working with up like everybody along to derail the Ben mankiewicz I
the penultimate episode of season 1 I'm looking up said seven
are looking for a plus one I you know I I knew that once they got patrick
and Richie together Richie not Frankie
I got the names now %uh that God was gonna
mess it up and da he has I heard but it's interesting that we get to meet the
mom who clearly has hovered over him so much
and maybe more than she deserves to have you know
right maybe she did less suffering the imagined her ivory
right for you notice was on the apparent like they do a little amend you just
exacerbated your own brain and
you let me know reverberate more it to me
happy absurd realize that was Julia Duffy well really I didn't do it took me
until now
the I back but use very familiar I just remember thinking at a check to get a
check
um I I'm trying to figure out why I think my problem
it with the I looking as a quality show there's no question but my objections to
it I think
unfortunately all go back to Patrick
in like this is a character who you know where's
SIII I always end up comparing it to girls because it's seems like a
companion Julia
in many ways I think the network is not rape unintentionally right pairing they
have no problem with doing them
and while there narcissism is
difficult at times they are not completely unaware of their surroundings
and Patrick strikes me as among the most clueless
protagonist I get different like like the cluelessness have Lord Grantham on
down ahaha
music right right it's right now he chooses Patrick
I mean misreads signals from everyone all the time
including himself me he wants Kevin the kiss 'em
and then when the doesn't when he does that was actually I thought like 10 the
small one the most mature things he's done all season was to like okay you're
drunk
your boyfriend's here I'm trying to wrestle with my boyfriend
let's not have this moment that we could very easily have because we're
in another place certainly who could blame it on being drunk later I don't do
it but
in the manner I'll the the the way he
put some of which I'm of will discourage Kevin I would think
as opposed to it's a terrible idea
pro like you know there was just like he doesn't get people and it continually
sort of puts him behind the eight ball and get himself he didn't get his mom
mmm you know I mean he's all of a sudden the
his twice in what I mean to to mistakenly take the moral high ground
when Richie very kindly says
I'll Drive you're driving to meet your mother and show off your boyfriend you
have every reason to be acting like a dick
and you are acting like a deck and I'm prepared to give you a 100 percent pass
right smoke some weed I'll Drive take a deep breath
fall asleep if you want he'd angry at that know what is mom to Mom or get a
nice bowl with mommy doesn't get
I I i'm not mean I don't like people like that I don't
I don't like best music he's exasperating but I A
I don't love me again if you are in my life you drive me crazy as a character
though I find him interesting
I i find him to be somebody who is stumbling their way
to figuring out who they are and what they want and how to get its
and I AM enjoying that
journey you know I I'm enjoying watching a make those falls them
and and and take those missteps some
because I think it that the average is because Jonathan Groff is so
a charismatic or just that I kinda
I see such I have hope for what Patrick could be once he gets his shit together
but you know i i my my my I kinda wanna see we're all goes I want to be there as
he figures it out finding this care
this charisma and Jonathan Groff right now real I guess but like a
and and and part of it seems to be the way the character is
at a maybe so much so that I have come to show shorter be be frustrated
exasperated with the character I mean just that there was that moment
when that bad Wednesday word the the you know the best man to ever was was
are the father maybe was they were toasting giving speeches
and you know and he has that look up like
they say something awkward news like idk
I'm like that's it that's a whole life is like this store I this not go above
love listen in so that it's so hard to capture him yet into seven episodes
like I want a blooper reel
moment with them from I and I'm so you know
because you root for people I'd like him to get there but it just seems like
he goes through life complaining about a hit I can't believe the day I had an
eerie sight today that
eighty-eight percent of people have all the time yeah and I grabbed
I'll believe that yeah radio here so you live work play then there was traffic in
your boss action directors up while
what a day called media yeah I am now course Argosy meanwhile has
pretty much been ruined a his relationship with frank over
you know moving out of the art show and
hiring a hooker hiring a hooker her hunger for not telling him he had the
that the big by the but the two are 20 bucks that the thing you know I'll
usually they're more than I wear them depend on how efficient you are you
arm do we think now he is gonna come moving back in with Patrick and bring
all of his crazy toxic baggage with him I guess so
so now so patterns could be juggling or telling if there are you sure you're
course
soap at a time when we juggling roommate Augustine
a strange dream you know Richie and the you know
the forty cabins though right and
you know and that season 2 persons with that manner in which he presented
into the horror I guess I was also super annoyed at the way Patrick presented
Richie to his mother
you know the way this crime is right and that his mother says like any parent
would
well directionless cuts hair doesn't ever want to do anymore doesn't care
about life never wants to go to college she goes
what a catch right better that this project when you sell them like that
yeah I G correct I was so pleased that she should warn you you are a wreck when
used
tell me that and then he's like I knew you'd feel with you
because they're created that right now you just created the master the
self-fulfilling prophecy you know and and and yeah he he
he goes into situations says and does the new
absolutely wrong thing and then of course bitches about how
you know he camp finding the right guy are there this day with a real workout
warrior cuz you sabotage yourself the way you do
and nearly every turn you know the one time I think we've seen him
for the few times using sort of take the right step was when
Kevin can I call them on like actually being committed to work
you know any women that weekend and your friend but that's all that's happened in
the thing and so
he's not incapable a bit but he's just this dumb shit twenty-something guy
and as my buddy we've all known or be in that dumb shit twenty-something guy who
just needs enough kick in the pants
to serve you know get their act together by were Richie
I would take measure the situation I I would get out
like you know which is presumably not directionless and has some aspirations
range not college but I'm
in not only his own place we know that well I think rejected by one minor in
some places want someone else to characterize that for him
yeah I know I'm not defending that was that was another
bonehead move on Patrick's party yeah and just they don't seem right for each
other
clean anyway come you know I you know me but I think he wants to slum it but is
even know what that means
I think already thinks it means that literally so you think's therefore
the people who we would traditionally slow with that they're somehow less I
think we learn from other survivors the Patrick at his best
is the right person for Richie right but we get Patrick is best so infrequently
right that's the problem solving the the the course the show's gonna be Patrick
learning to embrace that part of himself but isn't the
self-defeating stupid be no presumptuous guy
and then be worthy of having Richard as Livorno before we go will peri-peri
chicken work
how do i you know i three DOM is wrong he should be out in front and this is an
investor Dooney
shows a bill to make the fucking chicken and then bibi president right beaded
greasy pole then
talk to people it's part of the things you here this institutional later then
spend the same restaurant for 28 years everybody knows your local character
you're selling %um so you know get law with Scott Bakula that's the message
here
of he knows who break here said you hated UK such a good guy
yeah so what I now we've got back UN had the
his but was there the day is that his ex-wife and now for got dat was da
married urs that I they were a girlfriend was girlfriend another
roommate saddam
yeah and she clearly thanks she's bitchy be good person
tried to very subtly you tell him this one
listen they want to but with a side of me wants to help you yeah he wants to do
is help it you know
but once again but I get don's vaults are
I identifiable you know they're you know our
stubbornness and and and and hubris and
and and and and a determination disorder make it on your own otherwise it doesn't
count
right you know a which is silly but
but all but stone recognized by lira totally wrecked that with
okay so this is one more Turner part but there but as we know but there is a
season 2
