• Take the Money and Run (2x15: Ocean's 9-1-1)

  Get ready to flip your perspective because this episode of 9-1-1 is a real gem!This week we dive into the hilariously chaotic world of Season 2, Episode 15 'Ocean's 9-1-1', where the 118 are a distraction, and the real heist is our sanity! Bobby and the gang are accused of being part of a plot that spirals out of control, and let’s just say, the detectives in this episode are as incompetent as they come!We’re all about The Buddie System here (lol), and with Hen in the hot seat facing some serious accusations, you’ll want to hear how our favorite first responders back each other up—because nothing screams “family” like a dash of drama and a sprinkle of whodunit! The detectives' hilariously misguided theories about Athena, Bobby, Buck, Hen, Chimney, Michael, and Eddie highlight the absurdity of assumptions, reminding us to always think outside the box!Han, Cil, and Rachel explore how this episode flips the usual procedural formula on its head, giving us delightful twists that made us feel like we were watching a movie, with our 118 fam caught in a web of crime, comedy, and confusion. We even imagined what it would be like if Buck, Eddie, and the rest of the squad were to start their own crime syndicate. Spoiler alert: it’s as chaotic and hilarious as you’d expect!So grab your detective hats, and let’s start from the beginning so we can crack this case wide open.📔 Articles Mentioned:📰 How ‘9-1-1’s Breezy Heist Episode Channels ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, TV Insider📰 ‘9-1-1’ Showrunner Tim Minear Teases Spring Return, Origin Stories & More Season 2 Details, TV Line📰 Florida teen rescued after being trapped in bank vault for hours, New York PostChapters(00:00:00)-Intro(00:02:12)-General Thoughts(00:09:03)-Jaws of Life - Deep Dive(00:12:52)-Red String Corner(00:20:46)-Needle Drop(00:22:32)-Flashover - Themes(00:34:40)-Who’s Cookin’ - “Motives” for the Heist(00:36:22)-Buck & Maddie - Lost Their Security Deposit (00:43:25)-Hen - Stressed About Karen’s Unemployment(00:54:18)-Chimney - Too Much Time on His Hands(01:00:12)-Eddie- Too Competent For His Own Good(01:06:48)-A Very Buddie Resume(01:11:03)-Michael - Friends with His Ex’s New Squeeze(01:13:50)-Athena - In Cahoots by Association(01:18:30)-Bobby - Conspiring with His Fiance’s Ex(01:19:32)-Where’s the Fire? - Scene Dissection: Bobby’s Interrogation(01:28:48)-Slow Burn - Bi Buck & Buddie Watch(01:33:12)-Who’s Your Partner?(01:40:55)-Take a Buddie With You - OutroWe are @buddiesystempod everywhere:TikTokTwitterInstagramFacebookWatch The Buddie System podcast episodes and our live reactions to the most recent 9-1-1 episodes on YouTube!Support us on

• I Forgot That You Existed: The Tommy Plot Device on 9-1-1

  Ever had a character in a show that just makes you scream, “Why are you even here?”Plot twist: It’s all about Buddie. Tommy Kinard is the ultimate MacGuffin of the 9-1-1 universe, and we’re going to hold your hand while we break down this plot device! In this week’s episode, Han, Cil, and Rachel explore the intricacies of narrative devices through the lens of Tommy’s character – or lack thereof. With less depth than a kiddie pool, Tommy’s role is to showcase Buck's journey of self-discovery and his coming to terms with his bisexuality. We delve into why Tommy’s presence is never really acknowledged as substantial, but merely raises some serious questions about Buck’s feelings for Eddie, Eddie’s sexuality, and basically anything other than Tommy himself. From bully to misdirected love interest, Tommy’s journey is like a roller coaster that never quite leaves the station. Navigating through his brief moments of impact we see how Tommy’s more of a stepping stone than a destination for Buck, with a big fat nothingburger for his own storyline. Join us as we analyze the echoing themes of relationship dynamics, character replacements, and the undeniable fact that sometimes, characters just exist to make the main ones look better. We tackle everything from the awkward love triangle to the emotional fallout of Buck’s first queer relationship and how Tommy’s exit finally sets the stage for Buck to realize his feelings about Eddie. Buck-le up for some laughs, some eye rolls, and a whole lot of “That’s crazy work,” as we shine a light on Tommy’s “questionable” relevance!

• 9-1-1 Couch Theory (Buddie System’s Version)

  I say, “Can you believe it?” as we’re lying on the couch, “the Buddie canon we can see it, yes, yes, we can see it now!”This week Couch Theory takes center stage as Han, Cil, and Rachel take you on a whimsical journey through the concept that has captured the imagination of Buddie fans since Season 6.From the couch that symbolizes relationships to the chair that represents his newfound independence, we unravel how Buck's choices (or lack thereof) reflect his emotional journey. In a trademark iconic moment, Christopher points out Buck's lack of a couch, signaling a deeper commentary on adulthood and responsibility. Buck's inability to choose a couch mirrors his seemingly endless challenge in choosing the *right* partners, and we follow the invisible strings tying parallels between his relationships with Eddie and his romantic partners, and how these dynamics play out on the couch. We explore how the couch serves as a metaphor for intimacy, family dynamics, and emotional distance, highlighting key moments when Buck and Eddie navigate their feelings for each other and their roles as co-parents. Don’t worry, there is plenty of couch symbolism for Eddie as well—the Buddies discuss how his proximity and position on the couch mirror his emotional state and his struggles with acceptance and belonging.Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, this exploration of Couch Theory brings new dimensions to understanding Buck and Eddie and their intertwined lives, and inspires a look back on your favorite moments with fresh eyes, leaving you eagerly anticipating the next chapter of their stories.In our thorough investigation we uncover this underlying truth: sometimes, the best couch is the one right under your nose, waiting for you to sit down and get comfortable. So grab your snacks, settle in, and join us for a deep dive of Buck’s psyche via furniture!Chapters:(00:00:00)-Intro(00:00:40)-Let’s move this party to the couch!(00:02:10)-Couch Theory 101(00:07:40)-Symbolism Overview(00:13:04)-Buck & Abby’s breakup (1x10)(00:19:35)-Buck asks Maddie to stay (2x01)(00:26:34)-Buck & Eddie help move Maddie’s couch (2x06)(00:30:35)-Buck gets crushed x2 & Ali break up (2x18)(00:42:33)-Eddie drops Chris off to hang with “his Buck” (3x01)(00:45:51)-Going for the title on Buck’s couch (3x09)(00:47:40)-Buck isn’t really a guest on Eddie’s couch (3x11)(00:51:27)-Buck and Eddie co-parenting and married behavior (4x03)(00:54:19)-Chris and Buck's matching abandonment issues (4x08)(01:03:26)-Ana sits in Buck’s seat on the Diaz couch (4x10)(01:05:22)-Eddie’s performing via pillow fluffing (4x13)(01:09:32)-Buck snoring on Eddie’s couch while Eddie recovers (4x14)(01:14:07)-Taylor finding comfort in Buck (5x09)(01:16:38)-Taylor moves in with her wrong blue couch (5x13)(01:24:47)-Eddie’s couch nightmare & heart to heart with Bobby (5x14)(01:27:43)-Buck, Taylor, Hen & Chimney’s Jonah Discovery (5x17)(01:30:02)-Taylor moving out paves the way for Couch Theory (5x18)(01:34:15)-Buck doesn’t even have a couch!
