I'm Marie Vigouroux.
Jeremy Greer:I'm Jeremy Greer.
Marie Vigouroux:And this is Rude Eats, a delicious podcast
Marie Vigouroux:where we sink our teeth into every episode of the show
Marie Vigouroux:Hannibal. And this week, we're going to be talking about season
Marie Vigouroux:one, episode five, Coquille.
Marie Vigouroux:Jake Lionheart (intro music): I want Will Graham, I really do
Marie Vigouroux:and I think that we could have some fun. Then you can do
Marie Vigouroux:anything you like. I might even go and help you catch the
Marie Vigouroux:Shrike. I want Will Graham, I want that man for every meal and
Marie Vigouroux:on demand. His mind shines and his body's cut. I know that he
Marie Vigouroux:works for the FBI, but what other man has pure empathy and
Marie Vigouroux:the ability to see my mind. Jack. What other thing have I
Marie Vigouroux:ever asked you for besides never looking into my pantry? And I
Marie Vigouroux:won't get that. Damn. I want Will Graham. I want him so and
Marie Vigouroux:he really doesn't need to know what's in my meals or on my
Marie Vigouroux:mind. I just want Will Graham to be mine. I want him, and I want
Marie Vigouroux:him now. I said before, I don't care how. I'll give him tests.
Marie Vigouroux:He'll draw a clock, and then his dark desires I will unlock.
Marie Vigouroux:We'll be together, Willll and me. We'll throw some brand in
Marie Vigouroux:the parties. We'll cut the flesh. We'll cook the meat.
Marie Vigouroux:He'll eat the food just like me. Give me goddamn Will Graham.
Jeremy Greer:Coquille. I was, I'm really glad you said that,
Jeremy Greer:because for some reason in my head I was gonna say coquillé. I
Jeremy Greer:was, I think I was gonna take it a Spanish term for that.
Marie Vigouroux:I actually love that.
Jeremy Greer:I forgot we're French. Hi, Mary, how are you?
Marie Vigouroux:I'm very good. Jeremy, how are you?
Jeremy Greer:I'm great. I'm so excited. This is the first
Jeremy Greer:podcast we've recorded since releasing the podcast. We got to
Jeremy Greer:Episode Five before we made this thing public, and the feedback
Jeremy Greer:has been overwhelming and really, really great. We
Jeremy Greer:premiered the video, and that was a lot of fun. People on
Jeremy Greer:Twitter found us. People on YouTube have found us. We're
Jeremy Greer:starting to see like, names that I'm not familiar with, like,
Jeremy Greer:listening to the podcast and commenting, and I just, it's
Jeremy Greer:just so fantastic. So thank you everybody, as you're if you're
Jeremy Greer:listening to this two months down the line that from when
Jeremy Greer:recording it, that I'm just so appreciative. And thank you so
Jeremy Greer:much for taking time out of your day to listen and to hang out
Jeremy Greer:with us while we were doing social media stuff. It was just,
Jeremy Greer:it's also great. So thanks.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, honestly, thank you so much everyone.
Marie Vigouroux:Like, it's, it's been, I honestly didn't expect it to be,
Marie Vigouroux:like, so well received, I guess - People were just
Jeremy Greer:This quickly, right?
Marie Vigouroux:This quickly, yeah. Like, people were on
Marie Vigouroux:board. And even because, like, obviously people in our
Marie Vigouroux:respective, like, servers were aware that this was going on.
Marie Vigouroux:And, like, we had put out a little something on Twitter,
Marie Vigouroux:but, like, nothing big, right? Like, we didn't do any real
Marie Vigouroux:marketing or teasing or anything like that. And so for this many
Marie Vigouroux:people to be on board this quickly, like you said, has
Marie Vigouroux:just, it has been overwhelming, really. Like, I, I can't, I
Marie Vigouroux:can't really put it into words. But thank you so much everyone.
Marie Vigouroux:Because obviously, like, I think that we would still podcast
Marie Vigouroux:about this, even if, like, four people were listening to it we
Marie Vigouroux:were talking about this morning. But like to know that there are
Marie Vigouroux:people listening really is a big motivator, I think, for us to
Marie Vigouroux:continue doing this and to have fun. And thank you so much. And
Marie Vigouroux:if you want to help us further, of course, tell your friends
Marie Vigouroux:about it like, leave us a review, a rating, particularly
Marie Vigouroux:on Apple podcasts. For some reason this is, you know, what
Marie Vigouroux:seems to have the most effect on how many people listen, comments
Marie Vigouroux:on YouTube as well. Really great. So yeah, thank you so
Marie Vigouroux:much.
Jeremy Greer:Thank you so much. We're going to get into this
Jeremy Greer:episode, which is described as "Will and the team track a
Jeremy Greer:serial killer who has a gruesome ritual. Hannibal tries to drive
Jeremy Greer:a wedge between Jack and Will. Jack's wife Bella starts therapy
Jeremy Greer:with Hannibal." This aired on April 25, 2013 it was, the
Jeremy Greer:teleplay was written by Scott namurfo and Brian fueler, story
Jeremy Greer:by Scott murfo, directed by Guillermo Navarro, and let's,
Jeremy Greer:let's take a minute to talk about Coquillé.
Marie Vigouroux:Coquillé! I do love that. Now we're gonna be
Marie Vigouroux:saying it that way.
Jeremy Greer:What is the proper way? I'm sorry, let's, let's say
Jeremy Greer:the proper way again.
Marie Vigouroux:Coquille.
Jeremy Greer:Coquille. Let's talk about what Coquille is.
Marie Vigouroux:So it means shell in English, basically. So
Marie Vigouroux:in the very literal sense of food, I think this is a
Marie Vigouroux:reference to shellfish like clams and stuff like that. And
Marie Vigouroux:so if we dig a little bit deeper into the theme of this episode,
Marie Vigouroux:I think that the shell is about our bodies, particularly, like
Marie Vigouroux:the limits of our bodies, especially when it comes to
Marie Vigouroux:illness. There's a lot of ways that we can conceptualize like
Marie Vigouroux:our relationship with our body, and one of the guiding questions
Marie Vigouroux:is like, are our bodies and our souls or our spirits or our
Marie Vigouroux:minds? Like, are those things separate entities, yes or no.
Marie Vigouroux:And then further questions also include those of like, health
Marie Vigouroux:and illness and what to do on your body, like, the very thing
Marie Vigouroux:that keeps you alive in this world, your shell, if you will,
Marie Vigouroux:isn't working as it should anymore. And I think that this
Marie Vigouroux:episode is a little bit of a reflection on that.
Jeremy Greer:In several different ways, right? So, like
Jeremy Greer:you mentioned illness, and we have two characters in this
Jeremy Greer:episode that are, one has a brain tumor and one has cancer
Jeremy Greer:that are literally like their body is failing them. And like
Jeremy Greer:you know, they're they're becoming different people
Jeremy Greer:because of that, one in an extraordinary fashion, and one
Jeremy Greer:in a much more direct and more realistic fashion. And then when
Jeremy Greer:you talk about, like, our bodies, our minds, are those
Jeremy Greer:separate entities. We have to look at Will Graham, because in
Jeremy Greer:this episode, like, is when we see him for the first time, like
Jeremy Greer:reaching his limits, right? Like that, he's, he's finally, like,
Jeremy Greer:kind of pushing back on Jack and realizing, like, I can look at
Jeremy Greer:this stuff, but the, you know, the mind part is getting harder
Jeremy Greer:and harder to work like that, thinking about it is, what's
Jeremy Greer:what's bad and yeah. And then we also have, like, some, some real
Jeremy Greer:direct stuff, like the foie gras in this episode, which is food
Jeremy Greer:within a food, very reminiscent of a shell, like, where you open
Jeremy Greer:it up and there's food inside. And so it just, it works on a
Jeremy Greer:lot of different levels. Again, I always thought that they did
Jeremy Greer:this as just kind of a goof. Like, I thought, like, oh, it's,
Jeremy Greer:it's Hannibal, so we're gonna have, like, a food themed
Jeremy Greer:episode title. And then the more that you think about it, the
Jeremy Greer:more that you talk about it, the more I realized, like, oh, they
Jeremy Greer:were really thinking about this. Like, they applied a lot of
Jeremy Greer:thought into these scripts and the things that they were going
Jeremy Greer:to show with each each individual episode title. So
Jeremy Greer:it's fun getting into it.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh, yeah, yeah. Like we said, like, I think
Marie Vigouroux:either last episode or a couple episodes ago, like, it really
Marie Vigouroux:feels crafted, which is great. Love that.
Jeremy Greer:Do we want to talk about anything else before we
Jeremy Greer:get into our play Ball play on the episode?
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, I'm good.
Jeremy Greer:Well, let's get into our play by play. We are
Jeremy Greer:going to start out with Will Graham walking on the road,
Jeremy Greer:shoeless, in his pajamas, and we see the stag following him. It's
Jeremy Greer:obviously very cold out. We see Will's breath on the air, and
Jeremy Greer:the stag nudges him, which is the first time that the stag has
Jeremy Greer:actually touched him, which is, I think, very significant.
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, yeah, the way that I saw this was that
Marie Vigouroux:there's less and less of a separation between, like, his
Marie Vigouroux:imaginary world and the quote, unquote, real world. So, you
Marie Vigouroux:know, they were talking with Hannibal a couple episodes ago
Marie Vigouroux:about like the walls of the house of Garrett Jacob Hobbs.
Marie Vigouroux:And it sort of feels here like the walls of reality are kind of
Marie Vigouroux:collapsing around Will.
Jeremy Greer:And it's, and it's also like, it's definitely that,
Jeremy Greer:and it's because the stag in is what it's in, the stag is in
Jeremy Greer:Will's mind, but one of his dogs has followed him, right? So
Jeremy Greer:that's the dog judging him, because the dog is concerned
Jeremy Greer:about his owner, which is the Winston, the dog that he stole
Jeremy Greer:from an owner, because the dog had a collar when he got him,
Jeremy Greer:which is very funny to me. We see cop lights in the distance,
Jeremy Greer:and we get the kind of this normal cop routine of like,
Jeremy Greer:where you know where you are? Do you know where you live, that
Jeremy Greer:kind of thing. We finally see Winston and the dog they
Jeremy Greer:question Will as he's in the back of the police car. He had a
Jeremy Greer:little bit of whiskey, but not a lot, but he's still very
Jeremy Greer:confused. He even says, I'm I'm not even sure if I'm awake right
Jeremy Greer:now. And then we skip over to Baltimore, where Hannibal pours
Jeremy Greer:coffee from his fancy Belgian coffee pot. A funny story here,
Jeremy Greer:I have this coffee pot.
Jeremy Greer:I do, I do. Autumn got it for me for Christmas, not
Marie Vigouroux:You do not oh my god!
Marie Vigouroux:this last year, but the year before, because I was getting
Marie Vigouroux:real big into coffee. And she's like, this is like, and it takes
Marie Vigouroux:forever to make coffee with this thing. And it goes back to what
Marie Vigouroux:we were talking about, I think the last episode about Hannibal
Marie Vigouroux:being prepared for everything, like, it has to be five or seven
Marie Vigouroux:minutes before, like, Will walked in was like, Yes, I would
Marie Vigouroux:like a cup of coffee. And Hannibal going, like, let me get
Marie Vigouroux:all of my guests. Get all of my gadgets. Like, there's, what you
Marie Vigouroux:don't see is, there's like a there's like a butane thing that
Marie Vigouroux:you have to light. It boils, and then it like, like, as it boils,
Marie Vigouroux:it like, moisture moves into the other thing. So it like, levers
Marie Vigouroux:up. Like, it's a whole situation that beauty is going through
Marie Vigouroux:here. I. I tried to find a video of it because I thought I had a
Marie Vigouroux:video of it on my phone somewhere. I could not find it
Marie Vigouroux:for the life of me. I was going to send it to you, but then I
Marie Vigouroux:just decided to surprise you and tell you that I had one.
Marie Vigouroux:Well, good job. I was surprised.
Jeremy Greer:And they begin to discuss the reason that Will
Jeremy Greer:could be sleepwalking, and Hannibal says that it's probably
Jeremy Greer:from PTSD from his job. And Will pushes back on this. And, like,
Jeremy Greer:if my body is walking around without my permission, would you
Jeremy Greer:say that this is a loss of control, and Hannibal just looks
Jeremy Greer:at me says, wouldn't you, like, absolutely, that's a loss of
Jeremy Greer:control. And it's just, you know, it's just Will going to
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal to, like, help me, essentially, right?
Marie Vigouroux:Like, Will is actually, like, really reaching
Marie Vigouroux:out in this episode. And we'll talk about more about that
Marie Vigouroux:later. But like, do you, have you ever been, like, in contact
Marie Vigouroux:with somebody who was sleepwalking, or have you
Marie Vigouroux:sleepwalked? Like, if you feel comfortable talking about it.
Jeremy Greer:I've seen it happen before. The only time
Jeremy Greer:that I have slept walk, embarrassingly enough, is like
Jeremy Greer:when I get, there was one time where I got especially drunk as
Jeremy Greer:a younger man, and I woke up, like walking around, and was
Jeremy Greer:like, I don't know where the fuck I am. Like, eventually, it
Jeremy Greer:eventually came to me and everything, but it was, it was
Jeremy Greer:literally just like I was, I had abused my body so poorly that it
Jeremy Greer:woke up in the middle of the night and was like, I gotta walk
Jeremy Greer:some of this off.
Marie Vigouroux:Yes, clearly.
Jeremy Greer:What about you?
Marie Vigouroux:Oh, my goodness. Well, so my sister
Marie Vigouroux:used to sleepwalk when she was a teenager, and it was actually
Marie Vigouroux:really kind of scary, because she would have so it started as,
Marie Vigouroux:like, she would have dreams that she was in the Arctic, and then
Marie Vigouroux:we would find, like, the freezer, like, everything in the
Marie Vigouroux:freezer completely melted in the morning, So, like, she would
Marie Vigouroux:literally, like, open the freezer and just like, stick her
Marie Vigouroux:head in the freezer, and so, like, it was so we kind of had a
Marie Vigouroux:few laughs about it, like it wasn't a big deal. But then she
Marie Vigouroux:started having dreams that she was driving my dad's car, and we
Marie Vigouroux:would find my dad's keys, like, in a different place there than
Marie Vigouroux:where he had left them. And that's when we kind of realized
Marie Vigouroux:that there was a very real danger that she could be trying
Marie Vigouroux:to, like, go out at night while everybody was asleep and drive
Marie Vigouroux:the car while not even being aware that she was trying to
Marie Vigouroux:drive the car.
Jeremy Greer:Wow, yeah.
Marie Vigouroux:And so what this is making - every time I
Marie Vigouroux:think about sleepwalking. It just makes me think about how
Marie Vigouroux:when you are sleepwalking, or the person who is sleepwalking,
Marie Vigouroux:completely depends on those around them to protect them from
Marie Vigouroux:themselves, because they are not in control of their body. So
Marie Vigouroux:like, exactly what Will is talking about here, and Will
Marie Vigouroux:doesn't have a lot of really great people in his life to
Marie Vigouroux:like, well, to use a phrase that we're going to hear later, watch
Marie Vigouroux:over him.
Jeremy Greer:Exactly, like the fact that we only see a dog with
Jeremy Greer:him, right? Like, that's the level. In fact, we're going to
Jeremy Greer:see that multiple times throughout this episode of his
Jeremy Greer:dogs like wanting to protect him, which is very, very nice.
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal wonders, if Will is having any kind of feelings of
Jeremy Greer:aggression. And once again, he brings up Jack Crawford, and
Jeremy Greer:Will says, you know, you told me that Jack sees me as fine china,
Jeremy Greer:but I'm beginning to feel like an old mug. And Hannibal points
Jeremy Greer:out that Jack is willing to do anything to Will, as long as he
Jeremy Greer:gets what he wants. And again, this is a further attempt for
Jeremy Greer:will, excuse me, for Hannibal to put himself between Jack and
Jeremy Greer:Will and to isolate Jack. Jesus Christ. I'm doing it again. Four
Jeremy Greer:episodes I was good to isolate Will from Jack in an effort to
Jeremy Greer:maintain control over him as we talked about in the past. And
Jeremy Greer:it's, I think again, like every time we see this stuff, you're
Jeremy Greer:just kind of a little bit more heartbroken about it.
Marie Vigouroux:Well, there you go. Plus, like, I mean, Hannibal
Marie Vigouroux:is doing the same thing, like, and Jack is doing the same thing
Marie Vigouroux:too. Like, it's just both of them are trying to manipulate
Marie Vigouroux:Will, for their own ends, right? And so to kind of see that
Marie Vigouroux:always makes me pretty angry. You did mention last week, I
Marie Vigouroux:think that mugs and teacups are a thing, like trademark, so in
Marie Vigouroux:this show. So obviously I have to mention that here that he
Marie Vigouroux:talks about being like fine china versus an old mug. But I
Marie Vigouroux:think it also comes back to our discussion about shells, right?
Marie Vigouroux:Like, because shells break and they also break differently
Marie Vigouroux:depending on how solid they are. So here, like fine china versus
Marie Vigouroux:an old mug. So like, the kind of attention that you would give to
Marie Vigouroux:those two different things.
Jeremy Greer:Absolutely. Yeah, we cut over to a hotel, and we
Jeremy Greer:see a man that we have not seen before, and he is getting ice,
Jeremy Greer:something I don't think I've ever done at a hotel. I've never
Jeremy Greer:but whatever, like, let's just skip that. He sees a family, and
Jeremy Greer:they're just kind of walking to their room. And then he sees a
Jeremy Greer:couple, and this time, the couple's heads are on fire. And
Jeremy Greer:as he looks down in the ice, he sees fire in the ice as well.
Jeremy Greer:And I don't - this dude's hair just seemed like it was a wig,
Jeremy Greer:like I can't believe I wrote this in the notes. I don't
Jeremy Greer:remember writing this in the notes at all where it's the same
Jeremy Greer:wig store Sam Winchester's from the from the season 15 thing.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah! Party City.
Jeremy Greer:I don't know if, I don't know if that's true or
Jeremy Greer:not, but like, his hair bothered me this entire episode, and this
Jeremy Greer:is the first and last time I'll mention it.
Marie Vigouroux:Honestly. So it's weird because I remember
Marie Vigouroux:thinking, like, when I first watched it, I was like, Oh,
Marie Vigouroux:that's a weird haircut. And then just kind of like, moving on
Marie Vigouroux:from that. But yeah, I agree. This also made me think of, like
Marie Vigouroux:The X Files episode with Mark Shepard. Yeah, like the way that
Marie Vigouroux:it's made feels like a bit of a wink there.
Jeremy Greer:We get our intro, and then we go back to the same
Jeremy Greer:hotel, Jack and Will are arriving. They found the room
Jeremy Greer:was registered to very classic, John Smith, and the victims are
Jeremy Greer:Mr. And Mrs. Anderson, and they were mutilated so bad that Jack
Jeremy Greer:has to warn Will to protect himself. He says it's soup in
Jeremy Greer:there. And Will has a joke of like, chicken soup is not great
Jeremy Greer:for the soul or something. But mostly, like, Will just looks
Jeremy Greer:disturbed, and it's because he hasn't slept again, like he's
Jeremy Greer:still not not sleeping very well. And as they enter the
Jeremy Greer:room, we see what bothered jack so much. There's two bodies
Jeremy Greer:nude, kneeling in prayer. They've been wired up so that
Jeremy Greer:they stay that way, even though they're dead. And the the backs,
Jeremy Greer:their back skin, has been carved off in such a way and pulled off
Jeremy Greer:of the body to create angel wings. And it's an incredible,
Jeremy Greer:incredible visual. And I've always, I was, I've apologized a
Jeremy Greer:couple of times on this podcast to you, because I kind of sold
Jeremy Greer:the show with like, oh yeah, the gore is good, and like, it's but
Jeremy Greer:it's not like slasher gore. And then I started thinking about
Jeremy Greer:all of the stuff that happens in this and I was legitimately
Jeremy Greer:worried about this one maybe being too much for you.
Marie Vigouroux:If I'm being honest, like this is this, to
Marie Vigouroux:me, is like Criminal Minds level, like grossness. And so I
Marie Vigouroux:don't love it, but I also find, I don't know, I think it's made
Marie Vigouroux:with more respect than criminal minds and so, like, you know, it
Marie Vigouroux:is gross, it is soup, but it's not as bad as, like, I think
Marie Vigouroux:they could have made it.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, it could be. It could be a lot worse.
Marie Vigouroux:It could be a lot more bloody. Let's be real.
Jeremy Greer:And let's wait for season two before we make a
Jeremy Greer:bunch of assumptions.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh, no, oh no!
Jeremy Greer:Our ERT crew is here, Beverly and the boys, as
Jeremy Greer:I'm going to start calling them, I've decided they're talking
Jeremy Greer:about -
Marie Vigouroux:Beverly and the twins. How about that? Cause
Marie Vigouroux:they are like the twins!
Jeremy Greer:Beverly and the twins. They're talking about
Jeremy Greer:like Vikings killing Christians and removing their lungs and
Jeremy Greer:crucify them, which sounds horrible. And we find out that
Jeremy Greer:the killer slept in this bed. The two bodies are arranged at
Jeremy Greer:the foot of a bed, like looking at the head. And he left like
Jeremy Greer:sweat stains on the bed. He threw up on the clock radio
Jeremy Greer:that's beside the bed. Very, very weird. And Will has a great
Jeremy Greer:line where he's just like madness slept here last night,
Jeremy Greer:and I wanted, I wanted Jack to go Will chill the fuck out, man,
Jeremy Greer:you're a special agent. Can't be just saying stuff like that.
Marie Vigouroux:You can't be creepy like this, Will stop it.
Marie Vigouroux:But so Okay, so I find that this episode worked over time to try
Marie Vigouroux:to make parallels between will and this killer, right? Like,
Marie Vigouroux:the sweating, the loss of control, like, just to name a
Marie Vigouroux:couple of things. And like, obviously, maybe this is just
Marie Vigouroux:Will projecting, but we as the audience also see these
Marie Vigouroux:parallels. And to be entirely honest with you, for a second, I
Marie Vigouroux:was like, did Will do this in his sleep? Like? I was unsure of
Marie Vigouroux:if this guy, this like guy that we saw was like a hallucination,
Marie Vigouroux:also, right? Like, and I really had to actively remind myself
Marie Vigouroux:that Will was in a different state when this happened, and
Marie Vigouroux:that he couldn't have done this.
Jeremy Greer:They're gonna play with this too at the end of the
Jeremy Greer:episode, as we see him literally hallucinating stuff, and that
Jeremy Greer:while he's awake, which, you know, again, very, very
Jeremy Greer:terrifying for my boy will, for anybody that likes my boy, will,
Jeremy Greer:will thinks that this killer is elevating these victims somehow.
Jeremy Greer:And he tells Jack, I need a, you know, a piece of plastic. And
Jeremy Greer:again, Autumn had a comment here. She's like, you know, I
Jeremy Greer:guess I've never picked up on the fact that he was like, give
Jeremy Greer:me a piece of plastic so I can lay down this bed. And everybody
Jeremy Greer:leave the room like, it's a weird thing to ask, but of
Jeremy Greer:course, in the fiction of the show, we know like he's about to
Jeremy Greer:do his like serial killer empathy thing, right? Like he's
Jeremy Greer:gonna activate his his autistic superpower, as some people have
Jeremy Greer:started calling it in the discord.
Marie Vigouroux:We got, actually, a message from a
Marie Vigouroux:listener, say, explaining a little bit more about that.
Jeremy Greer:Oh, good, excellent.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, so they're basically saying that in
Marie Vigouroux:the in the script, it's described as, and I'm gonna read
Marie Vigouroux:"a pendulum that swings in the darkness of will Graham's mind,
Marie Vigouroux:keeping rhythm with his heartbeat." Oh,
Jeremy Greer:Oh, I like that.
Marie Vigouroux:Right?
Jeremy Greer:I like that a lot.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, me too.
Jeremy Greer:I played, it's really difficult to make the
Jeremy Greer:background of a video transparent, and I really wanted
Jeremy Greer:to use the pendulum as a transition in the music video,
Jeremy Greer:because I thought it would just be like, right on point. And I,
Jeremy Greer:I tried. I must have spent like, three or four hours to try to
Jeremy Greer:get it to look anywhere close to good, and just never could make
Jeremy Greer:it happen. Like they never could. Like, got to the point
Jeremy Greer:where I was like, do I want to spend money for somebody else to
Jeremy Greer:do this? And I was like, no, no, I've got other stuff I can do
Jeremy Greer:with this. Like, we can just, we can just transition between
Jeremy Greer:clips normally, like, I don't need to do this.
Marie Vigouroux:Honestly, you did such a good job. Like it's,
Marie Vigouroux:it's, I remember the first time that you showed it to me, I was
Marie Vigouroux:like, This is unbelievable. And folks, if you haven't seen this,
Marie Vigouroux:this video, you absolutely have to go to YouTube to go see it,
Marie Vigouroux:like it's mind blowing.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, just type in Rude Eats, and all of our
Jeremy Greer:episodes will be on YouTube, which is the first for me.So you
Jeremy Greer:can if people are weird enough to want to watch podcasts on
Jeremy Greer:YouTube, then go -
Marie Vigouroux:Apparently there are quite a few!
Jeremy Greer:So Will lays down in the bed, and he, he starts,
Jeremy Greer:you know, doing his narration thing. This is not who you are.
Jeremy Greer:This is my gift to you. He speaks to the victims. And as we
Jeremy Greer:see the rewind effect, then we see it go forward again as we
Jeremy Greer:see these these wings raise up behind them as they fill with
Jeremy Greer:this golden light. Allow you to become angels and now allow me
Jeremy Greer:to sleep. He says, like basically saying that these
Jeremy Greer:victims are going to watch over the killer as he sleeps, because
Jeremy Greer:obviously he's not sleeping well.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, this was really the first time that I was
Marie Vigouroux:kind of disturbed by Will impersonating the killer, like,
Marie Vigouroux:speaking in the first person. Like, obviously, before, I was
Marie Vigouroux:like, Oh, this is weird, but whatever, like, it didn't really
Marie Vigouroux:bother me. But this time, I was like, This can't be healthy or
Marie Vigouroux:good for him, right? Like, and it's clearly not like he's out
Marie Vigouroux:walking his imaginary moose at night, like, right? Like.
Jeremy Greer:So sorry that really got me. Walking his
Jeremy Greer:imaginary moose is very funny.
Marie Vigouroux:Just like, it's, it's like, Ah, this poor
Marie Vigouroux:man. Anyway,
Jeremy Greer:We're going to cut over to Hannibal, who is serving
Jeremy Greer:dinner to Jack and his wife. His wife's name is Phyllis. Jack
Jeremy Greer:calls her Bella, because when they were in Italy and when they
Jeremy Greer:met, everybody shouted to her, Bella, Bella, which obviously
Jeremy Greer:means she's so beautiful. And Bella, who I think we're just
Jeremy Greer:going to refer to her as Bella, because that's what the show
Jeremy Greer:does. Says he only calls her Phyllis when he's mad, which is
Jeremy Greer:very fun. And I mentioned in the last episode that this is his
Jeremy Greer:This is Lawrence Fishburne's real world in real life wife and
Jeremy Greer:I, I love this actress to bits. I think she's she's amazing.
Marie Vigouroux:She's incredibly pretty. So, yeah, no
Marie Vigouroux:matter how the show decides to call her, I will be calling her
Marie Vigouroux:Bella period. That's where we are.
Jeremy Greer:He's - Hannibal is serving foie gras, and he
Jeremy Greer:insists that it's from an ethical butcher. But there's
Jeremy Greer:really, if we talk about, and I think we probably need to put a
Jeremy Greer:content warning even above and beyond what we normally do for
Jeremy Greer:the show about how foie gras is made. Yeah, because it's, I
Jeremy Greer:don't know that there's an ethical way that you could do
Jeremy Greer:that to an animal.
Marie Vigouroux:I don't know if there is an ethical way to make
Marie Vigouroux:foie gras, frankly, because the whole the way that you do make
Marie Vigouroux:foie gras is that you have to basically make sure that your
Marie Vigouroux:goose, or your duck is like its liver is fatty, and the way to
Marie Vigouroux:do that is to overfeed it. The thing is, you can't really
Marie Vigouroux:overfeed birds without, like, literally stuffing them. And so,
Marie Vigouroux:yeah, I'm not going to go into more details, but that's, that's
Marie Vigouroux:how you make foie gras.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, it's and Bella points this out. She wants
Jeremy Greer:to skip this course, not because it's not because, she says,
Jeremy Greer:because it's too cruel. And this is when Hannibal insists that he
Jeremy Greer:has an ethical butcher, and you know, he says that there's no
Jeremy Greer:need for unnecessary suffering, and then talks about how we as
Jeremy Greer:as humans, like we, we learned compassion from animals, but we
Jeremy Greer:learned cruelty, we gave cruelty as something that we gave, we
Jeremy Greer:gave we gave to ourselves. And it's just the way that Hannibal
Jeremy Greer:speaks, like you kind of feel like he's talking on like five
Jeremy Greer:different levels at one time, and also the fact that we just
Jeremy Greer:again. Every single meal that Hannibal serves you should. You
Jeremy Greer:should. There's probably human meat in it somewhere. So, like,
Jeremy Greer:if you couple that with the awfulness that is the foie gras,
Jeremy Greer:and to begin with, like, I'm so glad Bella's skipping courses.
Marie Vigouroux:Honestly, same, like, that was literally, I was
Marie Vigouroux:like, the butchering is literally the least of your
Marie Vigouroux:problems, buddy. Like, how did you make this foie gras that is
Marie Vigouroux:probably human liver? Like, how I don't, I don't even want to go
Marie Vigouroux:any further in this conversation, because I. I am
Marie Vigouroux:completely grossed out at this point.
Jeremy Greer:So Hannibal begins to serve wine, and as he does,
Jeremy Greer:as he leans over Bella, he smells her perfume and
Jeremy Greer:identifies it, and then he - as they congratulate him on his
Jeremy Greer:sense of smell, he says, You know, I developed it since I was
Jeremy Greer:a young child. I even knew my my teacher had stomach cancer
Jeremy Greer:before he did. And he gives like, a significant look at
Jeremy Greer:Bella, and you've got a note in here about, like, Where's this
Jeremy Greer:coming from?
Marie Vigouroux:Because I'm like, when? Like, because my
Marie Vigouroux:question here, that that I entered in the notes is, like,
Marie Vigouroux:when were the books written? Because again, like, I'm very
Marie Vigouroux:weary of, like, Googling anything which otherwise I would
Marie Vigouroux:have Googled, right? I don't. I just don't want to be spoiled
Marie Vigouroux:for the show, because, like, there's like, this trope about,
Marie Vigouroux:like, very creepy men and their sense of smell. And I was kind
Marie Vigouroux:of wondering if this originated from the books or not, or if
Marie Vigouroux:this was just a long standing thing. Of creepy men smelling
Jeremy Greer:The first book, and the book that the TV show is
Jeremy Greer:people.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah. Okay. Well, it is just like predators right out in the
Jeremy Greer:based on, it came out in 1981. And they, I think there was, I
Jeremy Greer:think the last book was somewhere in the early aughts,
Jeremy Greer:if I remember correctly. So they've been, they've been going
Jeremy Greer:on for a while. The smelling thing is definitely from the
Jeremy Greer:books in the we're gonna get to. There's some stuff that I really
Jeremy Greer:want to talk to you about that's not we're just not quite there
Jeremy Greer:yet, but I'm just trying to limit it to the smell stuff. So
Jeremy Greer:yeah, he's got just an extremely heightened sense of smell. And
Jeremy Greer:it's, it's something that, like you'll see in the movies, he,
Jeremy Greer:you see this later in the episode, where he literally
Jeremy Greer:smells Will, and it's, it's part of the way that he consumes the
Jeremy Greer:world, right? Like it's part of the way that he, he, he's
Jeremy Greer:developed this sense, and it's extraordinary, like, it's his
Jeremy Greer:ability to like separate smells and to identify things from far
Jeremy Greer:away, like, helps him in being a serial killer in a variety of
Jeremy Greer:different ways, and also just helps him fuck with people also,
Jeremy Greer:like, that doesn't that doesn't help. It doesn't hurt at all,
Jeremy Greer:but it's definitely from the books.
Jeremy Greer:wild, where, like, they will smell their prey from far away,
Jeremy Greer:like, that's that's what it's making me think about.
Jeremy Greer:So the next course is pork, and this time, He reassures Bella
Jeremy Greer:that it was an especially supercilious pig. I love the
Jeremy Greer:fact I hate that reading your notes. I'm so sorry.
Marie Vigouroux:Go ahead!
Jeremy Greer:But you said you had to look it up, and me and
Jeremy Greer:Autumn looked it up at the same time, because I was making
Jeremy Greer:notes, and I was making notes, and I was like, What was that
Jeremy Greer:word that he used? Supercilious? And we knew it from context,
Jeremy Greer:right? Like, we kind of figured it out that, like, what it
Jeremy Greer:meant. And then I realized, like, supercilious can be used
Jeremy Greer:it in the form, also for rude. So he's literally saying that it
Jeremy Greer:was an especially rude pig. And I didn't even think about this,
Jeremy Greer:this this note that you have this question that you have.
Marie Vigouroux:Like, is he referring to a police officer?
Marie Vigouroux:Like, is this what's going on? Like, are they eating? Is he
Marie Vigouroux:feeding a police officer to a police officer? Because, like,
Marie Vigouroux:that's, whew!
Jeremy Greer:Oh my God, and especially, supercilious pig
Jeremy Greer:referring to a cop is, like, just, it's so, it's so, like,
Jeremy Greer:crass and fancy at the same time that, like, only Hannibal could
Jeremy Greer:make that happen, right? It's so good.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh yeah.
Jeremy Greer:It's so good. And then we're gonna go from this
Jeremy Greer:meal to Quantico, where it's time to look at the bodies.
Jeremy Greer:Beverly recites a quote about the angels going to the Lord,
Jeremy Greer:and one of the one of the twins, says that it's Robert Frost, and
Jeremy Greer:Will correctly says, No, that's actually Jim Morrison from the
Jeremy Greer:Doors, and the guy that looks like very, very confused like
Jeremy Greer:but the Doors, wait a minute, we find out that the victims were
Jeremy Greer:alive when they were skinned. And Will says that they they
Jeremy Greer:weren't praying to Him. They were praying for him. He's
Jeremy Greer:afraid for some reason. And that's when they start analyzing
Jeremy Greer:the contents of the of the vomit they found, and figure out,
Jeremy Greer:based on the medications, that he has a brain, brain tumor and
Jeremy Greer:Will says he's afraid of dying in his sleep. He's making the
Jeremy Greer:angels to watch over him. And when you started this episode, I
Jeremy Greer:sent you a DM that was like, take like, try not to talk, try
Jeremy Greer:not to think about supernatural in this episode challenge. And
Jeremy Greer:like, at this point you're like, hmmm.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, listeners, you know, if you, if
Marie Vigouroux:you, if you drink alcohol, then take a shot every time that we
Marie Vigouroux:are going to mention Supernatural. And if you don't
Marie Vigouroux:drink alcohol, then take a sip from your water bottle because
Marie Vigouroux:you know you're dehydrated. It's like, make sure to drink your
Marie Vigouroux:water every time that we mention Supernatural. And I am going to
Marie Vigouroux:mention Supernatural here because I'm so sorry, but like
Marie Vigouroux:angels watching over him, like this was 2013 so obviously the
Marie Vigouroux:idea of like, watching over angels watching over somebody,
Marie Vigouroux:like, is something from the Bible, but like, it's so present
Marie Vigouroux:in Supernatural that you can't, like, not think about it,
Marie Vigouroux:especially given that we've both done a Supernatural podcast in
Marie Vigouroux:The past, although obviously this is like a real extreme
Marie Vigouroux:perversion of what we think about like in Supernatural with
Marie Vigouroux:that phrase.
Jeremy Greer:Of course, yeah, this is, this is something much
Jeremy Greer:more violent and awful than than the kind of where we where we
Jeremy Greer:kind of heard this original phrase from. We jump over to
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal's office, and he opens the door, and Bella is there.
Jeremy Greer:She's. Scheduled an appointment. Throughout the conversation, we
Jeremy Greer:know that she is hiding something from Jack, and she
Jeremy Greer:says it's to spare him the worry. I love Hannibal response
Jeremy Greer:to this that he has room for one more worry. This is just a very
Jeremy Greer:good line.
Marie Vigouroux:And I think this really goes to show how
Marie Vigouroux:good Hannibal is as a therapist, which I really, really hate, but
Marie Vigouroux:I think it also really speaks to how competent he can be when
Marie Vigouroux:he's not, like, putting his own whims above his duty to his
Marie Vigouroux:patients.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, absolutely. Bella brings up that there could
Jeremy Greer:be a conflict of interest, because, you know, he has a
Jeremy Greer:professional relationship with Jack, and obviously, Jack is her
Jeremy Greer:husband, and Hannibal is just like, nah. That's aight.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh, my God. The thing about a conflict of
Marie Vigouroux:interest is that it's not even as much about the actual
Marie Vigouroux:conflict of interest as it is about the appearance of one. And
Marie Vigouroux:so like, 100% there's a conflict of interest here. Like, oh
Jeremy Greer:Like, oh yeah. But Hannibal, like, you know, his,
Jeremy Greer:his, he's gonna do everything he can to get more information
Jeremy Greer:about chat, right? Like, that's, that's his, one of his, one of
Jeremy Greer:his main motivations for this. She talks about that she started
Jeremy Greer:to hide whatever this is, and I'm being coy, because we're
Jeremy Greer:gonna, she's gonna, we're gonna find out what it is in a little
Jeremy Greer:while, and we're gonna talk about it more detail then. But
Jeremy Greer:she's she was starting to hide this because she wanted to
Jeremy Greer:maintain her dignity, even though now she knows she has
Jeremy Greer:plenty of indignity to look forward to. And, you know, I
Jeremy Greer:think anybody with any kind of illness can identify with this
Jeremy Greer:of having this desire to hide things for people, but also like
Jeremy Greer:knowing that you're not going to be able to like they're going to
Jeremy Greer:see all of you, and in some ways that you wouldn't normally want
Jeremy Greer:people to see you.
Marie Vigouroux:You know. So this topic is an interesting
Marie Vigouroux:one, because I come at it from an academic angle, because that
Marie Vigouroux:is literally like what I study, particularly like the
Marie Vigouroux:methodology behind, like, learning about people living
Marie Vigouroux:with illness, but also how they make meaning of that. And so
Marie Vigouroux:this, this episode really tickles my brain, because she's
Marie Vigouroux:talking about, like the indignity of illness, like of
Marie Vigouroux:seeing and having your body breaking down, and also of
Marie Vigouroux:having to depend on others for survival. And in our society,
Marie Vigouroux:the way that it's it's set up as very individualistic like this
Marie Vigouroux:is a very terrible indignity right to no longer be self
Marie Vigouroux:sufficient. So it speaks to a lot of things.
Jeremy Greer:Interesting I don't know a lot about what you
Jeremy Greer:do. And every time you mention something, I'm like, What the
Jeremy Greer:fuck does she do? What is this one day I'm gonna, I'm gonna get
Jeremy Greer:you on the outtakes and be like, so what is your job? Where do
Jeremy Greer:you work? What is your employee ID? I need to know more about
Jeremy Greer:that.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh, my God, we could do that.
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal says, in response to this, this that the
Jeremy Greer:only indignity I see is resentment. Why do you resent
Jeremy Greer:your husband? And she resents Jack for having too much to
Jeremy Greer:worry about, obviously, like Jack is in the world, you know,
Jeremy Greer:doing his cop thing, like saving lives, and she doesn't want to
Jeremy Greer:put this on him. And I just want to take a quick break from this
Jeremy Greer:conversation to note that, like, they're sitting the shot on this
Jeremy Greer:is just gorgeous. Like Hannibal's office is an amazing
Jeremy Greer:set piece, set by itself, and there's a reason they keep
Jeremy Greer:coming back to it, but them sitting like across from each
Jeremy Greer:other in chairs, and it's just a perfectly divided scene, with
Jeremy Greer:him on one side and her on the other is so so so good. I tried
Jeremy Greer:to use this in the video, like, in four different places, and
Jeremy Greer:was like, this doesn't work, dang it.
Marie Vigouroux:One thing also that I have to say I was really
Marie Vigouroux:impressed with is how, again, like, how beautiful she looks on
Marie Vigouroux:screen. And the reason why I'm saying that is because if you,
Marie Vigouroux:if you watch a lot of TV, you'll notice that, especially in
Marie Vigouroux:darker lit scenes, a lot, a lot of the time, yeah, a lot of the
Marie Vigouroux:time, Black people will not appear - like you can tell if
Marie Vigouroux:the cinematographer has been used to or can light dark skin
Marie Vigouroux:as well as they can light light skin and here like there is no
Marie Vigouroux:difference in the way that these two people of clearly different
Marie Vigouroux:skin colors are are lit, and it's just so beautiful, so well
Marie Vigouroux:done. And you and I just love to think about the work that goes
Marie Vigouroux:behind this also.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah. It reminds me of like there was a push for
Jeremy Greer:in the video game journalism world of an open world game
Jeremy Greer:where you, like, create your own character, or whatever, people
Jeremy Greer:like, got to the point where they were like, where's where,
Jeremy Greer:or Where's black hair at where, you know, like, why don't? Why
Jeremy Greer:aren't you including this? Like, I'm creating this character, and
Jeremy Greer:you're letting me, like, pick any any skin tone, including,
Jeremy Greer:like, orange and green, but like, you don't have dreads or
Jeremy Greer:rows or locks, I should say, you know, you don't have any of that
Jeremy Greer:stuff. And that's been a thing that's happened over the last,
Jeremy Greer:like probably five or 10 years, that we've seen more and more
Jeremy Greer:that stuff Incorporated, which is good, which is kind of cool.
Jeremy Greer:She She also brings up the idea of Hannibal seeing the two of
Jeremy Greer:them together, which Hannibal just just kind of flatly says,
Jeremy Greer:No, he would recommend him to someone, recommend them to
Jeremy Greer:someone else who specializes in couples therapy. And I think
Jeremy Greer:this is actually because, like, he wants to know everything he
Jeremy Greer:can about Jack without Jack knowing about it. His his goal
Jeremy Greer:is to collect as much information to apply this
Jeremy Greer:control over Jack's life as much as he can without Jack knowing
Jeremy Greer:about it.
Marie Vigouroux:And I think it's also because, like, the end
Marie Vigouroux:goal is Will, right? Like, the reason why he wants to get
Marie Vigouroux:close, but not too close, to Jack, is so that he can use the
Marie Vigouroux:information that he gets from Jack on Will, um, like, Jack is
Marie Vigouroux:not his end goal here.
Jeremy Greer:No, no. Jack is, in fact, in the way of his end
Jeremy Greer:goal, right? Like, this is just a way to move Jack, like he's
Jeremy Greer:learning everything he can to basically drive a wedge between
Jeremy Greer:Will and Jack so that he can control Will more, which is his
Jeremy Greer:goal. He wants that man. God, damn, Will Graham!
Marie Vigouroux:Will Graham! Give me Will Graham! But there
Marie Vigouroux:is one thing though, because, like, I do want to start this
Marie Vigouroux:conversation that you know he does kind of like hints that
Marie Vigouroux:they could use couples therapy, which, like, yeah, because, I
Marie Vigouroux:mean, I've never been married, so maybe you can tell me a bit
Marie Vigouroux:more about that. But like, you don't get to not telling your
Marie Vigouroux:spouse about your state, about, like, your illness that, you
Marie Vigouroux:know, I'm trying to be coy about this, even though I have it
Marie Vigouroux:like, written out. You don't get to that point in a vacuum,
Marie Vigouroux:right? Like there's gonna be a real big history of like stuff
Marie Vigouroux:to get to that point and to kind of bring back the Iranian
Marie Vigouroux:yogurt, like the Iranian yogurt is not the problem here.
Jeremy Greer:I can't wait for people to hear that. Like, we're
Jeremy Greer:gonna get so much, so much feedback from that at feedback
Jeremy Greer:from that. I think I want to talk about this in depth,
Jeremy Greer:especially from the perspective of someone who has an illness
Jeremy Greer:and that is married, but I want to wait till we actually have
Jeremy Greer:the conversation between Jack and Bella towards towards the
Jeremy Greer:end of the episode.
Marie Vigouroux:Perfect.
Jeremy Greer:I just think that would be the best place for it.
Jeremy Greer:Meanwhile, we're going to skip ahead in time a little bit, and
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal is now helping Will with his case, looking for
Jeremy Greer:books. At the same time, kind of - it's real difficult to make
Jeremy Greer:notes on the conversation they're having, because Hannibal
Jeremy Greer:will talk about this case and then switch it back to Jack
Jeremy Greer:Crawford and at the same time, like, go back to Will's mother,
Jeremy Greer:go back to the case like it bounces all over the place at a
Jeremy Greer:very like, easily readable format. But it's difficult to
Jeremy Greer:make notes about this because they're all over the place. And
Jeremy Greer:he specifically says, Will says he wonders how they can profile
Jeremy Greer:somebody with a brain tumor that's not acting rationally,
Jeremy Greer:like profiling a person is all based on predicting behavior
Jeremy Greer:right of being able to see the factors in someone's life to
Jeremy Greer:make them make the decisions that they do. And if you put a
Jeremy Greer:brain tumor in the mix, then that that means that their
Jeremy Greer:decisions they're making aren't necessarily rational, or they're
Jeremy Greer:not, you know, they're not predictable.
Marie Vigouroux:They're not fully in control.
Jeremy Greer:Yes. And then he specifically says, If you can't
Jeremy Greer:be God, can you become him? Which is -
Marie Vigouroux:Take a shot everyone, because I'm obviously
Marie Vigouroux:thinking supernatural.
Jeremy Greer:Yes. We're definitely both thinking
Jeremy Greer:Wupernatural. Hannibal turns at this conversation on Will and
Jeremy Greer:says, Do you feel abandoned? And Will kind of insist that he
Jeremy Greer:doesn't feel abandoned, specifically about Jack. And
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal responds, you say he hasn't abandoned you, but you
Jeremy Greer:find yourself wandering around in the middle of the night and
Jeremy Greer:man, like you just want Hannibal like, there's a there's a level
Jeremy Greer:of like, I want Hannibal to be good that I'm discovering inside
Jeremy Greer:myself, which is a crazy thing to say, because he's feeding
Jeremy Greer:human flesh to to other people unknowingly, and he's killing
Jeremy Greer:people and all this other stuff, but I just want him to be good
Jeremy Greer:for Will?
Marie Vigouroux:I really feel that, though, like, I really
Marie Vigouroux:feel that I think, I think that's a very human feeling to
Marie Vigouroux:be like, You know what? You have such potential, like, to see the
Marie Vigouroux:potential in somebody, rather than like, who they choose to
Marie Vigouroux:be. Yeah, I feel that.
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal starts to wonder if, well, first Will kind
Jeremy Greer:of picks up on this. He's like, are you trying to alienate me
Jeremy Greer:from Jack?
Marie Vigouroux:And like, Hannibal is really using the
Marie Vigouroux:info that he got from Bella right to further manipulate
Marie Vigouroux:Will. Like, that's what we were talking about before, but he's
Marie Vigouroux:already inferred that, like, during a large part of their
Marie Vigouroux:marriage, Bella has felt abandoned by Jack, and he
Marie Vigouroux:applies this to Will to kind of get a reaction. Because he's
Marie Vigouroux:like, Well, if this man is doing this to his wife, he's 100%
Marie Vigouroux:doing this to other people in his life.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, absolutely. What a great observation. I
Jeremy Greer:didn't pick up on that, but I. Absolutely he's doing that. And
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal turns this question and just basically starts talking
Jeremy Greer:about the killer again. And he starts, he basically suggesting,
Jeremy Greer:like, oh, like, we could probably make him, like, hurt
Jeremy Greer:himself. We can make him become self destructive. And then he
Jeremy Greer:says he's making angels to pray over him while he sleeps, who
Jeremy Greer:prays over us when we sleep. And I don't know, I didn't send it
Jeremy Greer:to you because it's full of spoilers, but there's a Reddit
Jeremy Greer:thread that's basically like me and my husband talk like
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal to amuse ourselves. And I mentioned like me and Autumn
Jeremy Greer:do this with the Tell me Will thing. But like, it's asking,
Jeremy Greer:like, a really complex question about something simple. And it's
Jeremy Greer:just so good. It's so it's so good the way that Hannibal
Jeremy Greer:talks, and like, you can definitely impersonate that of
Jeremy Greer:like, Tell me Will this a plate of fruit is a representation of
Jeremy Greer:the bounty of the country. What is your bounty? Literally
Jeremy Greer:anything. And it's so much fun.
Marie Vigouroux:I love that! I you know he's also, like,
Unknown:Absolutely. Yeah, it's, you know, from the first
Unknown:regardless of how predictable or unpredictable, or like, hammy,
Unknown:episode, Will said that he didn't like being in therapy. It
Unknown:this is like he really is getting under Will's skin,
Unknown:because he's, you know, he's getting through his usual walls
Unknown:of protection or his shell. And it's, it kind of makes me sad a
Unknown:lot, because, like, Will trusts Hannibal, like, immediately, in
Unknown:part because he's a therapist, but there's also more than that,
Unknown:right? Like, I don't know that Will would have trusted just any
Unknown:other therapist the way that he trusts Hannibal. And I just, I
Unknown:can't wait to, kind of like, scratch at that a little bit more.
Unknown:never really worked on him, quote, unquote. So this has to
Unknown:be the first time that he's gone this deep with anybody. And I
Unknown:think he only can because he views Hannibal as also like a
Unknown:consultant to these cases, right? Like they're working on
Unknown:this stuff together. It's not just Jack that they're working
Unknown:on, or, excuse me, not, just Will that they're working on
Unknown:Jesus Christ Jeremy. Get it straight.
Marie Vigouroux:But I also think that Will sees Hannibal as
Marie Vigouroux:an equal, to a certain degree, like, in a way that because, you
Marie Vigouroux:know, we talk a lot about Will, like, not finding where he fits
Marie Vigouroux:in, for some reason he fits right in with Hannibal, right?
Jeremy Greer:And I think the magic of the show is that
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal looks at Will the same way, like, even if he wants to
Jeremy Greer:control Will, like, there's something about Will that has
Jeremy Greer:him just transfixed. And it's that like, oh, he could be just
Jeremy Greer:like me. And it's, it's fascinating to watch the two
Jeremy Greer:play off of one another. We go from Hannibal's office to Jack's
Jeremy Greer:bedroom. This is the second time we've been in Jack's bedroom,
Jeremy Greer:which is a weird thing to say, and Bella and him are getting
Jeremy Greer:ready for bed, and Jack knows something is wrong, and he's
Jeremy Greer:reaching out to her. She kind of pushes this off, as you know,
Jeremy Greer:problems at work a lot on my mind, kind of thing. And she
Jeremy Greer:describes it as out of his jurisdiction. And then Jack does
Jeremy Greer:a particularly awful thing, of saying, I won't even insult you
Jeremy Greer:by asking you if there's if there's someone else, which is a
Jeremy Greer:way of asking if there's someone else. As she points out to
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal later, I hate this kind of stuff. Like, I just, I don't
Jeremy Greer:like that kind of phrasing. I don't I just it feels very
Jeremy Greer:manipulative, which, of course, Jack is in his professional
Jeremy Greer:life, so it makes sense that he would use that with his wife.
Jeremy Greer:But also, like, I don't try to manipulate my wife.
Marie Vigouroux:He treats her the same way that he treated
Marie Vigouroux:that little boy in his car in the last episode.
Jeremy Greer:Exactly. Yeah, kind of, and it's, it just
Jeremy Greer:doesn't feel good.
Marie Vigouroux:No, it's such a lack of respect towards your
Marie Vigouroux:spouse, in my opinion, like, and again, it shows, I think, like,
Marie Vigouroux:a long standing pattern of behavior like you don't get to
Marie Vigouroux:that point without having done this quite a few times before.
Jeremy Greer:And but at the same time, though, I can see
Jeremy Greer:there's been times where, like, I knew something was going on
Jeremy Greer:with Autumn and she wasn't ready to talk about it, right? And the
Jeremy Greer:thing that you realize as a long term partner is, like, she's
Jeremy Greer:gonna tell me, like, I just have to wait, like me trying to
Jeremy Greer:pressure her into saying something. And Jack kind of gets
Jeremy Greer:this here, but I look at Jack and I'm like, You guys are older
Jeremy Greer:than I am. I don't know how long you've been married. It sounds
Jeremy Greer:like a long time. If y'all met when you were in the service,
Jeremy Greer:right? Like, before, even before the FBI. So y'all been married a
Jeremy Greer:while. You should know how to do this. Like, if I can figure this
Jeremy Greer:out in the first five to 10 years of my marriage, like, and
Jeremy Greer:really, guys should just know how to do this in general. Like,
Jeremy Greer:it just takes us a long time. For some reason, we're just real
Jeremy Greer:dumb, and we've been probably, you know, conditioned by our
Jeremy Greer:environment to be shitty assholes. So it takes us a while
Jeremy Greer:to lose that, that shell, so to speak. But it just, it just
Jeremy Greer:really, it frustrates me, and also, like, I have empathy for
Jeremy Greer:Jack at the same time of wanting to know what's up.
Marie Vigouroux:Of course, and I think, I think that's, like,
Marie Vigouroux:definitely very relatable. Like, I totally get that. But like,
Marie Vigouroux:not like this.
Jeremy Greer:Not like this, exactly.
Marie Vigouroux:Not like this.
Jeremy Greer:We cut over to Cleveland, Ohio. Our killer is
Jeremy Greer:walking down the street when he sees a security guard with his
Jeremy Greer:head on fire. And then we cut almost immediately to Will who
Jeremy Greer:is staring at a body that is suspended dozens of feet in the
Jeremy Greer:air with, of course, more more skin wings made. Jack is, is
Jeremy Greer:curious about why he's using angels and Will points out that,
Jeremy Greer:like, it's not a biblical thing, because in the Bible, you know,
Jeremy Greer:angels don't have wings. That's that's a, that's a, like a
Jeremy Greer:modern religion, not a modern but that's like a religious
Jeremy Greer:thing. And just like the idea of trying to turn a human into a
Jeremy Greer:biblically accurate angel is terrifying.
Marie Vigouroux:There you go. Biblically accurate Angel.
Marie Vigouroux:Everybody take a sip of your water bottle, because obviously
Marie Vigouroux:I'm thinking about I am the size of your Chrysler Building.
Jeremy Greer:It's so many questions, so many questions
Jeremy Greer:that show never answers about this. The six sentence line of
Jeremy Greer:I'm the size of a Chrysler Building. They also find
Jeremy Greer:testicles. It's and they come to the conclusion that this dude
Jeremy Greer:cut off his own testicles, which is a wild thing, and not really
Jeremy Greer:followed up on in any means, like I would imagine, there's,
Jeremy Greer:there's a lot of the things that the show takes liberty with. And
Jeremy Greer:I would imagine, like, invasive surgery, like that would leave,
Jeremy Greer:I don't know, would make it so that you can't really walk
Jeremy Greer:already, you know what I'm saying, like, but this dude just
Jeremy Greer:-
Marie Vigouroux:I can imagine that it would be incredibly
Marie Vigouroux:painful. And I think, but, and yes, 100% like this. I was like,
Marie Vigouroux:this does not, this doesn't, but it also reminds me of how loosey
Marie Vigouroux:goosey they're playing it with the the ERT people, right? Like
Marie Vigouroux:the process of the investigation and everything. So I'm like,
Marie Vigouroux:Okay, I need to just, like, not think about this too hard,
Marie Vigouroux:because at the end of the day, the show is not about this
Marie Vigouroux:investigation, it's about the relationships that are
Marie Vigouroux:developing through it.
Jeremy Greer:And normally I'm okay, but when there's like, a
Jeremy Greer:man's testicles on the ground, they're like, well, he, you
Jeremy Greer:know, he castrated himself, or whatever, and I'm like, I don't
Jeremy Greer:even Okay, all right,let's Okay. Jack begins to pressure Will,
Jeremy Greer:you know, what is he doing? Why is he doing this? What is he
Jeremy Greer:thinking? And eventually, Will snaps. You're the head of the
Jeremy Greer:behavioral unit, Jack, why don't you come up with your own
Jeremy Greer:answers? And Jack marches forward, turns around, and you
Jeremy Greer:could see the rest of the ERT crew scattering as he looks at
Jeremy Greer:Will and says, I did not hear that. And Will immediately
Jeremy Greer:apologizes and says, No, I'm sorry you didn't.
Marie Vigouroux:This is really funny, because, like, everybody
Marie Vigouroux:scatters right when this happens, and it's, it really is
Marie Vigouroux:like the siblings walking away when one kid challenges dad,
Marie Vigouroux:right? Like, bringing back the theme of family. But also, I
Marie Vigouroux:feel like you've said this phrase to me before, like, why
Marie Vigouroux:don't you come up with your own answers? And I'm like, Oh, my
Marie Vigouroux:God, you're, you're playing me. Great job, by the way. That was
Jeremy Greer:We have this wonderful shot of will literally
Jeremy Greer:great.
Jeremy Greer:standing under the underneath this angel looking up. And I
Jeremy Greer:just just sometimes the cinematography really gets to
Jeremy Greer:me. I just need to point it out.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, it is really beautiful, and it's so
Marie Vigouroux:eerie, and it's like, is this foreshadowing, like, who is
Marie Vigouroux:watching over Will, right?
Jeremy Greer:Back at the morgue. We have this really
Jeremy Greer:wonderful conversation between Beverly and Will. She's She's
Jeremy Greer:shocked at what he said to Jack, and says that it feels like the
Jeremy Greer:first time I heard my mom curse, which is very funny as somebody
Jeremy Greer:whose mother, like, had the mouth of a sailor, like, like, I
Jeremy Greer:can, I can, I could see, like, oh, like, my mom never said the
Jeremy Greer:word fuck before. Then I heard her say fuck when I was 15, and
Jeremy Greer:it would blew my mind, but I was like, I've been hearing that
Jeremy Greer:since I was like, like a baby. But she asked if he's if he's
Jeremy Greer:okay, and he in like, a moment of, I guess, vulnerability. He
Jeremy Greer:says, Do I seem different? And she very casually says, like,
Jeremy Greer:you're a little different. And I really, really love the line
Jeremy Greer:delivery on that, like you're a little different. And she says,
Jeremy Greer:you know, hey, you would know something is off with me,
Jeremy Greer:because if you asked me, I would tell you. Can you return the
Jeremy Greer:favor? In other words, saying, like, if I just asked you, if
Jeremy Greer:you're okay, would you just tell me so that we could, I could
Jeremy Greer:help you. Absolutely love this.
Marie Vigouroux:It's really lovely. I mean, Beverly is, I've
Marie Vigouroux:said this before, but I want to say it again, because she really
Marie Vigouroux:is the only person to treat Will like a human being with his own
Marie Vigouroux:will, right? Like she treats him like a fellow person, which you
Marie Vigouroux:know, neither Jack nor Hannibal nor frankly, Alana Bloom are
Marie Vigouroux:doing so I really appreciate Beverly in this moment.
Jeremy Greer:They've they start identifying the victims. We're
Jeremy Greer:going to run through a bunch of this case stuff real quick. The
Jeremy Greer:interesting thing is, the victims are all criminals. The
Jeremy Greer:couple like to capture women and rape and murder them. They say
Jeremy Greer:the security guard was a convicted felon, which used to
Jeremy Greer:sound a lot worse to me, until I realized, like, literally, what
Jeremy Greer:you can do to be a felon in this country is very, very small. So
Jeremy Greer:it doesn't seem like he deserved to have his skin - nobody
Jeremy Greer:deserves to have your skin taken off. But like to lump him in
Jeremy Greer:with the rapers and the murderers. I was like, feels a
Jeremy Greer:little weird.
Marie Vigouroux:I know, right. Plus, like, technically, like,
Marie Vigouroux:if you've been convicted for something and you're now out, it
Marie Vigouroux:just means that like, you have, technically, according to the -
Marie Vigouroux:to what we have decided is justice in this society, you
Marie Vigouroux:have paid back your debt. And so, like, what?
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, what is he? Why is he a bad dude? And
Jeremy Greer:there's the idea that this guy's a vigilante, but will shuts that
Jeremy Greer:down. Autumn. Was like, Do you think he's Daredevil? I was
Jeremy Greer:like, No, I don't think he's Daredevil.
Marie Vigouroux:You know, the angels, the Catholicism.
Jeremy Greer:He's got a lot of, he's got a lot of guilt. The
Jeremy Greer:Daredevil does. He carries that guilt around with him, but he
Jeremy Greer:thinks that the angel maker is trying to become God. He doesn't
Jeremy Greer:have to know that they're criminals or bad people or
Jeremy Greer:whatever. He just has to believe because there's the question of,
Jeremy Greer:like, you know, how does he know how does he know that they're
Jeremy Greer:bad people? And he, you know, he can't. He doesn't. There's
Jeremy Greer:nothing Supernatural in this, except for all of the
Jeremy Greer:Supernatural references.
Marie Vigouroux:Take a shot.
Jeremy Greer:But you know, he's just choosing to believe that
Jeremy Greer:these people are bad, which is kind of, you know, which is
Jeremy Greer:terrifying.
Marie Vigouroux:It is, it is, because then that's again, like,
Marie Vigouroux:that's nowhere near justice, right?
Jeremy Greer:Absolutely. Yeah, that's just, that's just, you
Jeremy Greer:know, random murders at that point. Yeah, Bella is back at
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal's office, and they briefly discussed Jack's
Jeremy Greer:accusation of cheating. And Hannibal points out that she
Jeremy Greer:seems more betrayed by Jack than her own body. And this is when
Jeremy Greer:she finally reveals that she has cancer. There's no point in mad
Jeremy Greer:- There's no point in being mad at cancer for being cancer. And
Jeremy Greer:she knows that this cancer will kill her regardless of whatever
Jeremy Greer:treatment she takes. And she has this line that says, I am slowly
Jeremy Greer:shrinking while this tiny thing grows larger every day. And it's
Jeremy Greer:this is kind of emotional to talk about, since I was
Jeremy Greer:diagnosed with cancer about a year ago. This is all - I'm sure
Jeremy Greer:she's had people in her life that have had cancer, or she's
Jeremy Greer:talked to people, because it's a very real feeling of you can't
Jeremy Greer:really be mad at it, like there's no point, right? It's
Jeremy Greer:just a wasted energy. And I don't know, I don't wanna live
Jeremy Greer:my life being mad at something that I can't change, and this
Jeremy Greer:idea of it growing larger while I'm shrinking every day, luckily
Jeremy Greer:enough, like I'm in stasis, like there's nothing growing larger
Jeremy Greer:inside me, but at the same time, like during the last year of not
Jeremy Greer:knowing, of being completely in the dark, and just like every
Jeremy Greer:three months getting updates basically about how all of this
Jeremy Greer:awful treatment is going it's really, really difficult not to
Jeremy Greer:think that you were shrinking just in terms of the people that
Jeremy Greer:you want to talk to, the food that you want to eat, the things
Jeremy Greer:that you want to experience. You know, we stopped going out. We
Jeremy Greer:when I was going through infusion therapy, like, I'm not
Jeremy Greer:going out to restaurants at the same time, right? Like we
Jeremy Greer:weren't, I wasn't going to movies, but I wasn't being
Jeremy Greer:social, I wasn't going to work as much that kind of thing. And
Jeremy Greer:so your life shrinks down, and it becomes, like kind of focused
Jeremy Greer:on this one thing. And it's really difficult to to watch
Jeremy Greer:something like this, especially with this wonderful actress she
Jeremy Greer:is, and just and not get emotional about this. And we're
Jeremy Greer:going to talk about it a little bit more towards the end, like I
Jeremy Greer:said, but this line really, really struck home with me.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, I listen like this is - what she's
Marie Vigouroux:describing in, in this, in this fictional story, what you're
Marie Vigouroux:describing based on your lived experience, like it's, it is
Marie Vigouroux:very, very close to what what people describe when they have,
Marie Vigouroux:like, chronic illness, right? Like, whether that is cancer or
Marie Vigouroux:something else, your life shrinks for all the reasons that
Marie Vigouroux:you mentioned. And so I, again, like I approach this with a more
Marie Vigouroux:theoretical view, and it like it's in line with basically
Marie Vigouroux:every single account of of like patient experience that that
Marie Vigouroux:I've read so far.
Jeremy Greer:It's It feels very real. It's also interesting. I
Jeremy Greer:didn't really notice this until I had cancer. How often cancer
Jeremy Greer:is used as motivation, character motivation and TV shows. Man,
Jeremy Greer:is, like, I rewatched the first Deadpool movie in preparation
Jeremy Greer:for the new one. Was like, Oh yeah, I forgot that his whole
Jeremy Greer:deal is that he has like, cancer, and he gets like, so sad
Jeremy Greer:about it that he wants to run away from his wife, like,
Jeremy Greer:literally, like Bella is doing here. Like Bella and Deadpool
Jeremy Greer:are going through the same shit.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, exactly. And it's it anyway, I have a lot
Marie Vigouroux:of thoughts about using - because, I mean, I see in I see
Marie Vigouroux:cancer also, like, as a as an illness, and obviously, which
Marie Vigouroux:can then also be talked about as a disability, and the amount of
Marie Vigouroux:times that disability is used, like to motivate a character,
Marie Vigouroux:and a lot of the times it's not done well at all, right, like,
Marie Vigouroux:but here I have to say, like, this is, this feels genuine in a
Marie Vigouroux:way that is truly heartbreaking.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, she feels, she makes it seem like it's like
Jeremy Greer:she's going through it, and I think that's important. She
Jeremy Greer:makes it feel truthful, yeah, and she says that, you know,
Jeremy Greer:it's frustrating too, because she feels fine, which is also a
Jeremy Greer:thing that I have with like. I've never really actually had
Jeremy Greer:any negative effects from the cancer. It's been all of the
Jeremy Greer:stuff we've done since we found the cancer, there's going to be
Jeremy Greer:the negative effects, which is weird, right? Like, and Hannibal
Jeremy Greer:says you will feel fine up until the precise moment that you
Jeremy Greer:don't. And she talks about how boring this story is, because
Jeremy Greer:the ending is always the same. And you could tell she's just
Jeremy Greer:frustrated with this general like she's having the ennui from
Jeremy Greer:having been diagnosed, right? She's, she's, she's really
Jeremy Greer:having an existential crisis about it.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, and I think especially, like, because,
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, the reality is, she's, do we know how long exactly
Marie Vigouroux:she's known at this point in the episode?
Jeremy Greer:She says, she's, at this episode, at this point
Jeremy Greer:in the episode? No, but she says 12 weeks later.
Marie Vigouroux:Twelve weeks, right? Like, it's still, I mean,
Marie Vigouroux:I'm sorry, but like, three months into knowing that you
Marie Vigouroux:have, you know, cancer, it's, it's like, you still haven't
Marie Vigouroux:gotten used to the idea, right?
Jeremy Greer:It's brand new that first month you were not
Jeremy Greer:processing anything, right?
Marie Vigouroux:Exactly.
Jeremy Greer:Like it's, it's absolutely, those first three
Jeremy Greer:months, you just don't know.
Marie Vigouroux:And so, like, I think that she is still very
Marie Vigouroux:much like trying to navigate her way through her own choices
Marie Vigouroux:here, right? And I guess, like, my whole thing about my whole
Marie Vigouroux:thought about what she's saying here, is that I don't think it
Marie Vigouroux:matters so much how the story ends, especially when you're
Marie Vigouroux:given that kind of of of diagnosis, but it matters how
Marie Vigouroux:people who are given this diagnosis are choosing to
Marie Vigouroux:navigate their own stories.
Jeremy Greer:Yes. From here we go to will who is awake at
:35, at night, according to his - clock? I I don't know
:where I was going with that, his nightstand clock, his alarm
:clock, on the gun or whatever. And then we see him kind of fade
:in and out, going to sleep, waking up at 2am and then at 5am
:and finally he starts drifting off. We see his eyes like moving
:as if he is in that REM stage. And then he wakes up, and the
:dogs are barking, and as the camera pulls out, we realize
:that he's no longer in his bed. He's on the roof of his porch
:with absolutely no memory of getting going there, and all of
:the dogs are inside, just like, freaking out because they're
:worried about him so much.
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, this is really terrifying, right? Like,
Marie Vigouroux:it's, it's, it's close to, like, what I was talking about earlier
Marie Vigouroux:with my sister, and, like, taking the keys to my dad's car,
Marie Vigouroux:right?
Jeremy Greer:Absolutely, yeah, it's exactly the same thing. So
Jeremy Greer:we go for Hannibal's office, where Will is chewing on pills,
Jeremy Greer:which is another, like TV trope that I don't really like that
Jeremy Greer:much, but whatever. And saying that he starts, he's beginning
Jeremy Greer:to dream more, and Hannibal points out that his dreams were
Jeremy Greer:the last place he felt safe, but no longer.
Marie Vigouroux:Right, because in a previous episode, like Will
Marie Vigouroux:is talking about how he's dreaming of, like, seeing his
Marie Vigouroux:house from above, right? And this is where he feels the
Marie Vigouroux:safest, and like, this is what he's his body is trying to have
Marie Vigouroux:him recreate, or having trying to do, I guess, like he ends up
Marie Vigouroux:trying to get above the house by going on the roof. And I'm, I
Marie Vigouroux:was, I was writing this this morning, and I'm like, is this
Marie Vigouroux:will subconscious trying to tell him that he needs to watch over
Marie Vigouroux:himself, that, like there is great danger in front of him
Marie Vigouroux:that he's not aware of. And Will anyway, poor Will is just so
Marie Vigouroux:caught up in his own stuff right now that he's not seeing the
Marie Vigouroux:danger.
Jeremy Greer:It's so it's like you just want to reach out and
Jeremy Greer:give him a hug. Poor Will
Marie Vigouroux:I know!
Jeremy Greer:They talk about the angel maker. And Will
Jeremy Greer:explains the theory of the angel maker looking for quote,
Jeremy Greer:unquote, naughty people. And there's this scene where Will
Jeremy Greer:slowly walks towards this statue in Hannibal's office that's of a
Jeremy Greer:stag, and he talks about how the angel maker's brain is working
Jeremy Greer:against him, like he's just, like, he's trying to do
Jeremy Greer:something, but his brain is literally not allowing him to do
Jeremy Greer:so.
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, this is also, I think, like, kind of
Marie Vigouroux:what's going on with Will, right? I'm not too sure in what
Marie Vigouroux:way maybe his - because, like, his brain and his body seem to
Marie Vigouroux:have two different agendas at the moment, right? When in - for
Marie Vigouroux:Will. And this is, I feel like what he isn't quite aware is
Marie Vigouroux:going on. And
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal begins to compare the two of them, because
Jeremy Greer:they both are looking for peace the angel maker and Will. And he
Jeremy Greer:tells Will, like, realize you have a choice. The Angel maker
Jeremy Greer:will be destroyed by what's in his head. But you don't have to
Jeremy Greer:be. And then, as this sinks in, Hannibal, and the positioning
Jeremy Greer:here, I think, is important to talk about, Will is staring at
Jeremy Greer:the stacks statue that's in Hannibal's office. Hannibal is
Jeremy Greer:behind him and kind of off to the side, and he literally leans
Jeremy Greer:over and just gets a big old whiff of Will. And it's, it's
Jeremy Greer:maybe, like the horniest thing imaginable, right? Like, it's
Jeremy Greer:incredibly horny, and Will is like, Did you just smell me? And
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal -
Marie Vigouroux:He was having none of it.
Jeremy Greer:Like, Will, I couldn't help myself. Like I
Jeremy Greer:could, I could barely get not to or whatever. And I'm just like,
Jeremy Greer:Y'all are, y'all are a lot, right? Now, you are absolutely a
Jeremy Greer:lot. Um.
Marie Vigouroux:And Hannibal is not happy with what he's
Marie Vigouroux:smelling.
Jeremy Greer:No, no. He describes it as he describes it
Jeremy Greer:as his aftersave of being like it smells like something with a
Jeremy Greer:ship on the bottle and and this is a line directly from the
Jeremy Greer:movies and the T - and the books. So this is a thing that
Jeremy Greer:in this adaptation of the story, they're much more on, like, an
Jeremy Greer:even keel, right? Like they are. They're kind of partners in
Jeremy Greer:this. In Red Dragon, it's a different situation. And
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal uses this as a - to try to get inside of Will's head, to
Jeremy Greer:to try to, like, basically, turn his own insecurities about being
Jeremy Greer:poor against him, right? Again, just at this point, Hannibal is
Jeremy Greer:in jail, and Will is like asking for his help, like it's a whole
Jeremy Greer:situation, so he's just screwing with Will. But here it's much
Jeremy Greer:more, much, much more horny. It is just incredibly -
Marie Vigouroux:Oh it is so horny. like that - Yes,
Marie Vigouroux:absolutely. See, it didn't even like come to my mind that this
Marie Vigouroux:could have been like a stab at him for, for for being poor,
Marie Vigouroux:like, this is I just saw it as, like, being incredibly horny.
Jeremy Greer:That's why I love it. Like they took something
Jeremy Greer:directly from the books and, like, basically, and, like,
Jeremy Greer:plopped it over here, but made it completely different, feeling
Jeremy Greer:like a completely different resonation from this. And it's
Jeremy Greer:just so good. It's so it's so fantastic.
Marie Vigouroux:So you said something in the discord that
Marie Vigouroux:you were gonna work on like a different horny voice for this
Marie Vigouroux:podcast. And I feel like I do have to bring this up. I was
Marie Vigouroux:like, please don't.
Jeremy Greer:I was gonna spare you any horny voices.
Marie Vigouroux:Keep them for Chris, please.
Jeremy Greer:Weah, we'll, we'll see if any any wacky voices come
Jeremy Greer:out, but we'll let it happen naturally. I won't force the
Jeremy Greer:horny voices to your promise. We have found the crew has found
Jeremy Greer:the angel maker one Elliot Buddh, and they found him
Jeremy Greer:through blah, blah, blah, blah, who cares? They also found his
Jeremy Greer:wife, who says, and they bring her in for an interview, and she
Jeremy Greer:begins to talk about leaving him after his diagnosis. And she
Jeremy Greer:describes Elliot pulling away from her, and the family
Jeremy Greer:becoming a little bit more angry, not wanting her kids
Jeremy Greer:around that. And she's saying all of this to Will and Jack in
Jeremy Greer:Jack's office, and Will is here like I'm doing the interview,
Jeremy Greer:but as she says this, Jack is realizing this is exactly what
Jeremy Greer:my wife is doing. This is what Bella is doing to me. She's
Jeremy Greer:pulling away. She's a little snappish. And he has this, like,
Jeremy Greer:continual revelation. And it's so well done, because even Will
Jeremy Greer:is looking over, like, What in the fuck are you doing? Man,
Jeremy Greer:like, we're gonna interview. But this, you know, this is
Jeremy Greer:completely taken out Jack altogether.
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, yeah, I think you said it really well,
Marie Vigouroux:like they're just, there are two conversations happening in this
Marie Vigouroux:one conversation, in this one scene. And, like, you know,
Marie Vigouroux:again, like, I'm not particularly interested in,
Marie Vigouroux:like, the the getting information for the case, but I
Marie Vigouroux:am very invested in Jack realizing that his wife is very,
Marie Vigouroux:very sick.
Jeremy Greer:We get a lot of information about Elliot through
Jeremy Greer:here. We found out he wasn't religious, but he did have a
Jeremy Greer:near death experience, and it was at this farm when he grew
Jeremy Greer:up. So of course, Will and Jack had to the farm, and in the
Jeremy Greer:farm, they find the very improbable Elliot, who has
Jeremy Greer:somehow suspended himself in the air and and tore off his back
Jeremy Greer:skin to make his own wings. And Will says, This is the last one
Jeremy Greer:he made himself to an angel. And it's -
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, the logistics of this alone is, is a
Marie Vigouroux:lot.
Jeremy Greer:Like, I feel like it's something you'd have to
Jeremy Greer:practice once you know what I'm saying. And I don't know how you
Jeremy Greer:would do that. I don't know how you would manage the or, like,
Jeremy Greer:maybe, maybe he did, maybe, like, the security guard was his
Jeremy Greer:practice on this right? Like, maybe he made the security guard
Jeremy Greer:do it. But, like you said earlier, like, I've refused to
Jeremy Greer:get hung up on this stuff because it just looks cool, like
Jeremy Greer:it is very improbable, but it's at the same time. Like, sure.
Jeremy Greer:Like, let's do it.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, there you go.
Jeremy Greer:Will says this was his choice. And as a strong
Jeremy Greer:breeze comes through the barn, he tells Jack he may not be
Jeremy Greer:useful anymore, and they get into this argument where Jack is
Jeremy Greer:being very manipulative throughout this whole thing,
Jeremy Greer:Will is expressing like a direct feeling of this is getting
Jeremy Greer:harder and harder to look at. This is bad for me. And Jack is
Jeremy Greer:responding with, well, I know what happens when you don't look
Jeremy Greer:like what happens if you go back to your classroom and more more
Jeremy Greer:murders happen, that kind of thing, and it's really
Jeremy Greer:manipulative, like it's not Will's responsibility to save
Jeremy Greer:every single person ever killed by a serial killer in the United
Jeremy Greer:States, right? Like, is he's Is he bad for not being in Italy,
Jeremy Greer:where there's other serial killers, like it just doesn't
Jeremy Greer:that kind of logic really irritates me, but it works on
Jeremy Greer:Will, which also we were saying to me.
Marie Vigouroux:I know same honestly, and I feel like,
Marie Vigouroux:again, just because of what we're talking about in this
Marie Vigouroux:episode, like he's literally sorry. I'm getting mad, but like
Marie Vigouroux:-
Jeremy Greer:Get mad, let's do it.
Marie Vigouroux:I'm getting so mad because he's literally
Marie Vigouroux:trying to reach out, the same way that Beverly said that he
Marie Vigouroux:should, and he's being honest with Jack, and he's telling him
Marie Vigouroux:that he's not doing well, and Jack is just so caught up in his
Marie Vigouroux:own stuff and with his own goals that he actually just doesn't
Marie Vigouroux:have the capacity to care in the moment, right? And so if we go
Marie Vigouroux:back to the parallel between like Will and Bella in their
Marie Vigouroux:relationship to Jack, like, I can't help but see that this is
Marie Vigouroux:what Bella must have been going through all these years, right?
Marie Vigouroux:Like an emotionally unavailable spouse, and, you know, like, no
Marie Vigouroux:wonder she won't tell him she's not okay anymore, because if
Marie Vigouroux:this is how he reacts when he's being told that, like somebody
Marie Vigouroux:around him isn't okay, then, like, I don't know, I probably
Marie Vigouroux:wouldn't want to talk about that with him. With him either.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah it's, um, it's interesting, because
Jeremy Greer:they've, they've shown us two, three major interactions with
Jeremy Greer:Jack and Bella. One was in the last episode, where he's like,
Jeremy Greer:is it too late to have kids? Which I talked a lot about how,
Jeremy Greer:like, emotionally manipulative that is especially and we didn't
Jeremy Greer:know she had cancer at the time, right? So can you imagine
Jeremy Greer:hearing that when you have diagnosed with stage four
Jeremy Greer:cancer? Like, I just can't imagine how that would make you
Jeremy Greer:feel. And then we see them eating, which is whatever, and
Jeremy Greer:then we see them back in the bed where he's he seems like he's an
Jeremy Greer:emotionally available spouse, right? Like he makes it seem
Jeremy Greer:like because he's asking questions and doing his thing,
Jeremy Greer:but at the same time. Like, you get the impression that this
Jeremy Greer:wasn't always there, or it isn't. He's not always there for
Jeremy Greer:the reverse so, like, if she reached out to him, he wouldn't
Jeremy Greer:be there. So it's only important that he gets that emotional
Jeremy Greer:availability when he wants it. And I'm reading into a lot here,
Jeremy Greer:and I'm also pulling in a lot of stuff from from Jack Crawford,
Jeremy Greer:from the books and the movies and things. But we're all right?
Jeremy Greer:I mean, we both are right.
Marie Vigouroux:Weah. And the thing is, like, I don't, I mean,
Marie Vigouroux:you said that something about it looks like he's emotionally
Marie Vigouroux:available in this moment. But I disagree with that. I don't
Marie Vigouroux:think so, because he is again, treating her like somebody that
Marie Vigouroux:he has to interrogate. This is an interrogation. This is an
Marie Vigouroux:interview. This is not a conversation with your spouse,
Marie Vigouroux:right? Like, and I think you're the one who said that you're
Marie Vigouroux:like, I don't talk to my wife that way. And like, Thank God
Marie Vigouroux:that you don't because, like -
Jeremy Greer:Probably why I still have a wife.
Marie Vigouroux:There you go.
Jeremy Greer:Jack also points out that, you know, Will could
Jeremy Greer:save someone if he chooses to go to his classroom instead of
Jeremy Greer:saving people that will sour his classroom. And then he says, I'm
Jeremy Greer:not your father, I'm not going to tell you what to do. And Will
Jeremy Greer:says, it feels like that's exactly what you're going to do,
Jeremy Greer:is tell me what to do again, just emotional, you know,
Jeremy Greer:manipulative. Jack stocks off. And when Will turns around. He's
Jeremy Greer:surprised, because Elliot is there, and Elliot says that he
Jeremy Greer:can see who WillWill is and that He can bring it out. And as we
Jeremy Greer:as he looks at Will, Will's face is on fire. Oh, my God. He says
Jeremy Greer:he can get it all the way out. I can give you the majesty of your
Jeremy Greer:becoming. And then he falls. And then, as Will looks around, we
Jeremy Greer:realized like he was never there, he's back up in the
Jeremy Greer:rafters. This was Will's hallucination. I really adore
Jeremy Greer:this, because Will is obviously hallucinating. This idea that he
Jeremy Greer:is has this inside him now, right? It's something that we've
Jeremy Greer:seen through since the beginning of the episode when he murdered
Jeremy Greer:Garrett Jacob Hobbs. So he's worried about killing somebody.
Jeremy Greer:He's worried about becoming somebody who likes killing
Jeremy Greer:that's the thing that he told Hannibal while they were at
Jeremy Greer:therapy in episode two or three. So him hallucinating this is a a
Jeremy Greer:sign of just how bad shit has gotten for Will's brain and B
Jeremy Greer:just thematically resonate with everything else that we've been
Jeremy Greer:talking about throughout this whole episode.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh my god. So again, like I'm watching this
Marie Vigouroux:for the first time here, and I'm just sitting at the edge of my
Marie Vigouroux:seat watching, like Elliot, and we get a point of view from
Marie Vigouroux:Elliot, right? Like we see Will's face on fire. And I'm
Marie Vigouroux:like, Oh, my God, is he still alive? What is happening? And
Marie Vigouroux:then you see that. It's like a hallucination. And it's like,
Marie Vigouroux:this was so reminiscent of that first episode, like when Hobbes
Marie Vigouroux:said, I see you, because I know that I've gone back and forth
Marie Vigouroux:about, like, is that something that really happened, or is that
Marie Vigouroux:something that Will imagined and like, I don't know if this is
Marie Vigouroux:Will being so rattled by Garrett Jacob Hobbs's words that he's
Marie Vigouroux:kind of like letting that infiltrate his brain, um, or, or
Marie Vigouroux:if he just dreamt up that first I see you like he's dreaming up
Marie Vigouroux:this one, and I don't know which one it is at this point in my
Marie Vigouroux:viewing, to be entirely honest with you. And like that is a
Marie Vigouroux:testament to how good this show is.
Jeremy Greer:So we got a note from a listener, and I haven't
Jeremy Greer:gone back to confirm this, but I usually trust the instincts of
Jeremy Greer:the listeners. A lot of times they are, they are. Have watched
Jeremy Greer:the show way more than I have, but they were asking us. They
Jeremy Greer:were sending a very polite correction because we've been
Jeremy Greer:referring to Hodd's last words as I see you. And apparently he
Jeremy Greer:just says, See, as with a question mark, which they were
Jeremy Greer:saying, can completely change kind of the intonation of the
Jeremy Greer:whole thing. And -
Marie Vigouroux:No way, really?
Jeremy Greer:And I haven't gone back to that first episode to
Jeremy Greer:find out. I went back to my notes on that first episode, and
Jeremy Greer:I definitely wrote down ICU, so I don't know, and I haven't
Jeremy Greer:looked at the script or anything like that. Again, have not
Jeremy Greer:confirmed it. I feel like, and I wanted to point bring it up,
Jeremy Greer:just because it's a very polite correction, and I like to bring
Jeremy Greer:this up. So thank you. But also, I feel like we were getting even
Jeremy Greer:that we had, like, the extra words in there. I feel like
Jeremy Greer:we're getting the exact same thing. I feel like we're sure
Jeremy Greer:we're still it's showing us exactly like you're saying, like
Jeremy Greer:he's, he's so worried, like he's, he's so rattled that it
Jeremy Greer:all of this is in his brain, and it's so I feel like we're
Jeremy Greer:getting the same thing. I need to go back to that first episode
Jeremy Greer:and watch but, yeah.
Marie Vigouroux:This is blowing my mind the same way that when a
Marie Vigouroux:listener told me that Mary in Supernatural like Mary's like,
Marie Vigouroux:sleep robe isn't white, it's actually pink in the first
Marie Vigouroux:episode.
Jeremy Greer:Oh yeah, absolutely I know that because I
Jeremy Greer:used it in so many music videos.
Marie Vigouroux:Like my mind is blown.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, this is like seeing the arrow in the FedEx
Jeremy Greer:logo, right? That you'll never, you'll never be able to unsee
Jeremy Greer:it.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, there you go.
Jeremy Greer:Jack is waiting outside Hannibal's office as
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal opens the door and is escorting Bella out. So he is he
Jeremy Greer:has caught his wife in the act. She even says, like, did you
Jeremy Greer:know I was here? Did you follow me? Like, kind of asking, you
Jeremy Greer:know, are you intruding on my privacy? And then she looks at
Jeremy Greer:his face and realize that he's figured it out. And it turns out
Jeremy Greer:she's been hiding stage four lung cancer for 12 weeks. And
Jeremy Greer:they share kind of a like a rueful chuckle when he says, you
Jeremy Greer:know, you don't even smoke. And she tells him at stage four, and
Jeremy Greer:says, like, we know there's no stage five, we see him extremely
Jeremy Greer:distraught, which is, which is very weird, because I think
Jeremy Greer:throughout this episode, it's one of the things I like about
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal a lot. Like throughout this episode, we've been looking
Jeremy Greer:at Jack as not necessarily a villain, but not necessarily
Jeremy Greer:like the nicest guy, but even the nicest guy would would take
Jeremy Greer:this news pretty poorly, so, but it's, but it's weird to see him
Jeremy Greer:distraught. It's weird to have any kind of empathy or sympathy
Jeremy Greer:for him at all,
Marie Vigouroux:Well. So that's the thing. Like, as much as I
Marie Vigouroux:don't, you know, like, I'm not saying that she's justified in
Marie Vigouroux:hiding this from him, like I do feel, you know, again, in a
Marie Vigouroux:marriage, you this is the kind of information that perhaps you
Marie Vigouroux:should share with your spouse. But I do understand the
Marie Vigouroux:behavior, like where it comes from, and I can empathize with
Marie Vigouroux:it, and I also empathize with Jack, who is kind of going
Marie Vigouroux:through this ordeal of like realizing that his wife kept
Marie Vigouroux:this huge thing from him for three months. And I can't help
Marie Vigouroux:but feel like, you know you're kind of reaping what you've
Marie Vigouroux:sowed in this relationship this entire time, right? Like, if
Marie Vigouroux:you're emotionally unavailable for your spouse for like, the
Marie Vigouroux:duration of your marriage, well this is the kind of shit that
Marie Vigouroux:you're gonna get in return, and it's not nice and it's not fun,
Marie Vigouroux:but, like, I don't know. Man, just desserts seems to be like a
Marie Vigouroux:theme in all of these episodes so far. And I feel like this is
Marie Vigouroux:a -
Jeremy Greer:Food pun not intended
Marie Vigouroux:I know, right? But this, this feels like, you
Marie Vigouroux:know, a very bitter just desserts, right?
Jeremy Greer:This is, this is a really complicated topic, I
Jeremy Greer:think. So it's, I think back to, like, when I first got on
Jeremy Greer:Tiktok, and I saw videos on Tiktok of people saying, like
Jeremy Greer:men, you need to pay attention to your wife and have an
Jeremy Greer:interest in what she has an interest in. Because if she
Jeremy Greer:doesn't, if she stops talking to you about it, that's because
Jeremy Greer:she's talking to someone else about it. And they were
Jeremy Greer:presenting this as if it was, like, news, new news. And I'm
Jeremy Greer:like, so you guys, like, there's guys out there that aren't just
Jeremy Greer:listening to what your wife is talking about and taking an
Jeremy Greer:interest in it. Like, do you like your wife? Like, it was
Jeremy Greer:that kind of thing of just like, realizing, like, so people are
Jeremy Greer:out there, like, literally not. Okay, well then, yeah, then you
Jeremy Greer:start seeing that emotional distance. And obviously, I think
Jeremy Greer:that's happened here with Jack and Bella, and it's really
Jeremy Greer:difficult for me to justify Bella not telling Jack about her
Jeremy Greer:diagnosis as somebody who like in a real awkward way, because
Jeremy Greer:everything's on apps now, like, learned his diagnosis by
Jeremy Greer:himself. Like, I got a I got an email, right? And it was like,
Jeremy Greer:what? And then, like, two seconds later, I get a phone
Jeremy Greer:call from my doctor, like, can you come in? And I'm like, Okay,
Jeremy Greer:so what I just readis 100% true. But like, Autumn was right there
Jeremy Greer:with me. She was literally, like, next to me, because I was
Jeremy Greer:like, I need you to come here and read this. And like, she was
Jeremy Greer:standing next to me as the doctor came up, you know, the as
Jeremy Greer:the doctor called me, and we worked through all of this
Jeremy Greer:together. She's been like an amazing person, an amazing level
Jeremy Greer:of support, every infusion, like every appointment, all of that
Jeremy Greer:stuff. And I can't imagine having gone through this without
Jeremy Greer:that. So when I when I first saw this, as I was watching it
Jeremy Greer:again, I was. Like, well, I feel like Bella is being a little
Jeremy Greer:selfish here by not sharing this, right, by not and also by
Jeremy Greer:not, like, sharing in the treatment. When she says, You
Jeremy Greer:know, I'm not going to have treatment. And he says, Do I get
Jeremy Greer:a say in this? And she just says, A flat No. It was never
Jeremy Greer:really a question for me, because, like, we, we, there was
Jeremy Greer:things to do that would actively improve stuff. So like, we were
Jeremy Greer:going to go through with that, but that would have been a
Jeremy Greer:conversation like me and Autumn would have gone through that,
Jeremy Greer:that whole conversation as I watched it for a second time, to
Jeremy Greer:make notes on it, I felt a little bit less like she was
Jeremy Greer:being selfish, but also like, I can totally recognize the
Jeremy Greer:instinct to not want to tell anybody, and it's for the thing
Jeremy Greer:that comes up a little later when he, like, tries to comfort
Jeremy Greer:her, and she's like, you're not going to be able to comfort me.
Jeremy Greer:I know you need to do that, but I can't give that to you,
Jeremy Greer:because, as you find out, when you're diagnosed, like people
Jeremy Greer:ask questions and that's what they they want to be reassured,
Jeremy Greer:like it's, it's way more about their emotions than your own.
Jeremy Greer:And I talked about this a little early, when she talked about
Jeremy Greer:shrinking because of that. Like you're you start shrinking down
Jeremy Greer:the people that you talk to and the people that you tell because
Jeremy Greer:they it's so much emotional labor to, I know that's a phrase
Jeremy Greer:that's been abused, but it is. It's emotional labor to, like,
Jeremy Greer:call up every single cousin or aunt or uncle and tell them,
Jeremy Greer:Hey, we got this done, and we're gonna about to do this. And
Jeremy Greer:well, are you doing okay? Can I do anything? No, we're fine.
Jeremy Greer:Like, that conversation just as it just takes forever with with
Jeremy Greer:people. And I know I'm kind of rambling at this point, but
Jeremy Greer:it's, it's, it's something that I really wanted to hit with this
Jeremy Greer:episode, especially with this conversation, because it is
Jeremy Greer:very, very complicated. I waited for a while to tell other people
Jeremy Greer:outside of my family. I waited for a while to tell extended
Jeremy Greer:family, like, I even waited for like, a week to tell, like,
Jeremy Greer:very, very close family, because we didn't know, we didn't know
Jeremy Greer:anything. So it's, it's, it's watching Bella in this situation
Jeremy Greer:I have a lot of empathy for and then in our conversation with
Jeremy Greer:this episode of kind of realizing, oh yeah, Jack's
Jeremy Greer:probably this is not like a first time thing. He's probably
Jeremy Greer:been distant with her this entire relationship. And then
Jeremy Greer:realizing what that must be like to get this diagnosed and
Jeremy Greer:realize, like, I can't go to him, like he's got too much
Jeremy Greer:other stuff to worry about. He's never been there for me
Jeremy Greer:emotionally for previous stuff. Why would he be there for me
Jeremy Greer:now? And he literally resents him for that, and just
Jeremy Greer:understanding that fully. But man, it's so difficult. It's
Jeremy Greer:such a difficult thing, because it is. It's terrifying. It's a
Jeremy Greer:very scary diagnosis.
Marie Vigouroux:Of course. When my mom got her stage four breast
Marie Vigouroux:cancer diagnosis, she started a WhatsApp group chat with all of
Marie Vigouroux:the family members that she wanted to keep in touch with, or
Marie Vigouroux:like all of the ones that she wanted to give updates to. And
Marie Vigouroux:she was like, I will give updates in this group chat. And
Marie Vigouroux:if you have questions, you can ask them in this group chat, but
Marie Vigouroux:I will not be answering questions.
Jeremy Greer:I don't want direct text about this.
Marie Vigouroux:Exactly.
Jeremy Greer:Feel free to text me about the TV show Hannibal,
Jeremy Greer:but nothing else.
Marie Vigouroux:Exactly. And she was like, I would, you know,
Marie Vigouroux:appreciate if you could let other people know when they're
Marie Vigouroux:asking what's going on. I have no problem with you giving out
Marie Vigouroux:this information, but I do not want to be explaining this any
Marie Vigouroux:more than I have to. So I, you know, obviously, like, I took
Marie Vigouroux:her to all of her chemo appointments because I worked in
Marie Vigouroux:the hospital where she was getting her treatment. And so,
Marie Vigouroux:like, I knew I was, like, there. But apart from that, like, she
Marie Vigouroux:basically didn't talk to anybody about it, except in this
Marie Vigouroux:Whatsapp group chat, which I thought I was like, good job,
Marie Vigouroux:queen, you did, you know? Doing things on your own terms, I
Marie Vigouroux:think is so so so important. When so much of this is out of
Marie Vigouroux:your control, right? Like, regaining some control over some
Marie Vigouroux:things is so so so important.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah I don't want to talk. This is going to sound
Jeremy Greer:negative of my father, but I don't mean it to be. But like,
Jeremy Greer:he had gone through a cancer thing, and he had went through
Jeremy Greer:like, a specific he went to a specific place, like a cancer
Jeremy Greer:treatment center, and he was like, when he heard the news
Jeremy Greer:about me, he was like, We got to get you here. They're going to
Jeremy Greer:fix you. And I was like, Dude, there's not that, doesn't we're
Jeremy Greer:not at that stage. Like, but he was, he was like, no, no, they
Jeremy Greer:fixed me. They'll fix you. So he was, you know, kind of trying.
Jeremy Greer:To push that a little bit little bit. And it was one of those
Jeremy Greer:things where I was just like, look like, we're gonna consider
Jeremy Greer:all the options, but I'm making my own decisions. Like, there's
Jeremy Greer:no way that I can can do that. And again, he just wanted me to
Jeremy Greer:be healthy and, well, right? Like, that's not, that's an
Jeremy Greer:instinct that a father would have, not trying to say anything
Jeremy Greer:negative about him, like, or anything. I'll save that for
Jeremy Greer:therapy.
Marie Vigouroux:Even if you did, like, it'd be okay, right?
Marie Vigouroux:Like, no judgment there for me, of all people.
Jeremy Greer:But you know, it's, it's having that, that
Jeremy Greer:ability to make those decisions on your own, and again, to bring
Jeremy Greer:it back here, like you talked about, you know, your mom, I'm
Jeremy Greer:going back to the shell thing, and I'm thinking about, like, a
Jeremy Greer:shell closing, and thinking about, you know, this thing
Jeremy Greer:becoming larger while I grow grew smaller. And think about
Jeremy Greer:how I, you know, cut myself off from regular interaction with
Jeremy Greer:with friends and family to so I didn't have to have that right.
Jeremy Greer:Like I drew myself inside, much like, you know, I was about to
Jeremy Greer:say coquillé.
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, I feel like you should call it a
Marie Vigouroux:coquillé from now on, because that's what I'm gonna be doing.
Jeremy Greer:So yeah, that's a long conversation about
Jeremy Greer:something that's not really related directly to Hannibal,
Jeremy Greer:but I think it's like they treat it with such importance and
Jeremy Greer:grace in the show that I felt like we should talk about it as
Jeremy Greer:well. And it's something obviously that's very close to
Jeremy Greer:your heart with your heart with your mom, and it's very close to
Jeremy Greer:my heart, because, you know, that's where some of the cancer
Jeremy Greer:is, but it's something I wanted to take the time to do. So it
Jeremy Greer:feels weird to, like, move on from this, but like, it's -
Marie Vigouroux:Well I mean, it to segue a little bit back into
Marie Vigouroux:the show, like, the fact that she is saying that she's
Marie Vigouroux:refusing chemo and that he doesn't get a say over it. You
Marie Vigouroux:know, I think that there's, and I know that there are a lot of
Marie Vigouroux:people who are going to disagree with me on this, but I think
Marie Vigouroux:that, I think that that's a wonderful thing to be able to
Marie Vigouroux:say. This is how I want to deal with this, right? This is how I
Marie Vigouroux:want to to navigate this particular story, like, I don't
Marie Vigouroux:want chemo, knowing what I know about my particular diagnosis,
Marie Vigouroux:right? I think also, one of the things that happens when you
Marie Vigouroux:have cancer, when you have a loved one with cancer, everybody
Marie Vigouroux:is going to share their stories of their loved one with cancer,
Marie Vigouroux:right? And it's going to be either like, oh yeah, she died
Marie Vigouroux:in two months, or like, oh yeah. Like, the, you know, like with
Marie Vigouroux:your dad, like they were able to fix me, and it's like, yes, but
Marie Vigouroux:this is not the same thing, right? And so only the person
Marie Vigouroux:with the diagnosis, along with, you know, whoever they choose to
Marie Vigouroux:involve in the in that particular decision, can make
Marie Vigouroux:decisions about their own health, their own body, and what
Marie Vigouroux:they decide to do.
Jeremy Greer:It's, um, and it, I think the reason that that
Jeremy Greer:opinion might be unpopular is because people want their family
Jeremy Greer:to survive, right, like, and they and it's, it's difficult to
Jeremy Greer:hear that decision of and it's difficult to see that I hate the
Jeremy Greer:fact that even this is even before it was diagnosed. I hate
Jeremy Greer:the fact that cancer is like, kind of cast in this like fight
Jeremy Greer:kind of context of, like, we're battling cancer, we won. We
Jeremy Greer:kicked cancer's ass. We're gonna cancer up. Like, it's not, you
Jeremy Greer:know, like, a, I don't even know what. I don't even know anything
Jeremy Greer:we do that to, like, I don't understand, like, it's not an
Jeremy Greer:enemy, right? Like it's not, it's not -
Marie Vigouroux:Well it's the war metaphors, right? Like, when
Marie Vigouroux:it comes to illness and to cancer, when the reality, and
Marie Vigouroux:actually, I have written about thison a professional level -
Jeremy Greer:What do you do? Mary, I don't understand.
Marie Vigouroux:I talk about, like, literally, the philosophy
Marie Vigouroux:behind health and how we experience that, right, and
Marie Vigouroux:illness and all that stuff. That's literally what I do. So
Marie Vigouroux:it's a little bit esoteric, but it's a lot of it's a lot of
Marie Vigouroux:really interesting stuff. I was gonna say a lot of fun, but
Marie Vigouroux:really, no, like, I read about human suffering every single
Marie Vigouroux:day, very depressing, but I - there is actually a lot of
Marie Vigouroux:literature out there that says that it's not particularly
Marie Vigouroux:helpful. At the same time, if somebody wants to describe
Marie Vigouroux:themselves as like a cancer fighter, I will never take that
Marie Vigouroux:away from them, because that's how they decide to talk about
Marie Vigouroux:themselves. But when it comes to health and illness, like it's
Marie Vigouroux:much more of a wager, right? Like, you will do everything
Marie Vigouroux:that you can to put the odds in your favor, but at the end of
Marie Vigouroux:the day, there is a little bit of like out of your controlness
Marie Vigouroux:that comes into play, and a lot of it actually. And so, like I
Marie Vigouroux:said, what's really important is how you choose to navigate the
Marie Vigouroux:situation.
Jeremy Greer:And to end the scene. Bella says she's getting
Jeremy Greer:emotional at this point that she she didn't want their lives to
Jeremy Greer:change, but she didn't count on how much cancer would change
Jeremy Greer:her. And they hold hands, and the scene changes. And this is
Jeremy Greer:something also that I think about quite a bit, because it's
Jeremy Greer:it's - as a relatively young person to have cancer, you know,
Jeremy Greer:it was a challenge to get to a point where I'm not feeling like
Jeremy Greer:I'm taking something away from my partner by having cancer, and
Jeremy Greer:she never for a minute thought that, right? But for me, I'm
Jeremy Greer:like, Oh, now we can't travel. Now we can't do I was looking at
Jeremy Greer:it from all from a negative space of now we can't do this.
Jeremy Greer:Now we have to do that. Like, now you have to be with me at
Jeremy Greer:these infusions. And now we're, like, a year later, I'm like,
Jeremy Greer:oh, yeah, we can just go to Boston. That's no problem. I'm
Jeremy Greer:okay. We went to Italy for nine days, like, let's rock, let's
Jeremy Greer:let's do this. But I think especially early in the
Jeremy Greer:diagnosis, it's hard to get over this. It's hard to not think
Jeremy Greer:about those things negatively. And then we go back to Quantico,
Jeremy Greer:where Will kind of stops outside of Jack's office, and he goes
Jeremy Greer:in, he just tells jack that he's not going to leave that he
Jeremy Greer:refuses to leave until Jack says something, and he sits down,
Jeremy Greer:kind of a couple of spaces from Jack, as Jack is just looking
Jeremy Greer:into space, and the camera, like slowly, you know, pans over just
Jeremy Greer:until Jack is just in the frame. And that's where the episode
Jeremy Greer:ends. And Autumn pointed out, like, this is almost a direct
Jeremy Greer:callback to what Beverly asked to do, of will earlier, right,
Jeremy Greer:of just to ask if somebody was okay, and I didn't. I didn't
Jeremy Greer:even pick up on this. So props to autumn.
Marie Vigouroux:Autumn is on point. Like, absolutely, like,
Marie Vigouroux:Will really heard Beverly and what she was saying, and I
Marie Vigouroux:wonder, I kind of wonder how that's going to change the
Marie Vigouroux:relationship and hopefully make it evolve into, like a
Marie Vigouroux:friendship. Because I really, I really think that Beverly is
Marie Vigouroux:really good for Will. And also, like, just to kind of close this
Marie Vigouroux:out, like, Will is there for Jack, even though Jack was not
Marie Vigouroux:there for him when he needed it, right? And I think that, again,
Marie Vigouroux:that kind of goes to show the kind of person that Jack has
Marie Vigouroux:been, because Jack now has the opportunity to change, right?
Jeremy Greer:Yes.
Marie Vigouroux:This was like a wake up call for him. So
Marie Vigouroux:hopefully we'll see change, because I believe that people
Marie Vigouroux:can change, even though, unfortunately, they often choose
Marie Vigouroux:not to. And we'll see what happens with - I'll see what
Marie Vigouroux:happens with Jack, because you probably all know already.
Jeremy Greer:A lot of people listening already know, but
Jeremy Greer:yeah, I'm also curious to see, like, if this is going to have
Jeremy Greer:any kind of direct effect on Jack's treatment of Will
Jeremy Greer:specifically, yeah, like, will he be softer on Will, since he's
Jeremy Greer:going to have to be softer, quote, unquote, on his wife. And
Jeremy Greer:yeah, and the episode is, here we get our credits. I feel like
Jeremy Greer:this is a, this is a really great episode. It's weird to
Jeremy Greer:return to this episode after so long and have it be so
Jeremy Greer:significantly about cancer, since it's such a huge thing in
Jeremy Greer:my life now, and it was, it was good to talk about all of that
Jeremy Greer:stuff, everything. It's interesting. Like, I'm watching
Jeremy Greer:this and I'm remembering the quote that we put in the first
Jeremy Greer:episode about the show, like realizing the creators of the
Jeremy Greer:show realizing that it wasn't a monster of the week format, that
Jeremy Greer:there was something better there. And the stuff that I tend
Jeremy Greer:to remember about Hannibal episodes are like these
Jeremy Greer:grotesque and artistic kills, like, I will never forget the
Jeremy Greer:two winged people at the bottom of the bed, right? But at the
Jeremy Greer:same time as we're discussing these episodes, how it's
Jeremy Greer:fascinating how little that matters to me, like it's all
Jeremy Greer:just like noise in the background and like fodder for
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal and Will to talk about.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah well, it's funny. I think there was, you
Marie Vigouroux:were talking on Twitter with somebody who was saying that,
Marie Vigouroux:like, Hannibal was like a bait and switch in that way, right
Marie Vigouroux:where, like they appeared to be, like this Criminal Minds type
Marie Vigouroux:thing, but at the end of the day, like it was something so
Marie Vigouroux:much more than that. And, and I think that this is, again, like,
Marie Vigouroux:it's speaking to two different types of audiences, right? I
Marie Vigouroux:think it's, it's doing that really well, where it's doing
Marie Vigouroux:the the the investigation thing, but it's also actually focusing
Marie Vigouroux:on something else. And I just, I'm so interested in this,
Marie Vigouroux:something else, that, like, yes, the winged people, the skinned
Marie Vigouroux:winged people, are definitely present. But like, what comes
Marie Vigouroux:out for me, of this episode is, like, Hannibal's sniffing Will.
Marie Vigouroux:And I'm just, like, horny boy.
Jeremy Greer:What are you doing? How many people do you
Jeremy Greer:sniff like that? Like, even with Bella, like, if you compare it,
Jeremy Greer:though, like, it's like, he just, like, leaned over
Jeremy Greer:naturally and was like, Oh, I'm gonna take a whiff, right? Like,
Jeremy Greer:but with Will, like he leaned in and took a whiff.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh yes. He closes his eyes again. I've said
Marie Vigouroux:this in the last episode, but I didn't feel like what he when he
Marie Vigouroux:smelled Bella, of course, like blanket creepy, but not sexually
Marie Vigouroux:creepy, which it could have been, but it's not. When He
Marie Vigouroux:sniffed will sexually creepy, hundo P.
Jeremy Greer:100% I'm so I'm gonna put this here instead of
Jeremy Greer:the review section. So excited about the next episode. We have
Jeremy Greer:some we're gonna be introduced to a recurring character that I
Jeremy Greer:really like, and we're also going to be introduced to a
Jeremy Greer:guest star and one, Eddie Izzard, who I absolutely adore,
Jeremy Greer:so I was shocked when he showed up on the show. I think his
Jeremy Greer:pronouns are he nowadays, right? He's - they've changed them a
Jeremy Greer:couple of times, so now, I gotta be sure.
Marie Vigouroux:Yes there you go. There. I think there's a
Marie Vigouroux:fluidity there that's pretty cool.
Jeremy Greer:I'lluse they. But I was shocked when they showed
Jeremy Greer:up on the show, and I was very excited, because I've watched
Jeremy Greer:their stand up over the years and watched all that stuff. So
Jeremy Greer:just wanted to get you excited about it, too.
Marie Vigouroux:oh, my goodness. Well, I mean, I'm
Marie Vigouroux:probably gonna go and watch this like immediately.
Jeremy Greer:Do you have any last thoughts before we go into
Jeremy Greer:our reviews and our outro?
Marie Vigouroux:No. More thoughts at this point,
Marie Vigouroux:completely out of thoughts.
Jeremy Greer:No thoughts, no thoughts. Just smells.
Jeremy Greer:Just smells. Go drink some water. People.
Jeremy Greer:Well, this brings us to our review section. Mary, what is
Jeremy Greer:your review for this episode?
Marie Vigouroux:I am going to give it three stars, because as
Marie Vigouroux:delicious and intriguing as these coquilles, coquillés were
Marie Vigouroux:-
Jeremy Greer:Sorry, I'm so sorry.
Marie Vigouroux:No, no, don't be sorry. It's, it's, it's a
Marie Vigouroux:done thing now. Coquillé. The meat was a little too raw for my
Marie Vigouroux:taste.
Jeremy Greer:And I'm going to give it four stars. I thought
Jeremy Greer:the Coquilles were fresh, raw and meaty, and if you add a
Jeremy Greer:little hot sauce, you've got a delicious plate of food. I
Jeremy Greer:didn't ask you, do you eat shellfish? Like, do you are you
Jeremy Greer:an oyster kind of person?
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, yeah, I love shellfish, absolutely.
Jeremy Greer:Same.
Marie Vigouroux:Although, like, there are some clams that I
Marie Vigouroux:don't love. But like, I love oysters.
Jeremy Greer:We down here, like, char grilled oysters are
Jeremy Greer:kind of a specialty where they just, like, put them on the
Jeremy Greer:grill, and, like, put something on them, and, like, those are
Jeremy Greer:absolutely delicious. But I'll eat raw oysters not all day
Jeremy Greer:long. I have a have, like, a limit, like, I can't do like, a
Jeremy Greer:dozen by myself, like I can do about three or four with some,
Jeremy Greer:like, hot sauce and some crackers. And I'm like, okay,
Jeremy Greer:okay, let's, let's move on to something that doesn't we're
Jeremy Greer:gonna move on. Thank you everybody for listening. Again.

Marie Vigouroux:Bon appetit, everybody.
Jeremy Greer:I'm not. I'm not saying anything at all. Um,
Jeremy Greer:testing, testing, testing.
Marie Vigouroux:Yes, yes, yes, now I hear you perfect, but it
Marie Vigouroux:was totally a me issue. 100% yes, that was definitely a user
Marie Vigouroux:issue also.
Jeremy Greer:I just hope that we don't have the issues that we
Jeremy Greer:had yesterday. Oh, my God, totally normal. You know, I
Jeremy Greer:recorded with Chris for like an hour and a half right after
Jeremy Greer:that, and had no disconnection issues whatsoever. I don't know
Jeremy Greer:what was going on.
Marie Vigouroux:It was just one of those things. Like, you know,
Marie Vigouroux:when you tell everybody, oh, this place is really, really
Marie Vigouroux:nice, like, you will have such a good time. Like, the services
Marie Vigouroux:shit and the food is burnt.
Jeremy Greer:Oh no, I've brought somebody to the worst
Jeremy Greer:place imaginable. Yeah, I was, I was, I wasn't upset or anything.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah there you go. I think they liked the idea of the outtakes,
Jeremy Greer:I just felt bad. And I'm pretty much, I think I'm pretty much
Jeremy Greer:just going to edit that episode form and just, like, present
Jeremy Greer:them with basically a finished file, like, put your music on it
Jeremy Greer:exactly. I'm so sorry about that. There's a bunch of
Jeremy Greer:outtakes, I guess, that you can use, or not. It's up to you.
Jeremy Greer:though. So, you know, I think, you know, it'll work, it'll
Jeremy Greer:work.
Jeremy Greer:I think outtakes, and this is, you know, my personal bias, but
Jeremy Greer:because, because I've done it so long with Chris, I think it
Jeremy Greer:really gets you it gets listeners kind of bonded with
Jeremy Greer:the with the host a lot more. And like, they want to listen to
Jeremy Greer:the host talk more if they know that there's more stuff. Like,
Jeremy Greer:if you get you get you kind of get, they get to know you a
Jeremy Greer:little bit in a way that they don't normally would. And we do
Jeremy Greer:some outtakes on like, Days of Future cast, but not, not a lot.
Jeremy Greer:It's just mostly like, like, you know, someone's someone knocks
Jeremy Greer:their mic over, not saying who that would be.
Marie Vigouroux:Okay, then, who is it, Jeremy, I don't know. I
Marie Vigouroux:don't know who would it be?
Jeremy Greer:But, yeah. Really use I'm like, it's just become a
Jeremy Greer:thing with Chris and I were, like, we just talked for 20
Jeremy Greer:minutes, and it's mostly just me and Chris catching up more than
Jeremy Greer:anything.
Marie Vigouroux:So, I mean, that's kind of what it ends up
Marie Vigouroux:being, right? Like, I find that, sorry, now I'm reading, I'm
Marie Vigouroux:reading from the document that's there. Okay, good, no, but yeah,
Marie Vigouroux:I that's one thing that I found really cool. Plus, like, it
Marie Vigouroux:gives people the option of either listening to it or not. I
Marie Vigouroux:know that on my first listen of Monster of the Week, yes, I did
Marie Vigouroux:say first. I didn't really listen to the outtakes. And then
Marie Vigouroux:after that, when I was like, Oh my God, these guys are actually
Marie Vigouroux:so cool, I went back, like, listen to the outtakes with the
Marie Vigouroux:episodes. And it was, like, a really cool experience.
Jeremy Greer:There's, there's content in there, there's,
Jeremy Greer:there's hidden stuff. There's a song about werewolves hidden in
Jeremy Greer:there that I don't know, have any idea what episode it is, but
Jeremy Greer:some days I'll find it and pull it out and put it on SoundCloud.
Jeremy Greer:How was your flour guy? How was your flour meeting?
Marie Vigouroux:You know, I didn't even end up going because
Marie Vigouroux:I was so tired yesterday, like I just stayed on the couch and I
Marie Vigouroux:did nothing at all. Like I had so much laundry to do, I did
Marie Vigouroux:none of that. I had grocery shopping to do. I did none of
Marie Vigouroux:that. Like nothing got done except, like, just me on the
Marie Vigouroux:couch watching the Olympics. Like, that is it. I also knit a
Marie Vigouroux:little bit
Jeremy Greer:That's fantastic, though, sometimes you need that.
Jeremy Greer:Yeah,
Marie Vigouroux:I think I needed it. But, like, it was the
Marie Vigouroux:first day where I attempted, like, a four kilometer non stop.
Marie Vigouroux:And-
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, that's a lot.
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, realizations were made. Like,
Marie Vigouroux:first off is that I'm so slow that four kilometers is more
Marie Vigouroux:than 30 minutes for me. And I think running more than 30
Marie Vigouroux:minutes, I need to carry water with me, especially when it's
Marie Vigouroux:like 30 degrees Celsius.
Jeremy Greer:1000 degrees outside. Yeah.
Marie Vigouroux:And so I was like, no, no. Like, I need to
Marie Vigouroux:get, like, proper stuff to carry water with me. And so I did
Marie Vigouroux:that. And so hopefully by next week, when I try to run four
Marie Vigouroux:kilometers again, I'll have some water with me.
Jeremy Greer:You won't have to Uber back home after you getthat
Jeremy Greer:done. , after I recorded with you guys, I recorded with Chris,
Jeremy Greer:and I went in the living room, and Autumn was watching, I don't
Jeremy Greer:know if you know the show the doghouse. Do you know that show?
Marie Vigouroux:No, I don't.
Jeremy Greer:It started in the UK. It's basically, like, they
Jeremy Greer:put up. It's a reality show based on a, like, a dog rescue
Jeremy Greer:site. And so, like, the format of the show is like, three
Jeremy Greer:different families or couples or individuals come in and, like,
Jeremy Greer:they select a dog for them, and they meet the dog, and it does
Jeremy Greer:the dog work for them and all this other stuff. And it's
Jeremy Greer:adorable. And she found out there was a Australian version.
Jeremy Greer:There's four seasons of Australian version. So I was
Jeremy Greer:like, Well, let me get this for you. So she was watching that,
Jeremy Greer:and I get on the couch, and I'm like, drifting off, and she's
Jeremy Greer:like, Jeremy, it's the end of your chemo cycle. Just go take a
Jeremy Greer:nap. It's okay. Like it'sokay, I'm gonna go take a nap. That
Jeremy Greer:was, that was my Sunday, yeah.
Marie Vigouroux:That's wonderful. That show it's on,
Marie Vigouroux:you put it on Plex, is that -
Jeremy Greer:Yeah, there's a doghouse UK, doghouse Australia,
Jeremy Greer:and then there's a doghouse New Zealand, which we haven't tapped
Jeremy Greer:into yet, but all of all that stuff should automatically show
Jeremy Greer:up on Plex. All that stuff's in there.
Marie Vigouroux:I need to see this, because this is exactly
Marie Vigouroux:the kind of show that I love.
Jeremy Greer:It's, it's adorable. It's like, it will
Jeremy Greer:make you cry because, like, I don't know if this is a recent
Jeremy Greer:reality TV show thing, but I've noticed it more and more where,
Jeremy Greer:like, especially on, like, cooking shows and stuff,
Jeremy Greer:everybody has, like, their their sob story, kind of, it's almost
Jeremy Greer:like, especially, like, I was watching Top Chef, and it felt
Jeremy Greer:like it was the suffering Olympics, almost, where, like,
Jeremy Greer:everybody had a dead father, or, like, somebody who had cancer or
Jeremy Greer:whatever. But, like, the doghouse UK is definitely like
Jeremy Greer:that. They're like, oh, this person lost their husband of 70
Jeremy Greer:years and wants a companion. And I'm like, that kind of, it's
Jeremy Greer:just stuff that, like, melts your heart. Yeah, it's very
Jeremy Greer:cute. It's, it's adorable.
Marie Vigouroux:It's, it's adorable. Okay, wonderful. So
Marie Vigouroux:that's gonna be, like, my pre period, I need a cry show.
Jeremy Greer:I need to get all these emotions out.
Marie Vigouroux:I need to get all this crying out of my body.
Jeremy Greer:I think that's what it is she gets. She gets,
Jeremy Greer:she gets kind of stressed out with her job, and it's so hot
Jeremy Greer:that it's like, really difficult to ride horses on the weekend,
Jeremy Greer:which is her, like, main stress reliever. So like, she gets to
Jeremy Greer:the point where she's, like, she does a bunch of chores, and
Jeremy Greer:like, she's kind of just stressed out. And she's like, I
Jeremy Greer:just want to watch this and just just just bask in the glory
Jeremy Greer:of dogs. Like, I just need, I just need to see a bunch of
Jeremy Greer:dogs. And then sometimes the dogs, like, run away from them.
Jeremy Greer:And you're like, you're like, you know, Goldie, come back. Be
Jeremy Greer:nice. Yelling at the TV.
Marie Vigouroux:She's like, really rooting for the dogs,
Marie Vigouroux:right?
Jeremy Greer:Like, please go up, don't run away. Like, and
Jeremy Greer:then sometimes the people are like, you know, too aggressive.
Jeremy Greer:And we're like, just chill out. Just sit down. Why are you
Jeremy Greer:standing up, scaring the dog? Like, it's a whole process. When
Jeremy Greer:are the Olympics over? Is that this week it has to be right?
Marie Vigouroux:We were at the halfway mark yesterday.
Jeremy Greer:oh, wow. Okay, so there's a lot to get.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, there's still a lot to go. They just
Marie Vigouroux:started with diving today.
Jeremy Greer:Nice, nice.
Marie Vigouroux:Well, I mean, no, there's been diving before,
Marie Vigouroux:but, like, they, like, the individual competitions have
Marie Vigouroux:just started, and it's, I mean, diving from the 10 meter
Marie Vigouroux:platform to me, I don't like, I don't think that there is
Marie Vigouroux:anything apart from maybe the vault. Like, I don't think that
Marie Vigouroux:there's anything else that's scarier to me.
Jeremy Greer:You watch one person hit their head on a
Jeremy Greer:diving board on the way down. Like, then that's happened a
Jeremy Greer:couple of times, and you just like, to me, I'm like, Well, I
Jeremy Greer:will never dive again. You will never, you will never catch me
Jeremy Greer:in a body of water, sir. Yeah, diving is I like, I think we
Jeremy Greer:were talking about this other day. Like, all of this stuff is
Jeremy Greer:so frightening, like just anything the vault, like running
Jeremy Greer:full speed anywhere, this is terrifying to me, in general,
Jeremy Greer:that not Not to mention, like the flippity, floppity stuff
Jeremy Greer:that they do at the end of that process.
Marie Vigouroux:Yes, I think that you should definitely call
Marie Vigouroux:the Olympics and be like, I have an idea to rename the vault. The
Marie Vigouroux:flippity floppity flob.
Jeremy Greer:I'm sure, I'm sure, because they've got, like,
Jeremy Greer:Kevin Hart and that dude from SNL Keenan doing like,
Jeremy Greer:commentary and stuff like, they've got like, a TV show
Jeremy Greer:basically, where they cover that stuff. I'm sure they're, they're
Jeremy Greer:making all of those same jokes. I'm sure that they've got that
Jeremy Greer:under control. So they've got Kevin Hart. They don't need me,
Jeremy Greer:that's what I'm saying.
Marie Vigouroux:They do have Kevin Hart. That's true. That's
Marie Vigouroux:true. He's, he's, uh, I love, actually, I think it's a video
Marie Vigouroux:of him and Snoop Dogg, and they're watching. There you go.
Marie Vigouroux:There you go. They're watching- And Kevin Hart is just like
Marie Vigouroux:losing dog is just, like, amazed, and he's just.
Jeremy Greer:And the fast forward, like, eight years, and
Jeremy Greer:like, now we've got Snoop Dogg, like, dressed up in full
Jeremy Greer:dressage gear, going with Martha Stewart to the dressage stuff,
Jeremy Greer:like petting horses. He's got his own little Olympic medal.
Jeremy Greer:Like, it like, it's just, it's just so amazing. Like, that dude
Jeremy Greer:knows how to brand and knows how to market, like, you would not
Jeremy Greer:believe.
Marie Vigouroux:Yes, Oh, for sure. And, I mean, like, just in
Marie Vigouroux:terms of, like, having fun, right? Like, because, I don't
Marie Vigouroux:know, I feel like there's so much, not just today, but all
Marie Vigouroux:the time, about, like, oh, it's, it's cringe to really enjoy
Marie Vigouroux:something. Snoop Dogg does not care about that.
Jeremy Greer:If you look at that dude's life, like, why
Jeremy Greer:would he ever care what anybody thinks about him, right? Like,
Jeremy Greer:he, I mean, he is, he has come up in the hard times and just
Jeremy Greer:and made like, a name for himself. And it's just
Jeremy Greer:remarkable. Like, you know, I don't know. It's just, I just,
Jeremy Greer:I'm always very, very impressed when, when people get to a
Jeremy Greer:certain level and they're still cool, like, you look at people
Jeremy Greer:like, Tom Cruise, and you're like, You're a weirdo. Like, I
Jeremy Greer:just, I don't know, I don't know how, and I enjoy all of your
Jeremy Greer:movies, but you're kind of weird.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, Tom Cruise, creepy, Snoop Dogg,
Marie Vigouroux:cool.
Jeremy Greer:i did see, Cruise was at - I think it was the
Jeremy Greer:gymnastics thing. He was at one of the gymnastic events, and,
Jeremy Greer:like, really, really, like, getting into it and cheering it
Jeremy Greer:on. So maybe I don't, maybe I'm talking maybe I don't, maybe I'm
Jeremy Greer:talking out of my ass. Maybe I don't know anything.
Marie Vigouroux:I dunno, he's a Scientologist, Jeremy.
Jeremy Greer:I always forget that. I always forget that
Jeremy Greer:Scientology is a thing in Hollywood.
Marie Vigouroux:No, no, it's a thing. It's a real thing.
Jeremy Greer:What a weird cult.
Marie Vigouroux:Oh man, so weird. We launched officially.
Jeremy Greer:We did. I want to talk about this in the main
Jeremy Greer:episode, but, yeah, we were out there. We're it was, it's so
Jeremy Greer:much fun doing that, like having the YouTube premiere and having,
Jeremy Greer:like, a bunch of people, like, react to it is so much fun. It
Jeremy Greer:feels I get, I get nervous about it leading up to it, because I
Jeremy Greer:feel like it's a little extra, like, hey, it's just a podcast.
Jeremy Greer:You know what I'm saying, like, but at the same time, if I'm not
Jeremy Greer:going to put the energy into it, who is going to right? Like, if
Jeremy Greer:I'm, like, if I'm this excited that I want to do this stuff,
Jeremy Greer:then I should do it. Like, not like, you know, no cringe. 2024.
Jeremy Greer:Is what we're going for.
Marie Vigouroux:But there you go. Like, if Snoop Dogg can get,
Marie Vigouroux:like, dressed up to go to Olympic events, you can
Marie Vigouroux:definitely have, like, a YouTube premiere. You know what I mean?
Marie Vigouroux:Like, I feel like that's okay.
Jeremy Greer:Yes, yes. If that'll be that'll be our bar
Jeremy Greer:for the rest of the podcast. Snoop Dogg can do this, then
Jeremy Greer:Hannibal is allowed to do that.
Marie Vigouroux:I feel really uncomfortable with this
Marie Vigouroux:parallel, pretty sure that Snoop Dogg would like to be omitted
Marie Vigouroux:from this narrative.
Jeremy Greer:Snoop Dogg does not wish to be associated with
Jeremy Greer:with any cannibal, with any hannibals or cannibals.
Marie Vigouroux:No, exactly. There you go.
Jeremy Greer:Actually, I think he did a track with Hannibal
Jeremy Greer:Buress, the comedian slash rapper. So maybe, maybe, maybe
Jeremy Greer:he does associate with Hannibals just not cannibals.
Marie Vigouroux:There you go. There you go. I think that's
Marie Vigouroux:fine. I respect that. Oh goodness.
Jeremy Greer:Mike Eagle put Hannibal brass on a track, and
Jeremy Greer:he was just a comedian, and he wrapped and he didn't rap very
Jeremy Greer:well on the track, but then he has become like a rapper, like,
Jeremy Greer:kind of over the years, like he's gotten better and better at
Jeremy Greer:it. So he does, like a, kind of a mixed routine, but the first
Jeremy Greer:track that I ever heard him on, he starts talking about LeBron
Jeremy Greer:James and taking HDH, he says his hairline is like, your
Jeremy Greer:hairline is going to fade away if you keep taking the HDH, I
Jeremy Greer:just now, every time I look at LeBron James, I'm like, where's
Jeremy Greer:your hairline? Where'd it go?
Jeremy Greer:Oh, no.
Jeremy Greer:It's like, it's like, Jared pedal, like his hairline, like
Jeremy Greer:it just disappeared. Like, where did it go?
Marie Vigouroux:It disappeared, and then it reappeared, and then
Marie Vigouroux:now it's disappearing again.
Jeremy Greer:Not to talk bad about some people's physical
Jeremy Greer:appearance that they can't really help, but I just always
Jeremy Greer:thought that HDH line was really, really funny.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, definitely did. I. Did I send
Marie Vigouroux:you? Did I tell you what my son said this weekend about
Marie Vigouroux:gymnastics?
Jeremy Greer:I think you did. But tell me. Tell me. Tell me
Jeremy Greer:again. Oh, yes, about Simone, right?
Marie Vigouroux:Yes, yes, exactly. So at the beginning of
Marie Vigouroux:the Olympics, like, I told him a little bit about Simone Biles
Marie Vigouroux:and, like, how she's the, like, the greatest gymnast of all
Marie Vigouroux:times, right? And he's like, Well, that's your opinion. And
Marie Vigouroux:I'm like, no, no, honey, that is not my opinion, that is fact.
Jeremy Greer:That's the world's opinion.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, the world's opinion. And so he saw
Marie Vigouroux:her, he heard, like, the commentators talking about her,
Marie Vigouroux:and he's like, Oh, you were right. She is the greatest
Marie Vigouroux:gymnast of all time. Like, yes, that's what I've been saying.
Marie Vigouroux:Because, like, you know, he's at that age where he's like, I
Marie Vigouroux:don't know if I entirely trust like you as my parent, because,
Marie Vigouroux:like, I've just found out that there are other opinions than
Marie Vigouroux:yours.
Jeremy Greer:probably starting to form some of his own right.
Jeremy Greer:So he's like, Well, I think this, no matter what mom says.
Marie Vigouroux:Exactly, there you go. So he, you know, keeps
Marie Vigouroux:reminding me that sometimes that these are my opinions, not
Marie Vigouroux:facts, anyway. And this weekend, we were watching the men's
Marie Vigouroux:gymnastics, and I was like, look at that. Look at how impressive
Marie Vigouroux:that is. And he looks up from his Nintendo Switch, and he
Marie Vigouroux:goes, you know, if, if Simone Biles was was in this, I would
Marie Vigouroux:watch it, but I'm just not interested.
Jeremy Greer:Wow, from a skeptic to a full on fan, just
Jeremy Greer:like that, right?
Marie Vigouroux:Exactly.
Jeremy Greer:That's so hilarious. Simone Biles needs to
Jeremy Greer:be in every event, though, I definitely agree. Like, I don't
Jeremy Greer:care, she could probably ride a horse. Like, you know what I'm
Jeremy Greer:saying? Like, she could probably.
Marie Vigouroux:I'm sure she could. She is tiny, though.
Marie Vigouroux:Like, she's really, really small. So, like, I mean, I guess
Marie Vigouroux:that could be arranged, like, with the saddle and stuff.
Jeremy Greer:Oh yeah. Like, in horse racing, the smaller the
Jeremy Greer:person the better, right? So, like, all jockeys, in fact,
Jeremy Greer:there was a reality show about jockeys on the Discovery Channel
Jeremy Greer:years and years ago. And weirdly enough, like a lot of jockeys
Jeremy Greer:are from South Louisiana, so it was like people that Autumn knew
Jeremy Greer:on it, which was weird, or knew about, let me rephrase that,
Jeremy Greer:knew about, and like, they do a lot of like, horrible things to
Jeremy Greer:their bodies to make sure they stay under a certain weight and,
Jeremy Greer:like, certain height and things like that, to make sure.
Jeremy Greer:Because, like, you know, the the more, the less you weigh, like,
Jeremy Greer:the faster the horse will run, right? Like, so, like, everybody
Jeremy Greer:has, like, they weigh themselves at the beginning of every race,
Jeremy Greer:and like, if they go up a couple of pounds, like, maybe they're
Jeremy Greer:the person that owns the horse doesn't want them to ride the
Jeremy Greer:horse anymore, so they're not gonna be paid. And all this
Jeremy Greer:other stuff. Like, it's, it can be pretty vicious, like it's, it
Jeremy Greer:seemed like it was not a very fun gig at all.
Marie Vigouroux:No, I can imagine. I mean, I don't know, I
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah. I mean horse racing in general, I think has a bad rap
Marie Vigouroux:sometimes.
Jeremy Greer:Oh yeah, it's borderline abusive to the
Jeremy Greer:horses. In some cases, like, outright abusive, yeah and yeah,
Jeremy Greer:it's and, like, at the same time, I love it. I mean, me and
Jeremy Greer:Autumn, watch it. We used to do a point every year for the
Jeremy Greer:Kentucky Derby and get dressed up and do all that stuff. But at
Jeremy Greer:the same time, like, definitely knowledge, like, Oh yeah, you
Jeremy Greer:shouldn't be treating your horses like that, especially the
Jeremy Greer:lower end you get. There was a, in fact, right, like, down the
Jeremy Greer:road and, like, down a side street for me was, I was reading
Jeremy Greer:the news one day, and it was like, Oh, we picked up. We, you
Jeremy Greer:know, these people were arrested for animal abuse. And I was
Jeremy Greer:like, Well, I want to know more about those details. So I
Jeremy Greer:clicked on the story, and it was literally, like a neighbor who
Jeremy Greer:had been and I guess they, like, repossessed all of his horses
Jeremy Greer:and put them into different clinics or whatever. And, yeah,
Jeremy Greer:it was just really, really weird. So it can be bad, it can
Jeremy Greer:be definitely bad. In the higher end, you go like, the better the
Jeremy Greer:horses are treated. But it's still like, this horse is made
Jeremy Greer:to run. That's what we want it to do.
Marie Vigouroux:And this kind of touches on, like, some things
Marie Vigouroux:that we're going to talk about during the episode, which is how
Marie Vigouroux:to make foie gras.
Jeremy Greer:It's that's an interesting thing. You want to
Jeremy Greer:get into it? You want to jump in?
Marie Vigouroux:Oh, yeah, I'm ready. I'm like, so ready. I'm
Marie Vigouroux:like, I have lived 100 lifetimes already.
Jeremy Greer:Autumn was just like, I need you to record so we
Jeremy Greer:can watch the next one. And now we've done, I don't know when
Jeremy Greer:this will come out, so I'll just drop a marker in case I need to
Jeremy Greer:beep it. But now we, Chris and I have started, and so we watched
Jeremy Greer:the first episode of that, and then recorded, and then we
Jeremy Greer:watched the second episode. And she was like, I'm really tired
Jeremy Greer:of this thing where you start me watching shows and I can't binge
Jeremy Greer:them. She goes, if you weren't, if we weren't watch, if you
Jeremy Greer:weren't podcasting about it. We would be finished with Hannibal
Jeremy Greer:and like, on season two of already, like, we would be
Jeremy Greer:binging these. And I'm like, I'm sorry, we have to go to a
Jeremy Greer:certain pace. I can only go so fast.
Marie Vigouroux:Poor autumn. We're like, messing up her
Marie Vigouroux:watching schedule.
Jeremy Greer:Her binge watching schedule.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, I know. And I understand that. I
Marie Vigouroux:understand that deeply.
Jeremy Greer:Judy, the my video editing person, has already
Jeremy Greer:finished season one. She just ran through and she's like, I
Jeremy Greer:can't, I'm not gonna wait for the podcast.
Marie Vigouroux:I mean, I get it honestly, like, if I wasn't
Marie Vigouroux:podcasting, I'd be done.
Jeremy Greer:You'd be on your, like, second or third watch.
Marie Vigouroux:I know, there you go. I'd be, like, looking
Marie Vigouroux:for themes now, like overarching themes.
Jeremy Greer:Finding other Hannibal podcasts.
Marie Vigouroux:Probably, yeah, I saw I sent you like, two links
Marie Vigouroux:to two other podcasts, like Hannibal podcasts from Twitter,
Marie Vigouroux:yeah. But it sort of seems like they both died out. One of them,
Marie Vigouroux:I think their last tweet was in 2022.
Jeremy Greer:When I looked on Apple podcasts before we started
Jeremy Greer:this, I was really surprised there wasn't more of a podcast
Jeremy Greer:presence. And I guess maybe it's because, like, this show is
Jeremy Greer:relatively short and the show is over, and so there's like, not,
Jeremy Greer:there's not, like, a lot to keep podcasts active. Like, you know,
Jeremy Greer:your podcast is going to be going on for a decade, like,
Jeremy Greer:right? Like, Carrying wayward is going to be going on for like,
Jeremy Greer:two decades or something. And Monster of the week was, it was
Jeremy Greer:around for a long time, like, and so just, I don't know, like,
Jeremy Greer:I guess at a certain point you're just like, why am I
Jeremy Greer:updating this Twitter? Like, we've done this.
Marie Vigouroux:That's very true. So I don't know. I don't
Marie Vigouroux:know if they continued or if they finished. Actually, maybe
Marie Vigouroux:that's something to look into.
Jeremy Greer:So many podcasts start and then just peter out.
Jeremy Greer:Like, people just don't realize the the amount of effort it goes
Jeremy Greer:into, exactly. Oh, wow. Me and my friends are funny. We can
Jeremy Greer:record it and put it on the internet, and then then your
Jeremy Greer:friends stop hanging out with you, and you're like, oh well,
Jeremy Greer:we have a, we have a podcast due. And they're like, Yeah, we
Jeremy Greer:don't want to do that. We just want to hang out.
Marie Vigouroux:It's like, yes, that is exactly what happened.
Marie Vigouroux:Yeah, that's what happened, fortunately or unfortunately.
Jeremy Greer:Autumn and I with the Interview with the Vampire
Jeremy Greer:podcast, we would like realize, like, oh, we have more fun just
Jeremy Greer:hanging out than, like, doing a podcast together. This is work.
Jeremy Greer:We could just hang out. Like, let's have a cocktail and watch
Jeremy Greer:Interview with the Vampire. Like, what are we doing?
Marie Vigouroux:eriously? Oh, my God, I completely agree.
Marie Vigouroux:Completely agree. But this is fun, though. I'm having a lot of
Marie Vigouroux:fun podcasting about this.
Jeremy Greer:Absolutely the same, absolutely the same. Yes,
Jeremy Greer:I love getting into Hannibal like it's so much fun.
Marie Vigouroux:Okay, hold on. Let me just turn on focus for an
Marie Vigouroux:hour. Okay, good that I don't get notifications. Okay, I'm
Marie Vigouroux:ready when You are
Jeremy Greer:Let's hit it.
