That'll leave a stain. Let's watch this. He sounds like his cats. Let's do it. No, oh my God. That leaves us in such a south. It's like they want you to come back next week and watch it. If you're listening to us and Apple or Spotify, we just got it done watching season three, episode one and two. It gives a five-star rating. I obviously like this video, share it.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Comment on it. What? Okay. Obviously, Olivia Rodriguez and all of her juice has already happened, which is why they're filming her separately and she's not with the other people. Here's what I think is going to happen. I think Ricky and Gina are going to juice it. We already got some juice there. And E.J. is maybe going to get with the blonde.
Starting point is 00:01:57 at the camp and there's going to be drama. I agree with you about Jet. I think Jet might get the lead. But I also am really liking where this is going and I don't even mind that Olivia is not super super in this. I have been still thoroughly
Starting point is 00:02:13 entertained and it may just be like I'm not missing her yet because we still get her OG songs which I really like. They obviously put a little more highlight on Ricky because in the first episode we got his solo song in the VW bug and that was a great song.
Starting point is 00:02:30 We didn't get that many OG songs from Ricky and we got some but now I feel like they're really going to juice it up if we're if we might lose Olivia. I'm really liking it. Go. Stop. Stop rocking in your chair and rock us with your thoughts, Gregory. That's a rocky
Starting point is 00:02:45 with my thoughts guys. Rock it. Get ready for these thoughts. Here they come. Thoughts are incoming. Thoughts. Wicker, wicklewicket Thoughts. I thought these two episodes were really fun. Nailed it. Read them and weep, people.
Starting point is 00:03:07 What is going on with the red vines and that girl? Like you called it, you were like, we can't trust her. And then what is she doing? Is she a secret witch? I don't know. But here's what I do know. I think that this camp season is a really great idea.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I feel like this has something to do with playing on the Disney Channel show, channel movie, Camp Rock. I've never seen it. Me neither. Sounds like it's about a camp where they do musicals. Where they rock. Based off of the title and the fact that they flashed at the beginning of this episode one,
Starting point is 00:03:39 they flashed high school musical two and camp rock. So to me, I'm like, okay, so they're taking inspiration from high school musical two, which was them summer vacationing together in camp rock. Right. So, you know, as a big camp rock fan, I'm really excited for the tributes they're paying here in whatever way they are and the storyline with gina i think while feeling different from the other story i like that you actually have kind of two different shows happening at once because they still complement each other right like them like even when she was singing her song and it was
Starting point is 00:04:14 overlapping what's going on at camp i kind of like the melancholy of her story yeah to sort of balance it out and i think i do see the sharper writing already i do see the humor and i think downsizing some of the cast get rid of some of the other ones yeah i hope you guys are watching no one specifically but yeah red where are you red whatever yeah where's biggie yeah so you can not coming back i wonder so them not maybe they'll come back later but yeah to downsize it to get some new players and appearance by corbin blue you could already see kind of like the more awareness in the and the writing and the sharpness of what they're doing uh so yeah i don't really know where it's going to go, but I do see how this season could overall be like a funnier, more energetic,
Starting point is 00:04:59 sharper, smarter season than the last one. This feels a little bit more vibrant for sure. Yeah, I agree that they're not playing like favorites because I assume it's not like all those other characters like Biggie and Courtney's new boyfriend and whatever. It's not like they probably weren't available, but I assume the writers are like, well, we can't just, having it always be them and at the camp, it's like nothing's changed. So this makes a lot more sense in the writing that not everyone would be able to make it. People are off in their own doing different things. But it also gives us, you know, sight into new characters.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And I really like Jet. Like the fact that we're getting new singers here, I really enjoy that. Like when Jet starts singing, I got goosebumps all over my body. I love him. I hope that he sings way more. And I hope he does get the lead. I'm loving it. I'm loving it.
Starting point is 00:05:48 He's totally hurt people, hurt people. and like he seems hurt Shut up He seems hurt You know what you're talking about My family love me No he got birth My family loved me
Starting point is 00:06:01 They were mad at him a lot They left me with the neighbors For exactly Because they were busy And they needed something to do They needed you not to be around Is what they needed That's not what they told the cops
Starting point is 00:06:14 I'm like Hurt people hurt people Jet is hurt he's mad about something We'll figure it out, though. They're going to tell us, this seems juicy. I'm ready for it. Yeah, I like all the new characters. They even like the new girl, the weird one.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Me too. The Red Vine Girl. Like, does she have a secret witchery that she's going on in the camp? What's her name? I don't know. You're asking me, like, I know names. Okay. I know no one's name ever.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Okay, let me type in, who plays the Red Vine girl? If anyone type that in, I'd hope that it would be me. I would love to be the first. red vine girl like red vines if you're watching this cast me in your commercial please i've done little seizures i've done that other pizza one i've done it for like weight protein i just do one for like care credit like i need a red vine commercial nothing popping up here all right high school musical season three cast cast cast cast cast okay sailor curta is her name oh weird name cool name so what do we know her from she's from high school musical i from before can you look up her iMdb

Starting point is 00:08:21 It's the remake of Walker, Texas Ranger. Oh, my God. Is it good? You guys leave it in the comments. I need to know. I want them to tell me. High school, the musical, the series people will know about Walker. I guess I don't know her from anything.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Me neither. I didn't recognize her. That's what I was like. She's probably a musician or something. I don't know. Should we follow her on Instagram? Sure. It's not like she needs and she seems very popular already.
Starting point is 00:08:46 But yeah, why not? Yeah, she's really popular. Look, she's a photo with her and Gina. Look, they're friends. They look like best friends. Oh, here's a... They're holding a dog. Here's a shot from the final scene of the whole show
Starting point is 00:09:01 where there's a bulletin around. Shut up. Oh, my God. That's a terrible. That's such a bad joke. I can't believe they ended the show, though. Oh, my God. Gregory, Alma, we have to get out of here.
Starting point is 00:09:12 You have to go watch Deadpool and Wolverine. No, I don't. Or something. I don't want to watch Deadpool Wolverine. I want to talk about Sailor Curda. She's Peruvian. Oh, my gosh. You guys, we love you.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Wait, let's look up who plays Jet. Okay, yeah. Oh, look him up. His name's Adrian Liles. He's a singer. He is a singer, right? Straight up. Go to his Instagram.
Starting point is 00:09:33 He's got 56,000 followers. Oh, my goodness. He went to the Descendant's Rise of Red premiere. Can you click the video where he's singing? Click it. Turn it up. Put it in the mic. Oh, sing it.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Uh-huh, uh-huh. We're getting a copyright claim. Don't you be talking by. Adrian Liles. Don't you will be caught your mouth. He's a good looking guy. I love him. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:10:06 His songs give me goosebumps. Okay. Still about Olivia Rodriguez from me, man. I agree. Tell us, leave it in the comments. Who's your favorite character right now so far? I'd be really curious. Olivia just touches my heart.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I watched her documentary, you guys on Prime the other day. It's about where she goes through her Sour album step by step and in every song kind of where she was driving back from Salt Lake to L.A., it's great. It was dropped like six months ago. I watched it literally three days ago. And she mentions no names, but I think we can decipher on her own who she's talking about. But she wrote the whole album in a year while she was still a senior in high school. She wrote Sauer, which is.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Obviously, everything that was going down with Ricky, you can see all about it, but we get to meet her producer and see the inner workings of her creating this album and writing songs with her producer, and it's great. I like the new Ricky. I think he's so funny. The new Ricky. He's just so mopey, and I just love how, like, goofy he is. Yeah, he's kind of gotten his juice back, and I think he's really going to get it back with Gina. And I like E.J. and Gina together. The chemistry is great.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Me too, but I have a feeling like they're setting it up, or Ricky and Gina. are going to no no no they are no in that photo i saw they were the they were in a wedding photo and they were shooting they were shooting sailor curb it's so bad it's literally the worst it's a show it's not real life it's so bad you are such an idiot oh my god what else do you have to say nothing i mean everybody's dead in his book everyone dies in high school everyone's still alive in my book we love you guys leave a like leave a comment obviously share this video thank you to the patrons go to reject nation shop.com get your gear baby we love you so much and we will see you on the next one bye I don't know what that what wave you're doing rock and roll
