Welcome back to the big thing, everybody. It's Thursday. And you saw it. The question is out. June, will it make a billion dollars? That's the question. And why would you even ask that question, considering that I didn't think it was going to happen?

A hype is just so real on this movie. Can it happen in a pretty busy March? It's not even summertime season yet. People are in school. It's a three-hour film. Can it happen? We're going to talk about that. I'm going to talk about some TV.

today. Shogun is really making its way, making its rounds, but it hasn't made the Roxy rounds. I don't think that's one of the shows she's going to be covering yet because she hasn't seen it. But she has other things we're going to talk about and other things in the world of TV. And we'll find out if that guy called her yet. Did the guy call her back? We're going to find that out more. Brett saw a brand new documentary on Hulu that he's very excited to tell people about. So that's also going to be fun.

And I think that's a majority of it, man. So hit that button right there, subscribe to the channel. Why? Because you'll get us closer to 200,000. We are currently at around 131,000. And we can get to 200 if you click that button. If you're fan of the UAP show, well, then you're going to be a fan of the fact that we're launching a new channel. UAP news.

And that's going to be daily, five or actually, I had no idea, five or ten minutes long every day. And you guys can join. And it's called Down to Earth with Christian Harlow. And it's on. You can get it right now. You can get it right now. There's no stuff on there yet. But it's coming up.

So that and more on today's show, everybody. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, anywhere podcasts are found. Flatel-Dietel and a sheetle teets coming in hot. Here we go. One of these days, I'll hit the right button. No, I won't. What do you ever have mutton chops? what our mutton chops.

No one knows. Go eat it. All right, here we go. Everybody. Into the microphone. Me. Roxy. Brett.

Us. What you got the stink face for? I don't like being the last to know about anything. Well, Brett didn't know about it either, I don't think. I don't know any of that. You didn't know about the channel. Do you imitate me? No.

It was just very, my daughter's like that. No. Oh, she did? that now? Yeah. Yeah. She just got braces. Oh, no. That means no. I don't know. I say, oh, no. I don't see you enough anymore for you to dick on me. Yeah, what's going on here, people?

If you're going to dick on me, you got to see me all the time. Yeah. I don't like the way of phrase. I was going to say, I don't think dick on me is a good, especially after last week's episode. You know what I meant, though, right? I know what you meant. Don't be a dick. Don't be a dick. Put my dick on me. You know, it's hilarious. I can't do that because I haven't seen you know. I know it's hilarious is that last week, for the majority, people thought it was the funniest moment ever. I didn't actually look at the comments.

There was one comment, though, just like, I don't think it's that funny. That's harassment in the workplace. I was harassing him or who? No, we were by goofing around. It's like, yeah, I was like laughing and going for it and going with the joke. And it's like, this is the problem with today. Oh, you two were harassing me. At first, I'm just like, well, this is your boss.

I can confirm. I'm very harassed by it. Ken Conver. I've been meeting to talk to you guys all week about. Make a public thing right here. It felt like an awesome power's moment. It was an awesome person. And it was like if you ever had a big brother, little sister moment, it was right in that moment.

It was like, it was just kind of the teasing. Like, what are you doing? What are you doing? And there's nothing I could have done that didn't make it look sexual. The more I tried to not. It was hilarious. What you didn't do is grab the back of my head. Right.

But it's one thing of Roxy was like, guys. Guys, it's not funny. That's not funny, and it wouldn't even made the air. No. And I'm like, that's the problem. Yeah, that's a good point. It wasn't live. No, it wasn't alive.

And that's the problem with like today. It's everyone's just like, if she doesn't say, I'm offended. And it's like everybody, like, this is the problem with today. Everyone gets offended by everything. And it's like you can't even joke anymore. And I don't know, we don't get the whole thing with like the Shane Gillis Saturday Night Live, right? Did you guys? Yeah.

So the- What did you think of the opening monologue? I didn't watch the whole monologue, but I watched some of the whole monologue. of the sketches. I'm going to, I still have the thing. I haven't watched the monologue yet, but the sketches I thought were funny. I have thoughts. Okay, but... You want to talk about it? You can talk about it, but sure. You can talk about it, let's talk about it.

But my thing is that whether or not you... And we've had this conversation on Collider Live a billion times. My thing is that you're allowed to be offended of whatever you want to be offended by. Comedians to me are allowed to take shots and are allowed to joke and I know

I don't share the same of views with everybody. And I think that, you know, you also have to realize as a comedian, that you're going to take swings that if you're lucky, a majority of people is going to think funny because you're never going to get everyone. But if you're lucky, you're going to get a majority. So that way the majority is like, oh, be quiet to the ones who don't think it's funny. But when it's really not funny and the majority thinks you're not funny, well, then you're telling jokes that just aren't working.

Let's just talk about it for two things. Number one about this situation. What were you guys supposed to do when I got under the table? When the camera went there? What was, so were you guys supposed to panic and go, oh, oh, oh, or not errant? Oh my goodness. To make it look like something actually nefarious was happening? Like, what were your guys' option to that moment?

I think it was more or less like just kind of, it was like, oh, Roxy's trying to like, or not even bring attention to it. It's like we're fucking comedians. But it looks like, we all saw what it looked like. Right. You did too. You went with it more than empty. That's what drove me nuts. But it was such a, it was one comment.

Right, I know, but I just, I'm curious those people who, because there's always a comment, two comments, three comments, what were you supposed to do? What would make them happy? Not laugh, not say anything about it, not go in that direction. It's just like, what we did. And we did go in that direction because it was, it was funny. And it looked. Yeah, it's just a weird. If you go back, it looks really bad.

And it's hilarious. I think it would have looked worse. If you guys have been like, it's fine, everything she's doing is fine. It's okay. Or just not acknowledged it. It's like I would have gotten shit from comedian friends. You're kind of doing that like trying to get that last inch to grab it too. So you were kind of like jerking forward.

It's because my my core was tangled. But you started losing it laughing your ass off. I saw, I knew exactly what was happening. But I wasn't going to give up. Right. Because I don't quit. And you can't start a job. You don't finish.

I needed to. How dare you bring that back? How dear you? You're trying to get us in trouble? You're trying to get us in trouble? So that, I just don't understand what people are expecting, but okay, or with that person. And then in terms of the Shane Gill's situation, is that how you say his name? I think so.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Because I obviously remember about him being fired and the whole situation that took place or whatever. I thought it was pretty cool that he's going back because, you know, people grow and situations change and opinions, whatever. It's the same way that I thought it was cool. whatever. Was it a gun who got rehired by?

Right. Right. Like, you know, sometimes things happen. So I thought it was cool. I watched the opening monologue. I thought it was pretty funny. Yeah. I had no idea how unfunny the rest of the world thought it was at first. Oh, really?

Because I watched it without looking at anybody's response to it. I just watched a lie. I saw a lot of people say the opposite. I think it's a battle again. But it was it was balzy and he's definitely not a PC comic at all. Neither is Bill Burr, who's one of my favorite. He kind of reminds me of Bill Burr sometimes. But I don't know this guy's comedy well enough to know where his heart is.

I just know that I thought that some of the jokes were really risky and very funny. It didn't. So my thing is when he got fired for his joke and I think what, you know, there's a lot of jokes that they told on a podcast a while ago. There are a lot of jokes that people tell whether it's comedians at a club. Well, he's a slur. Right. And that's not funny. But hanging out with a bunch of comedians and stuff too, right?

But I'm just saying hanging out with a bunch of comedians and people and we all know. and not even comedians. You've been home back with friends and people tell jokes are off color and things too. And, you know, there are certain people that tell the jokes and they're telling funny jokes

and you go, it was funny. You probably couldn't get away with that on a stage or other too. And it's also, you say, but the question is, is there hate in the person's heart when they're telling it? I don't believe.

I don't believe that there is. But the other question I had when I was talking, I think I was talking to somebody off air about this with him. Let me ask you, and I don't know the answer to it. And maybe people will answer

in the comments. What's a difference we, between him and Eminem in like 2000 with the stuff that Eminem would say in his songs. Because he would talk about anti-gay stuff. He'd say, women's talking about me. Is your point that the difference is that it was 2000? I'm just, no. I'm just asking what's the difference.

It's why Gen Z hates Eminem. I mean, it destroyed him. Oh, they destroyed him. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like every lyric, everything he said about Kim. Like, you have shredded completely destroyed him. There was like a huge online debate between. Gen Z and Millennials because to me Eminem is the greatest rapper alive.

I know that takes all of my credibility away from me. Everybody said that makes me so uncool. I love him. I've heard a lot of people say that. I think he is just truly amazing. I probably put Jay-Z there first, but then he's right there. Jay-Z's awesome too. For me, it was always Eminem and Kanye West.

Kanye's done some things in the recent history that have made me not want to listen to his music as much. Like what? Did you spit out You spin out You're bumbling, man How are we going to get them to sponsor us When you spit them out It's like making gargling noise

It's still in your throat You good? I hadn't heard He said he was a fan of Hitler Oh, he did Oh! He wanted to name his album, Hitler He did a lot of stuff

To a lot of people Do you want me keep going? I could keep going But okay. So Kanye's no good anymore. They've been adding him to a lot of festival lineups actually. He's just, yeah. He got him.

He wrote an apology in Hebrew, though. Oh, well, that makes up here. He's back, baby. Kanye's back, folks. Pauldry in Hebrew. Yeah. That's like even more offensive than just writing. Apology?

Not in Hebrew. Yeah, most Jews couldn't read it. Jibberish? Yeah. Was it even actually? No, it was Hebrew. He actually was? He had somebody obviously translated.

Did it for him. Yeah. Anyway, so I love Eminem, but Gen Z, like, hates him, huh? Has tried to cancel over and over. And obviously, I'm speaking in generalization here, but they hate him. Right. So I would say that they would say there is no difference.

Oh, okay. But for me, I also believe there is no difference because I thought that it was funny and I like it. Maybe that's what, maybe you summed it up though. Maybe you really just summed it up is that it's just a generational thing. Yeah. Because when it comes to certain, like, I also come from the comedy background. Like we've been in comedy clubs, you know, you and I through when we met that people said way worse stuff than what this guy's been saying. It was almost like you were trying to get the comedians.

in the back of the room to laugh more than the audience. Dude, the comedy store, the comedy store when I was, like, when it was in, like, 2002, 2004, there were some people that was, I told you, and I told you, this again, I saw it get blown on stage. Oh, that's right. Blown on stage.

Like, I didn't tell you this story? What? Yeah, there's this, there was this, oh, there was it me? Did they drop a, no, no, no. There was an, there was this, this woman who used to be on Howard Stern. She was this older, no, this older porn star.

Her name was Blue Iris. Oh, yeah. And she would talk like this. She's now passed on, but she was there and the guy, Scary Perry, the guy who did that movie, Windy City Heat. And there was this whole entire freaking thing. So Scary Perry's on stage. Scary Perry was with Don Barris and other things. And I don't know how it happened.

I don't know how it happened. But it was after the things were like closing down. And I've told this story before. I haven't heard it. So basically, I think it was around two in the morning and the club was everybody pretty much the regular audience left. But all the comics were there. I really don't remember how it happened. But like she was up there.

And the next thing you know, she starts blowing him on stage. And I physically got ill. And I ran into the toilet. And I started like, like I couldn't. And my... Was any of the public there? I really don't think so. I think it was the majority of just comedians,

but I remember at least 30 people in the room. Jesus. And it was a very different management, different thing. But management, even back then, would have been like, what the fuck? But... As part of an act? I don't know what happened.

Yeah. So everyone was on stage, and the next one thing led to another, and that happened. I ran back and I was kind of hocking into the toilet. And Dave Taylor, another comedian, who is another guy that was just ruthless on stage, right? But anyway, all I remember is him standing over me, not checking on me, going, puking. Harloff is puking. And laughing is fucking ass off.

And then the next night, I remember her being in the crowd and me kind of roasting her and getting a lot of laughs out of it. That was a packed audience. And you said what she did? in a certain yeah kind of kind of and people were like well obviously it wasn't a secret there was a room full but it was yeah but it's different

hearing it from the night before and again 2002 2003 whenever it was as opposed to today and different generation because like that and that's just a really crazy fucking thing but things that were said in the room and I remember like just certain things that were said

that people I don't think people today's audience would be able to take half the shit that was said back that that's like if you have kids you got to start telling them racist jokes from the beginning. So they can... Right? No? Just from the...

What do they call? Generation... Generation cancel? Gen Z? Gen Z, right. I don't think... No, we're not Gen Z. I don't think we're Gen Z anymore.

No, you're not. No. No, I'm a millennial. My daughter was saying something about that she's Gen Alpha or something. It's like 16 to 25 is Gen Z. This is how I know that I'm officially old.

grandpa now. I don't care. I don't care. Gen Z, Gen X, Gen Y. I don't care. I do. I care. The Shane thing, I will say that he says gay and makes like a joke and then he uses the R word and it was like, this is interesting that S&L is, that he was canceled for slur.

I think they're trying to push in a different direction now. I am curious about it, but I did think it was funny. and then I was informed very quickly by my phone that many people did not think it was funny. That's had in your life? Just, no. Hollywood reporter dead, like all the articles started coming in, like falls flat and nobody. They said it fell flat or they said that it was to a silent room and I didn't feel like it was silent. I heard a lot of laughter.

I'm going to watch it because I'll tell you why. Because I don't take any merit when it comes to those publications judging comedians because it's the same thing. You can predict what they're going to say about the comedian before the comedian even says a word because that's when the politicized portion of it comes. There's like there is certain things where you're just going to get, well, wait a minute. They said, because even if they thought it was funny in the same way that there's these freaking hate channels on YouTube that you know that if they're doing, you know, videos about a certain property months before it comes out or a movie, you know that even if they liked it, they're not going to tell you that they like it. They can't. And I feel it's the same way that imagine that someone writing for the Hollywood Reporter is, like, thought it was hilarious and all the stuff that he said.

Oh, yeah, they couldn't. They never would be able to. And it also wasn't hilarious. I'm just saying, but imagine they thought that. Yeah, I think we're living, this is not the show fully for this, so I'll cut it quickly, but we are living in such a fucked up time. We are just living in such a fucked up time when the internet response to that is like just horrific, never he should.

never work again. We hate him. That was horrible. And then the internet response to some other things that people are doing is like making them martyrs. And I'm just like, I don't understand what I don't understand 2024. I don't understand what we're teaching to like what is a good thing to do and what's not. I've never felt more out of touch with the world about what is funny, what is not, what is good, what is evil. I don't pay attention to it. I never pay attention on social media because I don't care what people think. If I think it's funny and I'll tell you what, Shane Gillis is going to make hand of a fist on this. He really helped his career.

Yeah. Helped out his career tremendously. I didn't know. I forgot about him. I didn't, I haven't. He's on Rogan all the time. He's on.

Do you know what I found out this week? Go ahead. Rogan went to Newton's South High School, which is where I went. That's where you went, huh? Oh, cool. Okay. I'm not a big roken girl, but that was interesting.

Can I ask you who Roakin is? Roakin? Al Roakin. That's how you say in Newton. Al Roakin? Yeah. No. Al Roken?

Yeah. We're talking about Al Roken, right? Yeah, John Roken, Sam Roken, Billy Roken. No, Rogan went to Newton South, as did a lot of different people, B.J. Novak, John Krasinski, Matt Blanc went to North. Louis K. went to South, which is another... Just Joe Rogan and Louis C.K. going to South is an interesting... Comedians. Two funny comedians.

Yeah, at my public high school. Yeah. Well, that's the way to start the show. Let's start there. Thoughts? Go ahead. I'm sure we're going to have a blast in the comments on that one. Okay. So, you know, we'll move on in a second. Roxy, did the dude call back?

You know what's so funny when you were giving the intro? You forgot about it? I was like, want dude? And then, no, of course he didn't. No, of course he didn't. Well, of course not if he said, what dude? Because that's how, the mindset I have to have, which is just on to the next. Until somebody wants me and is a good fit for me, I just can't give them any more thought.

Like, a lot of my friends are like, why don't. you call him and it's like, I texted on his birthday. You didn't enough. I agree. If he doesn't, if he wanted me, I'd know. He doesn't. You're right. That's a mature way to look at it, to be honest with you.

The other thing I was going to ask you is, did you watch any of that wrestling? No, I didn't. Oh, you know, I was thinking, you know, if you actually got into wrestling, if you did the, like, orange hair, I think you could, you could pull off Becky Lynch. Really? Yeah, I think so. Cool. Yeah, she's, and Becky Lynch had a good elimination chamber.

You know who did watch it? The Elimination Chamber? My 6-year-old. Oh, she watched the whole thing with me. It was amazing. Did I tell you the great line that she did recently? Oh, this is, and I haven't told this on air yet. Was this in Australia or this is?

Yeah, okay. So Elimination Chamber was over last weekend, and my wife and my oldest went away for the night, and I just hung out with my 6-year-old, and we watched Elimination Chamber. And we watched it in intervals because it was like a four-hour thing. Yeah, I know. So we watched it, and then her room was like a big mess. Right? After?

No, just in general. It had been messy. She took a lot of her things out. I was like, you know what? I'm going to help her clean it up because my wife's going to get home soon. And so I just wound up cleaning it up, throwing the Barbies on the side and doing this. And my daughter walks in and she goes, whoa, dad, who cleaned my room? And I go, magic.

Oh. And she looks around and she goes, magic did a pretty bad job. Oh. And I started dying laughing. Did you do a bad joke? Yeah, it wasn't great. But she said that. And then I said to her, I said, Masey, you told me that you were going to, you were going to do that if I did this and whatever it was.

And she goes, the past is the pest. She said that in the last. She's like a little philosopher. The other thing she said to me, which was more hilarious, I was like, I was like, honey, we got to, you're supposed to put your shoes on. Remember you've been listening today. It's great. And she goes, what I told you, Dad? I go, what?

She just never trust the child. Like, well, how do you, because you still have to be a parent in those moments. How do you not just lose it? It's tough. I walk to the side. I walk to the side, start laughing because her timing is out of control. She knows that she's got you. Easily.

Yeah, she knows. As long as she's making a joke or saying something that will make you laugh. She knows she's got dad. Her timing on that with the room of the... I thought she was going to say something like profound. Yeah, yeah. She's like, I mean magic. Magic did a bad job.

And I was like, that is fucking hilarious. Do you think she's going to be a comedian? I think she could be. Her timing's really good. Like, her timing is really good. How would you feel about it if she decided to be a comedian? Right now? At six?

No. No, probably. Probably not. No, I don't know. It's not the... Especially after what we were just talking about. What is it? I don't like comedians are...

Not in this climate. Back in the day, six-year-olds could be comedians. And say whatever they want. Yeah. What do you do? You put them in improv or whatever? Like, how do you feed a comedian? Like, for me, when I wanted to be an actress, I started taking classes at three.

You abused them. Right? A lot of abuse and depression. A lot of comedians come from abuse. Not me. Mine was more depression-based. Hey, you know who's a... Speaking of wrestling, I heard John Sina on the Howard Stern program.

How'd that go? He is, like, just seems like a lovely, lovely man. He does. And he's got, he is very well-spoken and positive. Also, Massachusetts. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah, mass guy.

Yeah. See, there you go. There you go. Howard Stern on John Cena. But John Sina, Howard's turn. Perfect. One thing about Massachusetts, if you're from there, I know. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, not apparently. Joe. Al Roken? Yeah. Brett, before I move on to our sponsors, will you tell us about that, the doc that you watched on Hulu? Oh, yeah. Well, you know, the, like, cult docs are big right now.

I've seen a few of them. I saw that love is one. Did you see that one yet? About the one. That one's goofy as hell. This one takes it to a whole other level. This one, it's called the cult of personality, and it's actually that that song, no, that song was based on a real cult. That was around in the 50s, actually.

And this was, you know, there's not a lot of, you know, documentation other than, you know, like... What's the whipping scene you're telling me about? It's, well, that was a part of it is one of the rooms they would have. And when you would have to expel, you know, whatever demons you had inside of you, they would, they would whip you. And, you know, like with any documentary, about any cult, it was a lot about, you know, just sleep deprivation, a lot of drug use. And it was just... But I didn't understand, you told me about this, but they, like, so they took seven people with... like hats on and just kicked soccer balls at them.

Yeah, yeah. You know, and it's, it was about bringing out, you know, the different, you there, you, id, the ego and the super ego, you know, the cult of personality. So that's what they were trying to. And each ball had a letter on it? Yeah, yeah. They were trying to draw out those personalities. I see.

What were the possible personalities? Um, well, you know, there was, you know, the comedian was one of them. They wanted, they wanted, so the representation of every kind of a thing. You know, there was, uh, the grocery shopper. The grocery. Yeah, shit. We got as far as we could. I think that's how the bitch should go.

The bitch should go until he can't do it. Have you seen the love is one one? No. I couldn't tell whether I was part of it. No. That one is real. And it was this woman. Love is one.

Love has one. And she was the mother god is what she called herself. And the documentary starts out like you're hooked from the beginning of the scene. I don't want to say what happens at the beginning. But like, so apparently she is like channeling all these spirits. One of the main ones she's channeling is Robin Williams is one of his, her deities. And then there's all these other deities. And there's this cool person's like, yeah, you can see it's St. Germain.

And Robin Williams are two of the top ones. And then everybody on here is dead. Well, except Donald Trump is one of them, one of the deities, which isn't dead, obviously. She has a mental illness and she thinks that she or she says these people are coming through her or what? Yeah, they're speaking through her. And this is one thing, Roxy, you wouldn't understand. This is, I'm a cult member. When the mother god, you know, it appears to the normal person that she's taking a nap, but she's actually in a meeting with the deities.

They did not hide the fact that these people were taking a lot of acid. Where do you get, where do you see this thing? I think this was Netflix or who. I mean, it's one of the mainststs. streaming ones. Love has one. Why is it called Love Has Won? Like W-O-N? Yeah, yeah. Love is won. I guess it won. How did it win?

Well, we get to watch the show. And if you want to see people, like, we watched it. I think it's three or four episodes. My wife and I watched it. It was just people just talking in circles and you're like, I don't know what, like, what was she selling to these people? Because they just, you know, and it's just about the feeling of things. And then, you know, if you feel, then you begin to also know what you feel inside. And you're just going like, how did she hook these people? They were obviously, it is.

Links is in the description, always pinned up top. I want. Which one do you want both? Yeah. Okay. Did I specify? No, I want. No, you said you want.

I want. Just so anybody who's looking for Brett's show doesn't actually think it's fake. It's not Netflix. It's Max. Yep. Oh, perfect. Okay. Which at first I thought I was going to tell you was Cinemax, but no.

Right. Cinnamon. It's HBO Max because they want to make it. You ever mean a stripper named Cinnamon? I have. Have you? Yeah. Oh, I bet.

I think that's true. What is the most common stripper name? In Waverly, Nebraska at a place called Shakers. Is that? You remember? Yeah. The name was cinnamon. Oh, see?

Look at that. She left lasting in Brazil. Oh, she did. Did she? Yeah. I mean, this was just a bikini bar kind of thing. too or whatever, but we'd go there in college. Cinnamon's such a

cute name. Isn't it? Okay. You know, every time somebody hears my name is Roxy it's one of two things, either my dog's named Roxy or that's a prostitute name. Sorry, sex worker name. Oh, really? Yeah. Do you know what I also found out, speaking of problematic? Do you know, like, I didn't realize how many articles have been written

that pretty woman is problematic? Hmm. What's the problematic part? Oh, God, it's... You brought it up. I know. No, no, not it. Oh, God. There's a lot of it. It's just like one of the main things. I haven't seen in a while, so I have to.

That it assumes that all prostitutes want to be saved. Oh. That it glorifies prostitution at one point, that she needs a man to save her in order to get off the street. That they all look like her. I remember loving that movie. It's fantastic. It's one of the best for men of comedies of all times still. Anyway, let's talk about one of the greatest science fiction movies.

of all time. I'll say it. I don't want to talk to you. You got it. I don't want to talk to you. Well, then you're on my show. I'm so bitter. No, that's not my fault. I would have invited you. When are I going to see this? That's what I was going to ask you on the air is that I want to see do you want, I mean, I don't think I'll be able to see it. I'm so entitled and bitter. I know. I won't be able to see it on Friday. But I will be, though. Zibitla? I will be able to see it with you next week if you want. Next week. Yeah. Are you going to go see it? this weekend? Maybe Sunday. Okay.

I don't know, but if I don't. If you don't, then maybe we can go. If you see it in time, maybe we can all go. Yeah. See it together. Three of us. You still didn't do the first one? No. We have not been watching

anything, which is weird. Like, we've been doing a lot of what they call the sexy librarian. Oh, what's that mean? Where my wife reads books and I fall asleep. I stole that from a mean. Yeah. All right. Well, yeah, she's been reading

a lot. She reads to you? No, she just reads. Like Rocky and Adrian. I go, Are you done reading? And then I fall asleep waiting for her to finish her book. She never does. Yeah, it's... So she does it not. She really likes dressed out at work. And then I don't like to watch stuff without her because that's kind of the only, you know, that's the thing we do. So we either

watch something or we don't. Well, you got to watch it soon because we're going to go see it. So your wife's got to step up. We're trying to get the kids to watch it with us. Okay, well, look, we're not going to put up with this. Yeah. Yeah. So you got to go see it because we're probably going to see part two next week. I can't put over your shit anymore.

I know. You're stressed out wife who doesn't want to prioritize watching Dune. Yeah, I know. Or whatever the hell is she thinks is so important. She's so. Over her job and her children. I mean, come on. Get your priorities.

Hey, did you guys know I'm turning 50 on Sunday? Is it this Sunday? You're not doing a big thing for it? Yeah. It's 50. I didn't. I knew, I know your birthday. And I know your birthday not because I just know Kate's birthday.

I just know your birthday, but I didn't know it was 50. Yeah. What day is that? That's a Sunday. It's a shitty birthday. So you're not going to do anything? No. Well, that's stupid.

Yeah, I just, I don't know. I tell you this much. I'm, I will say that I'm probably the happiest in life that I have been in a long time. I feel like, you know, I've dialed in whatever medication I have. I've done with therapy and things like that. I am. So having a big thing is, the big thing for me is that I'm feeling really good about life. I love that.

I think that's mature. Why do you think? It's bullshit. Because of therapy? Yeah, just I think therapy and medication, you know, which is not as I was on some pretty heavy duty stuff that like just numbed me out kind of. And this is more, this is lighter and this is, I'm not taking anti-anx anxiety type stuff anymore like Xanax, which would just like, you know.

What do you want for 50? For 50? I'm, well, I'm just, I mean, PlayStation. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just, I'm just happy that, you know, my, my kids are doing well in school. I love my life, and I love my wife, and I love my family, and I'm just, I don't know, I'm just been feeling really

up. More the same, you just want it. Yeah, I don't continue, you don't want it to change. And I'm enjoying the job at aboveboard TV, you know, like it's, it's... Did you mention this show once, did he, right? Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, I get to do this occasionally. No, no, I do enjoy this show. I wish I could do a little bit more like we had planned, you know, so that's why I'm trying to, we're talking about

doing earlier things and stuff like that. But like, well, when we first, look, things are, it's the same, it's the same, carrying over what Brett just said. Things are definitely better now than they were. Like, people know about that whole, the cast debacle that have we, we were one of the shows that. What are you guys talking about? You don't remember cast?

Remember that company cast? Oh, oh, oh, I thought you were saying it a mess. No, cast. That whole, it set us back tremendously, tremendously, but. I know I was supposed to be here two days a week, too. I show you, Brett. But we've picked it up. So hopefully things are,

and that's why another reason why I'm starting this channel. I have good, yeah. Can we talk about it? Let's talk about Dune first. Yeah. Let's talk about Dune first, and then we'll talk about the channel. Okay, I want to go back to Brett's 50th.

I want to talk about this. And I don't want to talk about Dune. Tough. The whole point is people are going to be clicking on this. I know, I'm just so excited. I hear it's the best movie of all times. And that's what I, and that's kind of, it's my question is that because you're hearing it from everybody.

Everybody. So I'm nervous now. It's every person on talking to. And you're seeing it around too? Oh, yeah, yeah. Everybody loves it. It's not just loves it. It's saying it's like the greatest science fiction movie. I saw Koi say that this is his Star Wars.

Like he wanted to feel about Star Wars like he did about this. I mean, everybody's saying that the 98% of it has on Rotten Tomatoes is deserved. Like the hype around this. I don't think, I disagree with that. I think it's a hundred should be deserved. Wow. Yeah, like every person is like you can't overrate this movie. No.

So, I mean, it couldn't have higher expectations. Right. So the first one overall worldwide during the pandemic and with a day in release, right, meaning that it came out at max the same time it came out in the theater, did something like 435 or 440 million worldwide, right, which is decent for that time. Isn't this already 150 million tracking for like the first? That's what they think. They think 150 worldwide for the weekend, right? So 150, 160. So 80 for the weekend is a pretty damn good number. like Roka thought it was like 120, 1.30. That's tough to do. But the question is, can this movie hit a billion dollars? I still, and I've never, every time I say this, I never want to be more wrong than I am right now.

I just think a three-hour, dense science fiction movie is going to be hard to make a billion dollars. I think it makes like $6.50, maybe seven, which is a great number. I was definitely thinking that the time, you know, because of that that wouldn't, spans such a large audience. You know, I do believe that that, yeah, you're correct. And that I don't, this doesn't seem like it's, it's people are bringing their little ones to it and everybody's going to it. A billion dollars. Look, it's a lot of money.

Avatar made it. Avatar is a long movie. Avatar is got some heavy themes to it, the second one, right? Yeah. Made a billion dollars, but it's also. It doesn't have some, like, heavy themes. I would say it's a pretty light watch. Avatar, too?

I don't want to, I don't want to spoil it. I saw it. Yeah, there's some. There's some, like, I'm not going to air this. I'm not going to air this because I don't want to spoil it. Did you that see Avatar too? Yeah, you did. Yeah.

Like, being a parent, like when they lose their kid, like, that's fucking brutal. Oh, I just mean it's not difficult to understand. It's not, no, no, no, no. It's not sci-fi. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. More so with, like, heavy themes than not, not, not like just beating hard to understand. You definitely have to pay attention more in Dune than you.

Yeah, but it's not like, wait, wait, wait, hold on. No, no, no, no. Avatar, no, but Dune is, Dune too is for sure. And I think that I have seen people, even even Deneva said, you don't need to see the first one to see the second one. I don't necessarily think that's true. I think it elevates, I think the second one. How could that be possible?

Yeah, right? I don't think you necessarily would be lost watching it, but you definitely be like, who's that? Do we pick up where we leave off? Right, where we left off. So it's like, I know, I know, but it's, I don't necessarily agree with it. But the question is, can it make a billion dollars rock? I honestly feel like yes because of the conversation around it.

Like if you would ask me that six weeks ago or a month ago whenever before I heard anybody see it, I would have said, no, why would this make a billion dollars? Everybody's asking that question about every movie. But everybody's saying this is the greatest movie ever. Three hours though? Dense movies, science fiction. Okay, but the three hours is not deterring me because I've seen the, are you looking at the releases in the movie theaters? I mean, they're playing this in every theater 15 times a day.

But for how long? Because that's the other, my other point is competition. What's up? A lot of competition. You've got the stupidest thing I've seen is it's another Warner Brothers movie that's going to cannibalize it at the end of the month, and that's Kong and Godzilla. And that is one month away? That is the end of the month, the 20-something where this is March 1st.

Three weeks? Right, but it also, then you've got Kung Fu Panda, which is next week, which is not the same audience, different audience. Is that four? That's Kung Fu Panda, Four. Jesus. I've never seen a Kung Fu Panda. The first one was on heavy rotation when my kids were a little bit.

I don't think I ever saw the second or third. What is it? Jack Black? Jack Black. Angelina Jolie was in a lot of them. But there's a lot of different people. Is he a panda who does Kung Fu? Yes.

Yeah. You like it. You would think it's good. But then a movie you didn't like, but a lot of people did and it got a sequel was the new Ghostbusters movie's movie is also coming out. And that comes out in like two weeks. So you got Ghostbusters, you got Kung Fu Panda. You got Godzilla, some horror movie, imaginary.

Is this the second of the new ones? Did I miss the first? Okay. I wanted to see that first. You should see it. I watched it with my wife and my oldest. Talk about Ghostbuzzlers? Yeah.

Afterlife. I watched Ghostbusters afterlife with my oldest and my wife. And they loved it. And I loved it too. I remember walking to the theater with you and you were shocked how much I liked it. I thought it was, that little girl was so good.

And it had the perfect tone of what I wanted. And it introduced the kids' perfectly to now when you have more of the older ghost busters yeah so i think the point is that that's a movie that's going to do pretty well kong and godzilla is going to do pretty well kung fu panda so it's they're gonna they're gonna pick away at at dune so dune next week i think he's the only one is like this hard movie than that mark walberg movie this could be really silly commentary because i know that this doesn't have historical truth to it but the weather is crappy out.

And people go and see movies when the weather is sure crappy. It's been crappy here. It's been crappy back east. And this is one of the only things to do. To me, this is the time of year. Like, I know that summer is fun and people go to the movies, but when it is crap out on the East Coast, snowing, raining, whatever,

the only things you can do is go to the movies. The only counter that, I don't disagree with you, but the counter that I would have to that is that sometimes people, especially in the East Coast. Don't you want to leave their house? Because of the weather. Depending on what they're I know. I know. I know. And that's why the kids movies

do well during that time because like you'll leave for your kids but for yourself, you won't. It's one of those. Yeah, it could be could hurt it. I just think I don't know a person who this isn't on their radar now because y'all just don't shut up about how great it is. I mean, I think it's going to do way better than the first one, which we did

445 and I think that it's going to make it least I'd say I'm going to stick with I'll say 700. I don't think it's going to a billion. You think it could? I think it could. I hope it does. I hope this movie makes $2 billion.

This movie deserves to make all of the money. If you make $2 billion, would you be shocked? Yes. Of course I would. I'll be shocked if it makes a billion. I'll be happily shocked if it makes a billion dollars. Like I, like I said, I think that Deadpool has way more of a shot

to make a billion. Really? Than this movie does, yeah. Because it's a, it's, it just has a lot more going for it as far as now whether it's going to be better. I don't know if anything's going to be better than this movie. Might I dislike it?

What's that? Might I dislike it? This movie? Yeah. Did you love the first one? Yes. Then no. Okay.

No. There's no way. If you love the first one. And, okay, so what about somebody who didn't love the first one? What's funny about that is I saw it with Snyder, right? And Snyder did not like the first one. He really liked the second one. Okay.

I think the way that I look at is if you don't like the first one, you think the common thing, the common thing I hear from most people who didn't like it was they said it, was boring, which, okay, they said slow. The first one or second one? The first one is that they said it was slow. The way that I would tell is like, this one is definitely not slow. There's moments where it's kind of dialogue heavy and there, but there's some major, major moments.

And the other thing that you could make an argument that I say, I understand that, the first Dune just ends. It doesn't end with like a big thing. It just ends. It ends with a clear, this is part one. Yeah, I'm a dire TV fan, though, so that never bothered me. It never bothered you, right. So it didn't bother me either.

And it also is for me to say this is not, and we talked about this last week, this is really not a sequel as much of it as a part two, meaning that it's like a, it's just a, or rather, should I say it's not a sequel as much as it's a second half. It's a second half of a movie. What, don't, is there anything that you think was a problem with this movie? I don't know, man. I don't know. I've been listening to the freaking score on repeat as I want, right before you guys came in. I was listening to the score.

Any scene that you didn't like, any actor that you thought wasn't up to par, any visuals that you were like, they botched. No, so just across the board, straight tens. The first five out of five movie I've given, and I can't tell you how long.

It's, it's... If I don't like this movie, I'm going to flip a table. You're going to lose your mind. There's no way you're not going to like. If you love the, especially if you love the first movie,

now there was someone, so on our Patreon, and we do the one-on-one sessions, where I have like half an hour sessions, and I had a great conversation with this guy the other day, and he's a big June fan, book-wise. He loved the books. He said he didn't love part one.

He thought that the book, he didn't capture what he was looking for in the book, but he's going to see the movie because he's a big film nut, loves Deney, and he's going to go check it out. I'm so curious, like, his thoughts on it, because this is someone who read the books

and someone who's kind of comparing it, But then you look at Riley Riley is also a guy who read the book And loved it Oh the other thing I got a I keep saying the wrong book name for the next movie Last time I said Dune Legacy I said Dune prophecy

It's Dune Messiah I don't know why I came up all these different names People keep telling me someone's like I almost was gonna goof Because someone was like are you pranking us And I almost was gonna say something like Dune Kingdom Yeah because you know we can't correct No

No the next movie is Dune of the Parenthood. You know where I've just nonstop and seeing this because it's like usually I'm hearing it from my critic friends from Snyder from Koi from you from whoever I mean they must have invited a hundred TikTokers to this I saw that interview was embarrassing that interview is tough so did you see this no there was like it happens though I feel so bad because it does happen it does but what happened the problem is it's funny because I had this whole conversation

with Snyder and Simon Thompson actually at the Dune screening and they We're just talking about it because these, they're like, Snyder's a film reporter. Simon's an actual critic and a news, you know, he's a reporter as well. And he's like guys, these are like media, movie media guys. I'm not. I'm not. What are you? I think I'm just someone who talks about movies.

I've never, as long as you know me, have I ever considered myself a critic. Why can you get the invitation? Because there's a difference because I also am, because I still present my comments. conversations in a way that where I'm critiquing a movie and I'm seeing and because people are still watching my watching the reviews and I think that that shows a lot of me too I get so many no seriously on TikTok okay so yeah so when I was talking to Simon and Jeff and one of the when you basically know what happened with these influencers this this interview that happened um the guy asked this question to Timothy Shalamee and Austin Butler about

So when you guys are acting, because you guys have to be, because you seem like friends or whatever, I'm misquoting it, but it's something along the lines of you seem like friends, but then you've got to play like you're not. Like, how do you do that? And it's like, fucking actors, right? I thought Timothy gave a really gracious answer. I think he was pissed off, though. He looked annoyed. But he answered the question. So many times I've seen actors just refuse to answer or be like, that was not a good question.

He really did try. He said, like, you know, it's part of the problem. Like he did look annoyed, but he, I thought he did an excellent job pushing through. And what it is is that it's not that I don't think that if you've, look, if you've got an audience and the studio wants to invite you and they want to bring you to these things and they think that it's going to get exposure for your movie, fine. I get it. It's marketing. It's marketing. The problem is that a lot of good journalists and interviewers get left out because of it and because they don't have the audience that would have best.

conversations and better I think the junket interview should go the way of the dodo to be honest with you I think I think it's three minutes you can't get anything out of people I would much rather than a carpet It's much better than a carpet it's much better than carpet, but I think that like like and Call it selfish because it is I still think long-form interviews and half an hour to an hour Conversations you get way more out of people they get more comfortable with people not everybody can do it But it's one of this I don't even try anymore I don't even try I used to write to the studios all the time and ask like hey, I'm not getting approved for these things. I don't even try to junkets?

I don't, I'm not going to do junkets. That's what you're saying? No, I'm talking about trying to get people in for interviews. Like, because I've, you like, I've gotten, like, when I had, I was very proud of the interview I had with Diego Luna. I was very proud of the interview that I had with Andrea Rysboro and all the things. And you haven't been able to get people sent? I haven't really been trying as much because when I try to get, like, the bigger names, I know I'm going to get turned down. I know that if I was a TikToker that had $1.5 million, I probably would get them in here easier.

It's frustrating. Yeah. It's frustrating because also I don't want to sound like an old grouch. And I'm on TikTok and I have some friends who are stellar hosts that are on TikTok. But then there's some people that they're really good at 15 second content. Right. And that is. But this thing drives me nuts too, by the way.

The holding up the little microphone to interview people. Like the whole. That's attached to your shirt, you mean? Yeah. The shirt or like the little, like when they're, It's like these wires. Hey, guys, I'm here now. Oh, yeah.

And I'm going to interview so and so. I think that's so cute. I can't stand those little microphones. I love them. I hate them. I have one of those. It's awesome. It drives me nuts.

It was gifted to me by. Oh, no, he's not talking about the tiny microphone you use. He's talking about almost when you use, like, you've got the headset in and you lift up your. I'm talking about all of it. It just looks awkward. It's the road mic that has the thing. Yeah, but I just see people doing like TikTok videos. I mean, I mean, all of it.

I mean that and that. I just like when it's just like these little, I mean sometimes it's all you got. It's what you got to do. But I got a tiny pink microphone. But I think it bothers me less when you're by yourself. I think it bothers me less. But when you're interviewing a celebrity or you're interviewing someone on the movie and you've got this little thing and they're talking into this little thing, it looks, I think it looks not professional.

That's, that's me. Yeah. Times just are changing. The way that. It could be a grouchy grandfather. It used to be. If you brought a cell phone to a carpet, that was so unprofessional to film on your cell phone.

Right. And now... Everybody does. Right. Yeah. Well, because it's because of the TikTok generation. It's because of all that stuff. And because the camera quality and those tiny mics now,

like, you don't have as much of issue with the audio quality. You just think it looks weird. And it's like, if you can carry this little mic as opposed to... I know. But you know what's funny about that also is that clip that has like a million views or whatever it does now, that guy. The poor guy. I do feel bad for him.

No, he's just going to... Because what I read about it. him too he has no business being an interviewer he's on some show or something and he got he got put in there he doesn't know how to he doesn't know how to do it it's not and he didn't ask something that was mean no he didn't try to do gotcha news no it's just it's just but it seemed like a wasted spot like that's what you're asking and it's like it seems like if you were talking to your friend at home and you're like oh you can go interview whoever you want is somebody who doesn't pay attention to the industry or everything to like you ask him what of your wants I don't really

know what's about acting. How do you pretend that you're, that you guys are like, not friends? It's a Farley interviewing, you know. Remember when you're in the Beatles? Right, right. That's what it feels like. Yeah, I did. And so, but that's, whose fault is that? Is that his fault? No. Or is that the studio's fault? Or is it society's fault because it was a million

views. Yeah. Well, but we don't know if that's his normal. We love a dumpster fire. We don't know if that's his normal content. He's not posting those types of things. But don't you think the studio is stoked? I think the studio, that was my next point. The studio got a lot of publicity for that interview and people know what

what interview was that for? Dune. What interview? Dune 2. Oh, here today. That movie's coming out and then the conversation goes away from the guy who had the crappy interview to talk about oh it was for Dune. So they win. So the studio wins on that one. So that's maybe that the answer is at the end of it they

Love is win. Yeah they go right. The cult of mother God. Right. All right I'll give you a cult of mother God you want to go and get some Blue Choo, followed up by Tushy. Tushy's back, Brett. Oh, nice. Tusha LaRue.

I got introduced to the bidet a long time ago with Tushy. And, oh, it's, it is so, what an invention. What an invention. At first you sit down there, you want to feel classy?

You want to show some class? You show some class by getting the bidet on Europe. I'm not going to say it. I could have rhymed, but I didn't. It's, it's lovely. It's absolutely lovely. So let me tell you a little bit about it, because the next time you're sitting down on the toilet to squeeze out a big baseball bat,

I'll tell you what happens. little Tushy wants you to remember one thing. The time that you're spending scrolling on your phone, it's not giving you peace of mind. You know what it's giving you? Hemorrhoids. That's right. Men spend twice as long in the bathroom.

This is fact. I go into that bathroom sometimes for peace, but I end up sitting trying to get some business done. And it is the one leading cause of hemorrhoids. It's prolonged sitting on the toilet. That's right. If you wipe with toilet paper, it's only going to irritate your butt hole.

That's what it's going to do. The tushy, it cleans your butt with a targeted stream of fresh water, eliminating the need for painful wiping. So I really, really dig it. And it just feels, it feels, it just feels nice. Again, I feel, I feel, I'm not going to lie to you. I feel classy. That's the whole thing. So Tushy Biday cleans your, your butt two times better and gentler than wiping with toilet paper. For the rest of your life, you can leave the bathroom sooner feeling confident that your butt's actually clean. The bidet easily attaches to your existing toilet. You know how long it takes under 10 minutes, 10 minutes. It's going to say 20. It's not true. It took me about eight minutes.

Without additional plumbing or electricity needed. Every Hello Tushy bidet comes with a 30-day hassle-free return and a 12-month warranty. So stop wiping until you bleed. Come on.

First, do you want to talk about anything else? Well, there was two things. Oh, okay, go ahead. Starting with YOP. Oh, yeah. Well, that's not, that's going to be UAP News. We're going to do daily kind of news five to maybe 10 minutes, but maybe five, ten minutes, like, updates on the channel. Who?

Me? Just by example. Yeah, it's just like kind of like a, it's not like a, it's not like, a full-on show. It's just going to be, like, because the UAP Tuesday show stay in on the channel, stays here. It stays here. Yeah, stays here. So that other thing is just ever. It's just daily content to... Like this or like

this or what you're doing? No, it'll probably be like, it'll probably be like this with some clips and stuff over it. If there's some, like, the top new story of the day. I'm jealous. I'm just, watch it. I want to be part of it. Oh, well, maybe if there's a story that you think that's pretty cool, and you want to do something? Yeah, like about fashion

or shopping. Oh, man. Oh, boom. I just want to be clear about something. If there is a poser in the room, it's not me. How long have I been invested in aliens and shit? Oh, yeah, for sure. Like, this is my childhood. This is my life on that show.

But... I love shopping, too. I'm allowed. All right. So, yeah, so that launches probably sometime next week. Okay. Yeah, let me show you. I'll show you...

On Wednesdays, we should record an update together. If you want. Yeah. Why don't you want? I want everything. You can tack that on right at the end. Okay. Furthermore, going back to Brett for a second and before we move to TV.

Not. Oh, brother. Before I forget, I do have a, don't let me forget to show you a cool app for filming. That's a lot better. It's by black magic design. And it's like a full-fledged, like, looks like a camera. No, I mean, it's like a free app. And it'll make your stuff look a lot better.

And you can adjust, you know, F-stop and all that's, you know, yeah, it's really nice. All right. Let's do it. Let's do it. So, thank you for the folks over at Black Magic. It's not a sponsor. No. So do you want to ask your question?

Yes. It's more of a statement and I'm just going to spit it out. Not that you ask me and not that you care. I think that you should do something for your birthday. It's 50. Yeah. and you should be celebrated. It's a big deal.

Big deals cost money, though. No, but it doesn't have to. Like, just do ice cream with your friends. Like, do any grab a beer, you know? Like, you don't have to pay for it. Everybody would pay to come. Like, even if it's like 10 people, like, I don't know what Christian's doing Sunday night, but he's your lifelong friend, he can sack up and show up for you.

You know? Yeah. Am I right, Christian? Be real for a sec. I asked Kate's husband to throw me a big party. Did you? No, I told Kate to ask him.

And she said, do you think, you think Dickey threw that party? Right. Yeah. But don't you think, seriously, Christian, wouldn't you? I already said that it's too late. On Sunday?

Yeah, it's too far away. Or too close. Too close. You wouldn't be able to grab a drink. His friends can't show up for a drink to celebrate his 50. If he's going to do it, yeah, sure, but he's not going to do it. Just pick a bar. I know him as well as anybody else.

He's not doing shit. Yeah, not on a Sunday. Why? He's 50 years old. Yeah, because I got to get up the next day. Then grab ice cream or do something in the daytime. Like, you don't have to do it at night. Just pick something.

You don't want to not celebrate your 50th. I'm going to pick. It's time for TV. Yeah. I'm serious, Brett. Think about it. I'd show up. Not that you'd ask me.

No, of course I would ask you. I see what you're saying, but I'm in a place where also like I was going to plan this big trip and all these things. And it's just there's a lot of things in my life that I need to put. What about dinner with your family? Like nothing? Oh, well, we're going to hang out. We do our usual. My daughter has a little Polaroid camera and we take a picture with that.

And we'll have some ice cream and maybe I'll be allowed to eat some ice cream. This is what happens to us. You didn't get the answer you want because you're too young. All right, here you go. But I don't feel the need to, yeah, I'm sorry. I just don't feel like I'm happy with how things are and I don't. It's not a, you know. As long as you do something.

Yeah, I will. Oh, no, I definitely. I always do something with my family. But I told my wife not to make it a big deal. And it wasn't one of those things like I'm telling you to make it a big deal. I just said, don't worry about it. It's all good. I love everything.

Roxy doesn't like that. Okay. No, I don't. I know. I know. But you know what I like. I like when you talk about TV. Yes.

And that's what we're going to do right now. So it's TV time at Roxy Stryor. Roxy. Let's talk about Shogun. Best shows to watch on your 50th birthday. I can't talk about Shogun, Christian. Oh, why not? Because I was up watching Love's Blind all night.

Because it drops. Because it drops at midnight, and I have to stay up watching the multiple episodes that drop. Shogun is the most talked about show right now. It did drop this week. I will have watched it, obviously, by next week. People are saying Game of Thrones. Yeah, they're saying it's amazing, and I've been hearing a lot of hype around it, to the point where Grammy called me and asked me,

What about the show gun? Wow. I was like, why is it to have so much hype around it? Was it another series? Was it animated? No, no, no. I don't know. I don't know.

But it's it's on Hulu and FX. And it, so from what people are telling me that it's, it's, it's, Steph was talking about yesterday's show. It's out already. It's two episodes are out right now. And just apparently it's incredible. It's incredible. It's a built board by my place.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's supposed to be amazing. I don't know as much about why The hype, yeah, it just set in Japan in year 1600. Okay. I'll be able to tell you guys more next week. Okay. It's a limited series.

I'll make you a deal. I'll watch it as well so we both talk about. Yeah, perfect. I'll tell you this, the billboard is cool. Yeah. Just like you, like, you know, I asked you last week to watch Elimination Chamber. You told me you would. I didn't say it would.

You did. No, I said me. No, you said you would. You said yes, sir. I did not. That's on tape. Somebody pull it up because I don't know if I can back up on that one. It's on tape.

Yeah. Okay, so show me. We will. That's a receipt. I don't remember saying yes, I will. So you're a liar. I think I said, okay, all right. Okay.

What's next? Ready? Next one. I am six episodes into Avatar, the last airbender right now. There's eight episodes. This is the live action. So curious to what you're going to say because I got Steph's thoughts on this yesterday. And she's a big Avatar or Last Bender fan of the animated series.

Yeah, so she had me watch the Avatar animated pilot. So I watched that first episode. We did that with the world. Girlgirls, and then I jumped into this. It's fine. Yeah. She liked it a lot. I saw Ace, who is the biggest Avatar fan I know.

I know from TV fights, he would come fight for every single thing, did not like it. And I know that Steph does. So it seems like there's mixed reviews amongst Avatar fans. As somebody who is watching this as a 32-year-old woman, it is definitely, it was a Nickelodeon adaptation. Is it aimed at kids? So for sure when I'm watching it, some of the dialogue is like, hokey. Also, additionally, there is a lot of child actors in this. And that is very specific.

It makes it hard for you to masturbate. This is why you should celebrate my birthday. I'm like not sure where to go from there. So you like that? It's not a bad show. Right. The show's fine. I'm going to finish it.

I think it's mid. Okay. All right. What's that? I actually watched the first episode of this. Oh, ex-pats. Okay, so expats. What do you think of the first episode?

I liked it. Okay. Yeah, yeah, it's good. I liked it. I'm liking the show. It's Nicole Kidman. It's a bunch of expats. And I like the way that they did the first episode.

The premise, like the way that we're kind of flipping perspectives, you know, think about the people who have. tragedy happened to them, but you don't think about the people who... Yeah, and the way that's set up. Yeah. Does she ever play happy people anymore, though? I don't know.

I feel like she's miserable, and her characters are miserable in every... Who's this? Nicole Kittman. Oh, yeah. Most of her characters are miserable, but she's great in it. Yeah, she's really good. Or dead and I know they're dead. Is that, which one was that?

Oh, that was that, what was that movie? The others? Right. Oh, I love that movie. Boom. I thought Jack Houston was Huston, Hustin, that he was good in it. There's a lot of people. What is it?

Explain it to me because I don't get what, and I'm sure the people at home that don't. What is expats, ex-patriot fans, or ex-patriots, ex-people that storm the capital? Americans that aren't living in America anymore. Where are they based? They're in Japan. That was Hong Kong.

Oh, Hong Kong. Yeah, yeah. They're in Hong Kong. I thought I had something to do with the football team. That's why. No, the dynasty is so good right now. Oh, my God. That's not what we're talking about.

We're talking about expats. How many episodes are right now? I have seen three. Oh. But there's more. Oh, because there's only one that I saw. No, there's, and there's even more. You only watch one?

Yeah, I only watched one. Let's see. Ex-Pats, episodes. Currently, everything takes time, guys, and you just have to worry about that. I am worried about it. You got to go soon, so. All right, well, expats. I don't know how many episodes.

I would have told you if you gave me 15 more seconds. Well, I didn't do it. It doesn't matter. There's a few more episodes, but who cares? All right, next. This segment's going very well, I would say. Did it to get derailed by the masturbation? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Next one. I put Masters of the Air on the list every week because this is the best show on TV right now. Really? Yeah, by far. So beautifully shot. This past week, it's like my stomach is in my throat. I just don't know what's going to happen here.

And now we're really dealing. We've gone into a prisoner of war. territory. He's going to watch a show. Yeah. Oh, this is the World War II. Yeah. But the pilots.

Yeah. So good. So good. All right. Moving on last one. And you just mentioned it before. Yeah, because I stayed up all night watching Love is Blind because every Wednesday they drop new episodes. And I wait until midnight to watch them and do not go to bed until I finish every second of however many they dropped.

Because this show is that addicting. I think that this season we might have some real winners. Okay. And this is what about the people who race rabbits? Blind rabbits. What is this show? They fall in love through a wall. Oh.

Oh, yeah. And then they get engaged sight unseen. And this is a guilty pleasure show, right? This is, you're not like thinking they're going to find love, or do you feel that they will? So this is season six, and there are several couples that are still together. Wow. Okay. Including one from the first season.

I mean, the concept does work for me. I mean, in terms of, like, you're learning to meet somebody and their personality before you see them. But I'm sure that the ones that, stuck together, we're attracted. To be 100% honest. I'm sorry, sometimes the things I say even affect me. To be 100% honest, there's not... Go ahead, Rox. I'm sorry. That was horrible.

Love is blind. Love truly is blind. I mean, look at me. My wife stuck with me. Let me just say what I'm about to say and then move on from there. They only cast attractive people on the show. Oh, that's good. I mean, it would probably be more entertaining when you look behind the curtain and there was somebody who was like a real whatever.

But most people are like relatively attractive on the show. Yeah. All right. That's the society we live in. This is the last show. Thanks for being with this for as long as you happen. I think people would watch if Roxy on the TV. This was harassed.

It's true. If you ever want to write that comment, today is the day of it. I'm done. Yeah, good. Is that the end of you? Yup. That's not true. Speaking of which, where can they find you if they can't find you here getting harassed?

Everywhere at Roxy Stryor, check out the world. Girls, we're live every Wednesday night. We give everything a whirl. And the number one member of the Kanye... Oh, Jesus. I'll be having ice cream with Roxy on Sunday, probably. I would. Yeah.

Wait, I'll do something. All right. Brett, where can they find you? They can find me here, hopefully, continuing, and they can find me on a... aboveboard TV, YouTube. Still waiting for some of my stuff to drop. That was shot. There's a great bit with me with a tiny microphone.
