I was like I'm gonna sleep until 9 Yeah My alarm went off at 9 I thought that a train had run over me Yeah I was like oh my God God, I've only, like, I just have not. So, yeah, the shoot was fucking amazing.

I'm stoked on it. I think the movie's going to be awesome. I think it's going to do very well. Good. I'm only in three wee scenes, but I think I make an impact. That's what you're supposed to? What were you, jerking off into socks? Yeah, drinking off in socks.

And I was just, why are you, are you tired because you were sampling some Santa Clarita's legendary methamphetamines? Is that legendary? Oh, yeah, they've got some good methamphetamines out there in the coming in that. Where are you know that from? Tell us the ad. Give us an ad. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're looking for methamphetamines,

look no further than Santa Carita. I feel like it's a rich people town. Santa Carita? No. Why are you missing the L? Santa Carita. Clarita. I had a friend named Clarita.

Yeah. Not sure. Cleared up right away. Yeah. What? Someone stole your joke. Your Eileen joke. Oh, I know.

Stole Eileen joke? Yeah. I just saw this guy do my bit about instead of losing weight, I'd just say I used to weigh 300 pounds, and he exactly says 300 pounds. You gotta tweet that shit out, man. You gotta stop waiting for the tell it on stage.

You think what's happening is they're stealing it, or they just came over with the same thing? Yeah, they came up with. I saw this whole thing about, like, if you think that your idea that you came up with, somebody stole it, it's basically that you didn't put it out there at the right time and stuff. That's how I'm living lately.

I'm doing some affirmations lately, Roxie. Wait, slow it down for that. If you come up with an idea, and somebody else stole that idea, you didn't put it out at the right time? They didn't steal it. Just other people have the same thoughts. He's not saying that if you set it in front of them

and then they decided to do. No, he's saying like if someone in France came up with the same thing that you did, they didn't steal your idea. They just posted it before you did. Yeah. That's what happened with me with two and one shampoo and conditioner. Oh, is that true?

Yeah, it was seven. You thought about it? I did. What I liked about what you just did there, I think you forgot Brett and I were in the room. I think you're just kind of like talking to yourself and then realize, yeah, you're in the... Hello. Hello, my friend.

Do you meet anybody on set? Oh, my God. No, everybody, it was so crazy, Christian. Everyone on set was trying to set me up. There was, like, a couple of different people who were like, I've got this person for you, this person for you. All people on set. And I don't do that. Because it's, yeah.

Like, we're there for two weeks. Right. And I just... You just want to work. Yeah. Yeah, I'm fucking focused. Like, I, when I'm on set, I, even though I was only in a, only supposed to be there a couple of days, I came every day to just like, observe, learn, help, do everything that I could do because I'm green. And I really want to grow and I want to be the best I can be and I want to learn from, you know, like, Alan Ruck is on set with me.

That's like. How was he? Was he awesome? He was so fucking good. Yeah. Like, he's just so talented. Cameron, baby. Cameron.

Right. I mean, and also, anybody who's watching. succession. Like, it's the biggest show on television right now. Right. Did you talk his ear off about succession? No, no. It didn't seem appropriate, but I thought about it. I'm sure. I thought about it a lot. I bet she'd want to talk about it.

Yeah, yeah, but like, you know, when he was there, he only came in for a little bit. He was filming, filming, filming, yeah, it's an indie, so we're moving. They tried to set you up on him? No, no. Yeah. But, like, there's this, one of the people on set, Felissa Rose, who's the star of Sleepaway Camp, she's been in a million different things, but

she is the producer, she's one of the stars, the movie and she was like this is egregious that you don't have somebody let's go through my like start showing me pictures and whatever but she's like what about that guy like pointing on set to just random people I'm like is he even She's like I don't date below the line

Right Right Absolutely that's not it it's just You heard it here first I just like things get messy And I have a job to do Yeah things do get messy when you date people On set

On set On set Kinky. And also at this point, everybody's married anyway. Yeah. He's cracking up to him. He's killing me. You know, I had a, I wouldn't call it a sex dream about you, but we were, because we

argued so much in the dream that we never got to that part. But I was dating you, and it was very disappointing because we were just arguing the whole time. I'm sorry. We got to apologize for dates, but you have no control of it. I know. I did go on. an awesome fucking date.

Why are you coming over here? You told me to come close to this way. Oh, do I need to move her? No, she's fine. Go ahead. I can go this way. Yeah, stay right there. Stop. Go ahead. How's the date?

Well, he loses a different state. Oh, perfect. But it was great. It was great. No, and then like the two guys I talked about at the show that my therapist said I shouldn't see anymore. Oh. They didn't call me anyway, so.

So it didn't matter. So it worked out. I don't know, man. I don't know what. What do you do it? I don't know. The guy out of state. I don't know.

Where am I supposed to find them? Not here. Maybe you're out of state. Maybe it's a way. He's great, but he doesn't live here. Yeah. So. Well, there you go.

So, well, everything else is going good. Yeah. It's excellent. I think actually I booked a couple other things from this movie. I'm hoping that's how it starts rolling. Oh, nice. I just really, really, really want to be a working actor. It's so fucking on.

No shit. How are you doing? The film I'm in one. Best Picture or Best Picture at the The tomato festival. The tomato festival. No, it was the Pasadena Film Festival.

Oh, it was? Yeah. A lot of support. Oh, is this the Leaf one? Yeah. A lot of people came out. Oh, are you being a joke right now? No, no, no.

He's not actually. He's telling the truth. What? Kate didn't show when she said she would have. What are you talking about? Ellis was in Mexico. Oh, yeah. And what are you even talking about?

He was in a movie. I put it on my story. This is my favorite is what people do. My favorite. I did not see that. I want to get back to leave's movie in a second. My most hated thing is when people invite you to their birthday parties and screenings through Facebook.

Oh, yeah. I hate Facebook invites. I never look at them. Not going. Do not send them to me. I don't look at them. And it's like, oh, I invited you to my 40th birthday party. You never showed up.

Where? From Facebook? Fuck off and text me. It's like, text me. You come into the birthday party? Oh, cool. That's great. Facebook me.

I hear you. You know what I'm saying? If I ever send a Facebook thing, it's to the people that I don't need to be there. I text to anybody who I really want. Sure, but no, so our buddy Leif did a, did a movie. And he actually said, A Leap's a person. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was, he played, so you, you. He from Canada? No, no, you know who he is. You love the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man, right? So he, he killed Uncle Ben. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, in that one.

So he directed, he actually directed me in a movie that I want to put it up on this channel, height. Ever height? Oh, God. Yeah. And, but he, so he was, he directed the movie, and I actually started watching it before I left from Mexico. I didn't watch the whole thing,

but it was really, really good. I liked a lot. But it did well at the festival? Yeah, it did really well. And I saw... When did you shoot this? Last... Well, I mean, it was a long time because it's...

There were characters that people were playing that halfway through I had a different wife at one point. I wasn't going to be in it and then I was in it. And so it's kind of... It was a... You know, talk about just calling on favors. It was all just favors of people. But there's, you know, they're named people in it as well.

But... Yeah, he just called in a ton of favors. When did you shoot this? I don't know. I honestly don't know, Roxy. I'm saying it just was like over a long period of time last year. I don't. Who's the delirious?

You know, I don't remember like what the age is between my brother and sister. I can't tell you when I shot anything. Do you remember that? Are you going to get that? No, you weren't there. Was it? Was it? I believe it, though.

I believe everything he was talking about. All right, listen to me. You got to talk about something. But real quick, let me just say, you know, if it's going to be in festivals, it's called a pretty good movie. and I'll try to be better. But I did contact people individually. I knew you were shooting.

So I didn't, you know, but I asked. Because I would have gone 100%? Oh, I know. I know. And then it was just... You know what you did do? What? You reached out to me on Mother's Day.

You know what you didn't do? I know. I thought I did think about it, but I was in Mexico. I thought about it. I was like, it's been long enough. She's over it. You know, it's the worst that you thought about it, right? Everybody's got problems, asshole.

Get over it, Rock. No, I was, look, I got in trouble all the way around with Mother's Day. So you're the least. I want to hear about that. Sorry, you were plugging it. It's in festivals. Yeah, yeah. So I think the next one is like Oklahoma or something like that.

But no, it was a lot of fun. Musical? Yeah, Oklahoma. No, it's going to be an Oklahoma. Weather wind comes sweeping down the plane. We'll just have to have Leaf and Brian the, you come in and talk about it. Yeah, because you're the worst ambassador for a film you can have. I actually promoted it, but I did it in the grassroots kind of way.

I just individually hit people up. People are aware of it. Yeah. Yeah, but nobody knows what it is. I do just talk with you every single week. I don't know what it is. Yeah. So, Leif should definitely talk about it.

Come on and talk about it. 100%. What is this movie? Don't know. Come on. We're going to be here for another 20 minutes. No, you're right. What did you do from other day?

I was in, it was my brother's wedding in Mexico, but I bought a gift. You did nothing. Well, no, but I was there. It was there on that day. But I bought a gift for my wife, right, on Amazon the day that I left. Ooh. To send to Mexico? No, my goal was to have it was because it was a convention oven.

It was one that she wanted a new one because I was busting. She told me she really wanted. Convection. Convection. Convection. And so anyway, I wanted to get that for her. So I picked it out. I did the research on this one.

It was like it won all these awards and it was like it did everything. it's an air fryer, everything. So I was like, okay, it's great. So as soon as we get back, it'll be here waiting for us. So I bring it up. And I said, let me close it to tab for a second. I'm going through and I'm uploading stuff.

Never pushed send. So I thought I pushed send. I didn't push send. And then, but it didn't matter anymore because I was getting back. I went up getting in here anyway, but it didn't matter because I, because she reminded me as we were there on Sunday morning. And we're supposed to do this brunch for all the mothers on

Sunday and we didn't, my brother didn't wind up doing it. So I thought that was going to be the thing. And then thank God luckily, you know, we had the wedding that night and it was it was great. But then. Oh, Sunday night was the wedding. Sunday night was the wedding. So it was like everybody kind of did stuff on Sunday night. But it was, it just, it was so. I was and I was with the kids all day because I wanted to give her. And I wanted to get her a spa day. That's what I was going to do in Mexico. was get her a spa day. But she didn't want to go into the, into the spas. Because she was like, I don't know. She was, she was, she was, she was, she was. She's still... COVID. She's getting better about it. She knows...

She doesn't like Mexico. Definitely not. No. Oh, guys. Guys. You can only make jokes about, like, us. Yeah. You went too far, bro.

Yeah. But, but no, she just... And she knows. She knows that she knows that it's getting better, everything, too. But she just... It's a very intimate thing to... It's just how she is. And she's like, so she didn't want to get intimate.

Intimate. Yeah. Intimate. I don't know what's going. Go to the convention of it and get intimate. I ended up in Santa Carita. for a couple days. Yeah.

But anyway, so that didn't work out. I get it. My dad's like that right now. Right. But, but that's what I thought I was getting her for it. And she didn't want to. She had told me she wanted to go the spa. And I was like, okay, I'm going to get you, I'm going to do the spa day.

It didn't work out. But I did take the kids and walked around for a bit and had it. And I gave her some time and all that. But like, I totally, I totally, I goofed a bunch of different ways. I goofed with my mom. I goofed with her. Your mom was there. My mom was there.

And I was so, I, my mom every day, we would see, we would see her to bring her, with the kid and she was like, where are you guys? I don't see you for the kids and bring her to the kids. And I was so, because I was bummed that the stupid oven didn't get there and all this stuff to. We forgot you got a mom. Well, she was there. I knew she was there, but I was walking and I went to that. I went and I was taking the kids and I'm running around with the kids.

And then my brother's like, hey, mom's over here too. I was like, oh, well, good. I have her meet her. Meas to the pool. He's like, come say hi to her. And I'm like, I'll see a little bit. I totally forgot it was Mother's thing. And then I see her at the freaking, at the, at the, at the wedding at,

I blew it on 11 different. And then my mom was less mad than my wife. But then I thought about you. And I said, I got to text Roxy. I said, I got to text Roxy. No, it meant a lot to me when you did. I said, I got to text Roxy because I was like, I know, because I usually do. Yeah, you do.

I usually always do it. I said, I got to text Roxy and just see how she's doing. Same thing with the convention of it. Word, word. So that was it. So I screwed up with you. I screwed up with her. every woman in my life I screwed up with on Sunday.

Every, every woman who lost a mother wants to hear that you forgot it was Mother's Day. I think that's the dream and they really, that was the best part of the story. Every she's like, you know, she's like, you know, would give anything to have one last

day with her mother. You know what she goes? She says, you know who didn't, who didn't forget her mother's day? Me, you fucking asshole. But you forgot about me. Totally. I, I, I, I, the worst. I am, I am the worst when it comes to birthdays and all this. I'm the worst. Why do you think that is? I don't know, but I'm so bad at it and when I

and it's also when I try to like figure out gifts. I'm so, I'm bad at gifts. I'm bad. I'm just not good at it. And it's like, it's a thing that I wish I could fix, but I can't. I've tried it. Like, I'll come up with an idea to get a gift and the gift sucks. And you don't send it. My dad, my dad always makes fun of me with the shirt. I got him the world's best dad shirt was. It was so bad. It was like five years ago. So bad. It was so bad.

It was atrocious. But, you know, you live and don't learn. Does he wear it? Yeah, but I think he wiped his asshole with it, too. Anyway, so that's what the Thursday show is. You're brand new the show. We talk about everything except movies and television. There is some stuff to talk about.

But before we do it, if you wanted, Roxy's out of gas. And if she was drinking athletic green, she'd be better, but she didn't. So that's on her. All right, hear me tell you about Athletic Greens. Athletic Greens, AG1, baby. We love them. We've been with them forever.

So excited to be with them. And I take them every day because I wanted the better gut health. I wanted the increased energy, the immune system to support all that stuff. And I don't like taking the vitamins. Just take it all in one shot. Mix it up in a water bottle. Boom, Godush. Age 1 all the time.

And Brett was the one that said, hey, man, you've got to do it. I said, I did it because I don't like those supplements. I very quickly realized that it helps me with energy, helps me with the sleep quality. That's what it really helps. Why you want to take a bunch of different things? You just take one scoop of powder and water. That's it.

Done. Dun shaluski-du-ski. And I'm always looking for ways to life hack. That's what I do. I trust AG1. It's the best. Every scoop is packed with 75 vitamins, minerals, whole-food-sourced ingredients, everything.

Boomska-dosush. Boosh-kadoosh on the flushy-mogushi-shoosh. Hey, what do you do? Sweating up a stormy. That is nothing compared to what Ellis. Ellis in Mexico Oh, I bet. Was

Wall of fishing? Sweeting like JTE and a spelling bee. Oh my God. It was. I loved his fit. His what? His outfit for the officiating. Holy shit.

It was good. He did great, like always. But like I talked about it on yesterday's show, but my daughter annihilated her speech. It was great. Yeah, like it was, it was fun. It was fun, but we were ready to come back and we came back. How long are you there for? A week?

Got there on Thursday night, came back on Monday night. Oh. So. That's quick. I mean, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. No, it's a nice vacation. Yeah. Ex-Kare. You get there, it's a...

What? X-Karee. Is that the name of place? It takes an hour to get there from the airport to... What airport? Whatever the airport is in Cancun or... Cancun. Cancun.

Cancun. That's it. Is it near Toulon? What, would you call me? Touloum? To a loom To a look To a way It's an Aztec temple

You fuck That's right Mouth breather Hey hey listen Brett Let me ask you something You ever been to an Aztec temple Yeah was it Kloom

I went to Chechnica That's a real place I got a little bit of an Aztec if you know what I mean It's we've been working on it It's a new porn device You guys are uncultured fucks Yeah

I have been to Tulum Swine Better watch your mouth there missy in one of two movies. And you think you think you're Mrs. Julia Roberts or something. Excuse me, I've been in three movies. Three movies. Excuse me.

And a lot of student films and shorts. That's right. Copy and credit. Yeah, I was in a bunch of films which you'll only see my penis. What? Oh. Take it easy. Take it easy.

I got to cut that. I got to beep it. I got to beep it. Yeah. Anyway, let's talk about some stuff. Here's the first thing I wanted to talk about. Let's move over to, move over to what? I didn't talk about anything yet.

Let's a good segue into the next story. Which is absolutely nothing. I want to talk about Agatha, Coven of Chaos. This is Aubrey Praza. She talks about a mysterious new, Marvel? Can't talk. Marvel Prof. We make fun of Roxy for being out of it.

None of us could say words. Yeah. Augusta, Cuvana of Cuyus. Aubrey Plaza. She was saying something about a Marvel Cinematic Universe project. You know what it's called? The Dark Hole Diaries. And to which everyone said,

what the hell is that? Marvel Studios appeared to be slowing down its yearly output with 2023 Disney Plus TV shows like Iron Heart, Agatha, Covenant of Chaos, going into 2024. The latter is still shooting, of course. And Catherine Hahn reprises her Wanda Vision role as Agatha Harkness.

Is it mean? Does anybody else find Catherine Hahn extremely sexy? Yeah, I was going to just say that. What is that about her? She's an attractive woman. But she's just like really sexy. How does that happen?

Confidence. No, that happens. Anyway, so very little is known about the series, but with Kristen and Bobby Lopez penning songs for the spin-off are expected to feature several musical numbers. I don't know what this project is.

But Roxy, does it sound like anything you want to watch? I really fuck with Aubrey Plaza and also, did you, either of you guys watch Legion? No. No. Okay.

I was hoping you're going to say the other one that she was in recently. What do you call it? You know what I'm talking about. White Lotus. You know what I'm talking about? Come on, Rox. Between Parks and Rec, Legion,

White Lotus, Ingrid goes west, all of her shit that I've seen. She's obviously really good, but she also just like is super weird. Yeah, you like that. Yeah, it works for things like this. It works for like the supernatural for the superhero, the weird and the strange and the rich and the bitch. But I think that kind of blends into our overall conversation, what we're going to talk about today with the writer strike, right?

And it's like, when is the writer's strike going to go until and these projects that are getting announced working on? Showrunners are working on things because certain people can't work on things because are accredited or writers. Like John Favro is a writer on Mandalorian, but he can do showrunner duties. but he shouldn't do writing duties, you know, like Tony Gilroy has decided, though, you're not doing any duties whatsoever. Yeah, I mean, kind of he can do show running duties, but like also a lot of people are not willing to cross that picket line, a lot of showrunners. Solidarity type of stuff, right, sure.

Of course. And like, yeah, there's the legal side of it. There's the solidarity side of it. It's just a very complicated matter right now. I think I was on this show when initially the writer's stroke was happening. And I think I remember being like, I can't see this lasting app. We were talking to Krista Miller. We were talking to Krista Miller.

Yeah. And I was like, I just can't see this lasting. And then you start hearing from all the studios that they're like fully fucking locked in and loaded and prepared for this to go through Labor Day. And it's like, ugh. Yeah. I mean, look this. Fuck, it's so bad for everybody in the industry.

Well, so that's. Except for them. That's right. And they plan, and I've been saying this and I'll say it again, they have planned this out. This is, they did not get hit with this. the way that they did in 2008 where they weren't prepared, plus there are a lot of different things

and different tools in the toolbox that they didn't have back in 2008. When you look at the streaming stuff and you use Loki as an example, Loki was pushed back because Disney's like, okay, well look, we have all these series coming out. We got Asoka coming out. We have this coming out.

Let's spread them out a little bit more, not crowd each other and gives us time. The writers and stuff, they don't necessarily let them figure it out. For us, we've got to cut certain projects, So we got to get our budgets back. We've got to save some money, certain things, certain deals that we had that can fall through. And to them, business-wise, they're like, yeah, we'll hit that table in August and September.

And if we figure it out then, we will. If not, it stretches out a little bit. The studios are not going to hurt the way people think that they are. It's the writers that should be fighting the way that they are every day. I don't, I support the writers to support everything they're doing, and they should be doing exactly what they're doing. but they are the ones who are being hurt the most. And yes, absolutely. And also, everybody else is not going to set.

That's, yes. Well, right. That's right. But there are going to be, like, look at the nonfiction side of things. There's going to be a boom on that for a little bit. There's going to be more, and probably more of those shows will be greenlit just in case, reality TV shows and other documentaries and certain things, where you can just shoot without scripts and do it.

whatever it might be. There might be a lot more of that, and the Netflix stuff might see a boost and other things. But I think that this thing stretches out until August, September. It's just so awful. And I get that corporations are greedy and want money, and that's their bottom line.

And honestly, part of that is horrible and part of that makes sense because of their business. But it's like we're leveling an entire industry. It takes so long to bounce back from this. The writers are doing exactly what they have to do. There are no other option for them because they're not making livable wages and everybody who's standing in support with them is doing what they have to do

because you have to stand by your sister unions. But it's like the fact that it's not just the writers, obviously. It's every single fucking gaffer, AD, actor, every position on set. And it's just like what are you supposed to do when you're not making? getting a paycheck for five months. Right. And you have kids.

Yeah. And a mortgage. But you said it. The whole business is really effective. I had dinner with a friend last night who was involved in the business. And he was just like, I just, I had a meeting and just played where I was, it's simply a ghost town. And it was, and he's like, and not just that. It's that the energy is just like.

Yeah. It's sucked out of. I mean, like, I drove by five. yesterday and there are people out there and they're out there and they're they're doing their their thing and they're they've got that burst of energy but it's fucking deflating you know I was talking to Kate Mulligan about this and she and her husband obviously a writer she said something really prominent to me this morning inside of the text which was you got to remember something about writers

or two the reason why they're going to fight as hard as they're fighting besides the fact that they're going to fight for what they want they're used to being out of work because that's what a writer does writer waits yeah until they get work and it is, and so they're going to be able to, they're going to be able to endure. Yeah. For sure, because they're kind of, they're kind of used to to that, especially,

I mean, maybe not the ones that are, that have really made it and that are working all the time. No, but just, if you're in a room. Yeah. And yeah. Yeah. Completely. But that's the same thing for the,

but what I'm, I'm curious about, I just went in 15 million directions, but it's like, you know, there's rumors that SAG is going to strike. There's rumors that the DJ is going to strike. And it's like, so if we so if this if the writer's strike goes until September until Labor Day then what like I think the other ones will be locked down faster than you think yeah because there's no way I mean

because again it's preparation and knowing and how studios corporate that's what they do for everything yeah they're seeing it all right now and they're trying to make it like okay what can we afford what can we not afford, what can we do? They're more prepared now than they ever have been. The bigger question is, what when they solve it in September, October, November, whenever they do solve it,

the writers ain't going to get everything that they want. And the studios aren't going to get everything that they want. The bigger question is, where does it land? Because, you know, there's an argument to be made about, let's say, one of the big things on what the writers are asking for it or the studios, too, is when you get to a writer's room, that has to

a minimum amount of people that are writing on it, right? And it's like, something like, I think the writers, don't quote me on this, I don't know all of it, but let's say it's like 15 or 20 writers. The way that it works today,

I don't necessarily know out of a minimum of 20 is necessary for that, right? I just don't know. There are certain shows that can be written at less, but the question is, what is fair as opposed to a minimum, a maximum,

that's the stuff that they got to figure out and people way smarter than me that are going to figure that stuff out. But there's that stuff. There's the AI portion of it. Amongst the midst of a great many things that they're talking about. The streaming aspect, the residuals being the two. That's the biggest thing is that, and even that clip from like Snoop Dogg, you know, it's like, where does that money go?

Where, like the fact that they don't tell you, like Netflix, don't tell you, we're not going to tell you how many people are watching. We're not going to give you our numbers. I think that's bullshit. I do too. I think that's because if they presented with, well, X.7 million people watch this. Well, then where the fuck's my money? Right.

Exactly. So that's why they don't say shit. Yeah, that, and for so many different reasons. They're so fucking sneaky. Yeah. And that's no knock on Netflix. They're all so fucking sneaky. Yeah.

Well, because Netflix is probably like, well, if nobody else is doing, why do we have to do it? There's no, it's like, it's like baseball before there was like a salary cap. You know, before there was never a salary cap in baseball. And then there's like, now it's like you go over a certain. amount and you've got to pay a penalty, right? And it's like, you got to, there's got to be a rule. If there's no rule, they're not going to play by the rules because there's no rule

to follow. But someone's got to make a rule. And you got to say that because it is not fair that a certain people are writing shows doing this, but they don't. But the other big argument is the AI portion of it all because it's like, okay, if you're, if you have an ideal, let's say

Brett and I, we have this big idea we want to do when you pump it into an AI program and it pumps out of script. And it's like, to us, it's pretty lazy, pretty easy. And it's not going to be as good because you're not going to have the jokes. You're not going to have the certain things. You're going to have to punch it up, but it's a blueprint, right? So there's that one side of you that goes, well, that's great.

That's, it saves me a lot of work to then go, okay, well, I don't like what the programmed in there, so I'm going to change it, but at least I have that. But then there's the very valid argument for the writers going, but let me do that. Yeah. I can do that. And it's like, you don't need a computer to do that. So it's like It's like the self-driving car

You know? Yeah, it's just the I think when you're an artist Which sometimes I sound so fucking woo-woo When I talk about this But it's my whole life You know, it's all It's really all I've ever fucking cared about

Or felt good at And writers feel like that too It's so fucking insulting To think that there is a machine That could do what you could do And also extremely detrimental To society That we are like

actually art no longer art ceases to exist in the way that it's existed before because machines can make art and it's like bitch that's not true because does that machine have childhood trauma i don't fucking think so like it's just not the same thing and i totally hear you because when you think about it if you're just somebody living somewhere and you're like oh this machine can do it the first draft and then you have people writers punch it up or whatever it does sound enticing but where is the line it's really fucking well it goes back to that whole thing of like where we talked about And I think you stood on the side you're on right now. And it's like the John Wayne thing. Or James Dean, right? That you can recreate James Dean inside of a movie. Like, I think maybe you and I were on the same page. No, I think we're on opposite pages. I'm the only one I know.

But I think it all depends on the person's contract. Like, I think that you should not be able to. Oh, you don't think they should. I think you should be able to make AI with James Dean, like any of them. I think now we need to start including that in your way. If you're an actor, you should be able to. 100% So same page

Yeah because I think like You look at very similar Like the AI voicing stuff Right like voice actors have as much of a concern With that stuff That the writers do Because somebody made a Snoop Dogg song Like with his Snoop Dog's voice

Right so he should be paid for that Obviously if they're going to do that But like I said like look at James Earl Jones James Earl Jones now For the remainder of time. Long after he's gone, his family now will get paid

for any time they AI use his voice as Darth Vader. And it worked significantly better having his voice AI in the Obi-Wan series than it did in Rogue 1, in my opinion. It sounded more like Vader.

But to Roxy's point, he's getting paid for it. Yeah. You got to include all that stuff and in the same way. It can't just be fucking free for these studios. Right. And it's like one of these things that are like, look, if because you're not, what you're never going to get, like if the studio decides,

I think there's a mix with the AI thing when it comes to a script. Because it's like, basically the argument could be for the writers against the studios. Well, wait a minute. If they wanted to, let's say a studio exec goes, you know, I want to do a movie about a giant lizard that becomes friends with a giant

puppy. And Frank and Louis and he throws it in the program. He goes, look at the script of the thing pumped out. Let's make this. And then the writers go, well, wait a minute, you guys don't even need writers anymore to do it, but that script is not going to be that good. Not enough. But they go, oh, we figure it out on set. We hire the right directors. That's the problem creatively that all of the audience is going to endure. If that's the key, there needs to be a happy medium, a good balance between it. Because I do think there is a place for AI, but I think that there should be something along

the lines like if you're hired in as a writer, I'm hiring Roxy Stryor as a writer. And during that project, turn in time. AI can be used to help the project to do this. Like the writer can use it as a tool? Correct. As opposed to like it being the basis. To be in the basis. So it's, it's tough.

It's like, what are the rules and that, and that is going to happen over and over and over again in time because the technology is this is a, this is an eight track version of AI right now. Yeah. You know what I mean? You know, this has been a crazy thing. I don't know if you guys have seen this going around on TikTok, but also. So just in general, if you've heard about these stories.

But right now, one of the biggest problems is that our legal system is not set up to handle AI in general. Currently, people, you, you, me, we have access to AI in a way that you can emulate anybody's voice. So what's happening is that people are using this, calling people's family members and extorting them for money right now, saying, I bet you're, it's me, Johnny. I've been in a horrible car accident. and I need this thing. Or I've kidnapped this person for ransom, then they have the voice, whatever. And they're asking for tens of thousands.

People are taking out fucking loans, mortgages, and shit. It's scary as fuck. And we have no laws against this right now. We have laws against extortion, but we don't have... Internet laws. It's still aren't great. No, they're horrible. Like, they're horrible, as I've been dealing with my own shit.

There's just no... We haven't updated our system. And so everybody, like you said, Christian, And we're at the early stages of this right now. Like what the writers are dealing with, I feel like almost every single job in the world. Do you know when that's going to start to change more, unfortunately? When politicians start to get into more,

the heavy power seats start to move into, what's your generation? What are you? You're not ex. No, I'm millennial. Right. And then Gen Z's after me. So when millennials, Gen Zs, Gen X start getting into the power seats of Congress.

and I think more so even millennials than Gen Z. That's when, because they've grown up with this stuff. They've, like, it's been part of their lives. They understand it more. You look at the baby boomers that are still in there now, and they don't give a shit. And so that's- No cap, man.

But that stuff's going to change. It has to because there needs to be a system in place, and I think that that's what the writers are asking for. We can't just let this be a fucking free-for-all where AI can take every single one of our jobs because they see the writing on the wall. Did you guys see that trailer for the Gareth Edwards movie? Mm-mm.

So Gareth Edwards has a brand-new movie. What the hell is it called? It is called The Creator. The Terminator. No, it's the creator. And it's basically, well, both of them. The trailer just dropped yesterday. So the...

Sorry, I was filming my own movie, Christian. Yeah. Well, I'm very famous. No, you weren't. You were filming this. Because I was trying to be, it dropped today. Oh. Oh, so thanks for exposing us from.

Anyway. I see, I see. It's Thursday, Ratsy. But the point that I was making on both those images, Terminator and the creator. So it's got a mixture of Minority Report meets Terminator meets Elysium and it's AI basically taking over years later. But the AI are connected to these computers, but they're in like these robot forms. Oh, Jesus. And they're running out.

And John David Washington is one of the people fighting against them. And it's a really good trailer. You should check it out. The cast is stacked. It's a sick cast. Yeah. I think Roxy will agree with me on this one that women shouldn't have vibrators because there's no way that that can replace the human touch. And my wife, he makes a valid point.

I agree. Yeah. If you can do it yourself. Yeah. I don't understand why your wife has a vibrator. Yeah. Is that true? No.

There's no way that she does. He talks about fucking all the time. Yeah. Yeah, but it's different. It's different. Yeah. You can take care of yourself. I guess.

Also, you could use it on her. Yeah. She could use it on you. Whoa. Sometimes you're gone. Yeah. It's better than her finding somebody else. Exactly.

No, it was a bad joke. So the thing about vibrators is. Can we cut this out? Let me explain. She doesn't watch the show. What do you care? No. I do just a moner.

Uh, where. Is the rest of the sentence? I don't know. Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? She's using a mind writer. Yeah, she's not there. How old is she? I hope she's over 25.

Yep. I don't know where Carmen is. She's got to be up there in age. You know, I thought that she was a detective. I don't even know what the... She's a fucking criminal. She's the bad guy. Oh, she is?

Good for her. Yeah, I don't know. Hey, listen. Man. You're trying to kidnap. Or not kidnap. You're trying to find her. Where in the world?

like Harmon's Andeagle because she's a fucking international spot. Oh, okay. Does she go to cold environments? I don't know because I'm not following her there. Well, she should be using a rumble blanket if she is. So rumble blanket, keep yourself safe with a rumble blanket. I love rumple and they're on a mission to introduce the world to better blankets.

You can't tell them Or you can't tell me Maybe both Yeah All right let's do this But what I can tell you Is that it's time for your segment Oh yeah

It's time for Someone made music for you Where the fuck is it Should I play it right now? Yeah All right let me get it Because we asked that When we did

Yeah yeah I know And there's there's There's Roxy music Hold on me bring it up It's Roxie music Music. Yeah, rock's the music. Okay, so here's what we found out as I was looking.

Al Tuvei, who wrote me an email to which again, I'm terrible at responding to people, but he wrote this email and he said he would do a segment for his music producer. So what I'm going to do, this is not the actual segment. This is from his Spotify. He produced material with Breakup Hospital and included a link. So I'm just going to play this just for today. this is not the theme for Roxy

when we give Roxy a theme just for today so here we go here's just theme for today ready it's TV time TV time with Roxy

TV time TV time with Roxie so let's talk some motherfuckin perfect this was really good I like what I did I bet you nailed it

I think so you actually come With catchy-ass lyrics. Thank you. You want to do that first? Do you want to do a song before the three of us? We'll do a song. Yeah.

Let's do a song. We'll do the delirious song because everybody's delirious. Okay. Are you ready? Hold on, but I'm going to bring in Roxy's favorite person in the world to do it. Oh, chipmunk. My name is Big Ball. And you know that I'm the motherfucking man or a chipmunk.

Here we go. Yeah, yeah. Hit it, Roxy. It's TV time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Roxy's talking TV. She hates me. When I order food, I don't like cheese.

I put on a movie that's groovy. And every fucking time I fast forward to the boobies, yeah! All right, hit me in my life, Lou Rawls. Yeah, Lou Rawls, baby. That's a dead hit. but that's okay because that's my preference. Fuck myself. I don't think we can follow that.

You don't think that's a good song? I don't think I can go off of that one. So speaking of fucking yourself, my first pick is a show that will make you want to fuck yourself and everything else that moves. Listen, Queen Charlotte, which y'all know about Bridgeton, Anybody? Okay. Yeah, I know Bridgetton.

Okay. So Queen Charlotte's a spin-off of Bridgeton is six. There's some six of stuff going on on this show. It was interesting, though. You know those shows that make you really deep dive into like, what's true about the world? So Queen Charlotte and King George, real people. And there have been a lot of this show like was kind of touching upon different mental health illnesses that he's known as the Mad King and like what happened. happened there and her being married to him and how she had to deal with it.

There's also been a lot of people who have thought that Queen Charlotte might have been black because even though in painting she's white, based on her features, they think that they were painting her more light skin than she actually was. So there's an interesting actual truth as part of what the story they're trying to tell. But for the most part, it's just like very sexy period piece. Like a lot of like makeouty, a lot of bones jumping. Yeah, definitely like if you're trying to get your wife in the mood, which this is not now speaking to, Brett,

speaking to all the people. I'm not trying to tell you how to get your wife, anybody. This is a great one to put on. It's definitely cool. And they did a really good job with it. And it couldn't be done without the writers. All right. What's next? Oh, this one, my wife watches religiously. Firefly Lane. Yeah, she loves it. Okay. So I just, my sister called me and was like, are you watching Firefly Lane? Actually, because because we were just prepping for that Krista Miller interview, I was rewatching

a lot of scrubs and whatever the fucking Sarah, whatever. Johnny Rockets? Are you kidding? What? The girl from Scrubs, Sarah's something. Sarah Say Silverman? No, the main girl from Scrubs,

she's the main girl in this and the girl from Grey's Anatomy is the other one in this. So it's the two of them and I've obviously binged both of those shows before, watched all of it. So my sister called me and was like, you've got to watch this show. it's on Netflix. There's been two seasons. Why haven't you seen this? And I was like, it keeps popping up. Am I recommended? And so I, now I'm on season two. I binged all of season one at like seven in the morning this past week.

And it is really good. She loves it. Yeah, it's really good. She finished it. But it's definitely like soap opera and like very. Right at my wife, Sal. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm really enjoying it. So I think that if you, if you like any of those like the focus on, relationships and balancing that with work and like will they won't they situation Catherine Hegel's kind of like Samantha from Sex and the City in this yeah kind of exactly yeah yeah and like her trying to figure out do I want a man do I not want a man like her career being the most important thing to her she's very much like Samantha that's a good call but did you know that though that there's a Johnny Rockets in the Cancun Airport I mean there is there's a Johnny

Rockets in the Cancun Airport I never would have thought that so it's done I fuck with Johnny I had a great thing of nachos at the Cancun airport. You even put in the song, I don't like cheese. You know I don't like cheese. Don't talk to me about cheese. I'm just telling you it was delicious. No, you know, I'll go ahead, finish.

I put this on my list every single week, and I'm going to put it on it yet again, because until it's done, Succession is the best show. I thought it was the finale. That wasn't the finale last week? No. Oh. Are you sure?

I think it was the finale, rocks. I thought you said it was the finale. Wait a minute. Oh, we have one episode left. I mean, you would probably know, better than me because I've never seen it. But you're going to check. That was not the finale.

I think we have one or two that. Hold on succession. Or maybe you kept saying the last, it's the, maybe you kept saying it's the last season. Why do you guys think it's the finale? I thought I saw people tweeting that it was the finale. No, no. It was not the finale. How dare you guys question me?

I didn't. Brett did. I think you said it was the penultimate finale. Yeah. Yeah. There's an episode on the 21st. I thought that there was 10 episodes of the season, but there's at least one on the 21st. So I, but I think it ends the 28th. Okay.

I'm pretty sure that. Barry and Succession end the same night. There's a lot of shit that's ending right now. Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Barry, Succession, and Ted Lasso all ending this month. It's like fucking crazy. Lasso's done for good. Yes. Oh.

Just a lot of shit. Why is such a short run? I didn't ask them. Why not? Let's get into it. Let's call them up. Ted Lasso is actually also on my list, so I'll transition. Oh, go ahead.

Ted Lasso, I think, I've been seeing a lot of people online being like this season is trying to be too politically correct. I hear them, but to me this season has been, especially the last three episodes, have been like mind-blowingly good. I think that this show, I don't think it's trying to be politically correct. I think it has its finger on the pulse. I think it's like looking at the current state of what matters in sports, what matters in the world, it's addressing those characters are acting realistically for who those

characters are. They're trying to make statements. It's working for me. I love, love, love the last few episodes. And also it's got like everything that I need. I'm a lover of love, ship or ship, last night's episode or two nights ago. I don't even want to reveal what happened,

but like it was a moment I've been waiting for for an entire fucking run. Yeah. And I was like, thank fucking God. Okay, okay. I like that Juno Temple though. Juno Temple. I like, she is me to me.

So I don't know. I don't watch till last time. So I tried just wasn't for me. But I will tell you that she was great in the offer. Mm-hmm. And so, but yeah. I agree.

I loved that show and I thought she was excellent. I watched a few episodes, like one or two episodes of Ted last and I was like, oh, okay. No, it's so good. Yeah. It's so good. This is something that might be up your guys as Alley. Did you guys watch Andrew Santino's? It's my buddy.

I know. Yes. That's why I said it might be up your alley. Yeah. I haven't watched it special though, so again. Cheeseburger. Yeah. Fucking great.

Is it great. Yeah. You know who I texted immediately after it? I was like, this is so up your alley. I think you're going to love it is Durina. Oh. It's very divisive, but very good. That's how he is.

I am obsessed with him because I love Dave. Have you mad? No. Oh, really? No. I love him. Why haven't you met? That's him, right?

No. Sebastian. Why haven't you met Andrew? You know who it is, right? That's even a bad impression. Do you know who he is? Yeah, no, I met him. He made my mom very uncomfortable.

That's right. On the show. Yeah, that's right. I think he's so good. He's one of the best working comedians. but he is, I'm obsessed with him on Dave. You thought Andrew Santino was me? I have black hair.

He has bright red hair like a fox's tail. What's wrong? Cheeseburger. Cheeseburger's so good. And Wyatt's called cheeseburger I loved to. He did a great job with this. It's like politically divisive, but he's smart and he does a really good job. Sebastian's most recent special did not do it for me.

No, the Vegas one. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, Andrews did. It was excellent. This is a show that Brett, you love, you didn't know, was back. That's why I'm putting it on my list because I don't think many people know what's back. And I believe that who dropped it all at once, which I'm kind of peaved about, but I'm going to have to tear through. I'm three episodes deep right now.

The Great. The Great is back for its third season? Third, yeah. Yep. This show is excellent. If you just liked Renfield and you don't know a lot of Nicholas. Holt, you have to be watching this. I think that L. Fanning is like

just Chef's Kiss good in this as well. It's funny. If you like Dickinson on Apple, then you're going to like this. If you like period pieces, it's straight up a comedy. It's like a laugh-out-loud comedy. Really, really good with the third season. So good. Yeah, I can't wait to see it. I'm glad it's back because we were kind of...

We waited a long time. Yeah, yeah. It's been awesome. I'm going to watch that one. Yeah, that's good. That's everything, right? Yeah, that's everything. What do you think about the rumors of Nicholas Holt for

Lex Luther. I don't know. Okay, why? You can pull it off? I think he can pull off pretty much anything. It's very hard to picture... I think it's hard to picture a Lex without a Superman. It's hard to picture what they're doing right now in general, and he wouldn't have

been the first person that came to mind for me. Do you see the rumor, the kid that they think that they got for the Superman? No. All right, so David Coren Sweat is the guy's name Perfect. David Cored Sweat is the guy's. I don't know anything about him. Oh, we own the city, Pearl, the politician. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I haven't seen, but he, but the fan, I got to show you this picture I can find it about it. It was so, it was great. It was great. So I don't know, I don't know if he can act, but there's another guy, this guy, Wolfgang somebody that the audience kept telling me about, and they're saying that this guy,

the fact is it looks like they're going to get an unknown, which is good, but that's cool. The two people rumored are Nicholas Holt for Lex Luther, and then what's Rachel Brosnan from Mazenhan. Brosnahan from Maisel. She's rumored for Lois. Okay. I can see it.

Yeah, I could definitely see that. This is making me sound like such a hater, which I'm so not. I fucking love Rachel Brosnahan. Lois Lane is a character. It just irks me so much. Yeah, I have a really hard time with, I actually liked, I really like Lois on Superman and Lois, but I just don't think any of the movies have done Lois justice. Margo Kidder?

I don't think any of the movies have fully done lowest justice. Because it's an out. She's an antiquated character, kind of. Like, sometimes they don't make her as journal, like her, if she's not a journalist at her core, if she's a damsel in, damsel in distress like she is most of the time in a lot of the movies, I, it piss, it just annoys me. I'm going to, so some of them I'm going to agree with, she's about as reporter as you get in Richard Donner. Yeah, but do you not think damsel?

she gets some damsels Yeah Like when she's falling off She's in she's holding on to the helicopter It's over and over and over again It happens to her a lot Yeah In those movies

But she's but she's about as a porter as you get And she's excellent Like it's not no issue with any of the actors Or actresses at all Like straight up across the board I don't have an issue with any of the actresses Who have played Lois Just as a character

I think we need an adrenaline But we need some kind of shot in the arm We need a little bit of a switch up. And I love Rachel Bousahan. And she could definitely do that maybe because she is really quirky. It's very nice. I met her at the Critics Choice Awards a few years back. And I was talking to her about stand-up comedy and stuff.

And she was like, I really liked her. That she was really nice. Yeah. The show is incredible. Who's the Fleabag actress? Phoebe Waller Bridge. I think she would be a good, Lois. I think she would be fun and quirky.

They look similar. Yeah. And she's just, she's tall. I'm curious to see that indie. She's going to, yeah. That Lugie said, new scene in Indy? I haven't said. It's an extended scene.

But anyway. I think we're good today. Oh, we did good. I like what we did here today. We did. It was nice to see you. What are you doing? Where can I find you?
