    ‘tis the damn season (Season 8 Episodes 7-8)

    Chris has been stayin’ at Eddie’s parent’s house, and the Texan real estate looks real good now? Welcome back to December, where there’s not a lot going on right now, but somehow our faves are still going thru it™! This week, Han, Cil, and Rachel dive deep into the layered complexities of Buck and Eddie’s friendship, exploring the weight of abandonment issues, running in the opposite direction of self-acceptance, and the echo of unrealized feelings in the Diaz Kitchen. We sift through a plethora of parallels, analyze the significance of baking, the familial symbolism of chess, and how a simple knock on the door can mean so much more. The Buddies talk Hotshots meta narrative, how we wish it had been taken further, and theories for a possible Buck abduction (a-Bucktion if you will) and dual near-death experiences. There isn’t a lot of movement in character arcs, but the future implications of Buck unknowingly pulling the pin of the El Paso grenade are explosively far-reaching. We critique Eddie’s umpteenth unilateral decision and how it leaves Buck feeling like the rug just got pulled out from under The Couch and Christopher most-likely blindsided, yet again. Eddie receives advice from “Hotshots” tv actor Brad Torrence regarding their identities as fathers and presence in their children’s lives, and as usual puts his keen and penetrating mind to the task and comes to the WRONG conclusion. He can run, but only so far. Buck’s brave-faced and unwavering support seemingly buoys Eddie from his anxiety, but Buck’s stomach (and potentially his heart) drop as soon as his ass hits The Couch. We consider the lifelong abandonment issues that will send Buck into his deepest spiral yet, as he grapples with the complex feelings of having to watch the one person he thought would always be there leave him too. Eddie won’t ask Buck to wait if Buck won’t ask him to stay. Grab your emotional support snickerdoodles as we discuss Season 8 Episode 8, “Wannabes!” (and Episode 7 “Hotshots” is also there.) 📔 Articles Mentioned: 📰 9-1-1 EP Breaks Down Fall Finale Surprises: Is [Spoiler] Really Leaving the 118?, TV Line 📰 Eddie Jumping into Relationships, @ ircnshield, Twitter 📰 Buddie Paralleling Bathena, Canon Couples, @ ircnshield, Twitter 📰 Visual Parallels Buck & Eddie at The Couch/Coffee Table, @ ergoquerncia, Twitter 📰 Warm vs Cool Tones at Diaz House Color Theory, @ eddiedivaz, Twitter 📰 Is [Spoiler] Leaving ‘9-1-1’?

    A Very 9-1-1 Swiftsgiving

    Dear Reader (Listener), ‘tis the damn season for our first-ever holiday special!  We bet you think about how Taylor Swift's discography perfectly aligns with the emotional tapestry of your favorite 9-1-1 characters. If you’re a cowboy like us, you’ve surely made the Swiftification connection between Taylor and Tim Minear’s masterminds. In this episode, Han Cil, and Rachel embark on a whimsical journey to assign 11 iconic Taylor albums to our favorite first responders based on vibes, character stories, and a sprinkle of pure chaos. From Buck’s emotional turmoil to Maddie’s endless resilience, we see right through to the essence of each character and how their experiences mirror the themes Taylor's music so brilliantly captures. From the youthful innocence of 'Debut' to the esoteric crashout of 'The Tortured Poets Department,' we relish in this intersection of fandom where the worlds of Taylor Swift and 9-1-1 collide in a celebration of storytelling through music. We even throw in some podcast lore and our own Taylor/9-1-1 theories, because who doesn’t love a good Swiftie conspiracy? There’s no bad blood this Thanksgiving in the Buddie System’s Lover House, so whether you’re a die-hard Swiftie or a 9-1-1 aficionado (but probably both — the Venn Diagram is a circle), there’s room for everyone at this table! So, hop in our getaway car and enjoy the many musings, debates, and personal anecdotes on our road trip to the next chapters of 9-1-1 and Taylor’s musical journey. This episode is dedicated to anyone who relates to “I Hate It Here” a little too much and anyone who has ever found solace in music and felt a deep connection to fictional characters (they’re real to us.) P.S. Thank you for listening to our passionate yapping, we do it for fun, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as much without you!

    Pink Pony Club (Season 8 Episodes 4-6)

    We heard there’s a special place where boys and girls can drink their juice every single day. This week Han, Cil, and Rachel confess our headcanons, speculations, and educated wishes about Season 8 of 9-1-1, focusing on episodes 8x04 “No Place Like Home,” 8x05 “Masks,” and 8x06 “Confessions.” Buck-le up for a full hour of Buck, Eddie, and Buddie, respectively! (No, that’s not a typo.) Peeling back the layers of Eddie’s queer-coded arc, as far back as Season 7, all the way to his meet cute with Father Brian (aka Hot Priest™), we revel in Eddie starting to unmask and finally let himself experience joy. Meanwhile, Buck is spiraling out and makes an impulsive decision that ends with him single on Eddie’s couch. The Buddies discuss what the future holds for our namesake when Eddie is breaking free, but Buck realizes he’s still very much on the hamster wheel in a cage. The rest of the extended fire fam are also here, and we touch on how their arcs are developing their characters and relationships moving toward mid-season. We explore how “being there for the big moments” is integral as Bathena, Madney, and Henren all start new chapters with their families. We break down the themes across these three episodes as well as the abundant parallels and rich symbolism paving the yellow brick road to Buddie Canon over the rainbow. So grab a beer, take off your pants, and join us on the theoretical couch for some risky business! 📔 Articles Mentioned: 📰 Another Mask, @ ircnshield, Twitter 📰 Parallels of Eddie Opening Up the Door to Kim / Buck, @ lover-of-mine, Tumblr 📰 Past Mid-Season Finale Cliffhangers, @ meowddiehan, Twitter 📰 How Chris’ Leaving Affected Buck, @ ircnshield, Twitter Chapters: (00:00:00) Welcome to the Tortured Buddie Department (00:03:00) Overall thoughts on Episodes 4, 5, and 6 (00:11:43) Episode and Season Themes (00:18:57) 9-1-1 Behind-the-Scenes (00:25:33) Bobby and Athena (00:41:44) Hen and Karen (00:55:16) Maddie and Chimney (01:07:51) Buck (02:16:13) Eddie (03:17:39) Buddie (03:43:28) Predictions & Wishes & Theories, Oh My!

    This Girl is On Fire (2x09: Hen Begins)

    Oh, Henrietta Wilson, the woman that you are. We definitely see you! This week Han, Cil, and Rachel flock together to discuss Hen's journey from a corporate job to the firefighting world and how that symbolizes a quest for purpose and authenticity. We unpack the toxic dynamics at the 118 under Captain Gerrard, where hazing and discrimination run rampant, contrasting it with the supportive, family-like atmosphere that Bobby brings to the team.  Hen's character embodies the struggles faced by women, particularly queer women of color as they navigate their careers in fields rife with systemic bias and prejudice. The beginning of Hen's relationships with Chimney and Athena provides crucial support as she faces the challenges of her new role.  This episode serves as a deeply impactful hero’s origin story for Hen, due in no small part to Aisha Hinds’ real life past experiences with trauma and loss. Showcasing her unwavering commitment to saving lives against the odds, Season 2 Episode 9 of 9-1-1, “Hen Begins” is a testament to tenacity, following your calling, and the power of self-assuredness. 📔 Articles Mentioned: 📰 ‘9-1-1’ Star Aisha Hinds Talks Exploring Henrietta’s Origin Story in ‘Hen Begins’, TV Insider Chapters: (00:00:00) Welcome to Dispatch & Calls of the Week (Intro) (00:02:26) Exploring Origins: Hen's Journey (00:11:46) Jaws of Life (Deep Dive) (00:23:53) Flashover (Themes) (00:34:59) Who’s Cookin’ (Character Arc: It’s the Hen-isode!)

    If You Live Like That You Live With Ghosts (2x07: Haunted)

    In the wise words of Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick Lamar, “You forgive, you forget, but you never let it… go!” This week, Han, Cil, and Rachel investigate the eerie emotional landscape of Season 2, Episode 7 of 9-1-1, “Haunted,” where the specters of past relationships loom large. We dissect the complexities of Eddie's and Buck's situations, illustrating how both men grapple with their ghosts — Eddie with the return of his estranged wife, Shannon, and Buck with the emotional fallout of his relationship with Abby. Both men are faced with the choice to lay their past to rest or resurrect it, much like how Hen finds herself responsible for the life or death of her own perfect stranger of a father. As we unpack the significance of closure and the desire for transparency within familial and romantic relationships, this episode is an exploration of empathy, accountability, and the courage it takes to confront one's past. Ultimately, “Haunted” serves as a reminder that while our ghosts may linger, it is our choices that define our present and shape our future. 📔 Articles Mentioned: 📰 9-1-1: Ryan Guzman Previews Eddie’s Tense Reunion With His Estranged Wife, TV Line 📰 9-1-1's Jennifer Love Hewitt asked for Maddie 'to be with Chimney' on very first day on set, Entertainment Weekly 📰 Color Theory Threads, @ soleilose, Twitter Buck and Eddie and the Color Theory (A Deeper Dive)Buck is Red, Eddie’s Blue and Christopher is Yellow – A Short Thread 📖 ice cream before dinner by cloudydaisies, Archive of Our Own 📖 one bright morning changes all things by hispolestar, Archive of Our Own Follow us on social media for updates and more from your Buddies!
