🚀 Our Show Is Trending is launching on Kickstarter September 22nd! We're excited to finally share what we've been working on. Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Marvel Studios has reportedly found its Warren Worthington III, with Gen V star Asa Germann cast as Angel in the upcoming MCU X-Men reboot! With the original five mutants continuing to take shape alongside Christopher Abbott's Charles Xavier and Adam Driver's Mister Sinister, Marvel's Mutant Saga is building massive anticipation. But how will Angel fit into Jake Schreier's vision for the team, and what does this mean for the future of the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the newest MCU X-Men casting news, what Asa Germann brings to the role of Angel, and how Marvel is assembling its next era of mutant storytelling. Over at DC, Matt Reeves has officially renewed his overall television deal with Warner Bros. Discovery and Warner Bros. Television. Does this re-up open the door for The Penguin Season 2 starring Colin Farrell, or will Reeves and HBO pivot to brand-new Gotham City spin-offs to bridge the gap leading into The Batman Part II? Plus, Cody Walker has sparked intense debate by suggesting modern AI technology—rather than physical body doubles—could be used to bring Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner back for the final Fast and Furious movie if his daughter Meadow approves. Is using generative AI to resurrect deceased actors a touching tribute for a franchise finale, or does it cross an ethical line that Hollywood shouldn't touch? We debate the future of digital recreation, the state of DC's Batman Epic Crime Saga, and Marvel's mutant rollout!

All right, all right, all right. X-Men finds it's Angel. You got a lot of things going out today. They're potentially going to use AI for Paul Walker in Fast Forever. Is that a smart move? Reviews for Marvel's Wolverine game came in. A lot of other things to discuss today. We'll find some other topics.

You got some, again, Dustin, Daniel Cretton, and X-23 and a bunch of other things for me and Winston to chat about today. So we're going to do it. It's myself and Winston A. Marshall here today on the show. We're excited to be here with you on this Friday. So here we go. Did you shit in there? Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the show.

It is Friday. And I feel like I haven't done a show with Winston in a while. But here he is. I got to keep it alive, man. I got to keep it alive. Grasping at straws. That's not even the straws. but it's too good.

We're just going to let it die. No, it's good. It's good. It was funny. That theme wasn't even four originally, wasn't even four capes. Wasn't that supposed to be for Riley? It was Riley's theme music.

The problem was, and you know, speaking of, we had the Shmodeown Vault on there right now, and Riley was on like this legendary run. He won like five games in a row, and he was crushing him as the champion. He defends the championship.

So this guy created this music for him. But then Riley started going on this kind of, streak you a lot losing streak you lost to dan and he lost to rocca um and so he just said i'm not having good luck with that theme song so it's just superstition so we just put it on ice and i was like it's just too good so we used it for uh the theme to just let go to the wayside yeah we it's good i mean i get it like the the theme for blurds in the hood is actually from a sketch that i did a long time ago someone made that for a sketch and it and it lives in the sketch the sketch is still up on the internet, uh, hood-ass yoga. I'm sure people, some people here have seen it, but it just got

used one time as a placeholder for Blurds. And then it was just like, oh, this is just the Blurds theme now. So it's funny how shit like that'll happen where it was not even meant for that. No. And there are you guys are still doing the show, right? How's Jay doing? He's good, man. He's doing really, he's been doing a lot of stand-up. He's been touring a lot, which is, you know, it's been good for him on that. And the show itself has, has been pretty great, man. We've, we, we, we did a marathon stream a couple months ago man and it was essentially if we got to a certain dollar amount then uh we would have to do like these kind of like uh i guess they'd be punishments for us but rewards and he had to drink a monster energy like hard like hard monster energy

yeah so it was it was like do you remember four loco did you ever like partake in that at all What was it? No. Well, I don't know what it is. Four Logo was this insane, like, malt, like, liquor beverage that was, like, flavored. That was essentially five beers and, like, 10 cups of coffee in, like, one drink. Okay. Like, you would have, I remember having them in college.

No, yeah. You would have one, and you would black out. Like, it was, it was bad. So that's essentially what he had to drink at 10 o'clock at night. He called me the next day, being like, I have not slept for, over 24. Oh, man. You know, that'll do it.

So that's some kind of show right there. Well, cool. I'm glad that you guys are doing it again. I'm glad that we are able to do a show together. We haven't been able to do that in a little bit. We have a couple of just schedules. Yeah. And so, I mean, I always take this with a grain of salt,

but we've booked two interviews, no, whether or not they usually happen when we book them. But just in case, you know, people, it's never 100% in stone. So what we're going to do is probably air both of them during the time when the Kickstarter launches, which launches a week from Monday. But we got two pretty good interviews. Nice.

And where are we at on the follow count? I know that that's a big. Yeah, I'm going to bring that up in a second. I want to let people know who the interviews are with. We're doing, we're having Brad Bird, which is going to be pretty awesome. It's going to be in studio. So I'll be sitting now with Brad Bird and talking to him for about an hour. Nice.

So that will air. around the same time as the Kickstarter. And then Paul Walter Houser was going to sit down with me and talk. So we got both Paul Walter Houser and Brad Bird booked right now to launch both those interviews during the time. The only problem with the Paul Walter Houser one, it's a happy problem to have, I guess. But like, he's coming in to promote Resident Evil.

Oh, nice. So I was supposed to see Resident Evil that day. But unfortunately, it's fortunately and unfortunately, I'm interviewing him an hour before the screening. So by the time, by the time it's over, the screening will be beginning. So I will, I will miss the screening. So I'm probably, that's probably going to be one of them. I'm really bummed because I'm really anticipating that movie, but I might be one of those movies that I'll just have to wait for his reaction.

You should send Sam by herself and have her report back. Yeah, now she's, but she's better on the reaction side of things, you know. No, no, I get it. But how does she do with horror? She loves her. She loves it. Oh, no, she loves it. She loves it.

Yeah, yeah. She wants to watch more of it. But Tina's kind of been, like, my horror person, but we just haven't had a lot of stuff to watch lately. But we did watch, Sam and I did watch Obsession together and actually did pretty well. So anyway, so there you go.

Those are both the, those are both interviews that are coming up pretty soon. Excited for that. We'll probably be piecing that out as a clips also and promote the Kickstarter as that's happening. But I want to talk. talked about those guys it's going to be pretty good um all right as far as what Winston was asking we are oh you know what I didn't even do this is what I was supposed to do

what do we're something let me let me play this first and then we then we can go into that count thing here we go guys I'm so excited to share something with you I'm a producer on a new half-hour comedy called trending it's created by Christian Harloff and martini peritore see the funny thing is nobody came to me asking me to be involved I'd heard Christian had a really good script apparently going around and I was like, all right, let me see this. Let me read this thing. I thought it might be something like Vanity Project or whatever. I didn't know what to expect.

And I ended up being so surprised by how much I loved it. Not just the pilot itself, but I could actually see where this show could go. So I asked Christian if there's some way I can get involved and help produce it. And since then, this thing has gotten way more legit. Emmy Award winning producer Andrew Freed from Chef's Table and Welcome to Rexham is directing and boardwalk pictures is involved. The Kickstarter, it launches September 22nd, but right now we're trying to get 5,000 people following in the campaign before it even launches. And if you're a Schmodeon fan, there's another reason to care, because if this thing gets funded

fast enough, the movie trivia Shmodown comes back. So, please hit the link, follow the Kickstarter. It costs you nothing to follow, and it really helps us build momentum going into the launch. I'm very excited about this one, like nervous, excited because I really feel like we're going to pull off something really cool here. please go check it out link a description box and pin comment it is so um yeah gregg is on board greggs and the reason i play that besides the obvious of that it's a cool little commercial um Greg's gonna be on the show next tuesday he's coming on he's gonna be on live for us and then he's

actually also going to be on um the live stream when we do it and um it's funny because i want you know what i'll tell both you guys in the chat because i don't want to spoil it but i have um i have something that's going to happen on on the live stream that i think is going to be good um let's see yeah i just put that in there i confirmed that by the so i i can i can i confirm it like pield he's excited too i confirmed that um yesterday so that's going to happen um okay i will this is on Tuesday. Yeah, I'm hoping I got to send you, I got to send you some availables too,

because I'm going to be, I'm going to be live streaming from around probably. I don't know if it's going to be 10 in the morning or, or 12. I was thinking maybe start at normal time, do our normal show and then keep going until like, you know, 9, 10 o'clock.

I don't know yet. Or maybe start in the morning. I haven't really made the PLDN I need to talk about it because we need to figure it out this week. So you're essentially doing a marathon stream. Yeah, for, day one for sure. Nice. Next week's going to be busy the following weeks.

Monday's going to be really busy on the 22nd, obviously, because as Greg said in that video, if we hit our goal in day one, then we're going to get an 18 person, 18 person. Is that right? No, 16 person. I'm, I feel like, no, 18, 17 is enough. Yeah, 16. Probably going to announce some of the competitors on that live stream on Monday, some surprises, some other things. So yeah, so we're, we're pretty excited, ready to go for it. It's exciting. It's nerve-wracking.

It's all that stuff and above. So we're trying to, like I said, we just need about 13,000 people putting $25 when we make the show. That's it. There you go. So, yeah, to answer your question, Winston, currently right now, let me bring this up. Where is it?

Moment. we are currently at 2,263. So it would be great to get to 2,300 by the end of this stream. That would be amazing. So I hope that you guys again. What, 37? Yeah, it's doable. We can do 37 for sure.

Let's see. I'm putting it in our show is trending.com. It's in there. And currently right now, Winston, you've got to catch both Roxy and Mike today. That's the, that's a dynamic duo if I've ever heard one. Because Roka was, Roka's been, Roka's been winning left and right. He just wasn't on the show on Monday. We took the break for the holiday, but now he's, um, he, so he's not in, he's not

in contention this week. So you got those two. And currently, you got a little bit to go because you have one. One question. All right. So we're starting hot. We're starting hot. If you want to see Winston beat, uh, Mike and Roxy, you got to get him past one.

I'm really in trouble. If I'm getting one every 10. minutes, holy fuck. To be fair, I think what is going to happen, and I have to, and I think everybody needs to be prepared for this, and I think that it is more than it. They're going to go down because the Kickstarter is going to come and people. A hundred percent. And I, and I, and I,

you know, it doesn't, it doesn't matter to you guys, because it's still the highest person who gets, even if it's, it's significantly lower than it normally is still, still going to win the bonus, but as I, I am fully prepared and well aware that it should go down, leading into the Kickstarter month, because people

have been, as I've been saying, so it's humbling, right? People are going to listen, I probably won't put the super chats that I do, but I'm going to put a nice little amount towards the Kickstarter. I was like, that's what we're, that's long run stuff. No, exactly. I mean, it's, it's long-term game,

short-term pain type scenario. Yeah, that's long-run stuff. It's like, it's, people who are understanding that by this show doing stuff and potentially becoming a series, does nothing except elevate the channel to big, levels. So that's what we're trying to do. We have topics and we have things to discuss today

and we should do that because I know that there was some news yesterday about X-Men and we saw it as we were kind of like signing off yesterday. So we didn't cover it. And there was another story. There's another story that I saved from yesterday that I said I'm going to cover with Winston. You guys remember what that was, PLD? Because there was a topic yesterday or just look at the email that Luke said sent and yesterday or Luke whatever it was yesterday there was something that I said you know what I'm not going to cover that I'll just cover it with Winston tomorrow oh it was a penguin thank you that's exactly what it was thank you it's Sam coming in hot talking about the uh Matt Reeve stuff with Winston as well so that's that's that's great if you've peeled if you can bring up that article

for me from yesterday and just put it in the chat and I'll cover that with um with Winston in a little bit But first, we said that the X-Men news is going to keep, once started it wasn't going to stop as far as rumors and all those things. And now we have our angel. That's right. So X-Men has now cast Gen V-Star, Ace of German as Angel, after he impressed in the audition for a different mutant. You know, he was in season one of Gen B.

So I really liked Gen B, but I never saw season two. and I just kind of forgot it. But I'm sure, what was his powers? He was super strong. He essentially had like, he was not the Hulk and that he turned into a monster, but he had like rage issues and he started having like necosis and stuff.

Yeah, I think, I think I remember. And like, didn't he, doesn't he like kill somebody outside? Yeah, because of a bunch of people outside, he sees people as puppets. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was good. Yeah, he was good.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Gen Vian Scream 7 star Ace of German's head didn't see that piece of that movie I shouldn't call I don't like calling movies pieces of crap if I haven't seen them. That's not fair. I'm just going off what other people said and I've been in that position before when I've watched it

and gone, I don't know what people are talking about. I like those movies. But it's been cast as Warren Worthington the third. Warren Worthington the third. Angel and the untitled X-Men reboot coming to theaters in 28. Several cast members were announced at D23 last month, but it was obvious that was in the movie's full roster.

Marvel Studios will still be working out various details. Beast, for example, is still expected to join the team, which explains why this news has broken now. Interestingly, German was in the running to play Cyclops. According to the trade, the Kevin Feige-led studio was impressed enough with German, they offered him a part of Angel. Could we be getting the original five in the MCU, Beast, Icemen, are the only ones missing from the lineup?

Cyclops, Gene Gray, and Angel, were the rest of Professor's exes, first recruits to make that happen. Either way, with Rogue and Storm also in the mix, we're looking at an impressive team of superheroes. Angel was one of the original X-Men debilings along the other ones that we mentioned. Born into a wealthy family, Warren developed large feathered wings and initially hit his mutation before becoming the crime-fighting

Avenging Angel. He was recruited by Professor Axe and became a founding member of the X-Men. They don't need to dive into the darker stuff because they might actually cover. So I don't want to do that. I think that this pretty much confirms that they're going to go with the origins of the X-Men, which I think is a good play. I think it's a good play. Why not? And the people that are, there have been so many people that I've friends who are, anybody care about no Ice Man or No Beast? I was like,

you don't care about no Ice Man or No Beast, but considering what the core five ultimately end up doing and how their stories branch off, both within the team and otherwise, I am very much here for it. And I'd like to start there. It doesn't mean you don't meet other mutants because I think what will probably end up happening is I think you start with your core five and then in the course of that movie you find you find rogue you find storm yeah right meet emma that's that's that's how that's going to they're recruiting they're recruiting yeah they're they're recruiting and i think there's a good way to do it to where you you set it up and you give that nod to the original kind of x-man fans and the origin and doesn't surprise me considering how big of an

exman fan that kevin fagie is in general that that he would do that we've done the thing with all the really popular ones first they've established themselves that people are excited about the X-Men in general. It'll just make much more of an impact. I'm telling you, I hope they go the way of what they did with the Joker and Batman begins with Wolverine. I hope that that, like, he's not in the whole, he's not in the movie at all. And set the very end, there's a post-credit scene about that they have to go to Canada

or whatever the hell he is. Maybe he's in Japan. I don't know where he is, but wherever he is, they have to go somewhere and there's some kind of playoff of Adamantium or whatever it is. and, you know, they, and it's teased. So maybe the sequel will have Wolverine, which would make sense. The sequel, you don't want to play,

you don't want to tease Wolverine for too long. Sure. But you can tease him once. No, I agree. I think you could, in the same way you did first class, like you tease him in the sense that you had him have that one line,

and then that was it. And then you ultimately really brought him back into the fold in the next movie with Days of Future Past. I think you're probably looking at a similar situation, you maybe get a Wolverine in a post-credit-type scenario, and then he's back in the fold for the next movie. But if I had to guess where we're going with this, especially with the idea of said recruiting and everything else,

I think you end up in a scenario where Rogue actually is going to start off as a bad guy as she normally did, and we will not know it until the movie is over. Those that know the lore will know it, that Mystique is actually in this movie as well, and because mystique was originally pulling the strings of rogue pretending to be her mom and all this kind of stuff. Oh, is that the, is that how that's how the intro happened in the comics? Mm-hmm. It's, is, mystique had been around otherwise, but as far as rogue, that was, she didn't realize

that her mother was this evil mutant that was doing stuff. She was just following orders that her was telling her, only to be like, you know what, I'm going down a different path. I don't, I don't agree with you at all. So I think that that's ultimately where we're going to probably end up going. If you're doing the core five, I think that would make a lot of sense to your recruiting mutants. There's some big thing going on. Rogue is here. She's actually posing as a villain. And then all of a sudden it's like a no, let's come to the good side. And then Mystique really reveals herself and we kind of push forward from there. And I could totally see Mystique working for Mr. Sinister to pull this off, knowing that Sinister is the main villain that we got out and

driver. And there was some report yesterday. There was another story we didn't get to, but essentially saying that the rumors are that similar to what they were saying about Doom, but that Sinister isn't just going to appear in this movie. He's going to be kind of peppered throughout. Smart. Like kind of kind of kind of like a I know you said Doom, but almost like a Loki

is what it sounds like. Sure. I mean, you know, and I hope they don't do the same thing where they redeem him and he's like good guy. Sinister doesn't. Never does that right. Yeah. Yeah. It worked. It worked for Loki. I just, it doesn't because you know, I thought from the second movie they set Loki up, where

is the jealousy aspect, but he still is kind of not bad in the beginning. And then he just goes full villain in Avengers and then you find a way to kind of redeem him. But I don't need to see that with other villains. It's okay. I'll just let villains be villains sometimes. But the fact that they're peppering him in doing this. What this also shows is that which is what they should do when we talked about years ago, me, you and Corey, when we're talking about them on capes, is that they got to play the long game with the X-Men.

A thousand percent. And that's what they're doing. right now because that is the future stay away from the side character movies stay away from the things that you try you gave it a shot it's not we're not living in that era anymore you got to go for the for the ones that are popular and what people are looking for black panther three is a great call definitely do that it's a popular franchise is going to crush um and then stick to x-men give ghost rider a shot see how it does you got you got a movie star there maybe coming off of uh starfighter let's see don't break the bank on that movie, which they might, which I don't think is a good idea.

But they might be in a spot Winston right now. If things, I mean, you look at, I don't know if you saw the report yesterday, but the doomsday pre-sales are already over, over $50 million on for night one. So I'm not, it's not as crazy of a prediction now, is it? What, for $3 billion? Yeah. No, I mean, not after what we've seen Spider-Man do. You know, Spider-Man was?

You know, Spider-Man's pre-sales were? No. 40. It's over, told it by over 10. There you go. I mean, look, if nobody's going to be upset if it happens, just $3 billion is crazy. It's crazy, but it's not as crazy as it was five months ago. It's tapped out now at about 2.5?

Yeah, I think there, I think it's at 2.4 currently, but it's still, it's not tapped out yet, but it's still making money. It's just the, the meteoric rise. It's 2.4 right now. But it'll, it's got a, it's 925 dimensions. international is 1.4. I can't believe the Odyssey almost hit 2 billion. That's crazy. It's pretty nuts. Dude, good.

Like, I know there's a big... It's a 1.6. 1.6. Yeah, but still... But you round it up. You rounded up. I just... Good for Nolan because, like, his highest movie before this was, like, 1.1 or something? It wasn't even. I don't think you ever broke

a billion. No, it was... He broke a billion one time for one of the one of the Dark Night movies. Oh, wait, maybe you're right. maybe you're right. I think you might be right. Maybe you are right. Let me see.

Let me see. Is it the Dark Night Rises? I think you might be right. Let's see. Dark Night Rises was one, little over one point. And Dark Knight hit a billion. Right.

Okay. So I thought it was his first. This is by far in a way his biggest. Yeah. You know, where I got confused, it was his first rated R billion movie. Yeah. Because Oppenheimer was almost there too.

Wasn't Oppenheimer rated R? I would assume. So it was. I don't know. Either way. But yes, I'm with you. I thought the my predictions of the year, which are all over the map at this point, but I had doomsay is number one, Spider-Man is number two, Toy Story is number three, and then Odyssey at like number four out of those four movies in general. And I had minions at one point. Minions aren't even in running at this point. But yeah. The minions isn't even sniff a billion. I thought it was going to be higher up to the fact that it was good. It was good. It was better than the last movie, and the last movie did really well. So, you know what it is?

And this is wild, because the only way that you make this much money in a movie is you hit all four quadrants. I think ultimately between Toy Story and Spider-Man, you just drained the life out of minions. Like, minions just didn't get there. Yeah, maybe. But Spider-Man, I thought Spider-Man was going to tap out,

or, like, you know, I thought it was going to have a big, huge number, but the tap out of 1.7, it almost dwarfed that. I called to Billy on this one. Did you? Mm-hmm. that was my whole thing is I thought that it would hit two

and I thought Doomsday would hit two but I just thought that Spider-Man potentially was going to make a little more just thinking of No Way Home which is why when you said $3 billion for Doom me I was like bro I ain't not to hit no three-billy

but if you're doing 50 in the pre-sales like you said and that's just for the first day Yeah it still has to be awesome in order The thing is that yeah it has to be awesome And the other thing is there is a world where it will be the second $3 billion movie in the same year. There's a world that that could happen. It could be not the first movie to ever make $3 billion.

What would be the second? Endgame would hit it if it hits two. Oh, right, right. If the new re-release of end game, which is not going to happen, but if it hits $200 million worldwide, it will become the first $3 billion movie. But it needs to make $130 to beat Avatar, and that's possible. What if it hits the $200 million, though? And potentially get $2, $3 billion movies.

It would be crazy if that happened. So nuts. Yeah, it's nuts. It's unlikely. But there is a world that that could happen, and that would be one of the biggest stories. Maybe a ball time. Look, man, people need something to feel good about right now. Like, football is back, so that helps.

So a lot of people here in the States, that's something that will help there. but that's why people have flocked to Spider-Man so much is because and why they flocked to even say Michael back in the spring is because it was like people wanted something to just like lighten their spirits just because the world feels like it's pretty heavy right now. Yeah, but this is what I won't, see, this is not true though. Yeah, same with me is not 2015 anymore.

Then explain despicable of me, four. It came out in 2024, I made almost a billion dollars. So that that logic doesn't. doesn't work for that movie 2015 because it's still because despicable being before made like 980 million dollars so that's why they made minions because like oh people still care about these people um and i don't know what what did it wind up doing it still did 519 it's not right right and it only costs like 120 so it made it made money it just didn't do i if i'm them at this point though i go all right let's let's let's walk off the the court with the win that you know what i'm saying like it's

It is a, it is a thousand percent a, look, we were supposed to win this game by like three, four scores. We won by one. We could have done better, but it's a win is a win at this point. And, you know, they just, I'm sure they just were expecting a little bit more out of it. That's all. True. Curious, what everyone thinks about all this stuff that we're talking about. I'll make sure you click, like, comment, do all that.

Before we get into other stories, and we have a ton of them, we're going to cover that Matt Reeve stuff, as we said. we're going to talk about our good friends over our both factor and of course we know that uh pld is not going to do it this time ruggie yet hey roaring get hor and turf and uh in tombs penis like umnamnamnam I'm not. Like, hey, guys, I'm a scarecor with Universal Studios Hollywood, and I'm going to show you my day getting ready. Got to pack my long johns because it's going to be rainy out here.

did that you saw the thing martini did right with the um when she did the we talked about impressions oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and she did the thing where she she she almost like bring trollequist what she could do Um, so we played that and, and then Roxy had a note to where like we should start with her doing it first because that's how we're social media. So Mike's like, you got to go to the joke first. And there's any, any, any, and he was going nuts with he's like these bloggers and and blogging about their day and and going to. And then he's like, then he went. But when he says, he goes, look at me.

I had the sandwich. Oh, I got all of myself. He's like, oh, this thing's spicy. It killed me. Absolutely. There's a really good one of, of this, this girl that's clearly like, she's got to be in like middle school or something like that and it was like uh she literally just entitled pov of a normal person eating something yeah and a genzy influencer eating something i was

like not you roast in like essentially your older sister and shit like that but it would be like um to try lettuce for the first time oh this is pretty good okay cool uh i guess let us more often and the versus the influencer be like uh okay guys i found this new thing today called let tas i don't know how i haven't heard of it before but this is please we're going to try it oh it's it's it's It's so stupid. That sounds good. And he's been, dude, he's been sending me messages. Like, he's, you find, now, now it's like his mission on Instagram to find, like,

these people. He's just, there's one person they were going over thinking, Mike just writes some big capital letters. Shut the fuck. Old man you on the cloud, bro. It's the best. It is absolutely the best. So, yeah, anyway, thanks to our sponsors, by the way.

We've had World Rouge yet, and, in fact, make sure you guys check them out. I know that you guys know this already, but it helps out the show tremendously, and it keeps us going for a while, and it has been. So thank you. We are not too far away from 2,300 on the campaign currently at 2267. If you're not following now, please do so because we launch on Monday, man. And it's like, it really is the, I think it's probably one of the biggest days in my life, career-wise, you know, outside of the birth of my children.

and my wife. You said career-wise. Your child was a career move? No, no. And I'm saying, that's why I'm trying to think of the other things, though, too, you know, in my life. So this is a really big moment in general. And I'm like, I still haven't made the bigger announcement, or a bigger announcement that we're supposed to make soon. But I think we'll probably do it closer to the launch.

We're going to have some really cool guests on the day of the live stream. We'll probably do that throughout the entire month, be doing stuff. So it's going to be a lot. It's really going to be a lot going on a week from Monday. And the crew has been really supportive. You guys have been really supportive. I think Discord yesterday reached 400 people. So that's pretty good.

Again, the other thing, and what's funny is that right during the midst of the campaign, see what kind of mood I'm in. Hopefully I'm in a good mood because we're going to be performing on October 8th at the brokerage of Belmore. I hope you guys can make it because it's going to be a good show. well at least we'll be those two will be good mood as we'll see we'll see what kind of mood i'm in on october 8th um why would you potentially be in a bad move well i mean we're we're running it on the we're running

it on the 22nd until the 22nd right so if and if i'm looking on october 8th i'm just like we got a long way to go i'm gonna be in a shit mood but if we're like we already hit the but that actually would be a good thing because your comedy when you're pissed off is actually kind of hilarious well i don't want to be pissed off i'd rather i'd rather bomb i'd rather bomb i'd rather bomb i'd rather bomb you to be pissed off either but but it's one of those things. I don't really like to do. Honestly, you know what though?

I don't really like to do comedy pissed off. I don't really. I've never, like I, I did it when I was younger pissed off and it doesn't, it doesn't play well. It doesn't play well. I like,

you know, annoyance, annoyance is, is okay, like on there to be, is even the fact, you know, when there's a,

it just, there's even the grocery shop in here when I was like, because I don't know, like LA, everybody bags your groceries. Everybody, right? they don't you might as well be asking them for a kidney here um like and and everyone like

and there is in in l. there's like a diverse of like people who are working at grocery stores you could you could find someone that looks like me someone that looks like you there could be anybody everybody in long island is my mother I'm telling you it's like it's just like are you sure that oh that's what you want to get okay all right we've got other. things that you can get you don't have to get that those you should might be a little bit expensive but you can you look like you can afford it anyway I actually had a friend who she almost she almost decided to not go to college she'd gotten into NYU but she almost decided

not to go because she worked at a grocery store that summer and she just had a burnout and the the mothers that like worked there because she was like working out of a small town or whatever or living in a small town they that worked the grocery store what you're not going to do what you're not going to waste your fucking life and look like me in 40 years you're going to take the ass to college literally like banded together got her like supplies to go really put a kick in her ass and like obviously she's super grateful now but like it's funny it's funny how like some of those grocery store lifers man they really like oh yeah no no they're they're warriors um you know and then but they put the old battle horses there and then they put the 20 the 18 to 20 year olds in

the aisle to when you go, hey, where the Trisc gets, what happened? Nothing. Nothing happened. I need cream cheese. You know where it is, Ralph? Although, I don't know, whatever. I'm not, Ralph. That's the name of the store.

Yeah, right. No, not. Here it isn't. Oh, shit, y'all don't have Ralph's up there. No, they don't have Ralph. No, it's like stop and shop and what the hell else is it? I mean, they have Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's, they, they, that's the only place still that bags your groceries.

That's still here. Yeah, they weren't Hawaiian shirts. and ringing bells, bro. They, you know, they got at least a little bit of life in them. Yeah. Saul. True. I've been through it, man.

They've been through it. Anyway. Okay. So let's get to some topics. And this is the one I wanted to talk about yesterday because Winston and I big fans of the Penguin series. And Matt Reeves has re-uped his Warner Brothers TV deal. Now, what in the world does that mean?

What does that mean? Because you got all this stuff. There's new reports about, you know, the brave and the bold and what's going to be going on there. So what is this all about? Well, with the Batman Part 2, Director Matt Reaping his deal with Warner's TV, DC Comics Fan are hoping this will lead to another season of the Penguin or a different series in that world. The Batman Part 2 arrives in theaters in 2008, and while the Penguin has helped bridge the gap between 22 and 2 of Batman and its secret.

It's still an agonizing wait for fans of the Cape Crusader. Throw in the uncertainty surrounding DC Studios plans for Batman and the situation becomes even more fraught. Will the brave and the bold lead to Reeves being forced to halt plans for part three? And are we ever going to get the Penguin season two or another small screen spin-off? One of those TV chairperson, Channing Dungey, has told variety that Matt Reeves and his sixth an Idaho production company, which was responsible for the Penguin, have re-uped their overall deal with One Brothers TV. The agreement has been in place since 2020, and as you might expect, fans are hoping it will lead to more stories set in the world of Rees Batman Epic Crime Saga. That has a true knack for getting into the psyche of his characters and his team has delivered some of the most compelling thought-provoking stories over the years.

While the Penguin works as a limited series, we know that Gotham City's New Kingpin will only have a few scenes in the Batman Part 2. With that mind, there's still plenty of places for a story to go in a potential season 2. Okay, so this is just the, this is the cluster that is part of it. I see our boy Anthony Cheesman is in here. So here we're going to, we're going to get into it again. Because my, my point of it is this, this is where it gets tricky. Because you get Matt Reeves. And if the Batman part two does really well, Supergirls coming off of right now the super

family is one for two, right? Now, Superman didn't do the gangbusters numbers that they wanted it to, but it did fine. Okay. And so the people don't know what to make of the Gorilla Grod thing yet. Dude. Right, right. We can get into that in a second, but we just know that that's also connected to the super family aspect, right? And the DC what they're going.

The tone of lanterns has been great, in my opinion, but they're not going that route for the overall feel of DCU. so we don't know what the Batman brave and the bold is going to be. If Paramount winds up getting Warner Brothers and you're buying over to, you know, this big IP, which is DC, and you've got the Reeves universe, which has been super successful with Batman Part 1, the Penguin won various Emmys and people loved it. And at the Batman Part 2 comes in an over-performing, forms the man of tomorrow and if they put brave and the bold out and this was my point that

the two batmans at the same time is too tricky to do because what you don't want to do is get the audience to say well we like patinson's batman but we don't like the dc u's batman or that story was better with the batman you're comparing them right away because people are going to why I just put that guy in there and do that and do that? And you don't want to get your brand, people fighting over your same brand. Right. And essentially handicapping one of them because they're just like, this is stupid. I don't like this one.

I like this one. Yeah. And so the problem is that if you, my personal opinion is that business wise, Penguin, Matt Reeves knows what he's doing right now with this world. And if the Batman 2 delivers in the way that we think it will, people are going to want to see that penguin side of it. And it's just, I don't know, man. It's like, do you just say, look, let's just run both DC universes and see how it goes?

And maybe it turns out that that is the play. But I just think that you're just, you're watering down the DCU a bit because people are going to compare and say the other one's better. But maybe you say, who cares? They're still both making money. Who gives us shit? If you're still making money hand over fist, then who cares? But I guess the genuine concern is exactly what you said. If you put yourself in a position where one is outperforming the other and doing it in a way that's actually a hindrance, that's exactly what will happen is a call is going to come down and being like, this is this thing needs to go away.

Right. Or, you know, we're only going to do this from now on. I I I it's funny enough people like oh why can't you like separate the difference like of the people should be able to tell the difference between the two batmans and whatever else I think that only works in a place is if DC were truly healthy and in a space where you feel just crushing left and right if but they have been it's been a role but for both Marvel and DC but specifically DC it's been a roller coaster ride so you can't there's there's no room for side quests right now. You need to figure out what the main plot line is and get that kind of settled in how you, what direction you want to go with these IPs. So all that being said with Matt Reeves, does this not then just kind of more guarantee whatever Poison Ivy show? Well, I thought that was canceled, wasn't it?

Or was that already canceled? I thought that that was. Was it a rumor that it wasn't canceled? I don't know. There's so many different report. It's a lot going on. I don't know. But if we re-up this deal, you know, people are going to want to say.

see and here's the other side of it. Maybe he doesn't do a DC related show with his deal. Maybe he does a freaking, you know, we can't do apes because that's Fox, but like maybe he does something else in general and puts together some other TV show that's not DC. You know, like that, I mean, he just,

because it's not crazy to say, look, look what this guy's doing. Look what he did. I mean, remember, he produced Penguin. He didn't, he wasn't directing any of, episodes but he produced it and and what if he was like okay well we want him to produce more and he did a really great job producing penguin and then here's another IP we we have over here would you want to produce that it's not it's not a done deal that it just because he signed that means oh we're getting

penguin season two right it would make sense considering all the awards and stuff that they had and then i think that it's just a matter also of Colin farrell wants to put that makeup back on too you know that too because I can only imagine how how how did you do that on purpose that was I mean it's probably not as bad at say a secret or a Grinch what's what's wrong I was going to pitch in

poison Ivy was pitched but it and Catwoman were both pitched and they were both passed on both passed on all right thank you yeah but you're not crazy though Winston where that report did seem like it was going on and then it was just kind of lost in the shuffle I remember something going and then something being canceled but I was I thought that it was still in the air,

and maybe this was the thing that was, like, pushing it over the edge. But, but, well, we'll see. So before I'm moving, because I want to get into this Paul Walker thing, but before we do that, so what are your thoughts on the Gorilla Grod people versus Jimmy Olson versus everybody else and dancing around in the town?

I didn't necessarily love the idea of the show, but I was able to like, okay, I'll give it a shot, like, based off of what I heard. And then I saw the dancing college acapella shit, and I was like, God, damn it. Well, this is what I'll say about that, too, because, you know, when it comes to that type of tone, because everyone tells me how intimidating Grilla Grod was supposed to be as a villain, right? Now, the only thing I'll say about that, and you know better than anyone else, too, when it comes to filming, that could be that singing and dancing thing could be maybe six seconds of a video that they show of his past when he's sitting in jail after the murder of his father and they say, well, you know, well, you always, well, wasn't always like this. When he was younger, he did this. When he was younger, he was involved in

this. And he was even singing and doing this. And he, and it's five seconds or six seconds. Which is, which is fair. But that's purely why that's the type of thing that's funny and works as a surprise. This is why the idea of set photos leaking is annoying. Because now hearing that that's there has set an awful tone in my brain without the context. I fully, agree with you no context you have to keep that in mind yeah but there is a reason like when we talk about anything you could say like Christian you could literally be prepping to bring penny barbara on for the show right and if you just happen to have her Instagram open and wife he walks by what the fuck are you looking at I'm literally working this is this is work I'm not doing anything

sketch but the optics look bad right right I'm saying research the optics look bad here Right. Yeah, totally. I understand that. And the other side to further your point, and it's not their fault. As I've mentioned many times over, I've worked with Dan Peralt. He's brilliant. Those guys did Vandal and other things too. And it's questionable that you go, well, why are you bringing the guys in from Vandal to do a D.C. show? Like, what's your tone? And if you're doing that type of tone, those are the right guys to do it. I mean, it's just the question is, again, furthering your point.

Is that the tone you want to do right now? Um, because I don't, I don't, I don't, and because James Gunn answered this when we talked about this yesterday, but I don't really buy into the, well, you know, it's like comics. You go into a comic shop and on the left side is a real dark thing by Frank Miller or whatever and it goes and you, you dive into and then right out this, another side over here is another comic in the same universe. That's goofy and silly. Those are comic books. They're not setting into the same narrative that you're trying to get everybody to watch on, on television and a movie. That's the difference. If he's going that route to use that as an argument, you can make the argument if you go and look at DC or Marvel as a whole, especially when you bring it together. Yes, you are dealing with different characters. Like the number of times Deadpool has teamed up with Wolverine.

Wolverine is not a jokester. So, like, I'll give you that. But typically, as far as all of that is going, one, like you said, you're not starting off by saying we are taking these TV, shows these movies and they need to be able to collide together. You're trying to make a cohesive narrative with all of this is the first part. But then the second part is, if you know in the past, that hasn't necessarily always hit and people are already feeling kind of rocky. Why are you green lighting, that kind of stuff? What happened? I hope that the person is talking to me, but even if

they're not, I love this. It's like, who are you talking to? Like, is that like my 80 year old grandma? Oh, go fly a kite. I really appreciate it. I really do way more so than someone who just uses the same like, you know, tired insults or go there. But go fly a kite is great. And Brooke, are you talking to me? Because I hope so.

I love go fly a kite. Oh, he said it earlier. He said, instead of telling people to kiss my ass, I tell him, go fly a kite. go fly a kite good good I love that oh I love it I love it go fly a kite it's like it really it's like it's like that old video that

they pull back the this footage it must be from like the 80s and they go up to this old man and he's like he's real pissed off at the reporter and he's like you're a crumbum you're a real crumbum look it up it's great have ever seen it feel they see if you can find the crumbum

you're a real Crumbum. And it's so good. I'm like, where's crumbum? We need crumbum back. Crumbum. Go fly a kite, you crumbum. Anyway, all right, let's move on to this because this is a topic that is super interesting in general. They're talking about Paul Walker, again, the late Paul Walker suggested for coming in on Fast Forever using AI. You hear me? Okay, I just, I reset my. roadcaster because someone said it was quiet. It's right in the middle of the

intro, just test your mic. That works. Well, it was fine and then all of a sudden somebody said it was quiet. Until I'm done with the story. Hello? Hello? Huh? Hello?

Hello? Paul Walker's brother, Cody, says he isn't interested in helping digitally resurrect his late brother for fast forever. That's the end of it. That's the end of it. Right there. That's the end of it.

Paul died in 2013, partway through production on Furious 7, leading to his younger brother Cody and Caleb, helping complete the film by standing in for the late actor. Digital face replacement was used for select scenes, including the film's famous ending off and seen as the franchise's best moment. His character, Brian O'Connor, hasn't been seen since, only discussed by other characters or hinted at. Ben Diesel has hinted that Brian could return for the upcoming 11th and final installment. Speaking with EW., Cody Walker says if that's the case, it won't be with him. My stance is what Paul Daughters Meadow wants to see Dunn is her father.

I would not be interested in doing that again. I love the way his character exited the franchise. They didn't kill him off. They didn't do something cheesy like that. It's beautiful. Brian is off raising his kids. But if they want to do that, if Meadow would like to see that, they don't need me or Caleb. AI was not a thing back in 2014 so they could do that.

There are years of footage that was never used from these other fast films. They're the best in the business. They can figure that out. Both Walker brothers expressed an interest in return. turning to continue the legacy of their late sibling, hoping to have a little cameo and bring Paul back to save the day. They said, Caleb at the time thought Cody had it would take a lot, though, and it'd have to be tasteful.

Fast forever slated open March 17, 2028. There's a lot of questions on whether it's going to make the date. Okay, so I guess there's a little bit, a little bit more to that. If it was his entire family saying, you know, he didn't necessarily say the brothers didn't necessarily say, no, we're not up. They're not up for that, right? but I said if his daughter wants to do it, then fine, but we're not going to be involved.

Because that's another story of his daughter wants to be involved. That's part one. My problem with the AI side of it, too, when it comes to these things, I don't have the same kind of stance as everyone else when it comes to everything AI is, when it comes to this stuff is, is AI slop. That's what we're supposed to say, right? AI slop. There are things that could be useful for it. There are things. Now, this would be AI slop.

This would be slopped. But let me tell you why. But let me tell you why. Because it has not been perfected at all. Have you seen the Val Kilmer stuff? No. The trailer, it looks the same as if when they do the Luke Skywalker videos, they look great until they start talking.

And it's all the same. There's no emotion to it. There's nothing to it. And that would take away so much from what they did with the Paul Walker thing at the end there, of him just going, Hey guys, what do you think? Oh, well, yes, I could be there. I will race too for family.

And it's like, it looks good. It looks good, but it looks, but it's, but it's shit. It, it, they have not perfected it yet. What my problem is, is this. Do you, did you, are you a Black Mirror fan? No, everyone says I'd love it. But no. You, in all honesty, I think what you and Sam need to do for your next reaction stuff,

you need to watch Black Mirror. Not for a while. Yeah, but maybe eventually. You all would, especially as much of a sci-fi person you are, if she likes horror, all that, you would absolutely fucking love Black Mirror. Yeah. All that being said, most of what Black Mirror is, the easiest way to describe it, is the Twilight Zone for like the digital age.

So like dealing with social media and computers and all this other stuff. And there is a point at which people cannot get over the idea of the end or grieving the loss of somebody so they go and get this computer or AI replicate that's not the same and it's this idea of not being able to healthily move on.

If we keep doing this thing, if we start going down this path where we keep using AI all the time to bring people back like it was weird to bring back Tupac as a hologram back in the day when that happened. That wasn't even AI, right. That was at Coachella and shit. If we don't learn how to let shit go, we're

actually going to lose what makes us human. Two, besides that, have you heard these reports over the last couple days about AI? Well, that it'll kill us all with by the end of the decade. Yeah, that too. Well, I mean, that, I think that's the lead is the fact that, I mean, like, not currently. So people, people have been running around saying, like, oh, if it continues in kind of just don't know what you're saying, right? If they, if they continue doing these, like, building this out, this super intelligence in the way that it's doing, you're, you're just writing James Cameron's movies. literally is what you're doing and James Cameron this is what he this is what he set up back in 84

a thousand percent and the fact and the fact that this is all in the name of money is just like so crazy but it makes perfect sense and in you had high level engineers and execs quit these companies and go no we saw the models and where this was going if we don't slow down AI could theoretically and the fact that you have the piece of shit Sam Altman and then you have Elon sitting here being like oh is there a real

possibility of a skydada that we can do it is like yeah you know like a 20 30% chance but whatever it's fine but that's I want to say you see that so you weren't on the show but did you see the trailer for you remember you guys had that whole thing about Luca and saying how the movie like

Mike didn't want to support that movie because he was doing an AI fully movie but it turned out that it was actually about the creation of AI. Oh, no, yeah, okay. So that trailer came out with Andrew Garfield, and it's essentially the, it looks like the social network, but it's like, it looks, I mean, neon pictures picked it up, and it looks really good and terrifying at the same time. So, but anyway, I just don't think that right now, if you go back outside of the not using AI responsibly could be dangerous for the human race, which I completely agree with. if you look at it in the entertainment spectrum of things, it's going to be used for certain things.

There's no doubt about it. Now, this, though, like, I'll watch some of those Star Wars videos and things that they do, like Skywalker stories and other things. Like, it's hard for me to invest in them all the time because they, I just, I'm so aware of the AI side of it. There's no emotion in the characters. And that's what will start to happen when they're just like, well, it looks real good.

that one guy got us. So let's Paul Walker. We'll do a young Bruce Wolves. We'll do a new diehard movie. We'll do all this stuff. It's not there yet. But the crazy thing is it will be. I mean, it will be. But then again, like I, where I, this isn't even from a standpoint of like, as an actor working towards stuff. It's just from the standpoint of think about all the things that if you just never let something go. And it doesn't even have to be a loved one or anything like that. I'm just saying like, a game you like, a book, a place you like to visit. Think about all the new shit you would have never gotten. If we go down this path of we're going to retread the same actors that already died and aren't here anymore,

or anything else like that, you are literally cutting yourself off from experiencing new fucking things and finding new actors and writers and directors that can bring, like, I vehemently cannot stand the idea of this. Yeah, I understand it. It's just, you know, it's, the matter, the question is going to be when it happens, right? Really, that's, that's going to be, because once they, once they actually perfect it, like, there are, there are a few programs that have done it way better than others. I've seen Seinfeld stuff and I've seen friend stuff. They may, like, people have written, like, and it was, it was tough to differentiate between the two of them.

I mean, it really was. Like the stuff that I saw, the Val Kilmer stuff and the Star Wars stuff that you see, the robotic stuff, this was, I don't know what program these people were using, but this Seinfeld stuff that they were using, the old episodes and they had like Jerry doing something. And it was, it was crazy like that and the stuff with, there's Chandler and Joey sitting down having a conversation with each other. What episode is this? And it was AI. And it was that, those two fooled me. Those two fooled me. Anyway.

Lord of Jesus. All right. We're going to move on to questions. We're going to see if Winston can take out Roxy and Mike today and win the week. Can he be the comeback kid and have a big question extravaganza?

We shall see. Winston, as you know, as we've been talking about it, every show, we've got the trending campaign is launching on the 22nd. It's myself and Martini. I mean, the video, by the way, we have a video that we

are launching on the Kickstarter and Smets is actually doing a polish of it right now. And he showed me some of the stuff that he was working on. It's really good. I can't wait to debut it for everybody. But one of the reasons that was is that I sent this video that he sent to me. He made for me for one of the things that we're offering on the Kickstarter. And Martini and Freed loved it so much.

I like, well, will you do a polish on the main video? I was like, yeah. So I don't know if you've seen this Winston, but let me show you. How long have you said, I want to start a YouTube channel that you just haven't done it. Maybe you don't know what the channel is going to be about. Maybe you're thinking about equipment. Maybe you're thinking about thumbnails. Maybe you're thinking about titles.

What is your first video even going to be about? And eventually you spent so much time trying to figure everything out that you actually never even hit that report button. And that's why I created this 40-day creator challenge. I spent years building various YouTube channels, making content, hosting shows, doing interviews, and learning what works. And most importantly, making a lot of mistakes along the way. So over the course of 40 days, I'm going to help you find you. Build your channel. Figure out your equipment, get comfortable on camera, create thumbnails and titles, understand analytics, and actually publish your videos.

You know, this isn't something where I want you sitting around to just watch hours and hours of lessons. You're going to have something to actually do. You're not going to spend 40 days learning how to become a YouTuber. You're going to spend 40 days becoming it. So if you're waiting to finally start your YouTube channel, this is it. This is the right time. Join me for the 40-day creator challenge, and let's build the channel together. Come on.

We'll have a blast. It's pretty good. So, and that's, the shit out of that. Yeah, so that's going to be, that's going to be on the Kickstarter, or that'll be a tier that people can do. And you can,

people sign up to that. That'll be one of the things to, to look into. So, um, man, yeah, you,

you, look, I have to give you a lot of credit because I have seen a lot of Kickstarter campaigns over the years. And you are really putting, meticulous detail and effort into this. And that, that tends to bode very well for the actual success of the campaign, man.

I appreciate that. Yeah, it's like we're, we're working on it. And Craig's been working real hard. We, we have those tears that he sent a bunch of them yesterday, to put in a couple touches on them. And I think that we're going to be able to launch those fairly soon.

I don't know if we can do it, like if they want to do it right before it launches or day of or go over them, the day before we launched. I don't know, but we got a lot going on. And this isn't like a surprise because at this point we've already announced it, but, but Freed will be coming into the live stream on the 22nd as Will Martini. I'm hoping that the another announcement will happen on that stream too, so we can do some more stuff. So it's going to be like a really big day. So we're going to answer the question. But before we do, it would be kind of remiss if we didn't bring it up. I posted this morning. I always talk about, um, this is always a

very tough day for everybody. It's a tough day for me as well. When I, when I was growing up, my buddy Brian Cashio was, he was a kid I went to school with. And he was the first, he had like laser discs back in the day. He was, he was into the comic book stuff, but he was, he was, he was one who showed me like Terminator when I was, I didn't know how old I was. And he introduced me to George Carlin for the first time. And, and he was the kid that I always felt was instrumental in me not because when you're when you're growing up and if anyone the first to eighth grade you might kind of bring your your creativity and feel like oh even yesterday was not a parent they were like they

thought because you're they're hanging out with kids and thinking well I'm singing and I'm doing this they're not thinking I'm not cool I'm not this they don't do they repress their their creativity that when I hung out with Brian I never felt that way we just felt like I had like we would we used to do like fake radio show and we used to do like we would do it for hours we would just on cassette tapes like

DJ stuff or fake albums or comedy albums and we were super young third fourth fifth grade and he was just that guy and he was and it carried over even until high school I'll touch a little bit but still it was before Facebook

and all that was kind of reconnecting people but when I started working for the WVE and then I had seen him a couple of times. He came to a few of my comedy shows when I was at performing at the Boston Comedy Club. He would come see me and this is a New York club that was called the Boston Comedy Club

that was run with Barry Cats. And I used to perform there and he used to come down there and we would hang out for a little bit, get a drink. And I saw him in Queens a couple of times. So I'd seen him a bunch of we'd keep touch where we could. And then when I was working for the WWE, and I had gotten an email

from him and we were going back and forth. And I was like, yeah, you know, back in this area because I had flown from L.A. Then I was living in Stanford, Connecticut for a bit. And I had said, you know, we should meet up. He's like, yeah, I just started a new job, you know, and he'd been there for a little bit. Unfortunately, the job was Cantor Fitzgerald at, you know, the World Trade Center. And on, and I went up going back from WWE back to L.A., and we were still, you know, hoping to keep in touch.

And then the events happened on 9-11, and I hadn't heard anything. and I was working at, I went back to work at like CPK, and I'll never kind of forget this. It's kind of a, I'm sorry to be a downer to people at this point for the story, but I was walking home and my dad, who I never hear cried, was crying. And he was telling me that he had just gotten a message from Brian's fiance, that Brian was caught in the towers. And he was on the 103rd floor when the first plane hit. So that one kind of took me out.

And it was weird because I remember being, I mean, I kind of like, went down to one knee at one point then i went back into the uh to cbk in the back where they had this fresh i was sitting at the booth and um and i was there and people were comforting me and i'll never forget this range of emotions that i had where i was there and i was i was sobbing you know i just found out of them my best friends had just died and then i saw somebody pointing at me and like laughing at me and I look up and I had this rage, Winston, that I had never felt before, but then I quickly realized that the guy was special needs and he wasn't laughing at me. He was giving me comforting energy. And it was so strange how I knew it. I knew it from the anger. It went away instantly because I saw it in

his eyes, he was trying, his, whoever he was with was just kind of trying to take him to the side or whatever too. But he was like, he couldn't really talk in a way, but I could feel it. It was bizarre. But anyway, I had found out, you know, it was crushing because I didn't, it found through his, fiance, that Brian was trying to get in touch me again because he wanted me to be in the wedding party and all these things that happened. And, and then it was before Facebook. It was before this and I know, like, I guarantee you guys that. Like the way that I brought Sam into the fray by Hick Ming, he would have been to my co-host. He would have been my co-host because this is like we're dreams that we would have had.

So it's a crushing day for everybody today. And I am obviously one of thousands and thousands of people who lost people that day. And we all just didn't even lose anybody. You still felt the impact of it. So it is a day that people should not forget. It is a very important day. And my heart and it goes out to everybody on this day just as just as human beings, really. So anyway, I guess that's really all I can do as far as transitioning into the next thing.

So if you guys want to help Winston out today. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that, man. Yeah, man. You got it. Because it's it's so interesting knowing that a lot of the younger generation just because they weren't born or they were just born. It doesn't hit the same way.

And, and, you know, I remember being in a state of panic because there was concern that my mom had gotten swept up in all of it. She was in New York. Oh, was she? Okay.

And I got, we got very lucky. She had gone to the World Trade Center early that morning to pick up the last few things for, she was doing a project for, um, uh, Exxon.

They were doing a back to school like thing or whatever. So she picked up some last stuff and had already left Manhattan to go to one of the boroughs. But then I'm in class and we see that happen on TV and I'm in a state of panic because I'm sure you remember, all the phone lines were down everywhere because everybody was terrified.

I did not hear from my mom for almost 24 hours and assumed the worst only to find out that she was okay. She'd gotten away from it and then she couldn't get a flight at all. Nobody was trying to fly. So she ended up driving from New York back to Texas just so she could get back home. It was a crazy time. It was.

But, all right, well, here's the good news, Winston. You're a crumb creep. I want to fight you. You don't have the courage. You're a real crumbum. Put that on camera. You're a creep. I'll fight you right now, bitch, what are we doing?

How great. What do you think about that? You're a crumbum. You're a crumbum. You're a real, I mean, he really bitched him, though. You're a crumb creep. I want to fight you. You don't have the courage.

You're a real crumbum. You're a real crumbum. It really is great. Crumbum. All right, let's see. Let's go to the next one. Or first one. You're what it means.

Did Winston see Batman Nightfall Part 1? I'll tell you who did see it. I just got it yesterday. That's actually what I'm planning on doing this afternoon is watching Nightfall. I heard it's a fantastic, man. So Matt Sarah just put a reaction to that on his channel. So people should go watch that. Oh, nice.

Okay. Nathan Drake, just go see Resident Evil with Paul Walter Hauser. Well, the problem is that where we are, at the time that I'm interviewing him, by the time that it's over, the screening will be starting. So if I try to get from where it is to where the screening is, I'll be 45 minutes late to the screening. There's no way. There's just no way. I tried mapping it out of my head.

I was like, this is no way. And I don't want to move. Paul again because he yeah I just I just can't do it I can't and I'd rather get that with him and then I'll I'll have to do reaction to it which is fine Ron H happy Friday it's

Thrust and into media with BBC Ebony this episode BBC on the casting couch sinning with Angel or not Winston Winston yeah I mean this is BBC the casting couch

I look how you're trying to make sense out of this I don't I'm trying to I don't know. I don't know. That's fair. I love slippers. 200 Jules. Jammin. That made that made some. Ronnie, here he is. Okay. Horror film Hope looks good. May watch. Yeah, you know, there was another one that I, that's another one that I'll probably have to do.

The action series, what I will say is with the, as much as I appreciate what Winston said, with the Kickstarter, is that it's been taking up so much time that I've been missing certain things, certain emails, certain screenings like that Hope screening, I had to miss it because I'm also doing reactions with Sam that it's taking me out of being able to get into the city. I missed quite a few screenings, but I'm going to make sure that they pick back up in October. Armada, 8YT.

Started Widows Bay last night, pretty good and funny. Yeah, I want to see that one too. I haven't watched it. I haven't checked that out. Ron H. On my walk,

dance yesterday. That's even better. Talk with someone whose friend is holding a 9-11 party. Damn, the U.S. Ken relationship of strain. Still love you guys. Oof.

Well. I mean, what, because what the, I guess, we're to tear it for now, a trade war. with Canada.

But that's, yeah, I don't know to talk about that. That's, that's. Yeah. Fiona George, I hate to be this person, but Winston, your sound is a bit low. I guess it's better now. It was a while ago, I guess.

Okay. Ron H. In D&D terms, Ron H is chaotic, good. What are you? I don't know what you do all of them. I would probably be, well,

Christian, you would be, you would be probably chaotic, neutral. I don't know what that means. Meaning, meaning that like, so, Are you aware of the D&D kind of scale and shit like that and how that works? Kind of not really.

Yeah. Chaotic chaotic neutral, the idea of like you can kind of lean both ways and whatnot and that like letting stuff just kind of having like yeah, okay, sure, fuck it, why not? Yeah, all right. I think that's probably where you're at. Bobby, I think you let Reeves do a trilogy and any shows in between before it all goes away. In parallel, Gunn should have a DCU Batman going at least, then we have a definitive plan in place. I agree with that in theory. I mean, I agree with that in theory. It's like if

if you're going to go all in on a certain universe and you brought in these guys to run your universe, then on paper, you should say, okay, let's go. Everything else, we had this trilogy. We had this deal. Do your trilogy. Everything else is on hold. Go with the DCU go. The problem is that once the guy puts out a TV show, there's Emmys all over the place. And people love it. And people like, if you put the penguin up against Peacemaker Season 2, people are going to say the penguin.

If you put the penguin up against lanterns, I think some people would say lanterns, but I think quality-wise, I think penguin's a better show. I like lanterns a lot. I like lanterns a lot. The answer is great. It's really good. But the penguin is a better show.

So far, just because it's done. I think, I think it's hard to do. do that only in the sense of with one being complete then yeah we you know what I mean? Totally but my point of it is you can even have the conversation. You could, yes, yes, yes, yes. The problem is that you can have the conversation and you shouldn't have the conversation.

Johnny Matreza, broad dancing could be in Jimmy's head. That's another, that's very totally fair. It could be in his head. It could be a flashback. It could be there's a number of different, but again, it's just optics. Yeah. You just. got to see uh ron h darn people give me heck i wish i'd all go fly a kite those freaking crumbums enough of this do hicky nonsense car sorry for cursing you're a real crumbum you're a real crumbum you're a real crumbum uh dill the pickle hey winson i'm curious what you think is going on with

kendrick and this trey parker movie lots of delays do you think it gets released i hope it does because those are that's that's two sets of creative minds because i know it's what's trey parker and matt stone doing, I believe it, with Kendrick. I think that they as a collective trio would make something incredible. But I, you know, Kendrick obviously got a little busy

a couple years ago. And so there's, and then went on tour. So I don't know if maybe that threw a wrench in it. I don't know if Matt and Trey with the resurgence of South Park, if that did it. But, but I hope it gets done because it did sound like it was going to be a funny project.

Two away from 2,270, so 32 away from 2300. We hope that you guys will, again, hopefully that everybody in here, I hope the answer is when I'm already signed up. If you're already signed up, then that makes sense. If you're not, I don't know why you hate me. Ron H. South Park Polar Chump to be renamed South America

for new season. Trey and Stone never pull punches. Blame Canada. Respect my authority. Yeah. I saw that dude. They named South America. that shit is hilarious. That's funny.

Yeah, it is funny. Ray Dominguez, on the Paul Walker stuff, I hope you all have the ability to squeeze a dollar out of me, even I'm cold and buried. Yeah, I mean, look, that is the thing, though,

when we've talked about this, is that if I, and that's why I brought up, like Paul Walker's daughter. Paul Walker's daughter was like, yeah, I'd want to see that, and I'd want my dad to be, maybe she's got a different stance on AI.

Maybe she, maybe to her, it's almost like, Ironheart, you know, like where bringing back your friend in a certain way, it gives you some kind of closure. And that's, so if his daughter, then it is what it is. Because what I will tell you is that if that, if I would 100% leave my likeness to my children and say, hey, yeah, they want to use my voice and they want to do these things and

you guys can make some money off it after I'm gone and you feel like you want to do that, then the choice is yours. I would 100% do that for them to make sure that they could profit off of it. Yeah, I mean, I get it, and I'm not going to tell somebody what they do, obviously, with their own memory and remains, especially when it comes to their family. Like, that's their business. But as far as, if you take that out of the micro and go then back to the macro, there is something, in my opinion, very wrong with that. Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. I'm just saying as far as, like, you know, if it was going to have, if I knew that monetarily it was going to help my children when I was gone.

Of course. I would be up for it. Ron H. Don't we all want AI slots? I know Mike does. It's still my favorite thing. And he still doesn't. It's like the best is when you challenge him on it.

He's got no argument for it. No, man, it was an ad. It was for what website? But then I said, no, it wasn't that he said it was an ad. Because it clearly was an ad. It clearly was an ad. But it's what he, it's where he said. He's like, oh, I follow Penny Barber and it pops up.

And I'm like, we all, me, Roxy, we all follow it. That never happens to them. And then I said, that's, that's not true. And then he's like, well, you know, come on. And when Roxy said it, he's like, what do you want me to tell you? And then I told her. And she's like, he threw me under the, she's like, throw me under the bus saying it was mine. I saw the interview, bro.

That shit was hilarious. Yeah, it was hilarious. Maddie Bay. I love the Fast and a Furious franchise, but should have ended it with seven. It was perfect ending. It was fine with them continuing and have Brian and me retire. What are they ever? Is this 10 coming up now?

No, 10 already happened. This is like 11. Is it? Yeah. Because fast text, remember? Yeah, this is, this is, the 11th one in the main saga, the 12th movie if you include Hobbs and Shaw. Yeah, Maddie B, but they kept bringing me back for dangerous missions, what Brian's off screen with the kids makes no sense of Brian will let that happen.

I mean, a lot of the movies in general don't make sense anymore, too. But I hear what you're saying. Ron H. AI, we get Jew Law, AI, 2001, or Twiki Buck Roger, 79. I want to get close with either. No Robocop or Terminator, please. Let's F and go. Yeah, I know. I mean, the problem is you're going to get closer.

to Terminator. You're getting closer and closer to Terminator and the Matrix. Skynet, man. Yeah, Dill the Pickle. World Trade Center, 2006 was a very good movie today. It is really good movie. It's tough for me to watch, obviously. The one that I was a big fan of, but like just was too emotional for me to really watch was United 93. Oh, that's it. That movie is really hard to watch. It's a great movie. Once is, once is enough for me. The ending is, is super powerful um but it's great um it just is yeah it's a tough one to watch so ed this was the morning of my roofing accident oh man i was in the er when the first plane hit for three hours i thought my sister was gone oh this is tough ed she was one of the heads of hr canter oh and forgot she was

on maternity leave oh thank goodness that she was on maternity leave um yeah i wonder i wonder if i wonder if she knew brian i wonder if she knew brian because he because he was he was he was uh he did computer um he was like he was he was just really he was always good with computer so he was you know what the shitty thing is once i didn't bring this up too when he was supposed to work that day they they called him in or they called them into uh to work because they were having computer issues and he went into he went into help because he was like the computer guy he was really good yeah it's terrible you know shimitsu i have a friend from elementary school who's the first person in my life to make me feel safe and comfortable being myself today is his birthday that's amazing

a happy birthday to him. It's amazing how much impact people can have. It's true. Honestly, man. Yeah. Honestly. Mike Joyce, does YouTube changing how it counts, views help or hurt you? I think it's been a little of both. Helping in the fact that obviously for you look at, for the live show and for sponsors and everything to, you want to make sure that you're reaching a certain amount of people and the fact that people

are seeing it, like, that helps. I don't think that it brings in the same type of traffic to help with subscribers. in the way that it was beforehand, and monetarily it hasn't changed really at all. So it's more like, you know, I think it's more of a vanity thing for people than anything else right now. It's nothing, it's not a hurt or help, I think, more so if that helps. Nathan Drake, I'm getting back into rivals and see all these new characters. Winston, who is White Fox and Devil Dinosaur?

Are they popular in characters? Moongrown Devil Dinosaur. Yeah, the newer, popular now. They had a TV show that lasted for a couple of seasons. I'm not familiar with White Fox. I did get back into rivals myself, man, and it's been a fucking trip because it's the same issue. I took such a long time off. It's been trying to learn so many new controls and characters.

It's been nuts. But yeah, Devil Dinosaur and Moongirl, man. Moongirl is the, she's actually considered the smartest person in the universe. She's like, I think she's what? and like Reed is blown away by how smart this child is. And, and, you know, I hear Gary of Devil Dinosaur to kick ass. So, now, definitely look into Devil Dinosaur and Moongirl. It's a fun, it's a fun duo.

Fiona George 95, that was a while ago, but Winston's sound still sounds quite low. I don't know what you guys are hearing. He sounds fine to me. Does sound low to you, POD? Sounds fine to me. That's the only part that I keep getting confused about. I don't get it. It isn't the first time that I've heard something like this,

but everybody that I'm like on with is like he sounds fine. I don't know. You sound perfectly fine to me. Yeah, I don't have. I mean, I would tell you I don't, it doesn't sound low to me. Nathan Drake, John Stewart likes the molder, huh? Sure does. Hey, man.

Hey, she's hot. Hey, bro. Yeah. Let's see. Where is it? The Lil Yankee. Sorry for your loss 25 years ago, Christian. Thank you, Le Yankee.

And anyone else that lost, never forget 9-11. Hard to watch the subway series tonight, despite the Yanks magic number is four. I know, you know, I was going to try to go to the game, one of the games, but I just, I just don't have it at the moment to schedule wise, time wise to go and do it. But I'm probably going to, I might, I might go to, you know, because it's getting so crazy once like Tuesday of next week hits, because with the interviews and screenings and reactions it would take the Sam, Monday might be going on my next, my last free day for like two months. So I might go to the, I might go to the baseball game on

Monday night just to kind of relax for a second before the craziness happens. Yeah, dude, you got to do it. As a matter of fact, I got to look into trying to go to a Dodger game. Yeah, and there's only a couple left, right? Yeah, because I was trying to go to at least one baseball game in here. I went when the Dodgers played the Yankees this year at Yankee Stadium. I went to that game.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I went to I went to a met game with my kids. Because I prefer, I mean, the Yankees are my team. But it's so easy to get the met games. And the stadium is, nicer. I like, I like City Field better than I like Yankee Stadium as much as I, it's a, my, my buddy says it. It's like, it's a nice mall. They sometimes play baseball and, um,

but that's for the Yankee Stadium. But I do like Yankee Stadium. I'm like going there. It's just, it's too, um, it's a, it's a, it's not as much of a process as I thought it was going to be. Sure. But it's so easy to get to, um, city field from where I live. But anyway, I took my, I took my daughters there. They had a really good time. And I go with my buddies who are Mets fans. And I, and I, also you know what the reason i think i like going to the games because i don't i don't get emotionally invested in the games like where i get emotionally invested in the freaking yankee games i don't want people to talk to me just want to watch the game i want to see what's going on and then if they

lose and that's pretty much going to lose so when i go i go i don't i don't know i'm just there to hang out my friends it's a good place to hang out no i mean the the it's funny because it used to be a tradition with with just like the homies we would always go to at least one game a year because like tickets didn't used to be expensive but now that they're the most expensive team in all of baseball. Yeah. With the, you know,

their cap and everything. It's true. I mean, yeah. Tickets or like because you used to be able to get tickets for 20 bucks. Like now at bare minimum, you're,

they look like Lakers numbers where you're looking at at least 80 to 100. Let's see. I was too right now. Oh, that's cool. So I think the Mets got out of fifth place though.

Oh, okay. Because they were in, let me see. I know they were in the shitter all, the whole year. But now, yeah, they surpassed the nationals. Nice.

So, I mean, that whole division is kind of not. I mean, well, I mean, yeah, I mean, they have a chance to, let's see, they have a chance to maybe get themselves in the third place. It'll be tough, but they could potentially do it, which would be a big thing for them. But the Yanks, though, they got judge back now, which is awesome. And it's got, like right now the Yanks are only three out of first place. They could still potentially get to, they could potentially surpass the race. But anyway, checking on.

in on the Kickstarter again if you guys aren't following it two away to you guys to get to 70 and i'm going to ask you now in the chat is everyone here already following yet yes or no and if you're at no let me upset with you uh just to follow you're not you're not committing to money by the way wouldn't help for me to unfollow and refollow no that's just going to no that doesn't i help um okay let's see next one Ron Ray I buy that for a dollar oh do you know what i watched last night on mr t has a documentary on netflix have you seen that uh no yeah it's like they they go over it was mr t you know the that's like that's like that's like my childhood man mr t like clover clover lang and russlemania and like all that say he people forget how big mr t was

like he was the man dude you know where they found him no he was a bouncer and he was on this actually have heard that he was on a tv show where they were like doing like the world's crazies or best bouncers and he was like they do like these contests and he would run from the freaking side and you gotta break up a fight and you run through the freaking door um but he was also he became a bodyguard and he was a bodyguard

and he was a bodyguard first for um for for the leon spinks was coming into town leon sphinx had just beaten mohammed ali and so leon spanks needed somebody just for a little bit and they were I don't know he was walking through and these guys were trying to fight him he just started throwing bombs these people like, all right, you're with us now. So they just kept T with him. And then he just got this reputation of being a great bodyguard.

And then Michael Jackson hired him. And then he started being a bodyguard from Michael Jackson. And then he was on that show. And Stallone saw him on the show. I was just like, and then he got rocky and that was it. I forget that. And it launched both Mr. T and Hogan into super stardom. Crazy.

Ride the Circle. Support for the Swaggy Bird. Go follow, y'all. 100 ready for the. the 22nd. That's amazing. Thank you so much. And that's a good tier for that's a good tier. I mean, I'm looking, let me see if I have it. No, I don't have it right now. But that's a good, that's a good, a good tier. Um, I'm thank you, right of the circle. Excited for that. I'm excited for everybody to see like first day, try to get that freaking. And remember for Schmodeown

peeps, you didn't know already. I think you already, most people do know. But if you get fully funded in one day, you're getting a 16 person tournament, fully funded in two. You get eight person tournament fully funded in three live event but as i said if we get funded at all in general within the 30 days we'll still do some kind of shmow down regardless nice um okay let's see yeah we got to see i'm trying to think if there's any are there any swag are they swag people yet real talk yeah let's let's just say we're gonna we're gonna go from a standpoint nobody died nobody died let's just say that like dan merle and and sam both have move to the opposite sides of the planet and they don't

look at the internet anymore and anything else like that. I would not want to see an AI version of them play the Schmodeown. Well, sure. That's not. Well, that's, that's a whole different thing, right? Because you basically just watching computer programs answer trivia. Right. I'm watching computer

programs, like, try and be human and it's not. Yeah, I understand. It's a good point. It's a good point. I understand what you're saying. Like, I'm not trying to watch AI Michael Jordan play against LeBron. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. Sounds pretty cool.

All right. Let's see. Armada, A.YT. Speak up. Do you see that when that happened? Yeah, everybody caught that. John Stewart accident slipped.

I caught that quick. I was like, oh, you heard that slip off. I was confused for a second. I was like, uh, it happens. It happens. Let's say.

Still the pickle. With how far AI has come, it's interesting to look back on CGI Tarkin and Rogue One. It's so bad. Very controversial. of the time. Now we have whole AI phantoms. Yeah. But it looks so bad. Like that and the

Luke Skywalker in Mandalorian, like end of season two is atrocious. It's atrocious. I just watched it again with Sam recently. Now, the flip side of that is that the CGI in

the Boba Fed episodes with Luke is incredible. It's incredible. Now, what's funny is they're using Mark camel's voice and it's not necessarily AI, but it sounds the same as the AI stuff. Okay, Grogu, what is it that you're learning? Think, Grogu, I knew someone just like you. He spoke like you. His name was Yoda. And it's like it there's it's it they just haven't, you know, even with the stuff that they were doing with the voices because it was they were using like

the Luke's actual voice. It, it just was it, it sounds robotic. But the CGI has come a long way. for sure. Ron. I mean, it has. Yeah. Necromancer TV series coming January 2027. Johnny Nemonic 95 is okay.

Think a film set in that world would work. The game. Seapunk 277 is popular. I don't know. That's a Winston question, I guess. Oh, Cyberpunk 277. I mean, potentially, I could see it working.

But I don't know, man. You obviously don't want to stop anything in the gaming industry, but it's in a weird kind of toss-up, because I'm sure you've heard all this stuff where PlayStation just keeps, like, taking L's right now, right? Yes. Like, you heard, like, that they... Yeah, they're doing this. Other than the Noghizu, they just recently broke ties with Hideo Kajima, which is fucking

insane. Like, that's been one of their biggest, you know, producers for years. Like, this is supposed to be, like, the spiritual successor to Metal Gear for him. Like, I don't know, man. And the Warverine game, I heard. is due to water. Oh yeah, we didn't go over that today. Yeah, I heard it was not good though.

Okay, that's good to know. But I know that they're stinking up to join right now PlayStation with the way they're handling. To the point where like Xbox wasn't dead. Yeah. But Xbox was definitely taking enough losses that it was like, oh, this might be like this, this console war thing might finally be over between the two of them.

And then PlayStation almost was like, you know what? I'm tired of winning. Fuck this. It's true. was Frankie Alvarez on swag? That's a good question. Maybe. I don't remember. Why?

Because he is, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, there's two people who come back to the tournament. Oiyama and Frankie Alvarez. Yama, Yama, Yama's just tough to, you mean, I mean, he, you know, to be fair to Paul. Paul, Paul used to fly from Hawaii to play in the schmowdown, um, on his own dime. Um, I think a couple times we flew him out, maybe when he was champ. I'm pretty sure he lives stateside now. Oh, does he?

I believe so. I haven't spoken to him since the Shmonaut, so I'm not sure. But he was a hell of a competitor. He really was. He was really good. Oh, you know what? I was Ronan Alvarez. He was on Sam's.

He was on legal suspects, wasn't he? Okay. Yeah, I didn't think so. He didn't seem like a swag guy. But you're pretty confident about that, nodding your head up and down for a while saying, you know, that's it. And you realize, oh, wait a minute. I just that I was a crumb bum. You are a real crumbum bum.

Go pal, gifted five memberships. Thank you, go pal. Again, with the memberships, man, we got a lot of unedited reactions. We have a live stream. Oh, shoot, we're going to have to do the live stream. PLD probably, I would say probably closer to the end of the month because we'll, I mean, we'll be in the thick of it. You know, we'll be in the thick of it, but still, we get to go.

Eric Kirby, Christian, get a damn eyeglass rope for your glasses whenever you do the show. What's an eyeglass rope? You put, you put on the Oh, thing in the back. Too hard to do that though because I got the headphones on. You can afford it. Winston, year and a half still waiting for White Dog. So I did have, that was the one thing.

I was going to wait until I did my plug, but I can do it right now. So I, it was White Dog was one of them. The other one was a couple weeks ago. I said I would do the live action one piece. So here's what I'm doing for right now because all of that to be edited is on me. I don't have the disposable income to pay an editor. So what I'm doing for my members and my patrons, because I do have both of those set up for my channel and whatnot,

I will be doing these reactions to both. White Dog will put in there, but I'll do it also for one piece. That'll all be unedited for my members and whatnot to be able to go and watch themselves. And then as I have time to be able to actually edit these things down, then I will release them for people once they're edited and stuff like that. Nathan Drake,

you ever see the video of John Gotti's neighbors reacting to being convicted? Did, yeah, what murder? I have not seen that. Oh, my God. Can you find that pill? They, he, Saul probably has it on his phone. It's, he's like, they ask him, they go, he's a great guy. What about the murder?

What murder? It's the best. Yeah, I have seen it. That's what you're talking about. Dill the pickle gifted five memberships. That's huge. More memberships. I really like that.

And then we get Ron, pillory. that dickle going all Derek Johnson. Where's DJ been? I haven't seen DJ. Yeah, Nathan Drake, Batman's design of Nightfall, so good. They really like that movie. Sarah loved it. I mean, I've heard incredible things, so I can't wait.

Screw face. What's up, man? Random. YouTube's been checking my video from this morning for like three hours. Have you or Winston had any issue uploading today? I have one. This morning? Yeah, you have a problem? I'll keep it out. I didn't have a problem. I don't, yeah. For blards. No, I've got, I love Luke so

much, but he does this thing that he'll do the description where he puts it in there. But I always put my, and he, he does this too, I'll put the sponsor in there first, and Luke just cuts some pace and just goes right away. They're racist. I'm going to go, damn it. I got to get that sponsor link again. But no, I don't, I'm not having a problem with, with uploads right now. I mean, I hope that I don't, but I'll be on a lookout for it.

No, for sure. Screw face. I'm sorry, dude. I know, I know you're running a lot of stuff. Is it still? Is it still doing that for you? Dave Gibbo, 83. We ever do a free for all again?

I won't say never, say never. I love the free foralls. I loved them, you know, and they were a lot of fun to do, and they were our version of the Royal Rumble, you know, and it really worked well, and they were always fun. They were always exciting, and the audience really dug in this great live event to do. So I think the answer would be,

if there was a resurgence in general, of the Schmodeon where we would do tournaments and, and let's say, let's say we did the tournament and it does very well. And people get excited again to watch the Schmodeown, hypothetically. And he gets some money behind it. Yeah, sure. I would do one again. If that's, if that's the question. Screwface follows it up and says, if the Wolverine game isn't good, I'll be sick because I've been waiting for that game for years.

I've been too invested for it to be trash. Yeah, dude, it's, it's apparently like if you're, the gore and the look of it all, It looks great, but apparently they have like a almost like, it's supposed to be Wolverine scent, but it almost handhold you through absolutely everything. Apparently the fighting mechanics aren't that good or complicated, so you can't really get into a flow the way you did with like the Spider-Man games. Like if I've heard that like if you're big into video games, it sucks.

If you just kind of like video games, it's fine to like drone on. So, you know. Well, that's a good call. So he appealed he did say someone that. was in swag and this i know he was in swag was uh lawn harris yes yes absolutely who was confusing frankie with lawn though pl d um not all white guys look like pl i i have to um well no frankie alvarez isn't but i want to i want to i want to watch um i want to i haven't talked to long i haven't i mean that's the other thing i haven't talked to these people in a bit um i'd love to you know you

do you by the way do you keep in touch with jeanine I haven't talked to her in a minute I can't get in touch with her to see it in my life I try I'm trying to get into there if people if people tweeted Janine let them know I'm trying to get in touch with her I'd love to have her as part of it

let's see Yoshimitsu Paul Yamma still plays on settle the score oh okay that's cool he does I did know that yeah Nathan Drake Winston you have the Otani jersey I do not I do not own I have like

two of like the go to the night's jersey so there was one that they did with the lakers dodgers combo that has jacky robinson on one side and magic johnson on the other oh wow there was a uh i went to like one of the before it became a thing there was like a pride night for the dodgers and a black history month i have one of those too yeah um all right let's see last one for now dark smirk one of 40 do i like theme parks well my wife i don't know if i get that you get it i i think the idea if it's quote unquote one of 40 he's just building us up for

this story that I don't think he's really doing that he's not going to have 40 you think it's 40 no no I know I think that's the joke I think he's like you like being personal with my wife and then and then we just don't ever we're just left on a cliffhanger got it well we're on a cliffhanger now because we'll see

how it goes down Winston A. Marshall today started off it looked like there's going to be problems when we ended with 45 it's pretty good not bad we're getting closer and closer. We didn't quite hit the number I was hoping that we'd hit today. I was hoping we're going to get to 2270. And we are one away.

We're literally one away. I was hoping that we could at least get to 2270 before we signed off here today. I'm going to throw it into the chat one more time. Somebody throws a bone and go to hit that button, get the 2270. It's in the chat right now. Oh, actually, we do have more. Oh, shoot, what's the guy's name? Winston, have you got your hands on the one-piece

Nike's from Johnny Petriza? I didn't know that there were one-piece Nike's. We might have, we might do a exclusive trending sneaker. Oh, shit. Yeah. On the Kickstarter.

Yeah. Though I, I, I, oh, those are pretty fire. I'm not, like, I'm not a one-piece person, but those are fire as fuck. Have you watched that series yet? The live action? That's what I was saying. I think that somebody really wanted me to watch the live action. So I'm going to be doing that.

You should. But did I tell you this that for the wedding, what I'm doing for my groomsman and for myself, I'm getting them all. A buddy of mine who does custom shoes, I'm having him design custom Air Force ones. Oh, that's cool. Everybody's favorite superhero. Hold on. Real quick before we go, I'll show you.

I'll show you the one that he designed me. Yeah. Brooks Langsford, I'm excited about the Grods series just because I loved American Vandal. I could also see it being a great way to do a lot of world building. Yeah, I mean, look, I appreciate the optimism, you know, and who knows, maybe it's a great team they put together. It's not like, oh, they got these goofballs who put together this garbage. They're getting people who are really talented. We do have one more.

But maybe people are going to keep us on, Winston, because you still got 20 minutes. Dion B. Hey, guys, if either of you are into audio books, I would highly recommend the dungeon crawler Carl series. I don't ever heard of that have you. It's getting a show soon. Seth McFarlane picked it up and it's well worth checking it out. It's called the dungeon crawler Carl series. It's a phenomenon.

It's really, really big. Is it really good? It's really good too. I'm in book two right now. It's kind of like ready player one-ish for role-playing games in a way. It's kind of like a really cool series. It's really fun. Okay, cool.

Check that out real quick. That's the, so this is what he's doing for me. I put it in the screen share. Oh, I put it in the screen share. You put it in, oh, wait. Oh, I see it. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, so he's, so for me, I asked him to do Super Say and To Gohan because I realized that like, I was going through all the superheroes in my mind and I was just like, this was probably.

That's great. That moment was probably one of the most fundamental for me as like a young kid, like a teenager. So he's doing that. But yeah, so then each of my, each of my groomsman has their own favorite superhero. like one person has Tommy as the white Power Ranger, another one has Nightcrawler, another one had Earthworm Gym. That threw me off. I haven't heard about Earthworm Gym in forever, but like, no, they're really, really cool. That's awesome.

That's really awesome. I like the way that looks a lot. And going back real quick, Deon, so, yeah, I do want to check out that series. I want to see because, Peelty, usually, you know, for the most part, it's a pretty good taste. So we'll see. Okay, let me see. Yeah, a lot of people are saying the same thing, which I completely understand. People are doing the, the kicks, are looking for the Kickstarter.

So I watched the first two free foralls last night. Says, oh, you would you watch them on? See, they are, it's funny, though, too, the trick is that even though the vault is really the only place you're supposed to be able to watch Smodown right now, there's still so many available on, I guess it's called Collider's Ladies Night now, which doesn't make sense why it's over there. but it's uh but it's on it's still it's still on there yeah uh Lauren I'm gonna highlight some of these I signed up for the Kickstarter launch my bad for waiting live has been busy I love it so thank you Lauren for signing up so we got let's see is that the last do we get to 270 with Lauren or she oh we're at 2,273 now Winston we did it hey we did it overshot it let's go overshot the goal

that's what we hope to do on the 22nd um so let me see it put that in there again really appreciate it let's see if there's any more in here in general we do okay as a sneakerhead winston this is fire i might night anita pair well look yeah i'm boy vince i i remember when we were still in studio i had one time plugged his stuff but if you guys are genuinely serious he he's he's taking a step back but he's still doing the stuff and he does some crazy yeah so for sure just let me know yeah and if you're a sneakerhead again then maybe your tear screw face will be the tier where we have the the the trending or the the, I mean, you don't have him make Shmowdown sneakers, too.

That'd be cool. That'd be cool. I think I know who he's quoting here, but this is Dill the Pickle. I think I know he's quoting, but I could be wrong. PILD, you want to say, guess who he's quoting? You know, pop in. I don't know. Okay, well, you're in embarrassment then if you don't know.

You want to, I thought you were a team action guy. That's Andrew Guy. you know what that was his trademark he said that all of the time yeah yeah you're right all of the time because you know what he would say it all the time like look look at the the five horseman reveal speech right before he says it like 80 times that's true yeah still the best reveals in all of uh ever it was that whole thing the way the way that whole thing went down and i want to say it's because guy sold it like he did oh he listen i always give

guy credit for that because especially it it it really gave me respect for him as a performer because he and I were ready to tear our throats each other's throats out that that night and because so we had this whole plan and throughout the whole entire time it was leading up to where we're going to I was essentially thinking I was throwing him at the wolves because I knew Dan Merle was coming back and I needed I needed I needed a Peter McNeely. basically is what I needed. And so I'm like, well, guy's not a great competitor, but he's a great performer. So he'll sell it.

So he's going to tell everybody he's the guy that beat Dan Merle, even though he hasn't. And so he just be pissing Dan off. So Dan comes back and we're doing the whole meetup at the event. And we're going over the monologue. And so guy at first is like, oh, I'm going to go this. I'm like, well, you can't do that. You got to be scared of him when he comes out. Otherwise, it doesn't add to it.

if you're not scared of him, it diminishes his aura. He's like, you're right, you're right. So then the match happens, and there was a, you couldn't hear from where I was to where they were. And there was the famous flub by Ben where they were asking about John Carlo Esposito, and he says John Carlos Stanton. Yeah. And instead of me saying wrong right away, I said what?

Because I couldn't hear it. And I said, what? And then he goes, no, no, no, no, John Carlos Esposito. And guys, no, no, you have to give it to him because he said this. And there was this whole thing. We didn't give it to him. We didn't give it to him. It was a spin again.

The Shirewolds got pissed off. It was a mess. The Shirewolds wound up winning. Guy was furious at the end. And he and I downstairs, like, yelling at each other. But he stuck to the script. You know, he went improvbed a little bit, obviously, when he was going through his things.

He stayed in character, was intimidated when Dan came out. Never broke, never went off into another place. and ruined the moment. Always stuck with the moment and nailed it. He absolutely made that moment work. It's one of the best moments ever in Shemot in history, for sure. All right, let's see. Dill the Pickle with more memberships.

Thank you, Dill. Crush in here today. And Dill says, take some more memberships. So there you go. And now this is one. Watching on Deli, so I apologize if it's been discussed. Christian, you keep saying Monday for the 22nd. The 22nd is actually Tuesday.

100%. Yes. That's me messing up. It's me realizing that Monday is my, like, so Monday the 21st is really the last day to kind of build up towards it. And then, yes, 100%. The 22nd is the live stream for the launch of the Kickstarter. So thank you for the correction. You're 100% right.

And I'll probably do it again. But it is absolutely the Tuesday, the 22nd that was intentional. We did that Monday leads into it. It'll be me and Roka on that day. We'll talk about everything going on. and then into the 22nd will be the on Tuesday will be Roxy and Mike or yeah, Roxy and Mike will be on the, uh, the start the will most likely start the stream. I might start up by myself.

I don't know yet. I have to figure out when we're going to launch. I just, I feel like maybe it's like it would make sense when it's in the start with like just the regular show and then to keep popping people in. I don't, I don't, but then, then we'd have to start, you know, 9 a.m. East Coast time. Maybe maybe so. Maybe go nine o'clock East Coast time, uh, West Coast time.

rather, 9 o'clock West Coast time until like, you know, 7 o'clock, 6 o'clock. Well, you can't do, you can't do 12. Apparently, if you do 12 hours, YouTube, you delete the stream after that. You can't do, you can only do, I think it's like 11 hours or something. That's crazy because I've,

maybe that's a new thing, because I've done marathon streams before where I went for like a full, like 12, 14 hours. Apparently, yeah, that's the thing. So, here's the last one for now. So is this the last super chat of this episode? We'll find out. I mean, when anytime you do that, normally, normally people will combat you.

But I think right now, no, we'll see. I'm going to look at this. And then I'm going to let Winston tell people where to find them. But we are currently at, yeah, 2,273. So that's, I'm happy with that. I'm happy. I'd love to hit, I'd love to hit 2300 by the end of the day. We'll see if we can do it.

Oh, you know what I want to show Winston? I got to show you the, like, what I realize is that the, you know, we've been watching Mandalorian. Sam and I, oh, here, we did get another one. Hold on. Sorry, Ron, pill that dickle is taking the honor. This is Dill. Perfect.

So we've been watching Mandalorian, and I realize that, even though Big Balls has maybe the key on this one, it also does a spot on Jawa impression. Did you notice this Peelty? He didn't notice it. So I did, or let me see if I can, let me see if I can bring this up, because I have, Yeah, I have, I'm going to bring up just the beginning of today's video, which I haven't, I haven't aired it yet. And I think it's just, where's the final mando?

Where the hell is it? I got to bring it up. Is that it today? Yeah, that's it. So I'm going to bring this. I'm so excited to share something with you. Okay. Let me bring it.

This is, this is today's video. Oh, it's right after this, right? Yeah. give me a say because it's it's it's worth it because it came up pretty good and sam was uh and peeled you love this let's say what's the beginning of freeze no no you gotta go through the uh discretion sounds like doom previously yeah what do you have for me a second previously proof that i have bathed in the living waters i have peeled these i want to get your

your uh reaction of this nothing magic about the minds it's like it's like a Yes, it's all the previously on. I got to say, I don't want to go. These minds date back to the age of the first. Now you do sound love. Now you do sound like. Now you do something.

I swear on my name. You're just jumping right into that shit. Yeah. Oh. Hold on. Sorry, guys. She just dove right after his ass, though. I'll get a little preview.

I forgot about this. Nothing really got him, though. He just, like, fell. Yeah, they did the whole preview right. Here we go. That's cool. That's cool. That's cool.

There we go. We do it. We do it like three, three or four times or twice, actually, because it's like. Well done. Well done. I'm fine. That's what you were trying to find. Like, again, I may sound thirsty and shit like that. I got to give Sam props. Whatever she's doing, man. Like, she always look good. But like she looks like she's toning up and everything, man. She's trying. She's trying. All right, let's see. We've got a couple more. Hold on. Okay, so we did have Blaine. So one of the tiers dropping. I got to talk to, let me ask Craig if you're on.

Text Craig. Hey, Craig, comma, just curious, the audience is asking, when do you think we're going to be able to drop the tiers? And do you think that it would be before launch or after? Let's do what they say? All right. So, um, we appear on birds and a hudgeoning.

They'll have me. Sure. Yeah. I'll talk to Jay about it, man. If you want to come on and plug. They don't, they don't let people look like me on the show. If dressed that,

it's more that we start at 6 p.m. Pacific. You don't come on at 9 o'clock at night. I'm going to be out. I'm going to be, I'm going to be. Well, you know why, Roxy? Because I'm racist. That's why. Yep.

Yep. I don't want to say it. Thanks, Mike. Page. I am the last. I don't think so, Paige. I don't think so. Dave, give up. What's your guilty movie pleasure? Mine is the Resident Evil movies. It's a good one. I mean, does Flash Gordon count? No? No. I don't know. I mean... Flash is too damn good. Come on. That is not guilty. For us, though, for us, I mean, for, I'm trying to think. I'm sure that there's some.

Like a movie that's like bad, but you just... Yeah, that you just, you know is the shits, but you like watching it anyway. A beer fest. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. I do enjoy a beer fest. That movie's kind of funny. Last scene, chat, love all. No, Paige.

You missed it again. Missed it again. Ron H. Not so fast, guys. Stop sharing. She has crumbums. Well, but this is a way to end it. Look at.

Hell yeah. Oh, shit. Jeffie. Favorite action movie. We watched the raid last night. Those are up there, dude. And oh, man, wish they'd fall up with a third one. Dude.

I like the second one better than the first one. I love the first one. I've never seen the raid movies. Ooh. I didn't do that. Yeah. The first one's great. The second one is even better.

I don't know what my favorite action movie is, but what's up there as far as like an action thriller, I really, really love collateral. Collateral. Come on. Oh, I know,

I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of collateral damage. Collateral Tom Cruise and James Bond. That's good. It's more of like a drama thriller, though, right? That's what I'm saying.

It's an action thriller, but like I think about the club scene where you get full top of yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, look, John Wicks up there. Um,

you know, the commando rambo die hard rock with ed harris yeah i mean i got a lot you know a lot those are those are good ones though yeah i'm with you though epic on that one um i would love to see in the third movie i loved that i'm glad they didn't make they were going to make an american remake of it i'm glad that you didn't thank you uh epic for being that was super generous page ron stop your weed ass on the last. Unfortunately, Go pal is. The page keeps trying. Love Beer Fest

and Broken Lizard generally. You know, I just never got into those movies. I've met the guys. They're nice guys. Just never got into those movies. Super Troopers and all that shit couldn't do it. The original Supertroopers are two of my favorites. People love it. Craig wrote back. Let me see

what he said. Craig said so I can answer that question. Definitely before. And he said, said, hold on, hold on, I'm trying to read this text. It said definitely before, I'd say middle of next week, or we can release the tears. Oh, you know what?

I have a better, I have a better guilty pleasure movie. Which one? Joe Dirt. Oh, my God. That movie is terrible, but I fucking love that movie. That's fair. That's fair. Go, pal.

Boramir from Lord of the Rings always, reminds me of Landfield from Beer Fet. I don't know. Well, enough. I don't know it. Ron H. Page. My ass is weedy. No wonder it is.

Oh, hey, I tripped the weeds. Page. Okay, there we go, pal. I am the last. Stop it. So we're going to try there with 68. When we'll say this, we'll see if we'll... No, no, we need one more.

Even 69. I think there's going to be more than that. But I'm going to let you sign out. And then we'll see if anybody else puts that in there when you're signing out. Go ahead, Winston. Where can they find you? That's what's up. You can find me at the Swaggy Blur.

as my new fancy sign says. I got that for Christmas. I've probably got a chance to put it up. But all that being said, you can find me at this way, you blurred on all platforms. If you're on social media, I always will post about

whenever I'm going live on anything or have something going up. Let's see, spill the tequila on Tuesdays with John Roker, Blurred in the Hood, myself and Jay Washington on Wednesdays. And specifically with that, man, we've got actually Blurts in the Hood.

We've got a special thing going on with the Emmys. I can't say more than that, but we have something that's going down with that for our patrons. We do have a Patreon, patreon.com slash blurts in the hood. If you were part of that,

you will be able to see that early. And then obviously everybody else will be able to see the video a little bit later. So be sure to check all that stuff out. We do have one more, but I will, I wanted, I forgot to show you this.

I don't know if you know this yet, Winston, but check this. So obviously, as we're launching and we're trying to get to, I mean, what you normally, And as you know, because you've had friends who run Kickstarter. It's like, and I think you're one of the people who told me this, is once you raise like 25 to like 35% of your goal,

if you can do it within the first two days, Kickstarter will put you on the projects that we love. Well, we have 2,200 followers. We haven't launched yet. And Kickstarter has put us on the project we love page. Nice. On the bottom left there. Yeah.

So that was a big thing for us. We've also updated the poster, as you can, see this one here too just was done why one of our wonderful fans and it was amazing um and i love this poster i think it's great and so we have a lot more of the things that we're going to be you know putting up here real soon and these tears will be coming up so if you haven't followed already please do but yeah winston as i said there's a there's a couple more as they're now battling each other for the last one and ron says i am the last you shall not pass you are not the last my friend because Seattle CO said I am number 70.

But Michael D. says, nope, he's last. But nope. Dill de Pickle said, I'm going to throw my hat back in the ring. I am last. But Paige wants the title today. She said, Ron, weed ass, stop it, Texas style. Johnny Patrice are coming in hot at the end there saying, Winston, can you name the three ninjas? Rocky, Colt, and Tom, Tom. Of course I can.

You're fucking kidding me? That's my shit, bro. Sounds German to me. Okay. Oh, he's got the god. clip, by the way. Maybe Winston can join another for the tournament, man. I know, I know.

So let's, let's, this, this, this, this is the best. Where is this clip? Here it is. It was the best guy around. What about the people he murdered? What murder? No, it's Boston. Boston.

Do you know who ruined that song for me? What? You want to take, I'll let you take a guess. There's someone who ruined that song. I'll let you guess to. If someone ruined that song for me, that anytime that song comes up, I am now ruined because this person is ruined it for me.

I love that song. I'm going to go with Macy. Macy ruined it for me? My daughter? Okay. Because the children will get earworms and then they just won't ever stop singing it. PLD? Bibiani.

100%. Wait, why? Because any time that song would come up, he would sing it and belt it at the time of, wherever we were in the middle of it. If the question came up and in the middle of a, taping he would belt it out and it was like cats screeching and glass and nails on chalkboards and everything at the same time and it was so bad that I wanted to jump out of a window and I couldn't do anything I felt like I was in a I felt like I was being waterboarded when when it would happen and it was so bad and every time it comes up to I was he he's ruined the song for me uh

I was there for one of them either I was managing oh for one of them he did it every time and the course of his career you were definitely any person ever competed in the schmoda Johnny Petrieza nah okay Dave Gibbo three ninjas with Hulk Hogan is good not good sir why would you say that

Dill the pickle boom he wants to win but look at Paige coming in hot at the end so hey let's go I'm gonna sign it off with that I'm gonna get Paige to win against you try it's hard so guys thank you so much thank you to page thank you to everybody we will see you guys on the flip side.
