Episode Date: April 17, 2023

Drake and then the death in Succession....

All right, we're going, guys, the free one there. I'll be honest to you, I kind of had so much fun in the Patreon episode. It's not, like, I'm not bragging, I'm not plugging, but I had so much fun. You made me laugh so hard, and you were so sad on that Patreon. I really was. Yeah, you got really sad. Very sad. There's a bit, you're, like, quite out the sad part, and I was like, that's the whole thing.

Yeah, it's a good thing that, that's the funny thing about sadness is, it comes as, it goes as quick as it comes. So I'm not sad anymore, Brian. I'm loving life. I'm having the best time. Yeah, this is free episode, James, right here. I was saying on the Patreon. Well, hey, gang, welcome back to the show. I was saying to James and the Patreon, and let's try this now. We're just a new bit of the Chris Ramsey podcast.

And he's so happy, go lucky and upby. And let's try that a little bit, James. Okay. Let's pretend we're not like, you know, like you can swear, okay? You can say like, some of the F words. You can see. You're going to have to specify which words. I'm just saying like, say it a little bit,

like you can say shite and feck and all that, right? Why, I bet, welcome back to the show. Oh, we're having a bloody good time. But maybe don't go full Kanye, all right? For once, don't go full Kanye. Actually, I say that now. I take the back, Kanye's good now again. Is he?

Yeah, remember he watched 21 Jump Street. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think, I think you read that. It's like, oh, okay, cool. It's all forgiven. I think the general population is still a bit. I was like, I, on behalf of the Jewish community, forgive Kanye for having the right opinions.

Oh my God. Because I love Kanye. That's the thing. I do get a little bit like people are like, well, he's also a shit rapper. I'm like, oh, oh, yes. No. I'm very much team Kanye. And a lot of people are team Drake.

I don't warm. I don't like either of my Brian. I don't like it. I find Drake a bit shit now. To me honest, I'm not really big into either of their guys's music. See, Drake is someone. that people can, like, ironically and can like...

On ironically. Yeah, and it's the same kind of like... You know what's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like, you know, when people like, um... You know, some people are like, oh, family guy, shit, but then they watch a bit of family guy and, like, you know...

The fuck's at that. I'll kill them and myself, and I'll kill Drake and Gagne West. That's it. I'm on blast right now. Let me tell you now, we'll come back to the shoe. If any of you causes out there,

mouth enough about bloody family guy, I'm going to kill Drake and get you west My point is you might be like Oh family guy is very shit It's just joke after joke Every now and again you gets you You might laugh something You're honest I've heard you say that about family guy

That's my point Admit it Brian Admit it My point is you catch yourself Laugh and family guy Like ah you got me there And it's bit like Drake Or be like ah Drake it's all fucking

Ah he's just that guy from the grassy I'll first find myself Someone's like going like You know Humber little Drake song Like oh god he got me there Yeah yeah Maybe Millie Bobby Brown

Does look of age you know? Mm, yes. We are just tapping along there. It's like, hey, maybe bad baby, maybe I will cash her outside. How about that? Eh? Cash me on a register.

How about that? So what are we going, we're not talking about hip-hop this episode. No, we are not. We're talking about succession. I actually haven't listened to hip-hop in a while. I think I need to listen something again. No. I need to get my credibility back, my street credit.

The more hip-hop you listen to, the harder it is to follow the plot. succession. That's just science. That's neurochemistry one at one Brian. The other ends of the spectrum, you know? The other one of the spectrum. But what was my point? I don't know. You made me laugh too much.

I've got some iron brew right here. I think we're going to try and be PC on this one, you know? No, I'm just saying like, you know, just a little bit less, a little bit like, what a fuck are in the cunt? Are you quoting me there? I can't quite recall. And it was fucker in the bloody cunt.

If you're going to do it, do it, right. That's Patreon material right here. Check out the Patreon, guys. The Patreon, as some people incorrectly called. I haven't listened to hip-hop in a while. I mean, kind of gone down the kind of a dad route of listening to, like, Grateful Dead and the Beatles and shit like that. That's more granddad, you know.

Yeah. You're right, actually, I need to earn my street credit again, like my wigger card. because I've been listening to a lot of Beatles there for a while. I was reading up about a lot of Beatles stuff. I listened to a podcast called Notting is Real, which is a podcast about the Beatles. All right.

So that's why I'm listening right now. Why is it called Nothing is Real? I think that's a song lyric or something. It's probably something that I don't get now. I thought you get it. Nope. Neither of us did. Okay, cool.

But it's good. You can't jump from like Grateful Dead and Beatles back to like, can you? You got to kind of like wean yourself back in? Listen to Fab Five Freddy. You know when Philip Seymour Hoffman went back on the heroin? Yeah, exactly. Need some Fab Five Freddy and Cool Mo Dee and Big Daddy Kane. Yeah, a little bit of that.

Yeah, yeah. Slick Rick. Yes, yes. I love Slick Rick, man. Who doesn't? Anyway, to you know something's interesting? So you know Brian Epstein? Yeah.

The manager of Beatles. Yes. I didn't know much about him, but I presumed he was like a good manager. or at the very least like he was a lucky manager who got the Beatles he seems like a right fool Really?

Like your manager to think like this heartless guy who's like you know Sell sell Yeah You know what Ringo You're not good enough

Suck my cock You know like that You know like that He wasn't even the best Cock sucker in the Beatles Best Rim job in the world He's not even the best rim job In the Beatles

Oh But my point is like He seemed like a real I didn't know Dame Edna was in the He seemed like a real emotional mess So he was Brian Epstein

He came from a semi kind of wealthy family in Liverpool Like Liverpool wealthy Like his dad ran a few shops in Liverpool So like Edstein Oh I've been he did Well he was Jewish No halalow

Well the thing is like he's Jewish And he wasn't that many Jews in Liverpool No there wasn't There was a bit of that as well And like apparently at one stage He was getting stone with the Beatles And at one stage he looked in the mirrors When Jew

Jew and Jew into the mirror himself. So it's obviously some issues right there also secretly gay so like Oh was he?

Yeah well not that secret he wasn't very good of hiding there now but you had to keep a little bit on the DL you know Jewish and gay

and from Liverpool that's the devil's treason right there that is the trifecta yeah God no one likes all those things it must have been

very hard for him to make friends oh I just love that you for from Liverpool, darling. Wait, you're a what? What's for that little hat? I don't like that little hat.

Take it off. What the bloody... Oh, no, you dirty beggar. He took out his cock, and we're going to suck it. I was like, where's the rest of it? Somebody's lobbed a bit off, love? You've been bloody murked.

Some bloody... Oh, shit. Oh, I did it again. I like this. I'm going to edit this, and it's going to sound way worse. do that a lot where he edit it. It's like, oh no, I said that. He's like, yeah.

We all know what you said. Yeah, fill in the blanks yourself. But anyway, so like he was a big emotional cunt, basically. Now, he seems like a nice guy now, which also seems a bit like, um, outdated for a manager these days, but like, yeah, you gotta be ruthless. Yeah, he was not ruthless

at all. No way he kept doing. He kept falling in love with these guys, all right, who'd be like, oh, yeah, uh, I'll be your boyfriend. Give me loads of money and I'll come back. He'd be like, okay, and he'd run away with the money. He'd like, oh, boys, I've lost all the money again. Like, multiple times, like, he'd, like, the guy would steal money from him

and then call him up, be like, ah, I regret that. Give me more money. Give me a suitcase full of money, but I just, I have an investment idea. Yeah. So, okay, yeah, here you go. Yeah, and he's run off again. And then, like, he'd take all his drugs and he'd have to hire a private detective to find his drugs. What drugs was he on?

He loved, um, I just uppers, downers, everything. you know like oxies and greens reds ludes he was doing fentanyl head of his time he's doing fentanyl like Culeo yeah exactly just came out

fentanyl killed Culeo and I said it was a drug overdose you called me a racist I don't remember who's racist now you say that everyone like you know yeah

but yeah he just seemed like a bit of a kind of emotional guy and also I was reading nerding about you the Maharasia the Maharashi oh fuck

I'm dyslexi the Maharashi okay so You know what he's connected with the Beatles? Yes. I didn't realize how quickly the Beatles just drank the Kool-Aid where he was doing a thing where he was doing a tour around England

and these shitty little community centers. Yeah. And you have to pay him like one week's wages. Okay. That's thing. So it doesn't matter if you're a banker or a postman. You have to give him one week's wages. Right.

And then he talks about, you know, like, oh, peace and love. And we are all just, uh, debt is just an illusion. Yeah. Higher consciousness. Yeah, all that stuff. Okay. So he preached like transcendental meditation, right? A lot of stuff like that.

that. If it wasn't exactly that, it was in the same family, all right? But there was a bit where like, so like, John Paul and George go to him. They spend one night with him. One evening, okay, this is a new seminar and he's like, hey, lads, how about we all

go to Wales and we do like an intensive week long meditation session? Right. Right. All right. And just bring Ringo along. Like, Ringo wasn't even there. Just like brought Ringo along. And they all go down to Wales together for like a week. Nice. And there's no planning around. Like, nowadays, like, everything's so meticulously scheduled.

It was like, look, we're doing this in a month's time, and we got this tour. And they were just like, ah, fuck it, let's just go on the Wales with the Maharashi. It was the 60s, man. It was free love, baby. They brought Mick Jagger along as well, like, and Silla Black. It's like, that's the thing, the Maharashi, he was so, I'm going to take them to the most depressing, grimaced shit hole possible. And it's like, if I could bring you to Wales for a week and you don't want to kill yourself, then I am. you know a spiritual leader

well the man of Rashi he was going to say Silla Black is with them Sill Black yeah that is sweet so they all pulled a train on Silla Black Sill Black was getting dicked from every direction back then it's crazy oh man she's the real G right there yeah man so this episode

is oh Jesus you're coughing there I'm fine you sound like Logan Roy fuck off yeah so this episode is about succession yes and you're loving succession right now aren't you James yeah Yeah, you got, you're completely different now.

Oh. There's a wild air where like you were, you're down. No, no, no. Wrong, wrong, you're an idiot for even suggesting that. My point is like, now you're full of piss and vinegar right now. You're basically moonwalking everywhere. It's quite a problem, actually, yes. I can't stop secreting vinegar and urine out of my capillaries.

Ah, yes, it's quite a medical anomaly. They say I'm going to be in a beaker and a mureenact. museum by next week. So, you know, hey, it's been a fun ride. Yes, I'm loving Succession right now. What, you calling me a retard? A gay retort. Does I like Succession?

Oh, okay. I'm on your side, James. Go listen to Drake. See what that gets you. You fucking drink your iron brew. Your peasant juice. All right, James, calm down. No, it's great. I'm on your side. Yes. So, we have watched three episodes

of Succession Season 4. The final season. The final season. Now, when I first heard it was the final season, I thought, oh, is there enough time? There's a lot of elements here. Yes. Maybe season five, at least. But right now, it's ticking along.

Everything seems like, yeah, this seals like a final season now. All the ducks are getting aligned right now. And I'm very much enjoying every aspect of it. Yes. So we'll talk about each one individually of season four, each episode. For that, though, I will say, a lot of normies are watching the show now. A lot of normal people It was trending on Twitter

Brian I didn't care for that But it's this weird because By the way don't go on Twitter Because they spoil the shit out of it They spoil everything It's insane Also it's a nice

We're gonna spoil it in this episode Somebody needs to do something about these people The blue hairs with their blue checks And their blue birds On the blue and they're all on Their blue blood and bud lights Blue blood and blue Piss

And they're on blue prozacets sick. Yeah. You're in a weird mood now. I know. It's weird because I'm trying, like, just some great James can talk about this. You're like, what?

You remember that thing I said where the sadness goes away? I don't think it goes, Brian. I think it stays. He stays with you. It's like vampires. Once they get into

your blood, it stays with you. Nobody cares if I'll ever a dad, Dr. Green. No, James, back in the room. You're right, sorry. You're getting very silly to James. Silly and sad.

Let's talk about season 4, episode 1. Now, I... Spoilers ahead. You're going to spoil it. The fuck over, yeah, yeah. So what happened to season four episode 1, James? Yeah, see, it wasn't... It was very much... It's table setting, I see.

Very much, so he's just... They're lining up the dominoes, you know, it kind of... You know, on the face of it has the appearance of not much happening, but it's very much setting up a lot of stuff. It feels very much like standard succession. Yeah. The kids are bickering, the dialogue going. You know, it's kind of reminiscent of season

one because it's Logan's birthday. Yes. But this time, none of the kids are there. So it's very much the battle lines have been drawn. It's the three siblings on this side, and then it's Logan, Tom and cousin Greg on the other side, you know what I mean? So the kids

are trying to, you know, break away, do their own thing. They're kind of figuring out oh, will we go with this? Will we start a new media company? You know a thing that doesn't get said enough by Succession? Yeah. The children are incompetent. Yes. Like that's something that needs to be said more. Because I see a lot of people, normal people watch

Succession now, and they're always like, oh my God, Kendall's so dreamy. It's all become very superficial. They're like, you know, Shiv is a girl boss. And it's like, no, they're kind of, they're not good people. Yeah, they're quite, they're bad people and they are incompetent. They are incompetent. Like, their whole thing

was like, let's do the hundred. It's like a news website. That's never been done before. And like, look at Vice right now. For example, Vice, okay? Yes. That's basically being sold off as we speak like. These things aren't profitable.

Logan was right. It's cable news. That's what's still profitable. Okay. It's like cable news. And like, remember like in season one, I think they were going to buy like all these local stations? It's like there's no money in that. It's all, you know, it's all Instagram and TikTok.

Yeah. So this is the safe foundation right here. Yeah. That's saying people get, you know, caught up with the. the new thing, it's like, like crypto, this time last year, was the bees' knees, and now it's dog shit. NFTs for a minute were the hot new thing, but that shit the bed, you know what I mean? These guys would be buying, like, Kendall would be like, oh, yeah, we can bring about world

peace by NFTs, like, that's something that Kendall would fully believe in. He's legit, like, he is very easy to manipulate and, like, you know, people recognize that they're spoiled, fucking sheltered, like they've been sort of incubated from the real world. they don't know how it goes. I think Logan... Suckling on daddy's teats for too long. Logan can't help. You almost kind of like,

you know, um, you look at someone and just such, you know, it's like, you only see someone bomb on stage. Yeah. And you're like,

oh God, this is painful to watch. I give it's really, really bad. Yes. That's basically what Logan sees when he looks his children. It's just like,

he just sees failure. He's embarrassed by them. Yeah, exactly. And he said itself here, dope, like, I'm trying to be, this is me trying to be nice to you.

Like, yeah, the end of episode two is like, but you're not serious people. Yeah. And that's just very true. It's like, you're all idiots and you've all, you know, any opportunity that he's sort of given them to prove themselves,

they fucked it up in one way or another. You know what I mean? And so another thing I was thinking there is kind of funny. So like, I was listening to a podcast recently about Succession. And even just little things I was laughing at, like, you know, like the bit in the karaoke bar with Logan, where he's talking about trying to apologize, but he can't. You know, so he's like, sorry about that.

one thing I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? And they're like, listening off things like, you put Conner's mother in a fucking mental asylum. You beat fucking Roman.

And then she was like, yeah, and you help Tom with divorce. Remember thing like that's such a, I think it's purposely kind of like a very petty, kind of like in the grand scheme of things. Like,

your divorce isn't really that important. And it's like, what's no kids involved? No. Why you're going to lose money? But I don't know, it's the fact that her father helps her ex-husband

you know, basically fuck her over with lions. I've only seen Sopranos would know what to do that way. It's not either, it's not... Okay, yeah. It's not the biggest thing ever, but I remember, like,

listen to some podcasts this woman was on it being like, and that I think is the most important thing because for women, divorce is very important. Yeah. Well, not for her. She has more money than him.

Yeah, exactly. The only reason it's important is because they get half the shit. But if they have more money going in, then what the fuck do they care? Exactly, yeah. Yeah. Who is this woman?

Give me her. address. Yeah. So episode one is the kids trying to set up their own little news agency.

It's going to be fast, it's going to be their own thing. They're going to take on like the ATN. You know,

ATN is the sleeping old giant and they're much like Logan itself. Yes. And they're like the new fresh thing. Then they get a chance.

New hip sexy. But then even like they tried that for like five minutes. They're like, let's buy Pierce, the other news organization. Yeah,

which is the company that Logan has been, it's been as big as competitor. He's been trying to buy them up for years. so they know it'll really

fucking annoy him if they get control of it. It's always like a dog chasing a car in a way is like they've bought it to basically piss off their dab but they don't what to do with it. Who's going to actually like do the day to day, like sit down like oh we need to work harder on this element

like fourth quarter. I mean even the way they go about actually acquiring it is reckless and silly and there's not a lot of foresight. They offer 10 billion which is completely beyond their means they don't have that much revenue. But they're like, hey, let's say the biggest number, and then we win.

Yeah. And that's exactly what they do. And they're kind of like, you can't afford that, though. They have like this idea of like, oh, we're eight bills short, but we can get that. We'll do a bit. Yeah. Oh, it's only an, it's only an extra billion. Oh, well, then.

Yeah, yeah. They have just things like, well, we can talk to people. We can get that bill pretty easily. And a fairness, to his credit, Roman is the only one. He's always considered the lesser of the three in terms of business savvy. He's the only one that's like, that's an extra billion. and where the fuck are we going to get that? Like, that's mental.

I've always said about Roman, Roman, Ryan. What? What? Where are you getting this from? You think talking with people's cocks. Well, oh, I can't talk about her tits or his cock. That's the world we live in.

You're talking about tits. I can't talk about my big tits or my little cock. Anyway, sorry, yeah. So you said, what about Roman? What are you always going to say? I do like Roman a lot. And if it wasn't for his wanking issues, he'd be perfect. What issues?

He likes to jerk off while an old broad calls him a pig. What's wrong with that? In the ground scheme of things, that's pretty PC, you know? I always thought it's funny how much Logan was disgusted by that. Is there some fucking queer thing with you? It's like, no, Dad, Jerry's a chick. You're a fucking woman. Fuck off.

If I had known, your name's Jerry, for God's sake. I saw you cockity or Iinal. That was my clip, Logan. their god but yeah but apart from his whanking issues I think Roman is

pretty a safe pair of hands in the grand scheme and things like he is I tell you what Roman he's very good to talk of the Scarsguard and people like that he's very good at playing the game

he can be manipulative Shiv can be in fairness they all can but the other two very much let their emotions dictate and control him at the end of the day can be emotional

and kind of is a little bit of a daddy's girl at the end of the day. Yes. And I mean Kendall has killed a person, you know, like and I also... Oh, hey no, let's not. I spent time in the loony bin, aka, you know, rehab. Dad was rehab, you know,

and my son is autism, so, you know, maybe you just need to... What did he say about his son as well? Yeah, what did he... Did the longest say something? Is he any better? Have you found a cure for a cure? it, yeah. Have they fixed them? House is our condition there,

you know. But anyway, look, let's just I'm, here's saying, episode three is so big. Let's just talk about episode three, and we can circle back to everything else. Okay. Episode three starts off with Conner's wedding. Yes. And I feel like

the most, seeing about Connor, it's all these characters, so for a while I was like, you know, Connor is pretty normal and then I forgot like, no, he's actually mental as well. Yeah, he's a fucking loser. you forgot he's also trying to run for president and he's marrying his call girl

he's like I will make you my wife my queen is like yeah are you still going to pay me though she's a brazer blah what are you doing but it's also funny is so Connor's marrying a prostitute basically yes but he's still like do you love me for me he's not like you know

hey babe I'm starting to see why you identify with him do you love me for me yes I love you for your Give me money now, please. Okay, you're a bit of a Brian Epstein yourself, aren't you? Do you love me for me? Yes, please, don't give me more money, and I love your big beadedish.

It is big, isn't it? I knew it. I'm going to call up, James, now. You tell them over the phone, it's big. But it's not like, hey, doll, look, I'm getting the sweet ass, and you're getting some money. Let's have some fun. He's like, oh. To wander lonely as a cloud? Where are you going?

Like episode two, he's like, so they have the rehearsal dinner, and she like runs out of the room, cry and said, I can't do this. And Connor is like, monitor, he's like, you know, find my iPhone. He's like, why is she going over the bridge to Brooklyn? I know who lives in Brooklyn. Why is she going over? She better not meet with the Wu-Tang Clan. Beds die. Oh, no.

I don't like this at all. Yeah, so he's pathetic, you know, it's really sad. But there's almost like, sometimes, like, the other siblings, there's so much, like, they've got so much shields and there's so much, like, they're funny, that's all these things. They'd be very seething and very, like, you know, a lot of zingers and whatnot. Yeah, very snarky and witty and conty, but, you know. But Connor's, like, such a, like, beaten dog.

He is the punching bag. Later on, we'll get, when he finds out about, you know, certain debt, he's kind of like, he never even liked me. Like, it's just such a, like, he almost. has such a more clear perspective on his place in the world than the other siblings. Yeah, you're right. He's not as, well, I don't know,

that's even weird to say he's not as deluded running for president and marrying his prostitute. But he is, within the dynamic of the family, he knows his place. You know what's like? It's like if you're a really scrawny guy who gets beaten up all the time,

it's almost like, you're like, I guess I'm not Arnold Schwarzenegger. And you know that, okay? But if there's some guys who have, like, a tiny bit of muscle and the tune and a bit of steroids are like, yeah, I'm basically fucking Drax to destroyer. Like, I'm, I'm John Cod Van Dam. I am the time cop. It's almost like, reality has beaten him down a little bit. I do love the little hints that his mother, his, his, his, uh, mother's like, you know, incarceration.

Yes, she was basically committed against her will for, we never really find out why. I bet you it was something really small. She dropped a dish once, and Logan was like, Oh, he came home, she was smoking hash while listening to The Grateful Dead. You've gone fucking mad, you're crazy bitch. Get out, get out, now. Also, respect to Logan, by the way.

It's like, you throw the poor woman. I like, the son, you're like, I don't actually like you anymore. Now that she's gone, we can drop the facade. I think you're weird. I never liked you. you get the fuck away from me I had to psychoanalyze Logan

a little bit I think a bit more like like I think maybe if the mother was actually like psychologically mental or like actually like had mental illness problems he probably sees her as weak that's how Logan works

and he sees like you know he probably caught the same thing off her yeah yeah I don't want him get it for me yeah exactly I don't want him infecting your kids so he probably like they mentioned like Connor went ears I've seen the other siblings or his father.

I think they send him off to like Borton School. Yeah. So it's kind of like a quarantine, you know, don't infect the other kids. And it's always told us an interesting relationship as well

because I think there was a certain stage of relationship from what I can tell the true context where he was almost kind of like a little bit, not big brother, more like father figure a little bit like he would he would look after the kids more than Logan ever did.

Yeah, exactly. Because there's a big age gap as well. Yeah, like they mentioned like a few things like, you know, he'd bring them camping or stuff like that. Yeah, take them fishing and stuff. Like, he's the one doing it, you know?

He's almost like the one, like, minding them and that. And then once they get of age, they realize what a dork and they bully him. You know, it's kind of like, if you had like an uncle, like an unimplied uncle hanging around, and you're like, hey, this guy's cool. He's always hanging around playing Xbox. And then, you know, when you're in your turrets, he's like, oh, he's still playing Xbox. There have been so many more consoles that have come out. He's still rocking a three.

60. It's like, dude, what do you do? And he's still shit at it. He still can't play NBA 2K. In his defense, he's got the racial slurs down. When he's playing online, he can do, that part he's good at. That's what he plays.

Yeah, but... So anyway, my point is, it's Connor's wedding, and he's marrying Willow. I do like... Yeah. Willa. Is Willa? Willa. Willa. I meet him. I like... It's Willa, Brian.

Willa. I like, I have to... I did that. You do it. I like Willa's mother as well. Yeah. I like how much of Reelish, she's like, yeah, get that money.

Yeah. Get that money, girl. Stack that cheddar. Bank that scrella. So the wedding's happening. It's on a boat. Apparently, I was listening something a while ago.

A few people on that boat are like well-known New York types. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. That we wouldn't get. But one of them, like, she's a very famous, like, wedding planner, like an actual real-life person

there, another person, like, another famous, like, in that... Hedge fund managers. No, it's all just, like, wedding planners or, like, you know, people in that kind of, like, events world. Right, no actual power. It's, like, you know, it's not... Like, that's the best cake maker in the, in all the New York area.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, once everyone, once the nukes start flying, that'll be a, that's a skill that's totally, you know, indispensable. It's like, oh, you'll be the king of the compound. He's the cake maker. Yeah You'll either be the blood on my knife

Or the shit on my dick Sweetie Oh, cats got claws Anyway, back to success You're in a weird mood I am in a weird mood You know This could be it for me

This could be This could be the big one This could be the You know The final address You know I think you're processing grief right now Maybe

Because of Logan Because of Logan Yeah exactly I think that's it Well there were similarities But we'll get in to that. Mainly the racism.

It's the wedding anyways, my point, right? Conor's wedding. I'm going to fucking force me. Sorry, yeah. I'm going to power through this, right? You're going to have fun and be like, oh, imagine if Logan did this? No, he didn't do that. I'm like Conner.

I'm Connor's mother. You just want to get me committed. Yeah, okay, so it's the wedding, and Logan's not showing up to the wedding. He's going to Sweden to do a business deal. And it's funny because I think the other kids are like, yeah, of course he wouldn't. Yeah. But interesting, Connor's still like, hey, dad might show up. Yeah. I mean, you might have to hide, but dad be here. He's going to be here. And also, Roman seems to be a little bit like, you know, a little bit like incredulous that his father isn't showing up. Like, it's your son's wedding. Well, yeah, because the thing is, while there's still the, it's like the three siblings versus Roman. But Roman's the only one that's maintained some contact with Logan. And then at the end of episode two, there was a sit down between Roman and Logan. And Logan's like, come on, I need you on my team. It's going to be us. versus them.

Yeah. So you kind of, you think that's how it's going to go because, you know. I will say as well, and that, you know the scene where he brings Roman over?

Yes. The Gaff, okay? Tom is just there. At this stage, Tom is like peaked. It's like, you know, he's basically Tom, uh,

he's Robert DeVall in the, in the godfather. He's like, he's right there. And he's the guy who like, like, solves, you know, deals with all the issues and all that.

Like he is in the perfect position, which makes it more funny the fact of the next episode he's dead. Yes, yeah. He worked his way up to the very, very top. You know, he's basically even Logan hand jobs, all right? He betrayed his wife to go with Logan and is like, this is it, I'm untouchable, and then, boom.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So, Roman's kind of upset about the fact that Logan's not there. Yes. And also, we found out that Logan's plan, like a big, basically a call, like a night of the long knives. Night of the long knives, a wonderful little analogy. He's good, thank you very much.

For when, well, you didn't come up with it, but. you're right it was dialogue it's funny how Brian I'm like

hey shit show at the fuck factory I came up with that and I just have to be like yes you did

bore on the floor is a game I invented and the show stole off me I have to text you like why do you steal

his idea from me they did it again I can't believe week after week surely I have legal grounds

here. But yeah, so Logan is planning basically just going to get rid of Jerry? Jerry, even Carl or Frank? I think so, a lot of them. There's a few of them.

They're all dead weight to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, like, man, not to be mean here. You're the woman who runs ATN. She is a weird face. Sid. Sid, yeah. Well, she's old, Brian.

She's an elderly lady. That's not like you, James. I think she's a queen and a ball. You're right, Brian. I am in a weird mood. Oh, no. schizophrenia. It is funny sometimes on like, again, like on Twitter and that

you'll have like a random picture like Jerry or like, I mean like, she is slaying in that outfit. It's her just wearing a hat. Yes, Jerry is my idol. Yeah. The only reason I get out of her bed is cause of Jerry. Yeah. She has a weird sex appeal to her though.

You always had that. I don't know what it is. I like older women. I like older women. I like young girl. I like any of them. You don't like me back. You don't like a regular age woman. There's never like a 30 year old It's always like 12 That's just

12 or 93 Yeah That's me Yeah Yeah yeah yeah It's 11 or dot com Yeah Oh menage eto

Mere likie Uh I So Anyway So they're at the wedding Yeah They're

You know Basically have to like Break the news To Connor The dad's not coming Yeah And then you get The phone call

Yeah Have to say now Well, just real quick, Roman did break the news to Jerry that she's getting the boot. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But I think Jerry's still a little bit like,

I'm getting this off Roman. I can still get my, you know, this isn't official, you know, it's just Roman. But it's also, as we're about to find out now,

uh, it never becomes official. Jerry's a real winner in this. Yeah, very much so. She got just under the wire, you know? Just under the wire,

man, just right at the buzzer. He was like, Logan was in the toilet being like, I can't wait to fire her. Let's move. fuck off yeah

one last so he's taken just a big smelly airport dump he's in the mild high club and comes taking

a shit right while Kerry suck in his dick I love Kerry by the way yeah she's only like

what is she meant to be like 30 something yeah yeah and they're they never outright say that they're fucking

oh you think so baby fucking I heard a thing on the oh no no but do you think does the thing of Reddit

where they're like do you think he actually fucks her. Kerry is what calls it. Oh. What caused the heart attack. Because they mentioned... Like, my...

Like, he was actually fucking her. Yeah. Oh. I don't think that's intent. I don't think they actually implied that in the show at all. No, no. Also, people online, they're like, maybe she poisoned him.

Like, in breaking badge. Yeah, I don't... No. She gave him ricin. Yeah. Okay. People online are just looking for anything, you know? Like, I would prefer her if she's never seen again.

I think that'd be quite funny. Last scene is her and Colin is getting shoveled into a... Into a car. Poor Colin, by the way. No, what do you think, by the way, with Logan, his little dinner with Colin? Yeah, it's like... That's when I was thinking, like, maybe Logan isn't going to... Because I thought they were giving Brian Cox lots of really good scenes and that.

Yeah, yeah. I had a sense to, like, even, like, thematically and story-wise, it makes sense to have him die. Right. But I didn't think he was going to die this early. That early, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the thing. It is a total fucking, like, side-swipe. it's beautifully executed

it's very well done because much like death and real life you know you don't see it common and ever it throws everything into disarray it's so

claustrophobic in a way because it's all like one big long take or he appears to be one long take yeah and it's just them like so Logan is in a plane he's lying dead on the floor they're doing CPR

while Tom is ringing the siblings so it's a back and Tom called Shiv twice and she didn't pick up even when he got to the sons he was kind of like Gashiv, Gashiv, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I think Tom still cares about. Oh, absolutely. I think he definitely, he's very, tell you what, he's very good to them in this episode, like, a few times, like, yeah, like, he could have been country or could have done

different things. I thought, yeah, I thought, like, I heard some people say, oh, Tom's the last person I would want calling me in that situation. Like, I thought he, his character handled it quite well. There was, he definitely recognized the emotional weight and he was, you know, kind and considerate. And it was such a crazy, like, he was such a crazy, like, he was. like unprecedented. You don't know how to react your behave in that moment. I think also...

You ever made a phone call like that, Brian? Call someone up and tell them they're dead. Their, love, your husband's dead. They call up like, you're dead, James. It's a weird one. Like scream, is it? See you, you bloody brown bread, you is? James, you're calling from my phone.

Anyway, but yeah, I think it was handled very well. Also, I like the bit, you know, when he calls up cousin Greg then, he's basically like, Oh, the guy who liked you, he's dead now. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah. You guys say it's like, that applies to me also. Yes.

I am on the same level as Greg now. Yeah, he's pretty much he knows he's fucked. But he's already kind of, he's already trying to start make moves. He's like, Greg, I need to go to the office, delete the file that says, big black cock or whatever. I can't remember what it was called. Waystar is going to make some changes. But yeah, so, but Greg's fucked now because he betrayed Shiv. for Logan

Logan's dead so Tom is fucked yeah yeah they're both I actually am interested how they can like keep them in any way

kind of like the drama like is Tom going to take over because there's no there be no there be no real reason for Tom

to take over no um on the fact of the fact that he's more competent but that doesn't really mean anything

in this day and age I love the little cronies don't get that much time we know like Hugo and Carol especially Carl is great and Frank is really good

as well. That whole group of guys. Jerry, yeah. I love that, that inner circle of like, basically it's like we work for the devil. We know he's the devil, but hey, you know, the devil, you know, he's got some good fucking, uh, it's good if you know how to work.

I did love as well, like, so Logan is like dead on the ground, a few steps away from them. They're like, we should do the statement, but make sure you mention that our, like, you know, mention our names in a statement. And of course, this has to reflect how the market will be precarious and insecure. It's like, while, like, some Brazilian flight attendant is, like, still, like, pumping his chest,

breaking his ribs and sternum and puncturing his lungs, going, please, breathe, disalogue, come back to life, please. And they're just over there, it's like, yeah, you know, maybe we'll, yeah, yeah, okay, the points of the back, yes, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, percentage-wise. I also like how Kerry's, like, what's the move now, and it's like, no, you don't apply. Yeah, you're done, love. You can jump out the plane now, alright? You're taking up space. I heard bodies shit themselves when they die, so if you could just keep your mouth open next to his gaping asshole,

that's the only thing you could do for us. Why don't you suck him off one last time, all right? I've always wanted to see that. Come on. Does he get as stiffy when he's dead? We're going to bury you with him like a fair. But it's weird. She comes out, she's like kind of smiling.

people react to grief weird it's obviously a moment of shock like what the fuck this is crazy and they're like yeah okay sweetie the grown-ups are doing work fucking chuckles the clown yeah yeah it's just the contempt they have for her is palpable

I re-watched the episode actually this morning I forgot like a lot happens after he dies like it's the middle chunk he dies and there's a whole other section it's actually like I think it's like 12 minutes in or something where they get the first phone call

and that goes on for like a half hour and then there's like all this stuff it's like another 20 minutes yeah interesting the reaction so like Shiv kind of turns like a like a baby girl basically daddy no by the way just the performance

from the three siblings fucking incredible like this is I think one of the best hours of television I've ever seen in my life I will see and you're looking at me like I'm a fucking dork

but I don't care Brian I think I think it's beautiful and I think it's okay for me I like something. Why do I always have to be, hey dude, that's gay. Suck my dick. Why can't I just like something, Brian? Is that okay?

I'm always like, suck my dick. Why can't someone suck my dick? You know, I'm not just speaking metaphorically. I actually would like it if somebody would suck my dog. I'm always like, you're gay. Why can't I be gay? I'm gay for that pussy, baby. But anyway, yeah, no, it's

fantastic. And people give Jeremy Strong some shit because, you know, he's all being to the metadacting. Yes. He's fucking working for him. Yeah, yeah, but did you, like, because he uses words like dramaturgically, you know, things like that, you know, oh, well, you know, dramaturgically it actually speaks.

Ah, shut up. But also, like, I was reading something where they were like... For my dick, Jeremy Strong. Fuck it! I'm not joking, fucking, fuck at you fucking... Oh, yeah, yeah. be a method actor you're pirate

you're fucking pirate that's such a great speech by the way I love it like so fucking spicy so true it's under the music and all that

it's like that's really like you're ready for like this is brave heart shit and from the died next episode is very funny

you're ready for war yeah but it's weird like it's kind of there were times in the previous two episodes when I'm like this is not very on brand

it feels like something bigs around the corner and it makes sense then oh he fucking dies Not a brand for his character Yeah I was thinking like when he tried To apologize to the kids

In the karaoke bar Like this is like The first kind of like I think Logan's starting Be like I'm old And my kids aren't here I actually don't like this Yes

I'm very You know it's kind of like To quote Gary Shandling He's like Talking about death And he's like How do you know When death's come

And he's like It's like when you're on a long car journey And you're you can just sense that you're getting closer to the destination. It's just something that you kind of feel in your blood that I'm not going to be around for much

longer. Yeah. So he knows the end is coming and he's kids aren't with him. Logan's been sick a lot. Like, episode one, he has a stroke, he's in a coma, you know? For a note, to tell you, he's a fucking, he's a bulldo. He's had a, he's fucking been in a coma, a stroke. He's

gone piss mad at one stage. Like, he's banging hoars. He's not like sitting down be like like Arnold Rothstein, you He's like running around He's getting up on fucking paper and shouting That's for an older fella That's a lot of stress

And also like as he mentioned He is banging the whores James Thank you Brian, thank you yes I have many documents here to prove He is busting a knotts up inside those guts You know the way you love Logan Roy He's a hero Would you be angry if they came out next episode

Like a secret twink appears It's like you know I was the secret He was my lover I just died in your arms I don't know what I'm I don't know where I was going with that but no I don't I wouldn't like that at all Brian

I wouldn't care for it but anyway so yes he's dead now what where do we go from here what happens I had a lot of theories about what could happen and it's all kind of gone to shit now because he's dead and I wasn't expecting that so I don't know what to do it seems like they're going to really lean

into the Scars guard character Yes. From the trailer, there's lots of scenes of him. I want more Mencken. I thought the Manking stuff was the most. They did tease that he's going to come back as well. Yeah, yeah. So I want Cromwell back, so I want to see, you know, his reaction, because they had such a bad relationship. Yeah, they hated each other. Yeah, yeah. So I'd be interesting, like, his relations to that. I'd like to see a little bit more backstory, but I'll tell you what, I do like, we're so used to now, we're in a world where there's so many prequels and sequels and like, you know, people will go,

like, even like the creators of shows will do all these big Reddit A and, you know, ask me anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do all these interviews where it feels like we know everything about everything these days, like everything gets a backstory, even the fucking, the bell and Breaking Bad got backstory, you know, where I do like the fact that with succession,

I feel like we probably won't get, we're not going to get a Logan flashback in Dundee, you know, like him as little kid. We're probably not going to get that. It's going to be just a lot of stuff like we never find out. Like Logan had a, sister.

Yeah. And they mention the fact it upsets him when he hears about her. She died young, right?

Yeah, yeah. And like both the brothers don't like talking about her like probably won't find out

it's just a little thing, you know? Well, that's the thing with especially older relatives, you know, they don't fucking go on

Facebook and rant about their trauma. They keep that shit inside, they die of colon cancer and, you know, everybody goes home

happy. I've been, you have a ham sandwich and a tit-wank in the bathroom and you go home. As the good Lord intended. I tell you, I was like, go off success for a minute.

I was looking at some people recently. And I know some people that every time I check in on them, they've gone more and more insane. Yes. And it's quite interesting. It's almost like edging where the longer you wait for you check in, you're like, oh, my God. Oh, Jesus. So the more depressed they are, the harder you come. Basically, yeah, yeah.

Like, there's one particular I was looking at their, like, instinct. Instagram race I was like, oh my god your life is just over now and you don't even realize it. Oh my God, Jesus. It does cheer you up a bit, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to go back and watch Succession again. I really like, after a

great episode like that, I kind of don't want to go back to the real world. I don't, like, it's kind of depressing like there's other shows out there that aren't Succession. No. I have to go back and watch those like a fool. Yeah. Oh, let's go to the hollow deck with squark and fucking pingling or with

whatever he's called. Yeah, Cisco. That's him. Star Trek doesn't feel that it doesn't hit, hits different now. Well, the thing about that episode in particular and what Succession does so well, it just is so real at times

and so visceral and you're like, holy, like, and a very sort of, like, just a person dying in a TV show is usually, you're usually so immune and desensitized. You don't give a fuck. You're like, yeah, whatever he's dead. In real life, when someone dies,

you have a montage of everyone crying and then like you know I will fix and then like you know and then like the grave slowly and then the next day being like I can't believe that happened but now we can come together

as a family yeah you know like in real life it is just kind of weird like what? Yeah is he dead or not I don't know you're breaking up

is he there is he not there he's brown bread what does that mean I don't speak cockney what's he mean apples and pears Wait, so he fell down the apples and pears, and now he's brown.

I don't understand. Does he have a wheat intolerance, or is he's a gluten? He's a celiac's disease. Is that right? Okay. I don't see how immigrants are to be playing here. Nigel, if you could just, Nigel, could you put your mother back on the phone, please? Yeah, see, there you go.

A little, you get out a lot of phone there. The story right there. Well, yeah, it's just, it's done so well and, you know, it's kind of, because they're, you know, he's, it's weird, he's up and a plane, they're down on the sea, they're very much. And they're also they're kind of trapped, they're on a boat, you know,

they're trapped, I like, I like, you see like, you know, Kendall's falling like, I want to talk to the pilot. Yeah. I can fix this. Yeah, he's, they're like, they think they can just throw money out, it's like, we need the best airplane doctor and the best medicine and fucking Dr. Judith.

And let me talk to the pilot. they're like, do you know when the Dark Night rises when your plane goes up? Where's A.Bugga, where's Aitin' Ginnon? I don't care if he's making the new season of Kinn. It's derivative. Why does he have to whisper every scene? Deliver a line without whispering?

Just once. Give Logan a Bain mask. Like, yeah, they do try and throw money and it doesn't work at all. And it's just very fun. I also like Kendall, because you do forget, like, they are like, you always think they're rich, but they're also like very popular and well-known

and then Kendall's like this is going into all biographies and the documentary everything we do now is like yeah he literally public record it's like we have to remember that from this moment on everything we do and say is how it'll be remembered as how

we acted the day our father died we have to be very careful about the moves we make and they immediately while they haven't even had time to process the fact that he's dead or the grief he's not even they haven't even landed the plane yet They're already going into business mode.

It's like, okay, we got to take ownership of this and, you know, get a handle on it, et cetera, you know? I'm going to look up to summer Redstone guy real quick. So I just want to double check what company is with, Redstone. To be honest, I think that aspect of it in particular, I think, you know, Irish people could identify with that because very much it's, we don't have, obviously, big media conglomerates. What we have here is land, you know? So when a family, when a patriarch dies... So it's kind of like, you know, he's in...

Your father's in the tractor dead. There's a Brazilian woman doing chest compressions on him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's just some whore in the link box. It's like, he wanted me to suck his dick. I didn't know he'd die. The tractor's still circling the field. Should we just driving over to the house?

And we're on a yacht. And a wedding's like, oh, okay, I need the best tractor doctor, the best cow medicine we can get. How will this affect the grain? We need horsy-wormer. I need ivermectin ivies in his cock right now.
