Yeah. >> Um, and [snorts] this I don't actually know the name of this one. But, I did confirm, obviously, cuz the last episode have fell short for Rick. >> Yeah. >> I think you liked the first episode of the season, though, right? You liked the first episode. >> Yeah, I thought the first episode was fine. The second episode I didn't like. Third episode >> liked the first one because then you made the comment as I you said how consistent the show has been. >> Yeah. >> And then you jinxed it for yourself. >> [laughter] >> For yourself. >> But I didn't say that many times before. >> Cuz you asked as have other people felt the same and uh I found like one, maybe two other people that felt that way. The predominance have felt that it's stayed consistent. They they said that it's just gone back to the first season of being more focused on the Panchayat, which is a local politics office. So, the local politics of the village. >> Okay. >> Uh >> Well, >> Chelsea. >> Yeah, I just uh I guess I I to say adjust your expectations or this. >> like see what it is now and then just continue. >> I don't know. I don't want you to hate the the last season. >> Part of my part of my perspective is probably shaped by the fact that I'm rewatching Panchayat with Indrani. >> Mhm, yeah. >> And so I'm back in the first few seasons. >> Yeah, yeah. So good. >> And one of the things just in this last episode that I watched with her and there's the the consistency. We are in season three. >> Ooh, catching up. >> We're in the We we just started. I think we just started season three. >> Okay. >> Uh but the heart of the show has always been for me the combination of it being the little show about big things, which is the political stuff. >> Yeah. >> And the relationships. And how it would focus on the political stuff predominantly as the story lines and then they would always add and come back to the guys sitting around the fire talking and laughing, something about them relationally, maybe a little bit about Rinki and Abhishek, and it's this part that's gone now in the past couple of episodes. It feels like we've just focused on the political stuff and I'm not The guys aren't having beer together. They're the I'm not sensing anything on the personal side of it. >> The last one I felt was the the usual because I did feel like I felt in the last episode. I could see why you would have thought that in the the one with the the the the toilet. >> Yeah, the toilet episode. >> Because there was a big fight scene in it. >> And that's a perfect analogy. It was the toilet [laughter] episode. >> It's like we have the fly episode and now we have the toilet episode. But yeah. I'm not writing the series off, guys. >> I hope it changes for you. >> Not every series has banging episodes with everything. Am I right, Game of Thrones fan? >> [laughter] >> You do. >> I feel like the middle guy is about to turn on these guys at some point. What? >> [laughter] >> Looks like your sex tape. >> [clears throat] >> Have you never seen him in anything else? >> I don't think so. I don't think so. >> I have such respect for him as an actor in this role that he does. >> Yep. >> He's like Pankaj. [music] He brings the weight he brings to that role just by doing nothing. >> What? Seriously? You want to really just poke the bear? >> [laughter] >> Just make an announcement in the village over the speaker thing. Anybody here know how to ride a horse? Then those those will Tell them. The ones that are always running to >> Yeah, but I don't think they care. >> They [clears throat] They weren't even talking about the MLA. >> [laughter] >> What kind of horse? A normal horse? It's you in the beginning of the channel. Yep. >> [laughter] >> Yep. That's me and that's Isis. Hope they only did one take on that. Can't leave that in too long. That's that guy. It's a raid? Same LA. Clearly. They want to know how they got the money for the property. We've mentioned this over and over again, but clearly you don't have to say, "Show me the warrant." You know what scares me the most [music] about something like this happening? Like a cop searching your car or anything like that, them [clears throat] planting evidence. That's the thing that scares me the most about that. That's the main reason I would say, "Show me the warrant. You don't get to do it." >> [music] >> So, I see he's going to paint the picture that they're corrupt. >> Even though they don't find any >> Even Right, they won't find anything, but how else could they have paid for the land for >> [laughter] >> He might have something there. What's in your house, bro? The jewels from the Louvre? >> Chill out, Wait till I get the cash out of my pocket. You don't have to hit it up though. I'm not falling for your drama again, Ali. It's all your fault. I'm not going to jail again. Going to my dad's house. I'm going to set up the digital camera board. Ludo, Ludo, yeah. Everyone's guilty until proven innocent, am I right? That's a rickety uh Yeah. >> Oh my god. >> Looks like it's going to snap in half. It is bamboo, which can bend, but very hard to break. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> IT'S KIND OF RIDICULOUS THAT IT'S NOT BLACK MONEY, BUT they're going to make it seem like black money. Exactly. Yeah, but this is again a little show about big things. This is what happens in politics. >> [clears throat] >> Oh no, this poor ladder. Did he break his leg? He may have. Yeah. >> I don't >> That's true. >> You don't have a female constable. >> Indians love saying drop attention. >> [laughter] >> Don't worry it's drop attention. >> How many is it? >> You used to have like one of these officers that has that >> Apparently very common. You've seen it a billion times. All the time it's a stereotype. >> Yeah, so that they can't even talk cuz of their spit. >> [music] >> That's the other thing. >> Just I can't leave my house? I can't leave my house without your permission and you you don't have a warrant? >> What happened to your foot? >> Right on. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> He's ready or he's ready. >> It's period stuff. >> Oh, she's pregnant. >> Yeah, yeah, she's pregnant. They can't really do that. >> Oh, girl, come on sister. Oy vey. vey. >> Got a heck of it on there, Ricky. >> Seriously. >> Cuz it's got to get up and it's got over the top roof area. This is not going to work out well. This is not going to work out well at all. Shocking. >> I feel like the officer is right there. Now, it looks like you were hiding stuff. >> Exactly. I mean, they would have framed it on you anyway. Because you blackmail him, yeah. You're unattended. Get out and run. Exactly. Go. Go. Go. You need Tuffy to grab the money. Tuffy. >> Tuffy. >> [music] >> It's so nasty. >> Everybody's got a boss. >> It's toughy. Toughy to >> Was that the same guy um the one that slapped the the guy? Was that that same guy that talked to the MLA? He's like, "This is a chess game." Is that that same guy or is that a different guy? >> I don't remember. >> Remember when he was about to shoot them all? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> And the guy was like, "This is a chess game, not checkers." or something like that. >> it is. I I couldn't tell. >> But also >> it is. Why did he come? >> Right. >> Cuz it didn't look like they knew what was going on unless Prahanji He didn't say anything. >> He didn't say anything. >> So I don't but >> I yeah, I have no idea. Um >> Obviously we'll probably figure out but how how did the episode fare to you? Did it >> So >> a little more on track? >> This felt This felt more on track. >> Okay. >> Yeah, this this episode felt like normal Panchayat for me. >> Um >> Yeah. 100% >> a bunch of laughs every little bit along the way. >> it had it had both. It had it had the little show about big things aspect of you know, corruption and what can be done to you and make you you know, be made to look like you've done something wrong when you haven't in the midst of an election. >> Yeah. >> But it also I I sensed the camaraderie and the the the friendships and the relationships percolating underneath all of it. >> Um This is so so um >> Interesting his name is Pankaj. >> Oh, we've seen him in Black >> Black Friday and Gulaal. >> So >> Anurag likes him. >> Yeah. >> Why wouldn't you? And Johnny agrees. We've been watching him and it's it's getting in the wheelhouse of of what we're watching where he's really beginning to get involved now. He just the pigeon just died. >> Oh, no. >> And uh she she agrees. His capacity as an actor is really wonderful. The thing that Indrani brought up >> He's He's in Mimi. >> and Mimi. The thing uh Indrani brought up was uh and we're in that midst of that where the pigeon just died. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> And they keep coming back to his place and she said, "The one thing I'm not believing is an MLA would give a rat's ass about a little tiny town like this when he's if it would be different It's like why he's giving them a this amount of attention for such a tiny little place uh would only make sense if there was money involved that he was going to be making money off of it. Other than that, she's having a hard time believing that an MLA would give a rat's ass about a little village. >> Well, I think the only reason he really does is because they keep coming to him. I think that's the only and and then they offended him and now it's personal. >> I pointed out to her, I see what you're saying. I think it's way more than that. I think this guy's ego is so huge that he cannot stand the fact that even one tiny little place would be out of line with him. There's a current leader of a nation who does that to people he doesn't like. >> I don't know who you're referring to. >> Who, if he doesn't like them, he will do everything in his power and take all of his attention to rant and rave and you're like, why are you what? >> Kim Jong-un. >> Yeah. >> I know who you're talking about. >> so, yeah. And then when I said that, she said, "Oh, I could see that. I could I could see that." >> it's predominantly because one, it started out cuz obviously Pradhanji and then that other gentleman that always is in in a pose opposition to him. They always come to him asking him for assistance or help. Obviously. >> And he did say at the beginning, "What do I care?" >> Yeah. >> Right. >> It's probably started out a few votes, a tiny bit of votes, and he was just trying to gain favor. >> Correct. >> Um but then they pissed him off. >> That's the thing. Yeah, that she hasn't gotten there yet. When they get to the horse, you realize, okay, yeah, that that really went He's not joking around now. >> What equivalent is a is a MLA? Is it an equivalent of a mayor? Is it equivalent of a governor? >> I don't know. I'd be guessing. My suspicion is so you've got the little township and the panchayat office and and Pradhanji >> would be like a local congressman. >> Or it would be like a yeah, would be a a a representative. >> Yeah. >> And I think >> Correct. Like a Brad Sherman. >> Yeah. And I think Well, no, cuz that's that's that doesn't I think it'd be more like that's a mayor. Because a Brad Sherman has more power than the mayor of Los Angeles in the sense that Brad Sherman's a member of Congress. >> Yeah. >> He has >> [laughter] >> You know what I mean? Brad Sherman goes straight to Congress. >> Well, Brad Sherman would have more national power. >> Right. >> But not more local power. >> No, correct. He would only have power in his area and that would be limited to what the mayor allows from the city office. >> They all confuse me the way they're So I don't know like what the equivalent of the What is the equivalent of Panchayat or the what's-her-face and then what's what's the equivalent of the MLA? >> Why does the power so often stop at him? Because if you don't like what the MLA is doing, they have once once before >> The lady. >> they've gone to his boss, the lady. And so I don't know why when things happen with the MLA that the panchayat office isn't like they don't more often than not And maybe because they're going to get kicked back. It's going to say, "Don't come to me with that crap. You go to the MLA." >> Yeah. >> Which is probable. >> that I think they did though. >> Yeah, and that's that's probable. It's like we we can't we can't go to her unless it's literally something like a crime is being committed. >> Yeah. >> We can't just go to him because we don't like him. >> Yeah. >> That's what I essentially think it is. >> Yeah, but this felt this felt very much more back in in the lane. >> Yeah. >> Uh is this the the cop? No. >> No, that's the buddy the who hurt his ankle. That's the cop. Little Kesh Patel was in White Tiger. Maybe that's where we've seen him. Was in White Tiger. Jat? Did we see Jat? >> No. >> Rocky Earpani? >> Credit >> Oh, credit only. >> I don't know what that means. Um He looked familiar. That's what his face was. >> It's so funny the stereotype of the >> Yeah. Oh, railway man. >> Yeah, he has a familiar face. He has a familiar face, so I'm sure we've seen him in a bunch of stuff. We just wouldn't name place him. >> TV shows. >> For sure. Yeah. >> Um I'm digging it. I would love to uh I'm guessing it's quite common for that style of character cuz I mean in a lot of the ladies. >> Yeah. >> Come. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Of course you do. >> And it just is still >> disgusting way to consume tobacco. >> For for for us who have lived all of our lives in the United States, it's very different and strange to see certain aspects of life that for us just you wouldn't it wouldn't happen. Nobody can We we say it all the time, so if it happens ad nauseam for you guys, sorry, but it it's for us to see police officers just show up and because they're police officers say we're coming to do a raid and you have to let them, that's just completely foreign to anything that happens >> Granted. >> here. >> Just being a small village, they might not know their rights. >> That's true. Maybe they do have rights they don't know about and they take advantage of it. That's absolutely true. >> know cuz obviously local you're they're not going to know as many um policies and >> I don't I don't think that's a law. I think the search and seizure aspect of things in India I think the cops can, just like cops can beat the crap out of you if they think you're a suspect. You cannot do that here, but it happens everywhere in India. >> Wow. I don't think it's illegal for cops to do that. I think they do it. Um but I would seen it done like in thing and um shows like once you start getting like in court, if they see that you beat them, you get in trouble >> Right. >> you're not allowed to do that. I think they do it, but [snorts] I don't think it's something that's legal. >> I believe. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's make sense. That would make sense. >> know if I'm correct. >> Well, in the same way that bribes are not legal. >> Yeah. >> But they happen all the time there. >> Yeah. >> That's one of the things that's really shocking. It was shocking to Indrani um when she she found out you know bribes just don't happen here. Like she she told me and it happened when we were going through the process >> cop level. >> No, when we were going through the process of her getting all that she needed put together for her to come. >> Mhm. >> One of the things she needed to do was have the local police sign off on her background check and some other things before she went to the embassy for her appointment. And she's she said, "I promise you. I promise you the police officer coming is going to ask for something. It's going to ask for some money." And he did. >> That's a wild >> Yep. She said it's it's you cannot escape it. It's She said he wouldn't have given me my stuff and there's nothing I could have done about it cuz I can't prove it. And the courts would have would have said, "Unless you have proof." And him [snorts] just saying, "Yeah, I I'll get this expedited for you. Well, you know, if you can if you think it's special." >> That's wild. >> Yep. >> That's wild. >> Well, remember that happened with the ticket in Delhi. >> Yeah. I remember that. >> Yep. Wild wild stuff. >> Anyways, uh another good episode. Uh let us know what you thought about this episode. Um anything we missed and anything else we need to know down below. All right. >> [music]
