Vaguely Inconsistent
Cartoons, Toys, And Tangents
Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!
Remember when a spring-loaded Ram Man felt like cutting-edge engineering and a die-cast Black Lion could anchor a whole afternoon? We dive straight into the golden era of after-school TV—Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-Man, Thundercats, Voltron—and the toys that made those worlds feel real. From Optimus with the trailer base to Constructicon chaos in a restaurant booth, we swap stories that prove why 80s cartoons were more than ads: they were rituals, soundtracks, and friendships that stuck.
Then we pull the thread into today. Which reboots actually honor the core? Thundercats 2011 earns some surprise love, while TMNT gets crowned for growing up with its audience—especially the 2012 run. We call out where live-action misses the brief (looking at you, Jem) and celebrate side classics like Inspector Gadget, Smurfs, and Robotech. A Ranker top-10 list sparks a proper fight about placement, and yes, G.I. Joe deserves better.
Our movie corner goes hard. A horror sequel squanders goodwill with flimsy character logic, while Tron Ares becomes a fascinating near-miss: slick 3D-printing visuals, a great hacker metaphor, a nostalgic Sark nod, but trouble anchoring the story and a rough box office. We debate what could have saved it and whether the franchise still has legs. Finally, the chaos of fantasy football swings the scoreboard overnight, and we wrap with weekly plans—karaoke, weddings, job hunts, and hoping the weather lets a game happen.
If you live for 80s cartoons, toy lore, smart reboots, and honest movie talk, you’ll feel right at home. Hit follow, share with a friend who still hums cartoon themes, and drop your top three 80s shows in a review so we can argue about it on the next one.

Hello. He men do be fucking a lot of people lately.
SPEAKER_00:Y'all jumped into a middle of a conversation about our homework from a month ago that we couldn't remember. But they Duke Duke Duke may have remembered it. But it's okay if he didn't remember it, you're just making shit up. It's gonna be correct. I don't remember.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. Yep. One way or another wrong if I don't know the correct answer.
SPEAKER_04:So you think it's only all that matters is what's he thinks it was uh cartoons.
SPEAKER_00:You thought it you thought it was top five 80s cartoons or just cartoons, period.
SPEAKER_04:I I mean I think we had done because we were I I if I remember correctly, it's because there was some sort of weird Transformers He-Man crossover that had come out that Jack was talking about. And so that led us into talking about I think cartoons, but I think more specifically 80s cartoons. But we don't have to limit it to 80s cartoons.
SPEAKER_00:I find limit it to whatever, but I we don't need homework. Do the shit on the fly.
SPEAKER_04:Oh Jesus. All right, what shitty memories? Hold on, I gotta bring up popular 80s.
SPEAKER_00:No, man, do it off memory. Do it off of memory.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, here's here's then you know they're top if it's off of memory.
SPEAKER_00:Go bots was not terrible.
SPEAKER_04:Here's here's a conversation we can have. Original Thundercats or rebooted the first reboot of the Thundercats.
SPEAKER_00:I'm gonna throw you out of the room. We watched that shit.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, actually, it comes up on my Facebook memories because I'm talking about Panthera dying or something. And he was like, motherfucker, stop spoiling chills. I haven't watched it yet.
SPEAKER_00:No, my first one. It's been 20, it's been 30 years. Stupid animation. And I thought that's what he was talking about. I was gonna throw him out a window. Didn't one come out like five years ago and the animation was just god-awful?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, but that's not what I'm talking about. There was another one that came out. Was it? Was that 2002, Jack? I mean, we were living together, I'm pretty sure.
SPEAKER_03:Or you're thinking of He-Man. For sure, a He-Man reboot came out while we were living together. Hang on. I'm looking it up right now.
SPEAKER_00:He-Man has been rebooted several times. There was one, there was one, Lou, because I we've got a lot of people. Other than the animation one on like Nickelodeon or something. Or CW.
SPEAKER_04:There was one. Let's see, where's the wiki? Give me my give me the wiki, got it, wiki.
SPEAKER_00:Where's the Gronkopedia? Wiki, wiki, wiki, wiki. We need some Gronkopedia.
SPEAKER_04:How many IMDB.
SPEAKER_00:Anybody in the chat know? Oh, wait, we don't have a chat. We only have comments. We're not live yet.
SPEAKER_04:There have been three main animated television series based on the Thundercats franchise. The original aired from 1985 to 89, followed by a reboot in 2011 that ran for two seasons, and a third series called Thundercats Roar, which is the one you're thinking of, Lou. That premiered in 2011.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah, there it is. I'm on IMDb now. Thundercats 2011-2012.
SPEAKER_04:Yep, 2011-201. Oh shit. Uh-oh. Lou's gonna start having some Twitches.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, damn, this guy. I can get a case of that at my Asian store.
SPEAKER_03:My Dyso doesn't have it anymore.
SPEAKER_00:No.
SPEAKER_03:Lou's gonna. You signed up for the Amazon subscription. Case every other month.
SPEAKER_00:If I if I okay, so I got you. So what else so what I heard was when I for Comic-Con driving down, bring back a case of Pokeswear with me. That's what I heard. Oh, it's on Hulu, so cool. The new one. The one from 2011-2012 that you're talking about. Yeah where apparently star character dies. I won't tell you who, because it's already been spoiled for me. I wouldn't want y'all to get spoiled. I was not aware of this. I didn't even hear about it. I do not I won't say anything here about it. I don't remember hearing about that route. That's cool. I might 26 episodes, I'll give it a shot.
SPEAKER_04:I actually really like the I think I liked it more than the original. I believe it's a reboot.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, so they so all of the origins and all that, none of that is the same.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. Yeah, I'm down.
SPEAKER_04:So because I don't even I don't even think they're on like Earth 2 or whatever. I mean, I again it's been 15 years.
SPEAKER_00:15 years, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:But I think it was worth they were on the same planet. Like Lionel's people get fucked up and he's like one of the only survivors, and then he has to like do his thing.
SPEAKER_03:And then he goes to Earth and Courtney Cox is there. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, no. Wait.
SPEAKER_00:Wait. Maybe I did watch this. Because that first part we were talking about Lionel. Lionel is going, it's like leaves the like there's problems going on. He's like younger and he's still learning how to be uh Lionel. I that that sounds familiar. When I start this, I it'll probably like, oh yeah, I've seen it. But I don't remember it, so I'll watch it again.
SPEAKER_04:But you asked if like Chitara had clothes on or some shit like that. You should watch it because it has uh the clone, it has Captain Rex in it.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, that's why I should watch it.
SPEAKER_04:No, I don't know. I was just trying to relate it to Star Wars somehow. Dude, it's got Chitara in it.
SPEAKER_00:What more do you need?
SPEAKER_04:That's fair. And that was uh that was voiced by Emmanuel Chakri.
SPEAKER_01:Chitara.
SPEAKER_00:I know those Emanuel movies.
SPEAKER_03:No, she was in um uh Entourage. Did you ever watch Entourage?
SPEAKER_00:Uh a couple episodes. I liked what I saw, just never really just got into it.
SPEAKER_03:Hold on. I'll just show you a picture of her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I go back when we were porn, we didn't always have it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. There we go. That's what she looks like. Are you showing us? She looks familiar.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, she was in a she's been in quite a bunch quite a few things. Uh Lincoln Lawyers, Superman and Lois.
SPEAKER_00:Uh that mean that people on video on YouTube watching this will see that picture that he put up? Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, that's cool.
SPEAKER_00:That's awesome. I like it.
SPEAKER_04:Boom. I think that's our first, like, boom, look at this picture.
SPEAKER_00:Interactive. Yeah, I know, right? It only took us a year and a half when we got there, folks. I'm sorry, a year and eight months. I'm wrong. All right. So I'll say eight months, 12 days. If you can remember a cartoon that you liked, 80s, preferably, but if you if it's later, like I can think of one already, that's later, um, that I liked, then you don't need to look it up. That's just cheating. Go by what you remember. It doesn't have to be a top five. Top ones that you remember. We can like take turns. The feels. What gives you the feels? Yeah. Obviously, OG Transformers. I'll start.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I mean OG OG Transformers.
SPEAKER_00:OG Transformers 84. Uh, I was in Japan uh when when that came out, uh, and it was awesome.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Um, I remember we I actually had it on um VHS when I was a kid. So I would watch like the they always put like the first four or five episodes on each tape or something. Yeah. I ran that shit out all day.
SPEAKER_00:And then what came back after the movie, uh the one tape was the first five episodes of the Five Faces of Darkness. Uh with the Quintusons. So yeah. I've got the series on Blu-ray, obviously.
SPEAKER_04:I remember. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_03:Go ahead. No, hit your memory before you forget.
SPEAKER_04:I remember there being like I was at school and I'm gonna say it was like a PTA raffle thing, and they had like the OG Optimus Prime with the trailer that turned into the the base and everything, and that was like the big prize. And I remember that shit being like so expensive, and you look back now, and it was like sixty dollars, and you're like, uh sold. Right. Today you'd be five. I'm buying five.
SPEAKER_00:You get that new one box, it's like sixty dollars.
SPEAKER_03:All the boys are getting one.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, today would today would be a Haslab for$7.50. Uh right. Um, but I remember too, they had um I got the Constructicons as like a birthday gift. We were at like some restaurant, and I'm like, yeah, the big box, the big box with all of them. And I remember like popping those bad boys out of the plastic like in the restaurant. And I was like, oh, this is probably not a great idea.
SPEAKER_03:No hindsight. All their little fists are flying off because the fists had to come off to transform them, and yeah, yeah. Now you only have like two fists for six robots.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:No, I remember getting um I got mine to turn into the gun. Megatron. Yeah. Back back when he turned into a silver fucking gun.
SPEAKER_00:I would say, yeah, because shockwave.
SPEAKER_03:I remember Hot Rod being a big thing.
SPEAKER_04:With the nine volt battery, you can't. Sorry, Lou.
SPEAKER_00:No, I was just saying, that the the other gun, Shockwave, the purple one, yeah, purple and gray, you could put a nine-volt battery in him and he would actually make noise right up.
SPEAKER_04:It was so the the toys were so innovative as far as like Shockwave having like the cassette or blaster having the cassette that would like pop out and you could switch out the cassettes and stuff like that. Now they'd be like, and it plays music.
SPEAKER_03:I'll tell you though, I never felt more badass as like a four-year-old kid as when I memorized the transforming sequence. Because when you first get it, you're reading the instructions, okay, turn his arm this way, then his head goes down.
SPEAKER_00:Wait.
SPEAKER_03:But once I memorized that shit, I was like, fuck yeah.
SPEAKER_00:What? I'm the smartest motherfucker here. You you read the instructions? Check you out.
SPEAKER_03:Those transformers all look like fucking Picasso and shit.
SPEAKER_00:Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Weirdly, every single one of them, an arm ends up their butt somehow.
SPEAKER_00:I've I I yeah, my shit was my shit was modern art transformers. Art transformers?
SPEAKER_03:It's like Megatron turned into a gun?
unknown:Weird.
SPEAKER_03:Mine always just had a huge cock.
SPEAKER_00:This one over here looks like a violin. It's not a car. But yeah, I had a I had a lot of originals, OGs, but uh when we moved from Japan to the States, the movers lost my box of toys, and it included a lot.
SPEAKER_04:Your box of toys. Yeah, right. You know what though? The reality is that Lou never actually played with any transformer toys. It was just his mom's used dildos. She'd just be like, okay, this one's worn out. It's it's Megatron. Look, I wrote Megatron on the side.
SPEAKER_00:Those were so hard to transform. It went from like a stick to a pole. That's the best I could do.
SPEAKER_04:He's like, This one's this one's shockwave. Don't tell me why I know that. Don't ask me why I know that.
SPEAKER_00:Oh no, it's a Megatron, alright.
SPEAKER_03:I still scare my children with uh your story of uh putting dish soap in the the dishwasher and your dad killing Grimlock.
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's no no two separate instances. That did happen with the dish dish soap and the dishwasher and not understanding what concentration and all that shit how that worked. That did happen. The Grimlock was I talked back.
SPEAKER_03:That's why that's right.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, Grimlock was supposed to mow the lawn and I talked back because I was busy transforming Grimlock. Yeah, Grimlock got transformed into a few thousand pieces after that.
SPEAKER_03:Fuck your Grimlock, son. You know what?
SPEAKER_00:Grimlock got literally hold on hold on. Grimlock got a touchdown spike after that, and then the lawn got cut immediately thereafter.
SPEAKER_04:Lou, real quick, if you would have read the goddamn directions, you would have been able to do both. Just saying.
SPEAKER_00:It's probably true. It wouldn't have taken me so long to figure out a Transformers ad but reading it was fine, it was comprehensive. You know how it is.
SPEAKER_04:No, yeah, Transformers for sure. Uh G.I. Joe. G.I. Joe is my channel. G.I. Joe, okay.
SPEAKER_00:That's okay. G.I. Joe. G.I. Joe, absolutely. It was uh second for me-ish. Uh, my that was more my brother's show. He was two years older than me. Uh, but probably after the first season or so, I'm with you. G.I. Joe was the bonk. Their messages every episode. This guy. Oh, mine's in the bedroom. Nice. It's your pantor. I remember that we had a five-parter as well.
SPEAKER_03:Right? Um, yes, I too like G.I. Joe. Uh, they probably had the best song out of all of our cartoons. Um, Gummy Bears. They bounce GI Joe's here and there and everywhere.
SPEAKER_02:G.I. Joe, right.
SPEAKER_03:Right. Care Bears was spent. Gummy Bears, yeah. Um A1B. 1A1B.
SPEAKER_00:I like how.
SPEAKER_03:I'd say that G.I. Joe is probably like third when it came to toys, at least when I was a kid. So I had more He-Man. Oh. And then Transformers. We're not counting Star Wars. Star Wars is its own beast. Yeah, yeah. Which is obviously number one. But when we go back to cartoons, it's probably He-Man Transformers GI Joe. I like that we're talking about cartoons.
SPEAKER_00:Cartoons are like advertisements. Oh, they probably were.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Outside of droids, which I never actually watched, there wasn't a there wasn't any Star Wars cartoons back then. So that wouldn't count in this conversation. So you're but you're right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Um, but G.I. Joe, it uh it lasted longer. Like, I don't think G.I. Joe ever died. Nobody in G.I. Joe. I remember getting up to like parachutes everywhere. Sixth grade, sixth, seventh grade, and I was still able to get like new G.I. Joe figures. So I don't think they ever went away. So like that's probably the figures I collected like the most or like the longest amount of time.
SPEAKER_04:Every single time a Hiss tank was going to blow up, everybody always managed to get off the Hiss tank before it blew up.
SPEAKER_00:Always. Airplane parachute.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. Parachutes. Plane never just exploded. A plane like sat there and was like, everyone eject. Okay. And now you jump.
SPEAKER_00:I was gonna say, yeah, it was it was like required TV because of the F FCC rules or whatever it was for children's television that they had because not only they escaped, they had to show the parachuter. Cracked me up.
SPEAKER_04:Uh until they killed Duke. Well that was the movie though. That was different.
SPEAKER_00:That is true. They get away with different things, man. Uh G.I. Joe. Yeah, I'm trying to think of I didn't have a lot. Most of the stuff that I had with with G.I. Joe was later again, because I was younger. Um was like the later stuff. All the dreadnought stuff. Um Zaymont and Tomax, the twins, all all that is where most of my uh toys came from. The later years. Okay, so here's the real question Scarlet or CoverGirl or Lady J, who's a girl? None of the above is.
SPEAKER_04:Lady J. Lady J. Yep, Lady J. Why? Because Flint was a pimp. Like you'd be like, you'd be like, okay.
SPEAKER_03:My man had a beret.
SPEAKER_04:Right. The man had a beret, and he was like still like, I'm just gonna walk around with a shotgun and just fucking wreckfuls the entire day. Right.
SPEAKER_03:Like you don't even know he was in charge. Everybody thought Duke was the leader. Flint was the leader the whole time, but nobody ever fucking said anything. Yep.
SPEAKER_04:They just all acknowledged it. Kind of like this podcast. I think I'm in charge, but we all know that Jack's the one actually in charge. I like Falcon. His brother? Right, brother?
SPEAKER_03:Lieutenant Falcon. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Don Johnson.
SPEAKER_03:I was always always down with the ninjas. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Still my jam.
SPEAKER_00:I think like everybody likes Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes was pretty bad. And then there was Quick Kick.
SPEAKER_03:Nice strong white superhero on TV that we need. Sergeant Slaughter. Big Lob. Big Lob. But Cobra did have some good cool dudes though. Cobra. I remember one of my favorites, uh the Ali Viper. He's like the orange and blue camo guy. Yeah. He was cool. Big Boa, because he came with a giant crocodile. Yep. The Desert Desert Vipers. He came on that big ass scorpion. And we've getting all those in uh classified lately too. I'm like, yes, this is what I thought my toys were when I was little.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, okay. That's me. That's all that's Transformers. That's G.I. Joe.
unknown:Jack.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. I remember one Christmas I got Castle Grey Skull, Snake Mountain, and an Adat. Best Christmas ever. I think I actually got the uh talking kit cartou from Knight Rider. That was a good Christmas. Dang. Sounds like be careful, Michael. That might have been my last good Christmas before my brother was born. Then suddenly Santa had less room in his sleigh for me. Man, yeah, he-man.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, you're right.
SPEAKER_03:He man is the jam though.
SPEAKER_00:Raman, we could see it.
SPEAKER_03:It was so easy for them because they just made one body. Painted that bitch different colors, put a different head on him. We bought all of them.
SPEAKER_00:The same fucking Arnold Schwarzenegger bodybuilder.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. That they tried to replicate with Luke in '95.
SPEAKER_00:Sure the hell did.
SPEAKER_04:Uh I rem I remember the battle damage T-Man and how cool I thought that was. Like that you just popped him in the chest and all of a sudden it was like spin around.
SPEAKER_03:And then another one, you got like another, I think it went like three different scars, and then the fixed one. Yeah. I used to tell people as we got older, because I still had the skeletal claws from that. I'm like, yep, that's from a Freddy Krueger toy.
SPEAKER_04:And they all believed me. You went to school with some dumb people.
SPEAKER_03:Yes. Yes, I did.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um I had. I had Falk. I'm trying to think of the He-Man characters that I remember having.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And it was obviously He-Man and Skeletor, Battle Cat, uh Panthors, Mothman, Mothman, uh, Trapjaw, Manny Heads, Ram Man. Manny Faces, that's right. Many faces, Ram Man. I like the the Ram Man hit his finger, hit his ankle or heel, and he would spring up.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he'd jump.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I think it was cool.
SPEAKER_03:And even when we were five.
SPEAKER_00:The guy that had he was like blue and gray Strados. Yeah, that dude.
SPEAKER_04:Strados. Stratos.
SPEAKER_00:I remember having him too.
SPEAKER_04:Uh Fisto was funny even way back then.
SPEAKER_00:Fisto. Yeah, Fisto was ridiculous. Uh there was a one- What was the one?
SPEAKER_03:Stink Or the Skunk Dill stuck up your whole toy box? Um and Moss Man having little stinky ass babies. What what what was the G.I. Joe stink?
SPEAKER_00:Beast man? Was that just all they called him?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, the orange dude. Yeah, Beastman.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, I'm trying to, I was like, I'm trying to think of his name. I'm like, what was that beast dude that was orange?
SPEAKER_03:He was a beast man.
SPEAKER_00:Um, what is it? Ooh. Is it Man and Arms?
SPEAKER_04:Tila or Evil Lynn.
SPEAKER_00:Evil Inn.
SPEAKER_04:Wait, wait, sayn.
SPEAKER_00:Evil Inn. Not even close. Evil N. It's like going back to Gilbert.
SPEAKER_03:I love big titty goth bitches since I was a kid.
SPEAKER_00:That's what I'm saying. Go back to G.I. Joe. Take all of them G.I. Joe girls. I'm taking Baroness over all of them.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, 100%. Yep.
SPEAKER_04:That must be a Gen X thing.
SPEAKER_00:Death Struggy.
SPEAKER_04:That's a Sienna Miller and the G.I. Joe movies thing.
SPEAKER_00:Tail off to the na. Yeah. Because I didn't see I didn't see that movie until later, and I was already into Goth Chicks. Still am. I don't even care. I'm 50. Open 20. Let some 21-year-old goth girl show up. He could be friends.
SPEAKER_04:Open, I mean, besides uh Zarana, there was never um never any other girls. No, that show was right? Yeah. Besides Baroness and uh Zarana, right?
SPEAKER_03:It was Zartan or it was check that they just had um the exclusive NYCC of the wing check that came in with uh Cobra Law. Of the um of the the why can't I think of her name right now? I don't know. I just spent money on buying her. I forget what her name was, though.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. I mean, but again, the movie I think is a different animal because like the cartoon itself only really had Baroness until later on when they had uh Xandar and Zaranna, right? Pythana. Yeah, there we go.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, that's right. That's right.
SPEAKER_04:I'm trying to think of any other Cobra girls. And that I mean, like Baroness just probably killed them before they actually became anything.
SPEAKER_03:She puts up there all after Dustro. She's like, nah, son, stay off of my shiny man.
SPEAKER_00:That chronom is mine. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:He rich. When this cobra ship fizzes out.
SPEAKER_00:Right.
SPEAKER_03:We're gonna be rich and chillin' somewhere.
SPEAKER_00:Alright, Duke, you mentioned mask.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I had the green motorcycle helicopter thing.
SPEAKER_04:I had a bunch of them. I had the gas station, the um the Mustang. I remember that one with the wings.
SPEAKER_00:I remember a car. I think there was a car where like the doors opened up like a DeLorean so it could fly or something. I had that too.
SPEAKER_04:Um I was poor. There was an SUV that like the back part where the cab, the cab over would pop up and guns would come out, and it became like a turret.
SPEAKER_00:That's cool.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they were always cool. I only had the gas station though.
SPEAKER_00:I never was the gas station a place at, or is it some kind of like tanker? Are you talking about a tanker truck?
SPEAKER_03:Three motorcycle wheels or something.
SPEAKER_04:That's kind of cool. Because it had like a turret that would fire. Yeah, it would have a turret that would fire tires.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, then for me it would be uh I guess it's a toss it, but I'll go with Jim. Jam and the holograms. Truly outrageous. It really was. That was that was so good.
SPEAKER_03:It's one of the end of the song and everything. I found like me this back in like the 80s, and you're like, why am I watching a girl cartoon? It's fucking awesome. That's why.
SPEAKER_00:And they had songs, dude. They're writing on that show. They had songs every episode. The musicians, the misfits, going oh my god, that show. It's one of the few Funko pops. I I I don't always just think with Star Wars. Uh, I have a few randoms here and there, and the ones they made for Jim are some of the randoms. So that show was was I I could go back. I was very disappointed in the movie. Uh when they made the movie, however many years ago that was.
SPEAKER_04:The live action one or the cartine?
SPEAKER_00:The live action movie.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I was like, I I just it's it's kind of like these live action remakes of all these Disney properties. I want to see the cartoon in live action. I don't want to see a new story. I don't want to see any of the bullshit. And they played around with it. I understand they're trying to do a little bit of creativity. They played around with it too much that it ruined it. And it was like, no, give me the freaking original cartoon in live action. And I think they were hoping, oh, if it's good, then we'll lean towards that. I'm like, yeah, no, you gotta just give them what they want.
SPEAKER_03:You gotta be good first. Yes, and then you can experiment.
SPEAKER_00:Exactly. Acolyte, learn something.
SPEAKER_03:All right, Jack, give us another.
SPEAKER_00:Jack, yeah, you got another one that comes to mind.
SPEAKER_04:It was very obscure, but it was called Sky Commandos. I thought you were gonna say it was very obscure. Teenage Mutant Ninja Shirtles. No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_00:I thought I was gonna say Centurion.
SPEAKER_04:I I that was gonna be on my list. So Centurions were badass.
SPEAKER_03:No, but Sky Commandos were that. That's the guy who was like ziplines. Yeah, they all had zip lines and you like put them all across your room and just zip line them all down everywhere.
SPEAKER_00:What the hell? I don't remember that at all.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, so the vehicles did it, and then each of them had a thing on their arm, too, that had like a rubber band, and you clip it and they all zip line down everywhere. So that's some white people shit.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, it is. My first think of it is fucking white people on the Alps or something.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, look at that. Look what look what I'm gonna do again.
SPEAKER_03:Boom!
SPEAKER_00:Boom, nothing.
SPEAKER_03:It's coming. Yeah, Sky Commanders, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yep, not familiar with that at all.
SPEAKER_04:Well, and it came with string, but like you said, you could use fishing string and you could do them wherever.
SPEAKER_00:And okay.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, and there was a cartoon about it.
SPEAKER_04:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:Pretty sure, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Well, again, it was the 80s. Everything, everything, everything. Every single cartoon was merchandising, merchandising, merchandising.
SPEAKER_02:That is the truth.
SPEAKER_04:It only had one season. Um I'm gonna go Robotech. I used to get up early in the morning because I would watch Robotech before Transformers. Because they they used to have it on. I think it was Cartoon Network, like way like OG Cartoon Network would have Robotech. It'd be like Robotech, Voltron, and then Transformers. So I guess I'll do a two-for-one there. Robotech and Voltron. I never saw any of the Robotech stuff, but dude, their toys were the best.
SPEAKER_00:They did have good toys. I was gonna say, because I'm all like, you were alive when that show came out, because I was watching that in Japan on channel 13, Far East Network, and I had a couple of those Robotech uh looking like Jet Fire from Transformers or other way around.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, Jet Um Yeah, Jet Fighter. Uh not it was Jet the White One.
SPEAKER_00:The white and red one in Transformers was Jetfire or Skyfire, depends on what version you're looking at. Uh and he was basically because there was a whole lawsuit and everything when they when the Transformers made him.
SPEAKER_04:When Hasbro made him also, Robotech was 1985. So yeah, that's completely in the realm of getting up early and watching. Because it was always one of the it wasn't like one that they would show in the afternoon. Like it wasn't an afternoon one, because I don't think there was the US didn't know how to like market it correctly, but yet they wanted to have it like in the cycle.
SPEAKER_00:And what am I thinking of that was before? Macross something?
SPEAKER_04:Maybe some of them I mean there were a bunch of them that were all in that same kind of same sphere.
SPEAKER_00:For sure. But you know, Robotech was good. I mean, it's just that whole Japanese thing, because it was it was uh Voltron, Robotech, Ultraman, Grandizer, all those that I was watching from 83 to 86. One of them fuckers, whichever one it was, came out in the 70s, and it was cool. Maybe it was Gundam. I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:Some Japanese shit.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, exactly. It was some Japanese stuff that was already gone when I got there in '83, so.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Uh there's a um there's a YouTube channel I watch called um Japanese shit. Yeah, Japanese shit. It is. Give me one second. Alright, Lou, give us your next and then I'll give you the channel name.
SPEAKER_00:She R.
SPEAKER_04:Okay.
unknown:Okay. Alright.
SPEAKER_03:Another girl cartoon. I felt dirty watching, but I'm like, I kind of dig this.
SPEAKER_00:I didn't feel dirty at all. I was 11 and starting to have puberty, and She-Ra was hot. She were. She were. Probably why I like all these white women watching Jem and Shea were growing up.
SPEAKER_03:There has to be some kind of correlation with that.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I'm trying to think of a cartoon that's a very good one. She won't be kind of a brown person?
SPEAKER_03:You were.
SPEAKER_00:What cartoon had a brown woman in it?
SPEAKER_03:None of them did.
SPEAKER_00:Closest you might have uh Jem, I think one of the girls in no, I'm thinking of X-Men. That's Jubilee. What's one of the Misfits? They were all white? Oh, they were all white too, the Misfits. Zaz, Stormer.
SPEAKER_03:Speaking of goth bitches.
SPEAKER_00:Punk. They weren't goth, they were punk. I wish they were goth. I would have liked them instead of Jim.
SPEAKER_04:So the uh the channel that I follow on YouTube is called Secret Galaxy, and they do like history of different pop culture things. So they've done like a whole history of Voltron, a whole history of all the different versions of Robotech and stuff like that. And like the all of the Robotech stuff and all of even like the Transformer stuff to one degree or another, like is so fucking convoluted with the way the licensing and everything worked back then. Like people suing each other, licensing rates changing because companies got bought, but then like they didn't train, like it was pretty. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. So um, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Jim, good one. All right, Jack. Um OG, it wasn't a lot of toys, but smurfs. That shit was on all the time when it was when it first pertained.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, because you could step on that screen like they were Legos. They made these little tiny fuckers, every little one you could think of.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Even ones that never were on the show.
SPEAKER_00:They were they were durables before they made dorables.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Applause. They were the whole reason applause even fucking existed was because of the Smurfs toys.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I never had them, but I loved watching the Smurfs.
SPEAKER_00:Goth is fast.
SPEAKER_03:It was. But when Smurfett came on, she was a goth bitch first, and then them Smurfs changed to a white girl.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, Smurfett's Smurf at the whore.
SPEAKER_04:Um I'm gonna go inspect her gadget. I'm gonna go Inspector Gadget.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, good call. Man, they another one that had a good theme song.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. Didn't own a bunch of the toys, but watch the watch the shit out of it.
SPEAKER_00:Another one that I off that I off uh off the beaten path with the Star Wars Uncle Pops, and I have all the uh Inspector Gadget Uncle Pops, including the chase. Uh two chases, actually. That one was yeah. It was so stupid.
SPEAKER_03:I can watch James punching his cat and shit in a cartoon form.
SPEAKER_00:This is great. Although I didn't know it was James Bond in a cartoon form until I started watching James Bond because I watched Inspector Gadget first.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, like this motherfucker's just like Inspector Gadget's.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I was like, copy cat and mofo.
SPEAKER_03:He has a helicopter come out of his hat.
SPEAKER_00:Right. It's like you're gonna have this. Bad guy with a cat. I'm like, oh okay. Alright, Dr. No. Cheater.
SPEAKER_04:And Brain. Like w when you name your dog Brain, like, right?
SPEAKER_00:Fucking Panty and Brain. That was so good. Missed message. And that whole what was it? Uh oh, I'm trying to still wasn't dragging it. The one who who did the voice, he made it sound like that old 70s, 80s shop show. There we go. That one.
SPEAKER_04:It was Don um Don Fuck. Not Don Fuck.
SPEAKER_00:Did he actually voice Inspector Gadget? Yeah, he did. Oh, holy hell, I didn't know that. I just thought he was just some voice actor who was trying to emulate that.
SPEAKER_04:No, it was him from Get Smart.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I think it's I learned something new.
SPEAKER_04:Don Adams. Don Adams, there we go. I kept thinking Don Knots, and I'm like, nope, that's the incredible Mr. Linbeth totally different.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. Bernie Barney Fife. There we go. Andy Griffith show.
SPEAKER_00:I was like, I can see Matlock, but I can't think of the name of the freaking show. Uh, what else? What else we got? Damn, that's a good pull, Inspector Gadget. I don't think I would have thought of it.
SPEAKER_04:This is a name thing, because uh like stuff was put in front of me because of my name, but uh Alvin and the Chipmunks.
SPEAKER_00:I hated that shit.
SPEAKER_04:Alvin's annoying. He hates me, is what I'm hearing. Alvin. Wow.
SPEAKER_00:Alvin, no, Alvin was so freaking annoying. Even this Christmas song, I like that Christmas song. But Alvin's annoying. He's a rebel. Alvin Simon Is that what you want to call it? A rebel? He's a tool.
SPEAKER_04:When I was in um when I was in high school, I had a friend, his name was Simon, and then we had a third friend. So we called ourselves the chipmunks because you had Alvin Simon. We had Simon and Theodore, and so even though the other guy's name was like Tim or something like that. But we were close enough. Back in middle school, you didn't give a fuck. You were just like, ah, close enough.
SPEAKER_00:I would have called him Alvin the whole time. Like, why is the thick name Alvin? Figure it out, man. Right? It's like not a hard one to figure out. I'm trying to think because like when I got home, I would watch. We haven't you know why we haven't mentioned it? Because we talked about earlier with Thundercats.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. But it was it was Thundercats, G.I. Joe, He-Man, and Transformers were like Jam, She-Ra. They were the main ones that were on that I remember, whether it be after school or on the weekend. After school was definitely remembered G.I. Joe and Transformers. Because I always remember the stupid and knowing is half the battle. And I always remember the one, there's always two that I remember. The fire one, um with the one where a kid falls off the cliff and he's taught how to scissor his legs and or to stay afloat and all that. Those two. The tread water always fetched me. Yeah, the treading water.
SPEAKER_03:The one that I always remember is the girl that got sunburned. She's like, oh, I'm gonna put butter on while we sunbathe. And a friend's like, you look like a lobster. And then uh fucking uh what's his name? The the medic dude comes out, he's like, Doc. Yes, make sure you use a fucking doc. His name's Doc, Doc.
SPEAKER_00:The doctor guy. You know, it's like the beast, the medical, the medical professional that was on the G.I.
SPEAKER_03:Joe. It's like, make sure you use sunscreen and don't stay out in the sun too long. And they're like, thanks, Doc. Now we know.
SPEAKER_00:And knowing does have to be G.I. Joe.
SPEAKER_03:Alright, back to Japanese shit. Voltron. Hell yeah. Uh, which version of Voltron though? Lions. Cars and some bitches.
SPEAKER_00:I I was gonna say it's gotta be lions.
SPEAKER_04:Uh who was your favorite lion?
SPEAKER_00:The black one. The black one. Come on now. Uh no kings.
SPEAKER_03:No, I love that shit. I um I did it, I had the the die cast ones that all stuck together and you could actually put the figures in it and shit. It's probably like six thousand dollars or something.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, that die cast, that shit was heavy.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it was. It lasted a long ass time too. Didn't they have like the lions?
SPEAKER_00:You'd pull out a piece, then it stuck in the case. Yeah, their tails.
SPEAKER_03:I think it was their their tails.
SPEAKER_00:I was gonna say that too, so it wasn't. But uh that shit was so cool.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. And then I remember watching the cartoon because it didn't make sense to me that the that the princess was on the blue lion. I'm like, oh that's fucking stupid. The blue guy goes in the blue lion. She goes in something else, like the red lion or something. Because their colors match. I didn't pay attention to the cartoon.
SPEAKER_00:Well, she's a girl, red closer to pink.
SPEAKER_04:Right? Uh I mean, I'll have to go yellow, because you know, big guy. So Hunk. Hunk. Yep. I always felt scene.
SPEAKER_03:Well, the black line was my favorite, but I always like Pidge too.
SPEAKER_04:You didn't know you were into nerdy little girls back even back then. Like stature-wise, not like little.
SPEAKER_03:I feel like he was a dude when we were kids. Netflix made him a girl.
SPEAKER_00:Correct.
SPEAKER_04:Hang on. Green Lion. There's only been two. Katie, Pidge, Holt, and Trigel.
SPEAKER_00:Trigel.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. I don't know who Trigel is.
SPEAKER_00:That's not like that.
SPEAKER_04:Trigel was the original Green Paladin. So that was pre but Pidge, Pidge's first name was Katie. So even in the old school cartoon, huh? Yeah. Yep, that's what it says. Yep. I'm on the I'm on the uh Voltron wiki right now. So okay. I'm guessing they're gonna argue with that.
SPEAKER_00:I'm not surprised that they have their own.
SPEAKER_04:I we I mean, this was something more of just kind of a Saturday morning thing, but I re I remember first thing in the morning on Saturdays, they would always have the Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, all of the old school cartoons.
SPEAKER_00:All those old school Hanna Barbera as well. I mean they were the jam.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. Oh, you can't argue those. Those were the tilts. Until Adult Swim ruined them and made them so much better than they ever were.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm. Don't get it.
SPEAKER_04:Um were you guys ever big Scooby-Doo guys?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah. Hanna Barber Bear, all the jams. Scooby, Flintstones, Jetsons.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I was gonna say Jetson.
SPEAKER_03:All of them shit jam.
SPEAKER_00:Uh yeah, all that. All those typical WB and Hannibal Bear, all that. Snaggle Puss, uh, the whole the whole nine. They were fantastic. Hell, I even like the old school Justice League. Meanwhile, that that voiceover guy, man, he was the best.
SPEAKER_04:He was meanwhile at the Hall of Doom. Is that the Hall of Doom?
SPEAKER_00:The Hall of Justice. The bad guy's had a Hall of Doom.
SPEAKER_04:Not Temple of Doom. What would it have been? It was the Although the one that should have been the Temple of Doom.
SPEAKER_00:You know, the the annoying thing, I I like a lot of people hate the twins. I like the twins. The part that was annoying with the twins, it was always the fucking bucket and water. I know one of them does like, you know, form of sponge. Shape of and then a bucket and then form of. I know they have their own little uh niches where they both can't do the same thing or something like that. Uh but I got sick of a bucket and water and gleek putting out a fire. It was like, good lord. Mix it up. Turn into a fire extinguisher. Shape of a gun. Form of a bullet. Let's do this. Gleek, shoot a fool. Blast them bitches.
SPEAKER_04:Uh actually, it was the Hall of Doom, is the headquarters of the Legion of Doom.
SPEAKER_00:Okay.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Should have been the Temple of Doom. But I always screaming anywhere. That's a show that it should be on HBL Max, you would think. That's a show that I'd probably go back to the city.
SPEAKER_03:You would think, but they've been like killing all their cartoons over there. They're like Scooby-Doom Flintstones. Fuck them. Gone.
SPEAKER_00:Man, that sucks. This wasn't 80s, but a cartoon that I remember as I started getting older. Fucking animatiacs, man.
SPEAKER_04:Well, if we want to if if we're done with the 80s, I mean, do we want to talk about TMNT real quick? Well, yeah, obviously. Okay.
SPEAKER_00:I figured that was Star Wars, but TMNT, TMNT was that was happening. TMNT was a.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. And it's always it's only gotten better. Like the was it 2002 remake? Was amazing. Nice and dark and more grown up. Even though it was still a Saturday morning cartoon.
SPEAKER_00:That's the main thing with TMNT. They grew up with their audience. Like you liked it in the 80s. Well, your ass is 40 now, so we're gonna make a or 35, whatever. At the time, we're gonna make the show for that audience. We knew who her audience is.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. And it sticks with the kids. Because um, when my oldest was little, um, like I said, we putty trained her with Ninja Turtle toys. Like if she did good, she got ninja turtle toys. She loved it. Should I just had to buy her the new NECA figure too because it came with ice cream kitty? Um, I'm like, here's your$40 Michelangelo. I mean$40 ice cream kitty with Michelangelo accessory. Right.
SPEAKER_00:For real. Jack has the Michelangelo in his office and she's got the kitty in hers.
SPEAKER_03:But that was actually a good one too. I didn't like the the designs on them at first, but the 2000, I think it's 12. I think it's 12. That version of Ninja Turtles is probably the best version of Ninja Turtles. If you get bored, you know, like you're unemployed or something, you need something to watch, just check it out.
SPEAKER_00:I'll have to keep that in mind for next time. Next time. Tomorrow.
SPEAKER_03:But even like back the original, I mean, just creepy monsters, right? Like that's what we were into when we were kids. And Ninja Thrills was full of creepy monsters.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Now I'm going, I'm going down this way tangent. I uh monsters. No, no, chatting with mom earlier today. Dad took a left turn downhill fast. Uh we'll get into that later, but it just made me think I was like, in case like, why did Lou look out spacey all of a sudden? It's like, because he chatted with his mom this morning and he wants to strangle her ass, but whatever.
SPEAKER_04:Let's go back to the cartoons real quick and then okay, what's yeah? Alright, so this is a site called Ranker, and this is the best 80s cartoons voted by people. Like you can go.
SPEAKER_00:Wait, wait, wait, are you going ten down or one up?
SPEAKER_04:I mean, I can go I can go twenty up.

SPEAKER_00:Transformers. Yeah. Alright. Good list. For the most part. G.I. Joe needs to move up on that list.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Well, we just need to go to the site and upload it, and then it'll move up.
SPEAKER_03:Oh yeah. Um, wait, wait, wait, put in another one for DuckTales. We don't want it to beat DuckTales, but it's not.
SPEAKER_00:Right, exactly. DuckTales, tailspin. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_04:And I don't want to sound like a sports radio dude or whatever, but I mean, but again, this is also like my team. Like, this is just win-loss, win-loss, win-loss. That's been their their MO all season.
SPEAKER_03:So not that it would have helped a lot, but I mean Brock and um Jacoby were out. Well, and Max got hurt in the first quarter. And Max got hurt. Yeah. So I don't know. We got to buy next week, so maybe his neck, his back, his knee, and his crack.
SPEAKER_00:They they can't they can't lose next week. Good job.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. I know. It's gonna be a good week. Nice quiet Sunday with your A plus drought. It's gonna be like Friday. You get fired on your day off. The raiders still lose.
SPEAKER_00:Right, for real.
SPEAKER_03:We had a bottom. Gino threw a fucking interception.
SPEAKER_04:Are you are you of the camp that it's time to bench Gino or are you he hasn't done it?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. You you trade it for Kenny Pickett. Go see what he can do.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, what do you have to lose? Fuck it. It can't be any worse, right?
SPEAKER_00:Well, Pittsburgh got rid of him for a reason, so yes. Well, I mean But I but I would check him out though. Find out. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. Man.
SPEAKER_03:I don't know. We're playing Jacksonville next, so at home, after the bias, so maybe that'll be a good game.
SPEAKER_00:Uh Jacksonville fell off the fucking cliff. Oh they were doing all that. Carolina's picking it back up.
SPEAKER_04:The emotional hangover of uh beating the Chiefs, I'm sure, was is something, you know.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. What apps.
SPEAKER_04:Lou, you gotta hope you gotta hope the Jets fucking turn it around, or else you're not getting. Let's see, what's the current draft order? Now that since we drafted today.
SPEAKER_00:Let's see, it would be the Jets and Titans.
SPEAKER_04:Uh Jets would have the number one pick. The Ravens would have the number two pick right now.
SPEAKER_00:Ravens, wow.
SPEAKER_04:Browns have three, Titans have four, Dolphins have five, New Orleans has six. You would have the seventh pick.
SPEAKER_00:The Giants have the seventh. That's fine. Top ten, just stay there.
SPEAKER_04:Uh Cardinals would be eight. Raiders would be nine. So they aren't even getting a good draft pick right now. Right? Again, like I told you, dude, it's gonna be the competition of the eight and nine teams at the end of the season. We're gonna we're fucking doing, we're gonna have so many uh tiebreakers we're gonna have to figure out.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's not even a joke. There's so much mediocrity. I mean mediocrity, mediocrity and freaking NFL right now. Why can't they be the Dodgers? There's not one team that's the Dodgers out there. Stupid salary caps.
SPEAKER_03:Salary caps.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. Oh, that reminds me. Anybody know that?
SPEAKER_03:Done.
SPEAKER_00:I was like, I'm gonna look it up. Unless you guys know who won tonight's game. Last time I saw was 5-0 Toronto over Seattle.
SPEAKER_04:Uh Toronto won. So there's game seven's tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00:So game seven tomorrow.
SPEAKER_04:Toronto won tonight, uh, game seven tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00:All right. Winner two.
SPEAKER_03:That shit was funny. I was watching it at work Thursday, and they were like, oh, hopefully Toronto's bats can wake up. And then they fucking stomped Seattle that night. I'm like, damn. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:I'm hoping I don't care about either team in Seattle and Toronto, but I think I'm rooting for Seattle. So the Dodgers don't have to travel those far. Being a Dodgers fan. It makes it easy for them. Alright.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. Keeping in the time zone.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. East Coast would hate it if you have two West Coast teams, but whatever. Fuck them. Exactly.
SPEAKER_04:I get up every morning at I get up every Sunday at 10 a.m. for them. So fuck them.
SPEAKER_00:Oh bruh. I love I miss I miss the 10 o'clock kickoff.
SPEAKER_04:Well, you could fix it.
SPEAKER_03:Just saying. Um shit. What else? Um oh, we went to go see. I was gonna say movies. Yeah. Um so we watched the first one again last night because my oldest hasn't seen it. So we watched it. Awesome horror movie. Like a psychological thriller kind of shit. Definitely recommend it. Second one, even better. Oh, it kind of turned into like a just watching the the trailers, you can see it's kind of like it turns into he's like he's almost Freddie Krueger, because they're talking about like dreams and all this shit happening in the real world. Um, but no, both those movies, top-notch horror films. I super recommend it. Ethan Hawk is amazing as the grabber. Even though you don't get to see his face most of the time.
SPEAKER_00:But see, now you got me looking to see where it's where's your streaming?
SPEAKER_03:Peacock. We watched that on Peacock last night.
SPEAKER_00:There we go. So maybe that that'll be my uh tomorrow.
SPEAKER_03:I know tomorrow we're gonna go see the secret movie. So we'll see what that is. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I thought oh shit, I better check. Because I got the secret movie too, but I thought it was next week.
SPEAKER_03:There is one next week. There's one tomorrow and next week. Okay. 20 and 27.
SPEAKER_00:I didn't see an option for tomorrow. Uh, but I do have the one for next week. I wonder if I could still get it. Like a lot of people don't go to them. Like, there's always empty seats. Shit, look. I'm about to right now, even though there's two Money Night Football games that I would miss. Which at least they're doing it right this time. There's a five and an eight. Well, my time, five and eight.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Which is the way it should be. I hate this. Five and six. No! Put that shit up. Okay. Monday. Oh! Secret movie, seven o'clock. Are there tickets? Are there tickets? One, two, three, four, five, six. Only seven tickets have sold. Okay, I guess. Uh I'm not thinking.
SPEAKER_03:What's the rating of the movie?
SPEAKER_00:Oh, good thing.
SPEAKER_03:R. Nice. Both weeks are R. Yeah. So we're not taking little one.
SPEAKER_00:Next week is definitely R.
SPEAKER_03:Which is funny. Last night she watched Black Phone, but when I showed her the trailer for two, she's like, nah, I'm out.
SPEAKER_00:I'm hoping it's the Emma Stone Alien movie.
SPEAKER_03:That's what I was thinking.
SPEAKER_00:At least next week. Marconi three weeks, so I'm thinking next week might be the alien movie. This week, I don't know what a radar movie is coming out. This week or next week, rather. But yeah, now that I know if that's a thing, uh, I will probably uh check with Bill Girl, see if she wants to go. I'm guessing she's gonna say yes. And we'll just watch the first half of the uh well, she's just gonna work till six.
SPEAKER_03:Hey baby, you want to go on a date? Nah, it's fine. That's fine. It's not our next together anyways. It's fine, whatever.
SPEAKER_04:Stay at home.
SPEAKER_00:Say your ass here, I'm gone.
SPEAKER_04:Did did uh did you guys watch 28 years later? Oh my god!
SPEAKER_00:Oh my god. I did it was horrible!
SPEAKER_04:You but you saw exactly what my problem was with it, right?
SPEAKER_00:That first half hour of cutting, whoever edited this movie, don't fire them, burn them, pour gasoline over the top of them, and get a Razzie.
SPEAKER_03:Fuck that.
SPEAKER_00:Oh my god. It was just like Ugh, that first ten minutes of their them doing all I was like, Alright, I'll see how this plays out. And then there's no point of the whole thing. It was like, really? So all this was a setup for well, I was hoping it was because now there's Boneyard coming out or some shit.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. We saw a trailer for 28 years later, they're still Bone Castle or something.
SPEAKER_04:I still need to watch the second half of it. I have not done that yet. Wow, that bad, huh? I Yes. It was that bad. So, Jack, are you okay with spoilers? I mean, it's not really spoilers because I'm just gonna be super broad about it, but Yeah, that's cool. Go ahead. My biggest problem, and again, it's just it we've talked about this before in movies. I really hate the like I'm a boy and I'm going or I'm a kid and I'm just gonna fucking wreck everything because of this this thing that is just conceived through the like I'm gonna burn this place down that I live. Like, I I hate the trope of like I'm gonna save somebody and I'm gonna do all this fucked up shit to do it, and it's all contrived and like convoluted, and you're just like and now like things are gonna get fucked up and people are gonna die because he didn't like listen to his dad or some shit. And I'm just like, I that shit just drives me crazy. Of like, this is the whole impetus of the movie. Everything was fine until he decided, oh, I'm gonna go do this thing. Like, I I don't know. I have a really I it just yeah to me, it's just a really hard thing.
SPEAKER_00:When I was watching it, I was all like, if Duke gets irritated at kids before this movie is not helping.
SPEAKER_04:Like you've already proven two nights ago I watched it, and it was like you you've you've you've already proven that you can't fuck a hand fucking handle yourself out in the woods. So what do you do? You turn around and you open up the fucking doors, and then you let then you fucking take your mom out, and then you go, oh, I can't handle myself in the woods still, because I'm I'm a giant puss. Like, because I already did for real.
SPEAKER_00:It was like the first 10-15 minutes told you exactly where he was and what his skill set was and all that, and then all of a sudden, oh I'm over it. I'm fine. Yeah, get the hell out of here.
SPEAKER_04:And and it would be one thing if he came out and was a fucking badass and was just like boom, boom, boom, and his dad's like, holy shit, like you did great out there, right? And then he was like, Oh, okay, I've now proven myself now. To me, that would have made more sense as far as the structure of the movie goes. But when he's already out there and has already almost gotten killed multiple times, except for the fact that his dad was with him, like, and then just to go, well, I'm just gonna take my mom out, even though she's fucking crazy and I know she's crazy, like, and I'm gonna light the I'm gonna light the one shop on fire that everybody on the island uses, because fuck all those people. Like I don't know. It just yeah, I mean I'll probably end up watching it at some point. I need that kid to die.
SPEAKER_03:That's too bad because 28 Days Later was a masterpiece. Yeah, 28 days.
SPEAKER_04:But I you know what? It in in in hindsight, I kind of feel like it's almost like a Star Wars thing. Like you got 28 Days Later, which was a great movie. You fast forward 20 years later, the the director, the writer, all of these people are in different head spaces, and then you get the prequels, right? Because it's the same bullshit. It's oh, it's this one boy that's gonna fucking change everything, and he's gonna do all this weird stuff, right? Like it wasn't as blatant in in um Phantom Menace, but the same type of thing. It's like, oh, we're gonna focus on this one kid who's going to change everything or do some but the way that they handled it in 28 years later, I feel was a lot more frustrating.
SPEAKER_00:I like that they didn't tell us what happened with the color, two-color eyed kid from the second.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, 28 years ago, we don't care. Fuck that guy.
SPEAKER_00:Well, technically it would be like 26 years ago, right?
SPEAKER_03:Whatever.
SPEAKER_00:Because is it 28 years later from the second one, or is it 28 years later from the original? From the original.
SPEAKER_03:I think it's from the original. I think it's from the original like blood falling into that dude's eyeball back in 28 days later.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. I was gonna say, I think that's exactly right. I think they explained that. That they talk about, you know, this happened, and then now we're 28 years later, and they just kind of skip the middle movie. But shit happened in the middle movie that was relevant, and I like that movie, and I want to know how it played out.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So it's like Tron Aries. That's the Tron Ares of the 28th later series.
SPEAKER_00:Wait, has everybody seen Tron yet?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Jack?
SPEAKER_04:I'm guessing, Jack. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, I could you saw it first, I think.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And then me and Duke saw it Tuesday. Tuesday, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um I like it.
SPEAKER_03:I'll say I Here Come Spoilers. Here be spoilers for real. Watch Tron Aries and then come back.
SPEAKER_00:Uh yeah. You want to take a moment to pause, you go right ahead. Um I enjoyed the movie, except for like one OCD thing. Where the hell was Tron? How are you gonna call the movie Tron Aries? Is there no Tron in it?
SPEAKER_03:Bruh, he wasn't even in the second movie. Yes, he was. Yeah, he was for two seconds before he got killed and corrupted.
SPEAKER_00:And but he was still Tron. He was just Tron does got overarched. So at least there was Tron on that one. This one didn't have shit. And I was like, I was all waiting, especially when they went back to the uh 80s time frame, which was badass, by the way. Uh, when they went back to that, I was like, oh, cool, maybe Tron will show up or something, they'll have a conversation, you know. You're just you know, one of those pass it, pay it for or pass it for like tap past the stick, whatever it's called, pass the baton. Um, it was like I didn't know you despast I didn't know you desk something, you know. But I look they mentioned Ares was security, which was what Tron was. So I guess if you're not gonna call it Tron, call him or it, whatever, use the name Tron, in idea form, it's the same thing.
SPEAKER_03:It's the Tron see that's when we were watching it and they were um breaking into um the system to like steal homegrown stuff. I'm like, fuck yeah, Tron's gonna show up and they're gonna fight, it's gonna be epic. And then nothing happened.
SPEAKER_00:What I what I liked was that representation of hacky. That was so cool. I'm like, I matter of fact, I I I looked over and said, that is a great representation of what's going on in the real world. I was like, that is super awesome. So I like I said, I enjoyed the movie.
SPEAKER_03:But I didn't mind it. I mean, it was okay. They spent a lot of time in the real world, but I guess they were looking for like the AI kind of stuff is coming to life and shit. So I get it. But um I mean also, why was Ares just driving around with his fucking light cycle beam on the whole fucking time while he was chasing? That was going through my head too. I'm like, dude, why are you just trying to kill all these people? They're just minding their business. What are you doing? You're just cutting everybody's car in half.
SPEAKER_00:Uh-huh. Turn it on when you need to turn it on. Other than that, what are you doing?
unknown:Right?
SPEAKER_04:Turn the shit off. I did like the lasers causing like the 3D printer effect. Yes. Like it wasn't just them like forming the person. Like, there was like it was almost like a there had they had to have like a structure to like support the people, support the thing that was being built. I thought that was kind of cool. Um, he buried his he buried that fucking or she buried that the blade fucking deep in Gillian Anderson's gut, though. I was like, God damn. Like they cut to that shit, and it's like her knuckles are fucking hitting the top of her rib cage, and I was like, damn. Like, she's like, nah, I'm good. I'm gonna fucking handle my business now.
SPEAKER_03:Uh-huh. But I didn't hate it. I I thought it was entertaining enough. Yeah, again, I think people just don't like Jared Leto. He's just not, he's he can't carry a movie. He can't carry a a box office movie. You put him in like an independent movie, they fucking left him over there, right? But Jared Leto can't he's not mainstream. He would have to be he could have been like the second in command. Like he could have been Athena's character, right? But you would have had to have somebody else be Ares.
SPEAKER_04:Who would you have wanted to be Ares, though?
SPEAKER_00:That's like Chris Hemsworth.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:I wouldn't have been mad at that. The Rock Johnson. Because why not? He's in every fucking movie.
SPEAKER_04:The Rock Johnson, the Rock Johnson with uh The Rock with uh Jared Leto's hair. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Lord. Looking looking like fucking, what is it, Doom from Conan, the barbarian James Earl Jones character, if that's the point.
SPEAKER_03:He was a really good bad guy, I thought. Um and becoming uh Sark at the end, that was cool as fuck, and it makes me want to see more.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, right? That was cool, I agree. When I when I was like, I was like, oh, he's got the old helmet.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah, the old janky disc came up and then he was Sark.
SPEAKER_00:The only downside about that, again, it was a great nostalgic type thing, but it I I know they were trying to plan for a future in other movies, it ain't gonna happen. But my first thought was in order for that to be relevant, they'd have to be on the Dillinger uh internet net servers and all that. Why would they be on the Dillinger servers to go back to that? They already bad guy relevant. They shut down.
SPEAKER_03:Dillinger. Dillinger in the first movie was Sark. So they would have, he would have had a copy of No, no, no, that's not what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00:That's not what I'm saying. I I know I know how that part worked. What I'm saying is I'm talking about future. You ended this movie this way, where he has that, okay, he's gonna be the bad guy in the next movie. But in order for him to be the bad guy in the next movie, you would have to go to his server. They shut down the Dillinger servers, so they're kind of like why why nobody was on the old school 80s fucking Tron server where they were uh Jeff's character Flynn's character was, or Flynn was. So they had to go there to get what they needed and go from there. Okay, great. What reason I'm not a writer, so maybe you guys already have ideas. Well, why would they even go to his server?
SPEAKER_03:Killian Murphy from Legacy, they bring Killian back, the other would go into the Dillinger server, and then that's how Sark would get out again.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, because revenge because that would be.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, exactly. So that Gillian's his sister. So he's like, yeah, fuck Aries, we're gonna go after him.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:And then Aries teams up with Little Flynn and Korra, and you get an amazing fucking movie.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, the whole the whole Korra uh Sam thing. I was like, okay, I see what he's doing. He's gonna go look for Korra and Sam. Good, that's cool. Maybe they'll do some kind of animation, finish the story, but something. Uh they're not doing live action. That movie made thirty that movie made less than Morbius did opening weekend. That's sad. Yeah. Thirty three, thirty one million opening weekend. Oh, that's that's just terrible.
SPEAKER_03:But it was pretty. Oh yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_04:All the special effects are really good in it. I mean Tron Aries is uh fifty-four million dollars, is what it's made so far.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, opening weekend was like 30 something. Is that worldwide? That's terrible.
SPEAKER_04:Uh that's total domestic.
SPEAKER_00:Well, I guess it's been two weekends now, so opening weekend was like let me take a look at worldwide.
SPEAKER_03:Let's see. Well, Black Phone 2 debuted with 26.5 million this weekend. So they're already halfway to Aries and one weekend.
SPEAKER_00:Worldwide growth is only five million below their opening weekend. That's sad for Aries. Sad for Disney. Oh, soundtrack was good. Dev uh uh Daphunks was better.
SPEAKER_03:Nine of Snails? Oh, yeah, for sure, for sure. But it wasn't bad. No, no, like I enjoyed it. The music fit. Yeah, I mean, I mean Trent wasn't singing the whole time, so I'd like two songs.
SPEAKER_00:He only sang two songs.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Yeah. So Tron is at the end.
SPEAKER_00:One of them was during the end credit, so I'm not even counting.
SPEAKER_04:Uh Tron is at$102 million worldwide.
SPEAKER_00:Gross. They're gonna lose$300 million on that movie. Man, maybe people really just don't care about theater that much. Then there's possible. And then there's us.
SPEAKER_03:I mean I'll have platinum, Cinemark Platinum in January.
SPEAKER_00:For real. Like this year, having it in July was the soonest I've ever gotten that shit.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but I mean I already have two hidden movies the next coming weeks. I think I already got tickets for Back to the Future and Predator, so I love going to the movies.
SPEAKER_04:Oh and Good Fortune is five dollars. Was that the Good Fortune I think comes out this week too? The Keanu Reeves Angel movie.
SPEAKER_00:That was yes. Yeah, this past weekend. That was Thursday's opening. That might be Tuesday's movie.
SPEAKER_04:Doing karaoke on Tuesday, so we'll have I'll have to wait until next week to see it.
SPEAKER_00:That sounds fucking man forever. Like two plus years. Um yeah, Good Fort I don't know. I wanted to watch Good Fortune a while ago. It looks good. I tell you what, watching the second trailer when I went and saw whatever that secret movie was two weeks ago, three weeks ago. Watching the second trailer to Good Fortune, where they actually explain what's going on and the switch of people's roles, that made me actually want to watch the movie more. I wanted to watch it anyway because it looked pretty good. But now it's like, oh, I don't know what to tell the story is. I can't wait to watch this one, so that's probably next.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Roofman is still on my list as well, but that probably need to be a streaming one. It's gonna be out of the theaters in like two weeks.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Like I said, I just want to see that so I can be at Toys R Us again. Uh Star Wars on Star Wars. I missed I miss Toys R Us.
SPEAKER_04:Uh, any of the movies you guys have seen lately? Have you seen the trailer for Primate?
SPEAKER_03:Dude, we just saw that with uh Black Black Phone today. I was like, oh, it's the monkey part two. The monkey came to life. And now he's killing people. That looks like it's gonna be something.
SPEAKER_00:Isn't that the one Duke you had us watched like six weeks ago?
SPEAKER_04:Um no, I wasn't. I don't think I was.
SPEAKER_00:That wasn't on our list of of trailers?
SPEAKER_04:No, this just came out three days ago. Yeah, this is the first time I've seen the trailer in January.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, that's weird because that name maybe I've just heard or read about it somewhere else, because that name that sounds really familiar.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, the pet chimp starts killing everybody.
SPEAKER_00:Maybe I saw a teaser a while ago. If this is it a full thing.
SPEAKER_03:Go in the pool. Sorry, all these people are just sitting on the pool.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw that trailer a while ago.
SPEAKER_04:Now that you say that. And then she's on the phone and then she gets like the monkey grabs her hair. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I did see that one a while ago.
SPEAKER_03:When the party dudes show up at the house and like, ah, who has a pet champ? That's stupid. How did I see that? And he's right there in their face.
SPEAKER_00:You said it just came out three days ago? Because I've seen that trailer a long time ago.
SPEAKER_03:It's called a family reunion, Lou.
SPEAKER_00:Maybe in that case, it's been over a year and a half. Oh my god. Man, that's weird. But I know I promise you.
SPEAKER_03:Interesting, yeah. Because all the trailers on YouTube say three days ago. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, no. I because now you see now that you described it, I was like, oh, that movie. So there must have been like a 30-second teaser or something that I saw.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, maybe there was a teaser. Maybe.
SPEAKER_00:Huh, wild.
SPEAKER_03:Luke has ESPN.
SPEAKER_00:Uh-huh. Deja vu all over again. Uh TV shows.
SPEAKER_03:Extra sense.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know that I watched any. I I don't think I watched any TV shows. Um recently.
SPEAKER_03:Well, you finished Peacemaker, right? We didn't talk about Peacemaker. Oh, we didn't, yeah, yeah. That horrible fucking ending.
SPEAKER_00:It was I get it, they're setting up for their their movie stuff, but yeah.
SPEAKER_03:But still, like I said, James Gunn is so far up his ass, like, oh, this is gonna be fucking cool. Normal people don't know about what is that shit called Salvation. Yeah, yeah. I don't know about that channel.
SPEAKER_00:Apocalypse, chan.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So that's cool, but as people that are setting up a whole new universe with something so obscure, and then you're just like, oh well, Peacemaker's over there. No more Peacemaker.
SPEAKER_00:Rain Lantern.
SPEAKER_03:What the fuck?
SPEAKER_04:I still I still feel like they took way too long, like doing Earth 2. Like they should have had Earth 2 stuff stretched out. Like the first like five episodes were something like a c I almost feel like the last three episodes and the first five episodes were like completely different shows.
SPEAKER_03:Like and so I feel I feel like the Earth 2 stuffed the first five episodes were Peacemaker Season 2, the last three were not next next season on DCU. Right.
SPEAKER_04:But I I wish they would have had the the Earth 2 stuff stretched out more. Because I think that because I really felt like the finale was really rushed. Like the the I mean like Rick Flagg. Like I've I had like Rick Flagg's kind of CD, whatever character, but then like in the last episode, all of a sudden he just becomes like a full-on bad guy. Boom, and all of a sudden he's laughing with it.
SPEAKER_03:I I never thought he was a good guy. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_04:But I'm saying, but I'm saying like the switch between him just having like him being professional to all of a sudden now he's a cackling bad guy. To me, that's like no no.
SPEAKER_00:That had that started when he beat up Peacemaker in custody. Which was two episodes.
SPEAKER_04:But I'm saying the way that they explained it just I wish it would have been stretched out more. Like his I wish his evolution would have been a little more. I would have liked to see. That's me though. But I like character development. I like character arcs and stuff like that. And to me, it's Duke just loves Grillo. Yeah. Duke loves the grill. Oh, yeah, man. Winter Soldier.
SPEAKER_00:His movie where he's jumping around time or re repeating the day, that was a great movie.
SPEAKER_04:Werewolves, not a great movie.
SPEAKER_00:Was he in that?
SPEAKER_04:Not a great movie of fucking all. Do not do not. I am sorry I shared that trailer with you.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, he is in that movie. I don't remember the episode of the podcast where you were talking about that movie.
SPEAKER_00:You were not happy about that one.
SPEAKER_04:Well, because again, you watch the trailer and I'm fucking hyped for the trailer. I'm like telling you guys this movie's gonna be fucking awesome. And then I watch it and I was like, what the fuck was that? What did I just do?
SPEAKER_00:Your reaction was like, you just found out Trump won all over again. That's how bad that was.
SPEAKER_04:I don't have many regrets, but watching that movie is definitely one of them.
SPEAKER_00:Is this streaming yet?
SPEAKER_03:You it makes me want to watch it even more. I'm sure it is, dude. I'm sure it is. What was the other one? Let me find out.
SPEAKER_00:There were two that were coming out around the same time. You guys remember?
SPEAKER_04:Mm-mm.
SPEAKER_00:It was like the guys with his family in a car.
SPEAKER_04:Hulu. It's on Hulu.
SPEAKER_00:It's on Hulu. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it's on Hulu and Amazon Video. You can rinse it on Amazon Video. Please don't do that.
SPEAKER_03:It was the one where like See, I just forgot all about that movie because it made Duke sad, so I blocked it out of my head. No, no.
SPEAKER_00:It's on my it's on my list along with the other one. And now I can't remember what the other one was. Where the guys in the car with his wife and the the wife, I believe, was the Silver Surfer from Fantastic Four.
SPEAKER_04:Uh that was Wolfman.
SPEAKER_00:It was Wolfman. Okay. Is that one streaming?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. Uh I think so, yeah. I'm sure it is. I mean, it's like it's a little bit more.
SPEAKER_00:Is that one I wanted to watch more than Werewolves, but I but after Duke described Werewolves, I wanted to watch Werewolves.
SPEAKER_03:Uh it's on Prime.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. Oh, and it's a Blumhouse movie. It must not be too bad, I assume. Has a 5.6 user review on IMDB.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, so half the people are not intelligent because it's probably a well-written movie and they wanted to.
SPEAKER_03:Well, the negatives are creature design and pacing. God, come on now.
SPEAKER_00:It's three people in the movie. Of course it's slow as hell.
SPEAKER_03:Right. Kujo atmosphere, cinematography, sound design, suspense are all positives.
SPEAKER_04:2025 Kujo. Just go watch Cujo.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, there's a movie I haven't seen in 30 years. Wait, didn't they do another one? Didn't they remake Kujo? A couple times. Did they okay? I know they did re redid Pet Cemetery. I don't remember if they did Kujo.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. Yeah, I think Cujo was redone. If not more than once.
SPEAKER_00:I'll watch the original. I ain't got time for the new shit. I want to watch the original if I'm watching it. Not all I'm trying to think of. Didn't really watch anything new. I watched a couple older movies I hadn't seen in it. Uh Premonition with Sancho Bullock and the dude who played Doctor Doom in the first Fantastic More movies.
SPEAKER_03:Julian McMahon.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I think he was in Niptuck. Um that dude.
SPEAKER_03:I think he was the one that just died. He died? Yeah, he was the one that just died.
SPEAKER_00:Oh shit, didn't know that.
SPEAKER_03:Like quite a bit.
SPEAKER_04:That's funny.
SPEAKER_00:And then I watched uh rewatched uh The Martian. It had been a while since I've seen that one too. I forgot how good that movie was. That was well done.
SPEAKER_04:I down I downloaded a 4K version of Beverly Hills Cop 2. Yeah. So a couple of the channel a couple of the YouTube channels I followed talk about like good 4K transfers. So I've been trying to download 4K um versions of movies that I already own in me in physical form. Uh real quick, Jack, there is not a remake. There was an announcement from Netflix that they were going to remake uh that they were gonna remake Kujo, but as of October 20th, uh it's just in development.
SPEAKER_03:No, there's one that came out in 2020, it says. Never mind, that has no cast in it, so maybe it didn't actually have. I think that's when they announced it.
SPEAKER_04:Oh interesting. Good times. What do you guys got going on this week? Job Hunt? Uh yeah. Gotta get them papers.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, because I don't know. I still I'm still waiting to hear back from unemployment, so we'll see if that plays out. Uh it doesn't matter. Either way, Job Hunt. I've got Disney to pay for and then Comic Con next year to pay for. Honestly, I only got anything in between there. Uh so those are the two I gotta save up for. So but I want to be able to go to Disney in December and enjoy it. Hey Lou, we're doing this. Okay, I'll be over here. You guys have fun.

SPEAKER_03:But you don't want me to got you.
SPEAKER_00:I don't want you to get it. By the way, I will say this. I'm covered for December. I'm I'm okay for December.
SPEAKER_04:Uh I just want to go. I just can't. We're gonna be in the Olga's. Jack's like, they're gonna come over and be like, how should I break the bill down? And Jack's like, I got this guy. And Allie's gonna be like, what about me? Nope, sorry. You're on your own. You got a job, bitch.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, got there and lose a real man. If anything, she'll get me. I got her the last five years. That's not true. It's only been three.
SPEAKER_04:Oh lord. Maybe four.
SPEAKER_00:Um but no, no, I should be okay for December. It's it's again, it's uh make sure I'm good eight months from now when we get to July.
SPEAKER_04:Exactly. Jack, I was saying that so you could edit that back in when I actually said her name.
SPEAKER_03:So you but even that, um I mean the room's already done. So the room's done, you bought your tickets, so shit. We're picking you up at the airboard on it.
SPEAKER_00:I'm not working. Oh, oh, we've got to talk about that too. I told I think I told Jack about that, but I don't think I told you.
SPEAKER_04:All right, well, we could talk about that after. So what else you guys got going on this week?
SPEAKER_00:We're already at a half.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Right. And we and we only spent like 10 minutes talking about fantasy or football.
SPEAKER_00:Football, I know. Well, that reminds me though. That fantasy football, I thought I was totally.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, what was that? Lose lose power and internet just went out again. Oh no. Those internet were coming out.
SPEAKER_00:Oh my god, y'all. This this is some crazy shit. So I had two players going for, I think two players going, Jack. Did I have two or one? Yeah. I think I had two. I had DK Metcalf and Pittsburgh defense, and I got seven and a half points. Jack had Chase Brown and got 3,000 points. Uh he got 30 something. He was projected to beat me by 30 by the time uh the Thursday game was over. Now that the night game's over tonight, I'm projected to beat him by 40. I don't know. I think Jonathan Taylor went off and and uh my quarterback.
SPEAKER_03:That's where our discrepancy is. Uh Kamaro only got four points. Taylor got 32.7. And Trey McBride also blew up for you this afternoon. Yeah, he doubled his projections too. So Herbert as well.
SPEAKER_04:Laporta needs to just tear it up and then Herbert also did. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:But yeah, it was crazy. Like I had honestly, after Thursday's game, I was all like, all right, here's my first loss of the season. I'm I'm done for. It's like that's alright. That's alright. One loss. Uh Jack's A plus draft is gonna show up. And don't get me wrong, they did. I think Jack beats everybody in the league except for me this week.
SPEAKER_04:Jack's bench is gonna beat everybody else's bench.
SPEAKER_00:Oh god. Who do you have on the bench that should have started?
SPEAKER_04:AJ Brown.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, you met AJ Brown on the bench.
SPEAKER_03:And instead he played. My second team has got 165, dude. Kick the shit out of your girl, bro.
SPEAKER_00:Man, that's uh that's the other girl, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:But she she didn't pay attention this week. She started people who were off.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. She has Eric Henry. No game. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I already said something. I was like, hey girl, can you talk to your friend and have her pay attention, please?
SPEAKER_04:Dude, she left 91 points on the bench.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, she did.
SPEAKER_04:91 points. Jalen Hurts, Devontae Smith, DeAndre Swift, and Jake Ferguson all scored double digits.
SPEAKER_00:Good lord.
SPEAKER_04:And instead she left Ashton Gentian and Marvin Harrison Jr., who got her a total of 12 points.
SPEAKER_00:Well, yeah. Now I'll tell you what though, Duke's matchup against Old Girl, that one's close as hell. Last time I checked, it was like somebody was supposed to win by two.
SPEAKER_03:Uh now she's supposed to get 128 Dukes scheduled to 119.
SPEAKER_00:Well, it was 133. All right.
SPEAKER_04:No, well, she has Jared Goff, Nico Collins, and Jameer Gibbs. She has still like half her team. Who do you got left? No one. I'm I'm I'm playing.
SPEAKER_00:What's the current score? Don't worry about the projections. What's the actual current score?
SPEAKER_04:What's the what? Sorry.
SPEAKER_00:What's the current score that you versus her without project?
SPEAKER_04:But she still has four players to play.
SPEAKER_00:So she needs those four players to get 45. Okay. Let's go be close.
SPEAKER_04:I should have started I should have started Indiana Jones today instead of uh Jaden Daniels.
SPEAKER_00:What did Indy get?
SPEAKER_04:22. And Jaden got 17.
SPEAKER_00:Five points. Maybe make a difference. I just like that it's clos. I always liked the close guy. Like when I my other leagues, I look at mine obviously, and I don't pay attention until unless there's another close matchup, and I'll go look at that one. It's just exciting, you know. I don't bet a lot for obvious reasons anymore, but uh dude, that goes back.
SPEAKER_04:Ain't got no job.
SPEAKER_00:Well, no, not even that. Four or five years. It's just you know what? It was I don't. It was uh uh I I enjoy I enjoy the fantasy football. What's happening there more so than like the interest that I have in like a dumbass game, Carolina versus the Jets. I don't give a shit about that. Uh when I bet it I cared about it. But also, if some players have fantasy football implications, I care about a fan. And that works, that's the same thrill without having to spend the money, even though I didn't bet a lot. Like I'm I'm a small better. I never bet more than like a hundred bucks a weekend. When I did bet regularly, Jack, you should be worried just a little.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, a little bit.
SPEAKER_00:Alright, y'all. So I got wait, wait, wait, we didn't finish up. So I didn't have a whole lot going on this week. What about you guys? I mean, I I might now, I might go to that uh secret movie.

SPEAKER_00:Shit, we told you about it years ago. Bullshit. Me with Steel Panther like 20 years ago. Granted, I wouldn't have known she didn't well, she didn't say anything, but yeah, so during during that opening credits song band, I looked over and I'm like, this is the opening credits song. And she she just looked at me like, wait, you dumbass. Yes. But she didn't say it, but it had the look. And I knew it was the way, and I just kind of it was heavily implied.
SPEAKER_04:I just kind of instead of referring instead of referring her do her n by her name, is she old old girl? Ex-wife. We have old girl, and then we have old old girl.
SPEAKER_00:I was like, huh? No, that what does that be, Danielle?
