The Oh, Welcome to the Fargo Podcast, the officially unofficial podcast for Fargo on FX Hulu, I'm Jim.

I'm A-R-N. And today we're talking about season 5 episode 6, the tender trap.

A-ron. Tender, when I hear the word tender what comes to my mind is either a steak or money and I feel like

the money trap the money pit is a pretty accurate description of most strip clubs

I was I saw this joke on tic-talk about

Was it the drummer boy that talks about an infant so tender and mild and it's like

the existence of an infant tender and mild implies the existence of an infant tough

and spicy. Yeah, yeah, tender, the tender trap.

I looked into this a little bit and apparently this is a Frank Sinatra song that was featured in a movie where he

starred alongside Princess Leah's mom Debbie Reynolds and it's interesting because it sets the theme or it's it's it's it's

explores a lot of the themes that this this season as a whole is exploring and that you got Frank Sinatra who's kind of a fuck boy and you've got Debbie Reynolds who is like a young actress and she's got her life planned out that she's going to retire at 22 and then become like a dutiful baby-making carefree housewife from that point forward and it's dovetailed with another romantic comedy pair. I forget who these

actor and actresses is but he's the friend of Frank Sinatra who has just been married.

He got married young and is in like an 11 year marriage and he's miserable in it and he's jealous of

Frank Sinatra's jet setting fuck boy ways and a a 30-year-old woman on the verge of being a spinster is kind of falling for him

and it's this kind of like, you know, examination of like standard gender roles and

whatnot and it feels like a lot of things that this show is doing not not necessarily in the margins but in this kind of weird front and center way

And that and that Frank Sincher says the love in fact is the tender trap.

The love. All right. Frank Sinatra like the steak though. Let's not get it

twisted. It's true. The man loved the good steak. Yeah.

And Martini. All right yeah that applies you know to pretty directly to some of the stuff we see in this episode,

and throughout the series, I think.

But maybe we should get into it.
