The Return of Mike - Fandom Hybrid Podcast #362

If you have been a listener of our show for awhile, you may have noticed the absence of our self-proclaimed Theory Prognosticator and Dad-Joke Enthusiast, Mike, over the past couple of months. Well, fear no more - he's back!! We catch up with Mike to get his thoughts on the Thunderbolts*, The Wheel of Time, and The Last of Us.


Additional note: as he explains towards the end of the recording, Mike's absence was due to having surgery to remove his prostate after some positive findings for cancer. He is well now and thanks everyone for their well wishes, and urges all men to go get tested!!!


00:00:25
What's up hybrids? Welcome back to another episode

00:00:27
of the Phantom Hybrid Podcast. This is Hanukkah, and as you can

00:00:30
see, I am joined by the full crew today for the first time in

00:00:35
almost two months. So yeah, we got Anthony and

00:00:39
Michelle and Casey, and Mike is back.

00:00:44
Hi, Mike is back. Hey, Mike.

00:00:47
Hey, what's up, guys? Welcome.

00:00:49
Welcome. Back.

00:00:50
Thank you. Thank you.

00:00:51
It's good to be back. I missed you guys too.

00:00:55
Like watching you guys on YouTube, they had me having like

00:00:59
I had FOMO like a motherfucker. Especially on that The last Last

00:01:03
of Us Gamer 1 I had, I had major FOMO.

00:01:07
I was. Like well.

00:01:10
You're, I was like, 'cause I was at that point, 'cause I told you

00:01:12
I probably wanted to get in on that and I was like, I'd

00:01:15
probably be alright, but it's OK.

00:01:18
It was a great episode though, So I'm glad you.

00:01:21
But yes, I'm, I'm good. I'm back and, and it's hot.

00:01:26
God. Yes, it is.

00:01:28
Yes, very much so. Like we're in, we are in Georgia

00:01:31
and I think the temperature right now is hovering right

00:01:34
around 100°. So yeah, it's hot, but OK, so

00:01:39
this episode we're not going to talk about anything like

00:01:42
specific, but we wanted to give Mike a chance to kind of catch

00:01:46
up with the rest of the crew because he's missed a couple of

00:01:49
things that we usually have him on the discussions for.

00:01:52
Because for those of you who may not have known Mike head surgery

00:01:57
was it May. The beginning of.

00:01:59
May or late April. Late.

00:02:02
April. Yeah, OK.

00:02:04
Two months. Almost two months, yeah.

00:02:07
So my head surgery, we've been missing him so we didn't get his

00:02:11
take on a lot of things. So I just decided, hey, let's

00:02:15
catch up with Mike and see what's going on.

00:02:17
So what we're going to start with, since Casey is here

00:02:21
because she doesn't watch the other two shows, we're going to

00:02:24
go ahead and start with the Thunderbolts because I know I'm

00:02:28
about to ask the question that's on everybody's mind in regards

00:02:31
to Thunderbolts. Mike, how did you feel about

00:02:34
your favorite character's appearance in the in the film?

00:02:38
Grand opening. Grand closing.

00:02:40
I was, I was, I was OK. I was, you know, I feel bad for

00:02:48
her, but at the same time part of me was just like, to be

00:02:53
honest, it was kind of anti climactic for me.

00:02:55
It's like she died. Like, OK, fine, but it kind of

00:02:58
pissed me off because they turned Taskmaster into a

00:03:01
throwaway character and he's nothing like he shouldn't be a

00:03:04
throwaway, he or she. Well, she's did like that.

00:03:08
The Taskmaster shouldn't be a throwaway character because he's

00:03:11
a very good character in the comics and they could have done

00:03:14
a lot with him. He could have been a recurring

00:03:17
villain because he's a mercenary.

00:03:19
He could be working for anybody. They could have had him do a

00:03:23
whole lot of different shows and appear like even shows or

00:03:27
movies. He could appeared in either one.

00:03:29
But it's like, it's kind of, it's kind of like they tainted

00:03:32
him now. So it was kind of bittersweet

00:03:35
for me and it really didn't. It didn't affect my opinion on

00:03:40
the movie. OK, Which is what?

00:03:43
Did you think of the movie? I enjoyed it.

00:03:46
I thought it was great. I I really liked it because I'm

00:03:51
secretly a ghost super fan like I love her character and I love

00:03:55
her powers like the fight where they first meet was fucking

00:03:59
phenomenal. Like I love that shit like I

00:04:02
love her just phasing in and out.

00:04:04
I love how when, when Century was losing his shit, like she

00:04:09
went and saved people, like helping them phase through that

00:04:12
building, falling down on him, I thought that was really fucking

00:04:14
good. Yeah.

00:04:16
I love Bob. I love Century and how they

00:04:18
presented him because Century in the comics is basically just how

00:04:25
Bob is in the movie. Like he's, he's a lost soul.

00:04:28
He's he has all this time. He's like a big toddler who

00:04:30
doesn't know his own strength. That's basically what he is and.

00:04:34
That sounds about accurate, yeah.

00:04:36
And that's how they portrayed him.

00:04:37
It's like the fight scene in the Watchtower, like where he threw

00:04:42
Red Guardian through the window and got him back.

00:04:45
I was like, see. And just like, I was just really

00:04:49
impressed because I was kind of worried about how he's going to

00:04:51
do it because I know him from Top Gun Maverick and like I, I

00:04:57
enjoyed his character there. I don't know if I don't know if

00:04:59
any of guys have seen it. It's like.

00:05:01
I haven't, but I heard he played a character named Bob in that

00:05:04
one too. Yeah, he did.

00:05:07
And but, but he was like a really kind of, he was like a

00:05:09
little dork. He was, he was, he was dorky and

00:05:12
he, he didn't fly the plane. He was the he was in the back

00:05:16
like giving her directions and firing them in charge of the

00:05:19
missile system, in charge of the weapon system of the fighter

00:05:22
jet. So he was kind of a backseat

00:05:25
character then. But it's like they really, I

00:05:29
like how they did it. I can appreciate it and I, I

00:05:34
really enjoyed it. To me personally, it was almost

00:05:38
kind of a Black Widow redemption for how they let the Elena's

00:05:42
character get developed in it. I really appreciated how they

00:05:46
handled that. And I Bucky, Bucky was so weird

00:05:53
to me because it's like you see him like, like just kind of like

00:05:58
he seems lost to me in a lot of the movies he was.

00:06:01
Matured. Yes, he was a leader.

00:06:05
I, I, I, I get what Mike is saying.

00:06:07
It's almost like he he, he thought he had purpose, but then

00:06:11
he really wasn't sure. Yeah, I mean, I like them.

00:06:15
And it's just like he just kind of seemed like to float in and

00:06:19
out of the scene. And it's just kind of like, OK,

00:06:21
I need, I need you to be a little more assertive, just like

00:06:24
a little bit. And John Walker with John

00:06:27
Walker, I didn't have any opinion.

00:06:30
I'm I'm. I'm I'm here's who he is.

00:06:35
Look. He great value cap.

00:06:37
Yeah, exactly. Great value, Cap.

00:06:39
He he is who he is. It's like, of course he's

00:06:41
divorced from his wife, Of course he's over there pouting

00:06:44
because he's not Captain America.

00:06:46
He's still who he is. And I didn't expect him to be

00:06:49
anything more than what he is in this movie.

00:06:52
I expect them to still have that attitude where he still thinks

00:06:56
that he's the shit and everybody looks at him like, really like I

00:07:00
love, like Elena and Elena and Ghost were like, no Sir, no.

00:07:05
They were they were tagged him in that ass and I was so.

00:07:07
Happy I was. They were.

00:07:08
They were it was beautiful, like they they were tag team dissing

00:07:12
it. It was pretty perfect.

00:07:14
I loved it. Valentin, I think, got a dig off

00:07:17
of him too. What does she call him?

00:07:18
I think, she said. Junior varsity Captain, America.

00:07:22
JB Captain. Oh man, I'm Val.

00:07:29
I love, I love Val's that Val as Marvel's Amanda Waller in this.

00:07:34
I mean, that's basically who she was in the movie.

00:07:41
She was, Think about it. She has a band of kind of

00:07:45
halfway villains that she sent on a mission.

00:07:48
She didn't expect any of them to come back and they tried to kill

00:07:51
him. And she still ended up fixing

00:07:55
things and being on top of it, even though she's really fucking

00:07:58
shady. OK, She's Amanda Waller.

00:08:01
OK. And I, I enjoy, I enjoy, I

00:08:04
enjoyed it. I I liked her, liked her

00:08:05
performance. Red Guardians.

00:08:08
Red Guardian. He was fucking awesome.

00:08:09
He was hilarious. Him driving into the desert like

00:08:12
you love it. It's a troll up.

00:08:18
Late way after the fact, we hiding.

00:08:22
We hiding in the mouth, I. Loved, I loved his part in it.

00:08:26
Then I'm. I'm OK now with them being the

00:08:32
New Avengers 'cause I'm more, I was like, OK, 'cause they're,

00:08:38
they're not really the Dark Avengers.

00:08:40
Cause the Dark Avengers is an entirely different, different

00:08:43
like set. And they would have to introduce

00:08:45
Norman Osborne in that. And because Century is actually

00:08:48
a member of the Dark Avengers in that comic run.

00:08:51
So when they said he was part of the New Avengers, I was like,

00:08:55
Oh, well, I mean, they're not doing.

00:08:57
They can't do dark things. Right.

00:09:00
They can't do Dark Avengers without Bullseye and Norman

00:09:04
Osborne, So I knew they weren't doing that.

00:09:06
So that's it's, it's an interesting take.

00:09:10
I, I'm, I'm more interested to see how the clash between Elena

00:09:14
and Sam Wilson's going to be because they're going to butt

00:09:17
heads because Elena's the de facto leader of that whole crew,

00:09:20
even though John Walker probably thinks he is.

00:09:23
Elena is their leader. And even you, no matter how much

00:09:26
John I, I have a feeling John Walker's going to try to like do

00:09:30
some bossy things and Elaine's gonna be like, sit your bitch

00:09:34
ass down. Why don't you think Bucky?

00:09:38
Bucky, here's my OK, here's my thing on MCU's Bucky.

00:09:44
The way that they are doing his character and the chances that

00:09:48
they've given him don't give me a lot of confidence in him

00:09:52
leading and then giving him a leading the role as a leader

00:09:57
anytime soon. I I just don't get that from I

00:09:59
can see it. I just don't know when they're

00:10:03
it just doesn't seem like they're getting ready to do it

00:10:05
right now. I mean it could happen, but it's

00:10:07
like it the way they're developing his character.

00:10:09
He still seems like a like a side character, like not really

00:10:13
in charge. Think back to the what if where

00:10:17
they had the Mex. It's like it was Sam, him and

00:10:22
Photon and and and Monica. It wasn't just him.

00:10:26
He wasn't he was he was one of the leaders, but he wasn't the

00:10:29
leader. That's probably something that

00:10:31
they will do. Like if they do have they might

00:10:34
have Elena and him as Co leaders, which is which will be

00:10:37
fine, But the two of them going against Sam is going to be

00:10:40
interesting to see. It's going to be interesting to

00:10:42
see how they pull that off. And also I'm looking forward to

00:10:48
see if the rumors about the that being a different Fantastic Four

00:10:52
in the jet than the one then the Pedro Pascal's group.

00:10:57
Like, I heard that. I heard that rumor.

00:10:59
I heard, I heard that this is actually a different cap.

00:11:01
It's a different Fantastic Four that's coming into that

00:11:04
universe. So I'm interested to see if that

00:11:07
comes. I've heard, I've actually heard

00:11:09
that two or three times. So I'm like, OK, I'll, I'm I'm

00:11:12
willing to see see what happens. So that's probably going to come

00:11:15
up at the end of the Fantastic Four movie, which still gives me

00:11:20
hope that they're bringing back John Krasinski to play him

00:11:22
again. Even just a string of them, just

00:11:27
like have a little, have a little little string caught on,

00:11:29
caught on the wing, just like floating and floating behind it,

00:11:32
like, you know. But no, I didn't enjoy it.

00:11:35
I think it's a, it's about a 7/7 and 1/2 for me.

00:11:42
I really enjoyed it. I thought was good.

00:11:45
I thought you were rank it higher because of the whole

00:11:47
Taskmaster thing. Because it was so funny.

00:11:49
We were all sitting there. We were like, we wonder what

00:11:51
Mike is going to think because it included her so heavily in

00:11:55
the promo. Like I literally have posters

00:11:58
downstairs where they have just kind of stuck her in and she

00:12:01
looks like she belongs there. And then when Ghost killed her,

00:12:07
I was like, OK, she's going to get back up in a minute.

00:12:11
And then she never got up. And I was like, did they really

00:12:16
do all of that? Have her do all of this

00:12:18
promotion 'cause she was on the promotional tour, they had all

00:12:23
this stuff and y'all literally gave like, somebody needs to

00:12:28
time it with a stopwatch? Because I think that's how short

00:12:31
it was that she was on the screen.

00:12:32
And I was just like. You only have one line too.

00:12:36
Well, it's it's not outside the room a possibility that she

00:12:39
could be in Doomsday, so. She could be bad, she got.

00:12:44
Burnt to a crisp? Well then again, we don't know

00:12:48
what her suit is made of. Her suit could have easily

00:12:50
protected. Her.

00:12:51
It could be a different version of her based on what they're

00:12:55
going to do with the multiverse. Should they actually actually be

00:12:58
20 masters this time? Yeah, I don't know.

00:13:02
But yeah, I'm actually looking forward to the next next couple

00:13:05
MCU movies. That should be cool.

00:13:08
Yeah, and now I was actually looking when we looked at the

00:13:12
Fantastic Four trailer today, the newest one, Yes.

00:13:15
Yeah, I was actually looking forward to like, OK, so at the

00:13:18
end of this movie they're going to then come to Thunderbolts

00:13:24
Earth, and then you just change my thoughts on that when you say

00:13:27
it could be another group. Damn it.

00:13:29
Could. Be what we have been missing

00:13:31
because MM throws those curveballs like that sometimes.

00:13:35
That's what I do. I, I, I, I hit this way, then

00:13:38
you go that way. He's he's the theory for.

00:13:42
I'm I'm a theory progress theory.

00:13:44
I can't even say I'm a theory prognosticator and dad joke

00:13:48
enthusiast. Yes I am.

00:13:50
Yes, sure AM. OK, do you think that

00:13:56
thunderbolts went too dark? Not dark, but heavy.

00:14:04
I I think that with but this is but then again, Marvel loves

00:14:08
dealing with mental illness and mental health and mental issues

00:14:13
like they they've done it since the end of since after in game.

00:14:18
It's like that. They love dealing with people.

00:14:21
They they love seeing showing people actually dealing with

00:14:25
grief. They've done it a lot and

00:14:27
dealing with grief, mental illness and getting their mind

00:14:30
right. They've done it a lot done it

00:14:31
throughout ever since in game stopped.

00:14:34
So I, I was actually very pleased that they showed me

00:14:38
Elena going through her get, getting through her depression

00:14:44
and showing her actually, you know, coming out, coming out on

00:14:48
the other side of it and showing how Bucky goes through it,

00:14:51
showing how John Walker goes through it, showing, showing Bob

00:14:56
actually coming to terms with things himself.

00:14:59
So it's like, you know, it shows that there are always two sides

00:15:03
of mental illness. Like there's, it wasn't really

00:15:07
necessarily dark. It was just really mentally

00:15:10
heavy as far as seeing somebody deal with, actually confront

00:15:17
their depression and face it head on and take care of it.

00:15:22
And I I really appreciate them for doing that.

00:15:27
So before we move on to the next topic, does anybody have

00:15:31
anything they would like to add about their thoughts on the

00:15:34
Thunderbolts? It's been what, a month and a

00:15:36
half now since it's been out. So I don't think I don't know if

00:15:40
anybody is going to see it again.

00:15:43
I I just. I want I can't wait to so it

00:15:46
comes out on on plus so I can watch.

00:15:48
It, I think it's coming out in a couple.

00:15:50
Matter of fact, I think it's coming out maybe next week or

00:15:54
maybe the week after that. So it'll be on digital?

00:15:58
Yeah, I want, I want, I do want to watch it again.

00:16:02
I think the only thing I add is like on reflection I feel like

00:16:07
it it's a much better movie than people give regret before.

00:16:11
It is it's it's it's. Way better.

00:16:13
Much better. Yeah.

00:16:16
I'm still upset about Captain America and Brave New World.

00:16:24
Well, 'cause this one, they, it was a lot of love and care put

00:16:28
into and yes, it was, you know, dark and heavy.

00:16:31
I just, it's just very disappointing.

00:16:35
And then we started Falcon in The Winter Soldier again and I'm

00:16:38
like, oh, they just did him wrong.

00:16:40
They just did him wrong. So.

00:16:41
Yeah, I. Still underbolts just reminds me

00:16:43
about how bad. Yeah, yeah, they they should

00:16:48
have gave Sam his own story. I mean, he was still great in

00:16:52
it, but it should have been his story and not a, you know, not a

00:16:57
follow up of Bruce Banner story. And then to have all of that and

00:17:00
then not have Bruce Banner at all.

00:17:02
That was, yeah, it was. It was weird.

00:17:05
Yeah, I mean, it was a glorified, it was basically

00:17:07
basically a whole Red Hulk movie.

00:17:09
I mean, it's like with, with, with Sam as a protagonist cause

00:17:14
I watched it a couple more times since then.

00:17:16
I still really like the movie and there's still great

00:17:18
performances in it. Like Anthony Mackie is really

00:17:21
good in it and I still need Carl Lumbley to get some fucking

00:17:24
recognition for him from being fucking Isaiah Bradley.

00:17:28
And I, I really like the movie. I it's like, what's the name?

00:17:31
Ruth Batt Serif has grown on me. I actually really like her

00:17:35
character. The, the, the, the movie was

00:17:39
really, really good. I actually like it better having

00:17:42
watched it again. It's just like the like the

00:17:44
Marvels, it's like the Marvels I was kind of male on.

00:17:46
But once I watched it, watched it a couple more times, I really

00:17:49
enjoyed that. I started to really like that

00:17:51
movie. So there's little things I

00:17:53
noticed and I'm not as upset with how they portrayed the

00:17:56
leader visually as I was when we when we first reviewed it.

00:18:01
Like when last times I watched it, I tried to focus more on how

00:18:05
he was acting, how he how he manipulated everybody as opposed

00:18:10
to just seeing how you look and that.

00:18:12
And I was like, OK, he actually did pretty good.

00:18:15
So I'm not really upset at that either.

00:18:18
I do kind of wish that they would.

00:18:20
What I want them to do is I want them to get him like he was in

00:18:26
the comics, like he he was able to control further in the

00:18:29
comics. He Anthony can correct me if I'm

00:18:32
wrong. He was able to control when he

00:18:34
transformed into the Red Hulk, and he was actually mentally

00:18:38
sentient and he could talk and he was like, hey, so 'cause he

00:18:42
actually led the Thunderbolts, right?

00:18:45
Yeah. So I, that's what I want to see.

00:18:47
I I really want to see him. Wait, Yeah.

00:18:51
That's why they call him the Thunderbolts.

00:18:53
They. Were the Thunderbolts.

00:18:54
Yeah, they've been. They've been.

00:18:57
They've been a shit ton of iterations.

00:18:58
Well, almost cause of the soccer team.

00:19:00
The. Movie.

00:19:02
Go ahead. That was for the movie.

00:19:05
Right that those thunderbolts had nothing to do with the ones

00:19:08
the one I'm talking about the. The ones in convocs are named

00:19:10
for Thunderbolt Ross. They put he put the group

00:19:13
together and he was the Red Hulk.

00:19:15
Yeah, and it it, it had like a rotate.

00:19:17
It had a rotating, rotating array of people in it.

00:19:20
I mean, even Deadpool was a Thunderbolt at one point.

00:19:27
Yeah, for. Somebody who doesn't He was, for

00:19:30
all intents and purposes, Thunderbolt Ross.

00:19:32
He was just a Red Hulk. Yeah.

00:19:34
He was still him. Yeah, he was he he was sent here

00:19:37
like he could talk. He like he was he actually ran

00:19:40
to frack a team. Thunderbolts is actually are

00:19:42
really good common. Like they're they're pretty good

00:19:44
comics. But that that's why that that

00:19:46
movie movie kind of threw me because I was like, see, that's

00:19:49
not really unless unless they get him to transform and he like

00:19:54
in Secret Wars or so or he they they bring him back in some

00:19:57
formatter, but I don't think they're gonna do that.

00:19:59
So I don't know. It's just weird that yeah.

00:20:04
I don't know, but because it's kind of like they left, they

00:20:07
left that door open with his character.

00:20:09
I feel like maybe for the possibility of bringing him back

00:20:13
for something else. But I think also with the

00:20:17
Thunderbolts, and I don't know if this had anything to do with

00:20:21
it because I can't remember when they actually started filming,

00:20:25
but maybe they changed the concept of of the Thunderbolts

00:20:30
and how they got started, how they got their name and stuff

00:20:33
after William Hurt died. Maybe they hadn't at that point

00:20:38
decided what they were going to do with Ross's character, right?

00:20:42
So that that could have something to do.

00:20:45
And there was like, OK, well, let's just change it up and do

00:20:47
this and put a different spin on it.

00:20:49
But again, we're talking about a a cinematic universe that deals

00:20:54
with multiverses. So that's not to say that the

00:20:58
comic accurate version of Thunderbolts isn't out there

00:21:01
somewhere that we may see a version of it or we may see a

00:21:05
glimpse of it or a cameo of it in one of the other films,

00:21:10
'cause I swear if I see another random website update on the

00:21:15
next person who is joining Doomsday, I'm like, are y'all

00:21:19
gonna have any money left at this point?

00:21:22
Because almost every day I see somebody new, oh, they're going

00:21:27
to bring this person back. They're bringing this person

00:21:29
back. They're bringing this person.

00:21:31
You know, now there's rumors that Disney is talking about

00:21:34
bringing Jonathan Majors back as Kane.

00:21:37
So. Wait till Secret Wars.

00:21:40
Yeah. So when Secret Wars says you're

00:21:43
going to, it's going to be even worse because they're going to

00:21:45
try this. Like there's going to be all

00:21:46
kinds of shit if they do. If they do Battle World, it's

00:21:50
going to be a, it's going to be a are.

00:21:52
We going to be looking at Secret Wars Part 1 and Secret Wars Part

00:21:55
2. Secret Wars Part 3.

00:21:57
Is it going to be like that? Cause because I don't.

00:22:02
One of the things about Doomsday, when they made that

00:22:09
initial announcement, that was 33 or 34 cast members that you

00:22:16
named then. And then there have been rumors

00:22:19
of other people since then, like, you know, people who are

00:22:22
taking set photos, like, oh, this person was on the set here

00:22:25
and this person was on the set. How how do you have a story with

00:22:30
that many characters and keep it cohesive?

00:22:34
I just, I don't know. Probably why.

00:22:36
Probably why, Kevin said said that Secret War is gonna be his

00:22:39
last one. He's like, I'm sick of this

00:22:40
shit. OK, look, I'm like I'm out.

00:22:44
But he started this, didn't he? Yes, yeah, yeah, it's his fault.

00:22:48
And he's getting ready to leave right after the Secret Wars.

00:22:50
Like he's like, this is your shit.

00:22:52
Like I know. Bye.

00:22:52
You don't care. He already made his.

00:22:54
Money, it's it's going to be one of those things where these

00:22:57
people are only going to be in there for like a minute or two.

00:23:00
Yeah, right. It because.

00:23:03
Kind of like John Krasinski and Patrick Stewart and.

00:23:06
Cause like the link the the the leak that I heard about what the

00:23:09
story was going to be, which I'm not going to repeat here.

00:23:12
It it, it makes sense there. There's gonna be a lot of

00:23:15
cameos, a lot of brief appearances.

00:23:19
OK, especially with the X-Men. With the X-Men, there's probably

00:23:21
gonna be a shit ton, like of just weird shit like like

00:23:25
mother, like people you haven't even thought of in a while.

00:23:28
It's like, 'cause I would have thought, I don't know it.

00:23:33
It just seems like. 'Cause you're missing Storm and

00:23:37
I still think she's gonna end up in that.

00:23:39
I think, you know, you have the actors who were like, Oh yeah,

00:23:42
that seems, that seems great. Or like Halle Berry was like,

00:23:46
nobody contacted me, whatever. That same thing, Andrew Garfield

00:23:51
and Tobey Maguire said. And.

00:23:52
You see how that turned out? It was a wonderful surprise.

00:23:55
Chris Evans a couple of a couple of weeks ago was that I think

00:23:59
the premiere of his new movie. He was like, yeah, it feels sad

00:24:02
seeing the band get back together and I'm not there.

00:24:05
Da, da, da, da. Whatever, Chris, whatever.

00:24:10
You know who's been quiet? Mark Ruffalo's been quiet, but

00:24:12
they haven't let him talk. They haven't let him talk to

00:24:14
nobody. Nobody but you know, he's also

00:24:18
one of the people that spoils things.

00:24:20
So that's probably why, Probably like we ain't telling you shit

00:24:23
until you you have to arrive on set and we're going to give you

00:24:27
your dialogue that day. No, they got his ass locked in

00:24:29
the trailer. They don't let him out with if

00:24:32
they he's actually if he's in it, they just let him out.

00:24:34
This film seems like get your ass back in the trailer.

00:24:36
And they should and they they cut him off from everything.

00:24:38
It's like there's no Wi-Fi in there.

00:24:40
And just like there's, there's barely ATV.

00:24:42
He has, he has like, he has like a like a old black and white TV

00:24:45
with AVCR and like, and like a box of videotapes.

00:24:47
He's like, yeah. And.

00:24:48
The Bunny ear antennas with the aluminum for.

00:24:51
It's just like they're like, no, you're not getting, we're not

00:24:54
letting you do shit like sit your ass down.

00:24:57
Yeah, yeah, him and him and Tom Holland.

00:24:59
They they just can't. They're they're like, no, we

00:25:00
ain't talking all a damn thing. Y'all need also work.

00:25:04
So how was Secret Invasions a part of that?

00:25:07
Not better not be, goddamn it. No, Absolutely.

00:25:12
Not but no. You.

00:25:13
You. Got it's in the catalog.

00:25:14
I mean where? Are we see what you what you're

00:25:16
doing is since Taskmash is going, you're trying to get me

00:25:18
mad about something else. You're trying to get me going

00:25:20
about something else. I'm just, you know, I'm just,

00:25:24
I'm with Michelle because Secret Wars, you gave this to us and

00:25:29
you introduced this whole new element and, and these new

00:25:34
people with these new powers. Khaleesi, I can't even remember

00:25:38
what her what her character's name was, but yeah.

00:25:42
But I'm kind of curious too. Like, so where does that leave

00:25:46
them? And then other other characters

00:25:49
that we got briefly and then they pulled out.

00:25:52
Because I've heard rumors that Moonlight is going to show up.

00:25:56
And I'm like, I just need to see.

00:25:57
I don't care if he's on the screen for two minutes.

00:26:00
I just need to see Oscar Isaac as moonlight and not as what's

00:26:07
his, what's his name, Apocalypse.

00:26:10
It would be there. Please don't don't right?

00:26:12
Don't need that. And then we've got to get our

00:26:14
questions answered about Roadie. So let's what what's happening?

00:26:18
Unless Roadie shows up and Iron Heart I mean help me.

00:26:23
Mike, you've seen the first 3, three episodes.

00:26:26
Does he show up yet? No, he's not.

00:26:28
He's not the first two. Episodes so we gotta include

00:26:32
Secret Invasion but. See, but see The thing is it's

00:26:35
like they they're him and they like they have armor wars, which

00:26:38
was supposed to be featuring him.

00:26:39
It was supposed to be ATV series, then supposed to be a

00:26:42
movie, then supposed to be canceled, then supposed to be

00:26:43
back on. So it's like we don't have no

00:26:45
idea what the fuck's going on roadie.

00:26:47
I mean down Shields gonna be 70 in like 10 years.

00:26:49
They need to hurry up and do something.

00:26:51
It's just like fucking. It's just like with Sam

00:26:53
Jackson's like Sam Jackson's get ready to be 80.

00:26:55
How y'all gonna still have him being Nick furious like y'all

00:26:57
got y'all got to get a get a multi, get a multiverse version

00:27:00
of Nick Fury where he's where he's like they haven't been like

00:27:04
Zac Efron being Nick Fury, but. Just like the Blade movie, they

00:27:08
apparently the Blade movie is still on.

00:27:11
Yep, back on 20 after like 20/20/28 you know.

00:27:16
It's been sure. It's been popping up in my feed

00:27:18
the last couple of days. And then of course, Mahershala

00:27:21
Ali is in the new Jurassic World movie.

00:27:23
So he was on the red carpet and someone on ET asked them.

00:27:27
They were like, so what's going on with this Blade movie?

00:27:29
He was like, look, just tell Disney I'm ready whenever they

00:27:32
ready. I'm ready.

00:27:34
So apparently it's not dead yet. So.

00:27:40
Only ever one blades, every going to be 1 blade.

00:27:42
Whoever thought that would have been prophetic?

00:27:47
I was wondering which one of y'all was going to say it first.

00:27:52
He said what he said he said. What?

00:27:53
He said. Oh.

00:27:57
Man. Oh, goodness.

00:27:59
OK, so I think we're going to move on from the Marvel talk.

00:28:02
And at this point, I think Casey is going to exit the chats.

00:28:06
Great to see you. Because she don't talk about

00:28:08
this other stuff. Enjoy your.

00:28:11
Other shows. That I'm surprised you don't

00:28:12
watch The Last of Us. You you watch The Walking Dead.

00:28:15
You don't watch The last. No, The Walking Dead is the

00:28:17
exception. Casey don't do horror stuff,

00:28:20
right? Yeah, Casey don't do horror

00:28:23
stuff. Walking Dead is the exception.

00:28:25
Kind of like who was, I think Anthony, you said something

00:28:29
about you don't do zombies, but you've done a little bit of The

00:28:31
Walking Dead and then you did The Last of Us.

00:28:33
But only I think if The Last of Us wasn't a video game that you

00:28:36
would play, you probably wouldn't have watched that

00:28:38
either. Probably not.

00:28:41
I mean, to be, to be fair, to be fair, I don't do horror stuff.

00:28:43
Either but. It's like The Last of Us got me

00:28:45
somehow. I don't know.

00:28:46
I don't know how it happened, but it's like I just watched for

00:28:49
example. We forced you into it.

00:28:50
It's called peer pressure. Apparently, yeah, I'm.

00:28:57
Yeah, I only watched The Last of Us up until they went to that.

00:29:00
Yeah. Yeah, Frank.

00:29:03
Oh, of course you would watch the gay episode, Casey.

00:29:08
And stop that. Which was really one of the

00:29:11
most, that was probably the best episodes on TV, period.

00:29:15
So. Oh, OK.

00:29:18
Thanks, love. I'll give you that.

00:29:19
I don't know what happened after that.

00:29:21
Maybe one of these days we'll get you to watch it.

00:29:23
I mean, it's Pedro Pascal. Well, you.

00:29:26
Know. I mean, I mean.

00:29:28
You know what people keep telling me?

00:29:31
I'm getting more and more lists. People are like, you got to

00:29:33
watch this, you got to watch that, you got to watch this.

00:29:35
So I have like a list this going of stuff that people tell me I

00:29:38
got to watch. So I'll add it on there and then

00:29:41
when I'm not doing anything. If the Nigerian is not any,

00:29:45
she's not watching. It I mean, that's a good way to

00:29:50
get her into something. So you see, OK, so we're going

00:30:00
to let Casey go and do her thing.

00:30:03
Appreciate it. Have fun and then you guys can

00:30:08
decide. Mike, what do you want to talk

00:30:09
about first? Because I know you've only seen

00:30:11
up to episode 5 of Will of Time, correct?

00:30:14
Because that's. Where I've seen I've watched

00:30:16
episode 6. OK, because that's the next one

00:30:18
we have to record so because. I I recorded with you guys on

00:30:22
episode 4 because I told you that was right about Elijah.

00:30:26
Oh yeah, you did. So you.

00:30:28
So you really only missed one episode only?

00:30:30
Episode. Five or two?

00:30:31
No, I think you. I think you recorded 3.

00:30:35
I missed 3 and I recorded 4. Oh, OK, OK, OK, so we we have to

00:30:41
do 6. So how are you feeling so far

00:30:44
About how how did you feel about wait, did you do?

00:30:48
The Summit. I didn't record episode 5 with

00:30:50
you guys. Was episode 5 Rowenian?

00:30:53
No, Rowenian was 4. Rowenian was 4.

00:30:56
Yeah. Episode 5 was oh, episode 5 was

00:30:59
he Wayne finding out who's been haunting her dream?

00:31:02
This bit No, you know what? See No.

00:31:06
Well, you see this, I'm gonna start this.

00:31:07
This how? I'm just how the hell I'm gonna

00:31:08
start this Rands bitch ass. I'm with Rand.

00:31:13
I'm just like freaking godfather three.

00:31:16
I'm like, anytime I thought I was gonna give him the benefit

00:31:19
of every time I thought I was out, he pulls me back in this

00:31:25
mother. Oh, I was so and I knew it was

00:31:27
gonna happen as soon as she started dream walking.

00:31:30
I was like, watch. I was like, I remember, I

00:31:33
remember, I remember when I watched it, as soon as she went

00:31:35
dream walking, I was like, she's gonna walk in on them.

00:31:37
She's gonna fucking walk in on I know it and fucking Leandrin's

00:31:42
ass. I'm like, you got being.

00:31:44
She knows how to play the game. You got to you, you, you.

00:31:47
I mean land fear. Land fear.

00:31:49
Yeah. Land fear.

00:31:50
Not Leandrin. Land fear.

00:31:52
Land fear Lamprey knows how to play the game.

00:31:56
I can't be. I can't even fucking be mad at

00:31:57
her. I was like, I like as soon as I

00:32:00
saw like in the beginning when they were sitting and she was

00:32:02
like, she was like I love you and they were kissing and shit.

00:32:05
I was like this fucking Rands look.

00:32:11
You have to remember, Rand is still young.

00:32:14
He still can get. We can.

00:32:16
Only use that excuse like for so many things.

00:32:19
I mean when if if it when he's when he when he's awake and he's

00:32:23
trying, he's trying to get in bed with a Gwaine and he's like,

00:32:27
oh wait, we can wait this fine Da da da, da.

00:32:29
Then he goes to sleep and he dreams that he's with fucking

00:32:32
fucking land fear. I'm like.

00:32:35
But I don't think that can all be blamed on him because Land

00:32:38
Fear is kind of inserting herself in there too.

00:32:42
So don't be looking at me like that.

00:32:44
Anthony Laffer he has. Choices.

00:32:46
He has choices. Yeah, can you tell me that when

00:32:51
you go to sleep you have full control of your dreams?

00:32:56
Hey, my wife watches this. You trying to?

00:32:59
Trap me. Wait, both of y'all?

00:33:01
Both of y'all started talking at the same time and I didn't hear

00:33:04
nothing. But first of all, Anthony's

00:33:07
sitting next to his wife and my wife watching it might actually

00:33:10
listen to this podcast. You ain't catching me in in no

00:33:13
in no damn trap. You trying to trap a

00:33:14
motherfucker. No, I'm not doing it.

00:33:17
I'm just saying. What you could go to sleep and

00:33:19
dream that you walk off a Cliff. You can't you, you might be

00:33:22
sitting there watching yourself walk and be like, OK, this is

00:33:25
not a good idea. I think.

00:33:27
Wait. Wait, wait, but.

00:33:28
If that's the way you. Go.

00:33:30
No, let's wait. Let's bring us back.

00:33:32
Let's bring us back to the show. We in we in the sewers, not in

00:33:36
the apartment. Let's bring it back to the show.

00:33:39
In the show, these people have control over their dreams, OK?

00:33:45
I believe in that. He he has options.

00:33:48
He has. Right, he's the Dragon Reborn so

00:33:52
he should be able to give up a fight some in the dream.

00:33:57
I've never once heard him talk about his.

00:34:02
Girlfriend, yeah, I mean, in the book he's not an expert in the

00:34:05
dream world, but he's shown enough is not going to be messed

00:34:08
with in the dream world. That's all I'm saying.

00:34:11
I'm just. Saying I'm just but I'm.

00:34:13
Enjoying both worlds, Anthony and I.

00:34:16
Also discussed the fact that this is the dragon reborn and he

00:34:19
don't know how to half do shit so.

00:34:23
No, he doesn't. He really doesn't.

00:34:25
You know, I, I didn't say we had to give him a a yard.

00:34:28
I, I said just a little inch that, you know, laugh.

00:34:32
Laffy is getting in there. She's she's trying to manipulate

00:34:35
the situation. Right.

00:34:36
And he's caught up and I get, I do give him a yardstick because

00:34:41
he is caught up. He's having feelings that he he

00:34:46
can't quite explain because it's feelings from the past and the

00:34:51
current feelings. And he Gwain actually don't

00:34:54
really care about him. He know that so and this woman

00:34:59
is like you're my heart, you're my soul the.

00:35:02
Thing The thing is, it's like right?

00:35:05
What? Do.

00:35:06
You do? Yeah.

00:35:06
What do you? Do with that anything is wrong.

00:35:08
He's kind of him because he kind of has known for a while that

00:35:13
Gwen isn't really interesting. She told him that when they were

00:35:17
before they even left the Two rivers now, so she made it very

00:35:21
clear he. Kind of knows that, yeah.

00:35:24
It's just hard that who you cheating?

00:35:26
We is the same one why Gwen is sleeping is about killing her.

00:35:31
So, you know, it's kind of hard to digest.

00:35:33
Yeah. And his and his feelings is

00:35:35
loose there until Amount is wrapped up in his feelings for

00:35:38
her. Too.

00:35:38
And I think he, Gwen, would have been all right if it was like

00:35:40
another woman anyway. Not laying feet, but not the

00:35:46
person who is literally killing you every night that you escaped

00:35:49
taking your. Your greatest nightmare and and

00:35:53
disguising herself as this person and then torturing you.

00:35:57
But again. Over and over, she's doing.

00:36:00
She knows what she's doing. She but oh, that's a whole,

00:36:04
that's a whole other conversation, 'cause I think

00:36:06
there's some things that happened that Mike has not seen

00:36:09
yet, so we're not going to go into.

00:36:12
I can't wait to talk about episode 6.

00:36:13
When we talk about episode 6, I'm I'm, I'm going in.

00:36:16
But my thing is this Rand being the Dragon Reborn and the way

00:36:25
that he's acting is worrisome to me.

00:36:28
It's like this stuff that happens where I'm just like, I

00:36:32
look, I'm looking at Rand. I'm like, you know what?

00:36:35
I you, you need you. You need something.

00:36:40
You need you need Jesus, a shock caller.

00:36:42
You have no idea. I watched episode 6, I have some

00:36:48
idea. Episode 6 pissed me the fuck

00:36:50
off. I was.

00:36:51
I was mad as hell. It's like that.

00:36:53
I was, I was mad at hell, a couple people, but I mean, also

00:36:57
OK, Yeah, but it's like Rand, I see I told you I tried.

00:37:02
I tried to be in his corner. I actually turned the corner and

00:37:06
said I like said I was I was on. I was on team ran.

00:37:09
I said I was I'm good. I'm on team ran now.

00:37:12
I'm just like, yeah. Just hold on Mike.

00:37:17
We still got. Well, they have three months.

00:37:21
How to discuss like but like. How do you feel about the

00:37:24
cancellation of the show? I'm pissed.

00:37:27
I'm so fucking upset. I'm like, really?

00:37:30
This is Shadow and Bone all fucking over again.

00:37:33
Bro. I'm I'm so fucking that mad.

00:37:36
I wish do I wish if I I want, I want to win this lottery so I

00:37:40
could just so I could start, start a channel of where I can

00:37:45
so I can get like shows that have been cancelled. $6

00:37:48
to finish this show. Here you go.

00:37:50
Exactly. Oh, you went with like 3

00:37:52
Yeah shit. Yeah, yeah.

00:37:54
And wrap it here. Wrap this up.

00:37:55
You wrap this up. You wrap this up or keep it

00:37:57
going. I don't give a fuck.

00:37:58
I need this. I need.

00:37:59
I need another see at least one more season of this fucking

00:38:01
show. But.

00:38:02
Yeah, and, and the crazy thing is, I'm not going to give

00:38:07
anything spoilery, but you pissed now, Mike, wait till you

00:38:10
finish the season and then realize that the show got

00:38:13
cancelled. You really going to be pissed?

00:38:16
However, we still got the Ring of Power.

00:38:19
You know what we're not. Having the need to chill the

00:38:23
fuck out. Well, I mean, I like the Ring of

00:38:25
Power, but I like Will of Time. More.

00:38:28
More and actually more people really do like the will of time.

00:38:33
So I'm just confused why I got cancelled.

00:38:36
I mean it had ready. Power has a contract and Will of

00:38:40
Time did not. It and it had me like invested

00:38:43
in reading all the books. I have listened to the lore, I

00:38:46
have listened to things while I was sleeping at night.

00:38:50
Yeah. Same, same.

00:38:52
He's shaking the head 'cause he know he hears it.

00:38:54
I'm like listening to back stories of everybody.

00:38:58
And you probably did some YouTube some.

00:39:01
You pause, pause and ask a question.

00:39:04
I'm sleeping, ma'am. Answer the.

00:39:08
Show. Oh my God.

00:39:11
OK, so Mike, let's talk about another one of your favorite

00:39:13
characters in the On the positive, how do you feel about

00:39:16
what's going on with Matt in the last couple episodes?

00:39:20
That's funny because this was the episode.

00:39:23
Episode 5 was the one where he fought the brothers, right?

00:39:27
He was on the boat with them and they were said they were

00:39:31
sailing. They were sailing with those

00:39:32
women who who made like the Aurora borealis.

00:39:35
Kind of thing. OK, so that was the episode

00:39:36
before, so. OK, yes.

00:39:38
Matt fighting with Elaine's brothers.

00:39:42
Did you get a kick out of that like I did?

00:39:44
Because I was sitting there, Anthony and I were talking

00:39:46
about, I think this was the episode that you missed.

00:39:49
And we were talking about just how Matt, like, really hadn't

00:39:54
been given anything to do. And it was just kind of, OK,

00:39:57
what are you guys going to do with this character?

00:39:59
You gave him a great kind of, you know, climax in the first

00:40:04
season and then you kind of put him back.

00:40:06
To where he was and then this fight happens and I rewatched

00:40:10
the fight the other day and it's so funny because he's sitting

00:40:13
there he was like 2 marks a piece and nine he was like oh

00:40:16
Lord, here we go. And as soon as he started

00:40:19
speaking the whole tongue I said oh this is about to get

00:40:21
interesting. Then you had that fight and I

00:40:24
was just. You know what, to your point, it

00:40:28
really seems like Matt's bored as fucking this this season so

00:40:31
far. It's like it seems like he he's

00:40:33
sitting there, he's getting his pictures, he's getting he's

00:40:36
getting his picture drawn with the horn.

00:40:37
He gives he gives the horn to Swan and it's like now he's just

00:40:42
like he see his idle hands of the devil's workshop.

00:40:46
That's what it is. So you need to give Matt

00:40:48
something to do or he's going to fuck shit up.

00:40:50
It's like he like like he was on the boat.

00:40:51
He was like, I'm going up to I'm going up to the day.

00:40:53
He's like, no, they told us to stay down here.

00:40:55
Now I'm going up to the fucking deck.

00:40:56
He's like he he's like with men. He's like but I'm.

00:40:59
Sorry, if I was in a cabin when I need throwing up all over the

00:41:03
place I would take my chances up on deck.

00:41:05
No, I trust me. I don't blame him.

00:41:06
Like 990, you suck. I need to if she'll hurry up and

00:41:11
do something. I swear to with this.

00:41:15
This has been the theme. This has been the theme since

00:41:17
last season. It's like, if that's what we've

00:41:19
been saying, we're like, if you don't hurry up and do something

00:41:23
except for throw up and walk around pouting and mournful and

00:41:28
we're say I don't like, I don't like these powers like a

00:41:31
powerful. She's the most powerful

00:41:33
Chandler. And in the last 1000 years.

00:41:36
Look, I'm glad. I'm glad I see it.

00:41:39
Can I see it right? Yeah.

00:41:42
If you do something. Can she feel it?

00:41:46
Can we do some? I mean, she, I would, I want her

00:41:48
to do something when they were like like doing the doing the

00:41:51
weaves on on the boat, like I'm doing the Aurora borealis thing.

00:41:54
I was like, I wanted something to happen.

00:41:56
Then like just even if they did like some of the weaves just

00:41:59
magically came to her and wrapped around her or some shit

00:42:02
and they're like, Oh, that's never happened before.

00:42:04
She would have been doing something, but she's still like

00:42:06
doing that, but throwing up and pouting.

00:42:08
I'm like if you don't get your ass.

00:42:12
But I think that time on the boat helps her because it gave

00:42:16
her a way to see that you don't only have to channel the way the

00:42:19
acid, I tell you, you have to channel.

00:42:22
So hopefully something good will come of that because yeah, it's

00:42:26
like watching paint dry, like, OK, is it going to change color

00:42:32
today? No, it's not going to change

00:42:33
color. It's going to do something

00:42:35
today. No, it's.

00:42:36
She's still the most powerful channeler we've seen in 1000.

00:42:40
I don't have alcohol, might pass that through the screen because

00:42:48
yeah, I, like I said, I don't see it.

00:42:51
But yeah, I, Anthony and I actually recorded just a little

00:42:56
something when we heard about the cancellation.

00:42:58
And then of course I went out of town.

00:42:59
So I'm still going to post it, but that I think I can't

00:43:04
remember maybe with Shadow and Bold, but I can't remember the

00:43:09
last time I was that distraught over a show cancelling because I

00:43:13
sent Anthony. There was the Wheel of Time.

00:43:16
There's a fan club and they have actually started a petition to

00:43:21
try to get the show saved or shopped around.

00:43:24
And I sent the link to Anthony and he was like, you're really

00:43:28
taking this hard off issue. And I was like, yes, absolutely.

00:43:32
Because you know, there's a lot, there's a lot of stuff on TV

00:43:36
right now. We talk about it.

00:43:37
This is like the golden age to be a geek because all of our

00:43:41
stuff is on TV. We're seeing it manifested in

00:43:45
film and TV and this and that. But I don't know, something

00:43:50
about the Wheel of Time just hit different one, because you have

00:43:54
all the diversity and two, because it's woman LED and you

00:43:58
don't get a lot of that in, in any type of media right now.

00:44:03
So it's, it's almost like it was just a like just a, a repeated

00:44:09
stab of the heart. But I mean, I've, I've seen

00:44:12
they've been, they're trying to, they're trying to see what they

00:44:16
can do. The fans have collected.

00:44:19
I think the last time I saw the petition, it was like maybe

00:44:22
120 signatures, which I'm like, OK, y'all, we can do more

00:44:26
than 120. But they have taken up

00:44:29
billboards around the Amazon headquarters and they've they've

00:44:33
done billboards on the highways and Shura Agdashlu actually

00:44:39
reposted the the petition. She was like, you know, yeah,

00:44:44
the story is over, but there's still more to come.

00:44:46
We need to say, you know, we we need to have another turning of

00:44:50
the wheel. So I'm hoping they can find

00:44:53
another home for it. But it it's kind of like, I

00:44:58
think Anthony and I discussed it.

00:45:00
If Amazon don't have the money to to do this, then who does?

00:45:04
They do have the money. Amazon got the money.

00:45:07
They got the money. They don't spend it.

00:45:09
OK, that if Amazon doesn't want to spend it with me, but I mean,

00:45:14
I'm, I'm like you, Mike. I'm sitting there looking at the

00:45:17
Mega Millions, but I'm like, oh, Mega Millions is at 398

00:45:21
right now. So if I win, at least 40% of

00:45:25
that is going to go to Uncle Sam and then I can kind of figure

00:45:28
out the rest. Like I can help them do this if

00:45:31
they really need to do this. I and I I really, I really do

00:45:37
feel passionate about I I really especially because those last

00:45:43
two episodes when you see them, like you gonna be like, wow,

00:45:50
wow. And then like, like I said, we

00:45:53
literally had just finished watching it.

00:45:57
And then like, maybe it, I don't know, a week, a couple of weeks

00:46:00
after the show, the season ended.

00:46:04
That's when we got the notice. And I remember I was sitting at

00:46:07
work and I was just cussing at my desk.

00:46:09
I was like, oh, I'm so glad nobody is here.

00:46:13
I was mad, mad, but let's see. Oh wait, OK so tell me where you

00:46:27
are because I I can't remember because I haven't rewatched

00:46:30
episode 6 yet. Tell me where you are in regards

00:46:33
to Dane and Child Balda and. And camp that's episode 5.

00:46:41
Yep, I'm glad they got with it. I'm glad they got what they got

00:46:43
because because they killed mother and killed the mother.

00:46:46
I'm like and and shout to her for standing up for that whole

00:46:50
thing in two rivers pissed me off like fucking the way they

00:46:53
did a line Elena like Elena and and her what what's the.

00:46:58
Alana and Maxim. Alana and Maxim, like had been.

00:47:02
I was. I was like, am I crying?

00:47:03
I think I'm crying like. Listen, I was about to riot when

00:47:06
I thought Alana was about to die.

00:47:08
I was like, oh, I literally sat up in my seat.

00:47:11
I was like, yeah, I better fix this because what we're not

00:47:14
going to do? Like y'all ain't gonna, y'all

00:47:16
not gonna execute her in the middle.

00:47:18
It y'all ain't gonna gonna like circle shoot her like that.

00:47:21
Like no, like no man, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:47:24
And I'm glad. I'm glad Maxim.

00:47:26
Maxim came back and regulated a little bit.

00:47:28
But it's like, I felt so bad because like, both of them were

00:47:32
suffering. It's like she like broke off her

00:47:34
bond and they put the bond back. Then it's like, I'm like, oh

00:47:38
God. Yeah, I didn't get it.

00:47:41
Together it broke my heart and. I guess it don't matter now

00:47:46
since we ain't getting another season, I know.

00:47:49
Yeah, I because. They literally Alana had become

00:47:53
one of my favorite characters. Like top tier?

00:47:57
Real. Characters so.

00:47:59
Yeah, she's yeah, I love her and and she shout to fail and

00:48:03
parent. I'm like what's up with yeah

00:48:06
like like I I watched episode 6 so I know what's up.

00:48:09
I know what I know what's going to be up, but I was like seeing

00:48:11
them together. I was like, OK, and then seeing

00:48:14
the the fucking dream world that when when she went through the

00:48:17
dream world and saw and saw him like saw him like doing his

00:48:21
black. Thing happy with Payel, Yeah.

00:48:23
I was like, oh. I'm yeah, I'm.

00:48:27
I'm not mad at it. I'm like, OK, I can, I actually

00:48:29
actually really like that. It's like, and then like and the

00:48:34
the the said the dust sisters, like when she said he said I'm

00:48:38
going. They're like she's coming.

00:48:41
Yeah. Yeah, I was like, yeah, OK,

00:48:45
alright. I like, I like this.

00:48:46
I was, I was really good. Yeah.

00:48:50
I want to talk about Elida. Yeah.

00:48:52
How about I I we've been loving looking at her like she she's

00:48:57
got to be she's got to be part of the blackout.

00:48:59
Like she's got this something fucked up with her and her ass

00:49:03
goes and try and it gets and gets jacked up by the great by

00:49:07
the great guy and it's like and and she's laying there and

00:49:10
salon's above her. Like I think we've misjudged

00:49:13
your sister. I was like, it was like, I was,

00:49:19
I was like, she probably wanted to be like.

00:49:21
Bitch, heal me. She's like, you know, I was

00:49:27
trying to think of who to compare it to.

00:49:29
She's like the Dolores Umbridge of, of, of the show, because

00:49:34
Dolores Umbridge, for all her evil and all that other stuff,

00:49:38
she wasn't a Slytherin and she wasn't a Death Eater.

00:49:42
She was just a nasty piece of work.

00:49:45
And so, you know, I'm, I'm Elida.

00:49:49
Elida, she was not playing, you know, I was like, she she was

00:49:52
like fucking like the way, the way she did that one black guy

00:49:56
like twisted her up then like then broke her neck.

00:49:59
I was like, oh shit, she like she was pretty.

00:50:04
What the fuck is wrong that that whole court this making me about

00:50:09
what's her name Evelyn like what's up?

00:50:13
Like her mother and her whole court with Gabriel being a

00:50:16
fucking dark friend and. Oh, Elaine.

00:50:19
Elaine like Elaine like, what the fuck is up with that?

00:50:24
Well, I mean. Like like like.

00:50:27
Like. Fucked up.

00:50:29
Raven because you're talking about the stepdad, right?

00:50:34
Yeah. No, he's a cortisone.

00:50:36
He's a he was a cortisone, Yeah. Yeah, he just kind of snuck his

00:50:41
way and it was like, oh, let me alter your memory here.

00:50:44
Let me alter your memory there. Let me alter this memory.

00:50:49
But I mean, that would explain, not that, you know, when we go

00:50:52
back and think about it, that would explain why Leon Leona

00:50:58
couldn't remember his name when he first walked in because he

00:51:03
hadn't had a chance to influence that room yet.

00:51:06
And she was just looking like, Oh, yes, you guy, I'm so sorry,

00:51:13
I forgot your name. And then once we realized who he

00:51:16
is, it's like, oh, no, he was a little late to the party putting

00:51:20
putting that into everyone. But also because they are the

00:51:24
the Isodai. Maybe it just took a little bit

00:51:28
longer for his. No, no, OK.

00:51:31
No, no, OK, He just needed a moment because it's a whole

00:51:34
bunch of them. Yeah, yeah.

00:51:38
And then that moment, shout, shout to, to, to lean.

00:51:42
Leanne Leanne Leanne proving that she's a for once again

00:51:46
proven that she's a she's a well dressed badass.

00:51:50
Well dressed badass. I was like, yes, fiercely got.

00:51:54
I I need her wardrobe like. Yeah.

00:51:57
She kills it all the time. Need her powers and her

00:52:00
confidence. Like she is like, yeah, I like,

00:52:04
I really like her character. Like like, like more and more.

00:52:08
Every time I see her on screen she's just like, I'm just like

00:52:11
Yep. Yeah.

00:52:13
OK. So before we move on from Will

00:52:15
of time, how you feeling about Leandra?

00:52:18
Fuck that bitch. I'm done.

00:52:21
Because like, I'm like, I'm I'm tired of trying.

00:52:25
You know what it is? I'm tired of trying to figure

00:52:27
out if she figure out what the fuck she's doing.

00:52:30
It's like she's doing something that she seems like she's trying

00:52:33
to help somebody. Then she's doing something where

00:52:35
she's only trying to help herself.

00:52:36
Then she's doing something where she's like, OK, I'm helping.

00:52:39
I'm helping the forsaken. They all.

00:52:41
I'm kind of going behind her back and doing this shit.

00:52:44
Then it's like, Oh well, now I'm doing this shit for myself.

00:52:47
Then it's like, oh, I'm only, I'm only land fear.

00:52:50
I'm only, I'm only before you. Then then she's like, OK, fine,

00:52:54
OK, find this shit so we can do this and this and this and I'm

00:52:56
just like, I'm tired of trying to figure out she's she's

00:52:59
exhausting. She is fucking exhausting to

00:53:02
figure to think about. I'm like what?

00:53:04
Like, see, it's just like everyone else in here.

00:53:07
It's just like, I can't really think about Moraine that long

00:53:10
before getting a headache. I'm like, what are you doing

00:53:13
now? Yeah, 'cause you're.

00:53:13
Still trying to figure out like, OK, we know for the most part

00:53:17
what your your motivations are, but it's kind of like you still

00:53:20
wonder, OK, so where are you in this?

00:53:26
Even though I think it's kind of plain now that she basically is

00:53:31
like, OK, I'm here for the dragon.

00:53:33
I don't care what that means. I don't care who I have to hurt.

00:53:36
I don't care who I have to betray.

00:53:37
The dragon is the priority. Like Lorraine is one of those

00:53:41
people. She is singular focused.

00:53:43
If it ain't got something to do with the dragon, she's like, OK,

00:53:46
that's that's over to the side. I deal with that later.

00:53:49
You know, even in the first episode when she knew that

00:53:53
something was about to go down in the tower and Lamb was like,

00:53:56
she'll be OK. She was like this day is not

00:53:58
about her and turned around and. Walked.

00:54:00
It was like, oh. OK, Lorraine is a cold piece of

00:54:04
work. She can be.

00:54:07
OK, let's see. I don't think there's too much

00:54:12
else we need to say about Wheel of Time now, because we do still

00:54:15
need to record episode 6-7 and eight.

00:54:17
And I think since all of us now are, we're, we're pretty

00:54:21
stationary for the next couple of weeks, right?

00:54:23
At least we're, we're not going anywhere.

00:54:26
So I think we can get those recorded and put out our our

00:54:32
very vocal Wheel of Time follower.

00:54:35
I put a message out to him. I was like, hey, we're going to

00:54:38
take a pause. We're waiting for Mike to come

00:54:40
back. And then we're going to do, he's

00:54:41
like, OK, I can't wait for you guys to come back.

00:54:44
So we've got people waiting for us.

00:54:46
So we'll do episode 6-7 and eight within the next couple

00:54:50
weeks. But let's move on to The Last of

00:54:55
Us. Mike, how are you feeling?

00:54:59
OK, here's the thing. I, I had to look back because I

00:55:03
was like, like, I think I only recorded episode one with you

00:55:06
guys, if that. I don't think you did any of the

00:55:14
episodes for this season. Not.

00:55:17
For this season. Yeah, not for this season, OK.

00:55:21
I think we may have chatted about it.

00:55:24
OK, All right, so this show plays with mine, plays with your

00:55:30
emotions so hard. And episode fucking 2, holy

00:55:41
shit. Like I was watching it and I'm

00:55:43
like, 'cause and I, I hadn't been spoiled.

00:55:45
I haven't been spoiled yet. I was lost.

00:55:47
Fortunate that I hadn't been spoiled about anything.

00:55:50
Like not, not even what happened.

00:55:53
No, I think it's spoiled. What?

00:55:55
Nothing. Not even from the game.

00:55:58
No, I didn't. No, not even because I haven't

00:56:02
played the game. I haven't either, but I knew

00:56:05
what was going to happen. I well, yeah, because it's like

00:56:09
that's all anybody would talk about.

00:56:12
I I knew, I knew, I knew about what about, about, about her,

00:56:16
but I didn't know like how it was like how it was going to

00:56:20
happen and like the first episode and I was like, oh,

00:56:24
she's going after fucking Joe. OK, so that like that's probably

00:56:28
going to be a season fan. I was like, I literally said,

00:56:30
oh, that's probably going to be towards the end of the season,

00:56:33
very next motherfucking episode. I was like what the fuck man?

00:56:39
And you're dealing with with an attack on top of all that.

00:56:43
Yeah, like a that shit was that shit was scary as fuck, Like and

00:56:47
and ally's ally's ass. See, this is what you get for

00:56:50
get for trying. See, hate, hate just fucks,

00:56:54
fucks everything up. She's over there trying to like

00:56:57
like looking, looking at Joel and shit and rolls down the hill

00:57:00
and wakes up fuck wakes up all the fucking undead like sleeping

00:57:04
under like how about like the undead just like pound just like

00:57:08
making making a making a zombie a zombie duvet out of their

00:57:12
dead. Like damn, like OK, that's

00:57:14
creative as fuck, but I but that shit was scared.

00:57:18
Like the whole thing was like like the them, them, the way the

00:57:23
way that they ran and hit the wall when they were attacking

00:57:27
the city, Jack attacking Jackson Hole, like just like slamming

00:57:31
the fucking. I'm like whoever y'all hired to

00:57:33
do that part earn their fucking money that day 'cause they hit

00:57:37
that motherfucker hard as hell. And then the fucking the fucking

00:57:45
but big ass, big ass motherfucker chasing Tommy.

00:57:47
I was like, y'all that I was like.

00:57:50
That bloater. Not the bloater bloater chasing

00:57:52
Tommy and into a fucking alley. I'm like no, the fuck they're

00:57:56
not. I was like no, no no they ain't.

00:57:58
They can't be. And I was like OK, good, we just

00:58:01
haven't roasted mushrooms. Cool.

00:58:03
But then they go. I don't want them kind of

00:58:08
mushrooms. But it's like that whole thing,

00:58:12
then it's like, so I watch it and I'm like this fucking

00:58:14
heartbreaking. And I'm like, I love, I love

00:58:19
Joel who's like fucking he's Joel to the end where she's

00:58:22
monologuing. He's like, will you shut the

00:58:24
fuck up and get on with it? I was like, I see out like AG.

00:58:29
He's like, fine, you don't do it.

00:58:30
Do it. I was like, I'm not getting out

00:58:32
of this apparently because you already shot my fucking kneecaps

00:58:34
out. So I'm so Needless to say I'm

00:58:36
not walking away from this. Hurry the fuck up.

00:58:42
And and it's like, and also after I watched it and was

00:58:46
fucking heartbroken with fucking Ellie curled up and curled up

00:58:50
against his, his dead body like Oh my God.

00:58:54
And then see him watching them drag the body back.

00:58:57
And I'm like, and then also I'm like, OK, so I watched, I

00:59:02
watched some reactions online from people who watched people

00:59:07
who actually played the game, who knew what was happening.

00:59:10
And they had their reaction was like, they're doing that now,

00:59:14
like like this, like the I. Think we all had that feeling?

00:59:17
Yeah. Like what I think like people,

00:59:20
yeah, people who knew like people who knew like I watched

00:59:23
their react. They were, they were, they were

00:59:25
shook. They were like I where y'all

00:59:27
gonna go from here? Like this is like.

00:59:30
So I so after that, I like, I I love Luther.

00:59:37
I love Luther Wright's like little temporary part in this.

00:59:40
I thought I thought he was really good in his episode.

00:59:45
Oh. Yeah, the leader of.

00:59:47
Right. Yeah.

00:59:48
Jeffrey Wright, Luther. Goddammit Jeffrey Wright.

00:59:51
Yeah. He did play Martin Luther King

00:59:53
with. Yeah, yeah, he did.

00:59:55
He did. He did.

00:59:56
I was like, I love him in this. I I can't wait.

00:59:59
I'm sure he's probably going to be more in it next, next and

01:00:03
then the next season. Yeah, 'cause the next season is

01:00:06
focusing on Abby. Right.

01:00:09
So I, I love that I, I really liked Abby and I like Dina and

01:00:16
Ellie together. They because they're, they're

01:00:21
just, I mean, they're just kids. I'm like, OK, they're, they're

01:00:23
just kidding that. I mean, I love their

01:00:25
interactions. Yeah, but they did get a little,

01:00:29
as Anthony said, they got a little 2 CW.

01:00:33
A little too skinny Max. What you talking about?

01:00:38
That's, that's skinny Max. Shit.

01:00:40
I was like, oh, there go oh, oh, oh, OK.

01:00:43
I, I, I mean, we, we, we all knew it's gonna fucking happen.

01:00:48
It's like, it's not like we didn't know it's gonna happen.

01:00:51
And fucking Abby, Abby playing that fucking guitar.

01:00:53
Like, first of all, how did you find, how did that?

01:00:55
How did that guitar stay whole? Ellie.

01:00:58
Ellie how? Ellie.

01:01:00
Ellie. How did Ellie find a whole

01:01:01
guitar that didn't have any? That the strings were intact?

01:01:05
Like that must have been a hell of a fucking case because that

01:01:07
thing had been there for like years.

01:01:10
Decades that. That tuning at all, I mean

01:01:13
tuned. It a little.

01:01:15
Bit but. Yeah, and remember in in season

01:01:18
1, Ellie Ellie's guitar was sitting in the court, was

01:01:21
sitting in the corner. And he's like, Oh, yes, you're

01:01:23
you're, you're, you're I'm strings afraid.

01:01:26
And then I was like, Dusty, It's like that.

01:01:29
That must be a man. I feel like, I feel like Joe

01:01:32
Pesci in My Cousin Vinny. What was this?

01:01:36
Was this a magic guitar case? Did you get it from the same

01:01:39
place Jack got his Beanstalk beans?

01:01:44
But I was like, damn. But this like that part, I was

01:01:46
like, see, that's like, damn, that's a good part.

01:01:52
What do you think about the stalkers?

01:01:56
No, no, no, like the first one, like the one one episode 1, the

01:02:03
little little baby one. No man, like the way she was

01:02:09
looking. They just came into that look

01:02:11
like and then like sneaking around like no, no, no, no.

01:02:17
The part that that was like weird but beautiful to me was

01:02:24
the part where she found Noel in the, in the quarantines in the,

01:02:28
the, the part where there was airborne, where, where the,

01:02:32
where the sports were airborne, like in episode 26, like, and

01:02:36
they were sitting there and like everybody who was in there had

01:02:39
already gotten infected and they were just like breathing spores.

01:02:44
Like that scene was just like oddly beautiful to me.

01:02:49
Agree. Yeah.

01:02:51
Like I was just like, I was mystified.

01:02:53
I was just like, dude, like I don't know why, but that's

01:02:57
fucking Gord that that was that was a beautiful, that was very

01:03:00
well done. And then you see you see Ellie

01:03:05
beating the fuck out of her ass, even though she's it's like, OK,

01:03:09
back to OK back to reality. He had.

01:03:11
It coming? Yep.

01:03:15
I mean, yeah, I, I, I didn't feel that bad, but that damn.

01:03:19
See go. Ahead.

01:03:21
What you say, Michelle? No.

01:03:23
And then I'm on the side thinking the science of it all

01:03:26
say, OK, so in Seattle they have the airborne is because it's a

01:03:31
more of a moisture in the air. Like I was trying to make sense

01:03:34
of it all. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, but

01:03:38
I'm just making sense of it all. Yeah, I.

01:03:40
Mean. You know me, I'm like, I want

01:03:41
someone to explain that. Sounds about right to me.

01:03:44
Yeah, I mean, it is what it is. 'Cause they were, they were near

01:03:50
ocean, right? They were near the ocean because

01:03:53
they had the, they had the boats and everything on the water.

01:03:59
So yeah, they had to be close to the ocean.

01:04:01
So yeah, that's, I mean. I don't know.

01:04:04
It means a lot in Seattle. I have no idea.

01:04:06
I just, I thought it was cool. It was, but I think they tried

01:04:10
to explain to us by telling us that that was the first place

01:04:13
they took the infected. So those would that would have

01:04:16
been like the oldest. Ground Zero that.

01:04:19
Was yeah, that was like the oldest place where they were

01:04:23
and. Then it evolved.

01:04:25
It just evolved. That's the next step in

01:04:26
evolution, yeah. That's scary, though.

01:04:30
That damn. But that damn season, that

01:04:32
finale, Holy fuck, dude. First of all, how Ellie.

01:04:38
Ellie's a sea captain now? How the fuck did she not drown?

01:04:41
She should've. She should've.

01:04:42
Did I? Not say.

01:04:44
Did I not say this? Like who is she, Captain Jack?

01:04:49
Is she Captain Jack fucking Sparrow now?

01:04:51
Like fucking going, going across, going across choppy,

01:04:54
going across the stormy waters in the fucking dinghy and

01:04:57
surviving. Not once, but twice not.

01:05:01
Once, but twice. Yeah, twice.

01:05:03
Yeah. I was kind of like.

01:05:04
So where exactly did she learn how to steer a boat in Jackson

01:05:09
Hole? Yeah, like, I mean, she, she

01:05:15
definitely didn't learn in Boston.

01:05:16
Definitely didn't, no. No.

01:05:21
And I don't know if I feel like that's something that Joel would

01:05:24
have been able to do, because why would he?

01:05:28
Yeah, I feel I feel sorry for was name Jimmy.

01:05:33
Don't say it, don't say it. Don't say it.

01:05:34
Don't say it, don't say it. Jimmy.

01:05:37
Yeah, Jesse. Jesse.

01:05:41
Well first of all like you got all the way to them how you just

01:05:49
hear noise like can you sneak and like look that's why your

01:05:54
ass got shot soon as you walk through the door.

01:05:57
I mean had some common sense. Did he not learn anything?

01:06:01
Have have we? Did we not just finish talking

01:06:04
about this, Discussing The Walking Dead?

01:06:06
Can we not just talk about this? How people?

01:06:08
But his adrenaline, maybe it was his adrenaline but still like

01:06:12
you know better and then you tall, you are easy target.

01:06:19
Again, stretch. Yeah, bend down a little bit.

01:06:21
Like bend your back like around corners and shit.

01:06:24
Push the door open. Yeah, 'cause if Ellie would have

01:06:27
been first, she probably wouldn't have shot.

01:06:29
Ellie probably would have hit like maybe just above her head

01:06:32
'cause she probably was expecting grown men or grown-ups

01:06:37
to come. Because you're not going to

01:06:38
think that this, that this guy, I know you're thinking that, oh,

01:06:42
he killed all my friends. So you know he's dangerous.

01:06:44
You're not thinking that he's there with kids, right?

01:06:47
So you going to aim higher because you're smart.

01:06:51
And he was smart enough to run right into it.

01:06:55
However, he he died happy. He was finding out he was having

01:07:00
a baby and he was in love with someone.

01:07:04
And now the baby ain't got no daddy because his ass went out

01:07:06
there standing straight up like a fucking telephone pole.

01:07:09
Hey, hey, hey, wait. Wait, the baby does have a dad?

01:07:11
Yeah, Ellie says she's dad. Ellie says she's going to be the

01:07:15
dad, so I had a pappy. Yeah, that the whole Jesse

01:07:22
thing, kind of. And and I'm like now, now I'm

01:07:26
now I'm worried about Tommy because Tommy got caught in

01:07:29
fucking crossfire too. I'm like God damn, like like

01:07:32
this whole. Thing I don't think we need to

01:07:34
worry about Tommy because like I tell Anthony, I think Dina got a

01:07:39
shot off because Dina is upstairs asleep, remember?

01:07:45
So she would have heard the first gunshot, probably limped

01:07:49
her way over to the balcony because Dana is the smart one

01:07:52
out of all of them. Dana knows, OK, if I heard a

01:07:55
gunshot, that means there's somebody here that's not

01:07:58
friendly. Let me try and ease my way over

01:08:00
here and see what's going on because nobody's going to think

01:08:03
to go upstairs, you know, especially not at that point.

01:08:07
She looks over the balcony, she sees her, her dead baby daddy.

01:08:12
And then she sees her girlfriend or her best friend or her,

01:08:15
whatever they are right now right here, and this girl with

01:08:20
the ponytail has the gun on her. Dina was probably like, what we

01:08:25
not going to do, bitch? So I don't know if she killed

01:08:29
her to kill, I mean shot it to kill her, or if she shot it just

01:08:33
to incapacitate her so they could.

01:08:36
Why we keep having this conversation?

01:08:38
Hanukkah you don't see. None of them have been doing

01:08:44
what they needed to do this season, so I'm going to assume

01:08:48
that they probably just shot her to incapacitate her.

01:08:52
Maybe she's going to ask her questions, maybe she's going to

01:08:55
torture her a little bit. I don't know.

01:08:58
Doris, Doris Shire her with the intent to kill.

01:09:02
If she got wings, that's because she missed and she didn't hit

01:09:06
her cleanly. But trust me, Dora is not

01:09:09
pulling the trigger to eat. We'll see, We'll see.

01:09:12
We'll. Because think about you should

01:09:15
take incapacitate a person with a gun.

01:09:18
That means they still have the gun and they're going to return

01:09:21
a fire. She could have shot her in the

01:09:22
hand, knocked the gun out of hand.

01:09:24
Oh my God, I'm. Just I'm just saying I've seen,

01:09:27
I've seen stranger things happen.

01:09:30
We have. So you can.

01:09:32
Get we watch the. Walking Dead.

01:09:34
So yeah. So clearly that doesn't mean

01:09:38
that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't.

01:09:41
Possible beat shotgun every time.

01:09:43
Right. First of all, nothing's going to

01:09:45
happen to Tommy, Nothing 'cause we will have a riot if Tommy

01:09:49
dies, yeah. You can't take you.

01:09:52
You look, you already took the war.

01:09:54
Brother can't take the. Come on.

01:09:57
We're not having that. No Oh, and that that scene

01:10:02
between Ellie and Mel where she's like when she when she's

01:10:07
like just just cut think my baby just to Els like this fucking

01:10:13
show. Yeah.

01:10:15
Fucking show. I'm like.

01:10:19
And at first I'm like, why she not doing it?

01:10:21
Come on now you can do this. And then I'm like, what the hell

01:10:25
you going to do with a baby? If she.

01:10:29
Doesn't cut the right way. But if she did make.

01:10:32
It go die anyway. What you going to do with a

01:10:35
newborn barely was you barely got onto the island yourself and

01:10:40
almost died and then go to like go to a target and find some

01:10:51
infamil like what are we doing? Yeah, because because that

01:10:56
that's one brave baby that will not be breastfed.

01:10:58
I was. Going to say she have to turn

01:11:00
into a mommy real quick. That doesn't work that way, No.

01:11:04
And you know, and you got to be quiet.

01:11:09
Not with a newborn. Not with a premature newborn at

01:11:13
that. I.

01:11:14
Think Anthony, what was what was it that you said you was like?

01:11:17
I don't have enough faith in Tommy and Jesse to raise I.

01:11:23
Don't. I did not.

01:11:24
I agree. I I I have to agree with that.

01:11:29
The fucking seraphytes, holy shit them motherfuckers are

01:11:32
scarier than the fucking wolves. Like God.

01:11:35
Damn, they are. Yeah, the first the first time

01:11:38
when they when they had like strung up the strung strung the

01:11:41
guys up in the gym and and had to gut and cut their guts and

01:11:45
had their guts coming. I'm like, I don't like this.

01:11:49
And then the the bet, the thing that messed movie is because

01:11:52
before when they showed the Sarah fights, they showed them

01:11:55
walking and try to make you feel sorry for him, try to make it

01:11:58
seem like they were like like they were just helpless.

01:12:01
They were just they were just ruining like they're Mormons and

01:12:04
shit like like they're fucking this just walking religious

01:12:07
nomads, not bothering nobody, just like even though they had

01:12:11
like Joker smiles cutting their face, they don't pay attention

01:12:13
to that. They're they're they're

01:12:14
harmless. They're harmless.

01:12:15
It's fine. It's like, no.

01:12:19
Yeah, you will hear when you go back and listen to our episodes.

01:12:23
I I mentioned you quite a bit when we talked about the Sarah

01:12:26
fights because I was like, I can hear Mike in my mind now like

01:12:30
this fucking show is, is is misleading us.

01:12:32
We don't know who to trust you. You show us the people who look

01:12:35
like they're nice and they probably the most deadly people

01:12:39
on the doggone island. Like right, like you call Ellie

01:12:44
and you just automatically strung her up and yo, the the

01:12:47
child is like. Yeah, The thing is like, it's

01:12:52
like the wolves are afraid of them.

01:12:53
The wolves are are the ones with the armored, with the armored

01:12:56
tank, armored vehicles and guns and shit.

01:12:59
And they scared of them and they scared of them in fear.

01:13:04
They won't even go into the fucking park because they're in

01:13:06
the fucking park. Yeah, think about.

01:13:08
It they went into the park, you know what?

01:13:11
They're good. Yeah.

01:13:12
We're not going in there, exactly.

01:13:20
Bro I'm so sad it's like. I mean, think about that.

01:13:23
It's like people who are armed to the fucking teeth could.

01:13:28
I mean, and they could basically, they could go into

01:13:30
the into the park and form a line and mow them down, but

01:13:35
they're not going to because they're scared as fucking the

01:13:37
motherfucker. They're like, fuck that shit.

01:13:39
They can have. You might be mowing them down

01:13:41
and you gonna have the little ones behind you.

01:13:44
Shank, Shank, Shank, Shank. Yeah, yeah, behind, behind you

01:13:48
cutting your damn Achilles and shit like like in pet cemetery,

01:13:51
like. Yeah, no.

01:13:54
But did you? But yeah, it's like I was, I was

01:13:56
watching. I was like, no, this is some

01:13:58
Children of the Corn bullshit I ain't fucking with.

01:14:00
None of these motherfuckers did. You make that reference to

01:14:03
Anthony. It is, but that's what it is.

01:14:08
I'm like Nah man, Nah Nah Nah but y'all can have you.

01:14:13
Feel about the flashback episode messing.

01:14:19
Glad to see your bottom lip tremble.

01:14:23
Fucking with my emotions it it didn't.

01:14:26
And to make it so bad, it didn't really get me until the end

01:14:29
where it's like they brought back the scene from the first

01:14:32
episode where she walked past and when he's playing the guitar

01:14:35
and she and they finally talk about it and she says I'm trying

01:14:40
to forgive you. I don't know if I can, but I'll

01:14:42
try it tomorrow. I'm like.

01:14:44
I like to try, yeah. And then he dies the next day.

01:14:50
That's not traumatic. At all Like what the fuck is

01:14:54
wrong? Yeah.

01:14:56
I was I'm shout, oh, shout, shout to them for for making

01:15:02
making transphobes look like dumb asses.

01:15:04
And I was like, OK, good. And I and he and he came back

01:15:14
next day. I'm sorry, here's some steak

01:15:16
sandwiches. I'm like, but he but he

01:15:21
actually, he came. He came in clutch though by

01:15:23
giving her a better gun, which when they were on their way I

01:15:25
was like alright cool. Yeah, they are.

01:15:28
Still, you still cry. Yeah, right, right.

01:15:32
But yeah, yeah. That, that fucking flashback

01:15:34
episode, I was just like, I was looking at.

01:15:39
I was like the IT brought me back to something that Joel said

01:15:42
in the first episode. He's like, this is new for both

01:15:45
of us because my daughter never made it to being a teenager.

01:15:47
So I don't know how to raise a teenager.

01:15:50
And her being a teenager, not having been raised by anybody,

01:15:53
it's like we're doing this like on the fly.

01:15:56
And it's like, I was like, see, that makes that actually makes

01:15:59
sense because they're they're basically doing this without a

01:16:03
manual and not knowing what the hell what the Hell's going on.

01:16:07
And they're trying to, despite everything that's happened to

01:16:11
them, that is basically a lifetime of shit that has

01:16:15
happened to them in these scant 567 years.

01:16:20
Yeah, they basically had a lifetime of shit happened to

01:16:22
him. They're still together and

01:16:24
they're still trying to be in each other's lives.

01:16:27
And it's like that. Oh, that episode.

01:16:32
Fucking shit dude. Then we had the nice little What

01:16:37
would you think about the the person who played Eugene?

01:16:45
What how is he just that once I love Joe Pantoliano, I was like,

01:16:52
that's my dude. I I really I like him and

01:16:55
anything he's he's in like he was, but fucking Joel again,

01:17:00
like fucking lying this motherfucker, don't he when it

01:17:05
comes down to it for like important shit like this, Joe

01:17:08
will lie at the drop of a hat like he don't give a fuck like

01:17:11
anything to if it comes to survival, he'll give a fuck.

01:17:16
You like you know, but I'll take him.

01:17:19
I'll take him. You know, I mean, it's like I,

01:17:28
I, and that explains, I mean, he's, I got to give credit to

01:17:34
what's her name for even trying to treat him.

01:17:39
Gay. Yeah.

01:17:41
Talk to you could get. I give her props for even

01:17:43
fucking talking, even looking at him, like even not not spitting

01:17:47
on him every time she passes him in the street.

01:17:49
I mean, but she understood. I mean, it's like it's kind of

01:17:52
the cost of doing business in a zombie apocalypse.

01:17:54
Like if you get bit, you get bit.

01:17:56
It's like you should. You could do, yeah, but don't.

01:17:58
Lie about it like yeah, yeah, I think that was no I.

01:18:03
Yeah, but I mean, this is Joe. Like I said, this is Joe.

01:18:06
Joe, Joe will allow anybody to survive like that.

01:18:10
That's that's that's been his MO.

01:18:12
It's like he's he if he's, if it, if it means you or him about

01:18:16
a lie over a lie, he'll give a fuck.

01:18:18
You don't. You don't tell that lie in a

01:18:20
heartbeat. But the problem, he didn't read

01:18:23
the room because if he hadn't looked anywhere in like he was

01:18:26
so busy avoiding Ellie's gaze because he knew what he had just

01:18:32
done that he didn't pay any attention to what was going on

01:18:37
with her. If he had turned and just looked

01:18:39
at her for a second, he would have shut his mouth because he

01:18:43
would have seen right there on her face.

01:18:45
She would have been like I wish you would.

01:18:48
I wish you would. Yeah.

01:18:51
But he didn't see it, and he did.

01:18:53
And yeah, we got to where we ended up being.

01:18:57
So yeah, yeah, this. Fucking see, this is a great

01:19:01
season, man. Yeah, more, more awards.

01:19:05
Everybody's getting all kinds of shit.

01:19:07
Like God damn. Yeah.

01:19:10
I really like I love Caitlin David Deaver in this gonna plays

01:19:14
Abby like I like. I really I I love Ellie has

01:19:21
taken I'll taking a huge step forward in this in this season.

01:19:25
I think I think this is she's she's acting way better this OK,

01:19:30
like she's doing way better in this episode and that was like

01:19:33
it since I'm since I'm catching up with Game of Thrones, I found

01:19:38
are. You still doing that?

01:19:40
Yeah, we're on. We're on season.

01:19:42
We're right after after Joffrey gets his and I cheer.

01:19:46
I'm I'm still celebrating that so.

01:19:48
Oh yeah, that was a great episode.

01:19:50
Even though I'm mad, I'm mad they're trying to frame my man

01:19:53
Tyrion for that shit. I'm like, really?

01:19:56
Motherfucker, that was gonna. Have y'all gonna leave my man

01:19:59
like that? That's my dude.

01:20:00
I like he's he's my he's probably my favorite character

01:20:03
at all out of everybody him and fucking what's his name?

01:20:09
But anyway, so it's like. I've been seeing seeing like

01:20:12
little snippets of Game of Thrones and I saw her and her

01:20:15
role, thought Bella Ramsey's role in and I was like, oh.

01:20:20
No, yeah, when, when you, when you get to her, yeah, you're

01:20:24
immediately gonna be like, oh, that's my favorite character,

01:20:28
'cause she, she was only 11 when she filmed that.

01:20:31
She knocked it out of the park. Like holding her own on a screen

01:20:35
full of men. Absolutely amazing.

01:20:38
Yeah, she's really good. Thank, it's like Tyrion and Arie

01:20:42
are my favorite characters right now 'cause Arie is just getting

01:20:44
into her own with her sword. I think we're, we're getting

01:20:48
close to the point, 'cause I know a little bit, I, I, I know

01:20:52
what, I know what happens with her.

01:20:54
Like I know she's getting ready to meet the man with no face and

01:20:57
like, do it get going to like all that shit.

01:21:00
So I can't wait to get there. I can't wait to get there.

01:21:02
So, but yeah, so I, I love, I love the little parallels and I

01:21:08
and I saw Pedro Pascal in there and laugh my ass off.

01:21:12
That let me tell you. He's hilarious.

01:21:14
One of the best characters on that show, period.

01:21:21
And he was. Only on screen I think for 38

01:21:24
minutes out of that entire show. Yeah, he's, yeah, he was, he was

01:21:29
good. I like is it's just, it's such a

01:21:31
random part, just randomly. Oh, it's Pedro Pascal.

01:21:34
Like oh shit, where do you come from?

01:21:37
Oh look, Pedro Pascal died. Right.

01:21:40
Yeah, I was. Like, OK, he's he's he's trying

01:21:44
to be the Sean, the next Sean Bean.

01:21:49
There was a there was a video of his sister on the red carpet.

01:21:53
And I think somebody asked her a question about it, and she was

01:21:56
like, you know, I see these things all the time.

01:21:58
I know that it's coming. And I knew that it was coming.

01:22:01
She said, but quite frankly, I'm tired of seeing my brother die

01:22:04
on screen. So she said, you know, she knew

01:22:07
it was coming in the Last of Us. I think she said when she saw

01:22:11
it, she threw her iPad across the room.

01:22:15
She was like, no, I'm tired of seeing him die.

01:22:18
She's like, even though I know that that's not real, that's

01:22:21
still my brother that I'm looking at on the screen being

01:22:24
killed. Yeah, so.

01:22:26
Yeah, you know, I'm thinking I'm like, damn, don't do this in The

01:22:29
Mandalorian. Fuck around.

01:22:31
Don't do that to me. Don't.

01:22:33
Don't start. Don't, don't we?

01:22:35
No, no, they can't kill him. He has a movie coming out.

01:22:39
They can't kill him. Ain't going to bring him to the

01:22:42
big screen then die. No, that's not going to happen.

01:22:48
Stranger things have happened. No, we're not.

01:22:51
We're not about to have that stranger thing.

01:22:54
Let's not even talk about Stranger Things or else we're

01:22:56
going to set machine. The machine.

01:23:02
Is irked that that show is not coming on till November.

01:23:06
But I'm happy 'cause we have dates.

01:23:09
Yes, we do. Michelle has already.

01:23:11
Told me. All of her family don't look,

01:23:15
ain't doing that. Don't invite me nowhere for

01:23:16
Thanksgiving, Don't invite me nowhere for Christmas.

01:23:20
Don't invite me nowhere. For the cooking has to be done

01:23:22
before and after I am done. I don't.

01:23:29
Oh, I can't wait. I.

01:23:32
Know they, you know, they started tearing down the

01:23:35
location for Hawkins Lab. Yeah.

01:23:38
Down in midnight. I'm OK with that 'cause I get

01:23:40
closure. Yeah, not like, real.

01:23:44
Time they will be in their 40s when when it comes on but you.

01:23:50
Like seriously, like seriously. It's like, like they, they're

01:23:52
gonna be, they're gonna be retired.

01:23:53
They they, they gonna be having, having their retirement dinners

01:23:56
by the time they by the time it comes on.

01:23:58
So Erica just graduated from high school.

01:24:01
I saw that. Yeah.

01:24:02
I'm like, yeah. What's what's his name?

01:24:07
Her brother is like 30 now. Like what the like he got a full

01:24:11
beard and two kids. I'm like, what?

01:24:15
How you gonna still be in high school?

01:24:16
Like how you gonna do that? Yeah, Those, those it's like all

01:24:20
of all of them are married now. It's like what the like they

01:24:23
can't, they can't be kids anymore.

01:24:25
They could barely be high be college kids.

01:24:27
Barely. Yeah, but but we can, I mean we

01:24:32
got they look. At a beard and shit.

01:24:34
Like no, we can't do that now. We got dates, so that'll be a

01:24:39
good thing. I'm wondering if they're going

01:24:41
to do a time jump, though. That.

01:24:43
I mean, I kind of feel that they almost have to because none of

01:24:47
those kids look like kids anymore.

01:24:49
They don't even look remotely childlike, except maybe Millie.

01:24:53
Bobby Brown can still pull it off.

01:24:55
Maybe, maybe will the. Hard the hardest.

01:25:00
No, they could because the way it ended, you go back to the

01:25:03
last episode when they were on the hill, they all looked old

01:25:08
anyway. The only person that it will be

01:25:12
extremely hard is Erica. Yeah, because.

01:25:16
She was so. Young.

01:25:17
Yes, They were already older, just now looking a little bit

01:25:22
more mature. She was young, yeah, and they

01:25:27
already was pushing it with her then how they had her hair kind

01:25:31
of styled and like a little more kid.

01:25:33
You can't. She probably won't even be in in

01:25:37
in the season real. They probably could have got

01:25:38
Bianca Lawson to do it. She still looks like a teenager.

01:25:41
They're probably. They're probably gonna have her

01:25:44
have her walk out of her room and Caleb's gonna be like, what

01:25:46
the hell, She's like puberty. What?

01:25:50
Yeah. So, but that is coming.

01:25:54
Let's see. I'm trying to think what there

01:25:58
was something else about The Last of Us I want to ask your

01:26:00
opinion about and I can't think of it now.

01:26:03
So I'll just have to, I'll just. Have to miss.

01:26:07
I'm just so excited that Mike has no idea what is happening to

01:26:14
know what is going to happen. Yeah, as.

01:26:18
Far as the Last of Us. Yeah, it's great because I have

01:26:22
the information. It's like I'm tempted because I

01:26:24
have AI, have APS 5, but I'm not going to get the game.

01:26:26
I'm not going to play the game. Yeah, I've, I've heard that

01:26:31
people who get that game, they literally binge it and like play

01:26:36
because I think who was it? Steven Young?

01:26:39
I was watching, you know how Variety does the actors on

01:26:44
actors interviews now they're they're starting to do a lot of

01:26:47
them and they have them on YouTube.

01:26:48
So Steven Young and Pedro Pascal did one, and it's actually a

01:26:53
really great interview. But Steven Young was talking

01:26:57
about, he said when he was asking about The Last of Us and

01:27:00
he asked Pedro if he had played the game.

01:27:02
And he was like, Oh yeah, I played.

01:27:04
Steven was like, Oh yeah, I play.

01:27:06
He was like, I started playing in like 12.

01:27:08
I finished in 12 hours. And Pedro was like, what?

01:27:11
He was like, yeah, I couldn't put it down.

01:27:14
So yeah, I hear that is addictive like that.

01:27:16
And I just, I, I don't have the room in my life or something

01:27:19
like that. I don't, I'll, I'll just one of

01:27:22
these days, I'll probably go watch the game play online.

01:27:26
But like, even my son, my son has played the video game.

01:27:31
So when Season 2 got ready to start and Episode 2 was coming

01:27:36
on, Episode 2 had played the week before and the new episode

01:27:41
was coming on and I was like, you've played the game, right?

01:27:45
He was like, yeah, I said, yeah, this is the episode after that

01:27:50
happened. He was like, fuck that, y'all

01:27:52
can have that. He walked upstairs like, Nope,

01:27:57
not doing this, not doing it. So yeah, I'm hoping they're not

01:28:04
going to make us wait for too long, but I don't even think

01:28:07
they've started filming yet. I think, well, you know, Pedro

01:28:09
is kind of busy right now, just a little bit promoting a new

01:28:14
movie, about to start promoting Fantastic Four.

01:28:18
He's a little busy right now, but I don't think he's part.

01:28:21
I'm trying to think. I heard one rumor that they were

01:28:25
going to feature him and some flashbacks, and then I saw

01:28:30
another one that said he was completely done because they

01:28:32
actually did like a rap thing for him on the flashback

01:28:38
episode. So I I I don't know.

01:28:41
I, I I. Mean they they could have done

01:28:43
his stuff for the next season and just have it ready so.

01:28:47
True, so I just hope we don't have to wait till like 2027 or

01:28:51
2028. We don't have to wait till

01:28:54
20/27/2028. I saw Anthony Space and like you

01:28:58
going to wait. We waited two years for this,

01:29:01
two years for this one. It's.

01:29:05
Been told let me, let me dream man, let me hope.

01:29:09
I don't I don't want you good feelings.

01:29:10
I don't I don't want I don't, I don't want you your emotions to

01:29:13
get played with. You got I gotta be I gotta level

01:29:15
with you. I mean, shoot, it's like just

01:29:19
like Wednesday. It's like like like Poseley's

01:29:21
like 665 now. Like he was, he was like 4 foot

01:29:24
3 in like the first season and he's like 6 foot 5 and has

01:29:27
electrical powers now. I'm like, God damn, that's just

01:29:30
good. I can't wait for that to come

01:29:31
out. We we have the manager

01:29:33
expectations and like. Exactly.

01:29:37
We want to be that disappointed. But two, it's been 2 years.

01:29:41
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

01:29:45
That's why I said, like I said, appreciate Darrell Dixon cause

01:29:49
every September. Right.

01:29:50
You are you correct? Wow.

01:29:53
Guess that's how I feel about Stranger Things.

01:29:55
It was years, Yeah. Yeah, 'cause I think they're

01:29:59
already filming season 4 of Darrell Dixon, so they they

01:30:04
giving it to us. Just do it because it's just

01:30:08
like another show I just finished that nobody's watching

01:30:12
but Georgia and Jenny. There's a boy on the show.

01:30:16
My son watches it. Mike watches.

01:30:18
It OK, there's a boy on the show.

01:30:20
Like when it left off and how this season begin.

01:30:23
It's really supposed to be like 24 hours, but it's been a few

01:30:31
years and he was a kid. So now he's tall.

01:30:35
You're putting these glasses on and you try and put them in that

01:30:37
same classroom. And luckily the other kids who

01:30:41
were in the room with him, grown tooths.

01:30:43
But you're making them like they in second grade, but they look

01:30:46
like they in 8th. But you know, that's when you

01:30:52
have these gaps and you're trying to keep the same kid.

01:30:55
Yeah. Yeah.

01:30:57
And they don't want to do a time jump.

01:30:59
They do it, they do it. Because the daughter was also in

01:31:02
high school, so it was her sophomore year of high school,

01:31:06
but this boy went from 2nd grade to 8th grade.

01:31:10
They can always see what they did and lost with Michael.

01:31:13
Just write him out the show because he.

01:31:15
But you can't. You can't do.

01:31:17
Well, like a family matter. Two kids she has two kids I just

01:31:21
had to get. A loss reference here.

01:31:23
I know, but she has two kids. We can't just throw one away

01:31:25
because he is now taller than she is and the next season we

01:31:32
get he's going to be taller at the rate he's growing well.

01:31:38
So I don't know what they're going to do about that.

01:31:43
OK. So that's that means we need to

01:31:46
stop waiting so long. Like what are you waiting for?

01:31:49
Like for me I don't get why Bridgington takes so long

01:31:53
because. People doing the other projects.

01:31:56
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They be filming it and it's done

01:31:59
and there ain't no special effects, so there's none.

01:32:05
People got to write. They got to write.

01:32:06
But they failed it and we still don't have a date and there's no

01:32:10
special effects. Yeah, yeah.

01:32:14
I I just want to know. Because I it's different.

01:32:17
Stranger things have special effects.

01:32:18
I get it. Yeah.

01:32:20
So I understand like, no, I don't because I was going to say

01:32:27
I understand that when the pandemic happened, things kind

01:32:31
of changed and they had to do things differently.

01:32:34
But now pandemics been gone for like at at the very least four

01:32:39
years, everybody's been back on a regular filming schedule, blah

01:32:44
blah blah. So I just want to know what's

01:32:47
up. Because network TV can crank out

01:32:50
22 episodes in a season, take a summer hiatus, and come back 3-4

01:32:56
months later with another 22 episodes, right?

01:33:00
So I just need to know where where the big strangers who are

01:33:03
who are supposedly now getting all the money.

01:33:07
What are y'all doing? Right, 'cause I'm going to tell

01:33:10
you SVU and they in New York, they be filming, they be on it

01:33:16
and stories be popping. So SVU is in what, the 20 like

01:33:20
200 and 90th season by now season.

01:33:25
It's going a lot. They doing a lot of them.

01:33:27
Yeah, yeah, they. Don't have any special effects.

01:33:32
Don't, don't. So that means the shows that

01:33:34
don't have special effects should be able to come out.

01:33:37
Like Bridgerton, right? We don't.

01:33:40
Have Georgia and Jenny. They don't.

01:33:41
Have. Costume.

01:33:43
Yeah, Georgia. And.

01:33:45
Jenny took like 5 years to come back.

01:33:47
She's been in jail for five years.

01:33:48
That's what she was, that's. What I'm saying that there's no

01:33:52
special effect. It's just like the Gilded Age is

01:33:55
the same way Gilded Gilded Age takes like 2 years to come back.

01:33:58
I'm like Oh my God, one of my best.

01:34:00
Friends was complaining about that.

01:34:02
She was like I can't believe Max is making us wait till 9:00 PM

01:34:06
to watch this show. Like that's how we felt with the

01:34:08
Last of Us. I'm like I'm paying for the

01:34:10
streaming service and I still got to wait till 9:00.

01:34:14
At least with AMC at 3:00 AM which is midnight in LA.

01:34:19
OK if I want to watch my show I can watch it Max.

01:34:23
Nope. Absolutely not, Max.

01:34:26
But Mike, do you have anything else you want to talk about?

01:34:29
Do you feel sufficiently like you're back now you're you're

01:34:34
ready to jump back into things and.

01:34:36
Yeah, I'm, I think, yeah, I'm, I'm getting better.

01:34:43
I talked about it on my on my Facebook, but but those don't

01:34:47
know I was out because I had to have my prostate out because

01:34:52
they found cancer in my prostate.

01:34:54
I'm happy to report that the prostate didn't grow in my

01:34:57
prostate didn't grow. It was very it was still

01:34:59
contained in my prostate. So I'm going back every in about

01:35:03
next month to for another checkup just to check my levels.

01:35:08
For everybody listening, go get tested.

01:35:10
If you're over 50, you think most of us are 50 in our 50s

01:35:14
now. Welcome here.

01:35:16
Oh, that's right. Yeah.

01:35:18
Michelle. Oh.

01:35:19
But she doesn't have a prostate to check, so that doesn't apply

01:35:22
to. Her but yeah, from all my guys

01:35:24
get go go get go get a blister simple blood test and just make

01:35:28
sure that your that your levels are OK because it's like you

01:35:32
never know and it's better to catch it early than to catch it

01:35:34
late. And that's just my message.

01:35:38
I'm doing good. I'm glad I got it.

01:35:39
I'm glad I caught it early. My cousin early had went through

01:35:43
this or went through the same thing earlier this year, Like

01:35:47
no, last year, like late last year, he went through the same

01:35:50
thing, had the same surgery and do the same thing.

01:35:52
So he's been my cousin Eric Cook.

01:35:54
Shout out to him. He really helped me along with

01:35:57
my family, my friends, everybody's been really good.

01:36:01
So it's good to be back. Just, you know, now, now I gotta

01:36:06
make up all the money that I missed for a month and 1/2.

01:36:11
Yeah and yeah. Look, I think some of us need to

01:36:14
make up money and we didn't miss a month and.

01:36:17
That's. Correct.

01:36:18
Y'all going there? I'll go on cruise and vacations

01:36:19
and shit part. Well, that part too, but you

01:36:22
know. So I seen you.

01:36:23
I seen you. Yeah.

01:36:25
It's good to be back. I look forward, look forward to

01:36:27
recording on everything, including Ironheart, including

01:36:30
the last couple episodes of Real Time.

01:36:32
Yep, I'm looking forward-looking, forward to

01:36:34
recording and all that, and it's good to be back.

01:36:36
Yep, it's good to have you back. And we would definitely, now

01:36:41
that I think everyone has gotten vacations out of their system, I

01:36:45
think we can get back into, well, I don't think we can ever

01:36:48
get it out of our system, but I think our pocketbooks are

01:36:50
telling us to get it out of our system.

01:36:53
So I think we're going to go ahead and get those last three

01:36:57
episodes, Wheel of Time out the way.

01:36:58
We're going to start on Ironheart and then we are in

01:37:02
convention prep. So July 18th through 20th we

01:37:08
will be appearing at ATL Comic Convention.

01:37:11
We will be doing, I think amongst the three of us, there's

01:37:15
six panels that I know for sure that are being done for Walking

01:37:20
Dead panels, a Last of Us Season 2 discussion and Interview with

01:37:24
the Vampire Season 2 discussion. So we will be doing that July

01:37:28
18th through 20th. And then of course, you guys

01:37:31
know the big one for us, Dragon Con is coming up.

01:37:36
We don't have any confirmed panels yet that we can share.

01:37:42
Let me say that I do have 6 confirmed panels that I am on,

01:37:45
but we can't publish that yet until Dragon Con gives all of

01:37:50
the track directors approval to publish their schedule.

01:37:54
So once we have that information, we will bring that

01:37:58
to you. But for now, that is it for our
