

You Even you've been bringing this up On many episodes Even when we're not talking about Succession It's like So yeah And that's, you know, my dad's anniversary

who's coming like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but did you know the she's teeth? I'm like, what? But yeah, no, you're right. And in this dress, this episode of particular, she is, this dress is painted on. She has been poured into it. Just, oh, and she wears it well. Imagine her in that dress telling you she doesn't love you.

My God. While grabbing your dick. My God. Dear God. Tom actually, cheer up, you bitch. Look what you got Yeah, come on buddy Yeah, I've lost track

Yeah, yeah So have I know, I'm just remembering It's that Shiv meets her He's talking to her mother And the mother was like, yeah I shouldn't have had kids Yeah, and she basically goes

Oh, you don't have kids Do you, Shavon? Probably for the best Some people shouldn't have kids I shouldn't have had kids She makes an interesting line Where like she was saying like I didn't really want him

But Logan was like We're having him Yeah, yeah And she was like If we had a dog Logan would just kick the dog to see would it come back? Would it come back? You know, yeah, he's like he never had anything he didn't love that

he didn't also kick in the face to see if he would come back. Because Logan loves all of this. Like all like the, there's a reason why he hasn't picked a successor yet. Yeah. He loves watching his children try to slit each other's throats. Yeah. Yeah. It's all squid games to him. Like this is his own

personal squid games. But with white people. Yeah, yeah. Squid game. No careers. Let's do it. Yeah. So, um, Yeah, so the big moment in this obviously is then Logan, sorry, what's that name? Kieran Culkin.

Roman. Roman, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got a moment there. I've gone piss mad. Yeah, so Roman is like getting even better than usual. Yeah. He, like, single-handedly decides he's going to get Scars Guard by doing like a merger of equals.

Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, and it's like, it's all him. And he comes up with it and he's doing the whole thing like, oh, yeah, I don't know what we can do here. Maybe we could do a merger equals. maybe that's just something I came up with you just there now what do you guys think and they're like oh yeah fucking go for it go for it and then he's like big dick in the entire meeting and then even just like he's i think in that moment logan's looking at him being like fucking hell

this guy is my flesh and blood every other one of them is a disappointment it really is like the first well maybe not the first but it's definitely it's the pinnacle like yeah it's like Logan is genuinely proud of Roman he's like holy fuck you've actually impressed me here you could have what it takes and he has sort of alluded to that

in the past he's like he's got good instincts and he might have what it takes but he needs to experience and he needs to smarten up a little bit and stop with the silly games I think even when he picked Jerry he did say something like look

this is for now you know but we'll see you know the future is coming and like even so Roman accidentally sends dick pick and it's a real penis

Yes it is a real penis I bet I hope it's not CGI I feel robbed That's that's Adrian Brody's penis CGI Dane Yeah yeah yeah No yeah because Obviously Jerry The old broad

And Roman have had this weird Sexual tension They've had like phone sex And Roman sends her dick pics But she's getting married Or she has a fiancé She's a fiancé Or at least like a serious boyfriend

She's like Look Roman We had our little thing and that was whatever but you need to stop this now you know it's bad for both of us career-wise and personal wise but he's just like

look at my dick this I say they've made a choice by playing this angle this way because annual show just to be like the mean boss is like oh you bitches my cock yeah yeah this is like a week

oh he's like an almost asexual yeah or like a sexually repress daddy's boy sending cockpicks to an old lady he reminds him of his mother

yeah yeah but it's interesting because like the way it started off this whole thing is like because he's like sexually aggressive

with his words to everyone he was like look we gotta get in the room just fuck the shit out of each other towards jizz and money that's the way he talks

they've mentioned that even more this season like shavis like a few times be like what the fuck's wrong with you yeah he'll just be like oh I bet you love

sucking cock and it's like yeah I'm your sister. Yeah, yeah. Of course you are. I know those dick sucking lips anywhere. I jizz on your tits. That's a business talk.

Read Art of War by Sun Tzu. Art of Hoar. By Sun Jules. No, no, no. Anyway, nah. I handed the extra tag wasn't worth it. I didn't like that. No, sorry.

A bit hateful. But yeah, so like the thing between Roman and Jerry the way it started off is like he's like being sexually explicit in his words over the phone then he starts jerking off and she's like you filthy little pig you disgusting little boy and he's like oh yeah please yeah and they do that a couple of times and then but it's kind of fizzled out but he keeps sending dick pics blah blah blah he makes the deal come through she texts him to go well done roman

you crushed it he sends her a dick pick but oh it doesn't go to her it goes to Daddy Logan. Now, do you notice the text that Logan was about to send? No. Good job, son.

Really? Yeah, that's like, he's about to press that and then he gets a message, yeah. And then he like, backspaces, great job, son.

You've passed a test. See, Shiv could never do that. No, no. Yeah. She can Photoshop her clit all she wants, but it's not fooling anyone. And then, like, I love how

Logan's so disgusted, by, like, the fact that he's, you know, sending dickpicks to an older woman, but, like, he's banging, like, that one is, like, 50 years younger than him. Yeah, now, they all, like, obviously, they're being very flirty, and they all, like, oh, he's definitely banging her, but we, is he banging her, do you think? I think it's, if it's not applied, like, he's, like, look, he's definitely fucked around. Sure, sure. I'm just saying, like, is he still, are you still fit at that age, in your age?

I guess, if you have the money. In this day and age, yeah, just, stem cells. What's that thing? Like, like, Harvey. one scene used to, like, have erection injections. Yeah, yeah. He, like, injected shit into his dick to make them hard. Like the movie Limitless.

I think clearer than ever before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, he sends that Logan is, like, Logan, like, does he call him, like, what, is this a gay thing? What is this? Yeah, are you a fucking pervert? What's going on? Yeah. And, like, Shiv's kind of, like, she was like, oh, shit, I can use this to kind of, uh,

usurp Roman and that's the way it feels like it's it you know when that episode ends but personally look at it from you take a step back what is it he's sending dickpicks to an older woman you know she've tried to get Jerry like you want to do a me too thing here and Jerry's just like no

she's that's what you want she goes into a ride or die bitch yeah that's Jerry all the way but yeah no she goes straight into lawyer mode she's like I don't recall Shiv I'm sorry I'm gonna well I'll think about it and we'll discuss it at a later time. Obviously Jerry's not going to say shit. She's too smart

to know. There's nothing to be gained from that. And then really step back, what is it? Dick picks to an older woman, who gives a fuck? You know what I mean? Like, it's really not anything that you, it's not a, you couldn't ruin him over it. So I think Roman will still come out looking pretty good here. Let's, I want

to finish this off now, because we're doing like an hour and a half here. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's real quick, what's going to happen next episode? I have a theory that I've heard somewhere else. Okay, go. I think the only way to move the plot forward and have something big happen. Yeah. And to give Kendall a sense of catar...

Real quick, sorry. Good thing you stop because I was like, catarsis. Catarid. Yeah, I was like, oh, he's using a three-syllable word. Abort, abort, abort, a cartatist, doctor who? Caratopatish. Time and relative dimensions in space. Oh, you nailed that one.

Nerd? No, the way that the last episode ended, people were like, is Kendall dead? I'm not getting into that. Yeah, well, he's definitely not dead. And if anyone who thinks he is, is a retard, but anyway, go on. So I think it has to be Kendall reveals the world about the dead boy. He killed the boy.

Yeah, because that's the only way to really fuck with his father. And it's also the only way to redeem him, because as we've seen, the entire time, he's been very self-involved. It's all about me and my brand and my image. He's just very much capitalizing on the fact that women were raped and people died on the cruises. to up his own profile and defeat his father. Almost like a lot of people on Twitter, isn't it? Ah, no, I'll delete that. Preach, brother, preach it.

No, too much truth there. No, no, we're keeping that in. If you're keeping in Watermelon Empire, we're keeping that. But anyway, yeah, so, yeah, no, I think that's actually, yeah, that's the most satisfying way of happen. That really works as well. I have feared that the show might become, like, Silicon Valley. We're just, like, cyclical and the same thing over and over.

Oh, the company, Pipey Piper is going to fail. We're okay. Pipeper, or like, entourage, you know, Finn's going to make a movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, Johnny Drammer showed up. Johnny Drama. Hey, it's me, your younger brother. Hey, bro, what's going on?

Ah, what are you doing here, Johnny? Yo, bro, I saw you were having problems. I'm here to help. Oh, there's a good thing you're here. Yeah, that would be great. but yeah yeah so I'm looking forward to season
