Emmy asks 'Who is this for?' and the hosts derail into a debate about whether ocean water is dinosaur pee.
The episode opens with hosts introducing What If? season 3 episode 6 '1872', a wild western adventure featuring Kate Bishop and Shang-Chi teaming up with baby Iron Fist. They give a spoiler warning and express initial boredom with the concept, feeling it was randomly assembled. Brandon provides a more detailed critique, praising the political undertones, fight scenes, and visual moments but noting it suffers from typical What If? tropes of cramming ideas. He highlights the intriguing cliffhanger where other Watchers confront the main Watcher, setting up the next episode 'What If the Watcher Disappeared?'. Keith shares his thoughts, loving Shang-Chi and Kate Bishop as characters and the Western genre but finding the story lacking and dragged, though he liked the sister's ghostly powers. Emmy is saved for last, and her contribution is minimal at first, leading to humorous confusion from the hosts. When prompted, Emmy bluntly asks 'Who is this for?', criticizing the episode as something only happy Disney nerds would enjoy. This sparks a chaotic tangent where the hosts joke about throwing random elements like Batman or Walton Goggins into episodes. The conversation derails into a humorous debate about whether ocean water is dinosaur pee, with absurd extensions about semen and crackers. Eventually, they refocus on the Watcher storyline, teasing the next episode's plot about the Watcher disappearing due to interference. They praise Emmy's spiraling patience throughout the series and promote the video version for patrons. The episode closes with a tease for the next podcast and an invitation to 'fight me'.
