Ladies and gentlemen Ladies and gentlemen Hey everybody Yeah It's nice to have here on this show What is the show? Oh, it's the council

Oh no it's not It's the movie trivia No Welcome to the FCL Hey everybody Welcome back to S& Live It's with me

Myself and you yourself. Nice to have everybody here today. The great Alex, the great Malcolm, the great Steph, and Outlaw and I, same show here today. So what a nice thing to wake up to, by the way. I'm not a nice thing to wake up to. He man, as you guys know, if you've been following me long enough,

I have been obsessed. I got the damn thing developed at Warner Brothers while I was there. It was a very, it was an emotional time for me that I was able to get this thing done. And then this stupid prick stole it for me, little bastard wherever you are, Neil, you'll scratch your ass. So the, but anyway, either way, I've been very locked in and what they're going to do with Masters of Universe, how they're going to continue it. And I was very excited to, and this is before we even had the opportunity to work with the man. Kevin Smith was coming on to do it.

And it's so weird how attached I really am. to this thing now, because not only because I love the property and really think it could work, and I think that Netflix and bringing it back animated first, and Kevin's vision could work, but it's bizarre because I know, look, Mark Hamill's in this thing, which is going to be great a Skeletor. That alone

you got me. I'm sold. But Tiffany Smith in it, which is amazing. And how about, and how about downtown Griffey Noombs? Who! Who! Who! Who! Who! plays Orco? I mean, it's pretty nuts. It's pretty nice.

course we're on the topic, Alex, you shit together because it's, because it's, it's Masters of the Universe. This is, this is important stuff. Like, when it comes to, like, oh, who's playing sloppy Farts 3 in Mortal Kombat 6? Who cares? This is, this is He-Man and the Masters of Universe. I was saying sloppy for three. Jeez. You never know. This is exciting. You talk about, you talk about, you know, finish, finish him. Yeah, fancast me. So yeah, man, these new images that came out are fantastic. It reminds me, so when I was talking to Kevin on our interview where this takes place,

it takes place after the 80 series that as far as the lore goes, but as far as the look, the look looks like the 2002 series that was on Cartoon Network, which was badass. If you guys didn't check it out beforehand, it was not a lot of people know about it. Roca, did you ever get a chance to see the 2002 version? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I mean, being friends of Michael Vogel, you know I'm going to watch animation stuff all the time. So, yeah, definitely got a chance to watch that.

And I love these new images. I mean, they're fantastic. Look, I'm an old school image comics guy. So the more muscles, the better. The more shadow on the muscles, the better. So this looks fantastic. And I'm a big fan of it. Of course, Tiffany Smith and Susan Eisenberg being a part of this as well.

Massive cast. Fantastic cast. It's so excited to see what they do. I'll be honest with you. I was kind of on the fence because he man was the stuff when I was a child but now seeing this look and all the people involved with it, I'm down.

But that's the whole point. That's the whole point. A lot of people felt that way you like, oh, you know, the purple tiger and it's so silly, I don't know if that can work. It didn't stem from there. It stemmed from the comic books, which was a kind of takeoff Conan the Barbarian, but still in a different

it's Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars and you look at a lot of the all of that. It's science meets magic. And the problem was that everybody used to think about it as this goofy 80s animated series. I love that animated series because of the promise of the lore. It's super silly. But when you go to the 2002 version and you look at the way that that's put together, this is why I'm very hopeful for Kevin's series because I think that what this will be.

King Davidson, 906 donated $25. Good afternoon from New York. Wanted to start you guys off right. Adding to the best album topic of yesterday, Marvin Gaze What's Going on Maxwell's Urban Hangs Suit and Dangelo's Brown Sugar. I'm a big R and B. I'm a Begai. I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell. Why do you?

So, by the, so free tar says this show is so unneeded. Why would you say that? Like, why? Is there in the chat? Yeah, saying about that that Masters is is, is unneeded. But why would you say that? Because that's because you don't understand the lore fully and what it could become. Because I think that when you look at what this series is and what I think it's going to,

by the way, thank you for the donation. It's very, very kind. Please continue that streamlabs.com slash the Smodown. We're going to come up with some cool goals in a second. But what it will do, I think that someone like what John just said, if you're watching it, it's the idea of, oh, this actually could be cool as live action. Like right now when you're thinking of it, it's like, eh, you know, it's unneeded. No one cares about he, man, it's an old property.

if there's something cool with the lore and it's put out there the right way, it can work. So, Steph, have you ever been interested at all? Yeah, I liked Heemann. I wasn't obsessed with it, but I did watch it every now and I, especially with my brother, and I've always liked the property itself. I just watched on Netflix the first episode of the toys that raised us. It just dropped, and the first episode was on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but they had the main toy designer Mark Taylor,

who was the lead designer of He-Man. And so I got reignited with it just yesterday and then this dropped today. And so I feel like I'm totally down for this. Me too. It just opens up the possibilities of this live action or what it could be. And I mean, I would much rather,

I mean, this is broken record for me. I'd much rather to be a live action Netflix series as opposed to a movie at this point. But someone in. mentioned, I guess this Noah Centino or I don't know how to pronounce his name. Yeah, Santino. Yeah, so he left, he left, he left the project and I say this, not anything against him at all. Good.

I didn't think he was a good fit from the second he was cast. Yeah, I could totally agree with that. Not for this, for this role. Nothing against his acting ability. I don't know enough about him to say whether he's a good actor. I just never thought he was the right choice for it. And I'm hoping that there's been so many problems with trying to get Masters of the Universe to the big screen. I have been part of it. I've seen other signs of it. I've heard more

reports on it. And it is, it's because of this thing that we're talking about with John. Some powers that be don't understand fully what it is. They just try to grab IP. I can say that I was part of that at Warner Brothers. I remember that when it finally, when we got it picked up and we got it, the script was in turnaround for those people who don't know what that means is a long winded way of saying that it was a very way of saying that it was a for another studio to pick up.

We were able to do that, finally. We had some, we had Justin Marks on as a writer, who's, if you know Justin Marks, he's a very talented screenwriter. So that point, we're like, okay, we're going to get this thing made. But that's when you enter the executives and people who don't understand it, they just see IP, they don't understand what it is.

So you have these conflicting of what it should be, oh, it should be like this. Well, this movie's popular right now. What if we do that? It's like, no, no, no, you got to say. I remember one time this executive, and I won't name the person's name, because I happen to like the person as an executive,

but they took someone else. No, they took someone else. I forget who it was because there was an announcement that Joel Silver, one of the brothers, was doing He-Man, and they, the executive walked whoever it was into it. They're showing him the tour of all the studios and production companies, and they go,

well, this is, this is, Masters of the Universe, we're doing the He-Man movie, and, oh, these are pictures of non-Turnia. I'm like, non-Turnia? What? Non-Turnia, he called it. And I'm like, I'm like,

just don't say anything. Just say, we're doing a He-Man movie. Look at this and walk away. Don't try to pretend like you care now because it's a thing, non-turnia. And so when you have those types of conversations,

like, oh, you know, someone's social being. Oh, they're popular right now. Put that. You have to get a powerful enough director-producer to say, no, we're doing it this way. We're putting it together. We're carrying out this lure.

similar to what Favro has been able to do with Mandalorian, right? To where it was like, okay, he's a powerful enough director where you give him the trust. It's already proven IP. It's not a brand new thing. You know Star Wars is going to work. But my point is he was able to kind of dive a little deeper inside of the lore with Faloni and because he's got that kind of pull. Christopher Nolan when he did Batman begins, right?

They gave him, they said, okay, here's what you need to do, do this, do that. After that movie crushed, he had kind of free reign to do what the hell he wanted with the dark night. So I think that that's what Masters Universe needs. It needs people who don't understand it to back away from it. And I think even listening to Kevin Smith, what happened with Netflix, he wasn't necessarily a massive fan of the property. He was aware of it. He liked it.

And I really appreciated his honesty when I was talking to him. He was like, well, look, the Netflix executive that I was talking to, like, he got me hyped about it. And he talks about he men the way that, you know, most people talk about Star Wars or the way that the Cobra Kai guys talk about karate kid. And that's the encouraging thing with this series. This series is made by people who love the property, who get the understanding of how this thing works.

The first time I've heard in a long time, the science meets magic, coming back together with all of that, hearing that music, watching Kevin get excited when that music's coming out, the cast that you have involved. So this is the most hopeful Masters of the Universe project that I've heard about. in a long time. And now these images have justified those, that bit of optimism for me. Alex, you see these. What do you think? I think it looks awesome. I'm super excited for it. It's going to

premiere on July 23, the first five episodes of its 10 episode season. So that's just a week before my birthday. So I know what I'm doing for my lead up to that. When does it come out again? I'm sorry? July 23 is the first half. And do we have a rating yet? Do you know what it's going to be rated? NC17? A lot of nudity. A lot of nudity. Orco Fox. Orco Fox.

X. X. I used to trash this franchise before because I was a little snobby 10-year-old when the, when the 2002 animated series happened. You're watching French films. Your French black-gall-films. Star Wars was the only cool thing. What is this?

He-Man's just he-man. He's drinking black coffee at nine years old. He's half-naked and playing with the lion's at the tiger. What is he? He's a tiger. That's cringy. I need this. We need a...

No. What is this? Also gets me a toy, please. So, Steph, you got a chance to see the three-year-old coming here the other day and do the hallway dance, right?

The attitude on that, kids, the other day, you got another story from her. I want to be your auntie. I'm telling you, man. Like, the other day, I said, I was carrying her, and she started to move.

I said, and I said, Macy, don't you do this? this. And she goes, no, you don't do this. And I said, you don't do this. She goes, you don't do this. And I said, you don't do this. And she goes, you don't do this. That's amazing. This kid's got some attitude. She's unbelievable. Yeah, she really is. She really is. Of energy. Yeah. So, anyway, look, we're going to talk. We'll talk a little bit more about

masters if you guys want to talk about, whatever we're going to do here. Streamlabs.com Slash Rosh. Can I try to hit a goal here? I think that we should do something where Roka prank somebody this time. Oh, Jesus. I don't know who we're going to prank, though, but I think it's so easy to prank Gucci,

but maybe, you know, the fact, maybe we could prank him again, prank him again this time and say, you know, maybe, you know what I did last time? I called him and I said the barbarians had something stupid. And he doesn't think you're going to be on the show. What if you put him on speaker, you said the same thing, be like,

the barbarian, I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. Yeah, and then, and we'll be like, I'm leaving, I'm calling Christian, I'm leaving the faction. I want to see if he, if he'll, so we'll start that one at 500. We hit the 500. We'll, uh, we'll prank Gucci, Roku will prank Gucci on speaker. We'll do that.

Uh, whether he now he picks up or he's passed out behind some, you know, restaurant someone, who knows? I'll tell you speak about my manager like that. He would have to speak about my manager like. Am I wrong? I don't know what you're talking about. Exactly. Manager here already.

I mean, he's, he's doing a good job. I can't, I can't, I can't. He's doing a good job. He drafted. I mean, I don't, I don't, I also don't, I also don't, think it's fair when people turn and they go, oh, it's a, it's barbarian. Barbarians help training. There's no doubt about it. Of course. We're all hoping. I had so many conversations with Gucci. He's like, I'm going to do. I'm going to shock the world. I'm like, well, he's like,

just wait. These people, these people's people don't even know about these people. And I'm like, all right. And I'm like, all right. What is he intaking where he speaks like that? Shadow Dragon Productions donated $20. $1,000. Christian Harloff, dude, I love your passion about the masters of the universe. It never gets sold.

Also, hi, Kate, wait, you are not here. Also, who is the sexy beast behind you? Wait, is that Brett? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, is that Pratt? That's great. What is that? What's he doing? Yesterday, he was showing us an exercise machine or, like, thing that he got

from a flea market. He looks like, Roka, what's the streetcar? named Desire, a character Stanley. Yeah, Stanley Kowalski. He looks like Stanley Kowalski's like drunk brother. So Carl Maldon.

He looked like Carl Maldon. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I'm like a zookeeper. Yeah. He really does. He really does. It's amazing.

So he spreads off until Tuesday, by the way, he's going on a much needed vacation. Oh, okay. We're supposed to launch the goofball show. We're going to do a special launch of it next week, but he's out at that time. I thought he said something inappropriate. That's usually how you go on vacation.

Yeah, right? And these times? He's on leave. He's on leave. He's going to be doing, he's taking over Ellen's show. Yeah, yeah. Because it was not enough of a challenge for her. Yes.

It was orchestrated thing, Ellen, for Brett Sher to take over. Wouldn't, wouldn't you one time just like to say? So Ellen, why did you, why are you calling it quits? And she'd be like, did you fucking see what happened? Yeah. Like, did you read? I fucked up. It's over. I made a lot of money.

People don't like me as much as they used to. I'm out. Do you know how much I was over? Standing O. Standing O. Yeah. You would beat all the claps in the world. I would follow her. I would be like this like a big.

She said, look, I was an asshole to some people. I fucking, I'm a human being. I fucked up. I was stupid. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, I heard about these things. How terrible.

Terrible that these things happen under my watch. I wish I would have known. Oprah's where you go when you want to rehabilitate you. I mean, I was reading that writing article and almost threw my computer across the room two or three times because I know two people who worked on her staff. And she was very well aware of what was going on and encouraged it. And so it's a ridiculous to her say it's an orchestrated thing falling back on the LGBTQ stuff again. I thought it was such an insult to people who legitimately have to deal with that on a daily basis in their own work environment.

And she does it all the time. It was a PR move. Yeah, of course. Like, hey, so they're going to ask you about this thing, obviously, because we're making the announcement that it's the last thing. Like, here's your answer. When they ask you about it, here's your answer. And instead of, yeah, and it's like because, you know, it's, it just was, to me, I'm like,

come, yeah. Even Ann Hache came out in a podcast last week and she said, oh, they were going back through her old Oscars outfits. Anne Hache was wearing something. She's like, oh, yeah, I had to wear that because Ellen didn't want me wearing anything too sexy. So she may be very hippie close. But that's controlling, though.

So she's controlling. It's a bad. It's a bad. It's a bad. What scoochee eating? Do you really need to ask? He is eating wonderful capitalist pizza here at pizza USA. Oh.

Totally non-microchipped pizzas which all Americans should enjoy or you are hating America. Listen to this. So, Alan calls me. and asked me to go to Pizza USA. And I'm like, you know about Pizza USA? So I go there. And the things they're making, they're making pizza.

They're making diamond-studded purses in the back. And I'm like, sign me up. So I started selling them. Go to my website right now, Guccisellshit.com. How much? How much? How much you're willing to pay? Big bucks.

All right. So pay. VEMO. We'll talk it. We'll figure it out. Gucci sell shit. Yeah. Dot com.net. That org. Say last.

Say last. Hello. That's right. All right. What else should we do here? You know, there's a thing that we should do again, I think, with a scene. Uh-oh. Because you guys did that scene.

That was great, by the way, with, it was Castle Blank. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It was genius. And it was good because the other thing that happened was that, Did you see Matt Link's version of it where he actually dubbed all the voices? So I would like to do, I'd like to hit that where did you guys get Casablanca?

Was that, was that requested or did you guys pick it? No, I was requested from. So let's get, what's the craziest character that you do, Steph? Well,

it doesn't really matter because you didn't really do that character. You know, you just read the lines. So, uh, let's, let's do, so, whatever,

we'll get to whoever, we get to, whoever gets, let's get to 800 and we'll do a, crazy scene. I wanted to get some outrageous. We do some crazy shit and we'll have, hopefully, whether it's animated voices or whatever it might be. Animated

movie would be really funny where we did voices. And I don't know. It could be funny. It'll, it depends on what the suggestion is. You know what we should try to do? At 700, we should do, you and I should do, Steph, we should do Alice in Wonderland.

Fuck yeah. So let's let's see. We'll see how we'll keep well, we keep going, but at 500, we're going to prank Gucci with Roga, for sure. We'll do that. I got Roxy yesterday. You did? Briefly.

I got her briefly off air because I was on the phone call with her talking about faction stuff. And then I was like, do you have you spoken to Steph yet? And she's like, no, why? I said, because she fucked up. And she said, she did. Why? I was like, on the FCL, she said something pretty inappropriate about one of the guys. I kind of sexualized one of them.

And it was a, it didn't go over a while. She's like, really? That doesn't, she's like, wait a minute. Is this a bit? And I go, yeah, it's a bit. She's like, oh, you should have kept it going. Oh, my God. No, she told, okay, so she told me, she goes, so Christian pranked me.

I didn't hear that part. And she starts telling it. And I go, my mouth is gaping open. What are you talking about? I didn't say anything. I was like, you too? So I prank you too. Yeah.

I said it was a prank. And I was like, I didn't hear that. Oh, that's great. That's good. So I got both of you guys. I've gotten you three times now. Yeah, enough. I don't know about that.

That movie, enough. Yeah, I don't know about that. You like J-Lo? I'm just kidding. I'll keep working out. Yeah, I almost wanted to get Brett. I almost wanted to get Brett. I can get Brett.

No, but the problem is that he's about to get on his flight, so we should call TSA on. He's definitely called the TSA. Absolutely. I wish I had friends at the gate to stop him. He has a bag of cocaine inside of his asshole. He has. You got a check.

And do me a favorite. I'll give you the streaming password. Stream it to the channel. And I want you to do a search. He's a white bloodbule. But tell him we hit our goal and he's got to react to flirt and flouse. Oh, my goodness. Why you touch it?

Oh, it kind of likes it. Deepa. Deepa. No, that's my stink. Thank you so much. Normally I pay people for this, but it's for free. Oh, man. So that'd be good.

Yeah. And then, you know, look, Kate's always a fun one to get. We did that to her last time. You weren't on the show, Roku. We did that. She came on and we all hit a cue where we just dropped out. They all love the show. Christian, are the recent questions in the Facebook group indicating that the factions

are being rethought. I love the current format and it'd be sad to no longer see Gucci blow a good season every year. Hashtag Dundee. Hey, Mike your fucking business, you little clown. You must have just started watching like six months ago. He's a manager of the year for six years. What have you ever done? Look at Roke.

I like that. I like the... I love how Gucci's team rides for Gucci. They do. I don't understand it, but... Last year, they didn't. This year they do. And it's...

It's... It is impressive. I think that this is the type of, I think that's the type of team. He needs a couple of pros, and then he needs a bunch of rookies. Yeah. Because he can shape them into,

because they're all going to come out of this fact, wherever they wind up going. They're all going to have like this attitude that they were taught, they were brought into the league. And this is all, this is the thing I like about him. One thing. But this is the thing I like about him is the fact that like he's going to teach,

he's going to teach people, play the game, do your thing, know the character. It's as much a show as it is a sport. And that's the difference. That's why some people, they don't get it when in the Facebook, well, I just wants to be. If you want it to be more like sport. And it's like, and I'm like it's not just more like a sport. It's, it's a hybrid. It always has been a hybrid and it always will be a hybrid because it's a show. If I just want, like, there are tons of trivia shows out there. I don't want to do that. I never want to do that. And I don't want it to be, I don't want I want it to be a hybrid. I want it to be a 50-50. Right now to me, it's a little bit more of like 75-25 and I want I want to get the balance back. I want the balance back. Also Gucci is

fucking hilarious. Like it's no matter what he says out crazy shit, but it's funny. Yeah. And so that's, but that's the thing by teaching the new competitors when they're coming in that this is a show. It is a, you know, it's character. It's it's studying. It's, it's, it's, it's studying. It's, wanting to be the best. To me, that's the best way to teach people coming in because when people come in and it's just like, well, I just play for the trivia. It's like, that's cool. And I hope you do well and everything too. But it's not, it's not the way that I can build characters and market certain people and do that because that's what we're trying to do overall as we're growing this thing and making it bigger. So the thing that I realized as I was scheduling yesterday, because I'm putting together more

matches that there's like 96 people on the roster and it's it's too many people to be honest and it uh it it's and the thing and what it does is that it it doesn't it too many people are sitting on the bench and they feel like oh what am i getting a match and i'm like i don't have the room right now like perfect example is the barbarian right yeah barbarian desperate for a match i don't have any room for him right now in a singles match there's there's as i look as i look and try to match up like there's it's from the path of everything of where it needs to go. He's not in the picture right now. And I have to put other people in the picture. Like there's more of an opportunity to get him into a team's match, which is coming up.

Like that and so as I was looking at it, I'm like, if you went down and I gave a few different options, whether it's to 72 or to 80, some people are like 10 factions with 10 people. I'm like, I'm trying to cut people, not add people. A hundred people is insane. It's insane. It's not a group with one person. Right. It's not enough room. So, but, but I was thinking, and I, and I think that I, and it was something I didn't even put out there, that I think that I figured out a way to make it all work well and to make sure, because the other thing I didn't want to do is I didn't want to lose certain people that didn't have an opportunity because they didn't get a chance to play and if there's less people. So I had to figure it all out. Plus the fact that one of the

things that I saw a lot of people say this, and then I also have a big issue with it is when we get back to live events and when we get back to the in-studio matches, which is going to be front and center and full steam ahead once season nine hits. I got to get back to like those horseman moments and the, you know, the Andrew Guy moments and the, and like the Shirewolves, you know, I have to get back to that. And last night, late last night I was going through, I'm like, oh my God, I figured out how to do it. Like it, it was, it was a balance of it. I'm like, I'm very proud of the storylines and stuff that we have, but it's hard to do certain things that I wanted to do. So I was like, how do you hybrid it, but still keep the dynamic of the factions,

still keep the competitiveness of the factions and what it stands for and that sport element and really make it that hybrid. And I'm very confident that I figured out how to do it. I don't think that everybody's going to be on board with it, but there's sometimes that you just have to say, you just got to go. I trusted my gut for many years and it worked. So I'm going to do the same moving forward. Yeah. There you go. You said it. It resonates. It resonates. Yeah. It basically is just going to be Alex competing against everybody for... Yeah, I mean, if you want to make money, that's it. Yeah.

Yeah. Alex is the key. Yeah. That's it. And then also the other thing by going down to like 80, and I was just telling Steph as we started, that means that there's going to be, if it is 80, right, then that means there's going to be 16 new spots at least for the FCL, right? And the FCL will be different where the FCL right now, is, you know, you have it seems more like a developmental league but I think that's going to shift away

and I think it's just going to be a separate league you know, that eventually... I'm going to go into the FCL. I want to go into the FECL. But you know what, John, the funny thing is, though, that that's something that I want to do. Where Wolfs donated $25. The Candid Life Talk is amazing to listen to

on these shows and more is better in my opinion. Christian appreciate all your work to create and grow the schmowdown. and shout out to the entire panel you're all winning in life. I appreciate you. I will say this though. No, keep you down, Alex.

What I think is something that's a problem here is if you love the way we're doing it, $25 isn't enough. You're going to have to send it 100, 200. You really change people's opinions about how to do this show. So if you want the show to change to more life talk, I'm going to need you to donate at a higher level.

So I appreciate that you like what we're doing, but you're going to have to show it to us with a little more of the shackles. Alex, I'm sorry, go ahead. Yeah, Rocha, is your FCL character going to be the in-law? No, it's going to be, it's going to be. Oh, my.

No, no, it's going to be your daddy. That's what it's going to be. Yes, right. And I'm board it over you the whole time. I'll show up on all your matches. And the ACL could be disappointing me. Yeah, go. Think about how the FCL is going to be,

it'll be so many, there'll be so many new people. Plus the fact that, look, we're still going to open up for auditions next year, and it's going to limit, it's just going to have limited, I just think that for the amount of competition and the level, I mean, even talking to John this morning, we were texting back and forth and how much effort he's been putting in and the training that he's doing and, and we're talking,

and we're talking seven seasons that he's been in this thing, you know? So it's, um, but being able to make sure that the, the best of the best are playing and, and then that's FCL is, okay, I'm going to get my chops. I'm going to start moving in because I think that there's a way, like I said, this new way, I think there's a way to maneuver things more and push things and have storylines and make it all work. It's a it's a work in progress, but I was, you know, sometimes like I'll have the, for example, is that horseman idea, John,

you know, like when I was, when I was thinking about it, I'm like, well, what if, what if we, and I remember walking around my apartment listening to music saying to myself, all right, what if we had, oh, if it was, Inman's been talking about it, and then if we reveal first and it's inman, but John and knows are the first two, the other, and then Riley comes back out of retirement and he takes the other and everybody will lose their minds but if I can get Dan to come in here and do it and Dan's available and he's able to then what if we like we can drop the we can drop the thing at the very end he'll come out we'll put the shining music on there's just be scared the shit out of everybody and and to Andrew guys credit he because he

and I were hot at each other that night yeah he was he was he was all pissed off about the the John Carlos Stanton thing right but he's a professional and because I didn't know him as well as I know him now and I remember him being all hot about it I'm like guys he gonna is he gonna mess with the line now about everything that was going on because this is the whole beat and he didn't you stayed completely on it and he

and because I remember when he first when he first did it and I was like you gotta antagonize the crowd get them going really get him like riled up he did a great job and I said and then Dan comes out and when Dan comes out he's like and then I go after him I'm like no you can't go after him you got to be scared of him I was like Because if you go after him, it's going to take away the gist of him coming in.

And he's like, I get it. I get it. So I'm more like, yeah, when you should try to talk to him first. And then Dan will cut you off and go, no, what you say is. And then you just say, fine, like a little baby and run away. And he's like, yeah, I got it. And he hit every fucking beat. And it's sold that night.

So that's the type of stuff that. And to be fair, I haven't had an opportunity to really do that because of digital. right so I haven't even been an opportunity to try to do it at live events with this new system it's just it's just tougher to navigate but again I think I've found a way to make that all change and get back to those big moments at the live events and and in general making things very even more competitive than they are now because I don't think anybody can argue that the matches are some of the most competitive matches we've ever had in the digital side yeah oh yeah yeah so no yes the story will only increase in person but the matches and the competition have, I feel like, elevated during this time. It was a good time so that now when we're in person, it will be even crazier. Yeah, we built talent out and we built some stuff. And people are asking, does that mean that people out of town are going to get less likely to get put on the roster? No, it's not, because we're going to still do, we're going to have next season, season nine,

it's going to be Wednesday is going to be the digital matches. Thursday and Friday will be the in-studio matches. and then obviously live events where anybody could fly out and be part of it. So, like, you take someone like Marisol McKee, right? Marisol lives in Philadelphia. So if she right now is three and one, as she goes to Battle Janine in two weeks, she's three and one. So the perfect example for that is, all right, look, she's, if it was today, she's three and one. And what we can do now is I'm going to book, we have an event booked in New York.

we've a event booked in Philadelphia. Well, let's put Marisol on the undercard for that one. And then if she wins in two more months, then maybe I'll fly her out to the next one or the potential title match. You know what I mean? So it's like it's easy to do that with the digital players who are starting to make a name.

For rookies, you have them established themselves. Look at Kate. What is that? What is that background? I have no idea. What is that background? It's just, it's my dad, Christian. Oh, there we go.

There it is. Very nice. That's more normal. That's wonderful. Oh, it looks like every picture on Bonnie's fucking Instagram. Look, I lived in Venice. Actually, that's more like it. Where are your Bonnie picture?

Yeah, that happens. Do you see what I have to do? I have to actually lift them and press them together to even slightly resemble Bonnie. Hey, at least you can do that. Johnny Roro, I have not seen it. Hi, baby. I haven't seen so long, Johnny Roker. I'm jumping to the den.

We were talking about that. I'm leaving the den on the precipice, or I'm leaving the Finstock Exchange on the precipice of a... Yeah, but you have, but, but... Oh, I got the prank. No, I was just, I knew this is not. But I don't know if he's going to buy it.

Right. If, well, no, you know what? Let's call at, at, at, and Kate, you're going to hate me for this. At $800. If it's not me, I'll feel great about it. If $800, Kate's going to put Paul Preston on speaker and tell him he's been traded from the

dent. Oh no. And for John Roker. And a draft pick. I have never hoped we don't hit our goal more than I do. Oh, my God, it would be amazing. Kate will call. I would say Ben Goddard.

I would say Goddard. Well, see, the problem is I would say Saul, but he's probably listening right now. So never mind. Yeah, Saul's probably, Saul's listening. But yes, all right. So 800. Kate's going to tell Paul Preston, he's been traded from the den for John Roca and a draft pick. Oh, wow.

That's great. That almost happened in the offseason, too. So he'll be there you go. Oh, that's great. So let's do that. That'll be amazing. Kate, Kate will love that. Yeah, I don't know.

Okay. Yeah. Kate. Got it. Who else would have worked for? Because, like, Goddard, I feel Goddard wouldn't fall for it right now because we got him like two weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll stop.

You've been watching the show. Someone said that might be a bridge too far. When did you start watching? Hi, my name's Christian Harlow. Yeah. C.C.A. Captain, a bridge too far. You know what I'm saying?

His name's also. BTF. He's a bridge too far, baby. He could take it. Who else? And listen, Paul's a good prankster. He likes getting people, so getting him is fun. Yes.

So we'll get it. That'd be a great one to get. So Saul, yeah. Who else would be a Harper would Harper believe it? I'm not doing that to Harper today. Oh, yeah, okay. All right, that makes sense. Okay.

He's got a match today. No, not today. No, not today, but he's got a really important trial. He's a really important trial. He's on trial. Oh, he's on trial. No, no, he's a, he's a lawyer. Oh, he's a lawyer.

You're on trial. You're probably guilty. Yeah, he is. Who knows? Is it got a piece of tape on his mouth and let it go? That's incredible. He's in. He's a lawyer too.

He's a lawyer for the Red Cross. He was in the military. He was JAG in the military. He lived in Afghanistan on base for a year. Right. So who, you know, that. Got bombed on his first day there. The base got bombed his first day there.

Holy shit. Yeah, I remember that I'm telling that. That's a crazy story. What a cool story. Not like cool, but interesting. Well, we can't get him. Well, we can't get him. Yeah, we can't get him.

Trying to think. Who else could we get? Jader? I don't want to do that to Jader. Nah. I never trade me for Jeter. No one would believe that at all. But yeah,

go ahead. No, I'm afraid. I have to keep, I have to keep the Latin roots. No, I'm afraid Silverstini would get, would,

would, I think she'd take the joke once revealed, but I feel like she would get, she would, she would get pretty emotional. She's going to be. That doesn't make sense. I would trade for a non-Star Wars player.

How to make it. I think Saul would get emotional over it, too. So I don't know. I don't, I can never. I just don't. So I think Paul, Paul's the way to Paul's the way to go for sure. The other one

trying to think. I'll do it. I'll do it at a thousand. Ryan Payne donated $20. To paraphrase the great Michael Clark Duncan. Don't you put that evil on Kate. Christian.

Don't you put that on her. Anyone else but John Roker to the den. Oh, there you go. Well, what if I was going to say, I was going to say Merle, but I think Merle will get mad at me. But if I do, at a thousand, I'll tell Bateman,

We had a long conversation last night with Kaiser after everything we're talking about, and we're going to do a shake-up and that he's going to be traded to, that we're going to do a big trip back to the 10. At a thousand, I'll get Bateman. Yes. You think Bateman will believe it. Maybe. Maybe if I put them on. But I mean, but the problem, yeah, I just have.

Your loyal Bobbi Finstock donated $25. I believe in trial and error. And my client on trial is in error. It's in error. It's the best It's one of the best lines It is one of the best lines of all time These fans who shit on the great entertainment

Drives me nuts Have you ever seen that Kate that line? No So it's a trial of JTE Which if you haven't watched it Do yourself a favor It is a treat it is one of the best segments Ever done in history

Ryan Nelson just told me We were randomly talking He was randomly brought this up And said Ryan and I are really good friends, Kate, really were the bad place. You know, I just like to stir every part I can't possibly stir.

And he said the trial of J.D. is the funniest shit that has ever gone down. It's amazing. And you know what was funny about that is, so the lawyer was Dagnino for JTE. So what happened was JTE was playing Ellis in the Shemodam.

And at one point, so this is the old rules where the last round was the betting round. And And so JTE, as Ellis is writing down his answer, you see J.T. look over at Ellis, what he's writing, you know, and it's, I don't know if they're looking at points or whatever he's doing, but J.T. wins it winning the match. Ellis had a perfect game, but didn't bet enough points, and J.T.

won the game, right? So the next week, we were like, oh, we watched the footage, and it looks like he's cheating. So what we're going to do is we're going to have a trial, put him on trial. And it was, it was like Alice in Wonderland, by the way, at the end of trial. And, and we were like, okay, so we'll have attorneys and Finstock will represent JTE. Andrew Santino was going to represent, it was going to be the prosecution. So Andrew called me at the last minute and was like, dude, something came up, I couldn't do it. But he was going to be the prosecuting attorney.

He couldn't do it. So we're like, oh, what do we do? So Ken said, I'll do it. But then Hal Rudnick also shut up with a robot. and called himself justice bot. And I really got to play some of the audio for it. I got to find it. It's incredible.

So good. Yeah. By the way, Andrew Santino wore an all, I was thinking about sending you the picture, Christian. Andrew Santino wore an all denim suit to my wedding. Amazing. Oh, yeah. But the line. He needed attention to.

You know what I know. It would make sense. The line, by the way, the line by Finstock is one of the most quoted one. There are things you will realize you're ready. I'll get it in a second here. The actual line, it's incredible. Let me see. Sit next to.

Powerful stuff. Okay. All right. So now here's how this is going to work. No. Now, Finstock, you're going to be able to bring it. Big vocabulary. All right.

Well, you're going to bring in some witnesses here. They're going to come in. They're going to sit next to Stuckman and you're going to interrogate and then Ken can cross-examine. Yes, absolutely. All right. So bring your first witness to the table, please. I am going to bring in. A guy who is my cohort.

And you guys can go out and say whether or not he, that you think that right now it looks like the defense has the case or prosecution. This is all for you guys. All right. So Finstock, open up with your statement, please. Here we go. You know. Address the court, please. Hey, Your Honor.

Where's your honor? Where's your gavel? I don't know. Where is it? She's stuck in everybody else. Is that Alicia? Yeah. Um, you know, I'm a firm believer in trial and error.

And I believe my client is on trial. It's in error. All right. An error in judgment. All right. I'm just going to. So this is, so where is, so then how? It's the law and order music in the background for me.

Charlie. So how, how then put J.T.E. on the stand? I would like to introduce my co-counselor, uh, Hal Rodnick, aka Justice Bot. Just a.m. Hal Rodnick from screen junkies, you can go ahead and, if you want,

if they, fits over your contraption. Hello. That works. Now, I'm going to ask you a series of questions to be answered truthfully. Answer the question. True or false, the bus that you rode to school was shorter than most buses. False.

Not what I've heard. True or false. What are you doing, lawyer? True or false. You have bought a number. of spray paint cans, sprayed the contents into a paper bag, and then engaged what is popularly known as Huffing.

False. I have never done any drugs. True or false. You pronounce Liam Neeson's name, Liam Nielsen. That is true. That is true. I'm a big. True or false. You pronounce Guillermo del Toro's name as

Gwellmo. How is this relevant to the case? It is to set up the fact that you, nailing Stillwater, is mathematically to oppose you pronounce proud expendable star, Dolf Lundgren, Dolf Lungren. My pronunciation is not on trial here. It is why did I cheated? The witness is getting argumentative. Anyway, so you can go and check that out on...

Oh, my God. Wait, who did the interrogation just then? This part that was Hal Rodnick. Yeah, so, I mean, that was... Really good improv on how Rudnick's art thing. When he said, when he said, just, he's like, what does this have to do with anything? Because he's setting up the fact of you nailing Stillwater is mathematically impossible.

It's fucking... So good. And especially, it plays so much better even now when you know of all the history of how many times J.T. has mispronounced things and just, you know, continually to this day in the middle of it will have gaps like that. And, you know, and oh, so, it was so good. Who was, who was he? Who did he say Bond was in the match against Goddard? Any Dalton, any Dolton, yeah.

Did he win that match? Remind me, did he win that match? Look, here's the thing. I just want to make sure. He has been playing to steal Laura Kelly's name lights out. He has been playing. Yeah. Since back, there's no, there's no doubt about it.

And a big match coming up here with lightning time. Yeah. So anyway, okay, let's get, before, before move on, I do want to bring up to you guys, and we've been, we've been talking about it.

and especially us getting involved. The underscore K underscore wolf donated $20. Hey, crew, Christian, has there been any update on when the new themes will be up on the skybound store? Also, will there be a counselor on hand for the old law when the boss crushes him? Hashtag team Bateman for life. There's so many burner phones.

There's so many burner accounts. We're a little out from that match, John. We're looking at June. I mean, not too far out, but it's the first time you and Ben have played since breaking up as a fact. Last time you guys played each other, you were rivals back in, I think it was season five. It was the last time you played. And now, and you came away with the victory when you played him. So now.

Didn't study one bit and beat him. Yeah, go ahead. Well, so now you got him in June. The winner plays either Irwin or Oyama. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So how are you feeling going in going against against Bateman? I feel very relaxed.

You know, Ben doesn't scare me like he scares other people. And I, you know, I respect his how much he's worked hard to get better as a player. And, you know, at the end of the day for all the histrionics and him posting on his Instagram, hey, I got a warning from the spot out. Dr. Fauci donated $20. It doesn't do anything. Be a long year for you and your friends. Let me tell you about my year.

Do you have any idea what I've had to deal with? Who I've had to deal with? But no Mr. Movie Wrestling Guy or whatever, please tell me your problems. Well, hey, listen, here's the thing. For a lot of you don't know out there that I had Dr. Fouch in the basement. And I put him in a suitcase. And he was little guy. So he stuck him in there and he was worried about it.

He would get a little cold because I live in the East Coast. And he would say to me, he'd go, put on the heat. So he'd fire down like a hot dog at him. It was cooked, of course, but I'd fire it down at him. So he'd say, eat that, Fauci. He's like, I can't get out. You zipped up the suitcase. So he said, I'm shitty, right.

So he would unzip it and jammed the fucking hot dog in there and, you know, drop a little water. And he gets out. And he's like, what the fuck? I got to go give some people some shots. And I was like, all right. So let him out. And, you know, it was a little different in January. So, you know, people wanted me to let him out.

And it wasn't as pushed in as before. but hey, we're cool. I'm going over this house next week for a barbecue. Do you know you're like a notch away from sounding like Dr. Pouchy? Just like one notch. Hey, thank you, everybody. There you go, yeah. You got to put on your mask.

That's very fair. You got to put it on. And if everybody else is out there and, well, no, we're not always correct, but we try. We try our house. You know, it's, you say, you know, in the beginning, It's wear a mask, and we got to figure out, oh, you shouldn't wear the mask, but at this point, you should wear the mask. So it's, you know, you're going to figure it out.

We don't know. We're not perfect. We're not guards, but we, you know, we're not stupid. We're not stupid people. It's really good. It's really good. You are good. That's it.

That's it. Thank you. Broca, you haven't had to do Trump in probably so long. How does that feel for you? You're not on the shows. I've been doing Trump the last few shows I've been on, Kate. Oh, I, I, I apologize.

Not only am I not on the show, I don't watch it when I'm not either. That's all. I apologize. I apologize. I have to, I bring this back one more thing here. If he was doing President Trump,

I clearly would not be speaking because I wouldn't be allowed to speak. Sure, you'd be dead. You'd absolutely be dead. I'd have thrown you into the middle of the insurrectionists on January 6th. You'd have been dead. Yeah. You know, Dr. Fauci.

Sylvia, Sylvia, here. when when when when when you spoke into make sure you listen to my friend because he plays golf and he's good you not so much so put on your mask and shut the fuck up okay exactly my friend's trying to say it's up shut the fuck up about you yeah my my to this day

fucking I mean you guys have I've known I played it before but have you Kate were you a soprano's person I watched a couple no ultimately no but like I I would sort of go in and out of it when it was on. Okay, but you know it well enough to do. And Steph, did you watch it? I'm the same exact as Kate. All right, enough.

So I want to show you, so. I haven't watched that. Well, you would know that. I hope that she's the same exact as me. I want to play this. This is, I've played it before in the past. So you guys know Max Cook? Oh, not, not one's future.

She's quite your ass. So Max Cook, the buddy of mine. but this is um have you ever heard him roka max cook yeah we'll see what we'll see listen to this impression this is this is him doing malt salty and uh tony so what the fuck says now t another fucking fever dream oh jesus fucking christopher give me a fucking break you camel nose prick i practically lost my whole fucking grew you didn't lose me tone not by a long shot. You pinch my

so-called fucking camel nose and put me to permanent sleep after that accident. You were a fucking mess to yourself, Christopher, to your wife, to your daughter, and especially the fucking me. Fucking menace to society, right? All right, take it easy. Jesus fucking

Christ, Christopher, what the fuck? I mean, what if it wasn't me in the passenger seat when you was driving on age or whatever the fuck? What if it was your little girl? How good is that, right? That's wild. And he did one, he did one, I got to play the other one. This one's funny.

It's got, it's got him playing both, both Tony Soprano and Dr. Melfi. But then he switches into junior. So I'll play a little of him talking to the therapist and then the junior one. Oh, actually, you know what? This is, this is. I'm so fucking depressed, I can't even fucking stand. You sound very angry. Yeah that too, but depression trumps it.

So what the fuck are you gonna do about it? Oh, big surprise. Nothing. I'm sorry? Look, I don't know what's going out with me, okay? But I got some feelings inside. Feelings I never felt before. I think they call it mourning, but I don't know what that means.

In my business, you don't mourn. So here's him talking to fucking junior, which is amazing. Bud's buddy now? Yeah. What's up, Doc? I'll just stick him on the kitchen counter. Carmilla, send along those carrots. Good for the ice, you know.

No, I picked them for you. Carmella still hates me then. And the last one is Bobby. Bobby, he remains your responsibility until I say he no longer is. You want to go get a beer, maybe something afterwards? No. You know what, Bobby?

Look at me, I think you best get home to your toys, huh? Your toys and my sister and your loser kids and the ghost of your dead wife, get back to all the good things you got going on in life. So good. Anyway. Dude, what happened to Lorraine Barako? What do you mean? She's still working?

I mean, I haven't seen her a little bit. So what the fuck do I know? Maybe she's not. Maybe she's retired. What do I know about it? Broca, you know? It's a good question. I haven't thought about her in quite some time.

Because she was, I bet I could, I bet I could, I could probably do a Lorraine Braco from Sopranos if I worked. I would have to watch too. Yeah, but I feel like I could probably. Let me tell you something. I know a little bit about her. I know she was in a, Master Maggie, the birthday cake. She's going to be in Pinocchio. This is all just off the top of my head.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, Blue Bloods, AJ and the Queen. That's incredible. It was top of this stuff. Really good at this. She was in Blue Bloods? So was Bonnie. I wonder, that would be.

great that they were actually on together because she does she does a um an impression oh you know what that's not true that's not true that she does an impression of of uh of uh of raleota's calling out her name oh my god that she just she does she does the she goes to karen karen she does that's what she does um where we at right now as far as is anybody are we pranking anybody are we anywhere close to pranking anybody i don't think yeah thanks bill your fucking mouth Jesus Christ. Cheese and rice. I mean.

Cheese and rice. It takes me 7 a.m. Again. Yeah. But you're doing the shake thing behind Alex is really, did you, did you, did you hear about this Christian? Yeah, we talked about it briefly before.

It makes sense. It was so fun. He got onto that bed. Like he was offering something. We're 300 away from Roka prankle and Gucci. And then, After that, so we're about 600 away from Kate prank calling Paul Preston to tell him that he's been he's been traded from the dent. And that to me is going to be some of the best acting that Kate's ever done.

So, yeah, it's going to be good. So Catherine is going, where is she going? Oh, Catherine Hahn's joining knives out. Who isn't joining knives out to? Everyone. Yeah, it seems like everybody's in that movie. Is anybody else in that movie? It seems like everybody's in that film.

Is that, and it's Netflix, right? Yes. Both the sequel and the third. Very smart. I think Ben Bateman. Oh, yeah, you were talking about Bateman. Go ahead. No, no, no, no.

I'm just saying he's going to be in the movie now. Oh, okay. Did you, I'm not, I was going to ask. Did you, have you guys watched Mayor from Easttown yet? You guys, anybody? Oh my God, yeah. I have the same problem as Ellis. I sit down and I'm like, this is good.

Hong shoe, hong shoo, hong shoo, hong shoo, hong shoo. I mean, it's like I cannot keep my little gummy eyes open at a certain point. Is it why? Just because it's boring? No, because I'm on drugs. Oh, that's fair. Well, well, I. Sorry, I thought I made that clear.

Sorry, sorry, guys. Well, I watched, I think it's four episodes out of seven. Yes. Which is weird. What seven out of it instead of eight? And does that, it's kind of a bizarre thing. That's seven minute apps.

No, you can ask. Little lies, I think, was seven episodes. There's only seven episodes because there's three episodes left. And I really dig this show. I didn't know anything about it except I knew, oh, Kate Winslet. I like Kate Winslet. So it to me is a, it's almost turning into a true detective type show. You know?

But, John, you dig. you digging it? Love it. We ripped through it in one night, Sunday night. We started at episode, you know, we started at 5 o'clock. You watched all through all the, yeah, all in one night. It is so fucking good. And the SNL sketch they did on it was even funnier. They really? You've seen the SNL skit. Oh, I haven't seen. Oh, yeah. They shot that thing. She's like, making fun of her accent that she does through the whole show. So it's great. I gave up on, for the first time in my life, I gave up, like totally just gave up on SNL. Hmm. I just, I just, I just, I just think it's so.

so unfunny these days. Like it just used to be like he used to be really funny. It's just not, it's just not funny. What do you think is the problem? Writing and the, the way that you go back to old school sketches and the way that some of these, watch the endings of the sketch. There's no ending. It's just, I know what you, yeah. The just ends. Like, oh, this will be a funny bit. And it's just, there's no button. There's no, there's no, there's no, this doesn't see. But there's, I think that's so interesting you feel that way, Christian, because I feel like there's a couple of standouts that I'm like, oh, S&L, I feel like got funny again,

because I don't watch the show, but I'll see, like, what they highlight as, like, funny stuff. Like, yes, and, like, also, like, the mom, I got a robe, like the Christmas. Did you see that one? Oh, yes. I did see that. Chloe Bennett's funny.

Yes. Katie had seen, I mean, some. I got this robe. Yeah, that was, that, that was funny. I got a Nintendo. I got a PS5. I got a robe. But do,

a couple of them come out every once in a while and, oh, that was pretty funny. If I see something viral, sure. I don't know. It just doesn't have that, that energy that it used to have. And I just don't think there's any, like, I mean, I think they're all talented people. I just don't think there's any, like, big stars. Well, that's why Kate McKinnon was the biggest star. I think because she was the only one that took characters and made them psychotic,

which is why, like, the Kristen Wigs and the Gilda Radnors are the best. I think Kate McKinnon is running to the same problem that Kristen Whig had because Kristen Wigg, towards the end before she got out, was relying on the same thing. She would either like dance or do something to. Kate McKinnon relies on the same faces and the same stuff. Like even if it's just a normal character, she just, yeah. And like it's just because she's trying to pull that. She's a really good Kate McKinnon, by the way.

Pull that laugh route. And it's like, that's not necessary there. But it's like she's like trying to carry the show. I think she's at her best. Like she was fucking great in, uh, in bombshell. She was... Ben underscore Rame had donated $45. Hey guys, did you see the new trailer for the hitman's wife, bodyguard?

I loved the first one had so much fun with it and this one looks the same plus adding Morgan Freeman. What's your Favrian Reynolds movie that not Deadpool or Deadpool, too? Um, Ben Wilders is one of the ones that, for sure. I still wish he would have done Fletch Fletch I remember in that book He would have perfect for that I think that there's a movie

that he did in a romantic comedy That I Oh with Sandra Bullock No that one's not bad That one's not bad That one's so good No it was what the hell was it You talk of Just Friends

Are you talking Just Friends? I would rather fart into a bag And keep it with me at all times And watch that movie You're insane Just Friends is funny He sounds great. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I hate that movie.

I hate it. What about Green Lantern? Oh no. Thank you. But, no, it's, what's the one he did? It was like him and was, was it fucking, uh, I feel like that scene in clerks. You ever seen that movie with that guy that came out last year? Okay, let's see.

Look what it is. It's like 2009, 2010, like that area. Change up? No, it wasn't change up, but it's a good movie. Oh, was it? I don't have a girl, Breslin? With his daughter. Yeah.

What was, what was that one? Definitely. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe that's it. Maybe. I've never, it's so great that my parents left town, but I'm still hanging out with one of them right now. This is a game I play with my parents. It was a movie with the guy and the do, do, do, do.

Yeah, that's it. The blonde girl? Hey, you know, she was dramatic and she got broken. Christian, it's your mother. Listen, I watched something on the, on the HBO last week. It was the actor. He was in that movie. you know the one that you and your brother liked yeah

did that one do you do you know which act and what movie that was it came out somewhere in the last like 50 years wait you guys speaking of parents the funniest thing happened to me so kate and i were our dads and someone tweeted

um Dana Sabra and george molligan can get it meanwhile i get an email for my dad and a call and says check your email call me right away uh uh oh it's a secure alert from the marshals, the U.S. Marshals. It's being like flagging this tweet that says Dana Sabraq and get it.

He goes, what does can get it mean? I'm like, dad, it's a term of endearment. I imitate. I can't have to make dear. Oh, oh, that's funny. I'll tell them. Just leave it. You can't fuck around.

No, and then he goes, stop. You can get it. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Hold the phone. I didn't explain it right. Nope, don't say that to your clerks. Don't shut it down.

Say it to your kids. Stephanie, that's such a crazy life you live in. Like, you've got, like, and of course he needs to be protective, but like,

that's scary. Yeah. Well, I was actually kind of happy they were on it like that. Yeah. No one's tweeting about random, like,

judges. So it was funny. Still, it just shows you. It's like, don't, you know, don't fuck around.

Yeah. I'm, yeah, you really can't like throw out random digs yeah did you but anyway step you haven't watched mayor yet no you got you should it's really good so you know what's about no it's mayor a mayor of east town that's not oh i've heard of it i haven't seen it no yeah so she is she's she's it was a Pennsylvania right roca yeah Pennsylvania small she's a she's a detective and there's What first opens up is that there's a,

there's been a missing girl for like the last year and happens to be like a friend of hers, her daughter. But then that still hasn't been saved. She was like, she has been solved. She was the main detective on the case. And that hasn't been solved. Then something else happens inside of the show. And it's like, okay, here's another,

another thing that she's got to deal with. Plus, the reason I like the show is it's so layered. It's so layered. And John, again, because I'm terrible with actresses' names, and actress names. Who plays, who's the mother? Gene Smart. She is, that relationship with her and Kate Winslet.

Smart's amazing. Yeah. Gene Smart and Kate Winslet together, they should have their own sitcom. They are so good together. They're chemistry. I believe that they are mother and daughter. Like, it is, Steph,

you watch the first episode, you'll be hooked. Okay, yeah, it's on HBO Max. Yeah. Mayor of East Town. Okay. I will. Really good. That's her name. Yeah, that's why I'm waiting for, what another two weeks until the sixth episode of air so I can just as you know that weekend

oh it's new damn yeah I'm in this in Evan Peters guy Pierce okay cool Evan Peters I also watched the newer movie the other day also uh cliffhanger was Sylvester Stallone have you heard of this one I'm sorry to change the subject here but going back to Evan Peters he's oh he's great fantastic in Uh, in Wanda Vision. Yeah. I never liked him an American horror story. I felt like he was, I don't know what's wrong with me that like I just didn't know he was a good actor.

He goes balls to the wall in Wanda vision in a way that I'm like, oh, this kid's good. So have you, have you not seen him in the X-Men movies? No, no. Oh, yeah, he's really good. So that character. He's silver, silver, silver, silver. Well, you know, he's, uh, quick silver. So, quick silver.

Come on, Kate. But go, go watch him in those movies. and that's why it was such a big reveal when he was because kickass plays him in the MCU Quicksover right and then he and he gets and then he he dies off in in Ultron so that was the big reveal. Oh shit they just brought in the other Quicksilver. Does that mean it's a tie in from the X-Men movies? That was the big thing with Wanda Vision.

But he is great in Marevistown, like really, really good in that movie in that show. Like he's, yeah. Is he playing the same character in Wanda Vision then? No. From the X-Men movies? You think that he is, but he isn't. It's bizarre. Alex, that's real nice.

What's that from? Is that from today? Yeah, that's your Kate McKinnon impression. You know what that makes me realize? That I got to drop about 25 pounds. It's all I've been thinking about my face, this entire show, by the way. I'm just like, keep like trying to find a camera angle where this isn't happening. It looked like Jeremy Kerry.

Fire Marshall Bill. Kate, you look like you're about to host a dinner party right now. Yeah. And I look like I'm supposed to be the first guest at that dinner party. Ray Quasah donated $20. I thought Ryan Reynolds was pretty good in Detective Pikachu. The movie could have been better, though. Imsil waiting on a sequel, though.

See, you did, you did do what I. See, Steph, that is inappropriate. That is inappropriate. That is very inappropriate. It goes back to the conversation that Stefan and Mike, I wish it was on, it was such a great conversation of like the do's and the don'ts of what you actually can say. And the reason why certain stereotypes exist and why they should for as far as, as far as when it goes to women and men. And it was a very interesting conversation that, for again, for example, Alex says,

Alex says, oh, I'm gonna pull up and Steph says whip it out. And Alice, whoa, ho. While, if stuff, lift your shirt. You mother, you fucking creepy asshole. Get out of here as well should be. You're at a bar and a girl and a girl walks by the bar and a guy walks by at the bar. A guy smiles at the girl. She's, hi, everything's cool.

Guy smiles. Oh, she wants the fuck. No, she wants a mojito. You asshole. Crushed, mint. I don't know the recipe. Mint. That's right.

How are you? I'm doing good. Hey, listen. I've got to be honest with you. I've been popping in there. They don't have me on anymore since the change in government in beginning of the year. They don't have my on anymore. I've been slipping in left and right.

And if that sounds sexual, because it is. Okay, well, it was great to talk with you again. Good to see you again. Hey, we remember we have to go. Yeah, oh, that's right. I forgot. We have to go. Why are you doing it, girl?

We have like our friend, our friend. Remember, we told our friend we were going to. I don't like the fact that you're enormity, Steph. You're still green on this show. I'll tell you that. It may fit in like a glove, but I would see it before you. I'll tell you that much. Who's got, I need some.

Okay. I am thirsty right now, though. So listen, maybe you're coming around on my part of the woods and we'll go get a milkshake and a diner. There's one right over here. It's delicious. You can check the cheeseburger. True.

We are just so busy as the- You're still in the room? I, I, Steph showed up. Hold on. You're doing it all wrong. You haven't walked out of them. You've got to grab them. You know, we got to grab them.

Oh, just grab them. Just grab them really hard. They pay attention to you at that point. Dude, I've actually never felt... Order wings or no? I have never felt as seen as Christian saying. Ask you underscore 1 donated $20. Now I have to head off as I have a friend coming in from out of town today.

He'll catch the audio later when I have the chance. Thanks for all the laughs. Thank you. Have fun with your friend. Christian, I'm telling you I've never felt as like understood as when you're like, oh, are you still here? steps in the room now because that's exactly. Oh, wow.

That's exactly, like, that's A, how it should be, and B, so deeply true. And we're supposed to go to Six Flags together. And I'm, like, actually nervous about my safety. I think we should be our dads at Six Flags. We don't need anyone talking to us. And by the way, for the moron in the room, I was like, oh, is that a stereotype voice? That's my friend from school. to this day, to this day, my friend James goes,

what people don't understand is that is your most accurate impression. Like, he's legit, like, hey, not for nothing, but we're going to go to the ball. I'll tell you right now, I'm going to stay there probably to like three in the morning. Is he married? He is. How is that a stereotype? Shut up, you idiot. It is literally my friend from from from from back home who is

I don't know like impressions are stereotyped like you're stereotyping like I'm stereotyping Holly Hunter yeah yeah anyway very nice to see I like to see Holly Hunter in Marev East Town she'd be perfect in who is Holly Hunter she'd be perfect taking Kate Winnett's buck

Go ahead I actually I just I just really like Pennsylvania it's a really nice place the only the only thing is I really I really wish that I hadn't always been on gummies when I watched the show because then I could probably do

a funnier impression and actually talk about something that's in the show but mayor I think the one thing I can say is that mayor is not M-A-Y-O-R it is mayor as in female horse horse Hors.

Hors. You're going to stay with that Pennsylvania accent. Oh, my God. Speaking of course, we got a horror match tomorrow during the Walking Dead Survivors Presents Expo 64 Skybound's latest Expo event. That's tomorrow, May 14th at 10 a.m. P.T., but the match will be airing at 1135 a.m. on the Skybound YouTube channel. You can get more information at skybound expo.com, and the horror exhibition match will be

featuring video, Drew, William Bibiani. and Adam Collins. And someone special on the, calling the match will be Mark Ellis and special guest Robert Kirkman, creator of the Walking Dead and Invincible. That's crazy. That's so exciting.

So we'll be ending the show a little bit early tomorrow so that we can direct people to go watch that on the Skybound YouTube channel. I was excited even the fact, asking Robert to be a part of it, right? So when we came up with the idea, because we were going to do, we had a couple different ideas

of what we were going to do for the Expo. And then we're like, oh, we should do this, the horror trivia and get some competitors. How great would it be if Robert Kirkman was on the desk? And so it took literally just, hey, do you want to do this? Yeah, it sounds fun. I want to do it. It was like, he's the best. So it's a lot fun.

It's going to be, you guys are going to have a lot of fun watching. It's Skybine Expo. It's tomorrow. It's 1130. So thank you, Alex. Do you want me to move Brett and Kate to play date, even though it's not Brett and Kate tomorrow? Who you want? It's usually at one.

No, it should be over. The match should do. Actually, do you want to do it with me? Because Brett's gone? He asked me that, but what's at 1.30? It goes 1 to 2 so that we can make sure that we make room for the match. Yeah, so that we have one for the match. Okay.

I think you can't. I want to do it, but I can't do it tomorrow. Yeah. Can't do it tomorrow. I'm sorry. But Sith Council we can do tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. If you didn't know, we're moving Sith Council to Fridays. It's Friday mornings at 9 a.m.

So just let everybody know. Review Bad Batch with y'all. Yes. All right. Look, we are about $43 away from Gucci getting pranked by Roka. Oh, my God. Yep. And bless you.

And 3.43. Whose bell is ringing in the back? Is that you, Alex? Sith Council, 9 a.m. tomorrow. Sith Council, don't forget, 9 a.m. tomorrow. Seth Sabra. Christian Harloff. Seth Cald said your alarms.

Set your alarms. John, do you need to leave, do you need to evacuate? Hey, Siri, is John Rokka an idiot? She said that's not nice. She did. It's because it's not nice.

It's not nice what you say. And the mean things you say, I don't appreciate it. Don't you do, hey, hey, you can't make old lady voices. It's a stereotype. That's a stereotype. No one actually sounds like this.

What's going to do next? Are you going to impersonate a young person? What's next? What's next, Roca, a dog? You're going to impersonate a dog? Don't do that. Can't impersonate a dog. Can't impersonate a dog.

And what are you going to do to do that? A cat? So what? So what doesn't mean anything. It means it's independent. You're going to make fun of cats and be independent? What's next? What's next, Roca?

Can't make fun of independence in general? You can't do that. Can't make fun of independents? What are you going to do next? Make fun of America? Because really independent, back in 70 months. That's what happened. You're going to make fun of people.

You're going to make fun of people who like numbers? Is that what's next? Oh, oh, you don't like beautiful mind? Oh, oh, you don't like Ron Howard? Come on, come on, you can't do that. You can't do that. You can't make fun. Oh, you don't like movies in general?

You can't do that, Roka. You just personified anxiety in a voice. That's what lives in my head. Sonified Twitter. The YouTube shit. Yeah. And what's next? You can't make fun of your friend.

You can't make fun of his voice. If you do that, you're making a, you're doing a stereotype. voice can't do that can't do that don't do that don't make fun of voice you know what why are you talking don't you can't do that don't make fun of language because you're talking don't do that Brett said Brett said in the chat earlier this I really I really like the old Toad Hop days better this is nothing like that unsubscribe no one bags on them like that that Brett does and he doesn't in such a sort of nice way you don't even realize he's being totally scathing.

Jameson Boggnaudah says, way to be stereotypical to oversensitive actors. Can't do that. Can't do it. As Amishra donated $40. Thank all of you for your content. I absolutely

love this show. You help me get through every day. I want to support but want to know what helps more. Is Patreon the best way to keep you all going if only $510 a month? Or is a shmibot header? The Shmobot, the, not Shemobot, the Patreon for sure.

Patreon, because, because honestly, even though, like, we do, we have some fun here. We do, we try to put in comedy to make sure that, you know, when we hit our goals, you guys are getting laughs at him. It's almost like paying a see a comedy show. That's the way that we equate it, right? The Patreon, you're getting a lot out of it also, besides just a laughing. But you're getting a lot out of it where we're doing three pay-per-views. PC-Wallberg donated $20.

Can't give your opinion about Star Wars on the internet. People don't like that. Wait. No, they actually don't. Oh, no. No. I can't do that. You can't even make fun of that.

You can't say that. Don't do that. Everyone's offended. Can't be offended. Are you making fun of people who get offended? I'm offended. You're offended that people are offended. It's a good Walburton.

It's a good Walberg. It really is a good Walberg. It ain't Dan Merrill Walberg, but it's a good... No, it's not. It's true. All right, Roka, put your speaker phone on. Why? Because we hit the goal.

Wait, I got a call. I actually don't have my phone. This is my favorite about Roka. Roka, so people who don't know, just because I know John for so long. John's brain just shuts off for some reason. Like, whatever, he'd be like, oh, I didn't know that. You mean the fact we just had a 20-minute conversation about it? Yeah, but I was, you know, I was thinking about, like, you know, my next hat.

I'm like, oh, okay, great. So what's, so you got to say? What's going to? Nothing. We were just giving you compliments. So you go to speaker, we got to call. You got to really sell this. You got to say, hey, man, you should be angry and say, Barbarian is trying to rival up some of the guys.

And I'm trying to make these pushes. And it's just too much. He's just, he's doing, he's, he's taken over the faction right now. And I, and I've told him that I'm just, I'm not in for it. And would you be, would you be opposed to the fact that I went to Christian? and said, you know, I think that maybe we'll make a big story thing and you trade me because I just can't work with the guy anymore. So let's see.

So you think you can sell it? Go back to the first part. Do what, though? Used to be, this is your old age. Back in the day, the outlaw, you give him a note. Like, this is where I need you to go with the storyline. He nails it. Now it's like, sure, I got all that except any of it.

Like at my age. Anyway. All right. Let's do this. All right. You put him on speaker. You put the speaker phone to the fucking microphone. And you got to sell it.

Yeah. And sell it. You might not pick up. He might be upset. I'm going to mute myself. As loud as it gets. Should I leave a voice mouth if he doesn't pick up? Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. I'm going to call him back. Call me back right away. Okay. Oh, he might be his number pops up. So just be careful. You've reached.

Three, three, three. Oh. No. Yeah. Wait till it beeps. Tell him, please record your message. When you finished recording, you may hang out. Or press one for more options.

Yo, brother. I really hate that I have to make this call, man. But I'm kind of done with Craig. And I'm kind of done with him thinking that he manages this faction, thinking that he's in control of everyone on our crew. And, you know, him deciding the slices, him deciding what we're good at. I mean, he came at me and was like,

hey, you need to do this, you need to do that. I can't do this anymore, bro. I mean, I went with you in this situation and we thought we were doing great to get Craig on and we're going to be awesome. But what's been going on now? I can't do it. I'm about to have a huge match against lightning time

and my brain is kind of like not there 100% because of all this madness. So I think I'm going to ask, you've got to trade me. I can't do this anymore. And I hate to screw JTE over like this. Or maybe you trade both of us. I don't know what the option is because I think we've tried everything to handle this. And at the end of the day, this is the eighth season.

I've been in this thing for seven seasons. And I just, my patience for this kind of nonsense is at an end. So, brother, whatever. you need to do to swing a trade, make it happen, because I just can't do this anymore. I love working with you, brother. It's been a great year with you, but I just, as much as I love the barbarian, it's all just too much. It's overwhelming. So call me back when you get this. I know you're on set, handed out walkie-talkies to a bunch of nobody. So just call me back when you get a chance. I love you. Oh, my God. As the Oscar goes to.

Here's amazing. I like that direction, you said. It was good. It was good. It was Good, but here's the, here's, here's come the notes. Here come the notes from Snowberg. No, no, your performance was excellent. No notes on the performance. But here is 100% what is going to happen. Bobby Gucci will listen to none of that. He's not going to listen to what he's going to do.

He's going to call you back or text you. Yeah. That's what he's going to do. So we'll see, but it's really good. It was really good. All right. So look, that was the goal for that now. Kate's going to be, Kate is on the clock.

Kate is on the clock. I out act Roca. I don't know. We're at right now. That was really good. We're about 270, a little bit, 280 away from the,

from the goal, 280 from the goal. And once we hit 280, Kate is now going to call Paul Preston, but tell him he's actually been traded to the exchange. That will be something,

because I think that's going to be, be yeah that'll that'll be the question is how long how long can can she sell it is is the big the big question or you know with you know we should also try to do if we can't get in touch is that maybe he'll pick up i'm telling you Preston will see me calling and we'll pick up do you think do you think that if we get to a thousand do you think that if if we had roca call roxy you think she would believe it if we said that if roca called because she doesn't think roca's on the show on thursday so if roca called her up and was like, hey, do you think you would, if I could get Gucci to do it, would you do Andrako for me?

I don't know, I don't know if I want to, I don't know if I want. I don't know. There's still champions, right? Yeah, probably not. Yeah. All right. Anyway, so let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, go to. Yeah, go, do it.

All right. J-O-J-O-H-2 says, yo, we'd love to have y'all in Houston again. We'll never forget Gucci talking with me about hollering at women in front of my girlfriend at the time. I watched The Pelican Brief, and Denzel and Julia have chemistry, but never hook up. Are there any other notable examples of this for you?

So there's a reason behind that with the Pelican. Tell them, tell him. So Denzel Washington said that he had, he was, I think, and John, you quote me on this more so, but he was more, he was concerned about the reaction of how, at the time, it was like 92, 93, of a black man kissing, a white woman at the, in the lead. He was concerned, he was concerned about it. I don't want to quote him exactly, but that's, and then that, that was the why.

I think that when they asked Julia Roberts about it, they, but I can't remember the exact reason why, John, do you, is that pretty much? Yeah, I mean, it was a studio and, like, Denzel was concerned about it because the studio had made a big deal about the fact we can't have an interracial relationship be the leader. I mean, I know that seems only 20 some years ago, but it's incredible how far we've come now. But yeah, at the time, it was a massive deal. Even Will Smith, remember Will Smith never had a white woman as his co-lead. It was Salma Hayek or Eva Mendez.

And Hancock was kind of close to that, but not really. So it was a lot of these black stars weren't allowed to have white women as the co-stars in the main feature films. the independent films you could do that, but the main feature films studios had an issue with it. So it's crazy. That's stupid where it came from.

Okay, what's the next, Alice? All right, Garth Arnaz McMurray is that idea for a prank. Rachel Silvestrini met Kevin Smith this week at a pop-up movies in Texas. Call her and tell her that Kevin Smith loved meeting her and he wants to match with her. Oh, no, I couldn't do that to her.

No, no, no, no. Call her and say Kevin Smith really hated meeting her and doesn't ever want to have... That's the prank. If I call her... If I call... If I called her up and said, hey, so I just spoke to Kevin, like, what did you say to him? Like, does he piece it?

That's it. That after the interaction, like, that he doesn't want to do the matches anymore? What happened? What did you say about the show? Like, that I could get her with because then I would just say after someone like, you're on S. You can prank. She'd be, you asshole.

That's all to happen. Christian, I'm going to need a safe word with you. Patricia left's donated $20. My mom's moving and I've been packing my little sister's room. She lives in the same town. Why am I doing this? Then I remember she works and takes college classes in only searching for both a job and someone to teach me. Wink, wink, wink.

Thanks for the laughs. Hello. Thank you, Patricia Mutz. Thank you very much. Oh, yes, so look at that. Kate, you're about 260 from a relationship. Usually towards the end of the show is usually when they start coming in. So we're 260 away from Kate making a phone call to...

Within the same phone call, depending on how down the spiral we go. Do I also get to reveal to him that it's a prank? Marian, yes. Okay, okay. Absolutely. Absolutely. Hey, everybody. It's time for another.

Stream Labs. Go ahead, Oh, wow, hell yeah, let's do this. All right, next stream lab from Justice Square. Happy almost Friday, S-E-N, crew. I don't know if this is too much a peek behind the curtain, but I am just curious about something.

What part of your job that's off-camera that is the most fun for you? What can be tedious at times? Sleeping is the most fun. Good. Travis Gilbert donated $50. This will get me in trouble with my wife and with Kate.

but I need to see Kate make this call. Make this call. He's one of my, he's one of my, uh, he's, I think he's actually a, um, as Paul Preston keeps calling him like Kegel. Omar and does call me a donated $35. Eat Mubarak to my son family. I want to thank you, Christian, and the entire team for keeping me happy during a very difficult time in my life.

I just got an offer letter for a new job and my third child is due any day now. I love you all so much. Thank you. Who is that? Sorry. Omar, Mir. Omar, congrats on the third baby.

Yeah. And the job. How nice of you. Thank you very much. Appreciate both those big donations. Travis, you should. Yeah, thanks to the Kegels.

Yes. Thanks to the Kegels and the Dena Nites. Yeah, Kate, you are 177. 177 away from making this phone call. 177, I feel, and with 15 minutes to go. I think you should start figuring. out exactly. So Jameson Bogunana. I should probably text him in advance to be like, hey, I have to talk to you about something serious. Are you around? If we hit it, but if we don't

hit it, you know, like an idiot. Yeah. Okay, okay. So if we get to, you know what, Kate will send the text when we hit 700, which were 80, all. Then you send the text, and that means it's looking like it's going to happen. So Jameson Bogunta, once again, says Christian Harlov, causing his co-host anxiety attacks since 2020. I was 2014 more or less we've been doing pranks the first prank the best prank

still to this day was the Katie Sackoff Jeremy John's prank that was the best one Oh my God wow You're really good and And I would I haven't played it in a while Did you guys ever hear the wrong number Dana? No

Wrong number Dana Yeah wrong number Dana Oh wait I might have I doubt it Let's see Oh here it is So this is no no no I heard Patty boy. Yeah, this is this is wrong number

data. This is Dana. So to set this up, we were on, this is when we were on the Toad Hobb Network. Oh, those are the good days, Christian. Way before you were on the show. And we got a phone call from somebody who thought they were calling into the Nick Ritchie show

and not our show. So this was me as I was taking this call. So on this particular day, we got a random phone call. We have told her that she was calling. We could have told her she was calling into the wrong show, but that's not. All right. So, hey, Shemobel, do we got? My name is Dana. Dana. What's up, Dana? How are you? Are you calling from, Dana? I'm real good. I'm calling from Oxnard. Okay, so what do you have to say,

Dana? Well, I'm definitely interested in the whole dynamic of the couple's therapy. It's just amazing how, first of all, I'm a huge fan of yours, Nick. I think it's fantastic that you tell the truth and tell people like it is, and that's how I'm always like that. I get trouble to my mouth all the time. Are you talking about couples there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's fantastically crazy. I couldn't be in a room with that girl.

She's nuts. I agree. Especially if you saw what she did last Tuesday. It was unbelievable. Ridiculous. Unbelievable. Like, if you, did you ever, apparently they cast her in a film? Oh, my God.

It's unreal. But where do you go from here? What's the next step, Dan? What's going to happen, though, Dana? They definitely have to break up. Yeah. I mean, I mean, how do you make it work?

There's no way you can make it work. That's ridiculous. How can you be with somebody that's older than your damn parents? That's just, that's insanity. It's disgusting, and I want to write a lot. Absolutely. Absolutely. It's just horrible.

They're going to do what they do, but there's no way it's going to last. No way in hell. All right. Dana, do me a favor, though, too. Because we are big fans of the, there's a podcast called the Schmo. know, which we're also friends with, let them know your thoughts on this, and you should follow them on Twitter as well. The schmows know. Okay. Thanks for the call, Dana. No problem. And you know what? I just want to tell you. I just, I hope you and Shane Megan, I adore her. She's awesome. And I wish you both the best.

Thank you. I love her to death and I love you for calling. Thank you, Dan. You're a fucking monster. It's disgusting. I'm going to write a letter. You, the smoothness with which you adapted to that lie is staggering. It's chilling, Christian. I don't trust you as far as I can throw you. It wasn't even a second between when you realized and then when you move to the next thought. You sit in the back.

Tiffany Smith goes, do you talk about counseling? And then our engineer at the time was like, I think she's calling in. And I go, and you watch me in, too, I go, shut up, shut up. And like, because I didn't want it to know. So I was like, let's just go with it. It's like, it just reminds me of those days. Like when, when people, when, when I get calls from, from like telemarketers, like, I just go. I miss the days when I could go into that.

And when I just like, like, I remember one time, they were like, oh, is this so-and-so? Yeah, this is his brother. And they're like, so, well, but we're looking for, we can't give the information unless it's so-and-so. Yeah, but my brother trusts me. What do you got for me? I said, oh, but, well, do you live with them? Sometimes, just depends on where I'm at, you know, but a lot of times, I'm around, I'm around. Like, well, we don't know if we can share this information.

Look, buddy, you can share with me. I'm not going to tell them anything. And you just keep them on the phone. It's like, why not? That's a better tactic than getting mad. You just fuck with them. You just fuck with them. That's what I do all the time.

Like, look, it's not their fault. They're doing their job, but like, I'm not allowed to have fun. Yeah. Hey, you know, this is. so and so for blah blah blah. I'm like, ha ha, I haven't been to blah, blah, blah,

in like 10 years. Love it. Love you guys. Right. There's this guy on YouTube and Twitch that messes with like scam callers. Yeah. He uses like a voice changer to sound like an old lady.

And he keeps these people on the phone for hours. He had this dude on the phone for 36 hours. It's insane. Wow. I've seen, I've seen, I don't know about that particular one, but I think I see the way that he's just keeping them on and having this whole, I love that shit. It's my favorite. And I like when those phone calls used to come in, like, oh, I think, yeah, wrong number, Dan is one of my favorite things that we ever did. Kate, you might be.

That was my, that was my dating technique in high school, keeping them on the phone for 36 hours until they said yes. Yeah, and then letting them out of the basement. Yeah, persistence. That's what I was told it was. Well, look, so we're one, we're 180, 180 away, Kate. So you might be all right. Might be all right. You're 180 away.

So with eight minutes to go, it might be all right. It's like wrapping up her hair ready for game time. I'm like, okay. Maybe. I mean, it would be a good way to close out the show. A good way to close out the show. What happened with Goddard? What about Goddard?

When we did the prank, it was like the last second ringer. Yeah. Yeah. So we need to figure out. We need to figure out if we can do this. Are there any more stream labs, Alan? I got a hard out of 12. Just shut your fucking mouth.

I'm telling you. I get all right. Go ahead. Garth Arniz McMurray says Matt Link made a great video clip of when I requested Brett and Elmo, Brett as Elmo and stuff, doing Rick and Ilza in the end scene of Casablanca.

You would love my old man. He does this to every telemarketer that calls him. One time he had a telemarketer buying something from him by the end. Oh my gosh. That's the best. It is the best. It's one of the things I miss about, you know, the phone calls when they come in. You know, I just, because you can get, you know, now,

sometimes I do pick up the unsolicited calls for moments like that. And I'll be honest, even I'm not on the air, sometimes I do it, just for fun. It's how I train. It's how I practice. It gives me a kick. It gives me a real kick to say, you know, today I convince somebody in order to sell me a new phone or to get an upgrade, they would have to eat a bag of pretzels with me on the air. Subscribe to the Shmowdown.

That's right. Hey, so hi, Mr. So-and-so, do you, we're looking. Are you looking to upgrade on your blah, blah, blah? No, but I really like pretzels. Are you looking to upgrade?

He said, you won't be including 20, 20, 20 movies in the category. Does that include 2021 movies as well? Thanks. My favorite questions are about how.

how the questions themselves work or the wheel or releases because I can honestly say I have no idea. I don't deal with it. So I'd like to not answer because I can say I have no idea. I led Ellis and PJ and all those guys handle it because I have nothing to do with that. So, you know, whatever they want to, whatever they want to do. Because that way, that's one less thing for the managers and players to complain to me about. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Paul is around. Paul's around. He said, hey, you around. He's like, what's up? All right. So with four minutes. So with four minutes left, Paul Preston is on the ready for this call because we just
