Speaker 1: The Frames per Second Podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome to the Frames per Second Podcast, where
Speaker 2: we are reviewing the latest, the final season of the hit.
Speaker 3: We can still call it a hit.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4: What I think the thing was in one percent approval.
Speaker 4: That's when it first released. Yeah, so I haven't looked
Speaker 4: since then. So I just saw the headlines. So I
Speaker 4: haven't looked since Saturday.
Speaker 2: Hit FX series Hulu show The Bear Season five. We're
Speaker 2: gonna break down everything that we got from the season
Speaker 2: here today. Joining me to my rights, I have Mike
Speaker 2: c town Yo, and in front of me, I have
Speaker 2: Kenneth Byinge. Hold on, all right, guys, last season of
Speaker 2: A Bear? Were you excited about it and were your
Speaker 2: expectations meant?
Speaker 1: Can?
Speaker 3: I'll start with you.
Speaker 4: You know what, I think that there was. Was I
Speaker 4: excited about it? I can't say I was, but we're
Speaker 4: the expectations. Man, I didn't really have any going in.
Speaker 4: There were some things that I forgot that they kind of,
Speaker 4: you know, did sort of a recap within the show,
Speaker 4: and they pretty much stuck to it. So I think
Speaker 4: overall it ended about as best as it could. I
Speaker 4: think it was a satisfactory ending. So I think in
Speaker 4: terms of expectations. Yeah, yeah, overall those med because I
Speaker 4: really didn't have.
Speaker 5: Any Mike, yes and yes, yes, And I was excited
Speaker 5: and I think it. I think it closed out as
Speaker 5: well as it could have. M I mean, I was
Speaker 5: a little bit confused when it ended, but after I
Speaker 5: thought about it, I was like, Okay, I can just
Speaker 5: put two and two together and hopefully make six.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it, we'll get to it. I guess.
Speaker 3: So okay, I was.
Speaker 2: And uh, I didn't hate it, Mike, damn, but damn.
Speaker 2: I wish we had went with our original thoughts and
Speaker 2: that last episode of the previous season had just been it.
Speaker 3: I would have been more satisfied with that, with.
Speaker 5: Not knowing if Sid was gonna leave, and if not
Speaker 5: knowing if just when Richie and Sid were talking and
Speaker 5: they had the whole conversation, then Richie and Karen had
Speaker 5: the conversation and it goes up in the air.
Speaker 2: For some reason, I just feel like that was a
Speaker 2: more satisfactory And then I feel like this whole season
Speaker 2: and even the ending of this season was just kind
Speaker 2: of fan service, like they felt like.
Speaker 3: They had to do.
Speaker 2: There were no new peaks and bounds at this TV
Speaker 2: show could reach. Not saying that the stuff that they
Speaker 2: did in this season wasn't good because it was.
Speaker 3: I just feel like we've seen it before. There were
Speaker 3: no new tricks.
Speaker 1: Karm left though.
Speaker 3: I think this needed Karm. That's that was probably the problem.
Speaker 3: Like this needed Karm, but it not. It wouldn't enough.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like what I feel in love with
Speaker 2: this show was Karm being in his a d HD
Speaker 2: crazy cook bag and that made the anxiety and the
Speaker 2: feeling of the show more authentic.
Speaker 3: And it just it wasn't there for me, all right.
Speaker 5: I think, so you don't he don't want to give
Speaker 5: it to the cyst to take over the place and
Speaker 5: get it get it straight.
Speaker 2: He did fine, but that's not a TV show shows.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, but we're not going back to a show
Speaker 4: without Carm because it's done.
Speaker 3: I feel like they didn't need a season without Karm,
Speaker 3: is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We didn't have one.
Speaker 3: That's why in this season, like he would have been
Speaker 3: what that's my only thing?
Speaker 1: Yes he was.
Speaker 2: He was in every episode being calm, though he was
Speaker 2: just like docile.
Speaker 5: He was fighting, he was fighting the urge to be
Speaker 5: the whole Karm because he needed to hand it over
Speaker 5: to Sydney and then he needed to leave.
Speaker 3: Yes, that just wasn't entertaining to Damn spikes.
Speaker 1: Don't like growth. That's what it is. I guess, not
Speaker 1: because there were no you're right, you're right. I mean
Speaker 1: they make great television shows. They did, but seasons of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think we had, you know, good amounts
Speaker 4: of I think we saw a lot of growth in this.
Speaker 2: There was growth. I will agree with that. Episode one
Speaker 2: was soda a storm. I grew tired.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: So this first episode, Karmie drops a bomb. Right, this
Speaker 2: is after he drops the bomb. He's quitting.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Tina, she cooks it home with her husband Brussel spouse
Speaker 2: mill that have this beautiful conversation what you think about Michael.
Speaker 3: Now, Tina's one of your favorite characters.
Speaker 2: Opening with Tina and her husband and him just affirming
Speaker 2: her beliefs that she's doing.
Speaker 1: The right thing.
Speaker 5: I love it, man, Tina's my favorite Characterina and Marcus
Speaker 5: are probably tied, but Tina's probably my you know, Tina
Speaker 5: might edge him out a little bit just because Marcus
Speaker 5: gets on my nerves a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I like this conversation.
Speaker 5: I liked seeing I don't know the dude's real name,
Speaker 5: but a hell from Dexter. I like seeing him and
Speaker 5: I like their relationship. I like how supportive he is
Speaker 5: and it doesn't sound corny. It sounds like he genuinely
Speaker 5: loves his damn wife and he knows his wife has
Speaker 5: insecurities and she's not all the way confident in her abilities,
Speaker 5: but he wants to build her up. So I like
Speaker 5: opening it up, especially because I fuck with Brussel sprouts.
Speaker 5: So I like opening it up with Tina coming up
Speaker 5: with her own dish because out of everybody on the show,
Speaker 5: that's the one that I would not think that they
Speaker 5: would give her own dish. And to see Tina's growth
Speaker 5: from season one to now where she's coming up with
Speaker 5: what we'll get to a fucking restaurant saving dish.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: Ken, what'd you think? I don't know if we ever.
Speaker 3: I think we have, But they're married in real life?
Speaker 1: Are really? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3: You can sense you can tell.
Speaker 1: Wow. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I didn't know where it was gonna go.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 4: It was a bit of a weird start to the
Speaker 4: show without like some of the central characters, but we
Speaker 4: understood his purpose later on.
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree with you. I love the scene too.
Speaker 2: I agree with Mike and you can't starting with her
Speaker 2: letting you know the significance that she played in this season. Also,
Speaker 2: the rain plays a significant part throughout the season.
Speaker 3: The rain.
Speaker 1: Who's that?
Speaker 3: The rain? The rain?
Speaker 5: I thought, he said, Lorraine? Oh, who the fuck is Lorraine?
Speaker 5: There's no other black women on this fucking show that.
Speaker 2: You missed the Susande. I was like, that's what Karen
Speaker 2: said when she was like those people got fired.
Speaker 1: He said, that must have been Lorraine.
Speaker 5: Loren was the first one to go Jesus like, just
Speaker 5: the rain.
Speaker 1: Yes, no, Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did that really well. It's just throughout the episode.
Speaker 2: From there we go to Richie giving himself one of
Speaker 2: the most bleak pep talks that you can give, and
Speaker 2: it also goes to that Gary episode as to how
Speaker 2: Mikey was talking to him. I thought that they mended
Speaker 2: those two in together really well. Ken, what'd you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they did. They didn't overuse it.
Speaker 4: It was just like if you saw the show, you
Speaker 4: kind of got what they were talking about.
Speaker 3: You got the backstory that he referenced. But they didn't
Speaker 3: really linger on it. It was just a couple of
Speaker 3: references here there, like when he was talking to Karl
Speaker 3: later on and he was like, yeah, I hit your
Speaker 3: brother or whatever, and he was like and then he said,
Speaker 3: he said, yeah, I'm glad it was you or something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because which I guess the way I understood that,
Speaker 4: And I don't know if you have that you know so,
Speaker 4: but either way, the way I understood it is that,
Speaker 4: you know, if it was somebody else, it could have
Speaker 4: been far it would have been worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, space of his brother's personality. One agree with that.
Speaker 2: So that was good. Did y'all like Richie? Well, let
Speaker 2: me not, because we ain't got to the like part.
Speaker 2: Expectations for Richie coming into the season, especially how they
Speaker 2: opened up with him down.
Speaker 3: Would you think you go down some as a character,
Speaker 3: you go up some? As a thought?
Speaker 1: I thought he would go up some. Absolutely.
Speaker 5: I thought it was cheap how they I feel like
Speaker 5: they bullshitted us with Gary, and maybe not even intentionally.
Speaker 5: This could be all in my brain, this could all
Speaker 5: be headcannon. I thought that what they were leading us
Speaker 5: with Gary was that Richie was hurt. Yes, that accident
Speaker 5: didn't really mean anything. It didn't really mean anything except
Speaker 5: for he was a couple hours laterward.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 5: So maybe I missed the overall purpose of the wreck,
Speaker 5: but it seemed like it was cheap and it was
Speaker 5: meant to just get people to be like, oh shit,
Speaker 5: I got I gotta see the last season because what
Speaker 5: happened to Richie all that?
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no no no, it ain't
Speaker 1: shit happen you little pump ain't. On the other side,
Speaker 1: You're fine.
Speaker 2: I feel like it was just for the previews, like
Speaker 2: just the wrong for you to dive into it. I
Speaker 2: didn't get more from it from that, I'm one hundred
Speaker 2: percent of the Greece with you there. Also see it
Speaker 2: gets to the restaurant, she's starting her day. Pipes were
Speaker 2: making some crazy noise, and we're confronted with these problems
Speaker 2: that have been in the universe for the last four seasons.
Speaker 2: Pipes busting Ken was that big deal, little deal, no
Speaker 2: deal to you, what'd you think?
Speaker 4: It became frustrating over time, but I understood why it
Speaker 4: was there. I mean, you're talking about four seasons. It
Speaker 4: basically happened because they were smoking cigarettes, right, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the impression they gave you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so four seasons of that, you know, smoking cigarettes,
Speaker 4: you know, all of the stress or whatever is associated
Speaker 4: with cigarette smoking or whatever. You goes into these pipes,
Speaker 4: closet up and then everything bursting explodes.
Speaker 1: That's kind of like the premise of what we're getting
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 4: And then you have to deal with all these problems
Speaker 4: flooding onto you and exploding in different areas that have
Speaker 4: to be patched, you know. So so yeah, I think
Speaker 4: it served its purpose to give them a stress factor
Speaker 4: to overcome as the season, you know, progressed, because now
Speaker 4: you're like, okay everything as it continued to ruin stuff,
Speaker 4: You're like, okay, well, how the hell they're going to
Speaker 4: get through this. They're gonna get through that. The thing
Speaker 4: that became frustrating for me was the goddamn facts.
Speaker 2: That was the next thing on my list. One thing
Speaker 2: I will point out about the cigarettes. I liked how
Speaker 2: they did that, how we showed they throughout the all
Speaker 2: four seasons. They smoke it in that little back place,
Speaker 2: and they threw one of those cigarettes and they just
Speaker 2: brought that back, which I thought was great, And they
Speaker 2: brought the spoons back, which we'll get into if y'all
Speaker 2: remember throughout the four season they were always like even
Speaker 2: Karen's sister with the project manager what's her name, that
Speaker 2: just had to There was always this thing about they
Speaker 2: didn't have enough spoons sugar, y'all remember y'all remember that
Speaker 2: throughout the four seasons. Not I believe it was always
Speaker 2: a thing like where the fuck the spoons at? And
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: The blacking them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never without a smoon.
Speaker 1: Ain't that some ship?
Speaker 3: It was still he was hoarding again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were still in the building. That's true. That's true. Technicalities,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 2: Freaking frak man. They did a lot in this episode
Speaker 2: in this season. I didn't need the comedic relief.
Speaker 3: What do you think about it, Mike.
Speaker 1: I think you're a hater. What I like them? This
Speaker 1: shit was too much.
Speaker 5: They have been there from season one. Know if you
Speaker 5: like this show, Spider wasn't this heavy handy. I didn't
Speaker 5: really even notice them that much like they. I feel
Speaker 5: like they sidelined the really chubby one. I can't think
Speaker 5: it was named on the tattoo too, Yeah, Neil, I
Speaker 5: think it's his name. They kind of sidelined him to
Speaker 5: where he wasn't as prominent, and then the other fact
Speaker 5: that fell through the roof, I thought, all this worked, really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't. I didn't mind it. I didn't mind it.
Speaker 3: Ken, what'd you think about freaking freck.
Speaker 4: I liked them last season, I think I think what
Speaker 4: it was for me, Mike, because they got on my
Speaker 4: nerves this season they're supposed to only because shit was
Speaker 4: fucking up, and they were contributed to him going off rope,
Speaker 4: falling through the roof, hitting the damn, which I don't
Speaker 4: know what that what that meant until later.
Speaker 1: I still don't.
Speaker 4: Basically, just don't do what basically stay where you are,
Speaker 4: don't walk around through the rest of the roof, and
Speaker 4: then he end up falling through the roof. It's just
Speaker 4: their own phrase that they have for just stay on
Speaker 4: task or whatever. Because I thought that for a second.
Speaker 4: I was like, he's on a real rope, but anyway,
Speaker 4: just down. But yeah, So like when they're trying to
Speaker 4: do the rench thing and he he said no, you
Speaker 4: gotta do it, and then he hit the and broke
Speaker 4: the dam like those little things like bro come on,
Speaker 4: like this is a serious moment and y'all just won't
Speaker 4: let it go. And that's why I love how Sydney
Speaker 4: handled it, you know, as as it went on, you know,
Speaker 4: when she was said, you know, I will call you
Speaker 4: a yeah, when he didn't want to go put the
Speaker 4: tape on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I loved. I loved all of that.
Speaker 4: But I guess because of the stress of the environment
Speaker 4: and everything, we need to be fixed and hear these
Speaker 4: goofballs acting crazy and shit, it's just like, bro, can
Speaker 4: y'all be serious for one moment?
Speaker 1: They were?
Speaker 5: That's what made it good. They were said they can't
Speaker 5: help it, their fuck ups, But that that just leads
Speaker 5: we'll get to it.
Speaker 1: Obviously.
Speaker 5: That leads to a sentiment that was made in the
Speaker 5: very last episode. It explains all of this. But I
Speaker 5: like it, man, I like how Sidney, like you said,
Speaker 5: I like how Sydney handled them because when the dude
Speaker 5: was like, are y'all mad at me? And everybody else
Speaker 5: was like no, she was like, well, yeah, kind of.
Speaker 2: I love sees human throughout the season. I think she
Speaker 2: took it up a notch from a humorous stamp, just
Speaker 2: like her character, and she definitely took it up. Not
Speaker 2: that's if episode one. Episode two is entitled lam unless
Speaker 2: y'all have anything else for episodes. Episode two is LAMB.
Speaker 2: Synopsis is the flood damaged assessment. Karmie starts handing in
Speaker 2: the range over Sydney. She bands, cursing and yelling to
Speaker 2: keep order while Google order has been canceled by Jimmy.
Speaker 2: I'll stop right there. What y'all think about Jimmy this season?
Speaker 2: Did y'all cared that he was tapped? Was just an
Speaker 2: old note? They just kept playing like, did y'all get
Speaker 2: satisfaction from it? Jimmy? I feel like we knew that
Speaker 2: he was going to lose his money at the end
Speaker 2: of the last season, so.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't remember him having money issues
Speaker 1: last season.
Speaker 2: He didn't have money issues, but he had invested so
Speaker 2: much into the restaurant. If it didn't work, he would
Speaker 2: didn't have money issues.
Speaker 5: But I thought it was something else that he did
Speaker 5: that killed his income.
Speaker 1: I think was why that he he invested or did
Speaker 1: something something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was something else that happened, but I can't
Speaker 4: remember what it was, and I think they even kind
Speaker 4: of threw a line in there about it as well
Speaker 4: as far as jim Jimmy was fine.
Speaker 3: I think he was just there to add to the
Speaker 3: stress factor. Yep, he lost seventy five percent.
Speaker 1: Of his network.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that couldn't be from the restaurant because he
Speaker 5: would have killed the restaurant early, so it was something else.
Speaker 2: So Jimmy cancels the order, leaving him up shit Creek
Speaker 2: for the upcoming service. What did y'all think about the
Speaker 2: tension They're them prepping for the service, not having no order,
Speaker 2: having to think on their feet. It was it classic
Speaker 2: bear or just give you a new feeling of like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm worried enough.
Speaker 4: I think these first couple of episodes were so chaotic.
Speaker 4: Everything was happening, I'm stressed, and them not having food.
Speaker 4: I'm like, there's no way in hell they're gonna be
Speaker 4: able to get by. How are they going to do
Speaker 4: this because they have no money, they have no food,
Speaker 4: and nobody's supplying it with anything because their orders being
Speaker 4: counseled because they have debt. So I'm like, there's no
Speaker 4: way in hell they're gonna get through this evening. This
Speaker 4: thing is destined to fail, and Jimmy definitely ain't gonna
Speaker 4: give him. Can't save him anymore because he doesn't have
Speaker 4: any money. So this is a lose lose situation. And
Speaker 4: the rain is still pouring down, so that adds to it.
Speaker 4: So they were up shit screep bro.
Speaker 5: I was a little confused. I mean, obviously, I don't
Speaker 5: really know what wag you beef is. I know it's
Speaker 5: like an expensive cut or something like that. But the
Speaker 5: first thing that popped in mind, not knowing about meat,
Speaker 5: mind is could they not just go get regular beef
Speaker 5: and make whatever this dish is? I mean, if Carmei
Speaker 5: is that guy, if Sydney is that girl, if if
Speaker 5: Tina is clearly that everything, why couldn't.
Speaker 1: They just go get some regular beef?
Speaker 3: Because different?
Speaker 5: Does it taste different? Okay, that's what I wanted to
Speaker 5: get from y'all. So it literally tastes different.
Speaker 2: It supposedly has more like fat marbling to make it
Speaker 2: taste better than regular beef, so it's a higher end.
Speaker 2: They feed the cows different, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 5: So you've never had it, and kim Ass is definitely
Speaker 5: oh because you said supposedly. You said supposedly it does Okay, Okay,
Speaker 5: it tastes different, all right?
Speaker 1: If Ken hasn't had it.
Speaker 5: I imagine his son hasn't, and Jalen doesn't seem like
Speaker 5: the type that would care about something like that. So okay,
Speaker 5: so all right, I'll just I'll just go off what
Speaker 5: you were saying, Spike. I believe you, so that that
Speaker 5: answers my question. But yes, it was classic the bear.
Speaker 5: We gotta scramble, we gotta figure this out, we gotta
Speaker 5: do something different.
Speaker 1: I liked it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I liked it too. I gave something to I
Speaker 2: don't know if they ever mmm, well, they solved it.
Speaker 2: I'll save that for later. We also met Cheese, which
Speaker 2: is Computer's niete. So she gives them a full rundown
Speaker 2: of the building. Pipes are terrible, damn and everything in
Speaker 2: here is terrible, Like nobody's gonna buy this building. Break
Speaker 2: the news to Jimmy. But they do come across the
Speaker 2: airspace thing, which never really came to fruition when they
Speaker 2: were talking about the airspace.
Speaker 1: Like, did they not sell it?
Speaker 5: I know they wouldn't talk to that woman, talk to
Speaker 5: that lady, but she kicked them out and did she
Speaker 5: not agree?
Speaker 3: Told them she was trying to get more money.
Speaker 1: Introduced that.
Speaker 4: That's weird, just another problem that presented a solution that
Speaker 4: they couldn't solve.
Speaker 1: They just just the raised attention. Yeah, that's weird. I
Speaker 1: guess I just never realized they didn't.
Speaker 4: Was the whole thing about this This we don't know
Speaker 4: if it was a dog or a person that was
Speaker 4: in the in the building as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that's that's what it was.
Speaker 3: So jumping into it episode three meant a new direction.
Speaker 4: Rod.
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you because you weren't here
Speaker 2: on the first ones. But what did you think about
Speaker 2: this season of the Bear and episodes one, two, and
Speaker 2: now even three mint any things that you want to
Speaker 2: point out feelings about the season up to that point.
Speaker 1: Overall?
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, I thought it was good. I thought it
Speaker 6: was It's a strong series. I love the pacing of it.
Speaker 6: I know when we came off of the last one
Speaker 6: and we said that, we said that that that could
Speaker 6: have been an ending on the owner who said that.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it could have been because I went back
Speaker 6: and watched that last one before going into this one.
Speaker 6: It also, I didn't realize that that attached that Gary
Speaker 6: episode too, because he talked about, you know, going on
Speaker 6: that trip with Mikey. But but nah, man, I really
Speaker 6: I really like the intensity. I liked the element of
Speaker 6: the rain. I felt that brought a certain feeling to
Speaker 6: the episode.
Speaker 1: I was like, I really liked it.
Speaker 7: They kept that storm as a theme throughout the whole thing.
Speaker 7: It just kind of gave it this.
Speaker 3: This intense The rain was almost like a character. It.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the rain was almost like a character. So I
Speaker 6: was like, Oh, shoot, they're going to really keep this throughout.
Speaker 6: So I really really was feeling feeling that component, and
Speaker 6: I like how they they I think they gave everybody
Speaker 6: an ample amount of tension in this last season. It
Speaker 6: didn't feel like like other seasons how I feel like
Speaker 6: it just focused on one person or two other people.
Speaker 6: But I feel like everybody got their fairst shot of
Speaker 6: closing oh with this season.
Speaker 2: Also, before we go to three, in episode Too, Tina
Speaker 2: has this moment with Natalie. They break down about her
Speaker 2: being a mother not being there. Then she leaves out,
Speaker 2: and Tina has this moment where she's like, am I
Speaker 2: doing the right thing? Because she here dude getting set
Speaker 2: up for a new job, who's interviewing in the background,
Speaker 2: the wine guy, and she's just wondering, have I done
Speaker 2: the right thing?
Speaker 3: Mike, that's one of your favorite characters that you did.
Speaker 1: They hear for you.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm trying. I forgot about that moment to you
Speaker 5: just brought it up, and I'm trying to remember what
Speaker 5: she said. She said something like, you know, Sugar, I
Speaker 5: know you feel, you know, weird leaving your kid because
Speaker 5: your kid. All your kid wants to do is look
Speaker 5: at your face all day long. But if your face
Speaker 5: is sad because you're not doing what you love, then
Speaker 5: your kid's not gonna want to be looking at your face.
Speaker 1: So you need to beat man. Tina is I need
Speaker 1: a whole show caught up. Motherfucker, Tina. I would watch that.
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 2: Episode three is meant five hours of service. Here, Karmie
Speaker 2: is pushing Sin to announce that he's leaving. He wants
Speaker 2: to frames as mutual.
Speaker 1: To have a lie. He didn't push her to tell
Speaker 1: people she did it, but.
Speaker 3: They had a conversation prior to with him.
Speaker 5: I'm like, no, but they wanted to do it together, right,
Speaker 5: That's not what happened. They weren't ready, but they the right.
Speaker 5: That's That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You said he pushed her to tell them.
Speaker 3: No, he pushed her to for them to say it together.
Speaker 3: It's what I was getting to. You cut me off.
Speaker 4: You a lie.
Speaker 3: That was a good one.
Speaker 1: I respect it.
Speaker 2: That was good. Karmi wants to frame it together with Sydney,
Speaker 2: and Sydney they agree in there, but then in a
Speaker 2: moment of frustration when Karen gives this fake enthusiasm, well
Speaker 2: let's do it.
Speaker 3: We got this, and she's like, yeah, we got this,
Speaker 3: but you quit.
Speaker 4: That was fucked up, fucked And she didn't even say quit.
Speaker 4: She just said yeah, and so yeah, she said doing
Speaker 4: it together? Yeah right, bro, something like.
Speaker 1: No she said she said, she said, yeah, do it together.
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh I didn't hear she muffled it. That's what.
Speaker 1: I didn't even see it in the cap.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't think anybody heard it all the time.
Speaker 4: Just man, like, how did they pick that up? When
Speaker 4: Neil asked, he's like, car, you quit, It's like, damn.
Speaker 5: They were in close, like they're closer than we are
Speaker 5: really when they were talking. I mean, I can see
Speaker 5: how they heard it. But she did kind of say
Speaker 5: on the graph.
Speaker 1: But she did that a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one of her things throughout this season,
Speaker 2: like kind of talking to her. But I think it
Speaker 2: worked for it. You know what Dy'll think about this
Speaker 2: moment with her spilling the beans and calm quick the
Speaker 2: cash reacts to it. Of course cousin already knew, but
Speaker 2: he was the only one that knew what y'all think
Speaker 2: it worked.
Speaker 4: You know, it's been lingering and you know, again, not
Speaker 4: to keep reacting the same sort of thing over and
Speaker 4: over again. It's it's if it was gonna happen like this.
Speaker 4: The Bear is is the show because it fits the
Speaker 4: theme of the Bear is what I'm saying. So there's
Speaker 4: nothing ever goes according to plan. And you know, through
Speaker 4: the first couple of episodes they were not together. You know,
Speaker 4: Karen was struggling with trying to let go, relinquish, you know,
Speaker 4: hold of everything.
Speaker 1: She was struggling to assume the leadership position.
Speaker 4: She was hesitating and you know, didn't know when to
Speaker 4: make a decision, how to make a decision. People were
Speaker 4: picking up on that, but it was it was causing
Speaker 4: the issue because everybody was going to carm instead of her,
Speaker 4: so they needed to go ahead and get it out
Speaker 4: of the way. So no, I think it worked. And
Speaker 4: then after that you kind of had an order of
Speaker 4: things moving forward. So but yeah, him talking about let's
Speaker 4: fucking go, like, bro, what.
Speaker 2: That was hilarious that it was a black person response
Speaker 2: to it too, like oh, yeah, let's go, but you
Speaker 2: leave it? Did Karen's conversation with her afterwards, Mike annoy
Speaker 2: you was he white man's playing or did it work?
Speaker 2: And kind of gets Sydney into the mode that she
Speaker 2: needed to be in because he was like, you need
Speaker 2: to stop looking for me to for approval, like you're
Speaker 2: kind of second guessing yourself. And he had that conversation
Speaker 2: with her then from their own it was like, no,
Speaker 2: you know what I do got this.
Speaker 1: I didn't take it as white man's plaining. He was right.
Speaker 5: He was right, she needed to stop second guessing herself.
Speaker 5: Sidney's got it, and Carmi knows she's got it. Everybody
Speaker 5: in that restaurant knows that she has it except her.
Speaker 1: So no, I don't. I don't think that was foul
Speaker 1: that he was telling her that.
Speaker 5: And plus he's like, man, I'm trying to go, and
Speaker 5: the longer you fucking keep not doing shit, the longer.
Speaker 1: I gotta stay. I'm trying to go do something else.
Speaker 2: Yes, facts, Rob, what do you think about Sidney taking
Speaker 2: control and kind of coming into her own that you
Speaker 2: like that character.
Speaker 1: For nah did?
Speaker 6: I did like the like the kind of like the
Speaker 6: tug and pull because you could tell KARMI still had,
Speaker 6: you know, he couldn't really let go that leadership role.
Speaker 6: And although I do think you know, he wanted her
Speaker 6: to just kind of take hold of it, it was
Speaker 6: still just embedded in him. I mean, he's been in
Speaker 6: this literature role for a long time, so it uh
Speaker 6: So I like that conflict that it that it.
Speaker 1: Created, you know, And but now I do like her.
Speaker 6: I've always like, we've always known that she could probably
Speaker 6: take it over if she wanted to. She just you know,
Speaker 6: she just always just wanted a partnership, which is why
Speaker 6: you know she still wanted uh Richie to come, still
Speaker 6: want Tina to come, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 6: that's she doesn't work like Karen, which is which is
Speaker 6: a benefit, which is why Karen feels like she's better
Speaker 6: than him because he so he kind of flies solo
Speaker 6: and everybody else is just kind of you know, helpers to.
Speaker 3: Go into episode four.
Speaker 2: The end episode three with the speech being given and
Speaker 2: then fact falls through the roof, we talked about this
Speaker 2: a little before you got hit Rod, so I'll let
Speaker 2: you address it.
Speaker 3: Did you like the comedy of this season? Was it
Speaker 3: too much?
Speaker 1: It was right?
Speaker 6: I thought it was better this time around personally. I mean,
Speaker 6: I feel like it's been other seasons and episodes where
Speaker 6: it kind of gets a little too crazy.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I'm just used to the characters.
Speaker 6: Now facts us and all, like the Cousins and all
Speaker 6: that they weren't as annoying if as they've been in
Speaker 6: the future. I've kind of grown to appreciate the element
Speaker 6: that they bring to the show, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: And I think they're doing a good job with balancing
Speaker 6: who they are as characters out and I think they
Speaker 6: use them in the right times.
Speaker 1: To be that way or whatever.
Speaker 6: So and I think they're kind of supposed to be
Speaker 6: a little annoying, you know what I'm saying. They're annoying
Speaker 6: to other people and they annoying to us, But you
Speaker 6: still kind of when those moments come that hit, you
Speaker 6: love them, you know what I'm saying. So I do
Speaker 6: like the comedic element that was brought this season.

Speaker 3: Okay, Episode four is real. This is where the crew
Speaker 3: eats together.
Speaker 2: Potentially the best thing in this episode of my opinion,
Speaker 2: was Sidney reassuring Tina that you are my sue chef,
Speaker 2: you are my go to, You've been doing it this
Speaker 2: whole time, and her really leaning into that. That's the
Speaker 2: biggest thing I got from this episode. Other things that
Speaker 2: happened to crew each together, possibly last meal as a team,
Speaker 2: Karmei gets the idea to stretch that lamb into Tonado
Speaker 2: using tuna from the walk in. It saves the menu,
Speaker 2: and again Tina tells. Tina tells Sidney She'll always be
Speaker 2: her Jeff her chef for whatever it may be, episode
Speaker 2: for Ribs, anything, stick out that episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I like how they use like tuna and they gave
Speaker 6: it like this high end name, call it Albuquerque something
Speaker 6: something like.
Speaker 1: I was just like, albu Yeah, albu just another it's
Speaker 1: not it's not just another name for tuna.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. I'm with you, I'm with you.
Speaker 5: I was trying to think of when I said it
Speaker 5: out loud. I was like, Okay, I think I've heard
Speaker 5: the word albuq.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: So I did like that, and it just makes me
Speaker 6: think about some of these restaurants and how they probably
Speaker 6: try to finagle. But if you're a great if you're
Speaker 6: a great chef, you know what I'm saying, it's gonna
Speaker 6: taste amazing, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And I can't.
Speaker 6: I think we all kind of know that, but it
Speaker 6: was it's just kind of cool to see that and
Speaker 6: the integrity that still goes.
Speaker 1: Behind it.
Speaker 6: To create ate that dish, because it's still a fire
Speaker 6: dish that he made out of it, you know what
Speaker 6: I'm saying. It's just like you kind of again, we
Speaker 6: said to somewhere else, how black people can just kind
Speaker 6: of take nothing from something and make something like that it. Yeah, man,
Speaker 6: I really really enjoyed that part about it. So why
Speaker 6: couldn't they do that with the other beef?
Speaker 5: Then, well, you really think they couldn't have just made
Speaker 5: something that would have been similar. Would it have really
Speaker 5: been that big of a difference you think? I think
Speaker 5: it's just the naming thing.
Speaker 2: They couldn't have put WYG on and then people expect
Speaker 2: why from they spend one hundred and ninety dollars a plate.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's just a matter of the name. They
Speaker 1: couldn't have. But they would have had to say, okay,
Speaker 1: this isn't you with something else?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the USDA Grade B people.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would have just called that shit something that's
Speaker 7: more of an integrity thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, yeah, I wasn't saying lie, I'm just
Speaker 5: saying you something else, a different kind of beef, and
Speaker 5: just call the dish something else, just like they were
Speaker 5: doing with this. But yeah, it's not a huge gripe.
Speaker 5: I just don't understand. But it's not a huge thing.
Speaker 5: That is a fair question, though, Richie. A direct order
Speaker 5: is given by seeing call and cancel some of the
Speaker 5: the reservations. We can't do three turns.
Speaker 3: And I didn't like this.
Speaker 2: I didn't like Richie denying her direct order and just
Speaker 2: going and do his thing, feeling like, oh, we'll figure
Speaker 2: it out. Because if you had a job, that's like
Speaker 2: someone who ain't in your department being like, oh, y'all
Speaker 2: got this shit, man, and they on the front end
Speaker 2: and they ain't got to really handle the brunt of
Speaker 2: the work. I feel like that's what Richie did here. Mike,
Speaker 2: you're shaking your head.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with this?
Speaker 5: I'm nodding my head. I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: This was some bullshit and Richie should have had consequences
Speaker 5: for this. Granted it worked out, but I'm with you
Speaker 5: one hundred percent on that analogy. That's the fucking the
Speaker 5: cashier saying yes, we can turn out twelve burgers in
Speaker 5: ten minutes when you know the average is three. When
Speaker 5: all you're doing is taking the order. All you're doing
Speaker 5: is taking the order, that sitting back. That's fucked up.
Speaker 5: And the fact that Richie didn't get any consequences from
Speaker 5: that kind of bugged me. But then at the end
Speaker 5: of the day, I think that was them showing that
Speaker 5: Richie trust the team, and he pushed the team to
Speaker 5: do X y Z. So I get how it works
Speaker 5: in the end. But Sid Sid should have went the
Speaker 5: fuck off on Richie as she should have did all
Speaker 5: the way there. She should have bit him with them
Speaker 5: teeth she got. She should have took a chunk out
Speaker 5: his arm.
Speaker 3: Ken did. What did you think about Richie just directly
Speaker 3: disobeyed go ahead.
Speaker 6: I don't know if I fully agree with y'all. I mean,
Speaker 6: because aren't they equal partners? Yeah, but he front of
Speaker 6: the house. I'm back of the house, right, So if
Speaker 6: he's front of the house, that you got a conflict here, right,
Speaker 6: because it's like, okay, yeah you have they have They
Speaker 6: have the back of the house and have the front
Speaker 6: of the house. So y'all have to find some sort
Speaker 6: of compromise, I think at some point, because if he
Speaker 6: feels like he can make this work, create tables like
Speaker 6: we saw he was doing. Granted, we know they ain't
Speaker 6: have enough food, per se, they did that that didn't
Speaker 6: have enough food. They didn't have no issue that is
Speaker 6: that is really the issue. But I'm trying to figure
Speaker 6: out why would he Because it's.
Speaker 1: Richie, he really knew they needed the money, Prince.
Speaker 4: It wasn't It wasn't the money issue. He was listening
Speaker 4: to their stories and couldn't say no.
Speaker 1: Is that really what it was? But all because he
Speaker 1: didn't cancel any of them, remember, I know, maybe he
Speaker 1: stopped after the first two.
Speaker 6: I thought, so, maybe I was a little bit a
Speaker 6: little confused here, like like as far as like food
Speaker 6: for versus people coming or whatever, I thought that they did.
Speaker 1: They couldn't. They couldn't.
Speaker 6: It was more so about the reservations, right, what is
Speaker 6: the three round three times or whatever they call it.
Speaker 6: I thought it was more because they had this time
Speaker 6: reserved people was coming late. It's like, yo, there's no
Speaker 6: way we can get these people out of seats. It
Speaker 6: was all of which, that's what I was saying. So
Speaker 6: I think in his mind, he's just like, look, I
Speaker 6: could turn this around. I can get those folks out
Speaker 6: of these seats. I can create more tables, and we
Speaker 6: can get this food to these people. Because their whole
Speaker 6: thing was about reservation in the time you have to
Speaker 6: wait or whatever. So I thought it was more so
Speaker 6: about him thinking that he can get people in and
Speaker 6: out of there on time.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it had anything to do with the
Speaker 1: food in a moment, it did.
Speaker 4: Though, Yeah, it was it was the food. And then
Speaker 4: they had more reservations than they planned for because the
Speaker 4: app was growing up, and then they had a bunch
Speaker 4: of extral reservation come through.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, just from watching the stupid ass cooking shows,
Speaker 5: they always like get more food than they actually have
Speaker 5: to serve because they have to taste it and all that,
Speaker 5: And I think that's why they ended up at the
Speaker 5: very end, they were just like, we have just enough
Speaker 5: to make this work. But then they ran out and
Speaker 5: KRMEI had to make that other dish. So now what
Speaker 5: Richie did with some bullshit, I get your point of
Speaker 5: He knew he could turn around the front, but you
Speaker 5: don't know if we could turn around the back, and
Speaker 5: you did not come back and verify that with us.
Speaker 5: So if we're equal partners, you can't just make that
Speaker 5: kind of decision and then not say anything. And he
Speaker 5: barely turned around the front, That's that's true. He went
Speaker 5: in and got a fucking poker table. So now you
Speaker 5: over here having people hanging one hundred and something dollars
Speaker 5: for me on there, eating on a fucking poker table.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I like some of the stuff he was doing.
Speaker 6: I know you said he was annoyed by this, but
Speaker 6: I even liked like the party that they created outside
Speaker 6: that was cool, like like you know, and and that's
Speaker 6: why I say we were talking about the cousins or whatever.
Speaker 6: I felt like they worked here. They were in their element,
Speaker 6: they were in their mold right there. That that was
Speaker 6: a perfect personality trait for that party that was going
Speaker 6: on outside. They're probably the only ones that could have
Speaker 6: pulled that off.
Speaker 1: So I really like.
Speaker 6: How creative Richie was being on the in the front
Speaker 6: of the house. I feel like that was just impactful.
Speaker 6: That's how creative they are in the back of the house,
Speaker 6: and I thought they displayed that really well in this
Speaker 6: in this particular episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Spike, I don't know, I feel like him even
Speaker 2: the time. I ain't that annoyed by freaking Frank. It's fine,
Speaker 2: Like that's where I was playing. You kind of got
Speaker 2: used to him. I feel like they were supposed to
Speaker 2: be as annoyed as so I agree with y'all. Rich
Speaker 2: she was on some boards shit, and not even like
Speaker 2: he didn't even let nobody know that. Somebody had to
Speaker 2: ask him, like, did you cancel and he was like.
Speaker 3: Nah, he's canceled.
Speaker 1: What are you crazy that?
Speaker 2: That was just insane to me. But I also went
Speaker 2: to how good that Richie has. Richie has belief in
Speaker 2: his himself at his job.
Speaker 1: I can do this.
Speaker 3: I can do this with the best of him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if I can do it on my end,
Speaker 2: then I have the same Like what you were saying,
Speaker 2: how people look at Sydney.
Speaker 3: He's looking at her like, no, you can do it.
Speaker 5: But I think Richie has the same problem Sidny does.
Speaker 5: I think this was this was him pretend confident. I
Speaker 5: think he wants to prove himself because I think Richie
Speaker 5: from season one has imposter syndrome.
Speaker 1: He doesn't think he deserves to be there.
Speaker 5: Fact, that's why the season started off that way with
Speaker 5: him fucking talking shit to himself in the mirror. I
Speaker 5: think this whole thing was about Richie and Richie trying.
Speaker 1: To prove himself.
Speaker 3: And then again you go back to Gary and how
Speaker 3: Mike he's talking to him, Oh yeah, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: You're gonna fuck this up. You're gonna make say it
Speaker 1: like that was really.
Speaker 3: Good scene in that too.
Speaker 6: No, Now, I really like Richie's character, like, like even
Speaker 6: like what you were just saying, like the whole impost syndrome.
Speaker 6: Even when he like he's like table, you know, he
Speaker 6: has to kind of ground himself to let him know
Speaker 6: like he's present.
Speaker 1: I like how they they depict that with him too.
Speaker 2: All Right, So let's get into Raspberries, which is episode five,
Speaker 2: and I know we got to get wrap this off,
Speaker 2: but go ahead.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you what pissed you off before
Speaker 3: I get into mind.
Speaker 1: I don't like iron I mean, I like that they
Speaker 1: made Marcus cave.
Speaker 5: I just didn't like that we didn't get to sit
Speaker 5: in it for very long because Marcus is the only
Speaker 5: done this one other time, and that's when he went
Speaker 5: off because I think he had a little crush on
Speaker 5: Sydney and that didn't really know the way he wanted to,
Speaker 5: so he kind of had a little meltdown.
Speaker 1: Marcus is usually the cool, calm, collected one, so to.
Speaker 5: See him bust off like this and try to fight
Speaker 5: will Polter that tracks it it, Luca, Luca, Yeah, it does,
Speaker 5: he did.
Speaker 1: That's not the part I'm questioning.
Speaker 5: The um questioning is it went too fast someone that
Speaker 5: that bugs out like that. I would have liked the
Speaker 5: show to sit in it just for a little bit longer.
Speaker 5: But they made up very fast.
Speaker 1: That's all it was.
Speaker 5: Again, it's not a huge ripe, but it's like, we
Speaker 5: haven't seen this much. And if this was Carbi going
Speaker 5: off and y'all made up in the same episode, fine,
Speaker 5: But Marcus goes off and tries to fight Luca and
Speaker 5: then it's like five minutes later, Oh yeah, man, look man,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I love you, dude. Lets let us let
Speaker 5: us sit in this moment, this uncomfortable moment for.
Speaker 4: A minute and uh and carme catch it astray for
Speaker 4: nodawn reason from I don't think he was like I
Speaker 4: ain't gonna sit here and be miserable with this place
Speaker 4: like Karmie or something like that.
Speaker 1: He did. He never apologized for that ship. I know
Speaker 1: he that was kind of dirty, man, but they all
Speaker 1: kind of let it go.
Speaker 4: Here's here's what I say about that moment, because I
Speaker 4: do agree that definitely could have added to the show.
Speaker 1: But sometimes you realize, damn, I just fucked up. I know.
Speaker 1: I think that's what he was with it, and I
Speaker 1: think it.
Speaker 4: Was because he has a kind of you know, walk
Speaker 4: back and we're like, damn, I really fucked this shit up,
Speaker 4: and just like, all right, you know what, bro I
Speaker 4: fucked up.
Speaker 1: I went too far, and you know, they just kind
Speaker 1: of let it go.
Speaker 2: Give me an episode though. So was all in the
Speaker 2: attention from him just saying that he was leaving what
Speaker 2: is yes, and his dad.
Speaker 5: His dad coming, his mom not being able to be there,
Speaker 5: the fact that he only invited his dad because his
Speaker 5: mom is gone and he feels like he needs a parent,
Speaker 5: and then Luca bounced on him and one of his
Speaker 5: other mentors, Carmei is leaving, So his two mentors are leaving,
Speaker 5: and he's still he doesn't feel good enough. This is
Speaker 5: everybody on the fucking show. None of them feel good enough.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think it was all of that, and
Speaker 5: he just unloaded on my man, Luca. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 5: like that was like but I felt like, who calmed him?
Speaker 1: Now? I don't remember.
Speaker 6: What I said, So yeah, I feel like Sidney was like,
Speaker 6: how what'sn't uh? What's the name is with the hope? Yeah,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. I felt like she was
Speaker 6: able to like really calm him.
Speaker 1: Down in that moment. The Son's going down market.
Speaker 5: Feel like that was I did, like all of this though,
Speaker 5: I just I wish this would have happened at the
Speaker 5: end of the episode, and then the next episode is
Speaker 5: when it's not a big deal. I still Marcus is
Speaker 5: still my second favorite person on the show. Because of this,
Speaker 5: he got pissed off. He walked away. It took a
Speaker 5: two minute conversation. He's like, yep, I fucked up. I
Speaker 5: shouldn't have lost my cool. Let me go apologize to Luca,
Speaker 5: because Luca did not deserve any of that.
Speaker 1: Straight, like you said, he was catching and Tina.
Speaker 7: He's like, yeah, Tina got straight. It was like they
Speaker 7: was joking about how strong Tina was.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 5: That was That was funny because I don't think I
Speaker 5: remember Tina even being in there, but I guess Tina
Speaker 5: pushed him off.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't fuck with Tina.
Speaker 3: All right. So that was a episode episode five that
Speaker 3: he wanted the raspberries there, wanted him to go get them.
Speaker 1: I didn't like how you talked to Luca in the rain.
Speaker 5: The fight would have happened there. Yeah, you're talking to Britain, motherfucker.
Speaker 5: You talk to me like that funk wrong with you?
Speaker 3: Chap. Then his roommate the other guy ended up wanting
Speaker 3: to get.
Speaker 1: The rest got him. You saw how Mars was talking ship.
Speaker 1: That was funny, all right.
Speaker 2: Episode six is I don't know how to say this
Speaker 2: for for Sika, f O C I C C I
Speaker 2: A fakasha for Kasha got it?
Speaker 3: Thank you to say it like that, my bast fight.
Speaker 3: This is just a logistics episode.
Speaker 2: Basically, it's ninety minutes per table to see everyone and
Speaker 2: you get the tension mounted up as a reservation stack up.
Speaker 2: And it reminded me of the receipts episode where the
Speaker 2: thing kept rolling off and it kept getting more receipts
Speaker 2: and you see them in their element, and this is
Speaker 2: one of the episodes it does give you the original
Speaker 2: feeling of the bear that y'all like it, loved it,
Speaker 2: loved it?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: We want seven and eight. We can kind of combine
Speaker 2: these in together. Seven is Carmel a hard service. So
Speaker 2: this is the big one, full service chaos. They have
Speaker 2: a missioning inspectors in the building, a pot boys over
Speaker 2: killed the little burner. What else could go wrong? Karmie
Speaker 2: drops a plate, has a panic attack. What did y'all
Speaker 2: think about that? I thought that it was great.
Speaker 1: He dropped the plate because of a panic attack.
Speaker 2: No, he just put the light flicker. The light flicker,
Speaker 2: that was one thing. And then after that he had
Speaker 2: a panic attack missed.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was thought he freaked out.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, did the panic attack cause him
Speaker 1: to drop the plate?
Speaker 5: Okay, that's what I thought you'll over saying he had
Speaker 5: after Yes, yes, I thought you were saying the panic
Speaker 5: attack made him drop the plate.
Speaker 1: Taylor, Yeah, after that's what. Yeah, he couldn't even like
Speaker 1: there was a people panic. That was definitely a panic attack. Okay.
Speaker 1: I thought he was just like Richie.
Speaker 2: Had one earlier and he was in a freezer, in
Speaker 2: a freezer doing anything. And I think that was a
Speaker 2: good scene too.
Speaker 5: It was, yeah, they're they're they're portraying panic attacks in
Speaker 5: a more realistic tone. I think in movies were used
Speaker 5: to panic attacks and be like the panic attack could
Speaker 5: really just be like, oh might freeze.
Speaker 6: He just like he was literally like I thought it
Speaker 6: was the way they shot it. No, No, the shot
Speaker 6: I mean them him dropping the plate was how they
Speaker 6: shot it. But then like afterwards.
Speaker 5: Blurred around him said he's like I ruined everything, I
Speaker 5: ruined every and Richie that he did. Panic attacks aren't
Speaker 5: necessarily because something is false. He did, but it was
Speaker 5: a panic attack because he was just like, I don't
Speaker 5: know what to do. I don't I can't move, I
Speaker 5: can't even direct. This is another reason why he has
Speaker 5: to go and he's leaving it to Sydney.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because out of all people in there, who never
Speaker 4: would have packed him for dropping the play. But you
Speaker 4: know what, what I loved about this though, was Richie.
Speaker 4: They have grown so much, Richie. That would have been
Speaker 4: a fight.
Speaker 1: Fact. Did I forget something? Did they make up in
Speaker 1: the last season? What do you mean now? The kind
Speaker 1: of just left it as is, so we just never
Speaker 1: saw them kind of okay, it's kind of they made up.

Speaker 2: Also in this, Sydney was crying alone in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Richie walked in. He asked, what we do tomorrow? She says,
Speaker 2: we do the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. That was crazy.
Speaker 7: I was just thinking, like, they gotta do this tomorrow
Speaker 7: with no food.
Speaker 1: Ain't no food?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they thriving chaos, which is part of what
Speaker 3: they were talking about.
Speaker 2: Tina said that she's like I never felt like more
Speaker 2: alive and I had to I couldn't even.
Speaker 1: Go to sleep because they had me stressed. The whole
Speaker 1: ass damn.
Speaker 4: Like once they started serving and people started coming in, bro,
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know how the hell they're
Speaker 4: gonna make it. And then when Neil walked his ass
Speaker 4: over there to the minchling man, he.
Speaker 1: Kept standing like this. I was like, it's over autist,
Speaker 1: you know. That was good.
Speaker 3: I like how they the three was looking like hold on,
Speaker 3: wait all and.
Speaker 1: Then the story of his tattoos, like like, I thought
Speaker 1: that was that was dope, and.
Speaker 2: Dude saying so he's like, you never meet no one
Speaker 2: like that in miss setting, and I thought that was
Speaker 2: really good. Like what like Neil he was talking about
Speaker 2: the guy that was Neil wash want his tattoos? Who
Speaker 2: that was with the weather man? And he was like,
Speaker 2: you just won't run into that type of the just
Speaker 2: regular people.
Speaker 5: But like almost every every shot I meet these days
Speaker 5: just covered in tattoos.
Speaker 1: I think it was just the way he was tattoos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just his personality because we were saying, yeah, you
Speaker 3: ever had a banana blit so good that of yours
Speaker 3: feel like you fucked the shout out of banana something
Speaker 3: I have already said it. But uh, I also saw
Speaker 3: read that that was a real weather man from Chicago.
Speaker 1: Yeah that guy. Yeah, so cameo.
Speaker 2: Also, they got their two Michelin stars. Karen had been
Speaker 2: duck in that unknown call the whole episode. They get
Speaker 2: the two Michelin stars karm and see it get to
Speaker 2: Rejoice beyond.
Speaker 1: That almost got me here, Bro, I'm like, damn, this
Speaker 1: was good. Okay, it was.
Speaker 6: It was a good moment, just when she went off
Speaker 6: and came back. And yeah, I like how they toy
Speaker 6: with with like whether they were going to be like
Speaker 6: a romantic type of situation, because because even when they
Speaker 6: pulled back like this and they came back in, they
Speaker 6: just yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Saw that, And that was kind of connected to the
Speaker 3: conversation Jamie Lee Curtis was having.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, well, there are theories.
Speaker 4: But the theories were about us, not exactly about the
Speaker 4: people watching the show and not people act.
Speaker 5: I didn't think anybody actually thought that. Oh no, I
Speaker 5: think we thought there was gonna be a romantic the viewers.
Speaker 1: Viewers.
Speaker 5: Yes, I can't believe any of the viewers would think
Speaker 5: past season one there was anything romantic with the You
Speaker 5: never thought it was absolutely I did, maybe, but this season, no,
Speaker 5: if they kissed this, this would have been a different time.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. No, No, I think they did.
Speaker 6: They made the best decision, don't get me wrong, But
Speaker 6: I do think they were toying with with like they said,
Speaker 6: the theories that were out there, whether they were gonna
Speaker 6: I mean, because all these shows kind of end like that,
Speaker 6: like where two people kind of get together at the end.
Speaker 6: It's been so much tension leading up to the end.
Speaker 6: Like yeah, but I'm glad they didn't go that route.
Speaker 6: I'm glad they just kept a strictly platonic friends like partnership.
Speaker 2: It felt like, yeah, she told me you always had
Speaker 2: a place in the restaurant if you wanted, which was
Speaker 2: I feel like it was cutting onions. Bitch, that's not
Speaker 2: even that under fracks he said. Damn, he could be
Speaker 2: like a mentor tea all right. The last episode the
Speaker 2: original Beef of Chicago Land. This is essentially a wrap
Speaker 2: up episode. The morning after successful service they made payroll
Speaker 2: no savings. Ebro finally pitches Karmee on franchise and the
Speaker 2: beef Sandwich, which he loves it. Boom, They're going to
Speaker 2: do the franchise. Jimmy and karme cleared the air with
Speaker 2: each other. He tells karme how it really feels about
Speaker 2: his gifts and not being I thought that was a
Speaker 2: really good scene in what he said his family was
Speaker 2: full of quitters and they quitted everything, and I was
Speaker 2: just wanting you to continue, even if your uncle's mad
Speaker 2: at you, even if you're losing money, like, continue doing
Speaker 2: what you love and I Richie told him, you can't.
Speaker 3: I can't do that.
Speaker 1: He quit too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I thought that was a really good scene.
Speaker 3: To y'all and feedback on that scene. I like it
Speaker 3: what Ebra said every time about the blue Eyes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he was like, I'm not going to be
Speaker 2: intimidated by your Richie gets invited to a hospitality seminar
Speaker 2: in Japan. He can't fathom doing it. This is when
Speaker 2: he has his panic attack and karm Me kind of
Speaker 2: talks down, letting him know that, like, you deserved it.
Speaker 2: You've been in this mold, this lane for however, since
Speaker 2: the Napkins episode a while ago, and you deserved this.
Speaker 2: And I think he did a good job. Did y'all
Speaker 2: take anything from that conversation in the freezer with Richie
Speaker 2: and carm.
Speaker 1: This was good.
Speaker 5: I especially like how he pretended that the door was stuck.
Speaker 5: That was really it seems like a lot of yourself
Speaker 5: was pro It did seem like it was doing that
Speaker 5: off the like cu.
Speaker 1: He was like, I still got it. I still got
Speaker 1: it with girl touched. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we all saw that one coming. Who did
Speaker 3: Who was the uncle asked call me about? Could he date?
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you. He wasn't talking about who
Speaker 1: ame on his mama? Was he?
Speaker 5: Why would he be wait, wait, wait minutes, that's his
Speaker 5: uncle on his I think I don't think it's like
Speaker 5: it ain't real. Oh it's a plate uncle. Oh that's
Speaker 5: not that big. Okay, I thought that was his blood uncle.
Speaker 5: I was like, wait a minute, what I thought.
Speaker 7: Cousins and uncles they're not really some of them aren't
Speaker 7: really cousins and I but I.
Speaker 5: Didn't get it with uncle. I didn't get it with
Speaker 5: that guy. I thought that was really his uncle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I didn't either until they kind of said it. I
Speaker 6: was just like, okay, yeah, because I thought it was
Speaker 6: just real uncle too.
Speaker 3: I didn't know who he was.
Speaker 1: He was trying. Really, it's like Richie's a real cousin.
Speaker 1: No Richie.
Speaker 5: I knew that because it's complicated exactly. But in Boston,
Speaker 5: cousin is, but I've never heard them just.
Speaker 1: Be like uncle uncle.
Speaker 6: But we do it all the time auntie uncle, and
Speaker 6: they're not aunties and uncles.
Speaker 3: Italians do it too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm talking about black say oh, that's your auntie
Speaker 7: to be their best friend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the Asians that first game cross, so
Speaker 3: I think it's more so like that.
Speaker 2: All Right, Karma decides to go richie and just get
Speaker 2: together for real and she joins him in the Japan trip.
Speaker 3: That y'all like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. I thought that was good. That was
Speaker 1: really good, and.
Speaker 3: That's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: I like the surprise birthday that was birthday's party for
Speaker 3: the child was really good.
Speaker 1: And that was a good way to end the show.
Speaker 1: Everybody was, their family was there. That was good.
Speaker 3: I didn't like the karm interviewing for a new job.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I didn't either.
Speaker 1: That didn't put an architect. Yeah, it was weird. He
Speaker 1: didn't get that job. No, we saw him later on.
Speaker 1: He was looking at something went on the call.
Speaker 6: I think he's went on a response maybe I don't
Speaker 6: know from I couldn't tell, y'all, y'a couldn't tell who
Speaker 6: he was to take some I couldn't tell, but I
Speaker 6: know that's crazy.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 4: I thought it was going to be one of those
Speaker 4: classic TV moments where he's going to tell her about,
Speaker 4: you know, this whole place, and he's gonna realize, oh
Speaker 4: my god, I really love it.
Speaker 3: I need to go back, And I love that he
Speaker 3: didn't go back. Yeah, yeah, so that was that was dope.
Speaker 1: That's why I thought they stuck to it.
Speaker 7: I do think they left a little open ended, though
Speaker 7: they did.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 3: I think they definitely would do something else with this
Speaker 3: franchise at some point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they bet not. I think they left no. I
Speaker 1: think we're good. But I don't think they need to
Speaker 1: do anything else.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: You know, I think that they left it open ended.
Speaker 5: But I think they made it pretty clear that Karm
Speaker 5: is leaving period. He's going somewhere else, whether he becomes
Speaker 5: an architect at that woman's place or whether he finds
Speaker 5: something else.
Speaker 1: He's going to go somewhere. But like Sidney asked him, like,
Speaker 1: do you have any other skills?
Speaker 5: But the fact that they showed his mom showing his
Speaker 5: drawing book, so he's gonna do something.
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll come back to the restaurant in twenty years.
Speaker 1: Who knows, but I don't need to see it. I
Speaker 1: think the show is.
Speaker 5: I think this was as perfect as an ending as
Speaker 5: they could have given us, even with the fade to
Speaker 5: black and the people still talking.
Speaker 1: I just think it was perfect.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because you still couldn't quite let go. You still
Speaker 7: wanted to kind of.
Speaker 1: Right, you just sat in it. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 4: I listened to yeah, yeah, and I liked how like
Speaker 4: everything got better once the rain stopped, so the rain
Speaker 4: was there, and then when the rain went out, then
Speaker 4: everything kind of started to smooth out and things got better,
Speaker 4: kind of like what you were talking about earlier. And
Speaker 4: the only other thing I got that I can remember
Speaker 4: is that they were getting them my fucking nerves and
Speaker 4: them small ass place brou that food. Bro, I'm like,
Speaker 4: what the hell? I would have been mad as hell
Speaker 4: they rolled that shit out and I'm paying one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: But then I was like, what the fuck is Then
Speaker 4: I realized that they didn't have any food, so I
Speaker 4: had to cut the portion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they selling experience too.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. I want food. But you know those elevated
Speaker 1: restaurants like that, Yeah, I've had one, and that's that's
Speaker 1: why it comes from it. Even like.
Speaker 3: Ship you know, like well you know that's how they
Speaker 3: do it. I was like, nah, man, let me go
Speaker 3: to you get several courses though, that doesn't matter. Bro,
Speaker 3: they have a problem with can.
Speaker 1: That's some bullship. I flipped that table. It was. It
Speaker 1: was looked good as hell though, and it was. It
Speaker 1: was definitely that short short. I thought that was pretty
Speaker 1: healthy healthy. I thought that one was. I thought that
Speaker 1: lying your big ass, you a lion of half. Don't
Speaker 1: eat that little that one was.
Speaker 6: I mean, it reminded me of like like like a
Speaker 6: nice size sirloin or something like that. One that was
Speaker 6: small your ass zoomed in.
Speaker 1: That was now that shrimp when that that is?
Speaker 8: That was?
Speaker 1: That was crazy shrimp tail. That's it? What the something
