Welcome to another episode of Cool Girls Don't Look at Explosions, where

2

we watch your favorite dude centric shows

really quickly, cause we're not gonna sit

3

through all that misogyny, let's be real.

4

We got Pop Tarts to eat.

5

Lives to live.

6

Laura: That's real.

7

Who are we?

8

Beth: Oh, I'm Beth.

9

Glo: I'm Glow,

10

Laura: And I'm Laura.

11

Glo: and we watch through

12

these shows as quickly as

possible because they are trash.

13

Beth: Garbage.

14

This was an episode that

should have been really

15

fun because Nazi Hunters.

16

Is Season 1, Episode 7, and it

was called Fight Like a Dove.

17

It involves Nazi hunters and

starts with the shanking and is

18

still very hard to get through.

19

Glo: Yep.

20

Little shanking in Paris.

21

Beth: They talk about chocolate

and then there's a stabbing.

22

That should be a banger of an opener, man.

23

Glo: Yeah, but then, and then, , we

bring up Dachau, and then it all

24

Goes away.

25

And there's a lot of talking about

Israel, which is really interesting

26

that Israel is so on the forefront

right now in our news and politics.

27

Laura: Yeah, it is a little awkward

to watch in that context of perhaps

28

some things that are happening in the

country of Israel right now are not.

29

Okay?

30

Glo: Yeah.

31

Beth: Yeah, it's a really It is a very

complex subject that spans decades and

32

I don't think that we have enough time

in the podcast to talk about the episode

33

Laura: And

34

that.

35

Glo: Yeah.

36

And let's just be real, if we wanted to

start a cool girls talk about politics

37

podcast, I would be totally cool with

that, but we're here to entertain.

38

Laura: Those are the bonus episodes.

39

That's what it's going to be,

40

yeah the Nazi hunter is, from

the government of Israel.

41

That's

42

Glo: I was wondering was he part of the

firm because he has the name the Dove

43

Laura: Oh, good get.

44

I don't know.

45

Glo: they

46

Laura: firm is definitely familiar with

47

Beth: I think the firm has

its fingers in a lot of pies.

48

Pies being governments, in this case.

49

That it's I would guess that

the Dove was a bit of a private

50

contractor at times for the firm.

51

But

52

Laura: like he's doing his

own thing, Nazi hunting, right

53

now.

54

Beth: I think his goal was to

find Nazis and make them pay.

55

Again, this episode should have been

way more entertaining than it was

56

because who the fuck doesn't like

to watch somebody hunt down Nazis

57

and

58

Glo: can I ask you guys a question about

the politics of the firm like Are they

59

the baddies or the goodies cuz like

60

Laura: I feel like it's ambiguous, right?

61

Glo: cuz we get

62

Beth: I know I just said we're not gonna

get political, but , I feel like the

63

Firm is the United States government.

64

They do what works best for them

65

Else, pretty much.

66

Laura: It does feel like a little bit

of an allegory for some of the messing

67

around that the United States has done.

68

We've externalized it into the

69

firm, but it's the kind of things that

you hear about these days that it's

70

like, Oh in the seventies we did this,

71

Glo: wait, does that mean that

Stringfellow is really just all of us?

72

Laura: Oh, is he the every man?

73

Beth: No.

74

Laura: he's what we all want to be.

75

Beth: I am calling the police.

76

Glo: Speaking about people

who should call the police

77

This

78

stunt that Stringfellow and Dom are trying

to pull with Airwolf Going into space?

79

Beth: could not give less of a shit,

80

Laura: I know, that's how I felt.

81

I was like, this seems so unrealistic, I

don't know the physics of helicopters,

82

but it all seemed very, so improbable

that I couldn't get behind it

83

and be interested in this scene.

84

Glo: Just so the listener

85

knows what's happening we get these shots

of Airwolf ascending at a ridiculous

86

speed, and it looks stupid because

we know helicopters cannot do this.

87

Beth: Airwolf can, because

it's a special helicopter.

88

Glo: And when they get up to the height

where it starts getting dark, I'm,

89

I literally put in my notes, space,

question mark, exclamation point?

90

And they confirm, they have taken

Airwolf to space at 86, 000 feet.

91

I did not check that height, but I

would assume that is pretty high.

92

Laura: Yeah, border

there that's ephemeral,

93

right?

94

Of what is space and what

is not space, so sure.

95

Glo: Yep.

96

Beth: I am going to say something

a bit controversial here.

97

Laura: Bring it.

98

Beth: Neither of these two

characters are Tyrese or Ludacris.

99

They are not in a Pontiac Fiero.

100

Thus, They cannot go into space.

101

The rule is, you are not in

a Fast and the Furious movie.

102

You cannot go into space.

103

Glo: Are we making a differentiation here?

104

Because I think this is important

that, so We know that Fast and the

105

Furious franchise is definitely

made for the male gaze, right?

106

But are we saying that there

is good male gaze content and

107

there is Trash male gaze content?

108

Because that's very important

for what we're doing here.

109

Beth: I would venture to say yes,

because who doesn't enjoy the Fast

110

and the Furious entire franchise?

111

Zoomies?

112

You got Zoomies.

113

You got Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

114

Glo: You're

115

Laura: I do feel like things get

a little bit more wholesome with

116

Dwayne the Rock Johnson around.

117

Beth: It's true.

118

Glo: I

119

think you're

120

Laura: I feel like he

has a wholesome energy.

121

For a big buff dude,

122

he's extremely wholesome.

123

Glo: maybe it's

124

because The Fast and the Furious doesn't

necessarily take itself so seriously?

125

Beth: That's the key, I

126

Glo: Yeah.

127

Airwolf takes itself

128

Laura: fun at itself a little.

129

yeah.

130

Beth: Airwolf is that guy

who thinks he's an alpha.

131

Laura: Yes.

132

Ha.

133

Glo: Oh I'm sorry, but do you guys, at

the beginning they say that Stringfellow

134

is a reclusive, sensitive loner?

135

But he also takes charge, and

it's just oh my god, what?

136

Every guy

137

watching this is , yeah, I'm a

reclusive sensitive loner too.

138

Ah!

139

Beth: the Rye, all those dudes vibed with

Holden Caulfield and then tried to kill,

140

Laura: I've heard of

141

this, yes.

142

Beth: Stringfellow is Holden

Caulfield in that, metaphor,

143

Glo: listeners, I am an English teacher,

this is Glow, and I just want to say

144

that I do not endorse Catcher of the Rye.

145

I absolutely hated that book.

146

The end.

147

Laura: The other thing about

this whole Airwolf, , testing.

148

Then when we come back

and we hide Airwolf in

149

the Valley of the Gods or whatever.

150

Haha, sorry.

151

Glo: Oh

152

Laura: We hide it in

the Airwolf cave, yes.

153

I couldn't stop thinking about how

the plot of this show really crumbles

154

the second you think about satellites.

155

We probably didn't have satellites

the way we have satellites in today,

156

in 1984, but everybody would know

exactly where Airwolf is today.

157

Glo: Good point.

158

Laura: At all times.

159

Beth: You know what isn't tracked

by satellites when it's in space?

160

A Pontiac Fiero.

161

Glo: So we have a

162

hot girl in the cave that makes

Dom stammer but Hawk is totally

163

fine with giving her a body search.

164

Beth: yeah a little too fine

because at some point she goes,

165

oh, and he's my hands are cold.

166

Like fucker, she's wearing

head to toe fabric.

167

What are you, why are your hands cold?

168

Laura: Yeah, where did

you put them exactly?

169

And they're more concerned with

searching her because she knows she's

170

figured out where Airwolf is and

nobody's supposed to be able to do that.

171

Glo: But we do find out that

172

she's like pretty B.

173

A.

174

She isn't, she is in fact a Nazi hunter.

175

Which we get

176

into a little bit here.

177

Beth: But I do have to state that the

whole them going, How did you find us?

178

No one can find us.

179

Is giving mediocre white man confidence.

180

Glo: It's giving you can't come

up into the secret clubhouse.

181

Beth: Yes, it's giving no girls allowed.

182

Yes.

183

Laura: just put together the clues, like

you left clues and I put them together.

184

What's wrong with you?

185

Beth: Fellas, is it gay to like women

and allow them into your clubhouse?

186

That's what it's

187

Glo: Yep,

188

Laura: yeah good question.

189

Good question.

190

She is the dove's daughter.

191

So,

192

Glo: The person who stabbed the

dove, his name is Hans Dober, also

193

known as Helmut Kruger, who was head

of the Dachau extermination squad.

194

Laura: if you're going to have

a German guy, it's gotta be

195

a Hans or a helmet, right?

196

There's no other options.

197

Glo: absolutely.

198

Laura: your

199

Beth: Or Heinrich.

200

Laura: Heinrich.

201

okay.

202

Beth: Because I think Himmler was actually

the person who, because I did a little bit

203

of research on Dachau for this episode.

204

It was a lot.

205

It was really intense.

206

But yeah, it was actually

the first concentration camp.

207

And it was open for 12 years.

208

And it was opened in 1933 by Himmler.

209

And a lot of experiments happened there.

210

And there were 10, 000

documented deaths, but

211

a lot more undocumented

212

Laura: Oh, yeah, for sure,

213

right?

214

Beth: and yeah, and it was the model

for the other concentration camps.

215

Yeah.

216

Glo: Oh, I've been there.

217

I just

218

had to remember, yeah.

219

Ben and I have been there.

220

Actually, Henry

221

has too, cause I was pregnant

with him when we went.

222

Yeah.

223

And so we took a group of German

language students to Germany

224

and a couple other countries.

225

, we got to go there.

226

And, it's everything people say.

227

You feel the evil there.

228

You feel the, the sadness, the oppression.

229

It's a pretty evil place.

230

Beth: Yeah.

231

Glo: But

232

Laura: Yeah, that it

was open 12 years, you

233

My god.

234

Yeah,

235

Glo: yeah,

236

they've,

237

Laura: that's a long time

to just do these things.

238

Glo: but,

239

Beth: I know.

240

I know.

241

It Ugh.

242

Laura: It boggles the mind

that things don't work.

243

that humans will let things

go this far, this long.

244

Like,

245

Glo: But does that mean that we are

on the side of Airwolf because they're

246

against these terrible Nazi criminals?

247

Yeah,

248

Laura: When we're on the line against

Nazis, we have to side with Airwolf,

249

but we can still like critique Airwolf,

250

Right.

251

Glo: That's

252

Laura: okay.

253

And it's when we don't critique

Airwolf that we like open ourselves

254

up to worse possibilities, right?

255

Beth: Exactly.

256

Laura: Yeah.

257

Beth: Not being allowed to critique

things to make them better is

258

a slippery slope into fascism,

259

as they say.

260

Laura: Totally.

261

Glo: We learn that Halumut Kruger has a

262

fortress in Paraguay that the

government does nothing about.

263

And we also learn that Sarah LeBeau and

her dad, the Dove, have killed 23 Nazis,

264

but Stringfellow has to press Sarah and

say, But how many did you kill personally?

265

Did anybody find that stupid?

266

It's just maybe she

267

Beth: It's giving!

268

Oh, you like that band?

269

Name five songs.

270

Laura: Yes.

271

You hunt Nazis, but how many

did you pull the trigger on?

272

You're not a

273

real Nazi

274

hunter until you've

pulled the trigger on one.

275

Beth: How many Nazis have

you killed, motherfucker?

276

Like, where were you during all

the Nazi hunting, Stringfellow?

277

Glo: Yeah, that was a little stupid.

278

But she found your secret cave, my dude.

279

She puts the hunt in Nazi Hunter.

280

Laura: Yeah, she's got chops.

281

Maybe you shouldn't be, like,

throwing your gates up at her.

282

I don't know.

283

It's silly.

284

Beth: Yeah.

285

Laura: We go back to String's

home, where Archangel, who

286

is now being called Michael.

287

I don't remember if he was

called Michael in the pilot.

288

Maybe he was.

289

I don't know.

290

Beth: I think he was just Dark Angel.

291

Laura: Yeah, I thought he

was just Archangel, but he's

292

being called Michael now.

293

And there's some lady who is new

Gabrielle that doesn't get a name.

294

Glo: Yeah we do not

295

hear her

296

Laura: with them.

297

Yeah.

298

Beth: doesn't get a name, but she

does get creeped out by the dog.

299

Because apparently, that whole the dog

being trained by Stringfellow to look

300

up women's skirts is the cleverest bit

that the writers could come up with.

301

Yikes.

302

Laura: And you know what?

303

You think about it.

304

This dog is an actor, right?

305

This dog had to be trained to

do that, to get this on camera.

306

Cool.

307

Cool.

308

Beth: He was in NAMM.

309

Laura: Yeah.

310

This dog was in NOM.

311

Beth: Yes.

312

Glo: Awesome.

313

Laura: I don't think this dog's

old enough to be in NOM, but

314

Glo: Yep.

315

Have a conversation about black

and white versus gray in politics.

316

I don't know if you were

gonna touch on that.

317

Laura: oh no, but let's do.

318

Beth: I think we should.

319

Glo: They make it really clear that,

Stringfellow is the protagonist

320

here and he is very like, there

is good and there is bad, right?

321

And then, and

322

Michael is like, yeah, no,

there's actually gray areas and we

323

really, the firm really operates

in these gray areas, right?

324

And we,

325

I think this really ties into a lot

of the American mythos of we are on

326

the side that is 100 percent good.

327

And there are shady operations out there

that are in the grays, but really at the

328

end of the day, the reclusive, sensitive

loner is the one who really fights

329

for justice and the only good thing.

330

Beth: Yeah.

331

To tie it all into Nazis and the gray

area, and America did y'all know where

332

the Nazis got the idea for eugenics from?

333

Laura: It was from,

334

Beth: Germany from?

335

Laura: wasn't it the whole Trail of Tears?

336

Wasn't it Andrew

337

Jackson?

338

It's all Andrew Jackson's fault.

339

Beth: Yeah.

340

Laura: Pretty familiar with that

being from Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

341

That's where the Cherokees Trail of Tears

342

ended, was Tahlequah.

343

Glo: I knew

344

Laura: So there were

345

Glo: but I didn't know if it was

specifically your town or that area.

346

Yeah.

347

Laura: yeah different tribes

got ended in different

348

places.

349

Cherokee nations was in Tahlequah

and there's memorials there

350

Beth: The Nazis, they modeled Nazi Germany

off of the Jim Crow laws of the South.

351

That is,

352

Glo: Wow.

353

Beth: We also are the reason

they did eugenics, because

354

we gave them the idea for it.

355

Glo: Wow.

356

Laura: had a lot of things that were

bad foundations that someone else was

357

like, but what if we did this, but more

358

Beth: Yeah.

359

Yeah, and we had Japanese internment

camps during World War Two,

360

Glo: George Takei was in them.

361

Beth: yes, , just look up an

interview with him he really he is

362

very blunt about it, and He goes

into detail and it is bone chilling.

363

Glo: His graphic novel, I think it's

called They Called Us Enemy, is really

364

good.

365

Yeah, it's really good.

366

Laura: I wonder if the media of

this time, the things like airwolf.

367

Have damaged us a little bit in this

way in that, I think there are people

368

our age and younger even that still

don't want to look at the bad things

369

America has done and they still,

part of it might have been like the

370

civics that we got, as millennials,

our civics left a lot of this out.

371

And now we're just going back and

rediscovering it for ourselves.

372

But also the media was this black

and white thing, like Stringfellow.

373

We must always be right

because we are America and

374

there's not that nuance and we're

not comfortable in that nuance.

375

Yeah, I, I wondered about that watching

this too, because the other thing

376

about the Nazis in this show is.

377

And I don't know, there's

probably more Nazis in the show,

378

but\ at least this episode.

379

This guy is he was the head at Dachau

and now he's an arms dealer and he

380

murders people for fun and random and

I'm like, a Nazi was bad enough, right?

381

So we can hunt Nazis for

just being Nazis too, right?

382

Do they need to be like ramped up

every second about how evil they are?

383

I don't know.

384

Were plenty of Nazis who did that, who

like, they had been in Nazi Germany, they

385

escaped to South America or whatever.

386

We know that happened a little bit.

387

And they just laid low for the rest

of their lives, avoiding justice.

388

Bringing them to justice

was, is still important.

389

They didn't have to be arms

dealers to need justice.

390

I don't know.

391

Glo: Yeah, if they had just been

meditating on a hilltop somewhere are

392

they less deserving of being prosecuted?

393

Beth: It's really interesting to me

that the writers chose to throw in

394

that there's a gray area in all of

this and made their bad guy, so 2D.

395

Laura: Yeah.

396

He was so starkly black, but you're

telling me there's a gray area.

397

There'd be a little more gray area if

it was like, maybe he was just doing

398

science for the Paraguay government

and the Paraguay government was trying

399

to, hide him and we're actually against

Paraguay getting this guy out and maybe

400

he like expresses regret at the end.

401

Yeah, I guess it's time

for me to face the music.

402

That's a little more

403

gray to me than I'm selling arms

to everybody and I don't know.

404

Beth: Or maybe even tying in Operation

Paperclip where the American government

405

flew in a bunch of Nazi doctors,

Nazi scientists to work in NASA and

406

stuff and hit it, that'd be a good

tie in for this episode if we're

407

talking about, black and white versus

408

Laura: and gray.

409

sure.

410

We do a lot of avoiding the gray.

411

We just talk about the gray.

412

We don't

413

illustrate the gray.

414

Glo: mean, they do,

415

Beth: It's performative.

416

Gray

417

Glo: yeah, and I agree with you.

418

They definitely put him in the

black when they talk about TOR,

419

which is their defensive unit that

he's trying to show off to all

420

these different governments, right?

421

And not only is he showing off this

defensive unit that he's trying to sell

422

to all these different governments,

he gives a Luftwaffe pilot, a million

423

dollars if he can evade the TOR missiles.

424

And all of a sudden we're like, oh,

not only is he evil, he's psychotic.

425

And,

426

Laura: He just murdered a guy for fun in a

427

plane with missiles.

428

Glo: they gave the, he at

least gave the guy agency.

429

He was giving him a million dollars

if he evades the TOR weapons.

430

But, we this guy is a baddie.

431

He's not very, He doesn't

he is all business.

432

Laura: Huh.

433

Yeah.

434

He is the blackest of Nazi villains,

435

if we're talking black

and white dichotomy.

436

Huh.

437

Yeah so we see him

murder a guy in Paraguay.

438

I laughed so hard at Paraguay

because it was the most

439

deciduous forest I've ever seen.

440

Glo: Okay.

441

Can I tell you guys something?

442

Okay.

443

This is jumping ahead a little bit, but

Laura gave me the perfect segue for this.

444

So later on, when we are backing Paraguay

and the hot ladies are massaging Kruger.

445

Okay.

446

Laura: Oh my god,

447

for

448

real?

449

Glo: So I'm

450

a bird nerd or an aspiring bird nerd.

451

Okay.

452

And

453

yes and there is a very

distinctive bird call.

454

That's going on during this scene.

455

So what I did was I opened my Merlin

app, which tells you what birds

456

there and I probably messed up their

algorithm because I found a Northern

457

Mockingbird in the, in this and

458

Laura: in Paraguay, yeah.

459

Glo: which I had, I did

a little bit of research.

460

Now, Laura, Northern

Mockingbirds are in Oklahoma.

461

Laura: Oh, neat.

462

Glo: but their range is

only maybe a little bit of

463

Southern Canada down to Mexico.

464

So there are absolutely no

Northern Mockingbirds in Paraguay,

465

meaning that this was absolutely

filmed probably in California.

466

Let's just be real.

467

Laura: Yeah.

468

We had Libya in the pilot that

looked very un Libya to me.

469

Paraguay also does not appear to be

470

Paraguay.

471

Lebeau is headed out with Hawk and

Dominic and she talks She can show

472

them the factories in Texas that are

supplying Kruger with these weapons.

473

Glo: Yeah.

474

Laura: was like, wow.

475

I see it.

476

I'm close to Texas.

477

I believe it a hundred percent.

478

But all she really cares about is Kruger.

479

She's I don't really care that you

guys are manufacturing these weapons.

480

You got to do your GDP and

stuff, but I want the Nazi.

481

Let's get that Nazi.

482

Glo: Yeah.

483

and the dude Kruger, we have a whole

scene, I don't know if I'm skipping

484

too much, but he makes it really clear.

485

I'm just the middle man, but I

also determine which side wins.

486

Laura: Yeah, and he's got some Arab

country there is the implication,

487

watching, looking at these weapons.

488

Iran.

489

And then maybe others,

but I don't know that

490

they actually mention others.

491

Glo: Yeah, they don't mention other

492

Laura: if I just wasn't

493

Glo: but later on, they do talk about the

Iranians are in the works, but later on

494

he threatens the Iranian buyer saying,

I could just sell this to your brother.

495

Meaning, I assume that means that his

brother is in power somewhere else.

496

Laura: Yeah, I don't know.

497

Beth: Oh, I thought it was like a

metaphor, like I could sell this to Iraq.

498

Glo: Oh!

499

Laura: could be.

500

Could be literal or could be figurative.

501

Glo: That's a good

502

Laura: it would work either way.

503

Glo: This has been Literature Literary

Terms with Beth, Laura, and Glow.

504

Can we please call

505

Laura: Strok.

506

Glo: STROCK!

507

String Stringfellowhug

508

Laura: and Hawk at the same

time and it came out bad.

509

Glo: merch.

510

Beth: Alright, new plan.

511

We're gonna have a shirt on our

Patreon that says Strock and

512

underneath it is the iguana.

513

That's it.

514

Laura: will think it's a

cool band or something, yeah.

515

So

516

So String and Sarah are not doing

this with the Firm's blessing.

517

We had heard Michael try to

like discourage Hawk from

518

doing , they calls the Airwolf.

519

And Hawk is deliberately like, one

wording his can't trace the call.

520

, but, basically, nothing, he

just says, I'm going to go do

521

this anyway, and they hang up.

522

The of Michael calls for an F 15

and a series of mid air refuels.

523

So they're clearly trying

to get somewhere very fast.

524

Did write down

525

in this next scene, I guess they're

talking on the airwolf uh, Sarah

526

and, and Hawk, makes fun of Hawk

for being such a brick, I guess.

527

Glo: Get

528

him.

529

Beth: I think this was, this

may have been the part where

530

I wrote Accidental Feminism.

531

Cause at some point, I know, and

we haven't played that game yet.

532

So, she says something about

how no, I think it was too dumb.

533

Where she says you'd

be, look at you smiling.

534

Oh no, it was definitely Stringfell.

535

Look at you smiling.

536

You're so much prettier

when you smile or something.

537

Cause

538

Glo: do you guys think that the writer's

room for this is five dudes and one

539

Laura: And one lady who sneaks

in some really good barbs

540

every now and again.

541

Glo: A little bit, some of the

characters, even though they are

542

definitely or made for the male gaze,

they do poke fun every once in a while.

543

Laura: Yeah, it could be a lady

or maybe it's a queer dude.

544

I don't know,

545

but, uh, I, I

546

Glo: or maybe like a dude who

547

like, maybe a dude who just like actually

loves his wife and listens to her.

548

Beth: Yeah.

549

Maybe he was like one of

those what secret wife guys.

550

Cause he's not allowed to

551

Laura: Right, right.

552

So he, to that like on

the, on the down low.

553

has to call her the ball

and chain and stuff.

554

I don't

555

Glo: I mean.

556

Cut, on the flip side, it's quite

possible that this is also just a, aw,

557

look at how feisty she is situation and

they are still just writing these women

558

Laura: Yeah, they're just writing feisty

woman now instead of something else.

559

Yeah, could be, could be.

560

in Paraguay, Kruger is

still showing off his shit.

561

I swear to God, he had a napkin

tucked into his shirt at all times.

562

Aaron says it was an ascot.

563

I'm like, no, that was a goddamn napkin.

564

And he's like chewing all the time.

565

Did anybody else notice

566

this?

567

He's always chewing.

568

Glo: No, you're totally right.

569

He was eating

570

the whole time.

571

Beth: isn't there denture gum?

572

Though maybe he just had denture

gum, and he was, like, chewing on

573

the gum for your, what's it called?

574

Fondant?

575

No, that's what you put on cakes

that taste like shit, and you're

576

like, somebody poisoned my cake.

577

The,

578

Glo: Yeah, I know, what

you're talking about.

579

Yeah, fix it

580

Beth: Fix a dent!

581

Laura: I don't know.

582

I thought it was chewing.

583

I

584

thought it was implied he was,

like, always snacking and had

585

this

586

napkin in his

587

Glo: yeah, I think it's just

to show his decadence look at

588

me, I'm eating caviar on the

589

Laura: Yeah, he's Hedonism Bot from

590

Futurama.

591

Beth: Oh.

592

I can't!

593

I would imagine, though, that the

napkin probably represented an ascot,

594

but they didn't have any money, cause

595

Glo: They can't go to Paraguay.

596

Beth: to Airwolf.

597

Like,

598

Glo: I have so much to

599

say about their budget, but I'm

going to save this one for later.

600

Oh my gosh, later on.

601

Beth: They blew all their

money on Paraguay, so

602

Laura: on the bikini

603

ladies.

604

They were pretty

605

hot.

606

Glo: Yeah, they were hot.

607

Beth: They were

608

Laura: So, Airwolf gets a closer

scan, , but surprise, something

609

is jamming their frequencies.

610

Oh no.

611

oh look, we like Binoculars Inn and

it's Archangel hanging out with a Nazi.

612

Bad look to commercial.

613

Beth: Yeah.

614

Glo: And

615

honestly,

616

Beth: the bringing it back to

the gray area from earlier.

617

Glo: We saying that the

firm is working with Kruger?

618

Laura: Yeah.

619

I'm pretty sure they

confirm it later, right?

620

Glo: Okay.

621

Beth: they do.

622

And then she shoots some, she

shoots Archangel in the ear.

623

Laura: I have things

to say about that, but

624

Beth: I can't

625

Laura: We'll get there,

626

Glo: Oh my god.

627

We'll get there.

628

Beth: The actress's name,

Lebeau is the actress Lebeau.

629

Her her actual name I

believe is Tova, which

630

is a dope

631

Glo: So she's She is actually Jewish

632

Laura: pretty sure.

633

Glo: that is a

634

Jewish name.

635

Laura: Okay, so they are in

the Lowe's garden center.

636

Uh, The have concealed Air

Wolf under one of those like,

637

Glo: my god,

638

you're right.

639

Laura: Yeah.

640

Glo: Yep.

641

The Cargo

642

Laura: Sarah Pester's Hawk about

Archangel gave up your frequencies.

643

He's on their side.

644

He's a Nazi too.

645

You know, the, just be

friends with a Nazi.

646

Like if you're friends with a Nazi.

647

you are a Nazi.

648

Hawk That Archangel is friends

with the Nazi, he's just playing a

649

game like, just, let's just Okay.

650

Beth: That's a really

fucked up game, but sure.

651

Sword String Fellow!

652

Glo: But also,

653

he keeps working with the firm

after this, so are we saying that

654

that Spock is cool with Nazis?

655

Are we saying this?

656

Beth: No I think he's being

blackmailed by Nazis, right?

657

Because

658

Laura: I think he was

playing a long game with the

659

Nazis,

660

right, To like,

661

if I

662

Glo: Okay.

663

Beth: yeah,

664

Laura: well, I'll sell them this

stuff, I actually have like a fail

665

safe built in can't use it, so I'm

just like playing against them.

666

Beth: I guess.

667

I don't know, the firm is definitely

extorting stock because he because

668

they're like, we can find your brother,

669

Laura: Mm hmm.

670

Beth: if you help us.

671

I do need to find Saint John.

672

I am not

673

Laura: Sinjin?

674

Beth: Stingen because that's

675

Laura: I have a hard time with it, yeah.

676

Okay so, Archangel is threatening

to turn off Kruger's missile supply.

677

So, it is the firm confirmed

that Light controls his stuff.

678

Beth: And then Tova shoots him in the ear.

679

Oh, nope,

680

Laura: Krueger orders,

681

Glo: that was, that's way in the

682

Laura: yeah,

683

Krueger

684

orders him to call off the helicopter.

685

And the only reason he's doing that is

he wants to track the helicopter down.

686

He's just gonna follow Archangel.

687

Because we need to see Archangel

come up over the ri er We need to

688

see Airwolf come up over the ridge.

689

Glo: It looks

690

Laura: it does look

691

Beth: Yeah.

692

and your audience at some point

is going to die of boredom

693

if you don't produce

some sort of intrigue.

694

Laura: a lot of

695

talking.

696

Glo: We find out that Sarah knows

697

Laura: Yes, I did not like this, that

Sarah knows Michael because she met him

698

when she was a very beautiful little

699

girl, is what

700

Michael says.

701

Michael, who we know like, takes

young impressionable women and

702

molds them into spies to be killed.

703

Beth: Yeah, I believe in my notes.

704

I forgot my notes, everybody.

705

I believe my notes at this point just

said red flag and I boxed it and I

706

just underlined the shit out of it.

707

Glo: But she makes fun of him and,

good for her because she's wow,

708

yeah hey old man, you're falling

apart, you've lost your eye, and you

709

can't walk without a cane, and

then later on she snipes his ear

710

Laura: Yeah.

711

Revenge.

712

Beth: Take that, you old bitch!

713

Laura: little girl now.

714

The plan here, but whoops, the Nazi

found them, so we've got to disperse.

715

Beth: Yeah.

716

Laura: out in the airwolf and

lead everybody on a chase.

717

, the missile footage, could not stop

718

laughing.

719

Glo: Guys, Guys, I put down, it's

like somebody holding a paper airplane

720

and trying to make it look like it's

actually flying in a, in a little

721

kid movie or something like that.

722

Beth: Yeah.

723

it's I just had an image while I was

watching this of some poor PA just

724

like sitting there I went to Juilliard.

725

This

726

Laura: looked like somebody was just

holding a missile out a car window and

727

we're filming everything that's going by.

728

Like it was just so, so bad.

729

Glo: Yup.

730

Laura: Of course,

731

Glo: they don't even try.

732

I

733

don't even think that there is

footage of the whole missile.

734

It's just like the red tipped.

735

front of the missile, semi

off frame to make it look like

736

it's zooming toward Airwolf.

737

Beth: You know who would have

made that missile look better?

738

Dominic Peretti.

739

Laura: Mm.

740

Glo: Heck yeah.

741

Beth: Some muscle cars.

742

This is a Fast and Furious

podcast now, bitch.

743

Laura: Of course, Airwolf gets

744

away.

745

Uh, this is where we get

the Nazi and the Bikini

746

Girls, and ladies, did you notice that

he had the most basic ass lawn chairs?

747

Like, the metal The

748

little plasticky strips across

it like, if you're gonna be in

749

Paraguay at like, Palace or whatever,

these are the lawn chairs you get?

750

Beth: Yeah, with some

bombshells rubbing you down

751

sir.

752

Laura: basic.

753

Beth: Get you some comfortable

754

Glo: we know because of the

Northern Mockingbird singing

755

in the background, right?

756

That maybe this was just filmed at

the showrunner's backyard and they

757

had to find something for the dude to

758

Laura: Yeah, they hired some neighborhood

ladies to be the bikini girls.

759

Beth: Damn, what neighborhood that?

760

What water are they drinking

in that neighborhood?

761

Laura: Okay, so these, these

TOR missiles came from the firm.

762

That's

763

confirmed at this

764

point.

765

Glo: Confirmed.

766

Laura: they were intending for them

to be sold to the Iranians, I guess.

767

Glo: But they can't use them.

768

Laura: slaps Archangel, I

769

think?

770

She slaps somebody.

771

Well, if he hadn't sold it to them, the

Russians would have sold it to them.

772

And I'm like, okay.

773

Alright but Archangel's got a, button

push and make all these missiles

774

useless, deactivate everything.

775

So.

776

Really, he, was trying to get

the missiles sold to the Iranians

777

so he could turn them off.

778

Glo: So are the firm the goodies?

779

Laura: Oh no, it's gray

780

again.

781

Isn't it?

782

Glo: Ugh, so

783

gray.

784

Laura: Hehehehe.

785

Beth: I believe this was around the

time of the Iran Contra affair, so I

786

think in this case the firm was the

goodies and Ronald Reagan was the baddie.

787

Laura: Mhm.

788

Beth: in a

789

Glo: not a fun way.

790

baddie.

791

Beth: Yeah, not like how the baddies

who are massaging the gross Nazi

792

dudes were baddies, but like how

793

Laura: Is a baddie.

794

Yeah.

795

Beth: is a piece of shit kind of

796

baddie.

797

Glo: This has been Cool

798

Girls Don't Like Ronald Reagan.

799

Thank you for joining us today.

800

Beth: Yeah just a side note,

if you're a fan of Ronald

801

Reagan, I'm gonna tell you now

802

Laura: Yeah, you probably just want to

803

Beth: you.

804

Laura: Or don't, you know, maybe

stay and maybe learn something.

805

Beth: Yeah.

806

Glo: Yep.

807

Beth: Or, it's okay.

808

If you can't handle this podcast,

Joe Rogan's fine for you.

809

Go,

810

Glo: Like and subscribe or send

811

us our first hate mail.

812

At least it's engagement.

813

Laura: ask for that.

814

Glo: Ha!

815

Beth: not the podcast network for you.

816

That was too

817

Glo: Ja'far is also confirming

that the other podcasts

818

are also not probably going to be your

819

Laura: you'll just want

to not find a new network.

820

Okay.

821

Glo: Anyway.

822

Laura: Sarah wants to go in with Archangel

to get this Nazi, and the Oboe of Feelings

823

starts playing, and Hawk tells her that

he doesn't want her to live with the

824

weight of revenge and stuff like that.

825

She says that she won't die,

he doesn't want her to die.

826

And he tells her not to make

promises she can't keep.

827

And this is definitely the same like,

musical Gabrielle was around in the pilot.

828

Like, he's remembering Gabrielle died and

829

stuff.

830

I don't know.

831

I was just like,

832

Glo: And then he says, what, and she says,

she said, what woman promised you that?

833

And he says, all of them,

834

Laura: Okay, how many women have died

in your weird games, Stringfellow

835

Hawk?

836

Jesus Christ.

837

Glo: Before Gabrielle, there must've been

838

Laura: Or

839

in between.

840

We missed some episodes.

841

Yeah.

842

Yeah.

843

Glo: That's true.

844

Oh, that's a good point.

845

So we're not actually sure what

our hot lady body count is up to.

846

Beth: No.

847

I will say that Experiencing

traumatic loss Is not a good

848

excuse To be a misogynist.

849

Go to therapy.

850

Glo: You heard it here, folks.

851

Laura: Go to therapy.

852

The main message of our podcast.

853

Beth: Pretty much.

854

Have you tried therapy?

855

Glo: guys go to therapy, the podcast.

856

Laura: So Archangel takes

a three minute break.

857

They're driving in the jeep.

858

He takes a break they just, Sarah

and Archangel talk about her work and

859

revenge and then Archangel's like,

haha, I'm not going to take you.

860

You stay here with the jeep.

861

, she finally.

862

We've been alluding to it throughout

the podcast, but she shoots

863

him in the ear and it's great.

864

Glo: Sarah also moonlights as a

Claire's ear piercer, just so you

865

Laura: Uh huh.

866

gets those

867

keys and she's off.

868

Beth: Alright, that's an idea for a shirt.

869

Just Sarah's in

870

Laura: Uh huh.

871

Yeah.

872

Glo: I would wear that!

873

Beth: We're good.

874

Glo: And just a few blood

spurts going down the shoulder.

875

Beth: And maybe just an ear dangling off.

876

The ear is the apostrophe.

877

Yeah,

878

Laura: Yeah.

879

Little blood dripping.

880

Glo: Welcome to our fashion closet.

881

This is our fashion cast.

882

Beth: Hope you're ready for

some weird ass merch, y'all.

883

Laura: Okay, so Kruger fires

the missiles, + at Airwolf.

884

do all their little fancy flying.

885

There's only one missile left!

886

And then Airwolf shoots the

palace grounds, which I guess

887

tricks the heat seeking centers.

888

into going after the palace

grounds instead of Erewolf and

889

Sarah is there in the wreckage

as Kruger's trying to get away.

890

She pulls a gun on Kruger and there's

a tense moment of, is she going to

891

murder him or is she going to take him

892

in?

893

Glo: Which was so cool.

894

It was actually, that was

actually pretty badass.

895

Laura: I'm down.

896

Go for it, Sarah.

897

Glo: But the real moral of this story,

guys, is that TOR, the missile system,

898

does shoot down the German plane,

but cannot get Airwolf, meaning,

899

America, baby, America's the best.

900

That's really what all of this is about.

901

Beth: Fuck yeah!

902

Airwolf!

903

Fuck yeah!

904

Bandits!

905

Fuck yeah!

906

Laura: I don't know where it's

at, but I want it to be Montana.

907

Sarah shot Archangel.

908

And she says, well,

wasn't listening to me.

909

it's just, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

910

That's

911

Glo: eighties ending

912

Beth: It's really, I feel like if they

weren't such fucking cowards, the writers,

913

what they would have done is gone, is

like, she was like, listening to me

921

922

Glo: Guys.

926

Can we end the podcast with us?

927

Just cackling.

928

Laura: I'm down.

929

Glo: Okay, ready?

930

One,

931

two, three.
