There's my singing part.
I know you guys hate it.
Some of you love it.
We are watching High School, the musical, the series, season two, episode three and four.
Get out of town.
So dumb.
What else have you got to say?
That was great.
That was amazing.
Nothing.
He's got nothing to say.
Let's watch it.
Oh, they leave us on a cliffhanger.
Wow.
Gina's naked in the room.
It was so good.
We just got done watching season two, episodes three and four.
If you're listening to us on Apple or Spotify, give us a five star writing.
Give this video a like and a comment.
She's not in season three and four.
That's what a comment said.
They were like, meaning.
That's not her.
That's definitely not her.
Not her.
Somebody said that in the comments, but they may not have been right.
I don't see any of these dumb nails.
Go down. Go down. Is that her?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know, you guys.
But then there were comments saying that she is not and it gets better.
How is that possible?
That looks like her. That's what I said. I'm like, she's a phenomenal songwriter.
I don't want her to not be in it.
She's like the main character next to Ricky.
Exactly. So I'm wondering if by the end of people have said that they liked season three and for the most, right?
And in some of the comments, you guys said that.
But I love NeNe.
Me too.
I'm not ready to let her go.
Me neither.
And so I don't know how they get rid of her.
I think we stopped watching after season two.
And they, hey?
Tell the people.
Tell them.
It's a really disappointing fact of her.
It is.
I mean, when I found it out, I was sad.
And then I found it odd that you guys were saying that season three and four got better.
And I'm like, but it doesn't have it, Olivia Rodriguez.
Get out of town.
I mean.
And people are definitely not going to watch our reaction.
It's the one thing keeping this afloat on YouTube.
It's the drama with Olivia that we don't really know, but we think we know.
But we think we know the guy plays Ricky's an asshole.
Yep, we sure do.
And we think he wrote an album in response to Olivia's album,
driver's license during the thing.
It's nowhere near as effective as Olivia Rodriguez.
Absolutely not.
She wrote a song about getting her driver's license.
I got my driver's license last week, just like we always talked about,
because you are so excited.
I'm excited for me to finally drive into your house
in the dam and the suburbs.
Drive into your house?
Drive up to your house.
Up to your house.
And then she ends up driving through the suburbs
and he's not there, but she's still got to drive by.
She's sad because they broke up.
Because he broke her heart because I think he slept with
or got on with the blonde girl who's older than her.
She talks about that in the song too.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
I don't know, man.
I'm getting into Sabrina Carpenter.
lately, but I don't listen to Sabrina Coppter, but I think that's her, the blonde girl, that he
did the juice with.
Is it?
Yeah.
Are you sure?
I swear. I, that, yes, I think so, you guys got to tell, we don't really know.
I, we need to look it up.
We need to look it up after we're done.
Here's what I know about the drama that Olivia Rodriguez and him were dating.
He cheated on her with a blonde girl who may be.
famous ass sticker
Sabrina Carpenter
and he wrote his album in response
and this is what caused her
to not renew her contract for season three
I think so
wow that's a lot of information
because they were actually dating
in real life because of the show
they fell in love
and then they
I think obviously they broke up
or he broke up with her and she was broken hard
and was like I can't go back to this show
and see you anymore because she was like
yeah I don't
I don't know, don't, I mean, you can clarify
they want engagement helps, but I'd rather not know it's too time.
I don't want to know yet.
I'd rather, we can wait it out.
Let's just, I liked these two episodes a lot.
They were great.
I really love the storyline how long they're keeping us in tow with Ricky and Gina.
That is the most in tow.
In tow.
Keeping us in tow.
They're like, they're playing.
with us in there doing it in a really good way. That's keeping me on my toes where we know that
they like each other. Gina obviously likes him. The whole thing with the Valentine's mix up and
the chocolates is great and that she is making him laugh. And they're writing it in the script,
even before she made a joke of like, that was a great idea. He's the only one who laughed. He likes
her ideas. And then again in the hallway, he laughs at her. Like she, her and him joke around.
and we're starting to get the link up that they may be good together,
but we're also like fighting for Nini and Ricky to be together,
and this show leaves us in a lurch of like not really knowing who to cheer for,
which I like, and they're taking their time on it.
But the reason, here's what's weird to me.
What's weird?
If we didn't know, I don't know the timeline of her and Ricky breaking up or all that.
I assume it happened after season two.
So that means did the writers are already writing this in in episode three and four getting Ricky and Gina in play.
So was their idea always to send Nini off to Yak?
And then Ricky and Gina right carry through?
I'm curious.
I don't know.
Yeah, that is a complicated mess right there.
Yeah.
It's tough when co-stars start dating each other.
Mm-hmm.
That's why I have advises against you and John.
Complicate things around.
We have never cried to date.
It's fine.
I had to put it out, guys.
He had to come in with a fire extinguisher and go.
Put out the smoke.
Put out the fire.
The show has become more of a hangout show.
You know, like, the office?
Yeah, absolutely.
Where it's funny because they don't really.
do that whole like talking to the camera thing that much anymore i agree yet this is more like the
office than before in terms of it the stakes don't really feel high it's just more about like what
happens when they're hanging out exactly you know it's fun little plots yeah within themselves
yeah yeah it's a bit melancholic uh which i enjoy yeah but i'm liking the i like in the
parent off. I think this is better. These two episodes
are better than the last two. I agree.
Kind of a lot, actually. Yeah.
The songs are really great. First of up, those songs are the songs when they're overlapping
with the voicemail songs. Amazing.
Those are incredible songs. Like, how did they do that?
Damn. Like, yeah, how did you, that takes a lot of ingenuity?
Like, how do you create that? Like, you have to create a good solo song.
They're not a good solo song. That's someone mixed them together? Or did you write it as one?
I think they wrote it as one where you're playing with the same chords. One is playing
with an octave, not a full octave up, but a quarter up or whatever.
whatever, and then you, I mean, you have to write that together.
But yeah, like how they didn't even, like, keep it, like, you know,
where they're singing the same lyrics a lot of the time.
And sometimes they're overlapping, but with similar meaning, but different lyrics.
That was really impressive.
Yeah.
That was a really good song.
And then even Nini starts getting a music video at the end for some reason.
Yeah.
Suddenly it becomes an actual musical.
I agree.
Wasn't that such a weird choice where she flips around?
He's not there.
We're like, was he there the whole time?
Was he a ghost?
And it's just because they decide to turn it into it.
a music video like they did a style choice that we hadn't seen before when this is not a music this is
not a this is not a the show itself is not a musical and so that's what it's kind it's like musical
in a different way right the rules to the musical were broken it's now become a real musical
maybe that's what happens in three or four maybe in three and four they become a real musical
the way how like the high school musical movies are or every scene is just a music video oh yeah
there you go uh i like red and ashland ashland yeah
they're cute so cute that storyline is good it's it has a lot of heart there i like seeing what
they do for each other and that they're sweet together i will be interested to see how they go
through conflict we're going to have to add that in there but we already added in a little bit
with ashton's character or not feeling like bell and i really like that i think they play with
real honest feelings that people would feel in a day-to-day basis being sure being in high school
but even being like uh you know being cast as an ingenue and you don't feel like one you're
going to be like a little embarrassed and feel like her and I thought that was really true to heart
true Gina yeah man she's great though she's really great she is she grew on us and we didn't
we did not really see that coming and I know some of you guys wrote that in the comments you're
like she'll grow on you and I'm like when and why because she was being such a a dick kind of
in the beginning but now it like I said leaves us in the lurch of are you fighting for ricky and
Gina. Gina makes him laugh and she listens to him and she likes him. And we know that. But we also don't really want to see him and Nini give it up. So this show puts us kind of in a weird spot, but not in a weird spot where you hate, where you hate Nini or Gina for thinking either or Ricky. They're putting, they're playing with it in a really nice way. I respect it.
I got to just know for sure. I got to prepare myself. What is Olivia? Oh, excuse me, if she's in season three.
or not yeah let's see we're gonna be sad in season three is that is it is it
this answered the question oh back in is it was Olivia was to reprise her role for
season three so maybe she has like a cameo but okay so maybe she's in a couple episodes
No, it says Olivia, it says three, it's set it up there.
I don't know.
We think she might click on the poster.
The poster?
The poster.
We'll have her in it if she's in it.
Right?
The poster.
Let me look at it.
Let me see her.
Oh, she's in it.
Look, we haven't seen it.
She probably makes a cameo.
Yeah.
She probably has like a small role.
Look at her and him on the, on the, we're looking at him.
You should say.
that picture of the editors.
We are looking at him and her
on the red carpet
right there and they're hugging.
Where?
Down, look.
Go down right there.
Look at them.
They look very together.
You son of a bitch,
Joshua Bassett.
I don't know who you think you are.
Right?
You disgust me.
Oh, man.
Damn.
We hate him and we don't know why.
I have no idea why.
I mean, I love Ricky,
but I hate you, Joshua Bassett.
Her album builds it up.
up y'all and you guys were the ones who said the one she's singing about is ricky in the show
we don't know the full juice but that's what y'all said damn she's beautiful she's gorgeous
absolutely gorgeous how old was she when she got famous 17 yeah so she was not beautiful then
she got beautiful a year later since that sweet just for clarity she got beautiful a one year later
after she became famous okay at 18 at 18 then she became beautiful before that
that we did not want to have no opinion we had no opinion no no different we were indifferent
to it different when i said gorgeous i was looking at the one from her guts album which she would
have been at that time i was looking at that one that was posted this year yeah that's when she was
21 when he was saying beautiful but absolutely but yeah but not not for one she became famous
we we were like wow you changed like oh is that like a real woman what is that thing
What is that beauty there we see, which we did not see before?
I watch ours.
See how it says online, take screen grab of that.
It says people also search for Sabrina Carpenter.
I wonder why.
I think I called it.
It says Taylor Swift and Jenna Ortega as well.
I know, but why randomly Sabrina Carpenter?
Because I think she's singing about Sabrina Carpenter in the album as the blonde girl.
She's like, you liked a blonde girl who was older than me?
it's the whole thing y'all see
Olivia Rodriguez Sabrina Carpenter

Cameron Lane, this month
we are going out of our way
to describe which
celebrity said patron
most resembles.
Yes.
And it's really obvious
that whenever we look
upon you, Cameron Lane,
The first person we think about, Justin Timberlake.
It's Justin Timber.
I was because it took the words right on my mouth.
Justin Timberlake.
You're a man of the woods.
A man of the woods that whenever you're in a group of five men,
it's very obvious you're the alpha and you're the only one who's really going to have a career outside of your career.
They say, like, look at your closest friends to determine the most about yourself.
And when you look at your closest friends, they don't matter.
They're all going to be left behind.
They're all syncing to you to get in.
They're going to rely on you, and you're going to marry a woman who was a hot television star.
Yeah, she's going to give you a 20-20 experience.
No one really knows what she does now.
But it'll be justified, whatever it is.
And you're like, is she like significantly older than him?
I think they're the same age is what people are going to say about your wife.
But you'll still be the one bringing the bread and butter touring the world.
And while people talk about your super successful ex-girlfriend who just got out of it.
He's still crying.
Got out of the whole law thing with her dad.
Bezzling money or something.
I didn't really monitor the whole thing.
That's a thing?
You were too busy bringing sex to you back.
The membership, the conservatory is what it called?
Yeah.
Yeah, Cameron Lane, you really are the end sync of this group.
You are.
I would be on a lonely island with you any day.
Absolutely, my friend.
