Yeah, to get into it for the 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.200 first time, which is very exciting. Uh huh. So everyone, 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.480 we have Tyler McCall here back to do the rewatch 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.160 of season two episode seventeen, Carnal Knowledge, which is based 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.320 on the nineteen seventy one film starring Jack Nicholson and 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:53.520 Candice virgin Bergen Bergan Bergen. Okay, amazing. I have not 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.600 seen that film, so I should probably check that out. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:02.840 So also, okay, this episode, this episode really stuck out 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.000 to me in a way. Yeah, this was a really 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.760 wild episode for me. I mean it's a really it's 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:15.040 a really wild episode. I mean it is um. Like Also, 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:19.680 even when the episode begins, like Blair just wearing the 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:24.000 red jacket while she's doing like is a community service, Like, 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.320 I'm like, you look fierce girl, fierce, And I have 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.320 a question for you. It's a fan question that came 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:35.600 in if you were doing community service, what would you wear? 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.920 And what would Vanessa wear? And what do you think 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.000 Serena would wear? So I mean, realistically, I would end 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:49.559 up wearing just my normal like girlfriend collective sweatpants, activewear 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.040 because I'm just too practical. I wish I could say 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.680 that I would do something really fun, um, but I wouldn't. Uh, 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.200 But I like that, like for something like that, I 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.600 think practical and kind of hitting it on the nose 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.760 of what it is, I think works in that, you 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.360 know what I mean? Yeah, it feels more appropriate, it 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.840 feels right. Sure, Yeah, what was Vanessa Air? I feel 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.800 like Vanessa Okay, so Vanessa had like a really cool 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:19.920 sneaker collection. I feel yeah, so I feel like like 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.520 a cool gene with like one of her really cool 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.359 pairs of sneakers and like a really interesting jacket. Like 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.360 I feel like it would be practical but still fun, right, 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.839 I agree, Serena would be like full Naomi Campbell wearing 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.640 Dulce and Gabana to do community so you know, it 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.800 would be like legs out hair tease, like it would 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.599 be a full on moment. For sure, it's the moment, 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.080 But do you also feel like it's like fitting for it, 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.960 but like extra, Like it's definitely like you can move 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.160 and do community service in it, but it's extra because 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:57.480 it's Serena exactly. Yeah, it costs but thousand dollars, but yeah, 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.960 but it works. Yeah, okay, well I like that. But also, 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:07.480 speaking of fashion, you have recently left Fashionista and now 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.960 you're a freelance writer. Yeah. I said that is a 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:16.520 question when I knew that, Um, well, that's awesome. How 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.559 are you feeling good about that? I feel like change 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.719 is always a little bit like scary, but in a 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.559 good way, because we're like it's definitely a little scary. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.360 I mean, I was at fashionis staff for ten years 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.680 a little bit over ten years total, and I love 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.240 the team, I love the site. It just felt like 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.320 it was time to try something new. So I'll still 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.000 be writing about fashion. Um, I'm not going super far. 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.160 I just wanted to do more writing and hopefully branching 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.000 out a little bit more into like celebrity and pop 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.400 culture writing. UM. I have a couple of personal projects 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.920 I wanted to start working on. Um. But I'm really excited. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.080 That's awesome. I'm excited for you. I think you did 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.640 such a great, wonderful job there. Um. But I do know, 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.400 like yeah, shifting into something or adding something new, or 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.040 taking what you're doing and putting it out there somewhere 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.680 else is always exciting and fun. But like change again, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.360 like I said before, even if it's a great thing, 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.320 is always a little bit um scary. But I think 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:17.560 that's a good thing. So I think that's awesome. Girl. Thanks, Yeah, yeah, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.680 you'll be. I'm not worried about you, not one bit. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.760 Thank you. Um Yeah, Okay, so let's dive in. Here's 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.960 where we left off. Blair found out that she was 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.719 waitlisted at Yale, while Serena was accepted, Blair decided to 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.159 get revenge on the new teacher who gave her a bee, 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.640 and Chuck teamed up with Lily to save Bass Industries 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.800 from Uncle Jack. Miss Carr exposed Blair's plotting and got 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:46.600 her expelled from Constance. Ms Car. Okay, you're all right, anyone, 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.240 when anyone wants to like line up with Blair, I'm 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.240 like a careful girl. Um. And then here's the episode 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.960 we're going into. In retaliation for not playing by the 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.839 unspoken rules of Constance Billard, Blair hatches a plan to 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.240 bring down her teacher Rachel. After Chuck wakes up in 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.400 a hotel and only has a minor recollection of what 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.640 happened the previous evening, Nat and Vanessa try to help 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.160 him fill in the missing pieces. Meanwhile, there's a lot 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.240 going on with Dan and Rachel, and that's where we 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:23.160 are for this episode. So this episode is so wild, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.720 and we know that Blair is given to tention last 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.880 time from for hazing Miss Car. So the episode starts 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.200 with her like we were just talking about picking up 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.320 trash in the park, so well her having to Rota 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.280 pickup trash and park. That's what we're getting to but 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.440 also it's it's Central Park and she's in like a 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.320 beautiful red like is it was it a pea coat? 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.239 Like yeah, I mean she looks fierce, she looks amazing. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.680 The color is just like popping in beautiful and wonderful. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.520 And then yes, we cut to she literally has de 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.360 Roda doing it and it's just talking on the phone 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:02.160 to Serena. Yeah, I mean talk about not learning a lesson, 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.840 talk about like she does not give two ships, not 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:11.600 not even remotely. No. I always wondered, like de Rota 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.760 puts off with so much. I mean, and I love Dorota, 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.680 but she puts up so much from Blair, Like can 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.720 you imagine it's not your job to pick up trash 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:25.040 because your charge has detention or whatever, you know, not 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.200 at all, and she like does it. And and the 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.240 cutest thing about de Roda she she loves Blair so 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.520 much and has such a big heart for her, so 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.160 she she does these things with and for her from 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.680 a good, great place. And I also think deep down 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.160 Blair really loves and respects de Roda as well. But 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.400 she just knows that she kind of can be bossy 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.240 because de Rota allows it, not that she can that's 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:55.040 actually not it's not right because de Roda kind of 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:59.680 like goes with it. She Blair gets away with it exactly. Yeah, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.120 and then her you know, when her dad comes, which, 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.880 by the way, I didn't realize this is the last 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.840 time we see him until season five. Wait really yeah? 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.080 Oh that, I mean, that makes a lot of sense. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:15.080 But im Harold. I love Harold totally. He's just so cute. 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.480 And that dog handsome I mean, I mean, and we 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:24.280 never see Handsome again. I know right now, I know 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.600 I want to Handsome spinoff. Do you have a dog, 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.120 by the way, No, we just have a cat. Well 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.960 that acts like a dog. But um, how long have 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.120 you had the cat? We've had her so sam my 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.080 husband adopted her before we started dating. So uh I 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.160 think nine years now, Oh my god, yeah, which apparently 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.199 is elderly for cats. I didn't realize. Yeah, that's what 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.320 her vets said. That's which is crazy to me because 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.680 she's going to live another twenty years. Oh my god. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:58.480 If he asked me, um, well, I just this dog 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.600 pops up on the screen and I get like super excited, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.839 and then you kind of forget about the dog because 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.760 it's just so like sporadic. But yeah, I think you're right. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.600 I don't think we see Handsome for ever ever again. Yeah, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.040 he just disappears to France with Harold and never to 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.240 be seen or heard from again. I mean he just 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.560 goes like Handsome goes to France with Harold. I love that. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.760 That's like a spinoff show in itself. I know it 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.240 would be so cute, like a little animated series or something. Right, 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.200 Oh my god. Anyways, Okay, so now Blairs having to 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.800 do this so that she can get back on track 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.440 with school and with getting back into Yale. I mean, 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.480 I'm talking about doing the community service because she keeps 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.440 just kind of I don't want to say, barking up 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.480 the wrong tree. But sometimes it's like what you're saying, 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.600 like she's not learning her lesson, she can't get out 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.240 of her own way. Yes, yes, yeah, that she should 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.560 just leave it alone because she has what she wants. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:58.000 But she won't. No, she will not. We know that. 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.559 How about first, when she goes up to the girls, 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.240 she's like, I made friends with the family of squirrels, 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:08.080 Like I'm just like girl I was, because I'm also 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.560 picturing Blair like sitting in Central Park like talking to 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.960 a squirrel, like yeah, and it's funny because it's like 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.360 we know that she likes to go and feed the ducks. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:21.360 It's just it's such a funny situation to put her in. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.959 It's totally the five am detention or whatever. Yeah, it's 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.800 it's too much, Okay. So we then go to Dan 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.520 and Miss Carr are hanging out and Dan has been 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.679 showing Miss car his stories at the coffee shop before school, 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.679 and she's like very into them. Um. They bond over 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.360 being outsiders compared to the students at Constant who are 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:48.880 very rich and self absorbed. Um. And then in walks 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.960 Serena and it's like, oh, you two, you guys are 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.760 hanging out, and Miss Carr says Dan is an excellent writer. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.720 When Serena walks in here, I mean she doesn't expect 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.880 to see them. But also that's it's an awkward thing 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.520 because it's their teacher. It's so weird. It's odd. It's odd, 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:12.200 it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, like it is, I mean the 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.120 conversation if that was like outside of the school where 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.920 people that you are all around and work with, and 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.000 it's your other students and friends are around you know 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.480 what I mean, It just doesn't feel as inappropriate. But 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.640 because you guys are like by yourselves outside of school, 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.679 off the school grounds, it seems weird, do you know 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.760 what I mean. It's not like they're in its horrible 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.680 conversation about like what she looks in her under like 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.600 looks like in her underwear, But this is it's just 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:43.200 them meeting outside of school. That's is inappropriate. It's and 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.520 also it's just there's so much weird about about miss Carr. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.000 It's weird to me that Dan and Serena both call 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.960 her Rachel. They both call her by her first name, 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.400 which like maybe rich kids do that. I never would've 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.840 done that in a million years. I'm trying to imagine 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.480 calling like my high school senior English teacher by her 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.080 first name, and I like, I literally don't remember what 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.560 it is because I only know her last name. You know, right, 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.040 It's absolutely really odd because I'll tell you what. I 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.679 run into teachers now in my mid thirties and I 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.400 still call them by their I'm like, Mr Hannis, how 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.199 are you you know what I mean? I know what 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.839 his first name is. My mom calls by his first name. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.960 He had me in eighth grade. I mean, this was like, 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.079 you know, so many years ago, and I would still 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.640 call him Mr Hennis or Mr Pugh, you know what 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.160 I mean? And now I bet. I mean, some of 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.160 my teachers now are are fully retired, like you know 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.160 what I mean, it's not like they're still teaching even 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.000 and I would still be like that's what I'm saying, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:48.480 So yeah, exactly, Oh my goodness. Um, okay, So this 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.679 whole situation is is I don't know, and I feel 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:57.000 like I don't think Dan was trying to go there. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.800 I think it's more on miss car to be on 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.719 absolutely a hundred percent Okay, all right, she should she 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:08.240 should definitely know better, like she's the adult in this situation. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.960 And it's also like she's bonding with Dan complaining about 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.640 her students, which is also really unprofessional, even if her 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.120 students are horrible, which by and large they seem to be. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.640 They're like bonding over complaining about these people, which is 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.520 also just everything about it is just so weird one 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.760 hundred present. Um, So that's going on, and then we 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.880 move on to Chuck wakes up. We can't tell right away, 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.960 and then we soon learned that it's a hotel room 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.800 and he's having these flashbacks from a party, um and 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.640 it seems, you know, kind of like smoky and dark 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.440 and there was things happening. And then he notices how 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.280 tattoo on his wrist while he's in this hotel room 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.720 of symbols from from the party, and he calls Nate 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.320 and he basically has he wants Nate to come and 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.520 meet him because he can't figure out, like he can't 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.480 put the a little together of where he was the 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.920 night before and it was an ultimate private gentleman's club 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.680 and Nate and Vanessa show up and there at this house. 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.640 What were you thinking at this point? Like, I'm like, 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.960 this storyline, this whole storyline is so out of I 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.120 kind of forgot about it because it's so out of 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.120 left field. Well, because I wanted to ask you too, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.720 like I know you haven't I know you haven't watched it, 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.200 but like, when you're filming this, do you know, do 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.760 you remember anything about what that storyline was or you 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.360 just kind of well, you know what's funny while watching this, 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.520 Like yeah, watching this episode, I'm like, this kind of 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.200 feels like a eyes wide shut situation. I don't know 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.440 if you remember that movie with Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.720 This kind of feels like that, like with the mask 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.400 and it's all secretive, and then he makes a Chuck 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.400 says something along those lines like later on in the episode. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.120 So I'm like, okay, that is what they were trying 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.560 to do. Um, So certain things like click with me, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.600 like I remember, you know, playing the piano with Chase 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.920 or Nate Vanessa in that house. And by the way, 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.680 that house was listed for like thirty eight million, six 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:14.440 hundred fifty thousand dollars, like that was an insane house. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:20.320 That always that all this is insane, Like you have 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.640 to be like a billionaire to even have a house 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.040 like that. And we're not even just talking millions. We're 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.600 talking like you know what I'm saying, yeah with the 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.960 bait um. And then they see this family photo on 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.400 the piano and Chuck says, the woman holding the baby 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.240 was there last night, right, And I'm like wait what. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.800 So things are kind of coming back to him, but 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.400 for me, it was really seemed shady to me, to 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.640 be honest. Yeah, it's so it's so weird, and it's 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.680 such a like he's trying to track down this woman 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.560 who he can't really remember anything about that is obsessed 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.040 with and it's like, how do you even know? He's like, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:58.680 I'm pretty sure I had the best night of my life, 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.760 but he can't remember it, which, like I mean, for Chuck, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.160 kind of makes sense right, right, it's very often having 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.880 those kinds of nights. But it's coming off of all 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.119 this drama with Uncle Jack and like his dad dying, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.879 and so I feel like they're trying to kind of 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.840 help transition Chuck out of grieving the like grieving for 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:19.920 his dad and all of that drama, and they're using 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.240 the storyline to kind of get him back on track. 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.640 It's just so interesting. I had forgotten all about it. Yeah, 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.200 So anyways, that's all going on there, and then we 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.160 get back to school and Blairs there and she's talking 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.080 with the minions and all of a sudden, there's a 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:41.120 no phone policy. Yeah, she's trying to get the minions 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:42.960 to help her take down this car and they don't 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.240 want to because they've seen that people are staring to 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.600 get punished. But then it turns out Miss Car has 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.720 helped initiate a no phone policy, and that's that's a 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.000 no go for any of them. Yeah, there's like how 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:01.080 Hazel says something like this is I worse nightmare. Like 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.639 they basically are acting like the oxygen is being taken 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.840 from them, like they can't breathe. She's just sitting in 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.760 the corner of the bathroom kind of texting into thin air, 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.119 and she's like, is a scandal still a scandal if 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.040 you can't text about it or something like that, and 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.040 it's like they're not well because they can't get their 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:23.080 gossip girl fixed. No, and here's okay, so miss car 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.800 doing this, whether she was behind it or there's like 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.720 a part of me that feels like that's not completely 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.480 wrong either, you know what I mean. I don't think 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.680 the phones need to be taken, but they're definitely needs 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.359 to be like rules like no texting nor being on 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.399 during class. Yeah. Oh, I mean I remember when I 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.040 was in school, which was like a million years ago 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.320 relatively speaking, you couldn't have phones in class. No, I 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:46.879 don't know how you connatrol it now, and it's like 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.320 their whole life is on that. Yeah. I just think 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.760 there has to be boundaries or like a balance, Like 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.560 I understand like kids nowadays and in high school need 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.600 you know that that is everything that's there how they 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.680 look up things. That's how they get the music, that's 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.520 how they watch TV. I mean, it's that there's so 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.760 many things, and I understand that. I'm just meaning like, 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:08.400 if you're going to be at school for eight hours 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.320 a day and there's no boundaries with your phone, like 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.480 you're not you can't be in two places at once, 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:14.800 you know what I mean? You know that when you 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.640 sit at dinner with a friend and they check a text, 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.679 they're checked out for a second. That's why I think 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.720 a lot of times too, at dinners and stuff, I 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.760 think it's rude to have phones. But that's just me like, 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.479 if you're gonna spend time to try to catch up 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.920 with someone like be yeah, you put the phone away, 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:31.960 I mean take it out to get a photo for sure, 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.680 But then that's like also, have you ever done that 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.440 where you put the phone in the middle of the 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.280 table you can and the first person to reach for 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.280 theirs has to get the bill? I haven't. I've heard 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.040 about that. Have you done that? We've done it many times. 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:47.920 It's fun and it makes it kind of funny, but 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.680 it's also great because you may not have to pay 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.680 for dinner a few times exactly or you may. I'm like, what, 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.600 that's my that's you know, that's Brad. I gotta get 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.040 it so or you put it in in the first 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.040 person's phone to go off, which is like, oh, that's trickier. 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.480 You can't control that exactly. So I don't know, okay, 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.080 but there's fun little things to do so people aren't 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:14.080 on their phones. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, so Blair is like, 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.479 I'm taking down this car, like, this is what's happening? 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:20.680 Who's with me? Like, and Derota shows up all incognito, 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:26.680 like coat, sunglasses, with their head dressed still on, and 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.359 she gives Blair a purse with phones in it, and 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.120 Blair wants to use them to dig deep to find 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.240 out Rachel's past, and she's basically like mother Teresa, like 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.200 they can't find anything. Yeah, and which is like a 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.480 tough spot because that's where Blair like thrives. She gets 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.119 one little thing and she like can run with it. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.360 So when they're like she's basically mother Teresa, I thought 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:49.960 for sure they were going to get dirt right there 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.560 in the bathroom. Yeah. Well, I mean, first of all, 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.000 how I can never get over whenever I watched the 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.800 scene that Derota delivers all these cell phones and louis 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:04.680 utan purse. I mean, they're funny to me. Um, but yeah, 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.680 you're expecting them to dig up dirt because that's what 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.119 Blair is best at. And then yeah, of course when 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.000 they can't find anything, she's like, it's time to make 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:16.159 something up, right, Yeah, which is you know, not an 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.639 ideal situation, not a good thing for her to do. 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:21.480 And this is what we were talking about earlier, where 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.280 it's like she has what she wants and she should 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.280 just leave well enough alone, and she just can't because 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.400 she can't let this person. Blair can't let somebody else 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:32.560 have the upper hand. No, she can't, and she will 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:38.840 do anything, including why we learned a lot about that 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:55.280 in this episode. Yes, so they find that that, like 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:59.960 there's nothing they can do, and um, when Blair noticed 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.320 is Dan and Miss Car in the hallway, she goes 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.000 to text gossip Girl Lonely Boy and Miss Car. Yes, 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.080 she says Mary Kay laterno er, Yeah, I remember that. 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:10.720 I feel like it was such a big thing. I 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:12.800 think it happened. I can't remember how although as when 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.160 it happened, but it was such a big story. Yeah. 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.000 Well I know she pleaded guilty Basically, she was an 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.560 American teacher who pleaded guilty for two accounts of felony 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.560 second degree rate and it was her sixth grade student. Yeah, 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.320 doesn't they had a baby to get didn't the ultimately 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:31.840 get married and have a baby together. I didn't really 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.200 know where it went, but now I really need to 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.159 know that. But I know that was like the thing 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.680 because it was super I mean, the teacher was having 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.480 an affair with her sixth grade student, which is like 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:45.000 super in insane and inappropriately crazy. Yeah, okay, so here's 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:48.760 Blair saying lonely boy in miss car and and throwing 0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.600 in mary kay. I mean, like to compare that situation 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:54.719
