1:38
Anyway guys, let's watch the Penelope show shall we?
1:45
Alright guys, the full reaction watched along.
1:47
That's about it for a real reject.
1:49
Who have literally been saving the channel.
1:52
I've said that for a while, but my God hasn't been more true than ever.
2:00
And you can also support the channel by.
2:04
Get it or our parallel.
2:06
I got John for not much time.
2:08
This was a very last minute shoot.
2:09
I apologize considering how thick of an episode this is.
2:12
You guys usually just binge anyway.
2:15
Take the time to talk about her episode.
2:17
You don't appreciate this shit the way we do.
2:20
That's me deflecting for my own shortcomings.
2:24
So yeah, man, that was a crazy ending.
2:27
That was that was intense.
2:29
I was kind of worried.
2:30
Oh, like after what I liked one and two,
2:32
but I wasn't like enthralled when I was like everyone said
2:35
this season's like great and better.
2:37
And and I wasn't like quite captivated.
2:39
I was trying to express my.
2:41
Like maybe what some of my resistance was because of like trying to
2:45
acclimate to the fact that we don't really have our leads now.
2:48
And it's a completely different shift.
2:51
But this one like kind of removed all that.
2:53
I think actually having Daphne around kind of soft into transition
2:57
All my all my own subjective level.
2:58
But even before she showed up, I was very much like,
3:01
oh, this is like the Richard didn't show I love.
3:04
I was really fucking hooked into that man.
3:07
That was gripping from the flashbacks to learning about the dad
3:11
and the mom and understanding.
3:13
Anthony became to be who he is to everything going on with Kate and
3:18
Ed Wienham and even down to the feathering tens.
3:20
That was all amazing, man.
3:22
Every day, every plot line was fascinating.
3:24
And yeah, it's like after having Anthony as a prominent one of your
3:29
main supporting characters of season one, but not the main character,
3:33
not one of the main couple of season one, you know,
3:36
to expound upon him here in ways that also incorporate like Lady Bridgerton.
3:42
I thought we're really, really fantastic because yeah,
3:45
you watched this transition of like, oh shit,
3:48
you are just like a boy in way over your head after this freak occurrence.
3:52
And now you're not only having to like learn about the world and make
3:56
those adult decisions, but now you're also having to like take on way too
4:00
much, you know, harsh grieving nuance all at once.
4:05
And yeah, it's just really tempered as it just does nicely.
4:09
You can already tell what might be lurking under the surface.
4:12
And they've hinted at the history of, you know,
4:14
the great love between Lady and Edmund Bridgerton.
4:18
But yeah, it like finally witnessed that he was very impacting.
4:21
And then yeah, you start to see, especially knowing then what,
4:24
Kate and Edwina's history a little bit is, you know,
4:26
there's like so much connective tissue there.
4:29
And, and it's really fun to watch because it's like,
4:33
him courting Edwina is like, you can see the plan.
4:37
You're like, yeah, they're, they're fun together.
4:40
Like these two could be like content-ish,
4:43
but she deserves freaking love.
4:46
And like, and, and Anthony and Kate are so clearly made for each other
4:50
in ways that neither of them can see yet.
4:52
And so like, that's a great classic romance game.
4:55
And I think this season, especially as of an episode like this
4:58
is really like drawing it well.
5:01
I wonder if in the book if they're actually biological sisters.
5:05
I think it softens the blow when they're not,
5:07
it's like when I say softens the blow,
5:09
I mean, like maybe five percent softens the blow.
5:13
And when you're like pure biological, it's like,
5:16
so you're switching from a little funky,
5:20
a little funky, but, uh, but yeah,
5:22
yeah, it softens the sort of context a little bit for you.
5:25
So you can be like, oh, yeah, they're two,
5:27
they're, they're sisters by circumstance.
5:31
You know, but, but yeah, the,
5:33
the lines of etiquette seem a little less rigid there
5:37
if they're not like full sisters.
5:39
Well, similar to season one,
5:41
when we got Simon's flashback,
5:43
where we understood why he's such a hard ass.
5:46
It's like we kind of knew why Anthony was a hard ass,
5:48
but we didn't quite get the details,
5:51
or get the chance to feel it,
5:53
outside of knowing the information that he became head of the family,
5:56
but understanding specifically the point and time
5:59
of when that occurred,
6:00
does add so much nuance to the situation.
6:05
for the bees in the season one opening credits,
6:07
or they just really heavily emphasize them here now,
6:10
because yeah, that's,
6:12
it's like the same opening credits, right?
6:15
I think so. I think the bee shows up.
6:16
I remember season one had a couple moments
6:19
where the bee would appear in episodes
6:23
but I think it shows up in the intro card.
6:26
I like the bookend of it,
6:27
about how the bee takes life in the beginning,
6:29
and then now it's like breathing new life in with the heartbeats,
6:33
like you lose a heartbeat in the beginning,
6:36
and now they are bringing two heartbeats.
6:38
You have 60 heartbeats.
6:40
Yeah, amplifying some deep there.
6:42
What's your relationship with food right now, rejects?
6:44
So last year as many of you guys know,
6:46
and full psycho discipline,
6:48
I chased a specific physique,
6:50
just a proof I could do it.
6:52
This year, I'm learning maintenance,
6:54
I'm learning moderation,
6:55
and how not to spiral,
6:57
because I missed one macro.
6:59
It's a work in progress.
7:01
I want to mention to you how grateful I am,
7:03
how so many of you guys have messaged me directly
7:05
how you got on the fuel
7:08
and how much you're enjoying it.
7:10
Because here's the honest part.
7:11
I'm still the guy who likes to track what he eats
7:13
and simultaneously lacks the discipline to meal prep.
7:16
That's been something like fuel black edition
7:18
ready to drink really helps save the day.
7:20
That's right, Koi Chantro.
7:21
I set aside one just for me,
7:23
so you didn't jack at the next time you're in this office.
7:25
It's a complete meal in a bottle,
7:27
35 grams of protein,
7:28
27 essential vitamins and minerals,
7:29
no artificial sweeteners, colors,
7:31
or flavors, gluten-free,
7:34
and it actually helps keep you full
7:36
and sustain for a few hours.
7:37
And sometimes when I'm home,
7:38
I use the black edition powder
7:39
because you can mix it in with other stuff
7:41
to make it more tasty,
7:43
I can be lazy despite promoting discipline.
7:46
That's why this thing is really great.
7:47
Because ready to drink RTD for short.
7:50
that's Robert Downey Jr.
7:51
RTD ready to drink is great when life is chaotic.
7:53
Empower when I want more control
7:55
and I mix in a little bit more of my own little zest.

8:15
Something new once there.
8:17
Yeah, man, the bees are the cruel architects
8:20
of the universe here.
8:22
They could show up one instant,
8:24
show up another instant,
8:25
get you dangerously close to a romance
8:27
that we know should happen,
8:28
but right now it's messed up.
8:30
Well, the traumatic half of the flashbacks
8:33
too feels sincerely dramatic and sad
8:37
where like the cruelty of Simon
8:40
and when we're comparing flashbacks
8:42
the cruelty of Simon's felt like
8:46
even though people like that definitely exist.
8:50
There was something about the execution
8:52
that felt a little hammed up.
8:55
The circumstance is very extreme.
8:57
And it was the capturing of how they did it.
8:59
There was none of that in these flashbacks.
9:02
And in terms of the present day storyline
9:04
with the game that they were playing
9:06
and the way they built up the tension
9:07
leading to the ending moment,
9:08
I thought they earned it quite well
9:10
because, and I'm so glad of you,
9:12
because that was like,
9:13
I was like, all right,
9:15
And it was, yeah, great, great kiss tension.
9:18
It really was, yeah.
9:19
Great, like all the little looks
9:20
and all the like, oh shit,
9:22
they're starting to feel it.
9:23
They're both starting to feel it.
9:24
Oh, it's like the body,
9:25
the instinct is taken over.
9:28
Interrupted and saved by the bell.
9:31
Well, the game of season one
9:32
is just a weird debacle of like,
9:33
you can clearly like each other.
9:36
It's got to get out of your own ways
9:40
Like we're just pretending, you know.
9:42
We're just pretending.
9:45
Oh, really good at pretending.
9:46
We're like a pretending.
9:47
We're like a pretending.
9:48
Really selling this shit.
9:49
It's like an awesome,
9:53
but this is like such a real,
9:54
there's something more real
9:55
in terms of this consequences
9:57
because there's sisters
10:00
that Aweena's going through.
10:01
Like it really feels
10:04
It feels really precarious
10:06
and like anything could go very wrong
10:08
in a number of ways any second.
10:12
And it's such high stakes
10:13
because all three of them
10:16
want to experience that love
10:18
and each and only Aweena
10:19
is like really fully open to it right now.
10:22
So that all of that
10:23
is like high stakes
10:24
because these are like three hearts
10:27
And the diamond of the season,
10:32
gatekeepers of their own families.
10:38
Lady Bridgerton was amazing
10:46
Congrats on our school buddy.
10:47
I mean, I've seen the season
10:48
for like main wallpaper images
10:50
and it's clearly season four
10:52
is going to be his season
10:54
and people have loved it.
10:55
Don't know anything specific
10:57
outside of an image I've seen
10:58
because we opened up in Netflix
11:01
like a thing you were seeing
11:02
because it was better to call it.
11:05
because I enjoyed him in season one,
11:07
I've been getting way more
11:11
It's interesting watching the series
11:13
that four will be his season.
11:16
So kind of paying more attention to him
11:18
than I probably would have
11:20
Now you're collecting the early.
11:24
I'm really enjoying it.
11:27
And, it's Penelope.
11:28
And what's going on with it?
11:29
You want an Adam De La Qua?
11:30
That's a cool team up
11:31
forming an alliance,
11:33
But even the feathering team stuff
11:35
like they found a way
11:37
That's what I mean.
11:38
This episode was fun.
11:39
This was a very fun one,
11:40
but it's the kind of drama fun
11:42
that I really enjoy
11:43
because while it's dramatic
11:44
and there's intensity to it,
11:45
there's great character be moment.
11:47
I like to see with Eloise
11:49
and Kate quite a bit too
11:51
when they're bonding
11:53
Dan Berry and Lady Bridgerton, the way they're kind of like scheming together, but then Dan
12:01
Berry and I mean, Lady Featherington, not fucking out so many people, Lady Bridgerton and Lady
12:07
Sharma, the way they're bonding with each other, there was a lot of great interactions
12:12
and what this did for Anthony, this episode, really, because I've always enjoyed him, but
12:17
they, it's actually like really like a character, but then, oh my God, I really feel like I
12:24
Yeah, they did really, this episode was so crucial for that, and maybe some of you guys already
12:31
did prior to this, but I didn't quite feel, I was like, you know what, if I mean totally
12:36
honest, I might have been some of my apprehension now that I think about it, was like, I'm
12:39
not as into Anthony as maybe this show wants me to mean so maybe I'm in a hard time
12:43
like, I like him more in the supporting role, and now I'm like, oh shit, now I'm really
12:49
fucking invested, and then having that panic moment at the end, I thought it was a great
12:54
way to get their, they're like, they put a wall up in the heart, their walls are fucking
12:59
breaking down in that moment, and they're literally touching each other's hearts, it was
13:04
a really well written and fucking exciting episode, I really love that one, that was great,
13:10
that was great, that was invigorating.
13:11
Because it's like, it's there's greater, there, not, there have been emotional depths
13:15
across the show, but this episode deftly balanced like a great amount of heartbreaking
13:21
emotional stuff with like kind of a hangout episode at points, like more so than others
13:28
in a way, especially when you're watching them play this game, and they're just kind of
13:31
out and around on the grounds and stuff, and then all the stuff with the feathering
13:35
tins, and yeah, I don't know, I think that like one thing that has gotten me increasingly
13:39
excited is, is sort of seeing now in these episodes a better sense of like what the
13:44
grander game of the show might be, which is like, yeah, each season will have different
13:50
members of the ensemble shuffling out, making room for new ones to take center stage, and
13:55
so yeah, I might have felt like, yeah, you know, like I like Jack, I like the actor whose
14:02
name I know Jonathan Bailey, Jonathan Bailey, there we go, I like Jonathan Bailey a lot,
14:06
yeah, in the first season, I'm like, cool, I thought he was going to be like a more
14:09
focal character, but he's partly ensemble great, and then yeah, here I'm like, oh, yeah,
14:13
I am now locked into this guy, get him, or at least I feel for, you know, his unique
14:19
set of baggage, and yeah, I'm looking forward to that now for other characters, potentially,
14:26
I've seen the wallpaper for season four, too, I don't know what season three is, yeah,
14:34
so, so yeah, like those things now, I'm like, oh, cool, what has hurt you, but, you
14:41
know, the idea that, yeah, we'll have these different characters who provide one function
14:48
proportionally in a season that's not all about them, we'll then take on a new shape
14:52
when the season is about them, just seems cool, yeah, cool device of the show.
14:57
Had a great time without one, really, really loved the hell out of it, thank you guys so
15:01
much for being here, and if we end up doubling up on any of them, you'll know by the notification
