Sons of Anarchy 7x13 Series Finale Reaction | “Papa’s Goods” | We Weren’t Ready to Say Goodbye

Watch on YouTube

Video 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. >> By Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, just saying. >> That's right. >> I'm just saying. >> Well, do you have any more thoughts, sweetie? >> No, I'm just sad. I don't want to hang up. >> You know, you wearing professional curb hitter was kind of embarrassing >> horrible, yeah. Like I I was like about to take my hat off and then I was like I have headphones on now, space mushrooms, and I can't. >> Dang it. All right, guys. Love y'all so much. Thank you for all the support. Bye.
