22:23 When Eric says that it doesn't feel like a monologue, it feels like that's a guy talking... that's always been my favorite thing about this show. All of the conversations feel so real. You don't feel like you're watching scripted dialogue. You feel like you're just getting to eavesdrop on conversations between real, normal people.
I read somewhere that the reason why the money were in the cans was because Mikey already decided to k*ll himself. He didnt want to leave the money in a bank so that there wont be any taxes/deductions/whatever its called. He wanted Carmy to have the restaurant and he trusts that Carmy will do the right thing. That's why the final shot of this episode was him smirking telling Carmy "I got you bud". Also, the scene when it was revealed that Bernthal was Mikey, they were making the Braciole dish, and it's a subtle demonstration that Mikey always starts things and he let's Carmy finish it. Just like him starting the Beef and leaving it to Carmy to become the Bear.
I always thought it was because Mikey was an addict and wanted to give the money to Carmy to keep it from himself. And because he didn’t want it wasted at The Beef, which was already tanking.
Carmy finally finding closure in his brother’s death as Michael smiles back at him at the end was so powerful. That last 5 minutes had me in tears. Great song choice too. I love you dude. Let it rip.
that's jeremy's emmy right there with that monologue and the beauty of it is that it doesn't feel like a monologue like you said it just feels like you're sitting there in that group with him just listening to him talk and that's the beauty of this show, yes, but that's always been the beauty of jeremy allen white's acting. i saw it with lip gallagher and i still see it with carmy and i am just so so so happy the rest of the world gets it now too and he's finally getting the rewards he deserves. this show is just so special because you care about these people. you grow to love them. you feel like they ARE a family and you feel like you're part of that family. i am so glad this show exists and i will love it for as long as they're willing to share it with us.
I cried when I watched this for the first time, but I didn’t expect to cry as much (if not more) watching it again. It’s just a beautiful episode of television.
@@dbfro1 As an older brother to a brother, this series is just tough for me. I hate seeing myself in Mike and Richie, but their characters cut me so deep.
Fun fact. The whole story beat about Richie almost killing a guy and waiting for him to wake up or get convicted is almost word for word a real story that Jon Bernthal has been telling on podcasts for yearsss. Very fun to see it incorporated on the screen.
You guys getting emotional during Carmy's monologue... ugh, here come the waterworks once again!!! This show will forever be one of my favorites and hold a special place in my heart 😭❤ Thank you for your reactions. They always make my day :)
I was waiting for them to recognize Richie's ex's voice just like they did Paul Rudd...but alas we'll have to wait and see next season if they figure it out.
One of the best seasons of television I’ve ever watched. So much commentary on family, grief, mental health, and how we all need each other to cope. So so good.
"Family" or "Family Meal" is the dinner the kitchen staff will make for themselves and eat before service starts. Its usually not something from the menu and is often just good home cooking/comfort food stuff over anything Michelin level.
It's so true about eating out at cheap places but it feels special. Our family was dirt poor and sometimes we lived off of government cheese and such. Sometimes our parents would go dumpster diving for food when money was really short otherwise none of us would eat. But once in a while, our treat would be going to White Castle and just being together in Dad's Station Wagon and enjoying a meal together.
Kudos for getting through season 1! Tidbits about the episode: *Episode 1 ended with Carmy throwing away a spaghetti sauce can. Yes it’s been confirmed Carmy threw away a few thousand dollars when that happened. *Mikey’s voice echoes in earlier episodes. You hear it this episode as well when Carmy’s waking up from his nightmare. The words “Let It Rip” were in the whispers in this episode and a prior episode before Carmy reveals its significance. *A can seamer can apparently be seen in the background earlier in the season. You also see it in the season 2 premiere but only in the background, it’s never emphasized in the show to explain things. So Mikey did the sealing of the money himself. What KBL is will be explained very soon. *Ritchie’s ex-wife’s voice is someone you’ll recognize. It’ll be confirmed next season who the voice is though so I’ll leave it a secret. *Forgot to mention this. It’s not the clearest explanation, but “The Bear” name comes from Carmy’s last name, Berzatto. This episode has Ritchie call Mikey Mikey-Bear revealing it’s a nickname for all the family members, not just one exclusive to Carmy.
I still call bullshit on him resealing the cans. According to articles at the time when this episode aired, you cannot reseal a metal can once it’s been opened.
@@rmvdhaakdid some research on this. Think you’re right. What probably happened is Mikey opened tomato sauce cans, kept the labels, and sealed the money in new cans and put the labels back on. I mean, it’s tv magic so the explanation is just something to live with anyways, like the idea that no one opened the cans with the money after Mikey died. Even if Carmy 86’d the spaghetti, you’d think someone would’ve opened a can in the interim between Mikey’s death and Carmy taking over the store which according to the show, there was a big gap. Plus it’d be odd to not use tomato sauce in other items other than the spaghetti, even if there were apparently different sized cans that could have been used instead.
@@rmvdhaak there's a scene in the first episode of season two showing them having a machine in the basement that cans food. He probably bought cans of tomatoes and emptied the contents into new sealable cans with the wrapped money inside.
@@rmvdhaak did the thought occur to you while you were writing that low iq comment that michael could have easily bought new metal cans, added the money and tomato and sealed them? rofl
As a fan of Shameless, I'm so glad to see the world acknowledging and giving love to Jeremy Allen White. He's so talented and deserves the success he's getting.
If you remember, the first episode ended with Carmy going to make the Family Spaghetti, but after he opens the tomato can, he throws it out 😮 Edit: I would like to address why the first tomato can being tossed out in episode one matters. It is an excellent example of how trauma and dysfunction set you back. The lost money may have been recouped by other means, but it doesn't change all the time that was lost from turning The Beef into The Bear. One of the biggest themes I have found in The Bear is how dysfunction makes life harder. Life isn't impossible. They did discover the money, but it took months. Whereas if Carmy hadn't resented that recipe and finished making it, he would have found the money a lot sooner and most of the tension and situations in the rest of the season would have gone very differently or not happen at all. The money may not have fixed everything in everyone's lives, but it certainly would have helped. The canned money is just one aspect the show uses to highlight how trauma affects people. And I just adore the can revelation. I hope that clears up why I wanted to leave a comment about the cans at all.
This episode is phenomenal and a perfect end to the show if FX decided not to give the viewers a second season. "Braciole" also implements one of the best uses of a Radiohead song ever put to film.
The way I said “Robin Williams” 2 seconds before Calvin did! He is always my example for “some times the funniest, seemingly happiest people, are honestly going through the most depression” ❤😢
Yea the way I interpret Michael's intentions is he thinks Cicero would forgive the debt. He took out this loan from Cicero, knowing he would hide it for Carmi. Maybe he think this is a way to gift his brother the money to build his restaurant debt-free, not realizing Cicero will just hold the restaurant/family responsible for the debt, and regardless of what Carmi does with the funds, they'll still owe Cicero the money back for the loan. So, good intentions from Mikey, but not a good understanding of how the debt would work. There's also other theories out there, I don't know if we'll ever get concrete answers with Mikey gone. But a point that is often brought up, and important to remember, is that Mikey was a drug addict and using. It's very likely that he just wasn't thinking very clearly, regardless of his intentions. It made sense to him, for whatever reason, to hide the money in the cans for Carmi.
I knew the crew would love this show, it's impossible not to. They're so empathetic and have such attention to detail that I knew they would appreciate how meticulously-crafted it is. Detective Calvin is already in the zone, and Aaron is on his game as well.
Fun Fact. Yesterday's Cubbies day game (4-20) Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie) and Matty Matheson (Neil) led "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" for the 7th Inning stretch. Was epic!
Do you understand that Jon Bernthal is THAT good? He appeared in like 2 episodes and we freaking love him as Michael as if he was a regular character. Gosh, I love him. Can't wait for you guys to watch THAT episode in S2 🤭
Yeah we can conclude this money was "borrowed" from three mobsters, one of which was Cicero, originally to be laundered. Had Mikey stayed alive, they surely would not let him keep the money. At least that must have been how Mikey thought it would work, because in end they still passed the debt onto Carmie anyway.
Do you realize that in the first episode Richie wanted Carmie to make the spaghetti, and he refused and threw away a can of tomatoes after he opened it?!?! They could have found that money in Ep. 1!!!!
The way Tina or more so the chefs bring up stories about Micheal gives us an insight into how far his depression really was. I have no doubt he joked with Richie and put up a show for everyone but it’s these small moments you look back at and start to wonder about the signs. I love how The Bear tackles the topic of mental health!
I really loved this show, and this episode really hit the first time (and every time after). Never thought I'd cry over spaghetti, but I was sobbing my eyes out. Such a good show!
Honestly, I struggled through the first season. I didn’t like Richie and every episode stressed me out. But it was so good, I couldn’t stop watching. I really like the second season. Can’t wait to watch it with you.
I started watching this show when I saw you guys were reacting to it, after the first 2 episodes I was like "nah this show might not be for me" and here I am 6 episodes later crying 🥲
Cicero said what KBL meant in the earlier episode K was Cicero name i believe, B was for Berzatto Cadmus family name, and L was for Lee which is a person you’ll meet in a spectacular episode in season 2 you won’t believe
The more he didn't respond, the more it strained the relationship and the more it drove him into cooking to get a response and the better it made him, which strained the relationship more, which drove him more into it and he got better, which strained the relationship more and drove him further into it and he got better, which strained the relationship....this speaks to me because I've LIVED it. I want to impress this person, oh they didn't see, fine I'll do BETTER, oh they still didn't see F THEM I don't care, I don't care AT ALL, I care so little I'm going to show them I was always better than them lol.
Fantastic end to the season, but I'll always hate that Syd and Marcus never apologized. They were in the wrong. Sure Carmie shouldn't have yelled at them like that, but they're not innocent.
What I didn't like is that only Carmen said sorry. As if Marcus hadn't learned the amount of fuck up that he was doing, a big chunk of the reason everything was going wrong that day was because of him. And this hasn't been addressed even after season 2.
The same with Sydney, it was pretty much her fault to begin with. The only thing Carmen did wrong was not being able to handle the situation after they fucked everything up.
Everyone shared blame. I think it’s not right to blame any one person. It was what they call a “perfect storm”. Carmy agreed to the take out orders, but Sydney made a mistake and left on pre-orders. It was a mistake, nothing more. Marcus should have been working on his cakes but it didn’t warrant being yelled at like that. They should have apologized also, but no one is perfect here in their reactions.
@@LeapYearJay I normally agree that everyone has something to learn, but you can't seriously tell me that Carmen's mistake was trusting Sydney. Sydney's "just a mistake" was the main reason all of this happened, she is too impatient, unwise and inexperienced for her ideas always talking about planning but never going further, after planning comes making sure that the plan is feasible and making sure that everyone involved is focused and ready. Marcus didn't deserve to get yelled like that? Carmen and Sydney several times told him to stop doing what he was doing, that it wasn't the time to be doing that, and he kept going and going.
@@LeapYearJay you seem to be downplaying how bad is what she did, she is a person and everyone makes mistakes, but in a business an employee can't be making this kind of mistakes.
I always wondered what the point was of leaving the money for Mikey, since now he just got back the money he owed Cicero. My theory, and probably what the show is trying to convey, is that Mikey was hoping the debt would be forgiven when he died, instead of Cicero passing it on to Carmen

💯
Yes it is I've seen it so many times and I still cry !
Michael smiling + Let down = Peak TV
i love that song so much dude. my favorite radiohead song fr
Amen
When the first notes of that song started i was so happy. Being able to use a radiohead song that is not ,,creep“ shows how superior this show is😂
literally makes me bawl like a baby

Until Claire's lines
But I think that's on purpose
@@Jack-gs4fi Yeah, they wanted to make her feel like a dream for Carmy.
More so, that you are in that room listening to someone break open their problems.
Season 2 is incredible, but I’ll be especially waiting for the two episodes called “Fishes” and “Forks”
Great episode
Hated that episode the first time I watched it…. Now I freaking love watching reaction videos of it!
Yeah S2 is on another level. Fishes and Forks episodes were one of the best tv episodes last year.
honestly think that the final shot of Mikey might be my favourite final shot of all time. such a perfect conclusion to this season.
Same here. It's absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking.
I read somewhere that the reason why the money were in the cans was because Mikey already decided to k*ll himself. He didnt want to leave the money in a bank so that there wont be any taxes/deductions/whatever its called. He wanted Carmy to have the restaurant and he trusts that Carmy will do the right thing.

So how did he secure the money in a seemingly *sealed* can of tomatoes?
@@ameliacraiig4193 There is mention of a can sealer at one point I think, earlier on and at the time meant nothing.
@@Cyriuxa Thanks. I wondered how exactly....
@@ameliacraiig4193 season 2 episode 1 when richie was asking about purpose, there were shots of a can sealer in the basement of the restaurant
I always thought it was because Mikey was an addict and wanted to give the money to Carmy to keep it from himself. And because he didn’t want it wasted at The Beef, which was already tanking.
Crazy how this show only gets better with Season 2
Carmy finally finding closure in his brother’s death as Michael smiles back at him at the end was so powerful. That last 5 minutes had me in tears. Great song choice too.
I love you dude. Let it rip.
It is in fact Paul Rudd in ballbreakers… in one scene there’s a poster in the back with Paul Rudd on it
I am being 100% honest when I say that those tomato sauces are one of the best plot twists I have ever seen in a television series.
And to think Carmie almost stumbled upon it in the first episode but the bread comment made him chuck that half-opened can in the garbage.
@@elheber
Five grand down the drain.

The scenes of Carmen talking about his brother at the meeting and then seeing Michael at the end smiling at him never fail to make me tear up.😭
Y'all remember how the pilot ended? Carmy throwing an opened tin of tomatoes in the trash... Very well written series.
That was a big can, not the small ones with money in it
@@laramorrison5973 Apparently it was confirmed by the show runners that it was indeed a money can
@laramorrison5973 it 100% looked like a small one because Richie handed the cans to Carmy

Fun fact. The whole story beat about Richie almost killing a guy and waiting for him to wake up or get convicted is almost word for word a real story that Jon Bernthal has been telling on podcasts for yearsss. Very fun to see it incorporated on the screen.
Can you tell me the title of the episode of that podcast?
Bro I don’t even have an older brother, but the immense feelings I felt at that last shot is just beautifully indescribable!
You guys getting emotional during Carmy's monologue... ugh, here come the waterworks once again!!! This show will forever be one of my favorites and hold a special place in my heart 😭❤
Thank you for your reactions. They always make my day :)
small detail i never noticed before is the little answering machine from richie's ex-wife. pretty cool if you watched season 2 and recognise the voice

Best episode of season - Done.
Now waiting for the best episode of season 2, forks - desperately waiting.
The 1-2 of Fishes and Forks is one of, if not the best two episode stretch in any series ever
In a vaccume i would say Fishes is better but for pushing the story forward and in terms of character growth then i agree with Forks.
It's so true about eating out at cheap places but it feels special. Our family was dirt poor and sometimes we lived off of government cheese and such. Sometimes our parents would go dumpster diving for food when money was really short otherwise none of us would eat. But once in a while, our treat would be going to White Castle and just being together in Dad's Station Wagon and enjoying a meal together.

Season 2, Let's gooo 🤩
Rewatching episode 1 is crazy after this one
jeremy is such an amazing actor
When is season 2 coming? LET IT RIP!
I really loved this show, and this episode really hit the first time (and every time after). Never thought I'd cry over spaghetti, but I was sobbing my eyes out. Such a good show!
The monologue is one of the best in TV history.
We're all strong until Mikey smiles at the end
Honestly, I struggled through the first season. I didn’t like Richie and every episode stressed me out. But it was so good, I couldn’t stop watching. I really like the second season. Can’t wait to watch it with you.
last shot destroyed me
I'm very happy that Jeremy Allen White is getting his due. I feel like he wasn't that known when he was on shameless, but he was so good in that show.
The Bear is simply, stunning television
You know a show's good when it can have grown men in tears.
Jeremy Allen White, what a phenomenal actor 👏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽
The acting in this series is fantastic. Everyone deserves props. Big fan of Ayo after this. She's got a bright future ahead.
I’m so excited you finished the 1st season because the 2nd is even better imo ❤
In six weeks, get ready for the most stressful episode you've ever seen!
I started watching this show when I saw you guys were reacting to it, after the first 2 episodes I was like "nah this show might not be for me" and here I am 6 episodes later crying 🥲
And remember in the first episode he trough a can in the trash
Imagine what would have happened if Carmy had finished opening that can of tomato sauce in Ep 1.
My favorite episode of tv eve is in season 2. Can’t wait to watch y’all see it
This show is so special
When I read the “Let it Rip” it genuinely made me tear up
The guy in the middle is constantly talking during important scenes 🫣

If you guys haven’t watched Jeremy Allan white in shameless you gotta do it! This guy will win an Oscar someday
Perhaps the best season finale I’ve ever seen. The series could have ended there and I’d be happy.

I want to impress this person, oh they didn't see, fine I'll do BETTER, oh they still didn't see F THEM I don't care, I don't care AT ALL, I care so little I'm going to show them I was always better than them lol.
aaron is so anxious, jesus
I'm wondering now if Paul Rudd played the Business Suit/Paper Bag guy in the tournament line in episode one.
Let it rip 😭
Fantastic end to the season, but I'll always hate that Syd and Marcus never apologized. They were in the wrong. Sure Carmie shouldn't have yelled at them like that, but they're not innocent.
Also Richie never apologized to Sydney for being a dick to her.
22:06 Ohh Calvin wait till S2. The best is yet to come.
Love erics Rorschach reference
What I didn't like is that only Carmen said sorry. As if Marcus hadn't learned the amount of fuck up that he was doing, a big chunk of the reason everything was going wrong that day was because of him.
And this hasn't been addressed even after season 2.
The same with Sydney, it was pretty much her fault to begin with.
The only thing Carmen did wrong was not being able to handle the situation after they fucked everything up.
Everyone shared blame. I think it’s not right to blame any one person. It was what they call a “perfect storm”. Carmy agreed to the take out orders, but Sydney made a mistake and left on pre-orders. It was a mistake, nothing more. Marcus should have been working on his cakes but it didn’t warrant being yelled at like that. They should have apologized also, but no one is perfect here in their reactions.
@@LeapYearJay I normally agree that everyone has something to learn, but you can't seriously tell me that Carmen's mistake was trusting Sydney. Sydney's "just a mistake" was the main reason all of this happened, she is too impatient, unwise and inexperienced for her ideas always talking about planning but never going further, after planning comes making sure that the plan is feasible and making sure that everyone involved is focused and ready.
Marcus didn't deserve to get yelled like that? Carmen and Sydney several times told him to stop doing what he was doing, that it wasn't the time to be doing that, and he kept going and going.
@@yiledute I’m not going to continue this discussion except to say that you seem overly critical of her.
@@LeapYearJay you seem to be downplaying how bad is what she did, she is a person and everyone makes mistakes, but in a business an employee can't be making this kind of mistakes.
I always wondered what the point was of leaving the money for Mikey, since now he just got back the money he owed Cicero. My theory, and probably what the show is trying to convey, is that Mikey was hoping the debt would be forgiven when he died, instead of Cicero passing it on to Carmen
That final shot hits like a ton of bricks
Safe to assume season 2 review starts next week?
Got my Original Berf shirt today 😁
22:07 Well, said, Calvin.
Bro the bear so goated
Loved your reaction as always❤. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one.
