Hello, everybody. Welcome back to The Big Thing. What a reunion it is today. Myself, Roxy Stryor and Josh McCougar.

The band is back together. We're going to be having a bunch of fun conversations. Ozark had a new trailer. We're going to definitely talk about Ozark. We have some stuff we're going to talk about with the Sopranos, the big movies coming out. There's a board game that if you guys don't know about it, Futility, Futility, or Futility?

Futility, the art of living. The art of living? The actual game of living. Say there's so much about living that I don't even know about. But you're going to learn all about it, and we're going to talk about all of it. So much stuff. But $23,000 already says that everybody else knows it except me, but we're going to change that today. So we have a lot to talk about.

So much to talk about. It's the three of us, ladies and gentlemen. Are you ready? Here we go. Did it. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Fuck that shit. Hey, everybody.

Welcome back to the big thing. I am Christian Harloff. I am excited to have you guys here today. Look at that guy. Hey. Look at that lady. Oh, I liked your way better. So ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time the three of us have been on, I think, together since probably 2019.

Correct. On the same show. On the same show. Multiply by four. Yeah. It's been years. Right before I left for, because no. No.

You left, then I left a week later. I left first, then you left, and then you did your show, and then Rocks took over, then Rocks came to hang out on S-E-N for-N. And I got fired. Not by me. No, no, no. Yeah. What happened to that mic?

I don't think this microphone wants me to do this show. Is that the ghost of climbing? Too many memories, yeah. Just don't touch it. You're good. I know. I'm not going to touch it. Don't touch it.

Christian, don't touch it. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. So there would be a lot to talk about for sure. I mean, we'll reminisce. We'll talk about things.

You guys are like, I have started to really lean more into television now than even movies. Welcome. Once you left us, you leaned into television, what happened? No, you know, it's just this. I think that everything that's gone on in the last two years in the world is that I have no, I don't want to go to the movie theater.

I don't need to. My TV is fine. And I like my sound bar. And I just can. And you can go pee when you need to and you can pause it to. I can smoke some pot. I can do it. What I need to do. Is this where you watch? You come out here to watch your movie?

I watched the Suicide Squad here. I turned all the lights in. It was fucking glorious. I didn't miss the theater. Yeah. At all. It's, I'm in the heartbeat. So we have, we moved and we have a guest room now. And I mean, the problem is is is that Rosie's room separates the master bedroom and the guest room. Right. Right. But if Amanda's watching something that she wants to watch in there and she falls asleep, I will go into the guest room and like keep it going. Because we've got TV in there too. And sometimes I'll fall asleep in there and around like 2 a.m. And Amanda will come in and be like, what did I stink? And I was like, no, you fell asleep. I didn't want to wake you up. I didn't want to wake the baby up. So I came in here to watch. And then I'm like four episodes behind where I was. But it's glorious. The streaming thing, like it took a pandemic to convince the world to just put the stuff on streaming.

Right. Well, I mean, there's a lot of people that still try to fight it. Most of those people are not married with children. Correct. Because like HBO. Rob it in. Why don't you? But I mean, like, yeah, but you've got, you've gone to the theater and you enjoy kind of going back to the theater and stuff too.

Very alone, Christian. You're very alone. That's all it is. No matter how much I try to sell it. You know, it's year long. Since we were on Collider Live, very little has changed. Except she loves pizza now with cheese. Did you know that?

She loves cheese now. Are you into cheese? Not at all. Oh, dear. It's like, you got me. Son of a Mitch. She's a barmejan of cheddar. Oh, see, you.

What's the hell? No. I can't imagine if that was what it happened. If, like, Rock's like, listen, guys, in the pandemic, I took up cheese. And cheese. My big revelation. And that's why I've been sick the whole time. I haven't been able to get off the toilet.

She's teasing it up. That's how I'm going to find my person. Cheezing it up. It's like, what did you, what did you discover about yourself, Gouda? Good. A lot of Gouda. Good. What a Bree guy now.

You got to, I'm telling you, though, the stories, I am so glad that I, I mean, every argument that I get into my wife, after I hear fucking horror stories about what these two, her and Steph go through, a dating? Are you kidding me? I want nothing to do with it. Yeah. Nothing to do is brutal out there. It's hard out here for a rock.

It's trash. It's trash, especially because I'm not on any of the apps. So it's like, you've thought about the apps. What's wrong on your ear? I don't know. All of a sudden is sticking your finger in your ear. No, not. I'm going like this with my earring because it started to like push down.

And then this thing was going. All these girls with the fancy earrings. When Kate comes in here with her earring, it like, it disrupts the microphone. She tries to bling. She jingles. No, it like, it starts to do like the feedback. Oh, because the metal. She tries to.

Blame it on everyone else. It happens to know. I don't know what it does, but she's the only one it happens to. It pushes against and then you get this carved thing, so you've got a kind of like maneuver. Yeah, no. You don't know.

It's hard out here, I told you. For a pamp. Yeah, for a pamp. Underrated tune. The dating situation, I feel like I almost got out at that,

because I was probably like a few months away from apps. I feel like. You never were on one. Why did you need the apps for us? No, but I mean, I, say that to me. What's that? Say that to me.

Well, that's what I said. You don't need. You don't need the apps, but here's the thing. On the apps, you might find somebody that is like a little bit more your wheelhouse, like the raya or like an actual, like an e-harmy or a match.com that they actually want your flavor profile. And you know why I won't say that to you? Because I think you do need the apps.

I think it's a difference. That's mean, right? No, not mean. At all. I think we're trying to help you. No, here's the difference is that because the reason why you are going on the apps is a very different reason from why he would go on the apps. Oh. Yes.

But then who am I going to be set up with the hymns on the apps? Most likely But you can still do a little You know A little research And say, you know You can sit down You got a good picker to a point

You do. Clearly not Well no I think you clearly But you clearly might Because you know The fact is it's look It's out here in L.A. It's not easy for you

It's not easy for anybody And especially girls Women that are one like personable attractive, fun, every guy is going to come after you and the scumbags are the one that comes after you. You got to look for the guy that doesn't. Yeah, well, going to that bar that you're going to,

by the way, you ain't going to find any prints running around those fucking parts, I'll tell you that. I know, I know, but that's not why you go out, you go out so that you can just not be held by yourself. Party or get laid. Yeah. Which, you know, I can't, I don't do. Yeah, I know.

I know. It's been a long couple years. I mean, I don't know how you do it. I mean, that's like, again, the difference between. It's tough. It's been a time. What a time. What a time.

What a time. It's, yeah. Look, I don't envy you. When you go out. Me neither. When you go out, though, like the level of harassment has got to be, like, annoying. I think especially post-pandemic. Although I guess we're not post-pandemic, but whatever this time is, where we're like mid-pendee.

Well, we are here. Yeah. Yeah, so that means something. Yeah. But we're not post, but it's like doing this here, but not other places. No, no, no. Yeah. We're trending upwards.

Yes. or downwards. Whatever it is, everybody else who's going out right now until the new loki goes, hello. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. It's the same people who have also been trapped in their home. So like, everybody's a little more aggressive. Everyone's a little more desperate. Everyone's like a little on edge.

And so, yeah, definitely the caliber of people out right now are bizarre. Well, even at the comedy club and then at Flappers, when Ellis goes,

look, here's the thing. You have to also realize before this show, he and I talked, he's like, people are still in a very, like in a mood he's like because he didn't know if the nerves were there over tune to he's like they're in a very great mood that not forgiving but like they're just so they just want they just want to laugh totally right

so it's like and going into that yeah it's like people because it's like a lot of people still fresh to the fact of getting back to doing some shit right and doing some things i mean it's still it's foreign i mean we went down to visit some friends in temecula and i walked into the grocery store with a mask on and nobody else had masks on down there right and that's just riverside County in California. Right. It's a little thing. Imagine going to places like Florida and Kentucky and Alabama where there's literally

people yelling at you for wearing masks like that. I'm traveling this weekend for. I'm going to Pennsylvania. I'm going to Philly. And otherwise I would have told you if I was going to Pittsburgh. I'm going to Philly for a 200 person indoor wedding. And I'm really, and everybody has to be vaccinated,

but I'm really nervous about it. Like just the whole whatever. Yeah. When you sign up to go, I forgot to tell you guys too. I don't know if you know this from YouTube too. You know, you can't even talk about what we're talking about right now without them not allowing you to market your shows.

No way. It will not allow you to market your shows if you talk about it because in case you're talking about wrong information. No way. I found that. I didn't even give any information. Nothing. I'll find out at the end of this show if I have to cut what we just talked about.

But sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. It's so stupid. But it's like, we didn't say. I didn't say anything. I said wearing a mask. You said that you got yelled at it by some people. Sometimes it's true. but yeah because it's just so much crazy shit going on in the world so there is no this is there

was no um nobody agrees on everything in this no nobody agrees no matter what it is no matter what no matter i mean that's that's that's and that's it's funny because it does relate back to the space that we live in too and the shit that we talk about and the fact that the fact that like you could you can turn something as peaceful as movies yeah to a thing of oh fucking come over and cut your ears off I can't believe you think Robert Pattinson's going to be a good Batman. And it's like, he probably wears a mask inside. Right. He fucking sparkles and he frowns.

It's so crazy because at this point, I feel just very tapped from that. And so if somebody wants to fight me on my movie opinion, I'm like, maybe you're right. Maybe DeRaven Hanson was great. I don't know. Did you? Oh, yeah, I heard that was terrible. I thought it was trash, but everybody's in my thing. You don't understand it.

Maybe you didn't get the message. And I was like, well, then maybe you're right. Maybe you're right. It's eating shit, right? Well, apparently. Gold leader, obsess. with it. So many people, a lot of, a lot of Smodown competitors obsessed with it. And here I am, like, all right, then you're right. Then it was good. I don't know. You know.

The biggest dump on it when she was on the show. She actually was pissed about it. She hated. She was mad. You know who that, her Instagram handle is Girl with No Job? She's pretty famous. Did you see her review of the Evan Hanson? She was,

she just destroyed it, right? And all like the Platt buddies or whatever they're called, like the Platt Pushers or something. Plattipuses? The platypuses? There's a name for people that love Ben Platt. She's a platy. Yeah, there's plural.

Thank you. And she, They came after her. And she was like, listen, because she's not a movie reviewer. She just said she went to see Darren Hunt because she loved the musical and she thought the movie was trash. Right. And she was like, congratulations on your opinion. I don't care.

Here's my opinion of Ben Platt in Dear Evan Hanson. And she's gave two middle fingers and she signed up. That's it. You know, we had to deal with this. She didn't know. She doesn't know. I did sign up for this. I know it as I am sometimes.

I'm like, all right, this is the life I chose. Yeah. That's the thing. I don't even cur. I don't even cur anymore. You saw my attitude. We taped a match last week. And that was my, that was, that's my attitude now in general.

Just like, I'm, all right. What do you say? It's something interesting. Perfect. Was it perfect? Perfect. Sounds good. Somebody just like yelling at you about it.

No, no, no. Someone said something. I was like, all right. Perfect. Moving on. It's like there's not, it's like the, the, getting upset about stuff now. It's like, it's just not worth it. As my buddy calls it, they give a shit meter.

My give a shit meter is constantly at like a one. I got a baby. I got a wife to keep happy. I got a baby to keep alive. Just keep bragging. You don't want. You wouldn't know where to find the baby if you put it down. If I, first of all, where to go?

It's like, it's right behind you. So, do you know who's watching my child on Thursday for my anniversary? Who is doing that? Me. No, Kate Mulligan is going to watch my child. Awesome. Couldn't be more excited. Kate is great with kids.

So I showed, I know, she's got two of them. Yeah. So I showed. I think I showed Amanda your tweet about like, I don't know this and this is why I don't have kids. I don't even know to start with a kid. I was like, should we have Roxy watch the baby? And she's like, I don't think so.

You weren't. You weren't serious. No, I was totally. Because that would be amazing on so many levels. So scary. Live stream it. Yeah, but I would be live streaming, but I would, I don't know if my conscience would stand outside and like watch from the window.

Because imagine, Roxy, take my kids to Disneyland and like, but you can't use a GPS. Yeah. You just got to drive there on your own. We're now in a gang in orange. This has become an actual issue. me and my friends honestly because all my friends have babies now because i'm 30 so everybody has a baby no all my friends are back home that's the only friend i know my friends from out here some of them do but back home everything happens a little faster you know they all got married 26 and that's an east coast thing

yes they all have babies and so especially jews and italians they just all get married right away just that's the way i think of a good i don't get there uh you know yeah figured it out i think well i married Evan and now we've got three kids that's right so a lot of them had uh pandemic babies and the problem was that I didn't meet them and then they were upset that I didn't meet their babies during the pandemic because how am I going to meet

the baby in the pandemic and they're not mad at me but they're upset with the circumstances and so when I finally did meet a lot of their babies when I went back home they were not happy with my performance

I don't know how to describe it better than that I think you don't have to it was a bummer like it was a whole thing and they all talked about it confronted me about it confrontedly What did they have like a, it was like an intervention like Christopher and the soprano?

Kind of like, we don't feel like you connected with our children the way that we need you to. Give me a fucking break. And we're going to need you to. And like, I don't know. I don't know how to baby. You got to see the baby. I don't know how. Like, it's not.

It's hard. Here's what, here's why I'm going to give you some props. It's better. I would much, I have friends and I'm, you do too. Yeah. Think they know. Yeah. Don't have babies.

Think they know. They don't know shit. And they're like, oh, no, you can do this. You can do that. You don't know jack shit. When someone owns it, when someone goes, I'm not good babies. Oh, and they ask you to do something like, I can't. Oh, is that why you can't do it because you have a baby?

Roxy is always going to be like, oh, I didn't know that. I'm not good with babies. She doesn't pretend she's going to be good with them. Right. I have respect for that. I agree. I didn't know you're supposed to wash your hands right before touching the baby. Like, I didn't know that.

Or like, I didn't know that you're not supposed to touch the top of the head or whatever it is. I didn't know that that's what I thought you were going to end with. I didn't know you were supposed to wash your hands. In life, I didn't know until pandemic. Who knew until they put it on the walls? Who knew it knew where it couldn't eat a full hot dog? I don't care. Nobody knew that.

So things like that and like when the baby comes in the room or like I go in the baby's room. Baby walked into the room. Hi baby. Hi baby. Like that. Hi baby. Hi baby. Well, there's a lot of them with a lot of names.

Yeah. And you don't want to like mix up them. So I just hi baby. And everybody's like, why are you doing that? And I'm like, I don't know what to, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. And also in your defense. I love it.

It's really bad. In your defense, and to piggyback up with Christian said, is you don't hang around with a lot of babies. You don't have nieces, you don't have nephews. Jett doesn't have kids. But in the defense for them, on that. Sky. Remember this stuff. When you're in that world, even in here, that's all you know.

It's all you know. And they all have it. Yes. So when they all have it, it's like to me, a lot until recently a lot of you fuckers didn't have it so when I was in 2012 a toad hop

now you know you didn't back but now you know when I was when I would come in because Vivian was like a year old when we started doing the show me a year and a half yeah and I would just starting to say wild man

and I would come in and I was coming in like this you know and move and you guys are come on hang out of wild wings and do this I'm like dude I ain't got it to do it tonight and everyone's like oh fucking he's lost it isn't the thing And then you realize it's hard. But I was by myself as opposed to Roxy's friends.

They all have each. So she's the odd man out. Yeah. But the one thing I will say, and like whether this is a societal thing or whatever, is that I think that because I have a vagina, they all just thought it would be, I know, I grew at this pandemic.

Congratulations. You got a vagina in the pandemic. You got a vagina. What a great. What a great band. Ladies and gentlemen, coming to the stage, Vangina. It's a Vangina.

Man on a vagina, it's a vagina. It just pulls up and it's pink. And people come out of it like birthing, like they've got covered in afterbirth? Covered in afterbirth. It's a hard rock punk band. I've seen the white thing. So go ahead.

Tell us about this horrible experience. No, just the people expect. Go ahead, please. I'm very uplifting. I'm this horrible experience. I'm really, really, I'm an uplifting kind of gal. You are. I'm very excited.

No, they just expect because I'm a girl. that I am going to have the thing. The instinct. The instinct. And I don't have it. Not everybody does. And so I think that when I walk in and I do things like go over and tap the baby's head and they're like, don't touch my baby's head.

Don't touch the head. Don't touch the head. Is this work? Right. And the baby's heads are very soft. Really soft and they smell good. This is. Yeah, I didn't know.

Brett Sheridan had a bit at Acme comedy that was so good. It was a sketch that he did. He's got kids. They're like 30 at this point. They're older. But he, And he was, they did this bit where he did a new baby smell. And the guy who was addicted to a new baby smell.

And he would go over to people's houses to smell the babies. But it was like, and it wasn't a creepy guy, but he was just like, oh, my God, oh, my God, I smell so good. They do. They smell good. It does. So you have to find your things. That's one of my things. I like the smell.

Oh, babies, right. Yeah. But then you can't be that person. So how did it leave off, though? That's what I want to know. So did you explain to the facts? One of my friends and I didn't speak for months afterwards. It was really uncomfortable.

And then... Would it be as uncomfortable as if I licked your cup right now? Why would you do that? No, you know she hates the cup. It was just very uncomfortable. And then like a couple other friends intervened and the thing about me is that I know...

What did she say to make it that uncomfortable? She said that it was unfortunate that we had been as close as we were for as long as we had and things were going to change because I couldn't connect with her child. It's not your responsibility. Yeah.

I also, it was one time. It's also like six months old. you're not going to connect with it until I can like say words. You take it to Vegas? It was one time. It was one time. I'm just, and I brought,

I thought that this is what you're supposed to do. I brought the, I had already sent a gift when the baby was born and then I brought a gift too. I thought bringing the gift would be nice. Yeah. But maybe I brought the wrong gift or something. Probably, but that's like,

this is how I would honestly, to be completely honest, if Roxy came over and did all that stuff, my wife and I would go, fuck, she's 29 years old. She's not, it's not her strength.

And I, And I tried. And you tried. And you tried. It's all you showed up and you're like, hey, is the baby do crack yet? Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you, though, if it was like, if you would have, to me, if you would have shown up, like, I got this.

Yeah. I know what I'm doing. Then you deserve everything you get. Which I didn't at all. It doesn't seem like. At all. Because I don't know what I'm doing. It sounds like I had a blast at home.

Oh, every time. And then they just keep having them. And this sounds like. So they want you have a baby basically. This sounds like a really good futility card. That's what I wrote down over here is because. Well, speaking of which. ladies and gentlemen, good segue.

Can you pronounce it? Let's see. Futility! The actual game of living, ladies and gentlemen. Look, $23,000, almost 24 at the time of this taping. You guys can go. The link is in the description. Ken was on the other day.

And tell me about how this all came to be. Tell me about the game. Go. Yeah. So, you know, when we were launching the Good People Association, we were thinking of things we needed to do during that live stream. And Ken was like, we should play a board game. And I was like, yeah, I want to make up one.

And he was like, we can't just like make a board game. I was like, yeah, yeah, no, I got an idea. And I pitched him, he's like, I don't know if I see it. So then I like basically made it. And we played it. And afterwards, he was like, I think this works. And so we kept playing it, right? You know, it's a mixture of like a raunchy card game mixed with a classic board game.

Right. So one of the card, like, you could land on a blue space and be like, went home to visit my friends. I don't have a baby. They do. They think I'm an idiot. Go back two spaces. Right, right.

Or go forward five spaces because I'm living the dream. Right. It's more of a fun way of doing that. Right? Or like, my friends from home will keep having babies. I'm just outliving the dream. Five checks, right? Because you've got to earn destiny checks to win the game. Play-throughs about 90 minutes.

Yeah, destiny checks. Yeah. So you earn checks. There's like, you got to dodge arrows, road construction. It's life. It's the actual game of living, right? And it's just like a ton more fun, realistic version of a classic board game that has like a bit of an R-rated tint to it.

Well, I mean, that's, and if someone asked me to guess who made that game up, I think that even without knowing that you guys, we're trying something, I would just say the first I'm gonna, correct. Yes, exactly. Well, good, and you guys, and it's Kickstarter. That's the way to do it. It's the only way to do it at this point.

Because even, well, I mean, Skybound does it that way. Yeah. A company like Skybound does it that way. For their games. Yeah. For games, that's how you, that's how you do it, to see what the interest is like. Totally.

You see how it's, most, when, that's how a lot of these places do it. And I, as Ken was telling us last time on Big Thing, that you guys got in touch with a guy who does this for living and the whole thing kind of came together. He built this whole thing. His name is Sebastian. He was a Shmo's fan from 2015. Great.

And he kept following us everywhere. And we started talking about trying to get the board game and this and that. And he's like, well, I make kick starters. And they did everything. I mean, it's unbelievable what he and his buddies down in Uruguay do. I want it to be Sebastian and a scout. I know. Me too.

I want you to say Uruguay. You want to make a board game out of life? Why don't you just live it? It's right there. Very good. Good pitch to buy the board games, Sebastian. Thanks, Sebastian. Thanks for building this for us, buddy.

I appreciate you. That's what he does. He just says, you don't need a game. In a Sebastian-like inspired thing, you got to try gorilla pies. I know it's a crazy thing. Oh, I've heard. I mean,

Gorilla pies. I keep hearing about it's pizza. It's Pittsburgh. It's Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh style pizza. You can't do it. It's so good. It's going to be hard to convince me, though,

with two reasons why. Why is that? Number one. Pizza wagon in Brooklyn still exists. It's fantastic. They just opened a Joe's in Beverly Hills. Did they really? Right across the street from you and me, sushi.

Oh, no. You love that spot. I could die there. Yeah, it's good. It's really good. And I didn't tell my wife this the other day. Coming home from dinner, where was I coming home from? Coming home from the event that we did at Scummanville andy can'tina.

And the route for some reason took me down Little Santa Monica. For some reason. No, no, no. At the time, it pushed me down the other side. You sound like me. I know when I was going down and I'm like, okay, I can get home this way. and I go down Little Santa Monica and I'm like, well, wait a minute. I'm going down a little Santa Monica.

Usually I always look to the left at you and me. And I go, I wish I could be there. I said, but this time I'm on the right side of the road. And there's a Joe's pizza there. And I'm like, if there's a meter up, there's a meter open. And I pull in, I go in there. The world handed you. What they didn't have this time was a cheese slice, which I usually get the two cheese slices and that's it.

And are they not doing slices because of pandemic? No, they are. I just didn't have any cheese slices at that point. The village doesn't do twice in it. It's Sicilian. And I don't normally, the only place I ever like Sicilian pizza. Was that the thicker one? Yeah, the thick brick slices.

And the only place I usually like that is this place via pizza and Queens. Okay. Yeah. Many at times. So I said, let me try it. It was fucking delicious. Yeah. It was really, really good.

The VIP, the, the, uh, the Sicilian slice of Joe's in Beverly Hills was the shit. Are you guys going up to San Francisco at all for Smodown? Anytime soon? Not at the moment, but maybe next season. So there's a place up there. It's called Square Pie Guys. And it's Detroit style, which is basically Sicilian, just a smaller, it's like a smaller pan. Yes.

It's unbelievable. It's the best Sicilian pizza I've ever had in my life. And every time somebody even brings up Sicilian, I'm going to go back. Next time we go to Queens, I'm going to take, like, to New York, for the Queens for sure, because we're going to Brooklyn. I'm probably going to go to Prince Street. Yeah. Because we'll be there.

because we wanted to get you in New York. But next year, it's been a rough, it's been a rough season for you in the Shmodown. It's been a rough season for me in life. But yeah, the Shmodown has been kicked. She kicked my butt.

The manager the year to manager. I'm not even going to be nominated this year. But someone asked, but someone asked me the other day who had the roughest. I don't think it was on air. I think it was off the air. They said, who was the roughest season?

Was it swag or stars? I said, stars, it's not comparable. It's not comparable. Like, I lost my two, my team's champion. They both left. You lost your two A players. I lost both of them.

Right. Fuck digital. Yeah, it's, it sucks. It's, it is, and plus you guys got so much shit from, like,

thinking people cheated on things and all that shit. It's become a parasite. Yeah. The digital has become a parasite that is gnawing away at what we built. Yeah. It is, it is, it is really,

really tough. At the same time, it's, I feel very grateful for it. Of, of, I did because of the, I mean,

You know what I have to talk about, even though sponsor stuff doesn't even start yet until like next week at Butcher Box? Yeah. Ellis, I got to go to his place. He's got so much meat to give me. Do you eat pork? Yeah. I eat pork.

I eat pork. I'll give you both. I have so much. I'll give you both. I'll give you both. I'll give you both. I'm glad. It's okay.

Before you leave today, I'll give me. Like, there is so much of it. I need it for sauce. That I'm going to give it to the both of you. You'll be fine. Okay. But the meat, the beef that they have to. It is this grab.

Yesterday for my, for my daughter's birthday. It was Macy's fourth birthday. Yesterday? Yeah. Maze four? Four years old. And so we made. And she loves cheese burgers.

She goes cheese. She goes cheap burgers. And it's out of these grass. She's talking like that? Oh, yeah. She's four. I haven't seen her. She doesn't know what that means.

The last time I saw her was. Four means talk talk. Yeah, she started talking around like one and a half. The pandemic barbecue that we didn't know we were spreading COVID. Everybody wasn't. She's got, but she had the cheese burgers and everything, but this and but getting into our conversation about the Sopranos. Yeah.

So my whole thing, what I'm going to be doing is. I have decided because I got a screening for it. I didn't go. It was at Century City. Decided not going. And then I asked for a screener. They weren't doing it. It's like, okay.

So you know what? Sadie is because of the butcher box meat that they have. She's making me an insane amount of meatballs. Oh, God. And the Penae, or actually Rigatoni and sauce and all of it. And I'm going to put my robot. I might as well get a newspaper and kick back and watch it. I don't know if I'm going to watch it once in the morning and once at night.

but I'm going to be watching it and I cannot wait and the butcher box me to it it's no fucking joke you think he's inviting us right now or no no it's this is by my I'm watching the Sparana's movie

three times by myself so if you had to gauge are we invited so you guys both want I would say that I would say the Evite got lost in the email in the email

what you're saying is can I come yeah it's right it's true I mean apparently not in a few years it's streaming HBO Max you don't have to you don't have to spend any more money

it's streaming for customers I love it Yeah. Come on. Did you see it yet? No, I wasn't cool enough to get the invite to the Century City one. And then I asked for the screener and they didn't do it. Yeah, they're not doing it.

Which is weird because it's digital. So usually they'll do it when it's digital. That was a David Chase thing. Oh. Does not want to, did not want a link sent down. I mean, it's a high or out or Taylor who directly. Because you know, as a dines, like the steel stuff pirate is this is a soprano's movie. I had a soprano's joke that I told on at Flabroids.

You would have loved that. Is that not like kosher to tell it now? Not on the air. I want people to come see it. Yeah. He's going to go see. He's going to be in New York in a week. It's in a week?

That one's in a week. That one's on Thursday and Friday at the Manhattan Comedy Club, a New York Comedy Club in Manhattan. And then. The East Village one. Yeah. The East Village one. Hey.

You know what? Yeah. He's a good. How's the good? How's how it's a home? That's like. Speaking of New York, you watching. Oh, he murders in the building yet.

Yeah. Everyone's talking about this. It's so good. Everyone loves this show. You got to watch you, man. Come on. That sounds like a stone hippie. I went straight to your Bob Dylan.

Yeah, that's what it was like. Speaking of which, I have that somewhere. You've got to do it like in a little old school. If I can find, is that it? There's a thing I'm going to tell you this ain't no giant. Yeah, it's about a time of three of us we're on. Yeah, it was a thing sometimes said it kind of was some fun. Mukugu would get real scared

And Roxy would say Hey, can I come And then we dance And then we cry And then we said Chart, what is that? I don't know. Christian screaming about a theme park

I said, oh yeah, everybody was time to go And shut it down Because everyone got Fire in the run around the town Dude, that's so good That was really good I was like your best one. Really good.

Did you prep that? No, I did not. No, that was very good. I was very good. I was really nervous. I was really nervous. There was one part where you said something, McCuga, and then it rhymed with, and then Roxy says something.

I know you were going to say something dumb. And you said, can I come? I was so happy. I'm like, that I make funny. Yeah, yeah, but the people already do it enough. So I was just ready for it. A brace for impact. And then it was nice.

And Bob's nice. You might be the most, like, good sport, female I've ever met in my entire life. Thank you so much. I try very good. The amount of shit. that you get from us dumb-dums is the dumb-dum it is but sometimes i do i don't help my cause like i 30 seconds ago before you did that josh said something and then i repeated what he said i thought on my head good contribution rocks your own worst critic though right you just said

what he said again good job rocks i have got to tell you my daughter is impressing the oldest one every fucking day she's by tomorrow she's gonna be smarter than i yeah uh she this kid the amount of books that she reads and everything. The other day was National Daughters Day, right? So I said, I mean, it's National Daughter's Day. And she goes, shouldn't it just be Women's Day? Because everybody's a daughter. Whoa.

Mind blowing. Right. And I'm like, yeah, you're fucking smart. Yeah, Dan. You're raising a smart one there. She goes, she goes, everyone's a daughter. She's like, even if they don't know their parents, they're still daughters. And I was like, yeah.

And I'm going to cry in my kids. Right, right. And she, like, today we're walking and she's like, dad, I got one, question wrong on my uh on my math on my math thing and really upset with myself one question wrong right and she goes she's like yeah and i realized yeah i said what was your biggest what was you i said what was your biggest thing then what did you realize that by looking at it she's like that i knew my mistake and i was like jeez i'm like this fucking kid she has no idea how like what do you do then what is it that you do just like are you supposed to like nurture the you get like tutors

Well, I mean, we're going to, you know, she just, she reads. She's reading, she's in the fourth grade. She reads like almost like a seventh grade level. So you lean into that? You just encourage that. I mean, look, honestly, though, the pandemic, though, she, that was what she was, she was reading book upon book. She would read, I mean, she could crush Harry Potter novels in like a day and a half, two days, just all day. Not like the way she does.

But you do sometimes? I wish I read more. When I didn't have kids as much as, I read more. Or even when I had one kid, I read more. Two kids. When don't I have fucking time? I just read articles on my phone. Yeah.

And because I don't. That's what I do. That's the same. I don't, when do I have time to do that? I'm either, exactly. I'm either working, writing. Or with the family. With the family.

That's it. There's nothing. Yeah. See, you have time to read now. You should do it. Yeah, no. But you like, here's the thing is, and Roxy and I've always have.

I don't like it. Even though, like, my job isn't per se anymore to watch television. Put down the book. Pick up the remote. That's what I'm saying. Right. And so I, like, even though I still love TV and a man and I find a common ground that's like our happiness and our marriage is one of our happy places. Right.

It's watching a show together or a movie. And so the, like the reading kind of goes by the wayside. It's not easy to do. It's not. And I told you this, the first priority is always the kid. Always. No matter what. She doesn't cast to be at all times.

Yes. I mean, I don't know if I want to be, like, I don't want to say eventually you will know. Because I don't know. That's a serious question at all times. Here's the thing. If you eventually decide that you do want to have kids, you will know it. You will know that it becomes everything.

It's just there's an attachment that comes to it. And the thing is that people say like, well, well, I, maybe I won't be that person. I remember my wife sitting down when we had, we were having dinner and she was pregnant with my first child. And she was, and she's going, I don't know. am I going to be, am I going to be like a good mom? I'm like, yes, you are. I know you all enough, right?

That doesn't mean like everyone's going to be a good mom. You should make the choice of whether or not, or dad. If I'm never going to do it, I'll sack up and be good. That's, that's the thing. Because you're not a trashy. Yeah, I'm not like, you also know. I don't know how yet. Right, right.

And you also, and the thing is. I didn't know how. I'd had a baby. No, I'm a great dad. And we talk about it all the time, he and I, where we had a conversation. Like, I'm never getting married. I'm like, I'm never having kids. Yeah, right.

And then you'll know when you know. But that's what Ellis says. You guys think that. Ellis, I don't think he's ever get married. Ellis is junior soprano. Yeah, he's junior.

Yeah. What's the difference between Josh saying that and Ellis saying that? Because Ellis... Different. You were two very different people that... Ellis doesn't... You can't... You could change me to a certain extent, right?

Like, you could change my ways a little bit. Like, I would help work with you. You can't change Mark. And is it... And it's... Because when he was going... He was doing a lot of same shit that I did when I was the same age, right? And watching...

I'm like, yeah, you know, you can see the family, background they had two. Not that Ellis and Ells can be a pretty good family too, but different in the Italian family. So you always, there was a thing inside that you never admit it, but you always wanted to have a kid. Yeah. And Ellis wants, Ellis just wants to sit down and watch football games until the day he dies. Yeah. Like I was talking to somebody recently like, oh, yeah, you think that that's going to be the girl that does it? No.

He's had his opportunities with girls. Thank goodness a couple of them. Ellis is my dad without the divorce. Yeah. Like my dad, like I was always, none of my, my, my, my in-laws and my parents never got remarried. Right. And I got into a fight with my wife recently and I looked at my, all of them, I went, I get it. It's like afterwards, you're just like, if I, God forbid.

I did it once. That's it. Yeah. That's it. And for Ellis, Ellis is anyone do once. No. Ellis is good. Ellis has. And Ellis is a catch.

And that's the thing that, like, it pisses off my mom because she loves Mark Ellis. Women love Ellis. Women love Ellis. He just is Mark Ellis. Yeah. This is not one of these things. Oh my God, Ellis has no luck with women. Ellis has a lot of luck.

Tons of luck. He chooses to have the luck. I can tell you, I remember trying to set him up back, and we even went out with this girl, very attractive woman. He's just like, eh. I'm like, you're an idiot. But that's Ellis. The thing is, though, I don't know if I can say he's an idiot anymore

because the man knows what he wants. Right, exactly. As the person who knows him least in the room, but still is friends with him, I think he's going to end up with a life partner. I don't know. I think the dog, I think the dog is proven that he pretty is, I think that God forbid, whenever Molly isn't here anymore, I think he gets another dog now. 100%.

Yeah. I think that yes to that, but I think he's going to find a girl that he wants to spend the rest of his life with. I don't know if he's going to do marriage or kids, but I think so. If he was 30 years old, I'd say you're probably right. The man's 41 years old now. No chance. He likes his life the way it is. It ain't going nowhere.

Yeah. And I said the opposite. I said the opposite about him. And I said the opposite about Ken. I said, Ken, we'll find someone. I don't think Ken will have kids. Yeah, I said, I said, Ken will find someone, and he did. Yeah.

Well, he found somebody that definitely does not want kids at all, like once, no, but that's for now, though. So I think she has to get changed. No, no, Grace is sort of like in that Ellis scenario of, like, you can't change grace. You're not going to. But I think the difference is that grace is such a fucking great actress. Yeah. That, like, I think at the moment she wants to, she really, like, that's, that's her thing.

You might be right. And maybe one day she decides that she wants to hold back. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe not. I've talked to her many a time on. You probably know better than I do. Positive you report about it. And she's, I mean, listen, I,

today's different from tomorrow. Correct. Because we're limited, though. Like if she wants, right now I'm having to deal with freezing my eggs. And it's really like, it's challenging because you have to. I'm freezing your eggs now. You're 30 years old. Well, I'm starting the process probably in a year because by the time you're 35,

your eggs like are less than half that they are when you're in your Chinese. So you don't have that much time. And I'm not with somebody right now. Right. even if I was with somebody in a year or two years, I'm not going to pop out a baby. So the more, the younger you do it,

the more eggs you have. So the fact that I know I'm not going to have a kid within the next few years, you have to start the process. I mean, it's a responsible thing to do if you are even contemplating wanting. Do you think if you moved back to Boston

that you would be married with kids? I think that if I'd stayed in Boston, I would have married my high school sweetheart. Yeah. For sure. And I just was at his wedding. Oh, wow. How was that?

Was it weird? It was really strange. It was really strange because he's, the bet we're still very close i love him interesting that he would invite you we're really how does the guy yeah i think um she's come to terms with the fact that we're always going to be in each other's life like he was with me and my mom died and he was really close with my family and we we split up because i was never going to leave l.A and he wanted like picket fence wife at home that situation you wanted what you were talking about earlier exactly and so i think that if i had stayed i just he came to l.

he no no he came to visit right but no he never he he he lived we were long distance after her high school and it just didn't work out for many reasons. Also, like, we weren't compatible that way. Right. Right. So I think that she came to terms with the fact that I was never going to try to steal her man if I had wanted him. Like if I was, if that's the life I had wanted, that's the life I would have picked. And so I went, it was weird though. It was weird because his whole family, it was right before I shot the movie. And- Look to you said, what the fuck are you doing here? Well, no, that, like, his college friends kept coming up to me being like, Roxy, why are you here? And I was like, well, because I was invited. But he called me before the

wedding and he was like it's important to me like you've been so important my life it's like a ross rachel thing no no no no like it's it's a conversation though you gotta have with the wife yeah there's no fucking chance that she was cool of it though there's no she she she may say it but you're not cool with it in the fact that playing it cool like i'm giving you this one but she's gonna use that over that motherfucker ever yeah that's not uh maybe maybe they ain't no maybe about it she's definitely gonna use that against them you know that's her card that's She said, okay. Yeah, you can have that one.

Okay. Now, wait, you're saying no to what I just, no, you can't say no. Correct. You are not allowed to say no to anything that I ask you now. I don't think he's the kind of guy who would ever say no to anything he asked her anyway. Yeah. Like he's such, he's just a stand-up, dude. We were together for on and off for like seven years.

Seven years? A long time. But on and off, very on and off. Like, I was in college, so definitely off. Sorry, I'm listening. In college, definitely off. Yeah. and off back and forth.

And it up. Yeah. He went, his nickname was all American because he was just like such a like good dude. Was he your age? Same age? Yeah. Okay. I mean, if I had invited any exes to our wedding, even in like the hookup realm, if

Amanda knew about it. I don't know. I'm not too. She gives me shit a lot about like that stuff. Me too. Because, you know, when I was. We have history. To no one.

To no one. To no one. people know that in that time, 2006, 2007, I wasn't a relationship person. It's a very nice way of it. Right. My wife and my wife... Can I use that term as well?

Yeah, 100%. And my wife ran into a few people that I knew during that time. And she continued, yeah, she continues to say, like, you know, like, she's like, oh, like I had people, I had, at one point I had some guests on the show that, and she's like,

That must have been nice for you. And I was like, you're going to give me shit? Remember that joke I had? Oh, no, I don't remember. Do you know that joke? What was it? You did really well at that. I was there.

Were you there? Yeah, you were there. Nobody remembers me. I remember you being there. I'll tell you the funny here. Josh didn't remember. Sorry. The line was, I think it was like, God, you got to appreciate Christian.

I mean, not many people start a YouTube channel and build it up to a success just so he can hang out with his ex-girlfriends. Oh, yeah, yeah, right. Right. So that's, and that's, and so she, and she gave me, she, she continues to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But she's, but she's, she's great about it. Yeah. She's great about it. I think it's as long as they never catch you in a lie. Like, that's what it was. Yeah. Like, there was, there was a time, like, that had happened at one point where I didn't, I didn't just volunteer information. But like, did you ever with that person? I'd be like, yeah. Uh-huh. But I let that. No, it's bad.

Right, which I would never do. Right. But I held, at one point I had held, and I just, I just didn't say anything. And then it was like, she's like, really? You couldn't have fucking just told me that? Right, right, right. But either way. So I'm glad though that you had that, but it was still, you had that awkward thing, but he had it still, was

it a little therapeutic going there and say, okay, look, this guy's off, he's happy now. It was really nice because he's a great guy. He deserves happiness. Not one part of me thinks that's my person. And so it was really nice to like watch him get that. happiness that he really deserved, but it was weird. I was with all my best friends and their husbands. Right.

And we're there and like his family keeps coming up and they're like, you're seeing anybody? You're kind of a dream wedding human though for a like non-relationship person. Yes. Because when I was single up until like I was 34 when I met Amanda, I guess, 34. So like up until I was like 30, you know, 33-ish whatever is every wedding I went to, I was always the single guy. But nobody back east is single. Nobody.

So I'm at weddings where there's, you know, I mean, like, nobody. I'm going to one this weekend, and I called the groom and we're talking. I'm like, you have somebody that you're setting me up with? And he was like, my weird cousin, out. See, you feel old when to us, you're fucking a baby. Well, out here, it's different, but back there. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Back home at East Coast, you're older. Yeah. You're older. It is. A hag. I know. It's a you are. It's like you're 29 years old.

You show up at a wedding. Here you are, you are like the world's most most. perfect situation. Back east, you're like, what's wrong with her? You remember I was talking about my buddy, I say his name's Richard. It's a guy who's, you know, I got to be honest with you. I got married when he's 22 years old.

And he's like, he's been married. He's a tough one. He's like, listen, I got to be you come to the wedding, you have a good time, and you know, you get a lot of fucking pasta. Make sure you come and enjoy some. But that was making cookies before fucking years. Pasta Richard. It was my favorite, though, my favorite conversation that I ever had with him was at one

point, walking in, he had done something. He and his wife had been together for a long time now, but at one point they had kind of split up

and they, and he walked in. The wife that he married at 22? Yeah, but they had split up beforehand, they had like a little,

you know, shocking. In an off time at one point. There's always an off and get back together. But, you know, when we walked,

I walked in, we had gone to, my favorite fucking story about him, we walked into his place and his mom was like, his now wife, but his mom loves her

and was really mad at him that they broke up. And we were, walk in together. I don't know what I was walking into. And we walk in and she goes, you're an animal. And he goes, I know them all. It was the best.

It was the fucking best. How do you fight with that? He didn't. He said, come on. And he had, and he said, come on, this, just go in my room. I don't want to hear it. This reminds me, though, of like a time. So, you know, in Denmark. Nice to see you, Danish Christian.

It was so good. It was very nice to see you. So in Denmark, right? You're like, the government makes you get married at 18. They do. Like, if you're dating somebody, when you're 18s are like, come to the courthouse, you're now married. Right.

Right. And so. Sometimes on the way there. It has to be, so he's a girlfriend that you're currently with. But like, you can put it off. But eventually, the government comes to your house. They're like, hello. He's like, hello, my name Christian Harlaff.

So like, are you single? He's like, yes, this is Stein Bromson. And she was now your wife. And you're like, okay. Sometimes she sings at the wedding. Correct. And well, she sings her classic Stein Bromson. You know.

Right. I don't remember. Sorry, I don't remember. Can somebody remind me what the song sounds like? I think, well, I can't tell you. It's a hooka look. Well, hooka look, they banded in some parts. Yeah, well, in the southern part of Denmark, it was so happy.

It was so happy. But the northern part, they're very depressed because, you know, it's dark half the year and light after year. So no, no, no. No, more, I think they're one that's called sugar look. Oh, sugar look. Yeah, sugar look. Don't doon to talk to float, diesel hark on phone, sugar look. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's really good. So, you know, but like, so my first wedding I went to, you know, like, so in Denmark, what's they do is they take you to the government building and they say, like, oh, do you marry her? Do you marry her? Congratulations.

Now you pay us 70% taxes on everything. And then we went to the party at the bar. Yeah. Not to be confused with the party. This was the party. The party. The party. The party.

Yeah. You know. Three party. The party before the party. No, it means it's the fucking party. Oh. Well, there's obviously Stan Bromson song. The party.

You can only get in, though, with like, you got to have, you have to have. You have to have a laminated album. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody knows. Yeah. It's like, it's like your press badge, you know,

like when you go to your fancy conventions, you know, and you're talking to your celebrities just as like, is a joker, whatever you're wearing, like to riddler. And that was her second album. It was called Laminated.

Yeah, well, it's, that was her breakthrough English album. Yes. Oh, I thought that was like a metaphor. No,

that was factual. Yeah. She performed on BBC Sue. Yes. Yeah. It's great to see you. Oh, well, thank you so much for having me here.

I'm very much miss you, Christian and of course, Roxy. If you move to Denmark, I know very many men that are that are married, but they are very open to cheating on someone. Guamars. They have Kumars. I can't wait. I can't wait to be with a married man who's open to cheating on his wife.

This is what it's coming. Welcome to Denmark. Roxy gets mad at me because I talk about, because Collider Alive and because she's like, she goes, did you love it? I go, I didn't. Especially recently. I've been going back and looking at. I'm crying in a corner.

I've been going back and I've been watching. because I'm starting to try to do TikTok shit, which I suck at, but I've been looking at old interviews and like, it just, it's so hard for me to understand you not missing it because I miss it so much. Like, I loved that show.

I loved the people we talked to. I loved getting there in the morning and being with you guys. It was a terrible time for me in general. It was a tough time. It was a depressing time. I hated going there. I hated driving there.

It was the work of it. I liked, so to be clear, though, I like talking with you guys. The actual part of the show. Like the shows were. Sometimes. Oh yeah.

Being in that studio, people weren't kind. A lot of times. But it was that, it was that. But it was also the stuffy studio. It wasn't like we were clearly putting in a lot of work. We were the best show that nobody cared about. No one gave a shit about it. And it was deflating.

And I just, I didn't have. And doing it five days a week was was a lot. The interviews when we interviewed people and we had some fun conversations. Yeah, that was cool. But like I, it's, it is. And I, and not with you guys. You guys are like to hanging out.

It is my least favorite show that I've done. Yeah. It's so wild. And I believe you. Yeah. Because you keep telling me. But not, but not, but not hanging, like, hanging out with you guys was a blast. Yeah.

Like that was, that part was fun. I think we were, when it felt like work, it's, you know. We were handed like a bunch of rocks and we somehow, like, were able to take those rocks and, like, make something with them. It was fucking shitty, dude. Sculpt something out of those shit. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was like, remember, we fucking started the show, like, the weekend after my brother passed away.

Yeah. It was when we started doing it. And I'm like, and then I had to live, I was living with that for a fucking year. I've talked about it. I'm not going to keep talking about the people like to where it was like they're, like I lived with that fucking anger for a year taking it on the fucking air and doing all that stuff too. And I had to go there and not really supported. No. By anybody.

Nobody. And it became the thing of like, there were too many fun can. twerps as my wife so lovingly said. I don't want to go after anybody. No, no, no, no, but there were a lot of twerps in there that were really working against us instead of trying to help us. Like, we were, we were doing really good stuff and we were not getting any kind. We were the, we were the talented people in the building and we were getting shoved under a rug. We would walk in there. I mean, again, to be fair, there were a lot of people that were doing other great stuff there. I'm not taken away from anybody. I know. When we walked, when we walked in there, I felt like

we had a lot of fun. Then we walked in and we might as well have just. set off 87 stink bombs in the fucking, because it's like, we just, we'd walk out on this high of like, who we just did. And then there's people just standing there, like, not even acknowledging the conditions were not great. Not ideal. But what I will say is that, like, as somebody who's worked in a lot of,

and I'll leave it at this, but like really not good work environments before, I felt like at least there, I did feel safe. And also, I kind of blocked every, like the second we walk into the studio, it was great, I would block everything out that was going on outside of the studio. And I just miss, I miss the idea of getting up, being with my friends, talking about whatever we want to talk about when we were allowed to. And then having those guests because I love telling stories and getting people's stories. So that's the part.

It's not like it was A plus perfect, perfect. And part of me looks at it through rose color glasses, but like I don't get to do things with you guys at all anymore. I understand that. So what is it? Yeah, I totally understand why you miss it. And I think that we had, you know, we had a lot of great moments for sure. We talked about on a, we did like a, you know, a members only stream a month or so ago because I had Mova and Shnade on Josh Pretty.

And, I mean, you guys have all been on Josh Pretty. I love having you guys on that show, super fun. And I would love to have like a Collider Live, some sort of thing in that office. Like, let's get drunk for four hours and just like, and hash it out kind of a show. And Mo. The studio is so great. Thank you. It's a lot of fun.

It really is. And we had Sheneid. It was just me, Riley, and Shnade and Ken talking about how Collider botched it in certain instances. And how, like, we had the opportunity at one point to, like, almost transition into a TV network. And it was fumbled. And we, but we had that opportunity there. There was just zero leadership in the highest of roles, the people that controlled the money, the people that controlled this kind of thing. It could have sold some things that we could have done.

So I will say this, though, because I want to make it also clear, because Fernandez was very good to me. He was good to me. I'm not saying anything about Fernandez. I know you are. I'm saying like pre-Fernandez kind of thing. Definitely. But what I also want to make it clear because Fernandez was not only really great to me when, because most people will be like, okay, when you decide it's not, you're not going to be there anymore. Go, okay, you got a week, two weeks and he gave me a month.

And he gave me a month too. And he gave me that month within the time to, so I can keep health insurance for my family until I, set it up for myself a month later. When it, when it came to Clyder Live, he didn't get involved in the creative at all. He just said, do your thing. He trusted in us and he let us go. That was great.

He had no idea who Kate was, so he didn't even know who Kate was. But he was doing, he was doing a million different things. So I want to make it clear. I think all three of us really liked him actually. Yeah, it wasn't. Totally.

I still talk them all the time too. And I know you weren't going. I'm just, I want to make it clear that it was, Fernandez was nothing but supportive to the. No, I just think like when we were bought at the point, Before, like, Roxy was a mainstay on the show. Yeah.

And we could have, I mean, there was, there was just a way that you could have done eight hours of programming a day on something, on a, on a, on a platform that wasn't YouTube. Yeah. Right. That could have been a daily TV talk, a daily movie talk, a Collider Live that was, you know, like the morning show. Here's your Collider Live. Then you got a TV thing.

It'd been like ESPN for movies. We could have had that. And nobody, like, saw that bigger picture per se. And when somebody did like, A Mark Fernandez, it was too late. We were already on this side of it. I think that the times. fucking change so strangely with YouTube also because it went from, if you look at all the stuff

that happened from IGN, um, rotten tomatoes, nerds, nerds defy, you know, the fucking is collider. Like at one point it was,

everything became very corporate. And it came corporate that was derived off of, uh, off of stuff like myself and Mark, Jeremy John, stuck me in like, it started with that stuff first. It started with simple reviews.

two people in front of a camera, one person in front of a camera, and then it started to get monopolized a bit, you know, and I think that the audience dug into that and liked that for a while and then said, we don't like this anymore. Because that structure doesn't work anymore. It's not, it's not like, oh, it was just clarity that failed. It doesn't work anymore. Like, people don't want to see it anymore. People want the stuff that really works is the stuff like the podcasting stuff like what we're doing now or just back to the, like reactions are as hot as they ever been. You look at what their fucking real rejects are doing.

They're crushing it. They are crushing it. They're great. Just straight off. I watch like every one of their videos. I love watching us guys. He is a boss. He is a boss.

I just had lunch with him recently and he's just such a, they're both great. They're both great. But I just, but Greg and I have been, have been hanging out a little bit more and, and he's just a really solid, solid human being.

I like him a lot. Off straight off just trailer reactions. Yeah. Yeah. And they've changed it and if, you know, that building, that, that model has just been so great for them because they've turned it into more. They've turned it into interviews.

They've turned it into podcasts. They've done stuff and there's ways to do that. And they do their research so that and you guys know I like research. They explain to me what's happening because I feel like a moron sometimes. I'm watching these trailers and I'm like, what is it happening? And then they are like, okay, so this character from this thing. I'm like, yeah. Yeah, I really like their stuff.

Interesting. So, so anyway, so I, when I say that to you, rocks, it's not a matter of like not working, not like working with you guys. I don't take anything. You're always straight up with me, even when it's like, whatever it is. So I don't take anything. I'm never like,

what does he really mean by this? I know what you really mean. It wasn't your favorite show. Yeah, because like this has been probably my favorite show that I've ever done because it's just me being able to just do this. And like, because there's no what we were able.

Like you could, we could do this for a little bit of Collier Live. But then it's like then we have to transition into something else half an hour. Then we'd have to go into a break. And then we'd have to come back and then we'd have to talk about this. And even if we didn't really necessarily want a guest on, the publicists wanted us to have them on. So we had to have the.

on and make the studio happy. And then we have to talk about this subject because that's what's trending right now. And it's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because none of it. I think at that point,

all of us were kind of tap from that. That's what I meant. That's what I meant more so, like where this is like, I have a podcast guy that I talk to all the time and he's like, oh, can you lead with this IP? And I'm like, no. Yeah.

I don't want to because he's like, yeah, but it'll play better. It might. Yeah. But I don't want to, I don't, I don't, I'm fucking bored with it. I don't want to talk about it. And the audience knows. I've gotten so many comments.

I've been more active on my Facebook page and I've got so many comments of people saying we can tell that you are just having fun doing this. I get to hang out with my friends. And last time you came in, you saw in the comments, they were just like this Christian and Josh just fucking around and talking like we used to do.

Exactly. And like I... FOMOMOMO. Yeah, but like, but the tote hops. I even think that Shmo's suffered from that shit. 100%. Towards the end of it, it was just... We were just on two giant stages. We weren't in that.

It just... It was the same thing. Really and truly. screaming out of fucking tables I know. The thing that I think Shmo's was at its finest and we were as little least appreciated as we ever were

as far as like... The Afterbus house. The Afterbus house was the best. You didn't know what to explain. Because Roxy went she... When I yelled at Ken. Yeah, when we came in, it was like who are these fucking idiots?

Yeah, but I actually loved that so much too. I loved that so much. You were the first one from any of the AfterBuzz crew that fit in with us. It was cool. Because, I mean, I remember walking in, like, maybe the second or third time, and we had already gotten the bad rap as, like, the bad boys of after buzz. And I walked in with, like, two 12 packs of thing.

And I hear from around the corner, oh, most be a schmo. And it was Kathy Kelly. And I was like, are you, you're one of these people now? Like, go for yourself. I love Kathy Kelly. Happy birthday to her. Is today or birthday? Yesterday.

Yesterday. But I was just like, I missed it. I missed it. I didn't realize she was born. My wife's, my wife's, my daughter's birthday. Was yesterday the 27th? My brothers is today. My father-in-law is today.

But, like, that was, that was the most fun time from Toad Hop into that after Buzz House was the most fun time that I ever had with the crew. TOTOP was probably, TOTOP was fresh. I like that area, like the morning radio thing about it. That was my favorite. Your thing you've ever done was the TOTOX? No, this is my favorite. Big thing is easily, easily my favorite.

Ellis gave me some shit. He's like, you always say that. I was like, I say it when I'm having a lot of fun that you can progress into what I wanted. You didn't ever say that about Clyder Live. What I said about Clyder Live was that it felt the most to me like the towed up conversations, which it did at times, like because of the setup that we're in. But the most fun, most relaxed, no stress that I've had, doing a show has been this show. Do you like not going into a, this is a studio, but it's yours, do you like not traveling far to a studio?

I mean, I definitely, I'm not going to lie that when Fernandez and I had that conversation, about it was this was the end my first thought was not oh what am i going to do now it was i don't have to drive to burbanking right it's my first thought yeah i kind of miss i i don't miss driving an hour and a half in the mornings but i do shocker i do miss uh going somewhere it just feels like so bizarre to every day wake up and then like go into my studio and then you feel i mean you also live with people so you're not as isolated but it does feel so isolated when like it's just digital all digital not going anywhere so no i definitely want to get back into it like a studio i think i think that that'll add to it and i i'm gonna actually i've been working with

that about revamping this smart studio he's the got to talk to you have a lot of space here yeah so i want to i want to i want to change i want to get rid of this table i want to go more so like a podcasting where i can set you guys up and we get like a wide shot so everybody can see the wide shot and i want to revamp the whole thing where it's it's a it's more of a podcast friendly thing that means we're invited back yeah definitely but we're also but but we're also going to do um He's been back already. I did it. But we're also going to be, you know, getting a studio.

And then because I want the thing, the hard part is like we had Katie Sackoff on, right? And she was in studio. I haven't talked to her in so long. Last time I saw it was the Halloween Horn Night. She's crushing it right now. Yeah. Yeah, she's crushing it. Murder.

Between Mandalorian and then she's got another life that season two is coming out. Season two, right? It's coming on like right a couple weeks. But we had her in studio. But I had CM Punk on, but that I did digital, right? So I it's hard. Hey, come to my garage. I'm not Mark Marin, but I'm not Mark Marin.

But still, because Mark Marin broke the mold, people will come to garage. People will do it. I mean, look, if I reached out to the publicist and stuff too, but it's also the difference with Mark Marin. Mark Maron probably has a bathroom built in the backside too. You got to, you might run into my dog. You might run into my... Oh, can I see the dog after this?

You should be able to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and then I got to take him out for a dump anyway. So, so, yeah, probably be able to. But anyway. Do you don't like dogs? They're fine. Yes.

No, I think I had dogs. Sometimes I forget my dogs. They're fine. I like some dogs. Yeah. Your dog seems cool because he dude. He is,

but yeah, well, he ripped up my, my, my father-in-law's ear yesterday. What do you mean? He's got little sharp baby teeth. And he's ripped up his ear?

Look, come at you. My father-in-law held him. You never seen his father-in-law? He's got a big fake ear because he lost it. Sorry. Is it not true? No.

Bah! I stepped on it. I stepped on that. Thanks, Riley. It was good, though. Wait, he's got in here? No, it was good. It was good.

It was good. As I was laughing, I was like, I didn't sell that. Okay. But that what you got me on it? Are you there? This is, so there's a, there's a one of the GPA fans. She's been a fan of the afternoon for a long time. Her name is Jesse Roach.

Okay. So Ken and I have this running joke that she was a pop star in the 90s. Jesse Roach. She did all the mall after Tiffany, right? And so every time I have somebody on, they're like, wait, I don't think I know her songs. And I'll be like, oh, you don't. don't know my like nighttime boyfriend and like no how's it go i'm like nighttime boyfriend and they're like that song's like okay and i don't know but people love that song it's like why haven't i never

heard of that song yeah and they keep no i got kate mullet and going for like 15 minutes she's easy to trick yeah i know her i love detacia was like i think i know her songs like she went with it i was like yep she doesn't exist yeah she she she she's like a prank kate's easy to prank i was going to have kate because katy and i have pranked a ton of people together and i was going to prank kate with her but then And at the time, I was like, yeah, I might not work out the way that one or two. But she's gullible. Yeah. Not as gullible as you, but she's gullible.

Yeah. You set a standard. We used to get you a lot on Clarede Live. Yeah. It was good. I missed the songs. I missed the songs on Claredea Live. I do David B.

I'm not live. Oh, right. So we don't do, like, and there's certain things. And there's also ways, like, certain songs. Plus you're kind of technically, not, I don't think this wrong way. You're technically hamstrung over here because you can only do so much. I'm, don't take that the wrong way at all. It's factual.

It's on. Because I don't have an engineer. I don't have Cody. I don't have. What's that? Like your hands are tied? No, Hamstrung.

You're hamstrung. I don't know. I didn't make it up. Oh, it's a thing. It's a thing. Yeah. You're technically hamstrung.

Hey, before we leave, I want to talk about some TV. Okay. This is TV. And it has to go with Sopranos. Go ahead. Okay. So there's a Netflix series. It's a docu series.

It's called Untold. And it's about sports. And it's a 9-11. Oh. Ken was talking about the 9-11 one. I haven't seen that one yet. But untold is sports, it's like a freed thing, but it's not freed. And Fried and I were straight talking about it.

He's like, I'm so upset because he wanted to do a Malice in the Palace doc and ESPN wouldn't buy us back in the day. Malice in the palace, Ron, our test ran into the crowd with a beat up fans in Detroit. Okay. Untold did that one. They did a Caitlin Jenner one, which I thought the Caitlin Jenner one was unbelievable. But they also just released this one and you would get the shit of it because it's about a trash mafia dude. Oh, I did you see this? Yeah.

It's like, gives his son a hockey team. Yes, I heard about it. They said it's straight up soprano. He has a thing that says to the real Tony Soprano, James Gandalfini, and he signed a thing for him. And it's about this mafia boss that gave his 17-year-old son a minor league hockey team, and he turned it into literally wrestling. He turned it into professional wrestling and hockey.

Yeah, see, that's, that's, that's cool. I'm watching, I'm watching Sopranos right now. I'm in the end of season six. Oh, well, you're almost at the end. I'm almost at the end. And it's the one where, AJ, is, AJ is my least favorite character, by the way. He's the worst.

Yeah, I thought Janice was, but AJ is my least favorite. It goes, it, yeah, but. AJ and Janice are very tired. But when I was talking about, yes. Because AJ's just such a, he's, he's just, he's just such a douche. Yeah, and never worked again. No, and, well, no, I don't mean that the actor. Oh, no, but like, when you, when you are seen as Anthony Jr., it's hard to see it.

But the character, the character, the character, I thought Robert Lear, Liler, that he did such a, he did a great job as AJ. 100%. I just hate the character of AJ. Listen, the kid who played Joffrey's never going to work again either. He's popped up here and there. Has he? I thought so.

But either way. Either way, they were going to say that, but the character of A.J. Soprano at this point is trying, he's like, I want to run a club. And he's like, maybe we should buy him a club. And Carmel's like, are you out of your fucking mind? He's like, what do you know? This kid's got no responsibility. He's not even the legal drinking age.

Yes. And it's like, it's rewatching the series, it's a thousand times better than it was when I watched it the first time. Really? Because what I've been telling people, the blue in the face was that when you were watching it back in the day and you watched season four, you had to wait about two years before you got season five. I had to wait 24 hours before I watched, you know, the next episode. And everything's time in between soprano. Yes, but everything's fresh. And everything's fresh in your brain as opposed to, oh, wait, what happened two years ago?

As opposed to, oh, that just happened and all this stuff like with the dream stuff, stuff that I thought I didn't like back when I watched it originally. working. Working so well. I wonder how the finale is going to play for you this time around. I think it's going to play very well because I've, when I saw the finale, because I've read so many things. The first time I saw the finale,

hated it. Then after watching and understanding everything with David Chase, the puzzle pieces he was putting in, like, I don't care how vague he does. Tony fucking is dead. He's dead. He's dead.

They set it up throughout the entire season. One thousand per se. He told you. He told you, the members only jacket, the stuff that has been in there. The two guys at the bar from season one? He's telling you everything.

Everything that he's set up from the, he's telling you what happened. He's just never going to admit it. But anyway, other television, Ozark was the... They just saw the trailer. They got to watch the trailer. I haven't watched a trailer yet too because I want to wait for...

Did you watch the trailer? No, this was a part of the... This was part of Tadum. You guys watched Tadum or no? No, what's that? That was Netflix's based on fronts. It's called Tadum because that's the sound that it makes when you turn on Netflix.

T-D-U-D-U-M. And so they dropped all the stuff that's coming out. I didn't know that Ozark did a trailer. I think there was like a little teaser. Maybe that's what it was. Because I saw Cobra Kai and I saw Stranger Things. And they also picked up sex education for season four,

which I'm so excited. Some finished season three yet. It's so good. It's a great show. It's really good. It's really good. And also red letter notice or whatever that thing is in the Merrill Street movie too.

They dropped a lot of stuff for this. And people seem really excited about Ozart. Have we heard anything on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season four? But that's it. That's on Netflix. I know, but I'm just saying TV, like a TV that I love. But I want to talk about that in a second. Right?

Yeah, but all the Netflix stuff that dropped. Like Ozark was the one, I didn't see a trailer for it. I did see. I watched Coburkeye. I looked great. I saw Stranger Things. Very excited for that one. Stranger Things is something, I mean, I did a whole episode the other day about those two things in particular.

And I talked about the thing. What, Kobe Kai and Stranger Things? And Stranger Things to me, unlike what we were just talking about, Sopranos actually I think benefits from long delays because they play as like these movies so like two years three years later it's just another part it's just like another movie and it's like okay now this is the kids and it plays into the fact you don't have to rely on them being on the same age they're two three years older sure and and now that it's like this haunted house that they have to their investigators though the kids it's almost plays like they're hitting puberty

and so it's like a little more yeah it's like a scooby-do episode really too i i think season four looks great for stranger things It does look good, but I'm curious how invested I'm going to be. Like, the first minute of that trailer was people that we don't know, house that we don't know. So I'm wondering how they're going to do it. Like at the end of season two, not knowing what was going into season three with David Harbour's character.

Right. You mean the end of season three? End of season three. Going into season three. Like last time, our last cliffhanger, not this cliff hangar. The cliffhanger from season two into season three, I was so excited for season three. Going into season four, I'm like, I don't know what this is going to be. There's nothing that's like dragging me through,

but they haven't met. up so far. And is David Harbor been in Russia the whole time? Like, we still don't know. We don't know. We would think, right? We would think, like two years later, three years later, was he still there? We don't know.

That's what we're going to find. Cobra Kai looks exactly like I wanted to. And that is such a great progression of where you want those characters to be now working with each other. I mean, we've said it since the very beginning. And we went from Collider Live when we first started watching the show is, love that show. It shouldn't work.

Me too. I was like, Kaibokai, yeah, I know. Oh, right, man.

I went to Roxy there for a second. Love you. The best show on the YouTube. I love. Cobra Kai should not work as well as it does. Like,

it has no business being that effing good. And the fact that none of them have been nominated is, it just goes to show you that to get an Emmy, you have to pay. Oh, Martin Kove is on Dance with the Star. I know. I hear he's not very good.

No, but that's what Sadie said. Who cares? Sadie last night, Martin Cove was there, and she's like, he's horrible. I go, he's 76 years old. He's old. He's fucking old.

She's like, yeah, but he's getting a rhythm. I'm like, he's an old man. Yeah. Leave him the fuck alone. He's out of breaking his fucking balls. And he's like, I'm like, plus the fact. And he's, and he's, I saw, I think he might have got eliminated last night. And he's next to this other guy.

I have no idea of this person. As I go, she's like, how does he even get on the show? He was he on a hit television show. He's on Cobra Kai. Talk about a career. Sense of Green Renaissance. Yeah. Yeah.

And now we're going to get, what's his name back? Terry Silver. A lot of people didn't like this past season because they thought it was too, like, fantastical or just... I think season two was like that, though. I know. I really dug it. They had a school brawl.

Once... A Roddy school bro. I was ready for like, boom. Yeah. Season one was more, a little more level inside of... And then once he got to two, you realize, that's what this is. Yeah, but are you upset, though? That's the big question.

No. He didn't even get a fucking subway endorsement in Rock. It's unbelievable. Anything. Nothing. He was, he was the, he beat communism. Nothing. He could have been the diplomat.

He could have been a, he could have, I miss it so much. Somebody, somebody could have literally paid him anything to do anything. He could have put on a robe and said, buy these robes. A real estate agent could have been like, hey, can you live in this house for the next five years in this neighborhood that I need to sell all the houses? You can live next to Rocky. Said nothing. No, he's got to move back to South Philly. No.

Couldn't have sold rocks. Rocky's rocks. sense to me. Rocky's rocks. It's unbelievable. Kick rocks. Anyway, I call you Rocky by accident a lot of times. People have been doing it all your life.

Did you watch any Why the Last Man yet? No. Love. That I have watched. Really? You don't, yeah, do you know what? Because it's my fucking graphic novel that I love. Oh, man.

I love. And I like this show. It's really, I'm about two episodes in. I got to finish it. There's only four out. Okay, I'm going to get. And there's only nine total, I think? Total.

Yeah. So it's, it's really, it was my favorite graphic novel. I wanted to do, I wanted to be doing, is it doing all right? I think it's doing it. Good, good, because I really, I was very excited. You know, Shia LaBoof was supposed to play. I know, in a movie, right? Yeah, in the movie, but I'm glad they turned it into a series.

But, all right, so that, the murder mystery thing, what's it called? Midnight Mass? No, I heard that's good, too. Oh, only murders in the building. Midnight Mass is awesome. Which one's the Mike Flanagan one? Oh, oh, yeah. He did Haunting Hill House, haunting Clynardner.

Yeah, you'll be way too scared. It's scary. Speaking of scary, the first time in history that I've, like, jumped out of my chair, or Walking Dead was this past Sunday. I'm one behind. Oh, my God. I'm one behind. I love that you're at you.

We know to watch it's the end now, Christian. We love walking death. It's so good. It's back to being good. Whether you're on Skybound or not. Yes. How could I bench? It's 11 seasons.

That's true. Have you been watching since the beginning? Yes. It's great. And I love it. Yeah. There's something in me and I don't know what it is, but I love post-apocalyptic content.

I love. I love always. I'm super into it. That we're not, that I'm not watching. The murder one, the murder is in the building, whatever.

So my brother told me about it, loves it. People love that show. Steve Martin. Josh recommended it to me two days ago, and now I'm six episodes in it. It's really good.

Billions is seasonality next week. Billions is solid. Succession's coming back. On the 17th. Yeah. I didn't love White Lotus like everybody else did. I couldn't get through nine perfect strangers. I loved White Lotus.

It's so good. What are you guys thinking about Tiger King II? coming in November. Are you guys going to watch? How are they going to do it, though? Isn't Joe Exotic in jail? Yeah. You're going to just have them in jail the whole time?

No, no. They said they've only scratched the surface. Stupid. That's their tagline. This is why. I mean, I've seen so many from the Ryder Cup and watching it all weekend and always watching golf.

I see one more trailer for LaBreya. I'm going to lose my mind. It's land of the lost with a hotter cast. Okay. But it's on network to television. You guys watch Shmigadoon? Shmigadoon. Dune is brilliant.

I try, dude. And like, I'm telling you, this is like, so you probably understand this a little bit more. You know I hate music. You have your room. The thing is that, like I've mentioned it's many times over. The way it works for me is I do this all day long. Wife's with the kids doing stuff she's going to do.

And then when I come in, I help dinner. I don't think she would like Schmikadoon. She didn't? No. So the problem is we have, we've got like two or three hours together. Yeah. And we spend that time trying to find shit we're going to like together. and if it doesn't

if one of us doesn't like it which is normally her it goes off and people go why don't you just go in the other room it's like my only time to spend with her why am I gonna you know so like tonight I know you've been watching it we're gonna fuck it she's probably gonna watch Bachelor

in Paradise and finish it up right so that's so I'm so in this season it's a great I never watch Paradise Paradise is the one but Paradise is a good car crash you'd actually wind up enjoying it I've tried I've tried so many times Yeah I just can't do it I just I need one person

some of them chasing that one person. You know what I mean? I can't do all. You can't do it. See, I would much rather watch the car crash that is this thing. But I use it as an excuse to slam down cheese doodles. What are you watching Ted Lassow then or no?

Again, she bailed on that one too. She bailed on Ted Lassow. Mytha Quest? On Mytha Quest? She's watching so good. Great. So she's watching, oh, my wife's answer to Mystic Quest when he looks was fuck no.

It is nerdy. It is nerdy. You know what's coming? now on Peacock. What's that? McGrubber, the TV show. I don't think you're going to sell that one. But she watches the morning show.

Morning show is great. But she watched for a season without me, and so I'm not. You're behind. You got to catch up. I can sum it up for you real quick. You know what at last? Now, I'm all right. So what she did last night, she's like, you want to do something?

Last night I actually did the whole thing. I was in the middle of Sopranos. She comes out. She's like, you want to watch something? I'm like, yeah, you can go and watch a morning show. I'll go. I have to finish the Sopranos. I've been watching it for the last fucking two and three months.

I have to fucking finish it. I want to try to finish it before I get to the movie. I don't know if I'm going to. How many, there's, there's what, 13 episodes in six and then six and seven? Yeah, six or maybe seven, between six and seven. I don't remember at all. But there's seven seasons. Seven seasons.

I'm going to have to watch a refresher. I haven't touched Sopranos in years. I'm midway through season three. The reason why I think it's, Amanda will watch it with me. She's like, did she watch the pilot? She watched the pilot. And she thought the opening scene of the pilot, when he runs the guy down and beats his leg,

she says, there's too much for her. She got to watch the family stuff. I know. And she just. Yeah, but if that's too much for her, that is throughout the whole show. It is throughout the whole thing. It doesn't go away.

I just don't think this is Amanda's show. And I keep trying to push it on her. I keep trying to push her wire on her. I keep trying to push a prano's on it. If she wasn't like a soprano, she ain't going to like the wire. She loves true crime. But, yeah.

The only murders in the building. Here's the thing is, like, her family doesn't like mafia stuff. And my family loves mafia stuff. Well, that's why I'm so excited. What I hope to see from many saints and newer. For Carmel. Makes sense.

Many scenes and newer, I hope to see a prequel series come out of this time. I don't know if it'll happen. Are you guys seeing the reviews? It's like mixed, right? People are, it's got, I think, like, an 80 on Rotten Tomatoes, and people are saying that it is, that it's serviceable and not going to make you angry. So, like, that it's good enough. All right.

Which, like, I'm excited about. We should get, I would think we would get a, a prequel series. I hope so. I would hope. Right. And then I would love to see what like what Sopranos looks like now, like what they would do now. Because Tony's obviously dead.

We don't. So who do you want in it? Well, you would want a new. Oh, see, I'd want a prequel series. No, no, I want the prequel series. But I want something 20 years later. Like Tony died of natural causes. Who do you want to stand around?

Tony has shot. I mean natural causes. No, but I'm just saying like if they don't want to ruin the finale of the actual sopranos. Oh, yeah, I think, I think that... Because maybe they could never do that. Doing it 20 years later, probably never going to happen, right? Because exactly what you're saying.

They're going to have to let you know what happened. Maybe they don't. But I think, though, by doing... But if you set these characters up and you care enough and having young Silvio, young Pauly and all them, that's what I'm worried about, because Sylvio is my favorite. Silvio's the best. So you've got to see. It figures out are you going to do it.

Is it going to be an impression? It's going to be for real. And I want to, like, that's what I'm worried about. I'm worried about somebody doing that. that the whole time. And he's like young Sylvia, I don't know. And because he's fun.

But Corey Stoll sitting at that dinner table with junior's glasses on it. Great. Yeah. So the reason why I would suggest is Riley was asking about it, like, should you do a rewatch? Or should you, he's never seen Sopranos. So should you watch it the first time.

I was like, you should because I've already picked up so much shit from the rewatch of stuff that they're going to touch on in this one, although they do fuck up something in a timeline already. Because they say that Christopher Maltesanti and Tony are nine years apart in. throughout the series, throughout, you know, if you go to like Wikipedia pages. And Tony's like 20. Well, he's like 16.

And when they show him in that. Yeah, when Christopher comes out as a baby. And he's like 16. So they scoot it away from that. Christopher. Yeah. That's, Adriana, that death is fucking heartbreaking. And I'll tell you why it is.

I think it might be the most hard to take. Yeah. There's a lot of heartbreaking. TV history. Do you know why? Because when you first originally see it and you remember it, okay, it's when she goes, but she didn't get the feds nothing. Nothing.

She gave him nothing and she wanted and she was trying to get Christopher out. And still. And still to the end of it. And then that fucking heartbreaking scene of when she's envisioning herself getting out and then turns in there still. It's like, oh, I mean, devastating. Talk about how, why, how David Chase makes TV like that. Because you think. Well, but do you know what was supposed to happen?

happen though? No. Like, so I think it happens maybe in season six or season seven because I haven't gotten to it yet. But they show, they go back and they show Christopher asking Tony, telling Tony about Adriana being, like, talking to the feds. Yeah. That was shot for the episode, but it was, give me the actress for Adriana.

Yeah. D. Mateo. Thank you. So D. Mateo came to David Chase, came to David Chase and said, slow it on TV, baby. That's right. She came to David Chase and said, you can't show this.

It's going to give away the reveal that she doesn't get out. She convinced David Chase to put it to cut the scene. Then he wound up using it and whether it was maybe seasons. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the episode of Christopher. Yeah. So anyway. You know what the Sopranos almost invented? And I don't, they probably didn't invent it.

Good streaming television. Yeah. They invented the bottle episode almost to perfection. Yeah. Right? Because everybody since then has been stealing a bottle episode like once per series. Explain to people a bottle episode. So a bottle episode is something that, let's just say,

there's a main huge plot point that we got a cliffhanger. Right. And the next episode has nothing to do with that and nothing to do with the series really. And it's, and it's, I mean, it has something to do with the series, obviously. But it's its own little mini movie. Right. A bottle episode usually takes place in one or two locations. Yeah.

And is a story that is more centralized to one specific thing. It's happening. Pine Barrens is the bottle episode. TVs use it, series use it so that they can save money for other episodes down the line because it doesn't cost them as much. Usually it's on a set that's already built with just a smaller group of people. The Fly episode in Breaking Bad.

It's one of my favorites. Yeah. The dream episode in Sopranos when Tony gets shot and that whole episode after he gets shot is him in the dream sequence. Kevin Fennernerner than whatever is. Finnerty? Finnerty. Yeah. I just watched that episode, so it was very fresh in my memory.

Like Ted Lassau just did a bottle episode with Coach Beard and BoJack Horseman did one of the most amazing ones where he's underwater. Remember the underwater BoJack Horseman? I haven't seen all BoJack. So like these bottle episodes, like I would love to get, you know, like somebody at Vulture or Vox or somebody that did like ranked or just gave us all of the bottle episodes we've ever seen. Well, I mean, I think they definitely do a lot in the Sopranos for sure. 100%. A few different dream episodes. I mean, the one that you're talking about

is almost not even an necessarily dream. It's like him crossing over to the afterlife. Right. But there is a full dream one that he does do when he wakes up and Carmine, Carmine Lepatasi is in the bed. And then he has this full dream. And then Gloria is the Dr. Melfie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a crazy one. It's crazy. Anyway, there's so much more we can talk about. I know you don't want me to do this, Roxy, but I think we've got to wrap the show here today. But there's so much to do. There's so much to do, and there's so much you guys are doing so much.

Please tell people about World Girls and what you're doing at World Girls so they know. Yeah, World Girls on Wednesdays and Sundays. We give everything a whirl. Actually, if you're watching this today, Josh is coming on tonight. Yeah, yeah. We're showing our Domino's episode where we attempted Domino's building something. No, we tried to build this. It's really a heartbreaking episode.

It's a really tough one. And then Josh's going to be on for that. And then for those of you guys who don't know, I was gone for a little bit. shooting a movie. Oh, when's that coming out? We don't have the date yet, but I'm putting on everybody's radar that it, hopefully they will be able to see it in 2020. Amazing.

Are we going to see a trailer sometimes? I'll keep you guys posted on everything. What's it called again? Always Lola. Always Lola. Yeah. Awesome. Tell the people.

Like when I'd say, I'm going for coffee. Of course I was walking. But now it's like three miles and no latte is worth that.

I find myself inviting people on walks with me like it's a scheduled activity. This morning, my neighbor asked me what I'm doing, and I actually said I'm going for a walk with Nancy. Anyway, when you save with Progressive by mumbling your home at Auto, that's the easy part of adjusting to the suburbs.
