This is a special
presentation from the Blaze Radio Network.
Deegan, not Megan.
All right, we're just talking to our Facebook, friends.
Talking Walking Dead on the Blaze Radio
Network. Welcome to it.
A very special Talking Walking Dead tonight.
We are Facebook
living. We are hashtagging.
talking walking dead. Brad Staggs, Jason Butchrill, Sean Foster, a very special talking,
walking dead on the Blaze Radio Network.
Can we talk now? Yeah, you can talk now. I was waving goodbye to the Facebook Live fans.
Wow. Clearly, Jeff Fisher is a greatest manipulator of all time to facilitate these resources.
I'm very local podcast development for such an endeavor.
Thank you. It was nice of my dad to be watching.
Yes, exactly.
Check in the mail.
All right, season seven.
We have been in some heated discussions tonight off air about particular episodes, about particular characters,
and they all led us to season seven, which is where we're at, which ended last week.
Yes.
Gosh, man.
It's season seven, while it went by fast, seemed like a long season.
Now, sitting here now, thinking.
Thinking back on season seven, I'm thinking, that was a long season.
Yeah, but when we were doing the podcast, you guys were all,
this is going by so slow.
There's nothing happening.
Did I say that?
That was Jason.
It was because the first half of the season, they were dragging everything.
He doesn't like character development.
He does not like character development.
That's because he's not deep as a human.
Loadouts.
That's what he cares about is load out.
Loadout and details over here.
Character development.
Maybe we're going to have one more episode where someone goes.
goes off and like meditates with a Tibetan monk and decides they don't want to kill people anymore.
Maybe we have a few more of those freaking episodes and you guys would be happy.
How about that?
Wow.
Wow. I'm telling you.
How about it?
The world is getting bigger.
I'll tell you something, Jason.
Okay?
This is between you and me right now.
Just you and I love you.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
But you need to get with the wife and somebody needs to do your yard work, all right?
Oh.
Because this is throwing you all out of whack, man.
That's a day.
Seriously.
This is throwing you all out of whack.
Maybe that's what did it.
I don't know.
Heat stroke or something like that.
Yeah, you need to, I mean, if you need me to call and talk to her, man, I'm happy to.
Look at this.
All right, so season seven, here we go.
Very fascinating.
I know we've had plenty of jokes and just all kinds of horrific statements and how the ratings were.
Brad, do you have a rundown of some of the ratings from this year?
we talked about how they kept saying, well, the ratings are down.
And that first episode with Negan batting people in the head and killing them was so violent and horrific that the ratings went down and nobody's watching.
And then we find out that, oh, maybe that's kind of true, but not really.
Yeah, sort of kind of.
And as soon as the Internet comes back up, here we go.
They did.
I stretched.
I know.
You've got to stretch a little bit more.
Honey, is that you?
Hey, I'm working on it.
Hang on a minute.
Basically, they broke some pretty intense ratings records this season on the Walking Dead.
Not only on the Walking Dead, but on the Talking Dead.
Yes.
Their talk show.
Well, Talking Dead is the number one talk show.
Yeah.
But that's kind of a, that's kind of a, well, that's great.
And I appreciate what they do on that show.
And I love At Nerdist.
He really is a fascinating character in his own right
But that is a time slot hit
That is a time slot hit
It drops off about by half, sometimes more
So if they get a 10 or 11 million
Watching Dead
He's happy with three
Sticking around for talking
Okay stop stretching now because I got the internet back up
Okay
And it's also just just
just easy money for AMC, so that show will never go away.
And I will say that they pissed me off the last two shows of Walking Dead
because they wanted their new show to be so good.
They forced people to watch it.
Oh, yeah.
So they moved to Talking Dead to after the new show so that people had to stick around for the new show.
What was it called?
Into the Badlands.
Yeah, Into the Badlands.
Which isn't a bad show.
Okay, but that's not my point.
Right.
Especially for the season finale.
Sorry, I never said that.
Good.
Yes.
Good.
Because talking that it should have been.
Horrible show.
You're darn right it was.
It was a bad call.
Whoever made that call is agonizing.
She should be fired.
Thank you.
Matter of fact.
You have your internet back up or can I continue to go?
No, no, no.
I've got it now.
The show, The Walking Dead, just wrapped up its fifth consecutive season as the number
one show on television in the key demo of adults 18 to 49,
becoming the first drama series in history to do that.
Wow.
Congratulations.
They can talk all about the reading, fell off, and the radio.
But it's still kicking butt, it's still making money.
The season finale delivered 15.6 million total viewers based on Nielsen Live Plus 3.
And additionally, the Walking Dead, the Talking Dead show, finished as the number one talk show with season 7 averaging 4.9 million viewers.
Talking Dead does not, those shows irritate me.
They really do.
And the only reason I like to watch it.
As much as this one?
Well, this one's awesome.
That's like a word for the night.
Take back the shallow comments.
Load up, baby.
But we've talked about this before.
There's only so much they can say in those shows.
You know what I mean?
Like, they can't speculate.
There's only so much they can say.
And then we all.
That's all.
And then we always find out that they're all like Brits.
And that pisses me off.
It's like when I think someone's a cool.
And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, whoa.
Didn't we kick their butt in the Revolutionary War?
And they're still.
They're still.
They're still trying to invade.
Dude.
We let the Beatles come over and it ruined it after the 60s.
Seriously, guys, AMC, let's get some American actors in this thing show.
There are actually some American actors.
They are the walkers.
They're the herd.
You don't get to see them.
You don't know who they are.
Those are the Americans.
Yeah.
Michael Cudlitz.
He's American.
There's one.
There's one.
Is Carol?
I think Carol is Carol. I think Carol might be.
Sasha is.
Jeffrey Morgan.
Yeah, that's right.
Who, by the way, showed up in a couple episodes of Shameless.
So you know.
Nice.
He's everywhere.
I've been my new hooked show that I, for some reason, wasn't aware of at some point in time.
Until who told you about that one, huh?
Netflix.
Sorry, Brad.
I've just been hooked on Shameless, so Brad's throwing a this shameless hook on me because I'm like,
I've been jonesing on Shameless.
The bottom line is the Walking Dead is still kicking some serious tale, bringing in money.
It's going to be around for a number of years.
So tell us the record again.
It's the fifth consecutive season as the number one show in the key demo, adults 1849.
That is the money demo.
Fifth year in a row.
So they're good for at least another four or five years.
I mean, you can just pretty much double that.
They had 21 million on the season premiere.
21 million people watch it up.
That's insane.
It's going to be around for a while.
That's AMC.
That's cable numbers.
21 million?
I know.
Right.
And in today's,
and think of that,
even in,
you know,
when you look back at some of the bigger shows
that had more people watching them,
in today's world
with so many other options.
21 million is huge.
Yeah,
now there's 150 channels
and there's still nothing on.
Right.
You know what I'm saying,
Archie?
Thank you, Mr. Springsteen.
At Rocky with an eye on Twitter.
brings up, Stephen 7 was intense and two full of commercials in the middle.
Straight up, man.
In the middle, they got carried away.
I think they backed off.
I felt like they really heard from the fans.
Now, whether they cared or not, I mean, that could have been engineered that way.
It was like, what was it?
Some of those, was it the first half of season seven?
They had several of those hour and a half specials, just kind of out of nowhere.
Well, yeah.
But it was literally only 10 minutes more of content.
Well, and then the last part of the season seven for the last two or three episodes,
I think, and maybe not everyone,
but it seemed like every episode went long
at least a quarter hour,
you know, that 10, 12 after.
And that was...
Well, they had to fill more commercials in there.
They needed more money.
That's surprising.
That's what we were talking about.
I know, right?
Sorry, I was reading something here
that was more important than when you guys were saying.
What was that?
This is according to Scott Gimple,
episode 801,
the first episode, obviously, of
season 8, will be setting up,
it's less about reaching episode 100,
which is what it will be.
It's more about setting up the next 100 episodes.
Wow.
You know what?
I don't know that I like that.
Season 13, basically.
And Jason won't like it either, because he doesn't like,
yeah.
That's all.
That's a hundred episodes.
And show development.
He's going to hate it.
He's going to load out.
Robert Kirkman wants to do the show.
He wants it to last for at least 12 seasons.
What does he got?
He needs to send to school or something.
Most likely, yes, he still has to make a little money.
But as long as the thing doesn't jump to shark, which it doesn't, has not shown signs of doing yet.
No, it hasn't, but it's been.
Oh, they got close.
They got close.
I think so, too.
With the Glenn fake death scenes, like under the...
I think they got close with the Glenn fake death scene.
That pissed me off.
I think they got close with the Holmorgan one episode, a doctor whofu episode.
I think they got close with...
Wait, wait, wait, what?
You were behind that episode.
I love that episode, but I'm just telling you that that particular episode is those are the types of episodes that push shows to the brink.
So I was right.
That's basically what you said.
But did you say, no, we were talking about whether I enjoyed it.
I loved that.
The ratings for that one, the number of people watching that episode was huge.
And I liked it.
So the audience wants that.
And I like, no.
But they watched it because just before that was the glen.
Yes.
So they all wanted.
So they were like, oh, we're going to find something out.
We're going to find out.
Those were, and that's, I see what you're saying.
That was the jumping the sharp.
point.
You're assuming that.
You're assuming that that's what they're doing.
That's why.
That's why.
But it would be interesting to see how many, how much of the audience hung on through the
first 10 minutes.
Details.
You know, if that, if that was a, if it was a downward graph.
We'll call your friend at AMC and let's get the break out.
We'll break it out.
I'll get those numbers for you.
Have him next week.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
And then we had, uh, let's see where was I?
Even this season with the character, with each storyline, just playing out one, one location.
Yes.
Like that took too much time.
They're starting to force characters down our throat
instead of letting them grow
and letting the fans go, oh, we love that character.
Like who?
Like, what's her face, Preggers, that ended up
at the LGBTQ island.
Tara.
Terra.
Preggers?
I can't take her.
That's her nickname.
I can't take her.
She was, her entire episode was when she had just had a kid.
Yeah.
She's supposed to be there.
It's after the Holocaust.
They can't find food and Preggers is hopping around out there over the way.
They did.
They made to run down the beach.
Right.
It was like, oh no.
Come on.
Stop.
Yeah.
Stop.
That was just.
I mean, it's a weird.
That's embarrassing for all of us.
Yeah.
It really was.
Not that I would, and I continue to watch.
How many times did you watch it in slow motion?
Twice.
Okay.
Good.
I'll be ready.
Well, yeah, and season seven,
gave us the Daryl in prison song, right?
Oh, my God.
Come on, how come we forget?
On easy street.
Yeah, easy street.
Oh, man.
I mean, we all got that hard, right?
Darryl was hanging strong.
I was starting to fold just by listening to it on my TV.
And Eugene liked it.
Yeah.
Yeah, he did.
Which, by the way, who wants to see Eugene shot between the eyes now?
I think.
He's going to die.
He has to die.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Is Eugene still alive?
Is the Eugene Carrey?
Is he still alive in the comic books?
Well, in the comics, yes, he is still alive, but also when Negan captured him, he never turned on Rick.
He refused to work with Negan in the comics.
Nice.
What the heck?
A twist.
He has to die.
Wow.
Your son has value.
What are you bringing to the table?
He could have went after this, after the war, he could have went back to Rick.
He didn't.
He went back with Negan.
He could have came back.
Do we really believe that he's turned or that he's turned?
working something. I think he's working something. I just think he is. I don't, I thought he was, but he could have he could stay with Rick. Why didn't he not stay with Rick after the war? Like, how did he just end up back? He's an admitted coward. There's no real war though that happened. I mean, we're still, it's still. So, you know, actually, so then why did they have the whole scene where he turned over the ammunition plans to Rick? Like, what was the point of that? Like, if they were going to write it to where he's reded, you know, you know,
know, has redemption and comes back to Rick and the gang,
then he would make all the ammunition and all that stuff.
So what was the point of them making an effort of sewing,
oh, here's how you do it.
Wait, they're going to kill him.
They're going to kill him or he's going to stay with them.
Yeah.
But, yeah, he knows that he knows Negan would kill him if he doesn't show him.
And Nagan almost killed him anyway, right?
Because Negan knows he was the one that poisoned Sasha.
Well, no, I don't think so.
Oh, he was ready.
He was at the end.
He suspects.
He couldn't prove it.
Yeah.
He couldn't prove it.
And Eugene sold it on no air in the coffin,
and she turned inside the coffin.
But Nigan, man, he was...
So you're saying you think Nagan...
He couldn't prove that Eugene gave...
If he can prove it, he was gone right now.
He should put Eugene in the coffin and see if he survives that.
And I thought he was going to do that.
That's a good call because he could have said, well, we should see that.
So you're assuming that Negan knows about the pills because one of his wives told him.
No, I'm just saying that Negan knows that Eugene killed Sasha.
instead of letting Sasha be alive to help against Rick.
Okay.
That's a possibility.
That's absolutely possible.
I mean, he was at the end that he was like, okay, I mean, he let it go then.
Are you guys?
So speaking of our little theories here, are you guys still on the Enid is a spy?
100%.
100%.
So the Jadus thing didn't?
It shook me a little bit.
Okay, first of all, I want
Jayden's
dead
I want her with a bullet hole
I want to see that bullet hole
between those eyes and that haircut
and I want her standing
and looking straight at Rick
and I want her to just
breathe out her last breath
looking at Rick
I want her dead
and as a matter of fact
I'll be the one to do it instead of Rick
you don't want to see her
She
Lay down with Rick.
Oh, that was one of my favorite scenes
Of the entire series.
Perhaps after I will lay with him.
Now, after that scene.
Did you see Rick's face, too?
That was the most awkward thing.
He took two steps back
and looked over his shoulder like a tree.
And then he didn't say that.
He just kept going.
It was so great.
It was very strange.
All right, so we have,
and after that scene,
we had one of my favorite scenes
was the,
scene where
Negan has Rick and Carl down on their knees inside Alexandria
and he's going, he wants to
kill someone. And he's got Rick and Carl
down on their knees and off in the background
Michone is fighting one of the garbage pale people
and Rick here's something that makes
everybody think that
Michone is dead
there she goes
you thought that was Michon right there
oh
oh I know
and he realizes
fantastic
wow
you
you just lost somebody
important to you right now
like just now
Jesus
is timing
you chose this
That's right.
Actually, we don't know what more I could have done to warn you.
This isn't a warning.
This is punishment.
Think about it.
I'm gonna kill Carl now.
I'm gonna make it one nice, hard swing.
Try to do it in one because I like him.
Over there.
I just want you to put that in your brain and roll it around for a minute.
gonna kill Carl and then you see you here she's gonna take your hands oh so they're
trying to make up for the hands now gone you can do it right right right Rick
you can take my hands already I'm gonna kill you see that's a good Rick right there I know
maybe not today maybe not tomorrow nothing is gonna change that nothing
Think about it.
It was a replaying of that first scene.
Yes it was.
But with a totally different outcome.
Yes, it was.
We missed the Shiva roar right there.
I was wanting for it.
No, no, it's coming up.
See, Negan is walking around now, look at him, because he's like,
What are you talking about?
He's like, damn.
He did say what he said.
I think he rattled him.
I think Rick rattled Negan.
Right there?
Yes.
You kind of shook him?
Yeah.
Because he didn't have to him like that.
No one talks to him like that.
No one talks to him like that.
No. He did not know.
Remember during the season where he would say,
don't look with me like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because he went into Rick mode.
I'm not sure what to do.
Oh, here goes.
I know they're funny.
He's so great.
I was up in my chair.
This is talking, walking dad on the Blaze Radio Network.

tonight talking walking dead
Brad Staggs Jason Buncho
Sean Foster we just heard
the scene between Negan and Rick and
what a powerful scene
I still pumped
I mean that was the Rick that we love
and I think you're right I think that
actually Negan
it caught him off guard because he had him
down on their knees and most people are shaking
and begging and on the other hand
throughout the season from time to time
when we were just hating
Rick because he was such a pus
Yep.
Every so often he would go back into Rick mode and Negan would say,
don't look at me like that.
Yeah.
Because he knew that it was the Rick mode.
You know what it reminded me of when they were going to escape,
or when they first got put into Terminus into that box car?
And he had been basically a big wuss up until that point.
And then this series always has these like Rick rebirths or reawakening.
Right.
And he had this line,
they're going to feel pretty stupid when they find out they're screwing with the wrong people.
Yeah, that was the same feeling.
I was like, oh.
Yeah, that was the end in the box car, right?
Yeah, that was because then they came back.
That was either the end of a half season or the end of the season,
because that's when Carol came back and saved them.
Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, all right, we're still into season seven,
and I know we're going to break here at the bottom.
We're going to come back, but we'll talk a little bit more about Edid the Spy
that we still believe on this show as a spy.
We're going to find out exactly who we think the little birdie is,
and the garbage pale people, the LGBTQ people,
if we have some new people showing up in episode 8,
and if Jadis, please, dear Lord,
someone put a bullet between her heads
on Talking Walking Dead.
You're listening to a special presentation
from the Blaze Radio Network.
This is the Blaze Radio Network
and a very special Talking Walking Dead tonight.
Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today.
You can tweet hashtag Talking Walking Dead.
You can call 888-90-33 is the phone number.
Brad Staggs, Jason Butchrell,
Sean Foster. We're a smack dab
in the middle of season 7.
And darn excited to be here.
We've covered a lot of Walking
Dead. It's really made me realize,
I'd be honest with you,
tonight has made me realize how much I do
really like that stupid show.
I know, right? And it's been a really good show.
It's been a good run. We've had,
Sean was reminding us about the, when they
took the prison over, I mean, those were some
darn good episodes, man.
Darn good. And we're going to have to wait
until October of this year.
for it to return.
Thank you, Mr. Calendar.
However,
for fans of Fear the Walking Dead,
season three starts June 4th of this year,
so we're just a couple of months away.
Do we count as fans of Fear the Walking Dead?
I want to be.
I know.
We count as wannabe fans,
and we do count as we do a podcast talking fear
that we'll continue to do.
So June 5th, look for that.
But we do that podcast as more of
just a rip
to tear that show down
and break it apart
and bring it down and actually
it's trying to help them. It's more it's not ripping
them down, it's trying to help them
create a show that's
better. We
asked the question,
why? Why did you
do that? It's so sad because
how can you screw that up?
Well, they did. How do you screw that up?
I mean, that's what everyone wanted to
see was, and we talked about this in our
podcast, but like when this happens
when it breaks out in a major city,
what happens? And they were right there.
And they blew right past it all.
Right into the seat, quite literally.
And we, you know, we really, I mean, I think
it was you, Brad, that pretty much called it, but
it was so expensive to film them. They, instead of
doing it in another city, they picked L.A., and then it was too expensive
for them to film what they needed to be filmed. So they
went out on a boat. Yeah, this
agonizing. All right, so back. I'm disappointed on you guys over there.
Why? Why? Because you
I've been talking walking death for last two and a half hours.
And the only show that I watched, which is fear of the walking day,
you just completely just overlook it and just throw it and stomp on it.
We just started talking about it.
You made fun of it.
You made fun of it.
You didn't do anything more than just.
And what's my invite to this other podcast?
Those damn postal workers, man.
You can't trust.
You cannot trust a postal worker to save your life.
I've wanted to be Postmaster General.
for I can't tell you how many years to rejuvenate the Postal Service.
And that just pushes me over the edge.
Charles Bukowski over there.
Charles Bukowski, thank you, post office.
All right.
So season seven, Enid, spy.
We found out, we talked a little bit about when Negan gave his little birdie told me
what you were up to, to the war and to the garbage pale kids turning on Rick.
I want every one of those
I want Jadis and her two little
her two little garbage pan buddies
I want them all dead
Tammy L
I think that's going to be the first hit that Rick does
with the whole with the whole coalition now
I think you go after
he knows where they live
why not attack them they turn their backs of them
they're going to go towards them in their first
when they have everybody
you know what it's going to piss me off in season 8
if they fast forward in time so far
and they just say oh we took past that
And they bypassed them.
We took care of them.
That would suck.
Because we need some redebt.
You can't.
I mean, she was a character.
She's built, they're building up Jadis as a character for the show.
So you're not going to go past her.
Well, they could go past it and then have a flashback, right?
And then give us a flashback episode of when Rick and Mishon are taking a nap under an apple tree out camping.
Well, we have a hundred episodes.
Maybe we can have a flashback of the day that we killed Jadis.
And then we can wake up in a cold sweat, but we're still together, Mishone and Rick.
I just wrote the episode for it
but that's the one that's going to be too.
It's so sad.
I wonder if they'll open up with
Alexandria just looking devastated.
You know, like holes in the wall,
houses that have to jump ahead, right?
Well, they passed that because they already showed
all three leaders of the hilltop of the kingdom
and Alexandria are talking.
So I think they're going to go past,
like you already know they're united,
so I think they're going to go a little further along
instead of saying, hey, this is the right after the aftermath
of that war.
They have to go, there's going to be a little jump ahead.
You can't.
Yeah, I mean, we had, we've got to worry about, what's his face, right?
The other hilltop Dingleberry.
Gregory.
Gregory.
We don't know where he went.
He's off running around with his tail between his legs somewhere.
Didn't we assume he went to the sanctuary, though?
No, because he's had two days of traveling.
He said, Pack you back for a few days.
I'm pretty sure in the books, the All Out War kicks off where I think Maggie punches
Gregory in the face and takes over for him, I believe.
So I would not be surprised if season eight.
Maybe in the first couple of episodes, they start with that.
Gregory?
Gregory actually did go to the sanctuary in the story.
And then when he went back, that's when Maggie punched him.
And took over.
Pretty much.
And then I'm not going to spoil anything else for Gregory's storyline.
No, that's fine.
Just tell us what the heck happened.
After all out war, it takes place about the comics jump two years after.
after all at war and then later Gregory dies from being hanged.
Oh, thanks for telling us that, ruining that for us.
You asked for him.
Thanks a lot.
Now I'm not going to watch the show anymore.
Oh, man.
That's a spoiler alert.
Okay, fine.
So there you, I mean, there you go.
So we got to worry about him.
We went to the sanctuary.
I doubt he went to the sanctuary, though.
I don't think so.
It just seems like the hilltop is closer than, I mean,
Two days.
It's closer than two days, right?
I mean, unless he's going to hang out and, you know, hang out and just get some food.
Maybe he's going to stop by the LGBTQ island.
In the ocean side.
They've got to pop back in somewhere.
Right?
There's a lot of them, and they, I mean, we left it kind of ambiguous whether or not they...
Yeah, we did.
The youngsters wanted to help.
The youngsters wanted to help.
We don't need a story for that, though.
Just have the ones that want to go, go.
We don't need to see the grandmother again.
I know.
I wish they would have done that.
I thought, I wish they would have just brought them along.
That's where it gets slow.
You don't need to see that.
You see, okay, we left the grandma, and now we're here with you guys.
You don't need to see that slow episode of, oh, my gosh, do you want to be here?
Right.
And that's a good slow episode.
What we can see, though, is perhaps maybe in one of the episodes, we see Grandma as a walker and realize, oh, she's dead.
Well, they're all going to be dead because we took all their guns away anyway.
I know.
You know what?
We left him.
I actually felt bad about that.
I kind of thought that Rick should leave them some defenses.
Well, now not only do they not have the guns.
I mean, that was really niggish.
The garbage people have all the guns.
It was really neganish.
Yeah, it really is.
I mean, Rick does a lot of nigginess things,
but does that mean because they're for different reasons that it's okay?
Yes.
Well, of course, obviously it means it's okay.
But we had analyzed this before in our other podcast.
That whole scenario was done so that nobody had to die.
So, like, remember we were talking about how they were on the beach
and they were gathering up that horde of walkers to come.
Basically that final showdown, that final scene was all staged.
So they could turn around and they could all defeat the horde together.
Their people and Rick's people all together.
I thought that was pretty dope.
That was brilliant.
Well, and now he's left an entire group of women defenseless in the jungle.
Thank you, Rick.
What a jerk.
I hate him.
I've changed my mind.
So, Jeffrey, when do we find out that Enid is a spy?
I don't know.
You know, everybody thinks doesn't think that.
she is now they think that they've blown that off John's been shaking his head every
time I mentioned Ian it is the spy he shakes his head like you know what you're
talking about fat man but remember how sure we were after Negan had that little yes
Negan had that that little talk with Sasha and it sounded exactly like the same
that Ed had with Carl exactly the same they keep leaving the season you don't think she is
I just don't think she is anywhere after Jadis I think I think her character is just
going to be Carl's girlfriend and she might die eventually in
oh, my get more psychotic and he'll become Negan Jr.
But Jaydus never, Jay just didn't know as much as Nican knew about what they were doing at Alexandria and what was going on.
But all he, all Nagan really knew is that they got more guns and they were trying to do something against Negan.
That's all he had, that's all he was going after.
He didn't know anything else.
What did, Nican never reveal saying, hey, I know anything.
He only knew that they're getting more guns from somewhere because she got the, Jadis got the guns with them and that they're plotting to do something.
against Negan.
That's all that storyline is what they had.
They didn't have anything else.
That they told us about.
Yeah.
Yeah, they told us about.
But you guys are assuming that something else happened.
All it's going to take is one little flashback of Enid meeting with Negan or whatever.
Yeah.
Every time I think about it, the whole, I mean, I give the writers of Walking Dead more credit.
Like, so when they had the lineup, who was at like the mid-season finale or whatever.
Right.
And Enid gave that whatever she gave to Maggie and she got sick.
So I was like, when that happens and then when they leave at the exact time.
That's the time that Neiman has everything all set.
In place.
As if they knew they were going to come at that point in time.
That makes no sense.
Unless they're just always out there at a certain time of day and the off chance that Rick and the game, Maggie's going to go into labor.
Which was true because they've been out driving.
I mean, they've driven around those roads before and they weren't blocked off.
See, too perfect.
There is a spy.
There's a little birdie.
And I still think it's the person that gave Maggie those tainted, whatever that was.
I do too, Enid.
Brad, do you think that she's a spy?
Yes, I'm still on board with a spy.
Sean, you're outvoted.
She's the spy.

Oh, that is a good one.
Thank you.
I like that one very much.
We're just wrapping it up.
Now, season eight, we ended with Michone, Badly.
injured, right, from the fight, from her fight?
Not alpha on that one. Yeah, well, that was a tough one. I know, I don't get that at all.
Not alpha at all.
Jada shot Rick, pushed him off the stand.
But Sasha as a walker, first time you've ever probably cheered for a walker, right?
Yeah.
When she, on top of Negan, I mean, weren't you cheering for Sasha?
I was cheer. I love the well, fat guy walker on the farm.
Yeah, but you weren't cheered.
because that made me think, I got a shot.
I got a shot.
Oh.
You are in love with Sasha is your problem.
And she's going to be on Star Trek.
I was cheering for that Walker that looked like Jeffie in a dress.
What was that three or four episodes?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's another episode that I thought I got a shot.
I thought that was you for a second.
I was like, that's son of them.
He didn't tell me.
He didn't tell us.
Don't give up hope.
Don't give up hope.
And then, of course, we had the final goodbye from Maggie,
and we finally laid to rest, Glenn, thank God.
And I have it to play, and I don't know that I can make it through it
because I listened to it as went into the system.
Well, just go ahead and let's play Maggie's farewell speech, poem, thoughts.

The decision was made a long time ago
Before any of us knew each other
And we were all strangers who would have just passed each other on the street before the world ended
And now we mean everything to each other
She's British
That's the most southern she's gotten
Yeah
That's the most southern she's gotten in a while
Yes it is
Y'all?
And she's supposed to be pregnant
but she's thin as a rail.
I know.
I mean, they haven't even pretended
to show her pregnant.
No.
Not even good.
It was just a pocket watch.
Why didn't they bring Stephen in back?
Because...
His rates are probably higher than Abraham.
Thank you.
Plus, they had a tiger.
I know.
Which ate up the budget.
You were trapped.
Yeah.
Glenn didn't know you.
Wow.
Wow.
Doesn't it rhyme.
He put himself in danger for you.
That's not a haiku.
It is.
I went,

I went a real agent on that one.
That's not a hyacu.
From Atlanta,

To be recapping all the seasons.

There's one point in this where I think she's done.
Yeah, like right here, I think,

I keep going.
I kind of muted this.
I thought it was another.

That was the decision that changed everything.
Oh, my gosh.
Like, orange man.
I need a commercial break for this one.
And enabled us to make a lot of money.
It started with both of you.
Oh, geez.
And it just grew.
All of us.
Yeah, it did.
To sacrifice for each other.
Oh, boy.
Roll credits.
You need this though.

Fade the blood.

Oh, but there it is.

Guys, thank you very much for showing up.
It was a lot of fun.
Just shut up and give me my paycheck.
Yeah, they've got your check right out by the door.
Oh, good, good.
You just finish up tidying up around here.
The trash needs to be taken out.
Fine, fine.
They've got your check, no problem.
It's right off front.
If you get outside the doors and there's not a lady out there with a paycheck,
just stand there until someone decides to turn around and let you in.
That's where the check will be.
Sean, yours is by the back door.
So would you take the trash out, stay just outside the back door?
You're not going to close this broadcast off with a very long broadcast
in a very sweet southern accent?
Not have been the best way.
It probably would be the best way.
that was Titanic
