Well, we also have our good friend Kai, who is going to help us walk through a list of shows from Must Watch TV to Don't Even Bother Watching. So if you follow Kai on IG, you probably heard her take her colorful take on plenty of these shows and I know she's piqued my interest and I've watched it quite a quite a few. But I hope after this episode, you will have a handful of shows that you want to watch as your summer's winding down. But before we get started, I want Kai to introduce herself.
01:25 - Kai (None)
Well, my name is Kai Hemingway. I rock. We giving the government. Okay, I earned it, I earned it, I earned it. I earned that last name. My family earned last name. I represent the Republic of Brooklyn, you know all.
01:46 - Damaris (Host)
BK, that's it Stand up.
01:49 - Kai (None)
Yes, yeah, I'm just a purveyor of TV shows, you know, I just like to watch things, to learn things, and then you know, and then I like to like interject, you know, ratchet TV, like, or whatever, but I think that you know, since COVID, that's when I really started, because Scarf Queen remember Secretary, not the Secretary of Health, dr Fauci. Oh, yes, yes, yes yes, yes, yes. And I started. I started commenting on the different scarves that she wore every day.
02:22 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, I remember, I remember that day. Oh, my goodness.
02:28 - Kai (None)
And you know I was getting a lot of feedback from that because I leave my Instagram open. So I was just oh, not private.
02:36 - Damaris (Host)
You're just like anybody, it's not private.
02:37 - Kai (None)
My Instagram is not private. When I did Scarf Queen, it got around to a lot of people and a lot of people were just like you know what? And it was just like, oh, you know, you watch a lot of shows. I was like, yeah, and then sometimes I was just like you know what? I think people need to be put on to a lot of shows, because a lot of shows that I watch are deep. I was like, oh, okay, and I like a lot of docs, yeah me too.
03:04
And I think after the strike, you know, a lot of production houses were going to docs instead of actors because they were on strike. So they just started documenting a lot of weird shit and I was just like, oh, these white people out here doing crazy shit. I think my constituency needs to know. Okay. And it's available Right and then we got back after COVID and then they've gotten really inventive on the subject matter and now we're gonna get into some best scripted shows.
03:51 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, we had a good time with kaisha on on this, uh, particular topic, because we we touched upon a lot of different types of shows, right like. We touched on some heavy episodes, some heavy, um, some crime, which is my cup of tea. We even touched on a little bit of dark comedy, so there's a lot of good shows that we go over on this particular discussion. So, let's get to it. What are some scripted shows that you really like right now for the summer?
04:22 - Kai (None)
You guys watch Baby Reindeer Told you what? Yes, no, wait, yes I did.
04:26 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, I did, I did, I did. Yes, that shit was crazy. Yes, that was wild, that was an intense show.
04:33 - Kai (None)
Yeah, and that's, and that's a true story. They, they do. Was it a true story?
04:38 - Damaris (Host)
that shit was crazy.
04:41
He said, he said he changed names and, like, you know certain details, but the bulk of it was true. True, yeah, that is why that is true. So, and it's true for the main actor. So, not the main actor, he's the writer and, right, the producer. So the guy who plays the baby reindeer, yeah, that's his story. That's his story. Oh, my goodness, yes, that was a wild story. Yes, I it. It kept me going back. I was just like what the fuck is going on with him, and then a lot of stuff that doesn't normally have, like you don't normally see right right with men and I was surprised that they were displaying all of that.
05:22
I was just like, oh shit, but it was. It was a really good show too. I felt like it. Um, it exposed how the psyche right like the like, the human psyche of like, how people will still go back to their abuser even though they were physically, emotionally abused, and they still, because, for whatever reason, whatever thing that they're still trying to heal from, they keep going back. And that show just had me floor on so many levels because of that, between his abuser and his stalker, and I'm just like why are you engaging?
06:02
But, I'm not in his shoes and I had to step back out in my head like, okay, I'm not in this man's shoes, I don't know what he's going through, because I've never been abused that way. So I don't know what I would do if I were in that situation. I would think I wouldn't. But I was also raised differently, right. I had a loving home. I had hugs and kisses. You know what I mean, yeah. But there's some people that I know that were in abusive situations. They started the relationship where it didn't seem abusive to them and because they're already in that relationship, they've already convinced themselves that, oh, there's some good in that person. So I'm gonna wait it out. He's gonna be better. She's gonna be better eventually, or he's going through something and that's what that show was about.
06:49 - Kai (None)
And that's what that show did.
06:51 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, he kept trying to see the good, and I'm like bro bro, there's no good right.
06:57 - Kai (None)
Also because his psyche was already damaged from yes before, because he I think it was a balance of what he deemed good as a good person, right, he did seem, as his abuser, as being good at one point, right, yes, he did, you know.
07:15 - Damaris (Host)
That's why he went back so he kept giving the benefit of the doubt. But at some point like that to me, that's that part of the human psyche where it just fascinates me into thinking like, wow, how do you still see the good, despite what that person did to you? Yeah, that was like beyond egregious. You know what I mean. Like I'm just like.
07:34 - Kai (None)
Yeah.
07:35 - Damaris (Host)
But yeah, I thought that was a good show, and if you haven't seen it by now, you should go watch it, even Reindeer was top tier. And I think you need to do it in doses it's not a show that I would binge in one day, because it's like you would leave depressed.
07:52
But you know, if you watch it in bits, an episode or two a night, then I think you'll be alright, you can still enjoy it. So what's your next one? What's like? Another one that you feel like is a must see, the must see, that's current. So what's your next?
08:04 - Kai (None)
one. What's like another one that you feel like is a must-see. The must-see yeah, that's current is Emperor of Ocean Park. I didn't give you guys that one. Oh, what's that about a judge who's going in for a federal confirmation to sit on the Supreme Court black judge and very affluent type of situation but comes to find out that he's sneaky, he's involved in like espionage.
08:37 - Damaris (Host)
Oh, so this is kind of a little bit like House of Cards slash. I like that and just all black greatness.
08:46 - Kai (None)
You know what I'm saying. I'm just like it's about time that I'm watching a TV show that's not Tyler Perry.
08:55 - Damaris (Host)
Greatness hotel cocaine tell me what that it sounds good, anything that has to do with drugs, sex crime, money.
09:06 - Kai (None)
that's my shit. You love it. So anything like narcos or anything like that, I love a narcos.
09:12 - Damaris (Host)
I love a narcos. I love anything crime. If it's criminal activities, I want to see it. Wait, wait, guys Tell me you're from New York without telling me you're from New York Loving some criminal ass shit In the 80s. Oh my God, that's not fast. I do love it.
09:31 - Kai (None)
I do love it. It's a glam jam. So there's Hotel Cocaine on MGM+, there's Interview with a Vampire that I really love. But you know what was one of my favorite of all time scripted shows Dope Sick On Hulu. I will go back and watch that.
09:52 - Damaris (Host)
That show was good I don't think I watched that. That was about the pharmaceutical company.
09:57 - Kai (None)
Yeah, that's about.
09:59 - Damaris (Host)
What's the family? The Sackler family? Oh, wait a minute. I think I've seen that one.
10:03 - Kai (None)
That is fantastic. I will revisit that. Very well done. Every time I look at the Hulu menu, I was like I should watch that again.
10:16 - Damaris (Host)
For those of you listening if you have not listened to our Big Pharma episode, listen to that. Then watch Dope Sick and you're going to see how fucked up the pharmaceutical industry is and how they have this country in a chokehold, oh my gosh, I could kind of figure that out. I could see that that's great but wait a minute, can we talk about? You had on your list the Boys.
10:42 - Kai (None)
I really I love that show, that show is like one of my favorites, so did you know oh wait, what show is this the boys on?
10:49 - Damaris (Host)
amazon. Okay now, kai, did you know that that was based off a comic book? I didn't even know. Like I just, I mean, adam, adam knew that, but I didn't know. Yes, and I love it like it's. It's such a great premise because it's um, so basically not she. I think we talked about this before, but it's really about, like these superheroes you know how like you think about Marvel and the Avengers and all that shit. So just imagine them. But being managed by a corporation and really being a superhero is a job, versus they're doing this, you know altruistically.
11:27
And so, that being said, given that it's a job, they're actually not so nice, right they're actually pretty shitty okay individuals.
11:35
Yeah, right, so it speaks to like the whole corporation of these superheroes and then like and in the balance of power, if you will right, like kind of add more to that, if you, you know, but that's the gist of it. So it's just kind of nice to see, especially if you're like over this whole avengers kind of approach, which is what it is right, that's. Marvel is based on marvel comics and they're always the good guys. But just imagine these people that actually kill and they're like yeah, it's what it is, it's a job. Yeah, and some of actually killed and they're like eh, it's what it is, it's a job.
12:07 - Kai (None)
And they're not really villains.
12:10 - Damaris (Host)
See, that's the thing about the boys they're multifaceted, they're multifaceted.
12:15 - Kai (None)
They're regular people, but maybe they get mad and maybe a head move.
12:20 - Damaris (Host)
It's like your typical employees Right right, right, Disgruntled.
12:24 - Kai (None)
But with powers.
12:27 - Damaris (Host)
It's scary Powers that can kill you.
12:30 - Kai (None)
There is an addendum to the boys called the you. You watched that.
12:36 - Damaris (Host)
I saw that it was good. I enjoyed it too.
12:38 - Kai (None)
You saw how it tied into the last episode. Yes, okay, yes, did you watch the Invincible?
12:46 - Damaris (Host)
I didn't put that on, I been watching. So that is the, the comic version of it, right like that's. I know it's so much nachi on on amazon right now between the boys. But yes, invincible is like the illustrated version of it right on.
13:00 - Kai (None)
But it's very, very gory, like Like you see guts, you see violence, Like the violence is like violent. Yeah, the boys is very violent, Very, very violent. And they don't slip on anything Like, it's just very, very, very, very, very violent.
13:17 - Damaris (Host)
So keep that in mind. If y'all don't like that, and also no, I mean, I don't think anything we've said today is actually for kids to be honest, so don't watch this shit with your kids and don't listen to this episode with your kids unless you watch Emperor of Ocean Park.
13:35 - Kai (None)
That's for kids. You can watch that same thing with Hotel Cocaine.
13:40 - Damaris (Host)
No, you can't really watch that you can watch that with kids you wild Kiesha. Same thing with cocaine. No, you can't really watch that. You can watch that with kids. You wild Kiesha. The same thing with the kids Family night. Let's do family night, kids.
13:53 - Kai (None)
I don't think so. I'm also watching and this is sometime out of obligation, but it's kind of good Lady in the Lake. Oh no, that's Becca. Presumed innocent.
14:06 - Damaris (Host)
Oh yes, that's Becca. Presumed innocent. Ooh yes, I watched that over this weekend. That was good Look at Kiesha's face.
14:13 - Kai (None)
You know what I did in a group text. I said you know all them, izzy's be crazy. I said I said. I said, if you know Izzy in your life, I'm not trying to offend you, but you know, I know Izzy's, all of Izzy's, every Izzy I know is crazy sorry, izzy, that was Kaisha that said that. Oreo cookies boy.
14:47 - Damaris (Host)
I was shocked. I was like what cause I was spoiling? Look, look, look.
14:53 - Kai (None)
I'm not gonna spoil it cause I do wanna watch it.
14:59 - Damaris (Host)
I had someone in mind and I was just like oh, I know, it's that person. I know it's that person. And were you right? No, no, I love that. Yes, you couldn't tell me it was this person I had in mind. I was just like, oh, I know it's that person, so it wasn't obvious. Like red herring, you know where it's? Damn. No, but it keeps you guessing, which is what I like. I like those type of those true crime shows where it's just like who did it, did he?
15:33
do it Right, right, did he do it? Did he do it? Yeah, he did Wait a minute, yes, yes, and then it's just like right, they go back. You're like damn okay, this make a. You know, this makes kind of sense. He might, he might be, he might have done it. You know, he gotta watch that.
15:56 - Kai (None)
You gotta watch that this summer presumed innocent. Okay, I'm definitely watching that now. Yeah, that's a good weekend show you could watch it in a weekend, right, right, and you are not going to want to do anything else, which is no, you're not oh okay, right, you got to pay attention.
16:15 - Damaris (Host)
For all of you diehard fans of those period pieces, we get into all kinds of shows that are into ancient Rome, vikings and good old stuff like bridgerton. So clutch your pearls as we get into these really rowdy conversations about these fun period shows I got into those, those that could die, those, yeah, those that could die on peacock those that can die what's that about?
16:45 - Kai (None)
ain't you wrong? I like period pieces.
16:49 - Damaris (Host)
Oh, I did okay, I saw commercials for that. First of all, how could you say that nachi on max you, when it was formerly known as hbo max, uh, rome, that show. It was one of the best shows h ever did. They cut it abruptly. I did not want to. Two seasons and it was like what I said, what?
17:11 - Kai (None)
happened.
17:11 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, yes.
17:12 - Kai (None)
It was that good.
17:13 - Damaris (Host)
It was very good. It couldn't have been if they cut it off after two seasons.
17:15 - Kai (None)
No, I think it was like production costs were too high.
17:18 - Damaris (Host)
This was like before Game of Thrones. And I don't think they had the budget to sustain future seasons future you know, seasons.
17:25
Then they came with Game of Thrones money cause George RR Martin has a ton of that shit. He funded the book by himself, yeah, but his asshole still won't finish the fucking book series, which I'm still waiting on. But you're like, let me rake in the dough by continuing to do these shows have an ending there, but let me not end it in the books. Okay, whatever. But yes, to do these shows have an ending there, but let me not end it in the books. Okay, whatever, right, what happens? But yes, nachi, rome is good. You should watch that.
17:52 - Kai (None)
Rome is good Vikings, valhalla and Vikings period is good. I mean, I spent two days watching that.
18:02 - Damaris (Host)
Vikings Valhalla is that on Netflix as well? That is on Netflix. Yes, okay, because Vikings is on Netflix. I know the regular Vikings and then that's the one my husband and I watched, and then we have now watched the Vikings Valhalla.
18:16 - Kai (None)
Vikings Valhalla is dope. It is really, really dope. It's not as good as Vikings, because I was watching Vikings when it was on Natural History Channel.
18:25 - Damaris (Host)
Right, I was watching Vikings Exactly vikings when it was on natural um the history channel right, I was watching exactly and I was just like, all right, cool.
18:29 - Kai (None)
Um, valhalla is good see, because I like period pieces like the crown. That was my thing, right. Um, I liked bridgerton until it got bridgerton, okay, wait I have not gotten into it.
18:42 - Damaris (Host)
I could. I just I don't know. I couldn't get into Bridgerton, especially because it's a period piece.
18:49 - Kai (None)
And I'm like I don't believe this. It's a lot to take in, but it's also very. What does Shonda do before Scandal? That's what she does.
18:57 - Damaris (Host)
She does Scandal. How to Murder something like that.
19:01 - Kai (None)
The mix doesn't do it for me, right? Because? The premise in Bridgerton is the same. It's the ugly duckling, the one that you know, the downtrodden, the Cinderella story. And all of a sudden she gets the prince, and then all of a sudden you see TNA.
19:16 - Damaris (Host)
You're like wait what?
19:20 - Kai (None)
I'm like oh okay, here we go.
19:22 - Damaris (Host)
Kai's like. This is my thing.
19:24 - Kai (None)
Okay, don't want me in the house. Don't want me in the house. That's it. I heard it.
19:35 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah.
19:35 - Kai (None)
Bridgerton yeah, that's my Netflix. That's my Netflix bag.
19:42 - Damaris (Host)
Okay, we're going to be talking about documentaries in this one and all of the weird shit that's out there, so buckle up. Might be some spoilers, maybe not, but you guys will deal. It's more fun this way.
19:56 - Kai (None)
Anyway, and that also goes with. That's why you can't watch Baby Reindeer and then, in the same line, watch Tell them you Love Me. Did you watch that? Oh my Lord, nobody watched that until I put it up. It was just like Ty, what the fuck you got me watching? I said everybody pause, don't clean your house, take two hours and just watch and watch that, that documentary, oh my god it's silence.
20:34 - Damaris (Host)
So I'm going to say I didn't. I didn't watch that documentary, but nachi did and she gave me the cliff notes and I was like what in the entire fuck, yes, is happening. And that show is on what? Netflix, netflix, that documentary and the documentary is called. Let's say the title again Tell them you Love.
20:52 - Kai (None)
Me, tell them you Love Me. And it just didn't let. It just didn't let you go.
20:57 - Damaris (Host)
You thought it was cool, you thought it was over, and then all of a sudden pow it takes a turn and you're like wait, this bitch thinks that she's in love with a non-virgin. I'm here confused.
21:14 - Kai (None)
Wait, that was just the middle of it. The end part was the wild shit where the kid had to be on drugs because he kept For a minute.
21:22 - Damaris (Host)
I was like she introduced something to him that he's now like that's what he's thinking about all the time. And his poor mother. I felt so bad. She was like he has to be on medication so he could stop because of the abuse that he endured from this himself yes and while he's a, but this woman, she, she believes that she did not abuse him, she believes that they had a relationship. A consensual relationship yes, and this man? He cannot consent. There's no way in the world he could consent.
21:57 - Kai (None)
So we got to give a little bit of description.
21:59 - Damaris (Host)
I mean this show's going to have spoilers, so whatever.
22:01 - Kai (None)
Stop listening if you got a problem with it.
22:04 - Damaris (Host)
So the premise is that this man has cerebral pals, palsy, right? Yes, and he's non-verbal and his mother was his caretaker, yes, and somehow this woman was introduced to his life and we don't got to go into great details, but, right, she was introduced into his life, this woman that, uh does work with other people that are like in his position, right?
22:26 - Kai (None)
well, not necessarily in his position, but use that teletop, that tele, yeah, the technology, that technology to help people that are nonverbal.
22:35 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, yes, okay. And so apparently, she falls in love with him and says that they are falling in love together everything.
22:43 - Kai (None)
She got two kids and a husband yeah, that's oh, not you.
22:47 - Damaris (Host)
You didn't tell me that part. No, I didn't. This bitch was married with children. This bitch was married, yes, yes, and this man, who's non-verbal somehow communicated to you that he consents to having a diaper that that he consents to consent to uh sexual relations and on top of that, he loves you. You are certifiable bitch.
23:16 - Kai (None)
No I was. No, that's. She's a predator, she's a predator.
23:18 - Damaris (Host)
No, she's straight up predator. But I was cracking up when she would go to the mother and say, well, he's a vegetarian, don't cook him that, or he drinks wine, he doesn't drink beer. And they were like what, what are you?
23:31 - Kai (None)
talking about. Oh my gosh, it was so, that is so, that's. That's one of the wild, the top three things that I've seen this year, the wildest stuff that I've that I've seen this year. I have to.
23:46 - Damaris (Host)
I need a break after that, yeah, so basically, Baby Reindeer, which is also on Netflix, and this documentary you do not want to watch at the same time. And I will say that Baby Reindeer, even though it was based on this man's life, it isn't done in the form of a documentary, it's still. It's still a scripted show.
24:08 - Kai (None)
Just don't be rude. No, right, right, right, no. Um, I had to. What did I watch after that? I had to watch some dumb shit. After that, oh power, I watched power after that.
24:15 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, I think I was watching 90 days after that because that was just crazy. I couldn't even. I couldn't even. Usually when I'm watching tv I'm working at the same time. I could not even work. I was just like so into the doc because I just I was in awe like I can't even believe that this is happening, and this one was serious oh, that was in New Jersey yes, oh, oh. She looking to get beat down. Wait, hold up and newer, but you can, and her mother's defending her too, yep.
24:52 - Kai (None)
And you know why.
24:53 - Damaris (Host)
I didn't let go.
24:55 - Kai (None)
Because I don't know if you peeped. What was the last thing she said? She said I have another friend who's in contact with Homeboy and he says and they let me know that he's doing all right, wait what boy? And he says and they let me know that he's going alright, wait what? So you have an inside person.
25:10 - Damaris (Host)
Oh yeah, now I gotta find out who you are if I'm his brother and you're cut.
25:16 - Kai (None)
You went to jail, ron you can't be around these people anymore, so that means to tell me you're around these people again.
25:25 - Damaris (Host)
Oh, and then whoever this person is, was just like well, hopefully it's best that he fell in love with you. At least you know that he at least experienced the love that he had. I was just like is he delusional too?
25:37 - Kai (None)
I'm telling you I do, I do. Okay, I'm gonna watch it.
25:41 - Damaris (Host)
You're gonna be more patient you're gonna be like there's a lot of crazy people out there for real who come off as seen as like normal and hey, no, no, yeah, because because this woman has like her ph yeah this woman has her phd. I mean she was well known in her field and just lost it, but you know she was already married to a black man. Alright, alright, guys.
26:11 - Kai (None)
We need to move on from this show you know I go on max to watch like docs, like the six schizo brothers yes.
26:21 - Damaris (Host)
I didn't finish that, but that was intense so someone had wrote on it was either threads or twitter, whatever referring to that documentary of watching that she realized how when you allow like abuse between siblings to go on, it helps perpetuate that environment of like, especially with someone. Several people in this family were mentally unstable and it's just like. Like they allowed the violence between siblings, like, oh, that's just like you know the boys horse playing and right.
26:55
No, like that's you. You can't really condone or support an environment like that, because, I mean, those dudes were sick and then they were beating up on the ones that were not rightic.
27:07 - Kai (None)
And this is how hypocritical the mom was. The mom knew what was happening. That's why she sent that one daughter away to live with her sister.
27:16 - Damaris (Host)
Which is kind of fucked up because I was like how you send one daughter and not the other. You got that poor girl in this fucking hellhole with her brothers who are wild.
27:28 - Kai (None)
After she told you she was getting fucked up by her brother. Yes, she didn't send, because the one that did the doc is the youngest one, so she sent the one before that one.
27:40 - Damaris (Host)
Oh, so she didn't send the youngest one, no, the youngest one is the one that's in the doc. Yes, that's the baby. Yeah, and she was. And she, oh Lord yes, and a house full of schizos.
27:54 - Kai (None)
That's why I'm like sometimes y'all just see they running out of shit to do, but then they exposing like some crazy family shit. That's going on. That's why I, you know, I'm blessed to this day to just be surrounded by well-rounded people, because you never know what's going on behind people's closed doors. It's true. It's nuts, all the stuff that I'm watching is nuts. I'm just like this is going on. People have been living like this.
28:21 - Damaris (Host)
No Right, no yeah, because this family this was taking place in the 60s 70s, right taking place in the 60s 70s right, like that's.
28:29 - Kai (None)
No.
28:29 - Damaris (Host)
It started like yeah, 60s because they had like 12 kids, so yeah, yep half of them was schizo one of them died the other one killed himself and yeah, that's a lot like, like and and the parents were well to do Like the father. What was he? What was his position? He was like a lieutenant, like a colonel, something like that, and the mother was into the art scene, so she was always doing.
28:59 - Kai (None)
They were originally from New York. Yeah, you know what, Okay, here we go. Then when I watch that, then I gotta go. You know, Okay, here we go. Then when I watch that, then I got to go. You know, find some dumb shit to watch.
29:10 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, you got to balance it out. Yeah, it's true, it's so heavy to see that, and then it's just like okay, no, I got to, I need something that's just going to be like just fun.
29:21 - Kai (None)
Right and just dumb and just like what else. What I was just getting into oh, this is another doc, but I just got into it today called betrayal on hulu, but that's another thing.
29:32 - Damaris (Host)
Well, wait a minute, kaisha. Yes, nachi and I watched together the man with a thousand kids what's it called?
29:38 - Kai (None)
that's, yes, the man with a thousand kids wait a minute.
29:43 - Damaris (Host)
all over the world, that documentary is so out of control, so out of pocket Of like. This man who goes and like constantly is donating his sperm all over the world, even though he should not be, because now he has like a thousand kids.
30:03 - Kai (None)
It's one child and half. I mean write it down. They're probably all related. They all, the mothers, went to the same school.
30:10 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, they were walking in, they were going to the park and recognizing like, oh, your child looks a lot like mine. She said that when one of the mothers mentioned about how this her child, you know, met her half-brother and she's like, oh, I really like him right and her mother was like yeah, well, that's your half-brother. She's like, but I really like him. She's like see, no, oh my god can you know you don't like you have to now ask anyone that you date who's your father?
30:42 - Kai (None)
yes, you gotta have a likely related.
30:45 - Damaris (Host)
Especially if you look like me. So no, that show was very intense because it's, and he had a partner in crime.
30:54 - Kai (None)
He had a partner in crime to help him.
30:57 - Damaris (Host)
Was this the guy from 90 Days? No, oh, this is another one, because I didn't finish the talk.
31:02 - Kai (None)
He had a partner in crime.
31:05 - Damaris (Host)
He had a partner in crime.
31:07 - Kai (None)
Was it a woman? Was it the woman? It was another dude.
31:11 - Damaris (Host)
It was the dude that one of the mothers had met first, that had a big scar on his head and apparently they were partners and so they looked. They sought these types of women. They had multiple profiles and they were all the same dude it was. It was so messed up. They sought these types of women. They had multiple profiles and they were all the same dude it was. Yeah, it was. It's so messed up, but, like you know, that's the risk with going to a sperm bank.
31:36
And also the risk of just like when you're in a place where you're so desperate to have something that you want that you feel is out of your reach, like having a kid that you're willing to do anything, even though this man, like you, found him on a website yeah, as a donor website but there's like nothing to do. A background check and even some of these sperm banks that he was a part of didn't even really have any way to really control right how?
32:00
no, there is no real control, so it's just like this is so gross because he has a thousand kids and your kid is now one of a thousand kids and I mean he probably has more than that, though oh, I'm sure he does, I'm sure he does he probably has a lot.
32:16 - Kai (None)
We're probably looking at one of his kids every day.
32:19 - Damaris (Host)
You know, listen and it's so sad, like I feel bad for those children because I'm like when you growing up and you start dating, you got to look at every person that you connect with that's what I said.
32:32 - Kai (None)
They got to move and not just know. They got to stay because they got to know who they're related to.
32:36 - Damaris (Host)
I'm like but he's all over the world, he has children in so many different countries, so it's like at least in your country you know who's who Actually wait. While they took him to court and he said yes, the way they could identify each other is through social media and if they put like an icon on their bio, then they would know who the daddy is. That's how they would know how they're related. This man is sort of fire. He is a psychopath.
33:10
I'm sorry no, he is because he doesn't even want to give his, because he has a list of everyone he's don't and he won't and he won't.
33:18 - Kai (None)
This is why I say sometimes I want to live in the age of ignorance, like I sometimes, I just want to believe the world is full of lucky charms. Right, because when you get out there and you realize what people are doing, yes, right what people are doing. You get so dissuaded with humankind, right, like it's like you don't have anything else to do. But then I'm so very, very intrigued Because I want to learn a lot of stuff, right.
33:52 - Damaris (Host)
Right.
33:53 - Kai (None)
I always want to be that one. That's another reason why I watch a lot of TV, mostly docs.
33:59 - Damaris (Host)
But I do want to close out with the Simone Biles documentary Super fan. Did you watch it, Nachi?
34:05 - Kai (None)
No, I didn't, but that's on my list to watch.
34:08 - Damaris (Host)
I'm glad I watched it before the Olympics too, because it's like it's a lead up to the Olympics and her comeback. And first of all, I did not know her back story like that. Her mom was a drug addict. She was raised by her grandfather and her grandmother and she calls the mom and dad and this is so beautiful, even her relationship with her husband. I was rooting for her so hard just watching it. Super fit, super fit.
34:39
But, she did well today, her and the American she did well, she did well. I'm a fine girl.
34:45 - Kai (None)
Simone, she did well. She's old for their standards, yes, she's 27.
34:47 - Damaris (Host)
Wow she said wow, I'm a fine girl, simone, and she's old for their standards? Yes, she's 27 and she is a beast, and when I didn't, I really didn't appreciate in 2000, the scenario that the Olympic athletes were going through while in Japan. I didn't really think about the, the level of isolation, like you, and I felt it a. We lost our father that year, so we're grieving in isolation.
35:15
And then, on top of that, you know, the world's on lockdown, and so everyone at some level felt a level of isolation but, when you're also competing at that level and you can't even have your family and friends there and like that is a part of like your mental wellbeing and so she's having like a mental breakdown, in a sense, like her brain is not connecting with her body.
35:41
So, she's like I'm going to kill myself if I keep doing these things if I'm not, if I'm not careful, and I, she's like my head is not in it and you don't really understand. Until you watch something like this to really understand, like how the the gravity of the situation and then also, on top of that, the fact that she was like I was there by myself and I'm like and her her mom and her dad never missed any competition, so you know what that's like to be like they, you never. Your family has never missed a competition. Your biggest supporter.
36:14 - Kai (None)
Yes.
36:17 - Damaris (Host)
I could look at the stands and, if I need a moment, I could look at you and you're like you got this baby. She don't have that. I was just like, oh my God, no wonder I felt that a thousand percent when I saw that, because I know how I am with my family and my friends. I need that. So when I saw that, I was like, oh hell, no, super fans. So when I saw that, I was like, oh hell, no, yeah and super fair, super fair. Yes, yes, I love her.
36:38 - Kai (None)
They saw her drawing by phone. Yes, and that's so messed up she didn't have anybody.
36:45 - Damaris (Host)
No, she had to call her mama, and her mother was like it's all right, it's all right and I'm like that's it.
36:51 - Kai (None)
But she came back strong, yes, but she came back strong, yes, and when you see the doc, she was determined, she was like I am not. This is not the legacy I'm leaving, and also Kiesha, you know the other thing?
37:03 - Damaris (Host)
I forgot that she was also victim. She was a survivor of that gymnastic doctor, the coach.
37:12 - Kai (None)
Oh was she.
37:13 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, yes, I didn't realize that and I was like at that point she, yes, yes, I didn't realize that and I was like at that point she had not gotten therapy there. So there's like unhealed trauma she has a lot of a lot of ladies, and then she's dealing with that, and then she's now competing at the world level elite without her people in her corner right and her head is not in the game. And and that's the thing about trauma, when it's unhealed and you haven't gotten that help that you need.
37:38
It will creep up on you and she's like, as she said it, she's like I just didn't think it would creep up on me at the world stage. When I saw that I said I forgot about that. I was like, damn it, that girl was going through something and they dragged her out?
37:52 - Kai (None)
Yeah, but they popped out because she was also isolated before the Olympics. Right, you know, covid was, covid was brutal.
38:00 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, it was brutal, yeah, all of the things right.
38:03 - Kai (None)
So she couldn't, even if she was on the men. And then you know, march 16th, ha ha ha, birthday, but March 16th of 2020, world lockdown. Yeah so even if she was on uphill road to whatever she had to then reconcile whatever she learned by herself within herself and then preparing to have another. What is it not routine, but another triple double name, the fact that she has like four to five, not routine, but another triple double mash the cough name. First of all, the fact that she has like four to five techniques or whatever.
38:43 - Damaris (Host)
Named after her. They're like the Biles one, the Biles two on the beat, the Biles one, the Biles two on dance. I'm like what the fuck? She has like five things named after her Nachi. She is a beast yes and she.
39:00 - Kai (None)
I protect her at all costs.
39:01 - Damaris (Host)
After that, after yes, no at all costs I had a different level of appreciation for and respect for her that I just didn't really understand, and not that I I wasn't one of those that was like, oh, how could she do that to the team.
39:13
I was like yo, she gotta do what she gotta do like I don't know yeah but when I saw that I was like, wait a minute, y'all want this woman who is dealing with having had been sexually abused who knows for how long, because I don't even know the details about that right, but she was part of that. She's been.
39:31
She's been um on the gymnastics usa team since 2011 right so we're talking about a solid decade, yes and so, on top of that, then she's isolated. She don't even have her family. She's got these mental like she's got some demons in her head that she's like I. If I make this jump blindly, I don't even know how I'm landing. Like she's like I don't know where my body was, what I'm twisting in the air? I'm like, oh hell and that and that's a dangerous thing.
40:00
That's dangerous. She could literally kill herself and people like how can you do that? I'm like you can't. You can't even turn with your eyes closed right, right, without falling on your ass, so please, right miss me back off yes no, you gotta watch it gotta watch it.
40:17 - Kai (None)
It's such a feel good. Yes, right, and after that documentary, you will protect Simone Biles at all costs it would run across your timeline and somebody said something ratchet about it, yeah yeah, go somewhere like straight up yeah, you're a troll.
40:41 - Damaris (Host)
Go back into the sewer where you came from right, he has like 18 000 gold medals.
40:46 - Kai (None)
What you got? Shut the fuck up.
40:47 - Damaris (Host)
No, I mean, she is crazy like her, her stats and this is my favorite part. I love some reality tv. Well, in particular, I really love dating reality tv shows, but we kind of touch a butt on a couple different types of shows in this segment and it is hilarious. And also it's just like you know, if you're into dumb shit to watch yes, we like to watch dumb shit Exactly. So tune in or keep listening, let's get into it. I love a. Love is Blind. Love is Blind.
41:26 - Kai (None)
They kind of fell off because a lot of people now are going on there for fame.
41:32 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, I agree with you on this last season.
41:35 - Kai (None)
The first season season, the second season, this first they were saying things that just didn't right now, you know, a lot of people are faking a funk just to go through it longer and things of that nature, which is fine, you know it's, it's relatively fine.
41:49 - Damaris (Host)
But but it's not fine, because there's some people that are really there to try to find someone and I feel bad for them because then they're caught up in the matrix. That's true.
41:58 - Kai (None)
That's true.
41:59 - Damaris (Host)
You know the Mazel she loves herself one of those love shows. When it comes to a reality TV show like I don't like just any reality TV. For me it is a dating reality show. Really Love is Blind the Love Island show. Like really love is love is blind, the love island I love. I binged the love island uk series all throughout covid and I was like what is this? I od that adam was like okay, could you please change the show?
42:31 - Kai (None)
thanks what is that love show that came out of Africa just recently, which was wow. What was that?
42:40 - Damaris (Host)
oh, please tell me, because now I gotta watch. No, I was gonna say Damaris, you don't know.
42:43 - Kai (None)
Damaris should know it was on Netflix, it was wow, it was. It was one of them. It's not love is blind, it's something else.
42:52 - Damaris (Host)
I think I might have, I think I, I think I've like tapped it to say for like a future watching one is the one that they come there together and they and they separate and they go live with other people well, that's similar to the American version of Temptation Island, which I also love sounds familiar, but is the the ones that do?
43:17 - Kai (None)
Love is Blind is their other show. Oh, the Ultimatum, the Ultimatum, the Ultimatum. South Africa.
43:24 - Damaris (Host)
No, damaris, I think I didn't watch it because it's I'm not a. The Ultimatum shows are like Damaris, really, I promise you, okay, I'm going to watch it. Ultimatum, south Africa, noted. I promise you, ultimatum, south Africa, noted whoa you're gonna be like.
43:41 - Kai (None)
You're gonna be like wait what not another show.
43:44 - Damaris (Host)
Adam is gonna be so annoyed you're gonna binge it.
43:49 - Kai (None)
I promise you. Those reality shows I really don't watch too much, but but when I get in it I have to eat, I have to chew it all up, yeah.
44:00 - Damaris (Host)
I love a romance reality show and I think part of it is it started with Blind Date and this is us back in. You know I'm dating this right now. Blind Date was the original going on a date on camera. That shit was as real as it can get Okay and it was out of control. And I remember Nachi always telling me you should sign up a blind date.
44:22
You know why? Because she wanted me to be the joke. She wanted me to go on a date Because you know how Damaris is Kai, she would have been hilarious to watch her. No, it would not have been because I'm sacrificing myself. No, I'm sacrificing myself. No, I'm not. I'm not you know tribute.
44:39
I'm not volunteering as tribute for this, wow okay, but Blind Date was like the first show in romance. You know that I was like, oh no, this is it. I love it. I love to watch people interact that way. I don't know, it's just something about that even though I find it fascinating even though it may be.
44:53
No, I like it when it first doesn't feel scripted, but then, as it gets scripted, it depends, right, all right. So, like love island, will the the original version, the uk version will find a way to weed out some of the people, and you can kind of tell the people that are there to not find love, and then they usually get voted out because the public doesn't like to see that. So there's like a way to check, you know, for checks and balances to to some degree. So I feel if the show can do that, then I'm open to that.
45:19 - Kai (None)
Actually, no, so I started watching the USA version yeah, you get to vote. I'm like, oh, I'm going to vote. Please, motherfuckers, I didn't know that, I didn't know that part.
45:27 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, so it's interactive with the public. So if the public is feeling like, you're likely not going to make it to the end okay so that's where I feel like they can balance out. Okay, this is getting too scripted, or it's you know?
45:40
versus a reality show, yeah, but like like love is blind. When it first started it was definitely more authentic, but then this last season there were some people that you're like it's kind of questionable, and then they were kind of weirded out, naturally, but then not all of them. Some of them made it to the end, like the black dude I forget his name, oh, yes, oh, I saw that was my first time watching it and I was like, ooh, what's?
46:06 - Kai (None)
wrong with him and I'm like you're trash dude.
46:07 - Damaris (Host)
I mean like you knew, you knew what you were doing.
46:18 - Kai (None)
Right, right so play. So yeah, home girl, or whatever but you have to watch.
46:20 - Damaris (Host)
You buy bling. So here's the thing you watch. No, no, do I bling? Yes, you had put the real house.
46:24 - Kai (None)
Wives of dubai and I'm like, I don't like that one I like dubai bling better and I just that.
46:29 - Damaris (Host)
I live for that. You know why? Because I'm like, oh, they're money, money. Like when, when you recognize where they're living and you're like, oh yeah, no, this isn't fake, some Southern state where you could buy a mansion for like 200,000. I was like, no, you can't get a closet for 200K, you know what I mean.
46:49 - Kai (None)
I want an apartment for my birthday. I don't want an apartment.
46:54 - Damaris (Host)
For your birthday.
46:56 - Kai (None)
Okay.
46:56 - Damaris (Host)
No, not she, it was out of control. I was like, wait, what? And they're living on the beach already, right, well, you know, like the man-made beach. But I was like, oh, Right. She's like what am I going to do with this apartment? I'm like make more money, right? It's ridiculous, no, ridiculous, no. And Natchi, she wore like this crazy. They went to this jewelry store and she's looking at this necklace.
47:19
that was like it was an emerald necklace an emerald and diamond necklace that I know easily was probably like a million dollars plus Right and she's like I'll take that Like it was five dollars.
47:31 - Kai (None)
Okay. Thank you, I think she got like a bracelet to match or something.
47:36 - Damaris (Host)
Yes, it was a set yeah, you're right, it was first one. Actually, they were looking at rubies and they were like oh, that feels like an old woman. I was like rubies, what I'll take it. They're like go with the emeralds. Oh, my fucking god, like what? No, dubai bling, I enjoy that. I enjoy vibe bling is crazy.
47:55 - Kai (None)
I love seeing some real people have money. Okay, for real. No, it's some real money.
48:02 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, it's not fake. It's not TV fake money they got money, money, real dough.
48:06 - Kai (None)
And that's the thing. When you deal with people of like, like people like American reality TV shows, I see a lot of fluff.
48:17 - Damaris (Host)
You know what I'm saying a lot of, a lot of a lot of. They fake the funk, because half of them fake the phone and you could see and you could tell it's scripted, it's just like okay you know you did that on credit. First of all, when you look at the credits and they're like there's a list of writers, I'm like, okay, problem number one, I've never.
48:34 - Kai (None)
I've never put those two together I'm like, okay, not a thing. But all right you're right.
48:44 - Damaris (Host)
You're right. That's why I don't with the reality shows, that's why I'll just stick to the dating ones. I'll do a dating reality show because it's fluff and I'm like, okay, yes, I know it's 15 minutes of fame, but at the same time it's like, okay, they actually build a relationship. I'm like, oh, my god, he did what. Right, right, you cheated on him. Like I can live with that. But the other shows, I'm like it's too fake. Like I, you know, like I can never get into the Kardashians or anything like that.
49:09
Who cares? Who cares? I'm losing brain cells with that. Oh wow, no, I'm serious yeah, I with that shit.
49:14 - Kai (None)
Oh wow, no, I'm serious. Yeah, I don't watch country house series, I don't watch. I just watch the Real Housewives of Dubai. I don't watch Love and Hip Hop. I don't watch that. No, no, no.
49:24 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, I haven't watched that in a long time, even the stupid shows like Love Island. I'm like I gotta hear what you said to her and you'm like I gotta hear what he said to her and you're like rewind.
49:37 - Kai (None)
I'm like we don't need to rewind.
49:39 - Damaris (Host)
We kind of get the gist, let's move on. I'm like I need to hear what he said to her Really To see if he's lying to her ass.
49:44 - Kai (None)
Yeah, she's so annoyed with that.
49:47 - Damaris (Host)
That's not because the show's so great.
49:49 - Kai (None)
But I hear this last season was nuts because there's a lot of things that are coming out behind the scenes. With this last season of love with uk or the usa the one that's the one that's hot on netflix right now. On twitter they going in like one of the girls are really rich and she plays oh, yeah, yeah, but I mean, but that first of all.
50:09 - Damaris (Host)
Okay, so this was on. Yes, they were showing it on peacock and this was the usa version. But the thing is the girl says she was from Calabasas and she was talking about how she has horses and a whole farm. So if people just looked up Calabasas they would recognize that no one poor is living there. Let's just leave it at that, so to be surprised. But the thing is she didn't talk about her money, because people with money that have had money for a long time don't talk about money.
50:39
So so they mad at her that she didn't know, they're just surprised and I'm like I don't know why they would be surprised, because I knew she was rich the minute she said she lived, she's from calabasas and she had horses. First of all, do you know?
50:49 - Kai (None)
when you, when you own horses like I'm, do people not understand?
50:54 - Damaris (Host)
Plural is a lot Plural is like minimal. I feel like this is a dog, minimal. Yeah, right, thank you. She said horses, it ain't cheap. No, this ain't about you know, right, I'm like. So I don't really understand why. It's a thing pretty obvious. But that's just me okay, because I, I was gonna, I was gonna dig into it the best thing is to watch a show live with twitter because, like, especially if you're watching, like you know, a weekly release show and oh oh, twitter yeah, twitter gang get into it.
51:29
They go in, they go. I love it, and sometimes it gets me upset because you have people that are. You just have a bunch of bots right sometime too. So it's like trying to decipher the bots between the real people, the real actors, which is usually pretty easy, but still the bots will generate, you know, a little too much noise, and then it's favorite, the terrible shows we are going to get into, some shows that it is not worth your time to even watch the first five minutes of it.
52:08
As sexual chocolate would say good and terrible, exactly Good and terrible. So it's at your discretion if you want to watch these anyway, but you will hear what we have to say.
52:21 - Kai (None)
Yes, lots of jokes so enjoy. That was hard, that was horrendous.
52:27 - Damaris (Host)
Yeah, first of all, you said Tyler Perry, greatness. Now I'm yet to come across. That was an air quote, okay, okay, because I'm like I'm yet to come across that greatness. I mean I'm yet to come across that greatness. I mean for me personally, that's my personal opinion. I know a lot of people love his stuff. I don't. It just doesn't really resonate with me, but for you, if it does, congratulations. No, the only Tyler Perry. So divorce in black is terrible. It's terrible, along with his other shit, from the moment it starts all you can say is making good is pretty.
53:01 - Kai (None)
And now, and maybe I was just like oh, I like that strapless, like uh uh striped dress, and that's it I I didn't even catch that. I don't even catch that that shit was so horrible, y'allall. I mean when it opens at a funeral and they fighting at a funeral and you know, mom Dukes is like I don't need your money from the church and takes off her wig and wants to fight.
53:27 - Damaris (Host)
Oh, she took off the wig, okay, the wig, her clothes, I mean.
53:32 - Kai (None)
Her girdle in church. Oh, in church, yeah, I don't.
53:38 - Damaris (Host)
I think I don't need to watch that to know that it's bad, and I take your word for it. Yeah, it's bad acting. It's just terrible all around.
53:46 - Kai (None)

Both of them Wait, so wait, power. Okay, I didn't watch this season, so this season is terrible, or are you saying like okay?
55:05 - Kai (None)

55:10 - Damaris (Host)
Because it's the last one, the last season.
55:12 - Kai (None)
And first of all, let me tell you, and the only reason why this happens with that whole like half black Dominican shit is because of y'all two. That's why I have a problem with it, because y'all Dominican and them two they're all little kids in fucking power supposed to be Dominican. They look Dominican to you.
55:32 - Damaris (Host)

56:12 - Kai (None)
All of Mary's kids supposed to be Dominican.
56:15 - Damaris (Host)
They Dominican you don't't know, nobody in your family look like that yes, I do.
56:21 - Kai (None)
I got all this way. No, you don't the oldest ones.
56:31 - Damaris (Host)
Just look like he from the street. For real, they're just no, no, they're just really Americanized. They're not, you know, your typical, you know be nice.
56:47 - Kai (None)
I know you want to be nice. You make me have it all, all that hot air you blowing okay you said poppy with a hard P, not a soft P.
56:59 - Damaris (Host)
That's the tell sign.
57:01 - Kai (None)
And even if you want to do Afro-Dominicans I know Afro-Dominicans Are you all right? Who are not that? So I had to watch it to finish it, but that was my, that was got it. If you listen to my shit, like when I'm reviewing Power, that is the bane of my existence. You are not Dominican. Damn, I can't even get through this shit. Oh my goodness, she's so stuck up, she's like I don't buy it.
57:33 - Damaris (Host)
I don't buy it.
57:33 - Kai (None)
She's like I don't buy.
57:35 - Damaris (Host)
57:56 - Kai (None)
I take insults, that shit, I take personal. You don't understand, I take personal.
58:00 - Damaris (Host)
You're, like I know, too many Dominicans.
58:02 - Kai (None)
I be up on a stipend Like come on.
58:04 - Damaris (Host)
She's like and I'm not feeling the Dominican vibes from you.
58:09 - Kai (None)
I can't believe this whole shit. I can't believe you.
58:16 - Damaris (Host)
A drug dealer, none of that shit. But anyway, oh my goodness, what I do want to get to is a show that you have on your list, house of Dragon, which is based off of the you know the George RR Martin books, you know from Game of Thrones, but it's the prequel, if you will, the series of before the Game of Thrones. So if you watch Game of Thrones, you know the Targaryen family line and this, really this show, house of Dragons, goes deep into the family line Again. Now I'll say this Okay, I watched the first season. I've not watched, this summer, the second season. Okay, and part of it is because the first season I was a little turned off by the fact that I don't know, there's something just about Hollywood and pedophilia like this is this like incestuous love affair they'd love to have? And I'm just like I don't know, like it just didn't. It didn't sit with me well and I know it was fiction, but also not really, because that's the family in England.
59:16
Yes, you're right, you know what you're right and just watching that I'm just like imitating life yes no, you're right, and when I watch that it's just like I don't really need to know about this uncle that is now boning his knees like it's it's gross and and I feel like sometimes watching shows like that tends to normalize it and I'm like this is not normal. I just hope y'all know, like, while it's fun to watch the dragons, I'm like y'all know what just happened, right, gross, okay, thank you.
59:51 - Kai (None)
I think the reason why it's normalized and why it's still a fan base is exactly what I just said the royal family, the biggest monarchy in the world. That's how they are. They're all in pressure, they've married and this and that If you, you know if it's based. You know it's not based in the US, so it's based over there in Europe. It looks like it's Europe. So that's why everybody's like there in Europe, it looks like it's Europe, so that's why everybody's like ah, that's what they do. You know what I'm saying, right?
01:00:20 - Damaris (Host)
That's a thing. For them, it ain't a thing.
01:00:25 - Kai (None)
My biggest people House of Dragons is that you have to remember all these names. Everybody that comes up on a screen is important and I'm just like, and they all have similar names.
01:00:36 - Damaris (Host)
Ray Harris.
01:00:37 - Kai (None)
Jay Ray Harris, Chris Harris, that's the ugly.
01:00:42 - Damaris (Host)
Game of Thrones was difficult on its own, so it's just too much, you know.
01:00:48 - Kai (None)
But the thing about Game of Thrones and the difference between House of Dragons is that House of Dragons is taped dark, so all their banners are like dark green, dark blue, maroon. So I can't really tell. See with the Rose it was red, maroon, Like there were bright colors, gold and all this other stuff. So I can kind of and very distinct sigils too, so I can kind of mentally grasp it.
01:01:17 - Damaris (Host)
You know whose house this is You're like okay this is the family start.
01:01:21 - Kai (None)
I'm so glad that they introduced Sea Smoke regular name, you know. Sunfire regular name, you know, instead of Vararis Malalas. You know these are the dragons. The bomb is the black ball and I'm just like yo. I'm 50 fucking years old, like you gotta. That's why I got my fucking caption on, cause I'm just like wait a minute, let me go back what did he just say, do you? The house. From what Riverwoods it's like too much?
01:01:55 - Damaris (Host)
no, that's why I can't. I have not started House of Dragons, because I know I have to pay attention.
01:02:01 - Kai (None)
I can't sit.
01:02:03 - Damaris (Host)
I've tried and I stopped.
01:02:05 - Kai (None)
Now here's the other shoe of that. They are putting on an acting clinic in the House of Dragons Acting clinic. What Hands down Best acting in the world? Like you're, like you know you feel the emotion.
01:02:25 - Damaris (Host)
You're there with them.
01:02:25 - Kai (None)
You're like, oh ooh, you are acting.
01:02:30 - Damaris (Host)

01:02:35 - Kai (None)

01:02:50 - Damaris (Host)
there and the thing is, the storyline is always good. I'll give that to george. You know, like I call him george, like he's my people, george, he is, he's you know, just his brain is. It's amazing the stories that he puts together, the idea of, like you know, just Game of Thrones. I loved it. I read the books way before the show came out and that's why I was still waiting for books.
01:03:11 - Kai (None)
For him to finish.
01:03:13 - Damaris (Host)
Anyway, that's not going to happen.
01:03:15 - Kai (None)
Yeah, he doesn't need it. You know what I'm saying, Right right, that is quite obvious. But I will say no, but I like that. You need a map, though.
01:03:29 - Damaris (Host)
You need a map? No, no, you do. You need a map, you need to do. You need subtitles. There's a lot of shit, right? So I say, give it a chance. Nachi, yeah, see what you feel like, yeah.
01:03:39 - Kai (None)
I'll try.
01:03:39 - Damaris (Host)
I think I'm still gonna hold off on season two. I don't know. I'm not compelled to right now.
01:03:43 - Kai (None)
Well, Sunday's the season finale.
01:03:45 - Damaris (Host)
It was over on Sunday so it was short.
01:03:50 - Kai (None)
They introduced a lot. I don't know if they're going to close. A lot of storylines Closed one. They opened up a whole ton of other shit. But, like I said, I have to take that slow. That hour for me closed maybe an hour and a half Because I have to rewind.
01:04:12 - Damaris (Host)
You got rewinded. Yes, yes, right. And then you go back to your notes you're like wait you do the family tree, you're like oh wait, that's her dad and they're her dragons do you care? Do you want people to follow you, or anything like that?
