Sorry, we're low on shopping carts. They haven't sent us new ones in a while, and a bunch of ours got busted because some teens turned them into BattleBots. Oh yeah, so then on YouTube do that kids survived? Oh well kinda, they couldn't fully get the wheel out. So welcome to
Cloud nine Superstore Podcast. I'm Jason and I'm BB and it's time to talk about season six, episode thirteen, Lowell Anderson, which aired on March eighteenth, twenty twenty one, Written by Rene Gube and Josh Melmoth and directed by Kabir Aktar. And as you know, this is almost the last episode. Next week is the two final episodes, so send in your thoughts when you
watch it, let us know what you think. Yeah, you can email us Superstore Podcast at gmail dot com, us on Facebook or Twitter at Superstore Pod and we'll talk about it. Yeah, it's crazy that this is finally coming to an end. Bittersweet for sure. Yeah, I think we were starting to get that feeling in the episode. Yeah. Do you want to talk about the episode before we get into the like finality of it. Yeah, I mean, off the top, how do you feel about it?
It was okay, not one of my favorites. But I like that they featured like Sandra and Mateo and them. Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. It wasn't It was maybe like the weakest one of the seasons for me. It started funny, kind of I wish they would have gotten on this guy who was eating snacks off of the floor for not wearing a
mask. Yeah, that could have been like a viral moment too, because we've seen so many like Karen's and like Jim Bobs grocery stores that are like not wearing masks and they get confronted by employees and it just kind of explodes. Yeah, and that would have been kind of an interesting take on that, you know, because he just walks in and he's above the rules the whole time, and yeah, and then he has horrible ideas. Yeah. I think that's like the part of the episode. I just wasn't all that
interesting to me or all that entertaining to see him be a dick. Yeah, you're Lowell Anderson. This is Lowell Anderson. Cool. The more I hear it, the more it just sounds like a furniture store, like the son of Doug Anderson, the founder of Cloud nine. I wish there was more like conflict between him and Cheyenne, Like it was almost there, yeah, like it was starting the build. Yeah, it should have been more.
She fell flat and it was so sad to see her not really like own that space in a way that was like up in his face, you know what I mean, Because you can tell that she's had to deal with dumb ass bullshit living with a motherfucker like Bo that she should know how to shut shit down. But she went, she whimpered, she withered, and it was just so disappointing and disheartening to see her doing that. Let's take everything out of the boxes, everything like in the whole store. Maybe we
should talk the idea through before we decide if it's good. And then she calls fucking Amy. I was just like, whatever, whatever. I think she could have handled that. But I'm glad she called Amy because I know they're tying her into the last episodes. And they tied Amy in with Jonah too, so that makes sense, I guess. Yeah, So I guess. Another just interesting point on Cheyenne is like she didn't have any like funny lines this episode. I don't feel like she's like she usually gets some like
good singers in there. She was a straight man. Yeah, she was being the serious one against this ridiculous guy. Yeah. I didn't like it. There's a sense of like maturity. No, No, that loses her luster though, Like she's she's kind of like the unexpected airhead who's a genius. Yeah, she's like ditsy and kind of like the funniest thing she said was give me Trinity's number. You know, this is so mess but your hair looks really good and if you could text me Trinity's number, that would
be great. Yeah. No, and she she just I don't know. I hope they don't like take away her like fun loving energy for the new show that she's going to be like the star of. Basically, I'm a little nervous about that because I know that she's going to have a white male lead next to her, and I'm worried that like he's gonna overpower her in
a lot of ways in terms of the character development and writing. Yeah, and she's going to have to be the the one that's always like squishing and like conforming to him, and she won't have any of her own ideas or thoughts. It'll just be him. Kind of driving the plot, and I just I'm hesitant to kind of engage in that. I'm not worried yet because it hasn't happened, right, Yeah, not thinking too much about it if you don't know where. There's a spinoff potentially coming called Bow and Cheyenne.
But yeah, I'm kind of I want to see where Superstore leaves. Everybody, do you have to pee before we get started? Nope? No, last chance? Oh actually no, I have to pee? Yeah. Yeah. The craziest or the most like out there thing that she was doing was wearing that sweater. Yeah that's really sweater. Okay, well let's talk about what we do like okay, yeah, coming in negative. Sandra is still
really invested in the Jonah and naming relationships. She is shipping them to this day, and she like whiffed a little bit of a online surveying from Jonah because Jonah caught wind that Amy was in the mountains from his current girlfriend. Oh did you talk to Amy? Yeah? Her connection was terrible. I guess she's in some cabin up in the mountains. Oh nice? Nice? Did she happen to say who she was there with? Work retreat? Big
group? And I didn't ask why nothing? And he goes on social media like rabbit hole, and we find out that Sandra has a board of like all of her favorite images from the Internet that she prints off and puts up on her wall. I've been monitoring her social media for months. I print out the good ones and I put them up on a board. How she is aware of everybody's regular social media accounts as well as their fins. Does I even know about everyone's fick accounts? Huh? People have fake accounts.
It's weird, is it? Scott McPhee who only follows organic farms and influencer under her ladies. And she's not just like excitedly watching this as like a fan. She's like ready to move in and make things happen. Yeah, she's ready for them to get married and him to like, you know, swoop in and take her out and propose. She's ready, She's been ready, and she kind of I think, led him, like she pulled him
into her world a little bit. And at the end of it, like Jonah was like, I don't want to have a relationship with Amy to that, and Sandra says, then what are we doing this for? I'm over Amy? Okay, and I'm with Hannah, Now what the have we been doing all day? And I think that was a question that Jonah never asked himself, and that you could see that he was like, Oh, what why am I doing this? Yeah? Why am I invested in? What's
up to? And is it creepier that? Like, is it more or less creepy that he was trying to find out who her daughter who was a teen Maybe a little bit, but he was also like living there and was involved in that was there? Yeah, Like I feel like being somewhat in touch with them isn't the weirdest? Yeah? I guess definitely more so with Emma than the Parker. The young one. The young one don't have no social media account though, right. It was funny though that they did find
the last clue with Emma being hashtag high in the Mountains. Yeah, although I am concerned about hashtag high in the mountains? Do you think Emma's smoking pot? Again? Who cares? What matters is that Amy's single? And that was when we did get his role in the relationship with the kids as like a concerned kind of guardian saying like, oh, do you think she's smoking pot again? I hope not kind of moment. That was funny because I definitely heard that hashtag and it was like, are they not going to
acknowledge what that probably means? I didn't even think about it. I'm usually the one that's doing that kind of thing, So that was funny. She's one of those like double meaning things her mom can see and her friends can see and have different ideas. Yeah, so yeah, there's that aspect.
And we all said Jonah and Hannah, and we really kind of saw that she was not really responding when he was trying to be have like a deeper connection and express like, hell he was feeling I don't remember that too much when they were at dinner, she was when he tried to kind of open up, she wasn't really being responsive. And then he pivoted back to Carol and then she like livened up again. That's true. Last year was tough, and being here with you is it's better. It's it's a it's a
lot better. I mean, obviously if Carol were here, that would be best, that would be the ideal scenario. Oh do you want me to? That connects her all the about Carol in that relationship, and he was trying to feel it out. I guess maybe that's what's driving him back to Amy because he had a more deep connection or something and they were together for a long time. That could be it. I think he was trying to tell her like, I'm I'm happy in this relationship and then that just kind
of fell flat on her and it's probably gonna drive him away. Yeah, well, I just I don't know, like maybe she just doesn't understand the depth of that, you know, like what he means when he says that, because she has no idea that he was like stalking his ex like a couple of hours ago. So she's kind of an oblivious person to that whole reality. And so when somebody says I'm happy in this relationship, that's like uh duh okay, Like what are you gonna get for an appetizer? Or
do you want dessert? You know, So it might be something like that. She's but she's like a lawyer, so she should be a I don't know she'd be able to pick up on that. I don't know. They haven't been going out that long either, though, true, but I wish Jonah would be more honest about like, hey, you know, it's been a like I was in a long relationship and this is something that means a lot to me, and that would have been a different conversation. But he's
so bad at communicating, he really is. He's always confused about how he feels too, anything else. No, No, let's move on. Dina and Garrett and Brian girl, Oh my god. So Dina's just like, I want to talk a little bit about the meeting before this happened, where where Lil Anderson comes in and tells everybody to take off their vests and he tells Matteo to take off his cardigan and put on a T shirt. Yeah, wear one of these like a customer would. The only thing I like
more than beer is twins. Don't you already have that shirt at home? Because even though everybody else was like dressing down, Dina's still in a three piece suit, and for that's like kind of hilarious to me that she was able to kind of get away with that. Sandra was about to take off her polo too, was pretty funny, but that was just funny to be But yeah, so she comes up in her fucking three piece suit looking like a lady from the seventies and she just nonchalantly says that she's no longer like
interested in her partner physically or emotionally. And she's laying all this out to Garrett, whose advice was to just like, you know, she's trying to break up with him, and he says, do it quick, just make it quick and clean, rip off the band aid. Wow, quick and clean. You cannot wait for me to be single? Oh no, that's not what this is about. Look at you. You're literally glowing at the idea, okay, which is like I think her want, Like she's projecting
hard. Yeah. I liked the section where everybody gives advice too on how to break up and how they've been broken up. Just don't use any of those insulting cliches. You know, it's not you, it's me. Yeah, or I think we'd be better as friends when I look at you while I see a Shrek. Which one did you like best in terms of humorous breakup? Oh, Matatos obviously, because he wants to make them break up with you instead by starting fights. Be easier. Just let him break up
with you, me, me, and start pointless arguments. It's actually super fun. And he said it was so fun, right, did you catch the one where he said you look too much like Shrek? That one was pretty funny and kind of hurtful. So Dina tries it right, She tried like several of those. I didn't think I was going to get emotional, but I'm not too emotional. Yeah, and she just couldn't nail it down in the Zoom call, which I thought was interesting that she was zooming the
breakup right. And I wonder how many breakups happened via Zoom through this pandemic. I don't know. I thought it was so funny when she just started closing the laptop slowly too. It's like virtual ghosting. It's hard to fake a bad connection or something on Zoom, is it. I don't know. I haven't tried phone call. Yeah, that's true, but that kind of drives Brian, right, that's his name, to call Garrett and kind of talk to him because I guess they're close because they were in a truple.
I don't understand why Garrett's call. I feel like Brian has always looked like very positively on the whole Garrett situation, and Garrett has always probably found it a little weird and like doesn't want to interact with Brian that much. Yeah, I feel like Brian's a really nice guy who thinks Garrett is like Dina's
best friend and lover, and he's like totally cool with that. That's he was like okay with that polyamorous situation they had going for a minute, because he loves Dina and he wants Dina to be happy and he cares about that a lot. So I thought it was really funny that he called Garrett and Garrett broke up with him for Dina. Basically, Brian, you're a solid guy, and if by some chance Dina doesn't see that anymore, you'll be fine. You're a vet that'll be great on the dating apps. You'll have
pictures of dating apps. Do you think she is trying to break up with me? He like prepped her, prepped him so that it was easy for her to do it. And then when he hung up the phone, he slowly turns his phone back to him and he's like bye eep. And then Dina takes him out on a date casually, like just like very Dina, like like very forcibly dating you. But I mean, also to add to the the Brian thing is she does use one of the cliche lines, and
like you're too perfect for me. I'm not ready for that. Yeah, and he didn't take it in the way that everybody else. But that is like the nicest thing I've ever heard someone say to me. I mean, I'm like flattered. You know, if you're not ready, you're not ready. But is there any chance that maybe you could get ready? Like over time? No, that's how great you are, which whatever, that's nice. Getting broken up with is not fun, but you know that person's not
into you. It's it's less fun to be with somebody that doesn't want to be with you and they're with you out of like I don't know, pity or yeah, I mean at least she didn't draw it out and she actually did get it done. Yeah, and didn't like have him come on his surprise visit and all that, right, because then he would if he would have gotten COVID at that store picking up one of them towels, that motherfucker blew his nose into. Oh I hate that guy. That guy was so
gross. What do you think about Lynn's hair? I love it? Fluck of seagulls anyone? No, okay, well, it's very that giving me eighties. Uh, definitely different. It was very interesting to see gar Glenn talking about his Sturges and Sons hardware store. Again, my father had a hardware store. Sturgis and Sons and Cloud nine undersold us and put us out
of business. But my dad said, you were always a gentleman about it, even talk him out to dinner on the night that the store closed for good, because we've known about it, and we've talked about how big businesses and corporations kind of kill mom and pops and how because we got more information about how that came to be in terms of like the store closing and Loel L. Anderson was actually involved in the deal where he manipulated and humiliated his
father. I didn't exactly buy your dad dinner that night. Truth is, that night I offered your dad a chance to save his store. I told him I'd stop under selling him if he could prove he could run with the big dogs by eating a can of dog food. It was very funny. What's the funny part? But he ate the dog food and I closed his store anyway, I mean, you get it. But his father never shared that with Glenn, which probably made Glenn's transition into store manager a lot easier
and something that he could be like even proud of. He like, when he first saw loll Anderson, he was like fangirl, you know, just like all about that guy. And then at the end of the episode, he's like making that guy eat dog food for all the other little guys that you shoved around. So yeah, you eat it to jerk. Yeah, I mean he was pretty willing to eat the dog food. Yeah. No, no, I gotta finish it. All the best draft settles down to
the bottom. It was like, there's something deeply wrong with that individual, and I wish there was somebody or something or some way of making him feel bad. Like there's not a lot of redemption or justice in this episode for that, you know what I mean, And so like it just feels kind of empty the sending because of that. I mean, the episode felt like a little bit of filler and a little bit just like we need to set up a few things. Yeah, we got to set up some plot devices
and give some information. Mostly it was about Jonah getting ready to take Amy back or something, and Glint, Dina and Garrett getting together and showing that Cheyenne has the capacity to be wise and kind of stand up to people. Yeah, this doesn't seem to be working at all. Yeah, that's what I said. Well, there was no way we could have known. I wish it would have been a little stronger, or that there would have been like a store effort to kind of get back at this dude, because the
whole store was like struggling because of him. Yeah, and it was just trash that nobody there was no justice. And then at the end of it, he even gives them a final blow in saying that all cloud Nines are gonna shut down and that he was just basically being an ass to all of them, and that was just kind of I don't know, it was. It was something that made me feel like this was a low moment for the
store and the people in it, like they had a shitty day. Yeah, like Elias broke that TV, you know, because everything was unboxed. That's so stupid, so stupid. I could I could understand like you wanting to have like displays of the blenders, but not like unboxing everything, and I like, yeah, they have displays, they have this, so it's it just felt really contrived and like, I don't know, it was kind of cute to see them opening all the toys though, because it felt like
they were doing Christmas. Then there's a lady that was trying on all the face masks. Oh that was one of my Oh yeah, that was a lot that was That was one of my fate like callbacks to like when they used to do those customers doing shitty things in the store that are very real. I saw her. As soon as I saw her sniffing and holding that mask, I'm like, she better not, she better not, And she
did it. She took off that mask, put it back on the display shelf, and put on another one, and I was just like, oh, people, they will do this. There's still things in here that were funny. And it's not like an episode I despise or anything. No, it's not hated. It's just like it's not one that I'm gonna be like, hey, you should check out Superstore watch Anderson. No, yeah, it's I mean the guy is like very well known to be funny, but he didn't come off as funny in this episode. Just came off as a
dick, and not even a dick, like a dumb dick too. And he didn't even look rich, like that's the worst part about it. I think like they didn't even try to make him look rich or eccentric in a lot of ways, because usually they'll like make a guy wear a fancy suit and some weird shoes or something, you know what I mean. But yeah, I don't know. And then obviously we got a little bit of amy at the end. I just thought I'd run it by you since he said
that I could call you for anything. Yeah, that that is weird. Let me see what I can find out. We rarely go outside of the store, and it was interesting to have that. It could have been a zoom call, but it was. It was a phone call, and they showed her on set in a kitchen, and that was very different. Kind of took us. It took me out of it a little bit. Yeah, we see why she's coming back to the store. Yeah, they're going to investigate or figure out what the heck Zephyr is going to do with Cloud
nine and why they haven't got the carts yet. I don't know, I mean, and store sales have been down because of COVID, and it would kind of explain my corporate hasn't sent those replacement shopping carts. I want to know what happened to that viral video. They said they couldn't get the wheel out of that kid. Yeah, like what the world? Very story, Yes, and that was like what I want more of Cheyenne to come from, you know, Like she was too serious and I hope they don't keep
her too serious in the next chapter of her television career. All right, anything else? We got a message from someone who goes by City and it says, hey, BB and Jason, amazing podcast. So good. BB and Jason have different opinions on things which are really funny. Yay, we do. I love that we're on the same page on this episode. That's yeah, we really were. Yeah, we definitely definitely will when we see
more Amy. Yeah. I have a lot of opinions about that. And that's not that I don't like America Ferrera as a person or because I don't know her, right, I live in the middle of nowhere and she's like a Hollywood big shot, But I don't know just the way that the writing comes out in the show. Sometimes it's just very self serving, and sometimes
it's even demeaning to the characters, specifically like the women of color. Like it's gotten better I'm thinking of how they used to write Sandra specifically, But yeah, I would love to see how Carol's going to resolve this. I wonder if that's like part of the thing that's like bankrupting superstores all over. It's like a lot of like lawsuits and different things like that, and i'd love to see like the end of that. Is Carol going to get a
happy ending? I don't know. I mean, I feel like Carol almost has to win something in her lawsuit, so I think she will, But I'm also wondering, like if she's ever forgive Sandra or move on from having Jerry. I don't know. Do we have any predictions to throw out?
I think that Garrett and Dina are gonna be like dating hardcore super in love nasty, And I think that when Jonah sees Amy, he's gonna dump the Redhead and then there will be like this wrath on the superstore that they will never see again, like this woman's wrath with Carol and the Redhead together, like they will like burn it all. But Jonah will end up with Amy, and then Glenn is gonna I hope they bring Jerusha and and Bawl to the final episode. But I know with COVID that can be hard. But
I really love Jerusha. We've already this season, so I like I feel like, especially they're gonna roll into the next one. Yeah, they got a kind of that. I want super sort of stay, have an ending to it that works if there's no other content with Bow and Cheyenne or anything else. Like, I want the ending to work. I don't want it to be like setting up the next thing, kind of like how Scrubs University was done. Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking of like that last Star Wars
movie. I was like setting up for a Lando series and things like that. Just just let it in. Yeah, let it be its own thing, let it stand alone. Yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah, that'll be. But I do want to see Jerusha. She's so good. She is so funny every time that she's like we've only had her like two or three times, but the actress is incredible. That character is iconic. And Glenn, I don't know, he's been there from the beginning and
I feel like and he's still there. They've really shown recently like that he has had a rough time. Yeah, especially with this like finding out about like the whole like reality of what his father went through when the Cloud nine store came to be. So maybe Glenn is gonna open up his own store and hire all these people who work there. He'll open a co op and they'll all be owners. Yes. Is there anyone that's like been gone from the show for a while that could make a comeback. I don't know.
They already brought Jeff back, which he could be more involved if the store's closing, right, Yeah, it could be an episode where Brett talks. That'd be a good thing that what do you think? Like, Yeah, I mean I hope that he says something either really really funny or or just really really mean or insightful. But yeah, that would be the way I would kind of close it off. Is Brett saying something like giving a speech or something. Yeah, I mean we have a really lost main character except
for Amy and Myrtle. Yeah so yeah, so I mean probably Jonah and Amy if not getting back together, maybe like a hint of it. I guess they'll do something with it. They started with it, they'll end with it because they're nasty like that. Maybe at the end they'll turn off all the lights and all those little glowy lights will show up again magically. Yeah, and then Dina and Garrett for sure. Yeah, we'll see y'all in the next episodes. The last couple of ones. All right, well,
