talking walking dead on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome. Those of you watching on the good cast, I'm telling you, no expenses were spared. The no expenses were spared on that. You are welcome.

Jason Butcham. Brad Staggs on the phone since he's home recuperating from his surgery. His surgery, yes, the surgery that he has for the change. And Sean Foster, we actually gave him a mic this week, so we're good for that. I got to tell you, I thought it was pretty darn good. This was episode 16, is that it was?

Yeah. Which is the, how many Walking Dead episodes? Ninety-ninth episode. Dang. Come on. 100th episode for the season 8 premiere then. Pretty cool. That's dope.

That is pretty cool. I better do something special. I was, there was a couple of things. I wished a couple more people would have died. That's just me. There was like 30 that died at the end. They don't count. Those were soldiers.

They were part of the battle. I wanted Simon dead. I was so hoping that Shiva had jumped on Simon. The first time she jumped in like that, I was praying that was Simon. We didn't even see Simon the entire battle, did we? I only remember seeing him at the down trees. Did he even go the entire way? because I don't remember seeing me in Alexandria.

Yeah, he was like hiding in the back or something, right? That's weird. He was there. Yeah, he was there. And it was... I know he's there. I really wanted him to get Shiva around the head. I do not remember seeing him there.

That's strange. Yeah, because all of a sudden, then they were back at the Savior world. Right? They were all there, wondering, ready to get Eugene a hard time for killing Sasha. But Eugene had a pretty good excuse. So this is, first by the... Saved him. Did they start...

They started with the conversation with Nigan and Sasha? Is that how it started? I don't remember. Yeah, it started with her in the casket. They bounced around. Oh, that's right. That's right. And then they bounced around.

And they had the... Well, I'll tell you what we'd do... We can go through just a quick rundown of the tweets. Whoever was running the AMC Twitter feed last night. It must have been new, which I'm a little surprised at. But it really actually wouldn't surprise me because we had someone new running their Twitter account. And why in the world would you put into the Badlands on immediately following the Walking Dead season finale when you had talking Walking Dead with the big stars and the guests waiting, just waiting another hour? That was a bad call on the AMC's part.

Made no, no, no, no. No, no, no. That was them. They knew everyone would sit through Badlands. Yeah, but they wanted. That's enough to make you, that's enough to make you angry at the network. don't do it. I'm serious. As long as the numbers are up on badlands, remember.

No, I don't give a crap about badlands. That's my point. Okay, I know you want me to watch it. I know you're ramming it down my throat. I got it. You've done that for two or three weeks now. But it's the season finale. Let's not, you know, I know we're drifting off the road here of talking

Walking Dead and we're going into AMC business meetings, which I have never been a part of. And they're lucky because I would have shot this down. But I just think it was a bad call. That's all. Well, I mean, remember what they did in the last, and I know, mid-season finale. And I know you're a little, you know, an AMC suck up.

Brad, I got it. I know that. You're always for the money and the numbers. I never know where my next job is coming from. I have to do a lot of suck it up around town. I know where the last one was. Anyway. Thank you.

You're welcome, no problem. So anyway, we had the, you know, we started out with the flashback love. Right, I'm just going down my Twitter line of what I tweeted about. Flashback Love with Sasha and Abraham. It was so good to see Abraham again. And then they brought Sasha breakfast because I said, okay, now I want pancakes. And Darrell really will kill him too. So then we went into Darrell and.

Let's go per tweet. All right, let's go. And then that'll, so like the very first opening scene. All right. So the very first tweet is, wake up. Time for Dead. Show will begin. Push on to the next one.

The next one is my. favorite tweet of the night, AM season finale time, professional-ish commentary provided by Jeffrey MRA, the Blaze Brad, and Jason Butchrell, by Vince the Real Owsley. Thank you very much. And then a flashback love. So we get into flashback love. Yeah. Now that felt so good to see Abraham again. I forgot how much I missed that character. I know you really did like him. I liked Abraham. I know you did, because he liked him a lot. Military love. That's what I think is. Yeah. He's not really in the military? He was good. And plus, that was like a different side of, of Abraham

that we saw. I mean, he was just a lot more, I don't know, low-key. You know what? He wasn't like saying, like, stupid, smart-allicky things, or he wasn't trying to be all tough? He was just different. I was just trying to get some. Right. Wasn't it great, though? They bring Abraham back, but all they bring back of Glenn is the watch. Yeah.

That's fine with me. They spent too much money on Shiva again. They couldn't afford Glenn. That's fine with me. I'm sick of the whole bunch of them. We get it. We get that Glenn's dead. I don't need to see. I know. I know. I understand why they brought Abraham back for Sasha's to, you know, her whole character's scene, hey, it's my time to not sacrifice myself, to sacrifice myself for the greater good. Right.

That's why he had to bring that back and I kind of respect that. Yeah, that was good. You're right. She deserves that. She deserves that much. There's no doubt about that. But the, then they, you know, the whole Glenn with Maggie and her little, you know, poetry poem at the end and love, you know. It makes sense.

It was getting the season. So the whole season was, okay, great. He's touching. Maggie is really starting the show. Not at all. Not at all. That's kind of weird. I noticed that, too.

I mean, we don't, can't we put a pillow on her or something? I mean, did we spend, we spent so much money on the damn tiger? We can't afford a pillow to pretend that she's pregnant? It was a pretty tiger attack, though. I mean, that's tiger's foodling. It was pretty awesome seeing that. Yes, it was. That was great.

It was great timing. It looked great. It was good to have it. I mean, Negan, I mean, Rick was right in the middle of, you're thinking, Rick, what are you doing, man? He's got to you by the balls. We're skipping ahead. What was the next tweet? Oh.

Thank you, Jason. Okay, the next tweet was, okay, now I want pancakes. What was that? Negan brought her breakfast. It said that today's your day, and it's a beautiful thing. This is when you're going to, you know, this is it. This is going to be the deal. This is going to be the deal.

And then that's when, you know, they walked her out and, uh, uh, let's his face, Eugene gave her the iPod. But Negan had one of the best lines he's ever said ever during that scene. When they were closing the casket. No, before that. When he was inside. Oh, wait, was it then? No, it was before.

Yeah, they were still in the cell. Yeah, he said if you were a dude. Yeah, he said if you had a D. Oh, that's right. Because when they were closing the casket, he was like, damn. So freaking hilarious, man. Jeopardy Morgan is like, he's starting to grow up me as Negan. Like, there were some people that were, like, complaining about it.

Oh, I thought it was. But, yeah, that was just so good. That had me rolling. That's the character. Yeah, me too. Cracking up. Yeah, me too. That was a character.

No question. And I thought, I have a couple times I thought, oh, nice, nice. I can't believe they're letting that fly. Yeah. I loved it. Yeah. Because those are lines. You can say anything.

Right. To some extent. Yeah. Yeah. Right. They can only go so. I mean, they've pushed it pretty far. I'm trying to remember the exact actually quote.

Oh, if you had a D, I'd still have these feelings. That's what it was. Yeah, even if you had a, even if you had a D. The big D. You know, the male organ. But later, then, you know, I don't know if they went to play basketball or not. You know, that workwear, I love that workwear. The Dickies workwear?

Right. It fits so well. I used to wear those as a kid. My mom forced me to wear Dickies. Right. Those are huskies. Yeah. Don't bring up the fast stuff.

If you had to wear husky dickies, then that would be... You're welcome. Probably couldn't get away with that. You're welcome. Did they go straight from... Sorry to digress here, boys, but did they go straight to the Dwight, Daryl Rick dialogue right after that? Yeah. It was in between.

Yeah, because that's when I put down that Darrell really wants to kill him, too. Dude, I was like, the way Dwight was all talking through it so easily. Like, oh, it'll be simple. I'll do this, you'll do that, then we'll just go move on from every outpost to the next outpost, blah, blah, blah, blah. I was like, oh my God, every time they talk about things that easily, you know it's going to fail miserably. His plan failed misery anyway. They didn't get to go anywhere near his plan. Right.

Because Negan showed up with him on the first trip. How did Dwight not know about that double cry? You would think that he would know. He wasn't there. Right? I don't think nobody knows about Negan and the garbage people. I just thought it was weird. That's a major part of the plan.

So how did he not know about the plan? I think he knew about it after he left. So he just couldn't. There's no way to contact them. He just couldn't tell Rick about it. Right. Because, I mean, he had been gone. That makes sense.

He had been gone and he was away, went back, and then they decided this. So he told, you know, he was in on it after he already left Alexandria. Yeah. But that's why he left the little chess piece. Oh, what did that chest piece say? I didn't know. It said didn't know. All right.

Oh, God. I didn't even catch that. Okay. I was wondering what the significance of what is. That's why I'm here, even when I'm not there. Details. Details. I catch the details.

Thank you. We really appreciate you. You're welcome. Something extra in my check this week, I hope. I want the garbage. I know, see, we're going to digress, and Jason's going to get mad at me. But I want the garbage pale head. I want her dead now.

Yeah. And in the old walk, I believe that in the old school walking dead episodes, Rick would have put a bullet between her eyes and moved on. I wanted that happened so bad last night I could freaking taste it. But look at the escape, though, those guys. I mean, their setup was great. Like, they threw to smoke grenades and just disappeared. The double cross was great.

There was no doubt about that. That was a good move on their part. Rick deserved that. He kind of figured it out. Well, Rick deserved it, though, because he let the whole garbage play-all-kid thing happen without too much vetting. No thought whatsoever. Like this is a major thing and he just, what, off of two conversations with them?

Well, two barely conversations, guns, yes. Right. Right now. Yeah. Win war. You can't have a conversation with that. How do you figure out if that's real or not? When we will.

When Jadis first showed up to Alexandria. We and Jeffrey were just talking about this off air, but when she walked up and she said something to Mishon about like, oh, does he belong to you? and then Michone's like, uh, well, you know, we're together. And then she said something and she's like, I will, I will lay with him when this is over. Yeah. And do you see Rick? I will lay with him after.

Did you see Rick's, his retreat cracked me up. Like he just like, he didn't even say anything. He like took two steps back, then looked up back off into his left at like a tree. And then just kind of mosey turned around and got the hell out. As Rick knows, thank God, I'll be, I'll be rid of Mishone. Even with her, I'm rid of Mishone. I know. No, I'm tired of her, too.

She needs to go. You guys are... Now I know, I've been wondering what Jadis reminds me of. For the longest time I've been trying to figure it out. She looks exactly like Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber. Only with a little bit... Yeah, kind of. The face with the bowl cut front is exactly like Jim Carrey.

That's very funny. That's right. That's right. That's very funny. And then, so now we have... Well, then we got a... I got a tweet from Walking Dead that asked me, do you expect to...

major character to die during tonight's season finale. And I clicked, of course. I clicked, of course, yes. And 67% said yes. 16% said no, 18% say, I don't know. And then I tweeted, you are not letting me do anything. That was what Negan said. Remember, you are not letting me do anything.

I was like, think about it. You are not letting me do nothing. Let's get that clear before we go any farther. My name is Negan. It was fairly obvious that Sasha was going to be the one-off. Oh, yeah, we all knew that, right. She's still a major character. She's still a major character.

But who wasn't last week or did I read it somewhere that even hinted at her becoming a walker and that they would spring her on Alexandria without knowing that she was a walker. But that got turned back on the stages. Oh, yeah, we did talk about that last week. Was it, Sean? With what they did on fear, right? We talked about, we rash up. I remember you talked a little bit about it, Brad.

Is that what you're waiting for you? You're waiting for us to say, why, Brad, it was you? You're so smart. With the back of the head. Oh, no. Was it me? Oh, Brad, it was you, dummy.

Don't you know? Gosh, I'm better than I thought it was. It's a little thing. We did talk about it on this show, though. I'm very disappointed also that we did not. I'm telling you, we're right on Enid. I think it's done. I still think so.

We are right on it. Just the way she asked, there was a thing that happened. last night where she asked a question and the way she asked it, I thought, perfect. That's you. The conversation with Jesus when they were walking out. Yes.

About the attack. Like, do we want to help them right now? Yes. What'd she say? It was something, it was just something the way she asked it, I'm telling you, she's guilty. She's her, she's our mall.

The Jadis thing kind of throws, I won't say it's a wrench. It just, it doesn't, the genius doesn't know anything, didn't know anything about. She's just another possibility. on who the little birdie could be. It's just another possibility.

Well, that's true. Yeah, but she doesn't speak in complete sentences. How the hell did she tell the Savior's what was going to happen in four words? No. They knew they were gathering guns. So I think, I mean, the Jays didn't know they were gathering guns because they came back with the guns from the community. So I think the plan was, hey, they're trying to stock on ammunition. Be careful.

And that's what Nigen went there for anyway. You know what I just had a thought. straight out of nowhere. Follow me through on this. So remember the, what they couldn't tell if it was a bird or a plane on that one?

Yeah. The little birdie? I wonder if she is sending some kind of messages like that. That would make sense. Eden? No, this would be Jadis. We like the pigeons?

You mean at the heatster. Right. At the garbage stuff when we saw the thing in the background. Exactly, yeah. So you think that she's like sending pigeon messages? It's possible, and that would be the little birdie.

It is possible, and it would be a little birdie, right? We haven't seen the... It's actually a little birdie. We have not seen anybody, you know, take care of birds, though, in Saviorland. Uh-uh. You know, we haven't seen any big nest or anything because you can't... I mean, you know, I get the whole pigeon delivery system, and you have to have quite a...

You have to have a pretty good-sized cage for them to land them to land. Is that how it works? Yes, I don't know if you know that or not. The roof. We haven't seen the roof of the next door. No, we have not seen the roof yet, but I am well aware of how pigeons work. This is blowing my mind. This conversation.

You're the one that started it. We're solved at all. You were the one that started it. You took us on that rabbit. Wow. Yes, you did. Wow. I used to work for a guy that.

Breaking news here. I used to work, Mr. Wallace, man. That's what he did. That's what he did. George, I love that old man. He used to, that's what he did and raise pigeons for message systems. We should have him as a guest on the show. He's dead, not long dead.

Ah, shoot. Oh, God. You heard it here first. You did. You heard it here first. Another one that we're going to break. But it could be. Now, I'll tell you, now, all right, well, I guess the garbage pale kids could be the ones.

I just want her dead. I want all them dead. We have a season coming up to figure out what's going to happen. I'm so sick of the garbage pale people. I'm sick of it already. I want them all gone. There's going to be a bigger war. And Rick's going to get back at the garbage pale people.

We know where they, they know where they live. Yeah. They know they have ammunition. They should attack them. I loved it when they arrived, you know, the battle bikes. They were on their battle bikes. And they were all riding in garbage trucks. You notice that?

Yeah. That was kind of, yeah. Yeah. And then I loved the double cross. I was watching with my father-in-law. And he's sitting on the sofa, I just hear, son of a bitch, those damn garbage people. Never trust.

The witch and the garbage. It was really good. He had this look at his face. He's like, son of a bitch. It was damn garbage people. Didn't see it coming. That was really good. That was fantastic.

Did everyone pretty much guess it when Sasha came tumbling out that that was what was going to happen? Yeah. I mean, I mean, I should be a walker. No question. Yeah. But I also respected how Carl was the first person to fire his gun. Oh, he was on it. Yeah.

That soon as he came out of that casket. Dude, he was like freaking John Wick. All of a sudden, man. He was waiting for the shot, man. He waited for it. I started clapping. I was like, car. I did too.

He was straight up John Wick at that point. Yeah, that was really good. That was really good. He is a little psychopath. Yeah, he is. I mean, Negan said it. So? Yeah.

There's nothing wrong with it. I'm just saying. He's a little psychopath. They all are. And I'm pretty sure we didn't we call the lineup? Didn't someone in this group call the second lineup? Oh, that was me. Okay.

You're as bad as Brad. Suck it, Brad. Here's bad as Brad. Who was that called? Oh, that's with me. Congratulate me. All right, so here's the deal. And then we, you know, we ended it.

We had the end and everybody's, you know, we're going to go to war and we're all back together and we know there's going to be a war. Negan had his soldiers. We don't know where the garbage pill people went. We assumed they went back to the garbage heap. and Alexandria, along with the kingdom, are, you know, licking some wounds, and then we're, then we'll battle on for season eight. So, Saturday night on the Blaze Radio Network, at 8 p.m. Central, 9 p.m. Eastern.

We're going to have a special broadcast for the Talking Walking Dead show. Saturday Night Dead. I'm telling him we're going to have a dead party. Jason's going to be there. Sean's going to be there. Brad's going to be there. I'm going to be there. We'll bring in some other people, and we're going to talk nothing but Walking Dead for a couple hours. anyway. Maybe we'll go for three hours. We'll see. But we'll start it at 9.

We'll talk in 888727 Beck, or whatever the 888-903-33. All the numbers will be open at that time. You can dial in. And we'll talk about, we'll talk Walking Dead. We'll get your thoughts. We'll have our thoughts. And we'll play some sound clips and we'll have fun. Maybe we'll have some, you know,

might bring some pizza. I mean, you can't do it a Saturday night show without pizza. Could we give away a t-shirt? We could give away more than one t-shirt. We absolutely could. There is a girl from Canada that listens to this, and we just need to send her one. So how about if we just...

I mean, if you notice, I can't remember her name. I need to find the tweet. No, but she was willing to pay $50 Canadian for one. Because why can't she order... Canadians can't order these shirts? I don't get it. Oh, no, they don't allow this in Canada. Well, okay, so she should call in,

if you call in, Jeffrey will send you one of these for free, I think. Right? Wow. Maybe not. I mean, maybe you'll send the one I gave you. Maybe you'll send the one I don't know what will happen. Detail. I mean, just because you want some, you know, hook up in Canada when you show up in the north of the border.

I mean, I'm just saying, you know, whatever. I don't know what's going on with you. I'm just trying to throw some, you know, little birdies out there. Now, Jason. Jason just wants some favors he can collect later on. Right. Right. I said Jeffrey was an ascendant. Not me. Yeah, well, yeah, you would have claimed Arkansas.

That's right. Who's the one that took care of that shirt for you? Oh, yeah. Me. So anyway, overall, you thought, overall, Sean, what do you think? That was a good episode. It wasn't the best season finale, episode that I've seen in a while. but I can't wait to see the 100th episode.

They have to come up with a bang, but what do you come back with the season premiere after you saw Glenn's head get bashed in? I think that was one of the better, stronger season premiere. I think so, too. What do you do for a hundredth episode? Like, it's, what's the storyline going to be going further now? Like, we know there's going to be a bigger war,

but how do you intro the season eight? I mean, I think you've got to maybe go back and maybe revisit some of the flashbacks, right? bring back some of the old faves for maybe the beginning of the show or something. Just maybe flashback people as they're cleaning their weapons, getting ready for war, their flashback thinking about. I mean, yeah, maybe Maggie's going to have the baby since she's not really pregnant. So we can go back to season eight with the...

Wait, what? What? She's just not showing yet. Okay. So, yeah, that could be the baby. We don't know what happened with Dingleberry either. With... Yeah, yeah.

We don't know with Gregory. With Gregory, right? I mean, he's still around. We didn't seem the whole episode, so he's probably still at Hilltop, just wading around with the other people. That's true, busting around. Well, I dug it. I thought it was awesome.

I loved the Shiva part at the end, like, right during the lineup, and Shiva came out there and ripped that dude's face off. I was, like, I didn't know what to think at that point. I pretty much figured that nothing was going to happen to Carl. But I wasn't expecting the Shiva mall right at that moment. That was dope. I knew something was going to break the tension because the tension was so intense. That's the scene

That's the scene between that entire scene of Negan and Rick and Carl was tremendous. That was really a great scene. And Rick wasn't being like a little puss. No, he was not. He was actually being Rick. It was a really good scene. I thought Michone was going to be the one to save.

Because I didn't know, we didn't know how long the fight was happening. So I thought Michone was going to be the one to take a shot until they went back to her. Yeah. She was still getting beat to a problem by. She was getting destroyed. She was, dude, what the heck. When we will. Yeah.

But anyway, so I enjoyed it. I love the scenes with Abraham. I loved everything. They bounced around. They didn't play too many commercials, I didn't think, which they ruined the last, like, the season finale or in the mid-season opening. I didn't see one commercial during the entire episode. Oh, here we go again.

Yeah. It was a good episode, uninterrupted. Yeah, but you didn't have the fun of live tweeting on the show. Exactly. People were asking for you, and you were being tagging. and tweets, and from now on, that won't happen. I was sedated. I was simply sedated.

All right, so thanks for listening to Talking Walking Dead on the Blaze Radio Network. Brad Stags, Jason Butchrell, Sean Foster, myself, Jeff Fisher. We appreciate it very much. Talking Walking Dead. We will have the very special Talking Walking Dead, a little Saturday night dead party this Saturday on the Blaze Radio Network.
