You call, you said you want to do Dexter. I'm like, Dexter's laboratory. I'm not doing fromage. You know, the little kid, and that's awesome. So I got my Dexter outfit. Your dress is DD. This is great.
00:01:22
Amelie

00:01:25
Jo
I'll get my science thing out.
00:01:28
Amelie
you
00:01:28
Jo
What?
00:01:28
Amelie
You made a mistake. I say to you, i wish my kids watched more 90s cartoons.
00:01:29
Jo
Dexter.
00:01:36
Jo
Yes.
00:01:36
Amelie
Jude.
00:01:37
Jo
And you said you want to do Dexter. Dexter's Laboratory. We're talking about this. So I got the whole 25,000 seasons of Dexter's Laboratory. I watched them all.
00:01:47
Amelie
no ju
00:01:47
Jo
From he was a little kid to a little kid. The Omnit Dude from Maj. The Dee Dee. You're dressed as Dee Dee. I love it. Perfect outfit.
00:01:55
Amelie
No, dude, dude, dude. I said, yes, I liked Cartoon Network as a kid during the 90s, and we were talking about the cartoon and everything, and yes, we did mention Dexter.
00:02:02
Jo
Right. Yes. Right. Right? Yes.
00:02:07
Amelie
But I talked also about Dexter the serial killer.
00:02:11
Jo
He's not a killer. He's a kid. No, no, he's little fucking kid. He's a kid. He does experiments and stuff. and
00:02:19
Amelie
Yes, but there is Dexter, Dexter from Miami.
00:02:24
Jo
Oh.
00:02:25
Amelie
Dexter, kidding Dexter.
00:02:26
Jo
That makes more sense. Yeah, yeah. Well, keep killing me like this. Oh, yeah. Okay. So you, right.
00:02:36
Jo
Okay. yeah I could just watch 85,000. But when I bought these for, I don't know. So whatever. Sure. I just spent the last three days watching Dexter's Laboratory.
00:02:49
Jo
apparently know And you were dressed as Didi. Why are you dressed as Didi? You got the hair. You got the shirt on.
00:02:55
Amelie
I think I'm just your spiritual old sister at that point.
00:03:01
Jo
Yeah, well, there's a joke here
00:03:02
Amelie
I do think it's a good point. You're Dexter. You're very intelligent intelligent and very secretive and ginger and really, really smart.
00:03:05
Jo
Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
00:03:11
Amelie
You're genus. You're an official genus. And me, I'm cute.
00:03:13
Jo
Oh, thank you.
00:03:15
Amelie
I used to be blonde and blue-eyed and all cheeky, cheeky, a bit dumb, dumb, but not too dumb, not that dumb. And I'm very, very long, just like Diddy.
00:03:25
Amelie
So I think at that point, we're both in our room.
00:03:26
Jo
I know.
00:03:30
Amelie
Like, yes, we're kind of like Dexter and Diddy if we think about it.
00:03:35
Jo
Okay, so you're trying to save Grace. Thank you. okay ah ah Okay, folks, not Barry nor Dexter's Laboratory, but apparently we're doing Dexter's Resurrection now.
00:03:47
Jo
We'll come back to Barry later, but because I finally got someone to watch Dexter's Resurrection.
00:03:55
Jo
And honestly, I think it was my... Okay, two things. One, and I think we both agree on this. Whoever cut the trailer should be fired. That trailer is dog shit.
00:04:03
Amelie
Oh, mon Dieu! Oh, mon Dieu! Oui, oui, oui, oui, oui. So, for little three ladies and gentlemen, Joseph came up to me one day and said, have you watched The Last Dexter?
00:04:15
Amelie
And I said, oh, I would like to watch The Last Dexter.
00:04:16
Jo
Right.
00:04:18
Amelie
And I was mentioning Dexter as a teenager because there is a series one season was made about Dexter, the beginning of the scene,
00:04:27
Jo
right
00:04:27
Amelie
And I saw some clip, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, no, no, no, Amelia, no, no, no, not this one. Dexter is alive. So keep in mind, Joseph liked to trick me. He liked to troll me, to make jokes, lie sometimes just to trap me in situation, tell me stories. And I'm like, yeah, shut the fuck up.
00:04:48
Amelie
He's dead, blah, blah, blah. No, he's not dead. like, dude, no, no, no, no. I assure you, he's not dead. So I'm like, i Are you sure it's not a new theory where he's a ghost?
00:05:00
Amelie
Right? And he's like, no, no, no, no. Dexter, Dexter is alive. Go on internet. Check it out. So i check I checked it with my husband because we were like, wait a minute.
00:05:07
Jo
spoiler Dexter's alive
00:05:13
Amelie
He doesn't sound as usual. He's not joking. He seems pretty serious. I don't know why I never heard about it. I don't know why I didn't see the advertising for for it.
00:05:26
Amelie
I don't know. So me and my husband watched the trailer and we were like, no, no, no, no.
00:05:33
Jo
Yeah, no, it sucks.
00:05:34
Amelie
no
00:05:34
Jo
The trailer is absolute horseshit.
00:05:35
Amelie
Too much A-list, too much, ooh, we are a group of people who kill people, ooh. And I was like, yeah, no, no, no. My husband and were hoping to see the follow-up of Dexter, but from the point of view of the son.
00:05:55
Jo
right
00:05:56
Amelie
And we were hoping for Dexter is dead, killed by the son. The son goes to New York. The son becomes himself a killer or something else. I don't know.
00:06:07
Amelie
And see his life because he has an interesting life. His father was a serial killer. His mother was killed by Trinity. He killed his father. He's by himself.
00:06:19
Amelie
He speaks very good Spanish. He speaks very good English.
00:06:22
Jo
got a GED.
00:06:22
Amelie
He's really, really, really, really smart, and maybe wants to become a corpse. Maybe he is himself a killer. Maybe he sees his father as a ghost, like in the previous series, Dexter was seeing ghosts of different people.
00:06:35
Jo
Yeah. His dad.
00:06:38
Amelie
No, his dad is alive and he goes to New York. And Joseph really insisted and said, no, no, no, no. Please, believe me, watch at least one episode.
00:06:50
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:51
Amelie
I'm sure you're going to like it, to love it. Forget about the trailer. I beg you, forget about the trailer. Stefan lying next to me after a long day, and he watched one of the clips, grabbed my arm and said, watch that.
00:07:05
Amelie
And it's a conversation between Dexter and the twin brother, the killer twin brother. And they have a conversation.
00:07:13
Jo
yeah
00:07:14
Amelie
And the conversation, the way he talks, hides him. I'm like, I'm intrigued. So I say to Stefan, look, I'm going to watch a series. and I'm going to give it a go. We have a little talk about business and stuff, and you said, okay, so you're going to watch Dexter.
00:07:30
Amelie
I'm going to watch Dexter, but I'm going to give the three-episode trial. If I like it, I like it. If I don't like it, I won't. I may.
00:07:37
Jo
You will hate me forever. Yeah.
00:07:39
Amelie
yeah But, you know, because we're friends, because I like to debate with you, because I really like to listen to your point of view about series, storytelling, how to write a series, etc., how to adapt,
00:07:50
Jo
yeah
00:07:52
Amelie
a series from a book to cinema or series of character development, etc etc., I say to you, because you're my friend and because I really enjoy doing podcasts with you and you did so good to me to do the podcast of Barry because I like Barry, I'm like, I'm willing to watch the series even if I don't like it like this.
00:08:12
Amelie
I'm going to shit on the series and you're going to defend the series. It's going to be fun.
00:08:15
Jo
Right. It would still be great to listen to and see.
00:08:16
Amelie
Right.
00:08:18
Jo
Now, however, she left one thing out. between Before she watched it, I gave a spoiler because she's like, you know, Peter Dinklage is in it and they know this girl is in it and this guy is in it.
00:08:30
Jo
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. like I'm like, oh, I got some you know Dexter's alive. No, no, not Dexter's alive. like is you know At least Deb is dead. like, no, no, no. I have some worse news for you.
00:08:40
Jo
Deb's alive too and they're married. And Peter Dinklage is now the kid. Yeah. So we had the whole fucking trajectory for you.
00:08:52
Jo
Just fucking around. At some point you knew I was lying about that though. Which is nice.
00:08:59
Amelie
Yeah, because it's really interesting to see Dexter what path you can take. Like, I wasn't wrong to say i wish we would have a theory with the point of view of the sun, you know?
00:09:07
Jo
Yeah.
00:09:14
Jo
I don't think he tested well. Honestly, i don't think I don't think a lot of people want I think you're of the minority for that. I think if this was Dexter just to continue adventures of his kid, they're not going show.
00:09:30
Jo
i mean, I'm glad the kid's in But I don't think he tested. Honestly, I don't think he tested high enough to really carry a show for himself. But he's integral part to this show, and I think he works great as the character of it.
00:09:46
Jo
I'm not sure. It's like Jack Tripper moving out without the two girls. No one's watching one's company.
00:09:55
Jo
No matter how good the actor is.
00:09:56
Amelie
You're right. Yeah, it's more like the story. You can see two people who really like Dexter. So Stefan watched Dexter when he was a young adult back in Australia.
00:10:03
Jo
Yeah.
00:10:07
Jo
Yeah.
00:10:07
Amelie
And I watched Dexter with my dad. And it's a good memory because my mother, who really liked police, dark, disgusting police BBC series, refused to watch Dexter.
00:10:23
Amelie
And my dad was surprised because like, I assure you, Isabelle, you don't see the corpse. I assure you, Isabelle, we don't see the guy killing. Like there is always a plague with fruit, with meat, with, you know, salsa music. Like it's Miami, it's very colorful, it's very funny, haha.
00:10:42
Amelie
Yes, the guy is a killer, but compared to your BBC series, Isabelle, it's nothing. So it was really funny for us to discover Dexter,
00:10:53
Amelie
very colorful guy, ginger dude who lives in Miami with a lot of Latinos and people from different backgrounds, walking in the puss police and being a good killer, like the guy who killed only sales killers because of the cold, you know.
00:11:05
Jo
All right.
00:11:08
Amelie
And now we have this series who is very dark. I told you, I watched, so I watched the three episodes. Dude, I binged the season.
00:11:17
Jo
There you go.
00:11:17
Amelie
I binged it.
00:11:19
Jo
Nice.
00:11:19
Amelie
And I immediately called you, messaged you, and I said, dude, I watch it, I love it, the dude who created the trailer should be fired, should be guillotined, like, putain, ça, catastrophique, like, really bad.
00:11:29
Jo
I agree. i agree. And no, yeah, we'll back, we'll back a little bit. You're asking like why you didn't know it existed because you're a huge fan.
00:11:41
Jo
And i I think that's part of Paramount Plus. Paramount Plus, I can't name any of the shows, but if I ever see a publicity for Paramount Plus on my Fire TV, I'm I'm like, oh, i like I like this show. I like this show.
00:11:58
Jo
why Why don't I know about them? Because Paramount Plus apparently can't advertise themselves for shit. They can't advertise to save their lives. They can charge money for absolute garbage for most of the time and then put out a gem for a season, another gem for a season.
00:12:13
Jo
But yeah, that's why probably never hit to you because their advertising is probably the same department who did the fucking trailer. Honestly, it's probably the same group and they're crap. They're garbage.
00:12:26
Amelie
That's terrible. That's terrible. Like, for example, I knew about Dexter, the young version, like, boom, boom, boom, everywhere.
00:12:26
Jo
They're horrible at PR.
00:12:34
Jo
Yeah. That still Showtime, I think.
00:12:36
Amelie
YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, yadad, yadada. I would go to some channel to check some some publicity to check, should I have Macs or Netflix?
00:12:47
Amelie
Because Netflix, they're expensive now. It's luxury to have Netflix, right?
00:12:54
Amelie
Right. So you have poof, Dexter, young generation, poof, Dexter, young generation. Have you seen Dexter, poof, young generation? You know what I mean?
00:12:54
Jo
Yeah.
00:13:01
Jo
Yeah. Right.
00:13:01
Amelie
But the old one, no. That's why when you were talking about Dexter, I'm like, yeah, yeah, watch it. He died at the end. No, it doesn't die. Stop joking, Joseph, like he died.
00:13:12
Jo
right
00:13:13
Amelie
No, no, there is a new serie. How is it possible a serie who makes millions of dollars with a hero we turn on who is known, known, even the typical French guy, no Dexter, right?
00:13:33
Jo
Right. Yeah.
00:13:34
Amelie
Well, we don't hear about it.
00:13:37
Jo
yeah Well, that's part of the failing, i'm not of the show, but again, of the network of Paramount. It's fart par of park part of their failing of it. But we are going to be thankful the show exists.
00:13:51
Jo
And we're going to discuss the show. Because there are some questions that the show, in your mind, like how do they do the show like this when Dexter's, you know, we see him get shot. How do they do it?
00:14:02
Jo
And they explain it relatively well. You have to kind of like, oh, it was like, hey, a man, nice shot. Filter song, right? His kid kills him, shoots him, boom.
00:14:14
Jo
His kid thinks he's, you know, kid moves to New York, borrows ways can get from the from the backwoods area, and tries his best to do his own life, right?
00:14:25
Jo
Gets a GED, meets a girl, works slash lives in a hotel, So he does all of this correct. He's trying to get on the correct path, which is kind of how we met him in the first time.
00:14:37
Jo
He was trying to get on the correct path when he meets Dexter's dad. Sure, he might have some flashbacks about his dad and shooting his dad, but who hell wouldn't? it's It's very, those realistic moments. Those are human moments.
00:14:50
Jo
And then for Dexter, we find out he's in a coma.
00:14:54
Jo
And because it's very cold outside, it's still, know, whatever scientific mumbo jumbo is, No one would give it a pass. Like, yeah, yeah, sure, it could happen. Because we don't care. Just by the time we see Dexter in a coma, our level of disbelief is kind of like, eh, F it.
00:15:11
Jo
Why not? Sure, sure, sure. MacGuffin. He had a magical, ancient Native American burial ground, so it brought him back. Whatever, who cares? He's back. That's all we wanted.
00:15:23
Jo
That's wanted. And the way he comes back through the coma is brilliant because you get to see dokes again. You get to see everyone except for one person missing. I guess they're not talking anymore. Who knows?
00:15:35
Jo
And you see all these characters who still look pretty good, by the way. but The guy who plays dokes, I'm like, is that CGI? Because he looks a little bit older, but almost exactly like himself from like 20 years ago.
00:15:50
Amelie
I felt the same thing. You can see he's older, but you need to really pay attention.
00:15:53
Jo
yeah
00:15:54
Amelie
But when I was watching his scene, I was like, come on!
00:15:58
Jo
Right. And right and then then like, oh my God, is everyone back in this one? Holy wait crap. No. And then you realize, worst case scenario, right? Dexter's dead.
00:16:11
Jo
The end. now second worst case scenario, he's in a coma. They bring him back, but they know who he is. So as soon as he gets out of the coma, he's going straight to calling them straight to jail and be executed, really.
00:16:24
Jo
But no, his ex-girlfriend, the cop, Angela, she does him a solid by saying, oh, no, no, it's Dokes. It wasn't really him, the Bay Harbor. It really must have been Dokes.
00:16:39
Jo
And they do with some kind of like a little circular thing to get him released. And the first thing that the law actually says to him, do you want to press charges against her?
00:16:51
Jo
He's like, no, man.
00:16:54
Amelie
Yeah, because when you watch some clips on YouTube, because I cheated, was a bad girl, I was a very bad girl.
00:17:00
Jo
Yeah. Oh, Nani.
00:17:02
Amelie
watched some clips on YouTube before watching the series.
00:17:02
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:17:07
Amelie
but I will pretend I didn't. I'm like, okay, so now they know he is serial killer and he's running away, right? No, no, no. You see Angel Bastista coming to the hospital to see his friend.
00:17:22
Jo
yeah
00:17:23
Amelie
and everything is alright and fine and the sheriff come and he's like I'm sorry but I have to follow the law okay I'm now I'm now the marshal and he look at Dexter and he say do you want to press charge against da da da and he's like oh no no no it's done I forgive oh my god you so good you so good da da da yeah yeah sure sure sure I'm very happy you're feeling better
00:17:35
Jo
Yeah.
00:17:39
Jo
I know.
00:17:47
Jo
Yeah.
00:17:51
Amelie
But what I like about that theory even if he got shot and miraculously out of the coma, he's still in pain.
00:17:58
Amelie
He does radication and and he cannot lift his arm. I thought about you. He cannot lift his arm.
00:17:58
Jo
Yeah.
00:18:04
Jo
Oh yeah. Thanks. Dick. For anyone who doesn't know, I can't really lift my left arm anymore.
00:18:09
Amelie
And he's doing radication.
00:18:10
Jo
I'm going through it right now.
00:18:13
Amelie
Yeah, I love it.
00:18:13
Jo
No, I had paralysis yesterday or sleep, not paralysis, paralysis. I had sleep paralysis a couple of days ago. So it kind of made worse.
00:18:19
Amelie
You're a good fan. You even imitate your issue.
00:18:21
Jo
Look, I can lift it. So I can kind of lift it. There you go. I can do a Y I can do the Y I can do like, it's good. can almost do a field goal or a three point. I can't quite do the three point yet. Yeah.
00:18:31
Amelie
Oh, God.
00:18:32
Jo
Only took me three months.
00:18:32
Amelie
So it's really good to see that.
00:18:39
Jo
yes
00:18:41
Amelie
They did a good introduction with with with ah what's going on and everything, but Even when you look at it, I love Dexter, but I'm still wondering, why did he not arrest the guy yet?
00:18:50
Jo
yeah
00:18:54
Amelie
Like, I'm sorry, like, it's, like, fuck, he's really lucky.
00:18:55
Jo
Right. He should be chained to the bed. Yeah. Yeah. And it turns out, and that's another thing. we we get the first one, the medical one. that was That was important.
00:19:06
Jo
And then we we we forget... how probably implausible, not impossible, which is implausible it is for him to be alive because how they start their show with like the Dante's like, or even the Doctor Who back in the day, the flashback of the life and he's going through hell right and everyone's in his mind.
00:19:25
Jo
So we forget because of the acting. We forget it. We forget like, oh yeah, we we let it go. Like, sure, he's alive. And then the next thing they have to do or hurl is like, he's been in a coma for a while.
00:19:37
Jo
He should be chained to his bed. Well, you know, back in the day, when they're taking to her bed, and once he wakes up, that's something that, you know But he's not. And it it gets explained away really quickly.
00:19:49
Jo
But again, because of the acting, and because we just really want to see this character, we don't care. It could be like, yeah, all of our sheriff stuff burnt down, and all our evidence on you went up with it, so we have no evidence on you.
00:20:05
Jo
So you're free to go, sir. It could have been that. i'm like, yeah whatever. It works. It doesn't matter. It's just two MacGuffins in a row. That's all matters. Do sex, Mackinac, actually.
00:20:16
Jo
More likely. Yeah. Like, boom. You're alive. Boom. You're not being wanted. But he is wanted. Because once we see, as you call him, Batista, Batista,
00:20:28
Jo
I always think of him as the gardener from Burn Notice. Like once we see the gardener from episode six of Burn Notice, I'm like, oh my God, that's the gardener from Burn Notice. What is he doing a gun?
00:20:39
Jo
As soon as we see him, like four people get that joke. As soon as we see him, it's like, oh, he's there not to be nice. And, you know, he's not being nice.
00:20:51
Jo
He's trying to set Dexter up.
00:20:52
Amelie
Yes.
00:20:52
Jo
He's like, oh, by the way, since you're alive, I took away your death certificate. And Dexter's like, oh, he's not doing that because he's nice to me so I can vote again.
00:21:03
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:21:04
Jo
He's doing that so he can prosecute me because he can't prosecute a dead person.
00:21:09
Amelie
Yep. And he waiting for him. He's very insistent to see him
00:21:12
Jo
Yeah.
00:21:15
Jo
My very good friend.
00:21:15
Amelie
And he wants to... to ask him questions, say, the fuck is going on?
00:21:19
Jo
Yeah.
00:21:20
Amelie
What about that person, that person, that person, that person? And yeah, he's in a mission to avenge people.
00:21:28
Amelie
Like...
00:21:28
Jo
Yeah.
00:21:31
Jo
witches Which is weird because he was the one that oh ble probably was the nicest to Dexter throughout the entire show.
00:21:47
Jo
you know always believed him, always had his back, was a stand-up guy. Probably for the entire time. And then, yeah.
00:21:54
Amelie
For me, he is his friend.
00:21:57
Jo
yeah and Yeah, he was friends first.
00:21:58
Amelie
My favorite episode with my dad when I was watching Dexter, the original Dexter, is La Passion. Dexter has a problem with his girlfriend and they go out in a bar and they get drunk and so he's like, hey, it's time to go back home and everything.
00:22:08
Jo
Thank you.
00:22:15
Amelie
And like, What do you do if your girlfriend is like that? La passion. What do you do when your girlfriend is like this? La passion. But if she doesn't want to give you kisses and be more intimate, la passion, you go down on her.
00:22:28
Amelie
He gets drunk, he grabs Batista, he goes back to his home, see why with in baff baffra he he leaves Batista and she's like, what are you doing with Batista here? Oh, we we went a banter and everything.
00:22:43
Amelie
She's like, oh, I forgive you, Dexter. You're not aware, but he doesn't live here and anymore. He's like, wait, what?
00:22:50
Jo
Oh, yeah.
00:22:50
Amelie
No, we separated.
00:22:50
Jo
Yeah.
00:22:52
Amelie
he's like, okay, sorry, Dexter. So Dexter grabbed Batista, hop, and he's like, do-do-do-do-do.
00:22:56
Jo
yeah
00:22:58
Amelie
I'm like, fuck, he's strong. So that was very funny because me and my dad, we found it funny. The guy divorced and he's like giving advice to to the psychopath saying, la passion, la passion.
00:23:10
Amelie
Yeah.
00:23:11
Jo
Right, because they're both living, that's exactly it. They're both living two different lies. Dexter's lie was he was trying to figure out people so he could interact with them.
00:23:15
Amelie
Yeah.
00:23:20
Jo
And then, you know, and he's the serial killer in a police clothing.
00:23:20
Amelie
Uh-huh.
00:23:23
Jo
And then Angel's lie was he is very passionate. He could be very passionate, but all that passion didn't work.
00:23:32
Amelie
Yeah.
00:23:33
Jo
It's, you know, there's still, there's the underlying humanistic component of his relationship that fell through. Right.
00:23:40
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:23:40
Jo
So, yeah, I think that's a good, and right. And they're, they're friends. Exactly. Like they weren't, he wasn't just friendly to Dexter. They were actual friends. So this comes for a very long time.
00:23:48
Amelie
Yep.
00:23:51
Jo
And then I think Angel was suspecting that Dexter may have killed Maria, but it really turns out, you know, i think Deb shoots her, right?
00:23:57
Amelie
yep
00:24:00
Jo
Relatively, man, whatever. It's been a while.
00:24:02
Amelie
but So this is what happened. When you watch the original Dexter, dogs who went to war, who's got PTSD, who was an issue, have violence issues.
00:24:07
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:18
Amelie
And nobody believed him. And he sensed Dexter is a psychopath. He's like, I don't like you.
00:24:18
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:23
Jo
Because he's an a-hole. Unless we don't believe him. Yeah.
00:24:27
Amelie
you have something beyond your eyes. Because I kill people, the sense. And I sense you're a bad guy.
00:24:35
Jo
Right.
00:24:36
Amelie
And I'm going to prove it because something is weird. But because he divorced Maria, because he's very violent, because he's a dickhead, because...
00:24:46
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:46
Amelie
He's got a bad reputation.
00:24:46
Jo
Right.
00:24:48
Amelie
Nobody believes him. And because Dexter is a nerd who does splish, plush, ploof, and he's very cute, and he gives donuts, nobody believes him, right?
00:24:58
Jo
right
00:24:59
Amelie
Then, Docs get killed by see done accident by one of Dexter's girlfriends, Lila, who is a pyromane. So Docs die. Everybody thinks Docs is the bearable killer, or blah, blah, blah.
00:25:17
Amelie
Maria has doubts. And she goes to Batista and said, I think, I believe it is Dexter. Because docs told me several times, I have proof, this is what happened, na-na-na-na-na-na, check the CCTV, etc.
00:25:35
Jo
Yeah.
00:25:36
Amelie
And I don't remember exactly how, but she realized something is wrong. Then she hired Dexter, she gets interview with her, with him, And Dexter trapped her.
00:25:49
Amelie
He steals from the evidence lab wallet.
00:25:53
Jo
Yeah.
00:25:55
Amelie
And he plays the the thumb of Maria.
00:25:58
Jo
Fingerprints. Yeah.
00:26:02
Amelie
So when Deb and the Asian guy, I forget his name. He's really funny.
00:26:11
Jo
Yeah, well, know but that's okay.
00:26:12
Amelie
in The Asian scientists come back
00:26:14
Jo
He'll come to us. Right.
00:26:16
Amelie
Is that like, no, no, no, we check the blood, we check the blood. Yes, the blood is from that person, but it's it's an evidence. It's from far, far away in the time. And what about the wallet?
00:26:26
Amelie
Well, there is your DNA on the wallet. And she turned to Dexter and she's like, you dropped me. And that's when she knows. That's when she knows. So she has dealt, etc.
00:26:37
Jo
Right.
00:26:38
Amelie
She got killed by accident. She got killed by accident. She got killed by dead. We both know that.
00:26:44
Jo
Right.
00:26:44
Amelie
And in the new series,
00:26:45
Jo
And Angel thinks that Dexter did it to bring it back to the new show.
00:26:50
Amelie
no, no, no. Angel talks to Dexter and said, as we know, unfortunately, Maria got killed by a gang member. And Dexter is like, yeah, yeah.
00:27:03
Amelie
And in his mind,
00:27:03
Jo
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:27:04
Jo
You think that, no, you you think that Angel is being honest with Dexter saying, as we know, Maria got killed by a gang member? No. and Angel knows that Maria was shot by someone else.
00:27:11
Amelie
no.
00:27:13
Jo
That's someone saying Angel knows. But he thinks Dexter killed her.
00:27:16
Amelie
Yes. Yes, but in the series, it's like sitting as we know, unfortunately, Maria, who got killed by a gang member, and Dexter's like, yeah, yeah, she had thinking you were the Beaba Butcher.
00:27:18
Jo
That's saying. That's what I'm saying. that what's saying Yeah.
00:27:28
Jo
Yeah.
00:27:34
Jo
Yeah, and Masuka's the name i trying to think of as Masuka.
00:27:38
Amelie
Thank you.
00:27:38
Jo
So, yeah, you're welcome. So, yeah, we see this scene in actual Dexter resurrection. First episode where Angel and Dexter are having this moment and Dexter's still in bed. He's just, but as Amalia was saying, it's it's very nice to see he's not absolute Superman.
00:27:59
Jo
He is rehabbing. He is like, like he can barely walk. you know He's going through a lot of different rehab and just to get better by better by better by better.
00:28:11
Jo
And to see the person who's pretending to still be his friend come in and kind of interrogate him as he's still in a weakened state.
00:28:26
Jo
And that's, you know, he's ah ah he's leading.
00:28:27
Amelie
Exactly.
00:28:28
Jo
Like, we all know that's what happened, right? Why would I believe everything else? As soon as Angel says that, you're like, oh, no, he definitely thinks Dexter killed him or killed her, you know?
00:28:40
Jo
and And you see all of this, and it's and it works because, yeah, they sprinkled Angel in at the last minute for the last New Blood or whatever that that last series was where he gets shot. You know, they they sprinkle him a bit.
00:28:55
Jo
But it works because the characters are memorable and the actors are fantastic. And the writing for the show works. The best writing in the world?
00:29:08
Jo
Maybe not. But far from the worst. Of all the things that could be seen as like a reboot or a s sequel of a s sequel of a sequel of a sequel, this works better than House of Dragon.
00:29:23
Jo
Arguably so. At least I don't need a fucking dictionary to who to see who' which fucking child this is supposed to be.
00:29:25
Amelie
Definitely.
00:29:30
Jo
you know, you actually know the characters and you care about the characters.
00:29:33
Amelie
And what is interesting is the world theory, change of color. When I was talking about the theory to you, I said there is one negative thing for the moment I noticed.
00:29:41
Jo
Right.
00:29:45
Amelie
It's gruesome. Dexter, the original one, you would see, bye-bye, clack, and he would cut to an orange being sliced. This series focuses on your killer.
00:29:59
Amelie
What's the negative thing? It's gruesome. It's disgusting. There is a stain. Dexter is not a good guy. When you kill, you've got PTSD.
00:30:10
Amelie
So all the color of the series is really dark. And what I really like, for example, is the character of Batista.
00:30:14
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:17
Amelie
We all know who is Batista and everything. Batista is old. Batista, mature. Batista, think.
00:30:25
Amelie
There's something really weird about Dexter. He's not naive anymore. And the writing of his character is on point. It is Batista.
00:30:25
Jo
yeah
00:30:35
Jo
yeah
00:30:36
Amelie
We know that. We know years has passed. He talks about Maria, Deb, people back in Miami, you know. But from just this interaction, we set up the plan of he's not going to be your best friend.
00:30:54
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:54
Amelie
He is there to become the new dogs. I know you. I know your origin and everything.
00:31:01
Jo
yeah
00:31:02
Amelie
and know you have a son, etc. I'm from the past and I come to avenge. He became dogs. I look into your eyes and I know there is something wrong about you.
00:31:12
Jo
yeah
00:31:15
Amelie
I don't have the proof, but I'm going to get the proof.
00:31:17
Jo
Right. Which is weird because dokes in Dexter's mind was still dokes, but dokes actually gives Dexter advice of you don't have to be a killing freak.
00:31:31
Jo
You have a higher purpose and it's to take care of your kid.
00:31:38
Amelie
Exactly.
00:31:40
Jo
So even Dexter's mind, who's creating all these hallucinations of the people in his life, and the in the coma in the beginning, realizes that maybe his actual purpose is to make sure that Harrison's okay.
00:31:58
Jo
It's something he tried doing at the end, and I think he kind of like, once he takes Harrison on the kill, he gets kind of muddled. It was a good series, but gets kind of muddled at the end. You see ah ah Dexter in a new way.
00:32:12
Jo
You see Dexter as a actual dad trying to do dad things with dad doubts of, am I good enough? You know, it looks like the kid's having fun. What am I doing with him? He thinks I'm dead. Maybe I should stay dead. I'm out of his life.
00:32:26
Jo
but He's better off without me. He's having all these doubts, and he's wrestling with these doubts in in the first episode. And, you know, he also has to escape from Angel in the first episode.
00:32:38
Jo
Yeah. and And that's brilliant. You see how beat up Dexter really is. He's not the invincible. He's not Superman. Actually, he might be a Superman from James Gunn when he gets beat up a bit.
00:32:51
Jo
And at the same time, it's not just Dexter. We see Harrison's life. We see Harrison's life is actually pretty good. We see him making money. We see him being a, not quite like, it's not like a doorman. What was the position? You work in better places than I have.
00:33:09
Jo
what What's that position Harrison has? Like concierge
00:33:12
Amelie
he No, he pick up a people luggage.
00:33:17
Jo
so So he is a doorman, like a bellhop.
00:33:18
Amelie
He's do man he's a doorman.
00:33:19
Jo
Throw up. But he's not just But he also knows the guests well enough. This is something that Dexter would do with the donuts. He knows the people well enough or it gets to know them and their needs and starts being indispensable to them.
00:33:34
Jo
Like the the rich guy with the watch.
00:33:35
Amelie
yeah When you work in the four-star hotel, you have to anticipate the need.
00:33:37
Jo
All right, guys, with this.
00:33:41
Amelie
So first you start as a doorman.
00:33:41
Jo
Yeah.
00:33:42
Amelie
You can sometimes be voiture also, but you need to know what the person needs. So you would pick up, for example, the luggage, or you would advise, oh, I need to take that to the dressing.
00:33:54
Amelie
Can you help me out, etc.?
00:33:55
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:55
Amelie
You even get sometimes some cigarettes and some stuff. So it can become one day what we call un concierge. Un concierge has the golden key, and they know everything about everything on the city.
00:34:07
Amelie
And they have telephone number and the traditional book. So when you become a concierge and you get the golden key, the previous concierge gives you the golden book. So when you see him walking in the reception and being unbothered by the chef receptionist, I guess he's a chef receptionist who is like, hey, well, that's because you want him to be the best of the best.
00:34:27
Jo
Yeah, and that with the supervisor guy.
00:34:32
Amelie
And I agree with him. When you're on time, you're late. You need to be at the front desk. 15 minutes before the start because you need to pass the information and to help out with the customer and to do the transition.
00:34:48
Amelie
So it's a very good hotel.
00:34:48
Jo
Yeah.
00:34:50
Amelie
And when I'm watching talking with the other and being very gentle and trying to get the most information, etc., good memories. That's what I used to do.
00:35:00
Jo
There you go
00:35:01
Amelie
I like it. I like it a lot.
00:35:03
Jo
go. I thought you would. like that I'm like, that's what I was wondering from your point of view because i thought you would, but I wouldn't know. And that's it. So it's realistic to you. It's a good experience it's good memories for you.
00:35:14
Jo
And it's things that you would actually see. youd probably see a lot of weird stuff at a hotel.
00:35:22
Amelie
Yes. Last time, you were talking during the episode of Barry of me being attacked on the street.
00:35:31
Jo
Yeah. Quink,
00:35:31
Amelie
And you mentioned, ho how do you know it's not a pleasure to just attack people on the street? And I say, no, not at all, not the profile. When you walk in hotels and people start to get used to you, hey, can have that cigarette?
00:35:48
Amelie
Hey, do you know where I can get drugs? Hey, I'm looking for some company. Do you know where I can get some company?
00:35:56
Amelie
Like, wink, wink. You have even in hotel school, professional school, the lingo.
00:35:56
Jo
and going
00:36:06
Amelie
For asking ah company, you ask for a third pillow.
00:36:11
Jo
okay you told me okay hold on hold on for those of the why would anyone know this but you told me that before a third pillow and i think i forgot where it was was somewhere and i think i asked for a third pillow and those motherfuckers bought me another pillow i'm like
00:36:34
Jo
I said a hooker, not an actual pillow. So you're Lingle's third pillow.
00:36:39
Amelie
Duke, a third pillow in France, a third coat.
00:36:43
Jo
Okay. Yeah.
00:36:46
Amelie
I like to speak to the manager or the concierge.
00:36:49
Jo
Yeah.
00:36:49
Amelie
I will need third pillow, please. Or, for example, we can have somebody asking me, hi, I need some company, do you know where to go?
00:36:54
Jo
That's fine.
00:36:59
Amelie
And I can go to the concierge and say, excuse me, room number 202, Mr. Dupont needs third pillow, and the concierge will immediately take care of it. And voila, because some conversation can be, how can I And have the right to refuse to do kind of business or if I don't feel comfortable or everything, I can ask the manager or male reception to take care of it
00:37:13
Jo
Yeah.
00:37:26
Jo
got
00:37:26
Amelie
it. heard a lot. And I saw a lot. And some people, when they get accustomed to you,
00:37:37
Amelie
can ask you or share with you some crazy thing like
00:37:47
Amelie
they can come to you and ask very simply i need some drugs I need some company but sometimes you can see some stuff were not right and i remember one day
00:37:59
Jo
Yeah.
00:38:08
Amelie
I heard scream. I heard scream. Like to I was living in the hotel and I was a night receptionist.
00:38:18
Amelie
In action of being a... I was a listen basically.
00:38:18
Jo
You were Harrison.
00:38:21
Jo
Yeah.
00:38:22
Amelie
A customer called me. reception. Yeah. there is a couple who has a fight in a room. Could do something? Because I need to sleep. I need to wake up next.
00:38:33
Amelie
No, no, no, no. Yeah, sure, monsieur.
00:38:34
Jo
Right.
00:38:34
Amelie
No problem. Bah, bah, bah. I go to the second floor and I hear in French a woman saying, that's not what we agree on. Leave me alone. Let me get out, etc.
00:38:45
Amelie
So what I did is I had the receptionist card, which is a universal one. I do clack, clack, and open the door because things can happen. Suicide, person who's completely drunk, who sleep, and we need to open fire whatsoever.
00:39:01
Amelie
We we need to have access, right?
00:39:01
Jo
right
00:39:04
Amelie
So I bank on the door, receptionist one time, receptionist two times, and there is, I will never forget that guy. The door opened behind me.
00:39:17
Amelie
It's a customer who is there from Monday to Thursday. It's a businessman. And he's like, oh, Amelie, don't bother. It's a prostitute. She knows what she deserves. And I just...
00:39:31
Amelie
open the door, clack, you have five minutes to get the fuck out or I call the police and I will be on the side because she screamed, she yelled for help. And what happened is she is a prostitute.
00:39:40
Jo
Yeah.
00:39:45
Amelie
She agreed to do the thing with a man, but he wanted to do something to her. She didn't agree upon, they didn't agree upon.
00:39:54
Jo
Yeah.
00:39:55
Amelie
She was on the bed like that.
00:39:57
Jo
Oh, no.
00:39:57
Amelie
Do you see what I mean?
00:39:58
Jo
Yeah.
00:39:58
Amelie
Attached. And she was screaming, yelling, like, no, leave me alone, blah, blah, blah. She was really yelling. And people around, instead of either calling the police or the reception, say, call the police. There is somebody who has problem whatever. they just complained because they couldn't s sleep.
00:40:13
Amelie
And everybody knew. All the men knew, oh, she's a prostitute.
00:40:17
Jo
Right.
00:40:18
Amelie
Don't go in, et cetera. And I entered, and I was like, you fuck off. You fuck off. I call the police. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I helped her and everything. I asked if she wanted to call the police.
00:40:28
Amelie
She's like, no, I don't know why, because they're going to arrest me or they're going to not take me seriously you see and everything.
00:40:31
Jo
right
00:40:33
Amelie
at The next day, I spoke to my manager, that the owner, saying this is what happened, etc. And first, he was really upset at me. He's like, you do not enter a room.
00:40:47
Amelie
You would have called the police.
00:40:47
Jo
Jesus Christ.
00:40:48
Jo
Dick.
00:40:49
Amelie
Okay, fair enough. And you don't call the police. You call me first. And then you call the police. And I'm like, yeah, but no, but la la la la, la i you know.
00:40:54
Jo
Yeah.
00:40:57
Jo
Yeah.
00:40:57
Amelie
But there is so many things that happened to me. I could write a book. Like, it's crazy. But when I saw Harrison with the situation he had, I was not going to kill a guy either, you know what I mean.
00:41:12
Jo
what was going to ask.
00:41:12
Amelie
But the situation of she's drunk, yeah, I had that.
00:41:13
Jo
Yeah.
00:41:19
Amelie
Hey, hi, what's your room? Two or five, yeah. The lady here, who is she? Oh, she's my girlfriend. No, no, no, no, no. no no no no no You came to the hotel alone. Who is she?
00:41:31
Amelie
Does she have any ID? Does she need help?
00:41:33
Jo
Right.
00:41:34
Amelie
Is she awake? Is she awake? Just a moment, please. I'm going to look for my colleague. Steven, she's not awake. Take a seat. She's not feeling well. We're going to to wait a bit. You know what I mean?
00:41:45
Jo
that feeling while She's fucking unconscious.
00:41:45
Amelie
Like, do you want to? No, no, no, no,
00:41:50
Jo
Yeah.
00:41:52
Amelie
You who need to inform the reception technically you bring somebody. You see what I mean? Like, oh, this thing you need to keep an eye on, to keep an eye on. the a Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:03
Amelie
And you have the safety of the hotel.
00:42:03
Jo
So that's, yeah.
00:42:04
Amelie
Like, oh, yeah.
00:42:07
Jo
So what you're saying, it's realistic for someone who was intuitive like Harrison, and especially maybe ah ah Harrison's last traumatic event was shooting his dad.
00:42:19
Jo
And before that was like basically stopping a serial killer from killing little girls, you know. but know all that whole entanglement thing. And plus he basically gets his mom killed in the bathtub with him.
00:42:38
Jo
You know, he Harrison had an effed up life, right? So you have all that. And then he's basically trying to do the good thing. You you see him going into a GED. He's proud of it.
00:42:49
Jo
He's proud of passing and studying and passing his GED. He's on his own. He's not asking for any assistance. He's has a ah ah decent... work We'll say a work girlfriend is not his real girlfriend.
00:43:02
Jo
This is his work girlfriend, a real good friend who also helps him out with like this room's open, that room's open, what else is it going to be. And he's building something of a life for him.
00:43:15
Jo
He's great at his job. He takes pride in it. He's keeping clean-ish, as clean as you can get in New York, being that age. And then he sees a girl by random chance, knows who she, you know, talk to her because that's his job, to get information on people so they can have the best experience they can have, you know.
00:43:38
Jo
And knows that she is not with the other guy. Knows that she drank a little too much.
00:43:45
Amelie
Yep. Mm-hmm.
00:43:48
Jo
Knows that she's basically fresh off the bus, as we say. You know, like like a country, basically a country bumpkin situation. Like, oh, geez, fish out of water type thing in the big evil apple in New York.
00:44:05
Jo
knows the guy is a bit of a womanizer, but probably didn't really care because all the previous dates looked consensual. You know, serial sleeper, you know, next woman, next day, next woman, next day, next woman, next day.
00:44:21
Jo
As long as consensual, who gives a shit? This is the first red flag that Harrison's like, I don't think this one's consensual. I think it could be consensual at another time, but she's far too fucking drunk to give consent.
00:44:37
Jo
Like, she's there's no possibility this is consensual, you know? And so that raises the flag for him. And we follow them up the elevator.
00:44:47
Jo
We follow him into the room. And the guy's like, no, I got it from here. something's just not sitting right, not sitting right, not sitting right. And this is where he is his dad's son.
00:45:01
Jo
Harrison confronts because it is the right thing to do. Harrison tries to get her out because it is the right thing to do. The two tussle.
00:45:13
Jo
Harrison defends himself, which is the right thing to do. And then he loses his fucking temper and takes the the back end of the toilet off and smashes the shit out of the guy's brains.
00:45:29
Jo
that That point is no longer the right thing to do. You have to kind of back off. And then what does he do after that? He reverts to what his dad taught him.
00:45:42
Amelie
exactly ah exactly yeah so all the scene where i found myself in that situation when you like what should they do you know what I mean like a
00:45:43
Jo
body.
00:45:44
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:55
Jo
Yeah.
00:46:15
Jo
No, it's...
00:46:15
Amelie
But yeah, people are super weird, isn't it?
00:46:17
Jo
We were talking last episode.
00:46:19
Amelie
Like...
00:46:21
Jo
I think it was last. i don't know. We tape these out of order sometimes. so
00:46:24
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:46:24
Jo
but Whatever the last Barry episode was, and you brought us up today when someone attacked you on the street, and then no one really did anything. Like, at fuck all, right?
00:46:32
Amelie
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:46:34
Jo
And it's the bystander paralysis. It's like, someone else is going to help. Why should I help? Or this someone else's problem?
00:46:40
Amelie
Yeah.
00:46:40
Jo
And then we see things like you going into the the The room with the prostitute. And, you know, basically saving her fucking... If not saving her life, at least saving her from being completely raped.
00:46:57
Amelie
Yeah,
00:46:58
Jo
Because, yes, she agreed to have sex, but not that fucking way.
00:47:01
Amelie
yeah and and we both know if she had go to the police and say, that person raped me, I'm a prostitute, I'm a registrar, etc. hu
00:47:07
Jo
She's going to the jail.
00:47:07
Amelie
People say, well, you know, it's since it's your job.
00:47:09
Jo
Or believe.
00:47:10
Amelie
Like, you know the risk.
00:47:10
Jo
Yeah.
00:47:11
Amelie
And that's what happened. If it was me, they would intervene. And the next day I was like asking the customer, hey, have you heard? Because these people, these men, men over 30 years old, like men, men who used to come to the hotel from Monday to Thursday, going back on Friday to their family for business, etc.
00:47:31
Amelie
These men were all in the same floor,
00:47:35
Amelie
because we were putting them on the second floor to not have the dom dom dom dom of the second floor.
00:47:35
Jo
Right.
00:47:35
Jo
Yeah.
00:47:40
Amelie
And the first floor would be day use. So you would bring your mistress, you would have the first floor, the second floor for people who would come for the week. And downstairs, you would have the people who come just because but they need to rest for a long road, way to holiday whatsoever.
00:47:55
Jo
right
00:47:57
Amelie
Like it was basically the card we would put outside between 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the morning to get a room and sleep. what I mean?
00:48:04
Jo
yeah
00:48:04
Amelie
Well, locals. So these people knew me. These people were there. We hear everything. And they were like, yeah, but if it was you who were attacked, Emily, we would come.
00:48:16
Amelie
We would come, Emily. I'm like, yeah, yeah, but that woman deserve to be helped.
00:48:20
Jo
yeah
00:48:21
Amelie
It's just, ah ah yeah, as you said, in America, I think none none um not my circus, something, something.
00:48:29
Jo
Well, it's, watch, when there there is the bias, you know, like I said, there's a bias center effect, like stuff like that. When I... God, don't know.
00:48:41
Jo
Fucking what? i was a teenager, I guess, in Vegas. I don't remember. It's been a while. It's been a while. And i lived in this place. And the place... i don't think the place exists anymore. it was off Paradise Road.
00:48:59
Jo
and Across the street. If you walk down the street, there would be a strip club on other side, Hard Rock Cafe over here. Like... you would have UNLV, was walking distance to UNLV.
00:49:11
Jo
And at the time, UNLV, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas was paying for my, was paying for my apartment because I didn't want to live in a dorm. was bit of a dick.
00:49:22
Jo
No, i dont know not a dick. I know, just smart, I guess. And i remember, The tour, there's a manager when you sign up for the apartment, they're like, here's the pool, here's the laundromat. It's one of those things. They they they give you a tour of the of the apartment complex.
00:49:42
Jo
And one guy on the tour was the drug dealer. yeah Sorry, the party entertainment person, the party favorite guy. He was a large black man wearing a vest.
00:49:56
Jo
Just a fucking vest and like some shorts with a huge cowboy hat on. it And on either side of him was an attractive fucking woman.
00:50:03
Amelie
He has a style.
00:50:07
Jo
And on the tour, he was actually on the fucking tour.
00:50:11
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:50:11
Jo
And she's like, a this is the kind of like she stumbles but the the party, you know, the entertainment guy.
00:50:18
Jo
I'm like, okay, he's a drug dealer slash pimp. Got it. No problem. But, you whatever. It's Vegas. I get showed up to my place and I'm having a problem. And there's like my place is on the second floor here.
00:50:32
Jo
And then there's a big thing in the middle where it's like a courtyard in the middle of a bunch of shit. And then, you know, other apartments all around the big square. And I'm just like chilling. I'm from Pope. I'm fucking middle of nowhere. You know, I ah come from a small town.
00:50:48
Jo
And I remember hearing cries and, you know, hearing cries and screams from across the down way. I'm like, what the fuck? You know, of the things i just want to get some sleep and whatever.
00:51:01
Jo
And, but then you're like, well, I can't, I can't, I can't. So like this guy was yelling at his daughter, fucking big dude, just yelling at his daughter. I assume it's his daughter.
00:51:16
Jo
And like, okay, as long as just yelling on this parental thing, i don't want to, you know, fuck off. You know, just don't, just fuck off a bit, man. And then the yelling became more than yelling.
00:51:31
Jo
Remember, I'm Gen X. If you get yelled at by your parents, no one gave it. You can get beat by your parents in the store and people wonder what the fuck you did. They would not intervene.
00:51:44
Jo
It was not their fucking problem. And matter of fact, they're probably happy that their parents were beating you because you probably being a dick in the store. That's why your parents were fucking beating you in the store because you were being a dick.
00:51:58
Jo
And they're like, great. I would have done it too, you know? And so when you see this and you hear yelling, like someone's yelling at their kid, I forgot it was fucking 30 years ago by now.
00:52:10
Jo
And you're like, whatever. Domestic, don't get involved in domestics. Keep low. First week in town. Get a lay of the land. And then when I heard the hits, that's when i was like, fuck, I can't get to sleep now. This motherfucker beating his kid.
00:52:30
Jo
So I had to walk down
00:52:35
Jo
across the fucking thing and make it What's the most polite way saying? Make it known really quickly why you shouldn't beat girls.
00:52:49
Jo
And she's just a fucking little 12-year-old kid or something like that. And never had a problem with them again. But my question then, or to answer your your question maybe, is if that was my first week there, that happened with my first week there,
00:53:10
Jo
Why the fuck did no one else, because they weren't fucking new, they were there before I was. Why about the fuck no one else step in?
00:53:21
Jo
As he was yelling at his kid, no one give a shit. if if When I said we can beat, we're getting like slaps and shit like that, but he was like a beating her, man. Like, fuck that shit. Like, no one else stepped in.
00:53:35
Jo
And then some point you realized in adult life, like maybe I made it worse by stepping in. Like maybe like we're not there. He's really going to fucking go off on her. But I don't think she ever exhibited anything but kindness and gratitude afterwards. But I don't know.
00:53:54
Jo
Sometimes things like that just need to be stepped on. You know, and there's just something inside of you. Like there's something that inside of you saying you have to enter the door. There's something inside of me that said I have to cross this fucking crosswalk unarmed because I'm an idiot.
00:54:09
Amelie
Because you were a victim. Because you were a victim.
00:54:13
Amelie
Because you you were a victim. I was a victim.
00:54:13
Jo
Maybe.
00:54:15
Jo
Maybe.
00:54:16
Amelie
We were both victims.
00:54:17
Jo
Yeah.
00:54:18
Amelie
We were the people being beaten up. We were the people who screamed for help and we didn't deserve it.
00:54:21
Jo
Yeah.
00:54:23
Amelie
And people look at you as like, oh, she deserved it, you know. Like this woman, oh, she deserved it. She drank too much.
00:54:29
Jo
Yeah.
00:54:30
Amelie
She knew, she knew.
00:54:31
Jo
yeah
00:54:31
Amelie
You you know, when you go out and party, will say that to my own daughter, you go out and you party. If you drink, there is consequences. If you don't drink, there is consequences. If you do drugs, there is consequences.
00:54:45
Amelie
Remember, with who you go out, be safe, etc. If you have sex, there is consequences, right? So be safe. Okay? Be safe. Of course, there is guys who put drugs in the drink and everything, and that's another kind of situation.
00:54:59
Amelie
But if you drink, drink, drink, be safe and be careful with who you get drunk, right?
00:55:03
Jo
Yeah.
00:55:07
Amelie
Your best friend is often your best enemy.
00:55:10
Jo
Oh, yeah.
00:55:10
Amelie
Wink, wink.
00:55:11
Jo
yeah
00:55:14
Jo
Welcome to life.
00:55:15
Amelie
Yeah.
00:55:17
Amelie
There is people who would be
00:55:21
Amelie
with Harrison and said, she drank too much, her problem not yours. You're not paid enough to step up. If you call the police, you may have some troubles.
00:55:33
Amelie
And often the rich guy are those who have a very bad reputation.
00:55:44
Jo
Yeah.
00:55:44
Amelie
I'm telling you right now, Rich guys have a very bad reputation. We have a sentence in France ah ah saying,
00:55:57
Amelie
<unk> pat sim meson there is no smoke without fire.
00:56:02
Jo
We had a saying in English too.
00:56:02
Amelie
They're rich.
00:56:03
Jo
You guys took it from us.
00:56:04
Amelie
They're rich. They can pay you an abortion. They're rich. They can make you forget everything.
00:56:10
Jo
Yeah.
00:56:12
Amelie
You are drunk. and when you go to the police and you say i want to red keep sure ah ah you sure are you drunk do you remember the name are you sure you didn't consent in France it didn't happen and gentlemenla I'm going to take something very serious please listen up a Frenchman send you an SMS after after agreeing to meet up all to other date and they ask you do you suck
00:56:20
Jo
yeah
00:56:42
Amelie
Do you do sucking? And you said yes. It means you accept concessual sex.
00:56:51
Jo
Wait, what?
00:56:52
Amelie
It is a real thing. I explained.
00:56:54
Jo
What? Yeah.
00:56:55
Amelie
In the 70s, law was passed in France saying when you married and you refuse to give a blowjob to your husband, if the husband push you to give you a blowjob, it's rape.
00:57:08
Amelie
So there is a law who passed in the 70s to say you can get raped by your husband.
00:57:10
Jo
Okay.
00:57:12
Jo
Spouse or rape.
00:57:12
Amelie
because voa you can.
00:57:13
Jo
Okay. Okay.
00:57:14
Amelie
right
00:57:14
Jo
All right.
00:57:16
Amelie
SMS arrive in France, texting, etc.
00:57:18
Jo
Texting, right?
00:57:19
Amelie
To agree we're going to date and I expect sex, Frenchman send, do you suck?
00:57:31
Amelie
Do you do blowjob? It's a way to ask for concessional sex. So you do you do you do sex? Yes, I am going to suck your dick. Yes, I yeah I can say, I don't suck, but we're going to have sex.
00:57:45
Amelie
Okay? That's the way we do. No, no, no, it's very serious.
00:57:48
Jo
but I know, but who the fuck does this?
00:57:48
Amelie
Why? Because it's too... French, we do that.
00:57:52
Jo
French people do this.
00:57:53
Amelie
We do that. Yes, it's completely normal. It's completely normal. We have...
00:57:57
Jo
What?
00:57:58
Amelie
Like, for example, I meet you on the street.
00:58:00
Jo
Yeah?
00:58:00
Amelie
Okay, you're French. We have a conversation.
00:58:02
Jo
Yeah.
00:58:03
Amelie
we exchange telephone number, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:58:03
Jo
We? Uh-huh.
00:58:05
Amelie
We agree to meet, etc. You can send to me the sentence, do you suck? which means are you going to have sex with me? And I have the right to say suck or I don't suck. Because in France, even if I'm naked in front of you and we are in the same room and we have sex, e etc., etc ah I can go and press charges against you as a police to say that guy obliged me to do sexual things who are not normal. Like, for example, dick into pussy, normal sex.
00:58:32
Amelie
Sucking your dick can be rape.
00:58:36
Jo
Okay, hold on.
00:58:36
Amelie
Do you understand?
00:58:37
Jo
We need a whole fucking episode now.
00:58:37
Amelie
Do you understand?
00:58:39
Jo
We need a whole new episode on this one.
00:58:39
Amelie
so go, go.
00:58:41
Jo
So just so I get this right. oh By the way, let me subscribe now.
00:58:48
Jo
Okay, so yes. Spousal rape, I get it. Should be on the books. ah every Everyone should have that as a book. It should be a law. Everywhere.
00:59:00
Jo
So they're saying, the French guy's mind is saying, or maybe the legal system, i don't know. is saying I have it in text form, consent. I have consent in text form.
00:59:11
Amelie
yes
00:59:11
Jo
From two weeks ago.
00:59:12
Jo
It was from two weeks ago. But still, i have consent in text form. first What the actual fuck?
00:59:16
Amelie
like It's very close. No, no, no, it's very close. um So you agree, like, for example, with the 1st September, we exchange telephone number, we talk. Two weeks later, we agreed for a date.
00:59:24
Jo
Yeah.
00:59:27
Amelie
Let's say it's Tuesday and we meet on Wednesday. The guy is going to send you, do you suck? The day before.
00:59:33
Jo
Yeah.
00:59:33
Amelie
To agree for sex. And you have the right to say, I don't suck dicks, but I want to have sex, right? Or I can say, oh, no, no, no, I never suck the first date.
00:59:45
Amelie
So you can openly, you know what I mean? That's the way we do. Like this, if I double back and I do something, inna it can show the text. That protects everyone.
00:59:56
Amelie
That's the way we do. And I'm telling you that, and I tell you that, guys, because a lot of french a lot of non-French women come to me like, I met Vincent, he was a gentleman, and do you know what he sent to me the day before?
01:00:09
Amelie
Do you start? And I say, yes. Are you agreeing to have sexual relationship with him?
01:00:15
Jo
What the fuck?
01:00:16
Amelie
What? Yes! That's the way we do! That's why we French people have cup of coffee and cigarettes before having anything.
01:00:26
Amelie
Why? Because the time of a cup of coffee and a cigarette, we can say, okay, what's the deal? Are you here for the holiday? Are you here for six months? Are you looking for a girlfriend? Are you looking for, I don't know, just the sex?
01:00:38
Amelie
Are you married with kids and you just want to fuck a French? Okay, cool. Let's say 5 p.m. today after work. Okay, cool. Boom, bang, bang, and bam. Yeah.
01:00:47
Jo
What? That's good. Fat of the blowjob? Like, what? What the fuck, man? Okay. So, we learned a lot today. We learned how Dexter came back from the death and how Dexter was not being charged with murder, even though he was a serial killer. And, apparently, how to make a sexual contract through text, in French.
01:01:09
Amelie
How many times it happened to you?
01:01:12
Jo
but No one fucking text me that.
01:01:12
Amelie
You bring a friend home. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:01:16
Amelie
Have you found yourself in a situation where you have a friend home and she wants to tag her that soin-soin and you don't want to tag her that soin-soin?
01:01:16
Jo
used
01:01:21
Jo
Huh?
01:01:26
Amelie
Or you're expecting something but nothing is going to happen? Communication. Like you know.
01:01:32
Jo
Yeah, I usually say, hey. Okay, for example, if Jesus Christ, if for those who don't know me, I think someone called me.
01:01:43
Jo
Did someone call me a whore yesterday? Like, yeah, it fits. Whatever. I think they're teasing or not. I don't know. But I've used this phrase before. Honestly, I used this phrase before on dates.
01:01:56
Jo
We are not having sex today. Straight out. Shit, I might even send it to someone here. You know, i not in the mood, not in the mind, not in the mood, whatever it's going to be. I'm putting the line down. I'm not having sex. This line, whatever, below this line, cool. Anything above it, sorry, not happening.
01:02:17
Jo
Yes, I understand that concept because it's in the moment. Or I'll even tell you advance, I'm not going to. you know So you don't get your fucking hopes up, whatever it's And great.
01:02:31
Jo
Great boundary, right? But i wouldn't even think about texting someone who I've not even dated yet. Hey, do you suck dick?
01:02:44
Jo
Why, you know, like, hey, well, welcome to your reminder. Option, you know, opt in for more texts about sexuality. Press Y if you still agree to suck my dick. No, fuck that. No, fuck off.
01:02:57
Jo
Fuck off and fuck off.
01:02:57
Amelie
That's why we French people have the reputation to be all sensual and lovey. We're not lovey-dovey.
01:03:03
Jo
Fucking little rapist.
01:03:03
Amelie
we ready We're ready dry really really dry.
01:03:05
Jo
That's a creepy rapist thing, man. I'm so sorry.
01:03:08
Amelie
We go, we say, hey, da-da-da-da-da-da, good, great. There is no situationship. It's this or that, you know what I mean? it's That's why we don't have this notion of sex friend that's completely American.
01:03:17
Jo
Fucking creepy.
01:03:23
Amelie
Like when in the 2010 internet starts to boom, And everybody was like talking about friend zone and sex friends. I'm like, what's that?
01:03:32
Jo
Friends benefits.
01:03:32
Amelie
What's that? I can have sex with a friend if I want to. There is no, it's okay to have male friends and stuff. Like we French people have the reputation to have male friends.
01:03:43
Amelie
And it's okay. You know, there's not all this thing of, oh, you can be friends. What?
01:03:48
Jo
right
01:03:48
Amelie
Yes, there is a dick. There is a pussy. There's 10% chance say they play Lego, whatever. You know what I mean? That's not the most important.
01:03:55
Jo
played like
01:03:57
Amelie
Right, there is no... Voilà!
01:03:59
Jo
Wait a minute. When you asked me to play Legos, you didn't actually mean Legos? Motherfucker. First, the Dexter Laboratory thing.
01:04:03
Amelie
It depends...
01:04:05
Jo
I watched 3,000 episodes just this weekend or last week.
01:04:09
Amelie
Yes?
01:04:10
Jo
And now you're saying I should return to all these Legos? We're not actually going to play Legos?
01:04:15
Amelie
We play Lego.
01:04:17
Amelie
Now, dudes, we had one day...
01:04:17
Jo
I think we had played Lego before.
01:04:18
Jo
was fun.
01:04:22
Amelie
you remember when I asked you, do you want a sugar treat?
01:04:27
Jo
Yeah. And I got, okay. Anyone who doesn't know me, I have a complete sweet tooth. That's probably, I i need to cut down sugar completely. But yes, i was like, great. Is it like a donut? Is like, what kind of, is it a buying banyette? What, like, what the fuck is this going to be? It's cheesecake.
01:04:43
Jo
It's a turtle cheesecake with like fucking caramels and shit. Hell yes. Is that a straddle at Starbucks? Get them soon before they leave. With caramel and salted, salted, caramel and mocha? Yes, I do, motherfucker. I love a sugar street.
01:04:58
Jo
It was not that at all. I know.
01:05:00
Amelie
He doesn't know that at all.
01:05:01
Jo
No.
01:05:01
Amelie
Well, i was looking at I was looking at you really, really when you were said, yeah, would love to, but I'm on a diet.
01:05:02
Jo
I was very surprised. Like, what the fuck?
01:05:08
Jo
Yeah.
01:05:10
Jo
Exactly.
01:05:10
Amelie
What? Yeah, I like cheesecake.
01:05:11
Jo
Yeah.
01:05:13
Amelie
I will kill for cheesecake, you know.
01:05:14
Jo
Love it. Cardiologist says this bad idea.
01:05:16
Amelie
I'm like, what?
01:05:18
Jo
Yeah. Damn heart doctors. They think they know everything about the heart. Yeah.
01:05:25
Amelie
I was not talking...
01:05:26
Jo
Well, what the fuck am I supposed to know? If someone asks me if I want a sweet treat, what the fuck do you think it's supposed to mean? You know why I was confused? Because you didn't fucking text me if you suck not. I'm sorry. That's still the stupidest one.
01:05:43
Amelie
I didn't ask for your consent.
01:05:46
Jo
Can I sweet treat you?
01:05:47
Amelie
Yeah.
01:05:47
Jo
Yes or no? Oh, God. So we learned a lot today on Streaming Demons. We learned that, A, I rehashed this one.
01:05:54
Amelie
yeah
01:05:56
Jo
But no, we did learn a lot today. And we will talk about episode two. Episode one is in the books. Boom. Dexter. If you were watching, we spoiled the shit out of episode one for you. We'll spoil the shit out every episode. You don't have to watch it anymore. Just listen to us.
01:06:14
Jo
And if you haven't watched Dexter yet, Dexter Resurrection on Paramount Plus or wherever you steal i mean your stream your videos from, and you see the trailers, don't worry.
01:06:26
Jo
The trailer people need to be fired. I don't know who the fuck made them. They didn't do Dexter any service. They're the people that should be on the table right now. Because they texted, yes, they do suck and not in the way that we're talking about.
01:06:43
Jo
It's worth it. If you want, like we said, like watch the first two or three episodes. If you don't like it by then, it's not your jam. No problem. But if you watch your trailer, forget the trailer, watch episode one, watch episode two, and you're going to be hooked into it. You really will.
01:06:58
Jo
It's got the old magic back. Everything falls into place. so The cameos, if you want to call them cameos, we won't spoil too much later on. But if you've seen the trailer, some people will pop up.
01:07:11
Jo
They're well done. It's smart and it's funny. It's self-referencing. It's funny. It knows what it is and knows what it's not. And it's never trying to be what it's not. It knows exactly what it is.
01:07:23
Jo
This is a fucking fan lap around the arena for the fans. And that's exactly what you get. The fans are getting exactly what they want. So far, I didn't watch the last episode. I was...
01:07:36
Jo
out somewhere so maybe it'll take a dive after that but it's brilliant it's really good and we'll be doing this one episode every time so go watch Dexter Resurrection find it on Paramount Plus I think I just did more publicity for Paramount Plus for Dexter Resurrection you and I today than they've done for the entire fucking series so far internationally because there's shit at this apparently
01:08:02
Amelie
Yes.
01:08:04
Jo
And if you don't have, if you can get a small trial, just get it now. ah ah Get Paramount and Plus as a trial. Watch the shit out all the Dexter streamings and then cancel the bitch because they don't deserve your money.
01:08:17
Jo
Sorry, Paramount. Sue me. It's my opinion. Whatever. and Welcome to my opinion shows. And then enjoy your Dexter. Enjoy it. And I'm being real.
01:08:28
Jo
I was thinking about doing something with the IP of Dexter. So i was a bit pissed to see this show come up. But I'm glad they did it. Because they did it better than i would. So I enjoyed it. And we hope you enjoy it too. If you have any ideas about Dexter or you want to text me.
01:08:43
Jo
Or no. I guess you have to text... Yeah, whatever. We'll figure that out later. behalf of myself, Joe, and my special sweet treat, Amelie, we bid you good day.
01:08:57
Jo
everyone.
