And now another no-brainer money-saving tip from Progressive.
Marcus, what happened?
I was changing my oil and I spilled some on the floor.
Oh, we used these $50 bills to wipe it up.
Perfect. Got any more?
Yeah, yeah, take a couple hundred.
Stop.
Instead of using money, use an old rag.
And here's a better tip from Progressive on how not to waste money.
Don't pay too much for car insurance.
Drivers who switch and save could save hundreds.
Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates, potential savings will vary.
Ladies and gentlemen, men.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Thursday, y'all, and we're going to have a show.
I'm hosting today, so it's going to be just, we're going to stay on the rails, as they say,
and it's going to be on, period, as Steph would say.
So let's just say hi to Steph right now.
How are you doing, Steph?
How are you doing this fine Thursday?
I'm so good, right?
Doodleoo.
Doodily me.
Yeah.
Happy to be here with you.
I love it.
I love it. I love it. And who's that with the best hair in the biz? I can't. Oh, is it, is it? Is it right? Is it Ben? Is it right? Is it Ben? I don't, Ben. Ben, we'll go to Ben first. We'll have a fire fight halfway through the show. How you doing, Ben? I am good. Udollah lolly, as they say in the animated Robin Hood. Oh, Oudelolly. Oudelolly. Gollywood a day. Oh, love it, love it. Alex, how's it going this fine day? Are you happy not to be doing a Schmode out of war?
Oh, yeah.
Just quite, yeah, yeah.
It's fine.
I forgot to update my picture here.
Now it's back up there.
ASMR.
And helping us out until we transition into our new help is Dwayne Burke.
How are you doing, Blaine?
I'm going to call you Blaine now.
That's a combination of Burke and Dwayne.
All right, let me change the lower third real quick.
Oh, you're muted.
You're muted.
Oh, no.
Stay on.
There we go. There we go.
Have the tech guy help you out and unmute you.
Got it.
Why does this seem so, everything seems so quiet or something?
Is that, it's just me?
I can get louder, Brett.
Just let me know, you know?
Volume-wise, it's just like, I don't know.
Like, I feel like, I don't know.
Oh, no, Kate's not here.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
So, Alex, let's dive right in.
I mean, today, guys, I don't think we're going to get.
to all the news stories because there's so much dropping today, a lot of exciting stuff.
It's just, it's insane.
I know, you know, people are sending them in in the chat for sure and saying like,
what about this?
What about this?
But we'll start out with, and this is going to be strange, we're going to start out with what
the thumb mail says.
Bitcoin and burritos.
Yes, that's right.
Bitcoin and burritos.
So let's dig right into it.
Ben, you're ready to go.
How do we get into this Bitcoin and burritos?
I am on burritos or Bitcoins.
Bitcoin.com right now and description it's a what is the link in the description
yeah link in the description link in the description below
it's not it's not in there. April fools got you fuckers get fucking poned
we got it then we got him oh we fucking got you dog
welcome to the prank zone you know what I am so upset about and I'm not gonna
like button
Literally took you five seconds before you just went in on it.
Oh, I did.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, I don't even hear the punchline.
You know what's super cool right now before you get into that is I can't open the chat or click on anything on my computer right now.
So I'm feeling good.
It's a good dad to host.
So I hope I stick around for the show.
I don't know what's going on.
But yeah, go ahead.
Ben, why don't you explain this?
because I actually am really, really interested in this.
I thought it was an April Fool's joke,
but I want to know, like,
what's going on with the Bitcoin and Burritos?
Because I know people don't really care about this Knives Out thing.
Yeah.
Okay, so I'm on Bitcoins or Burritos right now,
and you just enter your first and last name and an email address,
and I'm staring at this screen right now.
I'm going to, can I share?
Oh, no, he's disabled.
So it's just a six-digit code.
So I know two of my numbers are going to be six and nine
I need y'all to help me out with the other four
So help me out either schmobot him in
Yeah yeah like that because I don't know how many codes I can enter
I don't know how many codes I can enter
It might just be one you get 10
I get 10 okay oh my goodness
Yeah Dwayne that reminds me turn the Schmobot on
I know we had some great
shows the other day.
They didn't set the bar super high for me.
Roxy just with no work whatsoever.
Quick G.
No problem at all.
Like, let's just play a little truth or dare.
Boom, $100, $100, $100, $100.
I'm hoping to get to five today, folks.
This is my big goal today.
If we get to $500, I'll just be happy.
That's the first goal.
I won't be sad if we get to $5.
Maybe we'll find something else
during the rest of the show.
But, okay, well, Ben, here where it is.
We got your first number.
0-0-0-0-6-9.
0-0-0-6-9.
There's no zeros.
There's no zeros.
Oh, it's one to nine, guys.
It's one to nine.
And the rest of them I'm getting have
zeroes in it.
Yeah, there's nothing but zeros.
All right, so we're going to, first one I'm going to do,
6-9, 6-9-69, 6-69.
I like that. I like that. Let's see if he gets Bitcoin.
You guys, breaking news, something else just broke. There has been found THC. That's marijuana cannabis in space.
What? Was this with the Mars rover or how did this?
Yeah. Actually, they sent it out a few years ago and they're just finding some crystals, if you will, now.
So if you want to start, yeah, if you want to start investing in Bitcoin, we,
in space. I would do it now.
But, dude. Yeah.
It seems like the most Elon Musk
headline I think I've ever heard.
Yeah, that's 5G news.
Yeah, they've got the
they got the dankiest.
I knew I should.
We got 420, we'll all take an edible.
Apollo 69.
If we hit 420,
I will take an edible.
Yes. Yeah, once we hit
$420,
dollars, Duane's taking an ed.
Yep.
I got them right here.
And I'm, if we hit one schmobot,
hopefully that I'll make my computer start working again.
Alex, I'm tired of messing around.
Let's just get to the damn story.
Oh, we know.
I'm already.
I'm already out.
The problem is, is that Ben within seconds of introducing the first story said,
April fools, you've got pulled.
And that from there,
There was no more excited, okay?
It is.
Who does?
Have you ever gotten?
Like, let's hear from everybody.
Let's hear about your, the worst you've been April Fool's.
I think, Alex, did you tell me you got one that yours was horrible?
It wasn't an April Fool's thing, but I just got pranked.
For those who haven't heard it, I was at a friend's house.
We were doing like a whole, like, you know, game night kind of thing.
There was a bunch, it was a bunch of boys.
We were like, what, 11, 12, middle school age.
and then all of a sudden I hear like oh shit like someone one of us has like gone missing like someone's outside it like um like someone he got abducted by someone and like there's blood in the patio and everything and then they got me freaked out like they're all playing this prank on me and then of course you know they were just just messing with me but I was like that's pretty scarring you guys suck but I still hung out with him because I wanted to be with the cool kids oh my god the worst kids boys are the
worse at pranking each other. My brother used to roll with a crew that was basically jackass,
but like underage and shouldn't have been doing any of the shit they were doing.
Like in the middle of the night, just dog clippers shaving half their heads, like putting Tabasco
in between their butt cheeks while they sleep. Men are just psychotic. But I do want to hear
everyone's worst April fools. Maybe if we reach a certain goal, I'll think of something. I can
crank my mom on the phone. Oh yeah, yeah. We could, um, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll,
Very go-a-bar.
You know, would get Christian.
If we hit a grand a day, he'd be so pissed.
Yes.
Don't.
Don't do it.
Don't.
Not what I'm hosting, because he could, all that, I'll make him crazy.
I knew people that used to put plates of shit hidden in, like, vents and stuff of dorm rooms
or, like, under their bed somewhere where they wouldn't find it.
It was called plating.
And it was a fun little thing.
And that denies...
Ben underscore Rainer donated $20.
Hey, there we go.
Hey, gang, Brett, you're doing an awesome job as host.
Brett, when you were talking about Davy and Goliath, got me remembering another show from my youth, David and the gnome.
Does anyone remember that one?
My B-Day is April Fool's Zim a joke.
Loll, J.K., not a joke.
Um, I don't remember that one.
I was going to look it up.
But again, I don't know what my computer's doing.
Uh, not being able to click on it.
things super fun going to help me out to get these uh get these stories pulled up and and comment but uh
go ahead Alex let's in I don't know what the hell is happening you want to like re-close it and then
come back I might have to I might have to um yeah because I it's it's kind of annoying and it's
I'm afraid um I'm just afraid you guys um that I'm gonna miss not naked and afraid you guys um that I'm gonna miss not
naked and afraid. You're just a letter.
Yeah. Would you do naked
and afraid? That's the other question. We're going to
throw out there. Anything anybody says,
I'm going to make me too mobile questions.
Yes. Throw them out there.
Why don't I,
yeah, why don't I just try to restart my
computer? Because this is
almost
hitting me really hard in my
obsessive-compulsive
nature.
You can't click
on IMDP to live.
Look up actor they're talking about.
All right, so the host is going to leave for a little bit.
Alex, you go ahead and start that news story off and I'll be back in a bit, maybe.
Okay, we'll get to the real news.
We'll get to the real news.
All right.
See in a bit.
So you don't miss anything.
All right, so bye Brett for now.
Let's get to the thumbnail story.
He can't even leave the Zoom.
I know, I can't.
Control out to leave, Brett.
Yeah, it never works on mine for some.
reason. I'm going to have to just do a hard.
Shut off. Bye guys.
Bye.
Bye.
He should have smiled or something.
Oh, dang. Oh, okay, okay.
Love him.
Well, he's still here in my background, so at least we got that.
Yeah.
All right. Shall we get to the main topic?
We shall.
Let's do it.
All right. So, yeah, Netflix has purchased the rights to two sequels to Ryan Johnson's
2019 movie knives out for $450 million.
After a bidding war with Apple and Amazon, Johnson will return to write and direct with Daniel Craig reprising his role in both movies.
The second installment will shoot at the end of June in Greece, and I'm sure we'll be hearing casting news soon.
I'll throw this to Steph. Are you excited for more knives out?
And Ben, what's your favorite knife to use in general?
Yeah, I'm definitely excited for more knives out.
I love the original.
I think more notably, though, I'm thinking about how it's going to continue to shift the streaming services.
the fact that we have like this massive, what is it?
You said $450 million deal?
$450 million deal for a movie that probably would make close to that amount in theater
is just completely going to shift the way.
I think streaming services are going to continue to take over.
It kind of makes me a little bit scared for theaters.
But I'm all about constantly evolving.
And if that's the way the industry is shifting,
that's the way the industry's shifting.
I think it's really dope that he's getting to do this.
I didn't know that there was going to be a third one.
So basically is it going to be just new stories with Daniel Craig at the helm of each story?
Okay.
That seems to be that way.
My favorite knife to butcher knife.
I do love this, but I agree with Steph.
Like with this and, you know, like David Fincher signed on for a multi-year or multi-picture deal with Netflix.
It seems like directors are like, you know what?
I'm going to get my money while I can right now with, you know, all these streaming
services and who knows you know irishman was in theaters uh roma went into theaters marriage
story so we'll see what kind of limited release or what the plan is with netflix with theaters
by the time these movies come out because i'm you know theaters are reopening and we have friends
going to see godzilla versus king kong right now so but no this is awesome i'm still in the
camp of please recast the same exact people bring everybody back unfortunately not christopher plumber
bring everybody else back and just have them play completely different roles except for Daniel Craig.
Daniel Craig is still Benoit Blanc, the detective, uh, but everybody else is different roles.
And then I think that'd be so much fun. And I think everybody would be in on the joke.
Because like this movie made really, really good money. And you just have like the same people
playing completely different parts, you know, all in a new murder mystery, whatever you want to do.
So I think it would be amazing. But that, that'd be cool if they did that. And I think they could do
that just because of the unique relationship that movie has with its audience. It's also a really
smart movie in terms of the budget is not large. No. You're filming in a house basically with two
other scenes outside of it and all you're really paying for is the cast. Exactly. So like,
I mean, I'm sure Ryan Johnson will cast a brand new, like, amazing, like, role of characters
and everything like that. But I, I would love to do like just the same actors, just all different
parts in a brand new mystery.
That would be sick.
I love that idea.
Alex, are you excited about it?
Yeah, I mean, I love the first one.
Apparently, it was made for $40 million, so I think most of that already went to the cast.
So that means $225 million for each movie.
It's pretty wild.
I mean, if you're not already a subscriber to Netflix, then this would hopefully get you
to do it because, I mean, they've already got so much good stuff.
I'm also like it's crazy that he's only kind of shopping this out like Amazon, Apple and Netflix.
Like he wasn't searching for like a paramount again, a universal, et cetera, et cetera, like a big name studio.
But it's cool that he has, you know, this is his property.
It's still his.
He's just licensing it out.
Yeah.
It's really cool for him that I know Ben doesn't agree with me, but like I didn't love the last Jedi.
but right after this he came in hot with an incredible film and now is getting a trilogy out of it.
That's really, really cool for his legacy.
And a lot of people loved The Last Jedi.
So this is just a double win for those types of people.
But it just shows the range of what he can create.
And it makes me excited for what he'll do after Knives out or in between.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I mean, regardless of how you feel about Last Jedi, like this guy like really hasn't missed outside of it.
And I don't think he's missed including it.
So, like, I want to see his Star Wars trilogy and, you know, we, I think reported a few months ago that that's still somewhat in the works or, you know, still hasn't been.
Not off the table.
Yeah, not, it's not off the slate yet.
So I, but I would love, like, if he never returns to Star Wars, I understand it.
And if he's got $450 million in his pocket to make his own creations good on him.
And I'm so happy for Ryan Johnson.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm kind of in the position now where.
You know, depending how knives out two and three go and all the other things he's working on,
you can't really just pull someone, like judge someone by one thing that didn't work for me,
but I know worked for so many other people.
That doesn't mean that he can't.
I'm kind of shifting from where I was like, I don't think he needs to do another one.
He's gotten the opportunity to.
If he did, I think there's a really high probability would be bomb.
Oh, yeah.
Like I want to see him do like knives out, but also.
Also, like, Ryan Johnson has brought, like, his touch to so many different styles of movies, like in sci-fi.
Now we got, you know, like this, like, Agatha Christie murder.
We got the, like, this neo-noir with, with brick.
We got another, like, time travel sci-fi with Looper.
He's brought his touch, the Ryan Johnson touch.
Shadow Dragon Productions donated $20.
Thank you, Shadrash, anxiety attacking him, forgetting how to breathe him, losing sleep, insomnia I need to hear.
Your voice now right by my side whisper.
you're my comfort zone, I want you
with me open the doors for you, but him running
out the door I opened for you.
One day I'll get
the, I'll get the music that he
puts in. Yeah, so that's,
is it always lyrics?
Always lyrics. Usually. Yeah.
Something like that, yeah.
But, I mean,
yeah, what do you think with like
Death on the Nile, with
that whole Hercules, Perot,
that franchise, especially with
Death on the Nile, kind of, you know,
has Army Hammer in a very prominent role there.
Do you think that franchise is done?
Do you think Knives Out will be the,
we'll be overtaking that in terms of the mystery thriller?
I think, I mean, if they can replace Kevin Spacey in a movie,
like with a prominent role,
they can easily do it with Army Hammer.
And I don't know,
I don't know enough about that situation to know,
like, they need to completely replace them.
I know, I know all the memes about it.
The memes are hilarious.
I don't know like the serious side of it.
My sister went in deep.
I've seen the Twitter side of it and it's hilarious.
I just don't know what like the actual.
Yeah, yeah, I feel you.
You don't want to like send someone to their death without like actually seeing it for yourself.
Yeah.
And this thing like I'm like I don't I don't know anything about it.
But I'm I was really looking forward to death on the Nile.
I wish there was some kind of time travel, uh, space continuum that Hercule,
uh, Hercue Perot and Benoit Blanc could team up somehow.
Like, that needs to be Knives Out Three as Benoit Blanc time travels.
And, like, and, like, meets up with them and Sherlock Holmes together.
I think that would be amazing.
And, like, someone needs to get that.
A time travel mystery thriller.
Hell yeah.
That sounds so sick.
But I think they have to replace Army Hammer.
I don't know if they finished filming or not for it.
They did.
They did.
Yeah.
It was like, come out.
Yeah, last.
Yeah, it's like in the can.
It's like completely done.
So it would, it would be at least like a year.
delay, like, to get everybody back in there.
The share it with a friend deal.
Even if that friend is yourself.

Yeah, I actually don't know what they're going to do with it
because depending on where the investigation goes with him
and I've heard of potential like criminal charges,
I think that it could be like worse than a Kevin Spacey.
And yeah, yeah, my sister's an attorney.
And so when she goes in, she joined her first Reddit thread
to like do her research and do diligence on this man.
And she was horrified.
Well, you know it's like, we don't have to get too far into it.
But you know when someone-
We have no host, let's do it.
Just like someone of that influence and the money behind him, like, if he's getting
dropped by his agents and stuff like that and losing movies and like, it's got to be something, man.
Like, that's the thing.
That's all I know because I've only seen about it.
And tell me why.
I know it's got to be something.
It's got to be.
and tell me what, at least for me, and I've spoken to a few people who feel this way,
I've never not been rubbed the wrong way by him ever since social network.
Like, he's always been a Winkle Voss, whatever the fuck, ass.
And I've never like, how different.
The only, like, kind of redeemable role he did was, um, on the basis of sex when he played
Marty, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's wonderful husband.
And like, that's the best character he could be given.
But that now in hindsight kind of sucks he played.
Is it wrong that I didn't hate the Lone Ranger?
Like, I know.
A double canceled movie.
That's a double canceled.
Like,
Ranger.
It was with Army Hammer and Johnny Depp.
Google it.
Google it.
Googling it.
Okay.
Gore Vibinsky tried to recreate it,
recreate his Pirates magic with it,
and it didn't work.
Like it was like one of the,
the biggest Disney bombs of all time.
Like,
it's like a $350 million movie.
I think it made like $20 million.
million dollars or something like that like it was crazy how how big this movie bombed and i it's in
inter gigdom now so i watched it the other day for the first time and i didn't hate it i i know i
didn't know how to feel about it why like what yeah what did you feel if you didn't hate it what was
your thoughts the okay it's too long and they they spent way way way too much money on it i can tell
that but the first 20 minutes of lone ranger is like
fun as hell. Like it's like the train high sequence. It like does what it's supposed to do.
And then it goes, it goes off the rails. But the first like 20, 30 minutes of Lone Ranger,
the opening action scene is really, really good. But then they tried to make it pirates of the
Caribbean, but like in the West. So it's like, oh man. Yeah, what is Johnny Depp's character?
He's Tonto. He is, uh, he is, uh,
a Native American in that movie.
And I've been told, like me and Mara talked about it on my show the other week.
And someone commented that Johnny Depp is Native American.
I don't know.
Oh, interesting.
So I, yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
Well, it's hard to keep up sometimes.
But I didn't hate the movie.
I don't know enough about Army Hammer's accusations to comment on that.
But I just know that everyone, everyone hated that movie.
and it was this huge bomb
but I didn't hate it
which is apparently you know
I was very surprised I was like oh man I got to watch
so strong possibility
strong possibility
just like there's so many movies
that are like four or like three hours long
do you think there will be more sequels that go
to streaming services that get turned
down by the studios
wonder if knives out to pitch
got turned down
I'd be very surprised
if it did because like
me too. It made like $400 million or something like that in the theaters. And like Alex said,
it was like a, you needed a nice big house. And that was literally all you needed to rent out for,
you know, of six weeks. But I'd be very surprised. But I think, you know, you follow the money.
So with with stuff like Roma, with stuff like the Irishman with Netflix being like, oh, you're a big director.
We're going to give you all creative control over this. Yeah. We're going to make, let you, let you,
you make your passion project and that's what they did.
I think within months after Knives Out released,
I remember Ryan Johnson tweeting about the sequel,
or at least giving like heavy teasers that a sequel was getting placed or an order,
but like no one discussed who bought it or anything.
So I think I would be shocked if theaters weren't,
if there wasn't some sort of bigger studio trying to buy it out.
Yeah.
I think that is the lot of-
Donated $50.
Hey, thank you.
Pop in for a minute. I don't know what is going on, but my beautiful Ben is here. How are you doing?
Have a beautiful day, everyone. X-O-X-O-X-O-X-O.
Who is that from, Alex?
Patricia Mets.
Oh, thanks, Patricia. You have a good day, too. Appreciate that.
Beautiful Ben is my favorite nickname ever. Patricia, thank you for giving that to me. I will also only refer to him as Beautiful Ben.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I would say I'd be shocked if it wasn't trying to get picked up.
Studio, I think just as a director, which Ben pointed out in the beginning, you're going where the money is and where you
have a secured two and three, which you're making double, where if you just have a sequel, you're more, less likely to have a third movie come out.
You just don't really know.
But I do think that in terms of in the future, definitely we'll see sequels that aren't bought by major networks, go to streaming networks, like what we saw with coming to America.
I think, well, I don't know if that was originally planned for a theatrical release.
It wasn't, right?
It was theatrical, but then due to COVID.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think movies like that, though, will do better on streaming sites for sequels.
I don't, like, I am, I was surprised reading about this because, like, I feel like, you know, these, like, studios only want kind of, like, known IPs nowadays.
Like, you know, we're getting like so many reboots and remakes.
And, you know, that's not all bad.
Like, I don't want to like paint with a broad brush here.
But it is like, it was very surprising to see like this very, like this original movie do so well.
Because it had like this killer cast and, you know, it had great writing and directing behind it.
And so I'm surprised like a studio didn't be like, nope, sequel right now.
Like just immediately greenlighted it.
And so, I know maybe COVID.
had something to do with that with slowing down the process and slowing down the negotiations of it.
But I feel like this is like the easiest slam dunk to be like, oh, you can make a $30 million
movie and it's going to make almost half a billion. Cool. Let's do 10 of those. Like I thought
like this feels like something that a studio would drive into the ground. But maybe he, maybe they
wanted to take it over. Maybe they wanted to be like, all right, Ryan, you can have a producing
credit on this, but we're going to, because you're maybe the cast you have is too expensive or you're
too expensive now or maybe he wanted to go a little bit bigger this time and like go like have
different settings but so so there could be we don't know what happened at the at the at the table
but i like i'm kind of with alex where i'm just surprised at this this happened for netflix
that yeah like that this wasn't you know that production didn't get interrupted by covid
because they were already starting filming for it or something like that yeah i think studios
though okay i don't know it can be kind of dumb they think
that the big action ones are the things that they can really double down on and like put all their
eggs in that basket. And I think it was honestly surprised to some business people that knives out
did so well because it's more based in the writing and the intricacies and the mystery of it
unfolding. And mainly the character work. That's what everyone was walking away so impressed with
was each character was so full and so different on their own and acted so well. So I wouldn't be
surprised if there was some major networks just not seeing that or not seeing the ability for that
to do well a second time and kind of being surprised by that but uh i am not surprised that
netflix outbid everyone i think that they're really moving towards making like they're the ones
putting so much effort behind their private movies that netflix is producing for sure yeah
although i do hope this does get some theatrical play as well just because the the i saw that three
times in theaters and just because of like being with the audience as we reacted to seeing all this
mysteries unfold that was incredible so it's such a fun movie i really like i'm so excited for this
and especially like i miss going to theater so i'll definitely go see this in theaters if they do
like a roma or you know an irishman or something like that but it's going to be fun just being able
to click on it whenever i want to on netflix too yeah yeah someone in the chat seattle chaos did
Avatar 2, 3, and 4 were all greenlit together.
That's because Avatar was the first movie to ever break a billion dollars, right?
I don't know if it was the first movie, but I know it was like the highest grossing movie, like, when it...
Worldwide, yeah.
How are they going to do 3 and 4?
What years is that happening?
Will we still have TVs?
I honestly have no idea.
The first one, or the Avatar 2 was supposed to come out, I think, 2018 or 2019, and then every
year after that. And obviously now we're getting it, uh, 22 and then theoretically every year after that.
So they're working on all of them kind of at one time. Yeah. He's trying, he's trying to do the,
the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings thing. Oh. Yeah. Wow. That's why all those actors are just
tapped out. We don't see. Yeah. Are you guys, are you guys looking for like always, it's always fun to
talk about Avatar when it gets brought up? Are you guys looking forward to it when it comes out?
I loved Avatar so much.
I understand the problems with it in the shortcomings, but I'm an Alice in Wonderland
kid.
So if you take me to a magical realm, I will die happy in that realm.
And that's what happened in Avatar.
So I am so excited about any avatar that could come into my life moving forward personally.
I'm so curious.
Like I'm very curious about it.
And, you know, obviously, like, it's part of our job.
probably I'll see it.
But I'm,
I can't wait for that first trailer to drop to see what people's reactions.
Yes.
Because it's been over a decade now.
Like,
it's insane.
And it'll be like probably another two years before we get a trailer.
It seems like I don't know what it's happening.
The movie will come out,
then we'll get a trailer.
Yeah,
the movie will come out,
then we'll get a trailer.
There's going to be an entire generation that hadn't seen it.
Because the Gen X or whatever is under us
doesn't really see anything that didn't come out in their time.
It's just a way that I've noticed that they view things.
They'll be so hot.
They'll be like, what's Avatar?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
They're going to be like, oh, there's a sequel to what?
What?
No, this movie came on in 2009.
What am I a boomer?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and then with, I think, Avatar Studios, I believe, at Nickelodeon, or at Paramount Plus.
Yes.
Like, I think Generation X will be more associating Avatar with Last Airbender stuff.
Yes.
Hopefully they don't catch the live action version because Wolf.
Big Wolf Dog.
That's a worst.
Oh, my gosh.
That's, it's so bad.
Michael Retting is donated $20.
Thank you, Michael.
Brett's doing amazing hosting today.
Right?
It's effortless.
Like, he doesn't even need to be here.
Yeah, you thought he was hosting April Fools.
We got you guys. We got you.
Back to a bound!
The downside of the independent woman is that she don't need you.
She even more attractive.
Wait, can we reread that somehow?
Black Hawk says the downside of the independent woman is actually...
Black Hawk donated $20.
The downside of the independent woman is that she don't need you.
She even more attractive.
I believe James Cameron said that.
Yes.
Yes, he did. And that is so true. I know that's right. We don't need you, but if we want you, you're welcome.
Oh, James. Didn't he come out and be like when Wonder Woman came out? Didn't he like badmouthed Wonder Woman or something like that? Like he was like, oh, Sarah Connor's like the real Wonder Woman. It was like, dude, what? What's going on here?
You mad, bro? Right? I don't know.
40 years since a Wonder Woman.
Like, what are we talking about?
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
How do we feel about the box office war is going on?
Like, that Avatar got the re-release and is now back to being the most successful movie in theaters.
Disney just stays winning all the time.
Yeah, that's like straight up devil work.
You know, like that's cutting the corners and be like, how do we?
make this work. But I can't, I always say this, I'm not going to knock the hustle. If you can get around
without like murdering someone, do you, I guess. Right. Like, the greatest trick the devil ever
pulled was putting Mickey ears in front of their evil, evil corporation. I'm a, I'm a big fan of
Disneyland, but I know, I know the kind of company Disney is. But yeah, just like when people, because I went and saw
Avengers Endgame when they brought dropped the new scene which was an un like unregistered
Hulk CGI that was so bad like oh my god we waited through three hours of movie and the
credits for this yeah everyone like buckle up just waiting for some scene and the Hulk
yeah that was it was so I wish I could show but we definitely get copyright strike
but it was like this PlayStation 2 Hulk
jumping out of a building and then answering his phone and walking off screen
I was like what?
Like I love end games so I wasn't mad about seeing it again
but I was like I waited through 20 minutes of credits for that
Yeah straight up straight up it was a ballbust to save the least
But you were going to rewatch the movie anyways
I was for sure that movie's great like in it like I think you know the
the anniversary like people have been resharing you know the the captain america milnear moment and that
that moment is tier one theater moments like because i went to a two a m imax so everyone was
like leaving the bars and going into iMac so my whole whole experience was just like everything
when they go back to new york every single moment was cheering but that was the first noise i made
and it was involuntary like i was like okay this is great this is great
I screamed when that happened.
It was amazing.
I'll never forget it.
That, yeah, go ahead, Alex.
Oh, no, I was going to say, I had a similar experience to that.
But yesterday, when I watched Godzilla versus Kong, I watched it here at home, but I was still, like, cheering and stuff.
My parents are like, calm down.
I was like, my God, this would have been so amazing.
Yeah, do we want to do a non-s spoiler for Godzilla versus Kong?
Oh, yeah, we can talk.
Has everyone seen it?
Yeah.
We've all seen it, but I think we do have an update from Dwayne.
We're having trouble getting Brett back.
So I think, Dwayne, do you want to tell us what we're going to do to get them back?
Yeah, so I'm going to do a quick 30 second break.
I'm going to throw the will be live soon screen back on.
You should only lose us for the time it takes everyone to get into the new Zoom.
As soon as everyone's in the new Zoom, we'll be back.
The stream's not going to go down.
No one has to go anywhere.
just stay right where you're at
and we'll be back in about 30 seconds
Don't go anywhere
Heck genius
Or is this an April
April Fool's joke bro
Wait and find out
Not clickbait
Alright guys we'll be back
What a joy
Some days is just great to just be alive
We're back
Okay
Hey guys we're back
We're back
So my goal today of not crying, we failed on that one.
So yeah, we're going to keep going.
I must have been missing some stuff here because I saw a lot of, I was got to watch the chat.
It was pretty, pretty fun.
Where are we at?
Gang?
We just talked about knives out and how much we missed you and how the thought of you crying makes us all want to crucify ourselves public.
Oh, guys, I still have five codes left.
Schmoe bought in a six-digit code with no zeros, one through nine, Schmobot in.
Five more chances to win $25,000 of Bitcoin.
And I totally didn't burn through all 10 of mine while I was waiting to get back in.
And I got free K-so.
Nice! Let's go!
Yes, cheese.
I love the website, though.
It's so like 1980.
nine. It's like, you know, basic, you know, raw code error. That was fun, guys. That was really fun. So knives out. Yeah, I love the first one. That's about all I have to say about that. I'd like to see more. Sure. I don't know. I like to see it. I'm not rattled at all, folks.
So I'm not rattle. I'm not rattle.
Like, when's the first time you're going to go back to theaters? Because, you know, like Netflix, I think they'll probably, you know, do a co-release with this. Godzilla versus Kong is like, you know, kind of the first big movie.
movie that's getting released back into theaters along with nobody that's another one that
I want to watch as well so when are you going to feel safe to go back to theaters um well I think
um I don't know it's tough because I was feeling like I was going to this Friday I get my
second dose um you know so then I can become a vaxole as they call them somebody who's been
vaccinated and talks about it that's the new term I learned when I looked up uh snatched or something
like that. Is vaccine the new CrossFit?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And if anybody
wanders, it was because with working at the
gallery, I'm around, you know, they
reopen, so with the general
public, so I fit into that category
and that's how I got
my vaccine. But I
was like... Mulligan donated $20.
Hi, Brett.
Thank you, squirt alert.
Thank you, Squirt alert.
Duane, let me, can you allow me to share my screen
so I can just show people what I'm talking about?
Oh yeah, let's do this.
So yeah, I thought I was going to be ready then.
But now that I hear there's a fourth wave coming, I don't know.
Look at this, five chances left.
Oh, we can see.
So look, guys, it's literally just like an old-timey keypad where you enter in six numbers
and you have the possibility of winning free queso, a free burrito, or Bitcoin.
And I've got five chances.
Tori X-Ros donated $50.
You're doing great Brett.

Yeah.
I didn't even think of it.
Brett, Brett, set.
One, two, three, four, five.
Are we sure about that site?
Um, it looked like the same one that I probably got.

Eat Chipotle.
Eat this Chipotle that's been on the counter for five minutes.
These tomatoes have poop on it.
Go ahead.
Try to break into my bank account.
You'll be sorely disappointed. That's all I'll say. You know, so if they got my info,
eh, jokes on you. I had somebody once and I figured it out that tried to use my debit to get
prostitute in Amsterdam. That's how they located where it was and I could see what it was from.
And that was pretty fun. Black Hawk donated $20.

just saying
yesterday
oh I'm sold
so old
so where are we at
is it Thursday?
Oh my God
I know
yeah
I thought I was hosting
yesterday
but then it was today
and then I was like
am I hosting today
after I tried to
restart my computer
Ben will you take a thirst
trap for a thousand dollars
you don't
You have to coach me.
Okay.
What is that?
Do you have to do like the on the bed one with my butt sticking out?
Yeah, I want cheeks that I can graph.
Ben, what I need you to do, I need to go to Instagram and search The Pose.
That's what you're going on.
Here, I'll do it on the desktop so people can see.
Okay.
Great.
Yeah.
Everyone get thirsty.
And in April pool, so if you send something like a thirsty,
message you can be like April pulls if you feel like an idiot after.
Is it, is it a tag or is it a like a like a hashtag?
Yeah.
It's a hashtag.
Okay.
Yep.
Suppose.
As long as you said like felt cute might delete later also with it, you know,
hashtag blast, you know.
Oh, okay.
So it's basically for foot people.
Yeah.
It's so you can get the face and the feet at the same time.
I just learned about that.
The face and the feet and the butt like that's that's skill right there.
That's a triple threat.
Right?
I mean, people giving that away for free?
I know.
That's why I can't put me.
Couldn't be me.
It couldn't be you because I agree, Ben.
If you're going to give feet picks, I need you to be paid.
Right.
Yeah.
Give him the mullah for feetpicks.
But he will drop a thirst trap.
You've seen his silver's outy hair.
I want to see it.
I'd like to see.
I have never had this much feet on my computer at one time.
Liar!
How long of a sentence can you string together with like new terms that I'm just learning?
Because you just like, you drop the zaddy, whatever.
Let's see how you can like really just mind blow me.
Maybe even throw in one I don't know.
This silver zaddy was watching me throw ass.
And then we went home and he broke my back.
And then we, um, okay.
And until further notice, let me.
Okay.
I like it. I like it.
Throw in some schmobots with your favorite.
I went straight to the end.
That's the problem.
Yeah, there was like no.
I went to pro play back in 30 seconds.
You don't do that.
You don't do that.
You got to eat into backbreaking points.
Take my word for it.
Especially when you get up in age like me.
If you don't want to act,
because you'll actually break your back.
You'll actually break your back.
So Chipotle, you're still not getting that scrella,
that Bitcoin.
And I got four
chances left
I got four chances left
All money's fake anyway
Um
Oh my god
They'll just reprint more
You guys will never
If I win this 25 grand
You guys will never fucking see me again
Right
I've got my match against JTE
And that's the last time
Oh my God
I'll be the dumbest
25 grand to just lose everything
like as if 25 grand is a million.
Right.
It feels like it and it's not,
it feels like it right like a...
Hey, I got my stimulus debit card, I'm ready to fuck shit up.
Two men broke into a drugstore and stole all the Viagra.
The police put out an alert to be on the lookout for the two hardened criminals.
523,698.
Oh, there come.
523,698.
That's from Kyle Varnedora.
Thank you, Kyle.
Thank you very much.
Uh-oh.
What?
Just kidding.
Not you, fuckers.
April fools.
That's good.
That's good.
Oh, too.
So, Alex.
Thank you for that, Kyle.
Thank you for that donation, though.
What did I miss during my freakout session?
We talked nothing controversial, Army Hammer.
We also talked about Godzilla versus Kong a bit.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, did we want to do a non-spoiler?
Brett, have you seen it yet?
No, no. I asked my wife, but she was like, no.
Like, like, me and my roommate started watching it.
It was an hour into it, and he was like, I'm going to bed.
And so he went to bed and I finished it in my room.
It's so fun.
I would have fun with it.
I don't think she had the love of the, you know, the OG Godzilla films like I did.
You know, again, like with Transformers, I, you know, I just need to see someone go, Godzilla.
And that's the movies made for me.
And Godzilla, yeah, and this one, a crowd of people doing this, and then, you know, just some fighting, and I'm happy.
So I don't, I don't, you know.
Mark underscore Fernandez donated $20.
I just made a fortune in Bitcoin.
I just bought Sen from Christian and you're all fired.
Okay.
Thank you.
Even me, Mark?
What the heck?
Why would you do that?
In God's tarnation.
Just a reminder.
In God's tarnation.
We can't see who sends you.
those in.
Yeah.
Just so you guys know.
Who?
Oh, like the real names?
Yeah, we can see the real names.
Yeah.
So if you guys want to be assholes, we do know who you are.
Oh, yeah.
Real quick.
Tiffany F.
Did you guys see the Zola trailer and have you read the Twitter thread?
I haven't read the Twitter thread.
I've seen the trailer and I know the story.
Steph, you have to read it.
Can you send it to me?
If we reach $1,000, we will plan out a live reading of the Twitter thread.
I love it.
I love it.
Let's do it.
Yes.
Did you hit on the Zola trailer or no?
No, I just thought to it.
I forgot about it.
Yeah.
The trailer looks so good.
I like, I tweeted out.
I never thought that this sentence would happen where I didn't think the movie could live up to a Twitter thread.
But that's a real sentence that I said.
But the Twitter threat is legitimately.
one of the most compelling stories you've ever read.
Wow.
And it's so crazy.
It's so intense.
I, like, who's, who's directing Zola?
Oh, yeah, who is?
That's an up-and-coming director, and I have it right here, and her name is Janixza Bravo.
Genica, Bravo.
Okay.
Because if it wasn't her, I swear this could be like a Safty Brothers movie.
Because this has major uncut gems and good time vibes to it.
Yes.
So I am looking forward to it, but I also know that I'm going to have to like zen out before because this movie is just anxiety inducing to the nth degree.
Yeah.
And if you please, guys, please donate because I think doing a Twitter thread library would be so much fun.
I really want to do that.
Yeah, this is why I say Twitter is by far the best app, period.
in no way have any other app compared to making moves in the industry and entertainment the way Twitter has.
You know, with the release the Snyder cut to now an entire movie is being based off a Twitter thread.
The power of Twitter.
And I'm so glad because Twitter is by, I know it's toxic, but to me, the least toxic out of all of them in a lot of ways and also allows for the most creativity.
Oh, yeah.
The Twitter thread is super long because that was when it was just 140.
characters, not what is it, like
200 something now? Yeah.
So yeah, it was like, it's a lot.
It's a lot. It's a long
thing. You can find it rolled out
where you can just read the entire thing and go.
Yeah, yeah, because you know, I don't, because
yeah, just search Zola and people have been like
posting the full like
like it's from, they put it on Reddit.
And it's just like a screen cap of like all the
tweets right in a row.
It's weird because I read the article for this
and I didn't know that it came from Twitter
3. No, I watched the
trailer, I didn't read anything. So this is a movie
based on a Twitter
thread. You're saying. Telling the story.
That is insane. That is insane. And it's
not truthful or based on a truth?
She said it's based on a true story.
If she made it up,
this woman is a poet.
Tiffany donated $20.
I have to donate for that live read.
Come on. I need someone to say that
blank is lost in the source and that puppy is
lost in the game. I don't know
what the real words are that?
Yes.
Yes.
I want to do the live briefs so bad.
But yeah, I think so Zola
is the black female
character in the movie, right? And then the white
character, Stefani or Stephanie.
Yeah, Stephanie.
And is the girl
who, the woman who did release
a Twitter threat about it involved in the
making of this film?
I hope. They better be cutting her a check
though, if not.
So she, she's,
sold the rights to the movie, yeah.
I hope she didn't get screwed over because she's newer in the industry.
I hope she's getting...
MKK just added me on, like, added everybody on Twitter that has the full, the full thing.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
I read it when it was live.
Oh, yeah.
I was there.
Like, I posted that, that meme the other day.
It was like, Elrond was like, I was there 3,000 years ago.
Like, I remember seeing it happening.
And I was like, this.
like it took the world by storm people were just like
because I think she took like a day break or something like that
after like the climax of the story
and then came back and saw that it was like you know crazy viral
and she's like okay I'll give you more like so there was like a break in between
but yeah it was dude holy shit
we actually premiered last year at Sundance and it was supposed to come out last summer
unfortunately we didn't get that but I'm
super excited for this. I love anxiety-inducing movies, and this is right up my alley.
I'm generally up so up for this.
What we need for this library.
The live tweet movie.
Yeah.
The live read needs to have Steph reading it to Christian, Brett, and Roca.
Yes, absolutely.
That would be amazing.
Gather around, children.
Get around.
Classic American tale that is Zola.
This involves the Poussay.
Please sit down.
Yeah, I like this.
At first I was like, and I didn't, I don't know about you, but I didn't like a spring break.
It gave me a spring break vibe.
That one to me was just so like, just, oh God, just hearing spring break, spring break.
Yeah.
I just like, oh, I would have choke you through the screen.
Spring break gave you a spring break vibe.
Yeah, oh, it was so.
Like, I agree.
I didn't like spring breakers, like at all.
Yeah.
I didn't think that.
was a good movie, but that was just a funny sentence.
Brim, right.
Brime, right.
That one just, yeah, did not like it.
But this one, yes, looks interesting.
Now that I know that it's based on a thread and a story,
even more excited about it.
Never has the Bill Hader gift to, well, color me,
scared and horny, been more than this movie.
Like?
Yes.
Yeah, I think the movie could do like, and just,
I know it's mainly to be like a thriller and probably funny in some parts,
but it could shine a serious light on, you know, the bat pimps that really,
really take advantage of women and do like disgusting things to their families,
their friends and get women to induce other women or seduce other women to come
with them under the guise of payment and independence and all of these things.
But actually they're getting played into what is human trafficking.
in a lot of senses.
So I think...
Ryan Not Jocin donated $20.
Love the idea of same cast, but different characters.
In KK2, Don Johnson
plays a transgender character in Free a War Vette
with a weed addiction heart of gold
and a parrot called Brett.
What movie is that?
He was pitching knives out.
Oh, okay.
Oh, I like it. I like it. I like it.
A weed addiction.
A weed? Oh, you're addicted to the weed?
Also, I googled Zola and a...
It's a wedding registry.
So I might have the wrong.
The wrong Zola.
Brett, someone added you,
go on your Twitter.
For the love of God,
go on your fucking Twitter.
And it's right there waiting for you.
You know how happy I would be
if just whenever you have your random Brett thoughts,
which I know have to be 5,000 times a day.
You just tweeted them.
Let us in.
I'm knocking at the gate to play.
Just put us on a group text and just let us in.
Just the ones.
that I've written and I've saved the drafts.
Yes.
Release the Brett tweets.
Release them.
I need my drafts all the time.
It's therapeutic.
Yeah, my drafts are lit.
Every schmobot, Brett reveals one of his drafts.
Yeah.
No, but for real, I want to do the live read.
I like it.
Okay, I've got it.
I'm going to get there at some point.
So now, I'm going to say, okay, perfect.
All right, Alex, oh, man, it's been an exciting show so far.
Play the music.
I don't even know where we're at.
Do we know where we're at?
I don't know where we're at either.
Oh, hey, look at that.
We can get to at least our bare minimum goal today.
And that's all, that's all I expect.
Has this been the train wreck you wanted?
Yes, it has.
And that's why people ask for Brett to host,
because they wanted to be completely off the rails.
And did you expect the twist where I couldn't sign back into the Zoom?
Oh, I bet you didn't see that coming.
Neither did Dwayne or anyone else on the panel.
So, Alex, hit us.
Should we do some stream labs from yesterday?
Should we?
Yeah, it's up to you.
You're the host.
Do you want to do another story?
Do you want to get to stream labs?
We can do them from yesterday.
Totally up to you, Brett.
You hit all the stories.
We did so.
I know.
I know, I don't want to, I got to see a trailer for this USPS, uh,
I know people are chomping at the bed on this one.
I, if this release date gets pushed and pushed and pushed,
I'm going to say, come on, people, don't.
Release.
Are you, are you, are you happy with the decisions you've made in life, Brad?
I just, I just yesterday, I'm like, Alex.
Please, just for the sake of me reading the article,
can we please talk about the post office spy thriller?
Please, it's killing me that you just keep putting it on the list, putting it on the list.
Wait, is that a real thing?
Yes.
Oh, God, I thought you were fucking.
No, no, it's a real film, and I tell you what, I need it right now.
So, folks, tell us how excited you are?
about this film.
And Alex, let's just, yeah, let's get to some
questions.
Okay, let's do it from, uh, let's do it from yesterday
because there was a few.
Uh, Pussy O'Connell says,
Hello, everyone.
Hope y'all are doing well and hope you all have had or will be happy.
Tori X Rose donated $20.
This episode will one day be made into a film called Brett.
That Zoom failed login plot twist.
Astounding.
It's like a bunch of just like circling,
shots of Brett.
I was going to delete the app and then try it that way.
I was signing it different.
Folks, I was doing everything.
I'm beginning to think, and I'm going to go on a limb here,
I'm beginning to think that running my computer off an external solid state drive is not
the best option for my computer, that possibly buying a new one might be something that I should
do.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
I'll keep you posted on that one.
April fools.
Not going to happen.
Still going to try it this way.
Alex, hit me with a stream lab or whatever.
Pussy O'Connell.
Anyways, let's get serious just a bit.
Question, what is the films slash films that inspired all of you to do what you're doing right now
slash you all pursued or currently pursuing?
Thanks.
Hmm.
Let's start with Dwayne.
Yeah.
The man behind the scenes.
I don't have a specific film, but I have a person.
And I think people know very well that my hero in the industry is Roger Deacons.
I care very little about directors or actors when they're announced attached to a project.
But if I hear his name attached to a project, I will watch it full stop anytime.
It instantly gets me interested.
I think he is the goat as far as cinematography is concerned and anyone can kind of put together.
That's where like I focus is the cameras, the lighting, stuff like that.
So Roger Deakins is who inspired me.
Yeah, he's amazing.
And he seems like a guy like me and Alex, when we saw in 1917, it was a, totally awake.
Alex was completely awake, never, never nodded off it ever.
but um uh rod jiggins and san mendes spoke afterwards and he just seems like then the coolest guy
like and it's one of the few people i've like been legitimately starstruck by uh is roger deacons
he seems like the the coolest dude too i just want to get a beer with him anyone else i think i had
i yeah what about you what about you for for acting bret like anybody was my i mean like
just watching that i i my mom admittedly probably had
me watching that a little too young, but
I, I, I, I'm, it's just, you know, John Belushi.
I mean, it was, I, I, I, I, he just, just his energy in the blues brothers and, you know,
just like all that just, uh, uh, really, really enjoyed that. And then that kind of
went into the, the, the Jack Blacks of the world and stuff like that. And I always feel like,
uh, uh, uh, Zach Alfanakis and Jack Black could have been my trajectory if I may have been a little
are focused like but uh yeah i i there's still hope there's still hope yeah it was s andl and i uh
i still watch you this day i know a lot of people you know say that the episodes aren't as you know
good and it's not been but they it's hit and miss and uh i still have fun with it but yeah that's
that would have been my acting uh uh path is what i would have loved to have been a cast member
step do you have one well s and l's definitely up there with me all that um like any sort of comedy
and then things that spurred out of S&L, Austin Powers,
all of those characters, Mike Myers and Gilda Radner,
you know, Kristen Wig, Maya Rudolph,
all of those people really, like, shape the way that I view the industry
and, like, what are the boundaries of creativity,
which is nothing, you can do whatever you want, basically,
especially if you have, like, a good heart behind it.
And, but then in terms of shows actually really inspire me
when there's people like Issa Rae and like the Broad City girls at the helm of it who like create right and act in it.
That is like the peak, you know, the Lin-Manuel Miranda types where you're just like you are the shit.
You're so inspiring to watch and I love those types of creators.
Broad City was at my test.
My sister.
Come on, people.
Keep your mind out of the better.
My sister introduced us to that one.
and she's a you know my sister lives in new york and it was just i totally love the vibe of that show
and just put yeah pushing boundaries and yeah just that would oh i love broad city yeah ben what
who are your influences uh i don't know it's that's tough uh because like i really figured out
what i wanted to do like you know five years ago um i just yeah i i i really don't have a good
answer for you guys, so I'm sorry.
Failure. Yeah.
Failure. Way to go. He does.
April Fools. Yeah. It does.
Have you been a cinephile your whole life, though?
Because you know so much about the industry and films and TV.
I don't, I don't know. Like, cinema files like that, that weird.
It's like a, it's like, it's like mixologists for bartenders. Like, I don't know, like if people
actually call themselves cinefiles or mixologists. Like, it's just like, you like movies.
but yeah I've always like movies like I've always
it's you know playing in the shmodeon I've always like remember
details about movies more than the fucking Pythagorean theorem that you know
super helpful in life guys make sure you remember
yeah yeah see I was gonna say Y equals MX plus B
I don't know which one that is but you know
instead of figuring out how to bounce your checkbook or do taxes
remember that kids the history of Mesopotamia
yeah remember guys you're never going to have
have a calculator in your back pocket. Remember, you're never going to have a calculator in your
back pocket. You need to remember these formulas. But no, I just, I just always like movies and, you know,
like seeing, you know, like, like Collider and Schmo's and screen doing and stuff like that,
like finding that career. Like, I wish I'd gotten into like Comic Con and stuff like that earlier.
So, you know, I could have done something in college, like, you know, learn how to Photoshop,
learn how to edit, like stuff like that. To just to have those kinds of.
of skills but I'm here now so I'm happy about it there you go and Alex what like
French director did you what inspired you what foreign swath for amazing director I know
but like hot fuzz and Sean of the Dead those are like those I saw those at a
perfect time in my life and so like Edgar Wright's work and Simon Pegg also
so I'm peck my favorite actor they are my that was like huge inspirations for me
also Dark Night as well.
But also
Lin-Manuel Miranda
and something I saw recently
was called Stuffed. It was a South by Southwest short.
It's a short musical.
Town punch fart box donated $20.
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
713,627.
Period.
Midocondria.
627.
Yep.
Remember your biology.
Nope, nothing again, y'all.
Alex, finish up your story, and I'll tell you my favorite thing I learned in science and by...
Two chances left, guys. Two chances left.
The short is called Stuffed. It's a short musical, and it's about a taxidermist who dreams of stuffing a human.
And it's told in musical form, and it's hilarious. It's super funny.
It's, the imagery is great. It's only 20 minutes.
It's not released yet for the public, but when it does...
I'm sure I will share it with all of you because it is super inspiring.
It's like it's inspiring me to like I just got to do this shit on my own.
No one's getting me giving me rules or no one's writing music for giving me good music.
So I'll do it myself.
So I think that is that is a huge thing.
And I's, you know, that's the if I could go back.
What happened to me is like the whole thing changed when I moved to Los Angeles.
As soon as I got to Los Angeles is when like reality TV started to get.
big and commercials
weren't making as much money because
there was more, you know, it's like, so you
could, like, in the 80s,
they said if you got one commercial, you bought a car,
if you got two, you got a house.
I mean, that's how good book and commercials
were back then. But like, I got
in when it was like, then there's all the different
network, the cable networks and things
like that. And I had somebody,
now this is, listen to people that give
you advice that are doing this. I knew
people that were doing YouTube
before it was big.
And we're doing, like, for instance, the Guild.
I mean, that was the first, like, huge, huge web series out there, I'm pretty sure.
And, you know, there were people like, hey, Brett, you should do, like, a dad vlog kind of a thing with your son and, like, tips because nobody was doing that.
And I, you know, 13, 14 years later, I saw all these things, these blowing up and they're getting sponsors and things like that.
So listen to people that give you good advice, I guess is the big thing.
and you got to learn to redirect.
Like, when I did the Schmow's, no, I had nothing, you know, I told Christian, he sent me emails, like, check out the Schmels reviews.
I'm like, dude, I don't watch movies.
I love you, but I'm not going to watch, you review a movie.
I'm not going to see.
I don't have time for movies.
And I didn't even know about this whole world.
I just came into a studio one day, and he goes, here, Brett, just sit down.
I'm like, what's this all about?
And just, there we have it.
Now I'm here.
I will say, Brett, I'm glad you're not a family.
I fucking hate all those people.
Oh, God. I hate it, too.
I'd like the money.
That's the big thing.
Not going to lie to you.
I can't stand the Instagram posts that are like,
do you get a thousand words on Instagram for underneath?
I don't know how you unwind.
I don't know how you unwind in the summer,
but we like to go to Belize as a family.
Fuck off.
You know?
Yeah, you got your free trip to Belize.
I know things have been really hard with COVID lately,
So we just thought we'd get out and just go to Hawaii and buy Maui.
And we're completely isolated because we bought the whole island and no one else can come here.
And we've kicked out all the native Hawaiians.
I told my daughter she could live Moana.
Yeah.
So we kicked out all the native people.
We rented Maui Corvallo and she has to perform her song every day on the hour.
And you know, we're living in that.
simple life. You know, we went back to basics.
Yeah, back to basics.
How do you unwind?
I'm fucking Maui. Don't be jealous. Back to basic.
What could I say? You're welcome.
Make sure you buy this soap.
Alex, what else have we got?
I just refresh the stream labs, and there's a lot from today, so I'm going to get to today's
first, if that's all right. Let's do it.
Okay, Jordan McIntyre says, Animal Fight Scenario.
Ten emperor penguins versus 200 guinea pigs.
Time of year, white boy summer, beach terrain, California coast,
76% humidity, clouds clearing Bobby Gucci in attendance.
Who wins?
Bobby Gucci, I think, would.
I was going to say, I think all 202 animals turn and attack Bobby Gucci.
Animals can sense evil, and they will unite against the common enemy.
and Bobby Gucci will be no more.
Wait, so it's Bobby Gucci,
200 guinea pigs,
and 10 emperor penguins.
And emperor penguins.
Yeah.
I'm taking the guinea pigs.
Yeah, same.
What?
I'm taking the penguins, bro.
Hear me out.
Hear me out.
First of all, penguins don't give a fuck.
They are chilling and they are diving in the water.
Small things in large numbers can just start,
crawling on you and attack you and cover your eyes like take away all your senses so i'm for sure
going guinea pigs guinea pigs like have spent the whole life on the ground and i think that they
would have some vengeance yeah i think i was what alex was saying i think the humidity the beach
climate that's going to hurt the penguins um definitely i'm going to go i'm going to go guinea pigs
i'm going to go guinea pigs um i picture what you're talking about step is like we've ever seen
those videos where a bunch of ants just engulfed something and just destroy it, that's what
these little guinea pigs would do. Alex, why are you saying it like that? Because I just,
I love it. I love the sound of the flesh of the, no, come on. Alex, read another questions.
Get me out of this guinea pig fight hole that we're in. All right, let's feel that fight hole
of dildo baggins. Hey, peeps, have y'all seen the film Ammonite starring Kate Winslet?
and Sirsher Ronan.
I thought it was okay, but the lesbian sex scene between the two was good.
I've seen other Winslet sex scenes before, but this one hits different.
I don't know why.
Brett, thoughts, thanks.
Alex has never walked into a stream live.
He was not ready to read like that before.
Alex, the true cinephile of Alex came out right there.
Hey, have you guys seen this film with Sersher Ronan and Kate Winslet?
The sex scene from the lesbian.
It was good.
That was the best part.
Is it?
So it was good.
It was good.
Was that Roger Ebert that Schmovotted that?
The sex scene was decent.
I didn't get wet or anything, but it was a good watch.
That's Roger Ebert.
I've been edging lately, so this helped a lot.
I do got to say this sexine is pretty graphic.
Well, not, you don't see anything, but they're, you know, they're just, they're chowing down.
I, you can't help.
Alex.
I'm blushing.
So, Portrait of a Lady on Fire
is, to me, a perfect movie.
Yes.
Like, and so you can't help,
but...
What are you chowing down, Ben?
Don't say that.
Alex, would you say
someone's back got broken?
Yeah.
Hey!
Oh, scissors me timbers.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, what you were comparing sex scenes, Alex?
Well, Portrait of a Blade on Fire, uh, it's a perfect movie to me.
Um, and so you can't help but compare it to that.
And so, uh, it's, um, no other reason.
Just the fact that it's a perfect movie.
Third lesbians.
Yeah.
Well, it's like, you know, a forbidden love in the 1800s.
Oh.
Different circumstances, of course.
But it's like, I don't know, it's just not as well done.
It's not, it's not as intimate as.
portrait is. So, I don't know. Yeah.
Wasn't a fan of it.
Right. What'd you think of it?
I thought it was amazing. No, I thought, I thought it was good. Just like that, just like
whoever said in the question. Has forbidden love ever stopped you from chowing down?
Send in your stream labs right now, let us know.
Favorite sex scenes from a movie. Um, mine was the, uh, double Corey Charles in Charge
Chick flick. I used to
call it.
You know that one?
It was Corey Feldman,
Corey Hayne,
and I don't know,
the gal from
Charles in charge. No anyone? Help me out here
in the chat. You know what I'm talking about.
I'm sorry, I'm too busy chowling down.
This was a pretty, pretty amazing.
Steph, don't talk with your mouthful.
Yeah, yeah, sorry, my bad.
Next question now.
Oh boy. Okay.
inappropriate gay dude happy thursday y'all where's my boo-thang roka step you walk in beauty like the night
of cloudless climbs and starry skies and all that's best of dark and bright meat in your aspect and in your eyes
wow it's a lot to wrap my head around but it sounds stunning thank you for seeing me like that
starry night inappropriate gay dude also says what do you guys think the landscape of you
YouTube will look like post-pandemic.
For instance, do you think a large number of the channels that popped up over the past year
will either reduce their content or stop altogether?
Hi, Brett.
I think a lot of big celebrity ones that have started streaming on Twitch and stuff like that.
I think that'll fall off.
But, I mean, I think they've also seen that it's another form of revenue that they can use.
So I don't see them disappearing, but definitely less than what they are now.
I think less, yeah, it's one of the only things that they can privatize is their own.
other people managing it.
I mean, I'm sure they have their team on it, but that's their team.
I was thinking, though, I do think there will be a deep decline in TikTok because
out of all the apps, that is the most time-consuming app ever, whereas Instagram, you're
posting videos, you're some, I mean, pictures, you're sometimes posting videos.
TikToks, like, actually requires time and thought into it.
And there's just no way, like, unless all these people don't have jobs anymore, like,
forever moving forward, that this can be sustained with this many creators on TikTok all the
time every single day.
And please figure out how to block it so children can't see certain things on TikTok.
Could you maybe make that a thing?
Because sometimes parents just have, you know, have their kids do something and they don't
really know much about it.
And then they found out later that they can be exposed to a lot of things.
Like chowing down.
Yeah, like chowing down.
And the movie was blown away, speaking of chowing down.
Blown Away.
In Boy, Egart.
Corey Feldman, Corey Haim.
Blown away.
What's the next question, Alex?
69, Shades of Geeks.
Since today is April Fool's Day, I can literally say anything,
and you might not believe me.
So today, instead of telling jokes that may or may not be real,
I'm just going to stream lab real stories from my life,
and I'll let you decide if they're a prank or not.
Oh, okay.
Thank you for that, 69.
We will get to those later once they pop up here in order.
Hitman Hudson says,
So my sister got engaged.
Yikes.
The guy's name is Chet, and I didn't even know they were dating.
They've only, they've been dating for just eight months.
He's 25 and a professional weed connoisseur.
Also, from the bottom of my heart, April fools.
Oh, my God.
I was going to say, there's too much lining up in this story that his name is Chet,
and he's a professional guy like, there's too much here.
He sounds real excited for a white connoisseur.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I don't know.
Was it Chet Hanks?
There's a wild.
Internet gone mad again today.
That guy.
He's so out of control.
Shadow Dragon production says,
I've gathered a beloved sin.
Gentle lies and so much sadness that I cannot sleep.
And I whisper a prayer in this illusory dream
where my wings have been stolen.
Please give me even the slightest.
I've loved my beloved,
I've lost my beloved moon,
the gentle rain and the whisper that lets me sleep.
The birds that I have forgotten, how does fly sing of transience and pain?
Okay.
420 Shades of Geeks says,
Speaking of April Fool's, I had a friend in the army,
was set to discharge from the Army on April 1st,
so we made up this joke that she's not really getting discharged,
but rather she's going to serve an extra year.
That's very mean.
Yeah, I bet that's not funny at all.
Yeah.
I didn't hear it.
Oh, is that at April Fool's joke or not?
Oh.
I don't know.
I don't like it, though.
Six Six Sixth Sixth, Shades of Geek says, my, me, my mom, my dad, my brother, and my sister all have different last names.
Hmm.
Okay.
That could be...
I'm like in April Falls.
Mom, dad.
That could be no.
Oh, no.
That can.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Can we use the Pythagrum theorem to figure this one out?
Yeah, we can.
If not, then it's toast.
Go ahead.
666 Shades of Geek.
I almost died once in a game of.
of hide and seek while running back to home base to get to final to get the final two people
i haven't found yet the people i did get tried to stop me from getting there forcing me to
climb something and jump to avoid them and fall on my head i i could believe that one that one
sounds believable yeah i'll ship it did you guys ever play fugitive was that a thing for you guys
no i was playing organ trail fugitive is a i think it was like end of high school thing for me
Did you ever make you?
It was basically like you have to like run away but like you
Someone in the group has to find you but then you use the whole city like use blocks around you so you're
Literally going into other people's backyards and like hiding in people's bushes and stuff
I never actually played it but I remember that was a huge thing and I played it all the time
So it's basically tag but there's a team versus one person
Oh, okay
That one person, you set your limit and you can hide anywhere in that area and they're just looking for you.
And then if you're fast enough and they find you and you can run away, great.
If you get caught, you get caught.
And it's game over.
I think there was something going on that was based on a movie, I think, where it was like you were teams were trying to kill off the other team somehow.
And I don't know if there was Nerf guns involved or something like that.
But that was a game.
We used to play. But I also used to play Rambo, where we would climb up trees with our big knives and do stupid shit.
Oh, my God. Oh, and then it was like, Rambo would, you could eat things and make a billy goat puke. And so we dared somebody to drink some puddle water.
Oh, my gosh, just disgusting. I thought you were going to say massacre police stations, but okay.
Say what?
What's that? I missed. I thought he was going to say they'd just massacre the police.
police station. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah, that we didn't get that far in it.
Playing Rambo. Gosh, that was basically what I was doing with my brother. We would go out and paintball.
We had a canyon like down the street, except my brother one time and the last time that I ever did
this loaded his paintball gun and his friend's paintball gun with frozen paintballs.
Oh, Jesus. And I did it. And then they were like, one, two, and we're like all hidden. And on two,
they just start blasting
and I just got
fucking annihilated with frozen
paintballs. Oh.
So mean. Yeah, we did BB gun wars
because we were too poor for paintball because that's
an expensive sport to play.
We had those little red rider BB guns.
I had a red rider too.
Yeah, so we like, because I lived out in the
country so we just like go out there and just like
it was a lot like we'd wear, the only
projection we wear it's just like little like safety goggles.
Just like I shot my friend in the mouth.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
I hate to brag, but somebody shot me in the leg with a BB gun when I was riding my bike to school, so that was a good day.
You were going to say, I didn't even feel it.
No, I felt it.
Thank God I had some pretty thick jeans on that day.
Hate to brag.
It was like a bruise this big around.
Pretty bad.
Kids are cool.
Alex?
Haunted says, I don't know if this has been asked for before.
Sorry.
if it has, but since it's a POC only show today,
A, by Brett, L.O.L.
Do you all know how to speak your native languages?
If not, are y'all interested in learning?
Have a good day.
I do know how to speak my native language, somewhat.
I'm not good at spelling it or using sentence structure correctly.
Go ahead.
Other POCs on the panel today.
I don't.
It's super unfortunate.
I should know Arabic and I should know
Japanese, but all my family's immigrants. So when my grandma, my Obachan came here, they met,
my grandpa and her met after World War II. So they had just moved here right after World War
two where Japanese people were still called like rats amongst other awful things. So they didn't
teach any of their kids the language just in order to assimilate as fast and quietly as they could.
And then same with Arabic. Obviously, it's like a highly stigmatized language and like often
stereotyped as terrorists, so we didn't get to, but my family will still speak it amongst each other.
That's too bad. Yeah, it's too bad because that's, that's, I love families that, like, integrate
languages in. Yeah. That's what you're supposed to, kids, that's why we put our kids in a foreign language.
We didn't care what it was. My wife had learned when she was studying to be a teacher that, like,
you just starting a language at an early age, even if you kind of forget it, it opens up a part of your
brain and it's too bad that people you know were scared to do that because of the shitheads of the
world i know yeah i think ben you've already admitted not not not much french really no uh my dad
was fluent in it uh but then once my grandma his mom passed away like he kind of stopped speaking
it and just kind of faded out and same with uh spanish like my mom was was semi fluent in it but then
once her family, like, was gone as well.
So it's like, that's the thing is that you should really teach your kids those things
because they do fade away.
Like it's crazy, like how just like something like that can just not wipe it out,
but just like it not just be present.
So teaching your kids like your native, native tongue for lack of a better word,
is never a bad thing, honestly, like regardless of what language it is or like how
useful it can be in the workplace.
As people like to say, like, it's just part of it.
your history she should always learn it yeah exactly yeah I wish my parents I
wish I had asked my parents to teach me more because my my parents are both from
different islands in the Philippines so they speak different dialects and they
also speak Tagalog which is the main language of the Philippines and so I
heard three different languages going on in my house in addition to English so I had
four so I was kind of unsure which one of the three they were speaking in at
times. But I can pick up words every now and then, but I can't speak it, although I hope to learn
soon. Yeah, that'd be confusing with all the dialects. Yeah. Duway, do you speak English well
like me? I mean, I am fluent in African American vernacular English. I do code switch quite a bit.
As is Brett.
As is Brett.
But, no, I wouldn't say I speak English very well.
Yeah.
I speak well enough to get by.
Yeah, that's, oh, don't get me started at how many times I get corrected.
Alex, we, we, you guys, I, this is a bang-up show today.
We are $100 away from the bare minimum.
what we're supposed to get.
So I am not.
No, not stressing it at all.
Not at all.
Yeah, let's get it.
Now, just, I don't know if we can,
does anybody have anything fun?
Send in something that you fun that you want us to do.
Again, yeah, I kind of was,
I was a little thrown off by getting popped
out of the Zoom meeting.
But yeah, we'll keep banging through these questions.
But if we have anything fun, you want us to do,
I...
Joe's donated $20.
Thank you.
Dwayne, what do you think of Bradford Young
as a cinematographer?
I love what he did with the rival
Also I miss my hometown
So can you please have some white castle
And Chinese food for me please go cards
Oh
I have yet to have White Castle
I had it in Vegas but people said
The in and out in Vegas sucks
So I'm guessing the White Castle sucks too
But I really want to have White Castle
So to answer the first question
I think arrival is beautiful
I don't necessarily like the movie as a whole
But I think it's beautifully shot
and as far as White Castle and Chinese food
I've not found Chinese food anywhere outside of St. Louis
that is good as the Chinese food in St. Louis,
but I'm not in St. Louis currently.
I'm in California,
but the next time I'm there,
I'll happily have some White Castle in Chinese food.
My grandma used to get White Castle for me in Chicago,
and I was so pissed because she would never get it without onions.
And it was like they took and they jammed the onions
into the meat to where you couldn't even pick them off.
Yeah, so they grill it on the onions.
Yeah.
So it just kind of melts into the meat.
Oh my gosh, I'm so hungry.
I'm just going to chow down.
Yeah, I gave up fast food for Lent, and that ends on Sunday.
So I'm looking forward to getting out.
Wait, are you Catholic?
Yeah.
So do you carry the same guilt as me?
Oh, yes, absolutely.
Just making sure.
I was going to say he's.
He's French and Mexican, of course.
Yeah, oh my God.
So trust me, guys, when Steph is throwing that ass back on me, we both feel terrible.
Yeah, we're like, it's not enjoyable at all.
We're like, oh, my gosh.
No, I'm like, it's not fun when you break my back because God is just saying, right?
Are you?
Yeah, Catholic Catholic, Catholicism is a trip, man.
Easter is.
Like one heck of a holiday in general, just like the entire thing of like when you learn about it fully, it's so crazy.
But Lent is so hard to do to give up something for my favorite thing my sister ever said was the whole family was around.
I forget we were having some family get together.
We were like 12.
And they were asking all the cousins, the younger kids, what we were giving up for Lent.
And she was like so quietly and proudly like, I'm giving.
up Lent for Lent.
Remember like going to Catholic school, all of us would be like, I'm giving up homework.
Oh, that's so good.
Alex, have you stuck with your Lent?
I mean, yeah, giving up Chowen Down for Lent.
Totally sticking with that.
All right.
I'm going to use the old joke again.
turn that schmobot back on
Alex
say this with some more
stream labs and schmoh beans
and bar flies and whatever
well
Mr. Raina says
did Brett really have technical difficulties
or was it just time for some hashtag
straight Mish?
Nope, no Mish
with my daughter in the next
room and my son's still here
But, yeah, sorry, guys.
15 Shades of Geek says,
if you think Ryan licking the camera on a dare was gross,
I once licked the guy's nose.
And that wasn't a dare, by the way.
I just felt like it at the moment.
Okay.
You okay there, Dwayne?
Licked a guy's nose?
But see, again, this sensual?
This could be a fake one.
Remember.
True.
Oh, that's true.
Yes.
If some random ever licked my face or my nose,
that's on the side.
Yeah.
On site.
It's one thing to do it like in 2019.
Like it's already pretty bad.
But like now, like that that's legitimately stompable.
Yeah.
Yeah, I will curb stomp your ass.
Like I will put your jaw on the fucking curve.
Jesus Christ.
I was going to say it's too bad for you, millennials, because, you know, back in the day,
we were looking noses all day long and it was, and it was fine.
It was okay.
We left our doors up.
We didn't have to lock our doors.
We lick noses and faces all the time.
But it's a different time for everyone.
I don't think, you know,
anybody's going to even shake anybody's hand for
quite some time now.
So no more nose-licking.
Next question, comment or concern.
One shade of geek says,
I once ditched work in the middle of
the day of the day to star in a music video
as Superman.
Nice.
That was...
That one's so far-fetched
that I think that might be.
Right? Like, it's so specific.
Yeah, yeah.
No Shades of Geek says,
In the Army, I once shot my commanding officer with a Lego plane.
Um, I believe that.
Lies! Yes, you sleep in a bed of lies. Next.
39 and a half, Shades of Geek says,
In high school, the hottest girl in school tried to kiss me, and I ran away.
Didn't even turn your deck straight up ran away.
Trying to make sure you guys hit at least the minimum.
Not sure if you talked about it already, but what are all.
all of your thoughts on SDCC being over Thanksgiving weekend?
Stupid.
Will you attend?
No.
Probably I hate my family anyway.
Could you pick a worst weekend though?
Could you pick like a fucking worst weekend?
No, you couldn't.
My twin sister's getting married on that Saturday, you cock suckers.
And I live in San Diego.
You're going to make all the hotel prices go up.
You're going to make everything so difficult and trafficy.
And it like, it just like, is.
already the traveling of that week.
I just think it's gonna be such an expensive thing for people,
like more so than the summer, and that's not fair.
Yeah.
And I think the talent wants to be with their families.
And I'm Steph's wedding date.
No one wants to have me show up in my cosplay,
but I'm gonna do it now.
Ben, we talked about this, Ben.
You're not showing up as low-key for the wedding.
Low-key, I am, though.
You're cosplaying as the backbreaker.
What does that mean?
You got to read the comics, guys.
Come on.
I totally understood what SDCC meant and did.
That one didn't fly completely over my head.
So what's going on?
Comic-Con is on a bad weekend?
On Thanksgiving weekend.
Oh, okay.
But like, they're planning on physically having it?
Yep.
Yeah.
No.
Right?
Like,
No.
It's like, you're bringing it back.
Like, people get the flu in normal Comic-Con
just because of like the con-crud.
But now you're going to try and bring it back.
Like, guys, I realize, like, we're passing out vaccines.
The light is seen at the end of the tunnel, but it's not over.
It is not over, y'all.
Like, we need to chill.
Like, I know it's not until November,
but that is going to be borderline.
borderline at best.
At best.
Like my best emergency right now.
Like they're shutting shit down because people keep showing off for spring break and it's
getting bad again.
Like spring break.
Spring break.
Fuck my ass.
But I just read an article today that the main Pfizer.
Sorry guys.
I'm on one today.
I woke up and chose violent today.
I just like how you said on your break like spring breaks.
Smack my ass.
my ass spring breakers on your fucking bah
California trip
I just read an
Oh
Look at my shit
Not an important thought
Just a thought
I read an article that Pfizer's only showing about six months of
Effectiveness in terms of how long it's protecting you from COVID
So that's right around the time November is going to hit
A lot of people who got their vaccine
earlier are I think no longer
going to be protected by that vaccine
and then they're going to have to deal with
shelling out a whole other round of it.
Yeah, it's, it's not,
it's, yeah, just like give it,
give it a little breathing time, guys.
But, and talk about, like,
it's not like they're going to do, like,
half capacity or so, like,
it's going to be just full on shoulder
the shoulder comic con like usual.
That's, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Alex.
2021.
Shades a Geek says, my real name literally translates to lump of sand, son of white.
Hmm.
That might be, might be.
How many real ones were there going to be?
That was the question.
All right, keep moving.
We got a bank through the.
123, Shades, Geeks, says, I once got inside a cage with cheetahs to clean up their shit.
Hmm.
I could believe that.
I can believe that.
I'm about that one.
Yeah.
80,000 and 82 Shades of Geeks says,
I bet none of you know that I was once a model, an ultrasound model.
I lied on a hospital bed while the doctors demonstrated ultrasound on my body.
I was also a shepherd once, but that's another story.
Cool.
Yeah, geez, that is a lot of these.
And those last one for now, so Trousin Snake J. Concho says,
Dwayne, please let everyone have a chance to talk.
You're talking way too much.
Brett, you remind me of my father.
I hated my father.
JK, you the best.
Right.
Is that the bed you make love on behind you?
What did you learn your California surfer accent from?
Clueless?
Maybe I am San Diego born and raised California.
I am straight up that girl that has been due.
I have to really work on not sounding like I just have lived on the beach my entire life.
We're talking native tongues.
That's Steph's native.
Yeah.
I came out the womb.
By the way, guys, this week we have three huge Shmowdown matches, or maybe just two.
I think we just have two.
Do we have a Friday match?
I don't know what our Friday match is, but I know we've got Peggy Gubbins and Page for Breaddy dropped yesterday.
Two rookies and Peggy's my girl.
She's on the den.
Go watch their debut.
It's an amazing match.
And today at 2 p.m., we have Alex Damon versus Craig the Barbarian in an eye.
thriller. I'm so, I don't know what happens in this match. I'm so excited to watch it. The winner of this
plays Mike Kalinowski and the winner of that plays Mara for the belt. So this is a huge, huge match.
Alex is just coming off a devastating loss against Andrew Demilanta in one of the best
modem matches of all time. And Barbarian was probably number two rookie of the year if,
if Adam Collins hadn't had that amazing run,
Barbaran probably would have been rookie of the year.
So I'm really, really looking forward to this.
Absolutely.
And then our Friday match is Shazam.
Oh my God, I forgot the Shazam versus Final Exam
Team's number one contender match.
How did I forget about that?
That's going to be insane.
Shazam has only lost championship matches.
That's literally the only two losses that they've had is championship matches.
They've only lost five rounders.
Final exam was rookie team of the year last year.
I cannot wait.
Paulo Yama just had a huge victory last week over Bibiani.
Oh, I'm excited.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
These are three amazing matches.
Go sign up for Patreon.
Patreon.com slash Shmodown guys.
You'll get these every single week early.
We're doing three pay-per-view matches a month.
There's so much good content over there at the $10 level.
10 bucks a month.
That's it.
And if not, don't complain about spoilers.
Yeah.
I'll say that much.
don't complain about spoilers
but page for brettie and peggy gomez is up now
and Alex Damon and barbarian premiere at two
I'm legitimately excited about that one
but jacks donated $20
again sorry if you covered this
but what are your thoughts on Anthony Ramos
being in talks for the lead in the Stephen
Capel Jr. Transformers movie
I'm glad to see him getting high profile work
oh yeah Anthony Ramos
he's uh... gonna in talks for the new
Transformers movie. I freaking love him in...
Wait, cast or in talks? I thought it was, he was like officially cast.
That is in talks.
It's in talks.
Pretty much he's cast.
In talks is like very close to signing the deal, pretty much, I think.
But either way, he's great.
I just saw him in Godzilla King of the Monsters again.
He's been doing bit roles and he's going to be with Navi in the Heights.
Yes.
Of course, he was in Hamilton.
I don't know if you guys saw...
He was in King of the Monsters, yeah.
So I'm very excited for him to keep doing.
Yeah, I'm trying to think, too.
Stabbeck, I cannot remember.
I cannot remember the soldiers.
Yeah.
He's one of the soldiers.
I remember Oshejaxon Jr. being one of the soldiers.
I don't remember him.
Yeah, he's just one of the friends then.
And Monsters and Men.
He's very good in that one, too.
Smaller movie.
Cool.
Yeah, I'm excited about that.
I think he's an excellent actor.
And he, I know I have to kind of be convinced to watch more Transformers films,
but I probably would watch it.
he was in it because I love him so much.
You don't. You're not missing anything.
You actually don't.
You don't need to be convinced. You're good.
If someone invites you over to watch Transformers movie,
it's strictly for Netflix and chill.
Yeah, I promise you.
Yeah, we're not watching the film.
We're not watching anything.
It's good background music, if anything.
It's exciting.
There's background for the backbreaking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I need explosions for the explosion.
Yeah, it is.
Same with Fast and Furious.
No one is watching those movies.
Hey, how dare you, sir?
Fast 5 is an American cinema classic.
Put some respect on Paul Walker's name.
That's true.
It's been a long day.
Also, exciting news.
The First Class League premiered this week.
Dude, you fucking killed it, man.
You guys killed it.
It was so great.
Thank you.
Both matches were so much fun.
Fun.
Yeah, we have David Campbell.
Fifty shades of each donated $20.
Back to my regular name now.
All of them were 100 real.
To clarify for the nose-licking that guy was a good friend of mine.
Good enough not to punch me in the face for it, that is.
Nah, I'd probably still punch a good friend in the face.
Speaking of punching in the face,
Seth, you did a punch-in-a-face job with the FCL.
Do they like that transition?
That was great.
I love how Brad kept, he loved how you said lit.
Was it?
Yeah, he loved.
Oh, my God.
Can Brad be any more of a dad
while announcing these matches?
I don't know how this sub works.
The sub bomb with the lit?
Oh, yeah, let's go.
Ben, you should talk to him about how Twitch works.
Actually, I should probably pick your brain about it, too.
I can tell him how to say Dway streams all the time too.
I was just about to get to Dwayne.
I am so thoroughly impressed with Dwayne.
We did a tech run and he just, like, showed what a boss he is.
But he's really the reason.
There's a whole team behind it, but that it ran so smooth.
but the matches were really fun and I'm excited about the rest of the season.
Do we have a match announcement for next Tuesday stuff that you want to drop here?
Or is still up in the air?
Is it announced?
I don't think it's been announced yet.
Okay.
I don't know what you guys are doing.
I don't want to know.
I didn't know or not.
But I just want to know personally because I want to see who's playing next because that was a fun time.
Yeah, it was.
I know we have it.
I just don't think it's been announced.
For sure.
For sure.
I'll let you guys do your own thing.
the sclusee.
Release the FCL cut.
Come on.
Come on.
How many more do we have left?
753?
What are we looking at, Alex, on this one sec.
Let me pull up my calculations.
We are at, we're $25 away from our daily goal.
Nice, nice.
And how far away are we from the goal that they did yesterday with no problems whatsoever?
whatever. What was their goal yesterday?
I think, well, you know what? I will say in, in Roxy's,
Roxy killed it. Great idea. Great execution. She really, it's like she's meant to host things.
Also, you know, if, yeah, truth or dare, it was so, she, I mean, it was so seamless. She never even
mentioned like, like, oh, you know, we really need this to continue doing the show or anything. It was just like,
Everybody had fun with it.
I should have thought of something fun.
But I was,
I've been thinking about it.
Hey,
we came up with a live read of Zola.
Yeah.
That's,
I said I was going to prank my mom.
No one bet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
We had ideas.
We had ideas.
But yesterday was Ryan's last day.
So a lot of love to Ryan.
And, you know, that was, that was,
yeah.
We got, he's going to,
oh, he got a match.
Right?
Yeah.
you'll be in a rocky match
against Roka and Adam Collins.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
And what's funny is that like...
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Christian said that at two grand,
but he set a goal where Ryan got the host the rest of the show.
So then when Ryan took over as the host,
he changed the goal for that one to 1,500 or something like that.
So that was a brilliant move on Ryan.
And I can not wait to see that.
match and I can't wait to hear Roka's reaction.
Wait, that's hilarious.
I'm, now, okay, that's a reason to get the Patreon right there, guys.
Ryan and the Rocky match.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing.
All right, Alex.
What's next?
All right, we got Ace Money saying,
Steph, I believe the article about the Pfizer vaccine stated it was effective at least
through six months, and not that it stopped working after six months.
Oh, that's great.
So far the effects are lasting and they are going to continue.
to follow the study participants for two years.
Oh, hell yeah.
Good.
Jumping over to Super Chats,
Michael Cross says,
Hi, guys.
Hey.
Hello.
Hey.
And that's all we have for now.
So let me jump back to yesterday,
unless we have other topics you want to talk about anything else.
My impression of pausing an old VHS tape.
Thank you very much.
You got one for free, folks.
Wow.
That wasn't $50?
Wow, you really
undersold yourself on that one.
God, you're a fucking piece of shit,
Brett.
Oh, can't believe
I'm giving them away for free today.
Oh, man.
All right, let's hear your...
I'm so boring that if I were spices,
I would have been Matt Zerflower.
Hold on. You gotta replay that one.
Oh, yeah, that came so fast.
50 Shades of Geek donated $25.
Helping you guys reach the goal.
Sorry if you hated all my stories.
today. I know him boring.
So boring. I'm so
boring that if I people wear spices
I would have been Matt Zaflower.
Matt Zaflower?
They're not boring. Those were
boring. I can't believe half of those.
I was like, I thought there were, you were doing
the thing where there's like one real story.
Yeah, two truth and a lie. Yeah, yeah.
Like, come on. No, that was, and
yeah, don't be careful
playing, play in hide and seek
folks. Right? Jesus.
Yeah, I got the cops called
me multiple times playing.
Oh, really? Really?
What? Because I lived in the city, like in the heart of the city.
So running through other people's backyards,
climbing on buildings that you're probably not supposed to be climbing on.
Yeah.
I got the cops called on me quite a few times.
Oh, I used to be able to like do the jump over a fence, you know, like in one.
Yeah.
Right. God, it was so great.
Or the really high fence, I could do the thing where I jump up and I kind of flip.
I was going to say, could you.
Could you do the flip?
Yeah, yeah.
That was like the coolest thing.
It was like a chain link fence.
Like you climb up and then you grab the other side and you just like flip over and you land on your feet.
So it's one foot on the fence.
You reach over, grab the other side, flip over and just keep running.
What?
I can climb fences well, but I don't flip on them.
Yeah, that was that was in my Ute when I was a U.
Now talk about breaking it back, folks.
I was just driving down the street.
And you know how like a lot of restaurants have like pushed out into parking spaces to like make patios with like, you know, those those traffic cinder blocks or whatever.
And some guy like was running across street and jumped and his foot like barely clipped it.
And like he landed.
But he like looked around and I was like, man, you almost like, I wouldn't have even laughed because like that would have hurt.
And I was like that was a bold move for you to just try and hurdle that thing just off the bat.
and it almost did not work.
Wow.
All right, send in your favorite fence jumping stories.
God, I would.
I would try that.
How did no one donate $1,000 for their favorite fence jumping?
Yeah, come on, guys.
If everybody donates $1,000 in the next eight minutes,
I will have the best show ever on the history of the channel.
No, I've had a lot of fun.
It's been a weird
weird, weird day,
but I appreciate everybody that's sending in what you're sending in.
Do we have, no more questions or anything?
Right.

Did I mention my son's going to school twice a week for a half day?
And he has to be taken somewhere at 7.30 in the morning.
I haven't seen 7.30 this whole past.
Well, what was it?
Like, someone tweeted out a picture of Biden being, like, in an interview.
And he's in an interview, you know, 10 feet apart.
And he's like, this interview was about kids going back into the classroom.
It's like, yeah.
Like, Paul Verhoven couldn't make a more fucking ironic.
movie than what is happening in this world
right now. I know. And that was
the big thing early on when they were talking
about getting kids back in school. I saw where
somebody said, I just had a Zoom meeting
with all the teachers
and like the superintendents and all that
about going
back to school for like part days.
So like they were too afraid to have that
meeting in the same room together. Stanley Gucci donated

And I was like, what?
You're going to at least get the K-so.
I'll tell you that much.
That one, they give to you.
And I don't, I thought they'd email me, but I don't, I didn't screen grab the code.
So I don't even think I'm getting the K-so, folks.
So I'll, I'll wait.
I'll wait till 1159 if someone wants to Schmobot in, my last guess.
The last.
If not, then, um, uh, you guys.
You guys can choose that.
Everyone will pick one number.
Just out of the blue.
I'm really enjoying.

I lived in rural West Virginia.
Neighbors are half mile apart at least.
Played ding-dong ditch once.
Had to walk a mile to get somewhere, not family.
The people came out with a gun.
Had to sneak back home through hayfields and creeks.
Never did that again.
Oh, geez.
That sounds like fun to me.
Me. Yeah, right?
Haystacks and creeks.
That sounds like that one movie with,
where they have leeches on them in the lake.
Oh, stand by me?
Yeah.

I just saw the little clip on the socials with the sushi and that made me so hungry.
And I don't know if you finished it.
I got to check out the full video.
But I could have destroyed that whole thing.
I don't know, but that much raw fish, talking about chowing down.
It's intense.
I went to an all you can eat.
Yeah.
Down to chow down.
Come my back down.
There, no joke, sushi is not something you should go to an all you can eat sushi place.
It's not something meant to be ingested in large quantities.
As Gollum would say, raw and wrangling.
Oh, oh.
Oh, no, no.
Gusting.
You should actually be gross.
Oh, God, Gollum.
Okay, Brett, take us the fuck out.
Yeah, let's do this.
Listen, hey guys, thanks for joining us on Chowdawn Live.
