Now streaming on Paramount Plus. Name's Conrad Harrigan, family man. And if you cross my family, well, you'd better pray. From the underworld of Guy Ritchie. We shake the right hands, break the wrong ones. Comes the next great crime series. And when someone forgets their place, I've got a man for that.

For himself. Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren. We've got everyone where we want them. Mob Lad, new series now streaming on Paramount+. I've loved today. It felt strange. Thank you guys for a small group, small room. We've never all worked together, just this, the five of us. So thank you for coming in, Roy. Thank you. We had some sickness, we had some issues. I appreciate that you came in. I believe you got the call at 640.

I did. Roy Roy. So thank you for that. Totally prepared to have the day off. Thank you. And I'm, we're trying to do it. Wait, Roy, you found out at 640 you had to come in today? Yeah.

Oh my God. MVP. How did you get here? Well, at first I had to take a shower. That was the first thing I had to do. And then I had to sprint over here. I am so impressed by the fact that you were here before 9.45. So am I.

Given the drive from Broward County. I'm thankful and Jeremy and Jessica, thank you for having, putting up with me for a full day like this. It was great. I know it's gotta be your worst nightmare. No, not at all. I learned so much about baseball contracts.

I was gonna text everyone at the end of the show, Billy, I'm, whatever Billy, thank you. So I was gonna text at the end of the show. Billy, I'm, whatever Billy, thank you. So I was gonna text at the end of the show. What did Billy do today? He's, I've been taking L's. I walked in and someone said to me, you're a pessimist. And I was like, oh thanks, good morning, geez. I mean. I found you today.

Not to be obstructionist, Billy, but I didn't feel like I had you. Really? I felt like you were a little tired, a little blase. Really? A little disinterested. Oh, I don't think so. Maybe even uninterested.

No, I don't. But I enjoy you anyway. There's behind the scenes controversy that's being sorted out. Yeah, that's true. Billy's been dealing with a headache. Sadness. Lots of sadness.

I think that you gotta know that things that happen in the world of online polls and online voting There's gonna be some bad stuff that happens. Yeah, I learned don't trust the people that you wanted to do a solid for ever And I never again will trust you fans never say never but fans you I love you all Billy your scoundrels, you know when you put fans when people oh, the fans are gonna choose the nickname of the team. Yeah. They do that and you tell, you know they're joking. Like it doesn't, the fans really don't get to choose that.

Yeah, because every time they choose Bodie McBoatface. So when you said fans will choose the winner of your tournament, you didn't really mean that, did you? Well, if we ever do an oral history on the show, we can get to the bottom of what happened here. Once the guys comes back. You're gonna, oof. This film was an adventure, this tournament.

I wanna end today by talking about an issue of cheating, since that's what we're talking about. And I think I'm guilty of it. It turns out that there are ways now that people cheat on text that I was not aware of. This is a new thing. If you use the wrong emoji at the wrong time, it can be considered by your significant other as cheating.

And I'm a red heart sender. And apparently when you send a red heart, you are cheating on your significant other. Well, what if you send a blue heart? Different? Apparently there's different colors. And purple heart means something. Please someone help me. Apparently there's different colors.

I'll start with saying this. Majority of emojis are sort of seen as blase these days. The cool kids aren't sending them. In other words. So what are they doing? No emojis? No, no motion. I was in words They just came out with the bags under the eyes of Mochi tell me I I'm not a young person. I don't know. Do you use emojis occasionally? Yeah, I like the one that's the see-through face

I said now that's a good. What does that mean? It's just like I'm invisible right now But what does it meaning? I don't want to hear mean? It's just like, I'm invisible right now. But what does it mean? I don't wanna hear it, meaning stop texting me. Meaning like, I'm not gonna say anything, no comment, I'm not here, I'm invisible, but I am here, cause I'm sending you an emoji. Or I'm cringing so hard that I don't wanna see

what's happening right now. I find it all confusing. That one is the covering the eyes emoji. Oh, that's the covering the eyes, not the invisible face, that's on me. My view is this, that I don't like when I text people and they don't respond. And a respond can be a thumbs up, I don't get offended,

it can be a heart, it can be a K. How do you feel about a reaction? Would you, do you need it to be a? A reaction's fine too. You're good with someone liking the text or loving the text. Because here's why, I want to get it off my list. I need to make sure that the people I sent the text to have gotten the text, read the text,

and understood the text. I feel similarly. If I'm sending a text to you that I know I need you to read, if you haven't at least reacted to it in some sort of capacity, it'll still be in my head that I need to follow up with you. And maybe you've seen it and moved on, and I'm guilty of this. I'm someone that will see a text and then think like,

oh yeah, I need to get back to them, but I'm in the middle of doing this thing and then I'll completely forget about it and still have received the information I was supposed to receive, reacted accordingly but then didn't respond to the text and I always feel bad about it. I think what we learned today is that there's a lot of misunderstandings that can happen with language and a lot of things that go wrong and now there's a bigger language that we're all supposed to learn. It's the text language, it's the emoji language, it's the way we communicate.

And I think that giving people a benefit of a doubt may be okay. I think that the emojis are probably not as much of the issue as the secrecy behind the conversations that include the emojis would be my assumption if we're talking about micro cheating. If I'm sending a red heart to you, it doesn't mean that we're having an affair.

No, of course it doesn't. But the context matters to all of it. It means thank you, it means I appreciate you. Okay, but red heart, eggplant, little like, little moisture wicking emoji. Yeah. Are you sending that to anyone? No, because I don't even know what that means.

Well, maybe you should learn. What if you wanted to like, to have a meal with eggplant? Would you send an eggplant emoji? No. OK. I don't send eggplant emojis. Really? I have no idea.

What about the peach emoji? Would you ever send that one? No, didn't know even though that existed. Hold on a second. I'm just catching up here. Is the eggplant emoji for a penis? No. Oh, then I missed it.

It's just if you want. It's like, you're cool, and you send an eggplant emoji. All right. I will send you. Oh, then I missed it. It's just if you want. It's like you're cool and you send an eggplant emoji. All right. I will send you some from now on. If you put cheese next to it. If someone asks you a question. Yeah. I have a feeling I don't believe any of you.

You got it. Send them an eggplant emoji. It's like the most professional way to go about it. So, you know, if an executive reaches out to you, just respond with that eggplant emoji. Oh, because of the holes. I get it. I feel like that you're all putting him in position

to look foolish when it comes to emojis, so I shan't be using an eggplant emoji ever. Sound like an eggplant peach question mark. Yeah. That sounds sexual to me. Red heart. No, what? Dinner and dessert. It's not. All right, now I'm gonna be forced to look.

Right now after the show, which is right now. Thank you guys.
