Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. We are here to discuss the ESPN documentary, The Last Dance, with Michael Jordan, of course. What's up, Hank? No, we're not actually here to talk about that. We're here to talk about Outer Banks, the newest Netflix show. Rhea got me addicted to this thing this weekend. So what's going on? Bob, thanks for having me on on this special day. Of course, the stars aligned. We didn't even plan this, but you know what? No, we didn't. It just fits. I would also like to say that Outer Banks completely changed my life. I don't think that I will find a show in a while that has done what this show has done to me now.

It's kind of like the dirt, like you were saying about the dirt. When I watched the dirt, I was obsessed with it. I couldn't get enough of it. I watched it a million times in a row. Now, yeah, I still love the dirt, but I'm not watching it as much. That's kind of how I think what's going to happen with Outer Banks. But for right now, how much I'm upset with it, I need to talk about it as much as possible. And you're the only person besides Hank who fucking understands and who will listen to me about this. No, I get it because you texted me, what was it, two days ago, three days ago?

And it was pretty late. And you said, there's this new show on Netflix, it's called Outer Banks, and you described it as One Tree Hill meets National Treasure, and I was in right away. The second you said that, I pretty much started it. I watched five episodes on the first night. I watched the next five episodes the next day, finished it in two days. I don't know how we can really describe the show let's talk about i guess the like basic plot of the show for people okay so let's go through the main characters first or and even just the sides of the island like it's a class war thing the whole show is so uh the kooks versus the Pogues. Pogues is working class. Cougs, rich people. John B., JJ, Pope.

They're Pogues. Kiara, she's a little bit of a Coug mixed with a Pogue. She's a rich person, but she's hanging out with that group because she likes them better. She does not fit in with the Cougs. Yeah, this is our main characters. This is our main cast. Main characters.

We're like rooting for the Pogues. 100% Pogues for life. It will never change. And they are just a friend group. It's summer. There was a bad storm. And the bad storm has taken out their cell service, which, by the way, is one of the funnier things about the entire show

is that they don't use their phones or anything because of a storm that took it out the entire summer. The entire don't use their phones or anything because of a storm that took it out the entire summer. The entire Outer Banks of North Carolina, gone. Besides the rich people. So no phones, no service. And we learned that John B., the main character, his dad has gone missing.

They pronounced him dead, but John B. does not believe he's dead. He thinks his body's still out there and he's not going to stop until he finds his dad's body. And his dad was looking for this thing called the Royal Merchant, which was a shipwreck that had $400 million worth of gold on it. So that's, it sort of sets the tone early of like, this isn't just going to be a teen drama show. We're going to do a little, like you said, national treasure stuff, a little, I compared it to the Goonies. I saw you said a lot of people are comparing it to the Goonies. The first episode is sort of like a teen drama show. It's sort of, they're doing the

partying on the beach. It's normal. And by the end of the season, it's like the Fast and the Furious, where it's almost like a parody of itself, but it's still amazing. It gets fucking batshit crazy where there's complete crime going on and drug use and there's guns early on too, but I couldn't get enough of it. I was fucking addicted. And like you said, it was very much like a One Tree Hill thing where I knew none of this stuff would happen in real life, but I didn't give a shit. That is the exact reason why I compared it to One Tree Hill was because when I was watching One Tree Hill, I was addicted because it was a teen drama. I love teen dramas, but there was something about the crazy things that were happening that were just so unbelievable and unrealistic, like Nathan

getting kidnapped, Clay completely forgetting he has a child and finding him just on the playground randomly. These things, they don't just happen. And there's the dog eating Dan's heart. I mean, that's a classic one. Right, right. Nanny Carrie, like that shit was crazy. But I think that even though there's potholes, even in Outer Banks, I'm totally cool with it. Like write a show that entertains me

and you just, whatever. Oh, there's parts that don't make sense at all. Fine, I don't care you just have to accept that it is like goonies for people our age where it's like consider the logic that is applied to children's movies and then apply it to a movie with like sex drugs and cursing that's what outer banks is and it's great you even got hank into it which you said hank usually doesn't go for some of your shows and he was addicted to this. Yeah, he was in within, I think, 10 minutes of watching the first episode. He was into it. We watched the whole thing. We stayed up until 4am

finishing it Saturday night because I mean, once you get closer to the end, you cannot stop. My parents watched it within a day. I texted them. I was like, I've got a new show for you guys. They finished it within a day. I'm still trying to get Fran to watch it. I think she's going to watch it this week. But I don't even know where we begin with these characters, what has happened. Well, I have two questions for you before we get into the actual plot of the show. One, do you think that 16- 16 year olds like this exist anywhere in the world um absolutely not i think that it's i think it's a common theme with these teen dramas that they always cast people who are just way too old to be playing 16 year olds like sophia bush yeah she was not a 16 year old in one tree hill. She wasn't she

looked like she was 25. And something that makes me happy about it, though, is that, okay, this isn't like creepy. You know what I mean? For us to watch as viewers, I realize that the actors in the show are of age, it makes it feel way less weird. I mean, there's sex scenes. So I, of course, fell into the trap of immediately Googling the actors' names and age and being like, let me make sure that I'm allowed to watch this scene right now. And you very much are. I think John B, you said is like 27. The other actors, 22. They're all playing high schoolers. But my other question for you, do you think anywhere in the world there's a class rivalry or any kind of rivalry like this so i think that there are groups like this that

exist on the earth where it's like rich people versus working class um i don't know if it's to the extent where every single time they get into a fight they're on the verge of murder every single time they get into a fight, they're on the verge of murder. Every single time the kooks were trying to beat up the pokes, it was like they were about to murder them. And that was maybe the one problem I had with the show. Yeah, we could start there because that's like so early on. They get into this fight on the beach. You could set it up if you want. Oh my God, do you have a guest in the middle of a coronavirus in the middle of a pandemic no they do that with my packages

i'm not gonna get the package though so we can continue no that's fine you could set up the fight on the beach that you had an issue with okay so the the pogues are like let's have a kegger and this was hilarious because as soon as they said this hank was like uh you don't need a keg for four fucking people and i was like i think they're gonna invite more people to the beach and uh they end up having a party on the beach and of course john b and topper who is another rich kid he is dating sarah cameron who is um cam ward's daughter she's another rich girl uh living on the side of the kooks. And John B. and Topper, they get into a little tussle. And this tussle turns into Topper shoving John B.'s head into the ocean water and sand like he's about to drown him. For so long.

For so long. I was like, oh, my God, John B.'s going to die in the first episode. People in the crowd are screaming like, you're going to kill him. You're going to drown him. Please stop. Girls are screaming. It just seemed like every kid on the show had murder issues. But he was about to kill him. And then JJ, who got a gun that earlier in the episode, they had come across a shipwreck. They found a key to a motel. They went to motel. They went to the room, found a gun that earlier in the episode, they, they had come across a shipwreck.

They found a key to a motel. They went to motel. They went to the room, found a gun. The thing, why I'm not making the motel a big deal is because they didn't make the motel. I saw the motel in one episode and fucking never heard about it again.

So I just needed a way to get a gun into the hands of a 16 year old. Right. And that's how it happened. JJ got the gun. Um, and JJ takes out this gun and starts popping it in the air. He's holding it to Topper's head and everyone's like, no, JJ, don't do that. And then Topper finally stops and let's go of John B. And I thought this whole scene was so ridiculous and I hated JJ. I hated him. Now I turn around, I love him, and I would die for him as well.

But I hated him in this scene. Yeah, no, JJ was a character that you need, like, getting used to. He's the friend that is a complete head case, and you have to constantly make excuses for him. You're like, he fucking means well, I swear. The entire time that John B. was getting drowned, I was like, all right, someone needs to, like, go tackle this kid. If you just run up to the kid and tackle him, they'll probably get separated.

Or there were so many people on the beach. Just separate the fight. Break it up. You don't need to hold a Glock to the back of his skull. I also just got a text from Henry Lockwood. I'm going to read it live on air. He said, I also realized halfway through the show that it is very similar to The Outsiders. That's his note.

It is pretty similar to The O the outsiders because those kids were also getting into no good and, you know, in crime. And there was class wars and that too. That's a, that's a good comparison. I was thinking a little Laguna beach, a little Dawson's Creek, even. I agree with that as well. I think it has a mixture of literally everything. And I also think it has a mixture of every genre, like comedy, romance, murder, mystery. Yes. Everything you can think of, they have it. Back to JJ's point,

you're right. He is the kid that you have to make excuses for, but he means well. He comes from a bad family. He has this hidden rage on the inside. I saw so many memes on Twitter that cracked me up about like, when JJ decides if he should take his gun for the 500th time. And it's like Chris Jenner taking out the gun in the Kardashians. And it's or Jonah Hill. Bang, bang. I didn't see that one. I just made that up in my head. I might tweet that out later. That's pretty good. I like that.

It was hilarious that this gun was never used throughout the entire show, though. I want to make a note of that because I was waiting. Yeah, they say like, what's the classic trope? It's like Chekhov's gun. If you see a gun, it'll definitely be used at some point,

no doubt about it. Maybe it'll be used in season two. It's like the ricin from Breaking Bad or something. Now we're going to go into spoiler territory. So if you haven't seen Outer Banks yet, go on Netflix, binge the whole thing. Like we said, it's like straight drama porn. Every episode ends with a crazy cliffhanger. And then the next episode begins and you're like, oh my God, it usually just like negates the cliffhanger. Usually it would be, oh my God, we just found something. And then the next episode starts, it's like, oh, those two creepy people found us. We got to run, but we're going to talk

about it now. Before we do, let me tell you about our sponsor this week, Fleischman Salon. You may not know this because I wear a hat pretty much every day, but I have been getting my hair cut at Fleischman Salon for a few years now. And it's been a game changer for my hair. Erica has been cutting my hair. Mackenzie's been cutting my hair, Bunch of the other guys at Barstool as well. And she knows men's hair better than anyone. Not only does she give amazing haircuts, but she's an actual MMA fan too. When I go to Fleischman Salon, immediately it's like, oh, you see the fights this weekend? What'd you think about this fight?

What'd you think about that fight? She also is an unbelievable, I don't want to say it's crochet. Is it cross stitching or crochet? I think it's cross stitching. Unbelievable cross stitching. Made me the cutest fucking baby Yoda you've ever seen in your entire life out of a little cross-stitch. It's actually framed and on my desk now. The best people in the world, the most personable, easy to talk to people. At this point, basically an extension of the Barstool family.

What do you want to talk about first? What's like the most, hey, I need to talk about this. I right, getting into spoilers. What do you want to talk about first? What's like the most,

hey, I need to talk about this. I just watched Outer Banks. I mean, you restarted the show already, which is crazy. Just, I would like to talk about John B. and JJ's characters as wholes. Okay. Just in general, just whatever.

I would, this is no exaggeration, and I'm talking about the characters like I know nothing about the actors if they needed me today to take a bullet for them I would if the Outer Banks team reached out to me and they were like

this shit is now happening in real life the actors have now turned into their real characters and they need somebody to protect them will you do it? Sign me up. I have lived a better life than John B and JJ, and they deserve a fucking good life for once. Okay. John B can't catch a break. His mom left him when he was three. His dad disappeared at sea. Now he's just living on his own he's 16 years old he can't he can't stay out of trouble i mean he's getting framed for fucking everything left and right we're in spoiler territory he's getting framed for murders the amount of times he had to run

from the cops was astonishing but you know this is the thing he was always running from the cops and i understand that's part of the show. And the show wouldn't have been the show without that. But there were so many times where I was like, if you just tell the cops what happened, they might believe you, John B. He had so much evidence at every turn. He had so much evidence. As soon as they found the gun, they found the money,

they found everything. Even when they found the gold, even when he found out that Cam Ward murdered him, he murdered his dad he should have just went to the police and be like listen cam ward murdered my dad um i know that he went after sheriff peterson got bopped by wraith also the worst character in the show besides the two of them though you said constantly every time i texted you about either of them you were like listen i know this is going to sound bad but i wouldn't care if they died i was rooting for them to die at the end like very much hardcore

let me ask you before you continue though when did you decide for each john b and jj that you would take a bullet for him john b was probably within 10 minutes of the first episode and JJ probably when he took the fall for Pope when they got in trouble for the huge fight because what had happened was

listen, like we talked about in the beginning, the kooks were always on the verge of murdering the Pokes in every fight they had. They ran into Pope on the golf course and fucking beat the shit out of him with a golf club. And all of a sudden he was fine. But as revenge, him and JJ went and sunk Topper's boat. Topper knew that it was them and then proceeded to beat the shit out of them at the movie thing. Kiara, shout out to Kiara, who had a lighter and lit the screen on fire.

Lit the movie screen on fire. With the movie screen on fire. What a move. She also thought about using the gun, which- And what was the other thing? It's just tempting every time. They lit something else on fire later on in the season. And I was like, Jesus fucking Christ. Was it the house or the lighthouse or- I can't think. They lit the church on fire at the end.

The church is what I'm thinking of. Yeah. The kids were just- Fucking rape. Listen, let's light things on fire in this town. The kids ever they're just absolutely the worst kids ever but they did such a good job of showing how insufferable rich cokehead kids are because that's how they are with the frosted tips vineyard vines with their salmon colored shorts they go to saratoga they post a picture fucking look at us at the races because they bet $10 of their dad's money. Oh my God. The kooks were so, like every moment made me laugh out loud too when they would give into like the cliches. There's a moment where Sarah said something. It was about John B. stealing her dad's tanks. And Topper's like, doesn't he know your dad will take him to court? And I was just like, oh God. Yeah, the lines that some of them were saying, sometimes you're right, it's hilarious and so cliche.

And you're right, it describes them perfectly, just annoying. Like you see them at the party and they're all like hyped up and you're just like, I want to punch that kid in the face. If he was in my presence, I would want to spit on him because I hate him. But JJ took the fall for Pope because they were just beating the

shit out of Pope. Such a great moment. The cops came and they were going to arrest Pope. And JJ was like, you know what? It was me. And it wasn't JJ, but JJ was like, I'm finally going to tell the truth once in my life. He put on a A plus performance to back his man Pope up, and he ended up behind the bars for a quick second. But his dad bailed him out, and then his dad proceeded to beat the shit out of him as well. Crazy. And I was screaming at my TV. Screaming at my TV.

How did you feel about that? When he's bashing his head against the window? I mean, it was jarring because he's bashing his head against the window, and then the blood was splattering. One of the most intense, like emotional moments, maybe the most in the whole season is when they bring him back to the house and the dad's sleeping and he fucking puts the gun to his head

and decides not to do it. Oh my goodness. Oh my God. I was screaming. I didn't want him to do it because you're, you're going to become a murderer. JJ. That's like your dad in the head.

You can't, no, you can't get like beat by your dad and then go and shoot him in the head. I feel like that's like, whoa, you should definitely talk to somebody about your dad. Right. He probably should have talked to somebody about that, but obviously understand he's scared of his dad. So I think that is when I decided I would take a bullet for JJ. I think I would also 100%

take a bullet for Kiara and actually Pope at this point too he did a full turnaround I feel like Sarah's like my favorite character on the show that's that's such a redemption story I guess I would take a bullet for her as well um I just wouldn't uh it didn't seem like it for that no no no I wouldn't you know run up and be like, me, me, me, right away. But if they asked me, sure. There's not a strongly- John B would definitely, because the second they did it, he's like, she's my girlfriend. Okay.

So let's give a little background of what happened with Sarah and John B. Sarah's dad, Cam Ward, he went to UNC. He has a past. Like we said, they're looking for this gold. They're doing everything they can. John B. is looking for all the clues. He found his dad's compass that wrote Redfield on it. And then he found a note at Redfield and a voice recorder that was his dad's last words to him, basically. And John B. knew there's something else out there. He knows his dad was leaving the royal merchant for him. He found it.

He knows where it is. But Sarah's dad has maps that John B. needed and also has a trustee's pass to this place that has the archives. I don't know, that part kind of confused me a little bit. Yeah, so it was like they bought this house that used to be a plantation and they found archives

in the attic that they gave to a library or something and that's why the library was like oh yeah you donated it so i guess you could see it but i thought it was weird they went to the library at like 10 o'clock at night i was like what who would be at this library at this moment but that you know that's one of those things you have to just let go right and you turn you turn a blind eye um but obviously john b and sarah end up falling in love which we knew was going to happen and let me remind you completely yeah sarah is a kook and uh john b is a pogue which is unspeakable how is the rich and the poor going to date it's a modern day ryan and marissa story that we have going on here. And you know, this is the first episode they're going to be together because they're far

and away the hottest people on the show. Oh, by far. And John B is staring at her for five minutes straight in one of the first episodes. So we know that's going to happen and they end up together, which I was happy about. I'm sure you're happy about it.

Yeah, I was happy about it too. They throw you for a bit of a love triangle thing with Kiara because he kisses her early on. You're like, is he going to get out of the friend zone here? But she's pretty adamant for the rest of the season that pokes don't mack on pokes until she fucking macks on a pogue,

which was weird. And I didn't really like that either. Now, here's my problem with Kiara, which went away, but she didn't want John B to kiss her. No. But kept kissing john b on the cheek and then she was like dancing with john b and then she was upset when john b was with sarah she don't know my head kiara didn't know what she wanted i think she was jealous a little bit

that sarah was getting some john b because kiara and sarah they were one kiara and sarah they were once friends and then they stopped being friends, but the boys put them on a boat with a blunt and had them talk out their problems and whatever, it was fixed. That was one of my favorite scenes in the whole show because her nipple eye rant that she went on, like the tangent where she's like,

imagine your nipples were eyes and you wouldn't be able to see the veins in your hands. It was such a funny eye rant that I was like, I wonder if they gave those girls a blunt and just said ramble. Listen, I was thinking the same thing until I watched one of their Instagram lives where they talked about if it was real weed that they were smoking. And they said, no, that is highly illegal to do that on set. So they can not smoke real weed.

It was fake. So you're diving into these Instagram lives, by the way. You stan the cast. They spoke out about the transgender laws. They didn't shoot in North Carolina. And then laws already got repealed, I saw. I don't know if it's because of Outer Banks. Probably not.

But I stan them. It's a win. Kings and queens. I mean, just the way that they handled that conversation, because I did see a lot of people being like, why didn't they film here? didn't they film there and just knowing that there were there were other reasons behind it makes a ton of sense and like i just felt like they spoke about it in a good way yeah and they're definitely the the sort of people who them speaking out about

that in a good way can make a world of difference because the age group that's going to be watching this show is the age group that's gonna to be watching this show is the age group. That's going to who it's going to matter to. I'm not going to lie. I was reading like comments from younger girls in these lives being like, Oh my God, stop. Like, this is my favorite show. You're getting jealous. You're like pushing them out of the way for a John B autograph.

Yeah. I mean, I literally would take an autograph. I tweeted for them to come on the show. They didn't answer me. I thought they would. Well, Sarah fucking follows me out of the blue. Can we talk about that? Is Sarah my mom's basement listener? What the fuck is going on here? Robbie. Exactly. I was like, listen, if I tweet about this, maybe Robbie will see it. He'll like it. Maybe I'll throw it at our team. I did like it.

And maybe Sarah will see this, but no, no. You know what? I'm going to still hold out hope because I'll probably tweet at them again. I don't think Sarah uses her Twitter. I think Sarah, like maybe her, she's got a brother that runs her Twitter and he's a stoolie or something. I don't know. Her following me of all people made no sense to me. A moment that I wanted to bring up JJ choking his chicken, which quite literally choking a chicken. There were these two guys that were after John B. and the entire group after the compass early on in the show. Criminals. They were super annoying because every time the main cast would make any breakthrough in the case, they would show up.

And it was just like, oh, Jesus fucking Christ, we've got to deal with these guys again. At one point, they show up to this house and the whole cast has to hide in a little chicken house little chicken coop and jj just fucking brutally like it's like he was wringing out a wet rag but it was a chicken's throat one of the most jarring scenes in the entire show and i guess it was to show that jj is a loose cannon but i just wanted to bring it up because it shocked me. It genuinely shocked me as well, Robbie. I screamed at my TV and I was like, I hate this kid, but I understand where he was coming from. Although, no, see, that sounds horrible. I sort of do. Yes. He didn't want to die himself. So he sacrificed the rooster or the chicken

and it was terrifying to see, but he was kind of saving them because they were going to get shot by these murderers, who, by the way, just end up disappearing. They don't have anything to do with the show. Yeah, they just, like, out of nowhere, one episode, there's a fisher they cut to, and he's like, check out who I found in the lake. And it's the two dead guys. It's unbelievable.

But I was happy they were dead. I was like, all right, thank God they're off the fucking trail. Right, like I'm tired of them fucking chasing everybody around. I think that's something was important that we forgot to mention. That was Scooter was found dead in the beginning of the show. And he's the guy that they found the motel key and whatnot. And Scooter is a big part of it because he's in cahoots with Cam Ward and John B's dad who is confirmed dead.

Yeah. Because Cam Ward, who is Sarah Cameron and Rafe's father, Rafe, by the way, who we said is by far the worst character on the show, a complete piece of shit. I hope he dies or ends

up in jail in the next season or else i don't know what i'm gonna do listen guys too he's gonna be fucked that actor like joffrey where it's like he's not gonna be able to be cast as a likable dude i was gonna say i feel bad for him like i feel like he's good they were uh a lot of the cast were like he's like the nicest kid ever. Like this fucking sucks. Like for him. And the same, same thing about cam ward and, and JJ's dad, they were tweeting like, yeah,

it sucks. Great people. But like, that's the part we got. Are they going to throw him a nasty look? Right. I think cam ward is more obvious that he's like just a bat. You know what I mean?

You could separate him from his probably cause he's an adult, you know, exactly. But scooter cam ward and John B's dad were all in cahoots because they were looking for the royal merchant. And what we find out had happened is Cam Ward was on a boat with John B's dad. And I guess John B's dad was, you know,

he was trying to explain to Cam that, listen, I'm going to take most of it. You get 20%. I've been doing the research for 20 years. You just hopped on. He's been like funding it, I guess. Right. And Cam Ward is funding his research. listen i'm gonna take most of it you get 20 i've been doing the research for 20 years you just hopped on cam like funding it i guess right and cam was funding it and um it turns into a physical fight where cam pushes john b's dad not meaning to kill him but kills him because john b's dad hits um what what is that like a hook on a on a boat yeah it's like the edge of the boat he just hits

the back of his head he hits the back of his head cuts it open and cam thinks he's dead so he just throws his body in the water dumps it right overboard dumps it right over doesn't give a fuck about his friend he washes up on shore he's not dead he's alive but he's slowly dying i bet he could have been saved if Cam Ward fucking took that speedboat and went back to shore. And he thought about calling it in, too, for a second. He was like, oh, shit. He's like, I'll fucking call somebody.

I'll get you. And then he's like, on second thought, never mind. See you. Yeah, he's like, better not. Throws him in the ocean. He washes up on shore, and he builds a little thing, and he writes in a compass which we saw in the beginning that john b had redfield and you see him leaving that note for john b

and then scooter uh cam ward goes to scooter and tells him what had happened and is freaking out and uh sends scooter out on this mission where scooter ends up finding the glasses upon shore. So they figure out that John B's dad actually died and made it to shore and didn't die in the middle of the ocean. The reason we find all of this out is because John B falls off a tower because pushed off. Yes. Sorry. Excuse me. He did not fall off. He was fucking pushed off by Topper. Topper who is Sarah Cameron's boyfriend at the time, like we talked about,

Sarah's sneaking around with John B. She's afraid of Topper. They end up at the top of this thing. And after the Midsummer's party, Topper is fucked up and he comes up and he pushes John B. off this railing. John B. thump, hits the ground. He only gets a concussion. Only gets a concussion and a broken wrist.

How crazy was that? It was insane. I mean, when he did that, I was like, did they just kill off John B? What a twist Outer Banks just made. He fell 40 feet and then they just cut to him on the ground. He's like, oh, my arm. There were so many times where I was like, did just kill john b and hank was like ria unless this is a game of thrones type of show they're not killing john b off this show no they didn't

kill john b so he goes into the hospital and sarah explains to her dad what happened and cam ward says you know what i'm gonna take you under my wing i'm gonna become your legal guardian and in this moment i knew it was done for for john yeah it's crazy because you know that he's evil at this point you're like you know he's evil because he beat up rafe's coke dealer um because by the way if you didn't know rafe also had a coke problem he takes john b in and it seems to be okay until the pogues fucking find the gold in this old lady's house who is an axe murderer yeah it was like don't breathe did you see that don't breathe movie no this whole episode was like don't breathe where they they break into a blind person's house and the blind person has

they gone and they have to sneak around the whole time but as soon as they broke into her house they didn't even try to be quiet so i don't know what they were trying to do there. But she broke out the shotgun immediately. Yeah, they were extremely loud. This lady was the scariest lady I've ever seen with a shotgun and blind eyes. And it was terrifying. But they ended up finding the gold. And they found a piece of it and got out alive.

Yep, the Pogues did it again. They survived almost death for the 500th time. Another awesome moment. Awesome moment. John B's covered in mud he's like i got the gold and i'm so happy for them but you know that's not going to be the end of that robbie of course yeah i mean it was like episode five or six and they had to go back down they had to get the rest of it now let's let's move on to the finale because there's so much to talk about i know that people well let's talk about how john b john b quickly um cam ward listened to john b and sarah finding out that they found the gold well yeah and cam ward was like oh no my gold that i've been working for and invites john b on a boat and then that is how john b finds out that Cam Ward killed his father yeah so they

get on the boat and they get into this massive fight where uh he shoots him with a fucking spear John B had a crossbow at some point he tried to do the the once upon a time in Hollywood Brad Pitt thing where he was going to bring John B out to sea and be like let me fucking get rid of this kid out here did not go well and then he goes and steals all of the gold. John B. goes down, finds it empty, which is another like, oh, fuck moment. He finds in the old lady's house, there's just no gold there. And is it Pope who has the epiphany? He's like, oh, fuck.

My dad said that Cam Ward's plane is super heavy today. He must have taken all the gold. So John B. drives his little Volkswagen bus in front of this plane. The plane's like about to take off. He just drives it right in front. The plane hits the brakes. And this is when the officer, what's her name? Peterson.

Peterson shows up. Not sure why it's not Peterson. It's Peter-kson. Oh, it's P-tur-kson? Yeah. Oh, what an asshole created that name. Right. Like, why couldn't it just be peterson that's like

some kind of they're trying to do world building they're like no no she's like she's got you know crazy background but she shows up she holds a gun to cam ward and you're like finally this fucking guy is gonna get some justice brought to him he's trying to steal the gold she's she knows what he's been up to she knows she's the only one that really believes in john b she knows he's a good kid she knows he's not gonna murder anyone She knows she's the only one that really believes in John B. She knows he's a good kid. She knows he's not going to murder anyone. And just when that happens, fucking Rafe comes out of nowhere, shoots her. This was the moment where I truly wanted Rafe to die because I was so happy.

I was relieved. Cam Ward, she's like, you're under arrest for the murder of John Rutledge. I'm like, finally, finally. And they get you, too. It's like hook, finally, finally. And they get you too. It's like hook, line, and sinker. Yeah. Boom. Handcuffs are going on Cam Ward.

He's done. How did Rafe show up to this airport, whatever it is, and fucking shoot Sheriff Peterson? And why did he even have, where did the gun come from for Rafe? We don't even know where that happened. They're rich. They probably have a vault somewhere. Exactly.

They've got guns. We know that because Cam Ward is a murderer. So now we have a problem on our hands. Yes, Sarah sees all this happen, though, so that's good. It's like, is she going to betray her family? And this is leading into the finale. So the whole finale is, is she going to betray her family? Is she going to tell the truth about what's going to happen?

John B. is now on the run because uh cam ward calls in a call he's like john b just fucking shot this cop it's crazy he's on the run so the cops are after him like he's batman he's a vigilante now uh running from from backyard to backyard and then they take this ship out to see whose ship was it it was pope's dad's or kiara's dad's ship no no it was jj's dad the fan oh yes he steals he steals the keys yeah and jj's dad he's all drunk and he has that like i love you son moment he wasn't he was he wasn't just drunk he was on pills he was out of it he was clearly out of it um but yeah they they escape to see because there's nothing left they can do at this point. Okay. They have the middle of another massive storm.

And by the way, John B has been running for the cops for two days now. Cause this show takes place in a week. It seems he's been running for, from the cops for two days. Now they're searching all over for him. He, he did an impeccable job. And this is why I would say I would die for John B because how crazy of a job did he do running away from these cops and absolutely incredible um

but yeah they they got to get out of there because no one believes them sarah went to go tell the police that it was her dad and that she was there and she saw what happened that Rafe killed him uh killed her and the cop or whatever the detective whoever it was was like I'm gonna talk to your dad first and she went crazy because it made it seem like he made it seem like he didn't care what she was saying that she was crazy and then the dad basically said she is crazy right but it seemed like he was onto her onto him and was like I don't think this guy's telling the truth then he was gonna go talk to sarah but sarah fucking need the security and got out of there just like her boy john b would do and the two of them they ran off together on a boat romeo and juliet like like we said another one where you're like really guys you've known each

other for how long you're gonna die for each other right now? Listen, I've known them for 10 minutes and I want them to die for them. So I understand. I understand the sentiment there. But yeah, they're on this boat together. Terrible storm. They're finally spotted. And all the power's out,

which is like a very cool visual in the whole finale. All the power's out and then all of a sudden it goes on and it's like, oh shit. Of course it goes on now. But the cops are now after them on boats and they're chasing them into the storm basically because John B's not turning around.

And this is the moment where I was, woo, hollering, hollering at my TV because they get a hold of John B on the radio and they're like, we have one last hope. Let's get Cam. And Cam's like, John B, if you're there, please just look at Sarah, think of my daughter, and turn around, like bring her back home.

And John B goes, Cam, are you listening to me? And it's like silent. And then all of a sudden he's like, you murdered my father, your son killed Sherrick Peterson, and then you framed me for it. And I'm coming for you, Cam Ward. And both of the cops' faces were like, oh, fuck, we're sitting next to a murderer right now.

And John B. is right. And then John B. says to Sarah, I would rather die than go to jail. And Sarah goes, I would rather die than be without you. And fucking- Fucking unbelievable. Beautiful, tears come to my eye. to jail and sarah goes i would rather die than be without you and fucking unbelievable beautiful tears come to my eye um john b went for liam neeson on cam ward yeah now in this moment they lose them they're like we don't know where they are sarah and john b are gone you know they're in the storm they could possibly be dead yeah the cops go back to the pokes and they're like we don't

know they might be yeah and uh kiara pope Pope, JJ, they all have this wonderful moment where they reunite with their parents, but nobody comes for JJ. And then Pope's dad brings JJ in for the group hug. And this is why. This is why I say I would die for them because it was so heartwarming. And then we find out. I was like, I swear to God god if this show ends with just this and i don't see john b and sarah's faces again i'm gonna freak out i'm gonna freak out but there

they are in the ocean yeah they're good with life jackets on that they didn't have on prior but that's okay yep and john b was he was a procrastinator he didn't even open his fucking dad's office till like a year after he went missing he didn't even open his fucking dad's office to like a year after he went missing he didn't even think to let me look in his room until right let me just like figure this out no uh so they're they are in the middle of the ocean and they're laying on the boat and i think it's hilarious that right when she wakes up she's like john b like why not just john it was right out of the titanic with like jack, Jack, where are you? Every single time. All they did was say, John B, John B, John B, John B. That was weird. You pointed that out. And I said to you,

I got a friend that's been on the podcast a bunch before, Joseph Benavidez. And I call him Joe B all the time. Like I'm always like, yo, Joe B. But I don't say it every time. It'd be weird if I referred to him to other people as that, you know what I, but he's never called John. He's never called Jonathan. It's just John B. Right. John B the entire time, which you know what but he's never called john he's never called jonathan it's just john b right john b the entire time which you know what if he wants to be called john b he'll be called john yeah fuck it you you compared it to our guy jeff d yeah we always call him jeff d so uh so then a boat is passing by and thankfully this is how it ends john b and sarah catch their attention and they get on this boat with the gold. Very poetic, very poetic. And guess what happens?

Guess where this boat is going? The Bahamas, the Bahamas where the gold is now landed because cam wards pilot took off with it without ever turning back. And it's somehow there. And that's how it ends. And we need a season two oh we're definitely getting a season two i know too hot to handle or whatever came out this weekend so maybe people are procrastinating on outer banks but i feel like this is going to be a phenomenon in the next week i don't know how it couldn't be it's an amazing watch it's one of those things that you get addicted to immediately first episode and you're in on it reminded me the narration at the start reminded me of into the spider verse when he's

like all right let's get this started i'm john b and here's my story my dad went missing and oh so good so incredible 10 out of 10 i the only thing that has me nervous is that season two we're not going to get to the fucking 2022 i know because the coronavirus and i'm gonna have to wait three four years to see these people again. That's why I already restarted watching it. And what are they going to play? Or like One Tree Hill eventually had to do a time jump because they were like, all right, this is ridiculous.

These guys are in their 30s and they're playing high schoolers. Are they going to have to? I don't know. I think they're going to have to do like a few years of a time jump. Maybe two years. Maybe it's two years

and sarah and john b are are you know living this life in the bahamas i hope it just ends up they're fucking it starts with them in a big mansion in the bahamas yeah it's just like this this is the fucking high life now we're living it up the whole pogues are like in a hype house in the bahamas they're just that would be a form of TikTok team unreal such a good show so good any any predictions for season two I'm hoping that Kiara and JJ end up together because we see Kiara and Pope kind of end up together um like Pope Pope confesses his love for Kiara and then Kara's like no but then she gives him a kiss and kind of like a pity kiss to me I didn't think she was completely into Pope I think that Pope not Pope I think that Kiara and JJ have a little bit more chemistry do you think they try to push the Kiara John B love

triangle more or no no I think it's Pat I mean Sarah ran away at sea with him. There's no way that he's like, I'm going to take Kiara now. Yeah. Yeah. Especially he was in on the girlfriend. Take me instead. Yeah. Right.

You're right. You're right. All right. That was outer banks talk. This was fun. Uh, John B and Sarah forget their real names, Madeline Klein and whatever.
