Introduction and Episode Overview
00:00:20
Speaker
All right. Hi everyone. And welcome to the Psych 6 101, where we discuss everything about the world of Psych and the antics of Shawn and Gus in sunny Santa Barbara. I'm Skylar. And this is my partner, Bessie the Mustang. And today we'll be talking about season two, episode four of the famed TV show, Psych. Hello.
00:00:39
Speaker
We were already on episode four. I know, we've been zooming. We're just zooming in. Which fitting was your own murder in 60 seconds? That's the title of that.
Car-themed Episodes and Procedural Balance
00:00:51
Speaker
yeah and we keep There's a couple of car episodes throughout the series. We keep mixing them up. We keep mixing them all up, yeah. And they're all very, like, interesting episodes, I think. But this is the Chop Shop one. Yeah. Well, and one thing, like, Chop Shop, the case, I'm like, okay, early psych. But then, like, as things kept happening, like, the spa day and stuff, I'm like, oh, I'm thinking this happened later. Yeah, we have- Oh, and 21 St. Senlets. Yes. Like, those feel like later things to me, I think. Yeah. Yeah.
00:01:30
Speaker
I'm kind of running into this issue of remembering like they the case, the framework of the case, but the social aspects of what's going on. It's harder to place them within the narrative of the show. I don't know why that is. you know Maybe this is real life.
00:01:51
Speaker
It's as if we have lived these lives because we've watched it so many times and like revisited there these events. So it's kind of like, you know, like when you're talking to somebody who you have like a shared history with and you have to like place things. Yes. Yeah. And you're like, Oh yeah, that happened. And I was going on like, it's almost like that. Like we're just remembering our actual lives. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so then why, why are the, cause I agree with you. I definitely think it kind of feels like that, but why then do the,
00:02:22
Speaker
the cases fall outside of that? Is it because there's like more of a of like a, not a storyline? I don't even know how to explain it. But why do why I guess why do we think that that the cases seem to fall outside of that? Well, procedural shows are interesting in that like the framework is very episodic and like The original like detective shows wouldn't have even had like cereal, anything, really, because you didn't have to. I mean, it's kind of like a sitcom. Like you come in, you get your your one story um and then you join in next week and like maybe you don't even catch the next one, you know, like and you don't have to you can pick up wherever. Right.
Evolution of TV Storytelling
00:03:08
Speaker
So we've got that going on on one level. And then all the cereal stuff.
00:03:13
Speaker
is like on another level. And so it is kind of like we may know in our heads and hearts, i the like the general serial narrative of these character arcs. Yeah. Over the seasons, but actual like beats. and Yeah. And I guess just like the cases can kind of go anywhere. Like unless sometimes they do feel very like season one case or like, I don't know, or like maybe especially as we get later.
00:03:43
Speaker
and they get maybe more outlandish. They might be easier for us to place in the oh yeah later seasons, but then there's some that are like really episodic feeling and like yeah like they could be anywhere. Yeah. And I wonder if that has anything to do So we've kind of talked about the progression of TV and movie media. And Psych is very much so situated in the like, you know, 2000s, 2010s. But we've definitely seen a switch nowadays to that more binge be media, um which in that case, that like, serialness
00:04:26
Speaker
is maybe more available to you. And I'm gonna guess in like the 70s or the 80s when catching an episode of something might've been a little bit more difficult if maybe a television show wasn't something that, or television wasn't something that you had in your house. So to keep people involved in watching the show, maybe it needed to be a little bit more episodic. So maybe we're kind of like in the middle of ah the two of these.
00:04:55
Speaker
yeah i mean and i We talk a lot about how we love meandering and like you know always I love like pop pop culture. I think it's really valuable and stuff, and and yet I don't keep up with a lot of different shows that are on now. Yeah, that's part of it. There's just so many. oh and Actually, I don't watch a lot of shows in general, even streaming ones. I'm behind on culture. um But there's definitely shows out there that behave in this way. like yeah 911 is that like the there's one that I see a lot about and they are like famous for like the disasters that they have. ah So crazy. Like that's a good example of like
00:05:38
Speaker
You have your 20 episodes, 22 episodes a season and it's like you got to have a case every episode.
Character Depth and Genre Exploration
00:05:43
Speaker
Right. And you got to keep raising the stakes, which a streaming show doesn't have to. And I'm trying to think of like a mystery streaming show like to compare it to. And I don't know if it's really a good comparison, like only murders in the building or it's literally one case yeah a season. Yeah. And you keep like unraveling it as you go along and it is very character. Yeah.
00:06:06
Speaker
they're all like caught up in it. It's like it it's in your lives too. yeah So like that, yeah, it's kind of different, different modes. Yeah. And I think it's really, as we've said before, I think all of these things are really valuable. Like I don't necessarily think one is more valuable than and than the other. Like I love, I do really love say only a murders in the building, for example, because it is kind of this meandering like, see their lives and see how this case kind of destroys their lives in the process. Yeah, that's true. That's like, like a whole season could be like, yeah.
00:06:46
Speaker
Yeah. Cause it's like, you know, what we like in psych, the meandering of psych is that we're just, you know, we're doing, we're just, yeah, it's a state, like in only murders in the building, it's a lot more like but i maybe distilled, like, um, or like concentrated version. Cause you're in like a specific story in a specific case. yeah Um, but you are still very much in the lives of the characters. So it's.
00:07:14
Speaker
Yeah, but then there's like stuff that you don't see. you know But if it was a 22 episode show, you might get and into more like mundane things. Yeah. I think it's fun. like Only Murders in the Building feels very much to me like a book. like Each of the episodes is kind of like a chapter in the book and sir um where I feel like Psych feels more to me, if we were to compare the two, not that they're necessarily comparable, they're very different. um But Psych feels more to me like, do you remember? um
00:07:53
Speaker
magic tree house. It feels like magic tree house, you know, like, each time we have kind of this, this like weird mystery thing time traveling that we have to solve, but like, we'll still learn about the characters along the way. But it's like, it feels like it moves at a faster clip. Yeah. Well, and that's a, like, that is like a true serial book series where it's just like an adventure a week kind of feeling, which is also just that's TV, you know, like,
00:08:24
Speaker
Like a site cannot exist really in anything else unless it was like you know ah like a young adult book series that had like 50 books in it. But otherwise it's very much a TV show yeah and you can't really achieve that in any other medium. Because even like the other plots we're talking about, like And maybe that's part of it too, of like why they feel like they could have fallen later or whatever. is like They're very much all sitcom adventures. yeah like We've got a very clear like ABC story here. We've got Sean on his
00:09:02
Speaker
you know, trying to solve the case. And he's like the only one on that A story. yeah then um And then we've got Jules and Lassie on their little side adventure and then Gus is on his little side adventure. yeah And so it was like a true sitcom kind of episode. And you could throw any of those into like any of those plots into another episode if you wanted.
00:09:25
Speaker
It's almost like Goochberg, you know, like how they had Goochberg as a character, like they wanted to put her somewhere. Right. And so it's like, she happened to fit in the episode that she's in, but like they could have put her anywhere because they were just like, we just want to put the story somewhere. Right.
Recurring Gags and Psych Movies
00:09:39
Speaker
Yeah, so I guess that's it. The the the social aspects.
00:09:44
Speaker
feel so, I guess, feel so true to the world that they could have happened at any point in time. Like they're not specific to this particular case, so it's hard to place them on a case by case basis. Yeah. Yeah. And even from like a serial perspective, like a lot of like this, when we have drilled down into like the but more character things going on, you can almost say that the most character progress or whatever is happening in the case. And so maybe that's part of it too, because usually we've got our little, our case that's been happening and then we've got this like juicy character stuff that's happening like underneath it or beside it. Whereas this, it's like Sean dealing with this case and having to confront like what's worthwhile like work to him and all that is like the main character
00:10:36
Speaker
stuff. And then meanwhile we have these like little side plots where you could just, it could be Jules and Lassie at any point in the series. They could be doing this. Correct. And Gus too. like Yeah, I want to go to the spa at any point in time. Yeah, in fact he does do. Yeah, I know. i and And maybe that's part of it too is like, I feel like we have seen versions of or we do see versions of these stories at other times. So maybe yeah also, yeah.
00:11:04
Speaker
yeah i've you know I've never really thought about TV in that way, in the respect that it is such a unique medium, but it really is. like you couldn't I couldn't read a book. and I mean, I suppose I could. I could read a book from three separate perspectives and it could jump back and forth between the perspectives. And some books certainly do that.
00:11:23
Speaker
however It doesn't feel at all like disjointed in a television series and doing that. Sometimes and like you have to really have finesse in a book to do that and make it feel um not choppy. Where here it takes to the medium very well, I i suppose.
00:11:41
Speaker
Although I wonder, I really wonder, i and I think it would be kind of fun if Psych, instead of doing a movie next, did like a limited release series and had like five have episodes trying to solve like a big, big case. It would be a very different vibe. Yeah. It would be really interesting to see what that what that would look like.
00:12:00
Speaker
Yeah, and I feel like I i love the Psych movies. I i just love that Psych continues to produce yeah even after the series is done. But there as people who have watched eight seasons of 15 plus episodes a season, getting like one hour and a half movie never really feels like an enough yeah i know to get like a limited series, I feel like would you know, fill that craving. Would be cool. Yeah, it would be so cool. Well, and it seemed like something that I bet they would do, like they'd be down for it. Because it's like they seem to love like just exploring, like they did our musical, you know? Yeah. And that like, it's not unheard of for a show to do a musical episode, but like they didn't really do a musical episode. Like it's its own thing. It's a movie. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, they do play with all these different gears they can be in.
00:12:56
Speaker
yeah i and Yeah, I would love to see them. If we ever meet Steve Franks, we're suggesting this to him. That's what I'm saying. Yes, to the spirit of Steve Franks. The spirit of Steve Franks, please make a, what I call it limited series. We started making Oh yeah, we did start making our list of things to tell people when we eventually. Limited series. yeah Just do it. Just make that happen. Yeah. i And I feel like, you know.
00:13:30
Speaker
similar to Only Murders in the Building, what that kind of then allows us a a lot more of the meandering that we love, but also the like dropping of the hints. Like I love how it, okay. So when I watched the first season of Only Murders in the Building, one of my very close friends is a bassoonist. So after I watched it, I was like, I need you to watch this. I need to see without telling him, I was like, I need to see if he catches.
00:14:00
Speaker
the part about the bassoon, the cleaning piece for the bassoon. And he didn't catch it, but I was like, I loved going back and watching it and be like, oh my God, like it was one or two, you know, it was fun. And I think that would be really fun for these characters too.
00:14:16
Speaker
Yeah, that is a really cool because you really like when you have 10 episodes or whatever to spend on the case itself, it's like you can really get into the like who done it. Yeah, exactly. We get that on psych, but it's like condensed and it's more about their antics and like h and and also there's a very clear formula of like, yeah, maybe it's this person, maybe it's this person. No, it's this person. Which is like great, but like with when you aren't living in that like episode structure, single episode structure, then you can kind of just like, yeah, play more with how that, how it comes to be revealed. Yeah. And I feel like they would do, knowing them, they would do something like so wicked with it. I don't know what it would be, but it would be something like super intriguing yeah and interesting and unique because that's just very much so how they are. Yeah.
00:15:14
Speaker
Okay. We're pitching that guys.
Parenting Themes and Childlike Dynamics
00:15:18
Speaker
If you're out there, we want a limited series. If you need us to come up with plot ideas, we'll get on that. Back to the episode at hand. Okay. So yeah, season two, episode four, chop shop case. We start off with another pretty short flashback, which is interesting because now we've gotten.
00:15:42
Speaker
I think of the four episodes we've watched, like three of them have been very short flashbacks, h which I wonder if that partly had to do with like a time constraint on the run em and like the run time of the episode or something, or if they just felt like they could really condense it into something short. I don't know. But this is our bike racing episode ah flashback. So Gus and Sean are out by the beach on the gravel road behind Henry's house.
00:16:12
Speaker
They're getting ready to race each other, see who can ride their bike the fastest. Henry is the referee because of course he is. I love like, and we've seen this before, but like Henry being so serious and serious in their literal play. It's very cute. It's actually very like endearing, I find. Totally. I could see how as a child you'd be like, what's wrong with you? Why are you taking this? like yeah Why are you taking this seriously? But just the fact that he's like present and there, and and we've talked before of like, he is the parent. Yes, he is the parent. If he like works graves or something, and so he's just there. Oh, that could be. Or whatever, like when they're doing whatever. Yeah. um
00:16:52
Speaker
Yeah, it's just really sweet. Yeah, it's very sweet. And, and also this idea, I don't, maybe we've mentioned this before, I don't really recall. um But this idea of like him taking the things that they take seriously, seriously, like, absolutely not kind of, you know, throwing it off as like, oh, you're just kids, like, go do your kids things.
00:17:12
Speaker
Yeah, I think that's like like when you do talk about like people who are good with kids, I feel like that's always a big part of it, is like treating them but they're like they're people. yeah And Henry clearly does that, and like sometimes he's hard on them, but that also in such a way that like he would be with kind of anybody. i mean yeah Yeah, he he does kind of get on their level in a way that like he wouldn't maybe expect based on who Henry is. Yeah. But he is like that. Yeah. Well, and I think like you said, even being hard on them, like that's someone of your own age that you respect and you trust if they do something
00:17:57
Speaker
that you consider wrong or something that breaks your trust, like you are going to be honest with them. And if you're a good communicator and you know say to them that your feelings were really hurt, like you can't imagine why they would do that to you. And you would have a like you know a heart to heart, maybe slightly stern conversation, setting the boundaries and things like that. And Henry does that to them. like he He at times is certainly more authoritarian, like the very you know firm in what he he believes. But at the end of the day, he is a parent, so he's going to need to do that at times. But he he definitely treats them as if they are just people in his life. like He doesn't dumb down stuff for them just because they're kids.
00:18:38
Speaker
Um, that's very true. Like, like we've seen, you know, times where he gets like, so he gets into like the gory details. of like Oh, yeah. oh which if yeah yeah yeah i Did a certain thing. And it's like, he's not, he isn't sugar coat stuff either. No, he doesn't. And there are certainly times where that's warranted and where that is inappropriate. Right. Yeah. I mean, we're not saying Henry's like a perfect parent, oh oh god know yeah but this particular aspect of his ah how he relates to them is very sweet and yeah quite special.
00:19:15
Speaker
yeah I agree. I think so. So Henry's reffing. He's like, all ready to go to see who's going to win this bike race. And Sean's got a tricked out bike, if you will. It's got like all the bells and whistles. Well, it doesn't have a bell has all the whistles. sent You know, he's got a ah playing card on the back. So it makes the you know sound and Gus just has his, his plain old bike. And Henry goes, you know, he waves the flag, if you will, for them to start and they both start pedaling and they're pedaling and they're pedaling and Guster ends up winning. And the the big takeaway here, Sean's like, man, I had the better bike. Like, why didn't I win? And Henry comes up and says, you know, Gus, focus on the work, doing the hard work. It's not always about like the flashiness and the the entertainment aspect of it, but doing the thing that you need to do to win, um which I think really
00:20:10
Speaker
fits into our narrative very well for it. It does. This really works on multiple levels. Yeah. Because I was like, Oh, another like flashback. That's kind of like cars, cars and also like literally tricking out Gus's car.
00:20:25
Speaker
Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So like, I was like, okay. And then later when we get to Henry's actual attempt at lesson, I'm like, whoa. Yeah. but Reference. Yeah. Like there are definitely layers to this flashback. Yeah. It's something that cracked me up and I don't know why I haven't noticed it up until now or if maybe it hasn't happened up until now, but it was so funny to me to see Gus on his bike in like a button down and cactus. Have they been dressing you like this since you were eight? ah my Yeah, I mean, little Gus is just big Gus, but literally smaller. Which is pretty adorable. It's so yeah. And I love that about their friendship to that age. Yes, they were so different. And yet
00:21:20
Speaker
Just already besties. It's very cute. Yeah, ah they do. They compliment each other very well for as different as they are. They are kind of similar, which I think is isn't nice to see. Like they have a similar kind of sense of humor, but at the same time, like Shawn is off the wall and Gus is like, let's rein it in. So they do. Yeah, they do work together well.
00:21:44
Speaker
Then we're in the police station. Ah yes, they're twiddling their thumbs. Which I love that they're just hanging out there. it It's very, like, that's cute too. we just know Everything's so cute.
00:21:57
Speaker
but It's so sweet to just imagine like they're bored, so they go, let's hang out at the police station. Yeah, I mean, I love that that's the that's where we're at now, is that they can just hang out there. And it's like, lastly, it gives them a hard time or whatever, but like ultimately, they are pretty welcome there. Yeah, no one kicks them out. They're just racing down the hallway. They're right at home, yeah. they right at home do which So then we have ah another very literal reference to the flashback.
00:22:26
Speaker
yeah right away. um Which is fun because it's like they haven't changed. At all. At all. Yeah. Yeah, they decide to race each other on swivel chairs. So they each are- Tell me the main hallway, like the entry hallway. The main hallway. The big hallway that I've been up and walked in. It is amazing that they don't get kicked out. They don't get kicked out.
00:22:49
Speaker
i mean Yeah, it's pretty pretty astonishing. Or that no one walked into them. Yeah, no one's even really acknowledging them. Yeah, and there have been times where Sean and Gus have done wackadoodle things down that hallway. I don't think we've gotten to the episode yet, but I'm thinking the chairs, like jumping over the chairs. Yeah, and my first thought was the mini golf.
00:23:12
Speaker
no
00:23:15
Speaker
ah Yeah, like people are just kind of which important i guess like, yeah, exactly. I love that they're, we're already like how they're just, they're who they are and here they are. pools of the of the station So they're racing their swivel chairs. And of course, as they're racing, they can't just race the swivel chairs. They have to also be like bickering with each other and trying to prevent the other person from getting to the end of wherever the end goal of this is because I don't necessarily think they've even determined. And then the wheels end up getting locked and they end up falling backwards out of the chairs into the middle of the hallway. And of course, right at Lasseter's feet.
00:23:54
Speaker
And I love that a whole little line that Lassie pulls for them. I didn't write the whole thing down, but I just heard the beginning. I'm not fooled by the fact that you would wear grown up clothes.
00:24:05
Speaker
Because let's be real, that's a very accurate assessment. children Like he sees them as children. Yeah. And like the through line, just the way we have moved through the flashback into this race, into them being called children. Like it's just so perfect of like, yeah They have not grown up. They're still the little kids that they are. And then you have this like lasseter being this other figure who's like sees them for what they are. Yeah. And we talk, we've talked about how over the course of the series, like they get a little more
00:24:41
Speaker
stable, they grow up a little bit. And then they also teach each other and like the people around them to like come down a little bit. And that's like, uh, Shawn and Gus's dynamic, but also with the people around them, like Lassie, you know, like they're going to loosen him up a little bit. So like, that's such like a perfect little yeah um moment to kind of show where they are right now, which is quite far apart. Yeah. And even so though, like it's it's a nice change to see Lassie acknowledging the fact that you guys are children.
Case Introduction and Investigation
00:25:19
Speaker
you ah don't really know why you're here but you can stay funny like he is not overly and maybe he's just like all jazzed on twenty one saintscentless but probably but he barr like he's humors them yeah pretty well Totally. He doesn't like kick them out in the way that he often does. He doesn't even really scream at them or anything. Yeah, I know. He's just like, and it it is kind of funny because I feel like that's also part of his like joke a little bit. He's like, you guys are children. Can I talk to you like you're children? like You're not going to kick them out because you can't kick out children. I don't know. They will not learn if you just kick them out.
00:26:02
Speaker
Yeah, it is it's like a nice place that we're at. like We haven't really been here before where they're all they like they're they've kind of reached a like little balance in the team. Yeah, it's nice to see.
00:26:16
Speaker
huh Sean and Gus are looking for a case. Right. And Lassie explains that he's preparing for the 21 less, the 2021 law enforcement ah yeah seminar. Yeah. And he's like, very excited. And I don't know why they're walking out to the parking lot, but they are. And they're just like riffing on, like Sean and Gus are riffing on the name of 21. Yes. Which as as one does. Yeah, and it's so funny, and I'm like, I've never paid that close of attention to like what they're actually saying. yeah like As I was writing it, I'm like, where are they getting this? But it's so 21, and then St. St. 21st, and St. Century, and then less. like It's just so clever, and I like love it so much. but
00:27:07
Speaker
their brains really run at like a mile a minute. I mean, they come up with some really clever things, theoretically off the top of their heads. Yeah. It's very impressive. Yeah. And the way they go back and forth with it too. And like glass sitters just like You know, his head spinning kind of. He'll get there eventually where he, you know, kind of gets the jokes and stuff. But yeah, he's definitely still in the like, what is going on? Yeah, he's not even listening. to yeah yeah And then, yeah, I don't know why they walk out, but they do. I mean, they walk out there because they have to see that his car is not there. Correct.
00:27:45
Speaker
But the reason I'm on the show, who loves me? So yeah, Blasty's like, my car's gone, it was stolen. And then they walk back in and he tells them to act normal. Blasty being normal is so good. So weird.
00:28:02
Speaker
So forced. Like ah addressing every single... Was that the first Dobson? Every one of the first! Oh my god! I was like, I didn't write it down or anything but now we're like talking about it. I'm like, wait! Our first Dobson! We had the watch list, we actually achieved something on the watch list. Yes, let me go check it up. Dobson. So, 204. And it won't be until like literally the last episode. The last. When we actually finally see Dobson.
00:28:30
Speaker
Which, again, this is also really fun. like Yes, of course, this is a bit. But part of the bits in Psych is the point that it's referential. right And this i mean this bit itself is referential to so many other TV shows. like This is a long-standing bit in TV history of like pet referencing people that you never actually see. like For example,
00:28:58
Speaker
a very recent version of this, but on Bob's Burgers, one of my favorite TV shows of all time, Linda references one of her really good friends, Ginger, and you never see Ginger throughout the entirety of the show. So this is like a very, it's a very referential bit in and of itself. I'm thinking ugly naked guy. Yep. And friends. Yep. Not really the same, but the got the neighbor and home improvement. Like you never see oh sure the bottom of his face. Yep. Yeah, it is. it's definitely like the institution of TV. yeah If we are going to do so many bits, we have to do the bit of all bits, which is have Dobson. I wonder if they knew that it was going to be Dobson. like When they said Dobson, they were just like, ah what what name did we say? I bet. and They picked Dobson to stick. I feel like that's, ah again, a very kind of psych thing. like There just happened to be a pineapple on top of the fridge, so okay, now we're going to throw a pineapple on everything. you know yeah I would love to know like in the writer's room, because
00:29:57
Speaker
like building a world of a show like maybe they had like a running list of like the names that they have used for officers, like, so they know who part of this world. Yeah. Good point. And then it like, maybe they just kept bringing him back and then all of a sudden he's in the Malcolm. We did not know until again, the last episode, which is, it's fun to think that nation of yeah I mean, within the world, like the amount of references to him and like, yeah what he means to the characters and stuff. And then for it to be like, Oh, God.
00:30:30
Speaker
When it's also just really fun to think that Val Kilmer's been in the but police station for eight years. yeah but So yes, we get our first jobs in.
00:30:43
Speaker
And i love I love how when they get inside and they're like back to Lassie's desk, Shawn is like, or Lassie's like, did you guys do this? Is this some sort of punking? It's like, punking? It's been a great way to put that. Because most people would say am I being punked? And of course Lassie, is this some sort of punking?
00:31:04
Speaker
Hello, fellow kids. Yeah. Exactly. That's exactly it. I'm hip with the time. And then I love Sean. I mean, like, you know, like, how could you think that? And then we would never do that. And then we turned around and just like, did you? And she's like, no. I love that. Well, yeah. And.
00:31:25
Speaker
especially because Gus like Gus played into it. Yeah, right. They it's like, of course, it wasn't us. Like, no, it's so good. Like they are happy back. Don't worry. Yes. He's a tried or die. No questions. Oh, no questions. asked Oh, that would be a that would be a great t shirt to them in the blueberry. And it says ride or die. Oh, yeah. Wait, okay. This moment just made me think of in the seance when yeah they, when Gus is like, I thought maybe you threw the rock, you know, like to make so too why you right that run that by me. Which is also one of our favorite things to think about, just like them having these little conversations. Okay, I'm gonna pretend to do this. And then you're gonna say that. and then it's these Great moments in this episode where you know that they were planning.
00:32:22
Speaker
yeah Absolutely. So we've we've established that Sean and Gus had nothing to do with this. And Sean ends up clocking that on Lassie's key ring, he has some form of like a valet tag. And it was to a fancy place. I guess he's assuming that you wouldn't valet a car at a non-fancy place. Makes sense. So he asks him, what was he doing there? Was he on a date, Lassie? And Lassie ends up confessing, yes, he was on a date with Polly Smith.
00:32:55
Speaker
We'd never hear of this woman again. what So good because, well, they kind of are skeptical, right? And then last week, Paul has to prove it to them. Yeah, he has to prove himself. He actually went on the state, don't you worry.
00:33:12
Speaker
and Sean says, you know, check the valet from the restaurant. Probably something sketchy going on there. Your car was compromised during that time. Okay. I do love the red coats, accents, the British. The British. Yeah. Probably one of my favorite jokes from this. No. And that's, he was referencing Nigel, who they know in real life. yeah Yes. Nigel St. Nigel. No. Who is also the coiner of the blueberry. If you weren't with us for more than an episode.
00:33:43
Speaker
So we, we end up going to the restaurant and Lassie is very intense. Yeah, well, I love how they get there too, because like, at first when they're walking in from the police station, or into the police station from recognizing that the car has been stolen, I was thinking like, oh, Shawn and Gus are on the case as a favorite of Lassie, but that's not how it goes down. No, no.
00:34:05
Speaker
last does not ask for their help hees commandeers their vehicle their car like right along with him basically who fighting or not back seat no less on the team yeah no yeah relegated to the back yeah and that car like maybe we went a little too hard on him Yeah. Oh, and even coming back to this whole like kid thing, they're in the backseat, Lassie like throws the chair into Sean and they go to write off and Sean goes, I have to pee pee. He's like a small child. really They really play and do it. they do Any chance they get.
00:34:44
Speaker
So when they get to the restaurant, Lassie barges into the back, which at first I was like, how, Lester, how are you doing this? And then I kind of remembered, oh, he is a police officer. I guess he can kind of walk wherever and show his badge. Flash that badge. Yeah, and people will kind of let him. But he is really quite upset about the fact that something has happened to his car. Yeah, he's like rare for him. Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. Very, very upset. And kind of scares the, who I assume is the manager.
00:35:14
Speaker
Yeah. Or like the Maitre D or something. Um, yeah, it kind of scares him in the process, making it seem like he's going to make this big, like a hullabaloo of everything. So Sean and Gus leave Lassie to do his thing because. So many funny moments. I mean, I don't want to like do every single one, but like, why no i the guy is like,
00:35:37
Speaker
But if we could like not make a big to do, of course. So I'm just going to need to cordon off the entire front restaurant and interview every single person in the place and blah, blah, blah. And the guy's like, okay. And then lastly, he's like.
00:35:52
Speaker
he's going to be a problem. He was pretty cooperative. He really was. Yeah, he seemed very nice. That's great. And then, I don't know, I forget how we get here, but Lassie says something about how he's going to make their lives like, he's going to make things so much harder for them. Oh, maybe if they tell anybody. Yeah, I think Carl was stolen. Yeah. sea said You're saying you haven't been trying all this time. Yeah. Which also why is Lassie making such a big deal about keeping this secret. He didn't do anything. He's just embarrassed. But he didn't do anything. Well, he, I mean, he's a crime fighter guy. He got primed. It's embarrassing. And right under his nose in the police station.
00:36:41
Speaker
But I feel like, I don't know. like Again, I feel like we were kind of talking about this, was it last episode? We were saying like red flags that should have like popped up. Why didn't they go strange that someone decided to...
00:36:55
Speaker
Call a police officer's car from right in front of the police station. Yeah, one later, Tran does ask that question. Right. It was like one of his guys got sloppy or somebody says that. Yeah, I think it was Gus. Which I mean, that's really the whole thing is it's too easy. Yes. Yeah, that's true.
00:37:14
Speaker
So Lassie goes off on his own. We go and we talk to the pretty hostess. Yeah. Return of Cassin Hovishan, which I was looking back through like our season one collage to see like when we really, hold on, let me pull it up again. Cause like, cause we were talking about how we hadn't really seen him get all flirty for a while. So we have, what's her name? Trish. Trish. So that.
00:37:44
Speaker
Forget Minot, and then the dating episode is a couple of episodes later, and that's kind of the last we see him really get flirty. for like five episodes, four or five episodes where he's not, yeah. So that really throws him for a loop with the stuff with Jules. Yeah, exactly. I think he really kind of fell hard for Jules in that dating episode and then was like, uh-oh. Yeah. Now it's all kind of awkward. Yeah. And now he's back. But not like kind of though.
00:38:24
Speaker
He's like not really on his game. Let's put it that way. Well, and I feel like something that's, I mean, with this particular episode and this particular girl, it's like he does not care at all. No, no, no. Like it's like he picks her up just because he can. And then when he, when she leaves, he doesn't give it a second thought.
00:38:48
Speaker
Yeah, doesn't really care at all. So maybe he's getting back to like, which we kind of, I feel like talked about like in the beginning, maybe it's like, it's a game to him. And and just like another thing that he's like good at. and so he Did he even really intend to pick her up? That's a good point. Because it kind of felt like, in yes, she's very pretty. And I think that's kind of established by Gus leaving.
00:39:16
Speaker
And Sean being the only one to talk to her as if like he's going to try and flirt with her. But he definitely wasn't like laying it on like he usually does. He pretty much just said, I'm a psychic. And then she was like, you don't have to hit on me. And then he said, no, I really am a psychic because your parents are in town. Yeah, that's true. You're right. Because that's kind of how he would butter up anybody right to get information is like he reads them. Yeah. And then she gave him her number. Yeah.
00:39:46
Speaker
Cause he asked for a name and a phone number of the witness slash suspect. And she's like, okay. It's like, yeah, you're right. So maybe he's not even really. Full Casanova. Yeah. He's just kinda just happens to him. Yeah. Well, I mean, he did just hook up with. Oh, true. Oh, hold on. Lindsey. Lindsey. Lindsey Lycan in the last episode. And he.
00:40:16
Speaker
Maybe he's looking for something more, maybe he wants to put a little more work in. I don't know. Something like ah some more serious. Yeah, I mean. which ah ma interesting note that you're saying more work. It's like the whole second half of this episode. You're right. You're like right. Need to mean more. Yeah. I mean, this girl is basically set up so we can have that joke of like, is this too easy? But maybe, I mean, no offense to her, but I don't know. Yeah.
00:40:49
Speaker
maybe even that is too easy. Yeah. And and you know what, when we do get to Jules in a couple of seasons or at at least a season, her kind of her own confession is like the best things, the richest things aren't supposed to come easily. That scene breaks my heart emotion go time every single time. But you're right. Yeah, that, that through line of You got to work for it. Yeah. You know, and, you know, in the last episode, we talked about kind of the like we were kind of laying the foundation of the motorcycle to the car thing with his work. And now we're doing the same with her confession, like with the ease of and his work. Yeah. So it is it's kind of like these themes are coming up and they're going to play into why he falls for her so much. And like, yeah, yeah.
00:41:43
Speaker
Okay, so I guess not full Casanova shot. He just happens to fall into Casanova shot out of necessity. and She's good with people, which we have talked about, but yeah, he doesn't seem to, I guess now that you say that like be looking for a date just sort of happens. When I wonder if he, he like takes his number and everything, takes her number and everything, just because she could be useful in the future for the case.
00:42:13
Speaker
Hmm, that is my true. And he texts the same day. Yeah. Well, and he's like feeling good because he solved the case. He's like, um, you know, on top of the world. Yeah. So he's like, I'll go see this girl. Yeah. So and then maybe that'd just be the perfect end to his evening. And then, um, and he realizes it. up yeah yeah So he finds out from the hostess that they did have a new guy start yesterday, but he didn't show up.
00:42:42
Speaker
today, which is very suspicious. So Sean asks for the valet lay person, the person who didn't show up today, their name and phone number. And he traces that phone number to like an abandoned lot by a like big warehouse, essentially in the middle of nowhere. And we get to see Sean on his bike again, like the third time. i Which is like actually really cute. um It's nice to like be reminded that he Yeah, that he's out there on his bike. That's his means of transportation. Well, and it's, you know, it's nice to see it every once in a while, the bike, because I think also not seeing the bike is a reminder that Sean has like a group of people that care about him. Cause when he's with Gus and the blueberry, like he's there because the two of them are a unit and they traveled together and like, they care about each other. They want to make sure each other's are okay.
00:43:42
Speaker
But when he's by himself, then he takes the bike. like yeah he said yeah And even standing on the bike, the bulk of that scene is him on the phone with Gus. Even though he is on his own, it's like he can't be separated from Gus. No, of course not. Gus and him, they like they're together in their souls. they're like you know people When people talk about soulmates, I feel like they typically mean romantically. But I feel like platonically, Shawn and Gus are just soulmates. They were meant to be in each other's lives.
00:44:12
Speaker
Oh my God. And on this phone call, we get one, like another little bit that we're going to get a bunch of times, which is Gus, I'm not going to talk to you. right down too So funny,
00:44:23
Speaker
which ah is fair. We will talk to you. Um, but yeah, so like Sean says that he's at a warehouse and Gus, we don't get Gus's side of the conversation, but no based on Chuck's responses, Gus is very excited about the warehouse. And like, he's like, is it the warehouse?
00:44:42
Speaker
This movie or this movie or this movie? Which is just so funny. So funny. And Sean's like, no, none of that. And lo and behold, inside the warehouse is the chop shop that they were looking for. And I love the scene in the office, in Vic's office, where Sean is divining this chop shop.
00:45:07
Speaker
He can't just say chop chop because one of his top 10 visions for sure. Oh, for sure. He's talking about parts, body parts, all over the place, fluids, spewing, and they're like, oh my, ugh, doing that space is like, disgusted. And then he starts- He's a serial killer? Yeah. I can see the victims. Chevrolet, of course. No, of course, don't do it. Look at me, we're too young to go. Like, the way he says it is so funny. It's so funny. Oh, we're too. And then, yeah, just
00:45:41
Speaker
every There's so many like different levels that he brings in and like plays it and then he's like wheelie on the chopper bunch and then he's like pauses everything he's like does that mean anything to you and the chopper bunch and then he's like back into it oh my god that's so funny too much too much and eventually Juliet goes oh yeah chop chop yes Yeah, and amid all of that theatricality, he like tore up a printer. my cases like You know you just bought that, right? You just bought that, yeah. I love Vic. like she Humor's him, but she's also like... She is the parent to this crazy monkey circus that we have amongst the four of them. She makes sure that everything gets put back in the proper place, no matter what.
00:46:30
Speaker
so they go to the warehouse and like i said chop shop and seemingly everything, all the evidence is there that they need. No one hit anything. No one was trying to be sneaky. And the guy who is behind this, his name is Wally. He gets arrested. And everyone's like really proud of Sean because he solved it like the fastest case to date or something and they're clapping and they're like, Oh, you know, biggest, yeah, biggest bust yet. Yeah. Deficient his best work. Yeah.
00:47:01
Speaker
And it's very, you know, exciting for the moment. Until we get on the date later that night, like we were saying. And you can tell Sean has this like nagging sensation inside of him. Of man, this was too easy, right? And in the moment on the date when he's saying all these things, he goes, you know, was this too easy? I can't believe how quickly I nailed this. He's talking about the case.
00:47:28
Speaker
But obviously doesn't say that to this girl and this poor girl thinks that he's talking about her and she storms off in a tizzy, understandably so. But yeah, he's he's kind of stuck on this like, maybe I solved the case they wanted me to solve, not the case I should have solved. Which is really interesting because we haven't really had to see Sean in that mode yet.
00:47:53
Speaker
Pretty much he solves the case and everything's over and done with. But here we get to see Sean kind of grappling with this issue of of yeah things being too easy and not, I don't know why I grabbed those, and not having to work its is so hard um to get to get something done. you know It is interesting that like he doesn't see it, but I guess like when he kind of when they do crack that case and Vik is heaping the praises and like everybody's clapping from it, he's also such a showman. like He loves it. Yeah. well you know He's so hard on himself through all of this. and However, there hasn't been a second case for him to solve yet. like it Yes, this was quote unquote too easy.
00:48:42
Speaker
But it's not as if he could have foreseen what was going to happen based on the evidence presented. That's true. Yeah. Like the murder hasn't happened. Right. That's true. Yeah. It's like there's nothing to point to the.
00:48:54
Speaker
like the drug ring, that's like, would be a totally different area. Right. And maybe this points to this idea of like, Sean being a witch like this, this, in this deep intuition.
00:49:06
Speaker
sorry i'm well i'm amazing like This deep intuition that something is off here yeah and no one else seems to think that anything is off. But he's like, no, there's really genuinely something wrong.
00:49:20
Speaker
Which I feel like, unless you had an extra sense of these things, yeah wouldn't necessarily stand out. but I could see how that could have gone five different ways. Well, just because we're like, I don't know what it was, but just like, which comes back to Sean being a witch? And it's like, oh, yeah. Of course. You're right. Like, I've seen it. Yeah.
00:49:41
Speaker
Now, because when you watch it, as an outside viewer, when you watch it, you are kind of like, okay, there's still, you know, 35 minutes left in the episode. Right. and more into this There's this. Right. There's got to be more to this. But being in it, like being in the storyline, why would he not just think this guy is dumb? Yeah. And you know, yeah, kind of is what it is.
00:50:07
Speaker
um unless he's a witch. and yeah Even when he like brings it up to Henry later and like he's struggling with it and Henry's like, oh, sometimes you lose some, sometimes blah, blah, blah. And he's like, no, it was just too easy. And Henry says, well, I haven't had any champagne problems like that. but
00:50:26
Speaker
yeah crack but yeah and But you're right, like he has this innate like knowing. And he did pluck the smile, which is always funny to me. It's always like a little awkward. Molly, criminal mastermind, but has no poker face, apparently. None, no separate, yeah. um But um yeah, he just knows something's off. And the way it hits him is like,
00:50:54
Speaker
in that moment with the girl like it is funny uh yeah yeah it's very and even like when when he's with henry this is way down the line jumping towards the end but when he's with henry and henry's trying to teach him his this like you know serious lesson and shawn is just putting together all of the pieces of this other crime hysterical don't learn a wrong lesson when i'm trying to teach you a right one
00:51:24
Speaker
Which again, like, comes back to this whole like, Henry just does not. like Yeah. and so And I mean, that kind of plays into like, we talk about like the charmed life of Sean too. Oh my gosh, so charmed. Yeah, it is true. Like, well, it's, it's funny, because it's like, it's charmed that he would solve something so easily. But it's also like charmed that no one would see this for what it is except him and like it would come together in the right way. that like He would figure it out. and like the The lesson Henry's trying to teach him is a good lesson. It's the same lesson as the flashback of like it doesn't need all the bells and whistles. It can still be good work or whatever. what What lesson do we think Sean learned from this? If Henry is saying, don't
00:52:16
Speaker
learn a wrong lesson when I'm trying to teach you a right lesson because what Sean is saying to Henry is I needed to work harder at this, which isn't necessarily about, do you know what I mean? Yeah. And now that I'm thinking about it, like.
00:52:31
Speaker
I feel like maybe we're getting at the same thing. is' like If we boil down like that lesson from the flashback to like style over substance, Sean likes style. The case that's solved quickly and makes such a big impact and causes all this praise, like that is more style, but the substance is yes there's more than meets the eye. right So maybe he ultimately does learn yeah the right lesson.
00:52:58
Speaker
Right. Even though in the moment for Henry, it seems like they're having, like they're on different pages, but maybe like in the long run, it's like, it's the original lesson. Right, right. Back to the very, all the way back to the reference of the flashback. Yeah, which Henry calls out in that discussion. He's like, it's just like you're right. You want everything to be, but it's like,
00:53:24
Speaker
ah Sean wants it to be like real. So it's almost like the opposite of the bike. it's like I feel like they're having the same conversation. Just again, they don't know how to talk to each other. So Henry thinks that Sean's learning this like pointless, yeah armed life kind of lesson. Like I don't actually have to work at anything. But really, Sean is saying I needed to work this case more to figure out the heart of it. Yeah.
00:53:51
Speaker
which is what he ended up doing. I mean, really the only reason he solved the case is because he continued to work it. Mm hmm. Yeah. Some three dimensional chess there. There's like a lot going on. All the important stuff happens at Henry South. Truly. That's part of the recipe of an episode.
00:54:10
Speaker
So where we landed was, because we kind of jumped a little bit, but what we landed was Sean at the end of the date. And he goes back to the psych office and he says to Gus, why was this too easy? Like, why did he steal the guy's car? This is when Gus says maybe one of his, you know, members of this gang was being kind of sloppy. And Gus says that he is going to take a weekend to himself.
00:54:38
Speaker
and go to the spa because he won an award. It turns out it was like a year ago, but he's going to go to the spa. He's always busy. Very true with his second job. It is important, like everybody else has got other stuff to do. And so Sean has really left to his own devices, which this isn't really the only time that we see Sean like looking for a case. I mean, or like, or kind of sensing that one is there and trying to get people to buy into it. Yeah, kind of what he's up to.
00:55:04
Speaker
I almost think like this episode kind of necessitated it being Sean on his own because when Sean's with, ah like when Sean
Shawn's Dedication and Intuition
00:55:14
Speaker
is with other people like Gus, for example, he's less focused on the internal self-reflection and more focused on making e quips with Gus. So for him to get through this whole, like, it was too easy. I needed to do more work. I have to figure it out. I have to hit the pavement. Like he kind of had to be by himself.
00:55:34
Speaker
Or I kind of think he had to be by himself or else maybe he would have gotten distracted by you know food or something. Who knows? Yeah, that's true. It's like he had to go really like back to basics. Yeah. So he asks Vic if they can reopen the chop shop case. And I love that Vic was like, you don't get to decide that. I get to decide that. So I was like, please. And she's like, again no, no one thinks that this needs to be open. But I do love that she says something about like, we would need something to open it up. Like she doesn't totally shut him down, but she's like, you know, kind of like bring me something. Right.
00:56:15
Speaker
Which I like like because I do think Vic ultimately is very is similar to Sean in that like she really does care about like getting yeah to the truth of something. But she has to deal with more, which I think we've talked about before, it's like she has more against her. yeah um to like or more politics to contend with and like rules. and yeah yeah um Whereas yeah Sean can you know go off on his little investigation. So with that in mind, how do we think Sean and Gus get classified in the world of
00:56:54
Speaker
law enforcement. So for example, what I'm thinking is they're consultants, right? but They're only technically consultants when they're on the case. So in it in a situation like this, where she's saying, go find me something, but I'm not opening the case, are they technically like, quote unquote, police sanctioned? I mean, I, and I don't think she really says, go find me something so much as she says, like, we would need something. Which is essentially saying go find me.
00:57:21
Speaker
which I think they kind of do a lot is like Sean will go off unpaid, which right right much to Gus's disagree. Like he kind of does that a lot where he's like, because it's so important to him to get to the bottom of something. So I don't think there's anything official going on. Okay. At the moment. But as soon as he produces something,
00:57:46
Speaker
Oh, okay. And I guess because technically speaking, from the police point of view, they don't actually know that Sean is going and doing anything. Right. Sean can go places, divine something, and then they don't really have to worry about logistics. Right. He's not investigating. Right. Spirits are talking to him. Right, exactly.
00:58:16
Speaker
so i guess that because That's really what I was worried about, like the the logistics of allowing someone to go and investigate without them being police sanctioned. we Yeah, we can't venture into that because he's never allowed to do what he does. Right, but also they don't even know that he's doing it, so it doesn't matter anyway.
00:58:31
Speaker
i mean Yeah. um me Much later, we get into like we will get into the consequences of some of his ah techniques, which is bound to happen. I know. And part of what makes the show so good that we we do get to see that down the line in the consequences.
00:58:50
Speaker
what is but like I mean how they must like break episodes. Like we are seeing Sean up against like different foes so far in season two like we had him. What was the second episode? The dinosaur. Oh yeah. Okay. So to outlandish, everybody doubted him. The last episode, somebody who was like outsmarting him, this episode.
00:59:14
Speaker
Um, nobody believing, I mean, kind of similar, I guess, to the second episode, but like just nobody believing that there, there is more case to solve. Like we're really getting into, um, obstacles for him and.
00:59:29
Speaker
Yeah, I guess li we don't really get into the consequences until like in later seasons, but which I feel like makes sense because he can't really get in trouble for that kind of stuff. Yeah, he has to get him yeah even the, you know, when it, when it starts to kind of backfire on him.
00:59:45
Speaker
I guess when it when it does backfire on him, it's like ah of his own doing, I suppose. Totally. So he kind of undoes himself. Yeah. And when those things do come up, it's like, how has this never happened before? like yeah It's funny that they even allow, it's like the one I'm thinking of is the one where it's like a mob.
01:00:07
Speaker
guy kind of like he has like all these small businesses. Yeah, the shoe store. Yeah. Yeah. And like there's pictures of Sean investigating in a room and it's like, how has this never happened before? It's amazing that they even go down, like they open that door because it does call into question how this has never come up. never yeah But but yeah they do wait a long time before they open that door. Yeah.
01:00:32
Speaker
But it's kind of like, so I heard once on one of the commentary videos that I watch that in create like some movies, right? Like movies and and movie sequels and maybe third movies or fourth movie, right, whatever. the The goal or what makes a good sequel or a good addition to a franchise is that you expand the world in a way that makes sense. yeah So if you expand the world, but it doesn't really make sense with like the character arc of the first movie, it's not gonna feel like honest to the original source material. So I think what Psych has done kind of series,
01:01:09
Speaker
series season over season is add to the world in a way that feels honest to the prior season. like it It makes sense that now we're going to get to the point where there is going to be some problems or we're going to start to face some pushback, whether that in his own powers or for other people. right And then it is going to make sense that eventually there will be consequences and this will catch up to him because this can't go on forever ray as much as we love it to. like That's just not the way of the world.
01:01:40
Speaker
So yeah, I think part of what's great about watching the show is that it all feels like it fits very well me together. Like the, again, the series arc, the series arc, and then the season arcs, like all kinds of, you know, puzzle piece together very well, even if they weren't necessarily intentional, which now I question all intentionality after the scary sharing episode in Goochberg. Oh my gosh. Well, yeah, I mean, sometimes you get a happy accident. Yeah.
01:02:08
Speaker
um But yeah, i i mean I think that totally makes sense. like The stakes just keep getting higher. And I think like to really tell this story of this character of Sean, we have to get to that point. And like like the main thing that is that we have to everybody around him has to learn the truth.
01:02:30
Speaker
Yeah. And like that's like the ultimate stakes. And so like when we get to those episodes, it's like that's like serious. Yeah. And they do it so well. Yeah, they do. And the I think the the in doing it so well, the the reaction, even of each character, I feel like it's very, very well played, if you will. Good stuff. We'll get there one day. One day.
01:03:00
Speaker
eight years from now. Well, maybe not. We're moving it relatively fast. Yeah. We're doing good. Yeah. So Vic is like, you know, we need something else. oh yeah So Sean goes and visits Wally in prison. And this is where Sean has a bunch of questions for him because he's a little confused as to how he just like left everything out. He stole car from a police station. And Wally is just like, no big deal. You know, it justice was served. It happened. It's fine. Which is, you know, kind of a strange
01:03:39
Speaker
ah perspective, I suppose. Not typically what we're going to see. Evolved. Yeah, very evolved. um But Sean's not going to push it too much. He's kind of confused, but you know, whatever. And I just loved Wally's characterizations throughout this episode. It was really fun. like his whole what Legally, as he throws around.
01:04:04
Speaker
And Jeff didn't see us. People's burden. This is so fun. Yeah, and I think he, the actor, I think he did a really great job of like playing into the kind of wackadoodliness of psych. Yeah, both him and um Don G are both really fun, like heightened people. Yeah, they're so great. and Like I could totally see the two of them being in cahoots. Totally. Yeah. Those two exist in the same world. Yeah, yeah absolutely. So John's like, ah John, Sean, Sean, I'm not going to get anything from this guy right now. So I'll sign out, I'll leave. And he clocks that some guy named Johnny G has come three different times to see Wally.
01:04:57
Speaker
And that seems kind of suspicious. He's the only other person who has come to see Wally. So he looks him up and finds out that he has like an auto body shop that tricks out cars and does all this other kind of fun stuff for um people who really love their automobiles. So Sean decides to crash Gus's spa weekend, because of course he can't have all the fun by himself.
01:05:22
Speaker
Yeah, he needs Gus must bear witness. Yes, Gus must bear witness indeed. And Gus in very Gus fashion is like annoyed with Sean for ruining everything for him and doesn't want to go with him until I got that the masseuse that we wanted, Gloria, not able to see him and the masseuse he now got Kelly is in fact, not a lady, but is a very buff man. And Gus does barely not want to be touched by a very buff man. So they rush out of there and decide to go look at yeah Johnny. We definitely have some like, not fun, but like some interesting like toxic masculinity like games in this episode, even as like, Gus pursues this
01:06:09
Speaker
conditionally, I don't know, a clichedly feminine like activity, but it's like it's got to be it only a certain way or yeah it's too girly. Or too threatening. Yeah. I mean, this is something that we've talked about now a couple of times with the show. And I wonder if it's something that is going to progress along the series. Like I wonder if maybe their understanding of like masculinity is also going to get a little bit more nuanced. Yeah, yeah I mean, it does feel very like 2007. Very, it feels very like kiddish. That's true. Yeah, like,
01:06:50
Speaker
cooties kind of yeah exactly. Yeah, i can't have a man touch me if I'm a man. That's weird. heres He's a masseuse. This is his job. But but yeah, cooties kind of exactly. Yeah. And like, and then you say that like kiddish in that same scene, because I was thinking like, this was also very like childish when, and Sean is like, says he went and visited Wally in prison. And, and Gus is like, you went to the pen? Yeah, joint we type clink. Like there's just, they like revert into these like little boys and they're like so excited by it and stuff. And so there is, yeah, like, and and the episode started with that of like how these are children in many ways. And so you're right, there's like very not evolved ideas, not like, yeah not like Wally. No, very true. And like, it's kind of fun too, as we've talked about before, it's
01:07:45
Speaker
fun to see the juxtaposition of that against like Henry, this older male figure who really doesn't seem to care. Like just kind of does what he wants and understands that because he's a man doing it, it makes it masculine. Like it doesn't really matter. Um, so it'll be interesting to see if they kind of fall in line a little bit more with. Yeah. And it is funny too, because like, if you just looked at those people lined up, you would not think that Henry is the most like evolved of them.
01:08:15
Speaker
But he is. it's like And he's older. And like as you grow up, you do like yeah worry less about that. Your hang ups just kind of, hopefully, fall away. And like you worry less about what people think and stuff. But they are clearly so caught up in it. And they're only... I mean, they're young. yeah They are young. like I forget how young they are because I think they're younger than us at this point. Yes, they are.
01:08:36
Speaker
Mind boggling. They're like 26 or something like that. I think that's what we picked them. Wow. Yeah. They're in like, maybe they were like 29. I think we did this math before. Did we? Are they our age? They might be like right about our age. Okay. Still. Yeah. They're young. They're young. They are still pretty young. Yeah. So they've got, they've got time to develop. So they then go to Johnny G's.
01:09:02
Speaker
Because where else would they go? And of course one needs a cover when going to and out of one shot. Which I love. So Sean must like, okay, let's backtrack this because that car is done. Like it has had a lot of work done. It has been at this spot. So Sean stole the blueberry.
01:09:22
Speaker
yeah i said And he took it in and like timed this perfectly so that they would be there to pick it up. Which I guess that's what he went to Gus so that they could go pick it up together. Right. Yeah. I mean, this must have been a rush order though. Cause you're right. A lot of stuff was done with this car and Gus was gone for one day of this weekend, not even. Yeah. So they are very efficient here at this auto body shop. Yeah. And Johnny G is like so friendly.
01:09:48
Speaker
Yeah, he's so nice. He's so nice to Sean. Like I wonder if Sean like paid like extra or something. Yeah, could be to get yeah, fast results. Yeah, could be. And Sean introduces Gus as Ovaltine Jenkins. And then Johnny G's like, what up? Oh, like he's so adorable.
01:10:13
Speaker
I love it. Yeah, they tricked out the blueberry. If you didn't get that yet, they tricked out the blueberry. It's got like yellow flames all along the side of it. Ridiculous. Yeah, and like the stereo system and yeah, super extra. Very much so. And of course, Gus has to say his quintessential line. This is a company car, Sean. Is that the first company car? Wait, is it? No, no, no, no.
01:10:40
Speaker
um Oh, yeah, because we've had like boy cat in there and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he references boy cat. Yes. that Was not a boy. Was not a boy. Boy cat Girl cat.
01:10:58
Speaker
um poor boycot That was funny. Oh, and I love when Johnny G is like, that's fresh to death and stuff. And then Sean's like, that is fresh to death. Like it reminds me of his character from the first read. It just is so funny.
01:11:14
Speaker
He just pulls, you know, he pulls whatever personality, whatever yeah character he needs to in the moment. What a goof. What a goof, indeed. They take the blueberry away. Gus is like, I'm not driving this ridiculous thing. Make Sean drive it. And they end up getting pulled over by Buzz. But before they get pulled over by Buzz, Sean and Gus actually end up switching seats.
01:11:42
Speaker
Because a car full of cute girls drives by and compliments the car. So Gus is now okay with the car. Tricked out. He wants to do the flirting. Sean got to do a little flirting. Of course. So they switched seats and then Buzz, quote unquote, pulls them over, but they were stopped at a stop sign. So.
01:12:04
Speaker
Just, I guess, he's pauls i mean stop the car. Yeah, he went over to the car and um asked him for license and registration and everything. And Buzz actually has with him a canine in training mauler.
01:12:21
Speaker
They're like, what a name. That is an intense name. That is a very intense name. And Mahler's barking all over the place. He's like not happy about this car. And no one thinks anything of it at the time. And Buzz just kind of lets them go because we we know them.
01:12:38
Speaker
Yeah, well, and we had some as we've like seen a little bit in the past, but like some very light touch. Oh, yes. Racial jokes. Yes. um Because like, McNabb is.
01:12:53
Speaker
very surprised to see that it's Gus in the front seat, who he knows, and um also like very embarrassed to have pulled them over because he was profiling them. yeahp and a mis She admits he's like a profile. else Yeah, which is like, yeah, and Gus is like, you know, rightfully bit perturbed by that. And, and yeah, and then And then the dog's like barking a bunch and then he makes another little like, he barks at all cars, not just blue ones. um mad nat And then they get to leave. I didn't get that that was supposed to be like another very subtle. I didn't get that. Now I get it. ah Yeah. But I mean, it is like, yeah, very light touch. Like they're not going super deep with these issues, but it's like, I mean, they can't not.
01:13:53
Speaker
Yeah, acknowledge it. Yeah. Yeah. And then we go to Lassie and Jules, which we haven't really talked about them all that much. But they are so stinking cute, getting ready for this seminar. They are also little kids. I just, everybody's a child in this episode. They really are like kids in a candy store. They are, and you know, what it kind of switches because like, Sean is ultimately the only, I mean, kind of the only grown up because he's the only one who's like actually interested in, in like, the grown up topic of, yeah you know, what crimes are going on. Yeah, that's very true. that's
01:14:32
Speaker
Yeah, that's so interesting. Especially because we, like we were saying at the beginning, we have this very clear depiction of Lassie as the adult and them as the kids. And then by the end, yeah they kind of upend it. Yeah, that's fun. So yeah, they're, they're giddy over all these new tech that Lassie and Jules are going to be able to talk about at 21 less. and They've got like a new wave.
01:15:01
Speaker
Well, what do you call it? Bulletproof vest. Thank you. I was like, protective gear. Bulletproof vest. I mean, yeah, I guess it is protective gear. High level, yeah.
01:15:13
Speaker
Yeah. And they're like bickering over who's going to get shot in it because the tech is supposed to be like so amazing. And Vic comes out and goes, stop bickering. You can both get shot. Just sign the waiver. So funny. And they end up getting a but really a bunch of different things for this.
01:15:34
Speaker
yeah which I just find so cute that they're so excited about giving a little seminar about like yeah technology. They're passionate about their work. So passionate. Yeah, you can definitely tell they are, that they just really love what they do, and especially because they want to get Sean using the platform.
Humor, Friendship, and Uncovering the Truth
01:15:54
Speaker
Oh, and there was another um quip there too. Sean and Gus end up coming in, and Sean pulls out the um serial numbers that he got from the time when he was at Johnny G's shop.
01:16:05
Speaker
And they end up saying something along the lines to him of maybe Sean should be the one who puts on the bulletproof vest. And lastly, he's like win-win for me. I get a Sean or you know, it doesn't actually work. And he gets hurt. And I'm like, ooh, ouch. Whoa.
01:16:23
Speaker
Yeah, he has a Sean has another fun vision, producing the serial numbers too, like going through the cuckoo, the cocoa pups. Oh yes, yes! And then like I thought it was cuckoo and then he's like, Sunny is cuckoo for the pups. Like just the way he delivers everything is so funny. Yeah, it's gold really. Yeah. And then we go to Henry's. Oh wait, is that right? Another in the car. My next two notes.
01:16:52
Speaker
are Henry's skull emoji and I'm Gus and I don't know what I was talking about. I don't know. Henry's skull emoji and I'm Gus. What did Henry do after? What you said they were in the car. So they're in the car.
01:17:08
Speaker
And this is when Sean's like, we have to go back there. We have to go back to Johnny G's. And Gus, like the only way we're going back to Johnny G's is if we're going to put my car back to normal. And then Gus pulls, or Gus, Sean pulls just a random gaggle of wires out of the car. They're like very dangerous. And it's like, I think we need to go back to Johnny G's now. Which something I wrote down.
01:17:31
Speaker
in this whole scene was I love the camera angles in the car. Because I feel like a lot of times when we get like car scenes, you know, we just get the outside of the windshield with the green screen in the back. It's like whatever. But you can tell they're actually driving a car and someone's sitting in the back.
01:17:52
Speaker
And they're like, you know, having different camera. It makes it feel again, just very like realistic. Yeah. It's feel very legit. I enjoy it. So because now the car is probably not going to function, Gus says that he thinks he pulled the wire for the speedometer. We have to go back to Johnny.
01:18:10
Speaker
and we end up sneaking into their office and in the office Gus finds super light rims and they are really in there like that long because then Henry calls with some form of emergency and forces Sean I suppose with his tone of seriousness. Yeah, Sean's really worried. Yeah, he's very concerned to go to Henry's house. And the only reason Henry was so urgent was because he wanted Sean to descale a fish. I think that's my Henry school emoji. yeah mean Oh, Henry. And he's like, he's really ribbing Sean. He's like, do you even remember how to descale a fish?
01:18:50
Speaker
Yeah, like it's so odd. Like you call him over to just badger him and like lay into him about his fish scaling ah you yeah scaling skills. Yeah, As an emergency, it's a very, I mean, it's almost like running into him at Home Depot and being like, come build a wet bar in my living room. Like it's just, true he's a funny guy.
01:19:15
Speaker
It's a strange man. Yeah. And then I think I said, I'm Gus because Gus is just like, Oh, going and running into the house to vomit. And they are like, Henry is hacking the fish heads here. Yeah. We get a little animal rights, Sean. Sean says, yes yes um you made me do this as a kid who didn't believe in animal cruelty. I think something something like that. something to that effect Which in real life, James Verde, Rob, you guys, it's a very passionate
01:19:46
Speaker
advocate for like adoption, adopt, don't shop, that kind of stuff. as it' awesome So, you know, i love to see it. Yes. Very good. Yeah. I like the peppering in of that. That's very nice. And then we get Henry yelling at Sean for learning the wrong lesson, which we already kind of deconstructed.
01:20:07
Speaker
And really what he learns in all of this, or what he pieces together in all of this, is that Johnny G is smuggling drugs. We had the light rims, we had the dog barking at the car, and Sean pretty much puts together that they're stuffing drugs into different parts at the auto body shop and then putting it on cars that people don't know about, and then stealing them later to take the drugs out of it.
01:20:33
Speaker
So they head back to the shop with Johnny G. I suppose to confront him? Yeah, Especially for them. Yeah, they don't usually do that. But I guess in this case, it doesn't really matter because he's dead. yeah Lucky for them, I guess. Lucky for them, yeah. um Yeah, he's been killed by an overdose of nitrous oxide, which is laughing gas. And I love that whole little scene where So they find Johnny G in a car that he is inspecting, where he was inspecting, I suppose. And they open the door to like double check that he's dead. Before they open the door, they're screaming, because dead guy. And then they open the door and they start laughing hysterically. And it takes a couple of seconds, but then Gus identifies it as nitrous oxide, laughing gas, and how an overdose can you know kill you in large quantities. Yeah. It is a great like psych moment of like really bringing levity to murder. Yeah.
01:21:30
Speaker
And their laughs are, like, chaotic. They are really over the top. And even Gus, I love the one shot of Gus. He's, like, laugh crying almost. His face is, like, really distressed, but he can't stop laughing. So good. Just such great performances on both their parts.
01:21:50
Speaker
So they have to call in the police. The police come in and take the body and everything. But the boys also go to talk to Wally because they're figuring out that maybe he was kind of just the front man, but maybe he wasn't just the front man. Like maybe he had a little bit more to do with this because he has a very convenient alibi ah being that he was in prison. Like what did he know about these? Because at this point, OK, all they know is that Johnny G visited Wally.
01:22:20
Speaker
Yes. Did, did Wally already say that Johnny G was like the mastermind or no, they haven't talked to him about Johnny G at all. Right. They have kind of asked him like, why haven't you posted bail? Why are you staying? but i feel like They haven't gotten like, they haven't really pieced together that Wally is involved in this yet. They're just like,
01:22:40
Speaker
what, like figuring out the connection between the two. And so like asking like wallet what Wally knows about Johnny G's other, or Johnny G's criminal activity. And then Wally is kind of like, he's the main, he's the mastermind. I just, I just work here. I'm just the front guy. Right, right. And this, this is when he goes, the relegated. Yeah. Ask him the question. He put me to the side. Relicated. Yeah, you're right. So they're trying to figure out Wally's, I guess, intentions.
01:23:09
Speaker
And I do love when Wally leaves and puts his fingers out of the glass. And they're just like saying, I like don't know what to do. And then Gus puts his fingers out of the glass. So funny. Well, and the first time Sean went to, he did the same thing, but with a pound. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Sean was like, when am I am i supposed to? Oh, so great. And you get a little, another little smile from Wally as he walks away. Yeah.
01:23:40
Speaker
little sketch. And then they've kind of figured it out. Yeah, that he's connected to it all. Yeah. Cause my next note is, well, oh, it's when they're sitting there and they're whispering on the phone to each other, even though there's no video on the other side. And Gus is like, wow, he was in prison. And Sean's like,
01:24:00
Speaker
Yeah. He made sure of that. Convenient. Yeah. that Fun. That's a good line. And then they're like, uh, let's go. This is weird. And they go to see Lassie and Jules. Yes. Oh my gosh. Which is like also really kind of cute that they went to the presentation. I mean, they got to get them, but it is funny. They wait for them to be done. Yeah. They, they do not. I mean, they do. Sean is sitting there watching yeah while Gus is getting the yeah address.
01:24:27
Speaker
Yes, of the yes of where the deal is going down because they know that there is one correct that there's some big drug deal going to go down. and I loved at this little presentation. I love the the, you know, pictures, whatever they're playing on the board. Just the two of them doing things. that Like, I mean, we talk about like, trying to get sitting in the car and planning what they're gonna do. But like, imagine Lassie and Jules, like,
01:24:54
Speaker
getting into costume and taking their pictures and planning what slides they're gonna need. It's so adorable. Just so, so cute. And you know they were so excited about it the whole time. Yeah. And when they're done and Jules claps. He stands up and claps. Oh my god, they're just, they're too cute. And it's really like, this is like, Lassie and Jules are really being friends. like Yeah.
01:25:19
Speaker
Yeah, like we haven't really seen that I don't think. No, not really. I think we've got like glimpses of it like with the hug. and right Yeah, it's like building on itself. Yeah. And this is like the first they're like really having fun together. Yeah, I feel like lassie's really let his guard down. Yeah. Well, they've kind of found common ground because like we said, like they are very passionate about what they do and like why they do it. And um this is like a It's not work. Like it's not their day to day like solving crimes, but it's like adjacent. And so like it's a good space for them to get excited about the same thing and like have that common ground. So yeah, it's really cute. And, you know, really very sweet on Lassie's part because Lassie was invited to give this speech. Oh, he brings Jules into the whole thing. Like even lets Jules get on the page. Yeah.
01:26:15
Speaker
so sweet god they're cute they are they're very cute while the presentation is going on it is funny when gus runs in with the note and he's like i got the address or whatever and shawn looks at it and he's like this is in the middle of a field let's write that down which that's a running gag Yeah, things being on the back. yeah I thought the same thing. Yeah. Like with the, did we get D's nuts yet? Yeah. I feel like we get that a couple times. We've got a couple. D's. Yeah. Yeah.
01:26:56
Speaker
um Okay, and then Sean interrupts everything. Yes, then he was fine. and Is it before he jumps up that the, which is like a funny, it is a great like, end to this arc of Lassie and Jules doing, got to hit the mic. At least once, yeah. um But like, of Lassie and Jules doing this presentation, the girl standing up and being like, we've already seen this all on CSI, like that is a very,
01:27:25
Speaker
I just feel like that's, that's comedy, you know? Like I'm just seeing like, they're so excited. They're so happy. They've worked so hard. And then it's like, you just under cut the whole thing. yeah um And yeah, it's it's really solid.
01:27:41
Speaker
Yeah. well And I feel like too, that's totally something you would hear someone say in real life. Yeah, totally legit. Yeah. Which I do like that, like psych lives in a world where yes it is it is not CSI. Like they do not have this kind of technology that we are accustomed to seeing on TV. Yeah. I think we kind of talked about that before. Cause I think I mentioned Castle before, which also is like that. Yeah. Um, which I, yeah, I think it's fun. Yeah, I agree. I, well, I think it allows for
01:28:13
Speaker
more people-liness, if you will. Yeah, definitely. Because there needs to be, like, someone needs to figure something out. Someone needs to go and do something instead of just throwing it in a machine. Another machine told me, you know? Yeah. So I think it's kind of fun. She does it before, before the divination, the divine. I think so, yeah. Because then... Yeah. Then he does it and she's like, a psychic. And they're like, oh, and then, and then I love Lassie's like, oh, yeah.
01:28:39
Speaker
Totally policing. We use all tools that we can, or whatever. And the Barber Police Department. yeah So he just wants to look good on his whole presentation. Yes. And I love Sean's. Tell me spirits of cutting edge law enforcement technology. It's so good. And I love the whole magnetized bit. I thought that was just so funny. And he's like getting in every one space with these clever bit water jugs. Oh my gosh.
01:29:08
Speaker
Yeah. And he ends up like going to the computer and typing down the location and they run off. And I loved Lassie's line. The girl's like, can we come with you? He was like, yes, stand out front. We'll come around back and grab you. So funny. Too much. So they they end up going. They end up getting there. Pursuit driver guess again. Yes. Love a good pursuit driver guess. And they get there to the drug deal.
01:29:33
Speaker
Somehow miraculously, the blueberry is the first car in the lot, which- He's the best. He is the best. Best time to do it. It's true. It's true. And we get another wonderful- And it's all souped up. That's true. Maybe there's some nitrous inside of that. I don't know how cars work. Who knows? That makes sense in my knowledge of cars. And we get a really another great nutshelling here. Wally kind of tries to get himself like wiggle himself out of this of not being culpable to whatever is happening. They're just doing a business transaction. You know, whatever. And Sean obviously knows that that's not all that's there. So which is like the whole thing. There's more than meets the eye. The style over substance. It's yeah in the car. It's on what's underneath. It's all coming together. Oh, my God.
01:30:30
Speaker
so this episode is like crazy like i feel like once again on the surface it seems very simple but there's actually like way more going on underneath wow just like the case oh my goodness our own minds right now blowing our own minds indeed Oh, so to to prove his point here, which this whole little bit I thought was so much fun. I love it. I love the talking cars. So cute. It's so good. It's kind of like the chips. Like it's just fun. Yes. Like the poker chips. Like it's just cute. And it's I love Sean
01:31:07
Speaker
like befriending inanimate objects. There's something very sweet about that. Very sweet. I agree. um And it kind of it makes sense too, with the earlier flashback that we got of him like identifying the car's names when they're being murdered. Yeah. Now he's identifying a lot of things. Yeah. They are Yeah, they're real victims, too. They are, yeah. This is, you know, really hurt steeped down. Yeah. We find that our talking car, this time is Bessie, of course, and there must be a bit with Bessie. Bessie is a Mustang, but can't be a Mustang because Bessie is a lady, so Bessie must be a filly. Gus has to identify. stated that Yeah, of course, because but ah best Gus knows all.
01:31:59
Speaker
Uh-huh. And he, you know, listens to Bessie, tell us all about what happened. Turns out, Bessie says there's something in the wheels. And inside the wheels, shocker to no one, we find some drugs. Mm-hmm. Don't know which drugs, but I don't really think it matters. so Yeah, like a powdery substance. substance, yes. And yay, the the day the day has been saved. Yay. And Wally gets arrested for drug dealing.
01:32:28
Speaker
And murder. And murder, yes. Although, yeah, he does say something while he passes some comment about how the murder, probably not going to get the murder charge to stick because he had lit up an alibi or whatever, but definitely going to get the drug deal to stick. So he'll be off the street regardless. Molly knows his stuff. He planned this well. Yeah, he totally did. Totally did. Well, we were saying, yeah, he's like he like used a bunch of legalese in there. Yeah, he like studied up. He did a research, yeah. He wanted to be prepared.
01:32:57
Speaker
And is that it we go back to our spa day and oh yeah close out that story, which is more on the same. It's like they can't have a couple's massage, which Sean is like, yeah, let's go. And Gus is not not about it. No, he has some growing to do. Yes.
01:33:16
Speaker
What a, you know, I really wasn't expecting this episode to be so. Me neither. Yeah. And it totally like revealed itself as we went along yeah because like with my notes, I wasn't really thinking that deeply about it. Me neither. Yeah. This is why it's fun to chat about these things. It is. Like see a little bit more of it as we talk. Yeah. Okay. There were a few lines that I wrote down that I don't, care I just want to mention them because they're so funny. Okay.
01:33:42
Speaker
when they're at the chop shop and they have moved Lassie's car because that's part of it too. Because that's how they get into it. You know, Lassie's car was stolen, they move it and they're like trying to figure out where they moved it. And Gus is saying he has a better ah sense of direction. And Sean's like, Gus, you have the bearings of a wounded bumblebee.
01:34:03
Speaker
So funny. So quaint. would humy but just The stuff that he pulls out of his head. Yeah. Preposterous. So funny. And then when they're at the psych office and Gus is going to go to the spa and he's talking about the blind masseuse. Is it with you and the blind? You were obsessed with that.
01:34:26
Speaker
that sculptor who made a bust. Gus was like, that was Lionel Richie in the video for Hello. He's like, I that song talking in my head all day now. Do you imagine Sean remembering that as Gus?
01:34:44
Speaker
And then they reference Lionel Richie again later, which is fun. Just a little runner. And then I thought another great, just like excellent Karen delivery. Mother Kristen Nelson moment was we don't divert department resources for personal whims. I know, of course not. And think those were all Yeah, those are all the ones. I just didn't want to not mention them. Oh wait, there's another good one between Shawn and Gus about Gloria. I think it might be when they're at the spa and Shawn was like, why, why, why are you going to see, have your masseuse with Gloria? And Gus goes, she can't see me. And he goes, I know Gus. He's, she's blind. She's
Episode Reflection and Tease Next Episode
01:35:30
Speaker
like, no, she's busy. Oh, Shawny boy. Hit after hit.
01:35:37
Speaker
Yep, but were we're getting into the lack of doodliness, that is. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. It really is. All right, well, our next episode is, and down the stretch comes murder. Oh, I feel like this is a very, like, staple. Agree. And I don't, I I don't know. It's so funny that we have these just like feelings. Yes. And they're consistent across like with each other. But but it's like, yeah, how do we articulate why? Yeah, I yeah, I don't know why. But it's a very like, well, and it's interesting, because in this one, I, I at least remember some of the but maybe I remember the okay, I was gonna say I remember some of like the backstory. But maybe part of the reason why I remember some of the backstory is because it
01:36:29
Speaker
relates to the case. Like they talked about the kid that used to bully them yeah oh and we learned that like Henry likes to go to the track and like all those other kinds of fun little bit. And maybe that is part of it. Like when everything is like really cohesive, like it really feels like yeah episode.
01:36:46
Speaker
um And another thing that because I'm like thinking of 65 million years off, which was our other one that we're like, this is a cornerstone episode is like maybe like the involvement of Henry. cause Oh, maybe he is there.
01:37:01
Speaker
um And they do the intervention and all that stuff. And like, that's all really fun. And then in this next one, they're like at the track with Henry. Right. um And so and maybe not even just like Henry specifically, but just like the whole gang being kind of a part of it yeah together. Yeah. Whereas like in other episodes, it might be like, you know, we drop in with one character, right like it's not like a unit, like even this one, everybody's kind of on their own adventures. Yeah.
01:37:30
Speaker
until they come together at the end. Yeah, very true. I wonder too, and we'll have to maybe watch this one because I don't... What other ones did we say were like, cornerstones? Scary Sherry. I feel like Scary Sherry was the first one that we really said. yeah And then 65 million years off and then this upcoming one. I wonder too, if part of it is almost like the outlandishness of it, because that feels very psych-esque. Like the, you know, saying that it was a dinosaur and then them uncovering a dinosaur. This next one being about like, blow darts.
01:38:00
Speaker
yeah you know yeah I mean, the next one, it is really like an interesting case. Yeah, it's really fun. It is fun. And like, there's a lot of different players. And it's kind of, yeah I think it surprises you in a way that maybe not every case does. Yeah, I would agree. Who's all if involved in everything and like how they figure it out. So like, yeah, maybe, I mean, it just maybe just all works, you know? and that Yeah.
01:38:27
Speaker
Got that special stuff. Yeah, absolutely. and and you know this This episode that we just watched,
01:38:36
Speaker
I feel like is a very... How do I put this? The episode that we just watched, I think, is a storyline that we could have watched on another procedural, like a top shop shit episode of something. hu yeah It probably wouldn't have panned out the same way because obviously not the same characters.
01:38:52
Speaker
But that idea of cars being stolen and drugs being stuffed in them. Even the twists of Wally put himself in jail so that he wouldn't be out for the murder and stuff. That's a familiar twist. Right, right. When the next one's like, not really. Yeah, you don't really expect that. Yeah, you're right. It's a lot. A lot to the next one. Yeah. The Blood Arts, for example. Yeah.
01:39:19
Speaker
