	You know the fox robot when you watch the NFL on Fox?
	The dancing, he dances, right?
	Yeah.
	That dances.
	Yeah.
	He is famous among, like, like he has a higher Q score than like most celebrities.
	He has like fan groups dedicated to him.
	There are people that have 20 year fan clubs about the goddamn dancing fox robot.
	So there is a subset of people that are getting something out of what you're seeing on the screen that is not Anything like you could fucking possibly imagine and yeah crease I like that just the the Venn diagram of Dancing NFL Fox robot BF and watching trauma porn 9-1-1 first responder
	And getting into fights because her husband served in the National Guard and that makes her a military wife still.
	Like, yeah, that GF.
	So it's a wild thing, right?
	But as I said, this show deals with some pretty brutal realities, like this scene.
	Athena's outside of this party.
	Her kid is not in this party, because her kid is in the hospital.
	Because her kid, in the episode previous, attempted suicide.
	And because she was bullied.
	So, Athena, the cop, has now shown up to this party where the bully is at.
	The bully is smoking weed, and it's in a private area, and she just walks in and confronts this teenager, and is like, my daughter is in the hospital because of you.
	I can't believe you did this.
	Also, you're under arrest because you have marijuana on you, and you're a minor, and I'm gonna arrest you right here, right now.
	This type of abuse of power happens all throughout the show.
	You're forgetting the most important part.
	What's that?
	You're forgetting the most important part.
	She's a good cop.
	Yeah.
	She's a good cop, and she's committed, and she has integrity, and she is abusing her power for the right reason.
	And what is the right reason?
	Is that this 17-year-old called her daughter a punk-ass slut to her face.
	That's the reason.
	Yeah, that's what's so wild.
	That's a direct quote.
	Your daughter's a punk-ass slut.
	A punk-ass slut.
	Which again, that teen dialogue.
	Quote, we'll drag her later.
	I'm so effin' high.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm so effin' high.
	No, no.
	I haven't slapped anyone all day and I am so friggin' high.
	That's exactly what 17-year-olds sound like.
	Well, and that wasn't what we were talking about.
	That's my main complaint with all of these shows.
	The ABC ones are maybe a little bit better.
	I think Shonda Rhimes has a tiny bit more touch with reality, but the people who write these shows have been in their Hollywood bubble for so many decades that they've completely lost touch with reality.
	They have no idea, let alone what teenagers sound like, what regular humans sound like.
	None of these sentences And it's like, you know, like those people who will like make a bot watch like 80 hours of The Office and then try to write a script?
	That bot is writing better television than the writers of this show.
	Like, it sounds more accurate to how a human would speak.
	Yeah, but like, I don't think that's the aim.
	Like, in the same way, it's like light and dark, right?
	Like, the light is Marvel movies do banter, In a way that, like, you like to imagine yourself, like, if you were a superhero, you'd still be, like, a fucking dipshit with a million Funko Pops and all that shit.
	So, like, you would do bants like that.
	This is the darker side, right?
	Like, yes, the Hollywood writers are probably not fucking talented.
	This is, like, This Is Us level, just, like, pathos-wrenching cynicism, you know?
	But I think they're writing for their target audience, which is, like, Like, the guys who don't own a motorcycle, but still kinda tear up when they see the Hell's Angels go by doing the Toys for Tots toy drive, right?
	Like, that's the target demo.
	And the dialogue is all how they imagined they'd talk when they get pissed off because man, that's everyone.
	Everyone in this show is just like, oh, and the, oh, what's this?
	We got a guy who they duct taped him to the seat.
	That's a thing that could happen in my life.
	Which is mostly watching videos on Facebook.
	Here's what I would do there if I had the authority.
	Over and over and over and over.
	And that's exactly why Angela Bassett is getting paid $450,000 an episode.
	Because the writing is shit.
	But her delivery is so goddamn sincere.
	She has that stone cold Angela Bassett face the whole time.
	Even when the parents of the kid that she just arrested on some real petty shit.
	This person is Athena is the most petty individual you'll ever see.
	It's a thread throughout the series.
	So fucking petty.
	Even as the parents show up.
	to confront her like what the fuck you like arrested our kid this is nuts you can't why'd you do that anyways um she's like well listen i'm not alone say she calls the kid satan she's like like i've talked to other parents satan over there is bothering everybody um and it's just like so self-righteous it reminds me yeah reminds me of when kanye released that that song that was just like scooped away He actually did it.
	He actually just to fuck with Drake.
	Like that, that's Angela Bassett doing this dialogue.
	Like, yeah, fuck it.
	I mean, I'm sure there's a reason fucking 400,000 of them.
	So.
	Yeah, pump it up.
	She rules.
	But, so she gets in trouble for this, you know.
	This is like, can't kind of go on punish.
	But trouble is, like, she's gonna be on desk duty for a minute.
	Also, something that comes up often in the show, notice when she was at the party, she was on duty, and she had no partner.
	Because she has no partner.
	So she has no, like, balance.
	There is no one there to, like, talk to her.
	She is just, like, a solo, a lone wolf.
	And she talks about how she got promoted there for that reason.
	So of course, yeah, she's not going to get in real trouble.
	She's only going to get a slap on the wrist and a little bit of desk duty for this wild thing she did, causing crazy trauma.
	Also, the black politics in this show are terrible.
	She did just arrest a young black girl for having a tiny bit of weed on her.
	That did just happen in this episode.
	That's what we just heard, because that girl- She walked into her backyard by the pool and was like, what's up, bitch?
	You're coming with me.
	And it's like, wow, this is not- You call my daughter a punk-ass slut?
	I will literally ruin your life.
	It's very interesting to me, and I would love to sit Angela Bassett down and wonder what she thinks about how the writers write her character, because she delivers it so well.
	It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me that her character is the only one in this whole show that you could pluck her out of the show and drop her in a Tyler Perry movie and would fit in perfectly.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	Like she's literally like the cop from a, like she could have been the cop in like Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
	Oh yeah.
	And like, why is she written that way and no one else is written that way?
	Like there's just a Even in a Tyler Perry movie, which I don't condone at all, there is an element of the cop being a self-righteous cop, but also being a little bit of a race traitor.
	uh which like there is that is a theme throughout this entire on her uh there's one episode where her whole family gets pulled over by like a racist white cop um she's not in the car and the dad's like her husband is like shook the kids are shook the guy pulls a gun out on her son and she's they come home and she's still like well i mean like i don't know like i don't know he's he was probably scared Like she defends that.
	It's so uneven.
	It's so uneven because when she's, I mean, you'll get to this in a bit, but like when she's on the plane, she's like, Hey, I'm the sort of cop that hates CEOs, respects airline passenger rights.
	And also I kind of think that I'm, I'm being police brutalized by this lower ranking cop here in front of you.
	It's just like, Really just ticking off one after the other of like, I'm the good cop, to then later on be like, yeah, well, you know, sometimes a cop's gotta pull a gun on my family.
	I don't know why people get, it's like how Bill de Blasio, when the NYPD illegally doxxed his daughter for being at a BLM rally, and it's just like, yeah.
	Well, you know, I'm sure they had a good reason for it.
	It's just like, how do you get there?
	You gotta justify it.
	Not triggered on any level by this?
	So just to continue with the chaotic feel of this show, it does then cut to Athena pulling up on an airport.
	And by the way, this airport is Ontario Airport.
	It's like right in my backyard.
	So it's always funny seeing it in tea.
	Literally my backyard!
	Yeah it's so funny like seeing it in uh in in movies and stuff and it's it's also it's all speaking of Kanye it's also the same airport it where um what was the video where it's him and what's her name who ended up being a uh conspiracy chad and they were both And she's like flying away.
	Um, she's like real beautiful.
	And Connie and her like, it's not, it's obviously, I don't know.
	I want to say runaway just because of the word away isn't, but that's not it.
	Um, God damn it.
	Anyways, him and some other woman who's also, who's also a black woman in this video together.
	And they both ended up being like chuds later on.
	And there's been like a conspiracy that like something happened in that airport that day during that video shoot.
	Uh, That's like the... I'm convinced Ontario Airport is haunted.
	Oh, it totally is.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It absolutely is.
	There's nothing in there but airport security and a Burger King that's always closed.
	Have you ever seen that Burger King open?
	So why would a ghost want to hang out there?
	Why would a ghost want to hang out there?
	Who is dying?
	Because it's creepy and ghosts like to be at creepy places.
	Did they not finish their Whopper and now they have to linger in the fucking Gate D?
	Nothing's happening on Ontario Airport.
	That's wishful thinking from you.
	You have a subpar airport.
	No, it's an excellent airport.
	No, you go to Fort Lauderdale International, guess what?
	There's a 20-foot mural of Mr. Worldwide Pitbull welcoming you to Fort Lauderdale.
	That is a win.
	But I will say, the Ontario Airport is always busy, yet kind of empty.
	Like you said, it's real weird.
	It's real weird.
	Real weird spot.
	So, uh, so, you know, I want to, you know, I was going to say sounds like your mom, but I actually don't.
	It seems like she raised a fine young man.
	She tried.
	Yeah.
	So I held back there.
	The way you talk about that sounds like the genitals right there.
	But out of respect, I'm learning how to be a better American through this show.
