| Then we cut. | |
| They're back to Buck, driving around with the Jeep, trying to find her mom. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| And they're listening to the scanner. | |
| And this is something that I don't think you're supposed to do what they do right now, which is listening to the scanner. | |
| And they hear, oh, there's a downed power line at this address. | |
| And they hear someone say, oh, cool, we're coming from this address. | |
| And they realize, because she's a dispatcher and he's a firefighter, we're closer. | |
| We got to go. | |
| Right. | |
| Me and my shitty overalls and Buck with his boner, whatever is going on with him, like have to go save these people. | |
| Buck's pants are worth talking about. | |
| They're pretty bad. | |
| Oh, are they? | |
| They're just, they're just like a weird, like a tapered Chino. | |
| Oh, yep. | |
| I remember. | |
| Yeah. | |
| They're like, they're just like a green tapered Chino with like a, they just fit weird. | |
| Um, but they're, they're almost good. | |
| Um, but yeah, I don't, I think his boots are too big for him. | |
| I didn't realize the way he walked. | |
| I think he, I think his boots are way too big for him. | |
| Um, yeah. | |
| So, so this is, this is where we get, we talked about earlier. | |
| So there's a downed power line. | |
| Um, there's like a little motorcycle accident. | |
| That person's fine. | |
| They hear a panic in the backyard. | |
| They go around the backyard and there's a, the power line has gone into a pool. | |
| Uh-huh. | |
| And there is a kid on a raft on the pool. | |
| A pizza. | |
| And a pizza slice. | |
| Yeah, a pizza slice raft. | |
| And a casual dead guy in the pool. | |
| Casual dead guy, straight up dead, like from electrocution and not going to be really discussed other than Nope. | |
| Oh, he's real quick. | |
| He is the Manny. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's our Manny. | |
| quick he is the manny okay I wanted to make sure that I uh wasn't yeah okay yeah they were like that's our manny and that's the last time I've ever talked about him because you don't hear them talk about him again even though we see his dead body floating there the whole time so See, that's actually the part of the 9-1-1 joke arc. | |
| That's a different type of representation. | |
| How often do we see, like, a nanny, a female nanny, just get dismissed, you know? | |
| But now they have a nanny who's going to die. | |
| And we're not going to talk about him either. | |
| No. | |
| And it's, you know, it's beautiful. | |
| It's just showing diversity. | |
| I love that. | |
| Hashtag representation matters. | |
| We need more Manny's in TV. | |
| Yeah, more dead Manny's, more alive Manny's. | |
| Yeah, and it also can't be the point of the sitcom. | |
| The sitcom can't be that it's a mani. | |
| It has to be a peripheral, casual character. | |
| He's also wearing a red shirt. | |
| At first I was like, is that blood? | |
| Is he covered in blood? | |
| No, he's just wearing a blood red shirt. | |
| I do think that, I don't know how this works, but I do think that if a power line goes into a pool and electrocutes somebody that way, Okay, I hate to do this, because I don't do this to the show too often. | |
| That guy, I think the body would have been pretty fucked looking. | |
| Yeah, I agree. | |
| Also, that water would get very hot very fast, and that raft would have been toast. | |
| Yeah, that's what I thought too. | |
| That raft would have melted. | |
| I don't think that raft is sufficient for what is happening here. | |
| And the only reason why I bring up Miss things like that. | |
| Things are just not accurate. | |
| It's because of this move that happens right now where they're like, what's going to happen? | |
| And what are we going to do? | |
| And she's like, wait, hold on. | |
| You have a knife on you, don't you? | |
| You're a firefighter. | |
| He's like, of course, I have a knife on me. | |
| And she takes the knife and you're like, what's going to happen with this knife? | |
| And she grabs the hose and you're like, she can do something cool with this hose, with the knife. | |
| And then she like cuts the tip of the hose off, like the metal part. | |
| Um. | |
| And then like. | |
| And then they put the hose over the pool to kind of have her like grab it and like pull it across the pool for safety. | |
| But they did not have to cut that grommet faucet part off at all. | |
| There was no reason for that. | |
| I wonder if she was afraid that if it touched the water. | |
| I mean. | |
| And that's kind of what I'm saying is like, I think they were thinking about that. | |
| But even if it touched the water, you would still have to be touching the grommet. | |
| Oh, right. | |
| For it to. | |
| It's still insulated by the rubber. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Also, if you're going to care that much about it, why do you have a raft in electrified water that's going to be boiling at this point? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Like, why did you do that thing that had to be like. | |
| And it was just to have the stupid conversation that's like. | |
| Where she's kind of like, hey, I kind of need you when you kind of need me. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And that's, that's why this happens. | |
| Correct. | |
| And there's a moment where like he holds her hand or whatever. | |
| And she's like, what's that about? | |
| And then like later on, you say it's somebody it's adrenaline or whatever. | |
| I'm like, why wouldn't you just say that the first fucking time instead of bringing up later? | |
| Also, I have to say, I wrote down Connie Britton is not having sex. | |
| Not even with herself. | |
| Not even with herself. | |
| He says that, not even with yourself. |
