Sons of Anarchy 7x13 Series Finale Reaction | “Papa’s Goods” | We Weren’t Ready to Say Goodbye
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video provides an emotional reaction to the *Sons of Anarchy* series finale, "Papa's Goods," where hosts express deep gratitude for viewer support and reflect on the show's profound thematic closure. The narrative reaches its climax as Jax Teller confesses to killing his mother, Gemma, who had murdered Tara in a fit of rage, while also revealing that Juice Ortiz killed Eli Roosevelt to protect her. In a decisive move to clear his club's name and end the violence plaguing Oakland and Stockton, Jax turns himself in, exposing the truth about the Chinese mob hit. This act of redemption leads the club to vote for Tod Darius's full membership rather than keeping him as a prospect, symbolizing a shift toward legitimacy and unity within the organization.
The episode concludes with a poignant image of Jax riding his father's bike into an ambush set by Declan Silvestri, resulting in his death while wearing his wedding ring and leaving his helmet behind, representing his final act of freedom and love for his family. The reactors appreciate that the series tied up most loose ends while intentionally leaving one unresolved: Jax never learns that Gemma was the true killer, a narrative choice praised as a realistic reflection of life's imperfect truths where not all answers are revealed. This approach highlights the character development over seven seasons, including the fair distribution of leadership roles with Chibs becoming president and Tig serving as vice president, alongside the successful integration of new characters like Happy and Rat into the core cast.
Beyond the plot mechanics, the speakers analyze the ensemble dynamic, comparing it to *Band of Brothers* where shared trauma creates a strong bond that allows every character to hold their own without needing excessive dialogue or backstory episodes. Gemma is scrutinized as a complex figure whose ego and desire to preserve her legacy ultimately harmed her children; although she loved them, her refusal to sacrifice her adult lifestyle for their sake made her difficult to sympathize with by the end. Conversely, Wendy is viewed positively for securing custody of her children and finding stability through motherhood and a positive relationship with Nero, even as concerns remain about Abel potentially inheriting the cycle of violence due to the "seeds" planted in his mind by Gemma.
The hosts express deep sadness over Jax's horrific death and the conclusion of the series, acknowledging that while they are not excited for a spin-off featuring the deceased protagonist, they would watch it if it is well-received. The discussion extends to broader reflections on aging, family dynamics, and the emotional impact of the show, with the speakers noting how the series portrayed community and small-town America in contrast to modern societal loneliness and changing attitudes. Despite their reluctance to end the conversation, the reactors accept the conclusion as a fitting end to a story that balanced intense drama with genuine human connection, leaving them ready to move forward while cherishing the memories of the characters they grew to love.

Well, guys,
unfortunately, man, all good Shoot.
It helps to have the microphone. Look,
guys, all good things must come to an
end. We made it through this entire
series without messing the mic placement
up.
>> And on the last episode
>> That's how it is.
Incredible show.
Uh guys, I really can't express to you
guys how much it means to us that you
guys have supported us throughout this
series. We really do appreciate that.
For all the people who have, you know,
subscribed to the channel, joined the
channel, all the Patreon members that
we've met along the way. This has been
an incredible show, not only for our
channel and for our growth, but just in
terms of like storytelling and just as
people, like uh
I don't know. I feel like I've grown a
lot watching the show.
>> look at motorcycles the same anymore.
Every time I see him, I'm like
>> That's what I'm saying.
>> I'm like Jax Teller.
>> From now on, I won't just think about
the fact that my dad rode one all the
time. I'll think about the fact that uh
still going down over there in Redwood
Country.
But anyways, man, a lot's got to happen
in this episode, obviously. Our personal
theory on this channel is Jax has to
meet the mayhem at this point because
he's just done too much. He's broken too
many rules. He killed a president.
Self-defense.
Would it be unsatisfactory to a lot of
people if Jax got away with self-defense
in that situation? I think uh
a lot of people wouldn't see justice in
that. And I think at the end of such a
show filled with carnage, we need
justice. I hate to say it cuz I really
like Jax's character a lot, but I feel
like the man has to meet the mayhem at
this point. Um
>> Did his crow fly straight? Question.
[music]
>> It flew straight to the end, and it was
all like
But sometimes that's all it takes. Like
you can ride 700 mi home from vacation,
be 5 mi from the house, but if you fall
asleep, you swerve off the road, your
crow run runs into a tree.
So, with that being said, man, there's a
lot of characters I want to take a
second and remember before we get
started. We like to keep our intros a
little short, but I think it's worth it.
But um Opie, obviously Opie, I'm going
to miss Opie.
Uh I've missed this character since he's
died, but being with all the other crew
members has really given me a a lot of
peace with that situation. And I guess
that's what happens when things get
tough, you rely on people, family and
stuff. And I do feel like since we spent
so much time with these characters,
they're like family in a way. [music]
I'm going to miss everyone, man. I'm
going to miss Opie, I'm going to miss
Roosevelt, Tara.
I I'll even miss Gemma's character cuz
she was an awesome
>> Yeah.
>> I'll miss Unser putting his nose
everywhere. I'll miss
I'll miss Nero a lot, man. Um
there's so many characters, Chibs, Tig,
[music]
um
Happy I'll miss, man. I'll miss uh
>> Will you miss Marilyn Manson?
>> [laughter]
>> No. You know what? You did good,
precious.
Hell no, I ain't going to miss him. I
hate that guy.
>> [laughter]
>> Not not really. I don't have like
anything against him. Actually, he was
before my time. Like uh
So, I'm 30 What am I going to be? I'm
about to be 34. We were born in '92. And
Marilyn Manson was obviously a big deal
back then. We were a little younger. We
were a little younger.
>> We're He Yeah, normally he has like a
normal
>> the rumors about him.
>> Well, normally he has like one contact
in. His His face looks like he had a
stroke, kind of. He's like
>> Oh, he's like a little crazy?
>> I mean, he he he definitely
>> [music]
>> sold some CDs off shock factor, for
sure.
Anyways, I don't know I don't really
know much about the guy, to be honest.
He's He's a little before our time, but
uh
awesome in this role. It's just hard to
like him cuz he came in and did nothing
but a lot of terrible stuff. So, we
didn't really have a lot of moments that
were, you know, just yapping it up with
him, getting to know him.
>> hell.
>> He makes jail hell.
>> Yeah.
>> Guys, this is October with the
professional curb hitter hat. We've seen
it, and I know it seems like an abusive
joke from a husband, but she actually
wanted it because she said, "You know
what? I've never seen something that
calls to me so truthfully."
>> [laughter]
>> And uh
it's a frequent conversation we have
when she drives.
>> [laughter]
>> I'll put it that way.
Um that's why my girl don't ride no
motorcycles.
>> Yeah, cuz
>> You can't afford to be hitting the curb
in those.
>> Cuz I hit a curb, it'll it would a ramp.
>> That car would hit back.
>> [laughter]
>> That car would be like
All right, man.
>> Yeah, what if he's on me just flying?
Like doing like motocross stunts.
>> And I saw you chest chest first you was
like donk donk
>> [laughter]
>> donk
like just like bouncing across. This is
a YouTube intro by the way.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> to keep it moving.
>> Yeah, we got to go.
>> All right, man. This is all y'all get.
This is y'all This is all y'all get over
here. Y'all ain't paying nothing so I'm
going to stop yapping save it for the
paying customers.
>> You're You're so dumb. Don't even start
with that.
>> I'm just joking guys. I really am.
>> Through and through.
>> Uh we're It's a troll. It's a troll. Um

way. Um I really appreciate you guys

[music] The next show we're watching is
Band of Brothers. Um we're probably
going to put that out twice a week cuz I
know we did Sons once a week and it took
a little long. But guys that's because
we were dropping like three or four
videos a week and I didn't want to drop
five days a week [music] cuz our our
audience can't keep up with that. Cuz we
post a lot
>> watching Sons doesn't mean we're not
watching something.
>> watching stuff. Yeah, so um
So yeah with that being said, man, I'm
just ready to get into this episode. Do

before we get into the reaction, sweetie
pie?
>> Nope.
>> She appreciates your viewership.
>> No, I'm No, I do appreciate your
viewership but I'm just really I really
like looking forward to this.

>> how it wraps up. That's why I'm like
let's go.
>> Jax dies, right?
I'm asking you does he I think he has
to. He has to, right?
>> I'm I just I just I just don't want him
to because it's like man
>> If he dies it better be good.
>> boy for seven seasons.
>> I don't know.
>> And then he just die That would suck.
>> I don't think there's any man on the
face of the earth I've seen their butt
cheeks more
other than maybe my own Well, I mean
like
other than my own. You know what I mean?
Like
>> you were going to say your uncle's. I
was like what?
>> [laughter]
>> That's not a end that Guys, don't ever
think that. I don't have an uncle like
that or nothing. Actually, [laughter] it
turns out my Where does my uncle live?
Florida?
They say he lived in Florida.
I ain't never seen his ass crack. I
promise y'all. [laughter]
But, he did have some long green Air
Force Ones. And he kind of reminds me of
Jax Teller, except he's more of like a
Like, what's the yo, yo? He's more of
that kind.
>> Like, if Jax Teller and Jesse Pinkman
had a relationship.
>> Right. And then Ice Cube got mixed in.
Because my uncle was hood, but
>> [laughter]
>> I'm trying to tell y'all. Or at least I
remember him being that way when I was
like five, but he could have been a
total cornball for all
>> [laughter]
>> I don't remember. I genuinely don't. All
right, guys. We got an episode to watch.
Thank you guys so much. Like, comment,
subscribe. Hit us up on Patreon if
you're crow flash straight.
Uh hype the video. I appreciate it. And
last time, man, let's watch one more
episode of this heartbreaking drama
known as Sons of Anarchy. Let's go.
>> [laughter]
>> Previously on [music] Sons of Anarchy.
>> Jax looks so young there, man. Holy cow.
>> With the long hair.
>> Yeah.
>> I know you talked, and you have your
recommendation. Before you deliver it,
I'd like to say something.
>> Of course.
>> I was wrong. Found out from Lena it
wasn't Jury told the Chinese about the
guns. It was Barosky. [music]
>> You know this means a mayhem vote.
>> President killing a president sends a
dangerous message. I'll make sure they
vote the right way. [music]
>> Jax suggested that you take us?
>> Yeah. I just told him that I was headed
to the farm. I guess all the wreckage is
catching up with him.
>> As much as I don't want to pull Abel out
of school, I think it would be good for
him to get out of here a few days.
>> I want to wish you well on your war in
Oakland to drum up some new customers.
>> Find Connor. Send him home in a box.
>> And when you do, I'll take the proposal
about your Mexican brethren and make
sure the other kings at least give it a
trial run.
>> So, I set this meeting with Connor. You
grab him. Lock down the guns for the
Mayans. This going to have to happen
tonight. I need that meeting with Connor
tomorrow.
>> The night Tara was killed, I got a real
good Oh, that guy that WAS IN THE HOUSE.
CHINESE cold terror. I need the truth.
Tara was dead. Your mom was on the
floor. Covered in blood.
Gemma, is it true? Yes. You should go. I
just got a call from your grandfather's
nursing home. Guess Gemma's visiting her
dad. I didn't know that. Um, found out
where Gemma is? No, it was Unser. No,
that was Jax. Gemma's gone to Oregon at
her dad's. Jax knows where she's at. Oh,
[ __ ] You got to head up there, Wayne.
[music] I'm in arrest center, son.
Taking him back to Charming. Get out of
here, Unser. No. Get up. Come on, get
up. Go home, Wayne. Oh, um
I'd like to go out to the garden, if
that's okay. You have to do this. So, we
are, sweetheart. I'm ready.
Guys, this show has been insane. Let's
go. It truly has. I cannot believe Wendy
is in this final episode. I didn't think
she'd make it. Me, either. Man, I
couldn't imagine knowing that you're
about to meet your end, you know what I
mean? You're just sitting there watching
your kids play. Oh, he's wearing boots
today. Oh, we went for a western look.
Oh, yeah, Gemma told him about this
place. Oh, he's burning them? Why
everyone burning that thing? He probably
doesn't want his sons to ever see this.
He probably wants to just freaking cut
ties, you know what I mean? This junk
never happened. Cuz think about how his
life is because of the documents he
read. Because of his dad, you know. His
dad kind of cursed him by leaving those
documents. This is such a finale
feeling. And we never saw it completed.
Oh, stop. Whose bike is that? Oh, Opie's
bike. Aw. If I knew more about bikes, I
would have been able to identify.
Oh.
His wedding ring. Oh, man.
Now, he's free.
>> [music]
>> Riding into this world. [singing]
Mhm, I'm going to miss it. Tara's
funeral, I mean, Tara's gravesite was
sad because it looked unkempt. Crow
flies straight.
>> Yeah, we're going to have to listen to
this in the car, baby, cuz I'm going to
miss it.
>> [music]
>> All right, let's go. I'm done being sad.
Let's get this [ __ ] popping.
>> We're looking the life in the eye in
this episode, I guess.
>> If Jax can face his end with a smile on
his face, what's going on?
>> And you're going to straddle Dom with
your back facing the camera, and then
roll and grind, get the butt bouncing.
We're pretty tight.
>> She's pretty talented. She has a vision.
>> [laughter]
>> They're just watching.
>> You good?
>> Yeah.
>> I'll see you Jackie.
>> All right. I'll hang out. Let you know
how it goes.
>> Yeah, bro.
>> Tio has been a pretty underrated
character.
>> There you go.
>> You're real.
>> Which one is this?
>> I believe it's fat ass in my face.
>> Of course it is.
>> We're all about the poetry, man.
>> Okay, perfect.
>> How goes it, Tio?
>> Aren't you allowed?
>> Go ahead. Just hold three more fat asses
to our distributor. Humiliation is very
hot.
>> Tell me about it. Love you, sweetheart.
>> I love you, too, Jax.
>> Where we at with Tiyo?
>> Uh
he's left messages for Connor, but
hasn't heard anything back.
>> Give him a time and place. Larry Field,
10:00.
>> Let's go early. Talk to Tiyo. Make sure
the Mayans are moving on those Chinese
blocks.
>> I'll let him know.
>> Hey, boss. We heard that Henchman Row is
still in town. We're all kind of
wondering why.
>> Yeah.
>> Goyan knows you, Jackie. We've been down
with his forum.
>> I got their recommendation. I'm still
thinking about it. Trying to figure out
what's best for the club. You'll know
soon, all right? Right now, let's vote
on something that actually makes sense.
Tiyo.
>> Yeah.
>> I talked to Packer and the others. I
told them it's a charter by charter
choice. They don't have to like it, but
I need support from club leaders. This
can't cause any kind of exodus.
>> Is he trying to get them patched?
>> Woah.
>> this to land. And they agreed.
>> Beautiful.
>> He's like Abraham Lincoln over here.
>> Taddarius or well cross.
>> Jesus Christ.
>> [laughter]
>> For the Samcro patch.
>> I second it.
>> All in favor?
>> Yeah.
>> Any discussion or dissent?
>> His name is Tod Darius.
>> We'll see what happens.
>> He [laughter] should be at the top
rocker, my brother.
>> Tio should not be prospecting. I mean,
he he he he led the Bastards for a
decade now.
>> What he's done for us the past few
weeks.
>> He's risked his life and limb.
>> Great.
>> He waits a year before he can hold an
office, but he should be a full patch.
>> So, but all good with that?
>> YEAH.
>> GET HIM.
>> WHAT IF HE LOOKS AROUND HE'S LIKE, "Hell
no."
>> [laughter]
>> Tod Darius.
>> Come on, man.
>> Really?
>> Unless I came out of your goddamn womb,
don't ever call me that.
You dig?
>> [laughter]
>> Little indie biker boy.
>> He knew it was going to happen if he
called him that. He just [laughter]
warned him.
>> He's like mother's milk.
>> What if we called you Sam Crow?
>> The only thing is like what if he
doesn't want to be in Sam Crow? I mean,
he
>> No, he definitely wants to.
>> I mean, I know, but I'm just saying.
He's doing a good job.
>> Welcome, my brother.
>> I can't believe it. Thank you, man. I
know what a risk this road is for you
guys. The heat that'll come with it.
>> Change is good, my friend.
>> No.
>> Yeah. I get my full patch.
>> does he get to ride orange, though?
>> Or does he got to paint his bike?
>> That's a good question.
>> So [snorts] happy. I'm so happy.
>> Congratulations.
>> Hey, morning.
>> Morning.
>> Pick him up pretty much all set. Abel's
got a half day, so I'll pick him up and
we'll head out, okay?
>> Eh, sounds good. Baby sleep?
>> No, he's with Brooke running errands.
>> I didn't see the bike out there, so I'm
assuming uh Jackson here, huh?
>> No, he got in at almost 4:00 last night.
Left before I woke up.
>> And you don't know where he is, huh?
>> TM or or the porn studio, I'd imagine.
Everything okay?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> No, he just left a message
wanted to touch base before I split.
>> You heard from Gemma?
>> Um
>> No.
>> Are you going to fill her in or what?
>> No, I think I'm good. Maybe just pick up
some snacks when we arrive.
>> Sure.
Stuff with a sugar, right?
>> Yeah, so Abel can run alongside the car.
>> [laughter]
>> Give Give some Pixy Stix.
>> You heard from Connor?
>> Yeah.
>> Talked to him right after I spoke to you
guys.
>> Said he going to be here at 10:00.
>> All right.
>> And he got some requests.
>> Oh, yeah? Like what? For like first
class tickets to Guatemala?
>> Close.
>> He said that we should double the order.
>> As a sign of good faith.
>> Give some comfort to the kings of our
August arrest.
>> Good. Make sure he gets his two bags and
nothing.
>> He got a crew with him?
>> Should be alone and scared.
>> So, what's happening in Ghost Town?
>> We already got Market Street locked
down. Purple set should have everything
else
>> under control by the end of the week.
>> Nice. You let us know if you need any
more help with that, all right?
>> We'll be good there. I'm more worried
about my former boss.
>> I'm worried about him, too.
>> Yeah. He's showing up this afternoon,
bro.
>> This afternoon?
>> be a problem.
>> Says the guy who is 70 miles away.
>> He's down by the causeway, 2 minutes
away. Keep one of you guys in the car.
Have him call us as soon as Connor
shows, all right?
>> Yeah. All right.
>> Hey, you might just live through this.
>> Not if August gets out today.
>> We'll get Connor.
>> It's like the Notorious
D.A.M.N.
>> THAT WAS A weak attempt.
>> I know. Really, Connor?
>> Aw, it's the same song Bobby sang at the
beginning of the show.
>> Aw.
>> Damn, man. I'mma miss Bob.
>> They're very taurine.
>> They give me wings. I think
>> [laughter]
>> I think Connor's leading me into a trap.
>> He just did the worst drive-by ever,
like
Tag would not have liked Toy Story WAS
AT FOUR.
>> AW, STUPID CONNOR.
>> I HAD A PRANK.
>> I think Connor's going to dig a deep
hole there.
>> Yeah, but he still needs to find a way
out.
>> Call Decker. Tell him I need to talk to
Connor's guy, Hugh.
>> All right.
>> He'll meet us at Red Woody.
>> Help you, sir?
>> Let's go.
>> Thanks, pal.
>> Oh, god.
>> got back yet. Guess he's still with
Gemma.
>> We're going to be waiting forever.
>> Hey, uh, the sheriffs were here looking
for her.
>> Why?
>> I don't know. I didn't talk to them.
>> What's going on, Nero? Is Gemma okay?
>> I'm not leaving yet. I know something
bad happened.
>> I know you're not an idiot, Chucky.
>> I don't know what happened.
>> That's the truth.
>> I'll poke around in here. Maybe
someone's left him a message. Hey.
>> He doesn't have a phone in here.
>> Please take Chucky to the farm.
>> Do you think he feels guilty cuz he he
sent him kind of?
>> Yeah.
>> It's crazy cuz it was like right in
front of him the whole time, the real
killer.
>> Yeah.
>> What's up, brother? What do you need?
>> Sit down.
>> This is about to be a tough
conversation.
>> What's up, bro? What's going on?
>> I need to tell you some things you're
not going to want to hear. I need you to
listen. Trust that what I want is the
best thing for me and my family, for our
club.
>> Absolutely.
>> I told Packer the truth about Jury. Came
clean about everything. Their
recommendation was a mayhem vote.
>> Mother of Christ, Jax. That is just not
going to happen.
>> Jax, no.
>> It has to happen.
>> You need to hear me out. All right?
>> Okay. I'll listen.
>> Can I just pause it? Guys, Gemma said to
Jax, you have to do it, baby. It's who
we are. Meaning like you don't get to
run from the rules of this life. Chibs
is in the same situation. He doesn't get
to run from the rules, either.
>> Uh-huh.
>> You know? So like he has to go through
with it, I feel like. Cuz if Jax can
kill his own mama, then Chibs has to be
able to, you know, let Jax go.
>> Yeah.
>> Do you get what I'm saying?
>> Mhm.
>> Hey. Thanks for doing this. Where's
Teller?
>> I'll go get him. When she gets here,
just go and pick a seat.
>> Do I Yes, sir. I don't know. I mean no,
I'd rather stand. I ain't sitting down
on nothing in here.
>> What happened to that guy?
>> No one knows. He's Irish. They beat him
all up. You should call it a day,
sweetheart.
>> I still have a few more hours of work.
>> Tomorrow.
>> Yeah, okay. Hey, is Jax okay?
>> We're all good.
>> Jax.
>> Not really.
>> Lyla knows, too, obviously.
>> How is she here? Call her his guy.
>> How many?
>> That claim? One soldier.
>> All right, bring them all up.
>> Will she be okay?
>> This is how you learn to be a leader,
brother. Doing the [ __ ] that hurts the
most. [ __ ] you'd rather make someone
else do. Part of the gig. It's how you
earn respect. I need your word you're
going to do as I ask.
>> Maybe he's pulling some slick [ __ ]
though.
>> I know.
>> You know how he always does that?
>> I know.
>> And we don't get privy to the plan.
>> And the last minute they're going to
shoot He's going to shoot all of them.
>> Who?
>> Jax. They're going to be like about to
shoot him and he's going to turn and
shoot them all and just
>> The club members?
>> Yeah, because he always gets out of
everything.
>> But maybe not, cuz Chibs looks hurt.
>> Yeah.
>> Ready for this?
>> Always.
>> Appreciate the help. How's your first
plan working out for you, pal?
>> Yeah, well, we underestimated Connor's
paranoia.
>> That's why we need you for, Hugh.
>> I don't know where the hell he is.
>> If we couldn't beat it out of him with
no more beat downs.
>> I need you to call Connor. Tell him you
got away from the cabin.
>> Things you found a way out.
>> He knows we're with Grab me. He's not
going to walk into a trap. He'll show
up. And why would he do that?
>> OH!
>> [screaming]
>> BECAUSE you're going to send him a
picture of them.
>> Set it up. When we get a time, let Roark
know.
>> I've seen too many pictures of too many
dead bodies for my liking.
>> On the flip phone?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh.
>> Hey, there she is. Let's go.
>> LT, the A's here.
>> I just want you to know Jax let you down
real bad.
>> realize you were coming by.
>> Neither did I.
>> Where are we with the Noll Roosevelt
case?
>> I thought we had a break, but we found
out our suspect wasn't in the state the
night of the murders.
>> And now one of your witnesses is dead.
>> Yes, Ortiz was killed in Stockton
yesterday. And Gemma Teller seems to be
MIA. We've been looking for her all
morning.
>> I'm sure she found out her scapegoat was
bogus. You think she knows who did it?
>> I think she helps get us there.
>> Any idea why Jax Teller wants to see me?
>> Oh, snap.
>> my office to set a time this afternoon.
>> No idea. Maybe something to do with his
mother.
>> Find the matriarch. Put out an APB.
>> Right away.
>> Good luck.
>> Has Unser been of any use?
>> Yeah, he's a good cop. I will bring him
up to speed.
>> I know you got dropped in the middle of
a blood feud. Your numbers don't reflect
the effort you've put in. Policing
streets owned by outlaws is a
complicated and dangerous dance. Knowing
when to bend and to push back, getting
close but not too close.
>> Oh, she's been real close.
>> Close as you can imagine.
>> right person for the job. I still
believe that. Hang in there, Lieutenant.
>> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's just me,
Michael. It's just me.
>> Come in. The hell happened here? How did
you get the drop on Declan?
>> I'll fill you in on All right, it's a
complicated story.
>> Complicated?
>> You're going to want to listen to them,
Connor.
>> You bloody little prick, you.
>> Popular guy, Connor.
>> This is between me and the Kings. The
Kings wouldn't want you dead if you
weren't trying to sell our guns behind
everyone's back.
>> It was just business.
>> All right.
>> Always.
>> Cuz we were wondering why you were so
quiet.
>> Well, we were slowing up against Marks.
>> Who were you selling to?
>> I was selling to your territory.
>> Specifics.
>> Salvadorans.
>> I said in Nevada. Some Chinese and
Russians up north. No one you know.
>> Roark said you had access to AKs and
Glocks. Roark, IRA members or some [ __ ]
>> I.
>> And what kind of volume are you
promising?
>> I can get as many AKs as I want, but
half the Glocks.
>> Oh, [ __ ]
>> Good to see you again, Connor.
>> So, it was a pleasure to see you, Mr.
Roark.
>> Where's Declan?
>> He's dead.
>> Hey, I kind of saw that coming. Oh, my
god.
>> Always, dude.
>> Looks like you're in charge, Connor.
>> plan for you and your rogue guns.
>> Mhm.
>> Damn.
>> We'll distribute here in northern Cali.
Mine's will move as much stock as you
can get from Dungloe. Our Belfast
charter can be your boots on the ground
in Ireland. They're going to work with
your guys in Armagh. They're up to
speed. They're going to deal with the
IRA heat.
>> You'll cargo guns to Stockton instead of
Mendocino.
>> We own the port.
>> We'll keep you alive. Take you from any
IRA blowback.
>> That's how you unify
>> That felt like a long time coming.
>> I think the words you're looking for,
Connor.
>> Thank you.
>> I thank you very much.
>> Yeah, you dum-dum. We just chased you
around town yesterday.
>> I.
>> Don't worry about breaking any IRA
culture barriers. You're just an outlaw
like the rest of us now.
>> It's our only play, Connor. We can't go
home again. We're dead men in Belfast.
>> I know. Okay. I'll make this work.
>> And
>> Thank you.
>> Congratulations, Connor.
>> Jackson, you just killed an IRA king.
There's no coming back from that, lad.
>> My old man tried to sever that tie 20
years ago.
>> That's what I'm saying.
>> Better late than never.
>> Full circle.
>> Jax was finally able to do it.
>> Mhm.
>> I guess we'll see how that plays out for
the rest of y'all.
>> I know.
Connor was acting a fool, though. Then
he gets low-key promoted.
>> you can't blame him.
>> Yeah, but he was acting a fool and
embezzling.
>> I know. That's my boy, cocaine Connor.
>> Thanks for coming.
>> Yeah, no problem. What the hell happened
there?
>> Tangled with a truck. Truck won.
>> And you had no
>> Yeah, with Wendy. We'll take good care.
>> It's hard to strap a baby seat into the
Jawa machine, huh? Not too many child
safety laws in 1964, man.
>> This is going to be a painful
conversation.
>> Put the plates on your dad's bike.
>> Thank you.
>> Why did he say that? Is he going to ride
it one last time?
>> Maybe he's like, "I'm going to ride it
up and down this mountain."
>> Why, hell, yeah.
>> [laughter]
>> What's this? I need you to handle some
business for me.
>> I had a lawyer start the paperwork
already.
>> What business?
>> It's all in here. I'm giving Wendy the
garage and the houses. I want her to
sell everything. Take that money, set
herself and the kids up somewhere else.
>> Mhm.
>> Maybe in Oregon with you. Or she still
has family on the East Coast, whatever
she wants. It just can't be Charming.
>> What are you doing here, Jax?
>> What I should have done when my wife was
still alive.
>> Mhm.
>> My piece of Diosa, the Redwood go to the
MC and to the Charming court. They
should use the profits to buy Scoops,
set that up as home base. Hale will sell
it to us cheap. Apparently, Gunner has
lower property value.
>> [laughter]
>> Imagine that.
>> I'll write here, okay?
>> And uh
why am I doing this? Where the hell are
you going to be?
>> I'm leaving, Nero.
>> Why?
>> You know why.
>> Gemma?
>> Yeah.
>> Jesus, Jax.
>> I'm sorry.
>> So, there's no turning back.
>> what I know how to do. What Gemma knew
had to be done. The lies caught up to
all of us, man. I tried to hide from it,
make it legit, run away from it. This is
who I am. I can't change.
I need you to promise that you'll make
sure that my boys leave this place so
they don't become what I've become.
>> I can't hate it cuz like
>> Wendy and your boys are here.
>> Jax kind of failed in a way.
>> He's failing, but he's also like not by
doing what needs to be done, I guess.
>> Like he failed himself, but he still got
one chance to save his kids.
>> I'm not sure.
>> What am I going to tell Wendy?
>> Everything. When the time comes, she
needs to tell my sons who I really am.
I'm not a good man. I'm a criminal and a
killer. I need my sons to grow up hating
the thought of me.
>> Oh.
>> That's so sad.
>> Daddy.
>> That was some hurtful truths.
Bro, we told you guys
>> some of those, dude. Like I'm trying
really hard not to. I've become
extremely good at not tearing up. Like,
you know,
>> Just reminiscing.
>> He's like [clears throat] just
reminiscing.
>> You be good for mommy, okay?
>> Wendy.
>> Yeah.
It's okay to call her mommy, you know?
She'd probably really like it.
>> Listen to Nero, okay? He's Daddy's best
friend. What he says goes.
>> Okay.
>> You have fun. Enjoy all those animals,
okay?
>> I love you, Daddy.
>> I love you, son.
>> [snorts]
>> Come on, Monster. I'll strap you up.
>> This show pretty much started because
Abel was born.
>> Everything's going to be fine. You're a
good mom, Wendy. I love you.
>> I predicted Nero and Wendy would have
like a romantic thing, but I was
completely wrong, but in a way I was
kind of right.
>> I mean, they probably could. And I don't
know, maybe they'll tell us on the
Mayans.
>> You going to tell me what's going on?
>> I will. I will. Not now.
>> This is Dad's bike.
>> I don't want to trust it. You just
started it pretty weird.
Did it quick start?
>> No, that's pretty standard. Y'all can
tell me it's October and don't be
cutting the grass. She thinks [laughter]
my lawnmower starts with a button.
>> No, I'm
>> He thinks like you
>> You pull it.
>> same concept. He instead of pulling it,
he pushed it.
>> Oh.
>> Son of a [ __ ]
>> Why is that that bike was janky? So I
was like janky in the fact that it was
faulty, not because it was a weird bad
bike, okay? I don't know if it was good
or bad.
>> What are you doing here?
>> You don't pick up your phone anymore.
>> Been about busy the last couple of days.
>> Patterson put out an APB on Gemma this
morning. Needs answers on what she saw
the night of Tara's murder.
>> Think she's up north.
>> We need to talk to her.
>> So we talked to her. Ain't no mother's
keeper.
>> Cut it.
>> No. Whatever this is or was, it's done.
>> Shh. You want to play this game again?
>> I'm not playing, Philip. I don't want
your payoff and I don't want you. From
now on, I'm just a cop, you're just an
outlaw. We both do what we have to do.
>> I think that's a mistake.
>> Why? Cuz you have feelings for me?
>> No. This club is too land on the wrong
side of us. They tend to go away.
>> True.
>> Are you threatening me?
>> Don't have to. History doesn't lie.
>> Damn. That's that psycho boyfriend
energy.
>> Sheriff.
>> Oh.
>> Now she wants some real bad. No, I'm
just kidding. I don't know.
>> She's hard to tell cuz she has like a
stone face.
>> Good.
I brought Teller up to speed on the
Irish.
>> Okay, good.
>> What about you?
>> I signed to help out the rest of the
club and all that [ __ ] but Connor
shouldn't be a part of this, bro.
>> I know. Okay. Let's bring him to the
table. Tell him the truth. We need
everyone on board.
>> Wait.
You're really doing this, brother?
>> I have to. Hey. I need you, Tiggy. Get
right.
>> Yeah. I [snorts] am. Well, I'm here.
Anything you need. I'm here for you,
brother.
>> Mr. Teller is here.
>> Thank you.
>> Why in the hell is he here?
>> Appreciate you taking the time.
>> I was very curious. The last time we sat
down, talking wasn't very high on your
agenda and by the level of violence
escalating in Oakland, I'm guessing
you've been busy.
>> I have.
>> [clears throat]
>> That's why I'm here. But first, I want
to thank you for trying to help Tara. I
know that was more personal than
professional.
>> If you're truly grateful, you could
cooperate with us.
>> I'll give you everything.
>> Woah.
>> One last confession?
>> You might want to record this. I didn't
have time to write it down.
>> Maybe the Sons can walk if he gives us
information.
>> This is a statement by Jax Teller,
president of the Sons of Anarchy
Motorcycle Club, the Redwood Charter.
>> Redwood Original.
>> I was about to say.
>> Oh, get it right.
>> It wasn't the Chinese who killed my
wife, Tara Knowles. It wasn't anyone
outside the club. It was my mother.
>> Good on you, Jax.
>> Gemma Teller killed Tara in a fit of
rage, and then Juice, Juan Carlos Ortiz,
killed Eli Roosevelt to protect Gemma.
>> How do you know that?
>> She admitted it. So did Juice.
>> And where are they now, Jax?
>> Where is Gemma now?
>> Hell.
>> In Oregon with Unser. Grandfather's
house in Klamath County.
>> What about Henry Lin and all the other
bodies that dropped?
>> Turn it off.
>> I'm getting hope that he's going to end
up in prison. Like that would be
hopeful. You know what I mean?
>> He's coming to like turn himself in,
maybe hopefully.
>> came up with that Chinese fiction that
set me on fire. You know, I'm not going
to cop to the retaliation, though.
Incriminating my club.
>> What happens when the street finds out
it all went down because of a lie?
>> Everyone it could impact is now either
informed or has moved on.
>> AKA we took out the Chinese.
>> How does that pay?
>> It means by the end of the day, the
violence in Oakland and Stockton will be
over.
>> Why the end of the day?
>> You've been very fair with me. I wanted
you to have the truth.
>> Jackson, what happens at the end of the
day?
>> Bad guys lose.
>> I thought he was about to say mayhem.
>> No, what he said was even worse.
>> I know. That gave me chills.
>> What is she going to do with that? Cuz
everyone's dead. So it's like
>> Well, my thing is
like I thought that he would want to go
tell her because if say my mom like
murdered you, I would want the record to
reflect that. I feel like I would owe
that to you, like to your dignity.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm not about to like let history show
that a bunch of like gang members
murdered you like that. I feel like
the whole point of the show is there's
so many lies and secrets, and it's just
nice that Jax was able to put that one
to bed.
>> Yeah, he was free.
>> You know what has to happen. It's what
this charter needs to do. Kind of low or
hops below the line of reason. All those
in favor. Jackson Taylor. Meeting Mr.
Mayhem.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Or a rat.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yes.
>> Are they going to be the ones to do it?
>> This is Mr. Mayhem.
>> I love you, Tubbs. He didn't even sit in
his seat.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
>> Oh, [ __ ]
Oh, [ __ ]
>> Oh, bro.
>> do for you, handsome Jack? What can I do
for you, HANDSOME JACK?
>> DANG.
>> HE CALLED HIM HANDSOME Jack and he shot
him in the face. That was cold.
>> Well, don't sell people out, dum-dum.
>> He said, "I'm tired of scooping this ice
cream."
>> The lyrics to the beginning just like
resonate so hard in this finale.
>> Oh my god, it's the courthouse.
>> That lady.
>> Who are you?
>> Mrs. Mayhem? It's time.
>> What the hell? Bread and wine? Is that
what she was eating? Like symbolic?
>> Yeah, like a Jesus moment.
>> I want everyone there. Need a full
accounting of where
>> [clears throat]
>> Yes, sir.
>> Oh, no.
>> Oh, he's an assassin.
>> Call Ramirez there.
>> Oh.
>> Damn.
>> That was someone's courthouse. Someone
in the comments.
>> Oh, really?
>> Has to be.
>> Jason Bateman got shot at our
courthouse.
>> Yeah, that's why I said that.
>> Damn, Jax. He's just settling all the
scores.
>> He said, "Full circle finale, boys and
girls."
>> It's crazy, no matter how powerful you
are, if someone puts a gun on you, it's
just like, you know what I mean? All
that's just an illusion at that point.
>> at least do a zigzag run, quick.
>> Nah, he had more dignity than that. He'd
be out there like
>> [laughter]
>> I'd be like
>> I'd have to do like a one-two move.
>> Like a juke.
>> Desert tiblets.
>> And then Tig's VP, happy sergeant of
arms.
>> Good choice.
It's your turn now, brother.
I'm ready.
>> Oh, boy.
Oh my god, so they did have a plan.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Hotel Parker, you leave town so
far, you get away.
>> I would never put this burden on you
guys.
>> We know that, brother.
>> Oh my god, but I feel like he's still
not going to make it. He just doesn't
want them to have to do it.
>> I thought he's about to spin off, you
know.
>> This is going to be the last time
they're together.
>> Happy's crazy. I just need to point that
out.
Oh,
what is he going to do?
>> Just like Opie said.
>> Maybe he'll find some light mechanical
work.
>> That shot's insane with the flag.
>> Uh-huh.
>> Put out an APB on Jax Teller, multiple
homicide.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> One last motorbike chase?
>> You think he's going to wreck chasing
from like running from the cops?
>> To just go out, maybe? I don't know.
>> Like just to see how fast he can go one
last time?
>> I think the struggle I endured is done
best, even more than all the things you
wanted for Sam Crow, and what we
eventually became. The one I feel the
most is the war of the mind. It happens
[clears throat] when you try to get
right with both family and patch. That
fear and guilt crippled me. I realized,
as I think you did, good father and a
good outlaw can't settle inside the same
man.
>> Ooh.
Can't be a good dad and a good outlaw.
>> I'm sorry, JT. It was too late for me. I
was already inside it. And Gemma, she
had plans. It's not too late for my
boys. I promise they will never know
this life of chaos.
>> Copy.
>> Is that what the hell? What what the
hell?
>> like the guy.
>> I know who you are now, what you did,
what you did.
>> I like how in the end there's
understanding and he's able to talk to
his dad instead of his dad talking to
him through the journal.
>> I need you to get off the bike.
>> Woah. Woah. Woah.
>> Shots fired. Requesting backup.
>> [music]
>> He didn't even try to hit him, I don't
think.
>> And he left his helmet there.
>> I'm not trying to point out the obvious,
but it's just like the first time we
seen him. You know what I mean? I
[snorts] guess it can only end one way.
I mean, he's an outlaw.
>> He is like a five-star on GTA right now.
Did you just see that?
>> And you know, he's not going east, he's
going west. Like West runs out. Oh,
shoot, man.
>> I feel like he didn't start off very hot
either because he told the cop
basically, you know.
>> about to start out his presidency
sleeping with the cop.
>> Yeah.
>> [music]
>> Oh.
>> Stupid Gemma. She gave him that ring.
Like Jax doesn't want him to have
anything to do with this life, and Gemma
poisoned him.
>> What if that says like new life purpose?
He's like, I got to figure out that
origins.
>> We could do this whole damn show over
again. Yeah, exactly like that. Like
with his dad? Oh my gosh. Papa's goods.
>> That's the episode name.
>> [music and singing]
>> Milo.
>> That's the freaking guy.
>> What are we doing here?
>> I guess running out of gas.
>> Yeah, but why did they show Milo?
>> That was insane.
>> Oh my god, he's about to go face-first.
That's why they showed Milo. Bam.
>> Oh god.
>> [music]
>> Oh my gosh.
>> [snorts]
>> Wow.
>> [sighs]
[snorts]
>> I'm not going to read this aloud cuz,
you know.
Okay, guys. So, I took a second. I
renamed my file. Um
I didn't want to be like cracking up on
the camera like
uh you know like breaking up getting
like teary-eyed and stuff cuz I was
actually really sad to me.
>> [music]
>> Um I'm actually really devastated right
now.
And I'm really going to miss Jax a lot.
Him going out the way he did was
horrific.
>> Yeah.
>> It was like symbolic. He went out like
his dad and like I understand that he
went out free. He went out doing what he
loves to do.
>> Mhm.
>> I just I don't know. Babe, what do you
think about this series?
>> I thought the series actually went full
circle like
>> Yeah.
>> It was the perfect I mean of all the
finales I've seen of anything I mean
Stranger Things got me really emotional
but I'd say this one
>> [music]
>> like tied all the loose ends. There were
except one loose end.
>> Name the loose end.
>> The loose end would be Jax didn't know
that Gemma actually took part in JT's
death.
>> Yeah. But I think the reason I kind of
like it being left that way is because
sometimes in life
you know everything doesn't always work
out perfectly in the end and all the
information doesn't get you know
brought to light like sometimes people
do carry things to their grave, you
know? And I feel like in this show they
also did it and they made it very real.
But I but I mean I just see what you're
saying. You're observing that
>> [music]
>> that was a loose end. I just appreciate
the loose end.
>> Yeah.
>> Because there's nothing I can do about
it at this point. Like I have to
appreciate it. Um but it did it wrapped
up so well. I think that
anytime you have a show, you know, when
you start calling back to the imagery
and the music from like the original
episode it obviously just gets your
emotions flowing and stuff.
Um
and I just think this finale was just so
well done. And I just I never really
thought I'd get so invested in a bunch
of bikers.
>> Right. I I thought that the whole time.
But also something I have noticed from
watching TV shows.
If you pay attention in the first
episode like pilot, I feel like there's
a lot of foreshadowing in every episode
because I feel like even when you go
back to The Walking Dead
you like got imagery. I don't know. I
feel like if from now on I'm going to
pay close attention in pilots.
>> Because you know that it's going to
parallel the finale.
>> Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes it does.
>> Like if you if the first thing you see
of Jax is riding on his motorcycle, like
obviously the last scene might be riding
on your motorcycle.
>> Yeah.
>> It doesn't always end like that. I mean,
I guess it wasn't like that for Clay
necessarily, but but I do know I mean a
good TV show should definitely have
continuity.
>> Yeah.
>> Um I think it was a really good idea
giving Chibs the presidency. I feel like
he's the one who deserves it.
>> It was very fair and deserved.
>> VP to Tig was great just because like
who else would you give it to in that
point, you know? I feel like everyone
else is a little too new. And that's
something I love about the show. Like we
really did pick up characters.
>> Yeah, like if you look at every season
one to season seven, the club so
different.
>> Yeah. Like um
you know, The Walking Dead was really
good with that, too.
>> Yeah.
>> Um and
a lot of other shows do that, but I feel
like this show did that particularly
well. Like by the end like I absolutely
love these characters.
>> Mhm.
>> Like particularly Rat and Happy. Like I
you know, I like the other characters,
too, but those two characters in
particular it's just really hard not to
like
>> That's what we were saying when B
characters like can carry.
>> Yeah.
>> Like that makes a show really good.
>> Yeah, I mean 100%. Like
>> Even C characters in the show can carry
because Venus is not really a B, she's
kind of a C cuz she wasn't here a whole
lot, but like she can carry, too. So
it's like um
every every character held its own in
this series.
>> Yeah, and the thing I liked about all of
them is I really appreciated all of them
a lot
>> Mhm.
>> without really needing a lot from them.
Like I didn't need a lot of like
dialogue. I didn't need like whole
episodes dedicated to their backstories.
It's just we went through a lot of
traumatic stuff together. We went
through a lot of war together.
>> Yeah.
>> And at the end of the day like
you just look over and there they were.
And you know, like we're watching Band
of Brothers and it's like you see these
guys from all over the world.
And you know, they're put in this
situation. They're brought together, you
know? And
>> [music]
>> um
you don't really have to like know too
much about someone when you're really
going through the [ __ ] with them. Like
you know, and and I just like that part.
You guys get what I'm trying to say? I
like that part about the show a lot. The
brotherhood, the continuity was
It was great. I feel like I really
really like it more
watching it at this point in life
because we live in a time where like
people are lonelier than ever. Like,
don't get me wrong. Like, we have a good
social life and stuff, but I mean, we
could always use like more friend I
mean, we're busy, don't get me wrong,
but you could always use more people who
who like care about you and stuff. And I
feel like society isn't as social for a
lot of people as it used to be. And I
think that
this show just
just stands up so well to time because
like we're missing a lot.
>> It was charming. I know it's called
charming
charming, but it was charming to me
because even though
you would say their community is, you
know, kind of crazy a little bit.
>> It was a community.
>> had a community and like whenever
someone went down like a mom or
something,
>> [music]
>> you always heard like someone wanting to
take care of their kid or, you know,
this and that. And I feel like it was
more when Opie's wife was in the
picture, you could tell it was more of
like a
you know, yeah, Donna. When she was
there, it was more of that, but like uh
>> Shout out to Donna, by the way.
>> Yeah.
>> One of our first terrific scenes. But I
know what you mean. Like uh
this show did a really good job at
encapsulating this this small community,
this small-town America. And like um
>> In a weird way, it's kind of fantasy
writing to me because, you know, I don't
I'm not used to being in
>> to live in a society like that a little
bit.
>> Yeah, I'm not used to things like that,
but the fact that they can like operate
and like run amongst us is pretty crazy.
>> Yeah, every time I go into a public
place, the person looks at me like I'm
[ __ ] stupid and they give me an
[laughter] attitude.
And I'm like, oh, well, I guess it's
just reality now.
>> Maybe you should just wear a cut.
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah, and just intimidate people.
Um
but yeah, man, this there's so much we
can say about this show, guys, but like
I said, we're just we're beating an old
oil pan at this point. But like uh we're
beating a pan head.
This show has just been so good. Like
the the the characters all the way from
like, you know, Chucky's character
>> Oh, I love Chucky. I forgot I forgot to
mention Chucky.
>> Like uh
>> Who did I say was my favorite underrated
one and I didn't even bring up Chucky?
Wow.
>> It's hard to say because there's so many
of them. Wow.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah, this this really is an all-time
show, guys. Like uh you know, if if you
guys have been listening to me talk like
in the outros, you know I grew up in a
body shop. Um
>> Your dad rides motorcycles?
>> Yeah, well my dad didn't like have
anything to do with the body shop
really. He just worked there for a
minute. But my dad has a tree company.
But my mom was a secretary at a body
shop for a little bit.
>> Like Gemma?
>> Really impressionable years in my life
from the time I was like nine till I was
like 15 or 16, I used to go up there
every summer because my dad wouldn't let
me stay home. He wanted me to go work
and learn things.
And so like
I mentioned it like just seeing the vibe
of the shop and stuff, it's just so
nostalgic for me in a way because um
obviously I don't really go to body
shops anymore. And um they used to be
such a huge part of my life, right?
>> [music]
>> And uh I think this show really brought
out a lot of nostalgia for me in that
way and I think that
you know,
I would do anything to just go back to
those times in a way. Just for like one
day to just go to work with my mom and
like go have to like clean the shop and
carry all the hot ass trash cans to the
dumpster and struggle to pick them up
and to break down radiators. It'd be
fun.
>> an Atlanta sign?
>> Yeah, I drew an Atlanta Braves logo on
the concrete. My dad made me use
toothpicks and a toothbrush and it took
me like a whole summer, but I finally
got it up. Um
>> Yeah, if you're a dude who likes to work
on your motorcycle and cars and you
know, things of that nature, I bet you
just love this show. You're probably
like, "Heck yeah."
>> because like
you know, even like the culture and the
vibe around like the body shops probably
so different now for better or worse,
because you used to really just be able
to be yourself and stuff. And I know
half the people
>> think when you go to the body shop.
>> What?
>> Just nothing. It's just between me and
you, but it's I just
>> Oh, when I would be fighting with the
people.
>> [laughter]
>> Well, there were some dicks, dude.
Just one time, guys. I went to go get my
oil change or I actually went to go get
some papers for to get for my oil
history and this young kid this young
dumb kid was like trying to keep me from
going in so I was like I was like hey is
am I not allowed in there or something?
He's like yeah I was like well why are
you blocking the door? And next thing
you know I'm like fighting with four
dudes in there. It was just it was
embarrassing.
Yeah I bet you probably felt like what
the hell.
>> No I [laughter] just saw you and I'm
like hey you get in the car and you're
just like yelling at these people and
I'm like oh my
>> I'm normally not like that.
>> Yeah I don't it was like him [laughter]
versus the whole store that's why it was
funny.
>> Did I act scared?
>> No but I was like I'm the getaway
driver.
>> have been scared they would have beat
the hell out of me I'm just one person.
But no they're idiots. That's what I
mean that's what that's what like I went
to go get some paperwork for my oil guy
and like this guy wouldn't let me in the
door. He was like ego blocking me. It's
almost like they had something in there
they weren't supposed to have. So they
were like
>> like goofing off and they were
>> let me in the door so I was basically
like excuse me but can you please get
the [ __ ] out of my way? And then he
called me an [ __ ] when he walked out
he called me no he called me a dick.
He's like that guy that guy's a [ __ ]
dick or something like that. So I was
younger so I stick my head out the door
and I'm like what the It became this
whole embarrassing thing. I don't
conduct myself that way. Yeah I realized
it's just not worth it at this point
like I don't really care but at the time
>> Going along with what you said times
times have changed at the body shop.
>> Things have just changed yeah like at
the time I just felt like
we had a disagreement so we had it out
but looking back it's like now it's like
it's just now times are just more
sensitive I think is what I'm trying to
say and like I feel like the body shop's
probably changed a lot too. Um
Yeah man I don't know like it's it's
hard to stay focused cuz I have so many
thoughts going through my mind mainly
cuz I I can't believe Jax just ended up
getting in a wreck with blood
just pouring from his head like that.
Horrific absolutely like not only not
only did he die he died horrifically.
You know what I'm saying?
You know
>> It was the sound.
>> Yeah.
>> And um
>> It was crunchy.
>> Yeah it was very crunchy sound honestly
and I know that they have like a a
spin-off or something coming up. I'm not
excited for it if Jax Teller is dead. I
mean, I'll be honest, guys. I'm just not
the biggest
>> not like that. I what I read about it
cuz I saw it cuz I was like, "Oh, we're
watching Sons of Anarchy. There's a
spin-off. What's it about?" It's like
This is what I think. I could be wrong
cuz I just read things and sometimes my
mind goes. But, um
it's like they are coming back as like
they filmed the show, but they're like
come back as like themselves.
>> What?
>> The
like so everyone comes
>> Don't explain it. Don't explain it.
Guys, honestly, I don't care. I don't
want I don't want nobody to explain it.
When the trailer comes out, I'll watch
it and I will um try to figure out
what's going on. I don't want I just
don't want you to tell anything cuz I
don't want my reaction to be altered.
You get what I'm saying? Like, I don't
really know anything so I don't
>> my reaction gets to be altered cuz I
read that article.
>> Well, stop reading articles, dude. We're
about to watch the finale. Why don't you
do that?
>> Well, I read I read the article because
I was like, "Oh, that's cool. I wonder
what I wonder what's going to happen."
>> [laughter]
>> Well, don't do that.
>> No, like for the for the Sons of Anarchy
spin-off. I didn't I didn't think it
would tell me anything.
>> So, is
I don't I guys, I don't know. I don't
know what it's going to be about.
Hopefully, it's good and we'll watch it.
But, if it sucks and it's underwhelming
and they should have left it be, then
we're not going to watch it. Cuz we used
to like you're like, "Oh, yeah. We'll
watch everything everything." But, dude,
if things are bad and if everyone's like
they should have left this junk dead, I
don't I don't really see the point like
ruining a good show. But, I mean, I'm
not
>> remember the time I thought spin-offs
are always worth it. That's just what I
>> Probably something Star Wars related,
right?
>> want to know.
>> tell me.
Tell me.
Oh, the Nick Fury thing?
What, Marvel?
Every every every project of Marvel
eventually just became a bunch of
>> Fury one where he like
>> Why are you whispering? Are you ashamed?
You don't want anybody to know what
>> want to hurt anybody's feelings if they
really like that one.
>> Well, I mean, guys, if you
>> Secret Invasion is what it was called.
>> There's things I like. There's music I
probably like. There's songs from my
childhood that are like off Tony Hawk
games and stuff that I know for a fact
you guys wouldn't like, but I like it.
So
>> Nobody likes anything I watch on TV, so
nobody.
>> Today I'm going to teach you guys how to
make a dumpling.
>> [laughter]
>> First, you take your pasta.
No, you watch good stuff and
I'm just really having a hard time
talking about the show, guys, cuz I
don't want to talk about the heartache
of the show. I'm just sad. I'm just
really sad that this all played out and
I feel like Gemma poisoned She poisoned
the next generation because she couldn't
just
she she It's her ego, right? Like
Gemma's ego was so big that she couldn't
just let the kids be kids. She had to
like implant a piece of herself on her.
And it's like
I you know, you deserve what your
grandma built. You know what I mean?
It's like
>> nowadays, you know.
>> I just feel like Gemma was very selfish
in that moment. I feel like that was a
lot more about like trying to preserve
her legacy than to care about the kids
cuz
this whole entire this whole entire
situation could have been different had
Gemma had a completely different like
>> [music]
>> If she would have cared more about the
kids.
>> Well, not only that, if she would have
cared more about her kids, like Gemma's
problem is I'm I'm sure she did love her
kids or her grandkids, but she cared a
lot about her legacy and her ego, too,
right? And I feel like, you know,
her killing Tara was like, "You're
trying to take the kids away from me."
Even though it was never really just
about her and like
It's really like I I hated to see her
die and I hated seeing them carrying her
off in the end, but gosh, she made me
sick in this show.
>> But I think something that this show
could have done a little differently to
make me more like, I don't know,
sympathetic to Gemma in a way cuz the
towards the end I started to just really
not give a damn about her because like
she was doing things that was stupid.
Yeah. But I think if they would have
made it seem like she had the grandsons
back a lot more rather than like
kind of act like stoned and like dumb
around You know what I'm saying? Just
like have her head on straight more.
>> Yeah, it was more about just trying to
prove that she could be a good grandma
rather than being a good grandma.
>> Yeah, she's like, "I can live this life
and do it." but she like never really
kept her head on straight too much. So
it was like it was hard to be
sympathetic for her in that moment.
Would I think if if they would have made
her a better grandmother, I would have
been more upset.
>> Yeah, I mean yeah, I could have been
more upset had they made her a better
grandmother. I'm glad the show kept her
the way she was though.
Um
>> It was true. You know what I'm saying?
>> Not every grandmother is great. There's
a lot of shitty grandmas out there. You
know what I mean? Like uh
>> But she had this idea that she was the
best grandma.
>> Well, because she love because she
Guys, the thing about love is love is
very complicated. It's something that
you could write about, study. Uh you
could write philosophy books about love.
It's not as simple as you either love or
you don't. Like I'm sure she loved her
grandkids but she also loved her club
and she loved herself and she loved to
drink and she loved to smoke and she
loved to
do all this stuff like
>> Punch officers.
>> Yeah, like uh you know, on some level
you have to sacrifice this adult
lifestyle if you if there's kids in your
like for example, like we don't really
go out and do like adult things per se.
We're not out like doing what what
immature minds would consider adult
things, right? But Gemma was never
willing to give any of that up.
Like when you have kids in the picture,
you have to like you you can't live like
that. Like you can't live like everyone
else in that way. And Gemma was just
never willing to do that. Like she was
never willing to just like She didn't
have to be involved in any of this
really. Like she was never at the gun
meetings. She never had to move any
coke. She never had to do any of that.
She just continued to stick her nose in
people's business and like
>> In a weird way she was the final boss.
>> Which was like
>> Jax had to handle everything under the
sun you could imagine. They went to
Ireland and back.
>> [music]
>> And the final boss is his own mother.
>> And think about how many times Gemma
Think about how many days she spent with
Clay. How many missed opportunities she
had to like just do something different.
You know what I mean? Like I don't know.
It just seems like
really hard to sympathize with her in
the end even though I know like I'm
supposed to and I and I do feel bad.
>> still had a weird attachment to her
because I feel like she's relatable in a
way that like every person in your
family member is not a perfect person,
but when they give you love, like a
perfect example is her relationship with
Chucky. Like Chucky kind of knew she
sucked. Like he knows deep down she
sucks, but because she shows Chucky love
it's like it's like maybe your Aunt
Kathy. Like maybe she's done some things
in her past that was naughty or
something, but she Aunt Kathy just gives
us so much love.
>> ain't done things in her past that's
naughty. She's just a [ __ ] drunk. She
likes [laughter] to drink and blow
money. She's just hell. It ain't that
she did something in her past. I mean
she
>> [laughter]
>> she ain't a bad person. She's just hell.
Like Jesus.
>> Well, I'm just saying
No, I'm just saying like I'm not saying
exactly it has to be relatable, but we
all have those people in our family who
like
>> And and Kathy just likes to feel the
waves, baby. That's all it is.
>> Well, anyways, ignore Aunt Kathy, okay?
Aunt Kathy, I love you, but I'm not
talking about you.
>> Well, we ain't bringing my Aunt Kathy
into the next show.
>> No.
>> Well, it's also a Band of Brothers, so I
don't know why I would.
>> Yeah.
She's not in it.
>> She's not in it.
>> but uh no, I'm just saying there's just
always someone in our family. I bet
everyone can relate, and if you can,
comment your family member below their
name cuz I bet they all have someone
>> Actually, don't. Don't be putting them
on blast. Don't be putting them on
blast.
>> Aunt Blah.
That's fine. I don't I don't know Aunt
Nancy. No, Aunt Nancy's not a that type
of person, but anyways, I'm saying like
everyone has that person. Can I just get
my thought out? Geez.
Every person in this room that's
watching this reaction has a member in
their family who's kind of hell, but
they give them so much love that you
ignore the hell.
That's Gemma.
>> Well, I mean that just speaks to,
>> [music]
>> you know,
other people cuz like, you know, there
are selfish people kind of like Gemma,
and you can love them, and you can
understand that they're never really
going to truly care about you or pick
you. They're always going to pick
themselves and stuff, and you can love
them through that, and that just maybe
you just have more capacity for love and
you know
um
Gemma didn't really have a lot of
capacity for that. I mean she I do
believe she loved Nero.
But that's what I'm saying she also
loved her ego like her ego was the death
of her. Like she needed an ego death.
>> Yeah.
>> She never really got one and like uh
it's unfortunate but I feel like most
people probably go out that way. That's
why I like when old people are super
crabby and you talk to them and they're
just mean and I just think to myself
like like I understand you're old and
you're hurting and stuff and I I do
sympathize for that cuz we're all going
to face that if we're lucky but it's
like man on some level dude like if life
is a game you the only way you're really
going to win it is to not get to the
late stages of your life and just be a
selfish crab.
>> You know what's crazy between me and you
I don't know why but like
because we work together y'all
older people gravitate towards us.
>> Cuz we're nice and polite.
>> But they just like always like choose us
to be around and it's like I I mean I
always liked that but I always wondered
why I guess.
>> Yeah cuz
>> Sorry that was just a side note. I think
that's why I resonate with Unser and I'm
always rooting for Unser because I was
like you know that's probably the guy
who would come talk to me.
>> We also worked at Waffle House for like
a long time and we got really good at
talking to old people.
>> Yeah.
>> But no I mean I grew up around old
people like my mom used to make me go to
my granddad's house a a lot which don't
sound like you know a lot but it was
actually her granddad. He was like
really old so like I always had to meet
like tons of old people cuz he was like
a rock in the community type of guy
right?
And so I was always meeting like old
people like my whole life. Like the
church I went to was only old people and
like uh
I don't know I just got really good at
like
appreci- I actually like to talk to old
people a lot more because young people
are just full of [ __ ] all the
>> I love them because they just share so
much like brilliant things. Like
every time I leave a conversation with
the older person I feel like I'm I
gained a little bit. Whereas sometimes
when I'm with younger people I either
feel mad or
>> [laughter]
>> annoyed
>> or I'm like why are y'all so lying?
>> Are you like wonder how come I just
asked you six straight questions about
yourself and all you do is keep talking
about yourself?
>> [laughter]
>> Cuz that's the biggest issue.
>> reciprocate. But old people always
reciprocate.
>> That's our biggest issue is like we'll
meet someone and this is after we'll be
like, "So tell me about" and she'll ask
like 15 questions about that person and
they won't ask her one damn thing about
her and it's just like a constant thing
that we run into.
>> Yeah.
>> But not the friends that we have. We
have good friends. But when we meet
people we we realize that a lot.
>> Yeah.
>> But we also understand that a lot of
people just don't have their social
skills including us.
>> Yeah. I'm not saying I'm not saying
I'm not saying I'm a social peach. I'm
out there like
the socialliest.
>> But you had enough self-awareness to
realize that and so you try to make sure
that like you ask people about them.
That's something I really appreciate
about
>> when I leave people too I'm always like,
"Have a nice day."
>> But see Gemma never did that. That's the
full circle moment here. Gemma like
was that age in life and like she grew
up to be that old and she just never
really was able to self-reflect.
>> Yeah. Like if a officer pulled us over
we would listen to the officer and then
like go on about our day but she was
willing to like punch the officer and go
to jail.
>> biting them and like
>> [laughter]
>> raging them into a fight and like just
or like uh
You know what I'm saying? Just like
doing everything in her power to just be
like uncooperative.
>> Yeah.
>> Because being cooperative to authority
affects her ego. And I mean this is the
Sons of Anarchy. She's a lady of
anarchy. She doesn't like organized
authority. I don't either. I mean I
don't like being told what to do, you
know, to But you know, like within
reason none of us do. So
um
I mean that's a big reason we started
YouTube. I just kind of got tired of
being told what to do by people. You
know?
>> kind of goes along with Jax because
his whole his whole arc from start to
finish I don't really know how to
explain it. Like I can't say it was good
or bad in a way.
>> It was very human. I mean it's just like
sometimes like sometimes people are just
given the life they're given, you know?
And sometimes you you open up doors and
you start avenues when you're young kind
of like Jax did because of like his
father and his mother and stuff and like
he never really like, you know, kind of
like Juice. Like Juice is a Juice sucks,
but you know, he was just a young kid at
one point and like he just didn't know
any better, you know, kind of like
It's just It's just raw. It's just raw
and real and it's like uh
>> what I kind of appreciate about it
because, you know, Jax could have been
like, "Okay, yeah, I'll move my family."
Then show over. Like, you know what I'm
saying?
>> And something else I like about the show
is everyone's sitting there thinking,
"Well, Jax, you know, why don't you just
take your family and leave and just
forget the club, you know, you're And it
And it always seems like on paper it's
so simple, right? But we all know
reality is not that simple. Like
>> He's getting stuff shipped in from
Irishmen monthly, weekly, guns. How can
you just be like, "Okay, I'mma get up
and leave that." Like, the guns have to
go somewhere. You can't just do that.
Then you go to jail. They're going to
obviously know.
>> I just like the fact that this show kept
kept Jax constantly balancing
duty, obligation, um his responsibility
to his club. Like, you know,
it wouldn't have been simple to leave,
but I I think the show really
really done a good job of just like
explaining when you're really living
life and you're really in these
situations, you know, it's it's never
that simple and things are just really
complicated. And I think that because of
the circumstances of Jax's life and you
know, everyone else's life involved, I
just feel like it just made for like a
big mess and there really wasn't much
he could have done differently.
>> Yeah.
>> There's a lot he could have done
differently, but you know, you live and
you learn, you know, you don't have the
benefit of hindsight. So, Jax did the
best he could. At the end of the day, he
became a killer and a murderer, um but
that's just the life
kind of the life he inherited, please
please.
>> Um moral of the story, I think, is it's
hard to go legit once you
kill your first person, sell your first
drug, do all that, I feel like you go
down a rabbit hole of dopamine that that
gives you and then you can't leave it.
>> Is that what it is?
Thanks for telling me. I'll stay away.
>> No, I mean I just think, you know.
I don't know. I mean we all do that. We
all look at people and think, "Why are
you the way you are?" Like I just can't
Like you Like a lot of people probably
look at me and think like, "Why are you
the way you are? You're from Georgia.
You talk like you don't have an
education."
You But I mean at the end of the day
like I am who I am, you know. I was born
how I was born and we're all We're all
That's one thing we all have in common
is at the end of the day we don't really
have any control of our circumstances
and stuff. And it's like There's lots of
choices we can make, but
I don't know. Jax had a duty and an
obligation, and I think that
understanding that and watching the show
and seeing how much it cost him and
what, you know,
just seeing his decision-making, I feel
like it just like kind of gives you a
lot of wisdom about why people are the
way they are. And it's just like
It's just more of It's just more of a
reinforcement that you just never know
the stories that people have and where
they come from. It's just hard to like
put yourself in people's positions, but
>> Wendy had a crazy story. Like just
imagine when she's off with the boys and
they're growing up and stuff. Like she
went through a lot to get to where she
was.
>> Yeah.
>> She went through a whole lot. So her
story was a at least a positive one.
>> Yeah, she kind of ended up the winner in
all this. Like her whole entire
Uh I guess custody fantasy sort of
played out perfectly for her. When in
reality it usually doesn't play out that
clean for people, but
>> And I think a good thing for Wendy is
her being a mom keeps her away from
drugs.
>> Yeah.
>> And I think maybe that's exactly what
Wendy needed. That was her missing
puzzle piece.
>> And plus Nero is, you know, he's a very
positive like uh
>> Yeah.
>> What Like a What What do you call it
when you're like having drug issues and
then there's someone in your life who's
supposed to be that person to keep you
sober?
>> Like a
>> What's the name of that?
>> Oh, it's like a
>> You guys know what I'm talking about
though. Like a surrogate No, not
surrogate. It's like a
>> They're like I had to call my It's not
agent. Not advocate.
>> It's something like that, guys. Um
But Nero is really good.
>> Yeah.
>> Mentor?
>> Yeah, maybe.
I mean, that's a good way to describe
him, for sure, but I just feel like he's
going to do a good job keeping her
straight.
Um
I kind of hate that we never got to see
like more of her reactions and
everything and stuff. You know, I kind
of hate that we had to leave that up to
our imaginations, but
I mean, I imagine she's just going to do
the best she can do. I mean, I imagine
she's not going to be perfect, you know,
but she'll make her mistakes, but
anything's better than Charming. At the
end of the day, I feel like we won. The
The The thing that actually mattered in
the show was to get the kids away from
Charming.
>> Yeah, and that's a win.
>> But at the same time, Abel had the had
the rings. And if Abel didn't have the
rings, I would actually be feeling a lot
better, but I honestly feel like Abel's
going to grow up and just be hell. And I
feel like the cycle's going to continue,
and it's all because of Gemma again,
because Gemma just couldn't
>> So, you felt like that was just more of
a symbolic hold rather than Wendy could
just like confiscate it in his sleep
tonight, and then we never have to talk
about it again?
>> Yeah, but the thing is is those rings
could be compensated, but they're just
physical. Like, those seeds were already
planted in his young mind. And And And
And we pretend Abel, "Oh, it's all good.
Abel now gets to go live at, you know,
the He gets to live at the farm."
>> himself with a fork at the school.
>> That kid's screwed in his mind already.
Like, he's not Like, he
Not that he can't get better. I'm not
saying I'm not writing him off, but I'm
just saying like
he's not just going to forget his dad.
He's not going to forget all this.
>> Yeah.
>> Like,
I don't know. I feel like
I feel like this show actually kind of
had a twist ending, and it was a
horrific twist, and it was just that
Abel's going to grow up, and he's going
to be everything Jax didn't want him to
be. And one day, Abel's going to be
sitting there, and it's going to say
JT and JT, and then it'll be AT
eventually. And he'll be talking.
>> He'll be typing to Jax, like, instead of
writing because it's like modern times.
>> Yeah.
Yeah.
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah, he will.
Yes, he will. baby.
>> And then he's smoking cigarettes,
probably vaping.
>> He'll have on a space helmet.
>> And maybe he'll ride one of those bikes
that like doesn't have to touch the
ground.
>> an electronic motorcycle.
>> No, remember when that unicycle dude saw
us?
>> Oh, the guy the guy who was riding that
little hoverboard on the highway. He's
going like 70.
>> It was crazy. He was like
If you guys don't know what I'm talking
about, you know what I'm talking about.
We've been talking for 27 minutes, guys.
It's been a hell of a series.
>> to end. I don't want to hang up.
>> That's that's the that's that's exactly
how it is. We don't we don't want it to
end, man, but
>> Cuz our crow never got to fly straight.
>> I know.
>> You know.
>> [laughter]
>> I am I am I am looking forward to
different like intros I can bop to a
little different, but we're watching
Band of Brothers and you know I'm
bopping to that.
>> No, you got to sit there and be like,
man, that's some [ __ ]
>> We'll bop later. We'll bop later after
that, but it is a really good show.
>> Yeah, this is really good.
>> Guys, the first episode of Band of
Brothers was good. It was a really good
show. If it's, you know, if you're like
a cinema fan, but you're not really into
that, but you like movies and TV that's
good, definitely watch that with us. The
second episode was literally nuts, guys.
Some of the craziest things you'll ever
see on TV.
>> intense.
>> Um
>> And I feel like any person who watches
any like cinema at all, movies, TV shows
>> You'll appreciate it.
>> to watch that. I feel like it's a
must-watch it cuz war movies are
must-watches, I feel like. I feel like
you have to add those.
>> Yeah. Yeah, uh Band of Brothers from
HBO. I think it came out in like '99 or
something like that.
>> 2001.
