🎵 Now I want to get one thing out of the way. Right at the top. You go. I don't want to hear anything. Okay? Okay. I'm putting something in the bunker. Oh, go on.

It's the dog that Chanel walked down the fucking runway in the finale of all-stars season nine you will not be hearing any any ounce of resistance from me i thought as much and i'm very relieved where did she pack that what the fuck was that it was like maybe my favorite thing i've seen on drag race ever perhaps ever would you like one i wish i was that dog sometimes people come at you with points of references you don't understand like someone who was raised entirely in a cave and came out into the light and said i don't know let's do a dog yeah for my final look final look is really hard Because it's normally kind of generic Ball gown

And to still find a way To do it as if the theme was Pet Like why Also like the outfit Was like a bejeweled mesh Yeah She made such a point of saying

This is how glamour can look without fabric yes well we was that in discussion yeah um but what did that outfit have to do with walking a dog when you're glamorous darling that might be what one would wear yeah um i loved it i loved everything about it but i just wanted to say that really yeah the kind of logic that only applies if you live in the world created for the milf money music video absolutely like if you live in that neighborhood that's the dog walker for that neighborhood yeah i'm lazy susan and i'm zelda moon and this is death to everyone welcome listener i'm sullying your to you oh pardon me i didn't even i didn't even acknowledge you in the room i jumped ahead i did

i love you listener love yeah do you not love listener listener you know what i'm not one to say i love you a lot i think growing up i was like no like no but in like a little kid that's like i love you no but like as a teenager to like my friends maybe and then like in my 20s like early 20s yeah it was a bit more of like a like love you no no i like say that exceptionally rarely and often under pressure. Only when I'm getting choked. Yeah. I nearly said it the other day. Help me. You said help me or I love you?

Because they mean the same thing. Yeah. But I didn't. Instead I said. Which is also I love't. Instead, I said, which is also, I love you. Yeah. So many different ways in our culture to say I love you. Yeah.

Yeah. So this is our podcast, listener. You know this, but perhaps you don't, listener. And what we do on this podcast, well, of course, we're calling in from the celestial void. Ring, ring. And we've made some judgments, some harsh judgments, perhaps, but judgments nonetheless. Darling, the end of times is nigh. Yeah. And we do want to preserve some things for the next generation, Degrassi next generation.

And we feel well equipped to do it. And we will. Yeah. And we have been. to do it And we will And we have been And here we are And we also are occasionally assisted by Our incredible space car driver Beep beep

Beep beep Matt, I told you, get the horn fixed You can't just yell beep beep while we're driving That's how it sounds when I press it I recorded my own voice onto the horn There was, okay, so hot off the press, Comic-Con is happening right now. Oh.

And there was footage released in a timely manner today that I'm going to send to you now, Matthew, okay? Okay. Just so you can see perhaps, you know, an artist's rendition of the space car um from the fantastic four i don't know it's fantastic okay so for context listener zelda is referencing a clip from one of the convention halls at hall h oh is that the big one maybe it's a big one it's the big one it's not's the big one? It's the big one

It's not for the girls It's one for Jessica Kirby or whatever And they had the Fantastic Four on stage But then they flew They flew a car across the stage A futuristic looking model of a car Yeah But did the Fantastic Four drive in a space car?

Is that a thing from the comics? No, it's not Is it? Oh Do you know? I don't know. Resident Marvel. I've never seen that.

Well, the whole setup of this particular version of the Fantastic Four is retrofuturism. So they're in an alternate universe and it's like, you know, that 60s vision of the future. Yeah. So it's very like Jetson kind of vibe. That's fun. So quite fun. It looks like a Jetson car, not really. Yeah.

Which I think will be quite a camp, fun world for them to play in. Yeah. Stark contrast. Stark. To other Fantastic Four versions that we've seen thus far. But who knows how that will land. I'm sure in the same way that everything is landing from that production company at the moment. With a dull thud.

Yes. That we will soon forget. But yes, space car realized. Yeah, and the space car, I couldn't figure out how it was flying. I couldn't see the cause. There's no ropes. At first I thought it was doing that thing that they did in Hot Department with that plant. But no.

No one knows what you're talking about. Yeah, but the two people who do were like. No, you know, like if you were like holding an object behind a curtain and you couldn't see your hand, but the object appeared to be floating. Yeah, you like use a bar to the object. Or your hand. Or your hand and concealed like basically by the perspective that you have. Yes. Instead of having, like, cords or lines in full view,

but they're, like, thin enough that you can't see them. Which I do still suspect. But it went from curtain land to screen land. It went past the LED. Isn't it amazing the kind of engineering to make a space car fly around Hall H at Comic Con Can produce an effect that is simultaneously impressive And so underwhelming

It moves so slowly And they're all just sitting there slowly watching it And you're like, wow, that is a space car. Yeah. And it's flying. I can't even see how, but I'm not. And now what? Yeah.

I guess we just watch it. Like birds are flying every day. I'm not impressed. I was thinking that it was going to stop at the stage and someone was going to hop out. That would have been cool. Yeah. Like. Didn't do that.

Galactus or something. But no. You're once again talking about things that no one knows Yeah But anyway, space cars, so fun So fun, so real But that takes us to this place in time And space

And I'd love to know What have you been doing this week with your time in space? My time in space has been spent Back at the Fitzroy North Library where I spend my days although I keep having this awful experience because I'll go and I'll sit down on my laptop in the big main study area there's a study area on the second floor don't stalk me there don't steal my teeth and cut out my hair And keep me in a small garage

For many years Don't make me a pariah I don't want that kind of attention But When I sit there I had for a while A bit of paranoia about going on public wifi Because I heard that it's a very easy way

To have your information stolen if you connect to a wi-fi there's actually not a wi-fi and that someone's like i don't know i'm not an it i'm not an it obviously you don't think i look like i could work in it i'm pasty and white i have bug eyes true yeah true. I have no muscle mass to speak of. I could work in IT. Anyway. So I instead was hotspotting. And listener, hotspotting is not where you take your last little nuggies of weed and put them between two butter knives you heated up on top of a stove and then whiff in the fumes when you press them together, like I had thought.

It's where you turn on your phone and you're able to connect your iphone's internet and then you're able to hot spot but say do you listen you're in the library and then you go into the wi-fi thing and then you see iphone and you try and connect and then you realize that that is not, in fact, your iPhone. And that someone on their thing nearby is getting like, Robert, trying to connect to your Wi-Fi. It's so embarrassing. And we're all there in silence. And I have to look down and make sure no one looks at me suspiciously.

Yeah. It's awkward. That is. Trying to connect to someone else's Wi-Fi. What about being sent, because you know our accident in the bunker is being sent accidental nudes. What about like Bluetooth, like. Airdropping. Like Susie Lou's airdrops on and you send her a cheeky photo of you holding a piece of lettuce.

Yeah, I think about that all the time. I think about accidentally airdropping things to people. Because also iPhone is just iPhone. How do you know whose iPhone it was? You've named your iPhone? Mine is, I forget that mine is named. And then Robert's iPhone comes up and I'm like, that's me. Sorry, I didn't mean.

Is that your iPhone name? Yeah. Wow. Why? Because you're a very creative person and then your iPhone's just called Robert's iPhone? You need to be careful about where you invest your creative energy. If it's like picking a wallpaper for your phone, I pity you. Like you need to spend time doing things.

True. Listen, she doesn't have a personalised wallpaper Which is so fucking crazy Who cares What about mine it's so cool I have the X-Men I have Kitty Pryde Jean Grey

Emma Frost Magic A bit of Mystique A little bit of Moonstar I would say you have very little Mystique And Rogue Far too much is known about you And Lockheed the dragon is there.

But you're still single. I had a question about Lockheed. You're still single. Trivia and it didn't land. You need to have your phone background with something zany so that when people see it, they can go, I have a similar interest to you. Let's talk about it for 10 to 15 minutes while we drink a beverage. Oh, yes.

You know? That mystery is dead. You got to try and impress people. That's right. There's still reasons. Show me yours. What it red into blue swirl yeah yeah okay i mean i just i i don't like people knowing that i don't want you know like when people have like yes you live such a discreet life but that's for people that like uh already self-selecting to be people that I kind of want to have something to do with. Like someone on the train, in the street.

My dream is to dress, drive, and have a phone that is as anonymous as possible. Like, I want to look like... Lazy Susan. Dressed, driven, and... And devised as anonymous because you know I just I just don't want attention when I don't want attention and then when I want attention I want attention yeah but like the cut like I don't want that weird middle attention that's like, oh, I like your shoes. I love your iPhone background. Ew!

I see. I want you to be astounded by me or nothing at all. I see. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Ew! I love that little thing about you. What are you doing at the library?

Why? That's what we're asking here. Oh, sorry. I thought you were attacking me. I love the library? Why? That's what we're asking here. Oh, sorry. I thought you were attacking me. I love the library. Also, is this the library that's near Chop Shop? Yes. Like that one with the windows? Fitzroy Library's great. Like the porthole windows. Not Fitzroy Library, it's Fitzroy North Library. Oh, sorry. That's what I meant. Fitzroy North? Isn't it North Fitzroy? Yeah, pardon me. Okay. The library actually has a name, but I don't know it.

Little Book Hole. It's got like an indigenous name. Oh. That is like means Little Book Hole. Yeah. That's cute. But it's got a rooftop garden. What?

I mean, honey, North Fitzroy is living high. Yeah. Fat on the lamb. But it's so chic. And they have all hours. You can go. If you do an induction, you can go there all hours. Wow.

And they have a gaming section. Even 3 a.m., the witching hour. You could go there and find their book of spares and do little witches from the rooftop. I recommend everyone check out your public library. You'll find so much to love. Although I'm like, where are the books? Turns out I'm not at the library. This is a Kmart, sir.

You need to leave. Wow. It is 24 hour, but we encourage two hour increments max. Yeah, no, I've been at the library because it's a great place to go where it is climate controlled and i can sit on my little laptop and type up my little stories my script that i'm working on but um i do have a thing about etiquette in the library of like can you like leave your laptop to go and piss oh because i have done both but like i hate to pack up my whole setup and then go to the bathroom and then come back and maybe my table's been taken.

Yes. It's very nerve-wracking. Or you roll the dice and you come back and everything's been taken, but not by you. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, that's stressful. And I also think about that when I've seen other people leave their laptop

and I wonder whether they think, oh, well, that suspicious but nondescript sweaty blonde man with very pale and no muscle mass, he'll defend my property if someone else comes to take it. To which I think, I don't recognize you when you come back. It could be anyone. I just don't have that good a sense. I wouldn't be like, that belongs to blah blah blah

Yeah I'd be like Oh that must be your stuff See that gives me the vibe of like Because like as You know like obvious gay people You have that air of I think I've spoken about this before

But like it happened to me today Where I was walking to the tram Behind a woman Walking a dog And I was walking much faster than she was but then i was like it was too awkward to try to overtake wait was the dog on wheels and being pushed by sadly no but i was then too close and there wasn't enough room to get around and we were near the end of the street so i just walked a meter and a half behind her yeah and i kept wanting to be

like so you look fabulous diva don't worry about me i'm just gonna scooch on past because she probably thought i was going to kill sling a noose around her neck and drag her into a van why do so many guys do that i don't know know. But not us, you know? Not us. You're not a laptop thief. We're going to sling a new necklace around your neck and hurl you into a compliment sandwich. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, similar, you know? Yeah.

Like, you're not going to steal my laptop. You're going to... I might come back. ...sass me for the case. Yeah, or you might come back and it's got a few, like, little presto jewels on it. You've got to watch out. on it yeah anyway how are you i'm good um yes what a long week it's been um i had a fabulous night of trivia last week oh i forgot about that i went to your trivia oh you didn't like the gardening round zelda you know like i feel like because means i'll like co-host a trivia yeah in the sense that one does one week

and one does the other week and it's like we have children and we've gotten a divorce yes and i'm like different parental styles yeah i I would say that the feeling that washed over me was that of a mother who has like organized the school lunches, made sure there's no uniforms, like made sure that they're fair, that they like, you know, I know all the teachers names. And then showing up to the dad's like squat house in the bad part of town. And he's like, like put them in front of the television and fed them like batteries and is just like babbling in the background about i don't know plants and deadpool you think that that's the experience you have coming to my trivia can i say i've been to your trivia actually well my trivia i will say is general trivia yeah your tell the listener what your final round was i i this is not about the plant round can i say yeah people loved the plant round that really landed there was which

was good and i feel like everyone experiences knows and their lives are but wildlife in various ways so i would say that is still general knowledge you have just as much chance to know some of those trivia questions about plant life yeah what zelda moon was the third round well yes the my trivia was on wednesday, which was also the release date of Deadpool and Wolverine. So, of course, I did a round of trivia on Deadpool and Wolverine. Which, I mean, that makes complete sense to me, darling. And as a generous equalizer, I put in three questions about Mad Men. Three questions about Mad Men.

So if perhaps you weren't up to date with Marvel lore, everyone's familiar with Peggy Olsen. So, you know, I just don't understand the criticism. And I'd encourage everyone to live. Luxuriously? No, just live. Give me one of the questions. The second question, perhaps.

Second question. Wait, you criticize something else and I'll pull them up. Well, so, I mean, Zelda did do an incredible spot number. Did you like that spot number? I thought it was quite funny. And she was doing such good work. But yes, I was just a bit concerned. Oh. By what?

The alienating nature of my questions? The second question for Deadpool and Wolverine was... Lister. Oh, yeah. Lockheed, the small purple dragon, is best known as the sidekick to which X-Men character? Matt? Matt?

I don't know. What do you mean you don't know who Lockheed is? The small purple dragon? I said about 20 minutes ago that he's on my wallpaper. Anyway, the answer, listener, is Kitty Pryde. But I was going to be generous and give a point if you said magic. But they're not sidekicks they're more friends is that that's just in the comics well lockheed is in the new mutants movie with bug eyes because

she plays magic iliana and is the dragon yeah the dragon is there yeah there's a dragon in those movies yes oh my god and that was in the film new mutants the new mutants yeah which everyone in that in in north pittsburgh and wednesday have seen i don't think that your audience but this is the thing i'm trying to as a drag queen is the same as your audience as you ever saw there's one like my name is who goes to it who goes to trivia yeah hosted by a drag queen called zelda and is shocked by a question about lockheed the dragon what do you expect if my name was big boobs divatron and i asked that question then maybe you'd be a bit more like, big boobs, this isn't what I was expecting.

But instead they said- You think the only way that your audience honed over many years during your- And I thought you would love this question, listener, spell Hugh Jackman's ex-wife Deborah's name, first name. Yeah, I think that was incredible. That was fun. That was a really good question. I thought that was really funny.

And then what about this question? But it was as it dawned on the audience that it was, because you didn't announce what the theme of the round was. I did. No one was listening. And then as it dawned on the audience that had not been listening, perhaps when you dutifully announced that it was. I think it was your table that wasn't listening.

Well, then... They were confused for the first four questions. Everyone looked so confused. At your table? No, I have eyes that go further than a metre. I have quite the depth perception. And I saw at other tables people be like, wait a minute.

What? Is this going to keep going? My favorite question of the night. Peggy Carter, the Avenger and love interest to Captain America, and Peggy Olsen, the secretary turned copywriter, share what in common? Matt? What's their name? Penny. Peggy. They're both called Peggy? The secretary turned copywriter Share what in common? Matt? Was it What's their name?

Penny Peggy They're both called Peggy? Yes! Trivia That's just Common sense Yeah

You're right So I had a great time Common sense I also got to perform An incredible Celine Dion number Yeah Because that's why I would.

Anyway. You don't have to justify yourself, Zoda. What do you mean? She's a member in the public eye. Occasionally she'll have to justify her bizarre rambling. You just do whatever you need to do and don't let the haters come for you. I think there's a fine line between haters and people that can perceive oddness. Is that what you classify yourself as?

Yeah, I have the strength of mind and the acuity to say, that's a bit weird. Well, I love it. Can't wait to see you all in a week and a half. And what are your rounds going to be this week, darling? You know, things people might know. Or not know. Perhaps i'll ask questions and then people will go and there'll be a sense of recognition on their faces they say i've vaguely heard of that thing i wonder if i'll get the answer see that's to be honest yeah that's

what my trivia lacks you either know the answer or you don't even understand the question. And I think that that's fun and funny, but I do see merit in like almost knowing the answer because it's general knowledge. I think it has to feel like you had a chance. No, see, there is no chance. That's the lesson from my trivia.

Oh, you're teaching the public. Cause yeah. Give up. If you're teaching the public. Because, yeah. Give up. If you don't know it, that's it. If you don't know about these niche specific things that you might only know if you're born in 1989 or whatever. And grew up and socialized at the exact same time and ways as me. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, we might go on our first break. Wait, the destruction of the earth Oh yeah It's time to destroy the world Oh, what's the apocalypse this week? Well, it is my week to decide And you know what? I was a bit inspired

By the recent weather patterns Oh, it is so chilly We both have little knit blankets. We do. Courtesy of Dandrogeny. I've got to give these back to you, Dan. Dandrogeny? Dandrogeny is not listening to this.

Dandrogible. I don't know that Dandrogeny knows how to operate that phone. No. But I was thinking about an arctic freeze. Oh. As previously discussed on the diamond episode, freeze oh um as previously discussed on the diamond episode um the fact that things are so brittle really frustrates me hard things being brittle like last night where i was at a friend's birthday party happy birthday and i went to pierce the cheese with the cracker because i couldn't you

know like there's only one knife and someone else was using the knife and i was like surely this cracker has enough integrity to cut through an extremely soft cheese and it shattered yes and everyone was looking everyone was looking everyone was looking and then there were crumbs in the cheese. And what was your response to everyone looking? I was like, oh, there's cracker. So brittle. I hate that. Yeah.

Anyway, but now I thought about an Arctic freeze, perhaps from a gigantic woman, I don't know. But it surrounded the earth in a kind of a vortex of cold. And at one point, a cracker, a regular cracker, falls from a table, perhaps at a birthday party. And the sheer impact that it has when it lands shatters the earth. I like that. And that's it.

That's good. I just love, I can't even think like this there's movies where like things get frozen and then they shatter yeah like oh you know when like wow yeah i'm in x-men but i'm sure in other things where like parts of things get really really cold and then you like break off the arm yes yeah and snowpiercer oh their punishment is put their arm out of the side of the train and shatter it off and then when they can pull their arm back in because it's like frozen world yeah they chop their arm they just tap their arm with like a hammer and it just shatters into yes just like that oh that has tilda in it doesn't it yeah

she played the octopus in The Boys. I hated every part of that sentence. And I think it's time that we'll be going to break. To my To my dream Hello! Hello! Welcome back from your break. Oh, what a great time. Now, what should we discuss first?

What's our first topic for today, Lady Susan? Well, let me tell you, Zelda Moon. I don't know if you know this, but the Olympics have begun once more. The Parisians have shot in the Seine. What? What? What? What did you say?

What? Did you not hear about this? Oh, because, no. What? Yeah. Yeah. They were trying, no, wasn't the prime minister of Paris or whatever going to be like, I'm swimming in the river to prove that it's just fine.

Because they want to hold events in the Seine. Oh, the triathlon. I think so. They wanted to have swimming in the Seine as part of the Olympics. The Olympics, which are like the big sporting matches, they're all held at the same time. Yeah. Just to, you know, and they do it every four years.

And unfortunately, I believe it's more than just ribbon twirling. Yeah. Now it's breakdancing as well. As well. As well. And I guess other things. Anyway. Discus.

I think it's funny because it's all the Z-list sports that get like one shining moment every four years. Yeah. z-list sports that get like one shining moment every four years yeah you couldn't have i don't know running yeah every like you couldn't people aren't filling out the mcg to watch a guy run but like they're like every four years is enough time between like appearances for you to like we're made like a whole event out of the z-list yes this is also the notes that um all stars needs to take totally high jumping yeah like those are all sports that i curling like i think soccer is there as the only a-lister to be like by the way is tennis in the olympics yeah i think it is it is that's so weird is it i feel like it's kind of, it's kind of like, speaking of drag race.

It is very drag race. It's like, it's a bit unfair if like Alyssa is there, you know? But it isn't because. Just like it's unfair if like Sokka is there. They're not as into, they're like, oh, well, we have you the rest of the time. When do we get. Ribbon twirling. Ribbon twirling and gymnastics and all of these things

that actually turn out to be the MVP of the Olympics. When it's like, oh, we now care about swimming. Do they have shooting this year? I fucking hate that. Why? Why? They're not shooting children, Zelda. They're shooting plates in the air.

Are they Parisian plates? Yeah, sure, why not? Do they have a story? Are they Perugian plates? Yeah, sure, why not? Do they have a story? Are they crafted by an artisan? Anyway, we just saw People were threatening to shoot The French are angry about the fact that Macron has paid for the rights to do the Olympics

Macron Which is, you know, notably a major financial macron now arch enemy financial distant burden on a country whenever they host the olympics because you have to spend a profound amount of money getting everything in line with the standards required to host the olympics macron and their intergalactic armies of forces of evil. So these countries will build new stadiums, purpose-built for curling or whatever the fuck, and then they'll just have no value later on.

And France is like, well, we have issues that could be solved with that profound amount of money that you're about to spend on this thing that has shown to also not bring that revenue back in. And all you want is this big, like, nationalistic event that kind of spotlights your country and makes you look good, but isn't actually good for the people who live there. Who are also going to, like, students have been forced out of their accommodation near the universities to, like, make space for the security personnel that need to come in because of the Olympics. They pick up all the homeless people off the street and shove them out into the countryside. All these weird things happen during the Olympics. But the French are angry.

And because Macron was like, I'm going to swim in the Seine to prove that it's swimmable. They're like, on this day when he said that he's going to swim in the Seine to prove that it's swimmable. They're like, on this day when he said that he's going to swim in the Seine. Wait, Macron? Who's that? The Prime Minister. The Prime Minister.

Hi, this is Future Lazy. He's the president. He's not the Prime Minister. That's all. Also, there's going to be a few of these interruptions during this episode. Because a lot happened this week while we were recording. So this is the first interruption. But this is like the interruption light. Now go back to the episode.

There's a bad guy with a name like that. I wouldn't trust him. How did he get voted in? It's French. Everyone's evil sounding. They all got those twirly mustaches. Wait, is that his first name? Honey, I am trying to tell a story.

Okay, sorry. And they're a shit. Everyone's like, let's shit in the river. Not because they're actually going to do it, but because they're like, it's funny if we have a nationally shitting day. Shitting in the river. Well, I don't think that's funny. Poor Macron.

And that's the story. Anyway, then the opening ceremony happened last night, yesterday. And it was great. And people were mad because it was really gay. I did see some of this today, actually. Some discourse about the apostle table of drag queens. And I saw Nicky Doll trying to walk in a line. The way, if you watch this

celda because i was at an event we were watching the opening ceremony because i think everyone was a bit bored of winter and we're like let's well i was too busy experiencing crumbling crackers yeah your event sounds fraught socializing sounds hard when you describe it go on anyway so then it went for 10 000 years which is par for the course i think everyone just likes suffering yeah and you've spent this much money you may as well but if you ever watch this footage there is parts of it you will really understand and relate to as a drag queen because it's raining they clearly hadn't thought about the fact that there's weather yeah and it's wet so a lot of the events and things that they had set up were now completely wet and some of them were deemed completely unsafe so you couldn't have they had these floating barges with half pikes for bmx and skateboarders which are also part of

the olympics want and they the men on their like bmx bikes were out on these barges in the middle of the sand which is where they were holding the opening ceremony instead of in a giant stadium that they said we're not going to build well it's also where they hold a lot of feces stadium that they said we're not going to build well it's also where they hold a lot of feces and they refuse they couldn't do any tricks so the camera would keep sliding past these barges with all these bmx bandits on it and none of them could do anything so they were just kind of like doing like their little tricks like yeah going up on one wheel or like a little piggy yeah like jump like a little bit yeah and then those people jumping rope on one of the barges, which I don't think is an Olympic sport.

But it is a good pastime. And then at one of the bridges, to celebrate France's history of fashion, they had a catwalk set up that was made to look like the Last Supper. And conservatives are like How dare you And I'm like okay This is weird You guys are like

I mean I know that they were But you can't be this mad every time this happens Ariana did God is a woman And did this at the VMA At some point we just gotta Things aren't sacred anymore Also I do think like the last summer Like that painting,

that specific evocation of that famous painting isn't from the fucking Bible. No, it's not a picture book. No. So it's like, I don't think that's sacred. I think it's just like a famous depiction of Jesus, but it's not. Yeah. Yeah. Pull out and unfold page nine to see The Last Supper.

Yeah. Yeah. Pull out and unfold page nine to see The Last Supper. Anyway, Nicky Doll from eighth place on Drag Race Regular. Yeah. And host of Drag Race France. Yes. Is sat there.

And that's during a portion over the five hours, 10,000 hours of the show where it felt like they kind of ran out of events and things happening because the main meat is each country arriving and walking through the stadium except instead of that they had them on boats going down the seine and they would like all be on top of the boat waving in the rain in little like waterproof ponchos holding their flag doing their thing and like each country wait all of them have a fag flag oh oh they do have lots of fags except for the countries where you can have fags but some of the countries shared boats some of the countries were like one country in a little speedboat America had a giant barge that was filled with people But then like some countries had like three people Cute

And always like one badass Did anyone have a paddle boat? No, that was not Did anyone have those like things from like the Swampland Where you're like sitting on a big fan? No, a hover boat That would have been great What about one of those like wheelie swan things?

I think Australia had that Amazing Wait, actually? No Anyway So that's all happening But it keeps cutting back to this runway on the bridge Where they have the like gays doing their catwalk

To celebrate France's history of fashion and they kind of at a certain point run out of things to do but the camera just keeps cutting back to them so they just like back to nikki doll walking in her drenched cape on this carpeted runway that's what i saw yes yes and then it was like wait it's been 20 minutes well guess who's here nicky doll splashing down that carpeted runway on this bridge in the rain freezing cold and you could see that everyone was wet it was a nightmare oh my god it reminded me when we did that white knight experience yes like drag queens singing on the rooftops and outside of balconies of famous australia melbourne landmarks for 12 hours and like the first six

hours it was like yeah slay and then the last six hours it was nikki doll's drenched little silver lined cape or when we did that was it midsummer and there was like the thunderstorm we had to keep being like sorry guys as in all a hundred thousand of you or whatever the fuck we might have to stop the party early so crazy but it was fine oh all of us say which olympic mascot gets into the bunker Yes So for those uninitiated Because that's us as well We're not I don't care about sports Really

I just You know the thought of Wasting my weekends away Getting up Doing things Putting on scarves Going to a giant high risk environment Surrounded by people where pies cost $10 doesn't sound good to me.

But this I can get into. Yeah, a little plushy. So, yeah, every year the Olympics has to, I mean, every time the Olympics happen, it's become tradition to make a mascot that is like a little figurine that goes along with it. And I like that. To entice the children that's right okay so on the official olympics.com you too listener can observe all mascots we're of course

just going to hone in on the olympic games only no winter games no youth olympics whatever the fuck that is so and we're going to try our best to explain what we're seeing to you so that you can just sit and be bathed in these incredible descriptions of what we're seeing yeah so let's start at the beginning okay 1972 munich the character's name is waldi and it's a small dachshund and you know what whatever it Whatever. It looks like a fabulous lady, you know, in an old cartoon would be walking this dog. Yes. And it has a very snouty nose and it's always looking down its nose at you. Yeah.

Yeah. So he's not. The color scheme's fucked. Yeah. It's awful. Oh, it looks like a beach house throw rug and I'm not into it. Then we head to 1979, 1976. It's awful. Oh, it looks like a beach house through a rug and I'm not into it. Then we head to 1979, 1976, Montreal.

Montreal has a Mick the beaver. We were in the clutches of minimalism in 1976. And yeah, the image is essentially a shape more than it is an animal did you click in yes i did i love when you click in because you can see this gigantic um shape of the impression of a beaver and it's so barely a beaver that's what i appreciate about so they've made a three-dimensional version of what looks like a lithograph of just the very vaguest shape outline of a beaver with a stripe down its middle but then when it's brought into a third dimension it looks like um like a kind of animal dropping no i think i think we're deprived of the beaver tail in that shot.

Because when you look at the actual logo version, it's quite incredible to be a mammal so recognizable by your silhouette. I think. Like, you couldn't do that with a nutria, you know? Maybe you could. Moscow. Now we're moving into something I care more about. This evil looking animal, Misha.

A bear who's a Russian bear and is apparently like famous pre. So it wasn't a creation for the Olympics. I think, no, I think just like the reputation, the bear was already like an icon of russia russia they didn't like have to but to me that's because like i have an image in my head of like l moving zoos like circus freaks where they have like a chained bear in russia well it really doesn't help that misha is on her hind legs staring into the camera with a look of sadness and desperation that says, help me. It's 1980.

Misha, you know what? The illustration is great. I love it. It's like watercolor. It's definitely not something, do you know, in like logo design,

they would never sit recommend Misha. No, because it's like an, an honest to God illustration. It's not something you could like downsize really well as an icon for a website. Yeah. Which I appreciate. Absolutely.

I'm not going to print Misha on the top left hand letter form of my email to the Olympics, you know? Yeah. Okay. Well, it's done by a children's book illustrator, it says here. Oh. Yeah. A group of artists then produced 60 graphic versions of the mascot. It was finally the version by Victor Shuzhkov,

a well-known children's book illustrator that was chosen. So it's got like a real good arty kind of vibe. Victor. Which is a lot of love. Misha is definitely up there. Yeah. Now we get to Sam, the bald eagle. The eagle's name is Sam?

Yeah, like Uncle Sam. I hate this. I hate it. It's like an eagle wearing an Uncle Sam hat. Ew. I love when, because there's a certain point in American culture, my homeland homeland where the rampant patriotism like tips over and it becomes just the most profoundly goofy thing you've ever seen and in this case it's an eagle wearing a giant uncle sam top hat with the olympic on top. And it looks so scary.

I don't like it. Sam looks friendly and cheerful in order not to frighten children. That's what the description says. I'll have to just try that one again. The duck kind of head does look like Count Duckula. It was of the time. So I like that. It was created by someone from Walt Disney.

Oh, well that. Okay. Then we move to 1988. Great. Yeah. Seoul. Hadori. Korean word for tiger.

While Dori is a common masculine diminutive. Okay. Well, this one is not getting a mention for me it's fine it's not even fine i hate it it does seem to be um a bit biased this mascot to indeed ribbon twirling because her hat is ribbon twirling i thought that was the classic um like korean oh those Like Korean Oh those Traditional Korean hat Yeah That you have the dance with Yeah okay

Oh well Shows what I know I guess And then we have Barcelona Barcelona 1992 Kobe Have you noticed

Kobe Did you notice That boys Sometimes Will like Try and make Like throw a piece of trash into the bin. And as they're doing it, they'll say, Kobe.

No, I didn't know that. Matt, have you known about that? No. Okay. Kobe. Who's that? Kobe. Kobe Bryant.

Basketball. Oh, right. What? And they'll go, Kobe. And try and throw it into the bin. Watch. It'll happen around you and you'll notice. I don't spend a lot of time around straight people

well when you see them they'll do it and you'll be like oh the legends are true okay yeah well this kobe i mean look at that i fucking love this boy so it looks like almost like a lunic cartoon. He kind of looks like proto-bluey. He's got thick pen strokes. I don't know what animal that is. And he's extremely two-dimensional, because you can see they've puffed him up to a three-dimensional, but he's still, like, flat. I like that.

He's a mountain dog. You know what you're good at, and you stick with it. Two dimensions. Then... In a cubist style sorry okay well now we're in the thick of it because i think this next one is my favorite oh my god it's messed so atlanta 1996 the mascot is izzy Izzy. Originally called What's It, Izzy was chosen by 32 American children, notoriously stupid, aged 7 to 12, among the following names, Kirby, Stars, Zach, Gleamer, and Izzy. The shortlist was produced by more than 3,300 suggestions from children in 16 different

countries. 300 suggestions from children in 16 different countries so izzy or what's it is just a like a bizarre shape with eyes and big old sneakers and i love it's got like a little tail with the olympic rings around it he's got lightning eyebrows and olympic rings as well mickey mouse white gloves. It's incredible. It's like a blue blob. It's giving like the meth was good back then. To me, it says like friends with Harold the giraffe or whatever. Like it would be on like a dental hygiene poster.

Oh, yeah. It's definitely of the time. And maybe that's why I have such a warmth towards it. Because this has the bombast that only 1996 had, which is also when the first Spice Girls album came out. But he's electric blue. There's just no decisions being made about a palette, because they said, why not everything?

Why not all colors? Okay, then we head to Sydney, 2000. This is the MVPs, the icons, the old the old stalwarts i mean looking at this list these are the only ones that actually look like fucking little characters but this is like the 2000s illustration style we're heading more into a realism space they've got some 3d cell shading going on i think it's funny that Sydney managed to get the Olympics and every Australian that was around during that time remembers it. Because the millennia.

Yeah. That is like the big boy. I love that they're not wearing clothes because animals don't wear clothes. So they're just, you know. They also don't walk on their hind legs. Yeah, but you know, they're just you know they also don't walk on their high legs yeah but you know their mascots aren't um but there's an element there of you know staying true to what animals are and i like that apparently they symbolize water air and earth and it is the first time that we've had multiple all the previous ones have been flying Yeah, this is a collab. Yeah, this is all three. Can't decide.

Do you think there could be like an extended universe film starring all of these? Yes. And do you think people would be- There were cartoons back in the day. Yeah, it was like such a thing. It was like, you know, all the cereal packets was like, there were little like comic books and there was like, I think there was animations of it as well. And it's so bold perhaps

no emu no kangaroo yeah very good i like that they said they've had their time yeah give the rest to go yeah yeah give echidna okay i mean it's what a deep bench australia has for wildlife you don't need mountain Dog as our star. Like, to have, like, your second tier calls be Echidna, Platypus, and Kookaburra is so good. We haven't even touched on Magpie yet. Yeah. We got a lot to go. There's a lot.

There's a lot. We haven't even talked about the Blue Ring Doctopus. Right. Come on, girl. Settle. Sea Dragon? Crocodile? Crocodile has never made an appearance.

That could be the coin That's every other country's A-list Yeah But that's how like You can see they really slipped in the next year Like the next So then we go to 2004 Athens And it's more the idea of a mascot

It's more like the first sketch of something That someone might want to look at a second time It's like They invented the sport. They're true with their eyes closed. They symbolize the pleasure of playing and the value of a Lilliputian song. Oh, you didn't read the first name. Why didn't you do that?

What? Pavos and Athena. Yeah, good. There we go. I mean, Phevos? Phevos? Phevos? Listen, you're not going to...

You don't care. you're listening to this you don't care about it being right the god of light and music yeah they're meant to be based on like those dolls apparently yeah which like that's nice but they are not getting into the bunker no they're not in there they're hideous beijing 2008 that's the the multi-element pandas. Yeah. Are they meant to be pandas? One of them is. But they all kind of represent a different element. I'm not really into it, I've got to say.

Which is weird because they're the most superhero coded of any of them. Yes, but I don't like it. I don't like it. And then we get to the bizarre world of Wenlock, which is for the London Games. London 2012. Yes. This is fucking hideous.

Yeah. This is awful. They're meant to be the last drops of steel used to build the Olympic Stadium in London. Ew! Wenlock with his one eye. Yuck! There's something about Wenlock that I do like. I know.

He looks like a little silver one-eyed alien. Yes. A blob. A silver blob with a big round one eye. But they haven't committed to simplicity because he's also got like the Olympic rings as bangles. No. He's got these red stripes all over him. Hideous. Okay. He's got a camera on his head asles. No. These red stripes all over him. That's hideous.

Okay. He's got a camera on his head as well. Yeah. It's actually based off the black cabs, the London black cabs. Oh, no. Oh, it's like little lights. It's like, you know, the lights on the top of the cabs that say. Occupado.

Yeah, occupied or not,, 2016 we head to Rio For Vinicius What a name He's a mix of animals Although all I'm seeing is cat And Listen This guy is fun and fruity

But he doesn't seem to be holding together The kind of seriousness I need. I quite like this, I must say. I love his little nubby toes. I love that he's sitting near some peas. That's quite good. I don't mind it. I like his curious face.

He's like a monkey. He's like a little monkey. He's got a curly tail. I don't like that he's cursed by having their hideous rio 2016 logo on his tummy i think that they i don't want to scratch a logo often they they put the logo on them and that's why sid millie and oh my god why do i keep forgetting him ozzy ollie ollie sorry ollie i don't mean to be like yeah they're like're like not branded In that way Yeah, that's good They're just like We are our own people Yeah, it's like

You know who we are And what we represent And then Tokyo 2020 Hmm This is just This is not it Mirai Tawa Mirai Tawa

For a country that is famous For its distinct character and art design style. Mama. This feels like some kid's Tumblr page. It's fucked. Like this could be in the margins of some like kid that loves anime at your school. Yeah. And he's never going to make it.

No. Like it's awful. It's awful. So can you explain it's awful. It's awful. So, can you explain it? It's got big ears. Yeah, it's kind of like a cat-ish creature. It's not that cute. It's too humanoid.

And then it's covered in kind of like navy checks, which I'm guessing is giving us like a cyber feeling. But, ew. Ew. Okay. Zelda. And then this year's one. Which are the tuberes.

They're kind of fun. Yeah, no, they're hideous. So. Okay, Zelda, I have one question before we answer the question of which one is getting in the bunker. Yeah. And this is going to sound immature. Oh. It's going to sound stupid.

Hmm. If you had to fuck one of these, which are you fucking? Come on. Quick six. Make your call. Which one am I fucking? Which one of these are you fucking? Is it what's it?

Izzy? No. You freak. No, it's not that one with the electric bolt eyebrows. What? You think you're better than him? No, I think I would. You think you're better than What's It?

I think I would fuck the one from Barcelona and I would get fucked by from the bear from Moscow. That bear is a child. He's innocent. Wait, you're going to fuck that two-dimensional... Kobe? Yeah. Kobe.

Kobe? I like that face. I can handle that face looking back at me going... It's got a long tail. That face looking back... Did you say long tail? Yeah, wait, which one? Rio?

No, Barcelona. I'm surprised you're not fucking Rio, to be honest. No. Rio looks like he could do things. Like your kind of guy. No, Rio. I'm surprised you're not fucking Rio, to be honest. Yeah, Rio looks like he could do things. Like your kind of guy. No, Rio's too kind. Well, you think Kobe's gotten nasty. I don't think Kobe's got a lot going on.

He looks too... I kind of like that. He's just a dumb guy. Yeah, who do you want to fuck? I mean, I think it's got to be, I mean, I love Izzy, but to me, Wenlock is such a hottie. Wait, Wenlock the iron thing? He is made from the last drops of steel.

His eye is a camera as well. He's got toxic masculinity vibes. That's fucked. Matt, if you're having a three-way with the things from Athens, I think we need a new space car driver. I hate those ones. Good. Just check it.

They're my least favorite out of all of them, I think. Oh, do you know what, Matt? I think your type would be probably like Millie. Wait, which one is Millie? The Echidna. The Echidna. With her soft, sensual eyes. She's very soft.

She's a bit of a cutie. Yeah. She's got like a- But she's got that prickly side you know She has full out lashes Yeah She's quite the diva Yeah

She's got a long snout Okay But I What about Sam the bald eagle No No Yuck Come on

No I Ow Anyway we're not talking about who are we fucking. We're talking about who we're putting in the bunker. Okay, you're right. And I think it should be Amik, the beaver, from Montreal, 1976. I love that suggestion of a beaver shape.

I think that's so cool. She's pretty cool. Amik. I like it i think amik would go into the bunker if it weren't for izzy izzy izzy that little meth ew it's awful izzy does that one thing i like about izzy yes but then it makes me mad because it's not it is that it gives me um DNA creature from Jurassic Park. That is, that's who Izzy is inspired by.

I hope you realise. Izzy. Because that came out in 93 and this came out in 96. And let me tell you. All cartoons looked like this back then. No. This was like, no. Everything had sneakers and gloves.

But what about the bear, Mishka? I mean Mishka is great It's so Also Mishka looks like that And then will literally sever your head from your body I think that's the fucked up thing Is like knowing what was happening in Russia in the 1980s And then looking at this

Smiling bear And being like oh oh like because like the thing about the american one being in 1984 and knowing like kind of the kind of things that america was doing in the extended geopolitical landscape he looks evil that that giant sam bald eagle looks evil and crazy mishka looks so too normal and it's in the like picture if you go in we'll put this i'll screen cap it now we'll put it on the instagram yeah mishka's holding a bouquet of flowers yes and smiling like the sweetest little representation. You know what? When I think of Russia, this is the first thing I think of.

And their marketing did a good job. His arms are kind of like on his hips. Like his hands are on his hips, kind of like puffing out his chest a little bit. It's actually so cute. Oh, it's just... I love it. It's a bit much. And then it turns and Mishka severs. Oh, my God.

Wait. In an emotional moment, an enormous Mishka bade farewell to 100,000 spectators at the great arena at the end of the closing ceremony of the games before being lifted off by balloons and disappearing into the sky yes Mishka I love that

Mishka but can she also have the balloons yes disappearing into the sky goodbye Well, then it's her. Mishka. But can she also have the balloons? Yeah. Well, yes. Okay, good. Disappearing into the sky. Yeah. Goodbye.

The highest point in the bunker is that like room that's dropping that Emperor's New Groove thing. So she can kind of like float up there. Oh, no, that's. Yeah. No, it's the abyss room. Well, true. That is the highest ceiling, certainly.

And if she went down the abyss well i think that she flood back up yeah like the classic drag expo um balloon clearing fee if you get a balloon that goes up to the ceiling yes mishka mishka it's you congratulations what a journey we've taken is that our first russian in? Well, unless you count fake Avril Lavigne She's a Russian spy Yes, true Incredible Well, I'm sure we'll have a lot to discuss

Can you say Misha's first name? Full name? Oh, wait, is there a full name? Oh, of course Mikhail Potapich Toptijin It's short for Misha for sure Mikhail Of course, Mikael Potapic Toptijin. It's short for sure. Mikael Potapic Toptijin.

Yeah, that was sensitive culturally. Okay, we're going to have a break and then we'll be right back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hello, listener. We've been waiting for you to come back from that break. Yeah, tick tock. How long do you think that it's a snack break? It's not a lunch break. It's a snack break. You get 15 minutes.

Yeah. And if you start abusing that, we're going to have to manage them a bit more tightly. And you know that we don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. I don't want to be an authoritarian here. I want people to feel comfortable. You want to have a sip of water. Yeah.

Maybe take a bathroom break and then come back to the pod. And what I would like to say is that if one day it goes to 20 minutes you know me that's not going to be a big issue but when it becomes the pattern yes that's when you're pushing the boundary and you think that i'm being hard on you but there's other managers that would just fire you yeah so think about that i'm just here to help but i hope you're feeling refreshed after the break and we're ready to just jump back into let's leave that behind that's yesterday i'm happy to leave that in yesterday and let's start today as if it fresh brand new yes okay good i hate i hate that sorry sorry it's one of the

worst parts of my job but it honestly makes us all better when we communicate yeah now is that what you're wearing oh okay so welcome back yeah okay so we're gonna do which thing or character i guess from deadpool and wolverine gets into the bunker so very first sponsorship Marvel paid us to talk about this yeah which is why they're gonna hate what I have to say next um so listener as previously discussed I did trivia on Wednesday and then we got in the space car and went to see Deadpool and Wolverine Yes And Well I came out of that movie

Pretty Fucking disappointed Lazy also came out of it disappointed But we knew that that would happen I'm trying to think of I've seen so many of these films now And I feel like it's my job To see these Marvel films

If only to be able to Fairly Even handedly Critique them Because inevitably see these Marvel films, if only to be able to fairly, even-handedly critique them. Because inevitably, you can't just see one and critique it, because then someone will be like, well, you haven't seen the extended multiverse. I feel even now, if you dare to not like this thing, people are like, well, you haven't read the comics for 25 years. I'm like well

that's not how movies work you need to be able to just say is it a good movie or a bad movie you can't be like you need to have done all this research to be able to enjoy this thing which unfortunately seems to be the case with dead bull and the brain i think you know what? I think that movie did an okay job of if you didn't know, if you hadn't been watching all the Fox X-Men movies, that you could still enjoy that movie. I think they kind of reintroduced the characters well enough that you could just be along for the ride. Or if you hadn't seen Loki and you didn't know about the TVA

and Alioth and all that stuff yeah like because it was like it's the seemingly final of the fox era and it only like skims the surface of it which was where my disappointment came from you wanted more deep cut yeah oh my god um that is not the issue with this film i mean there's so many issues with this film but yeah i think like you could enjoy the fun ride of just like seeing deadpool and wolverine like do their thing without all the marvel baggage so i think it like i don't think that there i think it was that every single person would be equally satisfied by this film because there was not an actual film here to be seen because it was like just baseline.

And this is the thing. I've heard TikTokers talk about it since because I've seen it. Oh, it was on TikTok. Yeah. They're talking about it on TikTok. Yeah. That must be so interesting. Go on.

Oh, yeah. No, it's in in the pub it's being discussed in the public square and there are people that are like listen i think like there are things that are good about it and i'm like what what and they're like it's so good to have you know hugh jackman is so good as wolverine and ryan reynolds is like really in the pocket for this character of Deadpool. I don't think that those, like Wolverine was not in this film. There was no character, like there was Hugh Jackman playing a character that people know from another film that they have attached an affection for to that character, but it's like he was in a Super Bowl ad.

Like there's no no they didn't develop him in this film they just used all the goodwill that people have towards 20 years of hugh jackman being an actor to then be like you remember this guy and you're like yeah oh my god he was so good in that other film and then like they don't build on that they don't have anything new to say about this character they just plonk him down this movie was so like the initial pitch in 2022 when like ryan and hugh released the video they were like we are not touching logan logan is an incredible film and we're not going to like desecrate that legacy yeah because they acknowledge that it is a good film and a comic book film that is successful and the reasons why presumably,

but then they go on to make a film that takes no notes from that film that they're saying is incredible. Yeah. Like, so all the things that made Logan incredible, like the fact that he fucking dies. Yeah. And there's a reason and it,

it matters. And the reason that they brought X 23 into this film as a concept is because she was affected by the death of Wolverine. He died to protect her. Yeah. But then you bring her in as an action figure. Yeah. It's like you don't even understand how to replicate what you are saying you know is amazing. Yes.

Like, it's just so bizarre. It is bizarre. It's like watching a Ryan Murphy show. It's like, you love Academy Award winner Kathy Bates. Yeah. Well, here she is making fart noises for five minutes. And you're like, why are you doing that to Kathy Bates? She's one of the best.

Yeah. And you love these characters and things because you've seen them be good and it's incredible when they're good. Yeah. Yeah. Like, and you love these characters and things because you've seen them be good and it's incredible when they're good. Yeah. And then just watching the kind of weird, yeah, puppetry of these things. Like, Cheaper by the Dozen, man, you need to stop making these movies. The film was directed by the man who made Cheaper by the Dozen.

And he also made four episodes of The Secret Life of alex mack which is a very good show so i mean like listen i had high expectations i don't know i don't know what's happening in the world like i don't understand yeah so i think we're in grants then yeah that nothing from this movie is going in the bunker well i, I didn't say that. What about the dog with its tongue sticking out? Oh, my God. No. Listener, there's a bit where there's a dog. I think I heard about this.

It's the ugliest dog in the world. They have this whole thing where they're like, you know when Carrie Fisher, before she died, ripped and ended up in the bunker, rip, rip. When she was on the publicity trail for Star Wars and she had adopted a dog that had, like you know when dogs that had strokes were like the biggest thing in entertainment?

We all know what you're talking about, yeah. You know, like there was like a dog that had like half of its tongue sticking out at all times and they were like always dogs that had had strokes or like a birth defect had half of its tongue sticking out at all times and they were always dogs that had had strokes or a birth defect with an extra long tongue. And everyone in the world was like, bring me a dog that had had a stroke. Well, Carrie Fisher was obsessed with that

and thought it was so funny that she found one of these dogs and then adopted it and carried it around with her everywhere and forced them. It would be like, good morning, America. And there she was with her stroke dog sitting. And oh, how the world guffawed at these unintentionally hilarious mascots of joyous millennial fun. And then time went by and those dogs disappeared back into their lives, quiet lives that they could come from.

Nothing against dogs that have had strokes. Yeah. But then this film comes out, Deadpool and Wolverine. And it's like, you know what would be fucking hilarious? And you know it's fucking Ryan Reynolds, who's one of the writers on this film now. Because he has that signature Ryan Reynolds, who's one of the writers on this film now, because he has that signature Ryan Reynolds wit, somehow we let this man become an A-list celebrity. He's just always been fine.

That's completely okay. Yeah. But goddamn, he is now the kingdom of his own little nation state of Ryan Reynolds fans. It's very terrifying. But he would have been like, Very terrifying. But he would have been like,

you know what Deadpool would love? A fucking dog that's had a stroke. Bring me that dog and put it on the screen. And when it came up on the screen, I was like, certainly this is kind of like a meta commentary about this weird time where everyone became obsessed with stroke dogs. No. And instead, no, it was just the face value like, a commentary about this weird time where everyone became obsessed with stroke dogs no and instead no it was just the face value like it's got a tongue sticking out where it shouldn't be and i was like are you fucking kidding me like how are Gen Z looking at this and not, like, being like, this is mustaches on fucking sticks, millennial core crin.

Yeah. Like, what is happening? Yeah. You know that dog was on the press tour, like, all around, like, Europe. Carrie would have loved that. Yeah, no fucking way. Absolutely not. It's just, I just, it made me want to jump out of a fucking plane.

Yeah. And the fact, this is, I mean, like, it's all family guy's fault. Like, things like Deadpool were like, like, this kind of humor that's, like, self-indulgent and self-aware in this way that's like, I don't even care. I'll say it. And it's like, well, yeah, but at a certain point you've got to care about something, right?

Things have to have, you've got to like something. No, I fucking hate everything and I'm above everything. Also, Ryan Reynolds, weird, like, you know, obviously Deadpool is famously a bisexual. What is this version of like frat guy, like homosexuality? Like, you know, obviously Deadpool is famously a bisexual. What is this version of like frat guy, like homosexuality where they'll say something gay, full throat, like I would suck that guy's dick. Yeah. And somehow they make it so straight.

Yeah. Like I watched that whole film and I'm like, I think Ryan Reynolds character could literally make out with a guy and it would not make me think that, like, no one has ever been straighter than Ryan Reynolds. Absolutely. Or Deadpool. Yeah. It is so disingenuous. I fucking hate it. And it's a joke. Yeah.

It's not fucking progress. No. It's a joke about, isn't it funny that this guy, he doesn't even give a shit. He didn't even kiss a guy. Yeah. What? Yeah. Ew.

Ew. It's just, tonally, it's fucking not it. Speaking of swear words, I hated that every second word in this movie was a swear word. I did see you, you know, go. It was just so unnecessary. I'm like, I'm not impressed. I'm not impressed by your swearing. It's so like, oh wow.

Yeah, R rated. Did you see today that they're like, it's the highest grossing R rated film of all time. I'm like, I don't care what the movie is rated that is not part of marketing what it is for the core demo of 13 year old boys i anyway anyway i'm just glad that we live in a world where that film's come out now and so it can never come out again, you know, until the re-release. Oh, my God. I would say that the bit of Deadpool I would like in the bunker is the very end where it was over. No.

I want the last three seconds of the final credits where it did the final logo. Chris Evans swearing? No, after that, where the screen went blank. Like, you just saw the very tail end of the Marvel logo. And then everyone filed quietly out of the cinema. Can we condense that and put that into the... Do you know what?

I would almost like it in the library. In the library, we have a DVD. Another DVD, if you will. You take it off the shelf. Just a bird copy. Yep. And then you put it in the DVD player, if you can find one. And you put it in and shelf just a bird copy yep and then you put in the dvd player if you can find one and you put it in and it just plays and then goes to black final three seconds of dead

dead cool and Wolverine well I vote nothing goes in Matt you decide I haven't seen it so I'm happy with the ending that's fine thank you great thanks for your support we'll be right back thank you Matt for your. We'll be right back. Thank you, Matt, for your support. We'll be right back. Hello, listener. It's me again. I told you I'd be back. This is the end of the Deadpool and Wolverine section.

However, this was a much, much, much longer conversation where we got into the deep philosophy of what Deadpool and Wolverine meant for the world at large what it meant for the Marvel Cinematic Universe uh some of the more intricate plot details of the film and then we got to the end and realized that we'd been recording for two and a half hours and so we said we're going to cut some of this out and we're going to just put it up on the Patreon with some other bits we've cut out of this week's episode. So if you want to hear a longer discussion about Deadpool that is, I would say, interesting. We were both very interested in Deadpool and Wolverine. But maybe not the funniest.

Maybe go and have a listen to it. Anyway, on with the show. Hello. Hello, listener. Now, listen, if you're at this point and the episode is one and a half hours long, it means I've done a really good job of editing the last two segments. If you're listening and this is two hours long i'm so sorry it means that i was too busy to edit anything out yeah um oh i don't you know when you're talking you can't tell if you're being boring or not you must experience this i i find it interesting i find that whole conversation very

interesting about deadpool about deadpool and marvel and the kind of world of that oh you mean the mascots and why i don't know i don't know but i can't tell whether it's going to be interesting to a single other person you know what i think at this point people just love us in their ears they're like those girls are so funny they could just talk about anything i'll listen i truly if someone said that like they're like Those girls are so funny They could just talk about anything I'll listen I truly If someone said that Like they're like And like listen

Great Whatever floats your stupid little boat Down the sand And down this river of shit Yeah But I just am like Maybe this is the straw That breaks the camel's back

If it is the straw That breaks the camel's back You know what We'll be back to regular Pro-mag We're coming next week So wait You're having a crisis about it being boring because we've been talking about Marvel?

No, not Marvel. I know that some people do have issue with Marvel content on this show. Yeah. But also that we opened on describing imagery for 30 minutes. That is your favourite kind of topic to bring up. I'm not saying it's not my fault. I think it's interesting. I think you don't need to worry.

Everyone's listening. Everyone's loving this. Everyone's loving it. And they're going to love our final topic for the day. Which is? Which family member? Specifically from our own families. Oh, what? Yeah, I thought from our own families. Oh, what?

Yeah, I thought that would be funny. Oh, well, you're throwing it in. I'll take it. Okay. Oh, volley. He's getting into the bunker. Oh, what? Oh, I thought we were doing like concept, like uncle.

Oh, maybe concept. But I just thought it'd be funny to like. Yeah, which of our family members? I got a message from your dad last night. Go on. Well, I had posted a picture of myself in drag, but with my wig off. And then he sent me a picture of a mannequin that's been tied up in his shed with a wig on.

His pink cave. You know it's called the pink cave. And then a picture of him in a beanie looking into camera yeah and i thought wow what did i do to get so lucky yeah and then you sent them to me yeah and what did you say i said you said no you said from your father yeah yeah and what did my dad and i said well it's saturday night that checks out um because he's like having a doobie in the back shed and sending messages yeah problems problems yeah um your dad normally sends me links to his podcast that's what that thread looks like To which To which I say

You know what Maybe if I did that to some of my friends I'd have more listeners Oh my god Yeah Oh my god So there's that My dad is a curious character

Yeah I wonder if we should have him on one day I wonder how he would go So there's that My dad is a curious character Yeah I wonder if we should have him on one day I wonder how he would go I think he'd probably get antsy around the hour mark Yeah, he gets like My dad gets into kind of like a Like teenage boyish surly mood sometimes When like forced to do things

And I think that's the kind of energy he would bring That seems to run in your family You know? i see you see it in my brother sometimes i definitely do anyway and then my brother um he's very busy he's got four children and a whole career so it'd be kind of hard for him in the bunker Yeah He's not great with downtime, my brother No, well he's a surgeon

Yes But then like a few years ago he studied law And then a few years before that he did like the whatever it's called He studied law? Yeah Your brother is incredible Because he was just like, what am I doing after work, you know? What the fuck?

Yeah So he How could someone so smart say so many dumb things? He was just like, what am I doing after work? What the fuck? Yeah. How could someone so smart say so many dumb things? This is a good question. No, I like your brother. Yeah, he is a good egg. He didn't send me any photos last night, though. No. Too busy.

Yeah. So this is him. But yeah, he doesn't do great with free time. Like, at all. I mean, he could go and doesn't do great with free time. Like at all. I mean, he could go and work in the sick bay. He's a bone surgeon. True, but he doesn't. Yeah.

Oh, true. Carrie. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so there's that. Then there's my mother. She could make some quilts for the Murphy beds. Yeah.

Yeah. Might take her some time. Make some putty. She could make pudding. She would love to make a pudding. And I think she would get along quite well with Nikki Vale. And do you know what else I love that your mother would bring to the bunker? Gossipiness.

Yes. Because she would have a lot to say about that. You know, Carrie Bradshaw wandering around all high on herself. Yes. Mum would not be into Carrie. No around all high on herself. Yes. Mom would not be into Carrie. No. Or Gwyneth. No. Or the bones.

Who's taking care of the bones? Yeah. But she would love to put those bones in like a nice like wall cabinet and just have them for best. Yeah. But she wouldn't be allowed a dog. Millie. Millie. No, because that dog's annoying

Not because there's a rule against dogs If Millie had a stroke, then maybe she would be dead Oh, Millie, yeah Okay, and what about yours? So there's my dad, famously He will be on this pod one day Yes When I can finally schedule him

He would be good in the bunga he will be on this pod one day yes when i can finally schedule him um he would be good in the bunga do you know it's funny because i'm really i'm like definitely like playing chicken at the moment with my dad clearly not knowing my boyfriend's name yes and he's like how is that fella and it's so haunting because that's exactly what i'm like with people being like hello darling how are you how are you i will never remember your name and like my dad does it and i'm like he is going to like we're going to run into this wall where me and kergen have been together for almost two years at a certain point. Oh, my God. And he will not know his name.

Yeah. And it will be incredible. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. He only remembers like two or three friends' names. Yeah. Yeah.

Of my friends that I've had for many years, he would not be able to tell me your name. Yeah, I don't think. No. He will send you a link to his podcast. Yes. He might, like, but I think he might get Zelda. Maybe.

Maybe. He doesn't know. No. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't. That's fine. I listen.

He's, you know. Yeah. It's not an insult. It's just a fact of the matter. Yes. You know. Yes. You know. Yes.

And then I guess like grandparents are good. I mean, they're all dead. And then same with my mother. And then, yeah. And then my auntie, as discussed last week, who lives in America with Uncle Mike. And my cousins, who also live in America. God bless them. What about Jennifer? And then my sister, Jennifer Garner, who was just in America. God bless them. What about Jennifer?

And then my sister, Jennifer Garner, who was just in Deadpool and Wolverine. Maybe that's who we should get into the bunker. Jennifer Garner. Jennifer Garner. I did have a laugh in the Wolverine and Deadpool movie where they turned to Jennifer Garner and they're like, Deadpool. I mean, oh my God, what's his name? You know, Blindy. Blindy? Yeah. and they're like Deadpool I mean uh oh my god what's his name you know blindy blindy yeah daredevil is dead oh yeah and then Jennifer Garner's like oh yeah it's okay yeah

whatever I don't mind I like that that was funny and I laughed and no one laughed and the things that were getting laughs in this theater ladies ladies and gentlemen, and those in between, was ridiculous. Yeah, they fucking lost their minds when Chris Evans landed on that fence. When Chris Evans hit his nads, as they would say, they were shrieking in the aisles. Makes me sick. My Nona is a great choice as well, actually. She's quite good. She's like nearly 90 and she is like living by herself.

Self-sufficient. You've definitely said this before on the pod. The highest compliment I can pay someone is, I've noticed that you live by yourself. I wish I could say the same. I'm noticed that you live by yourself. I wish I could say the same. I'm nearly 90 and living by myself. I love it. I don't think I could live by myself.

It's too scary. It's a bit spooky. I've had someone staying with me for the last few weeks and he moved out yesterday. And last night was my first proper night back at that haunted house by myself. And I thought, oh, oh yes i just like the company no i don't i hate that i like coming home and be able to have a chit chat with someone that's my absolute nightmare and being like hey tell me about your life what's happening with you and when they have random friends over and you're like ah and a nice little other social input

that's fab. No. You know? I've like adored everyone that I've lived with, but I'm at a point in my life where I talk too much and I need to not talk anymore. Both in and out of the house, really. Well, you, I guess all through childhood, you lived with other people. Yeah.

Your family. Yes. I guess all through childhood would have lived with other people. Yeah. Your family. Yes. And then you, yeah, then you had housemates up until your 30s. Yeah.

And you're saying like the 30s until, I guess if you have the same DNA as your nuna, until you're 90, you're going to spend 30 years living with people and 60 years living alone. Oh, that sounds so good. That like lifts anxiety from my chest to hear that sentence um yeah i'll live with a partner if i ever get one again um yeah but that would be it i think so what is it about a partner that isn't annoying well because a partner is like there is more uh like deeper understanding and like there's less social expectations in play of like it's rude to come home and not ask how was your day but to a partner you can be like you know that i need to get home and not look at you for four hours or whatever. Matt, is that what it's like?

With my wife? Yeah. My wife. My wife. Yeah. No. Do you guys come home and then just like not talk for three hours? No.

Until you're ready to engage? Yeah. Which one is it, Matt? Tell your story. I think we are. We're pretty good. I mean, we've been together for 10 years now, so there's not always much to talk about, but we find something. But I just mean that that like discussion of how much are we having discussions is easier

with someone that loves you and that you love because it's all coming from a place of love. You want the best thing for each other in that living environment. If you're the housemate, you don't want that. Well, if the housemate, you're like, I only live with you because you're making it, my existence more affordable. You didn't live with strangers. You live with a dear friend. I did.

I live with like one, like speaking of family, like the closest to like a brother, other than my other brother. Yeah. Like I like fucking adore that human, but you but you know i just it was what changed for me was when i became a manager at work yeah when i hit that point i just was dealing with um you know and like i love my job it's not that but it's like talking with people and dealing with different emotions and everyone's lives so much like all day every day and you're an introvert

yes i'm like i need to come home and just like be and not feel seen or perceived yes in any way yeah like yeah yeah anyway what what i think jennifer garner should go in I mean maybe that's the answer for both Yeah I think she looked So good I was like I want more of her She was also like one of the only Like there were very few women in that movie And very few interesting women

In that movie The film did not pass the Bechdel test No No I don't think any women Well, the film did not pass the Bechdel test. No. No. But yeah. I don't think any women had, because Cassandra didn't talk to any women. No. And Elektra and X-23, I don't think directly spoke to each other.

Okay. We can't talk about Deadpool again. Okay. Sorry, I'm there. Anyway. Yeah. My dad, i don't think could do it he would go fucking crazy would not like it but we're talking about your sister wink jennifer garner wink are we talking about jennifer garner what do you want my sister jennifer garner oh i see um but my sister jenniferarner, couldn't do it because I don't think she would like this. She's like you.

I don't think she would ever like to live with people like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that day two of falling down the Murphy bed to go to sleep next to Michael B. Jordan, she'd be like, could you just fuck off? I just need a bit of space. She'd put curtains up around it murphy bit yeah like i think that she might like fling herself into the abyss let's just get some peace and quiet yeah um so i just i think even though she would be like be spared from the apocalypse i think she'd probably be like listen day-to-day life on a fully functioning

earth was pretty much at my limit and i don't think i'm going to be doing more of this yeah i don't think i'm the will to survive is that strong in this specific case i think i want to just go and you know goodbye yeah you know and then fly off like the bear at the russian olympic games maybe she steals misha's balloons go down the abyss and then fly off like the bear at the Russian Olympic Games. Maybe she steals Misha's balloons, go down the abyss, and then floats away into space. Oh, you think there's a pipe out of the abyss? Well, the abyss goes down. Is it at the base of the abyss?

I know we've talked about this before, but, you know, it blurs. It doesn't matter. No one knows what's down there. It doesn't matter. But my dad, it would be kind of torturous because my dad is a surfer. Like he surfs every day. He could go into the oceanarium. Yeah.

As soon as it has wave functions. One of those like wave pool things. It could be like a wave pool. He did go to that one near the airport last time he went to Bali. Yeah. Anyway, he didn't like it. Too artificial. Well, you know, he's very connected to the earth. Yeah. Anyway, he didn't like it. Too artificial. Well, you know, he's very connected to the earth.

Yeah. But yeah, it seems unkind to put a wave pool machine in the oceanarium to encourage people to surf like my father above the Meg. And the stingray that killed Steve. Yeah. Dangerous. I don't think the stingray is out for blood, as discussed before. It's just went agitated.

She's just living her life. And you know what? If you get too close. Her and Charlotte, the other stingray. Who's alive in our world. Yes, unlike the real world. In the multiverse. Yeah.

Charlotte lives. Charlotte's coming back for a new one. Oh my God. Yeah, but I also think your dad would like free Willy, like bond with Meg. The Meg, yeah. And be like singing Meg's song with a harmonica by the water. Be like, hey Meg.

It might be the only creature in the bunker that understands him. That's the vibe for sure. But I do, I can't quite pass up the temptation of your mother. Yes. I just think. You know what? She, oh my, would thrive in the bunker. I just think so.

Would never have to leave the house. And just like get to her taste of other people's business. Yeah. Have a goss. Oh my God. It's actually perfect for her. Three putty for everyone. And she would go down to like the reject shop.

Yeah. Get her bits. Yes. Only three stops in the day. Yeah. Have I told you this story? Is that the rule? Oh my God.

Listener, really quick. I know it's a long episode, but you know what? We got a lot to say. Growing up, my mother had a rule that of a day, there would only be three outings, like three stops in one outing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like we would go to the bank in Rosebud and then maybe we could go to Kmart to pick up something and then we go to Safeway on the way home and that's the three stops.

But if we had to go to the post office to check the PO box, then we're cutting out Kmart because it's three stops. Wait, say you go to like a plaza. Yeah. Post office next to supermarket. Yeah. Is that two stops or one stop? That's two stops. Oh, okay.

So like she's like. These three things that can happen in a day. And they can, right. It can't be like you go to the post office, I'll go to the supermarket. No. We're working as a combined unit yes once we cross the threshold into a place of business that's counted as a stop correct and like you just don't do more than three and also you never waste a trip so if you're at the bottom of the stairs and something needs to go upstairs you best take it with you because it's never wasted a trip. Yeah, that does sound like mum logic.

I also, like growing up in that house with the crazy steps, when the grocery time came, you would fully try and take all the groceries. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Until that thin band of plastic was cutting off your circulation. Oh my God, those were the days. It is truly actually, like my mother would thrive in that environment. Well, I think we know what we're doing now.

That's so twisted. Well, just because I feel like both my dad and sister would not. Like my dad would, no, my dad would hate it. My dad would hate it. My brother would hate it. My dad would hate it. My brother would hate it. My dad would be okay. But like, I don't know. He would also.

It doesn't matter whether they hate it or not. It's who you two want. That's true. You're right. You're right, Matt. But we're so kind. I know. You're considering their feelings, but you shouldn't.

You should just plonk in there and whatever you want. Yeah. We didn't ask if Mishka. Yeah. How she would go. Is it Mishka? Mishka? Whatever. It's Mishka. It's Mikhail. Petrovska

Mikhail. Whatever. I think your mother's a worthy addition. I think. And I think it's stupid to think of anything else. And putty for all! And putty. Yeah. I think the listener will be happy about this yeah and only three stops in the bunker and that's good reject shop wendy's and then i don't think your mother's gonna go to reggie's for the best night out of her life no she my mother is like

what time is your show 7 30 well can't you do it at five? Yeah. Like, that's her vibe. I'm going to see a job. I'm going to see it at three o'clock in the afternoon. Exactly. And you know what? My mum worked at the library for many years when I was growing up. So, if they need someone. Fitzroy North? No. What?

No. Do you want to work with Leanne? Yes, exactly. Yes, she could do that. Good. She could do that. Incredible. Okay. Yes, she could do that. Good. She could do that. Incredible. Okay.

Well, that's great. Oh, what a week. So this week, going into the bunker, we have Misha, the bear from the Russian Olympic Games. Yes. In Moscow. Yeah. Then we have the last three seconds of Deadpool and Wolverine, the film on DVD, which will be in the library.

Yeah, which is just black with a tiny bit of music. Yeah, I think, yeah, very end of the final logo. And then joining the work, you know, doing two days a week at the library in the bunker is Mama Moon. Yeah. Sharon. Sharon. Sharon Lee. Sharon with a Y.
