This just in: Yoko genuinely believes that John had a vision about a man on a flaming pie who told him the name of the Beatles.
“[John] wrote a piece called ‘On The Dubious Origins Of Beatles’, and the basic line that we all laughed at was something like “I had a vision and a man came unto me on a flaming pie and said ‘You shall be Beatles with an ‘a’, and so it was.” We took this to be Goon humour and a sort of Biblical joking – “and God said unto thee ‘come forth’, and he came fifth”. That’s very much the humour that was going around Liverpool at the time.
Now, it turned out that we couldn’t have this in the Anthology because Yoko believes that John did have a vision. I’m very friendly with Yoko now so I don’t want this to look like a snide thing, but it genuinely intrigues me that she thinks this. And the way I tried to put it to her was, you can say, “I had a vision” and people will go “OK”. You could say, “A man came unto me”. “OK, it’s starting to sound a little biblical, but it’s all right, still.” “On a flaming…”. “Yes, this is OK, it’s even more biblical”. Now, if you’d have gone to the word “chariot”, we would be all right. Or if you’d gone to the word “phoenix” we would be all right. But the word “pie” is a dead giveaway. “A man came to me on a flaming pie?” I know, in my mind, that John didn’t have a vision about this, but the way Yoko puts it is, “If it’s OK for Paul to dream ‘Yesterday’ then it’s OK for John to have a vision.” So these are the kind of things that cropped up. It’s only a difference of opinion so it doesn’t matter vastly. We’ve tried to make our point, she’s made her point and we’ve arrived somewhere in the middle.”
— Paul McCartney, Club Sandwich Interview, November 1st, 1995

the thing about when people say “oh, eddie was just comforting chrissy because he’s such a good guy” or even “his first response to seeing a girl in distress was to make her feel better hes so scrunkly!” is like.... that’s just not what happened there. eddie’s first response to chrissy’s visible distress was to be defensive and haughty. he thought she was scared of him, and it hurt his feewings, so he was brusque and then tried to bail completely. he had a very “sorry to be an imposition >:(” energy.
it wasn’t until chrissy reassured him that he wasn’t the problem, and beyond that, asked him to stay, that eddie relaxed. i love eddie a lot, but it was chrissy who was instinctually kind and empathetic here. she was the one who put her trust in a relative stranger, one most of her peers mock and judge and even fear. maybe he was her only option to get drugs, but she chose to open up to him and be vulnerable. he just reciprocated.

10-1 says when we finally reach Mac and Dennis Break Up episode on the pod (you know, in like 10 months), Rob will be coming in hot, and go on a fucking 'Rob Justice' rant that takes up like 45 minutes of the pod, and the last 5 or so minutes they spend talking about Danny's hilarious performance of "OOHHH!!! BOTCHED TOE!" & "I need some trash to plug up the cut!" or like Charlie’s little dance at Dee’s apartment and his cheeto fingerprints on the walls. Possibly the 'can't eat cat food because he’s not a cat' blooper. (Shit, while writing this, I'm remembering just how good that episode is, and how easy it would be for them to run out the clock, talking about anything but the elephant in the room).
Like, I don't know; I just genuinely can't see RCG openly acknowledging Macdennis seriously on the pod (despite how gay the episode's commentary was... like talk about boxes full of Macdennis). I'm not saying they don't see it, but I don’t think they want to talk about it, because once they do, it will kind of force them to officially take a side on it, and I think they want to avoid the inevitable backlash, either way (plus they like leading us on).
I'm not sure if I'm afraid of this or if it's what I'm hoping for. Like, I think if they talk about it, it means they've permanently decided to take it off the table. Hearing them say 'Macdennis' aloud feels like a really bad jinx.
What about Season 16's air date; does that matter; like have they planned a special pod for once that airs? Rob's tease about Mac needing a boyfriend has to mean something macden, doesn't it? Are they possibly planning to push that pod back because they can't won't acknowledge it yet? Will we be getting supplementary call-in, themed, or special guest pods in the near future to further prolong the pod's season 5 coverage (a.k.a. one of, if not, the gayest season of Sunny).
(That last paragraph felt like a close-out for a soap opera). 📣Stay tuned for the scrambled ramblings of a donkey-brained nutjob that rants and raves about nothing but her obsession with the worst fictional gay couple you know! Will the middle-aged dipshits ever kiss? Who knows?
I fucking doubt it.................. unless 🥺?
