Beth:

Welcome to Cool Girls Don't Look at Explosions, where we

2

:

watch macho TV from the 80s, 90s,

3

:

and other time periods.

4

:

That's not our intro.

5

:

Laura: I really thought you were

gonna say 80s, 90s, and today, like

6

:

those now that's what I call music.

7

:

Beth: I really thought about it.

8

:

I should've.

9

:

Welcome to Cool Girls Don't Look at

Explosions, where we watch DudeTV quickly.

10

:

Because Henry starts school tomorrow.

11

:

And Laura's a PhD candidate.

12

:

So,

13

:

Laura: don't

14

:

think I'm a candidate

till I've passed comps.

15

:

I'm not sure how that works.

16

:

Beth: Oh,

17

:

yeah, I

18

:

Glo: Beth you're in school too.

19

:

So we're just all busy ladies

20

:

Laura: hmm.

21

:

Mm

22

:

Beth: in school too, it's

just not as cool, so.

23

:

Yeah,

24

:

Glo: Beth is gonna be saving animals.

25

:

So I don't know how that's not cool

26

:

Laura: Yeah,

27

:

yeah.

28

:

There's

29

:

very little animal saving

30

:

in any sort of accounting.

31

:

I'm so sorry, guys.

32

:

Beth: Yeah, but it's cool, if I need

math doing, I am going to call you.

33

:

Laura: Well, I'm not feeling

so great at the math doing with

34

:

the first class that I'm

35

:

taking, but we'll see.

36

:

Beth: is behind me, and uh, He just gave

me the, what am I, chopped liver look?

37

:

So,

38

:

uh,

39

:

Glo: a slow

40

:

Beth: will call Jaffer.

41

:

And if Jaffer is not available for

math problems, then I will call Laura.

42

:

Laura: I mean, you could

43

:

just call me so We can hang.

44

:

Beth: We can also just hang.

45

:

I'm okay with that.

46

:

Okay, well, we're watching Airwolf still.

47

:

Laura: still.

48

:

yeah.

49

:

Glo: Season two

50

:

Beth: Season 2.

51

:

Because the nightmare

persists, but so do we.

52

:

Glo: This episode was not

as bad as the last episode.

53

:

I actually kind of enjoyed this one.

54

:

Beth: Yeah, this one was

55

:

Laura: much, much much less gang rape.

56

:

Beth: Yeah, I think this is

our first non rapey episode.

57

:

Like, I don't, there's not

really a trigger, I don't know.

58

:

Warning, probably

59

:

maybe mentions of a dv, um,

60

:

Glo: but, yeah, but,

61

:

Beth: a spider,

62

:

Glo: want to, yeah, spider warning.

63

:

Beth: that's it.

64

:

Laura: I have thoughts about the spider.

65

:

I can't

66

:

wait.

67

:

Glo: yeah, because I don't

want to give away there's a

68

:

Beth: the spider

69

:

Glo: twist in this episode,

guys, so stay tuned.

70

:

Beth: My god.

71

:

Ah, no.

72

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

73

:

Yeah,

74

:

and we kind of open in media like

75

:

something else, as Glo was saying.

76

:

Glo: Yeah, so I was, I was talking and

saying that I thought that this was

77

:

maybe the second half of a two parter,

but the other ladies think that this

78

:

just kind of opens and we're supposed

to piece together what's been happening.

79

:

Laura: yeah.

80

:

that's kind of what I thought,

81

:

Beth: Cause like, everything

kind of like, is explained

82

:

throughout the episode, you know?

83

:

You're not left like, oh crap, I

feel like I missed half the story,

84

:

you know?

85

:

Laura: yeah, the only thing I didn't

really get just from this episode

86

:

is, in the, , what do they call that?

87

:

Like the teaser, the tagline,

whatever it is we read before

88

:

we actually watch the episode,

89

:

Beth: Oh, I don't read that, I just

90

:

Glo: Yeah, I don't do that

because isn't that cheating?

91

:

Am I wrong?

92

:

Laura: oh, I don't know,

93

:

but they

94

:

referred to like

95

:

That Santini niece was being rescued

from a drug kingpin and I didn't really

96

:

get like anything, drugs from this guy.

97

:

Did we talk about any drugs at any point?

98

:

Glo: You get the idea that he

is like ambiguously a white

99

:

dude down in the southern

hemisphere doing baddie guy stuff.

100

:

Beth: And at some point, a

detective, talks to them,

101

:

and is like, , we can get this guy on

drug charges, we can get this guy on,

102

:

racketeering, we know, we suspect him of

all of these things, but we can't do it.

103

:

So it's kind of like an Al Capone

104

:

thing, if we can catch him on

this, small potatoes thing,

105

:

Laura: Tax fraud.

106

:

Glo: Tax fraud.

107

:

Beth: Follow the taxes.

108

:

Laura, but Yeah, Actually, Funny story,

so my mom is a tax lawyer So every

109

:

single year since I started doing taxes

I have called her And we've had the

110

:

same conversation Mom, I'm pretty sure

I've accidentally committed tax fraud.

111

:

Beth, you can't accidentally

commit tax fraud.

112

:

Intent has to be in there.

113

:

You know this.

114

:

It's so fun.

115

:

It's like, you know, a holiday.

116

:

Glo: Hmm.

117

:

Laura: as long as you filed that return

and got that Statute of Limitations

118

:

rolling, that's all I care about.

119

:

Is

120

:

Beth: 13th, 1984.

121

:

She's a Scorpio, I think.

122

:

I don't know.

123

:

And, It was directed by

our old friend Alan J.

124

:

Levy, who also directed last

week's episode of Airwolf, and

125

:

something called She Spies.

126

:

I don't know what it is, but

it looks like it involves spies

127

:

whose pronouns are she, her.

128

:

Laura: it the knockoff

Charlie's Angels, perhaps?

129

:

Beth: Perhaps.

130

:

It did have a Charlie's Angels feel to it.

131

:

Yes, yes.

132

:

It was written by Phil Combest,

who also wrote a bunch of Magnum P.

133

:

I.

134

:

episodes, and is notably not a

woman, which I think is important,

135

:

considering what we're about to

136

:

dive into.

137

:

So the episode opens on our string fellow.

138

:

Hiding in some bushes in the dark.

139

:

Glo: He's makeuped.

140

:

Beth: yeah, I said he did something

different with his foundation.

141

:

It's giving covert ops or

I'm being a weirdo stalker,

142

:

depending.

143

:

Laura: I called it camo face.

144

:

Beth: Camo face!

145

:

Yeah!

146

:

Laura: But

147

:

ladies, he has on his camo face, right?

148

:

But he's wearing a gray suit.

149

:

What does this do for you then?

150

:

Glo: And did you guys notice he

just goes through the front door?

151

:

Laura: Yeah, he like lock

picks the front door.

152

:

Glo: Yeah.

153

:

Beth: you can't see him!

154

:

You can only see disembodied clothes!

155

:

Laura: listener, it's not a dark gray,

156

:

even.

157

:

It's like a light gray suit.

158

:

Beth: that shit is like, we're

going on safari, don't forget

159

:

your camo face in case we run into

160

:

predator.

161

:

Glo: Come on, Stringfellow.

162

:

Laura: Weird choices.

163

:

After he lock picks the front door,

he goes around in the mansion

164

:

and overhears this American guy

in a suit bribing the mayor, I

165

:

Glo: Yep.

166

:

I put mayor and shady deals going down.

167

:

Beth: Oh, I just put, he almost walks

in on some dudes doing quotation

168

:

marks, business, end quotes, nefarious

169

:

Glo: Nefarious.

170

:

Yes.

171

:

Very nefarious.

172

:

Beth: And then, he hides in a closet,

Stringfellow, not the mayor, and scares

173

:

the shit out of this poor elderly servant

174

:

Glo: The Spanish speaking,

adorable little man.

175

:

Beth: Right, who's just trying to

do his job, getting bullied by his

176

:

boss, and then he gets, yanked

into this, like, hostage situation.

177

:

Glo: And Stringfellow is

like, donde esta la seƱorita?

178

:

Laura: I thought.

179

:

As this janitor is, taking Stringfellow

to her room, that he seemed weirdly

180

:

calm all of a sudden about this.

181

:

And I also watch this with subtitles on.

182

:

I watch pretty much everything

with subtitles on, because I don't

183

:

process very quickly sometimes

184

:

when it's just audio.

185

:

Beth: Same.

186

:

Laura: And I really wanted the

187

:

Spanish stuff to be, like, translated,

but it just said, Speaking Spanish.

188

:

Glo: I can translate for you because they

were doing super, super simple Spanish.

189

:

Laura: okay.

190

:

What did they say?

191

:

Beth: I know that he said, where's

192

:

the

193

:

Glo: He says, where's the girl?

194

:

And like, he says, the lady's over here.

195

:

And then when they find the lady,

she's happy to see string fellow.

196

:

And then the guy says, and

that's like, go with God.

197

:

Laura: Yeah, okay.

198

:

So nothing giveaway

199

:

here, but he seemed weirdly calm, which

we kind of understand at the end of

200

:

this episode.

201

:

Beth: Yeah, like I feel like an idiot.

202

:

Cause I saw that he was weirdly

calm and I just thought, well, I

203

:

mean, I guess he works for that guy.

204

:

So maybe he just gets taken hostage

once a week and he's, it's just old

205

:

hat

206

:

Glo: no, don't take her,

please, please don't,

207

:

Beth: No, don't.

208

:

Or he was like, pulling

for her to make it

209

:

out or something, you know?

210

:

Laura: Yeah.

211

:

I really quibble with Stringfellow's

choice of words when he sees

212

:

Holly and says, Don't be

afraid, I came to take you out.

213

:

Glo: ah, mm,

214

:

Laura: the phrase that

we would use these days.

215

:

I don't know, maybe it

was different in the

216

:

Beth: Anyway, this old guy who's maybe

been holding her hostage chases after

217

:

them as they, like, run away and across

the beach and think the beach might

218

:

be rigged with explosives because when

have guns ever exploded like that?

219

:

Glo: yeah.

220

:

There's like jeeps chasing

them and they trip an alarm

221

:

Beth: and everything blows up,

222

:

Laura: We see Dom in the

helicopter, in the Airwolf, and he

223

:

is anxious.

224

:

He's ready to get these

people on board and go.

225

:

Glo: It's also, I think, really important

that , to gain her trust, Stringfellow

226

:

says, I'm a friend of Dominic Santini

227

:

Laura: Mm.

228

:

Glo: we, because that's important

once we find out who this lady is.

229

:

Beth: And, I did think it was weird

that when they all flew off in Airwolf,

230

:

old dude, goes, Ah, well, shucks.

231

:

You know, and then just kind of puts

his hands on his hips and shakes those

232

:

crazy kids in their crazy helicopter

doing shenanigans on my beach.

233

:

Like,

234

:

Laura: lawn.

235

:

Beth: yeah.

236

:

Yeah,

237

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

238

:

Beth: where Irwulf flies off, we

cut to the next day when the girl

239

:

is being questioned by the police.

240

:

And Dom's a little spicy.

241

:

Laura: He's protective

of his little niece.

242

:

Yeah.

243

:

Glo: His acting here

is really fun, I think.

244

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

245

:

Beth: Cause he does

angry but also comedic.

246

:

Which is interesting.

247

:

Cause she's like

248

:

20, right?

249

:

Maybe at

250

:

most 19.

251

:

Like she's

252

:

she's a youngster.

253

:

Yeah.

254

:

And then we find out that the dude

on the beach who's doing nefarious

255

:

business dealings and who's A million,

compared to her, was her lover.

256

:

Laura: Yeah.

257

:

Ugh.

258

:

Glo: And she's like, no, I wasn't forced

against my will to go there, and they're

259

:

trying to build a case against the guy

who we find out his name is Aarons.

260

:

His last name, at least.

261

:

Beth: And

262

:

Laura: she went willingly, that

totally negates the fact that

263

:

she was forced to stay there.

264

:

Beth: Yeah, dude, that's

what I was about to say.

265

:

The fact that, the cop is just

like, What you're describing

266

:

is a lover's quarrel, sir.

267

:

What?

268

:

Laura: right off

269

:

with that.

270

:

Beth: What the fuck kind of lovely

quarrel has that guy been in?

271

:

Please therapy, please go to

therapy, and then to jail.

272

:

Maybe therapy in jail, I don't

273

:

Glo: Airwolf, colon, police therapy.

274

:

Laura: Holly gets done being questioned by

the lady cop and, comes in in a jumpsuit.

275

:

I guess they gave her one of the airwolf

jumpsuits and Dom is going to take her off

276

:

to buy clothes because women be shopping.

277

:

Beth: And they totally aren't gonna

think about asking dudes who are

278

:

actually in the Air Force at the Star

Trek convention they happen to be at,

279

:

where they got their cute costume.

280

:

That

281

:

Glo: we have to explain

this for the audience, guys.

282

:

Beth: didn't happen.

283

:

Laura: I mean, so I don't know,

did we figure out what was

284

:

going on at the

285

:

Glo: did.

286

:

So, at the beginning of Star Trek

Las Vegas, where Laura, Beth, and

287

:

myself, Glow, went, we, at the

beginning of the conference, saw

288

:

these guys in just amazing jumpsuits.

289

:

And being in jumpsuits are,

is not out of Star Trek canon.

290

:

Laura: Right,

291

:

like, Enterprise is all

292

:

Glo: Right.

293

:

Beth: I thought they were like dudes

who were cosplaying as Enterprise.

294

:

And the first guy I saw was very

295

:

handsome.

296

:

Glo: were good looking

297

:

Beth: thought he was I thought they were

the paid cosplayers who take the actors

298

:

out on stage during their panels, right?

299

:

Glo: The vibe was just off enough

where you're like, no, these guys

300

:

seem like they mean business.

301

:

Yes.

302

:

Laura: Yeah, they

303

:

Beth: and then I saw one putting a

gun into a safe at the front desk

304

:

And I was just like, oh no.

305

:

Glo: I did see, because they were

good looking men, I did recognize one

306

:

that was out of the outfit and in, an

army shirt, so they were definitely in

307

:

sort, some sort of army or air force

or something like that, and It was

308

:

just funny because, you never know

who's cosplaying and who has their

309

:

actual big boy work pants on that day.

310

:

Beth, what was the coolest

part about their jumpsuits?

311

:

Please tell our audience.

312

:

Beth: Listen to me right now.

313

:

Come here.

314

:

Come closer to the mic.

315

:

This is so exciting.

316

:

Okay, so on their jumpsuits they

had these giant ass cargo pants.

317

:

You could fit like three

books in there a piece, right?

318

:

And they were mid calf

319

:

and they zipped up.

320

:

They were gorgeous.

321

:

Gorgeous.

322

:

Glo: Why was there a cargo

pocket on, like, their ankle?

323

:

Who knows?

324

:

But it looked really cool.

325

:

Beth: On both

326

:

sides too.

327

:

I mean, it was like dual pockets.

328

:

Glo: I'm sure somebody is pushing

up their glasses right now and

329

:

being like, um, actually that's the

pocket for their dispatch manual

330

:

Beth: yes.

331

:

Which is totally cute and fun.

332

:

Honestly it's probably Vic.

333

:

Vic probably

334

:

knows.

335

:

But,

336

:

Laura: though.

337

:

Beth: yeah, he'd say it in a nice way.

338

:

And you know what?

339

:

We can pretend they put manuals in there.

340

:

But we all know, we all know that

they put at least like five or six

341

:

Batman comics in one of those pockets.

342

:

You

343

:

never know You never know when you're

344

:

Glo: in a monster and I don't

know fluffy blanket for later.

345

:

I don't know.

346

:

Laura: some snacks.

347

:

Yeah,

348

:

Glo: snack pocket

349

:

Beth: mini Squishmallow.

350

:

long flights and cuddles

351

:

Glo: to Airwolf, though.

352

:

Beth: Then, let's see, I got so

distracted by the jumpsuit's cargo

353

:

pockets that I forgot where we

354

:

Glo: As one does.

355

:

Laura: So, Caitlyn shows

356

:

up.

357

:

Well.

358

:

String

359

:

is doing some maintenance, and she

hassles him about his maintenance skills.

360

:

I thought, I

361

:

got so excited, I thought she

was doing the Javert, because she

362

:

says that, she took her FMLA leave

to go find Airwolf, basically.

363

:

Beth: Yeah, I believe her exact

words were, Since you shot up the

364

:

town, , I took a leave of absence.

365

:

Laura: Mhm.

366

:

Beth: And she's so chill about it,

367

:

Glo: And it also shows us, too,

that for the last couple of

368

:

episodes, she's not been in them.

369

:

Laura: Mhm.

370

:

Glo: So I wonder

371

:

Beth: Yeah, and that we just

Shot back in to Aerowulf.

372

:

We shot out of Aerowulf at the first

episode, Shot back in when she happens to

373

:

return, Which I think is very fun.

374

:

Laura: Mhm.

375

:

Glo: don't really want

Airwolf without her anymore.

376

:

She is lovely.

377

:

Laura: Yeah.

378

:

Beth: Yeah, she handles

this whole episode very

379

:

chilly, considering what

380

:

happens.

381

:

Laura: Did you notice the,

super melancholy, sad music that

382

:

immediately cuts in when she tells

him that they found the plot device

383

:

friend dead in the desert and they

384

:

brought back his remains?

385

:

Beth: Yeah, that was so

intense, especially because

386

:

right before that, right?

387

:

He recognizes who she is, and his

face fucking lights up, dude.

388

:

He is hype.

389

:

He looks like me every time Jafar comes

through the door at the end of the day.

390

:

Like, Hell yeah, dude!

391

:

Glo: So his friend has been

most dangerous gamed, I assume.

392

:

yeah,

393

:

Beth: yeah,

394

:

Laura: makes me

395

:

Beth: Yeah, his friend dead.

396

:

But she brought back the body for

397

:

him.

398

:

, then the melancholy music comes in.

399

:

Glo: She says, I don't want to

be a flying meter maid anymore.

400

:

That stupid sheriff got to her head.

401

:

Beth: yep.

402

:

Glo: Mm hmm.

403

:

Laura: ceilinged in

404

:

Texas, but I'm not surprised.

405

:

For

406

:

Beth: Yeah, seriously,

especially in that town.

407

:

My

408

:

god.

409

:

Laura: sure.

410

:

For

411

:

Beth: So then she changes the subject

and is just like, So, where's that

412

:

black battleship with the rotors?

413

:

And he's like, I don't know

what you're talking about.

414

:

And she's like, Wink!

415

:

I got it.

416

:

Okay.

417

:

And they drop it.

418

:

Laura: She's just great.

419

:

Beth: Dom and his niece are having lunch.

420

:

And, I think this is a

secret feminism a little bit.

421

:

Laura: Oh.

422

:

Oh.

423

:

Do tell.

424

:

Beth: well, I was pleasantly surprised

by how this conversation went.

425

:

Because,

426

:

Laura: Yes.

427

:

Mm hmm.

428

:

Mm

429

:

Beth: so her uncle's like, Well,

how'd you get into that situation?

430

:

And I'm sitting there like, Oh, I'm

so ready to hate this fucker for

431

:

the victim blaming that's totally

about to come out of his mouth.

432

:

And instead she's just like, Well, you

know, at the beginning he was super

433

:

charming, and he was really nice, and

he seemed really put together, and

434

:

then once, he had me basically in his

clutches and I was under his control,

435

:

he switched up and turned abusive,

436

:

and, , I feel dirty, and he was just

like, you're not dirty, You're young

437

:

and you didn't know any better and it's

your fault and we're still in:

438

:

So I think that that

was pretty progressive

439

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

440

:

Beth: the time period Yeah, especially

because we've seen him go i'm

441

:

old fashioned and ladies cook and

442

:

Glo: Mm

443

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

444

:

Yes.

445

:

No.

446

:

I did.

447

:

I was pleasantly surprised there.

448

:

Mm

449

:

Beth: Yeah

450

:

Glo: she was aggressively eating a salad.

451

:

So I'm not sure if women in this

universe only eat vegetables.

452

:

Going back to Gabrielle, right?

453

:

So we might want to watch for that.

454

:

Are women allowed to eat anything

but vegetables in this universe?

455

:

Laura: Great

456

:

Beth: Although, like, we don't we It might

have been like a chicken caesar situation.

457

:

We don't know.

458

:

Glo: Man, such progress in one scene.

459

:

Beth: Yeah, dude.

460

:

Laura: She bolts when she

sees somebody enter the

461

:

restaurant, that she thinks is Aaron's.

462

:

Glo: response.

463

:

Beth: Yeah.

464

:

Hello, PTSD, it's me, Holly.

465

:

But, yeah.

466

:

She runs out of there, and then she

says how, she thought she saw him, and

467

:

her uncle's like, No, it wasn't him,

and you're safe, and she's like, I feel

468

:

like I'm living this nightmare over and

over, and I want to know when it ends,

469

:

and Dom says, Little by little, in time.

470

:

Glo: Ooh.

471

:

Who hurt you, Dom?

472

:

Beth: Well, the war,

473

:

probably.

474

:

Laura: Yeah.

475

:

Beth: in like five

476

:

wars, you know, Cause it's 1980s,

and he's kind of older, and

477

:

yeah.

478

:

Laura: But it's also very

progressive of him at

479

:

this point in the 80s to, acknowledge

that and say little by little and

480

:

not just oh, you're going to be

fine, honey, pat, pat, pat, pat.

481

:

Beth: Yeah, or hey, have you

tried electroshock therapy?

482

:

Bite down on this popsicle stick , and

jam this knife into the outlet.

483

:

Let's go.

484

:

Laura: Yeah.

485

:

At this point, after this scene,

I wrote, she's doing some first

486

:

class, , repression, because when we

see Holly, like, when she greets Dom

487

:

and they're about to go get clothes

and they're here in this restaurant.

488

:

She has a very, happy go lucky thing going

489

:

on, like, hee hee hee.

490

:

Oh, I'm so happy to be free.

491

:

I'm happy to be back in America.

492

:

Or,

493

:

I don't even know if she's

back in America, because she's

494

:

supposedly from Argentina.

495

:

But,

496

:

Beth: Yeah, that's a

497

:

Laura: she's like, oh,

everything's so great, but then

498

:

she has her little freak out.

499

:

And I was like, okay, so

she's just, doing a real.

500

:

I'm fine

501

:

act, I guess, you know, but,

502

:

we'll, we'll see about that.

503

:

Mm

504

:

Beth: Caesar salads are fucking bomb?

505

:

I don't know.

506

:

Also it's kind of dancing

around PTSD, not just from war.

507

:

Which I think is pretty

progressive for:

508

:

Laura: Yeah.

509

:

That a woman could experience it

from her situation with a man.

510

:

Maybe not the most widely

acknowledged idea at this time.

511

:

Beth: Yeah, because I think that

they just stopped calling PTSD

512

:

not too long before the 80s.

513

:

It used to be shell shock and

514

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

515

:

Mm hmm.

516

:

Beth: so, I think it's pretty

cool that they put that in there.

517

:

But anyway, This is Airwolf, so of

course we go from PTSD to a funeral.

518

:

Glo: Diagnosis was first given in 1980.

519

:

Beth: yeah, so super new.

520

:

Super new.

521

:

Laura: Yeah, good to

522

:

know.

523

:

Mm hmm.

524

:

Beth: So of course we're

immediately going to a funeral.

525

:

It's the funeral for, Stringfellow's

friend o who got shot by the sheriff.

526

:

Laura: Who we haven't even

mentioned his name in this

527

:

episode, have we?

528

:

Beth: know.

529

:

Yeah.

530

:

Glo: I have to go back to my old notes.

531

:

Laura: I think it's

Blake, James, James Blake.

532

:

Beth: Jimmy

533

:

Blake.

534

:

Yeah, James Blake.

535

:

Mm

536

:

Laura: Yeah, we

537

:

put it together.

538

:

But they never actually say

that in this episode, guys.

539

:

Beth: No, they don't.

540

:

And then Holly kinda This

is I feel like, the first red

541

:

flag with Holly a little bit.

542

:

Laura: Yeah.

543

:

Beth: That she's like,

sorry your friend's dead.

544

:

You want to come out and party me?

545

:

Laura: You should keep on living.

546

:

With me.

547

:

Beth: Yeah, and it was one of those

where I ignored it as a red flag

548

:

because I was like, maybe she's just

being like a weird, she's like 20

549

:

and maybe she's just sheltered and

doesn't know what to do other than,

550

:

hey, maybe we go hang out or something,

551

:

Laura: Yeah.

552

:

No, I was like, mm, she's not okay.

553

:

This is a not okay person, but I mean,

554

:

Beth: Yeah.

555

:

Laura: as far as we know, PTSD,

556

:

she's motivated by weird things at this

time, so I didn't think anything of it.

557

:

I did get kind of mad at Dom for getting

mad at Caitlin calling a spade a spade.

558

:

Beth: Yeah, she wasn't being a

dick and he acted like she said

559

:

the most offensive thing ever

560

:

Laura: basically all she said

about Holly was like, Oh,

561

:

she's clearly hitting on him.

562

:

And Dom got pretty mad about it.

563

:

Beth: Yeah.

564

:

And Tom's just like, How dare you

insinuate what's happening is happening?

565

:

Ah!

566

:

Laura: Exactly.

567

:

How dare you have eyes that can see?

568

:

Beth: How dare you be perceptive

and use critical thinking skills?

569

:

Laura: Women aren't supposed to do that.

570

:

That's upsetting to Dom.

571

:

Beth: that's true.

572

:

I don't know.

573

:

I feel like he's growing in this episode.

574

:

Maybe not.

575

:

Laura: do.

576

:

No,

577

:

I think, , growth is

an incremental process.

578

:

For

579

:

Beth: It is.

580

:

And it's not linear, I think.

581

:

Laura: Right, right.

582

:

So Caitlyn and Holly talk for a bit while

Caitlyn is setting up to do a stunt.

583

:

Her

584

:

first stunt.

585

:

Holly uses this time to make sure

that Caitlyn and String aren't dating.

586

:

Uh

587

:

Glo: thing that I put down for this too,

is does this, episode or honestly the

588

:

entire show past the Bechdel test at all.

589

:

And I don't think this

episode does at all.

590

:

I don't think this episode does because

they're only talking about Stringfellow.

591

:

Beth: Yeah.

592

:

Laura: I don't think

that's Caitlyn's choice.

593

:

I think Holly keeps

594

:

doing it

595

:

Holly is the reason it fails.

596

:

Beth: I think Caitlyn would

pass the Bechdel test.

597

:

I think Holly will never.

598

:

Glo: You heard it here, guys.

599

:

Let's wait for Caitlin to break through

and pass the Bechdel test for us.

600

:

Laura: Alright, we're

601

:

Beth: But then

602

:

Laura: a watch.

603

:

Beth: Yes, but then Dom rolls

up in the most iconic yellow

604

:

jumpsuit I have ever witnessed.

605

:

It's shiny and gold.

606

:

Laura: Still not clear

why he's wearing it.

607

:

It doesn't get a mention

of being part of the

608

:

movie or the Yeah.

609

:

Beth: and he's not even the one flying the

610

:

copter.

611

:

Laura: Nope.

612

:

Yeah.

613

:

Beth: I do want one though.

614

:

I need it.

615

:

And then Caitlin and Stringfellow

are taking a set to prep

616

:

for Caitlin's first stunt.

617

:

They want it done in one take.

618

:

and then, this worker bee who was

questioned by Aaron's henchmen earlier,

619

:

gets to set and wants to talk to

Dom urgently, but Dom waves him off.

620

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

621

:

Of course.

622

:

Dom is busy.

623

:

Beth: Yes.

624

:

But then, my favorite trope of

all time, like one of my very

625

:

favorite tropes, happens.

626

:

Caitlin and Stringfellow are forced

to make out for the sake of the movie

627

:

TM.

628

:

Laura: It's still not totally clear.

629

:

Why

630

:

Beth: I,

631

:

Glo: Because I don't think

632

:

Beth: you know what?

633

:

I love it so much.

634

:

Glo: Like

635

:

Beth: No.

636

:

No, they're

637

:

Laura: guys.

638

:

Beth: And they're like, oh, really, sell

it, and then, oh, god, my favorite part.

639

:

When, in the trope, they're kissing

and then they realize, they really

640

:

enjoy kissing each other and then,

the music swells and the director's

641

:

yelling cut and they don't hear it

because they're just so into each other.

642

:

Oh,

643

:

Glo: and Holly be creepin

644

:

Beth: Holly.

645

:

Be creepin

646

:

yeah, there's some scrote face,

647

:

you know, she, she looks

sprinkled and angry.

648

:

Then, Caitlin, gets in her

helicopter and takes off, and

649

:

the director's all like, Dive!

650

:

Dive!

651

:

Yeah.

652

:

Laura: What does she call

653

:

it?

654

:

She calls it cyclic.

655

:

Glo: that

656

:

Beth: I was just referring to it

657

:

as a

658

:

stick

659

:

Glo: like

660

:

Laura: Yeah, the stick

661

:

shift.

662

:

I mean, we can

663

:

call it that for sure.

664

:

The stick shift doesn't, it,

she says when she gets in it,

665

:

Oh, it feels a little tight,

666

:

And then,

667

:

Beth: Let me see, yeah.

668

:

Which, you know, I'm no mechanic,

but I thought that the stick

669

:

thingy would

670

:

jam

671

:

if the

672

:

bolt was

673

:

Glo: We kind of see

674

:

the

675

:

bolt.

676

:

Beth: loose.

677

:

Laura: The, the

678

:

Beth: But I don't know

anything about helicopters.

679

:

Cause they scare me.

680

:

Laura: Yeah,

681

:

same.

682

:

But the director is loving it.

683

:

He is loving her mortal

684

:

peril.

685

:

Glo: cuz it looks good It's

looking really good.

686

:

Laura: She manages to get the chopper down

687

:

Beth: Anything for the shot, baby!

688

:

Laura: like

689

:

Glo: like a, a Roman period piece

or something, cause there's,

690

:

being, you know, servants,

691

:

Laura: yeah, fun.

692

:

Exactly.

693

:

Beth: Yeah.

694

:

and who are, you know, flee.

695

:

Uh.

696

:

Yeah, and then she kinda, And

then she gets out, and she's

697

:

like, upset, and know, she

698

:

And Dom and Stringfellow come like,

what the fuck are you like, you know,

699

:

well, This was clearly, tampered

And he's like, you're wrong.

700

:

of

701

:

him.

702

:

Glo: But then they find

703

:

wrench

704

:

Beth: you know, I'm, I'm perfect and

nothing I do is, can ever be wrong.

705

:

How dare you?

706

:

Um, and so on this.

707

:

tampered Um, you know, then

the henchmen, of course, show

708

:

up, so you're like, Ah, yeah.

709

:

It was the errands guy.

710

:

Of course it was the errands guy.

711

:

Shady cryptkeeper.

712

:

Always the Um,

713

:

But yeah, and uh, yeah, so then, you know,

714

:

Laura: It was a good through

the, through the sets.

715

:

Beth: they hop in their car

716

:

and they zoom off

717

:

Laura: Um, so,

718

:

Dominic go

719

:

to like, known business?

720

:

He has, like, a

721

:

known business in

722

:

town.

723

:

Glo: It was so weird.

724

:

why are they at, like, these docks or or

725

:

Laura: Right?

726

:

Beth: Which is weird,

727

:

right?

728

:

Yeah, especially because like

the detective was like, yeah that

729

:

dude's shady and we a single like

plainclothes officer anywhere

730

:

like

731

:

Laura: Uh huh.

732

:

Yeah, yeah, and so they just

733

:

tell him,

734

:

Beth: I'm an associate!

735

:

I'm an associate of

736

:

Laura: to do

737

:

Beth: You can talk to me!

738

:

Glo: Yeah, and it just so happens that

they, the second person they talk to is

739

:

somebody who can directly talk to Aaron's.

740

:

I don't

741

:

Beth: yeah, for somebody with a large

corporation, or a large nefarious business

742

:

dude is very close with

a lot of his people.

743

:

Which is like, good for him, I guess.

744

:

Like,

745

:

Glo: Mm

746

:

Laura: I guess.

747

:

I don't know.

748

:

It's not clear what this business

749

:

does.

750

:

It's just some

751

:

Beth: Yeah.

752

:

Are they?

753

:

We don't know.

754

:

Swallow this balloon.

755

:

Laura: So,

756

:

Holly,

757

:

Beth: balloon, you get

a pizza party on me.

758

:

Laura: Caitlin on her ability

to play it cool in front of

759

:

Holly's obvious superiority.

760

:

She's just like, Oh, you know,

you're taking it so well that

761

:

I'm

762

:

here.

763

:

Yeah.

764

:

Yeah.

765

:

Beth: Like, Even?

766

:

And Caitlyn

767

:

She really, yeah, she does give pick

768

:

me.

769

:

and Caitlyn is girl.

770

:

Like, to the end, you know?

771

:

Um, yeah, and like, you know, that

772

:

Glo: and because

773

:

Beth: I don't like that trope.

774

:

The women themselves

775

:

against each for a man thing.

776

:

That's my

777

:

Glo: just like, I met him like a

778

:

week ago.

779

:

clear that.

780

:

Like even at

781

:

this point, you know, even after the kiss

782

:

and whatever she's still

like, I don't know.

783

:

I just met the

784

:

dude

785

:

Laura: and Holly, sorry, and Holly is so

young that Caitlin's just kind of like,

786

:

I've been a state trooper,

787

:

like I don't, I don't need this man,

why are you, what, what are you doing?

788

:

Beth: Holly is just focused

on this man and nothing

789

:

else.

790

:

And yeah, and Caitlin almost like hyper

focuses on their professional relationship

791

:

in a so hard that, she can't even figure

out what Holly's trying to say half

792

:

the time,

793

:

Glo: Mm

794

:

Laura: Dom and Strain get back

just the same time about as a

795

:

mysterious delivery arrives.

796

:

And it's so funny to me that

Holly and Dom both, we know why

797

:

Holly

798

:

doesn't, but Dom

799

:

does not clock this as a bad

800

:

thing.

801

:

You know, Holly's supposed to

802

:

be like in hiding, who's sending her

803

:

packages,

804

:

like,

805

:

Glo: was only Stringfellow who was

like, mm, hold back, don't open

806

:

Laura: uh huh.

807

:

Glo: from someone we don't know, and

Dom's like, oh, let me sign for it.

808

:

Beth: And like, yeah, Strickfellow's

like shaking it around and stuff and

809

:

I was like, oh my god, give me it.

810

:

And she opens it and it's this

poor little tarantula who's been

811

:

shipped from Mexico in a dark ass box

812

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

813

:

is a beautiful tarantula.

814

:

This is the Mexican red kneed tarantula.

815

:

It is They're actually endangered now.

816

:

I don't know if they were in the 80s,

but they've become endangered because

817

:

of, uh, they're so pretty, right?

818

:

That people take them from the

wild and try to raise them and

819

:

stuff, and now they're endangered.

820

:

So It hurt my feelings when

Dom stomped the spider.

821

:

Hehehehe

822

:

Glo: are you a tarantula

person or did you just

823

:

look that up for us?

824

:

Laura: no, my son

825

:

was hyper fixated on spiders

at a very young age, so I know

826

:

a lot about various spiders.

827

:

Glo: Wow That's so

828

:

Beth: on surviving my nightmare.

829

:

That is also very cool.

830

:

though.

831

:

Laura: I mean, it's really pretty

cool when your four year old is

832

:

like telling you the parts of the

spider and can say cephalothorax like

833

:

with

834

:

very understandably.

835

:

Glo: That is really cool.

836

:

Laura: So you kind of lean

into it, you let them have the

837

:

thing, you know?

838

:

Glo: So he was a spider kid.

839

:

All

840

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

841

:

He's the weird kid a little bit.

842

:

Glo: it's okay.

843

:

Laura: All right.

844

:

Somebody's gotta do it.

845

:

Beth: We love the weird kid.

846

:

I think all of us were the weird kid.

847

:

Laura: Yeah.

848

:

Yeah, yeah.

849

:

Beth: So,

850

:

Laura: This podcast loves the weird kid.

851

:

Beth: yeah.

852

:

Glo: Thank you weird kids for listening in

853

:

Beth: Yeah,

854

:

Glo: Stringfellow says,

I'll take her to the

855

:

cabin.

856

:

Laura: Yeah.

857

:

Let's go to the eagle cabin.

858

:

Glo: Oh.

859

:

my gosh guys, I literally put

in my notes this effing eagle.

860

:

Like we know they're back at the

cabin because that stupid eagle

861

:

is flying overhead, wondering

where his cello is or whatever.

862

:

Yeah.

863

:

Beth: who is now a main character.

864

:

I don't make the rules, man.

865

:

Laura: You know who else is there?

866

:

Tet.

867

:

Tet.

868

:

we don't see anywhere but the

869

:

cabin.

870

:

Beth: the f does he just live at the

871

:

cap well, we do yeah, cause

he can make his own dinner or

872

:

whatever.

873

:

Glo: yeah, I literally put in my notes.

874

:

Oh, look the neglected

875

:

dog.

876

:

Laura: He

877

:

looks pretty good for all the neglect.

878

:

Beth: steak.

879

:

Yeah.

880

:

He's no longer looking up women's

881

:

skirts, so, there's been

growth for Tet as well.

882

:

Glo: They're at a romantic fire.

883

:

Laura: Yeah, why

884

:

Beth: And they're like, real close.

885

:

Laura: Why are

886

:

we sitting on pillows by the fire, Hawk?

887

:

what are you doing?

888

:

What are you doing?

889

:

Uh

890

:

Beth: a little around her,

891

:

Laura: huh, uh huh.

892

:

Mm

893

:

Glo: Right and like she's in he

like she goes in for a kiss and

894

:

he's like, what are you doing?

895

:

Beth: Well before, though, before

we get there, they have an exchange

896

:

where he says something about, Dom or

something like completely unrelated to

897

:

Caitlin and she says you have nice

friends and he says I do you know

898

:

and it's kind of like hell yeah my

899

:

life's pretty cool

900

:

Laura: mm hmm.

901

:

Beth: and she's just like especially

Caitlin and he's like yeah she's

902

:

very nice you know and she's

like well she's not for you

903

:

Laura: huh.

904

:

Glo: Yeah.

905

:

And he's like, I wasn't

even thinking that, my dude.

906

:

Beth: yeah and then she leans

in for the kiss like what

907

:

Laura: Yeah, yeah, all of Hawk's,

alarm bells should be going off here.

908

:

Doo doo doo doo doo

909

:

Glo: Because our alarm bells

are going off now, right?

910

:

Laura: Mm

911

:

Beth: Now, at this point, I'm

sitting here like, Holly, you wild!

912

:

Glo: Yeah.

913

:

What's going on with this girl?

914

:

Beth: Um, and he does kind of like,

handle it very classily, especially

915

:

for him.

916

:

Laura: hmm.

917

:

Glo: hmm.

918

:

Laura: But I do feel like he led her on a

little bit with this whole setup in here.

919

:

Like, she is,

920

:

Glo: by the fire?

921

:

Laura: yes.

922

:

And she's like half his age, because

Stringfell is in his 40s, right?

923

:

Right?

924

:

Like, he's gotta

925

:

be, right?

926

:

And

927

:

Glo: up while we talk.

928

:

At least what, what the main what

the main character or the actor's

929

:

Laura: Yeah.

930

:

That'll be fine for me.

931

:

I

932

:

just I feel like he's supposed to

be in his 40s, but you never know.

933

:

Sometimes, they aged differently

back then, it felt like, you know?

934

:

Beth: Yeah, everyone, everyone

who's in their 20s look like they

935

:

were in their 40s, so I just don't

936

:

Laura: Mm

937

:

Glo: Okay, Airwolf went on the air when?

938

:

Beth: 84.

939

:

Glo: so he's, he's exactly 40 in

940

:

this show.

941

:

Beth: Okay.

942

:

Laura: So, she is about

half his age, like,

943

:

if she's having wine, she's

probably at least 21, right?

944

:

But, he's been,

945

:

, keeping her a tiny bit at arm's

length throughout the show.

946

:

So, why would you set this up in

this cabin this way, unless you were,

947

:

keeping your options open, you know?

948

:

Glo: Mm

949

:

Beth: Yeah.

950

:

And like, he, okay, and when they kiss,

951

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

952

:

Beth: it's not like he

blows away immediately.

953

:

He's clearly, seeing where

it goes for a minute there.

954

:

Laura: He doesn't immediately push

her away, like he should have.

955

:

Ha, ha.

956

:

Glo: Mm hmm.

957

:

Beth: Yeah, he gets into it a

958

:

little.

959

:

And then he

960

:

pushes her

961

:

away.

962

:

And then she

963

:

Says, Okay, uh,

964

:

Let's not do this.

965

:

And she, goes, Oh, it's

because of Caitlin, isn't it?

966

:

And then she storms off.

967

:

Laura: Yeah, she just , runs into the

woods, but he follows and tries to

968

:

apologize.

969

:

Kind of.

970

:

Glo: Yeah.

971

:

Laura: But she just walks away and we cut

to Dom and Caitlin starting to head out.

972

:

Beth: And he's going, hey, this is

a no fly zone, so like, don't fly in

973

:

there.

974

:

And then she's like, cool, I forgot this

thing, can you start the helicopter up?

975

:

And, she runs inside for whatever,

and he starts it up, and it's

976

:

clear that it's been tampered with

977

:

again?

978

:

Glo: Mm hmm.

979

:

Beth: We think.

980

:

Glo: It's like gasoline or oil

dripping somewhere that's hot

981

:

and then it starts smoking.

982

:

Beth: And then FIGA.

983

:

Yeah.

984

:

And then

985

:

she just comes out just in time

and is all like, Dom, get the

986

:

fuck out of there, whatcha doin?

987

:

And he's like, oh no!

988

:

Apparently I can't spell anything!

989

:

COVID was alive in 1984!

990

:

And he gets out just in time

for, the helicopter to explode.

991

:

So you're running a helicopter business.

992

:

Laura: Oh, sure.

993

:

Beth: Those are expensive,

994

:

one

995

:

would think.

996

:

And, you're now down two

helicopters, essentially, right?

997

:

Glo: And, I mean, side note as well, in a

998

:

meta sense, they must have had a

decent budget for this show because

999

:

that was a really cool explosion

and there was at least a helicopter

:

00:38:57,865 --> 00:38:59,845

shell on fire, which was pretty

:

00:38:59,845 --> 00:39:00,385

sweet.

:

00:39:01,390 --> 00:39:11,150

Beth: One could say in this episode that

cool girls do in fact look at explosions.

:

00:39:12,809 --> 00:39:14,629

Laura: And analyze them in detail.

:

00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:16,410

Beth: Yes.

:

00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:18,260

Over and over again.

:

00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:22,760

We cut to Dom and Stringfellow

yelling at the same detective as

:

00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,620

they were yelling at before, saying

that he should arrest Aarons for the

:

00:39:26,620 --> 00:39:29,060

helicopter tampering, part one and two.

:

00:39:29,060 --> 00:39:34,140

So, detectives says they have no

proof that he did this, and so he

:

00:39:34,140 --> 00:39:39,070

can't, you know, and the detective's

whole thing is, he's, this dude's

:

00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,760

doing like nefarious gangster

:

00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:41,650

things, right?

:

00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:47,360

And so, he needs an airtight case

on something this guy has done.

:

00:39:47,430 --> 00:39:51,865

And it has to be airtight because

he's slithery and he's got a

:

00:39:51,865 --> 00:39:54,655

ton of people who will get him

out of the bind if he needs it.

:

00:39:55,355 --> 00:39:58,835

So he can't just go on, oh I

suspect this dude blew up a couple

:

00:39:58,835 --> 00:40:02,755

helicopters, it's got to be like

there was murderous intent here.

:

00:40:03,104 --> 00:40:04,004

Laura: I'm just saying.

:

00:40:04,944 --> 00:40:05,724

Taxes.

:

00:40:05,724 --> 00:40:07,444

Somebody Look at the taxes!

:

00:40:08,550 --> 00:40:10,150

Beth: Look at this man's text.

:

00:40:10,460 --> 00:40:12,260

Follow the numbers.

:

00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,730

Glo: Follow Laura's new

podcast, Look at the Taxes.

:

00:40:17,110 --> 00:40:17,490

Beth: Yes.

:

00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,240

Forensic accounting with

:

00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:20,030

Laura.

:

00:40:20,184 --> 00:40:22,704

Laura: there's probably, that podcast

is probably already out there.

:

00:40:22,714 --> 00:40:23,834

Go, just go find that one.

:

00:40:24,097 --> 00:40:25,490

Glo: Mm hmm.

:

00:40:25,610 --> 00:40:26,680

Beth: I kind of want to find it.

:

00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:27,790

This is really interesting.

:

00:40:27,790 --> 00:40:30,100

Laura: So they get a call from Mr.

:

00:40:30,140 --> 00:40:36,040

Aarons and just decide to accept

it and he wants to meet them, which

:

00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,110

they also accept for some reason.

:

00:40:38,110 --> 00:40:40,960

Beth: Yeah, everyone's real chill about

this whole, , Oh, you've been trying to

:

00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:41,530

kill us?

:

00:40:42,130 --> 00:40:45,990

Yes, so come meet me at

this undisclosed, isolated

:

00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:46,650

location.

:

00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:47,200

And They're like,

:

00:40:47,205 --> 00:40:47,955

Glo: police!

:

00:40:48,660 --> 00:40:51,210

Beth: They're like, Okay, what

kind of coffee you want, girl?

:

00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,540

Like, we're gonna stop for fraps, so

:

00:40:57,754 --> 00:40:58,154

Laura: Yeah?

:

00:40:58,204 --> 00:41:03,064

we're just going to take our super

secret military grade helicopter to this

:

00:41:03,074 --> 00:41:06,204

meeting with a drug kingpin bad guy.

:

00:41:06,224 --> 00:41:07,024

What could go wrong?

:

00:41:07,894 --> 00:41:09,584

In a

:

00:41:09,730 --> 00:41:13,800

Beth: installed, , a gel light, so if

you want mani pedi time, while we discuss

:

00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,555

how you keep trying to kill us and

we'd really appreciate it if you didn't

:

00:41:17,555 --> 00:41:18,005

anymore.

:

00:41:18,255 --> 00:41:19,395

That's totally doable!

:

00:41:19,395 --> 00:41:24,405

They go to meet and Holly's like, where

everybody go, and then the assistant

:

00:41:24,405 --> 00:41:28,895

guy tells her and Caitlyn that they

went to meet with Aaron's and she

:

00:41:28,955 --> 00:41:32,575

kind of overreacts in a weird shady

:

00:41:32,575 --> 00:41:33,075

way.

:

00:41:33,304 --> 00:41:33,954

Laura: weird way.

:

00:41:33,954 --> 00:41:36,164

Beth: And Caitlyn's like, no,

it'll be fine, don't worry.

:

00:41:36,474 --> 00:41:40,394

And she turns around and she's

Stringfellow and I got busy last

:

00:41:40,394 --> 00:41:42,574

night, and now he wants to marry

:

00:41:42,574 --> 00:41:43,114

me.

:

00:41:43,379 --> 00:41:44,699

Glo: Yeah.

:

00:41:45,694 --> 00:41:48,364

Beth: And

:

00:41:49,928 --> 00:41:54,198

Laura: Yeah, Katelyn is just like,

I don't think that's my business.

:

00:41:54,238 --> 00:41:56,018

Why are you telling me your business?

:

00:41:56,018 --> 00:42:03,178

Yeah,

:

00:42:03,374 --> 00:42:05,234

Beth: known each other for a day.

:

00:42:05,274 --> 00:42:07,304

This is so weird.

:

00:42:07,509 --> 00:42:09,019

Glo: like me and Stringfellowhawk.

:

00:42:09,914 --> 00:42:10,504

Beth: Yeah.

:

00:42:12,984 --> 00:42:14,114

And just like you and Strickfellowhawk.

:

00:42:14,994 --> 00:42:16,304

So like, why is he trying to

:

00:42:16,304 --> 00:42:16,804

marry you?

:

00:42:16,979 --> 00:42:17,549

Glo: Yep.

:

00:42:18,798 --> 00:42:22,978

Laura: It's a wonder that Katelyn chooses

to stay and work with these people.

:

00:42:23,038 --> 00:42:23,428

What?

:

00:42:24,424 --> 00:42:26,624

Beth: Yeah, this is wild.

:

00:42:26,624 --> 00:42:29,544

This is a wild first week of work.

:

00:42:29,594 --> 00:42:30,664

Glo: For part time.

:

00:42:30,664 --> 00:42:32,094

She doesn't even get a full time

:

00:42:32,268 --> 00:42:32,828

Laura: Uh huh.

:

00:42:33,028 --> 00:42:33,408

Uh huh.

:

00:42:34,128 --> 00:42:37,808

Oh, and, Holly's like, oh, we

didn't, you and I didn't like each

:

00:42:37,808 --> 00:42:39,228

other at first, and it's like,

:

00:42:39,258 --> 00:42:41,918

I'm pretty sure that was

just one sided, girlfriend.

:

00:42:41,988 --> 00:42:43,598

I'm pretty sure that was just you.

:

00:42:44,574 --> 00:42:45,104

Glo: Yep.

:

00:42:45,489 --> 00:42:47,139

Beth: was neutral

:

00:42:47,378 --> 00:42:47,848

Laura: Uh huh.

:

00:42:48,348 --> 00:42:48,679

Yeah.

:

00:42:48,679 --> 00:42:50,999

Glo: Wasn't even thinking

about Holly, let's just be

:

00:42:51,342 --> 00:42:51,762

Laura: yeah,

:

00:42:51,833 --> 00:42:53,683

Beth: yeah, she was not a blip on the

:

00:42:53,683 --> 00:42:54,303

radar.

:

00:42:54,359 --> 00:42:57,259

She was transporting a body back to his

:

00:42:57,269 --> 00:42:57,889

friend,

:

00:42:59,749 --> 00:43:01,059

Glo: Very romantic.

:

00:43:01,188 --> 00:43:01,738

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:43:01,829 --> 00:43:02,289

Glo: friend.

:

00:43:02,868 --> 00:43:03,128

Laura: Yeah,

:

00:43:03,128 --> 00:43:06,518

Glo: but I also love that Caitlin,

when she shows up for Stringfellow,

:

00:43:06,528 --> 00:43:09,898

he's underneath the helicopter, right?

:

00:43:10,218 --> 00:43:14,548

And she makes fun of him, and she's

definitely not dressed up or anything.

:

00:43:14,548 --> 00:43:18,258

She has a Dallas Cowboys

hat on, and she's just her.

:

00:43:19,387 --> 00:43:21,577

Beth: And he doesn't even

recognize her at first.

:

00:43:21,587 --> 00:43:24,047

That's how little interaction they had.

:

00:43:24,047 --> 00:43:26,157

Ha Ha ha ha ha

:

00:43:26,258 --> 00:43:30,028

Glo: that, or maybe that's how many

hot girls he saves every couple of

:

00:43:30,028 --> 00:43:30,568

weeks.

:

00:43:30,621 --> 00:43:34,091

Laura: It's going through the mental

Rolodex of Oh crap, which one are you?

:

00:43:34,091 --> 00:43:44,581

So

:

00:43:44,778 --> 00:43:49,788

Glo: he, like, just turn around

and be like, eh, not this week.

:

00:43:49,788 --> 00:43:54,738

Oh,

:

00:43:54,757 --> 00:43:57,167

Beth: one of her eyes is

slightly off kilter.

:

00:44:00,017 --> 00:44:04,027

Caitlyn's, again, super classy about

it, and then she's like, I gotta go

:

00:44:04,027 --> 00:44:08,607

home, but first, I wanna say goodbye to

Stringfellow at his cabin, and Caitlyn,

:

00:44:08,617 --> 00:44:15,007

being a girl's girl, is like, sure babe,

hop in, I'll get you there, and then,

:

00:44:15,041 --> 00:44:16,071

Laura: also makes sense,

:

00:44:16,121 --> 00:44:17,501

to take her back to the cabin,

:

00:44:17,521 --> 00:44:17,941

right?

:

00:44:17,971 --> 00:44:24,106

That's where There's relative safety, so

I could see just being like, Okay, well,

:

00:44:24,276 --> 00:44:25,596

while they're figuring shit out,

:

00:44:25,606 --> 00:44:27,376

let's just go hide for a minute.

:

00:44:27,376 --> 00:44:30,536

Beth: And probably, were I

Caitlyn, and I'd heard all these

:

00:44:30,546 --> 00:44:31,686

tales about this really cool

:

00:44:31,686 --> 00:44:32,166

cabin,

:

00:44:32,305 --> 00:44:32,645

Laura: Mm hmm.

:

00:44:32,846 --> 00:44:34,426

Beth: and this coo and this dog.

:

00:44:35,097 --> 00:44:36,267

Glo: yeah, Caitlin hasn't been to the

:

00:44:36,267 --> 00:44:37,017

cabin.

:

00:44:37,235 --> 00:44:37,675

Laura: yet.

:

00:44:38,106 --> 00:44:41,466

Beth: I kinda, wanna go out

of curiosity to meet that

:

00:44:41,466 --> 00:44:42,086

dog.

:

00:44:42,146 --> 00:44:44,236

There's a lot of foliage and a dog to

:

00:44:44,236 --> 00:44:44,626

pet.

:

00:44:44,826 --> 00:44:45,866

Like, yeah.

:

00:44:46,025 --> 00:44:47,205

Laura: Mm hmm, mm hmm.

:

00:44:47,256 --> 00:44:47,756

Beth: But anyway.

:

00:44:47,756 --> 00:44:49,666

So they hop in, and take off.

:

00:44:49,666 --> 00:44:50,546

While they're doing that,

:

00:44:50,596 --> 00:44:52,416

We find out the story.

:

00:44:52,916 --> 00:44:57,866

, cause at this point, Stringfellow and Dom

have flown Airwolf out to meet Aaron's.

:

00:44:57,866 --> 00:45:00,476

And, to figure out what he wants.

:

00:45:00,506 --> 00:45:02,496

And he's like, listen,

this is what I want.

:

00:45:02,506 --> 00:45:07,596

I want my accounts book, and I

want to never see Holly ever again.

:

00:45:08,066 --> 00:45:09,226

Like, ever again.

:

00:45:09,236 --> 00:45:09,866

She cray.

:

00:45:09,866 --> 00:45:10,411

Okay.

:

00:45:10,442 --> 00:45:11,052

Glo: hmm.

:

00:45:11,801 --> 00:45:15,321

Beth: And they're like,

record scratch, hold on, what?

:

00:45:16,011 --> 00:45:16,221

Yeah.

:

00:45:16,392 --> 00:45:18,612

Glo: You're not obsessed with

her and trying to get her

:

00:45:18,612 --> 00:45:18,852

back?

:

00:45:19,531 --> 00:45:21,231

Beth: Yeah, and he's like, no!

:

00:45:21,261 --> 00:45:23,651

She cut the brake line on my car!

:

00:45:23,811 --> 00:45:25,161

You keep her!

:

00:45:25,211 --> 00:45:28,621

Laura: I wish they had shown this

accounts book that apparently she

:

00:45:28,621 --> 00:45:33,551

stole, I guess the idea is that,

because she makes Stringfellow wait

:

00:45:33,571 --> 00:45:39,771

while she grabs her coat when they're

leaving the Mexican mansion, and I guess

:

00:45:39,771 --> 00:45:40,771

it was in the coat.

:

00:45:41,091 --> 00:45:41,711

I don't know.

:

00:45:41,818 --> 00:45:43,998

Beth: I would think,

because she probably at

:

00:45:43,998 --> 00:45:46,478

that point, knew that she

was going to be rescued or

:

00:45:46,478 --> 00:45:47,028

whatever.

:

00:45:47,618 --> 00:45:50,728

I went through this, because, , at

first I was picturing, a ledger.

:

00:45:51,162 --> 00:45:51,502

Laura: Mm

:

00:45:51,948 --> 00:45:54,438

Beth: But those are, big guys, you know?

:

00:45:54,788 --> 00:45:57,568

And then I was thinking, maybe he

means, different, like, , a little

:

00:45:57,568 --> 00:45:59,828

black book, of other nefarious

:

00:45:59,858 --> 00:46:00,548

business

:

00:46:00,558 --> 00:46:01,398

dudes

:

00:46:01,462 --> 00:46:01,942

Laura: It's all his

:

00:46:01,942 --> 00:46:02,812

passwords.

:

00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:08,488

Glo: did say his coded account

book, so I wonder if it was like the

:

00:46:08,488 --> 00:46:10,728

code breaking for his account book?

:

00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:11,038

I don't

:

00:46:11,038 --> 00:46:11,338

know.

:

00:46:11,572 --> 00:46:12,522

Laura: Yeah, okay.

:

00:46:12,812 --> 00:46:13,752

Yeah, maybe it's that.

:

00:46:15,048 --> 00:46:18,258

Beth: Maybe he has to have a password

if he wants to buy a lot of cocaine.

:

00:46:18,748 --> 00:46:21,288

I

:

00:46:21,558 --> 00:46:22,668

Glo: like an okay dude.

:

00:46:22,668 --> 00:46:23,028

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:46:23,864 --> 00:46:25,474

Beth: I feel like he's still a bad

:

00:46:25,474 --> 00:46:25,864

guy.

:

00:46:25,874 --> 00:46:27,634

He's just not trying to kill

:

00:46:27,634 --> 00:46:28,114

them.

:

00:46:28,134 --> 00:46:33,354

So he's less bad than we originally,

and he's not, hitting women.

:

00:46:33,454 --> 00:46:35,584

He's not going around

kidnapping and hitting women.

:

00:46:35,584 --> 00:46:36,734

So he's not as bad as he could

:

00:46:36,744 --> 00:46:38,044

be, maybe,

:

00:46:38,408 --> 00:46:38,848

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:46:38,948 --> 00:46:40,268

He tells us that

:

00:46:40,738 --> 00:46:42,278

Holly has always brought all the

:

00:46:42,278 --> 00:46:49,958

trouble upon herself, faked every threat

against her life, and uh oh, that doesn't

:

00:46:49,978 --> 00:46:51,938

seem good for what's happening right now.

:

00:46:52,498 --> 00:46:52,978

Uh,

:

00:46:53,224 --> 00:46:58,919

Beth: And that she tried to knife a

girl that he happened to, like, murder.

:

00:46:59,919 --> 00:47:04,469

Probably just make eye contact

with for five seconds or something.

:

00:47:05,308 --> 00:47:06,898

Laura: like a waitress or something.

:

00:47:07,574 --> 00:47:08,614

Glo: Yeah, a waitress.

:

00:47:08,634 --> 00:47:09,064

Yep.

:

00:47:09,694 --> 00:47:14,124

And sent herself fake

messages through mail.

:

00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,769

Beth: And a dead cat through the

:

00:47:16,994 --> 00:47:17,544

Glo: cat.

:

00:47:17,544 --> 00:47:17,624

Yeah.

:

00:47:17,624 --> 00:47:18,224

Yeah.

:

00:47:18,244 --> 00:47:22,434

So we now know, if we piece this together.

:

00:47:23,009 --> 00:47:26,119

that she probably sent

herself that tarantula.

:

00:47:26,119 --> 00:47:26,749

Still

:

00:47:26,749 --> 00:47:27,379

not

:

00:47:27,379 --> 00:47:28,009

passing

:

00:47:28,023 --> 00:47:28,353

Laura: Very

:

00:47:28,353 --> 00:47:29,093

possible.

:

00:47:29,229 --> 00:47:31,759

Beth: rude because it

didn't have to die like

:

00:47:31,883 --> 00:47:32,083

Laura: Nope.

:

00:47:32,133 --> 00:47:35,843

Dom gets one punch in on

Aaron's, on his way out.

:

00:47:35,843 --> 00:47:37,013

Beth: But , eh, fair.

:

00:47:37,223 --> 00:47:37,643

I mean,

:

00:47:38,383 --> 00:47:40,193

not fair, but you're a boomer in the

:

00:47:40,213 --> 00:47:41,003

80s.

:

00:47:41,003 --> 00:47:42,943

Talking to another boomer in the 80s.

:

00:47:42,943 --> 00:47:45,353

You probably, that's how,

like, they express feelings.

:

00:47:45,383 --> 00:47:45,713

I don't

:

00:47:45,857 --> 00:47:46,217

Laura: Sure.

:

00:47:46,357 --> 00:47:46,647

Yeah.

:

00:47:46,957 --> 00:47:47,187

Yeah.

:

00:47:47,237 --> 00:47:49,937

Beth: So then we cut to Caitlin

flying Holly to the cabin.

:

00:47:49,937 --> 00:47:52,977

And then Holly says some truly crazy shit.

:

00:47:53,027 --> 00:47:55,007

Glo: Bechdel test.

:

00:47:55,537 --> 00:47:55,797

Beth: No.

:

00:47:55,971 --> 00:47:58,131

Laura: about how men always leave her

:

00:47:58,171 --> 00:48:01,761

and worrying about Stringfellow too, so.

:

00:48:02,032 --> 00:48:07,162

Beth: Yeah, and how men always leave her

because of GIRLS LIKE you to Caitlyn.

:

00:48:07,361 --> 00:48:07,681

Laura: huh.

:

00:48:07,691 --> 00:48:10,971

Glo: I have a direct quote,

I've had a lot of men close to

:

00:48:10,971 --> 00:48:13,011

me, but they never stay close.

:

00:48:13,011 --> 00:48:13,291

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:48:14,131 --> 00:48:15,971

Caitlin has bigger fish to fry.

:

00:48:16,191 --> 00:48:19,231

She's talking to the military

about where their restricted

:

00:48:19,231 --> 00:48:21,251

airspace is and getting out of it.

:

00:48:21,251 --> 00:48:25,611

Beth: Yes, and , the guy she's

talking to, very condescendingly

:

00:48:25,611 --> 00:48:27,741

tells her that it's a no no zone.

:

00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:28,870

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:48:29,150 --> 00:48:29,440

Yeah.

:

00:48:30,061 --> 00:48:34,031

Beth: and then she has some,

very reasonable response to that.

:

00:48:34,541 --> 00:48:37,291

Like, oh, sorry, we'll,

head out or whatever.

:

00:48:37,531 --> 00:48:39,591

And he's like, you girls will never learn!

:

00:48:39,991 --> 00:48:41,781

And so then she calls him a chauvinist.

:

00:48:41,791 --> 00:48:43,311

She's like, chauvinist!

:

00:48:43,431 --> 00:48:43,781

Over and out!

:

00:48:45,710 --> 00:48:46,080

Laura: yeah

:

00:48:46,170 --> 00:48:47,290

I do like that.

:

00:48:47,941 --> 00:48:51,631

Beth: yeah, that pretty much

solidified my love for Caitlyn.

:

00:48:51,631 --> 00:48:54,941

Laura: But Holly's busy pulling

a gun out of her handbag.

:

00:48:55,777 --> 00:48:56,897

Glo: yeah

:

00:48:58,122 --> 00:49:00,782

Beth: you know Holly's

got a fuckin revolver.

:

00:49:00,782 --> 00:49:03,502

Like

:

00:49:03,502 --> 00:49:07,612

Glo: and meanwhile the guys at the air

control are like should we shoot him

:

00:49:07,612 --> 00:49:13,062

down should we not and the guy He says

quote what if it's not just a woman

:

00:49:13,302 --> 00:49:15,552

and the other guy says mother of God

:

00:49:16,916 --> 00:49:18,706

Beth: Like, What does that mean?

:

00:49:19,475 --> 00:49:19,615

Laura: if

:

00:49:19,892 --> 00:49:21,222

Glo: What if it's not just a

:

00:49:21,222 --> 00:49:21,832

woman?

:

00:49:22,186 --> 00:49:25,356

Beth: What if she's,

she's secretly the Kraken?

:

00:49:25,676 --> 00:49:27,416

Mother of God.

:

00:49:28,095 --> 00:49:28,645

Laura: What if it's

:

00:49:28,645 --> 00:49:29,045

worse?

:

00:49:29,065 --> 00:49:30,925

What if it's two women?

:

00:49:34,625 --> 00:49:34,945

God

:

00:49:34,945 --> 00:49:35,695

help us all.

:

00:49:36,962 --> 00:49:39,872

Beth: And then Airwolf comes

into the space and they're like

:

00:49:39,872 --> 00:49:41,222

really confused about what it

:

00:49:41,222 --> 00:49:41,622

is.

:

00:49:41,712 --> 00:49:41,762

So like,

:

00:49:42,092 --> 00:49:49,432

Glo: And they show it, listener, So they

show Holly on the screen with the circle

:

00:49:49,442 --> 00:49:51,662

that represents, a bogey or whatever.

:

00:49:51,952 --> 00:49:57,122

And then in just zooms airwall and they're

like, it's definitely a helicopter.

:

00:49:57,252 --> 00:49:58,932

Helicopters can't go that fast.

:

00:49:59,802 --> 00:50:03,792

Beth: so they're like, oh,

confused jibbering, let's shoot

:

00:50:03,976 --> 00:50:04,996

Laura: Yeah, scramble

:

00:50:04,996 --> 00:50:05,546

the jets.

:

00:50:06,522 --> 00:50:06,972

Glo: Yep.

:

00:50:07,152 --> 00:50:08,552

They have jets coming after

:

00:50:08,552 --> 00:50:08,832

them.

:

00:50:08,832 --> 00:50:13,362

And again, we have one of those missile

shots where it's just somebody zooming

:

00:50:13,362 --> 00:50:15,992

a missile with a camera behind it

:

00:50:16,151 --> 00:50:16,811

Laura: yeah,

:

00:50:17,172 --> 00:50:17,632

Glo: with their

:

00:50:17,632 --> 00:50:18,202

hands or

:

00:50:18,392 --> 00:50:20,332

Beth: with, the music

:

00:50:20,652 --> 00:50:21,382

Glo: Oh yeah.

:

00:50:21,442 --> 00:50:22,102

Oh yeah.

:

00:50:22,131 --> 00:50:23,071

Laura: mm hmm, yeah.

:

00:50:23,101 --> 00:50:24,621

it's like the airwolf theme,

:

00:50:24,841 --> 00:50:25,271

we get

:

00:50:25,342 --> 00:50:26,612

Glo: do do, do do do do.

:

00:50:26,612 --> 00:50:26,752

do.

:

00:50:26,752 --> 00:50:28,187

do do do do do.

:

00:50:28,187 --> 00:50:28,522

Mm

:

00:50:31,391 --> 00:50:35,991

Laura: yeah, airwolf deflects like

a missile, Caitlyn struggles with

:

00:50:35,991 --> 00:50:39,071

Holly, gets her knocked out, I guess,

:

00:50:39,682 --> 00:50:40,762

Beth: I don't know how

she did that, but it

:

00:50:40,762 --> 00:50:41,422

was impressive.

:

00:50:41,541 --> 00:50:41,891

Laura: yeah,

:

00:50:42,472 --> 00:50:42,982

Beth: Um,

:

00:50:43,501 --> 00:50:47,381

Laura: loses the jets by shooting

up really high or something.

:

00:50:48,312 --> 00:50:50,652

Beth: and then shooting

out of the no, no zone.

:

00:50:50,742 --> 00:50:52,752

And then they're like, oh, okay.

:

00:50:52,752 --> 00:50:53,952

Work here is done.

:

00:50:55,231 --> 00:50:57,181

Laura: I'm pretty sure

the military doesn't just

:

00:50:57,191 --> 00:50:59,681

give up once you leave the no fly zone.

:

00:50:59,691 --> 00:51:01,801

They're just like, oh, it's

all fine now, you know?

:

00:51:02,412 --> 00:51:02,982

Beth: Yeah.

:

00:51:04,381 --> 00:51:07,801

Laura: But they definitely let Caitlin go

and I don't think that's how that works.

:

00:51:08,471 --> 00:51:09,001

But okay.

:

00:51:09,152 --> 00:51:13,472

Beth: yeah, I think usually they at least

wanna know why you were in the no-no zone.

:

00:51:13,877 --> 00:51:14,627

I don't know.

:

00:51:15,597 --> 00:51:20,357

If any of those dudes with the

really cool pants on their jumpsuits

:

00:51:20,417 --> 00:51:26,447

are listening, send us an email

and tell us what the military does

:

00:51:26,447 --> 00:51:28,117

when anybody's in the no fly zone.

:

00:51:28,547 --> 00:51:28,857

Thanks!

:

00:51:28,857 --> 00:51:29,567

Laura: So.

:

00:51:30,117 --> 00:51:33,227

We're gonna send Holly off to vacation.

:

00:51:34,078 --> 00:51:37,428

Glo: Yeah, it says the grandmother

is sending Holly on vacation

:

00:51:37,428 --> 00:51:41,928

and it's heavily implied that

this is some kind of psychiatric

:

00:51:42,547 --> 00:51:43,237

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:51:43,817 --> 00:51:48,987

Yeah, well, they say thanks doctor

as they're leaving and I'm like

:

00:51:48,987 --> 00:51:51,027

she's getting a lobotomy, right?

:

00:51:51,237 --> 00:51:52,217

They're not letting her

:

00:51:52,217 --> 00:51:57,017

out of this without a little like

zappy zap and cutty cut probably.

:

00:51:57,018 --> 00:51:57,978

Glo: I don't know.

:

00:51:58,793 --> 00:51:58,973

Beth: I

:

00:51:58,977 --> 00:51:59,837

Laura: I hope.

:

00:52:00,573 --> 00:52:03,103

Beth: were outlawed in the 70s, but

:

00:52:03,103 --> 00:52:03,703

don't quote me

:

00:52:03,808 --> 00:52:05,158

Glo: Hold on, I'm gonna look it up again.

:

00:52:05,168 --> 00:52:05,818

Keep talking.

:

00:52:06,583 --> 00:52:08,433

Beth: might have been like the 60s,

:

00:52:08,472 --> 00:52:10,652

Laura: pretty sure they can

still zappy zap someone.

:

00:52:10,652 --> 00:52:11,072

I don't know.

:

00:52:11,072 --> 00:52:11,402

They're not

:

00:52:11,402 --> 00:52:13,262

going to do pleasant things to Holly, I

:

00:52:13,282 --> 00:52:13,443

don't

:

00:52:13,443 --> 00:52:18,613

Beth: They can still electroshock therapy,

but it's not what you're thinking.

:

00:52:18,623 --> 00:52:20,773

Like there are brain scans involved,

:

00:52:20,793 --> 00:52:22,058

it's Okay.

:

00:52:22,368 --> 00:52:28,408

It's actually super great for med

resistant severe depression, apparently.

:

00:52:28,408 --> 00:52:31,348

Like, it can really help because

it just kind of resets your brain.

:

00:52:31,698 --> 00:52:33,298

But they actually know what they're doing

:

00:52:33,492 --> 00:52:33,852

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:52:33,988 --> 00:52:38,588

Beth: not like, Bite down on this

plastic spoon and let's go to town!

:

00:52:38,962 --> 00:52:39,372

Laura: sure.

:

00:52:39,718 --> 00:52:41,828

Glo: The answer is:

:

00:52:42,152 --> 00:52:42,702

Laura: okay.

:

00:52:42,712 --> 00:52:45,492

So it's been out of fashion a

little longer than I thought.

:

00:52:45,612 --> 00:52:46,142

All right.

:

00:52:46,812 --> 00:52:47,412

Excellent.

:

00:52:47,948 --> 00:52:48,538

Beth: As long as it

:

00:52:48,558 --> 00:52:50,038

should be, really.

:

00:52:50,038 --> 00:52:55,638

I think Kennedy was the one

who, Yeah, I think it was:

:

00:52:55,658 --> 00:52:57,568

that mental institutions kind of

:

00:52:57,568 --> 00:52:58,158

Laura: yeah,

:

00:52:58,408 --> 00:52:58,778

I know what

:

00:52:58,778 --> 00:52:59,218

you mean.

:

00:52:59,724 --> 00:53:01,889

Beth: less What we think

:

00:53:01,889 --> 00:53:05,189

of when we think of, horror

stories and mental institutions.

:

00:53:06,003 --> 00:53:08,323

Laura: There were a lot of

institutions that were closed, and

:

00:53:08,323 --> 00:53:08,793

Beth: yeah.

:

00:53:08,987 --> 00:53:10,177

Laura: being unethical.

:

00:53:10,597 --> 00:53:11,777

Let's be clear, yeah.

:

00:53:11,827 --> 00:53:12,937

Beth: So she probably,

:

00:53:13,647 --> 00:53:15,607

Is maybe getting help.

:

00:53:16,367 --> 00:53:19,297

They're probably just gonna

shove lithium at her and be like,

:

00:53:19,337 --> 00:53:20,737

Okay, you're all better now.

:

00:53:20,737 --> 00:53:21,607

Bye bye.

:

00:53:21,657 --> 00:53:22,007

But,

:

00:53:22,007 --> 00:53:22,387

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:53:22,597 --> 00:53:23,347

Who knows?

:

00:53:23,637 --> 00:53:26,387

Hopefully she gets real mental

health help, because it is clear

:

00:53:26,387 --> 00:53:28,217

that this character needs something.

:

00:53:29,038 --> 00:53:29,768

Beth: Yeah.

:

00:53:29,858 --> 00:53:32,638

Obviously I am not a

mental health professional,

:

00:53:33,238 --> 00:53:40,238

I have simply taken some abnormal psych

classes, and I myself am neuro spicy,

:

00:53:41,058 --> 00:53:46,378

But if I were to guess, I mean a

lot of this feels like symptoms

:

00:53:46,418 --> 00:53:48,408

of Borderline personality

:

00:53:48,622 --> 00:53:49,122

Laura: Mm hmm.

:

00:53:49,188 --> 00:53:51,088

Beth: but almost a caricature of it

:

00:53:51,572 --> 00:53:51,892

Laura: Oh yeah.

:

00:53:52,442 --> 00:53:56,352

That's probably all these writers

were capable of, is a caricature

:

00:53:56,372 --> 00:53:57,872

of a serious mental illness.

:

00:53:58,668 --> 00:54:04,028

Beth: Yeah, especially in the 80s when no

one knew shit about fuck when it came to

:

00:54:04,028 --> 00:54:04,388

that

:

00:54:04,839 --> 00:54:05,759

Glo: mean, let's be real.

:

00:54:05,759 --> 00:54:09,169

It hasn't been within the last maybe

10 years that people have been like

:

00:54:09,339 --> 00:54:14,009

making real characters or real,

stories about real mental illness.

:

00:54:14,039 --> 00:54:14,429

And even

:

00:54:14,448 --> 00:54:14,868

Beth: Yeah,

:

00:54:14,982 --> 00:54:15,322

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:54:15,822 --> 00:54:16,782

Yeah, for sure.

:

00:54:16,782 --> 00:54:22,122

So Santini gets a new helicopter.

:

00:54:22,477 --> 00:54:24,357

Cuz he needs to replace the two that

:

00:54:24,547 --> 00:54:25,227

got broked.

:

00:54:25,867 --> 00:54:28,457

And they hassle Caitlyn to the credits.

:

00:54:28,557 --> 00:54:31,037

I wrote down the line

that she's like, Oh, work

:

00:54:31,037 --> 00:54:31,697

for cheap!

:

00:54:32,027 --> 00:54:32,617

And I thought,

:

00:54:32,617 --> 00:54:34,067

yeah girl, you sure will.

:

00:54:34,077 --> 00:54:35,767

Seventy cents on the dollar.

:

00:54:36,107 --> 00:54:36,117

Tsk!

:

00:54:36,117 --> 00:54:40,607

Ahahahah.

:

00:54:40,657 --> 00:54:43,667

Glo: Dom says you're hired

and then we get a freeze frame

:

00:54:43,667 --> 00:54:46,997

hug between Dom and Katelyn.

:

00:54:47,077 --> 00:54:49,737

Beth: I feel like is their

relationship in a nutshell.

:

00:54:49,737 --> 00:54:51,587

But yeah, I'm invested

now that Caitlin's in it.

:

00:54:51,927 --> 00:54:52,106

Laura: am

:

00:54:52,137 --> 00:54:52,777

Beth: here for the show now.

:

00:54:53,557 --> 00:54:54,717

Glo: Are we gonna like this

:

00:54:54,717 --> 00:54:55,597

show guys?

:

00:54:55,736 --> 00:54:56,476

Laura: no, don't say

:

00:54:56,476 --> 00:54:57,066

that.

:

00:54:57,396 --> 00:54:58,476

Don't go that far.

:

00:54:58,476 --> 00:54:58,836

Beth: Maybe.

:

00:54:59,206 --> 00:55:00,166

Glo: I don't know guys.

:

00:55:00,435 --> 00:55:00,875

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:55:01,215 --> 00:55:05,265

I mean, we got Secret Feminism, and then

we actually got, Caitlyn being super

:

00:55:05,265 --> 00:55:08,545

chill about everything, super cool.

:

00:55:08,545 --> 00:55:08,785

Glo: and

:

00:55:08,785 --> 00:55:10,915

Dom having a pretty cool moment

:

00:55:11,393 --> 00:55:11,883

Laura: Mm hmm.

:

00:55:12,084 --> 00:55:12,834

Beth: Yeah.

:

00:55:12,944 --> 00:55:16,404

And Stringfellow becoming

less of a weirdo.

:

00:55:16,404 --> 00:55:20,094

Glo: But still entrapping women

in weird sexual situations, so

:

00:55:20,094 --> 00:55:21,824

Don't give him too much credit yet.

:

00:55:21,983 --> 00:55:22,073

Laura: I

:

00:55:22,073 --> 00:55:23,423

don't have much about Strange.

:

00:55:23,433 --> 00:55:24,623

Don't feel great there.

:

00:55:24,623 --> 00:55:24,899

Yeah.

:

00:55:24,899 --> 00:55:25,176

Yeah.

:

00:55:25,176 --> 00:55:25,452

Yeah.

:

00:55:25,704 --> 00:55:27,184

Beth: I still don't feel great there, but

:

00:55:28,854 --> 00:55:32,584

and I cannot believe I have

to say this, listener, but

:

00:55:33,984 --> 00:55:39,244

at least his dog is no longer

looking up women's skirts.

:

00:55:39,244 --> 00:55:40,204

What is this show?

:

00:55:40,288 --> 00:55:44,028

Laura: we only saw the dog for a

second, so let's not go crazy yet.

:

00:55:44,028 --> 00:55:44,948

Beth: That's true.

:

00:55:45,402 --> 00:55:46,232

Laura: There's still time.

:

00:55:46,232 --> 00:55:50,952

Eww.

:

00:55:51,018 --> 00:55:51,848

Glo: week, guys?

:

00:55:51,953 --> 00:55:52,323

Beth: shit!

:

00:55:52,323 --> 00:55:56,863

Sorry, I got really excited because this

is my favorite part, the mash portion.

:

00:55:57,193 --> 00:56:02,463

MASH, for those of you who are not a

13 year old girl and the early aughts,

:

00:56:02,803 --> 00:56:06,223

is a game that we use to predict things.

:

00:56:06,223 --> 00:56:10,363

It's a very girly game, so of course

that's how we predict our episodes,

:

00:56:10,703 --> 00:56:11,833

because what are we going to do?

:

00:56:12,493 --> 00:56:13,753

Roll some dice?

:

00:56:13,753 --> 00:56:15,053

Glo: Like, nerds?

:

00:56:15,548 --> 00:56:15,948

Beth: nerds?

:

00:56:16,567 --> 00:56:17,737

Laura: Gross.

:

00:56:17,737 --> 00:56:21,057

Beth: I said it loud enough that I was

hoping Ja'far heard, but I don't think

:

00:56:21,057 --> 00:56:21,417

he did,

:

00:56:21,617 --> 00:56:22,047

so.

:

00:56:22,047 --> 00:56:23,297

Laura: Well, he'll hear it eventually.

:

00:56:23,347 --> 00:56:28,573

Glo: to our brother podcast

this time on, who does roll dice

:

00:56:28,667 --> 00:56:30,037

Laura: Last time on, actually.

:

00:56:30,813 --> 00:56:31,143

Glo: yeah.

:

00:56:31,213 --> 00:56:32,003

Wait, last time

:

00:56:32,107 --> 00:56:32,597

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:56:33,403 --> 00:56:33,913

Glo: Oh, what did I

:

00:56:34,107 --> 00:56:34,727

Laura: You said this

:

00:56:34,727 --> 00:56:35,147

time on,

:

00:56:35,208 --> 00:56:37,748

Glo: on, oh, sorry, last time on.

:

00:56:37,778 --> 00:56:38,548

I'm sorry.

:

00:56:39,338 --> 00:56:43,728

Guys, I've been, I have

been in a musical all

:

00:56:43,728 --> 00:56:44,508

weekend.

:

00:56:44,558 --> 00:56:47,158

And this was closing

night and I am tired.

:

00:56:47,258 --> 00:56:49,188

We did Mamma Mia as a family.

:

00:56:49,603 --> 00:56:53,773

With Ben and Henry, and it

was a really great show.

:

00:56:55,237 --> 00:56:55,727

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:56:56,108 --> 00:56:56,608

Beth: to stop.

:

00:56:56,608 --> 00:56:58,248

Laura: I feel like I need some music.

:

00:56:58,458 --> 00:56:59,188

Okay, stop.

:

00:56:59,188 --> 00:57:03,498

Beth: This is what it looks like,

cause I started drawing too early.

:

00:57:03,498 --> 00:57:04,308

3,

:

00:57:04,342 --> 00:57:05,322

Laura: how this works out.

:

00:57:05,878 --> 00:57:05,978

Beth: 10!

:

00:57:06,488 --> 00:57:09,468

10 rings around the Rosie!

:

00:57:09,468 --> 00:57:12,798

I will not explain what that means,

because I don't know what that means.

:

00:57:16,497 --> 00:57:17,277

Laura: No,

:

00:57:17,277 --> 00:57:17,807

Beth: Yes.

:

00:57:17,807 --> 00:57:18,537

Glo: that's weird.

:

00:57:18,537 --> 00:57:19,227

Laura: That is wild.

:

00:57:20,663 --> 00:57:22,323

Beth: So, episode six?

:

00:57:22,528 --> 00:57:23,098

Laura: Okay.

:

00:57:23,158 --> 00:57:24,948

This one has a really long description.

:

00:57:24,948 --> 00:57:27,238

I'm just going to read,

like, first sentence.

:

00:57:27,948 --> 00:57:31,453

It is, Sins of the past.

:

00:57:32,083 --> 00:57:35,423

Dom and String return to Dom's

birthplace, when Dom learns

:

00:57:35,423 --> 00:57:36,943

that his daughter has died of a

:

00:57:36,943 --> 00:57:38,183

drug overdose.

:

00:57:38,183 --> 00:57:41,173

Beth: So do we think this

is the mom of Holly, then?

:

00:57:41,173 --> 00:57:41,673

No.

:

00:57:41,713 --> 00:57:42,873

Laura: She would be like,

:

00:57:42,873 --> 00:57:44,523

cousin of Holly, right?

:

00:57:44,523 --> 00:57:45,633

Beth: She would be cousin of

:

00:57:45,633 --> 00:57:45,943

Holly.

:

00:57:45,943 --> 00:57:50,773

Yes, because Dom is the

uncle, so she's his sibling's

:

00:57:50,773 --> 00:57:51,593

child.

:

00:57:51,593 --> 00:57:52,053

Glo: Yes.

:

00:57:52,807 --> 00:57:53,237

Beth: yeah.

:

00:57:53,237 --> 00:57:57,127

yeah.

:

00:57:57,416 --> 00:57:58,236

Laura: family stuff.

:

00:57:58,446 --> 00:57:58,876

I don't like,

:

00:57:58,876 --> 00:57:59,956

that, even for this

:

00:57:59,956 --> 00:58:00,416

guy.

:

00:58:00,973 --> 00:58:01,633

Glo: Mm hmm.

:

00:58:01,963 --> 00:58:02,203

Poor

:

00:58:02,203 --> 00:58:02,973

mermaid man.

:

00:58:02,986 --> 00:58:03,546

Laura: Yeah,

:

00:58:04,166 --> 00:58:04,346

I feel kind of

:

00:58:04,356 --> 00:58:04,806

bad.

:

00:58:05,732 --> 00:58:07,142

Beth: Man's character explains a

:

00:58:07,242 --> 00:58:08,092

lot now.

:

00:58:08,092 --> 00:58:08,402

Like,

:

00:58:08,402 --> 00:58:09,262

his crankiness,

:

00:58:10,082 --> 00:58:10,222

his

:

00:58:10,222 --> 00:58:10,622

overall

:

00:58:10,622 --> 00:58:11,162

malaise.

:

00:58:11,162 --> 00:58:11,822

The malaise of

:

00:58:11,822 --> 00:58:12,622

Mermaid Man.

:

00:58:12,822 --> 00:58:14,192

There's the title of our episode.

:

00:58:14,782 --> 00:58:16,192

Okay, that is a joke.

:

00:58:16,192 --> 00:58:17,712

Season 2, episode 6.

:

00:58:19,212 --> 00:58:19,982

All right, cool.

:

00:58:20,032 --> 00:58:20,842

We'll do that next

:

00:58:20,842 --> 00:58:21,182

week.

:

00:58:21,486 --> 00:58:26,626

So, thanks for listening,

and, thanks to Airwolf for

:

00:58:26,626 --> 00:58:27,326

existing.

:

00:58:27,366 --> 00:58:28,126

Glo: We thinking it?

:

00:58:28,260 --> 00:58:29,240

Laura: Not, not too many

:

00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:29,770

thanks.

:

00:58:29,821 --> 00:58:29,841

Beth: know?

:

00:58:29,841 --> 00:58:31,161

It gives us a fun thing to

:

00:58:31,161 --> 00:58:31,371

do

:

00:58:31,590 --> 00:58:32,930

Laura: Maybe little thanks.

:

00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,040

Maybe little bit.

:

00:58:34,921 --> 00:58:38,801

Beth: The tiniest, most

begrudging thanks to Airwolf for

:

00:58:38,801 --> 00:58:39,381

existing.

:

00:58:39,806 --> 00:58:43,146

Glo: And thank you for Caitlyn for

being a character that's refreshing.

:

00:58:44,030 --> 00:58:44,830

Laura: Big props.

:

00:58:44,830 --> 00:58:47,080

Beth: Thank you to all

the girls girls out there.

:

00:58:47,879 --> 00:58:48,289

Laura: Indeed.

00:58:48,490 --> 00:58:52,770

Beth: Yeah, so, we'll see you next

week, take care and blast off!

:

00:58:53,014 --> 00:58:53,624
