Let's do it.
What's up, everybody?
Welcome back.
Everybody had a good weekend.
What you do this weekend?
Chill out.
Good.
Happy to hear it.
Podcast.
Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
Anywhere, podcast, I actually really do like it.
But every time I forget to upload the podcast on Spotify,
someone's like, hey, what's going on?
It's not on Spotify yet.
Hurry up.
That means more people are.
we're listening on Spotify, so I appreciate that.
I just upload everything, Brett.
You got to let upload it.
Oh, yeah, not blow it.
You still feel like you're a little...
I don't know.
I can't, I can't do it.
Check it out.
Talk to the people.
Guys, I'm going to have to explain what Chris was talking about to my mom.
I'm not going to explain to you, but she's going to ask me.
Oh, we're going to talk about it.
Oh, good.
I just, you know, listen.
People who want to know what the hell I was talking about.
I got it.
Okay.
So, Brett and I were talking.
We have a, I actually have more than one friend.
Like, this came up in conversation with more than one friend.
Talking about potential, like, swinger parties.
And like, in no world am I ever doing that?
And both of my friends who brought this up were like, yeah, you know, listen.
If it comes down to it, I have my wife.
There, and she's cool with it.
I'm cool with it, then we do it.
And I said, I don't think you're thinking this through.
No.
I said, listen, so you're going to be okay.
If your wife is with another dude and you think she's going to be okay, if you're with another one, she's, no, they both said the same thing.
No, she probably wouldn't be okay with that.
Well, first of all, that's the end of it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's part of one.
End of discussion.
But it's not the one that I think that they're not thinking through.
And my, and listen, I'm going to tell you right now, yes, I know what we led with as far as the title and the thumbnail.
So if there are kids that are listening to this show, I would tell you to not listen to this show right now because we're going deep.
Because here's, Brady, this is, this is what I'm thinking.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's say it's a nice establishment.
Everybody's, you know.
They've got snacks.
They've got snacks, Doritos, whatever.
they got. But no, let's say, let's say it's really nice. Let's, let's picture a,
almost like Playboy Mansion in its prime type of environment. And, uh, you know, you got the,
uh, eyes wide shut masks all over the place. And people are just, just fucking. Yeah, you know,
it's just one of the, it's that kind of scene. I mean, that's what they're for. It's what they're
for. You know, you pay the price of admission and that's what happens. It's not like one of
these things. Like, wait a minute. It, things happen. So,
Somebody's fucking my wife.
No, that's the...
That's what happened.
We told you at the door.
That's the price of admission.
You guys said, you bang on the people, but people bang your sniffing another.
So I said, well, to both of them, I said this scenario.
I said, you're on a nice, comfy chair.
You've got a...
You've got a lady on top of you.
And then you...
You're over.
The side of your...
Right in front of you.
Right on your peripheral.
I'm not talking about.
I'm talking to.
12 o'clock.
Just a little
side sneak.
I'm talking 12 o'clock.
You're like, excuse me for a second.
Is that what I think it is?
Yeah, it's exactly what you think is.
It's a rhinoceros penis going inside
in and out of your wife.
As you're looking over and you're going
you're going, you're going to be okay with that?
You're good with that?
You're okay with it?
And both of them said the same thing.
Yeah, I'd be fine with it.
Bullshit.
And if you are, I guess that's your thing, though.
That's that, because I was just like,
Well, if you want to step out, if you want to have like an open relationship, they don't watch, but the act, this is somebody that kind of has that.
Yeah, voyeur thing or what is it.
It's even like cuckold, isn't it?
No, I guess.
I guess.
But I mean, but that's the thing is that I was like, you know, the frets of first question I asked was would they be okay with it?
And they both said, no.
So the answer is no.
This is not what they're into.
No, no.
But it's this thing.
And I'm just like, wait a minute.
So you're just going, how does that, how does that?
does that pan out?
Yeah, I'm okay with it.
And then what if this guy is just going at town, right?
And you look up and the woman you're with is just like, eh.
And then meanwhile, now you're looking at the performance and you're going to wait
a minute.
And then, like, again, I can't make those noises come out of her.
No, what's the car ride home like?
Yeah.
Oh, honey, we got to.
Do we have milk?
Yeah, you know, I got to meet my.
parents brunch tomorrow.
Yeah.
A little something on you.
Why don't you clean up?
Why don't you clean up a little bit?
I'll, uh, I'm going to go have a soft cry in the shower.
I didn't realize that maybe this wasn't the best choice.
I'm beginning to think this was a bad idea.
The next night, she's just like, now, now your wife who was, you know, putting on, just going,
calls you Ronnie or something.
Client X.
That's like,
client X.
That's got to be the beginning of the end of anybody that goes like,
hey, I think, and I'm sure there's people that can handle it.
But that's what I'm saying.
If they're not both on board, it's the beginning of the end.
Yeah.
It's not, it's not this thing of like, oh, yeah, we'd be able to hang.
No, there's a reason why a decent proposal was, and that was something very different.
But still, no, no.
This romanticized idea of just being able to,
Yeah, yeah, it's kinky.
It's like, dude.
This guy would be a Dennis Rodman penis.
He's just like, just taking, oh.
That was the best, what of the scene in like,
was it the Borat movie where he's like had this next party
and he's just walking on a couple of like.
I don't know, but he thought it was Bruno?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I thought it was Borah.
Maybe.
And he's like rubbing the guy's back.
He's like, he did some weird shit.
It was.
I'm sure.
It was.
I'm sure it was.
But I'm sure it was.
But I'm five stars.
Yeah.
Anyway, so that's the conversation.
These, look, you don't understand something.
These are the conversations Brett and I get into before the conversation rolls.
And it's like, hey, what are the numbers on Loki?
It's like sometimes the conversations we have right before will never make the hear.
But I don't think he thought I was going to talk about it.
Yeah, I didn't know.
I'm like, oh, you're going to restart the opening.
No.
Let them start with this on Monday.
Now you know what you're into.
Welcome Monday.
Yeah, I subscribed to you because the UAP.
I didn't know we were going to talk about
back in people's minds.
Hey, if you didn't like heavy metal.
If you didn't like the heavy metal intro.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
I had somebody, some guy got mad at me over the weekend in comments.
You know, we started doing a push for the Patreon.
And I told people that we started really building up the Patreon again.
And we're going to be doing a lot of new things.
Once in November 1st, I'm actually going on a call with PLD.
today about it where we're going to do a lot of new benefits and we're making a pull for it
and I think Winston is going to do Halloween horror nights which he's really scared of it.
Oh, he hates that?
Yeah.
So he's going to do, he said he'll do it for if we get to a thousand this month.
He'll do it, but because you can only run, it only runs until the end of October.
But he said that he would extend it basically.
So if we hit a thousand, even if it's like November or December, he'll go.
he'll go next year for sure um and then i also said that you were going to do you're not a heights
guy but you're going to do for 10 when we hit 10 000 yeah you're going to do skydiving which we'd
be able to pay for and all that stuff and and so the first part of the guy's comment i really felt for him
because he's just like look i went through stuff at the workplace and i got bullied and it was it was a
really rough time for him and that broke my heart yeah yeah but what he said afterwards is like
and you're bullying people into this i was like no he says what you did to macuga no not even close
and I was offended by the comment,
not offended by the guy's situation
because he had his own situation
and my heart broke for the guy.
But I was like,
if I say to you and Winston,
listen,
you're going to do this,
you're not going to benefit from it at all.
Yeah.
I'm not paying you for it.
And guess what?
If you don't do it,
you're never on this channel again.
Well, then fuck me.
I'm a bully.
Yeah.
Then screw you.
Now,
what I said to both you and Winston
was, hey, I got an idea.
What would it take?
And I said to Winston,
and I sent him a text.
I said,
what would it take if you,
if you go to Halloween
Horror nights
and he goes
I don't know
and he said
you'd have to pay me
significantly more
than you know
my average rate
and I was like of course
I was like if we hit this
and he gave me a price
I said if we hit that
I'll give that to you
and he said alright
I'll do it
and I said are you sure
and he said yeah
I said all right
then here you go
and he plays it up
he plays it up on the thing
and the same thing
with you
oh my number went up
you should have
you number went up
like what about this
I'm like get to fuck
yeah
and that's
and that's what you should do
Now again, if I say to you, if you don't do it for this price,
if you don't do this, you don't care about the channel,
if I'm pressuring you, then yeah, that's bullying.
But people throw words around sometimes, and it's not,
and it's because, and again, particular guy's situation,
it really, really, it really pained me when I read the guy's situation.
It really pained me because, but when he threw it to you,
that's what you did to Makuga.
Yeah.
Makuga was doing this and Makuga, Makuga did the,
the It stuff. He went for a collider.
Maccuga played off on that stuff
as well, too. It did legitimately
scare the shit out of him, too, but he knew
he was an entertainer, and he wanted to do that stuff.
And Winston said the same thing.
He's like, yeah, Mukuga was on
salary doing this stuff, and McCughey liked to do those
bits. So I was,
when it directed towards me, I was
100% offended by it. And then
Winston, and I love Winston, Winston's one of my
very close friends, too. Winston chimed in, he's like,
in no world would I be pressured
into doing something. I was asked to do it.
So nonetheless, we are doing both Winston's going to be doing that,
and then Brett's going to be doing the 10,000, when we get 10,000, to be skydiving.
Now, the other thing the guy wrote, he's like, well, you should be doing stuff too, 100%.
I said this to my wife the other day.
We'll do a tandem.
I'll be on your back.
Well, I mean, I think I would do it, though.
That's how you got to do it, you know, the first.
There's got to be so many times.
You can't do it.
You can't do it by yourself.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
But you got a long way to go.
We're not even a 400 people
You can't do it
You're gonna be a long way to go
Before I dare you
You'll probably be 80 by the time you're doing
Be even more so
But nonetheless
I was like you know we should do something for me
And I was telling my wife
I'm like what if I like
What if I bleach blonde my hair like Ryan Gosselin
And did like a Barbie
It'd be like the tan
For like 1500
And then she's like you better not bring that up
And I was like maybe I would give it like a time period
But I don't know
I know talk to people about
tough with, she has trouble with a bleach blonde hair.
What about a tuft for months?
But that, but that was different though.
That was different though, because you weren't going anymore.
No, I know.
Well, there was a point where I went to the grocery store.
I forgot.
And it had a mask.
And it wasn't even styled.
It was just this style.
And I was like, oh, that is hilarious.
And people who don't know, we did, during the pandemic,
Brett and I were losing our minds.
And I, for some reason, I woke up.
And I just shaved my head.
Like, like, bald.
Yeah.
And Brett walked in.
He couldn't believe he thought it's hilarious.
And then he's like, I'll do it too.
And he went home and he shaved his head and he had a little tough.
And that's how, like, so flirt and flowers, the pop singer was born.
But anyway, we're going to come up with some new tears as well, too.
But like I said, November, we're starting a really big push on the Patreon.
And we're going to be starting a lot of new thing.
So join up today, man.
It's patreon.com slash the big thing show.
It's the first thing that you see.
And we've already, we're building up.
to those. If we get to a thousand by the end of the month, we're going to do the Winston
trip. It'd probably be me, Brett and Coy going to, with Winston to Universal. So if you're
able to do that, and you want to see that video, and they will air here. It would air on this
channel, and then all the behind the scenes and all that stuff would go up on Patreon. So,
I hate scary shit, by the way. A child's, like, a grade school haunted house will freak. I just
don't like getting jumped out at. Do you know what happened, why Winston, one of the
reasons Winston's so nervous
about going. Somebody grab him once or something?
He went to Knott's Berry Farm and
they grabbed him and he uppercutted the guy and
got kicked out. He's banned. He's banned.
That's what he said. You got to understand. I punched
somebody last time. And I said,
I said, I'm sure you want to do it? Yeah. I mean, again,
I would have done the same thing with both of you guys did.
It's like, how much are you going to pay me? Yeah.
And I said, here you have, I think, less to worry about for a while.
Oh, yeah. Because we're not even, like I said, we're not
even a 400 yet. Winston's got around
600. Yeah, that's getting nervous.
but I think by the time we get to a thousand
I just don't think we'll hit it at the end of this month
and then Winston will be yeah so
anyway that's what we got
and then what I try to also do for Brett
depending on what it is Brett will come over and you'll see things
that you know people send here and stuff and he asked for it
and so today I gave him the Loki hat
look at that it's the time thing
it's the time thing and Brett actually watched Loki so
yeah if people are wondering like what
We didn't know it dropped.
Oh, we didn't even know it dropped?
Thanks for watching the show.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, we watched SexEd is our new one we're watching, and we opened it up, and this popped up.
I said, let's do some Loki.
I was bummed there was only one.
I was hoping that I hadn't heard about it for a while.
Oh, yeah, I've seen four.
They're fast.
They're fast.
But here's the thing.
So, you're tuning into this, and you're saying, no dummies.
It's not too confusing.
Well, I don't think it's too confusing.
I think it's confusing, but I think it's too confusing.
The reason I have that in the title is because people have been asking.
Yeah.
I'm saying it's confusing.
So this is Dark Horizons that says,
between the temporal looms, time slipping, talk of variance and more,
the second season premiere of Loki this week through a lot of techno babble at viewers.
I think I mean throw techno babble in there you go.
Some may have issues following just what's going on,
especially as much of the season's mysteries, are slow burn reveals.
Don't worry, though.
Confusion is part of the intent, according to executive producer Kevin Wright.
In a new interview with the rap, Kevin Wright says the point is to never share too much with the audience,
thus allowing them to work out possibilities of their own and without confusing them with too much detail.
Thus, the approach became more about keeping it simple,
and more often than not, it was about removing lines than anything else ordered to straddle the line between intrigue and confusion.
He says, if you explain too much the audience has, it feels like they have to carry it.
The thing that was always important to us was that we were talking big concepts,
we're getting into time loops and timey-wimy stuff starts happening big time in this,
but it was always about how simply, when needed, we can explain that in a line or two or dialogue,
the audience goes, okay, that kind of makes sense. I'm going to put that in the back of my brain as it keeps moving on.
The episode ended up being full of Marvel Easter eggs from the temporal looms door being an obvious homage to X-Men Cerebro,
to the exclusion of a podcast audio clip heard in the Moon Night series to Silvio's cameo in Brockston, Oklahoma,
of the same place where Thor created a new
Asgard in the comics.
All right, so there's a bunch of different things that
are obviously going on in the show.
And I think that, I think it gets,
it gets more confusing in episode two.
And again, I'm not going to, people got really mad that we were
talking about two, three, and four at all.
We didn't even spoil anything in capes.
People are like, don't even bring it up.
So that's all I'll say about it.
Don't even think about it.
There are other things are confusing.
But I think that they're right.
I think it plays into a place where it's supposed to be
confusing.
Of course.
Wait, what?
But as long as you get to a place, you're like, oh, as long as you get to that oh moment, then that's fine.
It allows you to, if it's just confusing, I don't know what's happening.
I think the multiverse in general has gotten a little too confusing, but I don't think for this show, if that makes sense.
No, not at all.
And like, I even said it to you before I even knew that was the topic this morning.
I was like, oh, yeah, it was me going, oh, I get it.
Right.
You know, but there's points from like, I don't know what he's talking about.
But it doesn't bother me.
and I think it makes
for a lot of the humor
to hit when you
when you kind of don't understand what they're talking
about and neither do
Loki kind of doesn't understand
either you know so yeah
I'm jealous that you got to see four
it's yeah I mean well and I'm
also jealous in the fact that you get to experience it
one week after the next and I was like
they could have done two
just that first little tea
I'm all about the week
to week but for some reason
with the shorter shows,
it's tougher that, like an hour
show, that's great. I can do
week to week that. Some of that half hour show
that is just like, oh, man, I needed more.
Normally, I agree with you on this.
Because especially when
you're trying to hook people
into it, like some, there's like Andor,
right? I think Andrew did one and two.
And I think there was a good move.
There's other shows that I think like need one
and two because you're like, I don't know if I'm on board.
Oh, okay, I'm on board.
This one, I think most people are like, okay,
Loki's back because, again, only thing I'll say about two.
I didn't love two.
Love three and four.
But two.
It's like, and so I don't know if I would left people with that.
Let, let this week go, and maybe I'm wrong.
Winston and I both didn't like him.
Maybe people like this one.
And it gets to, once you get to three and four, it just hits.
So I'm okay with them doing it.
Plus it's only six episodes.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
So yeah.
So I think that they want to make sure that you have like,
you know, they're going to have that six-week run of...
God, six.
That's a one-night binge, even for an old fart like me.
I could do that.
Yeah, and I like that they're doing that with this
because they're basically telling the story they want to tell,
and they're not just adding stuff to add stuff.
So I...
You know what's ultra-confusing is when you start,
you go, oh, new season of Loki's out,
and you start it, and you get about 10 minutes,
and your wife goes, wait, isn't this the season one?
I'm like, no.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
I've done that before.
I don't know which show.
Well, if it says season two.
Yeah.
And it's like the big banner one, and you click on that and it goes to the first season,
then that's on you, Disney Plus.
And Disney Plus bastards.
But I don't know.
I'm very curious to hear what you guys think about if you think it's too confusing.
I can't imagine it that a lot of people do.
Or I shouldn't say that.
I think people are going to be like, yeah, it's supposed to be confusing.
I think most people are going to think it's supposed to be confusing.
but I wonder.
So please comment and let me know exactly whether or not you think that is accurate, inaccurate, all that and more.
All right, before I move on, because we're going to talk about some other things.
I wanted to tell you guys, I've talked about them before.

It was, I don't know if you ever.
Heard about it.
It's fairly new.
It's called The Lost Boys.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It just came out a couple years ago.
A couple years ago, 1997, I think.
Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patrick.
Oh.
And the late, Corey Hame, Corey Feldman.
Corr Feldman.
The other guy that plays Corey Feldman's brother.
Who is that guy?
Old Chip.
What's his name?
The name was like Eddie or something.
Yeah.
I don't remember that guy's name.
And then Diane Weist plays the mom.
It's a classic 80s movie.
You got to get it.
I want to go to a Corey Film and concert with you.
I would love to.
I've been watching.
Should we set that as a goal?
Yeah.
Oh.
Should we set that as a goal?
Yes.
If we go, no matter where, if he's in Vegas,
yeah,
oh, Vegas would be the best.
And we'll record it.
Yes, going there and see if we can get behind the scenes or something.
That is the,
I mean,
have you seen the one where they're like,
here comes the comeback game.
It comes to come back.
I can do,
it's like a car crash.
And then he comes out and they start playing the wrong song.
And he goes, no.
And he's still.
Yeah, we got to go.
We got to get.
That would be great.
Like, what is he coming back from?
What do we set that as?
I'll set that as like 1,500?
Yeah, that we'll go, we'll buy, wherever it is, we'll go, we'll try to get behind
the scenes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, backstage.
That's what I'm saying.
Oh, yeah.
We're trying to do whatever we can do, like, to make it full video out of it.
Autograph copy of Lost Boys.
All right, let's set that.
You know what?
You guys, see, this is how the magic happens.
We're going to set out and I can tell PLD, well, at 1,500 patrons, at 1, 500 patrons.
Brett and I will go to a Corey Feldman concert.
We'll get the best seats possible.
We'll get front row.
We'll get front row.
T-shirts.
We'll do the whole thing.
We'll put the video up.
That's a great idea.
I like how this is going.
Corey Feldman, God, bless you or damn you, I can't tell.
I don't know.
I'm going to tell PLD that.
He's performing all the time, right?
Oh, yeah.
He's all over the place.
So we got to, you know what we'll do with that 1,500 to give the audience
an opportunity to, we'll post a poll of,
like which show, like whether it's Vegas, L.A., whatever,
and we'll let the audience decide which one we go to.
That's insane.
Because it's going to be funny for five minutes.
That's what I'm saying.
We're going to be miserable.
Oh, Jesus.
He's got to sit through the whole concert.
And that's a full, dude, that's a full video.
Oh, man.
And that, wow.
Wow.
All right.
Anyway, Lost Boys.
When was the last time you saw it?
God, probably
on HBO when I was a kid.
Oh, where the last time you saw it?
Yeah, I don't think I've seen it.
It's got a great soundtrack, by the way.
HBO Max, or Max, I guess,
it's on Max, and I had gotten the Blu-ray.
It's so weird how this thing, you get the,
you'll have, you have the Blu-ray.
Yeah.
And yet, you can, all you can do, pop it in,
if you want to watch it, but it pops up on digital,
oh, there's a loss point.
So I watched that.
I watched Beetlejuice.
Ooh, yeah.
I watched it.
My daughter had never seen it.
I never seen it because she had, she knew,
she actually asked you like,
let's watch Beatles.
I was like, you want to watch that?
She loves Jenna Ortega.
Yeah.
I was like, you want to watch that?
Because Jenna Ortega's in the second one.
She's in the second one?
I was like, you just wanted to watch Beetlejuice?
That's cool.
So we watched Beetlejuice.
Wait, wait.
Is that they're making a second one?
Yeah.
Oh.
Everybody starts shooting.
I mean, well, you know, it's funny.
In 2014, I think it was.
When we were running Shmowsno.com,
we actually broke that story.
and then they
then it's just been
you know development hell for however long
but now
they actually there was like photos of
Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega
like together
and she plays Lydia's daughter
obviously and yeah so it's that
but the first one is it's just that both those movies
are so good and then the other one we went from 80s
to 90s and then we transitioned into
a romantic comedy with my best friend's
wedding oh okay that one's
she's a real asshole in that movie,
really Robert. Do you remember the story?
No, no. The story is essentially
she and
Dermott Moroney,
who were like, you know, I guess
they dated in college or a little bit
afterwards, and she's like now a successful
food critic, and
she is, you know,
she's single, whatever it is too,
but she's kind of selfish, whatever.
And then he tells her she's getting
married. He's getting married.
And at first, she thinks, like,
at what time we made some agreement that at 30 something
that we were going to marry each other so she thinks that's why he's
calling her and then it turns out she he's getting married
to Cameron Diaz and and then she goes basically yeah
he's like I want you to be the best best man whatever
and she goes and she's uh and she's there and she tries to sabotage
the whole entire time she's because she thinks she's in love with them
and she if it wasn't the fact that it was Julia Roberts in like you know
the late 90s and she's
Charming and it's Julia Roberts.
Yeah.
It's very hard.
You'd hate it.
And it's very hard to pull off that role.
I think it's a testament to how good she is.
Yeah.
Because like any, I was just thinking about it this morning.
I'm like, any person playing that role,
the audience should hate you.
Like, they should hate you, but they don't all the way through because it's
Julie Roberts.
And Cameron Diaz was fairly unknown-ish.
I mean, she had done the mask, I think, in like 94.
So she was kind of coming up the scene.
It was like three years.
You know, she was early 20.
20s.
Wow.
But yeah,
let's see.
So that's,
those are the three movies
that I had seen.
I was watching some news stuff.
But I don't know.
What about you?
Do you watch anything over the weekend?
I didn't do.
And Lonnie was out of town.
She went to see Awall Nation concert
and like Ventura.
Oh, I saw that.
She posted on a friend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You look forward in nights like that sometimes?
No.
No?
I don't like being alone.
No?
Never? Not really.
I feel like I'm,
this is the thing.
She goes to a day job that's like eight, eight hours, and then her drive is so long that I can't wait for her to get home.
But then she gets home and she wants to be alone for a little bit.
I'm like, I've been alone all day.
Yeah.
So I get it.
I get it.
I think that for me it's like, you know, I guess because I'm still in the thick of it.
I got a six-year-old.
Yeah.
So like, although my six-year-old is.
So Brett helped again.
We'll tell you some fun stuff today.
But.
I had to go.
Oh, man.
I made my day.
It's good stuff.
So I put us in this mood, I think.
But we had this little, my dad got my daughter this car,
like one of those zoom around cars,
and Brett had put that together.
But it's like she's flying off the curve.
Oh, so good.
Mary Andretti, is that still a reference?
Sure.
Dick Trickle.
Sure.
And for a six-year-old reference, it's a good one.
But either way, it's like she's loving that stuff.
We put that together.
She's been riding around the block on that thing
and just having a blast with it.
But one of the things this morning, by the way,
this is where we have the...
I'm sorry, I can't get up.
You see a neighbor kind of smiling at it,
and you go, you get a regular dick trickle here.
That's a real...
That's a real...
Is that a real risk card driver?
But you go, just see that reaction.
Yeah, yep, got a regular dick trickle.
Don't listen to him, honey.
He took his wife to a sex club.
He hasn't been the same since.
Hasn't been the same since the rhinoceros penis.
But we have the washer and the dryer in the kitchen.
And the stupid thing, handle broke off.
So I'm trying to jam the thing back into it.
And then eventually it just keeps popping off.
And I was like, I can hear it click.
I can hear a click.
And my mom said, just have Brett bring the superglow.
I was like, no.
Figure this out myself.
Look around.
I said, anything that I can work besides you just clicking in.
So Brett, what happened?
I came in with a super glue and, uh, see.
She goes, yeah, Christian tried to use an Elmer's glue.
I dumped half the bottle in there.
And guess what?
For about 36 hours?
It worked.
It worked.
And then the glue.
That tells me that this will work for a little bit.
But I did tell her, I don't know what, the fine print.
on that repair is that things like that usually you got to just find the part yeah and i took i took it
down i'm going to google the oh the brand is it on there right there yeah no i took no i i put it up but i
took a picture i made me when i took it down i mean like i took down like the model and make of it
because oh okay usually you just got to buy a handle who needs it um anyway let's get back to some
stories so you guys are here for right all right skeleton crew this is this a series i've been
looking forward to, and I'm just so damn curious about it. I know that, like, Jude Law is a massive
name, right? That's someone that you want in your series for sure. But, yeah, like, the fact,
again, it's got to say Star Wars Skeleton Crew, which I believe it's going to, it has to say
Star Wars Skeleton Crews. If it's just run on Skeleton Crew, it's like running Bumblebee,
and you don't have the Transformers in the name, and you're asking for trouble, because
Assoco is one thing. If nobody knows what the hell this thing is, and this is, and this is, and this
is the actual synopsis now, Dark Horizons. With Asoka having wrapped, we still have one last bit
of Star Wars to arrive in the next few months, the Skeleton Cruise series. Next few months,
I thought I was going to be in next year. As previously reported, the series is set during the
Mandoverse era and is tonally said to be Amblin-esque and akin to Goonies or Stand By Me, and we also know
it's about some kids who become lost in the Star Wars universe. Comparisons have been made to the
animated Star Trek Prodigy in the past, which involved a group of young prisoners
who stumbled upon a lost experiment Starfleet ship.
An official new synopsis for Skeleton Crew has been found in a copyright filing and published
via Mando 3 updates with the detail seemingly reinforcing that notion.
In the episode of Skeleton Crew, we are introduced to four kids who make a mysterious
discovery on their seemingly safe home planet and get lost in a strange and dangerous
Galaxy, finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a great adventure
than they ever imagined.
John Watts directed the pilot episode, and it's got Jude Law, Ryan Kira, Armstrong,
Robert Timothy Smith, Robbie Kavat Konoros, and Kiriana Crater, to which I pronounced
Jude Law correct.
However, the big question is whether this series will cross over with the other Mandoverse shows,
and if so, will it impact the overall saga leading up to?
to Dave Filoni's team up movie.
John Favre already indicated earlier this year
that some of the characters and locations from Skeleton
Crew could show up in the four season of the Mandalorian
and Skeleton Crews expected
to premiere on Disney Plus either around the
year and or early next year.
Okay. So there's
a lot here. I thought
for some reason that they had already said
that Skeleton Crew was getting pushed back
and maybe that was just an unofficial report
that people thought because of the strikes and everything
that that was going to happen.
I still would bet
let's see, Loki is going to be over by
if by the end of October, it seems like.
Maybe pushing into November, but early.
So if they're going to do Skeleton Crew,
and Skeleton Crew is going to have eight episodes, we'll say.
I mean, that's pushing from December into January,
which had they done before with Mandalorian.
It's possible.
The only reason I think that's,
that is still a good possibility is because you've got to get
acolyte out,
I think that's probably going to come out at some point in early 2024, unless they push this to February, March, and then, you know, push accolade to later on in the year.
So that's part one.
Part two is, once again, I think that they just have to figure out how to market this show, how it's going to tie into all of it.
Putting it out at the end of this year is also a good idea because to try to get out as much as possible, because they're trying to.
to get Dave Falone's movie out by
December of
2006.
So you need to put out skeleton
crew, Mandalorian, and Asoka
Season 2. So you've got to have
three series come out
leading up to the end of
December 2026 if they're all going to
tie in.
Any of this stuff pop out to you?
I just, you know, down with love
is one of my favorite movies with Jude Law.
So I'm excited to see whatever
time. It actually is, but
Yeah, it continues.
Yeah, this is a continuation of that.
Yeah, I mean, it looks, I didn't do Asoka yet.
I don't know what it is.
We haven't, other than Mando, yeah, we haven't really jumped on anything else.
I don't know, it's not like a fatigue or anything like that.
It's just, they're all like, oh, yeah, we'll get to those.
We'll get to those.
But you jump to Loki, which is interesting.
And I put, so I put a poll up on the channel, and I put, if you can only choose,
right now, Star Wars,
DC, Marvel, and
One Piece. What would you pick?
Marvel. You picked Marvel.
Yeah, I think I'm, you know, not like a
fighting over it kind of, but I think I'm a Marvel fan
more so than anything. It's funny, I thought Marvel would win.
Star Wars won. Yeah. And out of like 6,000 votes.
And people wrote this, and I don't think they're wrong,
is that a lot of the audience that found us is because
whether it's the old Star Wars show that I did.
Yeah, yeah.
So I have a very strong Star Wars fan audience.
I'm aware of that.
But I also found a lot of people that were brand new to the channel that were also voting on it.
And it was amazing.
I thought Marvel would have won.
I thought Marvel definitely would have won.
I don't know why, but I'm drawn to Marvel shows more so.
I don't know.
I just like Wanda Vision.
And like I think we've watched all of them except for.
for a couple.
Did you see Secret Invasion?
No.
Is that,
that's out now?
Yeah,
but apparently wasn't that good.
So you didn't say,
She Hulk?
She Hulk?
I didn't.
Okay.
So I didn't do all of them.
Maybe it's probably,
but that's probably,
Loki.
Maybe I just like the Avengers.
Well,
Loki's great.
Loki's a great show.
And I think that,
and you mentioned the two best shows,
Water Vision.
There have been other shows.
Did you see Falcon and Winter Soldier?
That I didn't. That's weird. Now I'm a liar.
I'm a liar. What was before, what would have been before, Wanda Vision that would have.
The Wanda Vision was the first one. Okay.
That was the first TV show. It was Wanda Vision. It was Falcon, did you see Hawkeye?
No.
So, okay. Maybe I just have certain.
You did, no, what you did was this. It's like if someone, if a restaurant puts out two great dishes.
Yeah. And it gave you both great dishes.
but the rest of the dishes have either been subpar or garbage,
but you haven't had any of them.
Yeah.
You're just raiding them off the two great dishes.
Yeah.
Because I think I only watched Mando and nothing really.
I started by myself.
I started...
Andor?
No, no, the Obi-Wan.
Oh, okay.
I started that by myself.
You should watch Andor.
Yeah, I've heard that.
I think it's just a matter of...
I just let her run the ship so much.
That's another thing that we're going to be doing too, again, just to throw up back to what we're, the new plan that we have with Patreon is we're going to do a lot more.
As you guys have been seeing, I actually did a reaction to Loki.
I did a reaction to One Piece.
I did a reaction to Asoka, a few episodes.
We're going to start doing, like, actual more watch-alongs, like, more re-watches.
And, like, he hasn't seen a ton of stuff, like a ton of stuff.
So we'll do, like, first-time watches with him, and then, like, the full footage will go up on Patreon, but we'll put all.
the video up here for people who aren't able to do it.
The cut down pieces, the way that we have been doing it with the actual footage in there
and stuff.
So I think that maybe something like an Andor would be interesting too.
Like, you know, watching Andor with you.
Yeah. I've been down for that.
And then I'd like an excuse to watch these.
I don't know what it is.
I honestly, it's like I feel like I'm an imposter sitting here.
But I know who you are.
They know what.
I have like an Instagram real addiction, I think.
Like I'll sit there.
They call it doom scrolling.
I'll sit there and I got a television right there
where, and I've always talked about
like, you damn kids, don't watch
long form entertainment and now I'm sitting there
just going, how much of it is informational?
Percentage-wise, how much is it informational?
How much of it is just like...
Twerking videos?
What was I going to say? Filth. How much filth do you think?
It's a good mix of filth.
I think I have an eclectic.
It's so fast to answer.
I think I've got
I've got DIY stuff I love.
What's that? Like, do it yourself.
Like I love watching.
and like our life hacks, you know, at which I never, I pin-
Any of that have super glue into?
No, Elmer's, which barely holds wood together.
No, it's actually, that's the only place you should use it for children's crafts and wood.
Okay, DIY stuff.
I like cooking.
I love to see those kind of, I do, I get-
Wait a minute, wait, you like cooking stuff?
Yeah.
If you guys really like cooking stuff, let me tell you about Green Chef.
A little bit about green chef
Listen, we'll get back into your stuff

Today, I made a whole bunch.
I threw it on the grill,
some of this organic chicken that they had.
And I made this burrito out of it
with the stuff that they sent.
Oh, my God, it's like the most fresh ingredients,
and I'm not BS in you guys.
It is.
My wife the other day, she said, do you want to cook?
And I said, yeah, let's do it.
And I say, and I can talk about it
on the year next week.
And it's, they send it to you,
they send all this or stuff
and every single time.
I think you and I said this.
It feels like Christmas when it shows.
Oh, yeah.
I love it.
I love it so much.
And you guys, go ahead,
And the best thing for me is I'm not adventurous with food.
I'm into like, I like this, I like this.
I'm not as bad as my kids.
But this has actually gotten my wife and my kids trying new stuff,
and I'm blown away by like dishes that we,

those videos. And then, yeah, what, and I, if I like something, I'll put it in Pinterest, and then
I'll just tuck it away and never look at it again. As you said, as you're saying last week.
Never look at it again. So you never, but you could be watching other things. But look, I have the same
thing. There's so many different movies, current movies, and current TV shows.
I can be watching things that be, even things from like four or five years ago.
I got a DM not recently a little recently going, you should check out Punisher, man.
It's an awesome series on Netflix.
I love John Burncliffe.
I want to see that series.
And I have got to the place where I'm like, all right, I'm going to push play.
And I started for a second.
And then I watch Lost Boys.
Yeah.
And then I watch, you know, like, Beetlejuice and I watch these movies.
There's just something about the 80s movies that I keep, I got to go back to and watch.
But like, but yeah, so I get where you're coming from.
It's weird.
It's a weird thing.
And it's, I, I get.
I get mad at myself about it
and I go, God, this is probably what my kids are doing.
They're just fast content, fast content.
And I've been actively trying to get them out into the living room
and trying to watch something.
Soon they will.
Soon they will.
I've got tons.
But I'll tell you, it's funny you say that,
because that's why we have also made a push on this show
to do a lot of short-form stuff also,
because this is the way it works.
It's like you can't just rely on the long-form stuff.
There are people who listen to this podcast.
I was blown away by, I did it again, I did another poll the other day.
about people who, how many episodes they watch,
or a lot of people who watch, like,
between three to five a week
or listen to three to five a week,
but people are like, yeah, I listen to it in the morning,
and whether I'm going to work, I'm done,
it's like, it really does,
and I know it sounds cliche sometimes,
but it really does, like, all the stuff
that people have to listen to.
Like, it does make you go,
we're doing something right.
Yeah.
Because it's like, okay, the fact that people would want to,
we're making them laugh,
and I, I mean, today is,
you're going to get a perfect example of that.
Like, don't take your kids to school with this episode.
I'll tell you that.
Like, I'm warning them 45 minutes into the episode.
But I do, the short form contact that I do go for the long form is the stuff like that you put out.
I will go to, I'll watch comedian specials because I saw a few clips.
If they hit me a few times, I'm like, okay, yeah, I'll check that out.
So that's one that has, it does draw me to other things.
But yeah, I got to, I'm like, I got to straighten my.
self out, not do it too much.
There's a fine line. It's fun. I got to tell you
though, because you remember Rick
Ingram, right? Yeah. Rick Ingram is
a very close friend of mine, and
I think one of the most underrated
comedians, maybe all time.
He is absolutely
hilarious. He is, he
made, so Rick and I became
comedy store regulars together around. He
was actually working there. He came a little
bit after me, but not much, but he
became like, he was a big store guy
for a long time.
But what he did, I remember when we first started together,
he was doing material, and he'll tell you, his material,
he felt like he was kind of going through the motions,
but he was so damn good at crowd work.
And he made a career out of just crowdwork.
And in time you're like, okay,
there's no one better than him at it.
There's no one better.
What I have seen recently,
and I'm sure you have seen it too,
on Instagram, there's a lot of comedians that post, like, their crowdwork.
And so this is from Rick Ingram.
As a crowdwork comedian, I want to live in a world where it's trendy for comedians to post videos of themselves doing an unimpressive prop comedy.
It will be as good as your bullshit crowdwork clips.
Yeah, because there's some of them where it's like, you know, comedian totally destroys him.
And you're like, no, you did destroy them.
There's one, I'm not going to call the person out, but there's one guy, I guess he's been blowing up and he's his crowdwork.
And I don't know what it is.
He might be the nicest guy.
His voice drives me nuts.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know.
It might be the nicest person in the world.
But I see him doing any, and it's like this thing.
We're all guilty of it.
I've done it.
You've done it.
Comedians sometimes when they're on stage feel like yelling will get them out of trouble.
Oh, yeah.
And this particular, I just yells, yells.
And it's like, and it's not that this stuff wasn't funny to be saying, but it's just like,
I just like, nine in the morning and I'm scrolling.
I don't need yelling.
That's what takes me out of, I really enjoy, I think you should leave now.
and but then if you
if I binge that
that's oh god I never remember the guy's name
it's a sketch show
he used to oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tim Robinson
and it's I mean
I'm crying laughing sometimes
but sometimes I'm like oh if you just took it down
a few notches and weren't yelling in this one
right you know it's a lot if you watch if you binge wash it
you'll be like fatigued with
well it's a crutch it's a crutch I mean it happened I mean
like I said I was definitely guilty of it
especially when I was starting from,
it was my friend Paul DiAngelo
who was just like, calm the fuck down.
Like I would rely on it because if I was in a place
and I could do something, I had crowd work,
and I would get that kind of cheap laugh from it.
But I relied on it a lot.
And to be fair, the particular comedian
I'm talking about is a younger comedian,
so that he...
So fuck them.
Where we might learn down the line.
I don't know.
But I think it is also that kind of point
that Rick's making too when it comes to
if you get a lot of clicks,
you might think that, oh, it's working for me.
Yeah.
And so maybe it is.
I don't freaking know.
I love that Opie stuff.
I constantly see him pop up.
Opie's the dude.
He's going to be huge.
Opie's the dude.
I love Opie.
I love Opie.
All right, let's go to another story here.
All right, speaking of Marvel and TV shows,
and speaking of Wanda Vision, Brett, there it is.
Not only Agatha,
but Ironheart and Agatha have new release windows.
Now, this was something we talked about
on Capes and Cowles.
weren't sure when that was going to happen.
Now, there's no mention, by the way, of Echo.
But let's see.
With the second season of Loki now underway on Disney Plus,
there are obvious questions as to when the next Marvel series
will be hitting the streamer.
Echo, there we go, expected to be the next live-action Marvel series
to arrive in January 2024.
After that, though, Agatha, Dark Hole Diaries,
and Ironheart managed to finish their shoots
by May this year in November last year.
Daredevil Born Again, however, had to halt its production
due to the actor's strike.
It was to film throughout this year,
but it's now certain that series filming
will spill over into a chunk of next year as well.
At last report, Agatha was set for a late 2024 bow
while Ironheart was pulled from the schedule altogether.
Now the direct report is a series of recent filings
with the U.S. Copyright Office.
It looks as though both Ironheart and Daredevil Born Again
are looking for 2025 debuts.
Each of the listing include a project data publication,
reportedly have Echo coming on January 10th, 2024,
Agatha, Dark Hole Diaries on September 19th,
Daredevil in January 2025,
and Ironheart in September of 2025.
These dates are likely subject to change,
especially when the release landscape becomes clearer
once the actor's strike is over,
and production on the shows can resume at full speed.
So there's a lot here because Echo was rumored to,
so Echo was a character in the Hawkeye series.
I know, I saw it.
No, you didn't.
But I didn't, and I think a lot of people don't really understand why that character necessarily got a spin-off series or other series that probably, it doesn't seem to have been a very highly anticipated series.
I think it's a gamble.
I think at this point they've shot it already, so you've got to put it out.
I don't know how good it's going to do, and I hope that I am wrong.
But I don't think it won't.
I think it's going.
I mean, of all, if we, going back to things that I've missed, even in the Star Wars or the Marvel,
The stuff I've missed, I've known the characters, you know.
That's something said Hawkeye, right?
If you're going to, if you haven't, if a casual viewer missed Hawkeye, you're not,
if you didn't, if you were on this show, you would know what the hell echo was.
So I think that's going to be a tough one.
Ironheart is they were banking off of the Black Panther 2 success and it very well might still carry that over.
I'm not sure.
I think that they were trying to sell that show prematurely in the movie and they
should have waited to greenlight that until after the movie to see how the character
responded with people.
Maybe it responded better than I thought it did, but we'll see.
That one's got a better shot than I think, like Echo does.
I think that I understand, and you get Ryan Cooler in it, so I get that show.
Isn't Iron Heart?
Wasn't that a Val Kilmer movie?
Wasn't it?
Yeah.
Thunder Heart.
Yeah.
Something hard.
Something hard.
Something hard.
Let me just take out.
Just called Heart.
Let me just, the things that should stay in my brain, let's just.
Let's just say them out loud just to throw stuff off track.
Now you're like, what was I talking about?
Who knows?
It doesn't matter.
It shows themselves.
There's also the Bob Chapeck of it all.
Bob Chapeck, who was running Disney before Iger came back, kind of mess things up.
So I think he greenlit a lot of stuff that maybe you piece them out the way you do it.
I think putting two out a year is a lot smarter than putting three or four in the same year.
Plus that also shows if January of 2023,
or 24, rather, is Echo.
Well, then Skeleton crew has a decent shot
of coming out at the end of this year
because they don't want to trample over
and have a Marvel show and Star Wars show
at the same time.
They did that with, I think it was,
was it Andor and Shehulk, I think, at the same time,
which was a mistake.
So I wonder how they're going to make that work.
I don't know.
Not sure.
Anyway, very curious to hear what you guys think
as far as how this is planning to come out,
are you surprised that they're all still coming out,
or you think it's a good move
that they're actually putting them out at the time
that they say that they're going to put them out?
What say you guys?
All right, Brett, not too much to talk about today,
although by the time maybe we released this,
there's some more news, but this was from October 6th,
and this was that studios expect the sag
after talks to ramp up and dig deeper beginning today.
Hey, Monday.
After a slow but steady restore,
of talks of a new contract negotiations between SAG and the Alliance of Motion Picture and
television producers, AMT, MQRS, WXYV, have expected to ramp up and explore deeper issues
and sticking points in the bargaining agreement.
Three insiders with knowledge of the studio side of negotiations told the rap.
According to the insiders, the first two days of resumed negotiations this past Monday and
Wednesday were largely focused on the CEOs who led negotiations with the WGA, Bob Eiger,
David Zazlom, Donna Langley, and Ted Sarando's getting up to speed with the leaders of the Actors Guild Negotiation Committee.
While the CEOs have been briefed by their labor teams and the AMPTTB.
Get a new name! President Carol Lombardini Monday marked the first face-to-face discussions between them and SAG President,
Fran Dresher, and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree Ireland on the contract.
SAG's chief contracts officer Ray Rodriguez and negotiating committee vice chairs were also at the talks with the CEOs.
All right.
The contracts are, it's happening.
They're continuing to go into more of a conversation.
And I feel like it's going to be over this.
Yeah.
The wheels are in motion.
It seems like it.
It seems like heavy ramping up to begin today.
I think it's just like, all right, let's just get it done.
They're in the mode where it's not, it's not one of these things where it's just,
just like, all right, we're going to try to do.
It's going to come out of it.
They, this is the meaning to say, all right, what do we need to do to sign this deal?
Like, what do we need to do?
And then it goes back into play.
I would say, let's make a guess.
I say the news comes out.
They've come to a deal on Wednesday.
Wednesday?
Yeah, what do you say?
Start, starting, I'm going to say.
Now, they've been negotiating already.
So they just said it's ramping up today.
I'm going to say, like, you always put news like that right before.
for the weekend.
So you think so?
Okay.
So then if that's,
let's say either Wednesday or Friday,
if either one of us are right,
and then it's,
they start to put it into play,
have the lawyers look at it.
What do you think?
When's everybody back to work?
Do you think within the next week or two,
or do you think November 1st?
I'm not sure how contracts like,
you know,
if it's news of like they've come to an agreement,
but nothing has been signed or like,
that world is confusing to me.
So I don't know.
I would say, you know, if it's going down,
that we'd get people out there working as quick as possible.
I don't know how long.
We got to ratify it.
And I think that's what happened with, like, WGA, right?
So they came to terms, they shook on it,
and they said, I've got to ratify the thing.
And then I think within like a week and a half,
people were back going back.
I think even less than that was some of the talk shows.
So if we're at October 9th, I mean, look,
it's possible if they get it done this week,
It's possible that next week start.
But I think the business really starts to pick back up by November 1st.
I'll get my acting shoes ready.
Get them ready.
The M.P.m.
What was the A.m. thinking, though?
About what?
Did they think that people were going to give up?
Yes, they did. Of course they did.
That blows my mind.
Of course they did.
They thought that people who will forsake anything for a career in something that very few people get to be in would give up.
I think what they were banking on is exactly how the misconception of what this thing is to the public,
meaning the public that doesn't really know the inner workings and just go,
what do actors need more money for?
What do writers need more money for?
And they don't understand the people that you're talking about, right,
that are just sort of job to job, trying to find the gig, barely getting health insurance,
those people, right?
I think the studios were banking on the people who make the cushy living
and that are consistently getting jobs to go,
hey, I can't have this disrupted.
And then who cares about the ones who do it all the time
because they're not the ones that are going to be put,
because the Jennifer Aniston's of the world
and those people are not going to want their money,
the money that they're making,
but all of them, because they've all been there before.
Yeah.
And they actually went back to that.
They remembered it.
They remembered it.
That's what the studios were banking on for them
not to remember that, and they did.
And that's why when you saw these people
on the picket lines doing all these different things
for people who would, you know, big-name actors doing this.
It wasn't, some of it was PR, but it, but it was also because they were, they'd been there before.
My favorite was Harlan Williams.
Do you ever watch any of his stuff?
Yeah, he was, he's like, I'm, I'm a, hey, Sag Strong, you know, and WGA.
And he goes, I go to the picket line.
I see a guy and he's got something written on his sign.
And he goes, oh, yeah, it's nice.
Did you write that?
He goes, yeah, yeah, I did.
He goes, fucking scab.
It's pretty funny.
Get out of here.
It's good.
Anyway, so very curious what you guys think.
Put your opinion there.
Let me know.
Do you think that it's going to be over this week?
Do you think we're going to still, is it going to be a, something happened?
Is it going to be a snagging in the negotiations?
Or are we going to make this thing Dunski?
Let me know.
I want to get your thoughts.
Once again, just a reminder.
So here's where we are with Patreon at the moment.
And 1,000 by this month, Winston will go to Hollywood Horror Nights or what's
called it's Halloween Horror Nights. One of those
are not scary. No, no, no, it's Universal
Halloween Horror Nights and it'll be
the end of this month. If not, he'll
go in 2024, but once we hit to a thousand,
at 10,000,
Brett's going to be jumping out of a plane.
We're going to put the whole video over here, which
would be crazy. At, I guess
