## Episode Summary

Woke podcast tries to take down Melonie Mac community! That is just...*yikes.*

ClayneCast is quickly becoming a serious show for young men, that occasionally meets to watch lethal weapon. It may be what the world needs right now to save all the men (young and old) who have drifted into the vile clutches of Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate and the like.

Nate has fallen into a K-hole (addicted to Kombucha) and tore his ankle playin B-ball after recording this episode, so prayers up for Nate's speedy recovery! Tom continues to be a rude disinformation broker. Drew has to defend himself from false accusations and slander yet again, and proves he is a good dad.

This episode features less than 10 seconds of actual talk about the lethal weapon episode. The Watch-a-long can be seen as the first half of each episode. Once these started, our hosts devoted significantly less time talking about the lethal episode during the podcast episode.

**PLUS** A New blind item article alleging the end of Brew, read once again by ClayneCast's resident celeb gossip expert, Nate.

### Father-Son-Updates

Tom wants to kill Nate's son, which neither of them have a problem with. They discuss the hit on this episode, going over many possible scenarios including space travel. Tom's boy is featured on the cover art this week, posing in alpha posture and staying well hydrated. Drew's son has been causing some friction with Brie, and Drew is forced to defend his boy like the good dad he is. Could this be the end for Brew?

Drew somehow injured his eye prior to recording so he had his cam off during this watchalong, and it absolutely isn't because of what he did in the bathroom.

### Episode Recap

A weed dealer gets killed and the squad investigates. Cole continues to flirt with Erica, the ADA from last episode, whose specialty turns out to be weed dealers! Leo Getz is back representing a client who's suing a big chemical company. Trish (who is a lawyer if anybody has forgotten) joins him and they stumble upon a whistleblower who wants to meet. Unfortunately that very same whistleblower is also a suspect in the murder case. Cole and Roger show up to the secret meeting, but before Roger can get all kinds of squeaky yelling at his wife a sniper starts shooting at them! Luckily, no one is hurt, in part due to an act of reverse tomming by Cole. Eventually it turns out the whistleblower is also the killer! Before he can carve up Erica though Cole crashes a Motorcycle through her door and whacks the killer down in classic lethal weapon fashion by using a vehicle as a weapon. They solve the case and Leo & Trish win their lawsuit, but donate all proceeds to charity - much to Leo's dismay.

Cole crashes Natalie and Andrew’s wedding but surprise, it’s just a dream! He actually is having sex with some redhead called Julie (Haley Strode), and both of them are fully clothed. During this romp they break a table her roommate loves. Suddenly that very roommate comes home: an uptight ADA called Erica. Uh oh. We all remember last episode and it turns it’s the very same Erica (Nishi Munshi)! Cole escapes out her bathroom window, but Erica finds his Wallet and groans.
In the MMM,HARPER (the Murtaughs infant daughter) IS BACK! Murtaugh and Trish argue about who will take care of her because Trish is back being a lawyer again, but Murtaugh has to go to a crime scene.

There, a driver has been massacred inside of his weed truck and the bloody corpse strung up. He asks Scorsese what happened in a great voice. He shows them the body of Kendal something, and points to the victims coworker, who he claims is incredibly high. Suddenly Erica shows up and says the D.A.’s office is investigating the weed store and it’s *her* investigation now.

Later that day in court, Leo Getz (Thomas Lennon) is back and Trish joins him during the trial with Harper in tow. When he gets tripped up during the case, Trish takes over and provides the legal basis for some objection, which is granted. Everyone’s happy.

Over at the station, Avery is relieved to find out nothing “happened” between SWS and Erica and he won’t have to call HR. She tells him the DA’s office has been looking into the weed company for a while now because their customers have been landing in the hospital. We find out her expertise are weed dealers and she has a collection of Phish CDs, to which Avery makes a great repulsed face. KRahm the GOAT.

Anyway they think the victim may have been killed by his ex employer, who tried to sue him and sent threatening texts. They head over and find a super cliché "stoner" cashier lady behind the register who talks to Murtaugh then walks away to get the owner. Behind the shop, Cole explores the inside of a truck finds a pair of BLOODY GARDEN SHEERS! Meanwhile, the cashier comes back to Murtaugh greeting him like a new customer, like she’s forgotten who he is **BECAUSE SHE WAS SO HIGH FROM ALL THE WEED!** Murtaugh is annoyed but notices a person fleeing on the security monitor and runs after them.

The suspect steals the weed truck SWS and Erica are in, and they roll around on each other in the back for a bit. Eventually Cole breaks into the cab and punches the driver, who passes out and lodges his foot on the gas. Cole can’t get him out so he straps himself and Erica down in the back. The weed truck crashes into an ice cream truck and comes to a halt. Then we find out Murtaugh has been *running after this truck* *on foot* the whole time and arrives to find Cole and Erica in the back covered in stems and seeds.

They interrogate the driver in the station who denies having anything to do with it. He ran away because he’s operating without a grower’s license! But he also tells them he recently found out the victim was sleeping with his wife! Major motive! Erica and Cole go outside to discuss this and he convinces her this was no crime of passion but a clean, calculated kill and they kick the guy loose.

Trish and Leo are in a meeting room of Gehrman-Driscoll, the big chemical company they're suing. There she turns down a very generous offer by tearing up the cheque and demanding a list or something by tomorrow morning! Very important so pay attention. When they leave, she finds a note on her car saying they’re "on to something". Leo shouts they have a deep throat and gets all giddy.

Simultaneously at the station Scorsese hands Avery a note with a similar message and a phone number, but it was found in the victims pocket! They trace the number to a Tom Kessler (Don Harvey). Quickly, they ping his phone and head over to check it out.

Meanwhile Trish and Leo are meeting with that very Tom Kessler! Leo in disguise. Kessler used to be the lead chemist at Gehrman-Driscoll, the very same company Leo is suing. He claims to have proof supporting his clients claim! Leo squeals “we’re gonna be rich!” but before they can celebrate, Murtaugh and Cole show up! Roger is a jerk to Trish as always, and Kessler worries he’s been set up.

But suddenly, a sniper on the roof overlooking the meeting pulls out an M-16 style gun but misses the shot. People scream and start running for cover, and the sniper takes aim at Kessler again. But in a textbook example of reverse tomming, Cole prevents him from being shot by firing his gun into the air and scaring a flock of pigeons, thereby blocking the snipers line of sight and giving Kessler a chance to escape.

Roger and Trish squabble in Avery’s office and he tries to reprimand her again. She leaves though and he feels bad or whatever who cares.
Cole is at a wedding dress store looking for Julie, the redhead he hooked up with, and by chance runs in to NAT, his ex wife! They have an awkward conversation and nothing comes of it.

That night, Murtaugh is staking out a location, but suddenly he sees Trish on her very own stakeout! He scolds her for her amateurish stakeout gear, and they eventually go sit in the same car, eating all the crudités and spicy meatballs they packed. As they’re fooling around, they see Tom! Kessler. Murtaugh turns on the headlights and they bring him in.

A drunk Cole shows up at Ericas place to pick up Julie. He’s an hour late, so Erica told Julie to go ahead without him. We realize Cole is waseted and are left to wonder if he drove himself over. Anyway, he and spills his guts before crashing on Erica's couch. The next day he wakes up without a hangover but has six missed calls from Rog. They have Kessler and want him to come to the station (where he works as a homicide detective). He also puked in her bathroom.

At the station, Kessler tells them all about his plan, this company has been killing anyone who wants to come clean about their hazardous products. He's been documenting this but they fired him before he could retrieve the files proving this. They have to get a warrant to search his office at the company HQ, but to issue one quickly Erica needs documents from her house. So she goes back over there WITH KESSLER and an additional cop. Why does he have to come along?? Stupid.

Meanwhile, we see the sniper from before ordering some other goons to ‘find the files’ in a British accent. Somehow he knows that the cops are going to get a warrant and check that place. As usual it doesn’t take anyone very long to drive around Los Angeles, and Erica is back at her place typing up a warrant in no time. While she’s talking with Kessler, he mentions that Kendal got killed with gardening sheers – but they never released that information to the public.

She gets a call from Cole and tells him she thinks something’s off about Tom – but as soon as she says that, we see Kessler slice open the neck of the cop sent to protect her! He orders Erica to hang up. Distraught, Cole commandeers a motorcycle outside and races to her place, while Murtaugh drives to Kesslers office at the company headquarters.

While all this is going on, Leo and Trish are trying to drag out the trial until Roger gets the proof to them. Leo starts to stall but the Judge threatens to dismiss the case if they don't immediately provide some sort of evidence.

Roger makes his way to the company basement where he finds the British sniper and goons shredding the files. Somehow he doesn't need the warrant to do this, so why did they need one in the first place? Anyway, he beats up the bad guys and brings the files to Trish just before the Judge can throw the case out, seemingly bending the rules of time and space to get around town.

Back in Erica's house, a crazed Kessler confesses to killing Kendal and says he had no choice, just like he has no choice but to kill Erica now. Before he can slit her throat though, Cole crashes through her door and bonks Kessler down with the motorcycle.

Leo and Trish win the case, and Kessler and 3 other executives are sent to jail. The client announces the 20 million dollar fine will be donated to the *American Cancer Society*. He also says his lawyers won’t be taking a salary for this case, to which Leo yells in agony. Leo wants to partner up for reals with Trish, but she just barely escapes the elevator before it closes with him in it.

Erica comes into the office and flirts around with Cole, but suddenly Nat shows up! She talks about them having something no one will ever have again but he may find something similar blah blah blah she leaves.
The episode ends with Cole babysitting Harper, while Trish and Murtaugh go on a stakeout with thermos bottles of wine. Cole tells Harper some stupid shit and then breaks a lamp the end.

## The Leftist Angle

ClayneCast is gonna save the boys. Not just their own boys, not the TV show *The Boys*, but all young men. And maybe some older ones too. This "saving" may take the form of bullying or be painful, but it is necessary and all part of the process.

Nate thinks there's a chance to save the minds of people who have isolated themselves with echo-chambers of misogynistic, hateful rhetoric, but Drew and Tom are not so optimistic.

Many leftist themes throughout this episode, probably the definitive guide for young leftists online.

## CCEUpdates/AMPDates

Several twitter accounts associated with CCE have been blocked by the Melonie Mac people, in what appears to be a coordinated attack against the hosts. Cancel culture strikes again!

This is the first time in Season 3 that AMP is mentioned, but only briefly, before the topic is changed and none of the hosts actually says American Monty Python.
