Hello and welcome to No Applause, just the clap. The only show that posits, if Mary gave birth to Jesus, and Jesus is the Lamb of God, then Mary had a little lamb. Really? I thought that was good.

It's clever. Okay, yeah, it's clever. It's not laugh out loud, it's not guffaw worthy. It's very good, a little lamb.

Yeah, yeah, right? What brought that thought on? I fell down a red hole, which I really try not to. Like the top, whatever, like 50 clever, red posts, and that was one of them that really just kind of struck me.

I thought it was a really funny thing to, you know? Yeah, no. Really good connect on that one. I was really impressed.

I tried to be on Reddit because I fall down like wicky holes. So easily, I'm glad it isn't. In the words of Scully, like the internet is not a good place for me. No.

With Reddit, I lose like entire days. So I try to stay off Reddit. And sub Reddit. Though I did hear, recently that it had shut down the fat haters.

Did they really? Yeah, the fat chin. They all know censorship and stuff. The thing is, I loved it because they called the fat people like what was it like pork balls or something?

And then the people who weren't fat that hated them were called shit lords. It was hand planets and shit lords. So I'm like, really, how seriously could you take a fat shaming Reddit when they refer to them as hand planets and themselves as shit lords? Like that's beautiful to me.

Have you seen them when they do the roast me? Like someone did the picture? Yeah, yeah. I think we've gone through that with other people on.

Have we? Yeah. OK. I catch highlights every now and then.

I don't go to Reddit. I refuse to go to Reddit. I can't waste that much time. We can't lose that much time.

Not waste. I can't lose. OK, fair. Though, you know what's funny that I saw online.

What? It's totally fucking weird. And I kind of wish she was here because I kind of want to ask her about it. Rachelle, from the, is it, you know, what is it?

So like, you know. So like, you know, podcast. She apparently did some video where she played like some weird Hispanic chick in like a low writer video. Really?

My ex Candice posted it. And I almost wrote like, I know that girl. Like, you see me a link to that video. I will show you later.

I didn't listen to it. I didn't listen to any audio. I was just like, oh, that's totally Rachelle in a low writer video. And I don't think Candice knows who it is.

Because she didn't tag her in it. So I was like, Denver is getting smaller and smaller on an exponential level at this point. I will show it to you. I will show it to you.

I almost, I almost shared it in the tag her shell because we're friends. Yeah. But I didn't want to be too presumptuous. I mean, I think that like, Rachelle and I, you know, each other, I wear, you know, acquaintances.

But I wouldn't say friends. She's pretty really back on this. You know, it's like, I don't want to be like, uh, that's my friend, Rachelle. Yeah.

And like, tag her and be like, hashtag WTF. Like, really? I wouldn't have really hashtaged it. Sorry.

You know what I mean? Like, just like, well, you found this random video from this person. I know what the shit I'm sorry. My favorite saying is, crying out fuck.

There you go. All right. That's pretty easy. So it's gonna be a slow week.

We got stuff, but not a lot. Yeah. We didn't spend a whole lot of time on what we didn't spend any time on Mr. Robot last week.

I think we'll be catching up for the last time on this one. So we can start with the first episode that I missed, which was not this past week or before. So two weeks ago, a huge reveal. Like I said, when you went, no spoilers.

I'm like, oh, no, I don't want to spoil it because it's so fucking amazing that I wanted you to get there on your own. You know what I mean? Yeah. So, you know, Elliot's been going through this very monotonous life and he presents it as he's doing it.

He loves his mom. Well, he presents it as he's doing this to try and keep Mr. Robot under control. That's right.

That he's doing it as his own accord. Right. But what comes out at the end of two weeks ago's episode is that he's actually in prison. They don't really say for what?

I'm assuming. We know for what? You find that on the end of that episode, don't you? Do you know what the hack?

No. Very killing Tyrell. Then why is the government still looking for Tyrell? It's a fucking point.

Right. So he's in the trunk of the 80s show. Why don't they look there? Right.

I mean, because I thought that at very late, maybe he's in jail for the hack. Like, at the same time, though, they don't ever say any of the news feeds that he's been arrested for the hack. And he doesn't. And they say they're still looking for Tyrell.

Yeah, but well, and Mr. Robot says, like, we I shot Tyrell. I guess that was in place dead. Right.

Shooting him doesn't mean he's dead. He could be like, our face now. Plus, if he is dead, then who's calling the wife, which is still smoking hot? So, yeah.

Except for that part where she's covering red paint. I think that was two weeks ago, wasn't it? That was the beginning of two weeks ago. And she's like, oh, I'm having a great character moment with my baby.

And it's like, murder, murder. Yeah. Fuck. That was my red thing all over.

Fur. And then she does the silent scream of the word fuck. Very European. Yeah.

Right after Elliot almost gets angry right by a white supremacist. That's effectively where I kind of like, we talked off air. Like where I kind of went, that's like prison. Oh, there's your big reveal.

Kind of thought the same thing. Because it seemed like such a weird thing to happen. Right. In an alley.

So guys got to reap. Well, and did you notice when he was punching Elliot that he turned into Mr. Robot? Yeah.

I was like a little glitch. I want to show you. Yeah. One thing like, he's Mr.

Robot's trying to protect him. Which I really liked that. Like every couple of punches, like he turned into robots like, or Christians later, everyone would say it. Or his dad or whatever.

I was like, I'm here to protect you. Like, you saw that on the episode before that when Elliot finally thinks him. Which was huge and awesome. Oh, that would be the one where, yeah.

No, the one after that's with big reveal is when you find out that he shot. Oh, Terrell. Oh, yeah. Because you have the whole like ray talking about the dog being by the water heater in the basement.

And then they check a broken Elliot down there. And I'm like, oh, I'm really curious what, how all that stuff with Ray gets. Transpired in real life. Well, translates.

Yeah. Because I was telling people, well, they don't have computers. They have computers in prison. They have computers in prison.

Now what they could have done was maybe some of those guys had set up a website, gone to jail, and needed a way to change it. Or something. I'm not sure exactly. But Elliot's helping getting out of the, or getting past the protections that are in place to prevent people from jail from using internet in certain ways.

I just realized that that will happen in prison. They put the fuck out of that half-assed Elliot guy. Yeah. Oh, shit.

So maybe he couldn't do the work? Yeah. But now I'm imagining it all in prison. And it's breaking my brain.

And I'm like, holy fuck that other place in prison. I am curious, though. Something Brandon and I talked about. It was like a maybe Tyrell is another personification of Elliot.

I don't think so. At the same time, I'm like, yeah. But then how do you explain Elliot working for All Safe and Tyrell working for? Yeah.

Yeah. Evil Corp. Yeah. Evil Corp.

I keep one to say, and Ron, because they use the same E. The same E. The same E. The same E.

and L. Yeah, this is the same, man. That's the first thing I thought of. But yeah.

So I don't think Tyrell is his own person. Oh, absolutely. I think that the wife, the wife seemed like, did she talk to Elliot or Mr. Robot at any point?

Yeah. She talked to Elliot after the hack. After the five-dine hack. And Tyrell was missing.

Remember, he walked up to her. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that she made that some contact with him.

So therefore, it wouldn't be Tyrell because why would she treat him like a different person? Unless she knows, which doesn't make any sense because why would Darlene trust? Well, they get talking about like Darlene. When he finally remembers and tries to catch Darlene the first season, why would that be Tyrell?

It doesn't make any sense. So no, I don't think it's another manifestation. Though, really enough, one of our manifestations theories was debunked on this episode because we thought the black guy, Leroy, Leon, whatever. I don't remember.

I don't remember. I'm just going to say Leroy's that sounds racist. Leroy Jenkins. But...

At least he has chicken. At least he has chicken. Still my favorite internet video's ever. You know what, but that whole thing was, right?

Like, never. What? No, I was confusing that one something else. Because around the same time that Leroy Jenkins video came out, World of Warcraft had an actual virus.

And it was funny. So there was a... There was like an overtime effect spell that one of the bad guys in the dungeon would cast on you that would make you bleed. Okay.

And it would spread to other members of your party. So if you got infected and you were in a party, you would infect the members of your party. It was never supposed to get outside of the dungeon. No one there was a live long enough to get out of the dungeon.

But somebody did. And it's supposed to... Oh, you mean, a little in the show, in the game virus? Not like an ex-boy virus.

It was like, got out of the dungeon. I'm not sure how. They got out of the dungeon. And it's joined a party.

In fact, though. And then infected them. And then infected them. And that's how I started.

Because I remember that thing happening and it was just insane. The dead bodies everywhere. I was just squirting blood. It was fucked up.

Yeah. No, it was... It was effectively the World of Warcraft AIDS. Yes.

Pretty much. You can still find videos of it online. It's funny. Just like people walking through the world and it's like, because they were just all started joining different...

Like, did they leave the party to go join another party? Oh, no. Oh, Jesus. Has not been there at Leroy Jenkins or...

No, sorry. I'm just going back to... We're on this robot. Not to robot.

Let's let Leroy get all back up. So not one of the manifestations. No thought. Based on the whole living of the monster solution, totally works.

Obviously, prison doesn't. And he's one of the dark army and says, when you talk to white rose. So that's a thing. Because you really haven't seen that much of...

From the beginning of the act, I can't think of it. BD Wong. BD Wong, thank you. I was like, God, who survived Jurassic Park?

That's why that episode where they go to China. With, yeah, the FBI agent. Yeah, you really haven't seen much. I'm curious.

So moving on to the next episode where Elliot's not in at all. Which is, you called it a pallet cleanser. I kind of agree. It was nice.

I don't think it's... We know we just fucked your world up. So here's something. Well, I mean, you know, it goes back to like in Walking Dead.

And this is the best worst example I could give. When we all thought Glenn was like Schrodinger's cat for like a month. Yeah. This one they're going, look, we'll probably give you a week just let everything else sink in.

We'll show you what's going on during that time. And then we'll come back to Elliot. So yes, I agree it's a pallet cleanser. Much like taking a week off of Island under the dumpster.

Island dead. Island dead. Island. But I don't think they're going to drag it out the way.

Obviously. Walking Dead did. But that's how I see it. Where it's like that one like weird, almost bite meek.

Where it's like... Yeah. But I love seeing more of darling coming into her own. That piece of dick shit from...

You got the CD, her ex boyfriend or whatever that is. You're in the dark army. Oh, God. I'm so glad she really knew Walking Dead reference went and egan on him.

That was my first fucking thought. Yeah. I was just talking about the book that focuses on Darlene, Angela, and the female agent, Dom. And poor man's Kevin Smith.

And yeah, I'd say you see how the poor man's Kevin Smith, I think it was his name. I don't know if his name was ever that. But yeah, poor man's Kevin Smith. He meets the Indian girl at a Ron's coffee.

I liked it. Actually, I referenced the first Ron's coffee. I had the super fast internet from the first episode. I liked the internet connectivity on that.

I liked the connectivity on that. I did like watching him get social engineered by the girl. That was wicked awesome. She's like, go to this benchmark.

Yeah. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.

Don't do it. You're more on. Yeah. And then Darlene just got pwned.

Yeah. I loved it. Oh, the old benchmark website test. So, you know, and then she starts reading.

Darlene shows up, starts reading to them. L.E. It's not necessarily. Which is what he says at the beginning of the first season.

Really? That's, that's is like, yeah, all like the one percent of the 1% of the people you don't. Like, yeah. I think we watched the first season before I jumped on second.

Wow. When the first episode starts. I want to see the reveal on who we are. I really do.

That should be interesting. I think it's just, we're just another figure in the L.E. to imagine. Where's imaginary friend?

Oh, and what's, which doesn't make you feel special considering just how many you probably have. Yeah, really. So, yeah, after you see that little introduction between all three of them, then you, if you flash forward to them finding out about Nappy Echompers Hall and they record it. And then put it out.

And then put it out on the web, which creates all kinds of havoc because the FB has apparently illegally worn or wiretapping. Maybe illegally. It was at three million people in a search for 16. Yeah.

That they're not sure they're even said, well, it's implied that there may not be suspects. Like even they're a little murky on the 16, which gets paid off a little later in that episode. So that turns into basically an, I say Snowden leak type thing. They actually dropped Snowden on that one.

They actually like named Trump Snowden. Had him do that. Not had to do that, but. Yeah, I have a name in it.

I don't know they had him talking about it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The way they like CGI'd the president's mouth.

So the FBI gets under a whole bunch of scrutiny because of this so that when they do take into custody or man's coming Smith, he's let go because they don't have any on him. They can't hold him even though they really don't. And then the shit storm of just holding him alone is something. And I like that his first words are.

I want to layer. Yeah. That's what you say. Can I just do a quick sidebar on this?

It was really cute and quirky and whatever for the first couple episodes. I'm totally over the FBI agents, Dom's. I'm totally over her like lollipop bullshit. What do you mean?

The second on the sucker thing? Maybe it's a reference to like Tully Sivalis. Oh, I didn't think about that. Because he was a cop.

Did he play a cop? Yeah, he was not clumbling. Yeah, no clumbling. Not clumbling though.

Wasn't clumbling though. Or somebody else. He always had Dean and Lolly pop. Yeah, because it's like who loves you baby.

Yeah, exactly. I mean they do a lot of random 80s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, it was clumbling though.

It was not clumbling. But clumbo was Peter Fock. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, right, right, right. Because he was the bumbling idiot.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The weird idiots of Bond. Yeah, it's a little bit street wise. Yeah, okay.

Yeah. Bruce Wayne on the streets. Batman machine. Sorry.

I almost bought that shirt. Yeah, I mean, I didn't really care. It's just her thing. It's a court.

I know, but when she takes it out like throws it in the trash, it was just like, I know that's supposed to be tough, but it's like, you just chucked one of those like 99 cent blueberry cheesecake suckers. You get it first cafeteria in what's ranch. Yeah, that was a not only a dated reference. Or dated local reference.

So sorry. Yep. First cafeteria is well, I don't think they're running. Where are they?

No, they can't be. They were like slightly above hospital food buffet food. Yeah. I remember going like with my dad a lot, which I think speaks volumes of my dad doesn't turn to a damn episode.

I'm just saying it was that and very quick. So what am I memories? That and clash the Titans. That's all the story.

So go Jack mother fucker. Okay, cool. Yeah, it's one of those. I'm like, I know you're going to say it.

It's like, oh, yeah, totally go Jack. So anyway, so moving on past Dom's well, the pop thing, which is apparently just me. Yeah, so there's that follow the FBI. You get the sense that they're tracking the Islamic check, whose name I can't remember off time I had.

Yeah, I can't either. But she's like, she hears the noise in the backyard goes out. There's like a car with a lights on driving away from her house and then like tastes off around the corner like very, not men in black, but very like G man. Yeah.

Is what I would say on that. So yeah, there's that. And then also, you know, before all the before they released the FBI video, the lady who's hustling camping and come back home. What is it?

The secret, not the secret executioner. They call her Madame execution. Madame execution. She's legal head for for the corporate something.

She's like the lawyer. Yeah. The lawyer. So they knock her out while she's knocked out.

They go digging through her computer and phone and all that stuff. She left the fucking password on the post at note. That's not what you'd be surprised at while that still happens. Seriously, it's between you and me.

No, but between everyone else. Yes. We're doing, you know, breaking internet stuff and we're like looking for passwords. Flip a keyboard over.

You'll find them at least a handful in an office. On the back of the keyboard? It's actually kind of, well, not smart, but I think initially I'd like where else would you hide it? But you don't hide them.

You just, the idea is not to write them down. But anyway, I'm going to go on a terry, tirade against passwords if you keep this stuff. But people do still write shit down on sticky notes and leave it by the computer. I mean, it's, it's all over the place.

I've seen it. It's still commonplace, especially in offices. You know, my question is her password was Tahiti. Is she an agent of shield?

Okay. Okay. I was a dumb joke moving on. We got a little bit of reach there.

Yeah. You pulled a muscle on that one. Yeah. So the agents of shield and goes right on her side.

They get her, they're going to fight out of the sheet basically has ascended the ranks, so to speak. Through her pussy. Being very friendly with judges on case. They say hot and heavy.

Come on. She's fucking judges. So to keep, to keep her winning streak alive. Mm-hmm.

And then she comes to it. She's zip tied and they have a nice little chat. So it her and her lean with that. She was the conversation with the Islamic check that ends with her getting, like her accidentally had budding a wall.

Oh, yeah. I agree with that word. Mm-hmm. Because like the Islamic check is like, uh, we need to talk.

I think she just knocked herself dead. Yeah. Which I think is a bit of an overused joke. And let's her go, so to speak, like undoes the cuffs.

And then. But when you fight, that whole like dialogue from Darlene was fucking amazing. Hey, I'm going to give it to props. I can't give the interest his name.

Oh, it's not Porsche double day. It's the other one. Charlie, I don't remember. Whatever, something to take her or something like that.

But her talking about how she remembers her when she was four and she laughed during the, when they got E-corp off of the charges of killing her dad and all that shit. And she's like, I've waited for this. Brr, and just fucking joker, fucking joy buzzers her ass to die. And she dies because she has an arc condition, which they knew when they went through all her phone.

And darling fakes that she knew. And dark army guys, I don't know your lying. There's an actual moment after that where she says, I thought there'd be something that stopped me from doing that and there wasn't. Carley chicken.

Carley chicken, that was it. And we'll get into a virtual double day, which is Angela in a couple of minutes. But when darling says, there's that thing that I thought would stop me and it didn't. I thought it was a great character moment because it's her going, I'm maybe not in charge of how I feel all the time.

I think it's her coming closer to a little bit of what Elliot and Mr. Robot have. I don't think she's going to fucking lose her mind the way Elliot has. But I think that was a moment where she's like, there's a part of me that's not connected, that I thought would be connected and wasn't.

That's how I took it. I might be reading too deep into it. I don't think there'll be a spin off, Miss Robot. She moves faster.

It's Miss Mack, no, I'm joking. But I mean, I was. It's Robot with a bow on his head. And Ellie doesn't literally watch as I see might be wearing a bow on his head.

It might be Miss Robot. I think I have a lot to know. No, that's true. But I thought that was really interesting in terms of darling.

Yeah, so she's become a murderer now. She's crossed that line, so to speak, in that. Right, so basically, that's a character. And she's OK with it.

Yeah. Maybe not OK with it, but she feels not em. She feels, you know, it's not pathetic. It seems not sociopathic, but.

I think it's her way. Maybe it's her way of being motherly, so to speak. She's kind of taken over Elliot's role in what they created together, which is of society. And she's saying like, I'll take care of it.

I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it. Yeah. Give life to an emus on the form.

Don't do it. But yeah, so maybe she's just being maternal. I mean, she learned from her mother where my wife put cigarette butts out on her and country on her face. I did like what was it?

I thought of that. Oh, I did like that. I totally forgot about the veterinarian guy. And they brought him back with the incinerator.

And they're like, we do what we do with every hack. And I was like, what do you do? Oh, yeah, you burn every. Oh, wait, it's a body, as opposed to like her drives and all that shit.

But by the way, did you think it was almost overreaching that they would be able to wipe that entire house down? Like they said, like, we'll wipe it clean. Well, I don't think. How many times do you have red teams?

Like, I don't know if you don't wipe fingerprints, but. Well, I mean, yeah, sometimes you do. But you think about how difficult it would be to not just wipe fingerprints down. Yeah, if you're in terms of residual presence at a house for weeks, there's no fucking way.

Where you've got all kinds of stuff, classes you've used, like skin. Yeah, skin cells. I mean, like it's the only real way to do it. We'd have burned the house down.

A very talking heads of you. But I mean, yeah, that's really the only way to do it. Yeah. And that's something I'm going to guarantee.

Question is, speaking of burning, did they have to burn her body? You know, it's probably the best way to make her disappear, so to speak. Because I would have thought there might be some kind of like electrical, like, not scarring, but like. That would be scarring.

But tasers, like, marks. But after being bloated for what they said, like the 21st or the 27th on the, we're going away, message for six days of waterlogged corpse. Yeah. Maybe, maybe not.

Like that was kind of my weird. I have weird takeaways from some of this stuff. Maybe there was another way of making sure. I mean, it's better than leaving the body in the fucking pool and going, well, that's hope it's waterlogged enough.

Or the Chlorine Deserts job or whatever. Like. Yeah. So I mean, within Tarleen and Ex-boyfriend, whatever he is, go back to his place.

And they, you know, she wakes up the next morning. Oh, yeah. She basically a question in like, are you still part of the dark army, or has he talked in the late league? And he gives me a press.

He's not. Well, especially after the. You kind of have, I think he has his, I think you see that. He has his moment of doubt, I think, two episodes ago with the prison review.

The hand in his finger? Yeah, Jesus Christ. And I'm not a fan like single-needle bullshit. Like, oh my god, I almost puked on that one.

But obviously he's in whether he wants to be or not. But you do get the sense of before that, he kind of. He was wavering. I was trying to be careful and take care of her.

But so she, you know, she wakes up in his apartment. He's in the shower. She goes to his laptop and sees that he's been talking. They've been communicating.

They're trying to show us trainees. And then he comes out. Which, by the way, real quick, great DeAngelo cut. I mean, I got to give props to that actor.

Sorry. I mean, credit record is the one that way. Way to keep in shape, buddy. He comes out.

And I show him how like, you know, well, most hackers don't look like him. They look like poor man's Kevin Smith. Yeah. Yeah.

So he comes out of the shower. And she sees his laptop smash. He turns out what the fucking she sees who smashed his head with the baseball bat. And that's where the season ends.

It's going to be the episode. It's going to be the episode ends. Yeah. So yeah, I guess we'll find out.

Do you think she killed him too? No, I think she wanged him and then just, sorry. I think she just niggin' him real quick. And I don't think he's dead.

I think she's, they're not about holding him for leverage. But I think you're going to get his story in the next couple episodes. I think they're going to do flashbacks and all that shit with him. And I think by the end of the next two episodes, it'll either be dead or on a side period.

That's what I think. In terms of Angela. Yeah. I don't know what to think about her now.

She gets in that conversation with her dad's friend. The plumber. Where she basically calls him a worthless piece of shit. She's 27 on her way up and earns like six digits.

I think she's losing herself in the power trips that she built to take down the company. I think it started when she took down the two. I think it's not Christopher Plummer. But the guy who I think is Christopher Plummer.

Like, it was like, here's the evidence to take down these two guys. And I think she, that was the beginning of the selection of the innocence, so to speak. When she started taking on that guy that like, there's an old enough of your dad or something. He said something like, my daughter's probably older.

And she goes, what about your granddaughter? Which was like, I was like, so you want to fuck his granddaughter? Like, that's a weird fucking thing to say. I mean, admittedly, when I saw the black dude, and not because he's black.

But the first time I saw him, I was like, and then they did like, the previously on. And it was like, when I go home with you or whatever, I was like, fucking fed. I was like, why would you have that scene in a previously aimed if he's not a fucking fed? Or a dark army, either way.

And it's like, fucking fed. And he's like, she lost me at the bar. And I'd look up with fucking grandad or whatever it was. Yeah, Angela, I don't think they're running out of places to go with her.

I think the last half of the season, they have to decide what to do with her. Either keep her on or I'm sorry, killer. Yeah, she's getting or make her bring her back into Elliot's life somehow. Well, we'll see.

I mean, she's got a fair amount of legal clout. Yeah, that's true. And we haven't seen her talk to him, have we? No.

No, she's pretty much ditched him for lack of a way to put it. Yeah. As far as we can tell, she hasn't been visiting him in prison. She hasn't really spoken about him at all.

No. So yeah, once we went out and she's just being weird. I don't know. Like I said, they've got this last leg of the season to figure out what to do with her or just get rid of her.

I'm sorry. But like, should have got off the path, Angela. You've got to figure out the direction to go. Is she being sitaged by E-corp and she's going to keep going with that?

Or is she trying to just run from the inside and being part of our society in a tangential way? So they've got to go one way or the other. Or that gray area is just not a good character growth. And I'm sorry, I'm saying that as a writer.

Not to not send an s-mail. I'm just saying. By all means, keep doing what you're doing. All agree with you, no matter what you do.

But I think you need to go by the end of the season, you need to go one way or the other. The gray area is really awesome to keep you guessing. But at some point, she's going to have to get off the fence. And that's going to be when that character growth continues in one way or the other.

Personally, I think it'd be interesting to see her go E-corp. I know you don't want it. I know you don't want it. But you know what?

That's the definition of conflict. It's characters doing the opposite of what they should be doing. She should be working for SSID. She should be helping her adoptive brother.

She should be helping her adoptive sister Darlene. She knows that E-corp is evil. They killed her mom. But if she goes, fuck it.

Look at my power. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I think that would be really interesting.

I think that would make for a very interesting third season. Especially because she's right behind the CEO. Not in terms of succession, but I mean. But she's got a ear.

Yeah. Oh, and you know. Probably a few things. Yep.

Diak. So, I don't know. Ms. Pfeiffer.

Is that all the time? Yeah, anything we covered enough, Mr. Rumpher? I do.

Yeah. Not the bad one. I was like, I've been done. I've been made for the last time on that one.

It's that time of year. I want to get into this really quick. I know you want to have a whole lot. You want to talk about tabs?

Yes, I do. It's that time of year. Happy birthday, Bladed Birthday on the podcast, Deb. I know she requested that I post a certain variant cover on her birthday.

It was actually a late, sorry. Life gets in the way. But happy Bladed Birthday to, you know, no, plus co-host, Deb. Deb gets her annual birthday mix.

I know, Lizzie, I think last year you got, you actually got a mix. Hey, Slid's doing together, but still awesome. Actually, we listened to it. The Electric Wizards take on the Ninja Apocalypse, where I was a fucking all-it.

So I was having these really long weird Azo-terror titles. This one, I'll go very quickly track by track, was called Good Morning, M-O-U-R-N-I-N-G. Good Morning, Grace Guys. We lost a lot of people this year when I'm building a mix.

And you know that, of course, every mix starts with kind of a theme song. This one kind of did. It was, I opened with Electric Six's, It's Showtime. Good way to start a mix.

Echoes, which you know as the theme song to Misfits. And then we start getting into the actual morning, Killed by Death by Motorhead. No, right. Banditos by, oh shit.
