Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, macrodosing listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. What's up and welcome back to extra dosing? This episode is going to be about the recent episode of Succession and probably the whole season as a whole. So spoiler alert. Yeah, tons of spoilers. If you haven't watched Succession, especially the newest episode, do not listen to this. Also, go watch it. Yeah, it's good. Shout out to McKenzie, staying late to help us record this. And it's, as always, the HBO TV show expert, Mad Dog. Hi, I'm back. Yeah, so, I mean, let's just get to it. Yeah. Logan. May he rest in eternal peace.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Yeah. I didn't see it coming. I made you watch them last night to get caught up about this, but I didn't see it coming. I thought, because I was simpleton, that he would die at the series finale and that would kind of be how the show is wrapped up. Now that this has happened, I totally see it. And it's like he had to die now in order for the succession to take place almost. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:23 So I also didn't see it coming on the day of conference. his wedding. I thought this was going to be like a fun, quirky episode where Connor and Willa get married on a boat in the East River. And it's so funny. Like, oh my gosh, he's marrying Willa. Like, I thought it would be a lighthearted episode on Easter nonetheless. And it was pretty much the exact opposite of that. Yeah, Logan Roy is dead. I honestly, I kind of knew, I don't know, this kind of didn't come unexpected to me. Kind of throughout this whole season, I was just like, he has to die. Yeah, I was like, when's he going to die?
Starting point is 00:02:00 Yeah. Because the show is called succession. Yeah. But there's no succession if the king is still alive. Totally. I knew he had to die at some point. I knew that was part of the plan. I just didn't expect it to be thrown in at such an emotional point of the show already in terms of like Conner's getting married.
Starting point is 00:02:15 And they just had this huge discussion in the second episode where they talked to him for the first time since the Italy exchange went down. um it it just i told you guys on monday before we recorded i think it's one of the best pieces of television i've ever watched better than uh harry and bill and frank bill and sally um it's so different i don't want to compare the two because i feel like they're like the last of us in succession i feel like are my children as a show um bill and franks was one-a-one-off episode, so it was interesting to see that from that perspective, and it was emotional in a, some may say, good way. This was a culmination of four seasons of television and took place at such a monumental moment in this last season. So I think this episode of
Starting point is 00:03:16 Succession meant more. Yeah. Honestly, I think it was great how they set it up because, I mean, when he was at the newsroom in episode two, when he was rallying the troops and trying to set a new vision, it really kind of showed, like everyone thought that he had a ton of life left. They're like, this guy just keeps on killing it. He just keeps on being the big boss. And like, you know, when he was trotting around the newsroom, like pacing and, you know, Tom and everybody were getting nervous. And like Greg was just like, everyone was still intimidated by him.
Starting point is 00:03:45 No one would think that a guy who was about to die would still hold that gravitas and just like, like boss man mentality that's just who he i mean that's just who he was till the end and i think i think that again it just leads you jessie armstrong who created the show it just leads you to see his genius because you would never it almost is like a distraction of like he's standing on the paper at n he's you know still in the pgn he's going to sweden for to close the gojo deal And it almost distracts you from the fact where, like, the whole show is about when he dies, what's going to happen. And I think they did a really good job with, like, tricking you into thinking that it wasn't coming. I mean, obviously some people, I'm sure saw it coming.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I was not one of those people. But, oh, my gosh, I was sitting there on my couch, like, with horse blinders on, being like, this is not happening. He's faking it. there's no way this is happening right now it was like it made you feel like you were one of the kids being like there's no way our dad is dying right now yeah like this isn't real like this is also surreal
Starting point is 00:04:54 and they did an excellent job I was talking about it on on the other line with Kelly and she was saying like they made you feel as if you were there with them and experiencing those same emotions very well which I appreciate yeah like when someone dies I thought it was a great depiction of what actually
Starting point is 00:05:13 happens when people die i did too i said the same thing i said this is this is how this is what happens when people die like it's not some emotional like theatrical like and goodbye and he jumps off a bridge like it it's messy and it's unexpected the rug gets pulled out from under you yeah and you what the fuck you are forced to clean up that mess and i just the way that the the kids all immediately reverted back to this child like state um and it's like it's what it is you you don't know how you react in those situations till you're in them um i didn't think that they would all be so emotional when he died obviously it wasn't they didn't see it coming and they're already at kind of like what some may call an emotional event probably not for them but yeah um and that's when the shark started
Starting point is 00:05:59 circling as soon as he died there was almost like a power vacuum immediately where all the non family members started trying to like put out a statement and discluding the children right it was almost like the children lost all their power once he died yeah they're on the plane the body isn't cold and they don't even know if he's dead carolina doesn't even know if he's dead and she's like well we need to draft a statement for the press yeah and again it's it's one of those things too where it's like it's sad that he died i guess i'm sad about it but like one there's so much business tied to this two like this is what happens like you're like the the world doesn't stop spinning when someone dies unfortunately and so you have to
Starting point is 00:06:41 move on in how they know they have to they know they have to respond to this like it's a business decision rather than someone dying you know but every every single second of that show I was not sure what was going to come next who do you think is going to like at this point who do we think is going to be who's going to succeed
Starting point is 00:07:05 who's going to be the successor I so I I've had a couple days to think about it I think it's going to be Roman or Tom really I'm still a team cousin Greg I know you are I think that um I think Shiv is shev wanted to take over because she wanted her dad to want her to take over it was almost like a stamp of approval so I think now that he's gone like I think she'll go back to the politics world that she was in before she started at Waystar in season two I think Kendall's going to kill himself really uh-huh and I can get into that why do you think he's going to go suey because if you think about it he um a lot of what he rested his laurels on revolved in what his father thought about him and so and he said it before like um i forget which episode it was but he he was like i don't know what i would do if dad didn't want me and now that his dad is gone i think that leaves a really big open door for him to fully spiral and
Starting point is 00:08:27 maybe not kill him maybe not kill himself or overdose um i don't i don't think he's going to make it out of the season alive and then i think um connor obviously will not but um and then i think roman one was in cahoots with his dad right before it happened obviously and so i think that has something to do with it like he was already kind of in that mindset and then also with tom tom was obviously basically judas yeah for uh logan so i think that has something going for it, although people I don't think like him on the inside of ATN and Waystar
Starting point is 00:09:04 and so I think I'm leaning more towards Roman over Tom but Tom just kind of has that in right now that the other kids don't. Why do you think Connor's not going to make it out of the season? No, no, no, no, no. I think Connor's just going to go be Connor and try to run for president.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I don't think he's, I think he's going to survive. I think Kendall's going to not make it through the season. So the next upcoming episodes are called Honeymoon State's Kill List living and living plus so kill lists there's definitely
Starting point is 00:09:32 gonna be some deaths or I think that's the will yeah which Kelly was mentioning today too she was like I'm interested to see what the will says and I didn't even think about that yeah I was more literally
Starting point is 00:09:43 just focusing on the business side of it but I'm like what if someone's like completely cut out like what if Connor just doesn't get anything in the will I don't know this is me just spitballing but what's up with Connor his wife. Love her. Queen Willa. Love her. Is she just bag jaser? She was a prostitute. That was
Starting point is 00:10:03 high. Oh, yes. Then, then they, and then he fell in love with her. So that's why she's sticking around. I love her. I think she's playing her cards exactly right. She found a source of, like, or not income, but she found money. And Connor's safe. And Connor will never ever leave her because he knows that he'll never do better and she gets to make her plays she gets to produce her plays and I think she cares for him I think she cares about him
Starting point is 00:10:32 I think she feels bad for him I think she has a level of sympathy for him that other people don't and I just think she's a funny character I love her I also think she's gorgeous you really don't think you could do better honestly if you have that much money
Starting point is 00:10:48 like what? But Connor is just so so so so poorly socially acclimated, that I think no one's going to push back. Like, Willa will never push back on things he wants to do, like the whole running for president thing or whatever. Like, she's not going to challenge him. And I think he likes that about her, is that she is just kind of like his trophy wife.
Starting point is 00:11:13 And why get rid of her? Yeah. Like, she's not doing anything wrong. Yeah. I think Kendall could have a transformation post-death. and actually turn out to be the frontrunner. Like, I think he might shed all of the arts, like all the negative stuff that maybe was caused by the pressure of his father.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Like, he may go through a transformation, feel like a weight has been totally lifted and then end up, you know, I've heard that side of it too. Yeah. Cousin Greg still. You think he's still going to take up? Dark Horse. How do you think he's, I don't think that he's out.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I don't think anyone's out of the count. How do you think he's going to swoop in now? I think that he's going to get propped up. by who by some of the some of the people who like muller muller uh carolmuller yeah that character like that whole group that was like putting together a statement on the plane they might put him like use their power to make him a puppet leader that's most advantageous to them okay because he's a roy he could end up getting the spot and supersede like he's not technically a roy like he's not roy by last name's Last name's Hirsch.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Oh, yes. But it is family. Like, for example, they may manipulate the will and be like, everything goes to Greg. Yeah. I don't think anyone's out of it. I think Jerry, even though, which I think is nuts that they try to get rid of her. I love Jerry. I also ran into her to Trader Joe's a couple weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Oh, nice. Yeah. I think Jerry has done everything she could and more for that company. And I think she would be a logical. Good choice. I don't know if she wants to take on that role, though, at this point, because I know she did in the earlier seasons, but I don't know if she still wants to take on, like, the shit show that is happening. Also, do you think the Gojo deal is going to still go through? Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Because I think Matt's in, I think Matt's in now with the stocks plummeting. Yeah. After they heard about the death. How do they not short the stock? The kids? Yeah. Isn't that illegal? I feel like knowing someone died.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I feel like that's insider trading a little bit. But like it's family. I also feel like... Is that illegal? Is that? Look that up. If someone dies, can you? Actually, let's ask chat CBT. I got a tip from some of the viewers that I could chat CBT.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Knows everything. This is how we should be using it. Like for these far out there questions. Like, is it because you can't find a good answer. It would actually be way better for the podcast, get way better succinct answers. okay like for when I'm doing all this stuff let me try it oh damn it okay
Starting point is 00:13:55 something went wrong okay chat chit is chat chbitsy just a website like how do you use it I think so is it I've never used it I didn't know that people like people genuinely use it Billy yeah Billy is no yeah and like other people that work here
Starting point is 00:14:13 yeah it's such a tool I haven't never logged on to it I should start using I just didn't even know that I don't even know what I would ask it no what I say to it but you can like Enrique was telling me he had like something he needed to write like he didn't have it write it for him but he wrote it and then it like spell checked and like it's like grammar yeah that that's what I would have used a thousand like simple things yeah I like just didn't realize that that was a thing I I've never logged on to it and I have noticed I just don't even know what I'd do with it it'd probably very beneficial in some aspects yeah but I'm not I'm not even smart enough to
Starting point is 00:14:47 know what I could do with it to make it smarter for me. Right, exactly. Same. Leave it to Billy. Yeah. Okay. So let's see what Chad CBT has to say. Would it be illegal if your father was the CEO and founder of a publicly traded company and you shorted the stock when he died and only you knew. Yes, it would likely be illegal if you shored the stock of a publicly traded company based on insider information you obtained as a result of your father's position. No, but he's dead. no but yeah that would still be insider trading i'm not literally could the roy's have shorted waste our stock we're saying after he died or you knew he was going to die you knew he was going
Starting point is 00:15:29 to die or he was dead on the plane yeah so it's illegal yeah that's just inside information yeah yeah i know but even if it's like nothing to do with the company but just someone it is the company it's the whole company cool okay it is the company he is the company this these are things you have to know because you know because billy may be shorting stock sometimes yeah but yeah but i i i the the the gojo deal again you you were a business guy in college i was not so this probably makes a little bit more sense to you than it does to me i don't know how the gojo deal goes through if it does in the same manner however much money that that was supposed to sell for just because of the stock price is falling and he's dead well if the stock price is falling some like a lot of the
Starting point is 00:16:22 because mergers and acquisition banks give loans to buy the company and they back those loans with this like with stock okay uh so you know they may not be able to have the like collateral to buy the company anymore gojo I'm going to be honest this is a part of of the plot that I sort of glossed over. Yeah. ATN's buying Gojo? Gojo's buying Gojo's buying Oathsar and then ATN is in that umbrella. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And the owner, the CEO of ATN. Alexander Scarsgaard who plays Luke Mattson. And Kendall Roy's position. That blonde douchebag. Yeah. He was sick in The Northman. I didn't see that. But he's a really great.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I mean, his whole family are like great actors. Oh, man. That was an awesome movie. I wish we did a podcast on the Northman. What's the Northman? It's him just being a beast. And it's just like... Doing what?
Starting point is 00:17:24 It's Hamlet. An American epic historical action thriller, there's a lot of words. Thriller film directed by Robert Eggers, who co-wrote. It's like the Lion King. Prince Amleth is on the verge of becoming a man when his father is brutally murdered by his uncle who kidnaps the boy's mother. Oh, that is the Lion King? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Which isn't the... Isn't Lion King based Hamlet? Yeah. Two decades later, Amleth is now a Viking who raids Slavic villages. He soon meets a Cirrus who reminds me of his vow, save his mother, kill his uncle, avenge his father. This is literally Hamlet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:56 So honestly, let's just make this a Northman podcast. So it's really awesome because they have a sick depiction of berserkers and there were these Viking warriors. Wait, that's him and that? Holy shit. Yeah, dude, he's a beast. Are those his real abs, you think? Yeah, I think they definitely all juiced up for it. And, like, they had this insane kind of homoerotic battle on the top of Volcano naked with swords.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah, they were naked. I don't know why they got naked, but it made it cooler, kind of. Yeah. Just like, because they were killing each other. Oh, Willem DeFoe isn't it? Yeah. I love him. Oh, Nicole Kidman's in it?
Starting point is 00:18:30 How have I got heard of this? Anya Taylor Joy? We should just watch it and do it next extra dose. This does not seem like a movie I didn't enjoy. Yeah, I don't know. There's, there's queens and princesses. The Northman? And, but it's really cool.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Then he, like, battles a druid and a boat. He kind of looks like Jesus. Yeah, he does. But he's a Viking. Yeah, and he gets kidnapped. And he's like, yeah, it's with, it's so cool. And then, like, his, his, like, his, like, his, like, his bride, he, like, captures her as a prisoner and makes him her his bride. But then he does.
Starting point is 00:19:01 This is literally Hamlet. It is Hamlet. Right. And then he, like, he gets, uh, he gets his kind of wife pregnant. I think he's not a wife. Like, the slave girl. The lady. up pregnant and then he dies but like he lives on because she
Starting point is 00:19:15 yeah but she didn't know she was pregnant when it happened oh shit yeah it was pretty wild okay yeah and then he like kind of like can communicate with wolves and he might turn into one low key but it's like kind of it's kind of like implied that he turns into a wolf yeah wow it's pretty cool wow well starts howling at the moon well in this in this show he's a douchebag that wears Patagonia. Yeah, the Swedish have kind of traversed from Viking warriors to douchebag fintech people. Yeah, I hate, I mean, I hate his character in the show. I think he's just a dick.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Is he Swedish in the show? I think he's supposed to be like a Scandinavian. Yeah, he's Swedish because they're flying to Sweden. Yeah, yeah. I always get those like Scandinavian countries kind of mixed up. Yeah. Finland is really different than the other ones. Why?
Starting point is 00:20:07 Why? like a language cultural perspective. Okay. They're like the odd man out. Interesting. They're actually Finland's closer to Hungary in terms of language than Swedish or Norwegian. Totally different.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Pretty cool. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's out there. Okay, back to this. Have you been to any of those places? No, but I want to go. I can see you going there. Well, actually, I was in Denmark.
Starting point is 00:20:35 and I'm kind of banned from Denmark. What? Why? So it's the whole thing. What do you mean? It had to do with the... Anyway, it's not that bad. I just have a ticket and I never paid it.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Oh, so now you have like that. So you banned yourself so you don't have to pay it. Like, okay, you know, it was probably like 60 bucks, but I was just like, I'm not going back to Denmark. Honestly, fair. I would like, if I one time went to, I went to school like by Cornell and my friend got a parking ticket. and will we, from Ithaca, we went to Cornell and we parked there and we got a parting day and we're like, we don't go to school there. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:12 They're just never going to, like, we'll just never park there again. That's true. They can't find you. Which is probably stupid, but I don't think we paid it. It would be cool to go to other countries and commit like small crimes. No. They just never go back. No.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Like, nothing like bad. Like the ticket thing is funny because like, open container. Seriously, if you don't go back, you'll just never have to pay that $60. That's true. true you can't get an open container a lot of those countries because you can drink on the street true that's well yeah yeah they just don't care they booze hard yeah yeah in denmark it was literally crazy like you just see like random Danish people just passed out on the street really but they were like well dressed like in the middle of the day no no not in the day like at night going out yeah
Starting point is 00:21:59 it was like it more looked like a college drinking situation then it was why they're like fully grown adults. And they're all just like chugging vodka and like dressed really well with this like crazy like they all look like Lannisters. And then you just see like this dude with like super blonde hair like dressed nice just passed out on the side of the road. And it's just like dude like what? But they have no crime so it doesn't matter. I don't think they yeah I don't think they have a reason to commit crime over there. Like they just don't see very healthy. Yeah. I don't know if they're that happy. Really? Happy people don't drink that heavily. I think there's like a cold
Starting point is 00:22:36 Or is that the culture though Yeah I don't know Well you'll never know Because you can't go back Watch me like go back with like Like a family I'm like family
Starting point is 00:22:48 Right like your wife and kids You're on like a European getaway My wife's like oh like let's go to Denmark I'm like I don't know about Denmark I really want to go to Denmark I don't know about Denmark What's like a major city in Denmark? Copenhagen
Starting point is 00:23:00 Copenhagen And you just don't want to admit Yeah I really want to go to It was $60. And then like you... Also, would they really know? They might.
Starting point is 00:23:08 And then you step back and like... What's Denmark? Then you just get arrested on the spot. Like, ah. They're like, we've been waiting for you. Yeah. They had like your name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Oh, Denmark's population is only 5 million. They'd know. Yeah, they would know. They're like, we've, our records. Our record show. You think you could know. The second you go through customs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:26 And also... Your wife's like, this is why you didn't want to go to Denver? Right. She's like, why don't you just pay it a $60. Because I couldn't figure out of it to pay it when I got home. I always like, it's crazy to me
Starting point is 00:23:37 that these countries in, like, is that technically Scandinavia? Yeah. Are so little. Sweden only has 10 million. Ohio has 11 million people in the whole state. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Sweden has 10 million. That's why their social, that's why their socialism works. Yeah. Because there's not a mess as much people. And also it's such a homogenous nation that like you feel like you're paying for your neighbor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Because, because they're like states. They're all culturally the same. Whereas, like, if you people here, like, everyone there, you know, they think they're upstanding people because they're like, yeah. Oh, my neighbors. I'm looking out for people. They're equal, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Right. They're all kind of related, basically. Right. Like, where it's like New York versus Alabama versus New Mexico, like, those are all different places in our brains. Like, a Texan does want to pay for, you know, a Californian. Like, there's Californians. You're smoking weed.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Like, why do I have to pay their medical bills? Yeah, there's a different culture. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What are you going to say? Like, oh, the eastern. Danish people
Starting point is 00:24:34 Yeah Yeah Yeah right There's no distinction Yeah you can't really You can't really like tie them down They're all one people Yeah
Starting point is 00:24:41 But that's starting to change a little bit Because of mass migration Are people migrating there? Yeah Interesting And then they're like We don't want to pay for that I think that
Starting point is 00:24:51 I don't know We're getting into conspiracies No But like Copenhagen only has 6002,000 people living in it Yeah That's crazy Which
Starting point is 00:24:59 It's like That's like Columbus has more than that. Again, I don't know why I'm like centering towards Ohio here. Yeah. No, but still. I also realize that Boston doesn't have that many people living in it. No.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Because I was there this weekend and. A lot of short guys. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That, they were so upset. They were really upset. Well, the thing is, be taller. A lot of them are still, like, if you ripped on any other city, people would probably
Starting point is 00:25:25 laugh with you, but that's like the core demographic. That's literally, I Viva a bit too close to the sun. Yeah, you did. They got mad. Yeah, they got mad Which I didn't say anything What did you see For those who didn't see the tweet
Starting point is 00:25:39 Oh yeah For those who aren't following me on Twitter Yeah I tweeted I was so yeah First of all follow me No But I tweeted that I was in Boston for the weekend And that the only thing to do in Boston
Starting point is 00:25:50 Is wear your college Your Boston College affiliated sweatshirt And be under 510 I did not also Specifically say men I just said people in general That's true The girls are short too
Starting point is 00:26:01 yeah sure sure but I also joke can anyone take some jokes in here um not men the men the men came for me which I get I guess what's it called Napoleon like Napoleon complex complex yeah um no that was tough that was a tough one I had to I had to do some internal reflection like a lot of the times I was talking to my roommates about that when I got home and I was like yeah like a lot of the times like those like you know people are meeting me on the internet doesn't bother me that much like you know, you got to, if you, if you, if you dish it, if you dish it. If you dish it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Like if, if, when they all come at the same time. And they're like kind of coming for things. It's like, army. Yeah. And they're like, you're fat. I'm like, God damn it. It's like, like, what am I supposed to say? And I, I, I, yeah, no.

A little bit, I was like, also, who's taking that seriously? If you, right, interactions and interactions. If you, if you, if you, I want to be so real, if you follow me on Twitter and you saw that tweet and you thought I was serious, I want you to take a look in the mirror and like,

I go, oh, do you think I almost responded and be like, well, I am humble to admit that I wouldn't win. I'd get third. Yeah. You know what's, uh, people were, people were very mad. That and, that and they got mad that I reviewed air, the movie with a sleigh, a sleigh out of 10. When I, when I was, when I was breaking out with acne, people just kept sending me acutane links and like products. And then being like, are you on drugs now? Like, why, like, why do you look
Starting point is 00:27:59 like I had like meth face I'm like oh shit no it's like hard when like when it's like true what they're saying that's not the true part I'm not on drugs no no no but like coming for your acne like yes that's kind of mean you're fat
Starting point is 00:28:15 I'm like I'm sorry I'm insecure honestly it kind of hurt it was weird because I never had that bad acne growing up so like for the first time ever bro I made a TikTok about this Yeah, I was going to say that. Yeah, it was like an insecurity that I'd never, like, learned to deal with.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Yeah. No, Billy, you literally saying. Um, yeah. So, like, because usually, usually what, like, people diss you on the internet for if it's, like, something, it's something you've already dealt with, like, growing up. Right. You're like, oh, yeah. It's like when people call you four eyes growing up, like, yeah, you would do that. Or it's, like, so silly that you're like, okay, why would this even bother me?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Right. Like, yeah, I mispronounce words because I read them. Like, I've been doing that since day one. Yeah. Like, that's not going to, that's not going to be the one that, like, is the camel that broke the straws back. Like, hey, I had, I have acne for the first, like, really, really bad acne for the first time ever. Like, shit. Like, you're like, I'm like, shit. I work out, like, every day. I'm like, I'm trying to be healthy. And I'm like, fuck. And they're still calling me. Should I wear makeup? Yeah. Like, should I get cover up? This is an inside look at what it goes. Like, when people, like, send us hate comments. This is what happens. Yeah. This is therapy. This is what the extra ghost really is. Just us talking about people being mean to us on the internet. you know who really tried to get into it it was really funny white sox dave to you no to donnie acne no no no donnie and white talks dave go to uh oh the dominican public yeah like they were drinking it in a white talk say it was like people think i'm a fucking idiot online no he's like people think
Starting point is 00:29:49 i'm dumb but like i'm not that dumb like i've accomplished a lot i am an idiot and i was like what the fuck is the just like you're not helping your case you're not having your case you're right yeah Yeah. Yeah, that's, which I feel like sometimes I'm so, I'm so behind the scenes that like people, I get one hate comment. I'm like, oh, this makes me sad. You, I feel like you have, you. But honestly, if you're getting hate comments is kind of like, oh, I don't like, people like me enough to hate me. People like me enough to hate me. Well, the thing is that if you look at like the numbers, like if there's a pie chart of all the people who've consumed your content. Yeah. And then the sliver, that's like your vocal haters who slide into. DMs is like nowhere close to the majority. They're actually a minority. And that most happy people just consume the comment. And then keep on and like laugh and whatever. I always thought it was funny when I would like when I would do like my voiceovers like my little TikToks, people would be like, I don't get this. Like it's not funny. Like you're just taking the conduct, blah, blah, blah. And then like other
Starting point is 00:30:50 people that I don't know would like come to my defend you. And they'll be like, it's so funny because I'm like, I don't even know these people. And they're like coming to my defense. before like I would never say anything because I don't really care no but like and again I never said my things are funny I just do them for fun so I'm like why would I care but like people just random people that I don't know they're like they're like dude can't you just take take the content or like unfollow and move on like it's so nice that I know random people will come to you shout out to you if you're defending people on the internet like people will do that to me sometimes or it's like bro like she doesn't deserve that I'm like right yeah oh my god yeah thanks like I really appreciate you
Starting point is 00:31:26 today. No, I know. It's like, yeah, when that would start happening, it would be so funny because I'm like, why, first of all, why people care enough to even comment on this? Also, your stuff is so harmless. Exactly. And I never was like, oh, like, I'm doing content. Yeah. I'm just like, oh, I just did this for fun. And it helped me get a job. So exactly. Like, that's why we're sitting here today together. Right. Exactly. I know. Crazy. Yeah. But, yes, that's what we just needed to get hard. But it's just a little therapy. You worked at MLB before this? Yeah, MLB Network. Billy and I have never had real jobs. I had jobs. I've actually had a lot of jobs, but the thing is I get scared sometimes because I'm like, holy fuck.
Starting point is 00:32:11 You're a line in captivity. Could I survive in the wild? No. Yeah. MLB Network was also like I was working in TV so it wasn't really like, it wasn't like super professional. I mean, it was definitely professional,
Starting point is 00:32:23 more like corporate work than like, job than this but the work was like I was editing like baseball highlight so it wasn't and like working till like three in the morning yeah that's I was a really good lifeguard I can totally see that I can picture you being in like bay watch yeah like with the red shorts and the the like hot dog thing that people run with yes the life saving thing I was really good at I have three saves you have three saves wow some of them but some of them aren't like real safe is that like a pool you count yeah No, this is actually at a beach. A Bayside dock.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Okay. Same dock I met Jerry. She taught me how to smoke meats. Is that in the city? No. Oh, okay. No, no. I was to say that'd be a crazy, like, wait for you life for.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Saves are, you know. Just getting people out of the pool? No, no. It was a beach. So like one time, like a grandma. It was like a base, like one time a grandma fell asleep while floating. Oh, okay. And I said, excuse me miss.
Starting point is 00:33:26 excuse me miss because she was just like out yeah yeah you could tell and she wasn't responding and i was like oh shit so i jumped in the water and as soon as i jumped in the water uh and started swimming out to her i like because she was floating away kind of she like got all startled and woke up are you counting that as a safe yeah yeah i mean yeah i would yeah because like i saved her from floating away people Another save A kid hit his head Oh no
Starting point is 00:33:55 Getting out of a boat And The boat He had his head In the boat They didn't realize That the kid had fallen out The boat
Starting point is 00:34:03 Oh my god It was out of the swim areas That's a real one Yeah And the kid was like I jumped in Grab them But like no one was like
Starting point is 00:34:09 Unconscious But still That's a save I'm counting that Is a save Yeah definitely And then my last save What the hell's my last save?
Starting point is 00:34:19 I think my last save was oh no it was a woman a woman fell down the stairs into the water oh save and then she was like oh my back
Starting point is 00:34:33 and I had to like jump in there and help her out oh no I'm counting those I'm counting those they're not like that like dramatic no but I feel like I feel like it's also very rare
Starting point is 00:34:45 like knock on wood that people are like drowning all the time so like how many opportunities are there really for like genuine like i worked at that that doc but i also worked at a pool club and that was that was hard why well the thing was like i'm i get hypervigilant like i obsessed like obsessively like check my surroundings sometimes the trump the trump rally was like like that really was freaking me out because i thought like that one dude do you see the video yeah that dude is creepy's fuck um I'm really glad we didn't go with you.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Yeah, but I was just like, is there like something bad going to have it? Like, I don't know. So I would constantly just like, it would get to the point where there's sometimes be like 40 people in the pool and I'd be constantly counting heads. You have to, yeah. Because you'd hear this stories about like a kid would go missing and the parents wouldn't even know. And then later that day they'd be like, we can't find our kid.
Starting point is 00:35:44 He was playing. Like, you know, he usually goes off and swims. And like, turns out. at the end of the day, everyone gets out of the pool and there's a body in the bottom of the pool which is passed out.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Yeah, terrifying stories. While you were working? No, no, not while I was working, but you hear these stories in lifeguard training. And that was like my worst nightmare, like being on duty when like a kid just like, kid's body like slips to the bottom of this
Starting point is 00:36:08 and you can't see over all the people. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's scary. To add to my dad's lore on this show, he's saved three lives just in his day to day. Oh, my God. what?
Starting point is 00:36:20 One of them was at a Christmas party and a guy had a heart attack and was like dead and my dad did CPR. Do you break his ribs? I don't know. Another one was he saved. He watched like a car, him and my mom were in the car and an old lady in front of them got into like a car accident and she couldn't get out of the car herself. And so my dad had to like rip out of the car.
Starting point is 00:36:48 car exploded like 10 seconds later oh my god uh-huh and then the third one i can't remember what the third one was but it was something similar where he was like kind of right place right time and maybe someone like the he'm like something like that but he saved three lives that's crazy yeah so adding to my my dad dog file on this show happy birthday by the Happy late birthday, Dad. Yeah, but yeah. Have you guys saved it? I've never saved a life, actually.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I could probably not even save my own if I was nine. My presence is a lifesaver, but not in a real way. One time this, like my cousin, like distant cousin at Family Reunion almost fell into the bonfire. Oh, that's scary. And I grabbed them. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Or some other, I have more stories like this.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Like, how do you have? I think that's a guy thing because I don't know. I don't think I've ever been in a situation I've never put myself in a situation Or also if I was I would not be the person that would take charge I'd become a pussy I'd be like oh my god
Starting point is 00:37:57 I was at a boat tie-up and one of my friend's fathers because there's boat every I think of boat tie-ups Like when like you kind of like You're on the water Yeah he fell in between the boats Oh that's scary
Starting point is 00:38:12 He fell in between the boats Because they weren't tied up And he like slipped And I grabbed them I pulled them out. Nice. And we don't really talk about it, but like he could have gotten smashed. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:23 That's terrifying. Yeah. That's scary. But no, I don't. It was one of those things where I literally did like a quick deadlift of this like 200 pound man. Right. Your instincts just kicked in. Yeah, it's like when it's like dad's strength or like adrenaline.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Yeah. But like think about if someone else was standing close to him who like couldn't have pulled them out. Right. That's like, I don't know. It's just freaky. No, you're also like a big guy. Yeah. when you get like when you get like you know anxiety like people are just naturally anxious yeah
Starting point is 00:38:51 like those like in those moments like it seems like slower yeah yeah yeah but anyway none of us were able to save Logan roy no they weren't even able to save him on the plane um how did he die he was just old he had a well it's not like confirmed he had like a heart attack or a stroke or something um on the private plane's bathroom oh no oh on the toilet yeah like Elvis yeah that's tough hi hey oh hang come here hey come here did you watch Succession did you watch Succession no why not yeah yeah well then don't stay in here do you need anything have you saved any lives yeah he saved your life yeah he did um no but he had like like an old man like heart attack stroke something of that effect and then um they like there were like
Starting point is 00:39:46 like the flight attendants on the plane were trying to give him CPR. Oh, he didn't work out. It made me want to call my dad. Oh, that's nice. She's like,
Starting point is 00:39:54 I don't know. Like, you okay? You good? You all good? Really? Are you exercising? Yeah. Are you eating heart healthy foods?
Starting point is 00:40:03 No, but I do think it's crazy. Or not crazy. I don't think that's the right word. Very realistic. Like, he did not have a ceremonious death at all. And he just went. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:15 And I think Tom, I think that was one of Tom's best performances, not even as an actor, but as his character being like, he is, I don't think any of them are good people, but like him calling them and putting the phone up to their ear.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Like, I think he was very empathetic in that situation. And then when he was like trying to comfort Shiv, I also think they're going to have a moment where they try to get back together real quick. Yeah. Or not get divorced, I guess. Shib's single.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Shiv is single for the summer. That move of hiring all the lawyers in New York, it's pretty wild. So I listened to the podcast episode associated with this, obviously. And the one from last week, they had a celebrity divorce lawyer on to talk about that and see if that was a real thing. And they said that a lot of high profile, like divorce partners or law firms won't do that unless you have a very sound case as to why you want to do that. Like, you'll have to schedule a meeting. You'll have to explain why you'd think that. they should be conflict out.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Like, you, you can't just, like, call and be, like, don't represent my ex-wife. Like, there needs to be a bit more umph behind that. I thought they took it, that he put them all on retainer. Yeah, but, like, you have to, I think, make that known. Huh. So to other law firms, like, like, you can't just do that. You can't just put everyone on retainer. I mean, you would cost a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:41:41 You can't, as a normal person, like, that would cost thousands and millions of dollars. but it has been done wow that's what she said she said in like very high profile cases like huge no rich Bill Gates Bill Gates maybe legally could you do it or that just some firms
Starting point is 00:41:58 I mean I think there's nothing illegal about it I feel like some firms is that like tampering no if the money's right like if Bill Gates is thrown around like millions of billions of dollars because he would spend billion dollars trying to make sure his divorce goes cleanly yeah but i think that that did happen and again i hope i never have to go through a divorce but i just
Starting point is 00:42:20 that's that seems like a guy would rather just like get it clean unless my husband like fucks me over on something but i'd rather just be like let's yes if you're going scorched earth oh my god i saw this one video of this uh this girl cheated on her boyfriend and the boyfriend paid for the flooring in whatever house they were living and he just had the flooring ripped up. Oh my God. My mom's friend did that. That exact thing?
Starting point is 00:42:50 It was like similar to that but it was like the paint on the walls and he like cheated on her and I think it was like I forget what the situation was but it was something like that or like they lived in the house together and like while he was gone she just like got the walls painted like just
Starting point is 00:43:06 crazy ass colors that like nobody would have like wanted. So, like, similar to the flooring, but just like the walls. That's so good. I think that's so funny. What's the craziest cheating, like, a way of, like, someone's gone back on a cheater? She's heard of. I mean, killing.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Yeah. Oh, gosh. I mean, I don't know anyone that's done that, but. No, but, like, that's the crazy thing you probably could do. I don't know. I don't, yeah, like, I feel like I'm, like, hooking up with their best friend or something, but that's just like... I heard a story of a guy
Starting point is 00:43:43 took his ex's dog to his shelter. Oh, can you imagine if that happened to you belly? That's fucked up. Yeah. No, that's worse than murder. Yeah, but they,
Starting point is 00:43:58 the other person cheated. Well, right, but still. Why wouldn't you just keep the dog? Why would you just, yeah, that's your dog? No, because then the shoot, like, it was his, their dog and in order
Starting point is 00:44:13 it was something about to gain custody he had to make sure the dog was abandoned oh oh so did he get it back yeah then he adopted oh okay okay I thought you meant he was just like but that's what he told he didn't tell her that oh okay okay well that's fair then but she thought was like oh my god
Starting point is 00:44:30 right right right yeah yeah that's good payback actually as long as the dog's okay yeah I don't really care about anyone else but the dog I don't know I like I feel like we're all so young that I don't have a ton of like people I know in my life that have been like cheated on and had to like go to extreme lengths to get them back yeah like it had been like their college boyfriend shoot on them it's like okay just I hope he like chokes right yeah but I don't I don't know a ton of people who are like going through that yet or it's such a advanced degree of separation that no I'm getting at that age though Billy I don't I know you're at
Starting point is 00:45:07 this stage, Mackenzie, because you go to weddings, like, every day. But I'm at that age where people are starting to get engaged and married all around me. And it's, it is reminding me of my own mortality. Really? Are you seeing? I know you're my age. A lot of, to be fair, though, a lot of the weddings, like, that I've gone, I've only been to, like, two of, like, my friend weddings. Okay. Like, the rest are, like, I have, like, 25 cousins. So, like, a lot of them's like cousins and like family friends and stuff um but yeah it's i'm like i feel like i'm not there yet with my friends but i'm like getting close i like know some of them are coming they're coming the engagements like it's none of my close friends but i feel like every day i look on instagram
Starting point is 00:45:54 and someone's getting engaged or i'll like see like people from my high school that like i'm still friends with on facebook or something and they're like pregnant and i'm like oh my god like i'll text my friends and be like oh my god did you see so and so was pregnant and it's like oh wait they actually meant to yeah like that's not a surprise we're old enough yeah oh I'm oh my god no I also think it's the Midwest and you like people like yeah yeah like you guys are both from around like the East Coast yeah upstate New York is like Midwest yeah I say I think upstate New York's the Midwest it has been best vibes yeah I also think yeah but I it is starting to scare me when
Starting point is 00:46:33 Where is upstate upstate to you? I think it's like Albany, which is where. Really? So you think Duchess in Putnam County? Yeah, no. That's downstate? Where is that, though? It's like north of westchester. Like Poughkeepsie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Yeah, Poughkeepsie's not like upstate, I wouldn't say. Wow. I know a lot of people that say Poughkeepsie's upstate. Because you're from down here. Yeah. Like people that live on Long Island are like, Like, oh, or like any, like, West, people say West Chester or something, like, I don't really care. My friend actually had a real, a girl I went to college was had like a super viral tweet where she's like, okay, here's what it is. And it was like up to Albany or like Albany and Up was upstate.
Starting point is 00:47:17 But then like, but there's a whole thing because like Buffalo's not upstate technically. It's like Western New York. And then like that's a whole. But like that's for people who live in New York. Like I'm from upstate and I also went to college in Ithaca and like know about and like live in New York City. now. So it's like way different, but I don't care if people are like, oh, it's upstate. Buffalo's west New York. Western New York, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:39 But you could still like, but like, yeah, like someone from Ohio, like I would say Buffalo is upstate. Like, that's fine because it's like, why would you care? Buffalo's so close to me that we know it as Western New York because it's like literally Buffalo's probably. Buffalo's closer to you than like Buffalo's five hours from Albany. And there's like no. Buffalo is like two and a half. Yeah. If you're out from Buffalo is the Midwest. Buffalo is totally the West. Buffalo is Midwest.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Like it's Lake Region. Yeah. It's on Lake Erie. Yeah. Is Pennsylvania the Midwest? It's like different though. Appalachia. Is Pittsburgh?
Starting point is 00:48:15 Like Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh does not have Midwest Fives. No. Pittsburgh is Appalachia. And then Philly is East Coast. Yes. Philly's like New Jersey basically. It's kind of splits.
Starting point is 00:48:25 And then the middle of Pennsylvania is, who knows? Who knows? Trees. Yeah. Dude, I forget how big Pennsylvania is. And then Penn State. It's four hours. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:36 So whenever I'm driving cross country, the four hours in Pennsylvania are like, I think not the worst, but the, because, you know, the, the plains region and like the cornfields is almost novel to me, like all that big country when you get out west. Yeah. But Pennsylvania, to me, could be upstate New York, could be. Yeah, you wouldn't know. But then once you get through Pennsylvania, you hit, you. Youngstown, Ohio. Then you get to Ohio. Shout out. You know, all the amazing rest stops.
Starting point is 00:49:06 No, I was driving. I know. I was driving there one time and it was like left on like a random Wednesday night and we were going to just like drive overnight and it was like, we stopped at the first rest stop pouring rain. So we had to like wait a little bit. We try, it was like on whatever that road is like through Pennsylvania to get to Ohio. Stopped at every, well, stopped at three hotels. they were all booked and then the what like one of the hotels gave us a list of all the hotels along that highway oh that all of them were booked like it was the craziest thing i was like what is going on in pennsylvania that all of these hotels were booked like we just had to drive through the rain and like through the night because we literally could not stop at any hotel yeah i was like what is going on
Starting point is 00:49:50 in pennsylvania that all these hotels are broke it's it's it's um not what's the word i'm thinking of the population is not dense Oh, it's sparsely pop. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Can you say that? I mean, besides like Pittsburgh and Philly.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yeah. Then there's a, I mean, it's definitely, is it the, not the Adirondacks? Where did Coburgerger get arrested? Pennsylvania. Yeah. The Adironics is in New York. Oh, no. I'm thinking of the Poconos.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yeah. Poconos, yeah. Yeah. Because those, the Poconos are also in New York. The Pocono Mountains. Okay. Right? Poconos home. Yep. Poconos.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Poconos. Region in Pennsylvania. So that was where they got Cobra in that area. There was also a killer on the loose there too. Wait, is it, am I crazy or is it not in New York at all? What, the Poconos? The Poconos. That's a new thing to figure out.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Oh, no, it's all in Pennsylvania. It's not. Yeah, I don't think it is. What? Why did I think there was a little Poconos in New York? No, it's pretty far, actually. Anyway, it's a little bit on the border. Yeah, no, yeah, it's definitely on the border. Yeah, but, yeah, where this, so Midwesterners is, would you consider the Dakotas the Midwest?
Starting point is 00:51:16 No. That's like north. Yeah, that's not the Midwest, I don't think. Is Missouri the Midwest? Yeah, I think so. Like, because, like, St. Louis exists there, and I think that St. Louis gives Midwestern vibes. The thing that throws me off about Missouri, also, I don't think I've ever been to Missouri, but is that Missou is in the SEC. That, and not the Big Ten, that throws me off.
Starting point is 00:51:45 You know? Yeah. Yeah. But where is Missou? Is it in Springfield? Columbia, Missouri. Oh, yeah. And that's pretty north.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Iowa. Midwest. Midwest. Yeah. Corn. It's honestly, like, you're. you're saying it's more about like the vibes of the people than it is like because like you could say upstate New York is like up up state New York is Midwestern vibes not Westchester
Starting point is 00:52:08 yeah totally but Dutchess Dutchess in Putnam County are actually pretty downstate I don't know what I mean but the thing is okay so Pittsburgh is more mid is closer to the Midwest than Buffalo in terms of distance in terms of location yeah But Pittsburgh, you'd say, is more Appalachia, Appalachia. I think so. I've spent a lot of time in Western Pennsylvania based on vibes. They have their own lingo. They say yins.
Starting point is 00:52:44 They have an accent that I can't quite nail. Yeah, I think, and I think also, like, from talking with, like, KB and Nick, who are actually from the Appalachia, like, region, I think. the way that they talk about West Virginia and the way the Pittsburgh is in my brain I think like our Western Pennsylvania is similar. You know what's also Midwest?
Starting point is 00:53:09 The West Coast of Florida. No. Do you mean like Tallahassee? I'm joking. Florida's I was saying about that the other day. Florida's not the south either though. Like Florida's Florida. Right. Yeah. Like Florida. The East Coast of Florida is way more East Coast and the
Starting point is 00:53:25 west coast of Florida is all Midwesterners. That's what I've realized. Like where the parents retire. Yeah. East Coast. East Coast of Florida is East Coasters. West Coast of Florida is Midwesterners. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Cleveland has one beach town in Florida that every single person that I was at like two months ago, but like every single person in Cleveland goes to and spends spring break out, all their parents buy a house there once their kids leave the house. And then they all retire. They have Culvers in on the West Coast of Florida. Oh, that means something. That means something. That's like the indication.
Starting point is 00:53:57 But that's also, it's like, it's like, the culture has moved. It's like, okay, well, we have to appease these fat Midwesterners. People are already here. You have these people eating fucking eating cheese curds in 90 degree weather. They can only take so much tilapia. Like, they have to have a cheese curd as well. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:14 No, I. That's funny. But, um, succession. Yeah. RIP. Where are they New Yorkers? Yes. Where are the succession people from?
Starting point is 00:54:26 New York. They're city kids. They're a city kids. It could have been you, Billy. Where do they go in Florida? They don't go to Florida. They go to Italy. They go to Lake Como and...
Starting point is 00:54:36 They could not be caught dead in Florida. Maybe Miami with a ton of Coke. Well, they were in Miami. Or, yeah, they were in Miami episode one. Of this season? Yeah, weren't they doing tech stuff? No, they were in L.A. Oh.
Starting point is 00:54:53 But close. Yeah. Warm. but I'm to bring this back I am interested to see the funeral episode moving forward because I think that's going to bring
Starting point is 00:55:07 a lot of people to the forefront that we haven't seen a little bit like Marcia their mother like just people who haven't remembered from the past three seasons and I think it's going to be like a shit show because everyone's just like like i think it's just gonna be a lot of emotion brought to the forefront that no one's had to deal with quite yet um i also think it'll be interesting to see how like carrie exists or if she does throughout the rest of the season now that
Starting point is 00:55:34 logan's dead and she really like is kind of out of a job unless they put her on the news yeah her character development i i hate her huh did they change her hair i don't know but her bangs suck ass no offense I don't know, she kind of popped up I don't know with bad bangs I was like, what fuck? Yeah, it's hard to forget. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:55 No, but I wonder if they're gonna have her in the rest of the season at all or if they're gonna try to put her on the news. No, she's definitely in the will. They think they get rid of her then she's in the will. Oh, Billy.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Yep. No, we think? Yep. That would suck. I hate her. She's so awful. So awful. Oh,
Starting point is 00:56:19 I can't stand her. Oh, I hope she's on in the will. That would suck. Imagine if she gets like a billion dollars. That's just a small chunk. I know. Imagine, oh, man. Imagine just sleeping with an old dude and getting a billion dollars for like three months
Starting point is 00:56:38 of work. God. I just, I don't. Three months of emotional manipulation. Yeah. And then he dies. Just being nice to someone. And then she's like in shock.
Starting point is 00:56:47 She's so in shock when he dies. And she's like, fucking crazy, right? And then Tom has what I think is a very arguably the funniest line in the episode, because there's not that many. He's like she looks like she got a fucking foul ball at Ike Stadium. Like she is just complete and total shock. No, I also, speaking of side characters that have to do with Logan, Colin, his bodyguard, did you catch that when he was coming, when they were bringing Logan's body off the tarmac? And Colin, there's like a five second frame of him like with more emotion than I could ever come up with like being like oh being sad yeah
Starting point is 00:57:27 yeah like every single person stepped up in this episode to like provide enough emotional integrity that that you could experience in like through the whole cast in a normal show but because this is a succession like they all have that level of emotion and even Colin in a five-second blip when he doesn't say or say anything or look near the camera and you can just like feel it. Bitcoin just hit
Starting point is 00:57:57 30K. Is that good? Kind of. Is this because of Logan Roy? Maybe. Wait, when did I buy it? Just get out. Anyway. But I
Starting point is 00:58:13 really think every single person in the show deserves it at me for what they did Sunday. Yeah. They already have a lot of Emmys. As deserved. Yeah. And I think I think Alan Ruck, who plays Connor Roy, I think he's this is hit the, this is the season of Connor.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Like every single episode, he's had like a crazy display of emotions that he hasn't had in the past three seasons and like they've shed more light on him this season. And I love what they're doing with him. I like also think
Starting point is 00:58:46 that he um like like it's so connor that the day of his wedding his dad dies and then he's like well like i'll i'm gonna still get married like i'm still gonna go through with this and then poor willa is just like well i'm not gonna leave you right now i'll leave you later but maybe not right now um but i like connor connor's so good in this episode just with ever everything that takes place throughout this crazy tumultuous time that I don't it's like one of those things where it's like you never like obviously like people die and you know that everyone dies but you're not actively thinking about it especially when Logan was so involved still
Starting point is 00:59:37 like I think when in the beginning of the first season when we see him for the first time and he you know had this I think it was a stroke and you're like okay it would make sense if he died like in the next episode like that kind of adds up like you don't really see it coming or you think he's going to get sick and it's going to be the slow decline and it's just so not and i yeah everyone everyone was like thinking that it would be like him on the deathbed would be like and i'm going to make you the success yeah yeah cousin greg still the dark horse well you really think so yeah that was our podcast yeah maybe in a couple weeks
Starting point is 01:00:21 Greg Hirsch will be the sole owner of Waystarroiko and Billy will be able to come back and spit this in my face I think Greg okay so let's cast our let's cast our bets yeah let's cast her bets now you're saying Greg you're like a pool yeah well because he doesn't watch yeah I'm just gonna say Greg because I love him yeah team Greg I don't know anyone else his name Greg I'm going to say Roman.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Okay. Roman's such a skeevy. I know, but I think he's just skeevy enough to kind of like sneak in. I also don't think, I've been thinking about this because I'm like, how does this show end? I don't know if there's a bad way they end this show now. Yeah. Like I think they're going to, like, one, I trust these people now. Well, I always have, but like, like, everything they do is just correct.
Starting point is 01:01:11 And I can't see this like ending in a way where I'm like fully disappointed. yeah shit or shiv wins and then it's like girl boss time you know I love a girl boss I also love shiv girl boss also love shiv yeah also I'm looking at my friends tweet that went viral about the upstate New York thing I I was trying to go off this because I couldn't remember but she does say Poughkeepsie up to New York up to Lake George like Saratoga area is upstate but then above Lake George is like northern New York like Plattsburgh oh so wait wait i actually this is like a detailed yeah text us to me yeah it went like so viral
Starting point is 01:01:54 this is like such a new york thing long island like isn't new york people get so upset about long island i just think it's hilarious how upset people get about it because like i don't really care if you whatever you want to be upset i do get annoyed when people from long island are like everything else is upstate i'm like okay you're just being dumb Long Island like Long Island like Long Island sports doesn't compete in New York sports
Starting point is 01:02:18 It doesn't? They have their own association Like I was watching a A game show the other day And the guy was like Oh I'm from Long Island New York And my dad's like that's not a place
Starting point is 01:02:28 Like you're from a town On Long Island But you're not from Long Island Like you wouldn't say Long Island New York Like what is Long Island Yeah you would say like You would say like Massapequa
Starting point is 01:02:38 Yeah like something Like I was like Yeah so true Like is long island Like, is it a, it's a province? Yeah, wait, interesting. I know. I was like, it's an island.
Starting point is 01:02:50 What is? My mom is from Long Island, but. Actually, let me ask chat, CBT. Yeah, what is long? What is Long Island? I mean, they're going to say it's an island. Yeah, it is an island. So is Manhattan.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Island time, babe. We're always on island time. Always. Like, is it a county? Right. why does it I always forget that I always forget what county we're in
Starting point is 01:03:15 but we're in New York New York County Yeah Like that never registers with me Long Island is an island Yes Yeah nailed it It consists of four counties
Starting point is 01:03:27 Kings Brooklyn Queens Nassau and Suffolk Each county has its own Government jurisdiction Long Island is not a county itself But rather a region Okay so it's a region Got it okay
Starting point is 01:03:38 That's a word Yeah Makes sense the reason for the separate jurisdiction of law is counties colonial area dutch english um yeah so it doesn't have oh but the four counties okay literally it doesn't like what gives them the authority to like not compete in sports yeah that is weird i don't have its own that's kind of crazy like i think they have their own wildlife like thing too like their own like yeah like it's not like new york department of whatever
Starting point is 01:04:09 it'll be like Long Island Department of whatever. Yeah. Long Island is huge though. Yeah. It should, it could be its own like northeastern state. How many people live? Like it could be like a Rhode Island. It could be a Connecticut.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Yeah. Yeah, it could be. Long Island. What? Yeah. Interesting. The estimated population of seven million people. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:35 On Long Island? Yeah. Yeah, that adds up. A lot of islands. Well, because I guess Brooklyn and Queens count. on that too, right? Yeah. It's the original suburbia.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Like, the suburban sprawl. Like, I've really never been into Long Island. I've been on, like, I've been in, like, Brooklyn and Queens, but that's it. Yeah. Like, I've never, I've never, and I've never been in the Hamptons. Like, the Hamptons are Long Island. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:55 They're so far out. The Borty Barn talk. Yeah. The end of the world, they call it. That's so far away. I mean, I've your Roy and have a helicopter. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Bladed. Yeah. I mean, it turns out it's not that expensive to get like an Uber pool helicopter. No, it's not. Because sometimes it'll pop up. Really? It'll be like 200 bucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:18 But like 200 bucks to skip all the traffic. Right. Or like not have to get on the train that everyone else is on. Or drive and all like the rush hour traffic. I'm Uber, Uber Blade. I heard Brianna does it a lot. Really? No way, dude.
Starting point is 01:05:34 What? I swear to God. So where though? Like the airport? She's going from her apartment to sucker punch. To the Hamptons. Chicken fry? Actually, I don't know if I should say that.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Maybe we should cut that. She doesn't go to the Hamptons. I don't know where she took it to her. That's so funny. From her apartment. That's like the one person I've heard. I know they've done helicopters before they've like been, they've been,
Starting point is 01:06:00 her and Grace have been up in helicopters. Helicopter, I mean, after Kobe ruined helicopters. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's true. No, I know it's true, but It's just sad to think about
Starting point is 01:06:11 I think they've done them like Like the ones that you can do over New York Like the trip, like you can get the view Yeah And then they're like up And they take pictures and then they come down We should take one for content Oh
Starting point is 01:06:25 And then go party You couldn't get PFT on there Then go party names Is he scared of heights? Terrified of heights Oh my gosh, that's so funny I didn't know that I have to show you the video of him
Starting point is 01:06:35 On that person day building Was he freaking out? Oh my God with Tyler O'Day. May he also love him. But yeah, no, it's, it's, PFT is not a fan of heights.
Starting point is 01:06:46 That's so funny. You couldn't get him in a helicopter. The more you know. I hate heights, but I only hate heights when it's open. Like, if there's something in between me and the heights, we're good. Like glass, like a building? No, no. I mean, more structured than glass. Like, what do you mean? Like a plane?
Starting point is 01:07:05 Yeah, like I don't get, I'm not scared of heights on a plane. Even when I look out the window, but it's just like a lot of open glass, then I get a little. If you can like look down and see what's below you. Is that what you mean? I'm not really scared of heights, actually. I'm not pretty good about it. No, mind him. That's not like what's on the top of my list.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Yeah, true. Anybody else have any like important topics we need to discuss? I don't think so. Not that we can't discuss tomorrow. Yeah. Well, because we're recording this on Tuesday. Yeah. So we're bored tomorrow for our real episode.
