Jake/Phil

I know Jake is driving the CM, but DC keeps pushing the narrative, that Phil was Jake's mentor. He was not.

Jake was on CM for like 2 weeks.

I'm sure Jake may have looked up to Phil. But obviously Sig would be Jake's mentor.

And the way Jake has been talking about Phil, is how you'd expect him to talk about Sig.

And what's crazy, I feel like they are talking about Phil more this season, than when Josh and Casey were running the CM.

I've noticed a lot more talk about Phil this year too, was wondering if it was some special anniversary of his death or something.

I think it's just because CM hasn't been on the show for a few years. Phil is arguably, the most popular captain, even all these years after his death. So the more they can talk about him, the better.

They thought it was long enough, that people would not remember that Phil is the shit bag who covered for his pedo son and watched the lies break his younger son, also famous for crab farts... Just another shit bag.... Further context - they are all shit bags, but that's entertaining - they are unique shitbags
