The Blaze Radio Network On Demand Season 9, episode 3, titled Warning Signs. Pretty good episode. Myself, Jeff Fisher, Jason Butchell, and Maximus Fisher joining me, and that means this is Talking Walking Dead. All right, it was a pretty good episode. I did enjoy it.

I will say I'm still stuck on. I really, I don't mind spoilers, but I just hate no. knowing that Rick is going to be gone. Two episodes? Two episodes left of Rick Gride. Did we know this before that little teaser? We did not. Holy crap, man.

No, we didn't. I think that's before the midseason finale. It is. There's still going to be two or three episodes before the midseason finale. Dang, man. I know. See, that goes against all their previous marketing, like how they've done these in the past. Like, I was wrong.

Especially like they did with fear. Yeah, I'm completely blown away that we're going to have the majority of this season. without Rick Grimes. I know. That, what? Unless they do flashback scenes or something. And I'm okay with the flashback thing, but then they shouldn't have sold it. You know, it should have been the last season.

Yeah. Not the last episodes. Yeah. We know. I don't know that I agree with that. From what I remember, we know that John Bernthal, who plays Shane, is coming back for a scene this season. I don't know if that's going to be a flashback later or if it's going to be a flashback in the final. That's probably when Rick dies.

He goes through all the people in his life. Because he even teased it. He even teased it last night about, I care about, I think about all the people we lost, not just family. Yeah. And so when he dies,

they'll do a great big, you know, walk to the pearly gates with Rick Grimes. And his whole life is going to flash before his eyes. And it's going to be a lot. I heard there's going to be a big reunion. Like they want, like I think they originally wanted to have Herschel back.

but God rest his soul that's not possible No actually they did get him back I think they filmed that oh did they already Yeah they filmed they got him for this season Oh good Wow Before he passed away So that probably would be though

For that actor that's probably the last thing he ever He ever did Which is gonna be kind of a Even worse sad I think he did that He filmed that and then he did like one or two Comic Cons before he passed away Because he was promoting the new season

Yeah so that's I'm sure they're all meeting Rick in heaven. You know, for this episode and this whole theme, I'm really digging it. I'm really digging it. The way it's been written and everything, I'm just really digging it. Like the whole time, like, it hit me last night.

I was like, this whole scenario reminds me of a song. And I couldn't quite put my finger on it. And then I was like, Simon and Garfunkel, bridge over troubled waters. That's exactly, like almost like they, in my mind, it felt like they listened to that song, and then, okay, they were like, then that was kind of like the theme

for the entire, like, at least first half of the season. That's possible, yeah. But you think about it, like, you know, they're building this bridge, but it's really a bridge over troubled water. You know what I mean? Yeah.

All this other, all this other intrigue is starting to build, um, the different factions. Like, you know, this is, like, the piece that they have now is just like, you know, it's just a facade, basically.

It's basically just like, we're wading it out. Yeah. There is troubled water coming. And this whole unity they have now is just like it's a metaphorical bridge. And it might even fall apart before the whispers. Absolutely. I think it's absolutely going to fall apart because of the, well, I won't jump ahead. But the final scene of last night's episode kind of set up.

Like I cannot wait until next season or next episode. It's going to get probably cray cray. I know. Yeah. I know. And I liked as we go to the end with the pre-year. Richard man and your girl. Your girl, Jadis.

Oh, she's back to being Jadis. Tremendous. Dude, I'm sorry, Gabriel. You need to step the hell back. It's almost like he doesn't know you exist. I know, right? And I'm like right here. It's like completely not even paying attention.

I'm right here, dude. I mean, you've got both eyes and everything. Right? Yeah. This is crap. Like nobody was on Team Jadis. I think I was the only one in the history, I mean, of everywhere that watched the show. Only one. That's a fact. And I owned it all the way through till now. And then here comes Father freaking Gabriel. Oh, man, I'd be pissed if I were you.

Okay, back to being serious here. With the helicopter, it's getting more. Did you think he was not serious? Yeah, I'm dead serious. Okay, back to more important things. There you go. We still, this left me even more confused. Who are the people with the helicopter?

Yeah, what are the A and B people that she's given up? I think those are, I think those are like Rick Grimes as an A person, right? I guess. Like, the people that can be useful, I'm assuming? Yeah. So, like, a Maggie or a Rick or even more of an A, like Eugene. he'd probably be definitely an A person Or a super A like Negan if they were able to catch him

But he said that she was giving She had already like that was her job that she admitted was giving people To find people So who is she given up? And then she For supplies but And then she When she punches Gabriel

She says an aisle this time I thought you were a B No it's all I think it was I thought you were an A No No He was never an A She said he was a B Right I mean I'll

We can go back and watch it again But I'm pretty sure she said all this time I thought you were a B Maybe But whatever Whatever whether it was A or a B He definitely wasn't what she thought he was So help me remember this When she was going

Remember when she had last season when she had Negan hostage At the trash place? Was she going to kill him there? Or was she just... It felt like it. Because remember the helicopter was showing up? So I was like, was she going to give them? Was she giving them, Megan?

Yeah, she had him tied up and everything. Remember that? And she was calling in the helicopter? I wonder if she was giving him over or trying to. I didn't think about that until just now. Yeah. That's probably what she was done. Max, you were right when you mentioned Negan because he's an A, right?

Yeah. Yeah. We still don't know what it means, but we think A are the better ones and B are the lower ones because that's just how it works. Useful versus non-useful. Yeah, very. I'm assuming. Very, yeah.

That's interesting. I still think it's got to be the New World Order storyline, right? I don't know if it's the Commonwealth. I mean, who else would it be? I don't even know. I mean, the Commonwealth might not even be them, right? I don't think so. I mean, there has been a helicopter in the comics, I don't think.

Right. So, look, and again, I love how even the trash people have a walkie-talkie store that works. That's a, that's a world-class machines right there with walkie-togis. If you want an investment to be prepared for the future. You get yourself some walk-talkies. I'm not talking about the kid brand either. Get yourself some walkie-talkies, man. The baby's last forever. You saw a little bit of Jerry this episode. We did see a little bit of Jerry this episode. He was, he was actually, it was fun to see. He was involved in the, in the inner meeting with, with Rick and

you know look let's we'll start at the beginning so we see we see this one the one savior from last episode dead

and you brought up a good point in our little group text I couldn't believe that they didn't continue to eat him yeah they just kind of stood up and walked off that's kind of weird why would they I mean

then he then he turned and maybe Now, maybe they'll say that they didn't, they stopped eating him because he was turning now that I think about it. Because he had already turned, right? So if they were starting to eat him and then he turned, then he's one of them. They don't eat him, right? It's possible. I guess that one.

Because we've never seen a walker eat another walker before, have we? No, they don't. No, they don't. They have the, you have the, you have the walker smell. And actually, because what we find out is he got speared in the chest, not arrowed, not stabbed, speared in the chest, and he didn't die because of getting eaten by walkers. He got killed by something else, therefore the walkers would have come later.

And? So they couldn't eat him fully before he turned. Yeah, I mean, that's the only way, because I couldn't believe that they just got up and walked away. So it had to be because he was turning That's the only thing that could be So I keep on a way I thought it was possible that they were gonna

Maybe they weren't walkers You know, maybe those were the whispers Maybe yeah You know but I don't know They never One thing I pointed out They never act like they'll eat They never act like they eat people

They never in the comic books I'm so surprised we actually haven't heard from them yet I know That's so weird They're taken forever with that Still up around this time They still haven't showed up in the comics either Like if you follow it through the

timeline-wise. They still haven't shown up in the comics at this time in the comics either. So they're saving the whispers for post-Rick. Gosh. So we bring in, get rid of Rick, and we bring in the new, the whisperers, and they add the new bad guy and leaders so that we have some new characters to fall back on. I hope that's true. Because, you know, when we start at the beginning of the episode, you know, Rick and Michelle

and Judith. And we've got the little Instagram photo party going on as we go for walks and everything is just hunky dory. What do you mean by Instagram? It's just picture perfect. It's just picture perfect.

Agonizing. It wasn't that. It was definitely. It was kind of a somewhat of a fun family scene with all three of them. I'll admit that. But all they're doing is setting us up for death.

That's the point of it. Yeah, but we don't need that. On top of which, I know that many of you listening to the Talking Walking Dead do think that Michone and Rick make just this loving couple. I do not. It's agonizing. I do not. I don't, they don't.

No chemistry. Carol and the King have a little chemistry. Carol and the King have a little chemistry. Some of the other relationships that were started and then ended, it seemed as though there was some spark there. This relationship doesn't, it's a relationship of necessity. It's not even, there's no spark as far as I'm concerned. But, you know, all right, whatever.

And then we had a little, some maybe people were thinking, like out one scene with Rick and Michoen in the bed thinking, wait, are they going to have kids? That's what they kind of, yeah, hinted at. And maybe that's how you keep Rick alive in the show, right, that Michelle gets pregnant and has another Rick baby. That was possible. But you do have Judith and she's the cure.

still hanging on to that oh absolutely on that on that show that on that show that comes on after walking dead they had a quiz where they're like okay what should be a fun family thing for the for the

Grimes family Rick Michelle and Judith one go out to the park and play two go to kill some walkers or three go have a DNA test and I was just like DNA test it felt like we all wanted to there were some great scenes

in the in the episode I mean Maggie you know was looking pissed and strong and she's had just about enough of it all that barn scene that the house scene was really good and again look with with Maggie and Daryl and Carol and Rick Darrell is right.

When he said our group, there's nothing we can't do. Totally. We said that, I think, in the group text, we were like, this group literally feels like you could put them in, like, an invasion force to invade China. Absolutely. Like, five of them could pull it off.

I'm like, good gosh. We're taken over. Like, you know, I loved it. That was actually like the very start of all that war. Remember when that group was like, was employed by the health. top to go out and take it. It was like a black ops.

I know. I was like, dude, this group was awesome. I was like, good gosh. That's why we loved him. Oh, man. Also, during the shed scene, we had Sidney kill that one walker with the pitchfork. You loved that kill. That was a great scene.

That was a great scene. And then she, but then she got bogged down with the one walker. Maggie had to take care of the whole house. Yeah. You have to admit, the throat walker that she was, that Sidney was against was interesting. That would suck trying to hold on to the goo of the. Yeah, that's happened to Rick before, too. I mean, Rick, I mean, they've all gotten bogged down with the gooey walkers.

You know, it happens to the best of them. Yeah. But it was really good. But I really missed, like, there were several times, well, several, at least a couple, where you want the old Rick. Yeah. You really do want the old Rick. We had the Negan Rick, then we went back to the old Rick, and now we've got the,

we've got to build a new world, and we've all got to love. each other, Rick. And I just stop. I get it. I get it. Really, this episode was like really the epitome of, I think, the entire theme, at least the first half of this season is like this. Rick is all about the future.

You know, that was all about your Instagram story, you know, scene. It's all about the future and like having a baby. They're planning for the future, a better future. Yes. So it's like he's all looking ahead. And so you have like team Rick and Michone. That's what they're all about. Then you've got team Daryl and Maggie.

and they represent the part of all the characters that they can't reconcile the past. So they can't look forward because they can't reconcile the past. And there's a lot of people like that, like the Oceanside girls. That's what they were doing. Exactly. They brought them back to where the massacre happened. We finally know where the massacre of where Simon led the massacre happened. And even though, yeah, I, you agreed with that.

them like killing the saviors there. Absolutely. One thing I did notice though, which I was, I'm fine with, they weren't going after random people who were like, oh, we were part of the saviors. They weren't going after random. And that's exactly why Daryl and Maggie walked away because they weren't going after random people. They were trying to reconcile the past and get justice.

Yep. And get justice for the people that they lost. And that's exactly what Maggie and Daryl are doing. Exactly. That's why they want to kill Negan. That's why they want to get rid of the saviors. They want that too much has been done. So I think they agree with Rick and that.

I think that's where it kind of comes in. They're not completely off Rick's, you know. No, they're not. They're not off his side. But we can't get into the future. Until we reconcile the past. And Rick's basically asking them, look, no, we're not going to reconcile the past. We're going to ignore it and move forward.

Right. That's just not going to work. And I loved the scene for next week. The preview showed, you know, where at the end, Maggie and Darrell were going to Alexandria. I'm really confused because at the. end of this episode, Maggie and Darrell were going to Alexandria to kill Negan. And the preview clip that they aired last night shows Rick finding out that Maggie is going to Alexandria, but behind him is Darrell.

So I don't know why Darrell ended up not going with her to Alexandria. And I also loved the clip where Rick calls the communication, the people on lookout, Remember the truck that I think Jerry was sitting in or someone was sitting in and there was there's a girl sitting up on. This one wasn't Tara. I think this was at Alexandria. Well, whoever was on the road on top of the van, you know, the lookout with the walkie-talkies. And when Rick was saying Warren, you know, Warren Alexandria, the girl was like, yeah, right. I didn't even watch that.

Not going to happen. Preview thing. So she's not going to alert. She doesn't, you know, she's okay with Maggie going to kill Negan. So again, they're part of that. part of the Maggie group, like, I don't think she's, that they need to reconcile. And I loved, it was a great scene, too, of the Oceanside Girls killing that girl. Of a rot?

I wasn't expecting a rot to die, honestly. Oh, I knew. There was no way Maggie and Darrell weren't going to let that happen. At first, I was actually, there was one thing that tipped it off, I think. I think even though they were, even though how they were explaining it, I think they were going to not let a rot die. until she said, until Sydney was like, what did you say right before you killed him? And then she said two simple words that we should all know

what Negan said before he killed Glenn. No exceptions. Yeah. I think those two words tipped Maggie and Daryl off going, okay, you're dead. That shows you the ridiculousness of what Rick was expecting them to do. Right. Because like they killed, like,

Simon and Negan... They killed their entire... Every man in their... Every man in their community. They slaughtered in front of them. And they just expect them now to work alongside the people that did the killing. That makes no sense.

We all know that wasn't Negan's fault. That was Simons. Whatever. Simon was an underling to Negan. That's like saying, I know that it wasn't Hitler. It was the generals. No, it was Hitler.

Yeah. He was the guy in charge. Did I just bring Hitler up into the walking dead? He did. Sorry. This network does it to you. But we all can agree that Negan, if he was at that school during that time, he wouldn't have allowed the massacre to happen. We know this.

He was mad at Simon for doing it like he was pissed at Simon for killing the garbage people. Oh my God. Are you a Negan apologist? Yes. Yes. I can't have that. Screw Simon. He betrayed Negan.

Yeah, he did. But look, Negan was the man and he was in charge and they were doing, you know, they were doing what he wanted. They were, you know, while you can argue that Negan would have said, don't kill them all,

because Negan would have said don't kill them all, just kill a couple and keep the others to work. But Simon, on the other hand, did what, you know, what Daryl and Maggie did against Rick's. That's just, look, the other way you're going to take care of business. And I've, you know, look,

they all want to, you're right, as I mean, we're covering the same ground. They have to reconcile that pass. That has to happen. And I don't blame them, because I'm with them. I am with them. Then there was out one. Let's, we need to end this, be rid of that

before we move forward. Yeah. Yeah. And then there was on one scene in the beginning with Maggie and I think Ken is his name. We're on the we're on the little carry. That's Glenn 2.0. Oh, that irritated the crap out of me. That's Glenn 2.0.

It looked exactly like him. I was like, what are they doing? Did they mean to do that? No, because he's actually, no, because he's actually a character in the comics. He is, that this character, character, he is a character in the comics. Does he look like Glenn in the comics? He looked exactly like Glenn. He looks exactly like Glenn.

Longer face. He has a longer face, definitely. Well, I know that they don't. Well, they're not twins, but the likeness is insane. Right, they're not twins, and we got it. He looks exactly the same, but he's different. I know. I know that.

But he looks similar to what you would think. Oh, that's just like, I love Glenn, and you look just like Glenn. Come on. And he did not look happy on the wagon ride. Yeah. I mean, she's got some serious crankiness issues. And then the saviors. That's why she needed Glenn 2.0.

And then the same. And then the saviors. And then the saviors. And then the Saviors came in and then he was like, what's your name? So I can mark you down for that. I'm Mud. He eats the tomato. You're the widow.

Was he in last season? Because he looks really familiar to me. I don't know. Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did. If not, I just know the actor, I guess. And it looks like at least the one savior girl, the one with the barcode on her neck. She seems like on Rick's side of this.

Yeah. So. More of a peacekeeper. But still, I mean, it's like you've got. But still, she's still a savior. So, I mean, okay, fine. You can be on Rick's side or Darrell's side or whatever, but you're still, you were still part of them. Yeah.

I like that scene back at the bridge that like all hell's breaking loose. You know, everyone was fighting. Yeah, and they were suspecting on who killed this one. Who killed Justin? Yeah, that was dope, man. Because they were all fighting. I'm about to fight. Daryl had his crossbow out, and then Rick just rides in enough with his gun.

That's the Western. Yeah. Yeah. The sheriff rides. So great. I love how, I love how Rick is like, he's basically said,

he's just giving up, you know, leadership authority, you know, to all, you know, everybody else. And he,

like, kind of just wants to hang in the background. But every time he's there, everyone, he's the man. He's the man. Like, he's like,

okay, he's like, okay, we'll follow you, Rick. Yeah. Yeah, it was Rick Grimes. Rick Grimes is here.

And then. It's the new Rick James. Rick Grimes. And one of when, And one thing when Rick was talking to Daryl about, like just saying, did you kill that one savior? Because it looked like an arrow.

And then Daryl said if I would have killed him, I would have killed them in plain sight. Well, yeah. And look, that was just another way of Rick to come to Daryl and say, give it a shot, right? I got it. The one thing about Daryl and Rick and Daryl and Rick and Carol and Rick

and Carol and Rick and Carol and, Rick and Maggie and Rick. I mean, our group, the one thing about the inner circle group, I don't even know if Michone is in on that, but I'll let her be. Because he even, I mean, he told Carol stuff that he hasn't told Michone, right? Yeah. About waking up in the morning and stuff, he's never talked to Michone about that. So I think that first inner circle group that can do anything,

they have a different, I mean, that dynamic between. those people are we can talk about anything and we're still for each other. Yeah. And so when Rick went to see Daryl, that was the point, right? That was the point of, I know you didn't do this. I'm talking to you, so everybody sees me talking to you. Give it a chance. Give my way a chance.

I got it. I understand how frustrating it is. And I understand that I'm a wuss now. And I understand that I'm going to die in two episodes. Just give it a chance. Who else was truly shocked when the end of the episode played and then there was the credits and then Rick Grimes' last two

episodes. Who else was just like, wait, what did that say? Yeah, they finally announced it. I was not expecting. I disagree with that with that plan. And I'm not sure what AMC is thinking. Because now we're expecting it. Well, I was expecting it anyway. I got it.

It was the final, you know, last Rick Grimes' final episodes, but it should have been, you know, the season. Right now you've, I mean, you're at least milking me for the season. It's, it's balzy for the the showrunners because how many people will just stop watching after two episodes? Have a nice day, right. I mean, I'm tempted to do it as well, although I'll stick out for the rest of the season.

That's nice of you. But for you, just for you. But still, it's like, the show is so drastically different without him. So it's like you're not even really watching Harley the Walking Dead anymore. You know what I mean? I know. I know. And look, no, I won't say that.

But I understand your frustration. I'm with you because we're We were raised on the inner circle with Rick Grimes Yeah And now we've got an inner circle without Rick Grimes I don't know man So who's left It's gonna be tough

It's really they have this They have some egos on them for like Yes they do You know what I mean Because they're like Whatever people keep watching it Because you know we're awesome and whatever Actually that's not true

I mean when you look at the ratings the last round of ratings. And I haven't seen, you know, this week's or whatever, but the season premiere, while the season premiere was the number one cable show, it was the number two show overall, not number one over all the shows like it had been in the past. And overall networks.

Yeah, it was number two overall networks and number one cable. And they had been number one over at all. And then the numbers have dropped significantly by like 50%. I mean, I get it. It's hard to have staining power on one of these shows. It's been gone for so long. It's been nine years, yes. They keep trying to reinvent that, you know, that magic.

I get it. But still number one. They have kind of reinvented it this year, but they've reinvented it with Rick Grimes. Yeah. But still number one on AMC. Oh, yeah. Which is crazy. One and two are Walking Dead in Fear.

That's nuts. Yeah. Well, and really that used to be Walking Dead and then. The show that comes on after it. Did it usually? Yeah. Talking Dead was, it's the number one. It's usually the number one talk show.

Wow. And because of there for a while, it was like the number two show. But then they, but since they only, it's their show and they can do what they want, they would, you know, that's when they started plugging in the other shows that they wanted to do well, you know, time slot it and put Talking Dead after it. And that really, I mean, if, I'd be really mad. How the hell is fear number two? I'd be really bad if I was saying.

A lot of people like fear. I know. I don't understand it either. I mean, you want to talk about someone riding on the wave of Walking Dead is that show. Talking Dead, of course, is riding on the web. That's what it is. You know, as like this show, I mean, we exist because of the show. So that's why it's so good.

But the, you know, the other shows like Fear, not even close to the magic. And that's what I thought also about when Jadis was talking to your boy. In the tent? In the junkyard. Oh, in the junkyard, okay. But she says, go with her. And we have to go, if we leave right now, it would be quite a ways, but we can live the life we wanted. I thought, wow, that's where they hook up with fear.

No, because they would go. He thinks that, but I think she was talking about go with her with the helicopter, not acting like as... The helicopter's not going to take her. She's already been... Because the guy said, which you've been paid. Have you seen that insurance commercial with Aaron Rogers where he has his agent and the state farm agent or whatever?

And the agent was like, well, I didn't expect to get a rival today, but here we are. I was saying the same thing while staring right at Father Gabriel's one good frickin' eye. Here we are, buddy. It's okay, man. There's the LG Walker romance. Commercial's right.

Let's talk about commercials. The Walker romance. The LG commercial is on point. Yeah. So good. It was so good. You know what? This is a larger conversation.

But Walking Dead has always done, or the people that buy spots have always done a good job with Walking Dead. I've never seen it with another show, really. Very few. But I remember last season or a couple seasons ago was like a Nissan commercial. Remember where there were like people walking through like a, yeah, yeah. And they run across, you know, the Nissan. But, I mean, that really is the future of advertising. Because how many people just fast forward through commercials nowadays

because they DVR stuff or whatever? Like, I mean, everyone does that now. But, I mean, more shows need to follow in these footsteps. Like, make it interesting like that. Like, I did not want to fast forward through that at all. No, you watched it. Make it like Super Bowl commercials. He watches.

I mean, those are even better than the Super Bowl commercials because they're inside the show. I mean, that's what makes the... Right. Right. The idea of entertainment, whether it be radio or television or whatever medium you use, is to fill time between commercials. I mean, that's what we're here for.

Yeah. Right. I mean, obviously, we're here to give you information and have fun and talk about the show or do whatever you're listening for. But the main point is to sell advertising so that you, the listener, purchase the product and they give us money, and then you give them money, and then your boss gives you money. It's a big circle.

It's called capitalism. Beautiful thing. That's why you hear so many commercials on this show. This show brought to you by... Crap. Anyway. And then we didn't even talk that much about Carol.

No, she's... Look, she's ready. I mean, she's more... She, again, in her circle. She wants to be... She wants to be with Rick. She feels that. But she even told Rick, look, when she was in the middle, all I wanted to do was kill him.

Yeah. I pulled my guy. All I wanted to do was shoot him. And I didn't because of you. But she's pissed at herself for second guessing because she would have just liked to kill him. Oh, and then there was that one good, that scene just with the two saviors and Rick and Carol, where the one savior had Carol by the neck. Oh, yeah. That was an amazing scene.

Another inner circle, though, right? Carol and Rick are there. and you know there's nothing they can't do. Because Carol is just looking at him like, I got my knife, you know I've got my knife. Just in there, just let it go. And then Rick was just like, okay. Right, because as soon as he drops that knife,

I'm going to stab him right in the freaking head. It was a beautiful thing. No, he didn't. She stabbed him in the, I think, in the shoulder blade. Okay, so she missed the head. Back off me. They let him live. They let him live, remember that.

That was only because Rick's. there. Wuss. All right. So we do have, you know, we've got two episodes left of Rick.

We'll see how, we'll see how it plays out. If they, if it's, if they, if they, I hope that they're going to at least, uh,

give us a thing where they say, uh, two episodes of Rick, uh, alive left, but we're still going to, you know, you're still going to see Rick in thoughts and prayers and,

you know, everybody's going to be thinking about Rick. And it, it just seems like they are taking a big risk. saying that this is it. Yeah. This is it. I'd say what, man.

I have no idea. I don't know. Like, I guess Rick has got to, like, die, like, in the name of, you know, this project. You know, this new, like, you know, a community project to where it helps somehow helps them reconcile the past, but say, okay, what Rick wants is the way forward. I don't know how that happens. But he's got to be the symbol that brings. them together. It's got to be, right?

Right. Either that or the whisperers show up and they have to band together regardless and put aside their differences regardless. Right. Which is what happened. Which is actually what... In the comics, they had to all work together to fight the whisperers, no matter

what. And I'm okay with that as long as we slowly throughout that battle kill the saviors. No, because... By attrition eventually. Oops. We don't have to deal with them anymore. We're fighting the whispers, I know. Sorry. Crap! The Savior was...

The Savior was actually a pretty good part in fighting the whisperers. And that's kind of what kind of redeemed Negan at the end of it. And even, spoiler alert for the comics, even he mentions to the saviors, will you lead me, will you follow me again? And then they say, and then one of them, Neil Stingian, say, I am Neegan. Guess what Negan does do him. Punch him square in the face.

Why the hell would you follow me again after what I've done? You know, you and I are going to have to talk about this whole Negan apology. We can't see him next episode. All right. We'll definitely will see him. And I appreciate it. Thanks for listening. Looking forward to the next two episodes for sure, though.

Definitely. So. But will you keep watching after two episodes? It's an important question. Because I think a lot of people won't. It's an important question. And Andrew Lincoln actually teased a bloody death of Rick Grimes because he, uh, he, uh, he's said in an interview, I remember when I was reading the script, I asked, how many

pints of blood does a human have? See, again, I think that's a mistake because, and I know we're going long, and we'll wrap it up here, but I think that's a huge mistake because, and I guess we could have a time jump or go back in time, and then Rick could be back alive if he wants to come back to work again, but, you know, they'll find a way. But I'm telling you, he said he wanted to stop working because he's been working. He wanted to be with his family. The kids are getting bigger.

He didn't want to keep dragging them back into the States from the United Kingdom. He wanted to go back home and be with his family. I give that year, year and a half. Maybe hire some American freaking actors, and you won't have this problem. I do that was coming. Dude. Just stop. Leave them across the little pond and their stupid little freaking island over there

and hire some American freaking actors. I'm looking at you AMC and I'm looking at you Star Wars. I know. Well, actually, Screw British actors. Screw them. You said that there was a,

there were some American, you said there aren't any American actors taking over the British scene. That has changed recently. There is two American actors, which are coming up in this big movie coming out. What is the movie? The movie is Bohemian Rhapsody.

Oh yeah, because Rami Malik. The two actors are Rami Malik and Joe Mazzello playing Freddie Mercury and John Deakin. They were both American actors. That's right. Playing British people. Screw the queen.

Take that chick. It doesn't make up for what they've done. It doesn't make up for it, but it's a good start. So how about that, queen? Screw the queen, not the band queen. Right. That's what I meant. Screw the monarch queen.

But my point is that that's going to last about year. year and a half. And the wife and the kids are going to go, don't you have work to go to? You know, it's really great seeing you around every day, dad, but don't you have someplace to go for a little while? So he's going to want to start working again. Guaranteed.

And he's going to say, you know, I probably should have probably rode the wave out with Walking Dead for another one or two years. And then I could have just lived off that. Guaranteed awesome paycheck every season. And huge fame and notoriety. Pissing it all away. I know, just to go back to the United Kingdom.

You know what? Maybe hire some American actors. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see you next week.
