Joining me to talk about the movie and if we think it's the best movie since end gaming to give her TV picks here today, Roxy Stryor. Hello, Roxy. How are you? Hello, Christian.
Starting point is 00:02:28 How are you? Wonderful. Thank you so much for asking. I'm so happy to hear it. Bullshit. Brett, how are you? Let's dive right into it, Christian. Deadpool and Wolverine are back, baby, and they're not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:02:42 This tour de force. Is that we're going to call it a tour de force? I was waiting for you to say that. I still don't know what that means. Doesn't he remind you of Robin Williams sometimes? Yes. Yes. It's crazy. It's like, right?
Starting point is 00:02:56 Where did you get the LeCroix when you're not at Christians? Oh, if you want to come to Chatsworth, Rocks, we got a fridge stocked with bubbly. we have a filtered water snap. I feel like I'm really missing out on the LeCroyd train that's being there. You know you can get...
Starting point is 00:03:15 You know you can get Bublies at the store, right? No. You didn't know that? Why don't you just put them in your fridge? I do have a couple of them in there, but I will be honest with you, my least favorite thing on the planet to buy in person is drinks.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Oh. I have a hard time carrying them. They're really fucking heavy. And like, open it being alone and getting like the lock to my gate and then the lock to the um front door and then the lock to double lock to my apartment and then turning the alarm off and having the waters i know this sounds like a crazy problem to have but it's fucking hard and i have to like put it down pick it up put it down pick it up and like scoge it with my feet people in my apartment see me every day that i get cases of water like it looks like i'm at the gym i like get down on all fours and like i have to push it across the way it's fucking hard you had me at al force go ahead christian thank you um did you ever think about maybe ordering something like on amazon or something so i order the water i order my water bottles online but there look uh amazon doesn't seem to have lecroy other than amazon fresh and i
Starting point is 00:04:24 don't do amazon fresh i've never done it before i don't really know how it works bubbly bubbly i've done amazon many times and you can amazon not fresh Prime. You just do the same thing. Let's look. I'm just going to. Not not now. But we'll, no.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Let's go shopping. But I'm an expert on this. Go ahead, Brett. If Fresh is part of Prime, you have to order a certain amount, I believe, at a time, or there's a delivery charge. And there's only certain things are in the fresh department. Like, so you're ordering in the fresh area, not the main area. So that's how it works. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Thank you for letting us. But let's get back to Wolverine, man. We should. I am bummed that Brett. So Brett was here. For people who don't know, Brett was here. The studio looks the way it does because Brett was here. And it is, I got everything in order, Brett, in the shed.
Starting point is 00:05:16 But everything I was able to. I got that other camera working. I don't know if you guys can see, but I can do what I can try to do here. I'll try to show you. We got the wide shot looking pretty good right now. Oh, that's awesome. Wait, stay there for a second. So the seat, there's the seat across from you.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Yeah, right there. There's a seat right there. And then the shot's not completely, you know, done yet, but it's close. And then there is going to be that it's not lit yet, but that's, that will be for another guest. Yeah. That's great. That's where Brett was last time. So there's the wide and then obviously back, back to me, camera one, camera two, camera one.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Let's talk about Deadpool, Wolverine. The movie, it's coming out. It stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman. And before we get into the whole question about whether or not this was the best movie since Endgame, I don't even know Roxy's thoughts. And this will be a kind of quick end of the conversation if she didn't like it. But Roxy, did you like the movie? I mean so much more than you did, Christian.
Starting point is 00:06:27 And I did. I saw your tweet. And it seems like you liked it. I thought this movie was legitimately perfect. Like from beginning to end, I thought it was flawless. I thought this movie was perfection. I just was completely obsessed with it. I was on cloud nine the entire time.
Starting point is 00:06:45 I love Deadpool. I love pop culture references. I like specifically MCU and industry references and Marvel and Fox and the whole thing just so worked for me. it's on every level, every character, every moment, from the opening sequence of opening credits to the post-credit scene. I just thought it was perfect. Yeah, I gave it on my review. I gave it a 8.2, 8.3 out of 10.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Yeah, pretty high score. I thought it was really, really good. I liked it. So my conversation is, like we said here, is it the best Marvel movies since Endgame? I think it's in the conversation. I think that and No Way Home are in the conversation. Someone said this is no way home on steroids, which I agree.
Starting point is 00:07:39 That's what I wrote. Oh, you wrote that? No, I just said that the feeling I got walking out of this is the same feeling I had walking out of no way home. Yeah, so I. Similar. Yeah, I think that it's similar thoughts. Similar of, I mean, because of the multiverse and the way that they play with certain things, what I said in my review was that this is a love letter to the Fox universe.
Starting point is 00:08:00 and the things that they did in it I thought my criticism was it was there was a lot of great jokes throughout it and I thought when they had the heart the heart was definitely there sometimes the jokes overshadowed the heart there was one time where there was a joke and I was sitting in my screening
Starting point is 00:08:16 thinking to myself this is Christian's problem with guardians not everybody can be funny and there was like a specific moment I'm trying to remember what it was not that I would share it here but I would tell you the TVA guy was not as funny as he thought he was the one the the the one tv what was his name uh paradox paradox paradox i guess his name was or
Starting point is 00:08:35 oh you don't mean matthew mcfayden okay the guy from succession yes yes yes you do mean the guy from success yes yes he he he was he he missed more than he hit huh yeah but i thought he was fine i thought he was fun i thought that the villain was subpar i thought that um i didn't think that Xavier's sister was as strong as the character should have been. And I think that, rightfully so, Wolverine and Deadpool take center stage. And their chemistry is off the charts, off the charts, so good, the back and forth. There were some really funny moments. What I was curious about was whether or not average moviegoers would like this movie because
Starting point is 00:09:26 there's a ton of references to things that are so, inside the bubble, like so inside the bubble. So inside the bubble. Right. And I brought my friend, James, who had, he'd seen Deadpool 1 and 2, and he hadn't even seen Endgame. Like, so he went, and he loved it. Loved the movie. And it was cracking up and thought it was great. And it's a very funny movie. And so when you, I guess, because you thought it was perfect, and yeah, I guess you did like it more than me. But I thought it was a really good movie. And I will say it is probably the best Marvel movie since Endgame. And the conversation is with Noah. home but I liked it a lot. I'm happy to hear that you your friend liked it because my sister's in town
Starting point is 00:10:05 right now and I was going to bring her and then we decided that she wasn't going to come because this isn't her cup of tea and during the movie I was like oh my god she would have fucking hated this she's not a comic book girl she wouldn't have understood half the stuff right you have to I think at bare minimum have seen the Deadpool movies yes um you have to have a brief understanding of who Wolverine is. I guess you don't need to have seen every one of his movies or all the X-Men movies, but it helps. Right. Like there's just so much stuff here. And of course, because it was a critic screening, everybody's seen everything. So my entire screening was like erupting with laughter every minute. Right. Because every reference, everybody clocked. But I think you could still have a good
Starting point is 00:10:48 time if you only clock 50% of the references, but not if you don't get anything. True. And the cameos were really well done. And the cameos weren't I saw like a few tweets. And I normally, as we mentioned, Bibiani, I'm usually on the opposite page with him on a lot of movies. And I'm on the opposite page with him on this one. He hated this movie.
Starting point is 00:11:08 And, um, him and Snyder both, man. That's so, well, they talked about the, the cameos and how the cameo was the only thing they were lying on. I don't agree with that. I think that the,
Starting point is 00:11:17 I don't even think some of these cameos are cameos. They're like straight out roles. And plot development. Like, there's one specific cameo where we got it for longer than I thought, I know which one you're talking about, yeah. And I was like, that's awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:31 That is absolutely awesome. Another thing, Christian and Brett, hello, I'm glad that you're still here. Another thing is that when I was watching this, I hadn't seen the most recent trailers. I had not been looking on social media. So I didn't know pretty much any of these cameos. That's good. Even the big reveal one that they did drop in the trailer recently, which I wish they wouldn't have yeah I didn't see that that's great so and it wasn't spoiled for me so I I do wish that
Starting point is 00:12:03 there had been zero trailer for this so that everybody could feel what I felt because every person that came on screen I was like no yeah there's one there's one there's one scene that they have that happen again without spoiling it that might be the funniest sequence in the entire movie with one of the cameos and it was a lot of inside jokes within that cameo but just really work and was very funny. And there's, yeah. Do you have any surprises? Yeah, I had a ton of surprises.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Good. Yeah, the only one. Let me look at this real quick. What is the benefit of having these cameo surprises in a marketing way in your trailer? Do you think that brings more people because they think they'll see more of that character? Because it sounds like to me, anytime something like that is in a trailer, people are upset because it spoils a surprise. Yeah. I don't understand why they did this last one.
Starting point is 00:12:56 The last one I don't. think they needed it. I really don't. I don't from from watching the trailer and watching the movie, the trailer, the last when they, when I saw that trailer, I was like, why did they reveal that? They didn't need to reveal that. That was, I mean, for what, for what reason? And to answer your question, but I don't necessarily think this character was one that's like, oh, well, now that that person's in the movie, I'm definitely going to go see it. Yeah. It's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At the same time, though, I want to completely agree with you. But I think this movie's about to make all of the money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:27 So who am I to say that they're doing the wrong marketing strategy with who they include? Because there are different generations and different entry points, and especially the most recent person, maybe that is for a different gen than me. Not that my gen didn't love that character, but just maybe it is appealing to a different group of people. I don't know. I would succumb to that more if that trailer would have come out two months ago. If that trailer came out a week when the ticket sales were ready through the roofs and everybody wants to see this movie and the hype is real for it. Yeah, it's weird. So there's no, like that normally, I think your point is valid, but I don't think it had anything to do with extra ticket sales on this one.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Yeah. I mean, I started with I wish they didn't. Yes, I know. Yeah, yeah. I wish they didn't. Yeah. There wasn't a lot of other ones, but there aren't a lot of other reveals in the trailer, minus that one. That, again, we all agree that they shouldn't have.
Starting point is 00:14:21 But Brett, normally, sometimes they do put those out to try, like when they, for Black Adam, for example, Black Adam, the Superman thing started leaking real fast. And the Rock pretty much said he was going to be in it, right? So that was clearly to get people into the theater because their ticket sales weren't in the direction that they wanted to. But this one is not the case. Rock said he was going to be in Black Adam. Yeah. He meant he, he was, he was marking a ton of times, like when they had every time, every time, every
Starting point is 00:14:51 time he brought it up they would be like a superman gonna be in it's too many he's like yeah superman's gonna be oh it's superman i was like the rock is black adam what are you miss superman part of it um but yeah yeah but superman they marketed superman on it for sure and yeah yeah i remember that and that made sense and that movie still didn't do as well as it needed to but this is then you have Deadpool and wolverine in your title you barely need to see anything for it yeah what's the point you don't give me away prizes is any movie ever just going to say we're actually not dropping a trailer like you all know what we do yeah you can't do that you can't do that because
Starting point is 00:15:26 because remember that's that's also you you're forgetting the regular viewers there if you don't do a trailer you got to bring awareness yeah but what if it just says Deadpool and Wolverine and then the date I mean I feel like that sells every person the same but I could be wrong what do I know when people when people are shit yeah go ahead bro as the biggest
Starting point is 00:15:47 noob of this and the one that doesn't you know like the wise eba on the show guy um for me trailers only worked for like independent films or something that i knew nothing about like yeah i was never seeking out a trailer for the next indiana jones because i loved indiana jones and i wanted to see it so i that's why i think trailers are for you guys i think they're for you guys to talk about hype up the film and then get people in there because they follow because the movie space is so huge now of reviewing and things like that which it wasn't well but i use i also again like i said i you there's a reason it's not just people reviewing trailers and doing that because these trailers do millions upon millions about millions of views and
Starting point is 00:16:32 the reason why it's because people who are at work people who are in when they're popping up on their feeds and they're getting and they're getting it shared or getting it held this movie's coming out um my friend who i took had awareness of this because he was watching the nix game and he saw a trailer for it and he saw oh yeah that the new one's coming out it brings awareness to it again if he see either did he see anything before this at all you mean like uh deadpool one show any trailer wise or the movies no movies he's seen he saw deadpool one and deadpool two but he hasn't seen he was doing like a full rewatch of the marvel movies and i think he he'd watched captain marvel and then he stopped i think he might have watched infinity or i don't know he's not not because he wasn't interested he just
Starting point is 00:17:13 things got in the way and you didn't get a chance to finish it. But he said, all right, I'm going to watch Deadpool 1 and 2. And he had already seen it, but he's revisited two before he saw this one. And yeah, and he just, he loved it. He hadn't been back to, he hadn't been to the movies since like episode 9 is the last time he was at the movies. Wow. Did you guys, they did, I thought they did something a little funny at our screening. The popcorn bucket?
Starting point is 00:17:37 I'm curious if they did this at you, Christian. Would you say? The popcorn bucket? So they only, you know, everybody goes and you get a plus one. Yeah. And they only gave the popcorn bucket to the people who were invited. Oh. And not the plus ones.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Oh, they didn't do that. I thought that was so strange. Wow. They didn't do that for us. And they did that. That was the Grove screening that I went to, but they didn't do that in Burbank. They gave it to everybody there. And it seems like everybody in New York.
Starting point is 00:18:04 They probably had a shortage of them, maybe or something at your screening. I felt bad. I gave mine to somebody that we're close with because I felt bad. People were really upset about it. And I'm trying to de-clutter right now. And I was like, here you go. But it was kind of a strange little thing. No, I had a weird experience at the New York screening.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It was a nice screening. We saw it in the IMAX. It was great. But I've never seen this before the screen. Normally for press screenings when you go, Rocks, did you know? And Brett, you've been enough of people listening in the audience. I've got a pocket nap to one. You did. That was the one in New York. But the ones, normally, they set up, there's like a table and the studio representatives. There's like two or three of them,
Starting point is 00:18:49 and they check you off. And that's it. And I usually like to get there around a half an hour earlier. So I make sure I have my seat. So I got, last night, we got off the train and we were right by, like, where the premiere was. So I'm like, oh, my God, I hope that the screening isn't where the premiere is, because that's going to be going to go to go. Will, and it's going to be a nightmare. Yeah. And it wasn't. So I was like, good.
Starting point is 00:19:11 So it was at the, it was in Union Square. So I go and I'm around the corner and I look and I walk into the theater and there's no table. I'm like, where's the table? And I said, where's, and I asked somebody like, there was a line for press to go all the way. And it was like loop back and I got the end. I was there like 45 minutes early. And I was right in the middle of the line and it was a real long line. So I'm okay.
Starting point is 00:19:33 That happens. Yeah, that happened to me too. That happens. But then it's the screening for some reason started at 8.30 at night last night, right? There's one of the schedule to start. And then it's still like 805 and nobody was going in yet. And they started moving people in and there was one lady who was letting the people in. And then by the time we got there was like 8, 15, 820 and there were still tons of people behind us like tons at 820.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And we walked out, I said to my friend, I go, was there one person checking everybody in? And I look at as sure as hell, there's one person checking everybody in. And then finally, the lady who was letting other people in, she sits down to start checking people. And there's two people doing this thing. And I'm walking up the escalator. I'm like, it is 820. This is a huge IMAX theater and a quarter of it is filled.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I'm like, there's no world where this thing is starting at 830. When did you start? 9, 10. Oh, my God. So something like that. And I got out of there, like, you know, it was like I was able to do all this, which was great. And by the way,
Starting point is 00:20:36 great experience. People were, everybody was awesome, but just that particular thing was bizarre. And then I, as I'm leaving, it's like 1115 or something
Starting point is 00:20:45 when the movie gets out and I check my, I check my phone, 1110 when the movie gets out. And I check my phone and the train is leaving at 1130 from Penn Station. So I got to catch a subway
Starting point is 00:20:56 to that one. So can I, can I do this? So when I went straight up, I go, I go across the street, I take the camera out, I do the out of the,
Starting point is 00:21:04 the theater reaction, jumped on the subway, got to Penn Station right under my train, and then made it back home. Good, yay. And I uploaded, and I was able to upload the- On the train? Yeah, and, man, it's so funny. I love going to screenings in New York. I love it because it's so, even though the screenings for me, Century City was like three minutes away from where I lived, that was always very convenient,
Starting point is 00:21:28 obviously, but if I had a Burbank screening, oh, like about an hour in the car. This is about 40 minutes to still get the subway, but I'm. I'm checking my emails. I'm listening to music. I'm relying. I have not been stressed out once going to a screening. I've been stressed out multiple times going to L.A. screenings, not once so far.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Yeah, the traffic part really does suck, especially because the good thing is that they do start a little earlier here earlier here than if they do for you, which it seems like they start eight for you usually. Well, no, no, no. I think it's six 30 or seven. My twister screening was 630. I think, I do think, I think this is just a weird thing.
Starting point is 00:22:02 But that's bad in L.A. In New York, 630's, because you're taking the subway in LA, right. That means you're in prime time rush hour. So yeah, it does take a really long time. Like even though it was just at the Grove yesterday, which usually is like 20 minutes from me, it was an hour to get there and whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It doesn't matter. Truthfully, I do want to say, I was so grateful to be invited because you know Brett and Christian that I've had a really hard time being invited to things. And I had to like really tell them, like, here's who I am, here, all the places I'm going to talk about it. And I feel like, like, it's crazy because I love this movie more than anybody in the entire theater.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I'm going to ride for this movie so hard. And hopefully I sold myself enough that they want me at other things. But it was, it's gotten so cut through. It's just really difficult. So I was so grateful to be able to be there. And I was able to bring DJ with me. Oh, cool. And it's, like, everybody who brought a plus one to this thing, the plus one,
Starting point is 00:23:03 are usually people who get invites. It was so wild to see. I mean, like, everybody there. Yeah, I'm learning, I'm learning the New York peeps. I saw, I saw some people that I had, well, some people introduced themselves to me, which was very nice. I met some other people that,
Starting point is 00:23:19 that I'd seen before there too. It's a different vibe yet same, if you know what I mean. Is it more editorial people there? I don't know. I saw a bunch of video people last night. I saw some people. I saw somebody from Barstool that, I knew. I saw some other people there that were there. I think that there's, yeah, there's quite a few
Starting point is 00:23:38 people video and probably print, probably the same same kind of mixture as LA. I mean, I don't, I can't speak you know yet. I don't speak confidently on it yet because I don't, I don't really know, but I've met met some really nice people and I love the theaters so far that I've gone to. Yeah, that's great. You just, you seem to be really, really loving it there. I'm really happy for you. Yeah, I do. And I think that it's just, it's, I like the setup and I, and I give all the credit to the, I guess we'll call them today we'll call him the silent assassin um today uh because he really even when sadie was in here yesterday she was like looking at um how like nice he he really really set it up like it's it's it looks really good and i showed it off to a few different people and it looks like a full functioning studio man it's
Starting point is 00:24:20 good stuff built a shit out of curtains you did build a shit out of curtains but it was it was uh it's it's a good shit um you know before we move on to um anything else too what i would like to tell you guys each and every week speaking about like last night one I need some energy AG one baby and some AG1 and then when I got home I actually had some magic spoon so that's true story AG1 magic spoon they both are crucial to everything that I'm doing right now and I'll tell you about both AG1 and magic spoon right now and I love AG1 I've been you guys know how many times if you heard me talk about AG1 and the reason why you're like wow talking about AG1 for a long time yeah they're great and they've been around for so long and I've told you forever

Go ahead and check it out. I also want to tell you about Magic Spoon. You guys know
Starting point is 00:26:13 how much I love Magic Spoon. My daughter this morning, she's like, I want to try Magic Spoon. And I didn't tell her no because, you know, it's it, it's an adult cereal and you can't do that. I said it's mine. Get out of here. You have yours. As a kid, I loved eating cereal. But as an adult, I don't want all that sugar and most cereals don't give me the protein I need. But with Magic Spoon, it is a nostalgically delicious cereal and it tastes just like my childhood favors, but it doesn't have that sugar. And it's got a ton of protein, which is awesome. You guys already MagicSpoon fans, I saw somebody in the in the chat today, said they just wound up getting it. I got big news for you. Magic Spoon has turned their super popular cereal into high protein treats. They're light,

Starting point is 00:29:01 which is located in the Funkoville. So all the way at the end of the convention center, Funko has like a city block. They've taken over. And we have the Mondo booth there. And then I'll be on a panel tomorrow revealing a bunch of really cool stuff that me and the team are working on.

We got something rad to show you tomorrow at the panel. Do you have an opportunity to enjoy as a fan at all? Are you going to be working the whole weekend? Well, see, that's the thing. Like, I've dreamt my whole life of having a reason to be at Comic-Con and not just, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And so being able to be here and, like, show all the stuff we've been working on is the dream. It's pure enjoyment. We have an awesome meeting set up with some people I really admire. You know, we have a special guest on our panel. I can't say who it is, but holy crap, I'll tell you this. I stood in line to meet him multiple times when I was 10 years old, when I was like 18 years old, and now he's sitting on our panel with us. So it's going to be epic.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So you heard it here first. Polly Shore to be on the panel with Attack Peter and everybody else. So, well, that's good, man. So you're going to have, I'm sure it'll be a blast. And are you showcasing new work and all that? Yeah, I got a brand new print myself. here at the booth, but we're bringing like, you know, 13 different beautiful screen printed posters. You know, you can check them out at Mondoshop.com to see if you're something that figure tickles your fancy.
Starting point is 00:30:36 We got brand new soft vinyl figures, amazing six scale figures from Batman the animated series, Spider-Man the animated series. I mean, just so much stuff, it's insane. I really think we are leaving it on the table, so to speak. Yes, and people will, and just reiterate again. So if they show up and they come to the convention center, they have their badges, they get into the floor. Where do they come to see you in the Mondo booth? Yeah, make a left go all the way to the end of the convention floor. You'll see the Mondo booth.
Starting point is 00:31:06 It's inside the Funco City. You can't miss it. It's massive. I wonder how many crossover UFO people you're going to meet when you're there. I am hoping to meet some of our friends from the UFO channel specifically. And what's really funny, dude, I'll tell you this right now. There are so many people in the entertainment business who have DMed me to. say hey love your show with christian i watch all the time or you know my show with christie your
Starting point is 00:31:29 show that i've guessed on and uh and they're and they're absolutely huge fans and just love that like regular juice like us are talking about it's great yeah if you see thomas jane there you should say hello oh yeah is he here i don't know but you maybe but who knows but it's uh you know it's funny my brother who hasn't really been to comic con really he's like hey uh here uh ryan reynolds is going to be there if you see him tell him uh tell him you love rexel him. And I'm like, because he's a soccer nerd. I'm like, that's not how it works, dude. It's my mother. When I first got to L.A., I tell the story all the time, I was on my way
Starting point is 00:32:02 driving into L.A. and she's like, you know, when you get there, you really should look up Sanja Bullock. You two would hit it off. Exactly. I love it, though. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I definitely will, but. That'll how it work. Yeah, are you, so we'd be paying attention to the news, the panels and all that as well, like, as you're on the floor? I am desperate to avoid Deadpool Wolverine spoilers, but yes, like, that's my my problem is like I don't know what night I'll be able to see it while I'm out here if I will. There's toy companies out there spoiling things infuriating me.
Starting point is 00:32:33 So like I'm just trying to like avoid that if possible. But yeah, there's so many like I can't wait to see what Marvel's going to announce. They're coming back. Is it true they're doing two separate panels? From what if, yeah, we just covered it on yesterday's show and it seems as if to, well, tonight, right? No, yeah, tonight, Thursday night, is going to be Deadpool and it's a full. panel with Deadpool and I'm probably going to show a screening of it is what we assume and then and then
Starting point is 00:33:00 Saturday night is the MCU panel the Marvel panel with with you know whether it's Captain America Thunderbolts fantastic for news on some other stuff Mike thinks that they're going to announce who the new Kang is I wonder yeah so that'll be awesome yeah so that's there's a lot to look forward to, but I'll, and one of the things you guys should look forward to is if you have a chance to get to Sandy, if you're at San Diego Comic Con, you have a chance to go check out Peter, you should, and tell them that, you know, you watch them on this show, you watch them on the UAP show, and go check them out. But, all right, I'll let you get to it, man.

I wish you were here, but I'll be out there in New York soon, so we'll say what's up. Yeah, are you going to New York Comic-Con? Oh, yeah, we'll be in New York Comic-Con.

Let him let you know about his thing. Now back to the show with me, Roxy and Brett. All right. Thank you, Aegee. Thank you, Magic Spoon.
Starting point is 00:34:17 The reason they've been with us so long is because I can confidently say that I use them all the time love them they've been beneficial to i see people say all the time they're signing up to age you want a magic spoon you'll help yourself out tremendously yes you will help out this show if you purchase one of those things but you're also going to thank me for it i promise you that it's funny because you like talk about them in casual conversation yes like when we're out with people specifically age you want to magic spoon you bring them off all the time yes yeah right i said you know i i lost 20 pounds how how i i lost 20 pounds how I know all the time.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah, like I feel really healthy and I lost a lot of weight. Age one magic spoon. All the time. Did we had a, I did not eat so healthy though. My friend had a barbecue and she had was very nice. She hosted because of my return. She hosted a thing at her at her house. Do I know her?
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yeah, she's been on the phone. She called in. Not Samantha. No, Alex. She called in. I told the story about she called in once and we talked about it how we're back in the day. I took her to a wedding and she just, remember she just, like, left in the middle of the wedding and I never knew why. And we had the whole conversation on Collider Live. She was, she was insecure
Starting point is 00:35:32 about certain things that was, not with me, but just in general with the, with what was happening at the wedding, kids being kids. And it was nothing, we were very close friends. And she, and she invited us over, my wife and her, like, super tight now. It's awesome. Like, they become friends. And So she had she had us over with with this full on like pool party and it was amazing. It was great. Great food. That's awesome. Barnaby was there.
Starting point is 00:36:03 What's that? Oh, that's great. Does she have kids? She does. She's got two kids and they were and both around my oldest age and they were all playing in the pool and everybody was playing pool. It was great. But I'm, I'm, this is such a good end to making friends.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Like all of my, because I'm the only. person I know without kids of my friends from home. And they all constantly have these new friends because they're mom and dad friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is a good way to do it. But I have to go the other way. Well, I got to tell you a good story, Brett. You're going to love this too.
Starting point is 00:36:35 And I'm probably, I'll probably keep it in here because it's just too good. It's just too good. We were sitting around, I was drinking for a bit. And Barnaby was there. And he looks over and he's talking about how when, Bonnie got really mad at him. Bonnie Somerville got extremely mad at him at my wedding. And I kind of remembered that,
Starting point is 00:36:58 but I didn't remember the... I just got the new reveal at the barbecue. But like what I always thought it was because he was taking pictures with these disposable cameras that we had. He was kind of wasting them, so she got pissed and like really lost it on him. But he reveals in front of him...
Starting point is 00:37:12 No, no, don't tell me he upskirted her. That would be like... Oh, no, no. No, no. No, no, I wouldn't be laughing about that. Sixers... Okay. Six or seven people sitting around and he's like talking about,
Starting point is 00:37:25 I mentioned my friend John Pinto and he goes, he's like, yeah, Pinto took a picture of me. There was a statue of this thing holding in the hand of it. He was like a Buddha or something. And it wasn't a Buddha, but it was something like that. They're holding his hands up. And he said, and Pinto was taking a picture of me, trying to put my balls in it. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:37:44 And I immediately start laughing, like crying, the one Denzel tear. and he's talking about it and my wife goes wait what and she's sitting right there and he's like and his his look he goes yeah and she's like you
Starting point is 00:38:02 you tried to put your balls in the Buddha's hand and and he goes yeah like it was so nonchalant it was so like matter of fact and wouldn't we all right and and she's like my wife was mortified
Starting point is 00:38:17 like absolutely mortified and And she's just like his, she tells me, next morning, the first thing she does, she's like, he put his balls in the statue's hand. And it was the first thing she woke up. And I'm crying, laughing the whole way through. And this went on for so, and I think one guy who sat down, I didn't even know he said that the barbecue sits at him. And she's like, what was it we're laughing at?
Starting point is 00:38:39 Well, this guy, this guy put his balls in the statue's hand. He goes, as one does. It was like, it was just out of control. but like Barnaby if you guys haven't been paying attention to this show that long he he was this kind of this character I've talked about on Schmo's I've talked about on
Starting point is 00:38:59 on S-E-N on Collider Live he was the one who did the he clip the lock with the Mortal Kombat machine and it was out of control it was a very funny very funny story anyway you want to hop back to Deadpool and Wolverine
Starting point is 00:39:16 oh yeah okay Let me tell you this, that this movie, at this time I look, at the time this air is on a Thursday, it probably starts to already have an idea of what this movie's going to make. Marvel Studios, Deadpool and Wolverine, it is going to be like a meteor, ready to break multiple records across the board. Now, deadlines reporting that the film's currently on track for a 160 to 170 million domestic, and a further 180 to 190 overseas, that's going to bring it close to 3.5%. 340 to 360 for its opening weekend. That's multiple times the MCU's lowest opening with the Marvels last year,
Starting point is 00:39:55 which debuted to 46.1 domestic and $110 million worldwide. Films looking to set the biggest R-rated opening of all-time domestically easily unseating the original Deadpool at $132 million. One area it's going to impact right away is Twisters. It's a film driven by 40% premium in IMAX ticket sales in its opening weekend hall. Deadpool and Wolverine will steal those large format screens leading the disaster film to potentially fall 55% in its second outing.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Deadpool and Wolverine rose out in international markets this Wednesday with France, Germany, Italy, Korea, and Japan, followed by Spain, Brazil, UK, Mexico, and Australia on Thursday and with China on Friday. Okay, question for you, Christian. And Brett, from Jump, without any other influence of looking at anything else, does this movie break a billion dollars? Well, you know, my, remember we talked about this.
Starting point is 00:40:47 We talked about this on the summer movie preview. But now you have a little bit more information with the ticket sales. And you've seen the movie so you know that it's good. Even more so. I double down and say that it'll make a billion. And I'm already, Roka has already conceded that he's going to lose our bet. And then next time I'm in L.A., we're going to take dinner. Because our bet was to $7.50.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I mean, it's going to make that in a week and a half. 100%. Yeah. So, yeah, it's definitely going to cross a billion. What do you think about it? I think it'll be the first movie to make a trillion dollars. Oh, yeah, you go. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Yeah. At top of the. Yeah. Roxy, you think so, too, though, right? I definitely think so. But before I saw it, I thought that $750 was with you, and I was like probably $800. Now I do think it's going to break a billion. I didn't say $750, though.
Starting point is 00:41:36 I said, I said, you had asked me about your Roca bat, and I was like, for sure. Oh, yeah, right, right, right, right. Okay, okay. Seriously. Yeah, because I had said a billion depth off top because I think that this, this. This is a movie that people are going to go back and watch many times over because it isn't. One of the big criticisms that is going to have from critics and other people is that maybe it leans too much into the wall breaking and that it's a little too inside baseball and it's a little,
Starting point is 00:42:03 it's a funny movie and it's a, it's that and that alone is going to have people going back and it's a rewatchable funny movie. It's not one of these things like, oh well the joke has already happened and now that it happens again, it's not going to be funny the second time. There's a lot of funny moments and that plays. And it's also, it's a very violent and bloody film for sure, which you go, well, it's surprising that that movie can make that much money. It's also, it's the first MCU movie.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And it's first Disney, you got to give, look, people crap on Disney all the time, and they've made some really questionable decisions over the last couple of years. There's no doubt about it. But good on them that they can make, they mean, they really take a piss, take a piss on themselves in this movie. They really do. They really do. They really do. I think that not only the things you said, Christian, but this movie is fully loaded and walking out. Some of the critics did say, like we were comparing notes and they were like, oh, I missed that part.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Oh, I miss that sentence. Oh, like I have to go back and rewatch this. Because there's so much going on at once that if you miss one sentence, one line, whatever, then certain parts kind of can get overlooked. So I think that it's definitely something that I would happily go see. I never seen movies in theaters twice. I would happily go see this again. Yeah. Brett, are you going to go see this one in the theater? Oh, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Oh, okay. No, I just, I would love to. I would love to. Why can't you take your son to this? He doesn't care about any of these. What about your daughter, actually? She doesn't either. So you're, so you're.
Starting point is 00:43:43 And I think this is a comment on, you know, maybe not necessarily, because your kids like to go to movies, Christian. A lot of my friends and I have talked about the same sort of thing is that our kids take in all of their media on their phones and their iPads and they don't. The movie experience is will most likely, if it were to die, which a lot of people, you know, are speculating, it will. would die with the generation of my kids. Because, yeah, they just, my son has a 65-inch flat screen in his room just because I couldn't fit it in the entertainment center. I got it for a good deal. And it's been sitting there, and he's never once watched a movie on it. It's just so crazy to me.
Starting point is 00:44:36 My daughter had her friends over. I said, go watch a movie. They're all in their eyes. It's not just the agenda, though. my sister's five she's going to be 28 tomorrow and she like can't be bothered to go to the movies unless the only movie i ever got her to see with me in the last 10 years that she liked was that anyone but you rom-com last year like she is like why would we go to the movies when we could put on tv or something at home or like snapchat tic talk so it is so weird even those few years my
Starting point is 00:45:08 brother and i are obsessed with going to the movies but she's like the start of jenny Z and just that's not something her and her friends ever do like that's what my me and my friends do we would go when we were growing up we would go to the movies it would be a huge day if we were going to the movies or going to the mall so exciting we're going to
Starting point is 00:45:26 movies or we're going to mall and that's just not what they know it's true it's as much well yeah even I Christian knows I was a huge film goer I went with I went to like three beats with him like I mean we would go into a theater and hide and go in the next one
Starting point is 00:45:42 watch three movies. That was our record at the time. Yeah, allegedly. Well, it's true. And I think that even it's one, you say, you're your kids like to go to the movies.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Yeah, but I take them, right? And then I take them now. Like, I don't know if, like my oldest, like,
Starting point is 00:45:58 she's not, in her spare time, she's on her laptop or she's doing iPad or she's... She's a book reader, Christian. It's so different. I know,
Starting point is 00:46:07 but she's been taking, I know, but she's been taking breaks on that too, which I don't like. And so she's been doing, And, you know, she's doing a lot of cosplay stuff, which I like, which is very creative. That's cool. It's creative. So it was like she does that kind of stuff. But she wants.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Where? In my house. She's like, no, no, no. She like dresses up and records herself doing like, cosplay stuff. And she just, she does like these little cap cut videos that she makes. And it's adorable. But like, she's like, that type of stuff. But she's not, she, it's not, yeah, for me. One thing I would be like, yeah, I got, I got some time. I got two hours and I'm allowed to do whatever I want. I'm going to watch a movie. I'm going to go kick back and Yeah. But they don't do that. On Saturday, I took myself to go see Inside Out too.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Oh, you didn't finally. And you loved that. Yeah. But like it was my big night of the weekend. I was like, oh. And I was asked on a date by this guy. And I was like, I really want to go by myself to see Inside Out too. Went to go see Inside Out too instead. So that's how you know where my head is. I'm with you guys. Like going to the movies, if I have a couple hours, that is what I, where I want to do. Right. Well, it's also. And I, I, with my wife, we, we, we maybe take one day to a month. You know, we, we, we would like to do it more.
Starting point is 00:47:19 But, and when we do, we want to have a conversation over dinner. We don't, you know, want to sit and be silent in a film. So it's, it's, it's not something we do. I mean, we did it back when we had time to do everything. Yeah. And now that's been, that's gone the wayside for, you know, I can't tell you the last time that I saw a movie with my wife in the theater. I can't I don't remember. I really don't remember.
Starting point is 00:47:45 We've watched tons of movies together on on TV. Not as a whole family ever Christian? Well yeah, yeah, as a family. We went we took the kids to see what do we? But you mean just your wife? Just my wife, just the two of us together. Like we went to a family, there was a family movie that
Starting point is 00:48:01 we saw together. There was trolls, the latest trolls movie that we all wanted to see. But yeah, but just like just the two of us going to see a movie, we haven't done that in a very long time. Wow, you guys have to do that. She doesn't really care as much.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Don't make fun to me. Don't make fun of me. Can you guys leave your kids alone or no? So that's not an unfair question. I think that we're getting to a place now that my oldest is we like, my wife even said, yeah, we can go out to dinner. We'd be cool with leaving the oldest with the little one for a couple hours. You know why we went to eat.
Starting point is 00:48:36 So is the reason why Brett then that you guys don't ever do that? or Christian you too because I know you're saying the time you have a part you want to talk but like couldn't you go all is it a is it because it's just like expensive or is it because you guys are so busy with work like if it's not about for movies for movies for me it's I think it's more about honestly probably more about my wife as far as that goes because she does she's for her it's two hours what am I going to why am I in the movies if I can watch it at home She doesn't need the theater experience the way that you and I do, right? For a press screening, she would never want to go with you?
Starting point is 00:49:16 I mean, in the city, Century City now probably if I was in L.A., you know, she, if there was something she, like, you know what she really wanted to see? She really wanted to see Twisters, like, wanted to go to that screening, but it was in the city, like, leaving, leaving. There's just too many hours. That's a little much, like, because the city trips are longer because you got to, it's a 45 minutes alone just to take the train into the city. And then the screening itself, especially there's a delay like there was last night.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Like when I went to see Twisters, though, it was, the screen was 6.30. I got there just at 6. Saw the movie at 630. I was out by like 8.30. Got on the train and like 9. I was home by like 10. So it wasn't that bad. What's the age you can leave them starting at like 10?
Starting point is 00:50:02 13. I think it's like the legal. Yeah. You can leave. You can leave kids with a 13 year old, I think. Yeah. But yeah, no, I can leave mine alone all the time, but then that allows my wife and I to work longer. We both got home last night around 7 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Dinner was eaten at around 8.30 after dishes and, you know, showering and what have you, 930 rolls around. And I was like, hey, I'm going to go to bed. And my wife read a book on the couch and fell asleep. And I fell asleep playing a stupid phone game. So there you go. That's how the cookie crumbles. You miss this already, don't you?
Starting point is 00:50:51 No. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Talk about kids reading. Seeing a child read is so off for me. My children do not like to read. I'm like, what is that you're doing with your brain? It's true. I mean, you know, Brett ate all my ice cream when he was here. Just let everybody know.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Yeah, everyone's. It's fair. You really did. I love these. I know. I think that's okay, Christian. What's that? I think he put in enough work that he can eat your ice cream. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. But he does, I knew the second of my wife said, hey, anything you want in the house, I said, that's the end of it. I had, I have these like peanut butter sandwiches, these peanut butter and chocolate, like, yogurt sandwiches. They were so frozen yogurt, so good, so yummy. and I had to hide them because they knew he was going to eat them all. And I also, I'm surprised you're allowed, you're allowed to get those because they're like oat milk or something. Yeah, because Christian and I are the same person in that regard. We both are huge sweet tooths that have to hide it from our wives. Not that we do hide it. This particular, you know, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:51:56 I'm not, but I'm not a big sweet tooth person. There's a particular types. There's certain things I can't stay away from. Like, so you, I know your peanut butter, M&Ms. Peanut butter M&M's. We go to, we go to Home Depot and I see them and I'm, oh, all right, get over here. So, yeah. You're by far in a way the best M&M's and anybody who doesn't understand that doesn't understand.
Starting point is 00:52:16 They're the best. And I had it. They're really, really good. Anyway, you'd love it here, Christian. We've got a jug of every kind of M&M in the little snack area. Well, my wife, I wouldn't get rid of. My wife wants to put a whole bunch of these candies in like the waiting area over here. And I'm like, I don't know if that's smart.
Starting point is 00:52:32 told you not to touch him. I know. That's cute. It is. Last night, I put this on my Instagram story, but I felt fucked up after the movie because of how, like, I don't know my body's changing because I'm in my 30s. What I had, I got chocolate cookie dough balls. Oh.
Starting point is 00:52:53 And maybe had a quarter of the bag. And then they gave you a bucket of popcorn. And I maybe had a quarter of that. And I thought I was going to die. Did you have? dinner. No, I didn't eat dinner before. That's what. Yeah. That's what happened? 100%. Um, so when I, I've been, I know your, I know the exact feeling. I know the exact feeling. It was like legitimate. Because you just run it on sugar and salt and nonsense. And it's,
Starting point is 00:53:18 it's, and it's exactly. I've done that before. I'm like, oh, I need to eat something and I eat popcorn and it's like, it's like this. It's so hard to have dinner before the 7 p.m. screenings because I got there at six o'clock. Grab a protein bar. Yeah. Honestly. Because like that, that's, that's, that's, I hate the popcorn dinner feeling. I hate it. Oh my God. It's the worst. It felt like it was one in the morning last night and my stomach was like,
Starting point is 00:53:41 brutal. This is something. You need afterwards? No, I was feeling, I was so sick afterwards, like my stomach hurt so much I couldn't eat. Well,
Starting point is 00:53:50 well, let me tell you this. You know what's really strange is that I've talked about it. And Brett's been there with me. There's a pizza place in Penn Station, Roses. How great is that? I know, it's really good.
Starting point is 00:54:01 But. I tried. Okay, just I want to say I'm trying intermediate fasting. And right now I'm so hungry I could throw up. I think it's intermittent, right? Yeah, whatever. Doesn't matter. I say things wrong so much that I forget.
Starting point is 00:54:15 I say that it's an optional illusion and, yeah, intermediate. Fuck you. Well, listen, listen, I have to talk about food here. I'm sorry. There was this place, roses, which is really, really good. And I was like, I can't eat pizza again.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I just can't do it when I get there. And I look to the side, I'm like, because we were going to go eat somewhere maybe at Union Square. My buddy met me at Penn Station. And I go, well, let's try this place. And it's a salad place.
Starting point is 00:54:44 And Penn Station, I'm like, how good is that going to be? It was phenomenal. Really? Super fresh. Really, really good. What the hell was it called chopped or something? CHO-P-T? I eat salads all the time.
Starting point is 00:54:58 But chops. What do you put on them? This one, I kind of kind of custom built it. It was almost like a, custom-built chop put pizza on yeah you know meatballs on it but I had it was a custom chopped it was like you know it some it's some eggs some some bacon some a lot of remain I put some cucumbers in there which is normally not in a chop but it was good it didn't get the avocado because I could physically fight avocados I hate avocados I hate avocados
Starting point is 00:55:21 so they had all that and it was delicious my friend couldn't believe how good it was light ranch put some light ranch on the side and just on the side rocks on the side but it was But it was really good. It was called CHOP. A little plug there for them. It was delicious. They switched it up. Yeah, they did.
Starting point is 00:55:40 You didn't spell it. We would all thought it was P-P-E-D. But it wasn't. So now you hump snow. All right. Before we get going here, Roxy's got some TV news. Yeah, and I have to have this for a minute, Christian,
Starting point is 00:55:52 because we had our Sam Meryl interview. And then last week we had a scheduling issue. We'll leave it at that. Wait, last week was the scheduling issue? Was that last week? I thought we did, no, we did the show last week. You were on with Brett. But we were talking about Emmys, so we didn't do TV picks.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Yeah, that's a schedule. A week before we had the scheduling issue, and then the week before we had Sam. So I haven't given you TV picks, I don't think in July. I had a scheduling issue with you today, but I won't bring it up. I don't think that's fair. I asked you a full week ago. No, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Should we get into it? You're going to say the 15-minute thing? Yes. What did you book within 15 minutes? You asked me the morning. No, it's not what I booked. My sister said, asked me last night, can I use that room for a meeting? And I said yes.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Because I had texted you confirming that we weren't starting until 10. Well, but I always want to check in. Always give yourself an extra 10 minutes so we can check in camera shots and stuff. Just tell me the time my shift starts. You can't in the morning be like, I need you there 15 minutes earlier because I couldn't get in the room. And I was like, I'm not going to meet them downstairs and then bring them in here. All right, that's fine. All right, let's talk about TV.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Chopped. Let me talk about chop first, folks. C-H-O-B-T. Who's the chef on that? Chef Dombron. And what does he do? What's he do? Oh, man, he's so good.
Starting point is 00:57:15 He does this thing called Intermediate. Yeah. Chopin. And what was his name one more time? Dombron. And how long has he been in the biz? Italian, fella. Yeah, how long has he been in the biz?
Starting point is 00:57:29 35 years. Right. 35 years young. And what's that? Why do you decide to put the tea on the end? Well, the tea, because there's actually a place in Burbank called Chopped, and he's like, I want to steal that idea. So I'm just going to slap a tea on it and drop a P-E-B.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Right. And that's how you can cheat the system, right? Yeah, yeah. So what was the one that he did, though? He had, like, his claim to fame when he was, I think it was 18 years old. He made a dish that people lost their minds about. What was that going on? Yeah, that was on his previous show, sliced.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Right. Where he would just slice cheese. Oh, so his previous show, so he hasn't had a show since he was 18, right? Yeah, yeah. Slice and cheese, and it was, I mean, it was a huge hit in Germany, Sweden, but here it didn't make it so much. Okay. Oh, God, but the way he could slice a greer. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:58:17 All right, well, thank you for that, Brett. Thank you. All right, Roxy, we had six minutes, so here we go. Ready? First one, here we go. And that, of course, is this wonderful show that Roxy told me about that I've never heard. of called The Bachelorette. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:58:32 It's interesting this season. My brief thoughts on the Bachelorette right now are that this girl is, Jen, is really sweet. And somebody that I would like to grab a drink with and probably would be friends with. She's not particularly entertaining because she's just kind of nice and normal. So they cast clearly a bunch of guys
Starting point is 00:58:57 that would be full of so much drama. and they are so dramatic and annoying. Like everything they talk about, some of them on the seasons, they're just like the, I hate to be sexist about this, but they're arguing like little girls. Like,
Starting point is 00:59:13 you got more, and they're just, it reminds me of being a teenage girl the way that they're talking to each other. It's so strange, really bizarre. I'm team Devin for anybody who's watching. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Well, next one after that then would be. Celebrity. Family Feud is back. I'm actually just loving this show. They did The Bachelor versus Golden Bachelor, which was great. They always have some really great celebrities on here. And some of the answers are so funny. Like they did a who's the best. What would you guys say when they when I say who's the best rapper of all time? Who would you think was number one on the list for family feud? Well, family feud probably Eminem. But I'd say that's a fair guess. Jay Z. Jay Z. It was Snoop Dog. Oh, that makes sense. Oh, okay. Snoop.
Starting point is 01:00:05 And Jay Z was 10. I mean, or did. He was last. Yeah. He was 10th on the list. I was like, what is that happening? Yeah, but that makes sense when it comes to, when you have like the, this isn't, again, insiders.
Starting point is 01:00:17 This is more like the, yeah. But their first guesses, everybody, the celebrity's first guesses were Kendrick Lamar, Jay Cole, Drake, none of them on the list. They were dressing, they were saying all current people. I thought that was interesting, but I really like this show. It's such fun, like junk food. And this was Celebrity?
Starting point is 01:00:37 Yeah, celebrity. They're really throwing that rude word around these days, aren't they? Yeah. All right. Next one. No, they really do have big people on the show, too, though, like huge stars. You would be shocked with some of the people who are on the show, truly. The next one is because the Emmy nominations, I told you, Christian,
Starting point is 01:00:53 there's a few shows that I haven't watched. So I'm slowly going to make my way through them before September. So I started slow horses. everybody says that this is one of the greatest shows ever I'm three episodes in and the slow part of the title really checks out I'm hoping that this is yeah I heard slow horses supposed to be great I know I'm confused right now it's fine
Starting point is 01:01:17 but it's really slow I hope that I dig this it's three seasons so I'm like let's pick it up baby come on let's let's go right now I'll keep I posted week after week but it's nothing to write home about in this moment. All right. Next one. Name of a thousand kids. This was a crazy docu series that I watched about a man who is going to sperm bank after
Starting point is 01:01:40 sperm bank donating his sperm because there aren't international laws about this. And he has over a thousand kids at this point and he lies to everybody and says that he only has three. And now all these kids are at serious risk of incest. And it is huge problem. And they are, they sued him. the parents because he is a liar and he is a temp now there's this whole class of people there's like a few of them who are caught who are trying to dominate the next few generations with their sperm
Starting point is 01:02:10 and they he has over a thousand children right now so it's really scary all these half kids running around out there and this is different than the the doctor not the doctor not the doctor this is a person who vlogs Jesus yeah this was creepy creepy doc and he's not the only one and they are all in competition with each other to see who can have more kids in the following genes because they're like if we can get over a thousand kids and the next gen after that we have even more and then even more they're trying to like take over the world with their sperm i'm not kidding it's so it was a three-part series i was disgusted and it's important to bring awareness because they're trying to um change the laws about this they're trying to make this illegal
Starting point is 01:02:53 and they did end up spoilers they end up winning a case that's very important for the future of sperm donors. All right. Next one. House the Dragon. Of course I'm talking about this show. The show is freaking awesome. I'm assuming Christian that you're loving this as well.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Yes. This season is just great. Brett, are you not in on this show right now? We watched one. So now we're on episode three next time. Just a little behind. This season fricking rocks.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Obviously, Team Black forever. Team Green is just completely insane. Falling apart. What did you say? They're falling apart. Oh, I thought he said, hold on, hold on. No, no, they're falling apart. Yeah, they're falling apart.
Starting point is 01:03:35 It's so good. I'm into every character. I honestly am kind of more into this right now than Game of Thrones, just because it's so dialed in and... One story. It's like one big story. Yeah, one story and you really get to know each of the characters. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:49 I love Renair's son, too. I'm really intrigued by him and what is going to end up happening there. But just, yeah, and what Damon is off doing. It's like, what the hell is going on? He's losing his mind. Losing his mind. Coburkeye binged all of part one, which was five episodes in one night. Of course I did.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Christian, I know this show is near and dear to your heart as well because these are become friends of yours, the creators. Are you watching the season? Did you finish the season? Where are you at? I started the first episode. I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. It's on my to do list for the weekend.
Starting point is 01:04:26 It's only five episodes, so I'll be able to knock through it. I was supposed to have Hawk, Jacob on, but it didn't work out. It's awesome. It's awesome, Christian. Oh, you love it? It's another awesome season. Good, good, good. They're doing a great job.
Starting point is 01:04:39 I think my favorite character has become Tori. Hawk is always so great. Just, I really, really enjoy this show. It is like just fun and enjoyable and action-packed, and they start the season off with badass fights, and you're like, okay, this season is really going to focus on the fights. You know those two are dating in real life, right? Ooh. Hawk and Torrey?
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah. Yeah, so you didn't know that. I told you. Are you making a joke? No, look it up. Hawk and Torrey? Yeah, Jacob Beltran and, and Peyton List. They were both, they were both Disney kids.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Blogging. I think one, or maybe he was Nickelodeon. I don't know, but look it up, see, I wanted to tell you. So you, I told you. Hawke and Tori are dating. There you go. Yeah. I did not know that, Christian.
Starting point is 01:05:24 See, I just told you. All right. So is that the last one? No, we got one more. No. one more. The last one is a recommendation from your wife, which is presumed innocent. And
Starting point is 01:05:34 this show is so good. I am now caught up and now I'm having to wait week after week, which I don't like doing because this show is excellent. Edgy your seat, excellent. Love this. Jake Jillon Hall is so good. We already
Starting point is 01:05:50 know this. I wish that the Oscars didn't hate him so much for some reason because he'd already be an Oscar winner for at least nominee for Nightcrawler. But he should be nominated for this for an Emmy. He's so good. It's so good. Good.
