start to creep in
we all
need someone
who has our back.
To tell us, we'll be okay, to remind us of our ability, to believe, because their belief in us transfers to self-belief and reminds us of all that we're capable of.
We all need someone to make us believe.
Hashtag, you got this.
This video is brought to you by acorns and prize picks. More on them in just a bit.
Episode four, Daredevil, born again. Commence.
All righty. Well, guys, we just watched episode four of Daredevil Born again. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure you give us five-star rating on Apple or Spotify. And also, if you enjoyed this episode, it's because of the fine folks over a paper. They edited down these highlights so that you could be able to watch it on YouTube. So we appreciate all their hard work. They are amazing. Also, rejignation shop.com. It's where you get cool teas like these. We got an amazing shirt out right now. Fiskey business. Go get it right now.
let's lead it off greg what do you would how do you feel by the way i want to i want to how do you
feel that's good thank you for us oh you're welcome you're welcome that's what i'm here uh yeah no
i love the show i think it's a good show i think it's a really good show i feel like uh consistency
counts and the the ability to develop and improve and grow and this episode was a good myriad of
doing things from the past whilst i'm going to cut this out of the review andrew please yeah
thank you um let me cut that so uh let me find this flow again i think it's a good uh myriad of
uh things from the past that managed to be a good blend of both okay i'll just talk about
the punisher scene the punisher scene like the punisher scene in particular
was like there's a lot writing on how they execute this one scene right now it could just be like a
good nostalgia moment we've had characters return or show up on screen we had it with wilson
fiske and hawkeye where it's like oh he's back i'm not loving this as much as i thought i would
and they did it they made a great punisher scene with him and matt that not that wasn't just a
reminder of like the greatness of john bernthal but it's also the greatness of what these two
characters can do to bring out of each of one another whilst that they've been like breaking down
matt this whole time to rebuild him back up so he can be born again as daredevil and that scene was
such a great like breaking moment for matt that i think this episode is the the best blend
of the old and the new
when it comes to the new
style that these creatives are doing
and with the old
like this feels like a great sequel
episode and so
three was my favorite
and I'd probably put like the high
I don't know about it as a whole
it took me a while to fully grasp like
what are they doing with this whole thing
with the guy getting arrested
over the cereal boxes
it took a while like really grasp onto like
what is the point of this
and when I did it clicked
but the the moments in the
last half of this whole episode from like the Wilson Fisk, the messa therapy scene to the
Punisher scene and knowing where that's going to lead to, I imagine five and six are going to
be like dedicated to the adventures of Daredevil and Punisher. And the reveal of where Adam is
this whole time. I just, I feel like it's a, this show has really been like the first episode
I love, second episode was like, I don't know how I'm going to feel about this. And now I'm like,
okay, I pretty much love this show. And I'd be surprised if it just feels like it's
getting better and better when it's already pretty strong right now.
So, yeah, I can't wait for next week.
Awesome.
Aaron, how are you feeling?
I'm feeling good.
Put my mic back in because we're talking.
I liked the episode.
I think I'm possibly more in the Greg camp or it was in the second episode.
Not that I had qualms with it per se, but this one definitely felt like a stepping stool episode largely.
that being said i did enjoy the stuff that we were getting like the stuff with frank and matt was
probably the best stuff in the episode like matt really letting that vulnerability out because frank
is pushing him and challenging him to recognize his pain and then connecting his pain to his own
i thought that was a beautiful scene and the further evolution or escalation of you know the state
of Vanessa and wilson fist's relationship also him being kind of bad at being like a mayor
at least the public aspect of being a mayor i thought that stuff was a little entertaining and yeah
this one this one felt more like a an addition into the the pressure cooker of matt turning back but
i felt that feeling permeating throughout in the last episode with the the case and his
reflection kind of putting back on him and seeing somebody else get their flowers when he
hasn't had the opportunity to get himself in the city i thought that was really really cool and
interesting. But yeah, I'm enjoying it overall. I like getting the tease of Mews. I'm still
curious as to know how he's going to play into all of this overall. I'm liking the supporting
characters. I think Heather is really interesting playing both this emotional role for Fisk and
for Matt and for Vanessa, but doing it in two totally different ways, one on the professional
side, the other, the more interpersonal relationship. Yeah, I'm like I've left feeling
only episode. I'm like, that was good. I wasn't like, hadn't had my, my mind blown, but I was like,
yeah, I liked where this is going. It wasn't a step down. It was just like a steady. And that's
how I feel right now. Awesome. Fellow geek checked, Coy, how are we feeling? I think I liked it a little
more. In my experience, it felt like a escalation to, like, I feel like the second act's about
to kick off. And though I don't disagree of the bridge element, like I liked the bridge, I think
a little bit more. But I love
the paralleling they've done with every episode
of Matt and Wilson
and the journey they've gone on
that mirrors each other. That has been the strength
of the show since Netflix. But this episode
it felt like the most literal
one where it was, what
would it take for two men
who have sworn an oath to do
a thing to break and fall back into their old
ways? And I really like that Wilson
is just
under duress of singing.
Like I love the pressure of being
the mayor being one thing, but also just like people not understanding, you just need to get
it done and people not, like he can't take bureaucracy and he can't take the mundane, he can't
take people not understanding, like all the things that would drive him insane, like in one episode,
we had the bureaucracy and red tape, we had someone messing up and though it ended well for him,
it was him not being able to handle it as usual way, which was a moment of strength that then
mirrored his conversation with his wife later, but you also had obviously all the singing and
that madden is building up.
But I love that underneath, we've always had Adam in a cage.
Just like underneath, we always knew Matt was going to come back.
He didn't get rid of his stuff.
It was always like waiting for him.
And then Matt, he's already lost faith in one way.
He hasn't been to church in a year.
And that's always been like what the show has been about.
I love that him losing faith in the law.
And losing faith in that system is what's kind of driving him.
So to have Punisher be someone who's worked outside of the law,
someone who lost their ability to believe.
and I also love that they each used each other's language.
Matt referred to service, which Punisher served,
and Punisher referred to guilt,
which is what Matt says it's his work.
So I really love the visual language of the dance
each of them was doing to press the other ones buttons.
Matt wanted to press Punisher's buttons
because he wanted to fight,
and Matt wanted to be there for that violence.
So he used the language that would trigger,
which was also an element that I really enjoyed,
John or sorry Frank most and that was that use of service and then he was struck by that word and like got viscerally angry and then in turn I love that he was saying guilty guilty guilty a word that would like cause that riling up in Matt as a lawyer and also the moment he's going through feeling guilty of his friend so there's this really incredible use of language throughout this episode that all mirrors the visuals we're getting with them to paralleling that also moves the plot forward all while we have this undercurrent of what's going to bring them all together with like an underlying
message and that's muse. And I
really liked that the episode didn't end
on a cliffhanger with punisher like it could
have. And I think most shows would have. Instead
it reminds you who the show is about, which is
the Daredevil and Kingpin
dynamic being paralleling back and forth
and then button of the thing that's going to bring it all to a crazy
boiling point, which is me. So I thought this was really well
crafted. And personally, this episode
felt like a graphic novel to me where I was like,
oh, this issue, this is this, this is, oh my God, and then we're
done it all! So I got
a lot of this. Awesome. Yeah.
I really enjoyed this episode as well.
I agree with everything you guys are saying.
Just really quick, to answer Aaron's question about how did Frank know that Matt was Daredevil,
I believe in Season 2, right?
Yeah, in season, obviously they had that whole scene on the rooftop where they were talking.
And then when I believe he was asking him some questions, either in the hospital room or at the courtroom,
one of those two scenes, it was one of those two scenes.
John Bernthau, Frank gave a look at him saying, I know you are Daredevil now.
so I believe that's to answer your question he also saved him off the rooftop with his
sniper but he didn't take his mask off no no no it was nothing like that but again
his mask was off on the rooftop wasn't it when he no when he was chained up no he's like
it's not important who you are I don't I don't know when he saved him when he was like
fighting in the hand or something like that at the end of season two and Punisher saves his
ass on the rooftop he should his mask off yeah Matt's mask was off and then it reveals it's
like oh Punisher shot the guy when he has a sniper I might you might you might be right on that
but I always took it as...
It's been nine years.
I always took it also...
Again, you might be right, but I also...
I didn't rewatch that season, but I was like...
You would think Aaron and I would be honest.
That stood out to me because I was like, yeah.
Again, it stood out to me because of the way Frank
his body language and the way he responded, like, in the courtroom,
like he knows.
There was some things I took away that I like the teasing of the niece.
I like how intuitive she is.
I did mention it during the reaction that,
I really like the parallel on how much Wilson Fis sees of himself, a scared little boy that looks up to him in, what's his name, James Gandefini's son.
I forgot the character's name, right?
But I do like that parallel that's fascinating because he was ready to ostracize him and almost get physical with him.
But again, he sees a lot of himself in him when he was younger and what his father used to do to him so that, again, he was feeling vulnerable in that moment to not do anything, not react.
but then also give him a stern warning not to make that type of mistake.
I think that's going to cause, I mean, just a little prediction,
but I think that's going to cause him because I think it was you, Greg,
who said, like, oh, when we were watching that scene happen when he was getting drunk with BB,
that is he kind of using her in this position when he's drunk?
I feel like he is going to learn from the errors of his ways with her,
and he might set her up in the future to do that.
So I'm curious what is going to happen in that.
But I find their dynamic and their chemistry is so damn good, those two actors.
By the way, just really quick, this has nothing to do with anything.
You know me, how I like to do stuff like this.
But I find it interesting, the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie, the bully for Matt Murdoch, when they're younger, is James Gandoffini's son in the Sopranos.
And then his actual son is in the, in Daredevil.
So both James Gandepini's sons, one in the Sopranos.
That's right.
Fictional Gandalfleck and Real Gandoffini.
I just thought about that.
I was like, oh, my God.
I totally forgot about that.
Random thought.
But yeah, no, that scene with, in the therapist's office, I thought that was great, too.
I just, again, like how intuitive and we get to see, because we haven't really seen too much of her character.
So I liked seeing, like, you could see, too, the interrogation side with Heather, where she's like, so what happened to Adam?
Where's Adam?
She was like, she was really trying to question Wilson.
I think she had a feeling like he's, even if he is holding him captive or whatever the answer is,
he's not going to lay it out there for him, uh, for her rather. So, but I do like that instinct to do that.
I do fear, um, because I think Koi is going to be absolutely right that that guy who was a, like,
they made it very establishing that that guy is like. Of some importance. Yeah, of some importance. So I have a
feeling that you are correct. And I have a feeling too that he's going to hurt or harm her in some way. And that's could drive
man off the deep end possibly. We'll see.
I think Adam's played by my friend
Lou Taylor Pucci. Oh, really? Yeah.
It was really hard to see through the bars,
but I was like, I think it's my buddy Lou.
Yeah, with the way it was lit up.
Yeah, I'm sure.
But I think if you guys seen Evil Dead, the
new remake with
New Dead. Yeah, I love that one.
Lou and that is, and he's
friends with Justin and Aaron. I think it
was Lou. Really? I don't snap.
Okay, do we have a name for Adam? Adam, Lou Taylor.
Lou Taylor Bochee.
Hey! Hey!
She's doing the work
Yeah, he's buddies with Justin Aaron
So it makes sense
He did this movie spring with him
Yeah, it was very quick
I was like baby
That was John Berthel
Oh, Christy!
What?
What?
I got to say to this show
Not being predictable
I'm impressive
Yeah, it is
But like that scene with the guy
In the bodega stealing the stuff
I'm like he is so ungrateful
And I just thought
That's what we were going to stay with them
Like okay cool
But then when it got into the real life
stuff and what he was explaining, like, holy shit, this is actually hitting deep, but I was also
not expecting it and the way it was affecting Matt as well, and like shaking his faith in the
system as well, and also us as an audience. Like, I was not expecting that. Again, this is the
type of writing and the type of storytelling that I gravitate towards, and I was really appreciative
of that. Reject Nation, like many of you, I'm assuming, I didn't come from what you would
call a strong financial background. My family did lose their home. I grew up constantly hearing
that we were poor. So when it comes to money and investing, I've never felt competent. Yet my entire
life, people were like, you have to invest, you have to invest. But outside of a couple of areas,
there's honestly very little I tend to understand about finances. Genuinely, that's why I love
our sponsor for this video, because I was using them before they were a sponsor, Acorns. They make
investing stupid simple. I can set aside a little bit of money, watch it grow over time, and actually
build the safety net without feeling overwhelmed.
by the process. Here's just a few reasons why it's so valuable. You set it and forget it. Your money
just grows in the background. No stress, no guesswork. Acorns recommends an expert built portfolio
tailored to your needs. Small steps truly do add up to major differences. Tiny investments
can turn into something much bigger for your future. So yes, I've been using Acorns for a while
now and it has made investing feel effortless. It's a simple way to start. Even if you don't know
much about finance like myself. And I love knowing that every little action I take now is setting up
future, Greg, for success.
And you guys can feel the same way, too.
So you can start investing today.

Thank you again, Acorns.
You again, Acorns, you're sponsored in this video.
Reject Nation, fun fact.
Fantasy football is now a part of my life.
Why?
Because my wife.
and her friends are obsessed with it.
So I'm constantly hearing about things I've never heard about before.
Like who's getting benched, who's a sleeper pick,
and why someone's entire weekend was ruined over a bad play.
And at this point, I figured might as well support my wife the extra mile
and get in there myself.
And that's why I want to think prize picks.
And my wife will tell you I'm not the sharpest tool in the show
when it comes to stuff like this,
but price fix is the easiest way to play daily fantasy sports.
No complicated drafts, no long-term commitments.
You just pick two to six players to decide if they'll get more or less.
Then there's stat projections, like passing yards, points, or rebounds, sports terms.
And if you get it right, you win.
It's that easy.
And it's quick.
You can make your picks in under a minute, way less stressful than managing a full fantasy team.
And you don't need to be a hardcore sports fan either.
Believe me, you don't.
Whether you casually follow games or go full deep dive mode.
It's fun either way.
And the flex play.
Flex play means you can still win even if you miss one pick, so it's not all or nothing.
And here's the best part.
prize picks is available in most states including this lovely state california texas
georgia so it's so easy to jump in so be an amazing thing for yourself and to support the channel as well
you could download the prize picks app today use code rejects and get fifty dollars instantly
when you play just five dollars you don't even have to win to get the bonus prize picks people
run your game well koi and i would just watch the movie called higher learning which is
pretty much breaking down how like the american system not
just like recent developments and the last just like the the actual root of everything is so
flawed systematically flawed and as it progressed it's like oh that's brilliant like what what
they did in this episode with him because it's such a small tiny crime but even down to the
tiny not like some massive televised trial of punisher or white tiger but a really tiny crime
And, like, oh, man, I can't even really fix something like this on this kind of level.
Like, you're talking about how he's learned, how he's really beginning to see the law is not effective.
And there's so much about the conversation of what is vigilantism, is that okay?
And I think this is the, because even the other show, the seasons are constantly having the debate of like, should I be a lawyer?
Should I not?
Foggy didn't want me to be daredevil.
He says, I should just go by the law.
It's constantly the debate that he's having.
and I feel like part of where this show is going to land
is some type of true, genuine marriage of both in some way.
That seems like it's always been kind of the goal
and he's never quite achieved it.
And I think in some capacity we're going to get there,
but that requires some extremism on both sides
before we can find that perfect balance.
If this ends like the Mark Wade run
where he reveals that Matt Murdoch is Daredevil
and tries people in court as Daredevil,
I will lose my mind.
And then Dr. Strange has to erase
the memory.
No one knows who
but if they go registration act
they're like people reveal on their identity
I'm going to lose my mind.
I also really
I love it for what they did
with Wilson Fiske here.
Like we guys were pointing out
both of both the points you two were
making particularly was
one is you're seeing
this side of him hating being mayor
and it's actually kind of funny
like it's funny in a way
where I was going
to myself throughout this episode like he just seems so human in the therapy session it's missing
some of that larger than life like terrifying Wilson Fis presence it really was it's amusing it's
entertaining but man I am kind of missing that and then to have the ending moment you're like
holy shit this guy's got everyone fooled even his own wife who he would let in on everything
that that was the ending moment in season three with her was I'm gonna you're gonna know everything
Yeah.
And this, he's not, he's lying in therapy.
He's lying directly to her face at dinner.
Like, oh my God, the monster has been there.
And he's literally just having this, like, fancy ass feast to himself.
Where in public, he is embodying the person.
He's lying to literally everyone, including Vanessa.
Including us.
Including us.
Like, we, the viewers got the same treatment and did not see him for who he was anymore.
That's the difference.
It's like Matt's lying to himself about what he.
he really wants to do. Whereas Wilson knows he's lying. Wilson is intentionally doing. He's like,
I'm just going to keep putting up this act. And so like it didn't. It was weird. Like as a packaged
episode as a whole, it took me a while to really get like, what is this episode doing? But by the time it
ended all those questions that I was sort of having about how it was feeling, I was like, damn, this
episode's brilliant. Like I actually really, I give this episode a lot of high praise for its final effects that it had.
And it's last like 15, 20 minutes
greatly recontextualized the experience
of the first half of the episode, too.
I agree.
Yeah, I thought it was really strong.
And it was crazy that in the first couple of episodes
we had a conversation about how,
oh, Wilson Fis just eats his little egg.
I thought it was chicken up the time,
but he eats his egg and he just one asparagus.
And he's trying to be good.
He's on the path to losing weight.
But in the darkness and the secret,
he has this whole carb-heavy feast
in the shadows of where nobody can,
see him except for this guy
who's getting the, he's getting
the experience of the kingpin in private.
So it's this thing that's privately
creeping back up. How he loses
bad food to taunt. Like he did it
with the Philly cheese stick.
He did it. He did it.
Adam right here. I love it.
I'm sure he's not, yeah, I'm sure he's definitely
not feeding that guy. Yeah, and also
too, Aaron, we talked about this
in private. It's been
interesting because this is, I assume, canon
right, to season one and two of Punisher.
Yeah, sure. Probably.
Yeah, we mentioned that it's interesting because Frank, he retired. He's
Punisher. He retired. He's Punisher. And now it appears he's retired again, right?
He's spotting a kill, right? He's still hunting. Okay. And he's credited as Punisher.
But he's not, he's not the vigilante punisher. Like, he's, I think he's just, Frank
the killer. He's just not using the moniker. Yeah. Well, I did see in the background, there was like
a hundred guns in the background. So I guess, yeah, he still because.
Pretty active. There were like on. Like on.
he's still kill monitors yeah yeah true okay because i wasn't sure just because it seemed like he was
it it appeared too that he was being secluded in that manager's office so i wasn't a hundred
no that's his layer i think what they're doing with have you have you guys seen i mean
you must have seen it mine hunter yeah yeah i love i think what they're doing have you
any of you guys seen mind hunter the netflix i've started never finish it but there's this
the show never concluded but they were building up this this real killer uh btk killer
and they would cut to him like at the beginning of an episode or
end of an episode.
Yeah, that's right of that muse.
Yeah, that's what I'm building to.
Because without a lot of screen time, we've got a lot of anticipation.
This guy's like a serial killer, you know.
And the name of vigilante is a video, but he's a serial killer.
The part of the show that I have not, it's weird.
Like, there are, I don't want this to be taken the wrong way because there's aspects
that I really like.
And I think they weirdly have chemistry yet.
I feel like there's so much thinness about the way it's being executed at the same time.
Like, it's possible to have multiple feelings about a subject.
the relationship with Matt and his girlfriend.
There's something there that just feels so, like, thin on execution and paper,
in spite of them having great chemistry, in spite of me liking the therapy stuff.
Like, they're moving really fast.
It's mounting to something.
But I'm like, she's kind of just serviced as a love interest with a therapist,
as a therapist who has, like, no sneaking suspicion about any of activities that he does.
But at least she hasn't let on that she has any real.
Unless if I can play devil's advocate.
Yeah.
Yeah, if I can play devil's out of game, I don't think his life has been challenged for a point for there to be a riff.
Because I feel like once he dawns daredevil again, that's where he has to be in a position to be in secret.
And then that challenge their relationship is what I'm saying.
Every time you got to them, they're just like, I like you.
I'm saying that I think the nuance.
Now I live here sometimes.
I think the nuance comes with the conflict, comes with the raising of tension and stakes all around.
I also think a problem is we haven't spent a lot of time with that.
No, we haven't.
And there's no real depth to their bond of conversation at all.
I liked, like, Vanessa learning, uh, availing her past.
That was cool.
And you're like, oh, no wonder she's attracted to a Wilson.
Wilson's a terrible husband.
Because he's like, he practiced like, I didn't even know you had a dad.
Yeah.
A father?
Like, what?
You had another man and your wife.
Your dad, like, all this time you've been together.
Like, you never asked her a single question about her parents?
I also, I definitely don't feel for her safety.
And I also think that it would have been a very, like, the original version of the show had a different woman as, like, his wife.
Yeah, it's true.
Like they recast to get the original Vanessa.
So all of those scenes, I'm like,
what would this show have been
without that entire, he's the co-lead of the show?
That's right. That's right.
They brought them back.
This is the show.
So I'm so glad this is the one we're actually getting.
Yeah, and one last thing I wanted to say,
and I'm not enjoying what I can talk.
But I think this episode better than the other episodes
executed that that relationship with them
and paralleling the fact that they were both struggling
to not be men who succumbed to their values.
violence because he apologized to frank for hitting him and they're both seeing what they're trying
to do their intentions are both failing or not working in the way that they would hope it would
work uh matt with the with the guy with the with the market stuff and then Fisk having the red
tape with him around him for the building stuff but then you see the thing I loved about this
episode he wants to do these things because he wanted to do the gentrification like tear down the
old buildings and like build new stuff um in the original series right but
the thing that's interesting about
this version of it is they're
showing that and then immediately following up
with well Fisk isn't doing this stuff he's
not addressing the stuff that's actually a problem
he's just doing the stuff that he feels will
build his legacy up
and I think that's an interesting
there was invalidated in doing things by the book
he's going to build Fis Tower right
yeah
it seems like it looks like a building towards
mayor Fisk with Fis Towers
that's why I like the laughing because it feels
more like the comic book Kingpin that
yeah I thought he was buying Avengers
tower um but i thought he was too and then thunderbolts got it yeah uh but yeah lane owns it i do like that
one scene we got two with the dirty cop who apparently is fully healed now um with him
maybe months have gone by that's why they lived together even months still he's a scroll
yeah he could be but i do like that whole scene where he was threatening mad about you know going to
the bar association etc like i think there's an interesting setup there coming with you know
the adventures of daredevil and punisher like going after those dirty
cops and all that. I'm really excited
especially if we do have Matt reveal that he's
daredevil. I could see that happening in this season.
That might have been the White Tiger purpose to
give a different life. I hope you mentor
is White Tiger Jr. You don't feel like that would have been
leaked by now? I'm watching
this as quick as we can.
I know. I feel like it would have been leaked
that's true. I'm saying off the internet. I've muted
so many words. Yeah, I hate
Twitter. Yeah, I'm saying.
He didn't leak. Everyone suspected it
but didn't leak out. Oh, it leaked immediately
after the wash. No, yeah.
The next day.
Wow.
Yeah.
But the show.
It's actually you.
Yeah, you were like, oh, my God.
It's the Day of the Avengers leased.
Yeah, but the showrunners, they said, something happens.
It's going to piss off fans.
I'm like, why are you even saying?
Yeah.
I remember it leaked a long time ago.
I remember hearing the rumor about that and I totally forgot.
I assumed it was the old show.
So did I.
So that's why I was like, must not be this one.
Yeah, yeah.
But I, that's why I'm like, you know, we're watching this a little ahead, but like, not super
head.
So in the meantime, I'm just like, no internet.
Like, I just don't want to.
But yeah, I think that's all I got to say in this episode
Now Koi understands what I had to go through for Deadpool and Wolverine
God damn it
It's better though, I'm happier not on the internet
Yeah
The gift
I mean you definitely get a lot more peace of mind
I'll say that
And thanks done
Do you any more final thoughts guys before we know
Welcome back Frank
I'm glad Aaron finally had an episode
Yeah
Maybe I'll hate the next one
The key checks are going to hate one together
Yeah
Yeah, so we love hating things.
Anyways, guys, we hope you enjoyed it.
If you stayed with us this song, thank you so much.
We appreciate it.
Make sure you tune in next time when we will be back with episode five of Daredevil Born again.
And see you guys later.
Take care.
Buss.
Tyler Haig.
Dude, it's time to declare you.
You're the king king.
Of our YouTube channel.
Oh, my God.
Yes, you are.
Here you are.
smashing heads getting your own Vanessa dude I can actually you know think about it
and all sincerity you'd look pretty dope in like a kingpin white suit wouldn't he oh yeah
absolutely white suit he just undercutta what you guys got a lot of screens I can watch the
whole city yeah that's where kingpin does and dare us three yeah we finally found
You need, after all these years, all these, the fact that we talked to him about multiple screens, the one thing that actually fits the same as Kingpin, and there has multiple screens watching over the city.
Which would be good.
I would be happy if you were watching.
You would be a benevolent Kingpin, I feel like.
Yeah.
It would be a very chill-ass Kingpin.
You're like, I'm the King.
I got to do good by the people.
Yeah.
I got to look after everyone.
And even if you're beating someone with both hands, like a large, you know, angry baby, there's still like, you know, that pleasant look on your face.
We would get the sense that, like, really, this is probably what's for the best.
That's more than true, John.
More than true.
You're the kingpin.
You're the kingpin.
You're the kingpin, Tyler.
Hague pin.
Ooh.
