Listen to this del Toro thing about him in Star Wars. I knew it. Six years ago, I knew it. You know why? Because he told me, me and Perry Nemeroff. But we never said a word, but he just admitted it. So now I can say, I remember when he told me. He did tell me what it was about, and he kind of hinted about it. I can't tell you all the way through,

but if you read his tweet, you kind of know what it was about. There's also a lot of other things. Two of you about Star Wars, there was a poll that was going on with Star Wars One Piece Marvel, kind of the back and forth of what it all means, the fan bases,

and we'll talk about that. Speaking of Marvel, Deadpool 3 is going to deal with that, the Fox era. That and more on today's show. We're going to really dive into it, and we're probably talking about eggs. What do you prefer?

scrambled, fried. Yeah, I'm not kidding you. It's a major topic that I don't care if you want to hear about it. That's the kind of show we're doing here today.

All right, let's get into it. It's Brett Sheridan. It's me. Here we go. It's a big thing. What's up, one and all? It's the big thing. I don't know if you're listening to us on the YouTube's Apple Podcasts, Spotify.

Anywhere podcasts are found. I hope you're doing that. Where are you doing that? I'd like to think there's a family gathered around a radio. like an old fashion Orson Mall style Just just ready Here they are

Yeah they are pot Our programs on Gather Did you finish your peas Jimmy We this morning We put shoes and beef Our animated show on the YouTube

Did exactly what I thought I would do But my kids love it Like my youngest loves it Like this morning She's like put on shoes and beef To watch shoes and beef And she was doing

She's like Singing along with it And she's at the And she's like, but wait a minute. I don't have brown eyes. There's a picture at the end. Yeah, she's pissed off about that. But she was listening to the credits.

It was pretty good. We're going to talk about some things here, Brett, and I thought about it overall. Just a couple moving news stories, because there's a good one that came out with Del Toro. But I was like, let's just mess around today. Eggs? Yeah.

I'm serious. I'm curious about the eggs. But we'll talk about that in just a minute. The funny thing is with the eggs, Well, let's just start with the other. Yeah, come on. Don't bury the league. No, I'm not going to bury the late.

Because I know when we're doing shorts, this is going to be the one that gets like a million views. Yeah. How do you like your eggs? That's the one thing. And we want people to put in the comments. How do you like your eggs? Do you like them? Scramble? Do you like them over easy? I never got the over easy part. The runny stuff. I don't really understand it. People love it. Friday eggs, fried eggs sandwich, put a little bit. When you go to a deli in New York and you put the, you put the, you. the fried egg with the bacon on a bagel with a little cremchise. It's great. Not usually what I prefer. I prefer the scrambled. Your scrambler.

Yep. I prefer scramble with a little salt, a little pepper. Okay. A little parsley. Just a little bit. Fancy. A little bit. And then, you know, and I'm off to the races.

I'll put, like, what I do sometimes on an English muffin, I'll put a little cream cheese, just a little. On an English muffin, toast it real good. Put a little piece of turkey bacon on. on it. That's my breakfast. Mine, it takes a very, very precise cook to it. I'm the over medium. I don't want any of that white

to be loose at all, but I love the yolk to be loose. So there's a fine line where they'll make an over medium where there's a little bit of the white. You send it back? No, because I used to work. It's like, yeah, it's just barreled through it. But I have a method when I'm cooking it myself, where it kind of poke little holes around in the white so that it cooks a little faster.

But, yeah, over mediums my jam and, like, just running out over onto the... You know, I've been doing a lot to my buddy, who is a chef, tell me this, like when I was in that... Remember that 2016 freaking... I was on that dietude for a year and was the best shape I was in my life

and I was the healthiest I'd been. I want to get back to that so bad. I was at, like, under 200, for the first time and God knows how long. But anyway, one of the things that I would do every morning was it was four eggs a day in the morning, but it was one egg yolk and the rest of an egg white. And it was great. And I would put it with one slice of like wheat toast with it and fantastic.

But sometimes you can put a little, just a little, like a sprinkle of garlic powder in there too. And that'll give it a little kick. Yeah, I love eggs. The tough thing for me is if I'm trying to do the low carb. thing. If I got that loose egg, no, I'm saying if I I like eggs with toast. Yeah, right, right. But like if I'm trying to do the low

carb thing, that runnyness just as I don't know where I'm supposed to put that, because that was to just be sapped up with the, so then I'll try avocado underneath or something, but it's, yeah, it's, oh man, the struggle is real. I got to tell you what the struggle is. And I know this. There's always

that, and I've answered Twitter polls with this. People will say, what's the one hot take on food that you have that everybody loves, that you don't, if I could physically have a fist fight with an avocado, I would. I hate avocados. Really? I know. I hate it. The only time I can get away with eating avocados and not worry about it

is in like a piece of sushi or something. Okay. Is it a piece of sushi like a little, I'm like, okay, it doesn't bother me and sometimes it adds to it. There's, I don't like the texture. I don't know what it is. People, what about guacamole? Guacamole can go fuck itself. I don't, I'm not a guacamole. My kids, my wife, love the avocados. They love them. They love them.

They love the avocados. I can't deal with it, Pratt. I hate it. You love the avocados. Oh, I love it, too. And it's one of the green, it's one of the few green things that our children will eat. Yeah. Very good for you.

We call it just green dip since they were little. We don't call it guacamole because we wanted to take, you know, that away from the Latin people. Like, no, we're making this a white dish now. But yeah, love the guacamole. I don't, I have got into. There's your viral clip of the day. Yeah. But have, I've never done the thing where people do like avocado.

Because in a lot of countries, avocado is considered a sweet item and not a savory item. So, like, they make like, you know, smoothies and things with it. I don't know, like chocolate avocado shake. I don't know. Look, you never, there's stranger things. I'll tell you the other thing that's really stupid to this day, and I get it, you're not gonna change it, it's just how it is.

They should make a law. Tomato is a fruit. I know, I know. People still don't realize it, but it's like, it's not, but it is. It's like you don't, when you think, let me have a piece of fruit, you're not tearing into a tomato,

you're tearing into, it's like, I get it where it grows, and the definition of it, it's stupid. You put it in salad. That's just so people can do Um, actually moments. I'm actually It's a hundred percent right. It's a fruit. Lonnie's been a growing... For people who don't know, tell them who Lonnie is.

Lonnie is my wife. My wife has been growing... For the people at home. It has been growing tomatoes out on our porch. She got heirloom tomatoes. Oh, I love me. And, you know, this whole thing where the tomato doesn't taste as good

because it's been genetically modified or whatever. I've never been a big tomato person. I slice these up and put salt and pepper on them, and they're so good. Grow your own food, people. Yeah, if you're able to do it, for sure. No, even if you're not able. Just do it.

You know what you do? Go to someone else's house. Sneak into their backyard and start growing stuff in their garden and then just show up and say, what's happened? want to get my tomatoes. Oh, you're the one that's planting the tomatoes? Listen, and if you're

driving an old car or something, get a new one. But if you, but if you, but if you, but this is how you do that as well too. If you're driving down the street and you realize that day that you want a new cart, just get out. Just get out. Just get out of the car and walk, leave it wherever you want. Yeah, you don't want that car.

I had an experience this morning. I was walking the, I was walking the dog and we were coming back across the street and I live, you know, residential street and majority of wherever you live the residential street. People love to go 100 miles an hour down the other street. So I lived close to a traffic light.

And so here's, I'm walking across the street with the dog, and I'm walking across the street. And this guy starts moving pretty fast. And I'm walking and right to my house. And he goes, and I was just over it. I go, I go like this, Brett. But I'm not, I'm not angry. I'm like. Ready you have a little con.

And he goes, he was, I was going. And I'm like, you were going fast. in a residential neighborhood as a kids, dogs, and he goes, I was going about, you know, 30, whatever, two, and I'm going too fast. Yeah. Where are you are right now? I said, but you were even going a little faster than that.

And he goes, but I give this guy props because he goes, all right, all right. And he left. And he left. Good, good. But he didn't fight. He didn't. He's like, all right, all right. You got all the respect in the world for me.

Yeah, exactly. It's like, we're all human. We all do stuff like that. It's people, even when they, even when they know. they're in the wrong and they're going, come on, come on. And then they realized later that this shit, like, I could have handled it different. That guy handled it perfectly.

And I just went and took off. What is it in the human psyche that makes us fight things when we know we're, like, you've gotten in a road rage situation with somebody where you're like, yeah, I was in the fall. I was in the war. Right, because it's like, it's dukes up. And it's also, it's mentally where you are that point of the day. it's I've been in a place where I've known I was in the wrong and I've gone hey I know sorry and then it's amazing it's amazing that when you do that the most people will go because if people are

waiting for you to go after them but if you do the sorry they go all right because you're emitting fault well good yeah it's like there's some I mean it depends on what you do but it's like you crossed over I'm sorry I didn't see it like I've I've been driving and I was you know whether I don't know what, I remember there was one time I didn't see it was going to make like a right hand turn and there was somebody about to cross and like, hey! And I almost hit me and I go, I didn't see you, I'm sorry.

And they go, okay. Because you're not, because you're not, people always looking for some shit. They're always looking for some shit. And then when you realize, I'm like, okay, okay, you ever cut somebody off that you know? No. Or you ever like, or even like the one time that, not necessarily that I know,

knew, but like a famous person. Yeah. And I cut him off and he fucking lost his mind. And I went, oh, that's the guy that fucks the pies in American pie. It was Jason Biggs. One time I cut him off. And he was pissed, dude. And I was like, I didn't start yelling.

He was like, hey, Jason Big. That was it. He's like yelling at. And then I actually met him briefly. Nicest guy in the world. But I wasn't going to be like, hey, I cut you off once. and you lost your fucking mind. I had an altercation with a woman who, like,

I was kind of pulling up like this. By altercation, do you mean sex? Yeah, sex. Sexual artication. Arctic monkeys. We fucked in the Arctic. I'm pulling, I'm, like, waiting for the spot, and she, like, drove around me and pulled into the spot,

like she had been waiting before. And I let out some expletives, you know, some of them starting with B and C Oh wow I'm going crazy on this woman And It's kindergarten

I get into it was It was a party for my commercial agent And sure enough She was one of the clients Didn't she recognize you? I don't know I think she did But we kind of avoided each other

But it was just like Eopsie That's it But I mean like I'm here And she pulled around You always got to be careful if you're on your way to an appointment and you're pulling in somewhere

and you haven't met somebody, you never know if they're going to be in that meeting. You just got to be. It's true. It's the emotion of it. And like the, again, humans are always looking for a scrap. How do you think the aliens are? Yeah, well, the aliens are going to,

that's the problem. The problem is that everybody's going to be, like, freaking out that there's an alien and they're going to want to scrap. Yeah, the problem is I think that that lady probably was an alien. Yeah. They're all here. Speaking of aliens, the Star Wars has a lot of aliens and Del Toro, man. Our buddy Josh Horowitz on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, talked to David Goyer. All right. So this report comes from Dark Horizons. Man of Steel and Batman began scribe

David Goyer has revealed that at one time he was writing a Star Wars film that had been directed, would have been directed by Germel de Toro, appearing on the latest episode of Josh Harwitz, happy to say I Confused podcast. Gory revealed the information whilst talking about the recently finished second season of his acclaimed Apple TV series foundation. Goya says that the unproduced Star Wars screenplay was done about four years ago and it's a cool script separately. He also wrote a scriptment for Origin of the Jedi film that would have been set 25,000 years before the events of the Skywalker saga. That puts the project in line with the same time period that filmmaker James Mangold is planning to tell his dawn of the Jedi film. Following that reveal, Deltoro confirmed

the news in a social media posting saying true can't say much maybe two letters j and bb is that three letters neither goyer or del toro are writing or directing any of the upcoming star wars films goyer did work on a published star wars property with the vader immortal game um okay so that being said what i can say is this i had um perry nemeroff and i think perry had deltoro in for Collider at one point when we were talking. He, he this that was yeah, it was four years ago or around those lines and he told us exactly what it was that he's working on, but he asked us not to say anything to this day. Wow. Never said anything. Never said a word, but now that this came out. I still not going to until the actual words come out. I mean, if you put it together and you

look at what you can guess, do you see the J and the B and the B, what would you guess? That would be J.B.B. Perfect. I would know I honestly was looking. I'm going, J. B, B. I want you to guess. Oh, Java. I didn't, I didn't say anything.

I didn't say it. I said it. I want you to guess. And I didn't say a word. And then Bork Blarnster. Yeah, I didn't say anything. All I said was guessed. That's what you guessed.

Oh, B.B. I get it. That's what you guessed. But, nonetheless, David Goyer, who worked on the Vader Immortal stuff and worked on these other things

and, and, him talking about that. The other point of it is they've been sniffing around that way before origin thing for a long time now. Now, if Goyer was working on something, Beniof and Weiss were apparently working in that time period, and now you got mangled working on that time period. It seems like they've been wanting to do that for quite a while. But I'll tell you, I'm

a big Del Toro fan, by the way. I mean, as a human being, you cannot meet a sweeter individual who legit cares about his work, cares about the people around him, remembers you, what a sweetheart of a human he is. He really is. And I loved Pinocchio. Did you watch Pinocchio?

No, I have that. Oh, dude, it was fantastic. I loved Pinocchio. Now, when I say this, I feel similar to him the way that I do about Taika and Tidi, and I'll explain it. Taika's movies outside of, I mean, even his big budget, there's a lot of big budget stuff of Taikas that I do like,

but when it's Taika all in, right? And he's writing everything. It's like it's a very specific, it's Taika's movie. I didn't like Thor Love and Thunder. Now, with Del Toro, if you're giving him a movie, like a big budget act, it becomes a Del Toro movie. I like when he does his own thing, like a Pinocchio, those types of things because the big budgets,

I mean, he did Hellboy, and he was great, on Hellboy. And the one that I love, my favorite movie is, oh my God. Oh, it's driving me nuts. Oh, I was going to say Pan's Labyrinth, but I didn't think that that was what James. I just couldn't get there. Pan's Labyrinth is my favorite Del Tor movie, hands down. And that type of stuff, original thing, or I don't even necessarily know where it comes from,

but he put it into the forefront. It wasn't like a recognizable IP that everybody knew. Star Wars under Del Toro would have made me nervous. What did you guess it was? His movie, Star Wars movie? Oh, Jabba the Hut. Let's say hypothetically, that's what it was. That would make me, that would, I also don't think you need it.

Because unless they were going to do it along the lines of what they were going to do when they pitched the Boba Fett series. When you saw that trailer and you heard John Favre, he was talking about Godfather in the Star Wars world and Sopranos in the Star Wars world, I do feel that out of the two of them, Deltoro probably would have delivered on that more. You probably would have got a darker Star Wars and maybe...

Oh, definitely darker. Yeah. Maybe that's why they kind of pulled back from it. Maybe it was too dark. I don't know. That I have no idea. And I don't even know if that was necessarily the one they were talking. I want to see like a little baby Jabba.

And he was nice. to begin with and he got picked up on a lot and then he became Jabba. That's probably what they would have done. Oh, it's okay, Jabba, honey. No, you need to, you need to just keep your head up and just keep going to school and eventually those bullies will be your friends. All right. I won't pack concrustibles anymore. Just the only little three-legged frogs.

Is that what he eats? Or no, there. Perfect. Anyway. So, yeah, having an ingoier and him involved, I don't know, who knows? Like, right, that's very, very, the landscape changed dramatically in four years. And look, it was even before that when we had an opportunity to talk to him. It was easily, easily probably five years.

But like going into that, of maybe they were kind of developing it more so. But the landscape has changed dramatically from Rise of Skywalker coming out to, they still haven't had a movie come out since. Isn't that crazy? Mike and I were talking about this on, there hasn't been one Star Wars movie since Rise of SkyWker. Oh, that's right. It's nuts. And then they've had all these different shows, and now Asoka is to talk of the town right now.

But yeah, man, it's pretty crazy to think that all these different actors and directors and writers that were attached to it. I think, like I said, I would much rather see Deltour do. I like when he does his own thing. Yeah. He's just such a visionary. He's just, he's a guy that I want. And the other thing with him, like Pacific Rim, fun movies. Way too expensive.

Like, way too expensive. My man likes to spend. and it looks great when he does. But when he's got the money, he doesn't, that's the thing with him. You give him $20 million, you give him $5 million, he's going to make you the best piece of art

you've ever seen with detailed characters and all that. But if you're going to say, you're hiring him on for a big studio budget, he's going to go, okay, well then I want you to give me this, this and this. And then the next thing you know, like Pacific Rim, I want to see how much that movie cost.

The first movie, how much was that budget? Yep. While you're looking it up, I think that it would have been an interesting Star Wars film, and people would, but people would have been like, eh, it was too del Toro-y. It didn't fit the Star Wars lore or whatever. So. I don't think Jabba needed to have sticks growing out of his head. Right. I think they're both around 150, 200.

Now, today's standard, not, for that movie, 150 at that time, I think is way too high. Today, you'd probably be 150. It's not that bad. You know, if you're doing a Marvel movie for 150, okay. If you're doing certain, I mean, look, Blue Beetle was 120. Her also in 2023, as opposed to like 2015 or 2016, whatever that movie came out. So who knows what he'd spend today? I thought 150 back then was too much. But either way, I think this is a good thing that it never happened.

As cool as it would have been to see him do Star Wars. I want to. He's just, he needs to be doing it. his own thing the way that he's doing it because he's just he's the best that pinocchio movie was awesome you should see it yeah it's awesome uh all right speaking of stars speaking of marvell speaking of all that stuff i do have this to tell you guys that i thought was interesting all right star wars marvel one piece top fan studies is dark horizons by the gman star wars has beaten out marvel in a major new survey of u.s and uk entertainment fans by

data film fandom which owns outlets like game spot metacritic tv guide screen junkies and more interesting Their Inside Fandom studies surveyed 5,000 fans, along with their own first party day from this year, which assesses the impact of franchises in entertainment gaming. The result is a list of 25 franchises across film, TV, and a gaming that... The result is a list of 25 franchises across film, TV, and gaming that shows a distinct preference for established universes as 72% of respondents are more likely to try out a franchise extension than a brand-new IP. The list sees Star Wars on top of the perfect score of... 100.

My man G-Man loves whilst. What is that word? Whilst? Whilst the Witcher and the Walking Dead are tied at the bottom of this top 25 at 48. Marvel was second with 87. Anime and now live action franchise One Piece came in third was 72,

game series The Elder Scrolls was fourth, Harry Potter was fifth, Barbie was six, Yellowstone was seven, The Last of Us was eighth, The Eighth, Fallout, and Disney Tide for Ninth was 62. The main rivals of the two top brands, Star Trek and DC, we're down in the 19th and 17th place. Yada, yada, yada. Okay, this is also, there's a lot of things here. The first part of this is that we're in a, it was only 5,000

people. I mean, when you say 5,000 people, if you and I were going to do an event, we're like, well, we got 5,000 people, a lot of people. But when you're polling people to say, like, okay, what's the top brand in charge right now? And you only get 5,000 people, where are you interviewing those people? Where are you getting those people from? You know, what's, That's part one. All of America. Maybe. Part two is that we're in,

Asoka just is on the air right now. Marvel's been in a bit of a downslide, the last couple of things that they've done. They're coming off of a disappointing secret invasion series. So it's a little bit of a loaded question, right? Same thing with Harry Potter. Harry Potter hasn't really had much. They had Fantastic Beast,

and even though the video game just came out, tough to say. And then the third one piece ranks as high as it did at number three because it's like one of the most popular shows on television right now. So it's a little loaded at the moment. Because if you asked this question in 2019, Marvel buries Star Wars. I mean, it buries it because of end game and everything else too.

So at end, the question is how many people? I'd love to see how many people. I want to do something on the YouTube channel and just say just a poll on the YouTube channel because normally we can get like any between three to six thousand votes there. I'm just going to put, I'll put those, I'm going to say there was a study that came out, and these were the top three, which is your preference out of these top three? And I bet you, I bet you that it's a different result from the one if it goes over 5,000.

I agree. I agree. That's, that's, you know, yeah, 5,000 is a small, small test. That's like the, what was it, whenever we take the kids of the doctor, the pediatrician would say, like, well, they're in the 90th percentile according to 100 kids in Iowa. Like, they're testing just a few kids, and it's... That's what I mean.

It's like, who's, who's, who is it? Who's polling and who's doing that? I don't... Well, yeah, it's a plane. What the heck? A plane? Well, no, I looked, I thought it was the, I thought it was that coming on,

and then it would, didn't, and it was just very, I didn't know you had planes that loud. here. We've got it by our house like crazy. Oh yeah, I'm sure. I mean, that's why I'm saying you probably like have it's just, yeah, you wake up. I'm coming in, search! It's like airplane.

Yeah. Anyway, what do you guys? Just, you can let me know in the comments. Come on. Come on. What are you doing? You're sitting around just listening. I know you, I know you chimed in about the eggs. Yeah. If you didn't, that should be the first thing.

By the way, if the first thing that you didn't comment on in this video today was how you like your eggs, then you failed yourself. that's all I want to see. I don't care. Listen, I don't care if it's one comment that just says scrambled, over easy. I want this to be

just to show that I, just to prove, Brett and I do shows, and we do shows. I've had people, I've had Diego Luna on this show. I've had people, and it does, what is it, 200, 300, 400 comments. I bet you if I ask everybody to comment what fucking eggs they're like, we're going to get to

a thousand comments. So, I don't care if it's fried. I don't care if it's scrammed. Even if it's poached. Those poached, oh. I don't care if you crack an egg on your face and it drips into the side of your mouth. I want you to tell it, even though we've talked about Del Toro, possibly doing Star Wars, even though we've talked about this poll, I don't give a shit if you put that that's what you want to talk about. If you do, great. I welcome it. Get those eggs out there, baby. Get the eggs. And I'll tell you what. And it's not a bad habit. Because there are a lot of bad

habits out there. And if you want to break a bad habit with a good habit, let me tell you about Fume. All right, guys, this episode is sponsored by Fume. Bad Habits, man. A lot of people have bad, bad habits, and bad habits can really kick your ass, and they can mess with your health. They really can set you back. I've seen it, been around it, and I know. And when you see this, the first thing you go, what is that? The first thing you should know is that's not a vapen. It's not electronic. It's natural. That's why I'm on board in the first place. What is it then? It's a device. and it helps you quit nasty habits, and that's why I was on board right away when they reached out.

At first, I'm not going to lie. I was skeptical. I didn't know. I was like, I don't know. That's not really my thing. It's like, wait a minute. You're not breathing in nasty chemicals with this. And what it is, it's a legit, it's just fresh air.

It's natural air. It is flavored air. That's it. You heard me. Air. And it flavors. It is a great way to replace nasty habits. There is no nasty chemicals,

none of the stuff that creates bad habits. And that to me was like, wait a minute. So you can actually turn a bad habit and you just make it a good habit because it ain't messing you up and it ain't hurting you. Because I said, wait a minute, flavored air? And I said, it just feels fresh. They sent me one of them. And I said, okay, great, cool. It's pretty well-weighted.

It's perfectly balanced and it's very easy to fidget with. Stopping is something that everybody puts off because it is hard. But if you switch to fume, it is easy and it's enjoyable and it's fun.

So moving on over, there is other stuff that we can talk about here. Brett Magoo. Boom. Is that what they used to call you in high school? Oh, De LaRoux.

That's what it was. Sorry. How's everything else going with what's the latest? Do you get into any scraps? You know, I'm always a little scrappy. A little scrappy. A little scrapping? No, I've been all right.

I just, again, I think I was telling you beforehand, I was driving with the boy. Oh, yeah. He's got three more classes left. And I get too, like, chill. Like, I'm sitting there. I'm like, I'm trying to be all cool, dad. I'm like, yeah, no, you're doing great. And he's doing a great job.

And then I was telling you, last night, he was pulling into a parking spot, not any sort of weird crazy parallel parking. Right. Pulls in, kind of hits the curb. It's a nice rounded curb. so I'm not like freaking out, but it kind of jarred him a little bit, and then he slammed on the gas instead of the brakes,

got like an inch away from the car and stopped. And I was like, I'm up. Yeah, we're good. He's like, why did I do that? And he was just like, oh, I'm like, you won't do it again. Is he, is he athletic? Oh, yeah.

Okay. Yeah. So does he, but is he clumsy? No, not at all. I just, is, so my, the reason I, My oldest is very clumsy. My youngest is not. But it's weird because my youngest is a little bit more,

and she's more coordinated and she's more athletic, but she's more accident-prone. And I remember Blake, there's a video that we showed. It's the scariest thing you'll ever see for her parent. So Brett showed him to this, I think it was on Collider Live, and they were coming out of this, was it the gallery? Yeah, came running out of the back. Came running out of the back, and a car hit him.

But he didn't get hurt, thank God. But it was the one, it was as a parent, it was terrifying. I can only imagine what it was like for him. But he gets himself in situations like this. Yeah, this was just, and it happened to our friend Leif, his daughter pulled up into somebody's yard doing the same thing. It's getting used to that, you know, which one's the brake, which ones the, you know, the gas. And it's once they hit it, it's almost like you're being electrocuted and you're stuck in that position. But yeah, I think both of them worked out.

fine. Ours could have been worse. Well, no, they could have both. She could have ran into the house. It's like one of those videos you see scrolling on Instagram now. Like, all these different things that kind of pop up. But I was just like, I mean, we were like kissing that bumper on that other car.

So we just go to parking lots. Yeah. And I wasn't even, it wasn't even, it was like he had plenty of room. He didn't have to do like the bad. It was just like a quick little thing. I'll drop him off at soccer. But yeah, we're getting him used. I let him drive home from school. now.

When you have moments like that, though, do you just go, maybe you just stick to the bike. Yeah, you know what? Yeah, I got to be like, oh, you know, shit happens, you know, but you'll, you'll not do that again, you know. Right. But it's like terrifying inside of your head. Oh, yeah, you're just like, oh, we almost destroyed the back of that car. Do we even have the permit with us? What would have happened?

Do we call that? Yeah, and he's out by himself driving. You're like, Dad, good news, bad news. Yeah. The good news is that I hit something. but it wasn't human. The bad news is I killed four cats. Yeah.

I ran them right over and they were sleeping. It's like, where, how did you get them? Well, that's the other part of the bad news. It was in some of the living room. It's so, I just, I look back at driving stuff and a buddy of mine slammed into like one of those poles just in a parking lot on an accident coming around. Like, there's so many dumb things that can happen. Well, especially when, well, that's the ironic part of it is that happens to you when you're

first learning how to drive, and then once you start to get to that 80, 81, 82, then you're just like, it starts to go. And I was thinking about this this morning. It's like, my youngest was talking about it because her birthday's coming up. And she's like, you know, and then I'm going to be seven, and then I'm going to be 10. I'm like, she's going to be 10 in 2007. And I was like, thinking about when we were kids and thinking about like what 2007, what we thought it was going to look like. And we thought there was going to be flying cars. Oh, of course.

And I was thinking about it, though, even though, if you looked at like, if you went back like 1985 and you're like, what's 2023 going to look like? And you're like, well, we're going to have these things that you can talk to everybody with on your phone. I have a video that I could send to you. I can talk to you through video. I can talk to you if I went to China. I could talk to you and it would be fine.

I have a thing. We have this thing called, you know, there's AI now. You can do a, you can do pictures and you can make, and they'd be like, whoa, that sounds like a crazy future. But because it's just like, by the way, and they're working on cars that are driving themselves too. And right now a lot of the cars are crashing into shit and all that. Of course. Somebody got killed. Tons of people.

But it's like, but the thing is, and it's not to, not to devalue anybody that's been hurt or killed or anything too, but you got to break some eggs when it comes to a lot of stuff. And there's going to be setbacks and there's going to be other things. But cars will be driving themselves. There's something I saw. They already have been working on a flying car. Did you see that? No. Dude, they're working on a flying car.

This one, it's not even close to a route. That's when everything blows up. Yeah, exactly. And I think we'd have flying cars by now if it weren't for these. I think this has slowed down any sort of creativity in people's minds. And also it's like, oh, yeah, and you can, I could video somebody in China, do you? No, no, we don't use the video. But that's what I'm worried about that with flying cars, right?

You're flying a car. You're on your phone. Yeah. But if you get to a place, and this is the same thing where I was talking about, like when we talked about it on that show, the infamous show last week, with the simulation theory, right? What the hell is tech going to look like? What is all this stuff going to look like in 200 years from now?

Yeah. If the human race is still around, 200 years from now. Like, what is that going to look like? If you're able to do all this shit, like, If you're able to put virtual reality on your head right now, not be fooled. By the way, speaking of virtual reality, I don't know if you guys have noticed this, but each video, this is something that YouTube's been doing, and I realized that recently when you start the video,

I don't know how long it lasts throughout the video, but it says search products, look at products that pop up. For a long time, and I used my, I used to be called Oculus, now it's meta, whatever. The virtual reality, I use it for working out, I use it for all these different things, and I love it. I use it every single day. I love it. And for a long time, people are like, well, why don't you, why don't you get a sponsor?

I'm like, ain't that easy. You just go get them for a sponsor. And like, well, because of you, I went out and I got it. Well, good news for me and good news for you is that when you search those products now, if you get any of those products that are out there, the channel will benefit from it. And it's stuff that you want to. There's like PlayStation's in there. There's like all these different things.

If you get any of those products that are in there, the channel benefits from it. So if you want to, and you're able to, check it out. It's like sneakers and shit. I put a whole bunch of, you can put like 25. Yeah, you put like 20, 30 products in there when you start. And it's like, I just put stuff in there that I think people will like. So if you see that, when you see that on videos, if you see, see products, know that that's kind of what that is.

I don't think they explain it very well. But either way, like with virtual reality and the way that it looks now, it's like Atari in like 1984. Oh, yeah, of course. You know what I mean? Like what that's going to be in 200 years? Flying cars to me still seem way off Because we still, I mean like we still haven't People can't even figure out blinkers

You know yet Which is what my son's realizing is like Nobody puts their damn blinkers Like yeah, you just have to assume That person's gonna try to pull in front of you And then you gotta navigate I told my daughter this already She's five years away

God, I can't believe she's five years away from driving Which is scary But she's five years away from driving And I told her, I'm telling her now, like, always assume that the person in front of you is a bad driver. Yeah. Because you cannot, like, when I drive, dude, like, I'm always looking on corners, like, Oh, you've got a scan. Way ahead of me, I'm looking because I don't trust anyone.

Because a lot of times, people, when they walk in the crosswalks, like, well, this is this magical line. It's safe. I'm okay. assume that everyone is going to run you over. Always be looking around. Always like people who do walk across the thing. Like, well, it's the crossway. I'm in the right way.

That's not untrue. But why do you trust people? It's like... Yeah. My biggest pet peeve, though, is like, it's dark out. You're dressed in all black and you're on your phone not paying attention. And I'm trying to take a left. And it's like suddenly you appear out of nowhere.

It's like, I'm telling you, man, you got to old. Always look at human error. Just what we were talking about before. Like I said, the accidents happen sometimes. And do not always be on the lookout. Always be on the defensive. When you're driving, always be on the defensive. Never assume that the person in front of you is going to do the right thing.

Always assume they're going to do the wrong thing. I think that I've been in, I've been jinxing it now, but I've been in very few accidents in my life. Very few. And I would say maybe one of them was my fault. And what I was doing was there was like all these different. cars coming in and they had slowed down and I made a, I'm like, okay, I can get through these cars because they'll slow down. And I'm just, I'll make the left now. And I made a left. And as I made the left on the far lane, somebody came flying through it and nailed me. I was in the wrong

because, like, I made that laugh, didn't see them. They were in the right from where they were going. They were going fast, but didn't matter. So I was, I was in the wrong on that one. But same thing. That person, look, again, look because the person. Yeah, me was doing the wrong thing. Look, because I'm always paying attention that, like on the opposite side of that. If I'm driving down that way, I'm like, is there any ass-all coming? There's a blind spot. Yeah, man.

Always. I think the big thing is that gets us in trouble is anytime, I think accidents happen, anytime somebody feels like they're in a hurry unnecessarily. Like, if you don't, you know, most of us, even if we're running late, don't need to do stupid shit and pull across things and drive around people and stuff like that. And that's where the accidents happen is when you're in a hurry and you're just, you know, not paying attention. I was that same spot where I got hit years beforehand.

I was very, I was, I almost outran a cop, meaning I was coming through and I don't know what I did. I either had my blinker. I did something blinker or went fast or maybe I just went past the red light or something along the lines. And I remember going, oh, shit, I think that the cop's going to nail me here. So I'm like, and all those people were coming through. And I was like, if I make the left, all these things are going to come through. He's going to probably just give up. And its one car right went through.

And then all the traffic came. So like the cop comes up behind me. Whoop, whoop, like, back. But I was like, had I gone through? Because my apartment at the time was right there. So I would have been able to go get to the apartment and run upstairs. I always wonder what would have happened if I would have gotten away, but I didn't. Got nailed for a speeding ticket.

Or it was a speeding? I don't remember what it was. Anyway. So let us know, speeding tickets, eggs. What do you got going on there? No, I want the eggs. I want to know that. That was a weird egg thing you like.

Unpopular opinion. I like just eggs cooked on a sidewalk. Yeah, right. I'm telling you, what I want to see is I want brand new people to this show who've never seen it before, going into the comments section. and just seeing comments about eggs. That's all I want. Scramble, scrambled, scrambled,

fried scam. I want, like, for this, like, why does this video have a thousand comments? Because it's like, because eggs. Like, I don't care if it just says eggs. If I have to go through every comment where it says, like, sometimes it just goes to spam. And it's like, because people are just writing eggs.

I don't care. I don't care if you write eggs 47 times. I want this video. I'm in that kind of mood. I just want eggs. Eggs every eggs and cheese, eggs and bacon, eggs and eggs with a side of turkey sausage. I don't care what it is. Buttered sausage?

Butter sausage. Butter sausage. A kiss on the lips. How do we eat jam? I buy honey and I kiss it on the lips. So funny. He did a couple more, Jeff Richards, who did that video. I don't like when people steal the video, though.

Put it up and then start getting hits. I've seen people using this video and then they put it on TikTok and they get millions of views on. Stitch, yes. Stitch in coming. Stitch is different though. I don't know. Yeah, Stitch is when you're reacting to it

and you're kind of giving promotion to it. How is it there are people that are TikTok famous for watching somebody's video and just going You? You mean? That's my favorite thing. I hate. Are you still getting?

Yeah, every day. Every day. If I opened it right there. How many views is? I want to see how many views it has. If I open it right now, there's at least one like for it. Tell me how many views it has. I'm going to guess.

I'm going to say 2.1 million is how many views. So we did a video with Brett before we've talked about it on here on my Instagram. He's reviewing to, oh, have you seen Elemental yet? No, we got to watch it. So I haven't seen it yet. We should do, so I've been doing the, I just did the One Piece reactions. I did Asoka one. You and I should watch Elemental together.

Oh, definitely. And probably get 7 million views. All right, what do you got? Well, I mean, it's... Just click on the video. But this was like recent. This was yesterday that it came up. It's got...

Oh, I got to go to the original. 2.5 million. 2.5 million, okay. And 224 likes. 253 comments. Comments and 1,674 forwarding or... Do you understand how... much it would make my day. If you were walking in the mall with your family and someone

came up to you and said, you're the guy that looked at the elemental movie. And this said, looked at. Yeah. And it was the guy that looked at the elemental movie. This was the most reaction. Do the thing. Do the thing. Do the thing. Huh. There is. There it is. He did it. He did it. He did the thing.

But I put AG1 in there, and I gave it a try a long time ago because Brett Sheridan wouldn't be quiet about it. And he was right. He was absolutely right. I drink it right away.

I drink it right before my coffee, and I'm just ready to go. I just know that when I'm taking it, I'm like this, it feels good.

If you have the means. If you have the means And you know somebody that would loan you some money Look like we said We got good stuff So you want to check it out The link is in the description The comment is always the pinned

It's the first pin comment to check it up All right I want to say about this Deadpool thing Deadpool 3 deals with Marvel's Fox era To which the internet said No shit Whilst Fantastic Four And eventually the X-Men are

being fully rebooted for the MCU, the upcoming Deadpool 3, will see its pre-existing Fox Marvel franchise officially going full Marvel Studios. In doing so, it'll deliver the first R-rated Marvel Studios film and the first to properly integrate Marvel characters from Fox's films into the MCU's narrative storytelling. Patrick Stewart's Doctor Strange sequel cameo is too short to count. Production was underway from months in England until the actor-strike saw the Sean Levy directed film having to hit pause

whilst the labor dispute is on. going. He loves Walsh. Once over, it's expecting filming will begin again right away. Speaking with Total Film via Slash Film recently, Levy says, acknowledging the history of the Fox side of Marvel in the film isn't just for laughs. It's actually fairly crucial to the whole movie story-wise. Levy says, Deadpool and Wolverine are iconic Marvel characters, more specifically, iconic Marvel of the Fox era characters. We're not going to pretend. Oh, we snap our fingers and suddenly that Fox legacy doesn't exist and it shaped a lot of what we know as the MCU. Fox also shaped Ryan's career, Hugh's career and my career, so there's a lot of history there and there's a lot of Marvel history

at Fox and certainly is a part of our storytelling. Another part of that production that Levy was adamant about was going practically where possible. Love that. Marvel films in recent times have been heavily criticized for their over-reliance on digital effects and a post-production pipeline problematic enough. It has led to Marvel's own in-house VFX team becoming the first VFX workers to vote on unionize. Deadpool 3 is using location shooting for the portion of the film. Doing so led to the leaked set photos of Deadpool and Wolverine being photographed fighting on Norfolk Beach in the UK.

Levy acknowledges the leak being an unfortunate cost of doing what they're doing. He says it bums me out that the photos have leaked, but this is the price we pay for committing to relocations. I made a decision very early in prep that even though Deadpool is now in the MCU, I didn't want another Marvel movie shot on Green Stage with digital set extensions. with the production on hold. He says that he's frustrated, but feels bad for his colleagues on screen

who have to keep eating obscene amounts of protein. It's still, you know, boiled chicken, so, you know, boiled chicken, seven days. Yeah, so there's a lot of stuff he says in here that I like a lot. I love the fact, I think that the practical effects, we almost seemed that at one point, at one point, we were getting back to a balance of practical effects

and then, you know, CGI, but then with the pandemic and everything, too, and with the creation of, like, say, the volume became more of reliance again on the special effects and especially the Marvel movies have really to me a lot of the superhero movies have overdone it with the special effects and the big green screen stuff so to see more practical stuff I think that's going to enhance the movie I think that that's it's weird and maybe that's one of the reasons right leaks and expenses and it takes longer you look something like andor right andor was shot on all

It's one of the reasons why I think it was so highly regarded because it looks so much more real than any of the Star Wars stuff that they're doing. But it takes like seven, eight months, as opposed to just be able to get into the volume, get a quick turnaround, go. But what do you think about some of these comments? I think they're the best comments I've ever heard of ever. Better.

I'm a big fan of the practical stuff, and I do think that, you know, if we can do it, let's keep that going. You just always can see it. It's mostly when, like, people are flying in the air for some reason. Their limbs become, like, it's a lot of Spider-Man movements. Yeah, but it comes fodder, though. It just becomes, like, it just becomes, like, empty calories after a bit.

It doesn't, because you can, even know it looks as, and these VFXRs are so great. Oh, yeah. They're so good, but it's, like, after a while, it's just, like the same, it's like the same thing. And then when you look at something like, have you seen the flash yet? No. Okay, so when you- My wife didn't want to watch it. Yeah. I get it.

Look, when you look at that, there's some really bad CGI. And it's like, it could have, like, it's a fun opening, but not necessary. And you look at the way that a lot of the VFX artists have been pushed and the reason why they're calling for a union, and I think rightfully so. Oh, God.

They're just pushed to the brink of, like, breakdown. And they're, I mean, I don't know how much you get from, you know, I get my news from TikTok. Yeah, right. I've seen that. Yeah, where they're saying that, like, They're all, like, buying for the same job, and they'll take this guy that's cheaper

and maybe not look as good or something. And they don't give a shit. They don't care. They don't care as long as you can get it out there. But I think that is going to change now. Because I think that from what you said, and I saw that same video, and it's factual. Like the studios would say, all right,

which VFX house can do this in the turnaround that we can? We just need, we have all of our shots done. We know everything we need to do. The audience is going to, the numbers have proven that we're in a superhero kind of uptick now. Everybody's buying tickets anyway. It doesn't really matter how great it looks. Just get it out and get it done.

The audience is finally going, nah, I'm good. I don't want to see that. I'm not going to check that out. And then it also said, like, in like the Flash, right, that looks terrible. And as much as I love Andy Mushietti, his comment of saying, oh, yeah, it was intended. A horrible comment. And if it was intended, horrible decision. So, like, things like that.

And it's just, like, it's just exhausting to see, like, the same type of stuff. So to hear this, because Deadpool already, it's another one of those movies where I've been talking about it a lot. The superhero movie or the, yeah, the superhero movie is more so than the comic movie. The superhero movie is in a place of, why do I need to see this? A lot of these movies. However, there are a couple of exceptions. Like, Guardians was an exception, and there are a few exceptions. But Deadpool is absolutely at the top of the list of exceptions

because the first two movies were really good. They were really successful. It's going to be the first rated R MCU movie. And it also has, it seems, to have the most relevance into any of this multiverse stuff. So it is probably going to be one of the most successful new MCU movies. So it's understood. and it's also welcomed.

I loved these comments. I thought they were fantastic. But frustrating, though, too, you know, the idea that... I asked Kalanowski this, too. Have you been following recently? Like, oh, do you know... We even look at this. Do we know anything that happened with the writers?

Oh, the... And the... I had a meeting yesterday. Oh, no. Let me check this out. Hold on. Okay. Something I wanted to cover. Hello.

The WGA and the AMPTP talks, encouraging today. This is from yesterday. More negotiations are now set for today. Interesting. This might be something really good. Exclusive updated with a statement. The Writers Guild and studios and streamers are set to meet again today

for further talks on a new contract for scribes. After a long CEO attended session yesterday, that one insider described as very encouraging, the WGA and AMPTP. We'll return to the latter Sherman Oaks offices on September 21st, with Netflix's top brass in the room, joining AMPTP president. Just call it something else. It's too many letters.

Carol M. Bardini and WGA chief negotiator Ellen Stutzman and others. They sit down and there was an incredible progress, a source close to the events say. This is from deadline, by the way. Unsurprisingly, neither the WGA nor the AMN. P-T-P-R-S-L-M-Q WXY-Z responded to request for a comment on Wednesday's bargaining or future talks. If either side does have a statement, this post will be updated. It was updated at 5 o'clock yesterday. The WGA and the longest letters in history met for our bargaining today and we'll meet again tomorrow.

The party sent in a joint statement this afternoon. At least some, if not all, of Sarandos, Iger, Langley, Zazlov, will be part of tomorrow's negotiations we hear with the CEO gang of foreign attendance. and more talks on the books. The current state of affairs is a far cry where things were just a week ago. As of last week, the AMPCA, R-S-Q-L-P-W-X-Y-Z was insistent that the WGA hadn't formally responded

to its August 11th proposal, which the studios and streamers made public on August 22nd. The WGA has long said it did respond, yada, yada, yada, yada. All right, that's enough for me to say, that's encouraging. Yeah. I wonder, I mean, by the time of this episode, comes out today, we might have more news.

This to me is the studio's gone, we've got to end this now. Because if they're walking out, the WGA is walking out going, this is encouraging, we're coming back tomorrow. That means they're on a place where it's like, okay, then you guys are, that's more of what we want to hear. It's not like one of these things, like there's no representative for WGA, nope, there's still nowhere near it. This is, this is the beginning of the end.

Now, I don't know if it's going to end, because then you've got to get sag in there now, too. Yeah, we've got the actors, and then there's like a video game one. Yeah, yeah. You know, so things are... What do you think that? Do you think that this goes? Because everybody was talking about how January was the end. Do you think there's a possibility this thing ends this year?

If it does, then I think that the writers and the actors are settling for, well, we did our best kind of a thing. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't know how to, they've pushed it so long. Like, this is what I don't understand. The, um, A, M, P, T, T, C, C, C, C. Yeah. W.N. B, C.

Did they think people would stop striking at some point? Like, I mean, what, what, what? Yeah, they did. I remember that was that there was that inside report that one of the executives said, well, they pretty much just want to bleed out the writers and until they can't pay their mortgages and can't do all that stuff. Ron Perlman came out, like, threatening them and stuff. No, I think it's the opposite, dude.

Like, I've been bringing this up. I think that the report was something along the lines of, the amount of money that the writers were looking for would have cost the studios. And again, the numbers are wrong from where I think something upward to like 60, let's say $63 million. But the amount of money that they've lost so far is in like, is like 600 million or something along the lines like that.

Something like that. I know it's something ridiculous to where you have to have people who as much as what you want to think about their character, their intelligence is pretty high. Sitting in a room going, guys, the numbers aren't lying. We're going to keep losing money. They're not going to stop striking.

We got a cave. But we won't say it that way. We'll put it in a way that we'll give them what they're looking for and we'll come up with this deal. They had to because there's no, why would the WGA at this point go? you know what we can't do this anymore they're on the lines

dude they're they're the WGA and SAG will win this war I mean they will they'll win it and we're going to find out all the details and everything too but I think it's finally the studio's just going we've we've got a cave I think yeah yeah what do you guys think man you think this is the beginning of the end I didn't you I'm glad that I

thought about that it's like that's maybe even could have been the topic of today's show but nonetheless but it's eggs I got news for you guys I think anyway. Winston and Corey is supposed to be back for capes and cows tomorrow. Yeah. So join us tomorrow, man.

We're going to be on that show. It would be Winston, myself, Coy. We'll probably talk about this a little bit more. I don't know if we'll have an update at that point when we record. But anyway, thanks for joining us here today. I'm telling you, man, eggs. I got to hear about it. I want some now.
