He was here.
Oh, wait, he is.
Got to milk that teat.
Got to milk that teat.
But is it a good move?
We'll discuss that.
Got some news about, I guess, scream.
Going to do pretty good this weekend.
Dark Night Star, Christian Bale.
He confirms that he's in heat too.
Those are some of the stories that we'll get to today.
But I put a post up on community.
And I hope that for anybody who's in the check,
right now. I should go on over to the community tab. And I'm going to do kind of like a mailbag
question thing for the first hour. And then obviously, if you want to throw your questions in there
for the second hour, we're going to read them out. But it'll be like a Q&A mailbag type show today.
And the same thing goes for yesterday's show. Well, let's get to the intro first. I'll hit the
stupid thing and then we'll get into it. Should I?
Please, please. Please.
All right, I'll do it.
Howdy, everybody.
Nice to see you on this Wednesday.
I'm doing the solo show again.
You know, I got a good announcement that I can make right up top about the Wednesday show.
Starting in March, I'm going to be, I think, twice a month at least, if not more, at least two.
Kevin Smets will be joining me on the Wednesday show.
for those Shmodeon players, you know, he's, some would say, the greatest intergeekdom player of all time.
Mike Kalinowski and him are always up for the, it's always, that's always the conversation.
Heated rivalry, not that way, but they had a heated rivalry in Schmodeau.
And I'm sure somebody's making that poster now in the Discord.
So I heard myself say it.
Saw some people making it in my head.
Anyway, Kevin Smets will be joining the show, not Smith.
Smith. Kevin Smith. I'll tell you, though, what I've done, and I tell Kevin Smith, every time I call him and tell him this, I say, listen, I get to be very careful when I, because I voice text a lot. So I'll go text Kevin Smets. One time it calls Kevin Smith. And I said, let's not do that again. So I don't do that anymore.
But Kevin Smets will indeed be joining the show. That will be a nice, a nice.
I'm excited to have.
He and I are really good friends.
I've been friends for a long time.
We'll talk some news and we'll talk about other stuff,
life stuff and things and we'll take questions from you guys.
So I'll be good.
And oh, so someone asks, you know, I'll bring this up,
but I'm going to highlight this right now,
but I'm going to also, people should,
if you want to ask something before the, you know,
the ordinary question part that we do,
the super chats on the second half,
put it at the community posts
and I'll get some in a second
but I will address this
I have a question
when are you going to be posting a
leasing leasing
the new
the next episode of demon slayer
are you going to continue to watch it?
Okay so I'll give you an update right now
done never again on this channel
and I'll tell you why
we were doing it for patrons
we were doing it for members I was going to do a whole
super cut and then the people who make that show
the people who make demon slayer
decided they wanted to put a copyright
and block my videos and then potentially give me
a strike and I was like, I'm good, don't need to do it. I was, I can't risk it. And I really like
the show, but I'm not risking it. So unfortunately, we have to stop doing it because they're going
to start striking and try to, you know, go after the channel and, and even when you do the appeal
of saying, no, I did these things the right way. And the way you do with any other studio, they said,
nope, so done, not covering it anymore. Um, so I apologize for that. Would love to have done,
do you. We were actually going to, we did all of season three. We're going to do a big super cut
and release the whole thing to everybody. But I was like, no, can't risk that. I don't know.
And all we did was say really positive things about it, really enjoyed it. And they,
they decided to come after the channel. So I was like, nope, not doing it. Not worth it.
So really enjoyed the show. And nothing is bad about to say the creative of the show,
but the fact that they did that, I was like, I'm good. No message heard. I will not cover your
show anymore. Understood. So that's it.
Unfortunately, I've seen people asking me about the demon slayer stuff, and that's, that's kind of where it's going.
So, sorry.
Anyway, we'll cover a couple topics today because one of the things I will be covering, and I told you guys on the show the other day, I got the screeners for One Piece Season 2, and I'm actually going to be watching that today.
I have a full day today.
Now, I was supposed to do scream tonight.
But a lot of different reasons are going to force me out of that screening tonight.
And I'll tell you why.
The first is the weather sucks here, bad.
The trains are all messed up.
Probably could get in there and see it.
But I don't think it's going to happen.
And I think my wife hasn't seen, well, no, devil should have,
definitely have seen this one.
I haven't seen this one.
We'll probably do a first time watch together on this when it comes out.
And another reason, the first reason you guys are like, oh man, that stinks.
The second reason I think you understand.
We also have the Penny Barber interview scheduled for today,
and it's going to land right around the time that I would need to leave to get to the screening.
So that is the same thing I'm going to tell you guys that I told Roxy and Mike to let you guys know today.
For the second half of the show, which is the Super Chat portion, right now,
Roxy and Mike did great yesterday at 106.
So if you guys put the questions in there and you want to submit questions for the Penny
Barber interview that we're doing today, you can do that.
I just want to forewarn everybody, let everybody know just because you put a question in
today for Penny.
It doesn't mean that we're going to get to it.
A lot of people submitted questions yesterday.
A lot of people might submit it today.
It's a gamble.
So I'm going to say it's not a guarantee that you're going to get the question on there,
but that's how we're going to submit them.
because if there's, you know, 40 questions in the interview is going really well, also,
and we don't get a chance to ask them.
I don't want to promise people anything.
So if you want to throw in some questions that potentially could get read, depending today,
the super chat portion will be the portion to do it.
But again, just giving you that.
For warning, understood, if you're like, I don't want to do it.
There's no guarantee me going to get my question in there.
I get it.
I have also been posting a lot more on social in my Instagram account.
If you haven't followed that, I've been doing some food reviews,
which have been fun.
I've been taking some of the clips that Smetsi's actually helping me with too, by the way, on that.
And so we're doing some clips from the show.
If there's, and this is something too that you guys,
I'll actually ask you, especially like the Ed Herald's and the,
the, the, the, the, the discord, really, should add Smets to the discord as well.
if you guys have ideas like from obviously from the live show that we do if there's comedic moments that you're like oh that was great they should they should absolutely post that on social they should put that on the instagram accounts they should put that on ticot they should put that on you know the youtube shorts um please you guys you're the audience you're the ones that say that was good that was stupid um and then if there's past things that you think should be clipped out i know we're going to do mike shits the bed for sure or not mike mike's dog shits the bed um we're we're we're going to do
do that as well. And make sure that you clip that out for sure or let us know what we should clip out
for sure. Yeah, man. Let's get into some topics and then we'll get, like I said, if there are
questions that you want to ask me now before we get to the super chat questions, go to the community
post. We're doing this. This is like a mailbag type thing. But I want to get to just a few of these
topics. Let's do it. Let's start with this one. As I mentioned,
One Piece. I'm really looking forward to One Piece Season 2. I loved One Piece Season 1. It was one of those happy surprises. I never thought it would be for me. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I loved this show so much. And Netflix has announced that the first two episodes of the upcoming second season of its very well-received live-action adaptation of the anime One Piece will sail into cinemas.
screenings will take place in the U.S., Canada and Japan, with the North American showing starting
at 6 p.m. local time on March 10th the same day. All eight episodes hit the streamer. Tickets go on sale
on 26 at 8 p.m. All the theaters are participating marks the second streaming series that
they moved to their theaters. Stranger Things did it, which made more than 25 million for more
than one million ticket vouchers sold. Not a big cultural event. The first season of One Piece proved
a big hit for the streamer becoming the most watched season of the series during the second half of
23 with 541.9 million hours watching his first four hours.
That's led to a quick renewal for not just second,
but a third season,
and the latter is in production in South Africa.
Okay.
So like I said,
I'm going to be,
I'll definitely be doing reactions of this.
Absolutely, 100%.
And I'm looking forward to starting it today.
So my goal would be that I could put one out a day,
eight days in a row,
because Netflix doesn't do the week to week in the way that I was able to do for House of the Dragon.
I did it.
I recorded it a month and a half, two months ago, whatever it was, and then just released them all week to week, scheduled them all.
But you can't do that for one piece.
That it'd go eight days in a row.
Otherwise, it's lost no longer a water cooler conversation.
However, the conversation of putting in the theaters, this is a move that Netflix is making.
As I said, I know that people have that thing about billionaires and executives.
that they just right away, you're the enemy, and I get it.
I understand.
But I applaud good business making, good decisions, good leaders.
Ted Sarandos is that leader.
Ted Sarandos is a smart, smart dude.
I think that besides them looking and saying, let's test something.
Let's go stranger things.
What were our ratings for stranger things?
Pretty good.
Do you think that would translate?
Do you think that would give us a little extra cashish if we put it in the theater?
Let's give it a shout.
for the finale out there. They did.
$25 million.
That's, that's most, that makes more, most in a lot of these movies that come out,
the opening weekend, and most studios would, would, would pray for a $25 million
opening depending on how the budget was.
Now, granted, strange things that are a massive budget, but it wasn't the intent to do a
full-on huge theatrical release.
It was like, all right, let's make some extra cash.
And that's the same thing they're doing here with One Piece.
And they're hoping, look, put a little money into the marketing of it.
Let's, let's get those diehards in there.
This is a show that should be seen on a big screen, 100%.
Would absolutely love that.
Would absolutely love to see it in the big screen.
I'm not going to be able to, but I would love to.
I think it's tailor made for the big screen.
So this is smart.
And I think the other thing that they're doing, Netflix,
is now that they're also doing a little more test
because this impending Warner Brothers thing is happening.
I don't give a shit what Paramount's trying to do.
They ain't getting it.
I mean, I was pretty adamant that I didn't think that Netflix was serious about it.
So what the hell do I know?
But I'm just saying it doesn't seem like Paramount.
It just seems like Paramount's grasping or straws here.
So we'll see what happens overall.
What do you guys make of it?
You think it's a good plan?
Bad plan?
Put your thoughts in there, let me know.
And meatballs last night.
Yeah, and meatballs.
My wife said, listen, I'm making sauce tonight.
I said, I'm going to get home early.
So I was leaving a little early.
She goes, can you stop at the store?
I'll eat together.
We'll have everything.
She'll get some of the Italian bread, get some, get some salad and get some other stuff.
They're great.
So I did.
And remember, the snow sucks here.
So they have to hold, waiting for trains, doing all this other shit.
So I'm like, I'm at the store.
And she's like, well, the kids have eaten already.
I was what the hell?
We were going to eat together, so I left early.
She said, yeah, they had to eat.
I was like, all right, I'll at least wait for me.
You know, she's eating the whole freaking thing.
She doesn't eat bread.
I said, what the fuck do you send me in the store for?
Well, you know, we need it eventually.
Let's get it eventually.
Sitting there in the, uh, by myself, my lonesome.
I can't complain.
I mean, a really, really good bowl of spaghetti with meatballs.
But.
The whole point of this story is that it's Butcherbox.
Butcher box is the best.
I say this each and every time.
If you haven't tried Butcher Box, you should.
I'm hoping the PLD changed the link in the bottom here.
If not, hopefully,
um,
hopefully Luke did because they wrote back today.
I know that we're having a problem with the link.
It's got to be no caps,
all lower for a butcher box.
But let me tell you about Butcher Box and we'll hopefully change that while we're doing this.
really is the best.
Thank you to Luke for,
this is why I don't,
this is why I don't type while I'm trying to talk at the same time.
I asked Luke,
because Luke fixed the link in the,
in,
for this show today.
So you guys could access butcher box.
We get to fix it for the other ones.
So I was going to write him,
can you fix the other shows?
Not what I wrote.
Can you fucks the other shows for the,
F-U-X?
and you fucks the other shows.
Don't worry.
Luke will not be fuxing the other shows.
He's going to be fixing the link inside of the shows.
Anyway.
So, as I mentioned to you, the links in the description there for a butcher box.
You really should try it.
It'll save you so much money and good content on going much better meets than most stores.
So make sure you go and check it out.
You will thank me, I promise you.
and I want to keep them on the show.
I would love to have them on the show.
I would love to get them as a sponsor on my show when we make it.
It would be great.
So in order to do that, you guys got to get yourself some butcher box.
Anyway.
Okay.
As I mentioned, one piece of something I'm really looking forward to.
Another thing I'm really looking forward to is Heat 2.
Heat is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Recently watched it again.
So bummed.
My wife, again.
I was trying to get my wife to watch that movie forever.
She's like, that's not a movie I would like.
I'm like, you're wrong.
You'd like that movie a lot.
You tried to get me to watch it once.
I said, no, I didn't.
She guess you did.
I said, no, I didn't.
I won't like it.
I'll say, yes, you will.
You should do a reaction to it.
No, no, no, no, no.
So last year, well, sometime, I don't know,
it was like maybe six, seven months or I can't remember.
We, I started, I just, I did the same thing I did to my, my little one.
I just started watching it.
and just start watching it.
And not that my little one
watched Heat, but other movies I wanted to watch
and start watching it because she just wants to watch TV.
She'll sit down and watch it.
And that's kind of what I did with my wife, with Heat.
I started watching it.
And she sat down, she said, well, what is this?
This is Heat.
And she said, why did you start without me?
What are we doing here?
Do you want to watch the movie?
She said, yeah, let's watch it.
So we watched it. She loved it.
I wish we would have done a reaction to it.
We didn't.
Update.
apparently there's 175 members on the Discord.
25 people?
Are there 25 people in here right now who haven't joined the Discord?
Come on, man.
Links in the description there.
It's good conversation.
Great conversation.
I'm going to need the Discord, man, when it comes to the show.
Once we start the campaign for the show,
Discord's going to be a big, big topic of conversation about what's going on over
there, the people who have joined the campaign can be discussing what they're seeing in there.
I mean, Discord's going to be a good place for the community.
Already is.
So join.
Got one so far.
Ready.
Let's, we'll do a live update today.
Post a link in the description of the Discord.
Somebody.
But let's talk about heat.
Don't say leave it alone.
Don't say leave it alone.
They're not remaking it.
They're not remaking it.
And Michael Mann is.
is they wrote the story based of a book that everyone liked.
How many people just do that?
It's like cool to do it.
No sequels, no remakes.
It's cool.
There are good sequels.
There are good remakes.
There are good ones.
Yes, they abuse it like anything else.
When Star Wars hit,
they made these,
a bunch of shitpiece science fiction fantasy movies that were terrible.
That's what Hollywood does.
Oh, it's popular.
Let's keep doing it.
100%.
But doesn't mean don't do other stuff.
Yes, the first one's,
classic. But if Michael Mann's got a story, give it a shot. Give it a shot. I just think it's that
mentality, like, ah, leave it alone. Why? If it's good. It was Mike's mentality with Indiana Jones,
and most people would say he was right. And the version that they did, maybe he was. But in the same way
that they're talking about Terminator, you're like, I'll let the franchise go. There's a story somewhere.
There's a story somewhere. But you just got to get the right people to do it. All right, let's
talk about heat too because i'm pumped about it i'm excited for christian bail i think jeff schneider broke this i think he
did i don't remember i think he did um well christian bell has confirmed that he is in heat alongside
leonardard ocaprio what a crew he didn't reveal which character he's going to play christian bell has
confirmed he's going to store in the heat sequel don't let yourself get attached to anything you're
not willing to walk out in 30 seconds flat feel the heat around the corner when best lines ever
Last year we got a word, we got word that a sequel to Heat starring Pacino De Niro was officially moving forward after finding a new home at UA following Warner Brothers Agreement to allow man to shop the project around.
Several major actors were said to be in the mix.
Trades reported, Christian Bale was set to reunite with Man for the sequel.
Now, bail has confirmed that he will star in the movie.
He won't reveal which character he's going to play.
Caprio, who has been attached to the film for some time, is still set to play one of the last.
leads and the likes of Austin Butler, Adam Driver, Bradley Cooper, also said to be in circling
roles, although the trade reports clarified that no offers have been made to that town.
Chris Sherliss, who was played by the late Val Kilmer and the original movie was believed to be
the character DiCaprio has been cast in, but we've heard that this was the role Bale was circling.
Really?
I think DeCaprio looks more like Val Kimmer, which could indicate that one battle after another
chart will actually play sadistic villain Otis Wardell.
If he signs on, drivers are expected to play the younger Neil
McCauley. It seems nothing is going to be simple when it comes to cast news for heat too.
Here is an excerpt from a recent newsletter from Snyder who's been keeping tabs on the project for
quite some time. Today, as soon as deadline story broke when my best sources told me that DiCaprio's
fellow 51-year-old bail is actually going to be playing older Chris. And I tweeted what that source
told me within five minutes of the breaking news. However, hours later, when I had a chance to ask a
second source about it, they said that he'd heard that DeCaprio was still going to play older Chris.
and that bail was going to play Otis Wardell, the psychotic rapist who plays a key role in the book.
I went back to my original source and they said when they first heard that bail was being eyed to play older Chris,
it would have meant losing Adam Driver as master thief Neil McCauley, the role originated by De Niro.
The source then wagered it was possible that in order to avoid losing Driver, man compromised by moving bail to the Wardell role.
However, as far as the source knew, bail is being eyed for older Chris and DiCaprio is rumored to be considered the role of Vincent
had a Dodge detective.
So nobody knows, basically.
Nobody knows.
It could be anybody.
And I kind of like the idea that we don't really know.
I kind of like the idea that we don't know.
Everybody in general that is just circling this movie or potentially could be in this
movie.
This is amazing.
The only thing is, and I very much, I like Adam Driver.
I do.
I don't see him as, you know,
McCallie. Too tall.
De Niro's like, what, five, nine, five, ten?
A foot taller.
I mean, I guess it doesn't really make that much of a difference, but I don't, I don't
think we really care, but I don't know.
I don't know, I don't see it.
But what the hell I know?
I didn't see the movie yet.
It could be great.
I like being wrong about things.
I love being wrong about movies.
I have it an idea of something's going to stink that's great.
I don't like when I think something's going to be great and stinks.
But I'm looking forward to this.
No, no, no, but it's different.
Someone said, does height really matter?
Hugh Jackman is Wolverine.
That was the introduction of the character in live action.
This is not the introduction of the character in live action.
Character is already established.
So it's the same timeline.
It's not a remake.
It's the same timeline and it's the same thing.
So, yes, it matters to me when it's the same time.
timeline. It's the same. I got to believe that it's the same guy. So the Hugh Jackman
Wolverine thing doesn't really doesn't add up here because that that's comic book adaptation
to to that in live action. So, so I don't, I don't, uh, that one, that one doesn't work. Is the only
Leo's two inches taller, right? That that's okay. That works. So I don't know. Anyway, I'm just
excited about this movie. I love, I love that this movie's being made. I'm so excited to see what
they're going to do with it, especially if it's based
of source material with the book itself.
So yeah. All right, here's what we're going to do.
I'm going to bring up, where the hell is it? I had it.
Now it's going. I'm going to bring up the
questions. I asked you guys, if you want to submit questions to the
community post that I posted today,
then please do that.
Right now, we'll ask some of those questions.
And when we run out of those questions, we'll go to the superchats.
again, if you want to submit anything for a penny,
which we're going to do that interview today,
then make sure you do that.
And like I said, there's no guarantee.
It'll be asked, but just to give people an idea what we're doing.
All right, let's get to these questions.
I'm going to bring up these questions.
It's more like a Q&A mailbag, and I'll keep refreshing it.
So people want to do it before we run into the hour.
I'm going to kind of do it the same way that I do super chats.
I'm going to if you guys this is go to the community post you put your questions in there
I will read all of them answer all them and then by when we get to
an hour if we haven't run out of them then I'll go and um and go to the super chats
until we run out of those eight so far so it doesn't seem like we're going to have a long show
today which is fine you need to be more times of prep for the for the interview so let me
let me do this I'm looking forward to having smet's on the show because we're
some reason when I'm by myself.
Might as well be sitting there.
I love the normal people that are coming in here.
But guys, start rattling the cater.
Where the fuck does everybody go on Wednesday?
Is it because I don't do shows or they don't want to see me just blabbering?
Probably understand that too.
Okay.
Where is it?
Let's bring it up.
And the questions.
Bring those up.
First one.
We'll bring out the new ones.
new questions new questions we got 14 so far so yeah we're not going to be here very long
Sean McCabe the great Shaw McCabe do you think that we'll have to use skis to get up to Fifth Avenue
for the St. Patrick's Day parade no I don't man I think we're going to start running out of this stuff
and then we're going to start running out of stuff because today for people who weren't familiar
this morning woke up as freaking snowing pretty hard again and I'm like oh come on it's got past
this shit but it's like almost 50 degrees here today so
So it's mushing pretty quick, unlike a month ago when it was like six degrees and it was just freezing.
It's starting to mush.
So I think we're going to be okay.
I think next week we're getting our close.
We're getting close to 60 degrees next week, which is great.
So no, I don't.
I think I think this frozen tundrous shit is going to go away.
So, yeah.
All right.
Let's see.
Let's get to the next one.
Thank you, Sean.
As always, my friend.
Why does it do that?
I hope it doesn't do that every single time.
Please know.
Okay.
Christian unpronounceable.
Just wondering what nationality your background is,
considering the spelling of your name.
Thank you for asking.
It's kind of a mix.
The heaviest are Italian and German.
The last name is German.
It means wolf, which I love.
So,
it, I think it's,
what the hell is?
It's not, let's say, meaning.
I know it's wolf, but it's,
it's a North German origin acting as a simulated form of ancient
German personal name of Harteloff.
Brave wolf, I'll take it.
Brave wolf?
Yeah.
Great meaning for the last name.
So my, but my grandfather was born right out of, like, right near Salerno.
So, and there's, there's, there's a little Irish in there.
there's um lithuanians up too but heavily on italian and german brave wolf i'll take brave
wolf all day long about that i'm not making it up too so if you go if you type in meaning of harloff
google will show you so i'm not making that shit up not just because i'm watching game of thrones
how about that all right let's get to another one okay again i'm going to refresh this so you guys
this is the this is the mailbag portion and everybody here even we got to
I have like almost 300 people in here.
You should be 300 questions that you can go to and just submit.
Bo, what was the biggest challenge for you going from one to two kids?
A great question.
Oh, is that what happened?
One to two kids.
Well, my kids are about almost six years apart.
So the biggest challenge for us is that we were finally getting into that stage of like,
oh, all right.
She's like five years old and she's kind of.
She's, you know, obviously still dependent on this, but not as we can, we can rest a little bit more and everything, too.
And then the second, second kid hits, it's like, right back into it again.
And also we little older when we, when we had the second kid.
So, look, God bless Riley.
Riley is my age.
And Riley has like a one and a half year.
God bless him.
God bless him.
Dorable, adorable kid, by the boy.
But it's a lot.
It's just, it's a balance, you know,
it's like, because what you used to be able to do is, like,
even, even when it comes to, hey, Vivi, here's a,
you board, here's your coloring book.
And then great, color, you play a game, do a puzzle,
and then I'm chilling for a second.
Now it's, hey, do this, do that.
And then the other one, ooh, boom,
you just get hit.
But all worth it.
All worth it.
So that's, that was one of the biggest challenges, I think.
And making sure, you know, you got,
because you go into those stages of like you got to go back to that because when we get out of that stage of the chasing them around shit and you can go back into that again it's a lot like my wife and I would do the day were like no more that's it no way okay let's go to next and here it is what does Disney need to do to make Star Wars exciting again look is this is the thing
you know, I realize now, and I've seen tons of videos on this, too,
it's like people, I think, I don't have a Q-tip.
Where in the whole the Q-tip come from?
People don't let you, I mean, you can't criticize anything in a respectful way
without being lumped into Haterville or whatever it is, too, right?
So, the perfect examples.
I posted a short about the thing I said in the last Wednesday show about the Mailer and Grogo.
I said, people aren't as excited about this.
The people who are excited about it, the people who are excited, like, for the show.
The show fans are excited about it.
People who really want to see Grogu.
But it doesn't have that same kind of feel like the Force Awakens and those other things
happen.
We're just not in that age of Star Wars right now.
Oh, you're wrong.
You're a hater.
Why are you such a hater in pushing negativity?
That has nothing to do with negativity.
It's just looking around and going, oh, that's just kind of the vibe that's out there right now.
If I said, nobody wants to see this shit, Star Wars bullshit.
That's negative.
So I think that they're just in a place right now.
Well, they were where they didn't necessarily have a plan.
Maybe that's going to change.
I think it's been the same, I think, concern or maybe answer that I had 10 years ago.
Have a plan.
What's your plan?
Don't just get the hired guns.
Who's making the hit movies right now?
what do they want to tell?
Have the story then bring in the hired guns to visualize the stories that you're coming up with.
And that's the rumor that they're going to do.
And so it's got, and I think that's the other thing is it didn't, it didn't feel like an event
this trailer, right?
Star Wars, and I agree with Anthony Cheesman, it says it would feel like an event when it came out.
And it certainly doesn't feel that right now.
And I don't think that it's, it's, that's gone.
I think it's still possible.
But you got to have it.
There's a way, in the same way we just talked about before, you can, if you put the right
trailer out and you're like, wait a minute, is the magic back?
Everybody wants to have that feeling again.
Everybody wants to be sitting there and saying, wait, that feels like the magic is back.
You just haven't had that.
I mean, you kind of got it with the Obi-1 trailer.
I don't think that the show performed and gave you that magic back, but you kind of
have felt the magic a little bit. Oh, was it magic back? And the answer was it wasn't there. But
you can bring the magic back. And I think that that's what Star Wars has the power to do. So
have a plan, trust in the plan. And, you know, and I know that people don't agree with me in this,
but listen in the same way that I do with you guys, you got to read the room and listen to the
audience. Not on everything. Not on everything. I know you can listen to the audience all the time,
you'll be spinning your head around. I don't disagree with that. But
pay attention to what your, what your core is talking about.
And depending on who you're,
who you think your core is,
doesn't mean that it's,
it's just the people who,
I just want to see original,
trilogy stuff,
we're past that.
Great.
But who's, what, what, what is,
what is the magic?
What is the core?
What do they want to see?
What's, what's the feel that they want to,
what they want to do?
Like try, you got experiment a little bit.
And as, and I, and I,
and I,
am very clear about this.
and continue to be clear about this.
I do think that Starfighter is very important for them
because if it doesn't do well, they got to revamp the entire thing.
If it doesn't do well, they got to revamp the whole thing.
It does well, they stick to the plan that they're going forward with.
So, yeah, it's funny because someone's a skeleton crew was peak.
Yeah, but the problem is no one watched it.
I still haven't watched it.
I just, I tried to, I was like, you know what?
Someone said, watch it with your little one, and then you'll be able to finally watch it.
So I turned it on with her.
she said, I'm bored. And we didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't finish watching. I think I watched,
I think I've watched two episodes. Not that it wasn't good. It just wasn't for me. And I was like,
yeah, I'm just not interested in this show. But people liked it. I'm glad that people liked it.
People like Skeleton Crew. And I'm not talking shit about it. I just didn't, it just wasn't for me.
But people, um, but people really, most people who watch Skeleton Crew, uh, enjoyed it.
Now, I'm not going to watch. But I tell you what I did.
did start watching. This is how I work. I'm sitting down in my bedroom and I'm like, okay,
it was time to kill by myself here. I'm going to watch, I start watching peeky blinders.
Good show. I watched episode one. And I was like, and I said, and don't worry, and I said the same
thing. I said, I know, I know there's probably everybody in my crew hasn't seen it and that we could
do reactions to it. People are going to be like, well, why don't you do reactions to it? Because it's like
Mikey from the Goonies. Or not Mikey. Mouth.
This one's mine. This one's for me.
I wanted to watch it.
I just wanted to watch it and just watch it.
And I think that's what I'm going to do.
I think that's going to be my show.
Like I did with Tulsa King Season 2, which I still haven't watched three.
I dug it.
I did watch, it's true.
I watched the first episode of Pluribus, but I didn't, I didn't even finish that yet.
Peaky Blinder is a little bit more my speed, I think.
So, Piggy Blinders.
That's what I said. Anyway. Okay. Again, we got the questions, guys. Keep the questions on the
community post. Let's do a mailbag here today. Show some class. That's better. Let's do it that way.
That's much better. I like that. Okay. Let's go to the next one. All right. What does Disney do
do that? Well, would you travel to Mars if it was a one-way trip? No. What the hell is even on Mars?
I don't want to do that. No.
They're like Arnold.
Nah.
Gregzilla.
Who are your favorite YouTubers?
You know, it's funny.
I watch a little bit more YouTube now because of my daughter than anything else.
I'll tell you,
I really like that Mark Rober, Robert.
It's like today's Mr.
Rogers.
It's a good guy.
And he's stuff like it.
Because my daughter was founded on Netflix.
I started watching.
I'm like, is this appropriate for him?
Like, yeah, it is.
And he's teaching her science.
He makes it fun.
I like that dude.
And I saw a video.
I saw a video on him.
I didn't talk about this.
A long time ago,
he's got an autistic son.
He did a video about it.
And it was really moving, a really moving video.
I really liked that Mark Rober.
And he's,
he's connected to a whole bunch of other people.
So him watching those when those come up.
What other, Jeremy Johns is still my guy.
Big Jeremy Johns fan.
He got reconnected with Jeremy not too long ago and
love talking to him and catching up.
So, but as far as like YouTube,
I mean, I listen to like,
I listen to like trans music, Armand Van Buren,
that helps me think when I'm writing.
It helps me like do something.
I watch, I'll watch, what is it, the,
shit, what
is the name of his show?
That I watch all the damn time.
I'll tell you right now.
There is it.
I'm going to tell you.
Someone's going to know.
But I'll tell you in a second.
It's state of trance.
That's the one that I watch.
I watch it often.
So,
what else?
Who else?
I think of else.
I really watch.
I don't, I don't,
I was watching the,
why files for a bit haven't watched them as much lately i'll check out my buddies pevel and uh and vetted on uh for the
uap stuff um it's really it is that true oh josh harwitz watch his interviews uh oh chris van bleat
watch his interviews um it's probably it right i think so so yeah
That's it.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Let's do the next one.
Again, good questions, guys.
Good questions.
King X-L-O-S-1.
Do you think of Doomsday and Secret Wars is great?
What other Marvel properties can you see Marvel green lighting other than X-Men properties?
Oh, man.
You know, I think that, and I've talked about this for a bit, even when this is years ago on
Cape's, I think that they should stick in the X-Men universe, you know, do the big
movies, then do spin-off movies, do Cyclops movie, do a freaking, do the big event movies,
but then spin them off and live in that world for a bit. And if they, maybe they try a fantastic
four, too, you know, see, see if they can make that work. I don't know. So, yeah, that's what I
would uh that's what i would say on that one i think that um i yeah i just i i feel like xman
really is the way that they should go all right next one after that okay and we get um
oh yeah i saw this the other day the what are your thoughts on mayweather versus paquio 2 on
netflix september 17 it just shows right now the state of combat sports i think of meaning
Not quality of fighters.
I'm very clear on that.
There are a lot of great fighters out there right now.
There's no superstars right now.
Like major, major superstars,
crossover superstars.
I'm not saying that there aren't like really big MMA fighters
that people get like the, you know,
the MMA fans are like jazz when they fight.
Of course.
Aspen all other people get,
of course.
I'm talking about the crossover star like the Mayweathers,
the Sugar Ray Leonard's,
the, you know,
the Roy Jones Jr.
the Chuck Liddells, the, you know, John Jones, things like that.
There's not, the, Connor McGregor, there's, there's, there's nobody like right now
that has that same kind of, oh shit, the new Tyson fights coming up, right?
I know, it's a generational fighter.
I get it.
It doesn't always happen.
But when they're running, look, people, I'm with the fact that Jake Paul versus
Joshua did better views than most big fights.
tells you something, right? And it's also the way that you say whatever you want about Jake
Paul is a great market. Great marketer. Um, you get a lot of these fights are big money grabs.
That that fight was a money grab. I'm very excited for the Carano and, uh, and Rousey fight.
That's a money grab too. Like that's, that's exactly what that was made for. It's not
these two like, we need to fight one another. This is like the big fight that everybody wants to see
right now. No, it's nostalgia purposes and they want some cash. And that's the same thing that this is.
That's all this is with Pac-Cow and Mayweather.
It's like, I mean, how old are they?
87 years old fighting?
It's like, oh, watch it.
Is it?
But here's the deal.
And you guys will know the answer to this.
Is it on Netflix?
Is it on Netflix?
I don't even know if it's on where, where is it?
Yeah, like, because I don't know enough about the detail.
Where is that fight going to air?
Because there's no world that I'm paying for that.
There's no world I'm paying for it.
So, yeah, someone's in Mayweather fighting Tyson.
I heard that was happening too.
It's just stupid.
I don't want to see that.
It's like when, you know,
Thunderlips versus Rocky at that point,
it was like that big.
It was going to get to Tyson.
That's like, that was stupid.
So where is, where is this thing being aired?
Does anybody know?
It's on Netflix?
Okay.
That's like, if it's on Netflix,
this is the way, this is the way that this stuff is happening.
now. This is the way this, it's on Netflix. Great. Yeah, that's the way this happens now. Big fights.
I'm already paying for it. Now, this is why you subscribe and pay the extra money in Netflix.
Like, okay, because now you probably would, on the old days, paying like $70 for that fight.
And that's why UFC moved to Paramount. And that's why that's why the, that's why the,
WWE is struggling now. The silliest move ever was, yes, they're not doing pay-per-view, you know,
But they, but the way that, but they up their prices and the way that they, and I know the other ones did too, but with ESPN, the way that you have to like bundle up and do it.
That was a, that was a stupidest.
Usually they made pretty good decision.
That was the stupidest thing.
I used to watch all those PLEs.
I watched them all.
I haven't watched one since they made the deal.
I'm like, I'm not doing that.
I tried logging in.
They wanted to charge me an extra.
I'm like, I'm good.
Forget it.
I'll watch the clips on, on Twitter.
Really dumb.
I'm not even going to be the first WrestleMania that I haven't tuned into in a long time.
it was the really, really bad, bad idea by WWE, that ESPN thing.
Really dumb.
But Mayweather versus Pac-Yo, okay, for a Netflix fight.
Netflix has, it's like a new, they have, again, using the brilliance of what Sarandos is doing over there.
This is now, it's not like another league, but it's their, their fights are getting,
more eyes on them because of what I just said.
Oh, I'm subscribed already.
I'll tune into it.
Live event.
Cool.
Why some of these comedy specials do as well as they do too.
I'm subscribed to it.
They're making it.
And what you said before about Star Wars, right?
They make it seem like a big event.
Like when Chappelle did his big,
or Chris Rock did his big special.
It's like a big event.
It's the first time he's talked about anything with the Will Smith stuff.
It's a big event.
It was a massive, massive, massive.
I'm subscribed to it.
We'll check it out.
That's it.
Anyway, all right.
So let's keep going through these questions here.
And then we'll get to your super chats.
Okay.
Meladden, call it 446.
Can you do a poll both in live and the community post for the housemaid reaction?
Since you're not doing it with Sadie,
ask the fans whether they still want to see the reaction but with staff.
Time has passed.
The time has passed.
You got to catch these things on, you know,
I want to, plus I want to watch it with my wife eventually too,
probably watch it at home like our movie.
The time is past.
You got to catch it on those things in the release.
Otherwise, it's a waste of money.
6-017.
Can you tell us something about your show?
Yeah, I mean, I told Roxy this yesterday
when she was doing the show.
I wrote her a text and said, you know,
I couldn't make it because I was doing other things for the show.
But and I sent I, I, I, we had a great conversation, well, more than a conversation.
We're on the next step to moving forward.
The team that we have in place is excellent.
And we're progressing with the campaign really, really well.
I tread lightly on what I'm going to say and what I'm not allowed to say necessarily,
what the team kind of agreed on of what we want to make sure that you get really one shot of doing this and saying,
and letting people know what it is that we are doing. And I want you guys to be excited. I feel like we're a lot
closer today than we have been so far. So we're doing now weekly, two times a week, weekly
conversations to move because it's real now. It's really real now. So we're getting close.
We're getting close.
Okay.
Let's see.
Let's go to the next one.
All right.
One Red Feather Studios, if you could revisit and watch one movie the first time again,
what movie would you choose?
I mean, it probably would be Empire Strikes Back, right?
To experience it now.
If I, you know, I didn't know, because then I'm probably,
then I'll be able to see, you know, if you'll feel that reaction against.
That'd probably be it.
Zach Hocker, what YouTube content do you watch outside of movies, TV shows?
I mean, I think I told everybody before.
You know, I listen to music a lot on YouTube stuff,
and I'll go, like shorts and other things that pop up.
I'll go down that rabbit hole.
Connor Mullis, you could have unlimited hot dogs.
How many could you eat right now?
When I was younger, I was like spicy mustard and relish or spicy mustard,
a little bit of sourcrow.
I could crush a bunch of those.
I don't know how many get to eat right now, though.
Mason McFly. Favorite and least favorite movie and TV show of the year so far.
Oh, man, that's not that I can't answer that all the way, Mason, because right now my,
I haven't really even seen a lot of stuff.
My favorite movie that I've seen so far this year, I mean, what did I, what did I say?
I don't know what the hell I've seen so far.
What did I say?
I saw, shit, weathering heights.
I saw, you know what I've seen.
What hell did I say?
I saw, oh, 20 years later.
what else did I see?
I don't know what I've seen.
It's hard for me to say because it's still young in the year.
So I don't have a great answer for that one, Mason.
I'm sorry, my answer sucks for that one.
I'll be, I'll be honest with you.
My answer sucks.
I just don't have enough, I don't have enough to go off of right now.
And it's, oh, shit, 32 updated it.
I've got a lot more questions.
Let's go back to it.
More questions.
You guys, now you're fired in the questions.
14 for the super chats
but we're doing the
you guys are throwing these and I see what you're doing
I get it I understand
All right
Let's do some more
Cully Nut Burst
Great name
Been reading one piece for 20 plus years
Wow was not a fan of live action
Adipation that you're the first person I've heard
That has said that
Of being a fan also interesting
Happy you liked it knowing where this series is going
I'm doubtful that the live action
Is going to go past the fourth season
This budget needed to accomplish stuff ahead
be crazy. Well, I'm not happy to hear that.
But I have, I mean, you are the first person that I've heard.
I mean, not to say that you're the only person, but you're the first person I've heard that it was a fan of the animated and reading it that's not a fan of this.
Reson is cool. Do you listen to music while you're working out or in general? Do you have a playlist?
I'm sort of curious from music listening. I do. I listen to music for everything, for everything.
So when it comes to, let's see, what it comes to, like, writing, I told you, I listen to
Armin Van Buren.
I listen to a lot of trans music, Lily Palmer, a lot of other trans music I listen to.
It really helps me focus when I'm writing.
And I'll listen to that sometimes when I'm working out.
But like working out, I'll do, like, I have a playlist of different things that I've accumulated.
I have a favorite hip-hop playlist that I listen to.
and I also, I've been listening to
classic WWE
theme songs.
It could be something about
Bicep Crobes listening to
Kurt Engels theme song.
It'll get you hyped up. We did that today.
So,
so yeah, so
at some of the stuff that I, in general,
there's another, there's another trance
DJ.
I'll tell you, let me see, hold on a second.
I'll bring her up.
Good, I'll bring her up.
What the hell is her name?
She,
it is luckishoa.
Lucky,
lucky showa.
L-U-U-K-A-S-H-Y-O-W-A.
Listen to her a couple times, too.
For writing and stuff.
So, yeah, there you go.
Okay.
Now, let's go back to some more.
Good questions here today, guys.
Paul Hitchcock asked Winston and Christus on Friday, but curious on your thoughts,
if we were to find out that strangest spell from the end of brand new day crossed over into
the multiverse and affected Peter 2 and Peter 3, making them forgot as well.
Oh, did it?
It's a great question, right?
But I think that they were, it was specific to that universe, but that's a great question.
I don't know.
That's a good question.
I mean, you could get away with that.
You could get away with that if you did that.
that was the reason because it's Peter in general.
Great, because I don't know if they clarified that it was there, but you could get away with.
Galaxy Geeks was reacting to Captain America last night.
Do you think a Captain America Howling Commando series set in World War II would be successful?
There's a lot of history they could cover.
The answer to that is it just depends on who's Captain America.
What's, where's our Captain America after the events of Secret Wars?
So hard to say it would be successful now.
Are they doing like an animated show?
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Big 2-495.
That Godzilla show coming out soon so you should catch up on the rest of season one monarch.
Legacy of Monsters.
Yeah, great show.
It's another one that I liked.
Something for me is I got to really be like, oh, I can't miss this.
I feel like that right now with Peky Blinders.
I want to get back to it.
I'm like invest in it.
True squantrine official.
What's your favorite battle in?
Star Wars. Favorite battle or lightsaber battle? Favorite
light saber battle is Luke versus Darth Vader and Empire. Favorite and before anybody gives me
shit on that. It's like it's the most emotional and has the most weight to it.
Not just technical Yoda flipping around and Darth Mall and, you know, Obi-1.
One, two, three, spin, go, spin, spin, spin, spin, yes, spin up, spin, spin, spin. It's very
choreograph. But as far as your favorite battle in Star Wars, probably,
Hmm. It's a good question. Maybe again, Hoth. Hoth is a good one, too. The Death Star 2 space battle is pretty good too. That is pretty good too. Maybe that one. Oh, really good. A lot of good ones. Okay. Advice for someone turning 24, says Christopher. I enjoy it. And first of all, I love when people are 24, you feel like, oh my God, I'm 24. I'm getting old. No, you're not. I'm close to old.
You're 30 years old.
You're not old.
35, you're not old.
Like, oh, my God, I feel it's like, no, you're not.
24 years old, you enjoy yourself.
I don't know where you are, but enjoy it.
Enjoy every moment.
Don't, and don't, you know, feel like you'd have to accomplish everything in one day.
Just enjoy your moments and, you know, and make the most of them.
That's the thing, too.
Just make the most of them.
Mads 2, 614.
If Masters Universe takes off down the road, who would you cast a Shira?
man, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you'd have to someone that can match up that looks like
they're related to Nicholas. I hope it does take off. I really do. I hope it takes off,
but I hope they change some things up. I don't know. AP Studios ROC advice you'd give to someone
who is close to being able to make their passion or career and also in your option for a solo
business owner, is it better to use a business name or build your own name as a brand for social
media platforms? Cheers. That's a fantastic question. Um, so let's, let's, let's,
start with the with the first part there right and close to make it like if you're if it's is it better to use
a business name or build your name as a brand first of all congratulations to you
putting your passion in and doing your own thing but it depends because i've i've done a few of those
obviously with schmoh's no and then um schmodeh entertainment uh and then for me it was because i had
a lot of different advice
where even when we did big thing
that was advice given to me that I think
at the time was good advice.
I'd like do a show called the big thing
and I said well I don't know.
I think
because and I still
this is something like people I saw yesterday
somebody asked about Collider and he always said to do the
what if you were going to change things
what would you do differently? If it was me
I would have never done Collider Live.
I would have stuck with
the one-on-one with Christian Harloff.
I have just seen the way that things have gone
now with interviews and other things too. That show was
that we jumped I jumped off that show
myself and Clyder jumped off that show too early
because again when shows were doing 40,000
50,000 views at that time ago and it's not doing as well
and knowing what clips and those other things do
I was worried about well if I if a show goes really well and I leave
Clyder and they owe my name and they didn't really own my name
they just would own one-on-one with Christian Harlow I could always build
that out. So I should have stuck with that show.
I should have never done Collider Live, ever.
I should, Clyder Live should have never been a thing.
But that show
should have stuck. And then that's eventually what I did
down the line here. It depends on
what your thing is also.
You know, it's like if you can make it your own,
then you absolutely should use your own name.
But it just, it depends on your circumstance.
So that's it.
Did we get the name from the Josh Moshe?
No. Nope. So, funny enough, that name, the Shmows No, came from, Mark and I did a show at
Current TV for a while because of my writing partner now, Martini Paratory, who I brought up
many times, and she, her and I had been friends for a bit. I helped her with stand-up stuff
and other things. And she was working there and said, hey, we're doing this thing.
where in 2007 and she said we're doing this thing where with the flip camps and we want comedians
to submit themselves watching pilots and commenting and she's like you want to do it i was like yeah sure
i'll do and she's like do you want to bring anybody in like from the comedy store and i was like sure
so ellis and i just started getting close because he was on my um he was in my pilot and so i asked
him if you want to do he said sure and we recorded ourselves separately and then eventually we started
doing it on the camera, doing the reviews together.
And then it became, we were going to just call the Harleff and Ellis show.
And then when we moved it to YouTube, I was talking to Martini about it.
And she's like, well, you guys are just like average schmows.
I was like, yeah, what, and then she, you know, you guys talk about movies.
And I think it came to Schmo's no.
I guess Schmo's no movies.
Two Schmo's and no.
Chmohmohmohs no movies.
Ellis hated it.
He hated it.
And that was it.
So that was.
it. Anyway. Yeah. So that's, that's how that name came about. Okay. Let's see. Next one.
A lot of good questions here, guys. Good questions today. I like, I like, I like, I like this portion of it.
RQM, DSMD, were there any local New York, New Jersey comedians that inspired you or helped you when you first started out doing comedy?
So I didn't really start in New York. I came back. Like, I started in,
in at Florida State.
So the way that that happened,
and I think I've told this story before,
I don't know if I did.
There was a guy named Mike Shader,
really nice guy,
and he had started a comedy group in Tallahassee,
and he was looking for new comedians,
and I always wanted to do it.
I watched comedy with my dad.
It was always like a thing that I always wanted to try.
And I called him.
And he's like, hey, can you submit a tape?
And I remember saying to him,
I said, I don't know, tape.
I've done this.
before so I never wrote back.
I never called him back.
Never did anything.
So he called, to his credit,
he called me like,
he was like a month later.
And he's like,
you never sent me your tape.
I don't have a tape.
I don't have a tape.
I've never done this before.
He said,
well,
don't we just meet for lunch.
So I met him for lunch,
and he gave me a shot.
And him and there were quite a few,
Claude Shire,
I think was one of the guys's names
and William Mayer and,
and,
oh shit, Adam,
what's his last name?
I can't remember.
But there was a little group
that we had.
and they made me feel comfortable.
They made me feel comfortable and they were like,
you know, they were encouraging.
And they weren't like, you know,
they were just kind of started.
They were doing it for a couple years,
a year or two.
And they made me feel comfortable.
And so I was doing it there and I felt,
you know,
and I started kind of building up.
I remember I had one place.
And, you know,
the thing is, too,
what I didn't realize when I was doing,
Tallahassee,
like Mike gave me 20 minutes when I was,
I don't know,
I was maybe doing stand-up comedy for three months.
I needed 20 minutes.
And at the time,
I had no.
idea how much time that is to do when you're when you're when you're when you're starting out you're
you're lucky if you can get three minutes at most places and I didn't realize that until much later and
when I was already kind of established and doing things and I remember being on the LA scene and people
were struggling and fighting at three minutes I go oh my god what did I take that for granted and I
and you guys most of you know the story about me and burr Kreischer and I was already doing stand
up by the time he did his first one I gave him advice around the um and I watched him do his first
thing and you just watched all these things kind of happen, which is interesting.
But that's where I started.
And then when I would go home for the summers, there was Boston Comedy Club, which
was run by Barry Katz.
I started doing the show there.
So Jeff Ross, I remember young Jeff Ross going up.
But there was a guy who's his name shit, DJ.
He gave me some advice, but nobody, I mean, it was the group there.
But my big mentor in L.A.
was a guy named Paul DeAngelo.
Paul DeAngelo was a very seasoned Boston comic.
And he was great.
He was a great comic.
And he still is a great comic.
But he was in L.A.
and he was doing, he was older than me.
I think he was like 15, 20 years old.
And no, I don't know if that older.
But maybe like 10 or 15 years older than me.
Anyway, he, he,
he was
really kind to me
because when I started in L.A.
I was like, I mean,
I had like a wrestling persona.
I would, my,
my,
my,
my,
my,
my,
my, uh, my comedy,
I was 150 miles an hour when I was on stage and I,
talked about him before where he's like,
if you start at 100 miles an hour,
there's nowhere to go.
You got to start at 10 and get to 100 miles.
That always stuck with me.
That always stuck with me.
And,
um,
and I was able to and because of that I was I started it was funny because I went from
I was starting to go I was going up a lot in L.A.
Right around the time when I was working at California Pizza Kitchen with with Riley and
and and Brett Sheridan and then I got the job working at at WWE and I remember during after
I stopped working there I came back and I hit the I hit the circuit so much harder.
And I'll say another guy that was instrumental in my.
comedy career was Brett Ernst.
Brett was, was, it still is, a friend of mine.
And he was a regular at the comedy store.
And he called me and was like, hey, listen, you know, we, we get a recommendation for,
and I seen you been going up a lot.
And I watched your last set.
You're doing really good.
He's like, I'll recommend you.
Just don't embarrass me.
Like, fucking meaning show up, do your shit.
If they give you a spot, do it.
and you know that's all I could ask you to do and I did I just I just I again I've told this story a million
times over but like at the time when you were showcasing I had I was lucky enough that I got to showcase
in front of Mitzie really great Mitzie Shore um Mitzie wasn't she was still ailing in in health
at that point but she was she would come in when she could but they they were showcasing what
that means like comedians would go up they'd get a certain amount of time whether it was three six
or ten minutes depending on where
you were and where they progressed you or thought you were ready for and you would do those spots
and it's okay you get three you get three six you get ten and they was okay we'll do you'll have
Sunday and Monday and Tuesday for these showcases that's not I don't think they even do anything
close to that now maybe I'm wrong but they but I was like that's crazy I can go up to the comedy
store every Sunday Monday and Tuesday night I get to perform at the comedy show and I was getting
the six that I got I got progressed pretty quick at from six and then I was doing the 10
minute spot so I get to do 10 minutes at the comedy store and I started showcasing a
in August and Mitzie wasn't coming in.
She did one time and then I like him.
He's getting, I'm coming back and do 10 minutes.
And it was great, great.
And I remember this one guy and there's like,
we're leaving and we're getting out of here.
Why?
She's not coming tonight.
I go,
what are you talking about?
This whole crew that was,
I was showcasing with,
they weren't coming into the club because Mitsy wasn't going to be there.
I'm like, you get to work out at the comedy store every day.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, three days in a row.
And then you can do spots wherever the fuck you want to do spots.
And you're not taking it because she's not here.
What are you talking about?
And I remember November, I think I was the only one out of that class to get past.
And I remember Ari Shafir and I were talking afterwards.
You know what you got passed, right?
I was like, I hope it's because I was good.
He's like, yeah.
He goes, you got past because you hang out.
Comics know you.
And you're, and you want to be part of it.
You can tell.
And that to me meant everything.
Like my class was Ari Schaefeer, Steve Renazisi, Steve Simone, Rick Ingraham.
I mean, Sebastian was had just gotten passed about maybe a year beforehand.
John Caparillo had just gotten passed not too long ago.
So that's, that's a, that's a bunch.
That's, I'm trying to think there's tons of people side of there.
But anyway, thanks for letting me reminisce.
Okay.
Let's see. Next one after that.
Where is it?
R. L. Jensen, any chance to get Riley on the show just to catch up.
Good luck with the penny interview.
Thank you on the interview.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to just having a conversation with her and seeing like, you know,
I'm very curious about the whole journey and everything there too.
Who's this now?
I can't do with that right now.
Riley is in Babyland, man.
Very hard for him to do anything right now, and I understand.
Michael D. 8.1.
If you and the family were ever to travel overseas,
for a holiday, where do you think you'd go?
Probably Italy or Scotland.
We've talked about it, obviously.
Scott B, 236, do you know why some companies are more chill when it comes to reaction
videos than others?
I don't, you know, look, it's, it comes, especially with trailers and other things, too.
I don't really know what it is.
And I think a lot of it is algorithm stuff, too, for what they pump into the algorithm
or what you can post, what you can't post, all that kind of shit.
But when it comes to anime stuff, I've heard nightmare stuff and I, and I can attest
It's true. I'll never do anime ever again, unfortunately. I like it very much, and I think it's good, but I'll never react to it or put anything close to anime on my channel ever again. I couldn't believe what they were doing. Okay. Renaldo Leon, how do you feel about podcast shows venturing into Netflix and leaving YouTube? Something to look out with content creators? No. Opportunities or opportunities in audiences' audience. So I'm leaving YouTube. I mean, look, you've got to,
understand, especially for me, YouTube wasn't the thing that people put podcasts on when we started.
When we started, we had our show, our podcast, we started in 2011, the Shmo's No Podcast.
And we had to, like, put just the audio, because we couldn't figure out a way to do that much
video at that time in 2011.
And so we would just put audio and put, like, pictures over the audio itself.
Nobody was really doing podcasts on YouTube.
And then in 2012, when we started a toad hop, we started to get the video from them because Heidi and Frank had done so much with their technology and knew how to do it.
But we didn't start really venturing into video or being able to really put video on for podcast until 2014 when Kevin Undergaro and Maria Minos let us into their studios to do it.
And again, we were one of the first kind of people to really start doing that with video.
So YouTube is now, I mean, everybody puts on YouTube, but with ads, monetization on YouTube has gotten significantly better.
But there are deals.
And very similar to always talk about with fights and everything, too.
There's ways for you to get deals that are going to benefit and more people are going to see your show.
The question is how oversaturated is it going to be?
That's the question.
Okay.
Keeping it going.
Keeping it going.
Let's see.
Okay.
Dingus McNally.
Harlow, what's your favorite place you've ever traveled to?
And where would you like to visit next?
Another traveling question.
I like that.
My favorite place is Maui.
I love Maui.
I've been there twice.
I love that I've told my wife the day.
She said, we're not going back to Maui.
We're going to Europe next.
I know, I know.
But I love Maui.
Love Maui.
So I would like to go to Italy.
That's where I really would love to go.
Mads, 2016-14.
Thoughts on the Spider-Man versus Doomsday Promotions.
I don't know what the promotion.
are. I haven't seen them. I'm sorry. Mr. Endy Fanatic. Does CGI muzzle flares and gunshots and
movies ruin a few? I don't even notice them. I prefer practical effects and squibs. That's why John Wick
was kind of ruined for me. It's the same thing. I think it's because of me. I think I've told this
story famously where I was, I said to my wife, I go, honey, that's a great thing right there. How long has I
been hanging in the house? She was like three years or six years, whatever it was. And I was like,
oh, I don't pay attention to that kind of shit. Justin Bishop, for your show when you're finally making it,
would you consider an opening casting call of your audience for like background or extras?
So again, Justin, I can't speak too much about that,
but there are a lot of different options and things that we're going to be doing
with the progression of how this show is made.
That's all I can say right now about it because I don't want to say anything,
promise anything, but there's things that are going to be considered.
I can just say that.
But it's a great question.
Thank you very much.
All right. Next question after that.
Okay, let's see. Are there any more? I'm going to refresh it. And if we refresh,
is there anything else? If not, we'll get to the Super Chas. Yes, there are. Okay.
Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Red carpet talk. Yesterday I let Mike and Roxy with a potential question in my Super Chat. Funny question, a penny for your thoughts. Serious question. What genre,
fandoms or hobbies, interest her.
Well, this is for the Super Chat stuff, but I,
but I saw it yesterday. Yes, I did see that. I did see that
in Super Chat. Side note, I know six workers.
Oh, I love that you, I saw you
post this yesterday. Yeah, I mean, that's the whole point.
Look, the adult entertainment
industry is part of pop culture.
Pun,
non-intended. So it's one of these
things where, you know, you look at,
what I'm very curious about with her, where I'm
going to go with 100% is
the social media aspect.
because, and this is, I'm going to be, I'm going to be repeating myself here because the way I'm even going to open it is, you look at the way that that business has changed dramatically.
You look at the 70s when it was film and people would go to theaters and check it out and they were like, okay, you would try to get into that business in general that way.
Then the progression of the VHS tape, which they thought, oh my God, this is it.
This is the big explosion of how this is going to be.
This is, this is the future of the business.
and it was for a bit until then DVDs came.
But like anything else where social media has probably turned that business upside down in good and bad ways.
So I absolutely want to discuss that with her and see what the progression of social media has done for that business.
Very curious.
And as far as treating them like a human, I mean, I think that's, unfortunately, I understand what you're saying.
that people just see, you know, because of that job,
they, they, even when people, when you see adult film stars post opinions on anything,
because I do feel, look, I hate social media, you guys know that,
but I would much rather see someone, if they're going to post their political opinion
on their regular Twitter accounts or anything to as opposed to like award shows,
that's where it should be.
It's like, you're choosing to follow them.
You don't have to follow them, but you can't tell them not to post things.
here. And when they say things like, you know, oh, shut up and, you know, do it you do best and don't
it. It's just people like not being able to have conversations and just not like, yeah,
okay, maybe you see that business in a particular way and the way that society has kind of
told you to see it, right, or see those people. But I don't think that's the right way to look at it.
That's it. Sherlock, why are we at a place where if we don't like certain movies, we get
attacked and branded either racist or sexist. Dude, that's been going on forever. It's been going on
forever. But like, because unfortunately, right around the time like 2016 or so, um,
movies became, and I don't, and I always preface this because it's always got the same answer.
The movies, always been politicized. Yes, movies always have political themes and thus too.
But the fan bases became almost like weaponized. And it became a political thing. Left
versus right in movies.
If you really love stuff,
then you're a left-wing chill.
If you really,
if you don't like something,
then you're a right-wing hater.
And I'm not saying that those two things don't exist.
They certainly do.
But you cannot like something,
and it doesn't mean that you're lumped in
with someone who just hates everything.
You can think something is going to look decent,
but it doesn't mean that you just love everything
because you're paid to.
But you can't win.
And so I don't know, you just kind of trying to turn your head away from it and just do your own thing.
Because it gets frustrating on both sides of it, to be honest.
Okay.
Dick Smoker, can you ever show the footage of the Fifth Wheel?
What was your experience like on that show?
Also, did you ever do Blind Date?
I did not do Blind Date.
I don't even know where it exists that episode of Fifth Wheel.
I don't even know where exists.
I think it's on a VHS tape somewhere.
I had a good experience on it.
I mean, I won.
But, you know, I probably wouldn't want to watch it now.
Wouldn't want my wife to watch it.
But it's, it was, you know,
I was a fucking horn dog when I was 25 years old, 26 years old.
But I actually wound up going out with that girl that I,
that I won with a few different times.
She was really nice.
It was Gabby.
She was nice.
I liked her.
Um, it didn't work out, obviously, and for good reason.
Got a beautiful wife and two kids.
But, uh, yeah, I don't know.
I don't even know where it is.
No clue.
So, um, definitely got, I got, I got turned away by one of the girls, too.
I'll say that.
Um, there was, there were three.
And one of them, not, not, no, it was like, she's like, and it was a whole thing.
But she was like, what happened?
It's, I can't remember the whole thing.
Anyway, it was a very, it was a very funny, uh, very funny episode.
I don't know what the hell.
But no, I was on that and I was on a show called Tail Daiters when I first got out to L.A.
Tail Daters, the two shows, the two dating shows I was on when I first got to L.A.
Okay.
Let's see.
Next one after that.
Where is it?
I'm looking.
Lots of great questions here, guys.
Can you ever show the footage?
Ryan Fennelly 37.
If Star Wars can ever get back to the hype of the Force Awakens-Rogun era, would you ever consider doing an O.G
Jedi Council reunion. No. And I think it's just because of where I was. I really, and I know,
and not the people I worked with. I never, I always want to make sure that people know this.
If I could erase anything from my working past, it has nothing to do with the people I worked
with because I really loved the people. If there was like, if you could erase people you worked with,
would you know. But if I could erase shows that I did, I would get rid, I would never done Jedi Council.
would have never maybe Jedi counsel for like the first like the first like year first like year I
would have done it it was fun when it was me John and we were doing in the beginning it was fun leading
to force awakens and laughter was that that was fun but then after that I would have I said let's do it for a
year and then that's it cloud alive never would have done it um I would like I said I would have just done
one-on-one with Harlow kept doing the schmows no live show for I wouldn't have changed certain things on on
Schmo's note, but like, again, hindsight.
But no, I wouldn't want anything to do with the Jedi Council.
Thank you, though.
Okay, let's see.
Next one after that.
There is it?
I'm looking.
Okay.
Brian Fenley, what's your favorite schmodeon moment of all time?
I can't just pick one.
I'll pick one that I loved.
The Five Horseman moment to this day is still,
you've never seen it, you should.
It's still one of my favorite moments because it really,
everything came together really well.
It really showed me the kind of professional that Andrew Guy was.
I've talked about this because Andrew and I got into a heated argument in the afterwards
where there was a moment that was happening on stage where there's John Carlos,
and I couldn't hear.
I couldn't hear him because the might have.
weren't great and I couldn't hear him and they said John Carlo Stanton for the answer.
It was Esposito. He said, Stanton, that's the wrong answer. And so right away, it's like, no,
that's incorrect. Moving on. But I said what? And because of it, Andrew said, no, no, you said what?
And I said, well, we got to rule against them. And we even, and we even wound up giving them an
extra thing, whatever. Shire Wolves wound up winning. So Andrew was heated about it. But he was really
heated about. And I remember thinking myself, this guy's fucking pissed off now, because I've
dealt with people like this inside of this road. I don't know. No names. That you're like, okay,
they're pissed off now. They're not going to do what they're supposed to do here. This is going to be
a fucking problem. The moment's going to be ruined. And we had this whole thing set up because
we had this whole thing set up, win or lose what Andrew Guy was supposed to do to set up this whole
thing with horsemen. He didn't waver from it. He stuck exactly to it. I, you know, I made sure because
I was at one point, I said, at one point, I said,
because when we were moving to it, I said, when Dan comes out, because at first he was giving him shit,
I go, you got to be scared.
Because if you're not scared of him, it doesn't lead up to what we want to do here.
If you're just like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, then it doesn't show the aura of Dan Merle.
And he got it right away in the practice when we were doing it.
And I was like, okay, he's not going to listen to me.
And he's going to fucking, you know, he's going to be a dick to Dan.
He's going to act.
He's not going to listen.
he stuck to every single thing that we did.
He improvised a couple things that were brilliant.
And he really set that moment up.
Genius.
He set it up really, really well.
And Ben did a really good job, too.
And then when they came out,
they,
it just worked.
It was great.
It was great.
So that's probably my best probably my favorite.
Okay.
Next one after that.
Let's see.
Dick Smoker.
How old were you the first time you went to the movies the first time?
I think it was like two.
My dad someone was like, I don't remember it.
I think my dad took one of the two.
Dick Smoker, what's your favorite pizza place in New York and L.A.?
I'll tell you my favorite pizza place right now in I'll give you Long Island
is probably Talia's with Dario's being a close second.
And L.A.
Hmm.
L.A.
I would probably say which one.
I don't mind.
Joe's in Beverly Hills isn't bad.
And then a pizza wagon of Brooklyn is pretty good too in L.A.
Mladen, Kulik.
Why are we not seeing reactions with you and Tina?
So Tina has been, Tina's gave me her, her avails.
I have to get back to her.
It's on my list to do today, trying to get March.
But I'm trying to, I'm trying to find things for everybody for Tina.
And Ming and Steph and Winston, I'm trying to find things that you guys are going to click on.
Because I'm going to finish John Wick with Tina and see if that works.
Sam's got Game of Thrones and she's going to do Harry Potter and Star Wars.
Everybody knows everyone's clicking on Sam's video.
Got to get you guys click on the other ones.
So that's what we're doing.
All right, let me see.
I'm going to try to refresh it.
See if there's anything else on this one.
If not, we'll get to your superchats.
Um, okay, there's three more in here.
So let's do, let's do three more and then we'll move to the superchats.
21 in there so far right now.
Okay.
So let's see.
Here it is.
Mosley, 1768, just started reading the Darth Bain trilogy.
If you had to choose a series on Darth Bain or a series on Darth Plague is,
Bain.
I love, I love the Plaguez novel.
I think it's great.
but you're still dealing with legacy characters
and it eventually leads into episode one,
which doesn't mean that's a bad thing.
It could be great.
But if you started Bain,
you could really build out that era of the old republic
and show how the rule of two started.
I would, I mean, and it's written so well.
And you could get Drew Carpici to come in
And I mean, I would, I would, that would be a little thing I'd be, I'd be pitching that thing every day if I was in the creative room.
Ryan, finally, were you ever actually close to getting Boyega on Jedi Council?
Yeah.
So when I, so if you've seen that video, I walked in, I did the, I did the press junket when I was working for Fandango, but I was still working with Collider at the time.
I was working for both.
But I walked into the Force Awakens.
and Feinego got me the Force Awakens' Junkin, and I walked in and Boyega, we sat down,
Boygan goes, wait, before we start, I want to start this interview.
I said, go ahead.
And he goes, I want to let you know that I'm a big fan of AMC movie talk.
And I was like, really?
So yeah, watch it all the time.
And so we started talking about, I was like, I want to get you on Jedi Counties.
Like, I'll come on for sure.
And then when we stopped filming, I said, dude, you got it really come on.
I said, I will, 100%.
Then we reached out, didn't work.
Saw him at the premiere.
He gave me the, you know, the what's up.
Maybe he was busy as shit.
And then never.
happened. So, and then, you know, now he doesn't want to ever want to talk about, he doesn't want to talk about Star Wars, but I'd love to, I'd love to have a conversation with that guy. He was cool shit. He was one of my, I, all the interviews I did that day were great. And they were all really, really nice days. He really was sick that day. Um, but they were all, um, they were all really nice. My two favorite interviews were Boyega and Gwendolyn Christie.
Gwendolyn Christie was wonderful. She was so nice. Really liked her a lot.
I liked all of them, but those two were the ones that stood out.
Okay.
Is that everything?
Perhaps.
We did that.
Okay, let's see.
I'm going to refresh it once and we'll get the Super chat.
Refresh it one more time.
And we'll see.
Oh, two more.
Haskell.
Yo, man, I just retweeted to you the new first official trailer for Mortal Kombat 2 live reaction.
Also, Metallica is playing the sphere in Las Vegas right in the October.
I feel like somebody told me about this.
I know you'll be front row headway.
I won't be there, but I'm sure Ellis will be.
But I've heard about that.
And that's pretty great.
That's pretty great.
Sol Show.
If the Schmodan was a completely scripted work,
what would have been major Austin Rock like rivalries?
Who would have been pushed more?
This is a great question.
P.S., they packed the end of Skeleton crew
with a lot of lawyer that will be part of this big time period going forward.
Is there more of their home?
It's worth watching for that alone.
I don't know, maybe eventually.
I just, I just was so bored.
I was just bored by that show.
I was like, eh.
It wasn't interested.
So, yeah, live action, Mortal Kombat,
let's see how it is.
Interested, but I'm not like, you know,
I don't think I'm going to do trailer reaction to it.
Okay, so I loved Saul's question there
because this would be, and definitely people would be,
sometimes people thought,
that showdown was fixed.
The matches were never fixed because a lot of things would have happened.
First of all,
a guy wouldn't have beaten Dan,
that Dan would have played Sam when they were both,
you know,
their prime at that point.
And it would have been Sam versus Dan in the,
in a live event.
And when Dan,
when Sam still had the title,
the first time before he retired,
that would have been a huge thing.
I would have had,
you know,
Roka probably,
would have held on to the title a little longer than losing in his first defense against Riley.
Definitely would have had him do a couple more to lead to another rematch with Dan and do a live event there for that.
Wouldn't have had the Patriots lose to above the line.
They would have gone 10 and O for sure and then built up another super team.
And Shire Wolves would have had it a lot longer.
So corruption would have had all of the titles.
Mike would have won all three titles.
So yeah, tons of stuff I would have done if I was allowed to, you know, actually fix the things.
Andrew Guy would have been a world champion for a long time.
I would have absolutely pushed Andrew Guy to the moon if, you know, if that's what it was.
Andrew Guy would have been a champion for quite a bit.
Probably would have lost that match to Dan and then won a match against Dan later.
Andrew Guy was, especially when we turned him face for a bet, he was supposed to be like my
rock because he was the guy that the audience loved, hated so much as a bad guy that they
started to love him because he was so bad as a bad guy. So he did what Austin and the Rock did. So
yeah, tons of people I would have pushed. I would have pushed your ass for sure. I definitely
would push Saul. Saul's one of the strongest fucking dudes I have ever come across.
of my life, by the way. I don't know if I told you guys this. So there's a moment with Saul,
where Saul got pissed off about the turn in, and I think it was the Dan versus, when Dan and
we turned Dan heel and, and Saul went nuts. And the goal was and Saul, Saul's a,
so he knows he's like, Saul was to push forward and I had to hold him. And I had to hold Saul.
That dude, it was like holding back the big show. I couldn't believe how strong a little fucker was.
I was like, holy shit.
This strong dude.
I think Saul was one of the strongest people in this room.
I couldn't believe it.
I was like trying to push like a boulder.
I'm like, I'm like six foot.
So I can, I can, you know, it doesn't necessarily mean anything being taller.
But, you know, I wasn't working out at the time.
But still, it was like, I couldn't believe it.
I remember telling Ellis, I'm like, that dude's a strong dude.
So I wouldn't bet against Saul.
Okay.
Let's see. Anything else there?
I think that's it for those questions.
We'll get to the superchats in just a moment.
But I'm going to be, I'm going to refresh this one more time and then I'm going to be done with this.
Two more.
Okay.
Dwight Love 926.
Are you planning on collaborating with going on any shows to help promoting the pilot when it's time?
Yes.
Thank you for asking.
So Luke asked me this yesterday.
Time permitting and everything too.
I can't be already told me that I can go on and promote over there.
I'm going to reach out to Burt.
Let's see if I can get on a Burt show and see if I can do that.
But yes, absolutely.
We'll be doing that for sure.
Once the campaign has been launched,
I'll be looking into doing that and seeing what I could do for sure.
But yeah, thank you.
100%.
Yeah, got to push that out there.
Because when I'm working against,
like the positive and the negative here is.
I literally were talking about this on the on the call yesterday.
The positive is that with Chris Stockman, Markiplier, there's another YouTuber making movies,
and they have kind of started to pave the way as far as what YouTubers can do
with their audience and what the audience really wants to do and support that they will
to make sure that the creators get things done.
And those, all three of them are doing movies.
I want to be one of the first, if not the first, one to really do.
do it in this grand scale kind of television side. I know people have made television pilots,
but where we're going, the things that we're doing, the people we're working with,
are going to try to actually do it as if it's a network pilot. My goal is that you guys
want to buck against the system the same way that we do and the same way that those
three people bucked against the system and said, no, you don't get to decide what gets greenlit
networks. We do. We're going to make this. And my goal is that we hit our goal. We hit our
goal what we need to hit on day one.
But I'll be promoting it
everywhere that I can. So,
anyway.
Okay, let's see. Next one, or maybe last
one for now on this one
until we get through that.
Husker for life.
Hey, Kristen, have you heard of the new movie on Prime called The Bluff?
It's basically die hard with pirates and Curl Urban
is a bad guy in it. No. No, I haven't heard about that. Is any good?
I haven't heard it.
Okay. All right, that's it for the questions on the Q&A portion of things. Thank you so much.
Really, really nice. Oh, shit, we did an hour and 31 minutes just on that. So now we're going to get to all your super chats.
Thank you. Let's get into it. Let's start. We got 23. Let's do 23, 23, 23, 23. I don't think we can do 106, but hey, who knows?
All right. Here we go. He-man creator, Rob.
Roger Sweet has dementia.
Oh, no.
His wife set up,
go find me to help the cost
for his care of anyone's
helping out.
Thank you, Johnny,
for letting us know that.
Please, yeah,
I'll probably double check that for sure.
Man, it's a great,
great avatar, by the way.
Go pal.
Probably tied up with work today,
but I'm sorry to miss
what I hope will be one of those shows.
No, I think it was a little bit more,
I think it was more subdued.
I mean, it was more subdued today.
But it was good.
I like going into those kinds of stories
and stuff too every once in a while.
Go, pal.
Watch the first.
three out of four of Excalibur last night before getting called into work.
Almost forgotten.
Every UK Irish actor of that group is in it.
I haven't seen that movie.
Never seen it.
I know.
People love it.
Go pal.
Helen Mirren, Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne, Kieran Heinz, all in X Calibur.
That's crazy.
I'm surprised even than a remake of it.
I know they were talking about it, for sure.
Corrin Emperor, how did yesterday's phone call go?
It went great.
It went great.
And I mean, if people have been following me enough from the Shmodown, know that it takes every bit of me to
not tell you everything. I want to tell you, I want you to be as, as excited as I am. But I also
don't want to take away from the excitement when it's time, because I want you to all be excited for
it. I want, like I said, we're going to set a goal. And I always tell people, especially in this, right,
and to let people know in general, the goal of where we need to go and everything will be
explained when it's time. But just take into reference. Like if you, if, let me ask you guys,
let me ask you guys in in the comments right now how much you think like a if you're going to do a pilot on as we'll say Netflix or Hulu and you're going to do a pilot and you're going to have two unknowns in the cast but you're going to surround them with known actors and you're going to get a crew and you're going to get a director and everything that how much do you think a pilot normally would cost I'm curious to see what people would say and and I'm
I want to see if everybody has like an idea and where, you know, when we have to have these
conversations, what that looks like.
So people are aware of it.
Because we're not making, I'm not making a grasping at straws.
You know, grasping in straws was the rest.
Three million is, is a very, very expensive pilot, but that depends on, you know, on, but no,
that's not.
I mean, but yes, someone, you guys are getting, no, not definitely not 75,000.
People, no.
People are, people are right when it's like, the bear was one point one.
one to give a example. But yes, in in the, depending on where it is, that's you guys are,
most of you, yeah, it depends on the platform. So you guys, most of you are, are realistic and what,
what it looks like. So we're playing in a conversation here with people who really know this
business of saying, okay, let's look at what is realistic, how we're going to make this work,
what we're going to do, and how we can make it work all the way through. So now you guys kind of get
and get an understanding of what we're looking at.
But we get a lot to discuss.
So we'll all make it work.
Okay. Ray and Amigos, support.
Thank you, Ray.
B. K. Burrell.
Christian, please look up the Kim Jong-A-I song.
You won't be disappointed.
I can only imagine.
Big black fan.
No reviews for Scream 7 is bad news.
No, no, no, no.
Not at all.
When does it come out?
Is it come out this weekend?
The screening is tonight.
I think the embargo drops, the social drops tonight.
So I don't know, I don't know of his bad news yet.
Again, I bummed that I can't see it tonight.
Really bummed that I can't see it tonight.
Argo, for the big Game of Thrones battle in season six,
will you be turning up the brightness on the TV when you and Sam to do the reaction?
I forgot about that.
Or will you let her have the same experience others had?
I think it was too dark.
A little bit of the same experience.
100%.
Wiley, OFC.
Got a job interview in 30 minutes.
Wish me luck.
Good luck, Wiley.
Ryan.
Wiley.
Good luck, my friend.
I'm rooting for you.
Arago.
Yeah, man.
So this season six, I mean, look, just the journey alone going with her on this has been
amazing.
It's been amazing.
Someone to guess 250,000.
No.
No, I wish.
I wish.
$250,000. That would be nice. It would be a lot easier goal to try to have.
For the big GOT battle of season 6, we'd be turning to Brennan's Day Day.
So, yeah, again, like I said, I think that to go in this journey with her and the experiences that we did,
it's just been so much, so much fun to do. I love it. I love it.
Okay, next one. Roeb K, 6591. Should theatrical films like Scream 7 be delayed until after effects of the winter storm are sorted out?
I think it's not that easy because they already put the money into it and everything too.
And I think that the storms are starting to subside a little bit by that point.
But it is going to affect me getting in there to see it tonight.
So maybe that's just review-wise.
Aragos, speaking of heat, I found a copy of it on laser desk.
That's so great.
At a local vintage story, what a great find that was.
Love watching movies in the older format.
They look better sometimes when they remaster them.
Yeah, there is some kind of pure quality about that, huh?
Yeah, it's true.
that's pretty great.
That's pretty great that you found that.
I love that.
Dust Wayne, I know you don't play games much anymore,
but are you going to play GAT6?
I feel like it's going to take over the world more than Avengers
Juneteer. Who knows?
I might. I very well might because I think it is going to be a big,
I'd be pretty hilarious to do like a, you know,
a watch-along. I don't know that. I don't even know how I would do that.
I probably could have Val or somebody set that up for me,
but I would love to do that.
Back to Erigo.
Thank you. Erigo.
Very kind of you.
very nice, thank you.
Some of the current long franchise sequels like Scream and Jurassic Park.
At one point, did they stop doing sequels and just reboot them?
You think they'll go as high as fast and furious sequels?
This is a very similar conversation that I had with Roka the other day, right?
It just depends on how much these movies make.
You can diminish a little bit on overall returns,
but at what point do you get close to just breaking even when you, like, if you get to,
if a movie costs, if you need to make $500 million on a movie,
and it makes, and your last movie made a billion.
And then the next one does $800 million.
You still give it a shot.
You still give it a shot to do another one.
Then the next one to $700.
Should we give it a shot?
I don't know.
We're playing a little risky here because we could lose money again
unless people are really interested.
And then the next one to $600.
Like maybe we maybe we'll stop or we want to do some fresh with it.
We were booted or something else too.
but you got to play with it like fast and furious they're already up to like or not fast and furious
Jurassic Park you're already up to uh you know 800 900 million on that last one you take another shot
of it if it diminishes again because the last couple before that were in the billions if it diminishes
again then you kind of play into what I was just saying fast and a furious made almost a billion dollars
but it needed to make like 1.5 or something in order to be profit was it was like 400 million
dollars to me it was so stupid it was so stupid with the way that they they did that
It was so stupid.
For the $350 million to make that last movie was a crime.
Victor Garrity, do you ever listen to Tom DeLong what he says about UAP?
Yeah, it's wild stuff, but just enough to kind of believe it.
He talked about a lot of different things that were coming out.
Like, there's a lot of stuff that he said that actually came to fruition.
And not that all of it is, there's a lot of crazy shit that he said that not necessarily isn't true,
but it's so crazy he came and wrap your brain around it.
But he seems to know a lot of shit.
Mad Dog, any news on Spider-Man,
trailer. I'm not the guy to ask. But as, I mean, I'm sure it's coming soon. I don't really pay attention
as much to it, you know, the way that works for me, I'm not actively looking for scoops.
If someone, like, there was a few, like the Mbo thing when that, when that came to me, I was like, yeah,
I was I asked the person, I was like, you mind if I talk about it on the show? And I'm like,
go for it. So I've had, I've had things to fall in my lap. But this, I don't actively go
looking so I don't know when the trailer is actually coming out.
Victor Garrity.
Sorry, my internet connected to Mike's wife pie when I was writing.
It was why it looked like an epileptic balloon wrote it.
Anyway, he has the bug.
He's good, man.
He's a little, uh, he's a little stinker.
Today, you, I let him out in the morning.
You went, I dug him a little place where he could go to the bathroom.
And he did, he peed and he came back because it was snowing and so he looked up at
I saw him.
I looked up for a second.
Then he ran back out.
I'm like, what I knew.
You realize he had to take a shit.
And it's exactly what happened.
He realized it halfway through.
He's like, I've not not done yet.
Israel's are not watching live.
I hope to get tickets for OPE season two.
One piece.
Yeah, enjoy that.
I'm excited to hear about it for sure.
New member, Morgan Coulter became a new member.
I love it.
Good time to be a member.
A lot of great stuff.
Look at that picture.
That'll tell you at all.
Ryan's 40-50.
You moved back to New York.
Started working out and decided to go for it with your pilot.
Was there something you drove yourself actualizing?
journey. A lot of different things. One, health-wise, is the biggest thing for me for when I came
to working out. It was something I've always wanted to do. I've been talking about it. And I give
a lot of people credit, but I give Chris Van Bleed a lot of credit for this one, too. I remember he came
into my old studio and I said to him, I have, well, I got to start working out. He said, why don't
you? I was like, I don't know the time. He goes, you have the time. You don't tell me that.
You have the time. So if you want to do it, you have the time. And he was right. I had the time. I had to find,
I had to find the time.
So, yeah, that was something I always wanted to do.
And it ultimately just made me feel a lot better.
I've been, I've talked about it since I started this channel,
the happiest I've been in the space,
even more so when I started kind of mentally getting myself in shape,
through getting the shape physically.
As far as going with the pilot, it's weird, man,
and Martini and I talk about this all the time.
Creatively, we have been linked for a long time.
kind of one of the interesting things about this story. As I told you before, she was the whole reason
that Shmoz-No happened. She was the reason why any Shmo's No live show, Shmodown, it all really
started with her. She was the one that put us together to do it, right, to help me come up with
the name of Shmose and all these other things, too. She had negotiated and worked with us.
We were supposed to have a Rotten Tomatoes pilot before we started our YouTube channel, right?
I introduced her to her husband, right? We worked on other things.
things with her. We continue to do stuff. The funny thing, I don't have I talked about this yet.
The Grasping of Strauss pilot that I wrote, or I put on the air that you could see actually on
the channel right now, Eliza Schlesinger played a character named Marley. The character was written
for Martini. She moved to San Francisco, and I had to open cast it, and I knew Eliza pretty well at
that time. And I heard other people come and read it, Eliza was just so good at it. She was,
her lives was incredible in that role. She was just incredible. But I was written for Martinez.
She was supposed to do that back then. So the script and the idea, I had the idea when, you know,
Bonnie had come on the show on the Shmoh's No Show and there was this idea that I thought of of,
of like the kind of War the Roses on the air and those types of things. And it kind of evolved
what it was supposed to be with. And it was supposed to do it. Bonnie, at one point. And there was this idea,
And then it wasn't getting there.
And then I had, I know that we had,
Sasha Paul Raver had written a draft.
And two of us were kind of working on it.
We didn't really, it didn't work out that way.
So I'm like, okay, I put it to bed.
I was like, I don't, it just sat there.
And that was like 2014.
We were going to do it for Schmo's.
And then it just sat there.
And I had this idea.
And then when Martini, we had lunch together.
And I, I sent her the draft that I did of it.
and she was uh she said this this we could do something with this so we just gutted the whole draft
we just gutted it we took it from we didn't work on a draft we took it and we said all right
let's just take these characters and we changed the whole story we changed everything together
we worked on it for about a year something like that and then that led into
getting to a place where like we this this script really we're confident with us and then we
and that's kind of how it happened.
So, okay.
Let's say, what's the next one?
RQM, DSMD, thanks for answer my question.
Thanks for asking.
Michael D.
Question for Penny.
Is there a career that you want to pursue post the current one now?
Something you always wanted to do before you took up the adult industry,
but for reasons you had to place on the Blackburner,
much love.
It's a great question.
Again, I'm going to try my damnedest to get to as many as I can,
but that's a great question.
Abernathy, trance suggestion for the morning routine.
Mask off by Gonchua.
I always take suggestions for a nutrient.
I just screenshot it.
Thank you.
I love it.
It really does help me right.
Michael D.
Music suggestions.
There are some more.
A lot of suggestions here.
Thank you so much, Michael D.
Some more there.
Look at this.
So you got Chican and BT for some EDM trance.
Also check out hybrid.
they've done some movie scores and even worked with Harry Gregson Williams.
Great.
All about that.
Sean.
What's up Sean?
I think we'll have to.
Oh, we did that one.
We did this one.
They put it in there to that.
It was very nice.
You, Sean, you didn't have to do that.
I think we'll have to ski up.
No, I'm telling you, it's going to clear.
It's going to clear next week.
We're going to be good.
Justin Bishop.
GTAV made $1 billion only three days.
GTA 6 could probably do it in 24 hours.
It's because of the hype too.
It's going to make a lot of money.
Yeah, it's going to crush.
Space Jesus.
What's going on with all the injuries in WWE?
is, has there been? I haven't been paying attention. I'm telling you. I just saw a couple things where I saw
AJ Styles got, um, put into the Hall of Fame. That's great. I love AJ Styles. So that's great. But I haven't,
I haven't, uh, I haven't been paying attention as much. Well, Coyote became a member. I love that.
Last one for now is pronounced K. Burley. By the way, first name of Brandon. Thank you. Be,
be care. Be, K. Be, K. K. Burley. First name is Brandon. Thank you. Brandon K. Brandon K.
and Kimberly now I know. Thank you. Abela Danger wants to become a talent agent. Will Coyote says,
okay. I also, that's the question. Is directing? Is that something known too? I don't know. I don't know.
What do you guys, let's see. I'm going to try to see if there's any more, no more questions for now.
But again, this is really great and a lot of great questions here today. And thank you guys.
I like doing shows like this to where, you know, get to know me a little bit better.
And I think sometimes, look, there's a lot of you guys that have been here I've seen since
Toad Hop days.
There's brand new people that have been here.
You know what?
Let's do that.
If anybody else has any more questions, please ask them.
Stick around for a little bit.
But I want to know this in the comment section.
Here's Sean, I got another one.
Snow's going nowhere.
I sent you an IG.
name you first ranger.
Thank you, Sean.
That's very nice of you.
That's crazy.
I don't have to look at the DM.
But it's going somewhere.
I'm telling you, it's, it's, the weather's coming in.
And tomorrow's going to be shit snow and then it's going to get washed away.
Okay.
So here's what I want to do.
Let me know how you found this channel.
Did you find it from a reaction?
Did you find it from old school days?
Now, granted, this is the...
The Wednesday show is like the regulars hang out.
This is like cheers.
I realize that Wednesday is like cheers.
This is where the regulars come.
You know, the casuals don't see a topic that they know or they care about so they don't stop in.
Wednesday's cheers.
I get it.
So I want to know where people, where the regulars found this.
Was it, Ryan became a new member.
Thank you, Ryan.
Did you find it from the old school days?
Did you find it from a reaction?
Because sometimes I want to know.
like how people transferred over.
So Christian said he found me following Koi,
found you from Clara Live because I love to talk radio,
started watching you during the AMC days,
okay,
follow it up here.
Will Coyote?
What if Disney transferred Lucasfilm and X-Men transferred back to 20th century studios?
Would fans enjoy those franchises better?
No, it's still,
it's still,
it's creative team.
It's got to be a creative team.
So I'm not,
it depends on who's running it.
It's not,
I always use the example
when people say like, you know, Disney Star Wars.
Disney Star Wars is the worst.
Disney, Star Wars.
No one gives Disney credit when the end game
was one of the biggest movies.
I remember we loved that in game.
One gives Disney credit.
They give Marvel and Kevin Feige credit.
Civil War.
All those movies that were six.
No one never gives Disney credit.
Rogue one, Disney.
I only give Disney credit.
So it's,
Disney's the corporate part of it.
It's the creative team.
team that needs to ship. Okay. Yes, the Cheers, the Cheers reference is a very good thing.
So let's see. Collider Live, Star Wars Schmodeown, old reviews, Schmodeown, movie talk,
found you during COVID, Roxy, can't be alive chats. Can't be a live chats. How did, how did it
me going into the live chat? That's interesting. The AMC days. Ryan, how are you feeling about
getting back into acting? That's a great question. I actually had a dream last night about that I,
that I was talking to Adam Sandler about connecting into dramatic roles and how he did it and the
commitment to it. So the role itself, I feel very confident about because I've written the role
to my strengths. And that's the benefit that I have of doing, you know, this role is that it's,
it's not one of these things where, you know, and my wife doesn't believe me, but let's say,
in a dream world.
This show does very well.
And then I got offered something else.
I wouldn't do it.
I don't want to be like, you know,
a pursuing going after new characters.
This role I want to tell the story.
And I know how to speak as this guy.
And I know how to do things as this guy.
I know where is, I know is the way that he thinks.
I know the way that he looks at things.
I know the stupid things he does.
I know the good things that he does.
And so I'm excited.
to approach him and introduce him because I know who he is.
Sean McCabe, Schmodeown days, movie talk about 10 years ago, Schmo's No, AMC,
AMC movie talk, OG, since watching Schmo's No, found you at this point through YouTube
algorithm and watching Live Work Sense, I love that.
Showdown, then caught up with the whole universe on Schmo's reactions, act light reviews.
I was watching AMC Collider, then stopped watching Collider, then found you randomly one day,
thought you were still Collider, glad you escaped.
should have, I mean, I was, I think I told this story recently. And I had an opportunity to go to
sky about a year earlier. And in hindsight, I should have done that. Sam Renzi, I've been watching
since movie talks since 2015. The Real D5, solo denied, solo, Tennis breakfast, talk about Star Wars.
That was the mistake. Ryan's 40-50. I don't remember how I found you, but I think an interview was
first. It's great. 2012 is when I started following. I used to subscribe to Campi and one day.
YouTube suggested your show.
Shmows know a lot of old school people in the Cheers.
That doesn't surprise me that the Cheers crew is a lot of old school stuff.
Someone in the chat mentioned you and I decided to check you out.
That's cool.
I love that.
That's great.
Good advertising.
Armada 8YT recommended Joey Valence and Bray.
They are modern-day BC boys.
Pretty funny too.
Thank you.
Let me know.
That's great.
Thank you for letting me know.
I know this is great.
I know.
I'm looking.
I'm fingers crossed.
Okay.
Alex,
I think my YouTube algorithm knew there was a screen junkie says,
it's whole my life and you just started appearing my feed.
That's great.
I love hearing that.
And that's kind of the goal of what we're trying to do with the shorts, too,
is to put those out there and show more comedic moments and just,
not just the movie news and kind of more personality stuff like we posted today.
That moment that I have at Roxy, a couple, a year or two,
where she was talking about a guy,
dating at the time and I said, you should say a communication problem.
So I posted that.
Yeah, it was pretty good.
Ryan Humilari, describe you to a wife.
Wait, describe you to wife as Howard Stern who talks about shit I love?
That's very nice.
What a compliment that is.
You move back to New York, having on Pee, be getting closer and closer, actually being
HS.
Ryan, this is the greatest comment ever, but I got it.
I'm old, man.
What's the, what's the abbreviations?
Thanks for being a great part of our everyday routine.
that and it's really nice howard stern was one of the guys that i absolutely um that was the thing that's
shmows was kind of based off it was Howard stern show for movies right so that's very kind to you that you
give me that um having on pb guys tell me what pb is because i'm an idiot and then getting closer and closer
actually being hs so what's pb and hs and then i'm going to do the dope because i should have known that
but very, very, very, very kind.
So, if there's anything, by the way, too, that you guys do have in regards to the show itself,
because I love talking about it.
I love getting excited about it and getting you guys hyped about it.
And it's one of these things where we're looking at as we're going through kind of like the tears
and the things I want to do is that, and I'm looking and I'm saying,
like, ooh, if we get people excited about that, because I feel like they will.
And everybody who's like, I normally don't do that, I wouldn't want to do that,
but I want to see this thing get made.
And everybody, even everybody here today that watches this now and watches on a replay,
if everybody donates, we can make the show soon.
Oh, there you go.
Thank you.
So it was Penny Barber.
Thank you.
Okay, let's do that again.
You move back to New York having on Penny Barber.
getting closer and closer to actually being
HS. Now, what's
HS, guys? What's
HS? He doesn't know what
HS is? Actually
describe you to have a hundred that one.
You move back to New York having on Penny Barber, getting
closer and closer to actually being
the H.S.
What's H.S? Oh, Howard's turn.
See?
As she says it right there.
So now let's read it after we've decoded.
It's like fucking Ralphie
from, with the Ovalteen message.
describe your wife,
described you to my wife as Howard Stern
talks about shit I love.
You move back to New York, having on Penny Barber,
you're getting closer and closer to actually being
Howard's turn. Thank you for being
part of our everyday routine. Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Hey now. Armada.
Does Mans know Penny is coming on? I'm sure he does,
but don't never tell us. That is absolutely
hilarious. It took me that long
to do, to figure that out.
Anyway.
All right.
Well, if anybody else, I'm going to refresh this other thing too and see.
There's three more questions on the other one.
I like talking to you guys today.
I like talking to you.
You're asking good questions.
Boom.
Came at YouTube ever.
Thank you.
Awesome.
I love how many new members.
Amazing.
So many great members.
Armada, 8YT.
Farside versus digital, digital planets.
I like digital planets myself.
I like Farside also, though.
It's good, though.
Wednesdays are for chatting, goofing and venting, says Ryan.
Yeah, I think that that's one of the things that I want to start messing with on the show.
Monday is like really with me and Roka has been the talk radio type of movie news show, right?
Tuesday is life stuff, other things with me, Roxy, TV stuff, Roxy and Mike, and it can go anywhere and I just let it go.
Wednesday of these solo shows and now Kevin Smets will be on and we'll talk about a bunch of other things and ask questions and maybe
open up to like mailbag stuff and everything too which will be great um Thursday is me and
step I got to find kind of what the rhythm is there and then Friday with capes I might want to
just turn it into another episode Christian Harlov's show with some heavy you know comic book stuff
but I don't know I got to maneuver that one around too it's just tough because when there's two
people on if you know if we don't hit a certain amount it's like and they're both so great
Chris and Winston are so great on that show.
And I love that we had an opportunity to add Chris to the rotation and Sam and Winston for so long.
But I got to just make sure because, you know, you pay your hosts a rate.
And if you have two people on, you got to make that rate plus more.
It's the same thing we're just talking about like with budget on a movie.
You cost this to make it.
You hope to make this.
And if it doesn't, then you got to look at things.
So we're trying to figure that out.
Ryan Famular.
10 out of 10 read. Thank you, Ryan. I nailed it.
Sean, the wife and I have been watching Paradise. Think you like it? I think I'll love it.
My wife started watching it without me, Sean. Bullshit.
Said to her, why? I want to address something after I talk about this because I just realized something.
This is what happens. I told you guys about it before, like the two, you know, the trolls playing pickleball in my head.
They screamed to me to mention something. I will.
Paradise, I feel like I would love.
My wife started watching it without me.
She's done this many times over.
She starts watching shows without me.
And that's one of them.
I'll probably eventually start watching.
So there's a thing that's happened to me as I gotten older.
You don't see it in the live show as much.
But when I'm watching movies, for some reason, when I'm looking,
my eyes can only handle the light on it for so long.
And I start kind of, and it, it affects me.
There are people who are saying,
what's going on with his eyes what's going on with this fine if people are dicks i have thrown out
so many people and muted people and thrown them out for like oh i can't take you the twitching
fuck off my eyes i'm getting older something happens i don't know what it is doesn't happen here
happens when i'm watching tv don't know it's not at home but when i'm watching for the reactions
i can't there's only so much i can do don't like it fuck off that's what they say in certain parts
of France. So that's it. Armada. Any chance to visit Corey Coleman show. He's doing Broadway
Comedy Club. 1,000% I'll reach out to double toast them. I love Corey and Martin. Love those guys.
Some of the funniest dudes and really, really kind people. Always love hanging out with them.
Hung out with them in Houston. Corey used to come in and do the show in L.A. when he was in town.
I love those dudes. I'll absolutely reach out to double toasted. But please, if you guys are
fans of double toasted, please tell them, I say hello.
I love, I love it.
Derek Johnson, support.
Thank you, John.
Appreciate it.
Where's he been?
So let's see.
Oh, by the way, well, can I mention that yet.
I can't mention that yet.
I'm not going to do that yet.
Okay, S.L.M. Chase, one of my favorite early memories is when you did the Star Wars
Watch along as the Campi or Shep in Ellis for episode seven.
Much love for NH.
Like, that's another thing.
I would have done so much differently now when you're allowed to, right?
that we would have done like basically the footage plus then we should have ran a Patreon
for Collider back then.
We should have done super chats.
We didn't do a lot.
There was a lot of shit that we didn't do back then that I wouldn't have done again.
So that would be great.
That would have been great to do that.
But yeah, that was fun to do that for sure.
Okay.
Page, I found you on Collider on the Thursday night show.
Love the conversation.
I won the Quiet Place movie Gifts.
That's cool.
That's really cool.
I love that.
That's great.
I love those giveaways that we did.
Those were really cool.
Great.
That's really great.
So, Paige, you've been so great on this channel.
So I love, that's the other thing that I've,
and it took a little bit on this, on this show,
because, you know, we bounced around.
We did Big Thing.
And Big Thing was really kind of a pre-tape show.
And that's probably one of the reasons why it was a little harder to build a community.
I was, I was against doing live again.
I just had my fair share of bad moments from live and got nervous.
about it in general, but then I started sticking my toe back in the water with Roka.
Roka and I started doing a live show first, and then that evolved into it and then evolved
into the Christian Rler show.
And I'm glad that I did because it really started to build out that community, that page and
so many different people, you guys started Discord.
How many we got in Discord now?
Do we get to 200?
Come on.
Let's get the 200.
Come on.
Let's do it.
Oh, this is great.
Somebody found me from the Matt Serra channel.
Yeah, Matt.
So that whole thing.
But Matt and I became friends because he was a fan of Collider, and I talked about in Clare Live that I had, I had bet on his fight against GSP and won a significant amount of money when I, I bet on him.
And he talked about it on his show on when he does with Norton, on UFC Unfiltered.
And then we just, you know, we just became buddies.
He used to do, he used to call in a Collider Live.
He did a live show with us for SCN Live in New York.
and we would talk on the phone and I would say,
you know, you should be doing your own podcast.
And I think, and then Rogan had told him around the same time to do his own thing.
I told him, I'm moving back to New York.
I told him where I was moving.
He's like, it's not very far for me.
And then we decided to start working together.
And he, he, I don't know if I'm, if I have found a more honorable and good person,
Matt Sarah is a good dude.
And he's so easy to work with.
He's so easy to work with.
He just wants to do his channel.
You can see why he was a former UFC champion.
He's like, he says he's going to be there.
He's there.
Going to get things dedicated?
He's there.
He wants to build.
He's committed.
He's there.
He's got patience.
Love working with Matt, sir.
And don't have a negative thing to say about him.
I don't have a negative thing to say about Matt, sir.
He's an absolutely tremendous human being.
I love Matt.
Okay.
let's see so thank you again page amazing we got a lot 47 questions guys 47 questions and I'm
going to bring up I think that there was is there another one I think there's another
question over here let's bring this up let's let's double check let me see um all right I'm
I'm going to refresh it and see. Let's see. Question recommendation for the Penny Barber interview.
It's actually, let me see how the vibe is because she doesn't know us, right? She doesn't know us.
So if she plays along and it warms up, I could ask that question. Let me ask you a question, Penny.
I need to know. Is eating, is eating cheating? It's the best. I won't ask her that question.
but if it comes down it maybe.
Mike Hudspeth,
hey Christian,
what do you think
is more like
2026 will have a bigger
box office total than 2019?
Ooh.
Or 2027 will have a bigger
total box office in 2026.
Well, with end game,
ooh, man.
Shit,
great question.
I got to look at all the releases
in 27, so I'm not sure.
That's a great question, Mike.
I'll say that I think it's a
I think it's probably
2020 this
27 will have a bigger box office
in 2026 is more likely
Patty boy who do you think is the goat
of individual schmodeown
my pick is Drew McQueenie
Drew was great at teams
and I think Drew would even say
Drew was
an incredible
incredible knowledge on film
and just terrifying
it's kind of like the undertaker
but um
individually solo he just
he couldn't win the big match.
In the teams, he was devastating.
Dan's the best of all the time.
Dan's the best.
Dan, what Dan was able to do
and how Dan turned things around
and Dan maneuvered stuff,
and Dan was a fighting champion.
Dan was,
as far as an individual player goes,
Dan was the best.
100%.
All right, any more here?
I think there's a few more questions.
Yes, yes, yeah.
Hold on, hold on.
wait yep okay next one Ryan S my wife saw my profile pick I thought I got hacked
yeah and look at that mug terrible angle I shot myself with
Maddie B 207 what a Maddie B found your channel from an old interview due with Robert Eiler
wasn't too old oh you didn't say old I made that up because I'm old found your channel
from an interview due with Robert Eiler it was one of the first things I did at this studio he sat
right there um bit of fans since love the eclectic crew of co-hosts
during the week and Sam reactions are fire.
She's pretty great.
And she's another one.
Besides just being absolutely hilarious and great at this,
just a really great person.
I can tell when someone's calling to texting to check in to make sure everybody's okay,
it's Sam.
She's a mama bear.
She's the best.
Eclipse,
after you watch One Piece,
So are you able to do an out-of-the-the-the-the-the-the-theter-style review?
I'm generally curious of how you feel about the more outlandish parts.
I think there's an embargo socially.
The answer is yes.
I just have to find out when that is.
But the answer is yes, to figure out when.
Okay.
Let's see.
Anything else?
I'm going to look.
I got some time today, guys.
If you want to stick around, let me know.
If not, you know.
at it. There is another question that came up here. Let me do it. Ryan Fenley, what are you
looking to react to next? We recommend Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Those two shows do crazy
numbers. Breaking Bad is a definite. But the question is, you know, because Sam hasn't seen it and
Ming hasn't seen. The potential of doing it with Ming, it's there. But I might want to wait
until next year and have Sam do it. I don't know. So right now, Ming's going to be doing
once about a time in Hollywood
and then Top Gun
Maverick. He's never seen it.
So we'll do a rewatch of one
because he hasn't seen it. He said in 30 years
or something. Tina, I'm going to get
to do John Wick.
Steph is going to
do Ferris Bueller
and then we're going to do the born
franchise and boogie nights.
So we got her for a couple of weeks we have
her figured out. I found out
Winston's never seen any of the Rambo movies.
So we're going to do First Blood, Rambo's
and he's only seen
Rocky 3. So we're going to do all the Rocky movies. So Winston's going to be tied up a little bit.
I got to find movies for Chris Carr. And I think I want to start putting Mike in the rotation.
So I got to find some stuff there to do. Okay. Digabot. Been around since AMC movie talk.
Just a lurker since I'm usually working. RIP, Schnepp, sweaty for Lyme. Again, one of my favorite humans.
We always, we had a, we had a very, we had a great relationship.
great relationship. And one of my favorite moments was when we wrote together to Comic Con together.
Me and Holly, we drove to San Diego together. We just cracked up the whole time. He got my sense
of humor. And I got his. So that was, he was, he was amazing. Okay. Page seven down, I got into
this show now because I played and won a movie trivia at a resort in Mexico and they had TV theme
song. Does the pilot have a theme song? So a theme song yet? No.
But here's one of the things to, look, this is the type of, when I try to manifest things,
my goal is that, okay, I tell you guys what our goal is and what we want to hit.
And you guys go, you know what?
Here's that.
And then this, because that allows me to say, hey, we exceeded our goal.
Can we get the rights to that song?
That's like going to want to be the last things on the list.
but that's what's kind of like that's my fingers crossed so i have ideas of what i would like the
the theme song to be okay let's see mike hasn't seen a lot of shit by the way people ask what i
might say uh Alex all right i was gonna dip out early but then i saw after saying there was seeing
there was a screen junkie size whole in my life they literally just bought back movie fights like holy
shit yeah they did so i talked to dan about this too um i and i did really really well
the nostalgia side of it too and I saw that I just I know that um and Spencer and everybody's running too I
I want them in the next one I'm hoping I'm hoping on the next one I want to see some bells and whistles
and this is me the Shmown guy so I want to see some bells and whistles I want to see promos I want to see
give me the old history people you can tell people we're eating it up waiting to see give me the
belt show me the old school like you know get into the history of it going to the lore of of what
of you know the records and all those other things too that's that's that's
what I crave from that stuff too, but it was really great to see them all together again and
doing their thing. So, um, all right. PLD projects. What's not PLD? React to the Rock,
that Harris. I wonder if anybody hasn't seen that. I'm sure, you know what? I don't think Steph has.
So maybe remind me, and you will remind me that I've told you do. So, uh, C-CII reaction
with Mike. Mike has seen it. I have not. But he has seen it, Yer Shemitsu, for sure. Sean,
Christian, you're the best. No, I'm not. You're the best.
Joseph. Ashley, what's up Joseph? The creator of the big balls image himself became a member. Thank you, sir.
PLD projects or the best Cameron Water movie The Abyss was at Harris.
Do you anybody knows that you like at Harris? We're at 60 guys. Hey, hey, hey, you can stay on a little longer? Can we break Mike in Roxy's record?
I got the job. Wiley. Fuck yeah. Look at that. What a show this has been, guys.
PLD, final suggestion,
Night Falls with Ed Harris, there you go.
Was he in it? I don't think he was even in it.
All right, I'll refresh again on the other questions.
52. We did it.
We did it. Got another one over there. Let me see.
So here is a question from Saul.
Speaking of Matt Sarah,
when are you going to start rolling? I think you're honestly going to love it.
All the martial arts, I think that BJJ is the most perfect
for you. He says the same thing. The first thing I'm going to do before any of that is I'm going to get my
my oldest. Matt is going to help her first. I just feel like I'm too damn old to do that.
My joints are going to give out of me. I'm going to get injured. I'm careful enough when I'm lifting
weights. I'm just nervous about it for myself, my old body. But he's been, he's been trying to get me in there for like a
year and a half now. So I mean, I'd love to. You know, who doesn't want to get top of Matt Sarah?
But I think that that's why I'm trying to get my daughter in there. Um, so we'll see.
Okay. Anything else? We had a hell of a show here today, guys. I can't really complain about it.
Can't complain about it. I'll take, I'll take, oh, they've got a new one. All right. There's another one.
Maybe you don't want to let me go. Maybe you do like it. Sally Field. You do like me.
Yoshimitsu. So happy movie fights is back. That's where I first found you. Shmo down in this whole thing.
Yeah, it was funny because Luke asked me today.
I always went and did movie fights and it was never, I was never tailor made for it.
I respect to hell of what they did and how they built that.
And I was never made for it.
I just, I was left feeling like, uh, it just, I didn't, I didn't like it.
For myself, for myself, not watching Dan and those guys, their masters had it.
But like, I, it just, for me, I just didn't like the way that I felt after it.
But, um, but it's a great show.
Great to have them all back and glad that they,
and glad they're,
um, they're trying it out.
So, um,
all right.
Thank you guys.
Appreciate it very, very much.
And, um, yeah, well,
this will be up on Spotify, Apple podcast.
Tomorrow we got Steph, um,
Friday.
I'm going to try my hardest.
I'm pretty, I'm, I'm, Friday I'll be on the show.
Not try my artist.
I'll be on the show on Friday.
because, yeah, I thought Sam's not coming in this week.
So, and then tomorrow we will be running, oh, Friday rather.
We'll be running episode three and four of Game of Thrones.
And then Saturday we're going to drop five and six.
So we should be running three Game of Thrones this weekend or, you know, Friday and Saturday, obviously.
And that's about it.
It's all I got for you.
The Penny Barber interview will most likely run next Wednesday.
Now, whether or not I'm going to do like a live show like this and then run the interview,
I don't know.
I might just run it on its own.
So that's it.
Thanks for being here.
I appreciate it.
And then when we do the live stream, the next live stream for the patrons and members, please join.
And the other thing I got to tell you guys, if you are a member, we have so many new
members and so many members in general, PLD always posts about for the members and patrons,
even if you can't be there, ask a question, ask one question, we'll get answer. You watch
it on the replay afterwards. If you're a member, you might as well. And then if you're a $5
member and over, you can join and ask a video question and you can come say hello to us. So
take advantage of that, for sure, please, please, please. Corn Emperor, congratulations on the new job.
Look at everybody being supportive. I love that.
I don't think we are, though.
Someone said we're already caught up to the real rejects?
I don't think so.
Let's see.
What's the last one that they did?
Real rejects.
Let's see.
Let me see.
I'm looking out there.
It's doing it.
I don't remember the guy's name.
I know that it's, hold on.
Do they have in the description?
It's Tara and Andrew.
We're doing it.
I don't know Andrew.
I know of Tara from, I mean, obviously, for all the stuff she does with Roxy,
they both seem like really good people.
I don't, I don't really know.
But I've never, never spoken to, Andrew.
So let's see.
That's number one.
Let's see where they're at.
They're at, they're at episode nine and ten right now of, of, you're saying we just
caught up to the season, to the season maybe, but they're, they're, but you got,
Here's the thing.
Craig Elba is one of the artists working people in the business.
They have like 87 different reactions.
I literally only have Game of Thrones coming out in general.
So it's a lot easier to do.
So let's say, Joseph, Penny Barber, do you have to maintain weight to keep fans?
I don't know if I'm going to ask that.
But keeping in shape in general, we can see that she does.
So, yeah.
that's interesting.
That's not good news.
They've had trouble with season five copyrights.
That's not good news.
That means
did you guys react to far from home?
Yeah, it's on there.
All the Spider-Man movies are on there, by the way.
We did all the Marvel stuff.
And then leading,
as I made sure that Sam watched all the Spider-Man stuff
so she had, you know,
the right impact when no way home happened.
Great.
All right.
Is there one more?
there's one more here too.
This is, you guys are, I love it.
I love shows like this.
Keep it coming.
Why do you want to end this show?
Keep asking questions.
Sons of bitches.
Since the night of the seven kings, this is Jeff Kimball.
Since the night of the seven kingdom is over until next season,
what's something that interests you in the Game of Thrones universe
that you would like to see them do next?
So much now, so much.
I really want to see more about Roberts Rebellion.
I want to learn more about Ragar.
I want to see, well, I really like where they're
going with 9 to 7 Kings because we're going to see a lot more with the Targaryens.
And I do want to see follow up.
I want to see a follow-up series with John Snow and all that stuff too.
So yeah.
I would like to see, I would like to continue, spin-offs are working right now.
I continue, I would like to see it.
No Smurf reactions.
This is Armada, A-YT.
Probably not.
Probably not.
Has Mike seen Debbie does Dallas?
I'm sure 87 times, says Ryan.
I'm sure.
The guy's a connoisseur.
He would have been the reigning Shmowdown champ for sure.
All right.
Let's see.
Next one.
Danny,
2KR.
Too old my ass.
You can do it,
Christian.
Just take it slow and build up over time.
I managed to lose 100 pounds over a few years.
You'd be surprised with the human body can do.
I know,
I know.
It's one of these things where it's also what I don't want to do is half-assed that.
You know,
and it's like going in once a week.
I mean,
it's not,
I mean,
he lives close,
but he lives that close.
And it's also a screenings and stuff too.
Potential. Potential. Space Jesus. Do you think Deck from Badlands will be the lead in the new AVP?
I hope so. After we watching that with Steph, I really did like that movie a lot.
Sean McCabe, Dexter, Saul, Ansel deserves an Emmy. He deserves to be nominated. 100%.
100%. He should be nominated. Any more questions from the thing? Nope. More questions here?
Nope. So let me ask you guys a question. And this is more.
So what I do for my Instagram, because I always, I always get kind of self-conscious about this, too, because I talk to Roxy about it.
And, you know, Roxy has been very encouraging.
I said, like, I like to give updates on, you know, the fitness stuff.
And so sometimes I'll post pictures.
I posted the workout pictures.
But I also want to make sure it's not too much.
You know, I think you did it.
You show people you're working out.
That's enough.
or wait for more progression stuff.
Curious what you guys think.
We've talked about posit shirts.
We've absolutely talked about posit shirts.
Yeah.
That's some other ones.
Fleetle-Dadle.
Another one we thought of too.
George R. Martin says he's done with Game of Thrones.
Sure.
So they put the next boat of the truckload of money in its backyard.
Come on.
Okay.
Is that everything?
I'm going to look.
One more thing.
I'm going to refresh real quick.
Yep, refresh, refresh.
