Thank goodness. So we'll discuss that. We'll discuss some movies that we've seen. I saw Wanka, Roxy saw Wanka.

We're not going to make a top 10 list, but we're going to some of the things that we've seen. What else? Ryan Reynolds talked about some Deadpool stuff. We have Avatar 3, had a trailer, had a title, but apparently that's BS. We're talking about how great Godzilla minus 1 is. I'll tell you about my trip that I took to Tennessee in 24 hours.

I took a 24-hour trip to Tennessee. I'll talk about that. We'll talk about Roxy Stryor's new stand-up comedy career. We'll talk about Roxy Stryor's neighbor. We'll talk about Brett Sheridan's wonderful shirt. So that and more on today's show with myself, Roxy, and Brett. If you're brand new to the channel, you've never been here.

We're trying to build up that community, everybody. So hit that button. We're trying to get to 200,000, even faster than we got to 100. But we need you guys to help out. And yes, Roxy will be talking about some TV also, right? Sure. Right. So we got some TV stuff.

We got some movie stuff. We got some other stuff. So thanks for joining us on the show, Spotify, Apple Podcasts. Anywhere podcasts are found. It's the big thing. Brett, Roxy, let's do it. Welcome. back one and all to the grand show of them all.

It is the big thing. Me, Roxy, Brett, us. It's nice to have everybody back. You guys kick me off again last week. You get kicked off? Both did. You both get kicked off. No, you called, you said, can we do it at this time?

I'm getting very busy, Roxy, these days. And then you asked me to change the time for today and what I say. Yes, about a half an hour. We still started at 1 o'clock, which is not your fault at all. Although you told me I hexed you guys? Yeah, you walked in, you said, are we ready to go on time? I said, yeah, you are. I'm having this stupid problem.

I've had a really nice one of our subscribers trying to help with the fact that he wrote. He was very nice when he wrote. He's like, I'm not trying to overstep, but sometimes I notice it gets glitchy. And I was like, dude, you're not overstepping, whatever you can suggest, because it's driving me crazy. And sometimes when I'm editing, and I don't see it, and then they're going to, And it's like the stupid glitch thing. It happens with capes and cows a lot. But his suggestion is too is this computer.

I need a new computer. I understand that. Can't do it yet. I'm the fun's to do a computer yet. But we're trying everything that we can. So Brett had a couple of ideas and fixes beforehand. But Roxy was like, are we going to start on time? And at the time, it was like, yep, we are.

And then she jinxed us. So there you go. Yes, that is my fault. That's what happened. The new computers, the ones that you really need, they're like $10,000. I mean, they're so expensive. What's the one that we were looking at? What's the price on it?

If you get a PC, it's not that bad. The problem is if you like Macintosh. Yes. Yeah, yeah. You know, but you could get away with one that's about three or four grand. Yeah. I don't know about that. It just don't have it at the moment.

But. Christian, I have a question for you. Go ahead. Tell me. What? I don't think we're not doing this all day. Okay. You have a question for you.

You said that already. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you guys last week, you did an awesome job. You talked about always a little that I wasn't here and it was so nice. Yes. But you didn't say anything about me

And all the fans noticed that you didn't say anything about me I did and you know what I did say about you I talked about No I talked about you for about Because I realized that after I did that thing Because I thought I was just already talking about you Because I was You think I'm trash? No

I was Can I finish? Can I finish You ask me a question? I'm answering a question So Winston then came on the show On Friday I think it was or whatever Or we taped for no we did like an extra one that we were supposed to do He was supposed to do the one that you guys missed

last one. Yeah. So if you notice, we didn't do a show. You did no show. We didn't know a show because... Because we are at the show. No. No, I wish.

Winston and I did a show and then the computer glitched. It shut down the whole entire program and it didn't save it. I talked about you for maybe 10 minutes on that episode. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Interesting story. I did. Yeah.

And I talked about it for a bit. I know. We talked about it for a bit. And then we did capes and cows in and we couldn't fit in there. So I was like, you know what? I'll talk, we'll talk about it on the show. I thought you were great. I wouldn't lie to you.

I thought you were good. And it called you though, and I said this another thing too. I like, right away, I'm like, this is bullshit. You did. And you're like, you didn't. You didn't want to know what it was about. But then, as you said, don't worry I'm in flashbacks, and you are. I thought you held the whole thing.

The one thing, and this has nothing to do with you, you, your performance. And this is always, I say this about everything from Beverly Hills 9-0-2-0 and everything. It's maybe because I know you guys. You guys are supposed to be playing like 18-year-olds. Yeah, yeah. And it's like, you guys aren't 18. I am. Yeah.

You are? You are? Yeah. But it's such a little, little complaint. You think I should have gotten Botox before? No. I'm glad they don't touch your face. Leave your face alone.

How am I going to keep getting cast as an 18-year-old dad? Leave your face alone because Bill Burr says it best. It's like they haven't perfected it yet. You can clearly tell. What age do you guys think I look? In that, in that movie? I'd say mid-20s. Yeah.

In life? I mean, I know you. Yeah. It's tough. Yeah, it's tough when you know. And also, it's tough when you're an old guy because you don't want somebody to look 18. We did get, we've gotten like almost all great reviews, but we did get one review early on in film festivals. That was like, how the fuck am I supposed to believe these crows feed-having motherfuckers are in the X-Q-Q-W? Wow.

They really went that deep. I don't know if they call this mother-buckers, but they did call us crows feed-having people. Wow. Do you, Botox? You can tell me. No, I've never. See, that one, I'm not. I love this.

How subtle you went. You can tell me. You can tell me and know what people watching. You have very, you have very nice skin and you don't have. I have a lot of wrinkles. I do. Yeah, if you look close. At this point, I like them, but at some point I might get rid of them.

I've never touched anything on my face. I never even have braces. I never have done anything. Just don't just age. Oh, I did dye my hair. Everybody knows that. I will say, I found out that a lot of people I know do Botox and you can't tell any different. It's when you start cutting in.

I agree with... I don't know, dude, if you do it too much, it does this thing. I think you're thinking of filler. Yeah, fillers are... No, I know somebody who both of those can't move your face. Yeah, that's tough. I talk to somebody who I know who's done it. They realized that they were trying to do something.

They couldn't move their face. Yeah, the biggest one is in the forehead. That's the one that I think is fine. Don't touch your face. If you are not an actor or somebody who needs to have facial expressions, and I don't give a shit what you do to your face, do whatever you want to your face. But it is difficult now,

when there are the people, men and women, who are getting a lot of Botox and you're trying to understand what they're feeling on camera. They're giving you... They're giving you nothing. I'm glad that Nicole Kimman backed off on it because she was starting to get pretty...

That is a good thing about Botox, but apparently it goes away. You can pull back on it because she was starting to get to a lot of people that sometimes it's like, I just, I don't know, for me, I find, I guess, I've always found older women more attractive anyway, to be honest

like 80 like 80 like you get 80 what age do you think is the hottest the hot no I'm talking about you mean older wise I mean just saying when I was younger what do you think is the most attractive woman age between I mean it's different there's some women who look between 30 and 35 and 49 yeah I know you can't say

under your wife's age that's definitely no I was gonna be like oh you're 30 to 40 my wife's 45 my wife my wife looks like You both have smoke show wives. Yeah, but she's got to get some work done. My wife or your wife? No, mine is, no, mine's begging me to do stuff. One of those things would be absolutely unacceptable.

No, my wife's begging me to get Botox and just a little filler here and stuff. And I keep saying the same thing. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. She's begging you to do it or she's begging? She's like, come on, I just need a little bit. And she's got like kind of deep this thing or whatever. I'm like, I like that. That's cute.

I don't, you know. Yeah, and she wants her lips a little full. Oh, you guys are absurd. No, it's just don't, but it's because, it's just because I don't want you. Fine, I've had it. No, I don't believe. I don't buy it. Anyway, well, I'll tell you what you have had.

Some laughs on stage. No, come on. We did. That was a hard thing I've ever done in my life. So we did a stand-up show on Saturday, and it was really fun. Thank you to everybody who came out. I'm trying to, I've already got my set, and I'm waiting for Flappers to send the whole show, because then I'll put it up on the, on Patreon.

But. They have it? Yeah. We recorded it. You have your set. On tape? Yeah, we're gonna, it's digital now. We don't do tape anymore.

But, yeah. Put it on the digits. And on Patreon, people are gonna see it rocks. And you were really good. And you shouldn't be, you were really, really good. The only thing, the funny thing is you were like, well, you keep bringing up that you were like, don't talk to me to everybody. Which is, everybody does that. I really did.

I know you did. But the only thing, the one thing that I was just, that I was a happy, embarrassed for you because it was hilarious. the guy from Flappers comes in who's the sound engineer and he goes to Roxy he's like hey so like what do you he has to like what do you need

or what and she goes why are you ready she's like why are you asking me that he's like and he goes he looks where he goes because you're the MC it was it was the best

he was the best he looked at me like this well Christian walked in I couldn't even make words I was just staring at you like why did you do this to me. And then everybody else I knew. And then I, this is a fucked up thing to say out loud, but you were having the top tier people were coming through. And I had to remove myself because I knew

I actually would pass out if I had to talk to anybody. So I was standing in the hallway with Ellis, with Ellis, who's talking me down and up. He's talking me up and he's talking me down. Right, right, right. Because I actually was like having a moment where he said to me, the only thing you can do wrong right now is not go on stage. And I was like, I don't know that I can do this. I was really, really, really scared. It's only because you never did it. I, because I can tell you this,

because you performed exactly how I knew you would, because you know how to talk in front of people. I scared little layout. No, but you know what you did, though, that I wasn't expecting you to do, and I wouldn't have asked you to do it because I didn't need you to. Jokes?

In between. I tried to, yeah, yeah, yeah. I tried to listen. And you wrote them yourself. I listened, and then I, well, Ellis helped me with the stuff at the top. Yeah. I gave him like your biggest nightmare. This is probably both your biggest nightmare.

I call Ellis, we go to get coffee. And I was like, let me pull out my notepad of jokes that I've had in mind for years. And you tell me how to make these work. It's just like what's worse than somebody's sitting you down and explaining the jokes that are in their head to you? Oh, but you're someone who you're working with. I understood it.

And you can tell, like, you could definitely tell they were your jokes and Ellis helped you flare them up. You could see the beginning of it. Yeah, structurally. I didn't know how to tell a joke. But you used your skills as an actress to do. do exactly. You talk to people. You did what you had to do. You did five minutes up top or maybe six, whatever it was. I don't know because I couldn't have seen a light if it came on. Whatever it was,

you did it. You hit your moments. You didn't over. And this is something that I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass. I'm telling you the truth. For people who don't do stand-up, what they normally do is they step on their jokes. They don't hold for their laughs. You didn't do that. You waited. You like, you really like you were, you would deliver it and you, I was, like, I'm watching going, okay, well, she doesn't never done. this before so you might step on a few things I was like she's not stepping on shit yeah there's a couple times that I wish that I like Kate asked me afterwards and people were like did you hear those laughs I did not I did not I don't know how the reaction was I genuinely was so

afraid I can't remember the whole night I was so afraid do you know that subconsciously you did hear the laugh though I you think so yeah I know that you did because if you because you didn't because you felt when you were up on stage you felt like okay I'm I'm doing it and you You never, you were never like, this is going terrible. You would have known because you would read the, you're reading the energy when you're up there. The energy was pushing you through it. Like the laughs were pushing you through it. I can't believe this is something you guys do.

I cannot believe it. Afterwards, Kate was walking me in my car and I said, that was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. And she said, you buried your mother. And I said, I stand by what I just said. It was so difficult. Like, there's something unlike anything. I mean, I've been in plays. obviously. I have been on hosting live. I've done improv. I've done all the things on stage or on

camera that a person could do other than porn, I guess. But I've never done stand-up. Like, I have nothing even close to that. And it's such a different beast. So for me, it was like, this is all those skills combined. It's like having to have an opening monologue that you are ready to throw out. something else happened. I don't understand just like how you gain this skill set. And the fact that Ellis was coming through, he had done two shows prior, was coming through, and then was going to, I think in, where is it, Hermosa or whatever? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Magic Comic. He's coming from there. Then he was coming through to Burbank, and then he was going to go to the comedy store. And we were like a stop on his night. And I was like, how could you do this four times tonight? I would, I, well, remember, that's to him, it's second nature. Yeah. I don't get how that's possible.

You've done it. You've done it once. So, like, if you... Barely. Yeah, but no, you did. You really did. You hosted a show. You hosted a comedy show and you did it well.

And I wouldn't... Like, if I... You know me. If I was, if I was like, look, you probably could have done some things better. You bailed on some stuff. You didn't commit. I don't have any of those notes for you. I had those...

Like, there was a... There was a joke, I won't say, of who. But there was somebody we were talking to on our... Everybody, I think, had really great sets. But there was some... somebody on our show that was doing really well and had a joke that I was talking to with and I was like, well, when you do that joke,

just remember like, emphasize that word because it'll hit. And when they did it, they brushed right over it and the people were entertained by it, but if they would have held. I'm so curious what you're talking about. If they would have held on it, you would have gotten a bigger laugh.

I know it, I know they would have gotten a bigger laugh. And they brushed over it and I was like, oh, you should have just held. I didn't have those notes for you because like you did and you came up with that one for Brett, Like about in between with the thing with the what was it that you said? Do you remember the actual line about is about the hot comedians? I think I said, you know, I've always been told that you can't be extremely hot and extremely funny.

We know which one I'm going for. But there's a loophole. You can be extremely funny and have a smoke show of a life. Yeah. It was very well executed. It was so good because I thought you were going to say I was hot. Yeah, me too. And then I went, oh.

Yeah. I was like, that was good. That was good. And Kate and I looked at each other like, and come. I thought she was Chris Carr. Oh, wonderful. I thought she was hysterical. His car was crazy.

I thought she was hysterical. And I feel bad because I think afterwards I was like, holy shit, you were actually so funny. And that's not a nice thing to say to somebody because I think it implies that I didn't think she would be funny. But I just have no idea what to expect. Yeah, of course. And I understood. What I liked about her is that she's so like a very, you could tell just very sweetheart, not like, she doesn't seem filthy or anything like that. but she put just the right amount of filth in there.

She didn't do dirty for dirty's sake. It fit with her demeanor. She's like, oh my gosh, you're so sweet. And oh, I can't believe she said that, you know. She's another one where she knows. You can tell she has experience with what she was saying in the way that she crafted her jokes. And she's very likable. And that was the thing that worked too.

I mean, I thought everybody was like, everybody had. She is very like. Yeah, I thought everybody. I mean, Kate had a fantastic set. She crushed. Everybody did such a great job. job. Winston Coy.

Because my number one concern was that I was going to fuck up the show for everybody. Right. So the fact that everybody did a good job, I was like, I think that it was making me feel less pressure because I was like, oh, I can't fuck this up for them. No, but you're also adding to it. You don't realize that the host, this is what I try to tell you. The host adds the energy to the show and gives you the vibe. That's why they're called the host.

They're hosting the night because like when the host is off and the host is not believing in themselves and the host is not getting the energy up, the rest of the show. show suffers. You were doing exactly what you were supposed to be doing. And you didn't spend, you had a couple jokes in between comics, and you didn't spend like a whole, like five, six, seven minutes. Oh, I have this new bit that I want to do,

that I'm now going to do a new set that I should have done in the beginning. Sometimes hosts do that all the time. They'll do, like, they'll have their bit that they probably should have done in the beginning. And then they come up with a new thing that they want to try and they don't know if it's proven or not. They do like five more minutes. But you did try anything. But you did try things.

And it was all really good. You were talking about everybody else, and then I brought it back to me. No, but that's good, though. Everybody else was stellar. It was really cool to see. And it was, I feel like, not big things centered. No, that's what I liked about it. Yeah, it felt like just a really legit comedy show.

I was very genuinely laughing at times. And, yeah, I thought it was awesome. Brett, you were on fire, my dude. Oh, it was so good. Like, every time that you would pull out your phone, I thought I was going to pee myself. Like, I don't know how you do that. He's another one, though. He's getting way more confident up there.

Now, you've done more stand-up within the last year than I think you've done in, like, 10, right? Oh, yeah, exactly. And you talk about being nervous about it. The first time I was going to go back was that Houston show where we were flying, and I called my wife, and I'm like, I can't go. I'm going to tell him I'm sick, and I can't go. And I almost canceled the flight to go to Houston for the thing. And I ended up doing and did two shows, and it went well. But I'm with you.

I got off the stage, and you're like, great job. I'm like, what did I say? Yeah. Right before, I don't know if you saw this Christian, but right before Brett was about to go on, I was like, I think I turned him and said something like, you ready? And he was like, turned to Kate and was like Kate first. And I was like, no, no, you're first. And he was like, let me see that. It takes the paper and was like, now?

And it was like. Well, I just asked Kate. I go, are you next or me? And she goes, me. And I thought she said me. But I think she said you. I don't know. It was a day's.

But I was like, are you guys messing with me? But you knew, but look, here's the other thing that is beneficial, right? You knew that, because it was our show, right? And so the majority of people were either big thing fans or, you know, or whatever. Maybe they were friends of mine or friends or whatever it was. And they were there to see you guys. You have that cushion when you're doing a show, especially for yourself doing a show. Like a lot of people in that audience, most of them I'd say, like, there was almost like 9,500 people there.

So, like, I would say, you know, 75% of them knew who you were, right? that's a great cushion to have when you're doing a show for the first time Oh definitely There's zero chance I could do this if I didn't feel like people knew me Especially because I knew I had that to fall back on like One of the main things I was asking Alice If I get up there and I just see stars and just some fucking tapped or whatever

What can I do? And one of the things is I know who they know who I am Yeah dance That's what he advised you said do a ballerina thing I thought about it. You should have. Yeah. No.

And I would say as a whole, too, what I found was great that there wasn't a lot of pandering to the big thing crowd. People were doing bits. They weren't doing callbacks to the show or something. Like, there weren't a lot of nerdy references or things like that. I loved that about it. And I also, it's why the reason why I focused more on stand-up on this show, because we did, the first show we did was stand-up and then- Podcasts.

Yeah, which was the way that we did it that night, I didn't mind. I liked it where we did you and I think it was you and Brett, right? And so it was the three of us and for our show and then we talked. Kate was with us? Kate was with us too.

So then we did, we did like little sections. Remember Kate was a little tipsy? She was. We did like little sections that I thought was fun and a kind of Q&A thing. And then when we did the New York show and like double toasts

they're some of my favorite, both Martin Corey are like some of my favorite people in the world. They're hilarious. But we don't do shows with them all the time and it was like kind of a fun. It felt like more like that we would do like Comic-Con together. Like we'd be like,

oh, these guys have been doing stuff for so long. And Mark and Christian. And even Mark doesn't do this show really a lot, right? He's just one of my best friends. So it was like we had just done this stand-up show at New York Comedy Club, which I thought was great. And then we did the other thing. I was like that would be great at like a con or something else to where we did something else.

It doesn't really feel like it matches. So then when Flappers was like, hey, do you guys want to do a show? Is that how that happened? Flappers was like, hey, we have some things available. available in December. Do you want to do one? Because I wasn't planning on doing any more shows for the rest of the year,

or least for a while, until we built up the audience more. But then JP, who runs our show, we were, our live shows, he was connected to the email too. And I said, I don't know, maybe we just do run one in L.A. And let's try to do it.

And I was like, yeah, I remember you had mentioned at the time, you and Steph had mentioned that you wanted to. All right, let's talk about it. You want to talk about it? Go ahead. Tell us how this happened. Here's the thing.

Everybody knows is, Steph is my best friend. I love Steph more than anything. Steph and I have very different personalities. And I am more type A. And Steph is funnier. That's just like kind of what our dynamic is. So the last time when Koi was hosting,

and Steph and I were on stage for, she did, you guys did a mini Sith or something, right? Yeah, me, Mike and stuff. Right. So we had gone on for big thing. You guys did a Sith. And so Steph and I were both on stage for a total of like five minutes. And but we were there all night and we were watching everything and learning.

And she was like, man, I feel like we would have nailed this. Like we really could host the show. Nothing against Koi. She just wanted us to like be hosting the shows. And she was like, I've seen Ken and Makuga do it together before. Like it's fun when there's a duo doing Christian show. So I was like, oh yeah.

And she was like, we're supposed to do things in life that scare us. This would scare me. I really wanted, she said, I really want to do this. This would be so fun. And I was like, yeah, for sure. So then you messaged us asking if we would do it. And Steph and I are on the phone. Yeah.

And Steph's like, I really want to do this. I'm like, okay babe let's do it okay and she's like let's respond in the chat the same time so we wrote something in the chat the same words the same time something like on it or like whatever it was just like you know thing one and thing two so we write that and then the literal next thing that I know is Christian puts out a flyer and I'm on it and Steph's not so I call I say to Christian you forgot Steph why did you take Steph off the flyer thinking Christian's the dickhead and Christian says

Steph failed She didn't tell you And she had a really legitimate reason Obviously she had a family wedding But she lit This is what it is to have a best friend Who's the funny one and not the type A one Right because she was like

Oh, she asked me to say can you move the show And I go, I can't It's only time the club is given it's right But she completely just didn't say anything to me Because she Steph is in like You know she didn't think about it Of course

So I messaged her and was like Are you not doing this show and she was like, oh, girl, you're going to crush it. And I was like, No, answer the question. I called Christian. I was like, and I was like, no.

And Christian was like, do not bail on me. I already put out the flyer. And I was like, I've never bailed on anybody about anything in life. And to your credit, within seconds of me saying that, you're like, okay, I won't, but I'm not loving this. And now I'm scared. Yeah, I was like, I'm not going to bail on you. I'm actually going to shit my pants.

So, like, this is not something A, I ever thought I would do, ever, thought I was capable. But don't lie to me and I want you to answer without thinking. I'm just going to ask you right now. I think I have the same question. You can ask the other question. Are you happy you did it? Are you happy you did it? Yes. Okay. But I do not think that I would be happy to do it again. You would do it again. You would be happy to do it again. This is why we were texting afterwards and I was in that place. I was in a lot. I don't know you too well. This is what will happen. I'm going to go okay. Because you think I'll have foam. Which I will have foam off. You will 100% have a formal. And I'm going to, because you know you can do it. Because the thing is, I'm going to say, okay, flappers reach out, they want to do another one,

and I need you to host. You would say, I'd probably say, yeah, but I wouldn't do it. I'm kind of a yes girl in general. I don't do it happen. No, because that's the difference. If you, if it was something that you hated and you were like, I will never do that again,

then you would say no to me right away. Because I know you. You would say, I cannot ever do that again. But like what? What have I ever said that to? No, there are things. I'm a performer, so there's nothing performance-wise. Again, other than things that I'm like, I'll never fucking do that.

But either way. So you were really good on it for sure. And like I didn't know, because I had added Ellis, because Ellis came out and it's like, hey, you know, I'm, because I had told him that if he was around, I want to give him a spot. But I hadn't talked to him about it. So I had planned. Yeah, you said nothing. Well, because I originally had planned to do 30. Minutes.

Yeah. And you did 20. I did 24. Wow, that flew. You did 24 minutes? Well, those first three were just stories that I came up with the week. I love when you tell stories. Thank you.

It's so your, like, that's what I, afterwards I called Alice at 1230 because I thought I was going to cry and vomit. And he was asking me, how did everybody else do it? I was like, Christian was so in his element because you are, you're always funny, but you're the funniest when you're telling stories. Thank you. And that, like, longer chunk of time is, really good for you. So my really, but that's death for things like, you know, last comic standing, auditions and things like that, you know, like you.

Because you have to, because you've got to be. You got like two minutes to get out as much as possible. I just love storytelling comedy. Me too. I think that's what's beneficial to me, though, is because I've had to put those little pieces together for so long is now that I'm running my own shows and everything, too, that I can do. Like, so one of my really close friends, one of my favorite comedians is Steve Simone. And Steve Simone's entire thing is telling stories.

He's a great storyteller and he's super likable and he's just one of the best people like just leads with kindness and it's just such a good, good dude. And he does that stuff and he's in longer form like... Where does he do it on stages? All over. Clubs and colleges all over. Yeah, for real. He does. He's just been around.

He's forever. No, he's really great. So he came up with him at the comedy store. But anyway, so that was the thing is that I had all these stories that I wanted to tell and I was like, well, just tell. I mean, because the thing with the supermarket thing, the salon. That happened to me the morning up. No way. That happened to me on Saturday.

Really? It didn't happen to you that day. I never know when people say that. No, that happened to me. That happened to me in the morning that day and I told my wife, I was like, I gotta bring this up tonight and I was like, can I open with it? And I was like, I'll try to open with it. And I was like, I can transition into the dog thing that happened last week.

And then the school thing happened two weeks ago. And I've also talked about it on the show. I've like, I do that sometimes now as I use this show and I'll throw some stuff in there. And I'll give the audience response to it. Like when I did the thing about the day, dog on Archie. I brought that up on a live stream. The potty training one always slaps too. Yeah, the potty training one, which is also also true story.

So I like telling these long, I mean, I could ease, I was telling Brett on the ride home. I have easily over an hour and a half, two hours of material now that I could do. And like I told that story. I told the story about the tree in, in New York. Oh, yeah. And that is like, that was like a, and I was hosting the show that night. And I, that was like a 10 minute bit. And I could have done that. But I was like, I want to tell new stories.

I do, I think I get more, and it's kind of Rick Ingram, you know, Rick? God, I love Rick Ingraham. And Rick Ingraham's probably, probably my favorite comic working today. Really? Yeah. And again, Rick, very close friend of mine,

but like Rick, the reason why Rick's so good, he works the crowd, that's what he does. And so one of the things that I always used to do was I rely on my set that I had for a long time. And sometimes I would do the same thing for the same 10 or 15 minutes. And now as I'm just getting older, you know, I like, I like telling new stories and seeing if they were like the three new stories. I had way more fun than telling the two jokes that I had done before.

I still had fun telling them. Like the one that I closed with was that joke I've been doing for 15 years. But and it just, it's a high energy joke. So I was like, I'll just end with it. But I could have done 30, 40 minutes that night easily. Wow, damn. That's cool. I could have done like 700 minutes.

good of you were great though too i actually i looked at your favorite set that night that was fun because i think was the best combination of just kind of improvising and throwing bits in yeah my favorite points were never anything that i had had planned or anything like that and that that was what i'm becoming more comfortable with is going okay i'm going to plan out i i know 15 jokes yeah and if they come up they come up if they don't if they don't it's a scary place to put myself in but i like it um But yeah, I mean, if I looked at all my jokes and I actually did them in order, I probably had an hour if I go back to the file. And you can always tighten them up. Yeah.

You can always add new things to him. That's what we, he and I went to Wood Ranch right beforehand and we were just kind of running. Well, you wouldn't have been. In the state you were in. Oh, yeah. There was just no asking way. Yeah. So we were.

I just like to be invited. Yeah, we were throwing bits at each other and just the jokes that we had. And we were like, and there was something at the end. What was the end of, uh, it was the end of the salami bit? Brett gave me the tag at the end of it because I was like, I had something that I said, that I really said to the guy. And then Brett's like, you know, you should add, you should add this. And then it just closed up the whole bit.

So it was, it was great. It was, it was a really good. And I thought Winston, Winston's a very good storyteller too. He is. Winston, I think he was funny last time, but this time I was like he's so much more comfortable and he's just super funny. He's got the fire. Yeah. He's got the fire.

And then so what I, and what I, and what? Yeah, he's good. He's at the fire. Well, Coy, for me, and I've told this, it's Coy too. Coy has a very good presence about himself, too, when it comes to the hosting side and everything, too, and he's got a good energy. And the thing about Coy that a lot of comedians, a lot of people in general, don't have that he's got. Confident? He's fearless.

Holy shit. I've never seen anything like it. He's fearless. And that is a very good thing to have. My only thing, I told this to Coy in person, and I tell him on the air, and I'll tell him if he's sitting in front of me. I don't understand why he doesn't dive more into the comic. book stuff and other stuff that like you know because he goes very blue he goes very like kind of dirty and I don't think he needs to do that I don't think he needs to do it I think that's what he likes

he likes to do it I don't think he needs to do it because like he's got so much knowledge in these other things though too that I think that he would with that confidence I mean his his confidence is unbelievable I had I think that coy one of the coolest things about him and maybe this is the Boston in him is that no matter how the audience is reacting, because I've seen him a few times now, he is the biggest, most confident person on stage. And it's like you can't kind of take your eyes off of him because he does this thing where he, and for a few times now I've seen him to it, he pulls the audience a lot. And sometimes they give him nothing and sometimes they give him something, but it doesn't really matter to him. He's ready to like leap on into whatever he's receiving.

and that is, I feel like sometimes, like, if somebody gave me nothing, I would crumble. I was going to say, look, when I first started years and years ago, and I had something in my head that I thought it was going to work, and it didn't, I did the cardinal mistake that a lot of comedians made, because I did this one for my first six months, and I even cringing to hear myself say it, because when comedians do it now, I go, that didn't work or whatever. Or go, like, this was supposed to be funny, guys. Yeah, I was like, I did, I hate even saying it. It's like, when I was in college, the first time I ever did stand up, and I did something.

And I remember thinking it was gonna be so funny and it bombed and I went that's funny remember and I was like oh my god I watched I had that set on tape and I've watched it before and I'm like you fucking idiot and but coy doesn't quite more so like just like he'll if something doesn't he just he's talking. Yeah and if he tightens up his stuff if he tightened up his stuff he could I I'm I had a person there who I've worked with on and I'm working with on certain like this advertisement deals and things too and he came to watch the show and it was really said he brought some friends friends with them too that had no clue who we were and just wanted to come see comedy show and non-biased they had a really good time that a lot of fun thought it was just a very solid show in general had very complimentary things to say about you that you ran the show really well people love what we all did but um so anyway I like having conversations like this on Thursdays because when we we do you know I think that more and more with Thursday shows becoming or a more casual conversation where we do talk about news and we talk about other things too but we

can talk about things like this and I know people are curious so if you want to want to see what the hell we're talking about. Join Patreon. Patreon.com slash the Big Thing Show. As soon as I get the show from the club, I'm going to put it up. And then, yeah, I did see somebody who wrote, said, oh, you signed up for Patreon because you said every live stream we were going to get. I was like, yeah, but this isn't a live stream.

No. It's like when we do live streams and if we do live streams, then I definitely will. But like the club didn't have the capacity to do it that night. Plus, the fact, I didn't have a team to do it because I'm not working with that website team. so what you will get is you'll absolutely get the show when I post it but the club else has to send it to me do they film everybody's shows or you yeah they're nice too floppers flippers always because they sell they're smart they sell them they they tape every comedian set if you want to buy like if you if you if so if for some reason they were like um we're not sending you the whole show

I could you could you could buy your set if you wanted to like still like tomorrow yeah nobody else can no one else can no one else can No. No. No, no, no, no, no, you can. You can. For years ago. I think that that might be what I'm going to find out from Flappers. I think they're going to need you guys to sign off because they're not going to just give it to me. Fuck that. Not signing. You're not signing off. Anyway. Let it die that night. Well, I will, for me, it never looks as good as it feels. You know, that's what she said. But yeah, when you watch your set, it's. Can I tell you the opposite? What's that? So Mark Ellis had recorded that one part of me. where I'm just opening saying

on Tuesday I started a movie and on Saturday I'm here hosting this. It's like the first thing that I first thing I ever tried to do on stage. And I don't remember saying those words. And then he sent it to me. I was like,

that sounds like somebody who told the joke. I was like, oh, that was cool. So to me it felt like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, go. But when I watched it, I was like, I didn't look like I was shaking inside, even though I was shaking inside. No, and you also didn't do that.

Well, I meant in terms of like the laughter. Like for some reason, when you hear the tape, it doesn't feel like... The same way energy. Well, yeah, you can't read the energy in the same way sometimes. But something like... Yeah, I mean, it's... I watched back because I got in my setback and I wanted to see. And it actually did play.

The one, the... For me, I liked the cutoff line for the school thing. That was the one I was most... That I felt the most confident with. Cool. And it played pretty well. Yeah, I like that one. Yeah.

So, anyway, like I said. that if you want to join patreon.com slash the big thing show, and we should get that up there soon.

Come on, Roxy. It's one of my favorite movies of the year. Really? Hands down. Well, I like it? It's pretty fucking good. It's subtitles a whole time? Yeah, you can't do it?

No, I'm such a little bitch, man. I'm like the most uncultured swine. I can do it, though, and I will do it. And I have done it. I just, I'm, it's in theaters, right? It's in IMAX. You need to see it. I have to wait till it's home.

So I'm slow. I have to pause for subtitles. because I can't ever read them fast enough. They do it really in a really good way. Because there's more action. No. Oh, really? It's a lot of dialogue.

Damn it. Dude, this is, that's the mindset. I wanted to Proxity to the screener so I could go with their... Well, yeah, there's no... You can go see it in IMAX, both you guys. It's like... I will. I hate this about myself, but it genuinely, I can't keep up with movies.

I'm too slow. You should try because this movie, this is... I agree. That's a reading. Hard. I'm telling you, this movie is meant for the big screen. Okay. It is meant for IMAX.

It is so good because it doesn't rely just on the monsters. It's a human, like most of these human stories, as I've talked about on Transformers and Godzilla versus Khan. You don't give a shit about the humans. Okay. I care about the humans so much. Which means there's a lot of dialogue. That's why I sit where I sit.

You see me sit further up because I can't see shit. I highly recommend seeing this movie. Oh, yeah. That's where we can't go to things because I have to sit far back because I can't see up. Well, so let me tell you kind of what happened. Don't tell me. No, not about the movie. But Regal, who has great IMAX theaters,

they knew how much I love that and everything too. And they have a couple different theaters that they want people to kind of get the word on of what their IMAX experience is. Which one did you go to? So there were options. So go to them. And I looked at a few of the ones that,

and I said, well, how about that one? Well, that's not available. That's not available. And the option that was available was Tennessee. Oh, yeah, Tennessee. This is why you went to Tennessee? That's why I went to Tennessee. So I go and so the team that helped me kind of book it says,

well, all right, well, you can go in this time, go see the movie, tell them, you know, your experience and then stay in a hotel, come home. I'll do all that except the stay in the whole hotel. Wow, you flew in, flew out. I left on a red eye at 1155. p.m. got in at 5.30 a.m. went and saw the movie

at, you know, right in the morning, left at 2.45 p.m. came back, got back last night. Had an hour... This is yesterday? One point... I had 1.5 hours of sleep on Monday. I caught up on sleep like last night. One point five.

Thank God. I don't care if I get a sponsor for them or not. Thank God for the Delta Lounge. That Delta Lounge is... an oasis. It is so good. I went to that Delta Lounge on the night of before I left and I pounded down a few pieces

of cheese and some other stuff. There's a little sandwiches. The Delta Lounge in Tennessee, we're talking. Bagels with the, they make this, there's like this little egg thing and I'm like, wait a minute. This can't be good. I'm like, it's been sitting, it's been sitting. Like, you know, you get into those

cafeteria. Holy shit. It was like gourmet stuff. It exploded on my bagel and the eggs just kind of spread out all naturally I had two of them then I went to the movie I come back to the Delta lounge again barbecue chicken macaroni and cheese barbecue chicken in Tennessee you kidding me but tell me you're in your 40s without telling me in your 40s when you said I pounded down yeah cheese yeah I thought you were gonna say some bruskees took advantage of the booze I had a I had a bloody mary yeah yes you did I had a bloody mary help you sleep on the plane yeah oh dude I'm telling you but like it was like but

I went road warrior style of it and just kind of like, again, 1.5 hours of sleep and just like, I'm just doing this. But the IMAX experience at Regal, I mean, this one in Tennessee, I don't know if they can, I mean, they have other ones that are really great, but this is like, I gotta show you the videos, super clean theater, but like massive, it's bigger than the one in Universal.

Really? Yeah. Because I love that one. Yeah, and that's a different, that's a different theater. Oh. But it looks, it looks, It looks, it's just massive and the sound and the quality of it all. And Godzilla at that height.

So you're saying I should go to Tennessee? To see it? No, but you should see it in IMAX. No, let's go to Tennessee, Rox. Can you line up that same thing? Go to the Delta Lounge. But, yeah, I would. Do they put you in the Delta Lounge or do you have DELTA?

I have Delta. I have Delta. I've got one with my credit card, but like after the pandemic, the lounge just went to shit. Like, there's not any options. No, I mean, I don't get into the Delta. There's certain ones for it's the priority pass or whatever. Sometimes it's cool. Sometimes it's like, oh, this is great and you can hang out.

How did you guys grow up? Like, I grew up with a dad who, who, I was so sad. I grew up with a dad who paid for everything in cash. I never knew anything about credit. I have net, kind of. Yeah, I didn't know anything about credit at all. Like I had a debit card until I was in college. I never.

I didn't have a credit card until I was probably about that. I knew nothing and still to this day I still have like my rinky dink credit card I've never had like a big grown up girl credit card I don't know anything Have you guys always been good with money stuff like that? No

Not really but like Especially when I was What I actually mad at myself that I didn't do it earlier Especially during like the Shmowdown days And all that stuff that I should have gotten that card And should have had that stuff for the miles and all those things It's a Delta specific card Yeah, it's a, it's, yeah, I have a Delta for it's, and, you know, you build up the points, you do all that stuff too, and it's, it's been great.

Yeah, I've been wanting to do that for JetBlue, but, because I, that's where I've flown to Boston a lot, but I hear that the Delta, now Delta, now Delta. And it's changed, because I remember years, years ago, I wasn't a Delta fan. And then I started flying with them. Yeah, American back in the day was like the dopeest, and now it's Delta. I'm on board now. I'm on board now, man, and I'm telling you, like, because I didn't know if the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. food there would be it was fantastic and the Tennessee food holy shit like you got to get barbecue chicken in general when you go see if you can't and I did and it was just like you should

see my face and this is exhausted able oh my god this is amazing but you didn't get to do anything in Tennessee other than you know it's hilarious is that the cab driver on the way to the movie theater was like first time in Tennessee I'm like yep he goes he is where you go you go home I go yeah I'm going right back on the plane he's like you only here for a few I'm like he's from LA. I was like, yeah, he's like, where's your bag? I go, I don't need one. Just in the, I just have my backpack.

And he goes, that's crazy. He's like, I've never heard anybody do that. I go, that's me. Do you not smell? I've never smelled you, but I would smell. At 12, remember, this is what I did. I got in the shower right before I left to go to the airport. And then I essentially, again, didn't fall asleep.

Took a toothbrush with me, took a toothbrush with me, did that in the Delta Lounge. Right? And I was, that was basically, like essentially showering in the morning, going through. and then I got back, jumped back in the shower as soon as I got home. Some of them have showers. Some of the lounges. They might have, but I didn't see it. After the plane, I smell.

I just, I can't. I smell. Well, on the way there, on the way there, I had the whole road to myself. Okay. On the way back, not as lucky, but it's still, the woman was very nice. You don't care if you smell coming back. No, but if someone ripping farts on the first flight, I'll tell you that. What is up with that?

Someone ripping farts and you know it. They're just nervous. Nervous. No, it is going to catch them. Sometimes I have. have to put my nose in my shirt. Yeah, because people don't care. He's going to let it go.

It's just so unfortunate. My eyebrows were going to melt off my face. It was really bad. It's so unfortunate. It was really bad. What's unfortunate is that we have to move on to the next topic which we don't have it.

It's the first topic, I guess, of the show. I can't believe they got for a matter. Yeah, that's what today's show is. You take it or leave it. I really don't care. I am having fun talking to you guys. I hope you take it. No, but I think,

think that a lot of the times the audience really likes us to talk about this stuff too. What? Yeah, especially for you guys. I hope you take it. I'm sorry. Don't ask him to do a dirty joke. Don't ask. I'm so surprised you didn't bring that up.

The dirty joke. It was funny. It was really good. You know what's so funny about that joke, by the way, too? But after he said, I don't know if you've watched the clip back, your reaction is awesome. And by, oh, that's what I have beef with. That's what I have beef with. Oh, boy.

Beef City. When you said on stage, you said, well, when I said to Christian, he's like, I really like what you're doing, but he looks at it, but you're not funny. I never said those words ever. I didn't even tell the full story. What I said was this. What I said was a lot of, I said sometimes. I don't have a sense of humor.

No, I didn't say you didn't have a sense of humor. Back in the Collider Live days, you're much better about it now, and that's what I was about to compliment you with that joke. We would throw a bit. Instead of complimenting. You would kill the bit because you didn't get the bit, and you would just stonewall it with your face, And we'd be in the middle of telling the joke, and you killed it because you didn't get it. I don't feel that way, but you have said that many times to the point where the audience says it because you've said it. Well, I don't think I've ever said that.

No, you've definitely said it. But either way. But it's not the case now. Because when Brett said the thing about the wood thing, because you've set him up for that joke. And he delivered your face, your face when he does it is like, you look at the camera and you do this smile. And then you go, my slit, my slit. And you played with it. Good.

I played with my slit. You played with your slip. And when that happened, I was like, yeah. So you definitely do get it. But I never said to you, you're not funny. I've never said those words to you. Yes, you have. No, I did.

I never said that. I never said, you're not funny. Do you know the day that I'm talking about? When I was leaving for Collider. So I didn't say that part, but. Well, yeah, I thought you were. So I'll tell it, too. When we were, and I've also told you that I've regretted that decision.

Yeah, yeah. So when I left Clyder. No, that's why it's a joke. I know. And I didn't take it seriously. But I'm just saying, but I thought that's where you were going with it. I wouldn't mind that if you did. Because I've told you that I regretted it.

When I left Collider, I said to, and I won't say who, but I actually, I went to somebody that I wanted to come with me. And they were like, no, I'm going to stay here. And I was like, are you sure? Because we've been together for a bed. Like, no, I'm choosing to stay here. I'm like, okay, that's fine. I'm not that somebody.

You were not that someone. And then when I was leaving, we had a, conversation about it. I said, I'm starting my own thing. And I said, what I said was I'm going to focus heavier in on the comedy and I need people who are funny. Some along those lines. What was the implication of that? Yikes. So, I don't know if I said it just like that. No, you did. If I hear myself say it like that, I definitely saying you're not funny. Yeah, you did say it like that. But I was saying I was, but my intention was, no, that, that, that was my intention that I was going to level, I was going to lean heavy on the comedy.

And then as I was doing it more, I realized that, because, because you for a bit, even when, when big thing started. It was, I'm still leaning into the comedy side of it. And then I even tell myself, I said, you're stupid. You need Roxy. And then, and I called you and we, and we had, because I, when we figured out the chemistry, because I think it was just you and I doing it alone before he was coming on. Yeah. And then we started doing it. So yeah, and I told you, it was a dumb decision. I should have taken you with me to ask the end life. It's so crazy how time can just warp your view on something, because I remember before the show, somebody had asked me, who is Chris Carr? And I, I don't know if this is true or not because I don't usually watch a show, but I was like, oh, Chris is to Campia as I am

to Christian, like the right-hand woman or whatever. And I don't ever think about me and you not hosting together. But that was like a good chunk of time. Yeah, at least six. Well, you were hosting Collier Live though for a good. I mean, that's in, but I do think that was good though. Yes, it did very well. We had amazing viewership and it, it's late. But it doesn't matter though. You still got a chance to do it. No, it was awesome. It connected me with Doreena too. And then obviously that's how we started a company together. And I really liked that time period. But yeah, for obvious reasons, it didn't work out.

But either way. I don't think of my head that there was a six-month time period. I think of hosting with you for a decade. We've been doing it for a while. Yeah. And it was a little bit of a break. And like I said, I think that that's where you come into that spot where you go, oh. Yeah, because like you said too, there's time.

You grow, everybody grows as a host. And like, I don't have that complaint about you at all anymore. Like when we throw jokes at you, we've done it a couple different times. one was the peg boys and all that stuff too. Like you go, you go with the joke now. The peg boys was the best. Fred just actually choked on his own saliva because he loves the bag. You got to talk about the peg boys on stage.

You got to talk about the peg boys on stage. Why haven't you been talking about the peg boys more often? Yeah, how things, we think things are so dirty now and then going to do with the, yeah. Yeah, I mean, these things called the paper, with their legs up and they're open for business. When you said the open for business, that killed me. Open for business. And then what do we put the, the, the, the, the, you and, what's his face? Real quick, I just realized this is what happens when you open up the gate by yourself.

Oh, you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't do that. All right, look, I'll tell you about a topic in just a second. I'll figure out what that topic's going to be.

Any one of our wonderful sponsors today, if you can, sign on up. Let's do it. All right, I guess we'll go main topic here for the day. And the main topic is going to be, all 824 films. They're all coming to Max. That's right. Warner Brothers Discovery has closed a multi-year deal with A24 that will see the famed indie distributor bringing the slate of films exclusively to HBO.

This is big. It'll go to HBO Max and Cinemax following their theatrical runs. The recently released Nick Cage film Dream Scenario, Sophia Coppola's Priscilla, Larry Charles Dix the Musical, Jonathan, and glazers, the zone of interest, and the release of Jonathan Demi's stop making sense, all fall under the deal. Sean Duncan's, Duncan's, Durkins. Sean Durkins, upcoming The Iron Claw and Alex Garland's Civil War will also be a part of it.

The output agreement follows after the expiration of A24's deal earlier this year with Showtime that a deal was struck back in 2019. It's not all, though, as the two companies have extended their licensing deal for A24's library of movies on HBO and Max, expanding to encompass more than 100, titles over the terms of the agreement. That will bring celebrated titles like everything everywhere all at once, uncut gems, pass lives to the service, join the likes of Hereditary and Moonlight,

which were already there under their prior agreement. Royce Battlement, great name. EVP of content acquisitions for Warner Brothers says in a statement, continuing our relationship with 824 to bring award-winning movies alongside recent fan favorites to subscribers, adds incredible value to HBO and Max Value Proposition. The diverse range of stories that come. from the A24 pipeline, make this partnership so impactful for our audience.

This is a big deal. This is a big deal because A24 is, especially from film fans, like beloved. Yeah. Belved because they just put out quality stuff, like really good stuff. I don't know how much I can talk about Iron Claw yet. I don't know as far as the embargo for review goes, but I could just say that it was a pretty powerful movie, right? And I just watched past lives on the plane.

Did you see past lives? No, I almost watched it on the plane, too. It's really good. That's what I hear. It's a really good movie. And it's different. And that's what I like about it is the way that they, it's not just conventional storytelling. And the 824 does that very well.

And this is a big deal for HBO and Warner Bros. Because they don't, they need stuff too. And they're in the midst of like trying to license their stuff out, other things to make more money. But to bring in something like 824 in their entire library, very smart move. And I think it'll benefit them. I think this is massive. Yeah. Because 824 is the B's knees.

It is the number one. It is the best. And when we think of HBO, we think of prestige, right? That's what you think of. You think of either Sopranos or Sex in the City or any of the shows that we grew up, like, just living for that were the best of the best. And Kirby Enthusiasm, just whatever genre they had it. But it was always Aces. And A-24 makes the best movies that are out of the last 10 years.

And some movies that you haven't even seen, like things like mid-90s, which is a movie that I love. that was produced by, I believe, Jonah Hill back in the day. It was maybe five, six years ago. But they do excellent work. And for Warner Brothers to secure this, it just shows that they are paying attention to what people miss about Warner Brothers and HBO. It is a little confusing, though,

because people think of A-24 as the little guy, kind of, right? And now them going to Warner Brothers, I think this is only positive for Max, but how are people going to feel about this for 824? I am curious. I don't think it's going to change much because I think that it's, it's, they're not getting involved in the creativity and of their actual storytelling. It's just a distributor.

Yeah, it's just a place for them to air their stuff. So it's like, I think most people are going to be like, that's great because you get more eyes on it and you can watch the whole entire library. And what it does. But they are the man. It is the man. And a lot of people who love 824 stuff don't. Don't like the man.

Don't like the man. Now that's the casual viewer also, but a lot of the. But a lot of those people, too, even the big film fans, as you said before, do like the stuff that HBO Max puts on. Max is one of the more revered streaming services because of the quality and because of the stuff they have on. And what this will also do. Did you watch The Gossip Girl reboot? No, was it bad? I didn't see it.

It's canceled. Okay. But, I mean, look, you can't have, you can't win all the time. But HBO did, Christian. That's the thing. HBO won all of the time. And Max does not. Oh.

Well, I don't know. HBO's had a couple things. I'm sure if you go back in the time that didn't work. What was that one? Oh, man, I remember there's one, John of Cincinnati. That didn't do very well. I didn't see it.

Yeah, and they have shows that don't do very well. But shows that you watch and you're like, this is trash? I don't know. But either way, it still has a pretty... Cocoa and the Breeze. That one didn't do too well. It's got a good color. What was Coco and the Breeze about?

Coco and the Breeze was about one of those monkeys that knows sign language or whatever, Coco. And the Breeze was a race car driver. And they were kind of an unlikely pair of detectives. But what did they do with, what did they do with Breeze when he was coming to the doctors? He had like a hearing loss for like six minutes or something? Six minute hearing loss. And it was just as, I mean, he's like, what, what, what, what for six minutes long, he just says what, what, what. And then he suddenly gets his hearing back.

But Coco helps him, teaches him sign language. And baseball. And baseball. And then it's, you know, it's like a coming of age buddy cop, you know, a rom-com. It's a joke fest? Oh, no. No. No.

Oh, rock comp together? Yeah, yeah. It's one of these films that hits every genre. Oh, so it was a show. That's what I meant show. It was a film that turned into a show. Yeah, it was the first. It was a film.

The film was made in 1930s. This is a remake. It was a show they made about the, I was thinking, but the original black and white film. The 1930s. And it's called what again? Coco and the Breeze. Coco and the Breeze. But that wasn't a success for HBO, you're saying.

No. In the 1930s. didn't do well with Coco. No, no, the show was not in the 30s. The movie that they made the show about. Okay. It can get a little confusing. For us, peasants.

And who plays the, who plays the breeze? The breeze. Is that Nick Nolty? Nick Nolty, yeah, definitely. Back, he's back, baby. Right, right, right. Big time. Who plays, who plays Coco?

CGO. It is not Doug. D. W. Who's the other one? Who's the other one? Who's Schmeagle? Oh, Andy Circus is back to do it? Oh, really?

Yeah, he's like. Oh, wow, typecast. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Interesting. All right. All right. Well, there you go.

You should be doing the TV time segment. I should. I've been checking out a lot of TV lately. Fair enough. Well, we'll get into all that. Video games. We'll end the TV in just a second. So anyway, I think this is the other reason why I was going to say this is a good move for 824 is because when you get onto a platform like HBO and your libraries on,

especially movies like past lives and the Iron Claw. Everyone can see them. And now there's a reason. for people to watch the Oscars and to hope that you, because what I was saying about the Oscars is such a The Oscars to me, every, I know you love the Oscars, we have this conversation every year.

The Oscars to me is... You're like, don't interrupt me, I already know. No, but I know, but I know what you're gonna... Don't get started on how much you love. I say, like, every time, I don't even watch Oscars anymore. Like, I don't, I mean, because for me, I just, I'll tune in who won, and I want to see what, because the Oscars is not for,

I mean, Oscars are for film lovers, like, who were in the know, actors, actresses, people who are in the know who are big film buffs and paying attention in this news, they are not for the casual fan anymore, the Oscars, they are not. And they wonder, why is it keep going down catastrophically

every year? Because no one knows these movies from a casual viewer that you're putting out there. And an opportunity like this to get your movies out there where you're like, oh, let's say Iron Claw and past lives are nominated, and then somebody who's like, oh, you know what,

I didn't know about that. past lives movie, but I just saw it on HBO or just saw it on Max, I'll tune in. It's getting a lot of nominations. It is the difference every single season between the movies people watch and the movies people don't. If it is available on streaming, people watch it, but a lot of these movies, even if they're available, they're $25 to buy and you can't rent them. And that's all, in VOD and it's crazy.

Which is so stupid, considering you want to try to get more casuals. And it's... You are right. You're definitely right. And this is a good move for them. It's a good move. And the truth is, if it's not Warner Brothers, then it's Disney. And if it's not Disney, then it's paramount.

And if it's not, like, there's no distributor they can go to that's the little guy. Somebody's going to get them and they're going to get enough. But Netflix gets buried. They're going to put like a whole section of like A24 stuff. It's a good move for them. It's a really good move. And it really puts them in the forefront of like saying more people know about our movies. Because I think the Oscars, the Oscars do have a problem of like there's some of these movies.

He's like, one of my favorite movies this year was American Fiction. Have you guys heard of it? No. Right. And Jeffrey Wright is incredible in it. And he'll be nominated. He'll be nominated. Now, Will they win?

I don't know. But American fiction is such a good movie. I would have never, if I wasn't in this business and if I wasn't, I get the screeners and stuff too, I wouldn't know about this movie because it's barely even promoted. I think it's Amazon. But it's so good. What is your number one of the year? I'm about, I'm mixing.

I'm not going to give my number one, but I'll tell you who's in the conversation. Oppenheimer's in the conversation. Godzilla minus one is in the conversation. Oh, they're on opposite end? Yeah, they're air is in the conversation. I love that movie. So those are, those are like three of, I mean, I'm trying to think of the other ones that are trying to pop it. Wish is one of his favorites. Nah, it's not it. I actually put, you know, it's fun, I put like a whole bunch of ones in there that I've ensured. I made a list last night on the plane, actually. Let me see where it is. I'm actually excited about 824 being on there because I have that same thing where I go, oh, that looks really cool, and then it just goes away and then never get to see it.

I think I've seen more A24 than, you know, mainstream, if you will. Yeah, they're the best. And I still haven't seen Marcel, so now I can see that, right? It's the best movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. So good. Christian, did you watch, are you there goddess me, Margaret, with your girls? So my wife and my oldest watched it together.

That makes sense. I have not seen it, but they both really liked it. Yeah, it's really good. Did she read it? She did. Yeah. So you know what's funny. She's a big reader, right?

Yeah. So what's funny is that I have... What does God say? It's your period. Deal with it. More or less. That's what he says. But I...

Deal with it, honey. God calling you. We gave you the rib. I gave his rib. What more do you need? You got a period now. Deal with it. It's been...

It was in the fine print. Sign the contract. Come on. You signed the contract here. You ate the apple. I said, don't eat the apple. This is all in that book. Oh, now God's sounding Jewish.

Yeah. Well, Jesus was the king of the Jews. Yeah. There you go. See? He got you. Anyway, what were they saying? Oh, the list.

Yeah, you told me it was on there. I'm not going to say, no, I didn't. Whereas let me put these things with these are the past. You didn't say God's in the air. Oh, yeah, boy. So good. Some of these, oh, you know what else is in the conversation, Roxy? The two are blackberries in the conversation.

Oh. I did like it. Blackberries in the conversation. I watched that on a plane. Really good. So there's a lot. I mean, there's other things that were, but I was looking at some of these movies that came out. There were so many movies that came out in the beginning of the year that was like, that was this year?

If Barbie wins best movie of the year, would you be upset? No. I don't like that. I'm not necessarily a fan of the movie, but I understand it. Because that's the thing. I think that public perception overall, because critically it was beloved, audiences really loved it, because I didn't like it. I'm going to get a set about it. No, because to me, that's, to me, that's.

like one of those things where I think because what I did acknowledge him when I told you on the phone was like yeah it didn't work for me very very well made movie right of course very well made movie directed very well too do you think that it's more likely to get nominated than not it could get nominated yeah it could

because there's not a lot of stuff that's coming out at the end of the year I think Ryan Ossling will get nominated for Best Supporting I know Dune's next year yeah Dune's next year yeah that's just the one movie I said Dune and that's not this year Aquaman is the only one

the big one that's coming out. And Wanka. Yeah, so I guess we'll transition into that. Wanka, to me, you know, let me do this real quick because I can actually piece this out also too. That's what I'm going to do. And then, Roxy, I'll get your thoughts afterwards. Let me start with this.

Quick, non-spoiler review of Wanka. It's the new movie based off of, it is a prequel to the Gene Wilder movie from the 70s, and they very much make you aware of that. They put the music in there. It's the lead up to it. It's directed by Paul King, who directed the Paddington movies. And what I said am I out of the theater reaction that I will echo here is that this movie,

if you go into it expecting a companion piece to the Gene Wilder movie and you're looking for that same kind of tone, you're going to be disappointed because it's not. That movie has an edge to it. This movie does not have an edge. It's way more of a family film. It's a full-on musical. I think Timothy Salome is very charming in this version of who he is portraying Wonka to be. But Wonka was very kind of aloof and strange, and he's definitely quirky, but it's a vanilla.

It's a vanilla version of Wonka. And they don't, to me, it was like in the original movie, you're always kind of saying, well, is he magic? He's kind of magic. And this, they're doing magic in the street. And I think the stuff with Timothy Shalame, what he does is great. And then the girl, what's the character's name? The button, no. No.

Burrupousal? No. No. No. I can't remember. No, but I can't remember. But the lead character that he essentially meets when Olivia Coleman kind of puts him in a situation where he's kind of, kind of work for her. And he is, he.

Noodle! I didn't even see it. I just thought of it. I just thought of it. I thought of noodle. Well, noodle. But she was good, too. Yeah.

So there were things that sometimes, though, the characters and the villains in this played like a Muppets movie without the Muppets. And the villains were awful. The villains were awful. I thought Keegan Michael Key, I don't know what movie he was in.

He's doing a New York accident in London for some reason. And that bit that they played over the top. But when you look at it as an overall Paul King family film, that you can take your family to, it works. So overall, I'd probably say like probably 3.1 out of five, but it is enjoyable.

I think you'll walk out. People are like, hey, if they wrote back, I saw it, and I walked out with a smile on my face, and I had a really good time with it, and it was something I wanted to see with my family, and I just was kind of singing and thought it was enjoyable, and I felt good watching it. I get it.

So that's my overall review, non-spoiler of Wanka. All right, Roxy, so that's my review of Wanka. What do you think? I think I liked it a bit more than you, but not, of course, it doesn't touch. A lot of people were like, this isn't going to be as good as the Gene Wilder one. Yeah, no crap, my dog. Like, of course, it's not even close. And it doesn't try to be.

It's not even in the same genre. So this felt like a Harry Potter Wonka movie. Or even like a Paddington style, right? Yeah, but Paddington to me has so much soul. Yeah, that's fair. And this, to me, was more like bippity-bop-de-boot or something. I did enjoy it, though. I didn't have the same problem with the villains because I pictured myself as a little kid thinking that was funny.

Right. And I think as a little kid, I would have thought that that was a very funny bit. For an adult, it's like, oh, my God, I get it, okay. That's where I'm coming from. You're coming from being an adult. You're looking at this at two different things. I'm looking at this as a dad with my kids. I feel the same way that you do.

And I think that this is, it's just that the first one is held to high standards. You can't compare it if it's not supposed to be related. These are supposed to be. Of course. So I actually like the story. I like the friendship messages. I think that that's really powerful. The music didn't land for me as well.

There's a lot of songs. There's this one one scrub scrub that gets stuck in your head a little bit. But for the most part, it's like when we're comparing this to imagination, which is just one of the most beautiful song. And thrown in randomly in this movie. Yeah, no, I didn't mean beautiful in this movie. I mean, as a song, it just did feel like we are comparing not apples and oranges,

apples and horses, you know, just completely different beasts. And I enjoyed it. I did walk out with a smile. I liked our leads. I don't feel like Timothy Shalame is at all doing a Gene Wilder thing. He's doing his own thing. But for this movie, his thing was adorable.

He was really, really cute. He was like this precious, this Precious version of Willie. Very innocent and very naive. Yes, and just like somebody that you're like, oh, get them, Willie. Yeah, for sure. And that was cool.

So right now, I think it sits at a 79 on Rotten Tomatoes. I think that's a very fair score. I do, too. And I think that, I mean, look, as I said, and for the way that Rotten Tomatoes works, anything three and over is positive. So I would be in that positive thing. But I think, is it it, it's not,

it just has got no edge to it, right? And I do think that the one thing, the difference between what. So they soften. the Upalupa Slave Labor. They do something with huge, I mean, well, what's his name? Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant.

Hugh Grant. Hugh Jackman. Very different oopalupas. But Hugh Grant is funny. He's funny. But it's like, that's what I'm saying, though. It's hard not to relate it because they're trying to relate it. And like the things with Willy Wonka in the 70s version is that you always knew Gene

Wilder knew better than everybody else. Like he had it over everybody else. Like he always outsmarted everybody. and he always knew what was coming. It was his grand plan. That's not this version of Wolliwanka. This Wollahanka can get tricked. He's a little, he's naive.

He's kind of... But you do get where then his edge comes from later, where you're like, oh, I would be a little jaded too if this kind of stuff kept happening to me. Sure. But, okay, so the reason why people don't love Alden and Solo, right, is that he's clearly trying to do Harrison. And the rest of the world looks like what is Harrison's world.

this, the movie, didn't look at all or feel at all like Gene Wilder's world. So it didn't really matter to me that Timothy wasn't him. Because even though it was a prequel to that story, it wasn't really a prequel. No, the bottom line is this is an enjoyable family film. Yeah, totally. I would definitely watch it again and it was cute. It was cute. All right.

What about how he got his name when he's like, he didn't have a name? And he goes up to the place and he's like, what's your name? And he goes, he won't tell him. me his name, Willie? And he goes, oh, Willie. It's actually one of, I'm the only person I know who likes that moment in Solo, so. Oh, it's so lame. And then, yeah, they were watching the Muppets in the background.

And he said, Waka, Waka, Waka, Waka. And he says, Wanka, Wanka, Wonga, Willie Wonka. So stupid, that's a little bit. Anyway, all right, we're going to close that longer episode today, but we'll close out with this. Roxy, tell me what I should be watching on television. Okay, a couple different things. Did you guys watch Squid Games, the game?

No, everybody loves it. Okay, I will say it is not a good look for our society that everybody watched Squid Game and then thought that this is what we should do, make an actual Squid Game. Right. But it is entertaining as hell. It's on Netflix. The premise is exactly what Squid Game is, but you're not dying, although they fake it.

They shoot you with things and you have to pretend to die on the ground, which is interesting. It's 456 players that are playing for 456 million. No, $4,560,000. Yeah, so $4.5 million. A ton of money. And they're competing, and some of them are backstabbing each other. Some of them are teaming up. It is, if you like competition shows, this is a very interesting one.

And I definitely recommend it for that. Yeah, that's on Netflix. Are you guys watching the Nathan Fielder show The Curse? No. Okay, so this is new cringe television. You guys know he's the guy who brought us the rehearsal. Yes, yes. And he is Nathan for you.

He is, this is a scripted show now. So it's with Emma Stone and him and Safdi, one of the Safdi brothers. And it is so cringeworthy. If you like cringe television, then this is like, you cannot miss the curse. Might be paramount. One of the streaming services that some people don't have, so I don't think enough people are watching it right now. But it is really, really cringe.

It's this about this husband and wife. Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder, and they are trying to do good in a community, and they keep finding themselves in these predicaments where they end up looking like complete jerks. And it's very funny. So definitely that one as well. I'll give you those two for this week. Okay. So two this week? All right.

Thank you guys for... Did you watch the show I recommend it to you? Which one? What one was it? I can't remember. I did recommend... I think you were in Bastian at the time. He said, I can't remember.

You can't remember your own. recommendation, then why should I? Well, I don't have a lot. That's a harsh way to put it. I have a lot going on my blame. I call the guy an asshole on stage. Yeah. And you're like, no, yeah.

I love younger you wouldn't have taken that back. That wouldn't have been a take back. But you're like, why did I call you? I loved you. You said, I set you up for it. Yeah, I said I called the guy an asshole. And then I was like, that's a dickhead thing to do. I was like, I was like, you answer exactly how I wanted you to you to.

And yet I call it you an asshole. Oh, the new Perry Mason. Oh, yes. No. You got to watch it. Well, there's something else, by the way. There's something else that. Well, I can give you more Rex.

You want some? Go ahead. All right. Let's do it. I'm pulling up my TV show. Go ahead. Okay. Every time Roxie tells a joke now.

Oh, no, that will make me so nervous. Okay. Let's go to, oh, so Golden Bachelor had its finale. Did you guys check out anything from Golden Bachelor? No, but it did so well. One of my aunt's friends. was on it. Oh.

So she was the one in the balloon. Did you watch this show? I didn't watch any of it. But I heard that his past is not exactly what he was doing me. Is that true? I don't know. My mom sent me an article about like he, the stories he told were in Bella. Like, yeah.

Well, my aunt, my aunt was like, you got to watch it. You got to watch. She's like, she's just like me. So I can only imagine. Did you watch it? Yeah, of course. She was the one in the balloon. Yeah.

So she's like about as New York as it gets. Yeah, awesome. Did she win? I don't want to spoil it for people because it just, just dropped. Did she make it for? If it's the person I think it, you're talking about, then yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it is very, very good.

It is, but the stakes are so much higher than normal bachelor because. Because they're going to die soon? Yes. Because these people are in their 70s, and a lot of them feel like this is their last chance at love. They're not wrong. the people who aren't getting picked, you feel, like on The Bachelor,

when you're watching these 24-year-olds not get picked, you're like, oh, who cares? You have a beautiful life ahead. When they're bawling and then they're like, this is the last chance I have my love. That's, yeah, that drives me.

When you're 75 and you're like, I'm in love with this person. It is really, and especially because some of these women were so beautiful. It's a good point. It just felt so much sadder. Yeah.

And he feels that too. The Bachelor feels that. Great point. And so the stakes were very, very high. The person who did win, what I will say is that it's not who I would have picked if I was him, but I do think that they make the best match. Okay. And so I think that it's a really good fit. They're getting married on TV in January.

Okay. Well, if you look at the cases of sexually transmitted disease in assisted living, you know that there are more chances at love than you're in. It is. I mean, they did fantasy suites and they knocked boots. I guess if I was in one of those places And I could You know, Gladys wanted a little You gotta wrap it up though

Because STDs at that age can be super serious Sure They really can take you out Yeah, for real Make you go blind and stuff How did Leo go out? Fucking Yeah, you know

Yeah, what do you do? Okay, one more one that I wanted to talk to you guys about Pull that diaper to the side, baby I wanted to talk to you guys about this Because you guys know I usually watch different I cannot Pull the diaper to the side I heard it

I heard it. I heard him pulling the diaper to the side. Hey, good for them. What's going on, Rox? What do we got? Give them some decency. It's called Depends. Depends.

Come on, Rox. So I watched a stand-up special that I wanted to know if you guys watched, which is natural selection, which was Matt Rife's. I knew you were going to ring that up. So Steph said something today that I didn't know. I've never seen a single second of his stand-up.

But he was discovered from the internet? What does that mean? He is extremely TikTok successful. Like, you know, he did a excellent job of clipping out his bits and putting them online and then they blew the F-Up and they really blew up to the point where everyone I know like all my sister and her younger friend they all know him and they don't know stand-up comedians at all he's like kind of a TikTok comedian and his whole thing is that he hates social media but that's what made him

famous so it's kind of this double-edged sword was Steph saying it like so that she was just no we were talking about um social media and just things because jami costa was on yesterday and we were talking about just how, you know, you can find, like, like, like, Jamie was, was found from TikTok and all that stuff too. And she's like, you look at Matt Rife and he's a, he's a social media comedian. And I was like, I didn't know that because, like, again, I don't have anything against me. I just never, I saw a couple of his clips and it wasn't, wasn't for me. So I was like, I didn't really watch any of his stuff. But how is this special?

He also kind of blew up on social too because a lot of people think that he's gotten a lot of work done and he claims he hasn't and all these doctors on social. How old is he's got very big lips and, like, different. It's less about how old he looks. I think he's 27. Why would he have... I don't know, but it's just... It's another thing on the internet that's kind of made him famous.

And he's an attractive comedian, which is, you know, not... Do you find him attractive? No. Yeah. I think that he... He's funny. So everybody who's funny

is at least baseline a little attractive. But he... Louis Anderson was... But when you're funny, you're funny. He... But the problem was that he put out a set that... Or he put out a special,

and he opens with a domestic violence joke and so people were really, really upset about that. I'm going to be 100% honest. I didn't think it was that bad. I mean, I just didn't think that he was really, it wasn't the craziest joke I've ever heard. No, but that's the whole point. We did talk about this.

We've talked about this story, even though I haven't seen the joke. It's like, you didn't see the joke? No, I didn't see the joke. So I can't say whether or not I thought it was funny or not. He's talking about somebody at the front of the house, and he says that that person was a,

that woman had a black eye, and he's like, that's the best you can do to introduce people to your, restaurant or something. Right. Whether you know anything it's funny or not. We talked about the Sunclair Live. You have the right in,

there's two things you have the right to. You have the right to tell whatever joke you want to do. You also have the right to be offended by it. But to try to get somebody canceled because of it or try to get to show off the air. It's a fucking joke. And it's like, and it's not. He also didn't focus his whole set on DVD.

Like it wasn't, it didn't strike me as similar to the conversations around Chappelle with the like going after the trans community where he continues to do and again, that's not me saying that I think Chappelle should be canceled. I think he's one of the funniest comedians of all time.

But it didn't seem similar to that. It was one joke at the top. So I was kind of curious. It was insensitive and people don't like the fact that he's being insensitive. He's a comedian. He's a comedian. Comedians are insensitive.

I actually thought some of the special was pretty funny. Okay. But you like you liked it? I like him and I thought that it was some of it was pretty funny. Some of it wasn't that funny. He's like the new Dane Cook, right?

Is that kind of like the way you look at it? A little bit, yeah. And the parts that aren't funny, then I feel like you're not doing your job fully. So it's not like it was the funniest special I've ever seen, but the parts that were funny. He kind of reminds me if Dane Cook and Pete Davidson had a kid. Okay. And doesn't he kind of take a stab at people that say that all he's known for is doing his crowdwork? Doesn't it end with like a mic drop kind of a situation or does that another clip by song?

But people didn't seem mad about that. Well, no, it was like, but he was like, what do I know? I'm just a crowdwork guy or whatever. Because that's most of his stuff you see on Instagram and TikTok and whatever. Yeah, he does do a lot of crowd work. And he does a lot of the TikTok comedians or whatever you call him. Do that. I've seen a few.

And like I said, nothing against Matt Ruff. I just never watched anything to where I thought was funny. But that doesn't mean that he's not funny. It just I haven't seen anything that I've gone, oh, I got to watch this guy. Like right now, to me, Bill Burr is the king. He really is. He's the king. He is just so laugh out loud funny.

Fearless. Was you're talking about before? Did you like this movie? I did like his movie a lot. I did too. It got blasted. Of course it did because it became political. It became political for people and it's a funny movie and I have no shame in saying.

Yeah, that was funny too. Me too. I had a conversation with somebody yesterday. You know comedians are supposed to like not take a, they're supposed to be able to be self-deprecating. I was like, the character gets themselves into trouble every five minutes and says things that he can't keep his mouth shut and gets into a lot of trouble. I don't think he looked like the hero in that at all. At all. This is my favorite.

I can never say his last, Nate, or. Bagazzi. Okay, are you good? Oh, God. It's really good. I'm also not as tuned in as I used to be, you know, but I would love to, I would love to check out. I would see that guy's funny too, but like some of the TikTok comedians and things, I do see a lot of crowdwork stuff. And it's like, there's a few, like the one, I'll tell you who's really good at crowdwork and also is a very funny comedian.

As a friend of mine is Adam Ray. Adam Ray is he does He does a character where he actually dresses up as Dr. Phil And he interviews people at the comedy story Oh, yeah, absolutely. He did like, he just had Andrew Santino and Bobby Leon. He's had Bill Burr on. He's really funny.

Adam Ray, R-A-Y. And he's an actor too. And we've had him on Schmo's. I should have him on this show. I have one that I love that I always forget his name. There's one kid that I know, that I see. And again, I'm not going to mention his name. But like, I see him, and it clips pop up.

up all the time and I keep telling YouTube to stop recommending. All he does is yell. All he does is yell at people and it's like and he's and his voice kind of annoys me. So I'm like, I can't, I can't do it. I can't find the one that I want to tell you guys about. I will next week. He's super funny. It'll be hilarious if it's the one I'm saying that I don't watch.

No, he doesn't yell so I can't imagine that too. It would be. Anyway, look, we talked about a lot and talked about nothing. So thank you for joining us today on the show. I love shows like this.
