Thank you for joining us on the show today. We're going to be talking about the writer strike again, man. I know, but I think we're getting closer, maybe-ish. Their deals are happening. If the writers figure something out, does that mean it's inevitable that the actors will do that as well? Blue Beetle is coming out on Friday, man. I got a chance to see it with the tracking right now. Does it need some other promotion?

Does it need the actors? Talking about that and more. When will these strikes? And Roxy's going to talk about some of her neighbor stuff, I think. Well, at least I probably nothing happening since the hip injury, so we'll talk about that. And then, oh, yeah, this news about, can we stop trying to cancel people for no reason? I understand everything going on with the blind side.

scandal and that's awful. And if those people did what they are being accused of, they absolutely should be to take accountable. But let's not try to take Sandra Bullock's Oscar away. That's dumb. That's dumb. But we'll talk about that. That more.

Thursday. How are you? Nice to see you. Roxy Stryer's here. Ooh, yeah. Bebe. Nice. Brett Sheridan's here.

Hey, man. It's really. early morning, you know, man. He's making fun of me, right? No, no, I don't think so. No, he's made fun. I just was, like, squitting, and I looked very, like, yeah, man. It's very Robin Williamsy today.

That's what I did. What's up, man? And then you, like, manned my man. Man, Roxy, I would never. You'd never man my man? I would not man your man. What if I ask nicely? Please, Red.

I'd be like, Rob's man. Can you man my dude, bro? I can't do the ride. Kate's the raw. Excuse me. Whoa. What's going on with you? I got a little case of the COVID.

But you know, you got to plug on and keep on working. Right next to Rocky. My sister-in-law, so many of my friends have it right now. Really? Yeah. Yeah. That's who's back. Yeah, I know.

Coming back. Yeah. Well, that's how we're talking about. I'll tell you what we are talking about, though, is Roxy, what's going to, I saw you did a stream. The one, the only thing, so Roxy's going to be, we're going to move her to the Tuesday show because she can't talk about shit. So what, but what you can talk about.

This is, you know what I've learned? What? This is my personality. So like, I'm boring now. No. I got nothing. No, we, we, look, we always, it's, it's entertaining. It's just, it's just, I know, I just, I love, it's crazy when you realize everything

you want to talk about is the industry. Yeah. Like, I, I, I need to be cooler because every story that comes up, I read it and I'm like, Right. And then I just sit there and kind of moped myself. Well, you'll be able to be on the UAP show. You know, it's so funny about that. I got this comment yesterday.

It drove me nuts on Twitter. And I was like, and I've been better by it. Because I sent it back a nicer reply, but it drove me nuts. It was like, what the hell is your channel now? What a shit show? You just covering alien stuff? I'm like, no. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

The same exact channel, it has been. Nothing's changed. Movie reviews out of the theater. We never did a show on. on Tuesday. It was blank. It was just open real estate. And now we do a show on Tuesdays. It's just like, don't watch it. If you don't want

to, like, don't watch it. This isn't fun for the people, but it's Monday, right? What is? The show? Oh, when you're going to record it, you mean? Oh, that's what happens. Okay. I just want to make sure I didn't mess up my schedule. No. It airs on Tuesdays. Yeah, it airs on Tuesdays. But we're recorded on Monday.

It's in the public seat. I just don't understand how people think that this is not appropriate for this channel. But it's just the fact that they thought that it was a full, a full facelift for the channel, which is so stupid because it's like it was, it's one show. And there are people,

and I've gotten great comments of like, not for me, I'm going to watch the movie stuff. Yeah, and do your thing, honey. Yeah, nothing's changed. And they were great.

Like, I'm just not going to, I probably won't be tuning in on Tuesdays. And I said, totally cool, but it's like, well, that's what the whole channel is now? No,

no, pay attention. Nothing. What's the name of your network? Just my name, girl. So who gets to pick what you talk about? Yeah, but look, to be fair. No, I think that's it, period. At the sentence, I cannot stand

when other people say things like, you shouldn't be talking about this. I know, but look, but there is an argument to be made of that if I decided, like, there's two sides to this. On your side, if I decided that my entire channel was going to be

just that plus Sopranos paintings, I have the right to do whatever I with my channel. It's my channel, right? Yeah. However. And you have a right to watch or not watch. Yeah, but on the flip side of that, for people who have subscribed because they found an out-of-the-the-theater reaction, and if I just, and they started to watch my channel because they liked the movie reviews and they like this talking news. And then that's all that there was,

they would have absolutely the right to go. That's just not what I'd subscribe for. I'm out. But still not the right to tell you what to do on your own channel. Yeah, but it's just like, what is this? It's like, it's like, it's like Tuesday. There was nothing on the channel. Yeah. Nothing has changed from Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, nothing has changed. You know, we might cover it once or twice on the big thing, but one of these episodes where we talk about it for like five, ten minutes, but for the most part, it's, I just did it

out of the theater for Blue Beetle. I did a review for Blue Beetle. I have all these things. And I'm talking two or three comments, as I always tell you, don't always pay attention to that. But I've seen a few people who are like, is that what the channel is now? No, it's a show in the same way that if I did a TV show, if I did a TV show, where you just covered TV for a full hour,

it wouldn't be now the channel is all about TV shows. It's one freaking show. Right, yeah, completely. I mean, I do think that this is a bigger problem about the internet and people right now is just the entitlement of telling somebody else what they can talk about. I feel like this across the board, right? Like when you hear people give their Oscar speeches or whatever and people say, but don't make it political, it's their floor.

if they want to make it political in either direction or whatever they want to do, you don't have to be a fan of that person. But it's their floor. I push back on the Oscars. I know you do. On Twitter, I don't, though. I know, yeah, yeah. I know that people feel differently than me, but for me,

anybody of any, whether you are Taylor Swift or John Voight, you are allowed to have your own opinions and you're allowed to voice them on your own platforms. Obviously, the Oscars are not their own platform, but it's their floor for that minute. you are allowed to voice it and then I'm allowed to decide whether I watch you or I don't. For sure. I mean, I think the argument

with the, I think the same argument I was making before is that like you said, you can switch off in that thing, but if I'm tuning in for the Oscars personally, because I want to watch the Oscars because I want to see who's going to win, I want to see what their speeches are going to be like to talk about the process,

talk about who got them there, the motivation behind it, and they start making political statements. To me, I'm like, I would do that on your Twitter. It's your preference, though. Sure. And it's also a matter of like, to me, it's like, to your point of before, it's their personal platform on Twitter, right?

This is my personal platform. But the same thing goes for, which I agree with. If I just changed my whole channel dramatically, and that's all I talked about, and that's all we talked about, and every episode was, and I changed the big thing completely, and I sacrificed one of the episodes for it, and someone had to complain about it because that's not what they sign up for, I think. was valid, but of a show that came out on a Tuesday that we didn't have any episodes. Yeah, the complete isn't even valid, but I'm saying, I'm going beyond that to just say the

complaint's never valid. It's your name on the effing network. Yeah. So if you wanted to seven days a week talk about aliens and they don't like that, they can stop listening. For sure. Instead of writing, how dare you talk about this on your network? I know. I know, but I just, I just think for me, it's so weird. I do listen to the idea, I mean, like, and I've, I've seen it before, whether with other things that we've done in the past that like when we were when we were schmows right we were schmows no we changed that channel the schmodeown a lot of the original schmose audience didn't stick around with it yeah um they so that's fine just nobody has ownership over you i i just know i got something this is this is totally not related to what you guys are talking about but like i uh um i had a bit of anxiety today and

i haven't i haven't been taken i'm just going out of town again and trying to get loose ends and i took i took some of the clonopin that i haven't been taking a lot of and now I'm just like, hey man. So do you think you were just talking to us before, but you really weren't? Yeah, I don't ever know if I was like, for a second there, I'm like, am I here, man? So summarize how today is gone? It's going great now. People love that.

People love that. This is my lucky hat. And I think BDH for it. Bryce Dallas Howard loved. She loved that hat. I walk in and she's, oh my God, I love your hat. And then like, was talking like, yeah, I love her. She's pretty awesome.

But yeah, I'm doing all right. I don't know. I'm just, there's so many things we're trying to take care of. We got new beds that we bought from somebody that was moving. And I'm organizing the whole apartment. And then I'm going to my mom's again to help her with one last sale of stuff. And there's some emotions tied into that. And kids are scarred in school.

And my daughter couldn't get into her thing today to see her schedule. And she was flipping out. Like a portal or something? Yeah. Yeah, she couldn't get into the portal. She was losing her mind, and it was a big mess up with the school and stuff. So, yeah, and then I just was, like, thinking again, like, why do people take the time to tell people things like that? Can I ask you a question, though?

Yeah. How good did that feel to get all that out? Oh, it's great. It's great. I feel good. I actually have a bejillion follow-up questions, but I don't know if that's an okay thing to take this show in that direction. Well, it's my channel. You're going to piss somebody off.

Exactly. It's your chair. So I'm talking to you about it. Brett. Listen. Okay, God. Oh, you said no. Yeah, that's fine.

Go ahead. You said no. It's okay. I did listen. I can listen. Okay. Well, you want to ask them a question? You really want to pretty badly.

Well, I'll just ask this one then, if I can. The house, is a childhood home? Not so much for me, but my brother and sister. Like, I lived in another house. I was at like a, oh, a sophomore or junior in high school. But, I mean, I came back to this home all the time and stuff like that. For them, it was where they grew up. For me, it wasn't.

But it's just, like, pulling apart all these different things and seeing, like, you know, this was on my mom's, above my mom's bed forever, and then, like, moving all that stuff. It's weird. The weirdest point was I was in the garage going through tools where I'd done a lot of projects for, and I just broke down crying by myself. I was just like. Just a lot of memories. Yeah.

Yeah. just a lot of like, you know, doing little fix-it things and stuff. And the best, though, my son helped me with the tools after that. He went? Yeah, and he was very excited to learn what each tool meant and things like that. And my daughter was super helpful. I told you, as your kid gets older, because you go through these things as a parent. I'm sure I'm going to go through it pretty soon, too.

But his kids are older than your kids. Her, his youngest is a year older than my oldest. So, but he's got, he is, like, 17? 16. 16 going on 17. Shut the fuck. I know. It's crazy.

Oh, he just had his first driving freak out where Lonnie took him out driving. And he wasn't stopping. He had a stop sign, but this one didn't. And he kind of barreled through it and got in the middle of the intersection. The car stopped. And Lonnie's like, okay, back up the car. And he stopped. And he goes, I don't want to do this anymore.

And she's like, fair enough, but I'm going to make you drive home. You have to learn that you're going to have these little hiccups. Right. Yeah, you're back. Well, so it's like, but I told you, it's like you go through these in the case of the tools where you feel like your son, you remember these moments like the toy story moments. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, he's just drifting apart. But it's like, yeah, but he gets older.

Then he starts kind of finding things they relates to you when he gets, it's just the, it's just the way it goes. Like, I remember you telling me a story back into like how you were and how you just kind of kind of's rebel that kind of went off to do thing and then kind of gravitated back to your family. Completely. Yeah. The reason I ask, though, is just because the house thing is so fucking difficult. Mark it's terrible right now. Well, I'm not even just talking about that. Tell me about it.

She can't sell her other ones. 100% that. I meant the emotional aspect of it, though. It's a very relatable thing. It's so hard to give up a home for any reason, whether you're moving into a bigger place, smaller place, far across the country, down the street, to think that you're not able to enter the same place

that you've entered every day for years. It's so hard. It's true. I realize that looking at your country, Cup. You know, Mike Kalenowski's mad at you. Because of the dog? You're not loving dogs? Yeah, he's mad at you.

Do you want me to, should we get him on the phone? Do you not love him? Did you tell him that or did I talk to him? He saw it on a world girl's thing or something. Oh, yeah, I don't love dogs. I don't either. I like certain dogs. I don't dislike dogs. What did he say?

Well, I'd rather him tell you. Let's try to get him. Hold on. Your call has been forward. Hey, Siri, text Mike Kellenellon. asking. Say you forgot something calling quick. No, that's telling the truth. What do you want to say to Mike? Hey man, we're on the air right now,

and I want you to talk to Roxy about the dogs, period. Call back. Done. Do you know how often you text me incorrectly? Yeah. Yeah, okay. I don't care, though, because you can figure it out. Sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes. Sometimes I look at it and I'm like, you're the only person, though, to write back and say, I don't know if I

truly understand that. That's my favorite. I had one recently, though. I may have said that because it was just like I was like, I can't. None of these are words that would be put together normally. It's not my fault because it's not. If I say it clear as day into this thing and she doesn't listen, it's not my fault. Yes, because there is no alternative.

Yeah. Not in the amount of speed I'm trying to do this. Because then I have to go and if I don't know my glasses, it's over. So I don't know what to tell you. I feel like it's okay. but it's definitely your fault. It's not my fault. Whose fault is it?

Sirius, they should fix it. It's technology. Use the AI on that. I don't think we can blame Siri for you texting everyone incorrectly. Let's see. Hey, Siri, text Roxy Shriar. Okay. What do you want to say to Roxy?

Hey, Roxy, period. Just wanted to say, I think you are a really good host, period. Sometimes you say things, and I can't believe that you say them the way that you do, comma, but it's really impressive, period. Thanks for everything you do, period. Brett has a great hat on today, and you should check it out, period. Maybe we should buy it at the store, period. A new one, period. Thanks, period.

Done. You spoke pretty clearly. Right. Hey, Roxy, just wanted to say, I think you are really good host. Sometimes you say things, and I can't believe that you see him the way that you do, but it's really impressive. Thanks for everything you do. Brett has a great had today

and you should check it out. Maybe we should buy it at the store a new one, thanks. Right. Jibberish. Yeah. And who's, and you guys want to... And whose fault is that? Did you hear everything I said when I said it? I think it's your fault for choosing to do that. Like that would be like saying, okay, I know for a fact

that this car, this self-driving car crashes. But I'm going to buy that car anyway and drive that car anyway. Whose fault is that? The cars. Right, Brett? But you don't bother to, like, because if I'm driving, I won't proofread it. No. If I'm doing...

Take responsibility. God damn it. Yeah. I just did. I'm responsible for Siri messing up. Now, I want to know, Rocks, we've had a lot of things we've, like, I realize that we could never be together, like, how close you need to sit to the screen and the air. But your dislike of dogs is some... Not a dislike. I could take dogs or leave them.

I'm not... Yeah, me too. It depends on the dog. Like, truthfully, here's the thing. I... And this makes me wildly unpopular and I get it. Yeah. Especially with me.

You can... I like your dog. Oh. You should not assume that I'm cool with your dog. Like, my... Some people let their dogs lick you, jump on you, scratch you, sit on you. That's your dog, homie. And if I don't want that, I'm going to say, get off of me,

dog because I didn't sign up to have a dog. I had dogs growing up. I had dogs. I had cats. I had fish. I had birds. It was like an effing zoo. And my dad wouldn't clip the birds' wings because he thinks it's animal cruelty so the bird would fly around the house and the cats and the dogs and the trees. There was a lot of animals. I loved my dogs. It's like Ace Ventura when you walked into that. It was wild. It was wild. I have crazy stories about that that I could tell you because we think that a person who would clean my house killed the bird.

Oh. Anyway, so I have love for my pets and certain animals, but like, calling it what it is, you know,

like Steph's childhood dogs. Is it a-hole? Are menaces. Are menaces. Like, I walk in and they try to take you down. They have one goal,

their hunter dogs. And it makes you not want to go over there. No, no, because I, you know, I do anything to chill with Steph. It doesn't matter. And her family's amazing about the dogs.

get outside to dogs. But, like, couldn't be my dogs. Because I would be like, stop fucking touching me. Right, right. I like the dogs I like and the dogs I don't like, you're not my dog. Okay, so, but it's not,

so it's not an overall dog thing. It's certain, it's just, it's particular dogs. I just don't love dogs as a blanket statement. Yeah, not all dogs. Yeah, people who are like, I love dogs. And I'm like, have you met half of them? Right. It's like people.

Yes. Like people, just to be like, I love people. It's like. Yeah, I prefer dogs over cats. I'll tell you that. I like cats too. I like cats as much as I like dogs. Some of them.

I had three cats growing up. Yeah. We're not going to be on the same page in this one. Yeah. It's serious fault. Me? No. This one's my fault because clearly I'm different than the rest of humanity on this one.

It's not hard to take responsibility. I booked a commercial once because I was the only one. We were supposed to pretend to be taking home a brand new pug or pit bull to the big pit bull. And we're supposed to like go, hey, this is your new. sister. And I did it. And the guy was like, oh, God, thank God.

You're the first person that didn't go, you, what you put you, you do your big sister. I'm like, you got some, you got to work it out with Siri. Yeah. It's not my fault. All right, listen, let's talk about what's going on with the,

with this strike. What do you know? Okay, so a couple different things going on right now. Starting with the WGA, we know that they went back to the table. They hit 100 days. I think as of today they're at day 106. maybe by the time you're watching this 107.

So they came back to the table and the studios have countered and the WGA is looking at the counter to have discussions. So by the time this airs, we could have some kind of an answer maybe? I don't know if they're going to do that because one of the things that WGA has let their members know is that they are like relatively on a media blackout as in they don't think it's beneficial for negotiation tactics at this point now that they are at the,

the table for this to be public knowledge because they don't need the public weighing in on what they believe, no, studios, that's too much. Don't do that. No, WGA, you're asking for too little. Keep fighting. Like, it's not helpful at this point. So they have said when they get to that next step, when they have figured out what they, how they want to respond or whatever it is and they are finished with that portion of the negotiations, then they will talk publicly about where they're at. But it is definitely progress. It's progress that they're at the time. It's progress that they're at the table. It's progress that they're even considering what the studios have said, because that must mean that they've given something. And that also means that they're going to be closer to having a

deal, which means that SAG will be closer to at least coming to the table. So as opposed to hearing previously that this was going to go on to like January, February, we're now hearing that it's going to end much sooner than that. When do you think? I'm hearing end of October is a realistic timeline, but we'll see. We know that SAG and WGA are working closely together to also support one another. You guys heard about the interim agreements where

SAG is now not using the, for the interim agreements, any WGA scripts are not eligible because that's a request that WGA made of SAG because it wasn't beneficial for the WGA's fight. So I think as long as they stay in tandem with each other, they know what they're

looking for, these studios, we always knew that they were trying to bleed people dry, but at this point, they need the content and a lot of the studios cannot take this kind of hit because all of their content is on pause. You know, there's some studios where not all their stuff is on pause. They got a lot of reality stuff. They got a ton of things streaming still. But for some studios, this is detrimental. And they're going to have to come to the table sooner. They're going to have to come to an agreement sooner. So I think the end of October could definitely be possible. I think it's also possible. One of the things that we talked about

recently was that especially with like i use warner brothers as the example that they've got one of the emmies the emys are september september okay so i think they're the i don't think that there's going to be an agreement probably get pushed i would think so because what are you guys going to do so you got the emmys that are probably going to be pushed that's definite but then you've got Warner brothers who has three massive movies coming out this year they have dune wanka and aquaman two. Those are three massive movies. And then you've got these other movies that the studios have. Disney has the Marvels.

There's these other movies that are coming out from the big studios. They want to, and especially all the award stuff, they want to make sure that they figure something out so they can have the actors promoting right there. Yeah, it's vital. I love what's going on. You want to plan it, babe? Where are you right now?

I'm just like And then when it's over We all get acting jobs Right? No It's not all right Go ahead Just say

I want to show you where Brett was Just talk So okay And the cup is to my right And my phone is to my left And And I went to the store And I got

some milk and cookies? You want milk and cookies? I said yes. Absolutely amazing. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's not even lights are on no one's home, though. It's like someone's home, but it's not Brett. No.

Yeah, I'm just like, no, like I said, it's, it's, it's an anti-anxiety thing that I had, I've been doing really well at not taking and I don't, I, I, I, I think I took. What did you take? It's Clonopin. It's what I, I don't do Xanax anymore. I did Clonopin. more of a slow release or whatever, but I think that my body,

I'm not used to being this chill. And I'm like, hey, man. Yeah, whatever. Whatever happens. Oh, shit, my arm got cut off. Well, I got two. Got two. Where did the anxiety just done this morning?

Well, yeah, I have anxiety about every day, but I've been doing better at, like, curbing it with breathing exercises. I'm trying to stay away from the pill form. But, like, I just this morning was one of these, ones where I felt like everything. I'm like, okay, I'll just take a little bit. I even took a half of it.

Back in the day, I'd take a full one. But yeah, and I, you know, I'm just like, you know, man, everything is everything. That's true. Perfect. Well, look. But also, like, you know, box office, man, you know. All right. Maybe this is a good time for a break.

Thanks, man. Thanks, man. Hey, like and subscribe, Peter. Oh, you did already? I'm sobbing. Kind of brings us back to a moment that didn't air. Nope. This fair as a show is something else.

Nope. Nope. Okay. She's probably getting to hold it together. She's going to shit herself. Oh, sweet really is. Oh, are we good? Yeah.

Why did you have to say it? I'm really soaking wet. Are you good? Are you good? Okay. Do you feel that? Yeah. I'm sorry for this, Peter.

Sorry. So what I was saying was Peter was diagnosed with the terminal. No. The fucking guy just got one of the sponsors from. Oh, thank you, Peter. Peter's a supporter. Yeah. And he said, Peter, a big fan.

Yeah. And I want to help out. go to the local. I muted you at this point. If you want to be like Peter and help out the show and not get destroyed by my two co-hosts, please consider it. All right.

What, what, you want to talk about, we didn't even get to any of this strike because we had Johnny, Johnny Gaze over here, looking at the moon. Talk about the Sandra Bullock nonsense. What was on about that afterwards? That's honestly where we're at. So hopefully.

in the next little bit we'll be hearing what the WGA, the counter was from the studios. We'll be hearing more about that. Hopefully they'll sign, seal, delivered, and then SAG will be up next, and then we'll get through this as fairly and quickly and painlessly, although it is so effing painful as possible. Oh, 100%. I think it is going to end by, I say October, November also. I still wouldn't be surprised because if it gets pushed. I know, me too, me too. Into next year.

If it does, then there's going to be. so many shifts in the movie schedule, there's still a chance right now that you can hold a lot of the release dates as they are, but there's still like Deadpool 3 and a lot of other movies that are getting already being rumored to be pushed. They're saying that California economy is losing $30 million a day. So they've lost, they've lost $300 billion? Well, Zazlof says they saved a lot. $3 billion? $300? How many are? A lot.

It's been a lot. I actually had to take a screenshot and write it down because this is all I'm able to talk about right now. And I can't wait until I can talk about other things and this doesn't matter. And pumpkins. Three billion dollars. There we go. Yeah. Because that makes sense.

30 million with over 100 days. Yeah. Wow. That's so much money. Yeah. Like. It's insane. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, for all the money they thought they thought they thought they'd, all the money they thought they saved. You know, well, I mean, I guess the studios themselves still. still saved money, but it doesn't mean it didn't hurt California in the long run. We'll see what ends up happening. Like, what SAG and what WJ are asking for financially is so minuscule that it's like, I can't even believe that it has come to this. It does feel like a power, some kind of a power play, not really a money play,

because the studios clearly want to, like, assert their dominance. And it's like, word, bro, you guys are a bunch of billionaires. You're already dominant. Do you talk about the strikes? on dates? I haven't been getting many dates recently. You know what? I'm having kind of a mental shift about this.

A good way or bad way? I like just really enjoying not having to see anybody. Like I'm just, I don't know. I really have been enjoying being single. Sorry, go ahead, please. I'm listening. What are you doing? Taking your ring and just...

No, it's not even my ring. It's the thing that comes off of here. It's a fidget. Fidget spinner. Okay, spit it then. No, it doesn't spin. It's special. I just want to point out to everybody in the interwebs.

My show, Aboveboard TV, is under a different contract, so we are not. We actually spoke to a SAG rep. Just anybody is wondering why I'm still putting out content on there. What does somebody say that? No, I just want to point that out because, you know, it's, it's, I want to cover my ass too. But yeah, we have, we've spoke to a SAG rep. We've fallen a contract that doesn't interfere with us because we're not. not working with a big studio or anything like that.

But go check it out, above board TV. I told you that. I just want to make sure you know. We are on my love life portion of the conversation. Oh, yes, yes. But we'll listen to that. Yeah, I just wanted to point. That was something I wanted to point it out 30 minutes ago,

but my delayed reaction. And you want to make sure you didn't forget it, of course. So you just shoot it out there. Just destroy the bit right in the middle. Because you'll remember that. I won't remember that. Right. And the camera was on me.

I had the camera. So that's the only reason. You know what doesn't work? And you normally know this, but I'm only telling you now because you've been doing it, when you talk through your cheek, it doesn't come off as well as when you talk with your mouth.

Well, the drugs make me feel like my mouth is over here. I mean, he's literally. This is something else today. I'll tell you. Roxel, you're feeling good about not dating. I'm not actively not dating. Like,

I'm not saying, no, I'm not going to date anybody. But I think I'm on. a little bit of a hot streak right now in life. I think that... You're feeling good about yourself. Yeah, no joke.

Like, Christian, I feel like BetterHelp was like the biggest... I know that's not a sponsor of ours today, but I'm so grateful for... I feel like therapy has been unbelievably helpful to me. I was in like just the absolute effing worst place ever. Yeah. And I'm not there anymore. And I've done a lot of self-help. And I am doing Pilates every day.

and I am in therapy and I'm eating healthy and I'm working on my mind and I'm reading books and I'm trying to be... Enjoying your best self. I'm trying to be, I don't want to be miserable. Yeah. And you kind of sometimes have to work to not be miserable and it's really fucking hard.

And you don't want to mess with that right now. Kind of, yeah, because all my girlfriends, not all of them, but a lot of my friends right now who are dating and in serious relationships are experiencing. experiencing an extreme lack of peace because there's huge issues with their partners. Like, just monumental. And just because I just want to get this out of the way, just in case anybody's thinking

in their head, I'm so not talking about staff. Yeah, I'm not talking about stuff at all. Some of Steph my friends, but, like, I have a lot of girlfriends right now who are calling me every day crying. About their issues. Something's wrong, or they're on different pages or whatever. And I feel like I'm just finding them a little bit. of peace. And so if somebody's going to come into my life, my peace needs to maintain.

I got to ask a question. Yeah. Because this is a total, dudes can do this and women can't. But like, I guess the opposite, women can and dudes can't. For me, when I was single and not in relationship, I was fine with not being in one for a bit, but I still wanted to go out and late. Yeah. It's so hard. Because you know I don't do that. I know. But don't, but isn't, but isn't just like a need? I'm really struggling in that department. Like to be honest, it's, it is so effing challenging. And like, but you, I don't know if you remember the last time you went months to years without having sex. You're going to destroy somebody when you finally.

I'm so excited to find somebody that I want to be with. Like, I just haven't had that in so long. And it, it is, it gets, this is a f-up thing to say, but it gets easier. You know what I mean? Like the first few months, it feels like you're going to. to die. And then after that, I don't know, it's just like, it sucks, it sucks. And when I think about

it too much, I'm like, oh my God, I cannot believe this. Like, one of the things I actually thought about the other day, I don't know if this is relatable to anybody at home, is I'm like, wow, I can't believe whoever I end up with wasn't going to be able to see my body in my 20s. Like, I know that's such a weird thing to say, but

like, you guys, I worked so hard on my body. Like, I just like wanted them to see me in crime for. But like, it is what it is, you know? I know what you mean, but yeah. This is a weird concept. I was like, oh, okay.

Yeah, Brett, yeah, go ahead. Brett, you were going to say? No, I mean, because it's a filthy piece of trash now. I mean, it's too bad. No, I just mean, like, who knows what I'm going to find somebody, you know? You're, you're, yeah, I wouldn't worry about that. Just interesting. Yeah.

I told you you've gotten hotter since I'm, hell yeah, let's go. It's not even about that, though, as much as like, or like, no me. through different phases of my life, kind of. But it is what it is. So I'm actually in a good spot. I know. You do see that way for sure. I just, for me, like, the filthy animal and guys. Yeah. I don't not have that.

And it's miserable, but I just can't do that because that feels worse. And that's the difference. But that's also the difference because you, you, because then you're going to, like, want that connection more. And you're going to want for, like, guys, and you go home. Yeah. Does it help if you self-mutilate? No, no, no.

could be mutilate that's just a term I threw out to my wife recently she's like oh god don't say that I'm like no I'm gonna have to go self-mutilate if we're such a weird way of phrasing it I think it only helps to a certain extent at some point you're not supposed to be by yourself forever but I won't be and I really look forward to the day

that I want to connect with somebody else that way and I think it'll be like as lame as it sounds really special for me fun fun fact female ferrets if they don't get someone there in heat will literally die. Learn that. That is a fun fact. Learn that from a veterinarian recently. You just hanging out, veterinarian.

He's the money guy for the show. He was an ex-vemented. How do he tell you that? Oh, this guy has a wealth of knowledge, and we were just sitting, we were having some steaks and talking about something. Bread to steak eater. Yeah, a steak. Brett, Brett the steak eater.

Eat them all today. You know, all the day. Woo. That one went up the nose. This is a career performance by you, by you. Career. Career. Can I ask you a question?

Sure. Do you feel like I get the assist or no? Yes. Okay. Oh, of course. 100%. Yeah, you were kind of off of it today. Nope.

All right. Nope. Let's try to end with this. Oh. You're going to end with this today. All right, what are we getting in with? This story, this blindside story. So I don't know all the details.

All that I know is that... Were you blindsided by it? Yeah, it was. All I know is that the movie The Blindside where when Oscars, it was like Alcon Entertainment's, like, biggest movie. Well, the football player who was based off was basically now kind of calling bullshit and saying that the family didn't really adopt. And they were essentially doing the Britney Spears to him. And that's... And they owe him a lot of money and they didn't pay him shit for the movie.

And if that's the case, then, you know, F those people and he should be able to get his money. and there should be an investigation as far as like what the hell really happened there. I have no, and I hope he gets due justice. What I saw some article, and I didn't even pay more than two seconds to her, because it's just the epitome of how stupid the internet is. It's like Sandra Bullock should have her Oscar taken away for her, being involved in the movie. It's like, what are you talking about?

She was acting in the movie, and it was a performance that she had. She did the performance, and then she, she won the Oscar. Now, if it turns, and even if it turns out she was actively, like, knew the story, knew what it was, like. No way. No, of course not. But it's like.

No, no, but keep going down that path. So if she did, say she did. Yeah. Then what? Even if she did, it's like, it's still, it's one of these things. It's like, she should be, she should be looked upon differently. You know, she should, we have a pretty high regard of Sandra Bullock. I think.

And if she had, and if she had knowledge of that these people were taking advantage and not paying it, then she should absolutely be ridiculed for that. But I don't think anybody thinks that, that she did. And what her performance has to do with what these people did is not even, am I wrong here? I don't know anything about the actual situation other than a quick Google where he says, one thing in the family saying it's a shakedown and not true. So I can't comment on like the legitimacy or merit of it. I'm with you obviously super effed up if they if this guy's owed money and or was being used. That's messed up and should be looked into immediately. Immediately. Unrelated is an actress playing a role. Right. Yeah. And winning an award for that role. Now if she was aware of this somehow, if for some reason

on email surface with this guy emailing her being like, please don't take this role or whatever it is, I suppose it would be worth entertaining conversations about how you can acquire the rights to movie, who needs to sign off on it or whatever.

So it doesn't think it with any performance. I just don't understand the argument. There's been controversy around this movie for a long time in general. People have called it a white savior movie. They've called a lot of different movies that and people have had a hard time with Sandra Bullock playing this role for a really long time anyway. So I feel like people are jumping on the opportunity to bash her over something that has, I believe, nothing to do with her. And to her, it's like a scripted performance.

Right. Yeah. So, I mean, it was her first at first and only an Oscar winning performance. This is the type of stuff that they do on Twitter and Instagram and everything. this is what they do. Like if there's a way to get somebody on, which the real fight was the one we brought up, which is if this guy was screwed over the way that he was,

that should be handled, that should be looked into, and that should be, but then they direct their attention towards Sandra Bullock. It's like, come on. I don't get it. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Yeah, I don't know.

And if I were heard, though, I would probably stay quiet publicly about it, but I would probably shoot him a call just because I'd be killed. It wasn't him, though, but he wasn't the one that said anything. The football player wasn't the one that said it. Oh. He wasn't the one that wanted to go to Sandra Bullock.

No, no, no, no. I'd probably shoot him a call and see just what happened. I'd be curious. Oh, sure, sure. She probably met him in the family. I'm sure they did. But anyway, I'm very curious. Why is this coming up now?

Like, what's the... Because he just came in. He just came out with it recently. Yeah, so like, and that's what it's just like, it's a big story. I mean, like, again, if he was, if he was wrong, he should be, he should be paid. And he should be, and they should find out what the hell. that was all about. So I'm very curious how the story goes, but I...

The family was on the Today Show, I think. Yeah, let's stick with the real fight, which is that, that, and stay away from Sanjay Bullock's Oscar, it's ridiculous. Yeah, that's always confusing. Even people who I think are... I mean, what do you guys think about in Oscars in general, right? Like, I know that people

had talked about taking away... Will Smith. Will Smith, Harvey Weinstein's. You know, like, obviously I'm not putting Will Smith and Harvey Weinstein in the same category by any means. I'm just talking about different people that we've mentioned taking away Oscars. Or Woody Allen or... I would say...

The Will Smith one, no, because the Will Smith one... You think it's case by case, though? I think it's case by case. Will Smith, to me, is someone who... I don't... I've talked about this before. I don't think... No matter what, violence isn't the answer

and especially in a platform like that. But I'm also, I'm one of the, I guess, few people that took his apology when he came out at the end and said, all right, let's see what he does. I believe in forgiveness, right? And it also wasn't done on the set. It also wasn't done, you know, during the middle of the movie. The movie was shot. The movie was done.

The performance was over. The performance of him winning the Oscar has nothing to do with the act that he did. no, I don't think it should be taken away. Now, Harvey Weinstein was doing deplorable shit during all this stuff and deals that were made to make these movies and the way that he did it, and the way that he got people into movies and the way that he did, in general, and the way that he bullied people into movies and bullies. That to me, yeah, I do think his Oscars should be taken away. Yeah, I do, because it's like, to me, it's like that, because it's like, you know, it's like, you're cheating. Yeah.

And you're doing despicable behavior in order to get things done. That's part of it. The shitty thing that Will Smith did was afterwards. It was after the performance. It was right before you won the Oscar, which is still crazy. Yeah, right. It is crazy. Yeah, it's nuts.

It goes down as like single-handedly, the craziest award show moment ever, I feel like. Ever, ever. But yeah, I think I do it. To answer your question, I think it's case by case. Where do you stand with it? Brett, I'm curious of your thoughts of it. Yeah, no, I totally agree. Although I'm nervous.

No, I don't, you know, again, like, yeah, I agree with Christian. It's like that, that performance was something, and then that thing that happened was something else. I don't know any, Harvey Weinstein. I mean, he should have just gone off of his good looks and charm instead of having to manipulate people with his power. That's right. I feel kind of torn because it feels like such a trivial. weird thing, like, oh, well, you are an accused sexual assaulter. We're taking your Oscars.

Like, it really doesn't mean anything. Right. So I kind of feel like maybe people just shouldn't be eligible in the future. But, like, what's done is done. If you are an Oscar winner, you already won. Yeah. It already happened. So partially, I feel like it's kind of like, it's so weird to even, like, make the

announcements, like, we're taking your Oscars. Yeah, I get it. I get it. Huh. Okay. But at the same time, I put them in jail. That's, yeah, that's what you do it. Yeah, yeah, it's like the thing that I care about the least.

But at the same time, I'm not going to stand on a platform and say, Harvey, Oscars, he earned them. I don't care if he gets taken or not. What did we got? Well, I got something else for you guys. Crazy clips. What is it? So we haven't done this since our collier live days. Oh, no.

Somebody can't hurt. No, not necessarily, but I found this. Not necessarily. I found this thing. Oh, man. I found this thing, this clips channel. It's called Crazy Clips. And I figure we'll react to like four of them and see if the audience likes it.

All right. So this is, let's see, I'm going to do it this way. Hold on. You're going to do this on the day where Brett is Brett. Yep. Yeah. Okay. All right.

Let's try it. Yep. You're on. We did it. Oh, my God. Oh, smushed. Watch that again. What, I mean, no, who's the fault here?

Oh, he looked at the family. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He's like, get lost. That truck wanted nothing to do with that. I mean, the truck on the right. Oh, that's, this is crazy. Watch this one.

This one's crazy. What is this? This one's crazy. Watch this guy's just sitting, eating a sandwich or whatever he's doing. Watch this. That's the epitome of a crazy clip. Wait, how did he get out of that? He just shot up in the air.

He just got lucky. He landed on his ass. Look at this. Wow. Wow. You guys sitting on the back of a truck. Oh, he's sitting on the truck? Yeah, he's sitting on the back of the truck.

It looks like he's on the ground. Oh, I see, I see, I see. He's sitting on the back of the truck. And now this car comes up, and I mean, dude. I can't believe he flew backwards. How did that even? I don't know. This one, you guys haven't seen this before, right?

No. What a shot? Was it a water boat? Yeah. Who's she throwing it at? Well, it's like, so it said, Little Girl hits Nassau County, he's that given the head with the water balloon.

So, but I think that it's like, this thing is like a water balloon festival. You're supposed to do that. This is crazy one. Oh, no. Don't look, don't look at this. Yeah, I saw this. Have you seen this, Roxy?

Oh, I haven't seen any of these things. So do you get scared of snakes? No, I love snakes. Okay, how about this snake? Oh, my God. I think that's a cup. snakes. That's a lot.

Wow, that one part was so skinny. You think it's just a little snake. Yeah, that was really good. All right. Wow, that's crazy. Dorena's really afraid of snakes. So I'm definitely... The turtle?

Yeah, two tortoises. The noises they make. They're lawyers. Is that how they hook up? Yeah, turtle style. But they're like fucking right in front of the... fucking right in front of the leopard. Yeah, that's what gets them going.

Hey, why'd you come back? Everybody at a college neighbor like that, or college roommate. I have current across the hall. Across all you have anything going on with that? It's been legitimately silent. Right, because of the hip. She blew out her hip.

Yeah. Yeah. So we got to find out what's going on. Anyway, I will have updates. Well, that's it. That's everything we got here today, guys. It was a crazy episode. Is this what the channel is now?

Right? How would you even describe it, Brett? Today, I don't know. I don't know. I'm just going to get out of here. Check out Roxy. Everything, Roxy Stryor. Brett Sheridan, check him on aboveboard TV.

And then, yeah, subscribe to this channel. If you haven't done it already, try to get us to 100,000. We're at 90 right now. Oh, that you'll help us out. That's it. Thanks for joining us. And we'll see you on the flip side. Spotify, Apple Podcast, all that stuff, man.

Peace.
