This is Talking Walking Dead, a very special edition of Talking Walking Dead, Saturday Night Dead
Starting point is 00:01:23 with Brad Stags, Jason Butchell, and Sean Foster. We'd like to thank you for coming along for the ride today. And just as a, let's have a feel for the podcast of this special presentation. We'll let you intro, Talking, Walking Dead. That sounds so good. I know. Like stereo. I know.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Sounds great. Wow. We should just stop now. Did you just stop now? That was the ringtone. You can get it from the app and we're good. Wow, that sounded really good. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:09 So, why am I sounding like a... I don't know. That's a good question. Why am I sounding so hollow? I don't understand what the hello. Sounds good now. There you go. Now it's much better. Now we can't hear you at all.
Starting point is 00:02:22 That's much better. That's much, much better then. One of the things that, you know, every week on the podcast, talking Walking Dead, we discuss the specific episode and look to the future. And since season seven just ended last week, I kind of wanted to get together for a special broadcast and kind of wrap up the season seven and also look back at all the talking walking deads and all the walking dead programs
Starting point is 00:02:48 and kind of get a feel for what the future is going to bring. And I think the future still looks bright for at least a couple more seasons, especially after this last year. This last year's season was tremendous. But I remember, it was actually my wife, sadly, said, you know. Which one?
Starting point is 00:03:07 The first. No, the second one. The second one said to me that one went up on Netflix, because I didn't watch it in the beginning. In the beginning, I was like, you know, it was on AMC, and I figured out was another zombie show. I didn't get the feel for it. So it goes up on Netflix, and my wife says,
Starting point is 00:03:26 you know, you ought to watch that. And I thought, she's usually pretty good about what I would like. So I remember going upstairs and I said, I watched the first episode. I didn't come downstairs for the entire weekend. I mean, I went through every episode. That was a total walking dead binge. And I was hooked. It was only the first season that was?
Starting point is 00:03:48 I think it was the first two. I remember. I think that was about the same with me. I think the first two seasons. I mean, it just, it was a binge weekend. Yeah. There was no question about that. If you'd like to participate tonight with Brad Staggs, Jason Butchrell, or Sean Foster,
Starting point is 00:04:03 you can do so by Dowling 888-903-33, or on Twitter, you can tweet with the hashtag Talking Walking Dead. Thank you. Thank you. We're using our own hashtag tonight. I feel so like grown up. Huh? This is nice. I know. It's a little bit better than just that silly old
Starting point is 00:04:24 podcast. I know that's a thing or whatever that is. You know, that weekly thing we do that has no time limit. Now we have to follow an actual clock. Can't cuss either. It's radio. I know. Well, you can. You can. You can. Just get in trouble. You just get your stuff and get it. out. Oh, I didn't know that. Now I'm suddenly very, very nervous about this coming.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Well, yeah. So what got you hooked, Mr. Butrell? I've always been a big zombie fan. I didn't wait. Like, I started watching it from the get-go. So season one, episode one, I started watching. And I didn't even know about, I didn't know it was based off of graphic novels. But then when I found that out, then I got into some of the graphic novels, I didn't read it. I mean, you know, there's that whole comic book nerd thing. I know. You know, you can't go full nerd. What's? Wow. And I figured comics was going that, but now I have read.
Starting point is 00:05:16 So I was going to say, so now you've read them all. I've gone full nerd. Yeah, yeah, yeah, now I have. But so, yeah, I started watching it. But it wasn't your typical zombie flick. And that's what kept me watching it. Like, if it was any, your regular, like, I don't know, like, what's the name of that? Night of the Living Dead?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Yeah, who does those? What's his name? Gosh, what's his name? Bruce Campbell? No. I can't remember his name. But that guy that does all the zombie movies. It wasn't your typical zombie movie like that.
Starting point is 00:05:41 It wasn't just for the gore, the crazy scene where the guy splits open a zombie. Although they added some of that. But it was more of when you started to see that the Walking Dead was not even actually about the walkers. The Walking Dead were the people. And so that's kind of when I got hooked. And the storytelling was just amazing. Yeah. That's what most people don't.
Starting point is 00:05:59 People who are not fans of the show don't understand. It's not a show about zombies. Yeah. It's a show about what you would do. take the zombies out and put any other apocalyptic element in there. It's about what people do when they're faced with what seems like no hope. And they've gone to the point where they actually have taken the zombies out of the show now. It's getting to that point where we don't really know there's zombies around anymore.
Starting point is 00:06:22 It's all about the characters. The walkers have become second nature. There's no question about that. Yeah, yeah. There's those walkers too. We have to take care of it. I mean, they've learned how to hurt them up and use them to your advantage if you can. But that kind of worries me, though, as far as like,
Starting point is 00:06:37 Like, you can only, like, can you, is there, is it possible to find a better bad guy than Negan? Is it possible? Oh, yeah. I mean, I think so. So the next, I won't spoil that too far, but the next, the next round of bad guys, they're pretty bad. But I still don't think they've taught Negan. So, like, they can only do that so many times. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I just, it worries me about the future. I don't know. Kirkman's awesome, and he might be able to pull it off. But. They say they've planned for, what, 12? 13 seasons? Yeah, 12 to 13 seasons. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I believe. And what are the... Then AMC will pick up? They're not... No, AMC has not picked it up. As long as they continue getting numbers, and as long as they're advertisers and there's too many commercials
Starting point is 00:07:19 when you guys watch the show, they'll keep it on. That's an excellent point. So did you start from the beginning? Yes, I started from the beginning. Really? AMC, show one. Yep.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And it just, it's the same thing that hooked me. It's the zombies and the characters and just knowing that, where is this going to go? Like Jason said, It's not something where it's a typical zombie show. It just took it a different direction, and the character build was awesome. And, you know, going off of that, I normally my wife would not watch stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I've tried to get her into it. She'll actually suffer through maybe a couple of these, which normally, that's going way beyond what she normally would. But just in saying that, I mean, you think about how many people this show has converted, that normally wouldn't watch this type of show. Like, tons of people. Like, even the people that watch this show won't watch some of those other zombie movies out there. Right. But that's huge for what they've accomplished.
Starting point is 00:08:08 But then they have episodes like the first one of this season that filter out the riffraff. Because a lot of people. Yeah, the first one is season seven. And we'll get to that. I don't want it. Spoilers. For those of you concerned, I know. We're doing Facebook Lives also at the top of each hour here on our Saturday night,
Starting point is 00:08:24 Talking Walking Dead special Saturday night. I'll wear a very nice t-shirts. And we are. We are wearing very nice T-shirts. And that's what we're here for. Actually, we're here to Hawk T-T-shirts. Go to jeffy-F-F-Y-F-F-Y-S-H-H-E. and buy a t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Now the Talking Walking Dead, white or black. Or else we won't like you anymore. And that's all we're here for. It's just buy a T-shirt. If you buy a T-shirt, we'll put you on the air. You buy a T-shirt and you call 888-9-0-33-93 and we'll put you on the air. No problem. Piece of cake.
Starting point is 00:08:53 You know, I was actually opposite for myself. You know, I watched it. My wife was like the one that said, you know, you probably need to watch this. Scary how well she does you. And then, I know. And then after, I think, three or four, she was gone. All right, I haven't know. And so...
Starting point is 00:09:13 She wasn't a real fan. I was all alone. George Romero. Yes. Rocky with an eye. Also, if you guys want to tweet, hashtag talking walking dead. But Rocky with an eye, at Rocky with an eye, said it is George Romero. So thanks at Rocky with an eye.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I think George Romero just recently died, didn't he? Oh, no. So he could be a... I think you're right. He could now be a walker, officially. Well, he's, according to this, he's 77 years of age and alive and doing well. So I'm just saying it comes as a... It was Don Rickles that just died.
Starting point is 00:09:48 George Romero. Don Rickles. What's the difference? What's the difference? Did you apologize to George? Because George was like, no. George, sorry about that one time at the party where I spilled that thing. It was, that was, oh, not that apology?
Starting point is 00:10:01 Oh, sorry. Different apology. No, yeah, a different apology. Jeffie, at Steve Brian O'1 wants to know how do I win one of these awesome t-shirts? Well, we'll figure that out as the evening goes on. I haven't figured out just exactly what task I'm going to make you do to win a shirt.
Starting point is 00:10:17 But we'll just leave it at that. There will be a task that you must do to win one of these shirts. I'm just not giving these away higgly-piggly. No. These shirts are worth something. Yes, we can make money on them. Talking Walking Dead t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah. And it looks as though the blood is. real on him too. I'll have you know. It's not real blood, though. You don't have to... It's not real blood. It looks very, but it's not. Scared me at first. All right, so we'll
Starting point is 00:10:47 take a break, and we'll come back, and we'll continue with our special Talking Walking Dead broadcast Saturday Night, Dad.

Myself, Jeff Fisher, Brad Stags, Jason Butchell, Sean Foster, and that's it.
Starting point is 00:12:07 We're just talking walking dead, baby. You can usually hear the podcast weekly if you go to the blaze.com slash radio under the Jeff Fisher Radio program. You can even see it on your channel on the place. That's right. We have been doing the vidcast, and I believe they're all finally up. After a little. It doesn't get much better than actually viewing. Well, if your computer spit $20 bills at you while you were watching it, that would be better.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yes, it would. But short of that. Let's go to Chuck. Chuck calling on our 888-9033-93 line. Chuck in Florida, how are you, sir? Greetings, talking walkers. How is everybody tonight? Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:12:50 What's up? I have a note here that you worked on. The Tiger, is that right? Well, I didn't work on the Tiger. Actually, I had some insider info on the set and how that all came together, but I'm pretty sure there's a hashtag out there. I'm going to retweet it later from a woman who was very, very concerned about the actor's safety in working with the tiger.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Apparently, there was rumors that she had found out people had actually died on the set when they were making that episode. They let the cat out of the bag. It was very terrible. Thank you. Be here all week. Right. No, I promise you this woman was deadly sincere from the notes that I read. However, you know, it could have been one of those fake news stories.
Starting point is 00:13:34 What? Well, they do have the own. In all seriousness, I want to give a shout out to all the people on the set that worked in Florida this year. There was some actual Florida participation in a lot of the episodes, friends and colleagues that I've worked with on other movie sets that got to be walkers and we even had a little walking in a viewing party yeah. Jeffie, you were in the wrong place
Starting point is 00:14:00 at the wrong time. I told him and told him every time I tweeted out Jeffie, you got to get your butt back to Florida so we can make you a walker. That pisses me off. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that upsets me. But
Starting point is 00:14:16 that's okay. AMC, that's fine. Don't worry about it. AMC is missing out. You know, they're filming in Mexico now for the what is that second? Yeah, the fear. Yeah, the fear of Walking Dead is actually filming in Mexico, and
Starting point is 00:14:30 you know, I understand they've got some new stuff coming up this season that kind of more brutal, so we'll see. Bruttle good or brutal bad? Because last year was brutal and it was about the bad side. So I am a little concerned that
Starting point is 00:14:47 while fear is a little bit earlier in the apocalypse world, so there will be more, you know, overweight walkers. I'd have to think twice about possibly becoming a walker on fear, because I think there should still be,
Starting point is 00:15:05 you know, there's a couple of overweight people still. Still, what's his name? The King's partner? Oh, yeah, Jason, right? Is it Jared, Jeff, what is this guy? Oh, Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. It pleases him indeed.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Jerry. Best line of the season Like a third tier character So great Oh Jerry is not a third Jerry is moving up He's at least a second tier It leads second now
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah I mean even with even with That even with what line It pleases him indeed With the king just continuing to Jerry where's Jerry He's always Jerry Jerry's in the back joking around With somebody Jerry
Starting point is 00:15:50 Eat and hobbler do it. The most random stuff like that. Put the cobbler down. Sorry, boss. By the way, guys, I am a proud owner of a talking walking dead t-shirt. As soon as I receive it in the mail, it's been delayed.
Starting point is 00:16:03 But I'm assured that I will get my talking walking dead t-shirt and wear it proudly. There must have been some weather damage or something that happened to the shipping. Hurricane. Tornado. Sharknato. Earthquake. Sharknato.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Earthquake, something. All right, thanks, Chuck. Appreciate it. Thanks, guys. Have a great one. Love your show. Andy in Missouri. Andy, you are on the Blaze Radio Networks talking, walking dead. How are you, sir? Gentlemen, I am excited to be on the phone with y'all.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Thank you. We're excited right back at you. Big time, big time fans of the show, following it day one. I have a question because I do not follow the comic books at all, never read one, never looked at one. Did they, was Jesus gay in the comic books, or was that something they did to appease the masses? I think recently. According to my expert
Starting point is 00:16:54 in the other room, he was. Our head researcher. Our head researcher from the graphic novels. I believe he was. He was. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yes, he was gay in the comics. And that's our, that's our researcher right there. Andy, I didn't realize that we were going to let him speak. Yeah. And I'll be real with you, my wife was pretty upset when she found that out,
Starting point is 00:17:17 because I think she has, I think she's been shipping with, Jesus for a while in the sense of that's her man crush and man whenever she found that out like that was worth in any death it's been on the show but it is it is the apocalypse basically so he could flip it anytime right and and I'll be real you can't be choosing the apocalypse story for different time I'm glad you all could figure that out for me though that's killing me and God knows I'm not reading all the comic books to figure that out I yeah you don't want to get caught out man thank you next I'm gonna say he's a Democrat
Starting point is 00:17:49 So, you know, Jason, you were talking about how you then became a geek out and went to the comic books and the graphic novels. Our head researcher, who I'm joking around about, is my youngest son who's, I got to know how old he is. He's 27. Is that a really? Yeah. You should kick him out of the house, but that's my other kid. No, he's, he's 46. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Man, I got to kick this one out. Time is going by faster than you think. You aren't lying. So anyway, he's been. He's been on me forever to watch The Walking Dead, and I have said no. And so then he decided to go behind my back, and he's read all the comic books now, all the, he's up-to-date, bypass television. So he's like, so what's happening in the television show now?
Starting point is 00:18:38 So what's happening in the television show now? Because I know what's happened in the comic books, want me to tell you. Which is surprising since you usually have such uttering complete control over your offspring. Right? I know. It amazes me that he is. Well, me too, Brad, and I'm hurt. I can understand that.
Starting point is 00:18:55 One of the amazing things, actually, about the comics and what they've been trying to do in the show is they've been doing, like, specific, like, call-outs to the comics. Like, some of the scenes are directly taken from the comics, which is really cool. Like, the lineups, I think both lineups, taking directly out of the comic books. The original one were, oh, gosh, now I'm blanking on his name.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Good guy. Gosh, Maggie's husband. Glenn. Good gosh. When Glenn got hit, exactly, with his eye coming out and everything, exactly taken from the comics. But there's plenty of characters that are really different.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah, they're different, but sometimes, even still, like, there's a scene in the season finale when they had Mishone. I think that was actually Andrea. Yes, in the novels. So, yeah, so it's very specific, like they... According to my expert, that's correct. He gives it a thumbs up. I think there are just such dramatic peaks in the story arc in the comics that they couldn't veer from those, like the Glenn eyeball thing.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I mean, that is such an iconic piece or a part of the puzzle from the comics. You couldn't really veer from that because I think it would have spoiled the flavor. I think you're absolutely right. Brad, I agree with you. Did I say something? 100%? You did. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:12 You did. I'm going home now. Fantastic. Carl's eye. scooby snack Carl's eye Sean just brought up on his computer
Starting point is 00:20:19 that was also taken directly from the comics right oh you know what they left out which I'm glad they did I think you
Starting point is 00:20:25 I know what you're gonna say Rick's hands yes yes so glad they left that out didn't so are they said that was a mistake he did but I think they
Starting point is 00:20:33 they opted for that I believe in the beginning because they thought it would be too much of a hassle to shoot around and make it happen with only one hand
Starting point is 00:20:42 like the CGI Tiger yeah or Herschel's leg maybe that's what they did in, but was Herschel in the comics? He was in the, did he lose his leg in the comics? Ah, so that's what they did.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah, leg for an arm. This is a special talking, walking dead on the Blaze Radio Network. 888-90-33-93. It is presidential. It's for the king, and it pleases him, I believe. Indeed. 888-90-33-93 on the Blaze Radio
Starting point is 00:21:15 Network. listening to a special presentation from the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome back to Talking Walking Dead. It is a special tonight. We are all special. And so are you. Thank you very much. I wasn't fishing, but I'll take that as a compliment. The details. Yeah. You can participate in the broadcast. 888-90-33 is the phone number. And we also can participate. And you can participate as well on the Twitter. And the Twitter would be hashtag Talking Walking Dead. And I'm told there's some participatory. in the hashtag talking walking dead department.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Chrissy at Chrissy MC 1211 has a question. Question. Who is each of your favorite character and why? We were just talking about that off the year too. That's so funny. Why don't you leave with that, Sean? My favorite character for the season is Negan right now. I think I'm just watching his character arc.
Starting point is 00:22:37 I wrote down just like sign of him killing Daryl, I mean killing Glenn and Abraham, him sitting down with Carl. at the dinner table. Him even talking to Kahn just saying that, Carl, you know, you're a little psychotic like me, I like you. It's just... A little future serial killer. Yeah, he's just an interesting character right now,
Starting point is 00:22:56 and I just really like the way direction they're bringing him in. Overall? Overall. Yeah, we've got Negan this season. Overall? I think Mishone. Just the way you introduced it. Just the way they introduce her from the comics,
Starting point is 00:23:12 and even in the show. It's because her hair is like yours, isn't it? I'm completely not like mine, but I'm just going to... That's exactly like you. I guess I'll be the token and I'll, yes, yes. She has great hair like mine. Except she's wearing a wig. I knew it.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I knew it. It was really cool how they did bring her in. No question. She has a katana. Like, you cannot, I mean, it's great. And the way she bought her character and just the whole walking around with the zombies, I think when the character was introduced, you're like, Holy cow, who is this?
Starting point is 00:23:47 With the slaves and stuff. Yeah, she was great. Which I think is part of the reason why she and Rick have no chemistry, actually. She's two alpha. She's very, very alpha character. Rick is a very alpha character. I just don't think two alphas. Because if you look at Sasha and Abraham, great chemistry.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Totally great chemistry. So it's not a black-white thing. It is a... I wasn't going to say black or white thing. I don't have to go to that. saw it in your eyes, you were about to bring it up. It always comes back. Black and the white.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Always, always comes back to that. Why do you hate me? Sasha's kind of an alpha as well, though. Well, first of all, most of the people, look. If you're around your alpha. Yeah, if you're a survivor. Unless you came from Alexandria. You're some kind of, you are some kind of quasi-alpha, human being,
Starting point is 00:24:38 to have survived into the seventh season. Or you have a really good agent. Or you have a really good agent. really good agent and and you know like Daryl for instance who has a really good agent because he's not even in the comic books a really really gonna create a character and then he's gonna make it so darn good you're not gonna be able to get rid of him and speaking of that he's got to be my favorite character besides Rick because that's just an easy one but Daryl has been one of the reasons to
Starting point is 00:25:04 watch and and that's probably why he's so safe I mean there's really only two untouchables that you know we're not going to die that they really cannot mess with and that's Carl and that's Rick Coral Can not be can know you can't you can't go there's only so far you go with coral and there's only so far you can go with Rick But Darrell he could be killed at any point he really could because he's not supposed to exist but they can't because you can imagine the millions of people that would be pissed off right But he's such an awesome is his character development from the very beginning to like this this like bigoted you know like old boy you know good old boy To this really like you know deep and thought out character and also a total bad a I mean And notice how I did that?
Starting point is 00:25:46 I didn't know how far I can push this. I was playing it very much. Bade is fine. Sounds French almost. Who's a good little boy you are? I really don't know who. I really don't know who my favorite character is. I want to, like you say, Rick is easy.
Starting point is 00:26:05 But he's ticked me. They made me so mad at his character this year. I mean, just so frustrated with his character this year. this whole season. And not only this year in the prison. Remember that whole season? Oh yeah, we went crazy talking on the phone? Oh my gosh. Wanted to be a pig farmer?
Starting point is 00:26:23 Oh. Garden in. He was gardening. What am I? I forgot about that too. Holy cow. That's why I'm the show. If we go back to that's actually a pretty good point.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I can bring it back to that. It reminds me. But if you go back to the earlier episodes now, we were just looking at some of the earlier episodes and how fast they are, how fast they went. Like, this season was, what, 16 16 episodes. And the first season was, what, six or eight?
Starting point is 00:26:51 Six episodes. Six episodes. So you felt like the binge on Netflix wasn't that long. I was like, oh, season one's over? Season two was 13. Yeah, see, they started to realize that they had something. And then from there on, it was 16. They were averaging around 12 to 13 million viewers per episode.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Yeah. That's insane. In today's world, that's great. Good gosh. But they were saying, you know, Obviously, I think some of the last episodes were 10. Well, and we'll get to the ratings thing coming up later. They're going to break them down for us. Well, they did. I mean, it's pretty amazing what they've been able to do.
Starting point is 00:27:26 We didn't get them down for us next hour. We didn't get your favorite. Jeffie? Yeah, you didn't. Who was your favorite? I don't know. I don't know. Everyone that I really liked is already dead.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I'm really disappointed on that. There was some cool. characters that were dead. He liked Tea Dog. Tea Dog was cool. Tea Dog was underdeveloped. Right? Totally underdeveloped.
Starting point is 00:27:52 As in he was short? No. He may have been short. But he was just an underdeveloped character because he died in season two, right? Seriously, are you drinking? Wow. I'm starting to smell it on his breath.
Starting point is 00:28:11 He was just an underdeveloped. I mean, he never really had a chance to blossom, as it were. I'm sure he felt that way, too, when you talk to him. As soon as the paycheck stopped coming, yes, I guarantee you. He thought, God, gone it. They didn't only just overdeveloped my character a little bit more. So are you going with T-Dogs your favorite? No.
Starting point is 00:28:34 So who is it? No. I'll stick. Oh, wow. Stumped. I wish you guys could. see Jeffey's face right now. I can't I can't decide. Good gosh. I think it's Negan.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Wow. Okay. That's so easy. I thought you had more depth than that. Okay, too, Doug. You happy? You're happy now? Much better. All right, thank you. Much better. It is a tough one.
Starting point is 00:29:00 888-90333 is the phone number if you'd like to participate. They're listening to a special Talking Walking Dead on the Blaze Radio Network. Saturday night, Dead. Talking Walking Dead, that is. Brad Stags, Jason Butchell, Sean Foster here. You normally hear us on the podcast that you can download every week
Starting point is 00:29:19 after Walking Dead episode posted on Monday evening, and we decided, you know what, season seven is over. We've lasted seven seasons, and the podcast has been going, what, four, anyway, four seasons, something like that. And I just wanted to, you know, have a little fun
Starting point is 00:29:35 on a Saturday night on the Blaze Radio Network, a little fun and frivolity. And, you know, it's something that would, you know, make T-Dog happy. Exactly. And now this is it. This is it. We haven't given away the T-shirt. I have an idea for the T-shirt, by the way.
Starting point is 00:29:49 You want to talk it out on the air? There are multiple people asking about how they can win a prize. Well, I think that if we, something like how far it is from X to Y, the first person that treats that, you know, first one that we see, anyway, that distance. I'll tell you what. Dial 888-90-9-0-33. Get on the phone and dial in. All right. Get on hold.
Starting point is 00:30:17 And then I'll ask a question. And we'll go through the phone callers. Until somebody Googles the right answer. Until someone Googles the right answer. Yep. That's funny. But I know. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:30:30 You know, back at the old radio. There wasn't Google. You know how long it took to get to the Encyclopedia Britannica on the shelf? Open it up, flip through the pages, find the end. answer. And still be on the air? And still be on the air. Because the cord only stretched so far. Right. You had to set the phone down while the host was talking. Times are a change in. Big time. Who is yours, Brett? You were about to say. I'm with you, Daryl, because he is. He is. He is. He is. He is the quintessential just, he's the guy you want to be behind in any fight. He sure is. Yeah, he is. You're in a bar fight? You want Daryl next to you. He says loyal. He knows how to fight. I mean, he's
Starting point is 00:31:09 He's sensitive? He was raised. You saw where he was raised. I mean, he was raised by the damn drug dealer brothers and drug dads. And he overcame all of that. And they, and during the, when the apocalypse came,
Starting point is 00:31:22 he made him realize, I'm actually worth something. It's a pretty good character. Yeah. It's a pretty darn good character. You're right. So thanks for stealing my thunder before I actually. No,
Starting point is 00:31:33 you're right, though. That, Daryl is. He's no tea dog, but he's close. I mean, no one is tea dog. except for teed dog let's be clear uh we're reading tweets uh the hashtag hashtag hashtag talking walking dead just sent to chamberlain at j j chamberlain says let's talk about jadis
Starting point is 00:31:51 and her lie with him after comment and michone's face afterwards we can talk about jadis i was kind of saving uh uh season seven for the last hour we get in depth on season seven but if you uh i mean tell you well let's take a break uh here on the Blaze Radio Network because if I get started on Jadis, then it's going to take us down a whole other road that I don't necessarily want to go down yet. And so you can hashtag it at Talking Walking Dead. We will get to the Jadis
Starting point is 00:32:21 question and her betrayal of our group, which it was. What do you think she smells like? She's a garbage pale kid. You think she smells like. Oh, this is a good one. Rock with an eye says my favorite character is Carol.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Rock with an eye. She's come the farthest from Meek, Beaton Wyatt to Total Bad A. I completely agree. Carol is one of my favorite. Carol is really good. Carol's a strong character. But they did the same thing to Carol that they did with Rick.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Yep. Yep. And I don't understand it. I just don't. And they didn't do it. They haven't done it with Daryl. They tried a couple of times with his little, you know, go off the beaten path, burn the house down episodes.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Oh yeah, with With what's her face, yeah, Beth. And they tried that a little, but it didn't, they didn't go at it any farther, but they sure went a long way with Carol and Rick going down that crazy, got to get away. But in defense of that, although Carol did have the abusive husband,
Starting point is 00:33:28 Rick spent his whole life trying to keep law and order and be on one side of the thin blue line, essentially, and then the whole world just flips upside down. So, I don't know, it seems justified that he would have those meltdowns. Rick? Yeah. Yeah, well, Rick, I think Rick would be completely different if he didn't have old coral. Coral.
Starting point is 00:33:51 If he didn't have coral, then I think he would be completely the Rick that we actually love. Essentially PTSD, what he had, I mean, I would think. Yeah, well, I think he's dialing it back because he doesn't want Rick, basically, He doesn't want Carl to turn into, you know, Negan. No. Or the governor. Too late. Or the governor.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Too late. Right. But. 888-90-3033 is the phone number. If you'd like to participate, we'll be right back after this on the Blaze Radio Network. Talking Walk. The Blaze Radio Network. That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Welcome to a Talking Walking Dead on the Blaze Radio Network. Boy, we're continuing the conversation even through the breaks. It's so fascinating. so many questions. You can tweet us hashtag Talking Walking Dead. We're communicating with people there. We're communicating with people over the telephone. 1-888-90-33. Bradstags, Jason Butchall, Sean Foster, and myself, Jeff Fisher. Special Saturday Night Dead, Talking Walking Dead on the Blaze Radio Network. We have a question from our hashtag Talking Walking Dead. Matthew Vermillion says, was Rick and Michone together in the comics? Hashtad Talking Walking Dead.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Now, Matt is playing nicely in the sandbox because he tweeted with the hashtag, and then we look over at the phone screen. There he is. Oh, my gosh. Playing both ways. Matt in Oklahoma, welcome to the broadcast. How are you, sir? I am doing great.
Starting point is 00:35:37 How about yourself? Very good. Thanks for playing nicely in the sandbox with the other kids. Hashtagging that music, the phone. No better way to spend a Saturday night. That's right. Exactly. What's your question, sir?
Starting point is 00:35:49 So the question was, is Michone and Rick really together in the comics, and not just on the show? Like you say, I think they've tried to force them two together, but kind of a weird chemistry. It is a very weird chemistry, and you are absolutely right, Matt, about that. I mean, at least for all of us here, the chemistry has been forced upon us, and it just doesn't feel good. Let's go to our researcher, head researcher, and investigator to the comic books and the graphic novels in the other room. Michone and Rick are they together in the comic books? They are not. Mishon and Bebebebeh.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Mishone is with Ezekiel in the comics and Rick is with Andrea who is still alive in the comics. Wow, that's good. They have the same hair. So there you go. That's a strong question. Now, Matt, since you've played nicely in the sandbox and you've hashtagged us and you've phoned us,
Starting point is 00:36:47 Brad Staggs has a question for you. If you can answer this question, you are going to win a t-shirt, a Talking Walking Dead t-shirt. You ready? Here's the question. What distance in miles is it from Atlanta to Washington, D.C.? Oh, my gosh. Come on, this is an easy one. That's where they traveled.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Yeah. They traveled from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. Does he have to mail it exactly? And when Matt says he's thinking, it means he's. thinking, it means he's Googling as quickly if he's possible to can. I'm really thinking about the mileage. The price is right numbers, too. Are you typing? Are you able to get to Google?
Starting point is 00:37:28 Throw something out there. I don't know a estimate. I'm not going to guess them at 500 miles. The price is right. That's not bad, though. He's within 150. I say we give it to him. Hey! Within 150? Well, yeah, why not? Besides, there's the music. We're out of time.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Congratulations, man. You've wanted. T-shirt, a Talking Walking Dead T-shirt. More to come on the Blaze Radio Network on a special Saturday night Talking Walking Dead. More of this special presentation continues next on the Blaze Radio Network.
