Oh, you need to know. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.040 We're here to We're here to talk about Episode nine, 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.600 Church and State of the Succession television program, season four, 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.760 directed by Mark Mylott, written by Jesse Armstrong, and we 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:05.800 open on the wake of election Day. New York City 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.760 and the country in general are in an uproar because 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:14.920 of the events of election night. Protests of an increasingly 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:20.400 hysterical nature are everywhere in the city, focused primarily on 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.640 atn HQ. Tom wams Gans is under a particular scrutiny 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.959 because he is the guy who made the call. There's 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.000 a TikTok story in New York and the New York Times, 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.080 the liberal New York Times about who made the call 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.520 and how it happened and who did what. Meanwhile, preparations 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.120 are of course underway for the great Man himself Logan 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:48.960 Roy's funeral. Roman Roy is practicing his speech for the 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.040 Big Energy Spot. You will recall the previous episode he 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.400 had locked down that Big Energy Spot. Well, now he's 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.560 kind of running through his lines and guess what, he's unworried. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:04.280 He is chilling, he grieved, he's chilling all the stuff 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.800 in the streets. You know. Carrie's looking great. He's putting 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.120 on face cream, he's wearing his suits. He looks good. 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:15.520 He's ready for it. Ken calls and says, hey, Rome, Uh, 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.200 you know your buddy Jared Mencoln, the future president of 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.680 the United States. Could you get him to turn down 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.520 the heat on the rhetoric a little, maybe stop firing 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.159 up the ops because it is the day of our 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.599 dad's funeral and uh, you know other stuff. Just get 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.960 him chill out. Rome is like whatever. Then Ken gets 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.279 a call from Rava, his ex, and she basically says, hey, Ken, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:42.440 the city's aflame. It's scary out there in these streets, 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.120 thanks in no small part to you and your family. 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.680 And so I've decided to take our beautiful children, Sophie 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:58.800 and Iverson. Every time I've decided to take our children, 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.320 Sovie and Iverson out of the city. Ken loses it, 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.640 drives at high speed across the city in front of 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.440 V's cars. All types of laws, but you know what 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.719 are what are laws to a great man such as 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.280 Ken Roy Nothing. He gets there just as they're pulling away, 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.120 and he's like, listen, you can't take my kids out 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.800 of the city. I'm gonna get an injunction from the 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.640 governor or whoever to make sure that legally you can't 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.600 flee the city with my children. And by the way, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.760 what are you gonna do. You're gonna fucking run me over. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.680 I'm gonna lay in front of your car. Is that 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.280 what you want to do? And Ravas says, whatever, I'm leaving. 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.240 She gets in the car and leaves. First prompts Rosie, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.839 what's this problem? What's that problem? 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:43.520 What's going on? 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.360 I mean, sure, sure, sure. 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:52.080 How kids I'll being threatened? How young child might be being. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.480 Everybody's kids are threatened by a See, you know, kids 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:56.680 are small, that's what. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.120 That's what happens. That's small. They can't fight for themselves. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:05:59.279 You know. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.080 Oh, suddenly she wants to go up state. Can't go 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:07.800 to racist Ken's racist dad's funeral. I see, seems very coincidental. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.600 As Ken says, she's too online, she's dumb. Why does 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.080 she believe this? You know, Nazis are running wild in 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.520 the streets. Who cares? She doesn't care. Also, I will 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.080 point out that right rather's got the best of both worlds. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.919 She's the ex wife of a billionaire, so the anarchists 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.719 hate her, and her child is Indian, so the Nazis 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.920 hate her. I mean, what else? What could she want? 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:34.599 What more? What's wrong with her? 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:41.159 I think it's time for Sophie and Iverson who I'm guessing. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:46.600 I'm kind of like, you know, I test measuring their age. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.720 I'm going to put them at like twelve and thirteen 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.320 somewhere around there. I think it's time for them to 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.320 be the bigger person. I think it's time for them 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:06.000 to show a little adult responsibility, a little you know, 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.640 just to be the bigger person in this and say yeah, 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:17.760 my granddad fostered some of the worst impulses currently infecting 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:24.480 the national body, and my dad helped elect a raving 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.680 racist whose followers have attacked me in the streets. But 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.480 for the sake of the country, I'm gonna show unity 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.640 right now, gonna I'm gonna go to this funeral. And 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.000 I know kids love funeral, they love them. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.400 And also there's like five hundred people that you know, 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.360 they need those extra bodies in the room, like otherwise 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:47.560 it's gonna look suspicious. Okay, be prompt. How likely is 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.560 it that can gets custody? 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:59.520 Zero? Zero? I mean, first of all, I yeah, I 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.080 have a wrong suspicion that the kids are gonna say 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.480 we don't want to we we don't want a change 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.960 in the customer situation. And I think the fact that 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:15.480 Ken sees his kids like once every six to eight months, 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:20.080 maybe ye leads me to believe that Rava, who is 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.560 you know, there on the ground on the day to 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.800 day and the minute to minute raising of the children 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.480 will continue in that regard, despite the fact that, like 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.680 a coward, she is fleeing the greatest city on earth 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.199 just because of a few bad apples. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.559 Nothing to worry about. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.760 That's it nothing to worry about. The fine people of 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:54.640 the NYPD will keep them safe. Shive then shive, then 0:08:55.440 --> 0:09:00.439 shive then prevails on Lucas Matson to release this statement 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.320 on those pesky Indian numbers. Got to release the statement 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.520 about those Indian numbers. Listen, there's never gonna be a 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.880 better time. The country is falling apart. Protesters are in 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:15.720 the streets. Everybody is consumed with how the fuck did 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.960 this guy, Jared macer get elected? Is he even elected? 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:19.720 Is it legal? 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:27.239 What the hell's going on? Is it legal? Protests, counter protests, fires, riots, 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.800 Just release the Indian numbers. Nobody's gonna fucking kid. 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:31.600 She was right? 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.520 Matson? Meanwhile, is like she was right? Matson. Meanwhile, it 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:40.320 was like, Hey, get me in a room with Jared Macon. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:45.000 I am, after all, a very tall, white, blonde man. 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.439 I think as a Nazi he would look an aria 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.600 at at and he will understand. Yeah, I think he'll 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.520 understand I'm someone he can work with and atn Tom 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.079 is of course dealing with the hectic newsday. Is these 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.520 protests rack the country? 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:00.280 Uh? 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.719 And he's also consumed with the fact that in that 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.920 New York Times story, about how the call happened. He 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.760 is frankly not given enough credit for making the call. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.080 He's like, hey, if I if I'm if I'm the 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.600 one who made the call. Look Tom's right, He's like, 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.920 if I'm the one who made the call, if I 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.600 made the Nazi powerful, I want to get my Gobels money. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.000 Where's my where's my credit? I want people to know 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.800 I am the pr person for the Nazi. I'm only 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.240 getting a little. I'm getting a little, one sentence in 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.880 this giant two page spread. That's it. That's it. Why 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.400 is Darwin getting all the credit? 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.199 Yeah? Fuck Darwin. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.160 He didn't even want to do I want. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:45.600 To do it. Also, Tom is the wheelman. I think 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.800 back right, he's front, front right, So he's got a 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.400 front right. That is a prime spot, folks. And so 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.120 that means he's got to get out of there, got 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.800 to get to the church. But of course, you know, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.240 things are really again, very very busy at eighteen headquarters. Later, 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.280 Ken learns that his stalwart assistant since season one, Jess, 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.520 who has put up with all manner of things in 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:17.000 service to kenroy Is, is leaving him. Is taking her leave. 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.000 He gets really petulant about it. And he's like, hey, 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:25.400 you'll never get access like this again, like a thought 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.440 leader or you know, like a business leader. And then 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.240 he's like, hey, so is this about mencing? Why? Just 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.760 because it is about mancing with your kids, and it 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.920 is about mencing with your ex wife, and it is 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.760 about macon with your fan the whole country, manking in 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.880 every other sphere and the whole country. Just because it's 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.880 about mancing with everybody else, it has to be about 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:50.080 making with Jess ps, it's probably about mencoing. And then 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.640 he closes with you have no idea how things will 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.160 turn out. It's very juvenile. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:59.040 He says, you're the fucking your job, dumb great great job, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:03.040 great job. Can well definitely gonna keep Jess around. And honestly, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.600 Jess has put up with so much shit I truly 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.160 cannot believe this is the straw that I think that 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.880 A key moment is when she tried to get Greg 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.880 to not tell them to call it. She was like, 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.680 you could just delay it for a few minutes. And 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.440 he's like, well, someone's got to call it, and she's 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.880 like and she's like, yeah, they're all fucked, Like Jess is, 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.120 it's all about menkin and Jess is on her way out, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.040 and I think Kendall is starting to realize now it 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:31.160 is all about Menkin. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.160 That leads us to prompt number two. What is the 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.160 very best thing about working for a demanding boss who 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.439 you don't respect? 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.199 I would hope in this case it would be lots 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.720 of money, because the Roys are extremely friach. I would 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.880 also hope, I hope it is that. I would also 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:53.200 hope that Jess had taken advantage of Kendall's ego and 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.720 his need to be cool to maybe get some stock options. 0:12:58.240 --> 0:12:59.960 I feel like Jess could be coming out of this 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.760 in a very profitable way. I also feel like Jess, 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.320 if she wanted to go more like the Jerry route, 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:12.360 probably has some quite legit skeletons that she could unbury 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.440 for the Roys. So I think not respecting a rich 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.679 and powerful man is always fun. So that's a boon. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.880 But I would hope for Jess lots and lots of 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.320 money would be the best thing. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.880 What do you think, and of course the access What 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:34.200 do you think that the access to ken you know, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:40.079 like Kendall Roy a bad human being? Do you what? 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.160 What do you think Jess is pulling down in the 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.360 employee of kendlroy I too. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.480 I think so there is a generally, there's a general 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:54.199 rule that if you are an assistant a PA, even 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.800 for like a big person or in a bank, they 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.880 generally say you'll never learn earn more than sixty sixty K. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.400 But we know that's not true. I think I think 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.440 you're right. I think she's probably worked her way up 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.520 to about one fifty with bonuses, and it's definitely not 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.160 enough because that is fucking pocket change for these schmos. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:18.079 Destroy it. I mean, being a accessory to the destruction 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.160 of the country for a one fifty a year, like 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.680 I just get that military budget money eight hundred billion. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.960 At the church, Roman approaches Frank about coming aboard his 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.440 waist star project. Whatever that means. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:35.400 He's feeling confident. 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.280 Uh, He's feeling very confident right now. He's got the 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.120 president in his breast pocket. He's about to give the 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.720 big speech, the big the big energy spot at the funeral. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:51.160 Uh and listen, he's ready. It certainly seems to kind 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:58.360 of help. Can exit stage left? Should Roman ascend to 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.760 the pinnacle job at wast Star Royco, Greg eager to 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:09.920 leverage his role in crowning the new Preys is absolutely desperate. Meanwhile, 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.120 for an intro Tomkin, we catch up with the Lady 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.360 Carroll in Collingwood, the mother, of course, of the siblings Ken, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:23.120 Roman and Shive. She honestly has never been happier than 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:28.280 presiding front pew over the funeral of her ex husband. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.680 It's a best day of her life. Like I will 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.440 just say, I believe you're about to get to this, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.840 but I believe this is arguably the power move of 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:41.680 the episode. Oh yeah, yeah. When Caroline, who is a 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.480 horrible person, I will say that we have to disclaim it. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:49.320 There's a lot human being as they all are in 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.800 this moment because she wants to fuck with everyone. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:59.640 She reconnects all of the side pieces and the partners 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.920 and the wives, Marsha, Kerry and her own Kerry, Sally 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:08.520 Ann makes my Kerry and she said, sits them in 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.400 the front row, and we actually get I mean, she 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.480 freaks everyone from way star out. You know, everyone's like, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.480 what the fuck is Kerry doing in the front row. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.720 This gives her some kind of leverage. Kerry bought a 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.520 lawyer because she thought they wouldn't let her in, and 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.880 now she's in this front row. 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.680 It's so funny and we. 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.880 Actually get you know, I would say in any other 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.440 place on market moves that this would be a sign 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.640 of weakness, but I actually think we get a great 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:39.480 new power cell that is born here. When Marsha puts 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.800 her hand over Kerry's hand and kind of reassures her 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:44.960 after making a great joke about she was like, well, 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.440 at least Logan won't be fucking grinding his teeth tonight. 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.080 None of us havefered to listen to that shit. I 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.440 loved that. That was That was the power move of 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.880 the episode for me. Caroline doing something maybe right, even 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.960 for fucked up reasons. Just once. 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.440 She shiv pulls Mattson aside and she has an idea 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.359 pitch mancin On an American CEO, you know, like cultural, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.040 an executive that understands the American culture, that like that 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.920 mancan can be a man who is has deep seated 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.360 rage against immigrants, even white ones, even Swedish people. This 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.200 is a move, even Swedish people. This is a move 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:29.159 that he could potentially get behind. And so Lucas is like, 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.720 it's interesting, it's interesting who should I choose and shive 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.200 hems and haws or Hems once, and then Hawes once, 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.840 and then eventually she's like me should be me, It 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.560 should be Shivroy and he's like, well, you have your inexperience. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:45.600 You have no experience doing this right, And she's like yeah, 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:49.119 but like you know, I have the political acumen, the contacts, 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.520 all that stuff I'm great with. And then Matts is like, Okay, fine, 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.400 let's assume that's the case. Aren't you with child? Aren't 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.640 you pregnant? She's like yeah, but I'm not gonna Let's 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.840 let's face facts. I'm gonna be a terrible mom. I 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.000 Am not going to be plugged in. Uh. It will 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.240 take a village to raise my child, because I will 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:11.159 hire a village. I'll be on the you know, the 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.960 text with you, on the zoom link with you while 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.560 I'm having my vanity Cesarean. Don't worry about it. Everybody's 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.919 gonna say that I'm a terrible mom. But here's the upside. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:26.240 Everyone's also going to say Shive's inexperience. She just had 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.040 a kid. It's Lucas Max doing the strings. They're going 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.600 to give you all the credit for everything. 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:39.000 Dude, this is smart. That was extremely bleak, but it 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:43.400 does appeal to mass insensibility. He's into it. He was like, Ah, 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.639 you're a hot ass. He's like, you're gonna be misogynous 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.160 against yourself and I love it. Yeah, that's right. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.439 The funeral begins with some Vivaldi and the coffin walk 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.720 with the family in tow, and then, much to almost 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:09.200 everyone's chagrin, Uncle Ewen bolts I was that pulpit. Uncle Ewan, 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:17.320 the neo socialist billionaire brother of Logan Roy who, while 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.359 he often stridently criticizes his brother, is also happy to 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.679 take his brother's money. He gets to the pulpit, Greg 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.080 can't stop him, Shive can't stop him. He gets up 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:34.040 there and he seizes for himself the brutust spot, the 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.919 coveted brutust first speech spot at the funeral. He says, 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.879 what sort of people? What's stop a brother speaking for 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.040 the sake of a share price? Boom, and then he 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:52.520 proceeds to tell to quite revealing actually anecdotes about Logan. 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:57.679 The first is as children four and a half and 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.800 five years old, taking their ocean passage from Europe to 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.080 North America. I believe Canada at first is where they 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:12.800 first landed. During World War two, and how because their 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.680 boat lost power and was left behind by the convoy, 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:20.600 they had to sit in silence lest their position be 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.639 revealed to the U boats. And during this time, which 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.399 you know, unfolded over numerous days, these two children just 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:34.040 communicated with gestures and looks in each other's eyes. And 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:40.520 Roman is listening to this, and he's quite emotional. It's 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.920 clear that this is hitting him. Then, the second anecdote 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:48.240 is about how Logan came home from boarding school and 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:55.879 always believed that he brought home polio from boarding school, 0:20:55.880 --> 0:21:00.960 which then infected their baby sister, Rose, who you'll remember 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.600 that Rose was used as a little bit of a 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:11.399 landmine to set up Readrell at Logan's birthday party a 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:15.800 couple of seasons back. Okay, this apparently, by the way, 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.960 the thought that he had given his baby sister polio 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.600 obviously tortured him, and his uncle and aunt that took 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:27.400 care of him never really tried to talk about of 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.000 the thought that he in fact caused his sister to die. 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:36.040 He then closes with a denunciation of Logan's life and works. 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.720 I think the important comment here is he has wrought 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:44.320 the most terrible things. It's true, Ewan says, it's it's 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.200 quite true. Your thoughts on the speech. 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:50.760 I love this speech. I think Ewan came through strong. 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.760 I was hoping he would be there. I feel like 0:21:54.480 --> 0:22:00.800 the real power line of any of the speech was 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:05.040 who would stop a brother speaking for the sake of 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.760 a share price? I think that's a really good one. 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:12.040 I think he was, you know, tough but fair on Logan, 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.400 and as we will see, he did a set up 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.200 Kendall pretty well. 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:16.960 Though. 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.639 I do think the biggest impact this speech had was 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:25.760 on Roman, because we knew that the kids knew that 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.639 Logan was scared of water, and there's that like weird 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.040 thing with Kendall being obsessed with water and water being 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.200 this like huge thing in his life and his dad 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.720 being terrified of it, and now we know why. I 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:41.800 feel like there is a strange realization here from Roman 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.240 about how his dad was a really fucked up, hurt 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.560 person just like he is, and that's kind of why 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:50.919 he treated him that way. I don't think he was 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:54.199 like upset with you, and I think he believed everything 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:56.479 you and said, the bad stuff the good stuff. And 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.879 if you compare that to where he was at at 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.199 the beginning when he's practiced like my dad was a 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.240 great man, Like my dad was this great titan of 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.879 business and industry. I feel like post you and speech 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.960 and the kind of revelations about Logan's childhood and also 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:15.119 the reality of Logan's impact. Roman can't get up on 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.280 stage in front of five hundred people in front of 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.920 a live stream question mark that seems to be going on. 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:21.760 He doesn't. 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:22.440 It doesn't. 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.080 Like, it doesn't feel like he can get up there 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.680 and pretend anymore. The pre grieving has run out. 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:34.240 Well, you mentioned it. It's Roman's turner. 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:34.560 Of course. 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.919 Roman has been talking about how he pre grieved and 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:41.879 he's fine, he's doing great, all that stuff, and then 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:43.840 as soon as he gets up there with his pink 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:49.320 cue cards, he just folds humiliatingly under the weight of everything. 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.760 Connor Kennon Shiv have to escort him from the pulpit 0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:58.199 as Rome, hysterical and whimpering like the kennel dog that 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:02.000 he is, wonders loud if Logan is in fact in 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.359 the box and whether they can get him out he 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:09.520 is I think, I think clearly by the way, calling 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:13.440 back to that trauma of his own trauma of being 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:16.280 trapped in that tunnel as his family had put him in. 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:20.679 Now thinking about his dad that way, and it's a 0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:25.119 moment I think that we could use to humanize Roman, 0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:28.159 but I won't. I think if anything, Roman deserves this 0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.359 and much more. Ken then takes the wheel and he 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:36.520 acknowledges that you and Hey, in Greg's words, has a 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.440 strong take about Logan, but it was right. He was 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:43.800 a brute, very tough guy. Then Ken transitions into a 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:47.000 pretty strident defense of him, like as Logan is a 0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:49.639 man of action, he's a doer. He was full of life. 0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:53.719 I hope that you know that vim and vigor of 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:59.399 life is in me, because otherwise this world will be 0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:05.879 you know, like peaceful and in harmony, with all the 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:10.760 kind of like plurality of different races and creeds and everybody, 0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:16.080 you know, being able to coexist in at times fractuous civilization, 0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:19.480 but one that is essentially non violent and able to 0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:22.640 adhere to the tenets of a democracy, and that would 0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:29.360 be super boring, terrible. Blood in the streets capitalisire. Yeah, 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:30.800
