Starting point is 00:02:22 that'll be our immediate review raw uncut here we go All right. Well, Chuckles McGee. You know, some things just work. Little moments come together, and I'm like, ah, it's fun or clever, or I wasn't expecting that. And those things get a chuckle from me.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Editors. I'm amused. Keep every time John chuckled. We're going to play. We should have a bit. a head count. Sure. John smile.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Yeah. We'll have a little counter. Yeah. That's just one of the ways I react to stuff. At times I don't understand. You don't have to understand. Although if it's rough, I'll stop doing it. I guess I'll focus in and be very self-aware enough not to do it.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I don't understand what's funny or amusing about it. It's not always that it's funny. Sometimes it's clever. and sometimes those clever moments stand out because this is a show filled with beauty and filled with a lot of clear craftsmanship and skill. Sometimes it's during really dark moments. That's what I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Yeah, every now to get a dark moment will still strike me with something clever or a tonal twist I wasn't expecting or something and that'll just, I don't know. Because then I'm like, nice, nice one. nice one, people behind the camera, or whatever it happens, whatever context that I'm clever chuckling in. Clever chuckling?
Starting point is 00:04:05 I guess that's what I would boil it down to. I mean, you know, it's not a, there's no uniform description for it. It happens under a lot of different circumstances. But yes, if I'm, if I chuckle during a moment that isn't clearly a joke moment, it's usually, oh, there's like a weird little detail that, you know, called me toward the movie magic or called me toward, you know, You know, just like some neat twist that I wasn't expecting behind the camera. It's the best I could describe that.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Can you mean an example? From this episode? Yeah. I don't remember. I don't log them. They're natural enough to me that I, you've noticed them more directly than I have. I'm not challenging you to anything. I'm literally just asking.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I'll think of one while we go. wrong boom point proof that's how we used to argue you don't have a concrete example for the thing you weren't doing consciously like any good relationship fight logical rings around you sir
Starting point is 00:05:14 name one time I'll go back through the rear this but here's the thing is we have the footage so I'll go back and review the footage and then I'll get back to you with all them I'll sync it up and I'll do the watch a lot. And I'll be like, here's one.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Okay, that was like, I John, I already forgot about this conversation. No, I have 16 distinct moments. Way over this. Where I did. That was clever because of this. I thought that was neat because of that.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I'll stop caring about this conversation in like five seconds. So that's the difference between you and me is because, yeah, then I'll take that home and be like, oh, no, I got to, I got to analyze this for myself and figure it. I don't care enough about this. Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:05:56 so what do you what do you think i thought take it away i thought this was these i don't know maybe i maybe i have those clever laughs because of the odd experience this has been so far because there's stuff i really like about the show and let me interrupt too you don't have to explain it i'm just teasing you i don't have to explain anything to me like no but i i'm using it as a segue now i'm using it as a segue because i some shows and certain things make me do that more than others. And this show has an interesting blend, because I'm inclined to want to meet the show halfway. You know, I'm always rooting for a good Lord of the Rings universe, anything, despite trepidations. I wanted the Hobbit movies to be unanimously agreeable. And this has, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:43 a lot of things I appreciate, and it does have moments of warmth or intimacy that draw me in. But it is, to me right now, just here in this moment, and maybe with more consideration I'll feel different but you know it feels like it's a slow unfolding and it's sort of like it always feels like it's ramping up towards something big and and some kind of i always feel like um it's like a song that that never breaks into some kind of cathartic chorus quite where it's like okay i'm interested in everybody and i kind of i almost feel it's you could have uh i could spend more time and cut between less things per episode because I just want to see the life
Starting point is 00:07:28 between these... You commented when the one elf died during the fight and that's clearly supposed to be an impactful emotional moment and I was in that moment but I wasn't caught up and emotionally wrenched because yeah, like I liked those three actors
Starting point is 00:07:46 together and I liked the actor who you know had just, you know, bit it but you know, we don't get the time spent in this situation beyond okay here's what it's like getting into the slave camp now here's what it's like just doing the activity and now we got to you know figure out a way out of it and now here's a big confrontation you know I feel like if we could spend a little more time that would help but yeah like I'm interested in everything it's just not yet got that like the pace is moving and everything's kind of
Starting point is 00:08:20 locking together and complimenting each other. It just feels like we're checking in on different points of a big white map. Are you... Okay. Are you enjoying it? Yes. Yeah. I'm not loving it yet.
Starting point is 00:08:39 There's a lot of stuff I enjoy, admire, and appreciate. There's stuff I do want more of or, you know, want to become more substantial. It's not perfect. I don't love it yet. but there's a lot I really like about it. Okay. I'm happy for you. I mean, you're laughing your fucking ass off
Starting point is 00:08:59 because of the fact of how much you enjoy this. That's right. I'm just like, give me more. This is absolutely perfect to give it to me. I just, yeah, that's my shit eating and grin. When I love something, I just only laugh. No, I mean. there's a lot of people who are really enjoying the show i'm really happy for you guys i guess it's
Starting point is 00:09:27 like a two out of three for me i like i like the second episode much more than the first and then this was right back to the first episode for me okay and uh in all regards um i don't care that i'm a little sleep deprived i've enjoyed many many many things this channel very sleep deprived it there's nothing to do with it as a matter of fact i'm still pretty awake and uh i looked at every second of this screen i give my focus so if you're someone who i really don't know how accurate this is to tolkien lore incredibly from what i've read and i don't care if it is or isn't i really don't yep I can't stomach the thought.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Go on. I mean, you're just a lot more forgiving than me and more patient. Sure. I've been on set. So I'm trying to be compassionate here. But I'm also going to be really honest. Sure. I've been on set for a I was reminded the reason the back girl cancellation of so much was because of my experience that I actually had on set recently as after the back girl experience is that just it was a reminder that like wow to shoot just a few seconds of a film of a show or a film or something like with a full on crew and I can imagine it's it's way harder for this show.
Starting point is 00:11:18 than what I got to be privy to for a pretty decent-sized show. It can take like 20 to 30 minutes on average just to capture a few seconds. Sometimes it takes up to an hour. I can imagine on this show with the level of thought and production that it must have taken forever to shoot an episode. Like countless people, these people credited, these are all these people. working so hard and it takes so long to put one of these together it's a lot of labor so it sucks when i'm like you know what though the i think the writing of this show for the most part is not good and that's why his script is so important because you're going to get like all these people
Starting point is 00:12:12 together to bring this script to life and if the script's not good man that could be uh that could be really boring and you really feel like it's a waste of time for a lot of people so so you can sit here and i appreciate your patience i do like i appreciate that i wish i had that mentality of you could sit here and go you know after three hours i'm not loving this but you know i'm liking bits and pieces and i'm still waiting i'm still like no no for me three hours i should love something about this by now and i really don't i just don't and uh yeah you can't you can't deny the fact that that's like one lord of the rings movie right there three hours that's no it's one hobbit movie and and after three hours of that i don't and and the amount of cutting around of characters
Starting point is 00:13:08 i just find myself slowly slumping and just trying to care and getting bored and i just really bored. I was very bored at this episode, other than the occasional cool. The one thing this show has surprised me on is the violence. They kind of push the violence a little more than I expected them to, which is cool. Always go
Starting point is 00:13:34 for a little bit of juicy violence. And I did notice that the one per two people we did not check in, one were the two I enjoy the most. There's nothing. Ron and Durenne at all in his episode. I like Nari. I like her.
Starting point is 00:13:55 And there are pleasantries. It's kind of predictable how it played out. This guy from whatever Southland is. Is he from the token universe? Is he a, because it just sounds, seems like ericorne on repeat it's almost exactly in a lot of ways
Starting point is 00:14:22 erigorn on repeat just far less compelling and way more cliche it's yeah it's weird how this has had so much time to do what it's doing and yet it doesn't feel like it's really taking its time
Starting point is 00:14:36 but it doesn't also feel like it's getting that much done in the amount of time and there's like you look at those original Lord of the Rings movies and I mean, you know, everyone's going to keep harping that. But it's true. Like, with less time, they manage to give you the right amount of scenes that allow the characters to bond, you to bond with them, you to care, and you to get invested in all these different things so that it feels like a big living world rather than like, oh, yeah, that's right. There's this character.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And they're doing that. And there's all these, it's weird. They have all these guideposts and things to foreshadow and I feel like that that does kind of kneecap them in a way because it's painting it's it feels like it could easily paint itself into a corner of you just being the same it's like the fantastic beasts movies have sort of fallen into this trap of like i don't know we got to have a new Voldemort and a new kind of Voldemorty thing to do and we got to kind of force this new thing to be the thing everybody knows and I'm afraid that that's essentially what's going to happen here because I don't know you're not wrong it's weird like i don't disagree with much that you're saying and my biggest
Starting point is 00:15:46 worry surrounding the entire show was like great awesome i know amazon can make a show that looks good but uh the scripts have to be great and no they're not great like there are moments of dialogue that i find pleasant or whatever but yeah like brass tacks it's not great right now and it's unfortunate to have house of the dragon right across the street because they excel like if they just if I don't want to necessarily say that Lord of the Rings needs to just be Game of Thrones far from that but they could learn a thing or two from how they choose to yeah compliment the plot with actual character tones that really show the sort of complexity of actually living in this world I feel like the magic of bringing Tolkien to
Starting point is 00:16:30 life is that we get to live in the world rather than yeah feeling like we're just doing a bunch of plot beats and stuff and kind of pointing and going oh yeah sauron he's coming he'll be here i think it i think it uh it's focus as as much as they try to simplify a focus which is the rise of sauron and how these people have come together will come together to defeat the common enemy to fight him to cut off his cut the ring off his finger and cut his finger off and then it's sealed or not throw it into the flames
Starting point is 00:17:08 of Mordor. Yeah, I, sure, like, I can find that linear path, but it's, it really feels like it lacks a pulse. It feels like it,
Starting point is 00:17:22 it lacks stakes, surprisingly. It feels like it, it's not exciting. It's, it's not, uh, the stakes don't feel real,
Starting point is 00:17:31 because, even like the orc camp feels really detached from everything yes the orc camp does feel detached from everything and the and the characters are um very planned i think they're very they don't give them much life the harfoot's the most you get of life in this episode is the harfoot's having their memorial thing i felt like nor are he's just repeated the same monologues you know it's like uh it's very it's like i feel like you kind of just said a lot of the same things you said in the last episode when i really liked you in the last episode i get it it's out in the open about your secret giant so then you have got to repeat
Starting point is 00:18:15 some of the shit now to your mom and stuff like i understand um and yeah they're they're doing a lot of world building but i'm like for christ's sake for three episodes of of of like nothing felt more human more connective than during being being hurt by elron for not checking in on him like that connected yeah and then they have or a mother protecting her son from an orc invading their home like yeah that that that that that that that hits and then here i'm just just like watching people display information to me well yeah and there's also i I think I've come to start associating this version of Lord of the Rings with the big wide shot that never compensates with doing a POV then. We enter Newmanore, like the storied city of Newmanore, and we mostly, you know, like there's great production value there that you can't appreciate, but they don't, it's like when you're in Lord of the Rings, what's so great about having the hobbits at the center is they do give you that ground level perspective to be like, wow, this is a truly extraordinary array of places and circumstances. And I feel like we get too many bird's eye views and not enough ground level views on these things. And that is both in a construction way, but also definitely in a character kind of way. It's like, yeah, with Nori this episode, pretty much all we developed was, oh, yeah, everybody finds out about the giant. And I guess that's going to be fine and we're going to keep him.
Starting point is 00:19:54 And now we're moving on. Yeah. Guy gets pulled into this orc camp, and then he stages a 300 fight. And I enjoy Galadriel in the first episode. so even though i thought that episode was like uh i i did say like i i really enjoyed what the what the actress is doing and then here i'm like okay now you just seem kind of one monotone so i i i'm just i'm just a little bit like come on guys you're and i know and i know i i'm just a little bit like come on guys you're and i know i I'm not the voice of the majority, or I don't know what the hell the majority.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Honestly, I don't know what the majority is with the show. I don't know what the majority is. Seems hard to pin a majority because there's everything. Yeah, I know I'm a part of a certain camp that is not the screw-woke culture camp. I'm just part of the camp that's like, honestly, I think the show is just a pretty disappointing in a lot of ways and kind of boring. and it should be more, I think it's got to be, I just don't care about a lot of the things that are happening. I really thought we were on an upswing
Starting point is 00:21:14 after the second episode for me. I thought we were. And I could be, I could be mine, like I'm watching this before, we're watching this before any opinions have been released yet. So for all we know, I could turn on social media and be like, wow everyone thought this was the best one whoopsie but i'll be honest with you this was this was
Starting point is 00:21:41 like this did nothing for it just it just got more new more characters more information and and it's it's lacking this this very strong directional it's like think about this uh the i mean if you do think about like lord of the ring i saw some people who who went like You know, I watch the Hobbit trilogy before going into this, and I got to say, this is better. And, okay, that's, that's cool. If that is the thing you're just going to compare it to, sure. Do I want to commit to watching a show?
Starting point is 00:22:22 Which is going to be longer than the Hobbit trilogy. It's, if you look at like Lord of the Rings, it's something like pretty simple to latch onto a character gets a ring and is now thrust it onto a life or death adventure where they're going to uncover information as they go and the ensemble grows the more information they uncover yeah it's not a fellowship until like two-thirds of the movie in and you're not cutting to a million things by that point yeah and then here we're just cutting around to a bunch and they keep treating it with this stoic gravitas and that it's the like the most life impending doom stakes in the world when I weirdly feel like it's just not that well it's not as if you're going to go stoic and heavy yeah gravitas all the time you have to back it up with some depth and some, I don't know, real themes.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Not that they don't have themes, but you've got to be able to really put the themes in there and to really make the characters feel vital so that that gravitas attaches itself to the shit that you care about. And if you're detached from it, then yeah, the gravitas is just going to feel like a filter and it's going to feel like it's trying to make up
Starting point is 00:23:51 the lost ground of what the writing isn't actually doing. And it feels master-brative. in its poetic way. Well, it does feel a bit style over subs. It's like watching Shakespeare from somebody who you can tell is practice the lines
Starting point is 00:24:10 but doesn't like fully understand the breadth of how Shakespeare and language works. At times I feel like I'm watching like a cosplay or actors in a museum. It's like watching a play that isn't that's like has impressive bits and pieces
Starting point is 00:24:25 but isn't coalescing in to just the transportive play experience. No, and I think this ought to be. It absolutely ought to be. I mean, if, again, like, for whatever enjoyment I can get from this, if you want to come right down to it, like, yeah, this, for the most expensive show of all time,
Starting point is 00:24:44 based on one of the most beloved pieces of fiction that is inspired so much, the writing has to be great. The writing should be great. So my logic brain is pretty much with you across all of this. Dude, you don't have to agree with me.
Starting point is 00:25:00 No, but it's funny because I wonder what that critical element is because I find this more pleasant to watch and I enjoy my time checking in with this world but logically,
Starting point is 00:25:11 like, yeah, I'm not getting what I was rooting for yet, and even though like Galadriel in this episode for me, there were little glimmers where I was like, oh, there's like a mischief
Starting point is 00:25:23 in your eye and it looks like, oh, maybe there's some, there is some joy under there for certain things and good god i wish we would maybe honed in on those or get a character moment i didn't i i think it's it's tone and pacing is seriously kind of all over the place yeah it is like when she was riding that horse yes i was like what the hell is happening right this this this individual sequence is gorgeous and and ethereal but also it's not motivated well enough by everything around it it's like it's like what i haven't seen
Starting point is 00:26:06 sucker punch but i imagine i'm seeing instead of instead of what i've heard about sucker punch instead of you know zack snider being like shit look how cool i am it's like shit look how poetic i look how deep this nerd shit of mine is that's what i imagine i'm watching it looks cool but it's not just cool it's also important yes um and uh it feels desperate to capture a sense of wonder without it authentically getting there and that's one of my biggest issues with it. Yeah, it makes me sad in that way to zoom out from it because, I mean, this is a big opportunity for all involved. The second episode leaned so much more into horror. It was kind of like, okay, we're leaning into horror and it was kind of a consistent thing throughout it. And there was
Starting point is 00:27:08 a sort of like dark mood. Just my man, by don't know. And then here they were like, all right we're going to go to is that what becomes Gondor oh is that the lineage of I could I or just before Gondor I forget
Starting point is 00:27:27 I would who the fuck cares all right if you've made it to this point in the video I think you're inclined to forgive us a late lapse then we meet the queen I'm like oh here we go another stoic ass carriage and I was like okay cool maybe we'll see
Starting point is 00:27:41 behind closed doors and we'll get like a sense for who this person is though but but no not yet no just another stoic character burdened with per everyone's burdened with purpose everything is just so like actually that is a thought that went off in my head is i i have burdened with glorious purpose i actually had i was like i'm not going to say it because i was like i know i was a sarcastic asshole in the first episode so you know what i'm just going to sit back a little bit more really try to take this in and uh nope not not clicking for me yeah yeah because this is kind of like my hobbit experience you enjoy the desolation of smock yeah well now that's now that's
Starting point is 00:28:30 the thing is is i'm like okay because right now this is kind of it started out you know naturally kind of above the hobbit but it's it they're balanced they're beginning to balance out because while I find certain aspects of this more pleasing than the Hobbit, it's also like I think the Hobbit might have more intermittent moments that actually come together, but I don't
Starting point is 00:28:52 know. We'll see. I'm always rooting for it to get to get to rise to this occasion. But yeah. And I'm fascinated to see what everybody thinks. This should have been strong out the gate.
Starting point is 00:29:08 This should have, no. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, a hundred percent, three hours in and I'm like, come on, guys. Yeah. No, the, the only thing, again, like, it was like they, you have everything and this is what I, what I was dreading the whole time is you're not, you know, far be it from me to tell you how to choose showrunners and how to choose writers, but so far. And three episodes in, yeah, like, this is eight episode series. So, you know, we're a substantial way in. And yeah, that's not heartening. to me and that makes me actually sad
Starting point is 00:29:41 because again like this is what I was dreading and it's funny to watch again Game of Thrones come back and in the same amount of episodes less slightly more time everyone seems really on board with that because they managed to take the sort of
Starting point is 00:29:57 Hobbit movies to the first several Game of Thrones seasons Lord of the Rings that became the later parts of Game of Thrones and actually redeem that and actually deliver on like oh wait this is actually like just as intriguing but just as personal but just as blah blah blah else and I mean you know it's possible it can be done and it doesn't feel like I like I don't know it doesn't feel like they are as focused on getting
Starting point is 00:30:21 into the nitty gritty of what you necessitate by spending yeah eight hours and change in this world you know and like almost a billion dollars and almost a billion dollars and all the resource and that's the scary thing as part of me is like I feel like the most expensive show with moniker is almost a curse, especially if that's what you're known for right out of the gate, because then it's like, well, if this isn't just perfect, then all bets are off. I mean, like, not to say it couldn't get to a second season,
Starting point is 00:30:53 but part of me is like, well, if this isn't great or doesn't get great, you know, a good amount of time, then, I mean, is this going to tank? I don't know how much to believe the people who say, like, there's a lot of Amazon Prime's future tied up in Lord of the Rings, and I'm like, well, while I don't expect them to crumble if this doesn't do well at the same time,
Starting point is 00:31:13 I'm like, I bet this would have an impact if it doesn't overall net do well because, I mean, this seems like a risk even though Lord of the Rings is beloved and in some ways, surefire, this is absolutely a risk they're taking. This seems like more stuff hangs on this than just... Well, it's just not as that interesting, too,
Starting point is 00:31:34 even in the grand scheme of things, we're just going backwards. Yeah. It's like the Hobbit went, you know, they wanted to tie it into Lord of the, like, what happened right before Lord of the Rings with Bilbo? Okay. Now let's go even further back. Well, that's what they've been.
Starting point is 00:31:54 And I'm like, you keep building to this fucking sour on business. Well, that's the, that is a problem. It's like if every freaking Star Wars property, which already has its own terrible case of repetition, kept building to who was the dark Vader come to be and let's
Starting point is 00:32:11 flesh out more details about that situation and I'd rather be like let's hang out with sorrow and that's the that's to me a lot of what
Starting point is 00:32:20 the Hobbit movies missed was in doing that and being like no no no like we got to directly tie this into the Lord of the Rings and really make it
Starting point is 00:32:26 like a huge piece of that puzzle it sucks the thing out of the Hobbit that would have made it a good idea in the first place which is its own story
Starting point is 00:32:36 and yeah it relates down the line but it's not really about that and I feel like this could have chosen to do that again like and I promise every episode I won't do this but you look at House of the Dragon and you're like well you know we're just going back in time and we know a certain amount of things are going to happen
Starting point is 00:32:52 and this could easily become the same shape again just like to me the Fantastic Beast movies have started to do where it's like okay we're going back in time we're going to see a different part of the world but now we kind of got to do the same structure and it's like I feel like you can go back
Starting point is 00:33:07 in a world as rich as this into a middle period and an explorer but this doesn't seem I feel like this should have been a show arguably where the plot and the big Sauron machinations like I wouldn't really want to even hear
Starting point is 00:33:23 about like Sauron every episode until like season three out of five or something you know where I'm like this is gonna be five seasons because yeah right now it does feel like you got your chest checklist of characters who are
Starting point is 00:33:37 regardless of you know context and race and gender swapping or whatever you've got your archetypical Lord of the Rings we recognize characters and dynamics and yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry I'll
Starting point is 00:33:53 I'm sorry I'm not you I don't want to talk about this show this has been weirdly one of the more unfun fun discourses surrounding a show because the thing too is everyone's like got a big kind of extreme feeling and nobody seems unified like it would be simpler if it was just like you know the the
Starting point is 00:34:16 people who want to hate it and then the rest of us but uh nah I mean they're I'm fascinated because each time ever like some people really love it and I'm like I feel more positive towards this obviously than you do but at the same time I'm like I want to see what you what what you see because I don't quite see that and there are people who are like I hate this and it sucks and I'm like well I don't quite see that but I get most places you're coming from sans you know a small percentage of arguments we've already talked to them so I can't wait to go on Twitter this Friday and every Friday for the next five weeks don't worry people hate it and people will love it And then there's the E-23 and then people just will move on.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Sure. We move on in two days. That's that thing? You get to the end of the episode. The Last Jedi. Then you got a few years. Of the debate, yeah. There you go.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Put something like this. I don't know. I don't know. All right. Yes, to a Patriot Day show. Daniel Gallagher. We looked your name up on Urban Dictionary. That way John does not make another pharmacy Scottish joke.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Daniel is a name given to many pharmacists. See? It's in the definition. You're on the right path. But one of the most popular things Daniels are known for are being Scottish. Oh, see? What do you know? It's in your blood.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Kind and sensitive people who will put themselves in heart. arm's way just to help and protect people who are closest to him. Just like at the pharmacy. That's what pharmacists do. Constantly, like, when the pandemic was at its peak, he was going in and still helping people expose to people maskless when he
Starting point is 00:36:14 was told to wear a mask, but he thought it's not real risk if he has a mask on. Just saying, do you don't see Batman with a face-protect mask? Do you? No, or hockey pads? Daniels are also people who are willing to give out advice when they feel necessary.
Starting point is 00:36:30 even if they aren't asked for it. That's true. He's constantly imposing us, telling us what to do with the channel. I'm like, I'm like, get it, I don't really want to go into unboxing videos that much. Thank you, Daniel.
Starting point is 00:36:41 And Daniels are also shy and can take a while to get to open up. Oh, that's true. Yeah. It was like pulling teeth. One time literally was. And still, wouldn't talk. Very shy about that accent.
Starting point is 00:36:53 But once they do, they can be great friends who can be approached to for any reason and without judgment. Yes. Scottish people, man, they're accepting people. That's what we like to hear. That's true. And the pharmacists
Starting point is 00:37:05 are not supposed to judge you, you're supposed to you know, like patient doctor confidentiality. I mean, according to the urban dictionary, I'm what to say is, wow, Daniel is so helpful and kind, he just knew what to say. This is what they usually say about Daniels. And you know what? I got to test for the longest time I've known Daniel Gallagher.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Yeah. Yeah. He is helpful and kind. He always knows what to say. say something Dan enlighten do you remember when I was constipated
Starting point is 00:37:35 and Daniel prescribed me some pills he did to make me unconstipated yeah it worked and then I had to take a week off the channel because you were so not constipated it was hard to sit down here for a reaction to watch a movie
Starting point is 00:37:48 exact opposite scenario I can't just keep pausing the movie to go to the bathroom yeah it was like Casper it was every time you eat something just fall right out the bottom and then we tried one time where I was just shitting my pants
Starting point is 00:37:59 when we were watching a movie. That's when we were watching RR.R. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's like too long and we can't sit here for that long while I'm pooping. Yeah. So we're just getting in the way. We shouldn't have miced your seat.
Starting point is 00:38:11 You know, I think that was the big mistake. With a road mic. Yeah, with the backup lab mic. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We put too many microphones around the base of your chair in that reaction. I think that's when we learned we shouldn't do that. But, hey, you stayed regular and you're looking's felt.
Starting point is 00:38:29 That's all thanks to Dan. It's all thanks to Daniel's prescriptions. Because he recommends... He cleanses out. He prescribes me stuff without a doctor's prescription. That's right. He abuses his position of power. Give people medications.
Starting point is 00:38:43 They don't necessarily need. He's a good pharmacist. Love you, buddy.
