What is this one? say. Co-host camp. And what's that one say? Steph. So I gave that to you because I know how badly you wanted to be Steph today. I honestly, if I got to see her on the way out. I got to see her on the way out.

Your neighbors are going to. You were hollering from the streets. I saw that. Yeah, you get excited when you see Steph. Cat calling her. To be fair, I think we get excited when we see each other. Yes. Yes, we all did.

Also. Oh. Not us. No. No. No. She, Steph and I see each other. I'm just like, oh, it's the person I wish I was.

And she's like, oh, it's the person I like that likes me. There you go. This is going to be a fun show because there's a lot of stuff we can catch up on. And all jokes aside, you can see Brett and Kate, not only on their show, Brett and Kate's played it on the S-E-N live Patreon, but you can also find Brett five days a week, or at least four, on Twitch, on the Shmodown channel, on S-E-N-Live. that is 10 to 12 p.m. Kate Mulligan is on two days a week, 10 to 12 p.m. It's been going good. It's a lot of fun on the Twitch.

It is. We had like a really fun. We had a couple of really fun days. I'm still like Twitch to me is still a real. Foreign. Real mystery. Yeah. Like, oh, some bits.

How wait. Also like they put up a poll the other day. Ben put up a poll in the chat. Did you dance on it? Yeah. And I danced on it. Yeah. And then they both, apparently both Winston.

And it was about this candy corn suck or not. Oh, yeah. What was the, what was the, the, what was the results? So Ben's paying some sort of coins to keep voting. Yeah. Whatever you have, Bitcoins, some doge coin, whatever they're called, whatever those points are. And Winston was doing the same thing for his.

So we have no idea what the actual results are. Because they were both just sitting there like, I like candy corn. I don't mind it. Yeah, I like it. I'm in the, I'll, I will eat any candy. It doesn't matter. Lickish?

Black liquor, even black licorice, you know, anise is what I believe is the flavor. I don't think it's anise. It tastes like anise. But yeah, no, there's not a candy I won't. I'll eat that anus. I'll tell you what. Oh, yes, I'm just going to go right out over there. The chocolate, you know, packs, the seas candy.

In 2000, what, seven? I would eat the anus. I'll eat the anus. He should a t-shirt. It was. It's the on. I'm sorry, go ahead, Brett. You were saying something super important about streaming.

That candy, I will eat all candy, and I hate when people will take a buyout out of the one in the chocolate things and not finish it because they, like, it's like if it's coconut or something or if it's a raspberry firm, like, then I have to finish it all that. You just got to finish all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But also it is disappointing when you get the raspberry wand. You know what?

It's still candy and chocolate. I like raspberry. I want the caramel. Do you know what I've been eating because I can't eat anything, you know, It's good anymore. However, I'm eating like these yogurt bars. It's frozen ice cream yogurt bars. Holy shit, these things are good.

Are they? Yeah, there's like so many different flavors. What's the brand? Who knows? The brand that I can eat, it's called, I don't know, Simple Truth. Oh. Do you know what it's called?

So is it just the yogurt, like the tube that you give the kids that you freeze? No, it looks like an ice cream bar. And it's like, there's like a raspberry cheesecake flavor, low calories. This is caramel, salted caramel. A big fan of this. And a mint chocolate. If you like this kind of talk, you're going to love the Brett and Kate show. We talk about food a lot.

Do you call it the Brett and Kate show now? Brett and Kate. Brett and Kate don't either. Put her in the lead. It's Brett and Kate. It is. Brett and Kate's play day. Wait, I have to say, can we get it at Costco?

That's all that matters to me. I don't know. I get it at Rouse. Okay. I get it at Rouse. And I buy each flavor and I have one every day after day. Oh, every day. It's delicious.

It's delicious. I've been eating well. But I did want to talk to you guys because I know that for, especially for parents, where going to the movies is not easy to do, especially now, but going to the movies in general, not easy to do. And we've all been kind of deep diving into television. First thing to ask both of you guys is what, what's on the tube in the Mulligan house right now? I love that you say it's the Mulligan house because it's technically the Murphy House and Mulligan just happens to live there. You're on the camera more. So it's the Mulligan House. It's the Mulligan House.

That's right. right now Grizzly and the Lemmings It's Netflix for the voice Grizzly and the Lemmings That's what James likes to watch I don't know It's like what do you watch for yourself

Oh I thought you're saying What's on the Molligan house? What's like that? What? When the kids are Let's start the show over Come on Kate We've talked about this

You have a life outside of the kids I'm sorry I'm so sorry Do you though? I'm sorry I'm so sorry I really am sorry You do you do have a life outside

the kids for a little bit of time two-fold laundry. Yeah, and I can't believe I'm wasting it with you two ass hats. I've been watching what we do in the shadows. It's an FX show that I watch on Hulu, and it's the funniest, the crush I have on Taiti. But did you guys know he had a threesome, like in public? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's picture. I mean, he didn't have any, but it was, it looked like it was going that route. It was, and good for him.

What we do in the shadows, you know what I'm saying? Hey, what do we do in the open? Okay, that's what you're doing in the open. I directed Thor. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did. We directed Thor right over this way. Yeah, yeah.

I'm, I'm IG-11. Welcome to my Asgard. This is what we're doing on the Brett Kate. Check out this Ragnarok I got in my book. I'm Ragnarok hard, you know what I'm saying? Whoa. Let's get this low-key. I just can't try.

I'm trying to figure out how to make IG 11 work. It's not going to work, guys. IG 11 is not going to work. My IG 11. Use it, baby. I mean, we have fun. We have fun, guys. We really do have fun.

It's really about fun, but it's also about being serious. What the fuck are you watching that isn't a child show? That's right. Not that all animation is for children. All right. So Tika wipes his prick off. Listen, Tyca Wachini does no wrong. Right.

He's just, that New Zealand, we, I want to, I actually want to, like, go back and become a PhD in, like, cultural comedy. Yeah. Because I have a theory. You're going to say a PA on the set. I want to be a PA on the set. Yeah. And by PA, I mean, pussy alert. He just alert him when there's.

Right here. It's right here. No, I, I think that New Zealand comedy, like Jermaine Clement, Tyco TD, I think, like, the Flight of the Concords guys, like, restart. That show, man. I love that show. I think that that has got, like, I think everybody always talks about, like, what's better, British comedy or American comedy? And I feel like New Zealand has to be in that conversation. Especially those guys.

But, but so you love, so this show, so it, I know the movie, I still haven't seen the movie. And I know that the movie is, like, people love the movie. And then, have you been watching the show also? I watched, I watched it. I didn't know, I don't know if there's a second season. Did you figure that out or not? Of the TV show? Because she was mad that I didn't tell her about this show.

serious about this. He was like, oh, yeah, that's great. I was like, how long is this? There's actually a third season coming out. There's two seasons on Hulu right now. Okay. Okay, good. And there's a third season that's about to drop in, like, September.

And the funny thing is, Dickie had worked on a kid's television. Are we allowed to talk about it, kids television, if it was a job? Yes, as long as you actually talking to the mic and not towards this way. Yeah. So he was on the show. And I'll give you what you want, Christian. Thank you. She's talking to Palpatine over there.

Might as well. James loves Palpatine. Makes me nervous that he loves him. So, yes, IG 11. She still trying to figure out how to make it work. Finish your fucking point, will you? What was my point? No way.

You're coming up with bits. What was my point? I can't believe you haven't seen the film. I had to review that for one of the breadth of the futures. I mean, you can't believe that I haven't seen it. Come on. Well, that was back. I know.

It was back when I was seeing things. No, I haven't. But you were talking about season two and season three was coming out on Hulu. Oh, Dickie used to work on a Nickelodeon show. And one of the recurring characters was this guy, Harvey Gien, who played a cousin on that show. And we were like, this guy's so talented. And what is he doing on this children's show?

Like, he's one of the leads on what we do in the shadows. And it's like such a nice. And it's not that, it's not that, because like Thomas Lennon's been on that show that Tick used to write on too. Because like, especially when you have kids, you think about it like if your daughter's favorite television shows what like if you got your daughter's favorite actor that would come in and do an interview right right right i mean greatest it great a thing so so vivian loves mandolian right katie's coming in next in like a couple weeks and like she loves bocatan so she loves bocatan so i'm going to have obviously hopefully vivie's not in school when she's

here no you pulled vivie out of school yeah i know but uh but yeah so absolutely i know i know i know exactly how they might It's just for sure. So, but you're just like, so that's why all of these great guys are like, we'll come and do a day player part or whatever on these shows. Nicole Sullivan did it too, but this guy, Harvey Geehan,

doesn't have kids. But he was just, we were just like, this guy is such an asteroid. He's just like, with Tyka, though, does he direct these episodes? I know he's a producer on,

obviously. He writes a lot of them. Of the TV show? How does this guy find the time? I don't know. Between having threesomes in an alley and. I mean, honestly, he must be writing.

He's not weighted down by all the, C-U-M that builds up, you know, right? Spell it out. I know. No, that's an inside joke between Lonnie and I, we're like, what the C-U-M? Spelling it out just seems worse than saying. I thought the inside joke was that you heard of get rid of all that extra weight that's holding you down. Sorry about all that C-U-M, baby.

It's just, it's worse than saying it. It really is, because you got to go, oh, because you like take it. like a split second once you spell it out and like your brain registered. You're like taking time to think about it. Yeah. No, thanks. No, I'm good.

Sorry, but all that's see you up. But you know, that builds up and you get sluggish. You know it to work. Tyca's not got. He doesn't have that problem. He's vitalized everything. Blastin off every fucking 20 seconds.

But he's a, but he's also, you know, speaking of blasting off. He's doing, he's doing, he's doing, I mean, he's,

he's, guys doing so much stuff. And he's, and it's not like he's just, wow, this guy's working too much. He's, It's the quality is going down.

It's all great stuff. And he's, I've had an opportunity a few times to interview him, talk to him. He is a funny dude. This is what I'm saying. Funny dude. I mean, Taika what Titty. Am I right?

So we went. See what I did? He was working on Ragnarok. He was in like the final stages and we did this thing. We went to, they brought us to like the Marvel plays. We were walking around talking to people and he was in the room by himself. Come on in, guys. We started talking to him.

He showed us like a scene from the movie and all that. But then he came into Collider and we did a couple like shoots with him. And then we were just hanging with him. And it's like he's not a guy that it's like, look. So Sean Pulaski is a friend of mine who was a comedian who ran these comedy store. You know, Sean. She used to run this. Did you ever go to her July 4th parties?

Oh yeah, yeah, with you. Okay. So they were great. That's how great they were. You don't remember I went. Honestly, dude. Honestly, but I believe. But, okay, these parties were great.

Oh, yeah. and you always got a story from them. A lot of CUM. Yes. And craziness, but in general, craziness, but the one thing that I hated the most about it is anytime you're in a pocket of any way, they're all comedians.

Oh, yeah. So every time, bits, bits, bits, bitch. Everybody's just like, you could see people in their eyes, like, waiting on and throwing. That's not Tycoa. Tyco, in the conversation, it just, as you and I are having, a conversation right now, whatever just happens to flow out of his mouth, it's funny.

Yeah. Right. It's not like he's setting it up. Right. And even if he is, you can't tell. Right. So he's, I just made him so much hotter to me. I'm a massive fan of him.

Huge. From what he does. And so, which is even more baffling that I've never watched the show. I'm telling you. The film was what we figured out was 2013. Yes. And I was concerned that the show wouldn't be. I mean, because to follow that film, to do the show,

I was like, this isn't going to work. This can't be. And it's without them being the characters because he was in it. Right. And Jermaine was in it, right? Yeah. So it's like, they have one cameo in the show. There's like a, they go to before the vampiric council.

Oh, yeah. And Jermaine and Tica are in it. Yeah. And it's just, it's like their sensibilities completely. I do, you know, to, to no one's surprise. This is just, it's like you could play a recording. with me saying this at this point. Started with my life.

Watch a little bit of it. No. And we moved on. Oh, of the film? Of the TV show. Of the TV show. No, of the film. No, of the film.

Oh, really? There's something about these actors, too. I love, I am a sucker for great acting in a show. I'm sure some people are like, my thing is I want good writing. But for some people are like, I love directing. I love, it's got to be good. I, for me, it's got to be good acting. Yeah.

Because you can say any line and make it not shitty. A hundred percent. Well, so this is why I've been, like I said, I was on every show. I try to do it. Mention the Sopranos. And I'm still about season five now into the Sopranos at the moment. But there is a scene because Sadie doesn't watch it with me. But for that one, I don't give a shit.

I'm just watching it because I want to finish this whole thing because it's coming out of my birthday, the new movie, right? So I've been watching it, but I called it. There you go. So I called her over and I said, Sadie, you got to watch this. because she appreciates good acting. Yeah. Right. So it's a scene in season four where, do you know the show?

Do you, I mean, I know. I've talked with you before. Yeah. Most things from you. Well, so they, you know, Tony. I know the basic premise. Well, Tony has had many gummars and throughout the years, and Carmella just has it. Like, it's, yeah.

I've been quoting this so much that I shit you not, my three and a half. year old has been saying the following is this mrs. Sopromos my three if I say to my three and a half year old is this she'll go mrs. So his Russian Kumar who he was before I calls her up and says he's been fucking my cousin. Right. And so Carmel is like loses it and they have this fight. And it and it's such an authentic East Coast fight. he comes home, he runs over his golf clubs that are in the thing because she threw him out the window.

He's throwing all this shit out the window. And then he's like, calm, what's going on? And she goes, get out of here, you shit bag? And I'm like, that's such a, it was so real. And he runs up the stair and they just have, before you guys leave, I'm going to show you the scene. Because I can't show you on the air, obviously, because it's copyright. But it is such a great scene knowing exactly what you're talking about, the acting that. the acting that brings out the power.

It's also, obviously, you've got to have good writing inside of it, though, too. 100%. There are some, but I'm just saying there are some people that are like, oh, I don't care if the acting is terrible. But some people are like breaking bad, it's the writing's incredible. But it's also like, yeah, but also you can't have the actor. A hundred percent. And the chicken man to Gus Frane. You could have great writing, but if the person can't deliver it the right way and it's not believable or likable.

Yeah. We just did this whole thing on Friday for the, um, we're rewatch of a, Attack of the Clones for Star Wars, right? And it's like, and Hayden Christensen, if you look at a lot of his stuff, he's a, he's a good actor. He was in the, in that attack of the clones, he, George Lucas was not helping him as far as performance-wise. It's just the writing is terrible in that movie overall. And that's why I'm so glad he's getting another shot in, in Obi-Wan series is coming out. But, bro, what are you watching right now?

I hate, after you talked about it, not my kids, after you talked about it, we did Paradise, we did Bachelor. Oh, you're watching Nebraska. Because I was like, I gotta watch this. And was I right? Yeah, it was a train wreck. It's a train wreck. And I'm actually, yeah, I'm actually enjoying him. Is it on?

Or are there two this week or whatever? Yeah, I think the guy stopped with this fucking hog flipping out all over the place. And he's, dude. Oh, yeah. Ridiculous. He had him. He had, you could see his mic pack. He did.

That was dumb. That was dumb. That was a stupid. But I love the confusing David Spade for David Chappelle. Oh, that was the one I talked about. So one of the girls says, oh, it was really great. to see Dave Chappelle and it's David Spade and it wasn't it wasn't like

misplacing it it was like she legit she was an imbecile David Spade wishes David Spade was very funny on that show but they false advertised that fucking shit he's only in like one and a half episodes and he's like oh you got a new host and then he give you Lance Bass

Yeah they're switching up The Lance different he's he's all right I'm never an in sync guy But like he's either way Because David Spade was David Spade says to what's the what's the one girl the what's the blonde the crazy one Demi Demi so this one who causes all the shit yeah she comes in last year she had a girlfriend on the beach or two years ago she had a girlfriend on the beach and so they was she got

engaged to the girl they broke off all this so David Spade goes so who you're hunting for this year right and she's like I'm gonna be I can go you know it's like I like men I like women but I'm gonna be looking towards men because he says to her he goes you're looking for the pee you're looking for the D. That's what he says to her. And it's like, that's why for people, like when people,

like anytime on Collider Live or anything, we brought this up, like, oh, stop talking. It's like, this is what I'm trying to tell you. This show is just, if you didn't have the bachelor name to it,

and you just, it is just a car crash all the way around. And a good, and a good show to watch with, you know, a significant other for sure. Because you just goof on it the whole time. Yeah.

And the things they get upset about, like, Jamie got upset about something. It's just like you, And then people that it's like when they kicked off of something, like, or they leave. I guess there's no chance for me. You're 23. Shut the fuck up.

I know. You're hot. You're 23. You didn't win this game show. Shut up. It's because the producers are master manipulators. Oh. I've been there.

Oh, yeah. I've been there. And they do. And they know how to get these people in a frenzy. They know how to get them to do what they want. And are they friendly to them? And do they become friends with them? Yes, 100% they do.

Are they also? I had a guy say to me who's no longer there, but he was there when they were like, and I've told this story many times over, I was,

when I was working there, I was in, before Bachelor in Paradise, it was Bachelor Pad. And that was the spinoff show that they were going to continue to, but it was, that was,

you think this is great? This was like, this should have been on VH1 or MTV. Like people fucking in the house and doing games and all this, but like really like rock, this is more rock of love than it was. This one at least fits like the,

well, we're looking for love. Yeah. But this guy is they wanted me to be a producer and start traveling along to be all over the world and do all this stuff. And my first kid hadn't even born yet. We were about, but we were going to try. So I knew, plus the fact, I don't want to be a fucking producer on The Bachelor. I wanted to work there and I wanted to build.

I was building up Shmo's at the time. So I was doing all that. And I was in the post stuff. I would be on, I would be there for the house and watching everything. But then I was back at the office, which. is not too far away, and I would just, I'd fucking bagel Tuesdays. It was perfect.

They would have some coffee, and I just watched footage, and it was perfect, but they wanted me to, because I did Bachelor Pad, and I worked with a lot of people on, like William Holman, who I'm still friends with, right? But they had this conversation, and the guy said to me, he goes, you cannot look at these people like people.

You have to look at them as characters. They are not real people, they are characters. You have to go in with that mindset, otherwise you get attachment, you can't do your job. and I remember leaving that meeting going, all of that made sense. It is not for me.

Yes. I was like, I understand. Like, that's how you're going to make a successful show out of this, but that is not for me. That's funny, because I actually feel like you would be very good at that.

I feel like you are, you have a great writer's mind in terms of, I was good. I was good on this show. Like, Bachelor, like they wanted me to do it. And I turned down going on the road. I turned on all that stuff because if I wanted to,

yeah, hey, we need, we really need some sound bites out of Kate. Should we got to get her talking about? whatever, you know. It's like, you got to, and it's like, all right. C-U-M. Yeah.

But whatever, it's like, get her talking about it. Did she, did she fool around with someone, so? Like, see if you can bring it up. See if you can get her talking about it, you know, or talk about why she doesn't like so-and-so. You know, just get her talking about it a few times. And they would talk about it on camera, but wait, go back to what you just said. And then like, I got it.

I got it. I got it. And it's like that type of thing. That's what you have to do is a reality TV producer. It's like, it's part of it. But like, I just like, that's not for me. I just, I felt, I, I made attached, like, so one of the girls that I became kind of close with on the, on the set, her name was Gia. She was a sweetheart.

New York girl, she killed herself, like a couple years afterwards, too, and she was. I didn't see that story going there. No, no, but I was, but I remember, I remember, I worked with her just on that, on that show alone. Yeah. You know, a couple months. Do you feel like it was your fault? It's not that, not that one. But no, she was, but she was, she was a sweetheart.

She was a real sweet. But I had, and I worked for two months, and I remember being just like so fucking bummed when it happened. And I'm like, I'm not even close to the kind of relationship that a lot of these producers have with this people and be able to do that. I'm sure that it's tough, man. But some of the shit they get these people to do is incredible. They have people show up in like cat costumes and shit. These people don't think of this stuff. Like the producers go put on a fucking cat costume.

It truly is a game now. I think it started out kind of like, we used to have to convince our friend that like, they're not looking for love, you know that, right? This is kind of, you know, but she's, nobody really loves it.

No, okay. Some of these fuckers have kids. Yeah, it happens. But for the most part, the people that are watching, that are on it now,

watched it since they were old enough to watch it and know it's a game and know, if I'm the crazy girl that gets drunk and spills wine all over the place, then I'm going to come back the next night because the producers want me to come back and cause it. And that's why there's always, a villain and the villain always, you can always predict it.

It's just like, like, oh, is the villain going to go home? No, it's episode one. The villain's going to not get sent home until fucking episode three. If you pay attention to the way that it's planned out, it's a structure. Well, I am not, I mean, I watch that when my wife is watching it on Mondays, but like I said, I've been watching, everything I'm watching is all either old school shit or stuff. I got, like, watching the Star Wars movies, which has been a lot of fun.

The prequels have been fun to rewatch, for sure. Were you, I forget, you are. You liked the prequels always. Not always, no. But I'm saying like your least favorite of the nine is Last Jedi, even if you think it's the best made. Yes. I don't, I think out of the three,

as far as being a well-made film, there's no argument against it being. Anyone who says it's not a well-made film is wrong. I want to give all of the sound bites so that no one comes for you. That's true. But storylines and actual enjoyment of movie, it's one of my least favorite. And attack of the clones used to be, right?

I watched Attack of the Lones last night, and I've said this, if you want to watch the full breakdown of it, it's on this channel, and it's Mike Kalanowski, myself, and Steph talked about it on Friday, but it was, it's not a very well-written movie. It's, I mean, it's a poorly written movie. But if you watch it like an episode of the Clone Wars and you look at what it overall does the way it ties into the rest of the saga,

including the animated series and the movies themselves, it plays. It plays well. That's exactly what I was going to say about it. I actually like it of the prequels. That's my favorite of it. Attack of the Clones is. Yes. Because I'm a Clone Wars girl.

And because you can relate. Yes. And I had to watch it chronologically. Did you watch Bad Batch? Not yet. Okay. So if you go back, if you go back and watch Attack of the Clones after you watch Bad Batch, you like it even more because of the stuff that

ties into cloning and all that. And there's a lot of stuff with Camino and all that. So I find myself, to answer your question, I did not like when I, although I saw Phantom Menace in the theater like six times when I was in college. I saw it because I was so, I mean, being a massive Star Wars fan going, I remember I went on stones on mushrooms one time when I went. And I went and eventually,

I remember my buddy telling me, I don't know how you like this movie. It's terrible. And I'm like, oh man, I'm digging it. And then eventually as I started, I looked at it in different, like after they were all over, those first three movies were over,

the prequels, I said, that's all we're getting, because that's what they said, you get no more Star Wars movies. That's it. It's over now. And I'm like, but that's it.

We're not getting any continuation of Luke. We're not going to find out how this happened. We're not like, it's a completely different tone from what the original trilogy is. And I started, and I stick by the fact. They're not very well-written movies. And they're not intended for adults. These movies are not intended for adults.

The same way I think that the original trilogy is a balance of two. Prequels are made for children. And I realized that I started to find a love for them when I watched Phantom Menace with, my oldest, about a year ago or so. She watched it, and I watched it through her eyes, and the way that she saw it was the way that, like,

like Steph's a Brae saw it when she was, like, nine years. She was like my daughter's age when she saw it in the theater, right? And that came out two years ago. Exactly, but, but. Same thing with me with Blake. It was, I was like, he wasn't hating on the CGI or any of the stories. That's the thing. He didn't see that.

No. Yeah. Oh, yeah, all that. And the, the main character's a kid. and is he like it's it just it's you watch it in through their eyes and you find a different appreciation for it that was part one and then part two is after because remember at the time there was no clone war series there was no rebels there was no these other series once you put it as an overall part of it I started to appreciate it a lot more and I watched phantom

menace which was the one that I used to think I liked the least but I actually really I'm starting I enjoy that movie more more every time I watch it and attack of the clones there's a lot of problems with it. I mean, there's, I mean, it's still, we talk about it in depth on Friday about how Anakin is basically just like a kind of a creepy stalker for the whole, and angry, like the whole movie. But, but because you know where he goes inside of the Clone Wars series and what his persona is, it all plays now. So, revisiting it, it's, it's been a lot of fun. So I've been watching that. I've been watching the Sopranos, obviously. What else did I, I mean, I absolutely, I watched the gallery thing. Did you watch the gallery? No, I haven't.

There's a new one for Luke Sky. Do you watch the gallery series ever? I did. I watched the first couple of those. Okay, so the gallery series for season one, there was like six. Yeah. For season two, there was only one. And there was, where's the one, the whole thing about Luke?

Well, they did that. This whole episode is just about how they did Luke. Oh, fantastic. It's great. That one's on there. I have gotten so close to hitting play on the suicide squad. I feel like, did you watch it yet? No, but I see that it's leaving.

He's the only one to seen it. When's it leaving? September 5th. I have to watch it. I'm going to have to watch it like this week. I have to. I just got to power through. Not the movie, but I just got to, because this fucking dog, I love him to death, but he's a baby.

So he wakes me up every morning. He wakes me up now at like, and I'll give him all the credit in the world because some dogs, they just whine and cry and everything to do. He just, he wakes up 3.30 in the morning, looks up and goes, I got a piss or shit. Your decision. Am I going to do it on the rug or we're going to go outside, Jack? What do you got? And I take him out. Yeah, I take him outside.

I shit in the rug. And then I take him outside. He goes, he does his thing. But the problem is he gets amped up after he takes a dump and he wants to play at 3.30 in the morning. So there's one or two things that I've been doing now. I go and I lay on the couch from like from 3.30 until my kids wake up now because I don't want to keep my wife up also. So I'm laying on the couch. So I either have this pink fucking toy that I'm playing with him.

Or I just let him chew my hand to shit, right? And he's got these sharp little. little motherfucking teeth that it doesn't feel good. And I'm just like, so he's been keep me up. And I like last, like I was supposed to be watching. I had to like power through, um, attack of the clones. And I got to a certain point. And I woke up and I go, I just missed a whole scene.

I just passed out on the couch. I was so tired. So I had to rewatch it in the morning. But, um, but yeah. So it's been, it is, it is very hard. I have, like, Ted Lassow's one that I'm, I have in my, in my head, I'm like, I need to watch The Suicide Squad, I still need to watch Mortal Kombat, which I don't even know if I can watch that anymore for now.

Corella, by the way, is on Disney Plus. It is. Okay. We just released today, or Friday. Video Drew actually had a birthday party. As Corrella. Well, she was dressed as Chorella, but she rented out a theater, and she invited, this is at Universal Studio.

This is like June maybe, okay. But she invited a bunch of us, and so she invited me and Neil to come, which I thought was so nice. So we got to go in a private theater. theater with just show you watched the movie oh you watched it in the theater because it was the only way I was going to take Neil to a theater first of all how great the movie was a lot of fun music was fantastic in that film and how great was our boy uh Paul Walter Hauser love Paul Walter Hauser I mean there's

not a thing I've seen him in that I haven't loved him in I think I wouldn't say this on the air with Mike I think Paul Walter Hauser has a good chance of beating Mike Kalinowski in the tournament in the singles tournament yeah they're playing each other yeah whispered nobody'll hear yeah I think I think it's I think it's I think it's I think it's I think it's I think he's a chance of Paul Walter Hauser, for those people who don't know, is playing Mike Kalanowski. I didn't realize he was in the tournament. That's exciting. It's going to be good.

That's awesome. It's going to be good. Did Corella change your views about, like, because you didn't want to see Nurch or Ratchet because you didn't want people that are evil to be. I remember you talking about this. Oh, yeah. I was like, why are we glorifying the villains? Yeah, yeah.

Great. Yeah, because I'm going to ask you this, Kate. So that's a great. I think that we're probably on the same page because it's why I really didn't. like Maleficent, right? Because Maleficent, their first movie, they changed it. And she's not really mad. She's not really evil.

She's not evil. She just pissed off because she was slighted. But even, even though she's slighted, she's not evil. It's like, Maleficent's fucking evil. You watch that movie, she's evil. Cruella, you didn't see Corella. No, I want to do not. Yeah.

Corrella, they do it right. They do it right. Like, you see, you see why she turns into an asshole and why she stays an asshole. She's, she's trod on. Yeah. And we liked Ratchet and because they weren't. trying to make her they show

no she was she was what I don't want is like a movie called like McVeigh like humanizing a dude that blew up the Oklahoma City like I don't I don't need to know what horrible things befell him because like one thing that didn't happen to him is

he didn't have his child in a daycare that was then blown up by somebody else because that's what he did to people so like that's I'm not realistic stuff but I think like yeah well I thought I thought and Crewella I thought Corella, because you saw the movie,

I thought Corella the way that they kind of set up. You know they're not real people, right? Quora and North Trent. What do you mean? But, yeah, no, she, they're not. She didn't get the, she didn't want Dalmatians. No. There's not a woman didn't make?

No, no, there's not a woman named Corolla DeVille. She was a, she was a cartoon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she looked so real. Anita, darling. Yeah, but there was, I mean, it is, like, Emma Stone, I thought had a lot of fun with it, too. Again, that's another person

She can do no wrong way. But that actually plays into what I think The overall topic of this show What I wanted to talk about And before I do that, ladies and gentlemen, because we are going to talk about Streaming and places to go, shave your balls!

I love Manscaped. Dickie's got it? What? No, Dickey doesn't have. You don't want, you know, but you don't want them to. Well, this is, I'm not good for this app. I'm not good for this. Because you like, you like, you like a bush.

I love sucking on the hair. Really? I really do. Why is it? You get it in your mouth? Yes. Oh, you like that. I, don't you want to be filthy?

Let me give you. The floor is yours. Go ahead. I think, now, I could be wrong. Yeah. I could be wrong. I think... Spit it out with you?

I think sucking the hair into your mouth and then sort of tugging on it. Hmm. Oh, while it's still attached. Not like spinning at them. No, like, given the... And then, like, you know, you put the whole... Okay. Wow.

Yeah. I like it. Hey, whatever, whatever makes... Hey, you're married. married for a handful of years, so you're doing something right. Hey, we get, uh, you know, you guys've been selling a lot of manscape, but then cake comes in and kind of, you're like, yeah. But that being said, I actually think that, I think that all that matters really is a person's confidence. And I do think that, like, this is obviously a device that makes people feel way more confident about it.

I don't like having a lot of stuff down there. I think that's, it is. I think that's true for a lot of people. And I think that all that matters is, like, in the bedroom that you are confident. But I'm talking, you know what? Get the thing. And it also, and especially you have two. of them you can because no i know i'm going to the barber you just shave your head with the

fucking well for the record that is something that we have to do for both my well there you go and my right so you get one of those they're great razor yeah phenomenal no i know phenomenal phenomenal that's what that's the people i did a shit i should have done that but did my last ad as uh as arnold should have done the should have done the manscape's one it's busey if you make sure that you shave your balls and you should you should do it because it feels uh it feel nice if you you take one of those rages and you put up there. Don't chop tomatoes with it because you chop tomatoes. You can run up, chop your own tomato.

That's not good. Good. God only original devils. What does that mean? I don't know, but what I can tell you is that you have to make sure to shave your balls, Manscape. Manscape.com used the big thing. I used the big thing one time to kill a raccoon in my backyard.

We wound up trying to kill the backyard. It killed the backyard himself. I took a big grenade throw it out in the backyard. Backyard didn't die because apparently backyards are not a lot of creatures. But the raccoon was, did not kill the raccoon. Raccoon sat down next to me, had some breakfast. We made some eggs.

A raccoon, apparently was not an egg. It was a donut that I left in the toaster. The thing that's really unnerving about that is like all of that, you have, like, access to all of that. Just right there. He just takes over. Just hanging in your frontal lobe. He just takes. Because what happens is, in my head, I'm not here anymore.

And all I see is Gary sitting next to a raccoon, and they're eating. Donuts. And true to Christian improv skills, he not only negates other people, he negates himself. And put an animal. And puts an animal in there. And it's an animal, yes. There's an animal, but it's not an animal. It's also a chair.

And it's like, you know, and then he had an egg, but it wasn't an egg. It was actually like, yes. Christian no ands himself. No foul rules. Can I tell you the other day, I did something that I thought was so funny. And nobody laughed at it, but honestly, actually Alex Marzonia did it, but somebody... Hair in your mouth? Well, yeah, I put a hair in my mouth and I flossed on a little bit.

No, I, excuse me. I was like, I accidentally negated somebody when we were improvising about something. And I was like, I mean, yes and, no. That's what I said. If you start, yes and, then you can still say no, because I yes and is you. Yes and, no. Yes and no. It's the best thing to do to people during.

an improv thing. I'm just going to sit in that chair. That's not a chair. That's not a chair. That's a blowtorch. Okay. I got a blow torch this room together. Well, where'd the elephant come out?

Yeah. Yeah. And tell me about the squirrel. You're doing what? With a squirrel? You should be at home shaving your balls. With manscape, not sucking hair out of a grown man's balsam.

Taint. His asshole is right there. Yeah, fine with it. For me, it's the dry, the moisture that can build up there. That ball deodorant, I'm telling you, whether you like whatever you're doing down there or not, the ball deodorant will make you, you probably go back for thirds. I think don't, don't you guys have a pheromone thing though? I'm just like, yeah, for sure.

I will live in my husband's arm pet if I could. There's something, I just, oh, I just, I smell it, and I'm like, I'm done. She'll live in the woods. I should. Yeah. She's like a wild animal, like I'm running at you. I'm home. Yeah.

Lay down. And I'm done with you. Just leave him in a pile of leaves. Like, don't you guys remember, like, when you got together with your now spouse, like, wasn't like, You'd smell their neck or... 100%. You're like, ugh. I recently was telling Lina, I'm like, what happened when you woke up and you tell me that my...

I smelled like maple syrup on my neck. Yeah. And she doesn't do that. Yeah. It's just done. It's like, what was that just because I smelled like cigarettes and smelled like micles or not? Did you smoke? Oh, yeah.

How long? How many years? I've smoked. You still smoke? No, no, no. It was about 10 years. We did, right before Blake was born, I, I remember you with cigarettes. Yeah, yeah.

But I was never one of these people, like, I knew people that would get up and just immediately light a cigarette. I always had to have like a drink in hand, a cocktail or something like that. It was something. There's the bread I know. Yeah. A lot of people that needed to have a couple of drinks with it. But even anything that was, like, I knew somebody that would wake up, walk out on the porch, start smoking. I'm like, you have had no liquid.

your body. I got lucky, man. I'll tell you what, I smoked cigarettes for like one week when I was like 16. One week, my great influence.

My ex-girlfriend bought me a pack of cigarettes for my birthday and I smoked for one week and this guy at pizzerias, this guy, Tony at the pizzeria. This is made up. I swear to God.

I swear to God. He took it and he told my mother, which actually, and I was pissed off at the time, but I was, it was a good thing because I also didn't like it. That was part one.

and I then I went to college I've talked about before but I was tripping on ass at one point in in college and cigarettes were the gateway drug yes now I hear it but I was and I remember being out my buddy Chris Jones right and we were out they had like this

swing out in the back of I went to Iona college my first year before I went to Florida State I went to Iona college and it was like this swing and we were out there tripping nuts this big open like field where they had in the back and he's like dude take take a hit of the cigarette man And it's crazy when you're tripping, right? And I hadn't smoked since that time.

And I, because I was tripping, I took a hit and I could feel I felt like the toxic, like poison in my lungs. I felt it. Like I felt, maybe it's because of the acid was enhancing it. Yes. But I felt it. And I'm like, never again. I have to this day, I have never picked up a cigarette. Do you know, I've never in my life smoked?

Not even had a hit of a cigarette. It is such, it is, that to me. Don't ask about weight. Yeah. I smoked last night on, on, uh, uh, We'd, that to me is... We did it. We'd go out to the river and we'd share...

Just like a Bruce Spring. No, for real. Down by the river smoking cigarette. No joke. It was the best place to go. Nobody was around. And we would share one or like, and it was like, okay, we promise we're not going to smoke anymore as soon as we stop because you'd get like a head buzz and stuff like that.

It actually, Nick a team will give you a buzz. I don't like that. Although I did do chew once and chew. That'll jeez. I was. I was, that was like spring break in college and like the guy, I wanted to like hang with the dudes. Oh, wow. That's, that makes you tingly.

That makes you not feel things. And then I puked and puked and puked and puked. And I just kept doing it. It was a, yeah, I hope my kids never do. The worst part right now to get on my soapbox, it's too easy for kids to start smoking because it tastes like fucking candy. Yeah, vaping. Like, no, you go get a marlboro red. Stim.

And then you try. try smoking with that. Try smoking with a marlaret. You know, you're kind of fucked up. You have a really dizzy spinning thing in your head. Hey, I remember one time I was out on the floor. Yeah, I was smoking a lot, and I hit my headband myself out the door. No, I didn't.

I went somewhere. Instead of hanging out with an animal. Said it was all right. He was not a cannibal. No, he didn't say that But he said Well, he said Hey, everybody's cool

Took some donations And then I bought a pool How about the fact that you said Camel and Cool Which are both cigarette brands Oh How about it? Fucking brilliant

Yeah Yeah Yeah No, I didn't do that I was a thing I've heard enough Acid stores To know why

Sometimes things are Starter squirrels And then they're not actually Squirrels It wasn't actually squirrel It was a trash can And, you know, I mean, like, okay, that makes sense now. That makes sense. Everything, every time, always assume that when I'm doing it, I'm talking about being on acid while I'm doing it.

That way it makes more sense. We recently saw a hot rod where he's taken Bill Hader to the hospital and he goes, he's on acid, he goes, hospital and he goes, hospital and boy, it's a trash. And he goes, nope. I need to see that movie again because I saw it, I saw it once. I saw it once in the theater and I walked out in like. Really? I need to revisit it, to be fair. How many movies have you walked out?

Can you count on two? hands? No, I remember the first one I ever walked out on was Bushwhacked with Daniel Stern. Okay. That one I remember, and that was a dollar. Paid a dollar theater in Florida. Mark Ellis and I walked out of year

one. We had an agreement that once a year each one of us could walk out of one of the screenings together and you have to follow it. Year one and Sex and the City was we both used it. That was brutal, the second movie. But

No, Hot Rod I had done, it was a double feature. I just watched one of the Harry Potter movies. It was like three hours long or something. And then I walked in my buddy Mike to watch Hot Rod and we're like, this isn't hitting for us. Let's get the fuck out of here. And so we left. But I should probably check it out.

It's dumb. I mean, it's dumb. It's all right. And you have to like how dumb it is to, you know, that adults are playing people that are, you know, in. Do you like Andy Sandberg? No, do you, that's what I was just going to ask you. Do you, were you around, you weren't around back then?

Rebels of Comedy and White Boy Comedy when he used to perform on the shows. I'll murder you all. What do you mean he used to perform on the shows? So Andy and I used to do shows together at the improv and everything too. And so, Andy Sandberg, I went up right after Annie Sandberg.

I remember at the improv, this is 2004. I have a T-shirt that I'll show. It's so funny. It's with the Rebels of Comedy and it's got his name, my name on the whole thing. Dude, I love him. Yeah, so he was always, I always got along with him very well.

And then where I lived on Blackburn, there was a laundry place over there that I used to do my laundry at and he used to do his laundry all the time so I used to before he blew up obviously not now that would be a problem but I They're just like us

Well he but he's not But he honestly though He honestly is a really good dude Oh I remember when he had He had just blown up And lazy Sunday came out And all that shit came out And I was at the

We went to this Grammy party or some shit That my buddy Eric got us into And he shows up And he's got like a fucking entourage with him because it was just, you're just blown up. And, you know, and I was like,

I didn't know how he was going to act because I had seen them and I was like, hey, Andy, you know, how are you doing, he's like, it's Harloff? I said,

I didn't think you'd, you'd recognize me. He's like, what the fuck he's talking about? He's doing the shows all the time. He's like, great. And I just thought,

you know, he was everybody was bothering him, so I left him alone. But I haven't seen him since. I mean, that was the last time I saw him. I saw him. That was.

I just always think of him as such a New Yorker, because that's when at that laundry place that yeah I see him there all the time maybe just flew from New York to do his laundry to do his laundry but at the improv but yeah because he was you know and then he was auditioning I remember he was auditioning for he was working stuff out because he was going to audition for Saturday Night Live because Franco was like yeah Andy's coming in to do a spot because he's auditioning for Saturday Night or next week and and so yeah I remember yeah I used to talk to him shit all of the other time he He was a very, he was a really funny.

And you and I both loved Palm Springs. Love Palm Springs. Love Palm Springs. And also, I don't, were you a fan of Brooklyn Nine-N-N-N-D? No. That's funny. You weren't. I haven't tried.

I think I tried it, but it didn't, it didn't hit for me. I think Chelsea Peretti is so funny. Okay, but I mean, Palm Springs was, was great. Yeah, it was great. But the one bit that he did on Saturday Night, because I remember Winkleman, I remember watching Saturday Live because I said, my, I used to do comedy with his He was on Saturday Lab now. He's like, who?

And I was like, this guy, Andy Sandberg. And he did, in the first one that I remember seeing him do with Winkleman was the, he did the Swedish chef from the Muppets. Did you ever see this? No. I don't remember any sketches he was in. I just remember the digital short of it. But he was, you remember he was the Swedish chef as, uh, and it was hysterical.

And we were, and I was like, okay, he's going to fucking pop. And he did. He's, he's, he's had, obviously. I don't feel like they used him in a lot of sketch stuff. No, he revitalized S&L with the digital video. Because the Lonely Island stuff that he was doing. That was like big for them. And I mean, they've continued to do it.

Of course. Not to the same extent. Obviously, he was, he was the guy that he represented a generation of the digital YouTube and all that stuff. He brought that over. Because I remember being a Warner Bros. And these things popping up and Lazy Sunday was, that was it. And then dick in a box and all that shit too. Anyway, getting back to...

Yes, thinking of dicks in a box. But same conversation, as you mentioned what we do in the shadows, that's Hulu, right? Yes. Obviously, Disney Plus, we watch a lot of shit on. What would you say is your, and this is a question for the audience also when you're commenting,

and I've been commenting back to everybody, so make sure you, please leave a comment. It's been fun to be honest. It reminds me of like 2008, where I go back and just having conversation with people and engaging with, the audience. It's been, it's, it's been something I think that I needed to kind of, it's kind of revitalized my love for doing this again. And the audience has been great. I did a Facebook post on

my Facebook page that I haven't done in like years. My Facebook page, not like my normal. And there was so much, and I basically told people about this channel. And I let people know about it. And some people were honest. Some people said that they had fallen off. Some people had particular issues of why they left in the first place and some people were maybe not just interested in Schmode out anymore and they wanted more conversational stuff. Some people were tired of the Smobot. Some people didn't want. And it was just such a great way to connect with everybody. And I was going back and it was like 500 comments on this thing that I had done. And it was such a great way to interact. And I wanted to make sure that I did the same thing for this show. And I have been.

So I say that with you guys. I want you guys to get involved. Let us know what is your like, if you want to put like a top four, top five in the comments, so what are the ones that you're going to? Is it Disney Plus? Is it Hulu? Is it Amazon? Is it Apple? There's so much stuff out there and there's so many different shows.

And I get Netflix. I mean, Netflix, it's so funny now, it was always Netflix first. Yes. Not Netflix first anymore for everybody. I agree. Yeah, so which. Except for my kids. Give me your top, give me your top five.

What's going on in the household? In the household. Household, including my kids? Everybody. Everybody. Household. Hulu? Yeah.

For the adults? Yep. then HBO for the adults. Yeah. HBO Max. HBO Max, excuse me. And then Netflix for the children. Yeah.

And Disney Plus for the children and the adults. Yeah. And then fifth I guess I would say Apple for Ted Lassow. What do you got, pro? I think Apple TVs are our big one now because of Lassow. Yeah. And you shmigoooo, we were watching. Oh, yeah.

We're kind of all over the place. It's, I don't know. Depends on what it is. Yeah, yeah. I think it's, I hear somebody say something on the show, and then I'll go, oh, I've got to check this out. So I think that's how I determine a lot of it, which is also why I tell Lonnie when she goes,

hey, this looks good. I'm like, nobody's mentioned this. Yeah. I don't think this is going to be a good movie. Where do you wind up going, though, like, do you find yourself usually clicking on? Which app do you find yourself clicking on the most? I, God, that's tough. Use the microphone.

Might be Hulu. Might be Hulu. Hulu. Hulu? Yeah. I'll know. So, Hulu is probably, I mean, I have that bundle package. So, do you have the live TV?

No. Oh, you have the Disney Plus. So it's Disney Plus, ESPN and Hulu. It's like an extra like $4 or something more. And I was like, yeah, I'm definitely, I might as well get that. I don't use ESPN as much as I probably should, but I love it. I would say because a mixture of, see, HBO Max I've been going to a lot lately. I haven't gone to HBO and the Sopranos is probably one of these, but it's the releases of the movies.

I'm not on Patty Jenkins page when it comes to not liking the same day release, but I'm also not a filmmaker. Yeah. You know, so I get, I get her gripe on it. I love it. I think it should continue forever. I know it will not. But I love HBO Max. But it's Disney Plus and HBO Max right now.

I use, and then it's probably like, it might be Amazon. HBO Max, Amazon. Amazon. Yeah. I would have to do more research because now I'm thinking Amazon too. too. Yeah, because also there's, you connect different ones to Amazon,

like stars and you can, within that. That's why. That's why because, I mean, I used to do HBO through Amazon, but now because the HBO Max, I don't. But Paramount Plus, I've been using more now because there's a lot of kid stuff on there.

Paul Patrol and all that shit. Like my, like so, and they're starting to put in a couple more movies. And, you know what I've been, and in Peacock, I've been starting to play around with a lot more.

Because it's only, peacock's only $499 and you're going to get all the universal titles and all that stuff. There are commercials at the 499 level. I can't with that. I had to do the 999 level. Okay. And that was just because while we were on, well, and then I canceled it, but it was while

we were living with my parents in the winter for a bit, we didn't have any of the Harry Potter movies with us. And my son and I read the book and then now that they're coming to HBO Max now. They're also on who. They were on. Peacock. It was Peacock because it's universal. Right, right.

Well, I, that one's, it's not crucial. It's not one of you, you don't really, but I've had, I, I've had. have it. I think it's it's it's pretty good. I've been watching quite a few but Paramount paramount the reason like that Paramount was for that movie that Mark Wahlberg did a terrible irreversible whatever the hell it was called what the hell was that thing? And that looked good to me and I'm glad you told me before because I was like yeah I don't figure what the hell it was called it wasn't re-reversible whatever it was um in infinite yeah infinite irreversible was a very different movie um but yeah but I went up keeping it because my daughter watches all that she watches everything

on it. But they watch, it's Disney Plus for all the, she was watching like Elena of Avalar right now. We're watching all the Star Wars movies. That's the thing. Star Wars and our family, where is the Star Wars movie? Disney Plus will never go away. Disney Plus and with all the Marvel shows and everything that they have now. And it's cheap still. And it's still cheap. So that one is, but HBO Max, I found, and their, HBO Max has the best category of movies. Like the older, older, and, the older, older, and, and new. more movies and like Netflix I myself I go to the least now I've I've thought about canceling Netflix I won't because of stranger things I want to see stranger things and I don't there's not

a lot of Netflix I watch it I heard Netflix has had a lot of inappropriate relationships with their secretary so Netflix is probably canceling itself you know what I mean yeah yeah nice well done we did it we did it we check it out on the breton cage show The Brett and Cade show. But yeah, I just, I find myself going through, I think, HBO Max, and because, and that's pivoting over to basically the comments that Patty Jenkins made, right, about the same day release thing as right now with the variant, that's the only way I'm watching movies.

It's either, like, I know a lot of people still go into theaters and we've had this conversation. A lot of people know I'm not going to theaters right now, right? I'm hoping that I can get back to because I really, there's certain. movies I want to see on the big screen. I want to see Dune on the big screen. I want to see Spider-Man No Way Home on the big screen. Those are two movies in general. There's other movies. I want to see the Matrix on the big screen, but I'm happy as shit that the Matrix is coming out on HBO Max. I'm happy as shit that many scenes of Newark are coming out on HBO Max day of. I don't have to wait for it. I love that, but it's a matter of how they're going to restructure how movies are made.

That's what you have to do. I think the other thing that's like, no Nobody's actually brought up, and this is, I'm actually about to make a serious point. So you guys just hold your jokes. But I was going to say, I think about, like, Dickie has a cousin who has CP, who is wheelchair bound. And I think about how amazing it is that they don't have to put him in the van to get him to movies anymore. And I'm not saying that people that are, that have any sort of disability, don't want to go in person. I know what you mean. No, but it's.

If he really wants to watch and he doesn't feel like going out, he can't. Because in order for Dickie's cousin to get to a movie theater, it's the entire family, like they have to get him into the van. Right. And then they have to get him out. And an opening night that's a packed theater. It just seems to me like it's also, it is benefiting a group of people that has been underserved by this industry.

So that 100%. And even the more, like, say, let's say, selfish people like parents. Yes. And I say that joking because parents, obviously, There's a lot of people, like yourself and my wife, everything you put into your life are your kids. You do everything for your kids. And even if you're-

Lonnie's a piece of shit. She's not here. But I need to say it. I'll say he's over there. Yeah. But yes, but you're, but you're all no too, right? So you're, and you're doing a lot of, all you guys and everybody, we're with our kids,

working with our kids and doing it, having so much fun with our kids, but they're exhausting also because they're children, right? So even if Dickie says to you, you know what? Let's go to the movies tonight. I would die, first of all. He's never said that for instance to me, ever. But if you did.

Let me check your temperature. Are you having an affair? Yes, I am, and she loved the movie, and I love for you to see you as well. But if she, but if she, but if you did that, it is, there is that thing and maybe, let me just go to dinner, let's talk, because we don't get to do that.

Yes. And then we'll just go home and watch a movie. Because it's also, if you take the kids out to the movie, you're dropping, maybe food snacked 50, 60 bucks for everything, as opposed to, hey, the Paul Patrol movie, my kids just watched the Paul Patrol movie dropped on Paramount Plus. Yeah, that's amazing.

So now the Paul Patrol movie, that one I was going to take my youngest. I was going to be her first movie. She still has not been, never been to a movie. So that was a bummer, but I still would have dropped between the four of us going in the movie. It's probably like 40 or 50 bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cost me six bucks.

Yes. Because I have a subscription of Paramount Plus. They watched it, got them some treats, had some food. And that was it. And there are some movies that need to be watching the theater. There's no doubt. But I think having this thing for families is a thing.

I do, but I do feel like there's, I do think there are benefits to this. I think that there are those of us who are going to still want to go to a theater or still want to take our kids to the theater for the first time. But I do think, yes, I think that ultimately, I'm always surprised that Patty Jenkins just keeps talking. because it seems to me like she was also the one that was like, Wonder Woman will 100%, Wonder Woman 2, 1984 will never, never, ever, ever be released digitally

until it got released digitally. But what are you talking about? But that's, but that's, and she really didn't have a say on it, unfortunately. I know, so then don't say, don't talk about it, like you're in control of it. I understand when directors want to hold their stuff, especially when, because the difference with movies like whether it's that one or, or, Dune or any of these movies, right? The thing is all of those movies were set out to be made for theaters.

They were put into the HBO Max plan because that's the way we had to pivot for Schmodeon and put everything digital. They had to pivot. And they go, what do we do? Well, here's what we could do. Yes. We'll probably lose some money on this shit. Yes.

But if we release everything, we can put some amount in the theaters and if people are going to movie theater is great. But if not, let's announce that we're going to put the Matrix out. We're going to do Dune. We're going to do all of our movies this year. And let's see how many subscribers we get. We're going to lose money. But we're also going to get a lot of subscribers.

So then in 2022, let's start making our budgets a little cheaper, but aim them for HBO Max. And then we can still put some big budget movies out in the theater, capitalize there. And then we have a subscriber base now. So I get the strategy of it. I also really respect anybody who's like, I don't want my movie to be released on digital.

I respect that. But what I'm saying is I feel like there's like a certain certainty with which she was speaking about stuff. She's trying to put it into motion. I know, she's trying to put it into motion. I just feel like, what are we? And for us, we are going to the theater. Like you said, we are dates, as few as they are,

our dinner and conversation. We don't want to go sit in a theater and not talk to each other. And we're just as amazed by a film that's on an old 46-inch-el-CD screen. You know, it's like, it's, we, that we enjoy that, and then we can go pee and whatever. So I'm not somebody that thinks that theater shouldn't be supported. I'm not the person that's going to support them. And that's, but that's the other thing is I want to watch. I still want to get back into, and I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I have all these things that access,

and I still haven't watched the fucking suicide squad. But. And we've got to see that opening night, which is crazy for me. Right. Right. We actually saw a film on opening night. And my, my, so I guess there's no, you can't, you wouldn't be able to drag me away from watching many states in Newark.

on my birthday. I'm going to have a big bowl of pasta. I'm going to have a glass of wine. That's my night. I am watching that movie. I might watch it back here to be the fuck away from everybody. So you just watch it or watch it with my wife and then come back and watch it again, right? But I know that I can.

Yes. And I think that there's a lot. I do understand the argument and probably support the fact that what they're ultimately going to do is, I think in order to make the business model work and to support the families that don't want to see it in the theater is, that window thing that they're doing, the 30 or 60 day window, right? So it's, okay, a movie comes out in the theaters. You HBO Max subscriber? Well, you should be because it's going to be, it's going to be available.

You're not going to have to wait four or five months. You have to wait two months. And then it's going to be right on the app. Because there's such a turnaround with all the movies that are coming in in the theater anyway. I mean, I think 30-day window to me would be because that's when the box office starts to kind of dwindle down anyway. And I think you're right.

I think there's absolutely some movies like, Dune for me for sure is going to be a gotta see it in. I have to see it in a person. I really, 100%. Yeah. Not only that. I'm going to try and see it in an IMAX.

There you go. I was, I was so bummed. I had a couple. I had three opportunities to go see Shang Chi in the theater. I turned them all down. Yeah. And I was and it was like,

it killed me to do it. Weird brag. Weird brag. Yeah. It's not a brag. I'm just kidding. I could have taken you guys with me. I could have taken you guys with me.

I could have, but I'm saying like I had plus ones to, to all of them. But I wanted. What would you have? I just was like, because that movie, that one I want to see on the big screen, but I'll be excited to watch it once it hits Disney Plus. That one was not, and I don't love, although I understand why they do it, I still do not love the $30 thing for Disney Plus. Don't do it.

I don't do it anymore. I did it fool me once on Mulan. I did it for Ryan the last dragon because my daughter really wanted to see it. That was the only one I did it for. Because here's my issue with the Disney Plus part of it. if I did not have Disney Plus and Black Widow comes out and then it's $30 on, when you go to Amazon, I get it. 100%.

When you go to buy it somewhere else and it's $30, I get it. If I'm a subscriber, I should have some extra benefits that you don't have Disney Plus. I do. I go there $30 for you, not for me. Yep. Because that's going to incentivize you. Well, shit, I'm spending these monies, things that's coming out. So I think that might change down the line also, but they had to, the reason why I do understand why they did it for this one is the same reason why.

The budgets for these movies were massive and they had to find a way. So I understand. I just hope it's not a continuing thing moving on. Right. Yeah. I, listen, I won't do it anymore. I mean, I just, I don't think, I don't know. I would be like, well, at that point I'll wait.

Just wait. I mean, I've waited for Black Widow. You still have waited for it, right? Yeah. Yeah. I've waited for it. And I really want to see that movie. I'm really looking forward to seeing that film.

And that's probably going to be. I've come close. I've come close. And I go, I know I've got other stuff. I have C-U-M-Gloose. But I have been watching and waiting for that one to come out because my wife and I really want to watch that one. But it's like, okay, well, you know what? Now we have something to look forward to.

Instead of dropping down the 30 bucks and there's tons of other shit that we can watch, even though we still do the same fucking thing of like 20 minutes. How about this? No. No. No. No, I'm not watching Beverly Hills Cop again. No.

No. Another change of book. No. Keep going. No. No. I do a search of Tom Hanks. No.

That's for like a half an hour. Happens all of the time. I can't believe you guys just skipped big. Wow. Yeah. We started watching Big with my oldest. Love. And she, I think she got, she was just like, eh.

Zoltar's a little scary, too. It's all right. But, but it's a. It's a, it's a, it's a great one. Speaking of a big, we saw Shazam. We saw Shazam's good. Yeah, it was fun. Finally soon.

Did you start watching that? Oh, you didn't, you never saw it. No. You never saw it? No. No, don't want to. I love Shazam and the Shmodeau. I love that team.

But not, but not the actual character. I just don't. I just don't. Do you not like Zachary Levi? Is that it? I love Zachary Levi. No, I, I, I, who hurt you in Shazza. Who hurt you?

And why was it an animal named Pete? Yeah. Okay, well, first of all, when he was scratching at the door, that's right. He said, he was not scratching. He wasn't, he wasn't scratching. He was tapping. He was tapping. He was tapping on the door.

He said, let me in. And I said, okay, you're just a fuzzy little, what was the name of that animal? Biscuit. No, it wasn't Biscuit. Shunky Biscuit. Shonky Biscuit. Hello, Shonky Biscuit. Yes and no.

That's right. Look, this was fun. I'm glad that I'm going to actually try to play. the real music this time. I don't know. The Sith Council. It's really dope. It was good.

That's a David B. Special. I can't even see anything. Well, we've learned that Kate doesn't want to support theaters. She hopes they all die. What was it? I'm actually thinking it's really good.
