Do they? Yeah, they really do. They love that. Best writing I've ever seen. You've never seen it. No, that's what people say about it. That's what people say about it. I had that with Game of Thrones, where I was like, everyone's talking about this, everyone

I couldn't get through one episode. Wait, so is the question, it's a show and you want to be like like the fans. You want to get into the show or is it the opposite? It's like a show that you're thinking about and then you see the fans are like, yeah

Let me give it a try and you know Like what Chris just said we He gave it a throw, I can't get through one episode. So what is it for you? For me, it's Dune. Dune with Zendaya and Timmy Chalamet. And it's like, it's everyone made this big deal, it's this remake, and it's awesome. It's the greatest filmmaking ever. All right, Dune, let's watch it. It was on HBO Max and I threw it on, or Max, excuse me.

I threw it on and 15 minutes in I fell asleep. But you know what, I was tired. I was tired. I was late. I was out watching at 10 o'clock, what'd you expect, right? So others raise the bar, right? They raise the bar so high that it's impossible

for the show to meet expectations. I don't even know if that happens to me with Breaking Bad actually. I don't even know if they raise the bars to God so much as like... It's boring. It's a boring ass movie. It doesn't speak to me.

And I've never gotten past 15 minutes. Every time I try watching, I fall asleep. I have a show like that. It's happened to me multiple times, but I don't, I feel like I can't say it. No, you say it. Because this person's a friend of the show and stuff. Oh, is it Parks and Rec?

No, no, no. I know the show. Is it Scrubs? It's Ted Lasso. It is. Oh, wow. I've tried three different times, and every time I fall into sleep in it,

and then I go back to try a third or fourth time, and then my wife will flat out say, no, we've tried already. Oh, wow, even your wife's out of it. No, she's really the driving force, because everybody talks about it, and I'm like, this is a already. Oh wow, even your wife's having a hard time. No, she's really the driving force, because everybody talks about it, and I'm like, this is a thing. You know, everybody says it's so positive and so great, and you know, maybe it was me, maybe it was me,

I just, it was tired, I was late, it was tired, maybe it was me, and then it happens again, I was like, oh, maybe it was me, and then my wife is finally like, by the fourth time, she's like, no, like we've given it a try, not for us. And I'm like, okay, well, I'm not gonna get in a fight with Ted Lasso Billy I have a I have a confession to make yeah, I

To try Ted lasso and it wasn't for me And I'm not saying it wasn't for me. I'm saying it wasn't for me. I'm just saying I It hasn't been yet Did you guys get to like the fourth or fifth episode because I remember season one like no push through if you get to like four or five It's it's really starts close to the first episode yeah yeah I'm with Billy on this so that's another one I got one for you okay Peyton's places I'm getting to it I've never given it a try they're really on a downward trajectory with these places they've run out of places

John McEnroe's places down like yeah where's he going he's talking now he's breaking down I think it's like breaking McEnroe's places down. I'm like, ugh. Yeah. Where's he going? He's talking, no, he's breaking down. I think it's like breaking down tennis athletes, right? But isn't it going to a place and like experiencing it? Isn't that what it used to be? Like what Peyton would go at Chicago? What's the one that Kobe did too? Like what's- Detail?

Maybe that's what McEnroe's doing. Detail, I don't know. I shouldn't have said anything. Detail was the most boring film session ever. Like it's accurate. I remember- The concept is cool. Like cool like execution was taking people behind the scenes But I was like, you know, this this is you guys are seeing the thrill of NBA video sessions. It's not why everybody hates them Yeah, I love Billy's wife is TV commissioner in the house though a hundred percent. Yeah
