Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. When our water heater broke down last month, it was a nightmare. It took five hours for the plumber to show up, and he charged us a couple of hundred bucks just to come out. Then it cost another $1,800 to put in the new water heater. By the time it was all said and done, I felt like I'd been taken. But what else could I do? The smartest thing you can do is get a home warranty from American residential warranty.

I'm Brad Staggs, a huge X-Files fan, filling Jeffie's shoes today, and his chair, which doesn't seem to work very well. Got to get him a new one. So the X-Files, you know, it's midway through their six-episode, quote-unquote, event, which I think is going to turn into the series returning if you're as excited about it as I am,
Starting point is 00:01:26 and I am, true X-Files, die-hard fan. We were talking about the Easter eggs that they spread through the episode, Easter eggs being those little things that kind of inside jokes that the writers put into the script. He's in this latest episode, The Wear Monster. At one point, the motel owner is peeping into his, and if you haven't seen the episode yet, by the way, I'm not going to spoil anything for you, but these are things you will see. Mulder and his Red Speedo that takes us all the way back to the
Starting point is 00:01:58 Duane Barry episode from was it season two you know I'm starting to sell like a Star Trek geek remember when they beamed down to the planet in the fourth episode of the second season and they had the monster and they look it's okay
Starting point is 00:02:13 the episodes or the X-Files truly worth it the graveyard scene when they the Mulder and Guy man walk up They stand by two headstones. One of them is Kim Manor's on the headstone. Kim Manners was an absolutely fabulous director.
Starting point is 00:02:36 I think he died back in 2009. He directed more X-Files episodes than any other, 52 in total. And one of his favorite phrases was, let's kick it in the ass. So that was the epitaph on the headstone. there in this episode. But right next to him there was another name I wasn't even familiar with. Jack Hardy
Starting point is 00:03:01 was the other name on the tombstone. And that apparently was a assistant director for Chris Carter on both Millennium and the lone gunman and the second X-Files movie, which should be burned and buried,
Starting point is 00:03:18 called I Want to Believe. And also on the, I guess on one of the Blu-rays. but everybody loved Jack Hardy apparently. He was a really, really nice guy, really good member of the crew. And then finally, Dagu, the dog that the, well, the Ware Monster actually was a lizard who turns into a guy, as opposed to a guy who turns into a lizard.
Starting point is 00:03:42 But Daegu was this little dog that he gets and picks him up from the pound. And this goes all the way back to all of the Moby Dick references that Darren Morgan, again, the writer of this episode, I think is absolutely brilliant. Daegu was one of the harpooners on Captain Ahab's ship. But lots of incredible Easter eggs. And if you're an X-Files fan, don't wait any longer. Watch this episode. It's available online and keep our fingers crossed.
