Uh, yeah, this was a, this show has been a blast so far and, and despite all the weird controversy about how it's airing alongside Obi-1, uh, I, I hope people are liking it because I've been very much enjoying it. And I think we have a, a good discussion ahead. So without further ado, let's hop to it. They are related?
Starting point is 00:01:58 Wowie. Remember when you Googled and the name popped up and I went, oh no, because it taught me way too much. That was the moment. Oh, really? Yeah, that's a big character from like a recent arc. They did it way early. I'm sorry to Google. Google telling me names.
Starting point is 00:02:14 IMDB. Wait, so they are related? In a way. And he's another character too. He's not just that character. My big concerns. Like, were they related? I don't care about spoilers.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I saw some handholding. Hey, hey, she was into him and he seemed in her. He said they travel a lot. It sounded like they had something to do with, you know, shenanigans. They were up to some shenanigans. I thought it was just like real estate problems. I love that he stays up, who stays dad hole. Now we wait for a post credit scene.
Starting point is 00:02:51 They might be here, guys. I took my headphones off last time I was foolish. You're supposed to be the Marvel guy. You're supposed to know when there's post-credit scenes. I'm sorry, that was ruined for you. It was just... So you saw a twist coming? Yeah, because I read the comics like a fool.
Starting point is 00:03:06 That's your fault, man. Stupid, no, post-credit scene. You're not a real Marvel. Why do we wait? You're not a real MCU. Yeah, real MCU would give us a bunch of stuff in the credits. Department of Damage Controls, Recruit, and Avengers, the dark ones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah. Yeah, they should cut to Spider-Man. No, that's what they're doing with... I'm pretty sure that's what's happening. The Dark Avengers are getting formed by the girl from Seinfeld. All right, guys. I don't have time for Corey's jokes anymore. Let's talk about this seriously.
Starting point is 00:03:36 All right, well, I'm sure John and Coy have a lot of thoughts. And I have thoughts, too. But before we go into those thoughts, if you want to feel like a superhero, you should let's do a work of our sponsor today. Thank you to Athletic Greens for partnering up. with us this month. With a schedule as wild as ours, it's tough to stay on top of proper diet and nutrition. Luckily, Athletic Green's AG1 formula.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Makes your daily nutrition simple, delicious, and convenient, get bigger. Just one scoop contains 75 high-quality, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and a whole bunch of more. Which supports gut health. Nervous and immune systems. Energy, focus. Plus, in a serious note, AG1 is lifestyle-friendly. I'm actually allergic to dairy, so any shake I ever have has to be dairy-free. So, whether you eat keto, paleo, vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free.
Starting point is 00:04:29 It's a good fit. Plus, it's completely natural. No harmful chemicals or GMOs. And for my sake, it helps improve my sleep quality and mental clarity, which is always a boost. It helps improve my gut health. I like to poop. And I like saving money, and what's great about Athletic Greens is your subscription only costs about $3 a day.
Starting point is 00:04:46 That's double what I pay John. And it comes with a year supply of vitamin D, and all that is way cheaper than trying to get all these supplements individually. So head on over to Athleticry. over to athletic greens.com slash rejects to start your AG1 lifestyle today. No, seriously. Thank you, Athletic Greens. You guys, uh, that stuff, that's really, has been very, you've been drinking
Starting point is 00:05:04 it too lately. I subscribed. Did you? Myself. I need to try this stuff. I'm saying when it's done, I've been sold on it. When we're done with our partnership, Athletic Greens, I am no longer drinking. I'm actually, I like their stuff a lot. Yeah, it's a big help. I
Starting point is 00:05:20 genuinely talk about it. I built it into my day. I saw it before we film. I actually can pay attention today. Look at you. I'm often tired, lethargic, and I need a more athletic greens. Well, maybe you don't eat Taco Bell before you show up here. You know what happens? Save that for the weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:35 There's tons of greens in it. Frisca. Well, you do actually get the fresco. Guys, we need a focus. Corey gets paid by the second. About the second here. It's not brought to you by Taco Bell. John, why don't you go first?
Starting point is 00:05:45 I enjoyed this continuing, developing installment of the story. This feels like a very natural progression. Certain of the Marvel TV series feel. more smooth than others and thus far this feels like a very smooth feed from first episode into the second episode I really do feel like I'm watching a movie progress in installments in a lot of ways and I very much appreciate that and I mean here it kind of did what I was hoping last time where it seems like we're diving closer and closer into her past and her heritage and where those powers are tied to that we're obviously setting up to the greater world stakes of what the DODC is able to do in interfering and regulating and containing what Kamala is up to and yeah I've been loving the growth of the characters and the way that they're able to balance out you know the on the ground level stuff like with Nakia running for you know for for a mosque board and all that stuff and everything feels proportionate and everything feels alive and yeah it doesn't feel like the big marvely stuff is competing with the story stuff yo John I totally agree with you and everything I think you said What really dawned on me this time Have you seen the movie Turning Red?
Starting point is 00:06:59 I have I enjoyed it Have you seen Turning Red? I have not But I'll watch it along with you on Patreon when I do Yeah How many fandoms do I have to be 100% dedicated to? All of them, John. All of them Have you been on the internet?
Starting point is 00:07:13 There are a lot of qualities of this That are kind of like Turning Red Yeah, I also think it's a really useful way Of telling a unique story in a familiar way Like we said in the first episode But that kind of escalated here much like turning red. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Also, like with the family history, the lineage, the parental stuff. Like, there's a lot that feels very similar in terms of, except with the whole, like, she doesn't turn into a big panda here. Or does she? Does she will see, guys, we saw that thing with the nose. She might become a panda in the end.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Big cosmic panda. This is why I usually lead these, because I have the smart things. I mean, the guy, top of the review. My brain has an extra wrinkle. You're like, there's no point in, you know, the others being here. They just stop watching. They just stop watching.
Starting point is 00:07:56 It's all the Greg takes that we need to hear. What I find very fast about the quality of this show, a lot of the times, they'll start implementing heritage, cultures, other qualities. And a lot of times that feels like backdrop or secondary. Both of these episodes, the high school quality, the heritage, the culture, all those things that usually feel secondary are so primary that I'll forget that, oh, yeah. This is a superhero show. They come in so much later in both of these episodes.
Starting point is 00:08:28 The first episode thought, okay, all right. So we set it all up. We got that crazy ending. Cool. Now let's go gung-ho superhero. Not really. Like, you do some of the training, which kind of felt like Shazam a little bit to me.
Starting point is 00:08:43 That's some Shem. Jem. Jem. Jib. I was going to say some Jemma. Are you referring to D.C.'s Captain Marvel? Oh, that's ironic. I like that.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Nicely done, nicely done. Because Captain Marvel was named Shazam. I mean, because Shazam was named Captain Marvel, but then there was legal issues where they couldn't use the name Captain Marvel. But then at the end of the day, technically he's still called Captain Marvel, even though Miss Marvel and Captain Marvel of the one she admires is also the same name as the Shazam character of which we're referring.
Starting point is 00:09:11 This guy is so aware he gets paid by the minute. Shazam was the word I was trying to say. I was trying to speed up, but then Greg gave crap. So I was trying to be helpful, but no, no. Since he interrupted, I had to explain the joke. That was very nicely done. Shazaming. Shazamming.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Shazamma, that's a woke thing? That's a woke. This whole thing about Shazamma, Captain Marvel. I need to know what to be mad about. No, you're not,
Starting point is 00:09:33 it was a legal issue when they both had two characters but not a woke thing. Not a woke thing. It's a money thing. Both a male character and a female character are both named Captain Marvel,
Starting point is 00:09:42 not woke. I don't need to do big eyes, red. I'm really upset. You need to turn red? You know. Are you turning red? Like a comic skate person?
Starting point is 00:09:51 I just need to know what to do. be outraged about. Just pick something and go and someone will join in. The color on that computer screen. I think feigned outrage would really help us blow up. That's how we get there, guys. We haven't trended in two days. Marvel forcing this female perspective on me.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Man, oh man, is there a girl one out of 37 properties is MCHU. Now that we've had four women as leads out of 37 films, they're clearly adjusting for half the population, roughly 52%. There's only one white guy and he's just the, Brandon. He has extraordinary smarts, but it's not enough. It's not enough. It's not enough. The white man. Look, you guys go way off topic too much, and I'm sorry for setting you up to be off topic. You've given us this platform. Get back on the tracks, people. Here we go. I agree with you, John. It does, it does feel like, because this is not the most cinematic of them all in terms of,
Starting point is 00:10:48 although there's an argument to be made for that, I would say. I think it's more cinematic than a lot of them because it's so stylized. and the quality of the imagery. And the way they implement the effects of being, because this show does such a good job at thrusting you into her perspective. That's when they go all like whack-a-doodle-doo with the visuals that I think are so beautiful to look at it.
Starting point is 00:11:05 And times, I like when they like sneak up on you when you don't see the visual. Like the bed was so sad. Yeah, that was one of my favorites. That was so pretty. So, so perfect. And it also feels like a comic book because a lot of times
Starting point is 00:11:14 the comic book imagery, it likes Scott Pilgrim. It comes out of nowhere or it's really subtly in there. But this has so many frames that are existing simultaneously that it feels. like a comic book frame where you can add in some onomatopoeia, some descriptive dialogue,
Starting point is 00:11:26 because you can't have a text sound in a comic book because it's a page. So I love that they have this imagery that feels like it's right from the books. I think this is a pretty solid show so far. Sometimes I do find myself a bit craving a little, maybe because I've been conditioned. I do wonder that about myself. I'm so used to like, we're sitting down here. We're going to watch a superhero show. So sometimes I expect a little bit more of that superhero umph. I don't really know if that's a problem for me or if that's just my preconceived notions about thinking we're last left off so we're probably going to go gung-ho superhero because i'm actually enjoying it when i when i forget about that and then i get lost in you know like the storyline of uh uh what was her name
Starting point is 00:12:04 is it isn't it nakia i don't know you're more likely well because i don't know if i'm getting confused with black panthers knockia but i thought that was it is but i don't know how it's pronounced because i've only ever read it but it's spelled n i k i believe you know it's a microphone oh it's microphone. Here we are. Is this me to use this microphone? Nickyia for now. That storyline I find really fascinating. And it seems like they're really going to tie it all together though. It is still going to be like the superhero show because clearly all this stuff that the mom is kind of clued in on about mystical past and whatever and why it seems to be a bit of this thing where she's so dismayed by the concept of superheroes.
Starting point is 00:12:43 It seems so tied in to. Yeah, it seems so tied into whatever her paint. stems from and getting this what is the word the not with the P word what was it the pair the the the when they're talking about the past the pair oh the partition partition partition the partition thank you John thank you John for being the word guy I got some words more than us yeah yeah be the be the thought guy what's going on there at the end without spoiling too much because we we were looking up the cast and there's a character which we met this episode who is many things in the comic books And I will say without giving away too much, he's not just the person we've met.
Starting point is 00:13:23 He is also another character who I really enjoy from the comic books. And I do believe if they go with the storyline, I think they're taking this on, which is a more recent arc, there's going to be a twist on the twist we just got. Things aren't as they seem even in the, like there's a double agent situation perhaps being unfolded. I'm trying to not to give anything away so people aren't like, ah, spoilers for reading the comics. But there is an opportunity for us to have a twist on the twist. with a dual identity of this other guy if they do that. But what I think the show, one of the things I'm finding the strength of is where we had the Falcon Winter Soldier show kind of being a backdoor pilot for the Dark
Starting point is 00:13:56 Avengers or Thunderbolt, whichever their way they take it. We had, you know, a darker Captain America. We had, you know, the assembly that brought us a New Black Widow, those things. This very much feels like they're going to use the DoDC to kind of radicalize the champions, a.k.a. and I think the Young Avengers. So in the comics, you've got two different teams. There's the New Avengers as well as the Dark Avengers. There's also the Dark Avengers as well as the Thunderbolts, and those both separately could exist,
Starting point is 00:14:21 but with movies and things, you don't want to confuse the audience. So I do think they're going to kind of bring these chunks of characters together into one unit. Like I was saying last episode, champions are very important in street level, but I do think they're going to kind of make the Young Avengers and the Champions into one thing. I think they're going to kind of summarize up that world. So I do think while we're getting one team of adult, Dark Avengers, or Thunderbolts, we're also getting a radicalized, more politicized, more street-level team of kids that are going to have a lot to come from because if you look at what just happened to Wanda's kids if they get those powers that's
Starting point is 00:14:50 going to be hugely important we've also got Kate Bishop who's been when like you know organized crime she's going to be like street level but you know going through these things we've met like seven of these children who've all gone through these traumatic events and now Kamala's going through it with a legal side so I do think we're gearing up towards a team of younger child avengers who have all been through trauma but also we're going to be having to fight the man itself like we're not be fighting the government they're going to be at to fighting law and I think that's where we're going to get the She-Hulk and Daredebels and such that I was alluding to last week, but more as a
Starting point is 00:15:17 team, I could see an entire, like, Young Avengers movie be about, like, you know, their civil war, and it looks like we're going there with the DoDC. Can kids be heroes? Can someone under, well, basically, is how you're getting at it? Legally, the question is, like, who's at fault if you're 15 or 16, and you cause damage?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Like, think about it, they're the Department of Damage Control. You can't sue a child, or you sue the parent? Is the parent if they don't know at fault? Is it evil legally acceptable for someone to be, you know what I mean? There's so many ramifications of a child putting on a mask. Does a child have rights at a point? Like, does a child have the ability to use those powers?
Starting point is 00:15:50 And I do think long term, I don't think it's going to lead directly into, but I do think that's going to lead to the world that hates and fears this, fears them that gets this X-Men. Because right now, everyone loves heroes. Everyone looks, I mean, there's an Avengers con. We need there to be a point where it makes sense that some heroes are hated and feared, and I think the Dark Avengers is going to go the adult X-Men route. But I do think planning the legal seeds with the champions and Young Avengers gives us both paths to X-Men.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah. Yeah, you know, I could see some of that subtle shades here. What's the DOC? Department of Damage Control. No, no, no. What's the guy's name? Don't remember. He's not direct from the comics to be on that.
Starting point is 00:16:24 She seems like he just has to stick up his ass all the time. I mean, just trying to hunt down kids. He just hates kids. Every time he interrogates. He's like, you're the worst person ever, right? That's how he talks. You know what sucks you? I love it.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Having them in there, Department of Damage Control. And then also, even the way how she is with her powers, Because already he's like, you guys are doing some messed up things. Do the influencer wannabe chick? And then Zoe, is her name? Zoe. And then at the end there, even with the little boy, just like theorizing here along with what you're bringing up, even with the little boy who Kamala saved, clearly she slipped up. But from their perspective, they're all like, why did she do that?
Starting point is 00:17:04 And he hurt his ankle. His ankle is damaged now. So she like hurt this boy. So it's looked like this person's not good or this person shouldn't be a hero or this person shouldn't be doing this. So, yeah, I think what you're at least talking about, there seems to be some shades that seem to allude to such a thing. John, I've got a question for you. Yes, sir. As I pitch the ball to you.
Starting point is 00:17:28 I'm here. And I'm getting ready for you to swing away, Merrill. Or I got my bad. That's a science reference. I was going to say we're talking about twists on twists on twists. When are we going to get a Shyamil under it? episode when all the twists come. I mean, he almost played Dr. Strange.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Joaquin. I was like Shavellon. He was played Dr. Strange. Weirdest director cameo. We're not of like that. I am, Dr. Strange. Written and directed by me, starring me. Who is your favorite character outside of Kamala Khan?
Starting point is 00:17:58 Oh, that's a tough question. Probably the test. Hibu is great. Hibu is delightful. I like Nakia a lot, and I like that they gave them a really solid. I think that was this episode. I think they gave them a really solid, you know, female friendship, like a real intimate moment of friendship
Starting point is 00:18:16 and of them just conferring about like, how do you do it? How do you make all this growth and this weirdness look easy? And I think their bond together is something really nice and special. I like that it seems like they are paying attention to that storyline where she's running for Mosque Board. I like her a lot. I think she's great.
Starting point is 00:18:31 And I like what those characters, what she does for Kamala, what she brings out of Kamala, and what she represents for the show as a whole. and just the kind of conversations that come up through her so I think that's probably my second favorite character so far. Bruno for you?
Starting point is 00:18:45 You know, I love Bruno mainly because he is flirty like me as we discussed last week. Yeah, and white. And white? No, I really like, how did they pronounce his name? Because again, I always read it.
Starting point is 00:18:55 The dude and the car, the cool guy, the new guy. Camron. Camron. I just wanted to get it right as I could. Comron. I don't know if I love him because of what I think they're doing
Starting point is 00:19:05 or if you know what I mean? Like, there's a thing that I think they're doing, and if they do it, it's very awesome. They are having fun watching you wriggle right now, because they know that you know, but maybe you don't know. And I'm trying not to, I'm trying to not be the guy. But like at the same time, if they do what I think they're going to do, there's a reason the accent switch.
Starting point is 00:19:21 There's a reason he has a hyphen in his credit. There's, if they do what they're doing, it's a really fun way to manipulate the story in a way that we haven't seen a lot of superhero properties. And he's really, like, fun and charming without it feeling letcherous, which I think is nice. We might need a coi's comic. quarter before episode
Starting point is 00:19:39 three comes out. We could do how we might get Dark Avengers, Thunderbolts, and Young Avengers Champions leading up to X-Men and all that things. What a great efficient title. Start a board of all these keywords title. Dark Avengers and Champions and Young
Starting point is 00:19:57 Avengers and Go. Do you have a Marvel question? It's the next week's topic on Coys Comic Corner. Whatever you guys want. No shortage of possibilities. we're getting like we're getting like the doDC feels very established we've got that you know the different parts of the world are getting more flesh out than just shield especially since shield's been dismantled was kind of like rumbling back and things it's because the first you know three phases we're kind of just hydra versus shield and bad guys this is uh there's a lot more
Starting point is 00:20:24 layers to the world especially the shows yeah yeah there's a lot going on this reason there's so many things happening because if you think about it right now they they just had hawkeye take on the the the track suit mafia which felt like it was down the street which is fun. We've got all the things happening with the TVA and Loki, which is another organization. We've got all the things happening
Starting point is 00:20:43 in the movies with like the magic groups and those organizations. We've also got the ideals of the Celestials, thanks to the Eternals and those greater cosmic organizations. And then we've also got like
Starting point is 00:20:52 the reality of what we're dealing with in like the street level heroes, fighting villains that we haven't even met yet. Plus all the time variance authority stuff interacting with the small global. It's going to be crazy. And I do think we're leading towards basically like Moon Knight-esque
Starting point is 00:21:04 blade characters that are going to lead the occult thanks to the stuff that happened in Scarlet Witch. So, like, lots of tea. It's like a comic book. And then we also have Evangeline and Lily being anti-Vax. And that's a problem for all of us. They should make a team out of all the actors in the MCU who are anti-Vax
Starting point is 00:21:19 and who definitely have not affected any of their productions. Not a one. You know what I also appreciated here was the amount of Kingo callouts. Oh, man, every time it was said I had a little chuckle. Yeah, that's right. Good shizz. That's a little Bollywood toss. Because he was like,
Starting point is 00:21:36 I like Kingo Senior and they're like, they have no idea that it's the same guy. And they were like, oh, how could you even like? It's like Al-Kameldon Johnny. So, so genius. I did like the, I do like Bruno a lot. I feel like he's a really solid character. Felt like I wasn't allowed to say so. Why?
Starting point is 00:21:57 No, he's great. Because he's white. You would like him. You would like him despite all the evidence of good acting work. You would like him despite all the evidence of good acting work. some decent writing and he's actually very good at playing the guy in the chair but still being likable. I like that he's a guy in the chair and he's so supportive and is like genuinely like never never does the cliche of he's not the dude from my big fat Greek wedding who's like
Starting point is 00:22:22 well this is all kind of weird and wacky to me. He's genuinely has a vested interest in everything around him and he's he there's a lot of admiration and respect and wants to understand in a way that feels very genuine and natural. And I feel like that's how you do, supportive white guy. And you know how? And sometimes when you like a character too much, you got to worry about him.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I'm not saying he's going to die, but I'm not saying you shouldn't worry about him. You think Bruno's going to die? I think Bruno's got some... Bruno's not going to die. I didn't say he was going to die. I'm just saying I'm worried about him. No one's going to die in this show.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I'm just saying I'm worried about him. Everyone's going to live twice. Just saying I'm worried about him. I mean, I am a little bit worried about Bruno, but I don't know. Where's this worried for Bruno coming from? I don't know. Mostly, I just appreciate, too, that it doesn't, I feel like the whole thing where he clearly has, either is very protective of her or is just straight crushing on her.
Starting point is 00:23:16 I like the way they've played that too, because while it's not like the most revolutionary take on that, I feel like they've played it in a way that is remarkably unannoying and wrote. Like, that's something that could very easily become like a, oh, come on, dude. Like, this is kind of an annoying plotline. It's a cliche archetype without being played cliche. Yeah. It's a thing we've seen before, but he's doing it naturalistically. Yeah, he makes a good ducky.
Starting point is 00:23:38 You guys have a lot to say about the white guy. You know what? I'm just saying he's the minority of this show. He laughed because I know that you both get in your heads about the white guy. I'm just aware. It just makes me laugh so much. I'm like, something.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Just put the pressure on us. Just put the pressure on us, Greg. Here we are. All right. Can I just come out and say that he's my favorite character? And I don't really care about any of this other shit. We could get out of Kamala's life and into his life.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Can we also? Get Bruno the bracelet. I want to acknowledge the world for a second, though. The music is such a beautiful way to tie you into, like, the feeling of being in a different world because, like, a lot of the Marvel shows, they use scores, they use, they don't really have soundtracks that I would, like, listen to. Like, whereas this is a lot of stuff that feels like you can just, like, actually, I'd play the Miss Marvel soundtrack, which I don't say about the other shows, really.
Starting point is 00:24:26 A lot of the time, it sounds like R&B music to me, whatever. The kids are listening to nowadays. Whirps these days are listening to, the rap music. But it's not, no it's not. It's the same thing. Rhythm and blues. It's either country, classic, rock, or rap.
Starting point is 00:24:44 The pop music landscape at this moment in time pretty much encompasses R&B and hip-hop. Country, not country, R&B. That is basically what pop music is right now. Those three things. What you're talking about, Koi, you don't understand. anything. You only like M.G.K. He's two genres on his own. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Colson Baker. I'm trying to say that what they do here is they have a lot of great soundtracks, yeah, but a lot of times it's not American soundtracks too. And I think that's, it's cool to like get that familiarity, but something different for someone who is uninitiated. And a lot of the group, I don't know the artist where they're playing. I'm like, I would put this stuff on. It's in similar ways that I feel a lot of people maybe discover how K-pop has become such a crazy part of the world now that it's like I know so many people who are into K-pop who don't speak Korean and now listening to a lot of the music here I'm giving that same effect of like
Starting point is 00:25:44 I would just put this on and I have no idea what they're saying Greg just said what I said while making fun of me he literally just took the immersive quality of my compliment about the music but decided to make it about him making fun of me on the journey Corey you're so self-centered I just and I have no idea what you said because I was Thinking about what I was going to say. Yeah, here we are.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I just appreciate that they gave the sweatshop boys a direct callout. Direct call out. Good for the sweatshop. Direct call out. And MIA, I haven't heard in years used in pop culture. So I'm very excited for you. Pineapple Express came out like six months ago. Brand new hit movie.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Just dropped a new song in fact, MIA. I like the show a lot. It's in my upper half of the Marvel show so far. I put it like obviously until it's done. We don't know how it's going to stick the landing. But I've been really impressed. Number one Marvel show. White guilt's coming through you guys.
Starting point is 00:26:33 It's better than most of the movies. It's better than most of the comics. It's better than D.C. Frankly, it's better than the Batman. Miss Marvel, Dark Night, no way home. Better than Alan Moore's Watchman comic book. Somehow I've taken Miss Marvel to be the one for the loosest on this one.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Here we are. Yeah, because we have the, me and Koi have the most to make up for because we're not only white, but we're dudes. We got all this stuff. The ethnic one. You're like, I'll be the dumb one in the videos. You're over here being. like, oh, I recognize parts of my experience in the show. He's over here calling MIA R&B
Starting point is 00:27:05 and he's getting away with it. They are. They are. Get away with it. M.I. is a person. M.I.A. watches this channel, all right. M. I'm not R.B. Yeah, I love that song. That's how it goes, right? And take your money. Flood like a butterfly sting like a beautiful. What's the damn lyrics? Yeah, it's actually
Starting point is 00:27:23 a biographical song about Muhammad Ali. The M.I. covered that song. The M. and M.A. is Mohammed. And the A is for Ali. It's Mohammed. I am Ali. It's Mohamed Ali. I don't know what she's saying in that song. All I want to do it
Starting point is 00:27:41 cash register. And that's all I know. The lyrics are actually her saying what she's describing. All I want to do is noise gun noise cash register. She basically wants to roll up, fire a few shots, and take your money. She'll go rob you.
Starting point is 00:27:56 It's a joyous anthem of robbing someone else while being Muhammad Ali. Susan bones. Are you singing a Foo Fighters song now? No, remember since you'd say that in the song? I also think you... No, it's not paperblades. That's B-O-B.
Starting point is 00:28:11 That's the same era. That's the right era. Paperplates came out about the year before. Three categories of music, everyone. Which aeronautical pop song are we drawing from people? Paper planes, airplanes, John Denver songs. You know what's great is that we can have this conversation. There's a lot of very cultural.
Starting point is 00:28:31 inspired pop music in the show. And that gives us the chance to go dive into some of this music and find a new fixation or find a new song that we enjoy. Much like Kamala's family shares their love of their adopted Bon Jovi music. Jersey Prince. Jersey Prince, Bonnie Jay. I loved hearing
Starting point is 00:28:51 Bon Jovi referenced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Beyonce was in Dr. Strange. People are going to click on this video, man, like, wow, their video's an hour and a half. They must have broken this down But to the tea? Little did they know. Easter eggs.
