The Buddie System - Podcast Trailer

Rachel 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;02;22

Welcome to the Buddie System podcast.

Cilla 00;00;02;24 - 00;00;23;26

We're three friends here to uncover the surprising depths of the network dramedy 9-1-1, a procedural show that masterfully balances laughable seriousness with charming characters and heartwarming stories. We hope you join us as we embark on a journey of witty, insightful conversations, analyzing the characters and their relationships through an elevated critical lens.

Han 00;00;24;01 - 00;00;28;15

Before we tell you more about the show, let's introduce you to the buddies.

Rachel 00;00;28;17 - 00;00;57;06

Hey everyone, I'm Rachel. I'm an artist who watches and yells about television and movies with my friends almost as often as I paint. Actually, that's not true. It's more. I'm known in my friend group for my impeccable dad jokes and playing devil's advocate, much to their chagrin. I have a particular set of skills that include honing in on fine details and invisible strings, then connecting it all in a nice little package.

Rachel 00;00;57;09 - 00;01;21;16

After a detour or two. On the way, I've collected my own fandom Infinity Stones, Black Sails, Marvel, supernatural, and my newest acquisition, 911. Like karma, I always come back around. And while I started watching 911 a couple of years ago and start, I know what was I thinking? I'm back on the fire engine bandwagon with a vengeance.

Cilla 00;01;21;19 - 00;01;44;05

Hi, my name is Cilla or Cil for short. I have a passion for media editing and English Lit other than Supernatural, my hyper fixations and are fresh out the super mega turbo hell slammer—from Marvel and Star Wars to 9-1-1. Also, I am in your walls. Just kidding. I am not in your walls, but I am in your ears.

Cilla 00;01;44;08 - 00;01;59;14

Being an observant mastermind is my superpower, and my comedic timing is only outmatched by my out of pocket sick burns. Speaking of Burns, I got into 911 because of the slow roasting, slow burn, but we'll get into that later.

Han 00;01;59;16 - 00;02;23;21

Hi, I'm Han, the resident media producer. I am neuro spicy, in chronic pain, and insane in the membrane. An AuDHD girl is nothing without their special interests. Mine include most things Marvel firefighters with questionable judgment and a tortured blond woman's latest album. I have a knack for getting into characters heads to ascertain their feelings and motivations, which is probably invasive.

Han 00;02;23;21 - 00;02;38;16

But let's be real it's the closest most of them will get to therapy. I am a recent convert to 9-1-1, but deeply devoted to the cause. I came for the bisexual rep I needed and stayed for the fire fam. I deserved.

Rachel 00;02;38;18 - 00;03;11;23

We will explore the show one episode at a time from the beginning. Each week will delve into the character arcs and relationships highlighted in that episode, and pinpoint a scene we find of particular interest to thoroughly dissect. 911 does a great job of reflecting the character's journeys through the emergency calls on each episode. We'll dive deep into these overarching themes and our takeaways of the larger philosophical ideas of the episode, and focus on ones that will have significant meaning throughout the series as a whole.

Rachel 00;03;11;25 - 00;03;27;09

We will also touch on how the writing, production, and network all play pivotal roles in making intentional decisions that affect what we as viewers take away as the big picture and what it all means. As a final story that airs.

Han 00;03;27;11 - 00;03;52;17

We love that there is a lot of queer representation on this show, which we discuss regularly and our character analyzes. In addition, we have a dedicated segment for something we do not see a lot in television a subtextual, queer coded character coming out canonically while we keep the rest of the regular podcast spoiler free. We make an exception in this case as Buck is coded as bisexual, but not canonically shown as such until season seven.

Han 00;03;52;19 - 00;04;00;05

We'll be keeping an eye out for bisexual Buck details and discussing how the relationship between Buck and Eddie specifically evolves.

Cilla 00;04;00;08 - 00;04;21;10

In addition to our core episodes, we'll also have “clownery” specials where we take off our analytical hats and put on our tinfoil ones for some spoilery fun. You can also find our live reactions to new episodes on YouTube. Thanks for listening. We'd love to talk to you on your favorite social media platform. Follow us at buddiesystempod everywhere.

Cilla 00;04;21;17 - 00;04;25;11

That's a b-u-d-d-i-e system pod.

Han 00;04;25;14 - 00;04;29;09

Remember, don't accidentally fall into the 9-1-1 fandom.

Rachel 00;04;29;11

But if you do

Cilla 00;04;30

Take a buddy with you.
