Let's do it, guys. Okay, well, I would love it if you guys would leave the juice as to why.

She's not in season three, like, just a little bit. No, like, big spoilers, but, like, why didn't she go on? I want to know. Leave it in the comments. Did the music of me, Tara. We love you. Gregory's in the music and me. That was the wrong note.

You are the music and me. Wrong note again. Okay. I loved it. I thought it was great, and I called out Blondebee stealing the stuff. He didn't call it. I did. End of story.

who is that girl I wish we could have seen what I was really disappointed that we didn't get to see how Ricky turned around we didn't get to see the I wanted to see the end of the show Beauty and the Beast I wanted to see it and I wanted to see the kiss what the F is up with that

and what else I mean I still think and the teacher was doing a really great job of like keeping it down I also thought we would maybe like get to the Menkees to see but I guess not I mean why just throw out the competition right just like at least wait to see if you're like nominated you know why why drop out i

agree well because it's not for them it's for us sorry you yawned it's been a long day um a bunch of bullshit yeah bunch of BS don't i know it uh Olivia Rose Keegan yeah is are you looking it up looking her up okay look her up her gender identity is female I was guessing What am I looking up? I don't know Why did Olivia Rodriguez leave high school musical? Yeah, thank you

Okay, let me see if it doesn't spoil anything Okay, so she just becomes a reoccurring cast member Okay, but she was the lead Why would she not be the lead? Because she wanted to pursue her music career. got it okay well her music is great her music is amazing and they feel like they

evolved nini to reflect her i agree she's like a lyricist herself like she's mainly drawn to songs like her work a lot of times is really much imbued first in the lyrics yes which is why i love her as an artist which is very much nini agreed yeah i've got my drive of size since last week so good her song of her is actually jealous jealous oh jealous is good there's also another one I forget the name how's it go that's the problem I have like a bunch of I have saved but I don't ever like look at the titles I'm just listening

yeah it's so good she's coming here in August or something is she I think she'll have seen our reaction yeah watching the high school musical reactions we should type her and be like hey can we get tickets because we've really been shout out your name

girl we're super fans we're like the only ones throw us some tickets okay because like we love this show and we're very like we are absolutely a little bit like oh we don't like the fact that she's not going to be in three as much because i've loved her but it's still going to be i'm sure great o j j and gina are like oh e j j j and jina are great i love i love that and you know what if they don't open up season three episode one with their kiss or show us a flashback of that i'm going to be very upset she is here in august okay so i'm going to do is i'm going to get front row tickets and

send you a photo yes please i'll take the photo oh that's good this is good um all the songs were great the songs are good they were good he's gonna go to the concert he's gonna send me a picture it's gonna be out of focus on purpose

because it's him it's our role yeah that's what he does I don't know what else to say except this It's been a fun journey, and I would like to go on to season three. The patrons are the ones keeping us here, so if they keep juicing it up. Yeah. We love them. If you increase it by a quarter every month, wow.

Then we're doing all right. Serious profits. I don't even know if you're allowed to do that on Patreon. Serious profits. Really? No, we need to just keep the lights on over here. I mean, that's all we're really at right to. Exactly.

It's just breaking even. People are going to believe the words that you say, Gorgary, and I'm here to tell you, we just need to keep the lights on. I believe you. Turn on the air conditioning. Well, I thought this was a really solid season two finale. Me too. Other than missing out on some stuff, it's got me in treat for what's to come for season three. That ending song was great with the four-part harmony.

Oh, yeah. That was really beautiful. That's a great summary. I am very, hey, I'm doing my best right now. He's doing it. Me too. Me too. Okay.

Aaron purged me five times or watching Alien. That sounds suggestive. They know what purged is. I don't. They might not know. They might not know. Okay, just to highlight high school musical crowd, if you go over to my reactions with Roxy,

she scares me a lot. We call it purging because we went through the whole purge movies. And so now everyone else on the Railway Jix team decides to scare me, which we call it purging me during a scary movie all the time. It's exhausting. I don't try. I know. I'm glad because then I can just relax.

Yeah, I want you to feel comfortable And that you could be your authentic self I don't have to worry about being attacked While watching something He's saying all this just because he's on camera I think it's messed up what they do I don't think it's right to treat other people like that In a professional work environment

It's not okay It's not okay to purge We might sell some purge merch But we will capitalize off of it Because everybody loves a good purge The song That song was dope I think who's the boyfriend

Lennox who it's his tape Ricky no wait who the black couple oh howie Howie

I don't know where I got Lennox yeah I'm like What are you talking about It just looks like a Lennox Doesn't it Sounds like a printer Howie

That that Howie performance was very strange That was out of a different genre of a movie I don't understand The choice That was weird the Beauty and the Beast songs were fun

let me try to wrap my head around the entirety of giving up on the competition I think so much of the folks has been on it that I guess I just didn't quite buy the final decision to do it I think like thematically I understand there's a whole message here yeah but in the moment still it's like

you guys just you've been very extreme about this competition this entire time and sure, maybe you had your great performance, but I feel like it's still somewhat, you know. Right. Like, why drop out? Yeah, or at least maybe read the scores, and if it's crap, then burn it and be like,

you know what, we don't do this for them, we do it for us. I don't know. I still feel like if we opened up and they were at the Mankees in season three, it would kind of make sense, but they're probably not going to do that. Yeah, I wouldn't care to watch that.

Yeah. I thought we would just wrap it up this episode. And I guess that's their version of wrapping it up. The Gina E.J. moment was really cute. It wasn't the strongest ending, I think, with us not finding out the score. And then I get the message. It's not for them. It's for us.

I liked that. But there maybe could have been a stronger way that they could really put that, presented that idea. Sure, sure. I mean, as far as it goes, I think there's enough moving parts that were touching enough. And it's not the ending of the show. So we just have to wait and see. Yeah. I liked how Ricky gave because now it's like, but wait, the

very exciting part is the triangle love with teacher and then robotic teacher and Ricky's dad and Ricky just gave her like the okay to date my dad kind of a vibe and now the robotic teacher finally speaks up to her and just says it straight out. You or us, that's why

I'm not going to move. That's insane. So I'm very curious where that's going to go because he goes, unless you have a better option which would be Ricky's dad. She seems like She's really into Ricky's dad. I know. And he is really into her.

Because the line that he said, nobody says that when he goes, yeah, this would be the second time I felt that feeling. That's like a big feeling and that's a big thing to say. I mean, it would suck for him to go through a divorce, lose the house, and then get his heartbroken by the very next girl. Again, yeah. It's called a rebound, baby. It's called a week. Rebound. It's called loser status.

rebound oh man you gotta catch the fish in the net and reel it in reel it in yep bait it up reel it in eat chop chop its head off

bite its head off you chop the woman's head off and then you grill the body and you clean out the guts yeah and then you grill the body and you grill the body unless you want like a whole brandzino on the plate then I think there's still bones

I mean the option is there pick it up yeah pick it up chomp chomp chomp except fish bones are Those are sharp. People watch our videos for some reason. Yeah, I don't understand why either.

I assume they would have shut it off by now. I want to take a quick moment to thank today's sponsor, Acorns. I first heard about this investment app from Dwayne to Rock Johnson. Not directly, I just saw an ad for it. And I was like, let's try this out because let's be real. Investing can feel like a daunting task.

And so does Dwayne the Rock Johnson. And there's other things that happened. The bloopers were hard over me. You know what this got me to think about. The, and I'm sure you can relate for the thing I'm about to go into Tara. I was hanging out with a director yesterday. Oh, my God. Greg knows like two people.

Anyway, he's been directing this Peacock series. That's apparently Universal's really been promoting a lot. They're geared up to promote a lot. Cool. And they were out. We were gone for like six months. He came back a few days ago, went to talk to him. And I was like, what's that experience like where you're just gone for six months?

You're with this casting crew doing this series the whole time. You're not at home. So you're just with them the entire time. how hard is it to just say bye and let go with that yeah and he said like it's it's a lot times it's very hard and he said this one's a very hard experience like say bye yeah because you're not like filming in L.A. and you got to go home and you're like a chance you could just see them or hit them up like it's less likely no you get post gig depression that's what we call it oh that's the word yeah post gig depression I always get it I thought that just meant I'm out of a job

no no it's like you're out of you're not on set anymore you're not with the same people you're not hearing like first team to set and like okay let's settle hit your mark do you want to do a quick rehearsal you don't hear like and action great that was a great take let's resettle go to makeup like being in that world is such it's such a different experience than when you come back to real life and it's just like no one's telling you what to do you're not being fed and you're not like living your life in the way that like you're not living your dream it you get depressed then you also like hang out a lot and you have lunch together dinner together you know you spend a lot of time together might spend the weekends they become family when you're on set you become a family you become close yeah and so seeing that vibe in the the real the blooper reel there seemed very palpable I agree Olivia Rodriguez was like sobbing I know and you know when she sobs I sobbed me too we feel her we feel her a lot she's great and got my drive inside since that's good i i'm going to feel so sad when it's your last day filming

when when is it august 17th so will the picture be in view or i mean like i don't want to be like rude right flash okay well i might i also kind of just want to be in the moment

yeah so like you don't want to take out my phone my Just extract me. There's going to be a bunch of people taking photos. There's going to be a lot of videos, you know. Cool, go, go, go, go. And I just want to take it in for myself. Absolutely. So no pictures.

So I might be in one of those photos. Yeah. I'll look in the background, I guess. I'm not going to, I'm not going to do that. Just look up that. I won't be there. I'll be at home scream crying into my pillow. It's different about that than every weekend.

Nothing. Not much different. It would just be a louder scream with Olivia's record on in the background, which I probably know better than, you probably but I'm a man I get better privileges in life I'm able to get away a lot more yeah I can convince brands to give me stuff for free really with the promise that I'll do something in return and then don't then I get in trouble on Twitter later oh I'm willing to do that to get good tickets and the difference with men and women is that I would

get a brand deal and I would always fall through and I would never get you out of that on Twitter because I'm a professional. You see what I mean? But everyone knows a good comeback story, you know? Not really. It's like, it's more like vengeance or revenge. We love those, but like a comeback story, you me weird. And in fiction, we love vengeance. In real life comeback story. I'm going to have a comeback story.

Okay. But you got to fail. Yeah, you got to fail and do some terrible things. You got to make an apology video on YouTube. And I already shot one a while ago. You did? I'm just, you just got to, you never know. That's one. That's one I haven't uploaded it. You just never know when you're going to have to upload that video. I really think we need to get you to rock bottom first.

I know, but the video shot in advance. So that way, I don't have to shoot it that day because otherwise, I mean, I'm not going to want to be, I'm probably going to want to be eating food. Right. I'm wondering if I can be involved in the plan of your demise. I think you've been a massive contribution to me. Oh, I'm a big contributor. Yep. Yep.

So should we get out of here? Yeah. We should, right? We love you guys. We definitely spent most of the time talking about the two episodes we just watched, I think. I think we spent most of the time. Most of the time we spent on high school, the musical, the series, the season two finale. That's what we talked about.

We love you guys. Spread hugs up and laughter. See you on the next one. Thank you.
