Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. Mm-hmm. Hi, hi. Her famous catchphrase. Hi, hi, hi. Hi, hi, hi. Branded. I think we should be just transparent up front here. A little transparency. In the moments before

this episode was scheduled to record uh we did have a special expert guest booked with a with a very particular set of skills and they canceled like 15 minutes before family emergency we're not going to say who it is just you know send a good energy their way it is liam neeson but we're gonna give him the benefit of the doubt yeah but usually that's no problem because our show is based on the news we have the news stories and we just get a guest special guest guest to come in today we had a doc full of questions for liam neeson in particular yeah so we were like what what we do what are we going to do super producer on a hose and he steps into the fray bravely and is like i need to tell you about what i've been watching

on streaming that is what we were going to do today and also yeah also been steadily being like golden bachelor when are we talking when are we talking about golden bachelor yes and we said you know what let's swap one expert out for another yeah it's funny when you said the just now and you said super producer and then my name i felt like a like a chest pain pain anyway i don't know it probably isn't related i'm not even joking sometimes i just sometimes someone says my name and my heart stops because the idea that I now have to respond to something is just too overwhelming. Spotlights on you. Spotlights on you. You ready? So this is life, huh? Yeah, yeah, it is.

So this is life. Turns out. Yep. How are you? How are you doing? You still getting out there? Whacking the tennis balls around? Yeah, yeah, yeah around yeah yeah yeah yeah definitely definitely definitely did you did the coco golf title victory were you watching yes i was watching legendary legend i have a question for you yeah my esteemed partner said i said she's a legend and he said but she's not dead yet and i said i'm sorry what

and he said you have to be dead to be considered a legend now i don't know where this opinion came from out of him because he doesn't really say much so i'm like is that true i don't think so no you you respond with this legends never die yeah oh yeah i responded with i'm sorry are you stupid just joking i'm not that crazy but i uh i just was like really sort of taken by this opinion of his no you don't have to be dead to be a legend that's what i thought i was like i literally say everything is a legend yeah exactly it does feel like the sort of thing that if you called like a great comedian who was like in their 60s a legend they would be like screw you that that makes me feel old that makes me sound old you know what i mean like that that sort of thing so i i could see that but i know it's there's nothing that that says you have

to be dead to be a legend and of course course, legends never die. Yeah, exactly. And also, if we mean in the more like colloquial way that Aussies use it, like where it's like, oh, fucking legend. Legend. You're just you're just tight as fuck. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We rock with you. All right.

So, Anna, we're going to get to know you a little bit better right now. Wait, can I just tell you? Actually, no, never mind go go ahead go ahead i mean we're just gonna talk about sometimes i forget we're recording a podcast and we're just hanging out i just interrupt you and be like wait do you know and then i'm like oh wait we're doing like a show my bad my bad go on go on i started zoning out and then came into like oh wait jack do you remember and then i was like we're recording a podcast justin cut out the part where i said do not do not interrupt me in front of the Zeitgang.

I'm sorry. I guys, I apologize. You know, I just spend way too much time with Jack and Miles. I forget what we even do here anymore. What do we do here? And what are we doing? What do we do? Why are we on Zoom?

Yeah. Yeah. We're going to talk about suits mainly. No, that's Anna has said that she I wrote a little thing about suits and no that's anna has said that she uh i wrote a little thing about suits and she did did you see what i did to it right through we did the entire story there's just a strike not quite passive aggressive no more aggressive aggressive uh the whole thing has been struck i thought it was really funny so we're gonna talk talk about that and other things on a streaming. But before we get to any of that, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history?

Oh, shit. That's the one I forgot to look. Let me just Google real quick. Let me just Google real quick. Let me go. What's my search history? What's my search history? You want to know what it is?

Yes. Yes. It's how do you cross out text and google docs i'm sorry i'm shocked that you don't have that i'm shocked that you don't do that more to me i'm shocked that it's not in the little palette of shit that you can do because i'm shocked it's not only like microsoft where it's like default there because i've had the same kind of experience i'm like I'm about to strike this shit through. But I guess it's not there. What do you have to do?

Yeah, it wasn't there. So I literally was like, how do I do it? And then you just have to do like Command Shift X or whatever. Command Shift X. That sounds like it's going to delete that damn thing. There it is. Yeah. Just did it.

Just did it. It did. It deleted it. It crossed it out for the mind it's been deleted my my mind cannot read crossed struck through text jack try reading because i am a labor ally so anything that is struck wow i'm not even touching it you would make this about you what is uh what's something you think is overrated currently what's overrated well actually i was deeply unimpressed by the matchup of daniel medvedev and novak djokovic for the men's final at the u.s open uh-huh i was like oh wow two great

eastern european players are about to compete cool Cool. Uninteresting. One will win. Most likely Novak Djokovic. What? He did win? Okay, moving on. I couldn't even bring myself to watch this match because I was like, wow, they're both going to play absolutely incredibly?

I got to go. I caught some Medvedev stuff earlier in his run. I didn't watch the final. Well, Medvedev versus Alcaraz, incredible. That was an awesome match. Those forehands. Alcaraz, I was, what is happening with Alcaraz? Medvedev reduced Alcaraz to a child in that moment.

And I was actually quite impressed. Because I was like, Alcaraz is a competitor. Yeah. Like, he is next level. When he did that little jump, that little jump shot, jump shot forehand. Do you see that?

Yes. Yeah. No one understands what's happening. The physicality of what is happening. Yeah. Is not human. We need to be testing their blood is what I'm saying. This kid wasn't even up.

This kid wasn't even alive during nine 11. You know? What the fuck? Neither was Coco. Yeah, well, I mean, Coco's young. But in my mind, I don't know. It was just seeing his forehand when they were, like, showing the miles per hour. He's, like, consistently returning it, like, over 100 miles per hour every time.

You're like, what the fuck? 30 across the room. Yeah. Yeah. Incredible. So, I don't know. Yeah, that was a great match. incredible so i don't know yeah that was a great match mevnev has this uh squash shot that they kept referring to where he would just kind of like flick the racket at at the ball because it was

like out of his range but he would be like hitting winners that way which is just new to me i don't i don't know if that's like a new shot they've invented recently or if i just haven't been paying enough attention but my favorite thing about mevvedev is like when they would interview him after the thing he was like yeah i'm like not that good man like this was i was playing out of my mind i don't know what just happened here and i like people who are like truly on one and just are like i'm i don't know what's happening to my body dude that's why people fuck with suits, dude. The exact same vibe. Yeah, absolutely not. It's about somebody with a photographic memory.

Hold on, let me find the leave button on Zoom. That's what you're Googling? Did you see that clip of Sabalenka after the final? She just fucked her racket up. Guys, let's not get into the Sabalenka of it all. They actively call her mentally unstable it is crazy how they speak about sabalenka wow i only just saw like that clip you will literally hear an announcer be like this bitch crazy and you're like what excuse me what i mean not literally

but that's how they speak about her and i I just find it so offensive of like, just stop saying she's mentally unstable. Like, just stop. Like, we get it. She's emotion. She has emotion. But here's the thing. So many of these players from like day one are taught to have absolutely no emotion. Like the Iga Swatiks.

Have you ever looked at Iga Swatik, who used to be world number one and is now world number two? The girl feels nothing, which is why she's such a goddamn stone cold killer on the court she feels nothing nothing moves her but to have now shop sabalenka who is world number one got bumped up to world number one based on how she was performing in the u.s open to play and still be able to carry emotion that's unheard of most of that emotion usually fucks your game up yeah But to still be able to make it to a final, the way they talk about her is so fucking rude. I hate it.

For people who aren't into tennis, like Sabalenka, I'm not usually that into tennis. I'm starting to get a little bit more into it. Sabalenka, first of all, just watching her winners is one of the craziest things. She's a powerful player. She smashes the ball. Probably one of the strongest on the court right now.

During one of her matches, she just started yelling at her smashes the ball. Probably one of the strongest on the court right now. During one of her matches, she just started yelling at her coaches in the crowd, which I like it. Love the fire. That's my favorite thing. When they're really playing and a coach blinks weird, they'll be like, are you fucking with me? And you're like, whoa.

You really gotta act like you feel nothing. And if they hit a good shot, you have to be up out of your seat and cheering them on like your life depends on it or you will ruin their game and they will fire your ass yeah like someone got threatened to fire her team in her like you know runner-up speech and i was like oh yeah you got you can't fuck around she like so during during i think it was her quarter or semi-finals like when she was in the final four match she was yelling at her team and they were

like so what was that all about and she's like well they're not my team anymore are they i just fired them no i'm kidding she does that every time i just like and you're like get a little yeah she's like, no, no. I bought a gun. Like her energy goes from like zero to 100. And you're like, whoa. Whoa. Just kidding.

Just kidding. It reminds me actually of my big fat Greek wedding. In that scene where they're threatening to kill Aiden. I can't remember his real name. Aiden from Sex and the City. Oh, Aiden from Sex and the City. Right, right, right. What's his name? I don't know. That's his name. Aiden from Sex and the City. Oh, Aiden from Sex and the City. Right, right, right. What's his name? I don't know. That's his name. I follow him.

Aiden from Sex and the City, who's in my Big Fat Greek wedding. And the brothers keep being like, We're gonna kill you! Ah! Just joking! I have a gun. Ah! We're just fucking with you. You break her heart. They'll never find your body. And I'm always like, it always, I don't know why, but the Sableco always reminds me of that

because she goes back and forth like that and you're like, wait, what? I don't know why but the sabalico always reminds me of that because she goes back and forth like that and you're like wait what i don't know are they i feel like there was just a lot of incidents too in the u.s open where people were just didn't know how to act either there was like that guy who shouted at fans yeah yeah like the dude who shouted at zverev like was saying like hitler quotes and he's like yo i need this motherfucker out of here they do that a lot they do have a lot of problems like that then like the woman who was like buzzing behind satsipas when he was trying to serve and he had to go to the umpire he's like this woman keeps trying to distract me every time i serve and she's like like is this just like woman who just like like a middle-aged white woman who's like i'm sorry i just i'm fucking with him and

she's like please don't kick me out they And they're like, you're out of here. Please. No, no. I said, please, sir. Yeah. Sorry. Fuck. I don't like him.

I can't even say his name. I just know it's like. It's kind of wild. Like, if you've ever been to a sporting match where you're like, everybody's not forced to be quiet when they're playing the game. Like, it does surprise me how few incidents there are like that right in tennis when there's just a stadium full of people who've been drinking like it's a it is a drinking event for some people so yeah yeah but tennis it's like it's a, when you're playing the singles matches, it's you.

So there's nothing to blame but yourself. So that level of intensity, someone's being like, and you're like, what the fuck are you doing? That ruins your whole game. That's why they say you always have to have two balls on you when you serve. Because in that moment, you serve a first ball and you get a fault or something and you have to go get that other ball that's it your game is ruined because your whole system has been thrown so like it's like they're so superstitious about these things but like at the same time it makes sense because it's just you there's no one else you can rely on but your own psyche to get through this match.

It's not like, you know, in a football stadium where you can be like, well, I'll just pass the ball. Thank you. You know what? I'm going to pass it. We figured out Tom Brady's secret. I'm just going to pass the ball. Or whatever. You know, like, or even in basketball.

Every time Tom Brady threw the the football he was just like i don't even care anymore that's why he was passing it here's too much pressure i don't need no but that's true yeah it's a singular singular performance that relies on that just one performance for sure and also someone is hitting a ball are you going 100 miles per hour so you're like okay i really have to be in this right yeah i was just remembering i had an incident yesterday morning where we were playing a match where they like lob the ball in the air and you have to hit it out the air and i felt snot going down my face oh i couldn't tell if it was snot or sweat because it was pretty humid yesterday morning and it threw me and i'm not even saying like i'm playing at any

such level but it threw me off in a way that i couldn't hit the ball because i was like what is going down my face and then i just missed the ball because i was like more focused on like the fact that like there was either snot or sweat i couldn't figure it out sliming into my mouth that i was like what the fuck and then i missed the ball and i was like yeah no it's not possible you have to you literally have to just eat your sweat or like nothing can affect your game because you'll like you'll you can't focus that's why you have to be so on point if you catch your kid picking his nose and eating their boogers yeah you let them put a racket in their hand

anna what is something you think is underrated uh sort of the spread of COVID it's like really happening like nine people I know have COVID right now everyone I talk to goes like I have COVID and I'm like Jesus Christ we're all gonna die again like the way we're all like Kevin

hmm what's Kevin I heard when what like the last round of boosters I said barely anybody like got and now there's like another round coming out it's when was the last round wasn't that the bivalent one i think so bivalent bivalent yeah ben ben bolin from the bambolin i got it but yeah then no one got it i got it no i got it but then there's like the new one then there's a new one that just came out they just mean that the new one that new iphone 15

they just the news came out today about it getting the the new the new booster getting approval and has anyone done the meme of some of kevin's mom jumping forward and saying, COVID! Like she forgot about COVID. Wait, why? Who's Kevin? COVID, Kevin, Home Alone. Anyways, he's sundowning again, folks. What is happening? No. Yeah, the iconic

Catherine O'Hara. Legendary. See, like Catherine O'Hara is someone you would say is a legend. Legend, mate. Yeah, it's it's happening I guess deaths are happening at a higher rate than previous rises in COVID and we're just kind of we're like OMG what what are you talking about like COVID is spreading again yeah Yeah. Everywhere. And then we're like on a plane and we're like, God, I feel like I left.

So I forgot about something. You know, what did I forget about? And I felt that way. I like realized I didn't have a mask and I started to panic. Right. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Almost like Catherine O'Hara. No, I'm alone. Anyways, it's weird how like the media and like joe byron are like we're past covid and everyone's like every scientist like we're not and we're still doing this thing too where everyone's perception is that somehow the pandemic isn't over but now even anecdotally like without friends who have their like kids in kindergarten and stuff it's like dude a ton of kids are like getting going down in their class with it.

And it's just, yeah, I don't know. Going down in the classroom with COVID. Now, there's a meme. These are all meme ideas that we're just throwing out there for you guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are royalty free. Wait, can I do another underrated? Yeah, yeah.

free wait can i do another underrated yeah yeah not to overshadow the very important one that we need to be vigilant because covet is not gone just because we can i reveal that we're recording this on 9-11 um sure sidebar yes okay i think it's underrated that wait i don't know if you guys are gonna let me do this one we'll cut it out if we can. But that Middle Easterners committed 9-11, okay? Underrated. That's right. Oh, we're doing this bit? Yeah. Because I find it very disrespectful

that people believe 9-11 was an inside job. Right, right. I'm like, how dare you take that away from us? Erasure. That's white supremacy being like how dare you they couldn't have done this by themselves yeah how dare you be like why would they be upset from years of sort of destabilization of imperialism that they would attack us it's like how dare you then but then wouldn't the counter be like then they'd be like well it's actually our foreign policy that did it.

So that's another one in the column for the U.S. Yeah, but like, look at how many people died. That's like totally Bush. That is like a Bush vibe, you know? See what I mean, though? See how you just sort of erased me from the narrative? I just find it rude. Other than that, yeah.

If you say it's an inside job job you're erasing just what these people you're erasing sort of like a great accomplishment yeah like what we as i say we i'm literally just making myself everyone we talked about this everybody tries to make 9-11 about themselves on some level we can't avoid it they do we can't avoid it i was almost on that flight bro if i had been wouldn't have gone down that way did you see like the like number one like timothy chalamet fan club twitter was like i almost took a job in the world trade center jesus christ what is happening wait it's like a timothy chalamet the number one timothy chalamet club chalamet and it like posted like i was i almost took a job but i chose not to

or whatever because of whatever xyz yeah yeah like they've been in the one of the towers it's also way to carbon date well we had a carbon date yourself too oh i think they already know that this person was like much older okay 70 yeah this this club chalamet account gets a lot of really funny like people talk a lot of shit about them i don't know i don't know why i'm so deeply online that i would know this but i just thought it was funny that she was like or he she i actually don't know it's like i too yeah story about 9-11 to post on the club chalamet twitter that is really the like number one cultural uh output from 9-11 is celebrities and other people claiming to have almost been there you've of course got the ran aziz you've got yeah michael

jackson claimed that he was supposed to be in a meeting in the twin towers and only missed it because he had stayed up all night talking to his family. And then drove across country with, wasn't it with, what's her face? Liz Taylor and Marlon Brando. There's a whole listicle called Famous People Who Almost Died on 9-11.

We love it, folks. We love it. Yeah, don't we? Jackie Chan? Miles, think about the sliding door of a world where Mark Wahlberg died on 9-11 like and but also that's right things would have gone down a little differently yeah anyway so risk respect to um al-qaeda i don't even know what i'm doing right now and i apologize but i just want to say i don't buy the whole inside job theory it just doesn't make sense

it is inherently racist and white supremacist to be like oh well these middle easterners these Muslims couldn't possibly have pulled this off guess what they did and they were trained by Americans remember we were just talking about remember talking about that how to with John

Wilson episode where he meets the personal trainer that ended up training some of the remember we were just talking about remember talking about that how to a john wilson episode where he meets the personal trainer that ended up training some of the fucking people from 9-11 and he was like i am proud of what they did because they had a goal in mind and they achieved it with my training oh yeah dude this american dude who you would not expect to take like that to come out from his mouth but and the goal to be like, we're not even going to train at home. We're going to go have the Americans teach us to fly. That's the biggest fuck you. We're not even going to waste our time

at home. We're going to go to America. We're going to pay people to train us their way and then we're going to use the knowledge they gave us against them. That's like, I'm sorry, but like, they're not doing it like that anymore.

Goals! 9-11 goals? No, they had goals. I'm not saying it's my goal to do another 9-11. I'm just saying they had goals and achieved them. Apparently, Gabourey Sidibe, obviously, you know,

Precious, based on the novel Push from Sapphire, almost died in 9-11. But she was late for class. She slept in and missed her class. But debris from one of the towers hit the building she's supposed to be in and people died. Wow. Wow. How many different types of offices were in these buildings? Was like every industry possible in these buildings.

I'm so confused. I think this is a nearby community college. I think that was just in the district. But anyway. Yeah. It's a long list, folks. All right. Well, there's a little 9-11 stuff to hold you over until next 9-11.

We are going to take a quick break. And we'll be right back to talk about what you should be streaming, what you are streaming suits plenty more. We'll be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, Lucha Libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance.

It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Santos! Santos! Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring.

This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.

In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic.

If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in a relationship with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back. And we're back. And Anna, during the pandemic,

we had a regular Anna's Streaming Corner segment where you would tell us what we should be streaming. We've been away from it for too long. It is now time to get caught up on all the things that people should be streaming, should not be streaming.

What have we missed in these past years, months? Thanks, Jack. I'll let you know. So let me scroll up over all the stuff I crossed out. I'll let you know. Signs off the call. Let me find the leave button.

So let's start with movies that I've really enjoyed. Yeah. Ooh, I watched those. Okay. Joy Ride. Joy Ride was so fun. Did you guys watch Joy watch joyride no i haven't seen joyride yet no but i know so it stars ashley park sherry cola stephanie ju sabrina woo and it's it's directed by uh adele lim who you might also know from they crazy rich agents crazy rich literally couldn't remember what that was called which is by Adele Lim, who you might also know from Crazy Rich Asians.

Crazy Rich Asians. I literally couldn't remember what that was called, which is a travesty. She wrote Crazy Rich Asians for the screen? Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And it's so fun. I was really enjoying it.

It's a group of Asian American women and they travel to Asia and it's just a wild romp and it's filled with a bunch of really great actors. And I really enjoyed it. I recommend you guys watch it. Joyride. Is it streaming now or is it, did you go see it in theaters? I did not see it in theaters. I saw it how I watched the majority of my films, which is on a plane.

Sorry. Oh, wow. You're in the sky that often. films, which is on a plane. Sorry. Oh. Wow. You're in the sky that often. I only watch movies on a plane. But when I do, I get them all. I get to watch movies. Yeah.

It's cheaper than going to the movies a bunch. They just like, they kill time quicker. But it will, it is currently available for rent on, you know, Amazon, Apple, and all the other streamers.

So, you know, hey, what the heck? Spend like, what is it? I don't even know how much it is to rent. Five bucks? Spend some money. Give these great creators some cash-a-rola, I guess. Yeah. Cash-a-rola.

Yeah, that is what they call it. Cash-a-rola. Cash-a-rola, baby. Came out right before, I think, Barbenheimer. So so i think got overshadowed by that but how would how could they have known i've heard nothing but great things about this i'm very excited to see it and bottoms i hear is also very good honestly girl but i think bottoms is also in theater so go see bottoms i luckily got to see a streamer for Bottoms. Don't worry about it.

And I loved it. I really thought, look, Iota Berry, Rachel Sennett, legends. Still alive. And, but who stole the show? Goddamn Marshawn Lynch. Holy shit. Marshawn Lynch was funny it turns out he was improvising

he also did the movie i watched a interview he did the movie because i guess when he was in high school or maybe junior high his sister came out as a lesbian and he felt that he treated her really poorly and this was him like sort of trying to make amends and like learn and like understand what it is to be like a queer person living and so like that was his reasoning for signing on to do the film because he was like i want to do better and like i treated my sister so poorly and it just wasn't okay wow i mean look at mark it's wild too because i the first time i saw him improvise was that show murderville on Netflix. And let's just say he stole the show. And I was like, wow.

I think it just shows like even if you don't have like the sort of, you know, the training of improv and how to do like a Herald or whatever. That like just having like being such a pure wit person is this is actually good enough and in a way better because you come off like just obviously like sort of this uh unfinished i don't know a diamond in the rough as it will yeah yeah i mean he's so funny like just doing stuff at super bowl week when he was in the super bowl and was just like this is stupid or even like at Cal when he would take over like the athletic, like the physio cart and just bending corners on the field like he was out in the streets. Everything about him was always like, this guy knows how to live. This guy knows how to live. This has, against all odds, become a sports episode. Right.

This has become a Marshawn Lynch show. Yeah. What else did you see on the plane? Wait, what did you say? I said yeah what else did you see on a plane uh wait what did you say I said what else did you see on a plane it's funny because I was only about to say another film I saw on a plane which is The Blackening uh which was a really great film it's it's like a la like scary movie sort of energy but it's like a group of friends who go to like a cabin in the woods and then you know deal with like a sort of horror movie situation where they're being hunted basically and they're you know they have to band together and uh fight their way out of it so it's really

funny it stars the hilarious duane perkins who i also believe had a hand in writing it yvonne orgy's in it jay pharaoh's in it x mayo's in it she's really funny in it oh man x mayo is so fucking funny also x mayo on watch what happens live we really need an x mayo sans because she's so fucking funny anyway i really recommend it really great film it's not like super super scary so like if you're like not into horror movies i think you would still really enjoy it because it's still like sort of it's still playing on like murder film tropes that help them sort of navigate the movie too like it's it's like self-aware to a point right yes yes yeah yeah yeah those are great a great trailer i saw

in the theaters but i did not notice that it like when it came out it got incredible reviews and is doing really well that tends to happen five million dollars 17.7 million bucks that tends to happen a lot with you know poc-led films where we go. How about that? Where was the marketing for that? It's so consistent. It's pretty fucked up. Especially with things that are feature films. You're like, oh, so y'all really just felt there was no point in putting anything in the marketing, even though it recouped

your money. Anyway, it's another show. Based on the trailer, they get in this house and they're told that there's a killer who's going to kill them and they have to sacrifice one of their one of themselves based on whom they deem to be the blackest which well there's a lot of series of really funny stuff like that well they'll be like name three like they play a game where like they get pulled into a whole Saw-style game where they have to name three black guest stars on Friends.

And they're all like, Oh, no. They're all like, no! And it's really reaching to figure it out. So it's stuff like that. But it's really well done. It's so funny. I see you got the new Ninja Turtles on there.

I did take my guys to see that. It's really well done. It's so funny. I see you got the new Ninja Turtles on there. I did take my guys to see that. That's a classic. That's all your sort of adult friends? Yeah, my guys. Me and my boys. Not my sons. Just the crew I call my boys. My boys.

And we came out of that theater doing jump kicks and such cool ninja moves. It was awesome. do they also get sucked into like new york culture though too who's my kid yeah like because aren't they like aren't they very new york bacon egg and cheese oh yeah like chopped cheese and stuff yeah like let me get a chopped cheese with the bev but it's like okay we're doing the tiktok shit okay i hear you they're fun i i i really enjoyed it actually iota barry in it as well great great classic film already i don't know what it's called i just know i just wrote new ninja turtles movie because i don't know what these sort of

movies are you tend to mayhem it's not a great title yeah so it's it's oh okay so teenage mutant ninja turtles mutant mayhem that's the full title that's the full title it's, it's, oh, okay. So Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mutant Mayhem. That's the full title. That's the full title. It's pretty fun. Yeah. I enjoyed it. And also Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, you know, behind it.

So, you know, it's like a real blast. Also want to give a, go ahead. I was going to say, you guys both have been recommending No Hard Feelings to me. I have. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the one with... One ticket to Jennifer Lawrence, please. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I got to say, honestly, funnier than I thought it was going to be. I was actually LOL-ing. Yeah, it's... I don't know if I... And part of me was just i think i went in because i was like i want to see like when you read how jennifer lawrence wanted to do a comedy that's what even motivated me to see it because i'm like okay she says she's she wanted to fucking

perform and so i was intrigued by that and yeah she's fucking i think just because she's really able to not take herself seriously she's able to be like a really good comedic performer. I think part of the tension, you feel like she's such a leading actress. Can she do X, Y or Z? And also Matthew Broderick as Laird, the dad of the one dude. Was this funny? Laird. His name's Laird.

He is like the most like lib older dude vibes. Laird ass energy. Yeah. Yeah. It was I was I was LOLing. It was a good time. I really want to give a quick shout out to They Clone

Tyrone, which is actually on Netflix. Hilarious. Holy shit. They really just casually put out one of the funniest movies of the year. Really? Have you not seen The Clone Tyrone? No, I've just seen a trailer,

and it seems like that's the one where Boyega is very specific. John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, Kiefer Sutherland's even in it, rando. It's got David Allen Greer. Honestly, lulz. Hard lulz. Hard lulz. Hard lulz. it's uh it's got david allen greer honestly lulls hard lulls hard lulls hard lulls yeah it's about you know it's like you know of course an unlikely group of fans discovers a government conspiracy and it's not 9-11 yeah what it's not 9-11 no it's not 9-11. Yeah. What? It's not 9-11, no. It's not 9-11, no. No, no, no, no. Unfortunately.

Well, hey. All right. Next time. Those are some of the movies I recommend. All right. We're going to take a break. And when we come back, we are going to talk TV. We're going to talk.

The anticipation is palpable for The Golden Bachelor. So we're going to talk about that and then other recommendations. We'll be right back when you think of mexican culture you think of avocado mariachi delicious cuisine and of course lucha libre it doesn't get more mexican than this lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance.

It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved.

You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption,

my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back. And so the main thing that we want to talk about on tv is just the absolute dominance of suits it's been watched for 26.5 billion minutes total across net flock net flock netflix and peacock for the last eight weeks read when there's line structure it's hard i am reading script through text it's the making it just hit seven weeks in a row crossing the three billion minute mark it's it's a genuine phenomenon that nobody wants to

talk about because they're scared are we well let's be. That show would not really have a resurgence if it wasn't for once again, our people's princess, Megan Markell. Sorry. Hate to say it. Yeah. And she was on it for most of the seasons, right? Except for like the last. Yeah, she was on it for the majority of the show, I think. Right, right, right. She got written off later on to go do her duties. As the people's princess, obviously. Yeah. Her duties to suffer under a racist fucking

as every as every person dreams of eventually yeah will it come for me but again this is one of those things where because streaming is like such a weird business model like nobody pays nobody really pays attention to the the fact that this is like the most popular thing on tv right other than the nfl like right just everybody's watching this the the show suits is entering the bloodstream of america at unprecedented rates and people are just like yeah all right whatever suits i feel like in this was the 90s and that many people were watching suits there would be you know they'd be on the cover they megan markle and the lawyer with a photograph of memory who didn't go to harvard but is pretending to go to harvard his name is mike

mike okay mike okay so producer becca a fan of suits i'm a fan okay help us understand to the viral tiktoks of people watching suits because it is now on netflix i succumb to the algorithm saying top 10 shows in the country right now suits even though it was on a million years ago i was someone who watched four years ago you rewatch you're on suits rewatch mode i'm on suits rewatch mode You're on Suits rewatch mode. I'm on Suits rewatch mode. OK, I watched it on cable television when it was out airing every night. It is fun. OK, it is a fun, good time. If you're like me who likes to watch disassociative television, a.k.a. television that is not current because you cannot be tasked with the weight of keeping up with something. It's great. It's a great ketamine of television. It just takes you out of your body and makes you feel like you can just sit

there. Yeah. It's I watched it all last week as I deep clean my apartment. It's fun to see the shenanigans the team gets into. It's very weird to see Meghan Markle now that we know her as the people's princess, Meghan Markle in like such a very silly evening television show with a love interest that's like, oh my God, you're better than Mike.

And her hair is poorly done because they didn't know what to do with it. It's rough. Wait, they get into nanigans on this? They get into some shenanigans? Absolutely. Ana, did you know this before you came out with your hard anti-suits stance?

You don't actually have to speak to me during this segment. I'll just sort of be here, but just don't worry about me. Becca, we appreciate you coming in to speak on behalf of millions. Speak on my People's Princess, Meghan Markle, aka the best paralegal to ever cross.

Rachel Zane. Rachel Zane, yes. Rachel Zane, the People's Paralegal. Okay, from reading a little bit about it and watching trailers for the first couple of seasons, the thing that I gleaned from it is that like, I'm trying to understand why people are watching it. And I know that based on the sheer numbers,

Jackie, like something is happening, but is it that there's something about the show or it just says to us right now that people are like, I just need to fucking get away from it all. And Suits is somehow being the most potent vehicle for something like that. Yeah, I feel like a big part of it is Netflix was really promoting it. They're like, we now have Suits.

You want to rewatch that shit that you haven't seen in four years? And everyone was just kind of like, you know what? All of Netflix originals kind of suck right now. I absolutely will watch Suits. And I think there is an allure to it of like, oh, did they scrub that from the internet? All of Netflix originals kind of suck right now. Right. I absolutely will watch Suits. And I think there is an allure to it of like, oh, did they scrub that from the Internet? It just felt like it was kind of scrubbed because she was becoming the princess. Like we couldn't watch any of her former work or like the royal family. There was a conspiracy on behalf of the royal family to keep it from us.

Exactly. Like she because she was being when she was in the royal family you know rebranded as this person who is you know solely out there doing humanitarian work you know fighting for you know people's rights all that stuff they're like we can't have her making out on television yeah you know because she'd be having some raunchy scenes yeah that's not out here some guy who didn't go to harvard law school pretends to. Who is not Prince Harry. So in many ways, we are all Meghan Markle

because we were being kept from our true love by the royal family. In this case, our true love is Suits. Absolutely. Amazing. Well, thank you. I still don't get it. I still don't get it, though.

Like, I get that, like, it feels like... Are you the Mii guy from Big? Yeah. Wow. Timely reference. But, like, it just feels like I get that it's not challenging plot lines or dialogue. And I think maybe there is, like, sort of that, like, if you have a secret or you have or you like there's an imposter syndrome element to it that's like relatable. But like at the end of the day, I'm like people really just I feel like people just have this shit on in the background.

They do. I guess more is it are people. Yeah, right. So you're not being like, yo, we got to watch it and we got to go through every little moment. So it's basically audio visual wallpaper. Yes, absolutely. And you can chime in and you're like oh my god tiki that was a fun joke or you're like oh my god i get my girl really is gonna make with this guy right now and all i can think about is that she's married to prince harry and now while i'm watching this show was she ever really gonna know like oh my god i'm marrying prince harry eventually like you're just watching oh wow this is such a time capsule yeah in american television okay the acting it

would take to be on a show pretending to be rachel zane without just breaking into laughter and saying fuck it all i'm going to marry prince harry is pretty that's crazy yeah it is weird that so many of our shows that we you know we're in a time where like work is killing us and there's too much work and work is driving a lot of unhappiness that like we end up gravitating towards the office and suits and these like workplace shows but maybe it's just like revisiting the you know the scene of the crime of like the thing that robbed us of our humanity to like see it made right by this person who's like actually the best lawyer even though he didn't go to the best schools right because with the office i thought it was something to

do with the time it came out and people are getting nostalgic for that but this shit only came out four years ago and it's not even like like i know people who are you know like uh like in-laws who are like, are you watching suits? And I'm like, wait, you're on this wave too? Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right.

The mystery continues. We should get back to super producer Ana Hosnia's stream. Are you there, Anna? Yes. Thank you, Becca. Thank you, Becca. But this is, this is not America's streaming corner. This is Ana Hosnia's streaming corner, streaming corner where she's going to tell you...

So what should we be streaming? Everybody is streaming Suits. What should they be streaming instead? What's the television they need to put their eyes on? So, you know, there's a lot of great shows that are actually ending this year, which is sad. It's sort of an end of an era.

But I just want to give some shout-outs to what we do in the shadows. Okay, we finally find out if Guillermoermo is gonna become a vampire or not you know okay we'll find out anything could happen yeah more yeah more anyway i just love saying that how to with john wilson ended yeah so good man devastating honestly that show could have gone on for 86 more seasons i like in season three it becomes very sort of like break the fourth wall like him filming himself at the emmys and stuff right right right it just gets so good he goes to burning man really great episode on that i like how when he went to the his the own emmy party for hbo he

wasn't on the list it's like I have a show on the fucking network. They're like, sorry, Josh Wilson. We don't have to. He's like the early episode about the penis enhancement guy is one of the

craziest things I've ever seen. The foreskin rejuvenation? Yeah, foreskin rejuvenation. Yeah. There are some incredible episodes. One of the craziest things I've ever seen. The foreskin rejuvenation? Yeah, foreskin rejuvenation. Yeah. He's always shook. There are some incredible episodes. You know, I really enjoyed the one where he ends up at a sort of Avatar convention. Oh, that was deep. I thought that one was so beautiful at the end.

It's just like, you know, I don't personally fuck with Avatar due to the aggressively racist undertones. But I, I like that these people were able to find something that like took them out of the community. Yeah. If you're, if you're looking for my co-sign of the episode, I'm going to give it to how to with John Wilson. It's like its own genre of media.

Like it's totally its own thing, but for sure. By Nathan Fielder. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like its own genre of media. Like it's totally its own thing. But for sure, EP by Nathan Fielder. Yeah. Yeah. But like he has such an incredibly unique narrative voice. Yeah. I can't wait to see what he does next. Yeah.

What else we got? What else we stand by to? Physical is ending, which is a very sort of surreal but fun dark show about suffering from you know eating disorders and body dysmorphia I thought it was very entertaining Rose Byrne Bryn? Byrne.

I don't know. So good. She's so good. I think she has such range range I don't know. You guys don't agree? Oh, yeah. I mean, from comedy to, you know.

Do you guys not agree? I agree with that take. Why is she making a slashing joke? She's a legend from Australia. I really, I mean, I've loved her for a while from her days on Damages. God, God, Damages was great. Damages is what you should be watching not suits sorry to say it um and then also you know her and seth rogan in platonic holy shit

they are so funny together from their neighbor's days to this platonic guys you haven't watched platonic i'm gonna say apple tv really stepped up and put out some fucking content this year from platonic to shrinking even the after party season two was really funny shout out paul what's his name paul walter hauser hauser walter let me just start like probably paul walter hauser you got two last names that both sound like last names I will never know which one goes first but everyone in that was really great shout out to that anyway go look at Apple TV great content

shrinking was very funny I was impressed Harrison Ford does comedy he does I mean it's like one of those things too chances are you probably get it for free with there's so many things you realize you get for free just from like being a member of some other thing now, it's like one of those things, too. Chances are you probably get it for free with there's so many things you realize you get for free just from like being a member of some other thing now. Like it's I'm surprised.

I feel like I don't have to pay for streaming anymore because I'm like, oh, you have this insurance. Will you get Netflix? Yeah, it's true. Oh, you have 12 sandwiches on your subway card. Oh, you get Hulu now for a year ad free. Oh, anytime you buy any Apple apple product they give you a year of apple tv free it is a little thirsty where they're like here man six months bro you want that it's like no just needed a case for my iphone okay check it out though well anyway

so that's physicals ending reservation dogs is ending sad such a great show this is the third season now third season now? Third season. They unfortunately canceled Single Drunk Female after only two seasons, even though that show was so good. I really loved it. Shout out to former guest Madison Shepard who plays one of the funniest characters on that show. Amazing.

The, what is it? What's the person that you have to check in with after you go to jail? PCO? Pearl Officer? She wasn't a Pearl Officer. Maybe Was the person that you have to check in with after you go to jail? PO? Parole officer? Not parole officer. Because she wasn't a parole officer. So maybe probation officer. More probation officer.

Because this person wasn't on parole. She just got drunk. Relax. Anyway. Also, The Great is ending. Which is, unfortunately, also a great show. The other two. I mean, never forget the other two. regardless of all the drama behind the scenes.

That show was next level. That final season of the other two was a feat in television filmmaking. Jack, did you come around to it? I did, yeah. Jack, did you? I remember the first couple of those. We had knives out for Jack when he was like, I don't know about this one. But again, to each their own.

The AIDS play? Are you out of your goddamn mind? That's the greatest episode of television. For some reason, because we were binging it, going from season, whatever the penultimate season was to the last season, there was a tonal shift that fucked me up a little bit. But I did end up

coming around but the tone just was like hey you like the other two well this is the other two times six thousand like we are going full pure chaos no point where you don't know what's real and what's not i did like it was so good i did love it um apparently south side is ending which i haven't heard this but i saw it online and that devastates me because it's so funny. Yeah. And also they canceled Z-Way after two seasons, which is big mistake. Big,

huge mistake. Yeah. But other things to watch that are still going on real quick. I'll do a quick one. Is this full on Hulu? Oh my God. Frankie. Don't miss it.

It's so good. Michael Imperioli. It's apparently incredible. Ahsoka, new Disney Plus. Star Wars. Star Wars show. Follows two women of color. So get in on it.

Okay. Also Ahsoka, legendary character. Of course, we have to give love to Only Murders in the Building, baby. They came for Martin Short. They did. They came for martin short they came for martin short people rose up the whites were like absolutely not y'all came out of the fucking portals to defend that man i saw an incredible tweet uh the other day i want to shout out from at yc when they say white people have no culture i remember the day they mounted up for Martin Short. We both shouted that tweet out

and shouted you out for sending it to us on yesterday's episode. I definitely don't listen. Okay, yeah, shout out Only Margin Building. Great show. Of course, I have to give really quick some love to some reality TV. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

season four, I i believe has started i have not watched a single minute of this and you showed me a trailer for the upcoming season and it gave me a panic that wasn't a trailer honey that was an opening that's how the show opens that's how the show started yeah they're like, you wanted reality TV. This is theater. You're like, oh, wow. This is Shakespearean. They bring in kids like a child choir singing underneath it. That's the whole show.

Is that like. And you're like, what is happening? What are these women are arguing about cheese? You know, you're like, what's going on? But I got to say, the nonsensical Bible quotes that don't go together, like everything about this show is pure camp. And I really recommend it. If you want to watch a reality show, but you just don't know where to start and you want to get into some true nonsense, start watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City because

they are, no one is doing it like them. They have no sense of what is happening in the outside world. Right. Because everything revolves around them and it is hilarious. And they're all going to jail. it like them they have no sense of what is happening in the outside world right because everything revolves around them and it is hilarious and they're all going to jail it's so funny these women in salt lake city yeah yeah they like a bit of fraud turns out they love fraud they love to accuse each other of being in the mafia they just genuinely have have they there's no shame in their game and that's what makes good tv but yeah i think

the the real reality show that even i've been anticipating ever since you said it was happening yeah go on what do you believe in love after love i don't remember yes lyrics but do you believe yes yes yes yes we're talking about the golden bachelor. Oh, I thought we were going to take turns sort of singing it lyric by lyric. Oh, no. There's no way I could do the vocoder version of Cher right there. And I don't know how to control this. I don't. It's hard.

It's like you can. Well. I don't need you anymore. I don't need you anymore. There you go. There you go. You just got to do that little windpipe action. But yeah, the golden bachelor is coming out.

And this is like taking exploitation to the next level. just got to do that little little windpipe action but yeah the golden bachelor is coming out and this is like taking exploitation to the next level but this is exactly the kind of exploitation i needed to see because we have a 70 year old widower who is now looking at how many contestants does he have how many eligible bachelorettes is there usually like 20 i believe there's 20 women vying for this man's heart. Yeah. But like the difference being with... 22, excuse me, 22 senior women. Of course.

But the difference here being that we've moved on from like, dude, anybody over 32 is going to make us puke, to saying this is purely a group of contestants between 60 and mid-70s-ish for this 70-year-old man whose name is spelled like Jerry but pronounced Gary to experience the whole bachelor process with. Yeah, so they've actually...

Wait, it's spelled J-E-R-R-Y? No, it's spelled G-E-R-R-Y but pronounced Gary. What? Does that read as Gary or Jerry to you? That's definitely Jerryerry that's jerry right it's look this scary i mean who knows again that's no that's that's for him to figure out but okay i mean anna you watch enough bachelor to know that like i think the thing you always

worry about with contestants on it with like the youthful contestants is like they know there's like this bachelor to spawn con pipeline that you've definitely put me on to ever since I've come on to. Will you accept this rose? But it feels like with this, these are truly like women in their 60s and 70s who are like, I'm ready to be in love again. And there's like a weight to it that just feels, I don't know, the stakes feel much higher. Yeah, so they've been promoting this like senior bachelor for a while being like, oh, we're trying to get a senior.

You know, they do those things. Right, maybe we'll do it. Yeah, they've been like, sign up now for the senior bachelor for like two or three years now. And we've all been like, yeah, right. Well, believe it when we see it.

You keep teasing us, but you won't give us anything. So they finally did. They brought out Jerry. But I think it actually took them a very long time to find the perfect lead in Gary Jerry, which I think him being a widower is key. Because one, you don't have an ex-wife being like fucking jerry jerry whatever that would be a mess that would be an episode that's the escalation like instead of going to meet with a family you were going to meet with the ex-wife oh boy you're still paying alimony yeah yeah it's real tough but yeah like i think yeah the widower aspect definitely gives it a little bit of oomph, for sure. Yeah, it gives it some oomph.

It makes Gary Jerry a sympathetic character. He clearly didn't cheat on his wife or, I don't know, start some situation that's negative that the ex-wife can come out and complain about. Or the daughters can't be like, he left mom or whatever. So it's kind of perfect because he's like i'm sad oh even though his wife died six years ago there is sort of an energy that he might not be ready but you know i hate that's not my problem i'm here to watch tv that's what i'm saying exploitation to the level i'm here for because i'm not even sure gary is like when he talks about how his wife passed away it broke my heart.

Just like that entire studio audience did when they were hearing his story for the first time about like they were retiring together and they picked out this perfect lake house. And then within days of like getting this house, she just like succumbed to like a terrible bacterial infection. Oh, my God. And she was the love of his life, like high school sweethearts been together, you know, a thousand years, how old they are. And but you don't know. He's got 22 eligible senior women, all 60 plus. There's a great trailer where they're dancing to shares. Do you believe in love after love?

I don't even know what the life after love is. And let me tell you, they are they are dancing like a like a big pharma. I just discovered a medication that's going to help me with my, you know, dot, dot, dot. And they are living their best lives. I haven't seen somebody put on hosiery since the 80s. And they have like a scene where she's like rolling it up her leg i'm like that's a visual trope i have not seen in a while yeah it was something and i think yeah this is exactly this is kind of what you want to see are people

who are actually motivated to try and find someone rather than can i stay on camera the longest which i feel like that's most of these people seem so far out of the range of being poisoned by social media that they are going to come in with you know a genuine desire to meet somebody and look their fun facts are incredible like one of the women christina's her first concert was the beatles in 1964 like you know edith is building an ADU in her backyard and she's the project manager. Like one lady's like, I love Christmas. And you're like, of course you do. Right.

Because people are just going to teach Americans how to live better because they're all retired and they just like have amazing like things to do with their free time. Well, Sandra is very proud of her high credit score. Wait, Sandra? Of course, Sandra. Yes, Sandra. their hobbies time well they're like sandra is very proud of her high credit score wait of course sandra yes sandra that was the 75 year old woman who was looking ageless wow yeah i would think i got a woman who's a former aerobics champion that's not a thing anymore the fuck is an aerobics champion but leslie i know what's their what's everybody's favorite hobby though uh pickleball they all they all fucking said they played pickleball which is also guess what marina not two master's degrees she's got three master's degrees why why marina because i got the master's degrees and what do you do with that i'm a professional pickleball player

and they're all like i love bruce springsteen and you're like of course you do it's incredible they're like i watch judge judy honestly you really it doesn't get better than this it's like i've never related to people on the bachelor more yeah the pickleball thing is interesting because they all are like and i love to play pickleball and i loved it like they cut it together everybody talking about pickleball and then them, like, does a flirty thing where they're like, I'm bringing a pickleball. He can. We'll see if he can handle it. I love to see how he feels about my pickleball. That's Marina with the three masters degrees.

But a pickleball is just like a wiffle ball. It's not like a sexy thing. It's such a weird, like, flirt. Jack, they're 70. I know. Jack, pickleball is code. It's code for weird, like, flirt. Jack, they're 70. I know. Jack, pickleball is code. It's code for senior orgies. Here's what Teresa taught herself all about the stock market.

Like, it is, this is next level, baby. We are here. We're the golden era of The Bachelor. Literally. They're all like, hey, do you know about 401ks and gary jerry's like she's like i've never felt so heated you know like they're just like gay jerry really looks like he is just what a bachelor would age into like he he looks so stereotypically like a bachelor. Right, right, right.

There is something strange happening with whatever his self-tanner solution is. But overall, I'm here for it. The fact that they've gone with a golden rose as the like kind of central symbol of this makes me uneasy. That feels like it is as likely to be a murder weapon as anything but it's pretty floppy no it looks pretty floppy aesthetics bro relax i saw him pick it up it was floppy it's gonna be the new clue well i will say real quick uh there's some mysterious things about gary jerry's wife's past no jack you better fucking watch it dude um don't come for gary jerry larry uh there was really great um well he he was on the bachelor

finale like after the final rose and all these all the new bachelors were like giving him advice they were just saying like all this stuff. I don't know the way they were talking. You could just tell Gary Jerry had no idea what was going on. Like he genuinely was just like, I don't know what any of this means. Like he just has no sense. I think they're really trying to media train him to be like kind of like hip and cool. But like his energy is like, haha.

Yeah. It's just so it's so norm core you know I think that's what's kind of refreshing is that he doesn't have like he doesn't seem the best on camera but he does seem like he's genuinely interested in having his skin look darker well they're like everyone's gonna slide into your dms and he was like

oh no what oh god what are their dms well do you remember the promo they're like his dms and he was like oh no what oh god what are their dms what well do you remember the promo they're like his dms have postage on it and his thirst traps are in a leather bound album and you're like okay we get it like don't don't fuck us up with your bad copyright just let gary jerry do his thing uhps. Are these to catch a lobster? Here's the thing, though. How many people from this cast are going to get found out? Because whenever there's a season of The Bachelor or Bachelorette, people always find a way to be like,

this person was actually the former grand wizard of the KKK. And they're like, oops, sorry. It is true. Now, here's the thing. Gary Jerry is from Indiana. So we do have to kind of be like, oops, sorry. It is true. Now, here's the thing. Gary Jerry is from Indiana. So we do have to kind of be like, Gary Jerry, we're going to have to see who you've been donating to for the last 20 years. Yeah. Because.

I'm just I feel like we're going to some some people are going to slip through the cracks. And I feel like inevitably. The other loafer is going to drop. Yeah, exactly. When's the other foam shoe going to slip through the cracks. And I feel like inevitably. The other loafer is going to drop. Yeah, exactly. When's the other foam shoe going to drop? Yeah, that's true. Oh, boy. What do you think the chances are?

Is it pretty much guaranteed every season, Anna? You watch enough to know if every season they're like, y'all fucked up again? A lot of them more recently as like the Internet has become, you know know easier to find everyone's goddamn everything that they've ever done like i know exactly how much you donated to trump and when you know like you can find that out yeah it's called open secrets.org yeah i'm just checking to see if anyone is from palm beach florida honestly oh man most of them seem from pretty progressive hubs so let's fingers crossed i also do want to give a shout out to matt james our first black bachelor his mom patty is one of the women

oh wow oh yeah yeah shit okay well i feel like everybody's gonna find love that's gonna be interesting though the the family episodes will be interesting with like young like kids like young men being like what's your fucking problem gary gary gary why do you spell your name jerry but you spell it gary god we have to get our moms on this it could go either way gary because it's g-e-r-r-y so like i keep forgetting which one it is like which one i thought it was when I first saw it and which one it actually is because it's neither.
