Would you take Temp V?
Depends on what it would give me.

absolutely, to crush Marvel.
no
@@TheMilkLeader love sausage 😏
The irony that Butcher is the only person Homelander can have a genuine relationship with because he's the only one that isn't afraid to act natural and be truthful around Homelander and not shit his pants
Exactly. The population of that kind of person is 2: Butcher and Stan.
@@Pianoman999 Might have to add Soldier Boy onto that list soon...
@@sammyboy2987 Hughies starting to grow a pair
@@Pianoman999 He is
I would ask what about Stan, but I doubt he's always honest with him. At least in terms of whatever he's secretly planning.
Love how Homelander pretty much enters everybody else's space without permission but ask Butcher if its okay to come in.
Asking if he can come in was a rhetorical question
@@nikb6029 obviously, because he could easily force his way in. I’m saying that he could've easily just came in like he did with everyone else. He didn’t ask them if he could. He just did.
It’s because he respects Butcher and actually the closest to a friend which is why he asked if he could come in as a sign of respect.
There are rules that have to be followed when someone challenges you to a duel.
I simply believe rivals though at odds, can simply be civil when the moment asks for it
I love how Butcher is the closest thing that Homelander has to a friend
True, parallel characters tend to have the closest bonds
@@dr3725 Like Superman and Lex Luthor…to an extent.
@@trasegorsuch5140 More like Joker and Batman.
Absolute enemies, but also have mutual respect because both of them know only the other man is unhinged enough to truly understand them.
and closest to someone he actually respects
@@trasegorsuch5140 no
Felt to me like Homelander really appreciates being able to talk to someone with whom he doesn't have to hold anything back.
I think it's because Butchers the one person who isn't afraid of him. It's how I imagine a famous person feels talking to someone who has no idea who they are.
@@yesman9792 ive felt since the first time he sees him in that crowd staring at him, he's been completely fascinated , he's probably never felt someone who isn't afraid or in awe of him in his entire life
@@yesman9792 don't forget edgar
I thought this was the first of Butcher’s hallucinations or imaginings of him talking to Homelander, not a real encounter.
@@yesman9792 Or better yet, doesn't care. Maybe I'm somewhat unique but I couldn't give (insert unit of measurement here) about someone simply because they're famous.
The adoration of someone solely based on how many people recognise their face is utterly bizarre.
They make a point of Homelander walking into both Starlight and Victoria's homes unabashed in this episode and yet, when he visits Butcher he politely asks if he can come in...
Excellent point
He was as coming in the crib regardless if Butcher invited him or not. I think he’s saying if you want to be cordial with me, I’ll spare your life
Because he respects Butcher enough to ask if he can come in.
Coz butcher is one of the only people homelander some what respects
I honestly think he views Butcher as more of an equal than any supe beside Noir and Soldier Boy
No punches thrown, no beams struggles, no CGI, yet this one of the best entertaining interactions between enemies.
This is mask off conversation where you can be truly honest with your adversary and tell them the darkest thoughts that emerge from within you.
Isn’t that butchers hallucination
@@shunpo6295 it is
@Fenrir he didn't even said anything like that 😂...how did you got to that sentiment from this 💀
Even when it wasn’t real
Pretty sure Butcher is the only person on the planet Homelander has any shred of respect for.
Him and Edgar I think.
Noir too actually
Edgar and noir it’s a professional level of respect.
Butcher I would say is the only person he respects on a personal level, maybe even see as an equal in strength of character rather than strength itself
@@jfjvmdvbdcndkj I don't feel like Homelander has any respect for Edgar
@@Legend-vm9uv na he’s not
@@Legend-vm9uv that was the TV scene
It was brought up before on a comment about Stan Edgar, but I think it applies to Butcher as well: Homelander can hear heartbeats. He can tell Butcher is not afraid of him.
Someone pointed out that Butcher cant physically hurt Homelander but it is intriguing to Homelander that he can’t mentally get to Butcher. Theyre on even playing field, in a way.
Also, Ryan heard butchers heart beat in the newest episode. No reason for HL not to do the same
Homelander says this about Butcher himself in the last episode of season one.
@@thomasebert5289 Who’s the genius that pointed out the fact that butcher can’t physically hurt homelander?
@@ededdandeddytv5164 HAHAHA did not expect temp V to make butcher that strong.
Love that butcher doesn’t feel threatened at all by homelander
Mans got nothing left to lose.
@@emirhanproduction8516 na it’s not
Emirhan Production this part wasn’t a hallucination, only the part where Homelander was talking to him through the TV
@@emirhanproduction8516 Can you prove that?
@EasterBurn Yep. Doesn't afraid of anything indeed.
I love how Homelander views butcher as his super villan arch nemesis and keeps him around so he can live his superhero fantasy 😂
And ultimately, this is the entire crux of the show. Homelander, for all his personal traumas and stunted personality, is, essentially, bored. He really has nothing to do that matches up to his power level. This is also Vaught's fault as they should've been every bit as invested in creating adequate villains alongside their heroes if only to ensure that boredom didn't metastasize into villainy.
Power unchecked is malignant.
Just imagine if an alien threat ever hit this universe. The heroes there would be overwhelmed because they would actually have to become heroes, something few of them were ever given a natural incentive to become on their own.
Superman stayed on the straight and narrow largely out of a sense of moralistic duty. Homelander is constantly reminded that he is a product, so he acts accordingly, and wow is it a boring, unfulfilling life.
Basically the relationship between Superman and lex Luther, or Batman and the joker.
@@Yashieyamayet homlander more lex and joker in this situation
@@NeverDauntedRadioNetworkThe first paragraph of your comment is a work of art especially the boredom metastasizing into villainy part. English is alive because of people like you
Homelander's name speaks for himself. He lands at every home, even Butcher's.
You’re right🥲😅
This deserves more likes. 🤣
Underated comment
Household Arriver
bravo vince
I really really love how they explore their relationship outside of just brawls. I like these coy meet ups where they have to confide in each other because at the end of the day they’re the exact same person. Hurt people needing to hurt people.
I also like how he calls him William
He calls him William because that is his name
@@borris3768 ye, but using someones first name is usually reserved for people with a close relationship, liki friends or family. Since everyone who is not his family or friends calls him butch, it makes it seem that homelander is "friend" or someone close to him.
Nice job biting off of Kendrick At the end there lol
@@samikaislasalo3947 I agree with you, I also think it’s a sign of respect to butcher. For a character that tries to size down everyone for homelander to call you by your name is respect
@@stixery ye, thats also true
It's interesting that Homelander calls Billy "William". Using his formal name, another implication Homelander respects him.
Not at all. Calling someone by their nickname that they themselves; refer to would be respect. Calling them their real name is saying I do not like you and it’s serious
The first time they met, at Madeline Stilwell's house, Homeland called him Billy and made a real point of being douchey about it, "You don't mind if I call you Billy?"
Now he calls him William, as if he's gained some respect for him, our at least takes him seriously.
@@BlackShinobi. except it's been made very clear that he does like him, just in a very weird way
Only Becca and his parents calls him Billy.
@@BlackShinobi.He respects him tho.
i love that homelander basically shows up at butcher’s doorstep to rant about his job like they’re old buddies because butcher is the only person he respects 😂😂
I like how guys like keep repeating the same
Am I the only one who's gonna point out that Homelander just did a perfect *Batman vanish*?
yeah
It’s actually a common trick the creator of the show does with his other show Supernatural
I wasn’t sure if Homelander was really there or if that conversation was in Butcher’s mind?
It was an hallucination, mate.
I think it was real
It really shows that Homelander and Butch are just 2 sides of the same coin.
I absolutely cannot wait for the rest of season 3 to see what happens next.
So far, season 3 has been them both going from being obedient towards their bosses/corporations, to them regaining control/power and relapsing on their worse habits. Of course Homelander is enjoying it because he’s a sociopath who doesn’t love anyone but himself. Since Billy has people he deeply cares about this is hurting not just the people around him but himself too.
Season 3 to me is changing the characteristics of each major character in the story. Hughie taking the Butcher approach to taking down Supes versus him in the beginning of the series, Starlight having to put up with Homelander, Butcher becoming the thing he hates and getting superpowers, Homelander becoming unhinged and others
@@phantomgamer9264 i hope they don't take comic route for butcher if u know what I'm talking about
@@Zanoladab They probably won't considering Butcher's current outlook on things
@@Zanoladab what did he do in the comics?
In season 1, Homelander saw Billy as nothing. He found him interesting and even exciting to mess with, but he saw him as no threat at all. Now, Billy is legitimately enraging him and annoying him.
Butcher took his son away from him. He was stood right there in front of him, and he took Ryan like it was nothing. Nobody but Butcher has done that and Homelander, in a way, respects it.
I think its the fact that homelander knows somethings coming
Butcher is the only one who isn't afraid of homelander
@@rover5058 Well, him and Edgar. They’re probably some of the only people Homelander respects on some level. Or is at least fascinated with.
Homelander is the Unstoppable Force while Butcher is the Immovable Object.
I half expected crazy Homelander to propose they started dating.
Bruhh 😂😂😭
They dating is something i wont be suprise off
I thought he was gonna suggest they team up take Vought and the Bureau down
Hashtag BillyLander
I mean it's probably the closest Homelander can offer to a date...
Honestly, I think this was the first time they had a full conversation since Billy started hating Homelander. Previously Homelander says the most stuff, it’s kinda nice to see these two exchange more words.
This was in Billy's mind.
Edit: Can confirm that it was real after watching episode 6.
My apologies.
@@CS_GOD64 People say this was real.
@@CS_GOD64 I thought so too at first but it's real. Trust me.

This feels like a chess game. And in chess, the kings can't kill each other. It'd be cool if they played like that, like there's a deal that someone else has to move to kill the other
Oh wow, of all the comments your point of view is amazing, never seen it like that!
It would make the most sense as to why Hughie was there in the very beginning.
Hughie,soldierboy or Ryan maybe
That's actually a really clever analogy.
Wow The Show must of read your comment and decided to bring in Soilder Boy
I really like that it’s very clever
They referenced, teased there final confrontation in the comics. Its gonna be another bloodbath if this scene is prove of it. Karl Urban and Antony Starr deserve Emmys for these roles. Top tier acting for two of the most unhinged, ruthless antagonists/deuterantagonists in the series.
What an amazing scene that was. I wish more people would give the comics a fair chance
When people like Giancarlo, Bob odenkirk exist Karl and Antonny looks like cheap plastic actors
@@TheDazzler420 nope... They are great actors
This might as well be a different beast compared to the comics which in my opinion are garbage
@@TheDazzler420 apples to oranges mate
If Antony doesn't get an Emmy for Homelander... I don't even know how to end that phrase
If they dont plan to give him one, I dont think it would be wise to invite him at the party. I wouldnt like to see Antony Star lazering the crowd

Homelander can hear heartbeat. He knows that other than Stan Edgar, Butcher is the only person that's not afraid of him.
The only supe that was never afraid of Homelander was Soldier Boy
Considering ep 6 just came out, we can all conclude that butcher wasn’t hallucinating. Homelander did drop by at his apartment
Well what if that whole thing is also a part of his hallucination😂
@Wes Bradley-Taubner is it not possible for someone to watch a dream consisting different people he knows in real life.. I've seen my friends in my dream, and sometimes they appear without having me in the frame so, not a big deal.
@@satyam8675 bro just stop it. It happened. It wasn't a hallucination. Done.
I love how Homelander calls Billy by his legal first name “William” - something most heroes do when addressing the villains. Like how Batman only ever addresses his enemies by their real names or how Dumbledore addresses Voldemort as “Tom”
William is also another name for Bill/Billy, I love that he doesn't take threats from Homelander when he gives them, if Butcher had powers, he'd know how to control them (like Superman when he's learning how to fly), but later in episodes 5,6,7 and 8, he takes Compound V, that gives him heat-vision
They finally showed the reality they both are living. They both are nothing without each other. Their whole life their purpose is to be opposite each other. No holds barred🔥🔥🔥🔥
In other words, Butcher and Homelander are two sides of the same coin, the other half of both of them
@@nicolasdiez7688 batman and joker
@@sirmcsir2080 exactly
Or Neil and Hanna in Heat.
Or Hotel and Trivago
It really seems like Homelander believes that he's manipulating Butcher. He's so pleased with himself. Butcher looks like he sees through it but wants to go along with it anyway.
"Now I know you're playing me, but you're right..."
@@thomasp506 TFS reference, nice 👍
That's exactly what I thought as Butcher pauses for a moment before responding "yes... it does" he might not agree, but he wants to see how it plays out if he plays along with homelanders game

Meanwhile butcher cant hurt homelander physically but he can hurt him emotionally

@@kenthefele113 nope, in a later episode they bring up the scorched earth line again

It would be great to see how Butcher handles his power.
Yea once he controls it properly
Honestly I'm not sure how I feel about Butcher seemingly having the same powerset as Homelander, and it really comes down to the fact that it's so statistically improbable for that to happen, it's hard to suspend disbelief watching it.
Still, they are basically the same person, and seeing how he handles Homelanders powers is gonna be quite interesting
His powers will probably be limited
@@antonioskontonasakis Hmmm, I think you are missing the point. Sure, the Compound V grants everyone random sets of abilities but that randomness is based on their inner nature. Both Homelander and BB are hot headed , narcissistic , short tempered individuals. The Heat Vision and Super strength manifests that nature as their abilities granted by Compound V.
@@Zeegoku1007 well said
He's like the psycho brother Homelander never had.
This scene somewhat humanized Homelander. Just goes to show that everyone needs someone to vent to.
“Someone to vent to?” Interesting perspective. It’s strange, Butcher and Homelander seem like they relate to each other in this scene. Butcher feels like he’s under the thumb of the new organization that polices Supes, not being able to go as wild as he used to. Homelander feels the same but about Vought. Despite being enemies, or perhaps because of it, they understand each other on a much deeper level than anyone else.
It really shows the greatest tragedy and intrigue of hero/villain dynamics. Just the fact that they share so many of the same thoughts, same view points. But it's the key differences that set them apart is what will always lead to the clashes between them both. Homelander and Butcher recognize that between each other and in their twisted personalities, there is a respect, kinship even and unspoken friendship they have cause with each other, they can be their purest, truest selves in the most sadistic ways possible.
In other words, Butcher and Homelander are two sides of the same coin. They need each other to have a purpuse in life
Butcher is the only person Homelander can trust to be straight with him
@@nicolasdiez7688 I think Butcher can move on more so than John who craves affection etc.
Butcher is honesly more anti-hero or even anti-villain than a hero lol
@@acemerceramv8561 he is a villain.
Come on people, it's not a hallucination, 1-he asks about his son 2-calls him by name 3- tells him how he feels 4- challenges him that in the end it's just the 2 of them standing up to have their final battle. Also the whole conversation is epic because he is there.
Nah it’s definitely a hallucination and I reckon we will see a future conversation between the pair that is similar
@@jacksonboyd homelander never opened up to butcher about how he feels before. The dialogue is too specific.
it's very obviously an externalisation of Butcher's own thinking, i.e. Homelander isn't really there
@@Iagoingsoc I never thought about it until I saw this comment section but yeah it's very clearly a hallucination. The batman vanish makes more sense and the specifics in HL dialogue as well.
Wth guys it's clearly real you can just tell from the way he acts
Despite his strength and powers Homelander is cautious of Butcher because Butcher is always capable of finding some kind of way to harm Sups.
Kinda like how us as humans can be fearful of a single bee or wasp.
Wow that's actually a great comparison
@@Arandomguy352 more like a rattle snake
Butcher is smarter than Homelander, and Homelander is stronger than Butcher. It evens things out.

It's actually better than the comics. The TV series takes the best parts of the comic and dials down the try-hard edgy parts of it and turns it into something far more interesting.
Probably my favorite scene so far this season. Karl & Antony are incredible actors. 👏👏
Butcher proved that anyone who took temp V can turn into deadly. Kudos to starlight though.
Was it just 24 hours? I thought butcher was having side effects longer than 24 hours. Edgar said he was still “working out the kinks and side effects of temp V” so I would assume that the first trial messed up

What are you loving so far about Season 3?
So far, Homelander is stealing the show for me. Everytime he's on screen, I'm on the edge of my seat; specifically, the scene with A-Train. That, and seeing more of Soldier Boy.
@@PrimeVideoUKyour mum
I think the scene was real. Homelander is shown to have superspeed in the boys: diabolical, which shares the same universe as the show. So he could've easily left without Butcher noticing.
People forgetting homelander is super lazy with his powers in most cases, treats everything like a chore unless driven
I think it’s just a hallucination because Homelander also has X-ray vision so he’d be able to see the compound v in the jar
@@sachemofboston3649 Nah, he is really confident in his powers. We have seen multiple times that he simply doesn't care about that sort of thing, since he knows nothing can harm him.

Did you just call Butcher a "regular Joe"?
@@neil351 I think he means as in regular human , we all know homelander would rip butcher to pieces if butcher had no V
@@GrifterTheBoyIdiot he isn't a regular human.
1:43 “where’s the sport in that?” Homelander just lowkey admitted he respects Butcher. Either that or he’s enjoying the game. Either way, this may very well be the explanation as to why Homelander hasn’t just annihilated Butcher and The Boys. He likes the thrill
To whom to believe his "heroics" he needs his perfect nemesis..butcher is that
Homelander just wanted a freind to chat with, of whom he could be honest and its not afraid of him. Billy Butcher might the closest thing to a buddy that Homelander has.
I was reading that this scene was inspired by the restaurant scene between De Niro and Pacino from Heat with Butcher and Homelander. The whole verbal warfare between these 2 cats are so great and it's never disappointing to watch. The face/off that is going to happen for sure.
2:18 I love the demonic way homelander says “vaught” lol
Same, that and "touche william"
Fun Fact: The director of this episode referenced the scene from The movie “Heat” with De Niro and Pacino sitting across from on another at the coffee shop.
Thought about that scene too while watching. McCauley (De Niro) and Hanna (Pacino) don't hate each other like Butcher and Homelander though.
Homelander with his menacing stance outside someone's window, while Butcher responding with one of the best jokes in the show is why I love these two characters
I love how Homelanders a complete psychopath but polite at the same time Haha great character
I love everytime Homelander and Butcher speak to each other. They are personal with each other. I love it. You can feel the tension.
Butcher is the closest thing Homelander has for a friend, because he's not afraid of him and is always honest with him.
I Løve these kinds of moments
Where the antagonist calmly talks to the protagonist
They don't have any respect for each other
But could at least hold off fighting to get a perspective on the other.
Like Voldemort talking to Harry
So interesting to watch.
💜🖤
I honestly don't think either of them are protagonists. They're both deeply scarred and twisted, Butcher just hasn't become a total psychopath. At least not yet.
I think they do respect each other in their own twisted ways even though they hate each other.

Too late for that. Marvel will never learn.

That “I look forward to it” was probably the most genuine thing Homelander has ever said on this show.
"Deal's off" (LASER BEAM)
But who's doing the lasering?
@@PrimeVideoUK Homelander LOL
For some reason I'd assumed this scene was just Butcher's hallucination, since Homelander disappears so abruptly
Herogasm made me come here and rewatch it
They're really getting to be closer to the comic book versions of themselves. I like it.
The fact that homelander asked butcher to come in instead of just barging in like always show how much respect he has for him
0:47, can't tell if it was sarcastic or not
In their own way they’re both invincible to each other.
*invincible title card*
Homelander is one of the greatest villains. Sociopathic monster that prances around like he’s such a great hero. Can’t wait for the dayButcher dispatches him.
He’s the world’s greatest hero
Just so everyone is clear the latest episode just confirmed that this convo was NOT a hallucination 😌 just thought I'd throw that out there
" Scorched Earth "
Scorched earth, there it is!
Love how civilized they're being.
"May I come in?"
"I don't mean to be rude..."
😂 I love this show
I think if this scene was a hallucination, Homelander would call him Butcher. The fact he calls him William tells me it is the real Homelander. Been wrong before though...
the main giveaway that this scene is a hallucination is butcher very blatantly looks over at the jar. Homelander has X-ray vision, if he was really there he’d look at the jar too and tell there’s compound v in there
@@sachemofboston3649 Plus the incident with the TV the next episode as well. I had not seen that yet when I wrote this comment.
Well you are right. After episode 6 it's confirmed that homelander was real in this scene
more than anything! As you can appreciate, he´s not only talking to butcher but also the public.
Well now it’s confirmed that this conversation is not a hallucination of Butcher’s, for the people who were believing that
I was surprised that Anthony didn't get anything for Banshee but now he better get something for Homelander.
Man, the writing and the acting in this scene is top shelf. Gave me chills. This is great stuff right here.
Sometimes people forget hate is a feeling just as powerful as love.
Two men, united by the hate they share for each other. Both old enemies finding themselves at the bottom of the lake, with little to nothing else to lose.
In the end, all they have left is one another.
2:53 Homelander is baiting Butcher on a final battle, because Homelander sees that Butcher is his greatest adversary. The problem is that when he goes "a little more Scorched Earth" he doesn't realize whom he's truly asking. Butcher is not an adversary, Butcher *HATES* Homelander with a passion. Butcher didnt see that as a challenge, he saw it as a doomsday clock. So he went by any means to take down Homelander. The fact that he backed out on the deal with Soldier Boy was nothing short of bad writing.
Is it just me or is the energy is this conversation remind anyone of Batman and The Joker, mortal enemies yet they’re the only two people who understand each other
Love how Butcher takes HL’s threats in stride…”can you just skip to the part where you laser my brains out?”
The question is: Can Homelander take a punch equal to his strength?
He does once in the comics.
In the comics homelander is powerful but not indestructible.
I imagine homelander would take a punch from someone his caliber about as well as a human does from another human, albeit with more collateral damage.
@@christopherballard1348 You have to factor in that Homelander has never once felt physical pain in his life.
@@christopherballard1348 that's probably true but with one important detail: not every human takes a punch the same,some would get knocked out immediately,some would go into shock and some would swing right back
are we sure this isn't just a hallucination like the one Butcher has later before taking the V24? that vanish isn't exactly Homelander's style and later on we even see Butcher hallucinate so
Yeah the scene was set up to be unclear as to whether it was real or a hallucination so I’m confused why everyone in the comments is acting confident that it was real
@@DuckyTheParasaurolophus im 100% sure it's a hallicunation. he can't just teleport he had to get up and walk to the balcony and fly, notice how when he looked at the compund v homelander vanished? he was just justifying using it to himself

yea some people are saying that this is hallucination caused by william taking the green serum which also coincide with other hallucinations he sees
@@homacritic exactly lol
@@homacritic To add to this, I also find it odd how Homelander doesn’t seem to have a specific purpose for being there. Just a vague ‘we should have a showdown at some point’ talk. Plus he neither brings up Ryan nor Maeve, the latter of whom he would presumably have heard in Butcher’s house hence why he specifically revealed himself after she left.
It is VERY disturbing.
Like Homelander pretended (Or not) to go there to get Ryan (Something he actually cares about doing) but what he really went to do was talk to Butcher cause how lonely he feels. Those two hate one another, but are the only thing that keep them functioning, sane is an...exageration.
Butcher is the one thing that Homelander has that gives him purpose. The one thing that makes him feel like a superhero. A bond with an actual nemesis. A connection that for all of its hatred is sincere. Someone that treats him like he would everybody else
I really like how from the beginning, Homelander realized that Butcher wasn't afraid of him, and in fact, shared a lot of similarities with him, just on different sides of the spectrum. Such a well written relationship between two parallels
Feels like these two weirdos almost could have been friends 😂
The connection and character build up between these two is amazing honestly Karl and Anthony are amazing in this I love this show so much honestly brilliant
What have you done ?
- scorched earth
Part of me thinks homelander wanted to talk to someone who knew him, truly knew him. Someone he didn't have to wear his mask around.
Been watching Karl Urban act since he was in Xena warrior princess as Cesar in the 90s. That man is a badass in most of his roles. Always kinda rugged type characters too. The pathfinder was awesome. I like him a whole lot more than this other guy I never heard of til this show. Homelander is savage but that's friggin Karl Urban folks.
"What have you done?"
"Scourged earth."
Scorched earfffff
I think it’s kinda cool that Homelander who sometimes struggles with impulse and restraint waits outside and asks Butcher if he could enter his home.
Harvey Dent.. can we trust him?
*Homelander vanishes*
Someone who lives in the light, and has a dark side. Someone who lives in the dark, and has a light side. Homelander and Butcher are actually quite similar. This scene paints that picture.
Can’t wait too see butcher face off against the homelander. He’s just a mere human but isn’t scared at all.
When I see this scene, I can only put it up there among the great ‘hero and villain sit down for a conversation’ scenes like the Joker interrogation in The Dark Knight or the scene between Clarice and Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs. It’s completely mesmerizing.
Homelander fears being alone, so he looked for a kindred spirit in Butcher in order to give himself a pep talk.
Karl Urban and Antony Starr really shine in this show.
0:39 One of the most ballsy things done on the entire show
