Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you to Huell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Let's do this thing. With you guys, we'll be there on the other side. Let's go. Gang. If you are with us right now, leave a like on the video. Go ahead and subscribe.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Click that notification bell so you're notified with the next Dexter Marathon. block comes your way and don't forget to show your gratitude to the folks over a prepper.

If you happen to be listening to this on the Apple or the Spotify, leave us a little bit of a rating there. If you could, if you'd be so kind. And Drew Shige.
Starting point is 00:01:01 John Nizio. I'm going to pull up these questions here. Let's do it. But let's go on and get the first little impressions you had. I mean, I'm definitely liking the season so far in the angle they are taking. First of all, I just like, I always appreciate in seasons of shows when we see the ramifications. of previous seasons and like what it does to a person or the psychology of a person you know you got first of all with la guerta let's go with her and you know she was so close to dokes and she never believed that he was the bay harbor butcher and you can really see how much she has hardened and how much distance uh you know she has uh taken kind of like from the entire squad even though she's still like interacting with them and stuff but like she almost feels like an entirely different person,
Starting point is 00:01:59 although in one sense that is the same as she still feels kind of like a home wrecker, or it feels like it's going down that route, but the performance by the actress is still there, and there's still a great deal of charm for the character, but you can tell she has clearly been
Starting point is 00:02:15 changed from this horrific event from someone that she was very close to, so I think that is a definitely compelling angle that they are taking with her character i really like this other angle that they're i liked in the first 20 or 30 minutes or so that we were doing with rita and dexter of everything's calm and good right now there's no issues there's
Starting point is 00:02:40 no conflict everything's good with the children we are a nice wholesome family and i even said as a joke i know there's always got to be some kind of a conflict otherwise what he's going to do a season about right or have a have the story be about yeah but it's like i would just watch a show with them just being a domesticated family and like because I'm so invested in the characters at this point like and with no issues arising I would watch that but of course it's Dexter with that's not what the show's about but I enjoyed like it was nice having that that 20 or 30 minutes or so of them just being like happy and and relaxed but uh then like as uh the episode progressed um we saw Rita laid out the news that she was pregnant, and now
Starting point is 00:03:26 Dexter's really asking himself the question, like, the life he leads and how he was raised, is that, is it possible for him to be a father? Well, actually, speaking of that, we can segue perfectly into our first question. Hey, let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:43 From Nick C. We got a handful, and we do have kind of a shifting schedule, so we will have to be a little efficient with these, but we're going to get to everybody. Nick C for Dexter Season 3, thank you for chiming in here Hey John and Andrew
Starting point is 00:03:58 I'm glad you're still enjoying Dexter and all the twists and turns it provides I have two questions for you guys Do you think Dexter has the ability to raise a child Since he was raised with a code And not a traditional childhood And also if you were to be given a donut By Dexter on his daily routine
Starting point is 00:04:16 What would it be? Okay, number one I do think he is capable of being a father just because of what I've seen from him with Aster and Cody. I think he truly loves the kids and those kids really do him and also Rita do a great job of humanizing him. And I think even you can make an argument for Deb and even all his other friends around him as well. But he really does a great job around them. And there's no reason to think he wouldn't do a great job as a father i just think it's my only concern is the the life he lives as a this anti-hero
Starting point is 00:04:59 vigilante who again i'm so grateful for the things he does on the garbage he literally takes out every day yeah i mean this would this is literally a full-time 24 hour seven day a week job right if you are in assuming him in rita or married or you know living together whatever it is so i guess my only concern is like Rita would probably have to know the truth. I mean, unless you're just coming up with Clark Kent, Peter Parker type of excuses. A galore. Yeah, so like that's the only thing. But in terms of him being a good father, I think he would be a great father. In terms of what kind of a donut would I expect from him would probably have to be some kind of a donut with like red glaze over it, like something bloody. Like a big, vivid strawberry donut. Yeah, I'd probably though get the pink
Starting point is 00:05:46 I like the pink donuts. Those taste good. What about you? Sure, sure. I think, you know, maybe like a maple cruller or something like that, or even with a classic cake ones or, you know, like a nice, you know, like chocolate, frosted Boston cream, something like that. You're like Vince. You need the cream filling. I was going to say, he got that lemon one. That sounded pretty good. And I mean, you know, Angel with the Bearclaw, definitely a solid choice also. But I got a soft spot for maple. and I got a soft spot for like Bavarian cream donut. I'm half Canadian, so I definitely like maple.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Okay, I'm with you. Oh, Al, you know, I'm just emulating your authenticity. What about it? Do you think he'd be a good father? Yeah, I mean, I think the question mark of like, you know, am I going to pass anything genetically fiendish down to the child or am I going to pass any, you know, they say that intense trauma can root, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:43 deeply and affect your, you know, biochemistry in ways. i get that concern of his and that sort of uh you know question mark but i think yeah like what we've learned obviously it'll be different knowing like this kid is mine i participated in making this kid so is he going to have some kind of subconscious hang up about that we're already experiencing the subconscious hang up about that um but yeah i feel like everything he's demonstrated with astor and cody would suggest that you know he would be a good nurturer you know i think he would yeah have enough he he understands enough about what you know societal morality is to be able to guide them him properly it the child them whoever uh yeah i think yeah i think he would have the more chops
Starting point is 00:07:33 than he gives himself credit i would just want to know at what age does he take him out for the first vigilante kill that's right that's the cure that's the thing i'm most curious hey man if he does demonstrate those signs dexter has more experience than any Yeah, just teaching the lessons that Harry instilled upon him. The code of Harry, the code of Dexter. There you go. We're on the same page. Hondo P.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Thank you so much for that question. Appreciate it. And those questions and what donut would you guys be leaving in the comments below? James Rhodes, Dexter. James Rhodes, I love it. James Rhodes. Roadie. War Machine, here we go.
Starting point is 00:08:11 There we go. I haven't seen the show in years, so I don't really have a question. This is more of a keep up the good work. I love this show. I hope we get to see the whole run of the series and love the reaction. Thank you so much. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:23 It's Jaden Rhodes. Oh, okay. I had a dyslexic moment there. I'm so sorry. Sorry, Jaden. I'm sorry. It's my fault. I high-fying them too hard
Starting point is 00:08:31 and his eyes were like a wobbly. There we go. My bad. Reverse five. Thank you, Jaden. Seriously. Jane Rhodes. Really appreciate that comment.
Starting point is 00:08:40 But I mean, you know, if you get to be a war machine, how man could you be? really you know you're pretty I'm sure Jaden would be cool with being more machine like how could you not like heaven? I will read more closely next time but I appreciate your enthusiasm
Starting point is 00:08:56 this is one of our favorite things here to get to watch and if you ever do want to ask a question please do. Our all ears Brandon here we go Dexter for John and Andrew thank you for chiming in I'm loving the reactions Dexter is one of my favorite shows of all time even the seasons that aren't great have
Starting point is 00:09:14 things that are good about them and I hope you guys watch the whole series. What do you think about the character Miguel Paredo and the performance of Jimmy Smith as a character at this time? I love Jimmy Smith's just in general. I mean, again, I've seen him in episode two and episode three of Star Wars as
Starting point is 00:09:33 Senator Bel Organa and I'm trying to think what else I've seen him in, but I mean, he's an incredible character actor. I think he was also in, what was that movie? with Kim Basinger and Christina Ritchie. I forgot that horror movie. I think he was also in that movie. Anyways, he's a great actor.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Has a lot of presence to him, and I'm very interested to see if there's going to be twist with his character, and I think the whole thing with his... Oh, there's got to be. Yeah, I know, I think so far, but the whole thing is, like, he's extremely devoted family man.
Starting point is 00:10:09 So far, I mean, yeah, he's very tied to his job, but, like, family means the most to him. and you could see how extremely hurt he was by, you know, the untimely demise of his brother and, like, how he's willing to go to Andy Links for his brother, like, even if he swore an oath to the law, and he was willing to go outside that, kind of like Dexter, you know, to make sure that, you know, vengeance was taken care of in regards to that. So I feel like there are some parallels between him and Dexter in that regard. So I think he's a very fascinating character, honestly.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And I'm curious as we, you know, expand upon the character and develop the character more. What else is going to happen? And I really like a lot of the interactions because it seems like every time there's an intense moment about to happen, we throttle off a little bit there and like, ah, never mind for a sec. You know what I mean? Kind of thing. So it's like it subverts your expectations in a different kind of. away.
Starting point is 00:11:11 So I like the character a lot so far. But again, I'm interested to see what continues to happen because again, the show is we've talked agnizium about several times, not at hominem. Yeah, the show that we've talked about many times that this show
Starting point is 00:11:27 throws a lot of curveballs your way. So I'm interested to see what else happens with the character, especially now that we've really embraced each other like, you took care of my brother, the guy who killed my brother. So where do we go from here now? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:11:42 Kind of thing. Because I got, I think this is kind of an obvious point. I'm making, I don't imagine Jimmy Smith's character Prado is going to find out that Dexter really did take out his brother at some point in this season. Usually in most shows or movies, the truth usually comes out eventually. But what do you think so far of him? Yeah, I'm big nervous about that for sure. I love watching Jimmy Smith so far.
Starting point is 00:12:05 And, yeah, like part of the fun has become, you know, I'm going to assume that part of the fun of Dexter is, you know, each season you get a great guest star. And I am really excited for this particular guest star. Yeah, because he is just so charismatic. And he carries the stature of the status of this guy really well. And, yeah, his, you know, dubious, like, you know, he appears very upstanding. But as you know, the show is all about, you know, people's double lives or the things below the surface. And, yeah, we already have the idea that Oscar maybe is not the most up and up of the Prado brothers.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And it makes you wonder what the others are up to because obviously the middle brother, the deputy sheriff or whatever, has his own. Yeah, Ramon has his own way of doing things. And then Miguel is certainly in the most visible position, arguably. But, you know, there's that chicky, whatever the other case. Chickie Heinz. Chicky Heinz case where it's like, okay. How did it happen that you got the wrong guy? Was that something that you knowingly forced to happen?
Starting point is 00:13:15 Did you guys plant or do something? Right. Or you knowingly accepted? Or is that an honest mistake? Yeah, what level of reputability do we have here? He seems clearly at least personally inclined to look into this in a way that is not just simply on the record and, you know, by the book. So I'm very fascinated. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:13:37 At this point. Curious to see that. Do they have a whole thing working together that they, the law does not mean, like they, they use the law as a means of, you know, messing with it and, uh, twisting it. Yeah, they, they, um, kind of, uh, um, they use their power of, uh, their positions of power to, uh, what's the word I'm looking to articulate here. They use their positions of power to twist the law and do things and do nefarious things. I'm curious if that's where we go with their characters. It's interesting to see if that's the curveball we get with the family. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:19 It's really fascinating, too, just to imagine Dexter in a position now where, yeah, he's done this and someone's discovered him, but there's this, like, maybe tenuous sharing of that knowledge because maybe, yeah, Miguel is okay with it, wants this. And yeah, it seems like it's going to set up a new set of circumstances for Dexter to wrap his brain around while also this stuff happens in his personal life. So very fascinating. Reject Nation, I have officially lost over 45 pounds this year. I am still working on a couple of extra goals for body composition development. But I'm proud to say I've done it with no injections, no crash diets. Just pure discipline, consistent training.
Starting point is 00:15:00 And yeah, fuel with fuel. But when I started back in January, I was like 218 pounds, and now I'm averaging between like 171 to 173. And one of the things that's helped me genuinely stay on track with having such a busy schedule, especially now that we have this like office away from my home. I got a fridge right over there that is packed with so much of this. Hewles Black Edition ready to drink. Sting's got 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals, slow release carbs, and it's actually a complete meal in one bottle. So I'm not just grabbing a snack. I'm really getting some actual fuel of my cells. Oh man, chocolate and vanilla. They're my two favorites are the main staples. And they aren't
Starting point is 00:15:41 my two favorite ones. No mess, no prep, just grab, drink, and go. Legitimately good taste, no chalky aftertaste. I'm a strict macro plan and I can fit it into my macro plan. Low sugar, high protein, super efficient. I'm all about efficiency. And flavor selection is pretty good.

Starting point is 00:16:56 for my money, is the star of season three. He does an amazing job with the character. Miguel Prado. Yeah, absolutely. I think you'll both love the dynamic between him and Dexter. I do so far. Yeah, some really good twists and turns this season.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I cannot wait to discover what those may be. Emma, hell yeah, Emma. All right. Thank you for, as always, it wouldn't be a Dexter. Yes. Without a question. That's why I shouted you out in the intro of the video. Sure enough.
Starting point is 00:17:20 On to season three. Glad you guys are loving the show. Dexter accidentally kills what seems to be an innocent person. Do you think this will affect his mental state or his effectiveness in his killing? Is he going to get the yips? it's certainly affecting his mental state already and I have to imagine that the toll of that I mean part of the season I would guess is that
Starting point is 00:17:40 is going to be that we're going to unravel who Oscar really was and see the good parts and the bad parts late there but I think it'll definitely continually affect Dexter as we go Well it wouldn't be a Dexter season if everything went so smoothly and perfectly for Dexter right so yeah I could I mean it's already doing that and we saw that's why he was starting to investigate he's like i gotta find him more about this guy so i would definitely see uh i
Starting point is 00:18:07 can definitely see it continuously affecting him until he gets to the bottom of like who are all these prado guys and like what are they about like are they straight shooters is everything good with them and did i mess up even though it's still in my mind even though even if the prado brothers are completely like again they don't use their positions of power to uh you know line their own pockets or do anything like that or they're not nefarious in any kind of way and they truly are good guys. I still think even though it was wrong place, wrong time, and he didn't like
Starting point is 00:18:37 I know it was still outside the coat of Harry, coat of Dexter, whatever. It was still self-defense. The guy hurled a knife at Dexter kind of thing, but I get it. But it's just a place he should never have been. Yeah, I do. I got. There's no way, yeah, he could carry on normal activity while people are like,
Starting point is 00:18:52 what are you doing there, man? Yeah, totally, totally. Emma goes on to say, also, Rita's pregnant. Did you guys expect Dexter to be having a kid, or at least this soon. How do you think Cody and Astor will take this news? Anyway, I can't wait to see your reaction. I hope you guys enjoy the season.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Thank you, Emma. I mean, we should have picked up on that. They were definitely making enough nooky for us to have taken, I guess, on that. But I could see Cody being okay with having a little brother or sister. I, for some reason, not for some reason. I guess my inclination to say Aster is not going to be taking us because she's already, like, you know, she's starting to grow up. a little more now and she's already like starting to have that rebellious type of energy you know from her like you know the way she was acting with the pancakes and stuff like that and it doesn't mean she has a problem towards dexter per se but you know she's just getting in that age where you know again you start acting up a little bit at times so i could see her possibly not loving the idea but then at some point getting around the idea of of embracing and loving the idea of
Starting point is 00:20:01 loving Dexter as a father and then embracing the idea of a new brother or sister. But Cody I see right away coming on board with this. What about you? I don't know. Yeah, I mean, the kids, I think you're probably right. I think, you know, Aster has probably lived long enough to have more reservations.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Cody is probably initially just going to be pleased about it or excited about it or whatever. Could be surprised either way. I mean, like introducing a new you know, presence and source of, you know, adding somebody new who needs love and attention will always kind of create an opportunity where maybe the kids might notice that not as much of that is going to them. So, you know, I have, you know, it'll have an effect on them to some
Starting point is 00:20:45 degree or another, but I don't know. I wonder, because they seem to both really like Dexter. Yeah. And, you know, that's only a means by which we can fortify our family unit in a lot of respects if he does choose, which I would imagine he would. But yeah, to your, to your greater question, you know, to the expectation that he would be having a kid, it's not something that I would have just like pulled out of thin air and said, like, I bet this will happen. But at the same time, with what we've been through with Dexter and Rita, it does feel like, you know, with the way the show is prime not to pull any punches or at least not to dawdle in getting too juicy dramatic developments. This is a juicy dramatic development for Rita and Dexter on the heels of everything
Starting point is 00:21:25 that has happened up till now. It's a little soon, given the grace that Rita has shown him based off of all the other stuff. So yeah, it's like I buy the conflict from both of them individually as well as the trepidation for them together. But it also does seem like a beautiful opportunity for Dexter to grow and to, you know, blossom into this even more twisted shade of self-actualized joy and happiness. And, yeah, like a live feeling. So, yeah, I wouldn't have expected it this soon necessarily, but I expect this show, again, not to, you know, draw things out and getting to places. So in that sense, I'm not surprised that it's happening right now.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Thank you, Emma. Thank you so much. All right, Josh, Dexter Season 3, thank you for chiming in. Hey, fellas, quick one. Is there a fictional or real life? Serial killer or bad guy from one of your favorite shows or movies that you love to see Dexter face off against? Personally, I'd love to see him go.
Starting point is 00:22:25 head-to-head with Hannibal Lecter. Ooh. How do you think your dream? I like that one a lot. Absolutely. That's damn. How do you top that one? I mean, that's the one to go with.
Starting point is 00:22:34 How do you top that one? Oh, man. How do you think your dream face off would shake out? Keep up the awesome work. I'm loving the reactions. I actually subscribe to Patreon specifically for these dexter reactions. Thank you, Josh. Thank you so much, Josh.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Charles Manson, maybe. Oh, golly. Have him go throughout history and just, yeah, clean up all the traumatic. serial killers of our timeline. Boy. I mean, for me,
Starting point is 00:23:01 Dexter and Jigsaw would be super fun just because that's exactly up my alley. I guess maybe since we're going to go like into that, maybe Charles Lee Ray sure that'd be before he
Starting point is 00:23:13 obviously becomes Chuckie Dexter. No, no, no, no, no, no. Not when he's Chuckie the Dolph before he becomes because like I've always thought, I mean, again, I haven't followed the Chuckie lore after since after bride i stopped at bride of chucky to be quite on so i don't know the lore after that but from what i imagine like he was quite the serial killer before he turned into the chucky doll um and
Starting point is 00:23:37 you know with eddie caboodo and all that all that stuff so like i got to imagine that like there's a lot of writing material in there you could do just in general but also like that would be fun to see him go up against dexter um i got to imagine dexter would take about pretty easily though because he's, like, trained in stuff like that, you know, from, what is it, Jiu-Jitsu or whatever he, Dexter learned? Yeah. I think a really tough challenge for Dexter, though, would be, like, Michael Myers, that'd be really, really tough. Yeah, because what could you teach him? How did you do the Dexter thing?
Starting point is 00:24:12 You know, yeah, that's why. I mean, that's, like, a syringe or something like, that's, Michael Myers. I don't know if that would work, right? Yeah. I mean, A, yeah. How would he actually subdue him and B? know, would there be the satisfaction of him showing him all the victims
Starting point is 00:24:26 if he's not going to even care about it? You are purely evil. You're evil, Michael. He's got into the Don Pleasant's voice to him. That's right. And I'll understand him. Yeah, there might be other, I mean, the guy from seven could be a cool one. Never seen it.
Starting point is 00:24:43 You know, the Kevin Spacey character, John Doe, I think he's just called John Doe in that. That would be cool, but just the idea of like an aurivorous of like John Kramer and Dexter and just like trying to prove to each other that they have the upper hand morally speaking, I think would be very funny. Plus all the cool kills and stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:02 That's where I land on that. But thank you so much. I want to see him going against every ghost face. Every single one, line them all up in one room. That wouldn't be a bad idea. Leave yours down below. I like that question. That's a fun one.
Starting point is 00:25:15 All right. All right. One more. From Jay Rushden. If Dexter. What up, Jay. Jay, thank you for being. another consistent voice in these.
Starting point is 00:25:25 If Dexter was an animal in Zootopia, what animal would Dexter be? My answer is a goat so the murder weapon could be eaten. That's a pretty solid choice right there. I could see him being a cheetah or a lion just because
Starting point is 00:25:41 he's got those claws and then that way he could dig into his victims. He's like a fox or a wolf to me I guess because he's cunning, you know. Yeah, I could see that too. But maybe a cheetah because they run so fast so he could catch up to his victims, too. That's true. It's true.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I think, I don't know how fat. What would Cheetahs run like 35, 40? Cheetahs are very fast. The one fastest animals. Yes. I get, I'll go with Cheetah. I think that's, I'll just go with my initial gesture cheetah. All right. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. What other types of Zootopia animals are there? Oh, I, I, I don't think I've seen Zootopia, so I don't know the animals in that. Well, dang it, Andrew, you need a catch up. Leave us your Zootopes down below. any stray thoughts before we
Starting point is 00:26:25 buggy on the next one? I like the direction so far with the characters, the storyline. I really like Jimmy Smith so far. I'm, again, intrigued to see what curves we get, what sliders, what sinkers, what forkballs we get in my baseball references. With the characters, like
Starting point is 00:26:41 again, are they nefarious characters, that entire family or are they straight shooters? Are we going to get another homewrecking situation between La Gorta and him, especially given they have a pass? And with what she did with Pascal's fiancé last season. Because I have seen some comments that did not give away any spoilers,
Starting point is 00:27:00 just that LaGuarda is a piece of schnit. So, but I like her. There's times where I really like her. I really like watching her. I have a lot of sympathy for her. Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. And I like the actress. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:14 And I like the actress a lot. So, you know, I'm interested to see where that goes for sure. sure and again also being in such of a vulnerable and not justifying it but being in such a vulnerable place with what happened to dokes and everyone is completely on the opposite fence of you you were literally isolated and also when i say distance earlier from everyone like f1 one is on the opposite side and how you feel about someone you cared about so much and who everyone else considered a friend it's like might put you in a place where you do this terrible thing possibly with jimmy smits's character knowing he is married i don't know curious if we do go that
Starting point is 00:27:53 route. I don't have the heart to even think about it. Yeah. Yeah, this has been very fun as a start to a new season. Yeah, it's great. I'm really liking it. It jumped right. Yeah, it went right back to like, damn, Dexter's doing his thing. He's life is good. He's got Rita and the kids and they're, you know, blossoming in their newly forged relationship. And he's back out here doing his Dexter thing. And then, yeah, one little set of circumstances goes wrong. And now we're into this and, you know, thicket of new and uncomfortable circumstances. circumstances. And while season two is especially wild in terms of just what they gave him to dance with, this certainly seems like a new, very fascinatingly messy situation. And I think that's a cool, you know, I was wondering, because season one and two feels so much like a piece together, like a completed kind of saga together. It's like, what are we going to do this season? How are we going to kind of change it up? I would imagine. And yeah, this is like, it's so kind of breathless in getting you into things that when, you know, the actual oh shit moment descends. and, you know, Oscar is killed and all this, you know, is set in motion. Yeah, I am fascinated now to know where this is going to twist and turn to over the next several episodes. And I would say, too, last thing, because I know we got to get out of it. I would say, too, a big theme I feel like that's a brewing so far is betrayal, especially with the relationship between Jimmy Smith's character and with Dexter because you feel like, you know, he invited him to his brother's wake.
Starting point is 00:29:19 And then they're, you know, forming this camaraderie. his friendship, it seems like. He invited him over. Off record. He brought him over to his house to meet his wife and have his, you know, Rida come over and, like, embracing him, did you kill my brother's killer? And then you're the one who did it? It's like, the betrayal.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Yeah. It's like, so I feel like that's a big theme that's starting to brew up in the season. So, again, truly going to be curious to see how that unfolds throughout the season because I'm loving all the interactions between. Jimmy Smith's and with Dexter The interactions can be very charming They can feel very brother-esque And also intense and suspenseful at the same time
Starting point is 00:30:03 So I like that nuance and that balance at the same point So it's going to be fascinated to watch as it unfolds He carries himself with the very convincing integrity And it keeps you on your toes as to yeah Whether he's seeing through Dexter in a bad way Or a good way And what either of those contexts even means Yeah. Does he see the truth and he's okay with the truth or does he not quite see the truth but suspects it? Either way, I'm really excited to see where this goes and to continue unraveling the mystery. This is such a joy. Thank you guys for joining us and we'll catch you for episodes three and four next week. Till then, be well and stay out of trouble. See you.
