[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe? What do you mean maybe?

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: She's trying to set the bar low that our guest will gleefully hop over.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, he is used to doling out a lot of roles through his various weekly Blood on the Clock Tower streams.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But we're going to be talking about the other roles that he might enjoy. TV roles.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That is, thrilled to be welcoming in. I'm so excited personally to bring this guy in from Survivor 43 at the Great Drive More.

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope you're okay. I hope you're doing okay.

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah, doing great.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Do I seem to kill me every time on GooseGoose.net?

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Or it's an upgrade.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, we're doing so good. Thanks for having me on.

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're so thrilled to have you here, Dwight.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I want to rewind all the way back to the early days of Dwight Moore when you were Dwight less.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: What is like the first show you remember becoming a big fan of as a kid, as a teenager?

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_03]: As like a kid. Oh my God. I remember, I think the show was called Dragon Tales.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like a kid's show.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Period, yes.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: But love that show as a kid. I was like obsessed with that.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I remember as well, like, I think it was like my birthday party, like three or four or five.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: My parents like got like cake for the show and everything like the characters on it.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It was like so much that I love the show so much.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Insane.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I remember that one very vividly.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure I remember that birthday party.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It was so fun.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Other shows as a kid.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, just the random like Disney Channel shows, honestly, a lot of time because I was just on.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, the Zack and Cody shows were on a lot of time.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_03]: This channel that was fun.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, y'all forgot.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm a child.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I know.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I always forget.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm about to age out the audience here and you're like, what is he saying?

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_03]: These new shows don't exist.

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but no, but no, uh, like a lot of like cartoons and stuff.

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so you know, a lot of that as a kid.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And then I also remember, uh, all the time when I was, you know, my mom, it just has like law

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and order SBU on.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm always watching that next to her too.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm just like watching 10 seasons of this show.

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like a child.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Just do you remember?

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you remember taking anything in from all the proliferation of sex crimes in your mind?

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Believe it or not.

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I'm just like, Oh cool TV show.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that's it.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so just having TV on the background.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so yeah, just having noise on, uh, as a kid, but I was always on.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, what else?

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, but as, as a kid, those are like the, like drag tells us like the big one that I remember.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, for sure.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_03]: How about you guys?

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Like any like shows stand out?

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to think of like, Sasha, did you ever have like the birthday party themed around?

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: No, unfortunately.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_05]: That wasn't really a thing in India.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like where it was, it felt very much like, Oh, you have the, like the basic party

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_05]: with the cake and then the samosas.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_05]: And yeah, you literally get a piece of cake and a samosa and the cake.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_05]: It doesn't really matter.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, McDonald's had just opened up in India, uh, in my city.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_05]: So McDonald's birthdays were like big.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_05]: And I definitely had where they rent out the whole like floor for your birthday.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_03]: How many floors were in the McDonald's?

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Three.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Three floors.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_05]: So that's like what I remember.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_05]: And my mom was very big on birthdays.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_05]: So we always had like big bashes.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I am an only child, but yeah, it was, they were very much like, it's more about like how

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_05]: big it was than the theme.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_05]: But I bet I had a Barbie birthday.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm sure that that was the like thing I'm into even now.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So Dwight, what did the cake involve?

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, was it actually in the shape of a dragon head or did they just like take cutouts of the

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_01]: characters and stick them in the cake?

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's like, you know how people can do like the scan of like a photo or something

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_03]: kind of like icing.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So they do that for something.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like this, the Kroger that's like five years from the house.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Like we had like, they knew someone at the cake to run who like loved doing stuff for like

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_03]: the party party.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So they did that for us.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It was so nice.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so yeah, I did that when I was a kid.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, just had the birthday party at my house, had some folks come over.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_03]: It was always fun.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And then, um, it was always nice.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I went to the, so kind of a derail to my life stuff.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_03]: But like I had the same, um, went to the same school for like K through eight or first

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_03]: or eight and everything.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And my, my birthday is in August.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And I usually have like the first birthday of the year.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_03]: So it was nice to have like everyone from like my, cause it's pretty small schools.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone from the grade comes over.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So it was like, nice.

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_03]: First point to do that.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And also, you know, maximize the birthday gifts by inviting everybody.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_03]: So amazing work there.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so that was always fun.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Look forward to, uh, kind of starting out that year with like a, I still party at the house.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, with all, all the, all the kids, all the children.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, that was, that was kind of that as a kid.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I would say Mike, any, any show come to mind?

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Like as a, as a child.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, for me, it was, I wouldn't have a birthday party around this.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to remember if I had a themed birthday party.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think 90s kids.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I've ever done.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, to your point about McDonald's Sasha.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It was more so about going.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: We never had a house birthday party.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It was always going to a place.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Same.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And then doing it.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's, it's always interesting for me now being a parent as to like, okay, are

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: we going to have a theme for this?

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Like we still had a birthday party at a secondary location for my son this past year, but we

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_01]: did provide like decorations that were aesthetically themed around stuff.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Star Wars.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And so like, I don't think we ever did that though.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I think back in my day, it was almost always going with like the generic paper plates and

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_01]: hats and streamers that the place provided rather than any specific pop culture property.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Now I'm like, I gotta ask, I actually texted my mom.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Did I have a themed birthday?

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not just cause you really unlock something for all of us.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_05]: That was in the comments.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_05]: If you're listening to us on YouTube, which you should be.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Cause listen, look at our pretty faces.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Jealous.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_05]: If you had a themed birthday party and like, what, what like generation are you?

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Cause like, what was going on with our parents?

[00:07:55] Why did they do this?

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was the nineties, you know, there were, there was a lot that was going on.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Economics was booming.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone thought that they could just kind of do what they needed to do with no consequences.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And so maybe in the future, they're like, you know what?

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_01]: We are going to screen print some of those cakes.

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, that was really, I remember that being like a game changer thing to screen print a photo and be able to make it edible frosting and put it on a cake.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Now in retrospect, like good God, the resolution on it is so, so bad.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But again, you took what you could get back in those days.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I just always, I'm looking at when this became a thing, like printing a picture on a cake.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Like that's kind of just always been a thing for me.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_03]: So once again, sorry for the, Oh, you remember those became a thing.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, like we, if we were teen, like I'm, I was trying to do the math, but it's not true, but maybe future survivors that if I was a teen parent, I could have been.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_05]: We did ask Brando his age.

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Cause I was like, I think we've missed a vote on Dwight, but what about Brando?

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't know how old I am by heart.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, I think we're okay on Dwight, but a few more years.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Me and Kirsten were having this.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I I'm intrigued.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Dwight does seem like perhaps your indoctrination to more mature content apparently started with, uh, writing, you know, uh, side saddle watching SVU.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But do you remember like the first quote unquote adult show that you watched?

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Was it, you know, as a teen, was it like you got to college and someone was like, Oh, you never watched this show.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me expose you to it.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, trying to think.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I was like, I got to college.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't watch too much TV then.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I know that I have like a cable TV.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Just like watch stuff on Netflix randomly.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, Netflix shows.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I watched all the college, a lot of also like random Disney plus stuff.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, I like the star Wars stuff that comes on this.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Plus I'll watch that religiously when it comes out.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Like Andor and Andor came out.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, what's the other thing about?

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Acolyte.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, those are, those are good.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, like, what do you think?

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about television on star Wars or star Wars on television?

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I just say, I mean, look, uh, I don't think any of us are necessarily.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Levying, uh, complaints at it and the way that certain people on the internet are, but

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_01]: what do you think of the direction that things sort of have been going since Mando

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_01]: gray star screen five years ago?

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, honestly, I've been enjoying it.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm all, I'm also to be not like a die hard star Wars fan.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I'm just like a casual fan of this, of the franchise.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So I like, I watch, I enjoy it.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Take it in.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll go to like, I'll see the subreddit people.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like up in arms of how dare they do X or Y or Z.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Like this is all wrong.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_03]: They're ruining the lore.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like, I like the show.

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to watch the show.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Please stop complaining about the show that I like.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but no, it's, it's, it's, I feel like any massive fandom that's attached to

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_03]: something will hate everything they do.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_03]: If it's not like exactly what they want it to be.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think I've stabbed them with star Wars.

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_03]: They're getting, so they're getting a lot more shows.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Also. It's just like not their vision for it.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_03]: So they hate it.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I'm going to get attacked by star Wars fans in the comments for this.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I'm saying the shows were good.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: They're just like, no, they were awful, but I liked them.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: They were pretty good.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I mean, I've been really enjoying them.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm kind of hoping they kind of keep continuing with them.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, Ahsoka was just announced to be renewed for season.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: That's coming at a certain point.

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't see that.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Nice. Okay.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, that's awesome.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's interesting from your perspective though.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause like, I would imagine I had you seen any clone wars?

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you just watched Ahsoka without any knowledge as to.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I watched, uh, I didn't watch the, um, like the.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't watch that when I was, uh, like when it actually came out initially.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I watched all the movies, but not like the show.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_03]: When I was like, uh, when I, how old was when I came out?

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I was like, uh, Jesus.

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I forgot my exact age, but I didn't watch that.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I just kind of just hopped.

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm familiar with the Lord of Ahsoka and everything.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but that's like not watching the full, uh, clone wars show.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so I just hopped into it.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Just like, okay, it'll be fine.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not, there's not background research needed before.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't need homework to watch a show.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I can watch the show.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, Marvel.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I was a Marvel of like, Oh, you didn't watch the 20 movies beforehand.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyways, have fun getting lost.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_05]: No, this is really interesting because I'd love to hear from you, Dwight, that as someone

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_05]: a right that just, um, feels like, Hey, the property is here.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to consume it.

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_05]: We'll see what happens.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_05]: And Mike, I feel like on the other hand as well, you come from, I feel like the other

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_05]: side where your knowledge about things is like so vast.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_05]: It's ridiculous.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_05]: So I would love to hear from y'all, you know, this new thing that's coming up, right?

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Where studio execs allegedly are like talking about, uh, they want to have, um, fans come

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_05]: talk and do a, uh, like a, not a focus group of the, and then, you know, take out whatever

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_05]: the fans don't like.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like this is setting up for no diversity, no women, right?

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Like at nothing.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be in my opinion, it's going to turn out miserably.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I don't see that being a good thing at all.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, cause you go to any for people complaining about, like you said, the, the, the diversity

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: moves, like, Oh, this is what you have a problem with randomly.

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Like you go to like any form.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, why they put in the scene where all like the women are strong cares, like,

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_03]: because they can be like, why is that a problem for you?

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's happens way too often.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, okay, I don't think we need focus groups.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: People that are saying this.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I don't think they need, um, like fan input can be helpful, but no learn limits.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I hope they set some limits for this practice if they start doing it for sure.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, to be candid, I have an issue with it for a few reasons.

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_01]: One of them being not to say that fans of a product cannot become creatives in their own

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_01]: right.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_01]: However, I deal from a certain perspective, like there are reasons why certain people

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: are showrunners, directors, writers, and some people aren't is that they possess that

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_01]: ability to be creative.

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, again, like I'm not disparaging that.

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there are fan fiction writers that have gone on to pen, you know, very popular

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_01]: book series that gets turned into film and TV adaptations.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_05]: So yes, 50 shades.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's not to say that even Twilight, I think, to a certain extent.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's not to say that you can't necessarily like rely on fan opinions for creative guidance.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know, like I don't necessarily feel like from a creative pursuit, making things

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: by committee is ever that great.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, maybe that's a bit different than like being in a writer's room and having everyone

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_01]: kind of brainstorm ideas.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But what's brought to mind for me are just like focus groups that are saying, OK, so

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_01]: would you want this character or this character?

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's a scene from The Simpsons where they do some some focus group testing for

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: itchy and scratchy.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And the conclusion is like, so you want a zany show that is totally unrealistic and off

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_01]: the wall, yet filled with down to earth characters who go through problems that you can relate

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_01]: to. And also you win prizes at the end.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Like everyone is different.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone wants something different out of it.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be impossible to please everybody.

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Hell, the three of us know, you know, in particular with the group that we run with, that it is an

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_01]: impossible feat to do.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And while I understand wanting to incorporate more popular opinion in there, it sounds like

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: they're trying to make it the be all end all.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And that just feels like such a fundamental failure on so many levels.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, no, I echo everything.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Retweet all of what you've said.

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I also am under or in the camp of what about original IPs?

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, enough.

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Let things be right.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_05]: We don't need the seventh remake of the same thing that we've heard of multiple times.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Because I just watched Speak No Evil.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, this is a cool movie, whatever.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm frustrated.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_05]: But it was like interesting to watch.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_05]: And then I realized that's also a remake of a Danish one.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_05]: It just nothing is sacred.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Nothing.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm over it.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Where make original stuff?

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_05]: How about that?

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think they made those two vastly different as well.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, okay, interesting.

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, that was a choice.

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I changed it up for the American audience.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_03]: But okay.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Made it much nicer.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_05]: No spoilers.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_05]: But yeah.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was gonna say which one was the nicer one.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, just you know.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_05]: The American one.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_03]: But also kind of piggyback off this like, maybe they're using old ideas too much.

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Remind me there's a show that I watched a lot when I was a kid as well.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_03]: It was like this African American like black sitcom called Good Times.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_03]: So that was love that show.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_03]: It was my parents had like all the DVDs for it.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It was like so I'd watch them a lot when I was a kid.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, just a older show.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: But then I remember it was a couple months ago or maybe it was sometime this year.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I was watching something.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It was an ad on Netflix for a animated version of it.

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm sorry.

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I was so repulsed by just seeing like the ad.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like, what the why are you using do not attach this to the show that I loved as a kid.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Do not attach yourself to this.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And they did.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_03]: And I, I did not watch a lick of the animated show, but all I read about it was horrible.

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_03]: So I feel.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Did you see who the producer was or story writer?

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I had not.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Seth MacFarlane.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I know this can't.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and also Steph Curry.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I forgot about Steph Curry.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_03]: You cannot be serious.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_05]: A bunch of black folks and Seth MacFarlane.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I believe.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Norman Lear was there too.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause he, I think he originally produced the original series.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Why did they, who approved this?

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Like why would.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_05]: That's what it's.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_05]: It's like if AI, I did not watch it.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, but it's like if AI like mates.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It's so like, have y'all ever seen the original?

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I've seen a little bit.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I so good.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure why they thought they need to resurrect it as this bastardized cartoon version.

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_03]: That is just, it's, it might be disrespectful.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_05]: The stereotype.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like in the little trailer again, that I, even in the trailer, I'm just like, guys,

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_03]: you took the entire concept and part of the show and missed it for, for what reason for genuinely make a new IP.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_03]: If you want to do this so badly.

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and that's the thing as well is that, and again, cause I don't necessarily think creatives are, are not to blame, but I do think what does cause some of the backlash besides like, you know, the chosen neckbeard out there complaining about everything.

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the fact that there are people who will take an IP and use it to kind of disguise the show that they wanted to write.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Who would have thought there are true dyed in the wool Scooby Doo fans out there in our universe.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But man, they had a lot to say when that show came out and like, it really did seem like, okay, you want to make your own adult animated thing, but it was not making it, you know, past the first couple of rounds.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: So you have to associate it with a popular IP to kind of backdoor your way in there of like, no, it's a modern take on Scooby Doo.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_01]: When like, really, it has nothing to do with it whatsoever.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_05]: No, it's just like an Indian girl.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_05]: That's like sad about life.

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Don't get me started.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_05]: And why am I talking about this lady?

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Every TV.

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's like personal vendetta about against Mindy Kaling is the stuff.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_05]: But no, it's just, I was really excited for Velma again.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I do feel like I am a fan, not a fan of Scooby Doo.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_05]: And then I watched one episode and I said, I got it.

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_05]: No, this is just another Mindy Kaling.

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Like Ryan Murphy, Mindy Kaling.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_05]: What was going on?

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Where did that show come out on?

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Was it like on Hulu or something?

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_05]: HBO.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I see.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Once again, saw the ad and just like, you know, someone will enjoy that.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Not me though.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Y'all have fun.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Self-hating Indians.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Anyway.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's just really interesting.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And like, I can't tell.

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like a vocal part of the internet is tired of the reboots and the remakes.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But like, I don't know.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: They're still being made.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So like, is there just a healthy part of the population that does indeed go for the low hanging fruit of like, well, I know good times.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So if this is anything like the good times, I know I better go check it out.

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And then like, for you know, the people in the suits.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It's that's all that matters to them is how many people ended up watching it, no matter whether they liked it or not.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, absolutely.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just also probably excuse for like people making these shows to say they did something, putting on a resume and be like, oh, I made this product that was a, you know, it's a little bit on the resume to say like you worked on this reboot of Good Times or reboot of Scooby Doo or something, you know, oh, cool.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's name recognition to name the door for future projects.

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_03]: So I can definitely see if they want to do it for that reason, which is, you know, anger is all the fans when it's just like they're making something that's flop, but whatever.

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_03]: You're making the money, I guess.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And so whatever.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that's so real.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I think something that I believe was done well, but again, I'm not black, so I want to lead with that is the Everybody Hates Chris.

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I watched the first episode and I said, no, this makes sense.

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that show.

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_03]: So good.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_03]: That show is amazing.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I love that.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I think everyone I know, like, would reference that show all the time.

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, just as cool as it's so good.

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_05]: And now that they made the remake, I don't know if you saw the first episode.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I did not.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I have not seen it.

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it literally picked up where it's the last one ended.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Really?

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, literally the next from the slap.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess that's the question I would have is like, for a lot of these properties, would you rather it be a sequel where it picks up from where it left off?

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, your Frasers, your Will and Graces?

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Or would you prefer it be like an out and out reboot with new characters?

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Sort of like what they're doing with The Office.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I kind of like the continuation, honestly.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But like that's selfish because, of course, like I've grown at the same rate as the show.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I kind of want to see that same story continue on like for my age.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_03]: But I can also see the benefit of, you know, giving a different generation that same ability to fall in love with the same show that I did in the reboot kind of setting.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_03]: But selfishly, I like the continuation part of it more because it's for me.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_03]: So I want the show that I like when I was younger to be better, continue, and storyline for me as an older person.

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So what about what about you, Sasha?

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Unfortunately, I think I am the drama because, yes, I also like that better because, right, there's the nostalgia sells at the end of the day.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_05]: It is what it is.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_05]: But then I'm thinking of a Fuller House and I was so excited because I love Full House.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's the one show I think like I really can quote most of the episodes and storylines on.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_05]: But Fuller House was all right.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, oh, it's just missing everything.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Because in no way that all of these people can live in the same house again.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I think they have to have their own lives.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_05]: But then that takes away from everything that's exciting about the show.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_05]: So I want but then Girl Meets World have like a little bit of a continuation, but on its own journey.

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_05]: And then you're just like, OK, that's nice.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the thing for me.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it's just because like I'm someone who consistently wants to look into, you know, new IPs.

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I know this is a little bit hypocritical considering that like when my main beat is covering Survivor, which is on season 47.

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_01]: But like I personally would rather go for a British TV model of like shows running for two, three seasons and then kind of going away.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And so I would prefer personally the reboot for a couple of reasons.

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_01]: One of them being as well that I feel like with revivals, sequel series, what have you.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It's almost always, you know, the same creators working on the show.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And that also almost always means that they are coming in from like.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Their 1990s, early 2000s lens and trying to talk about things in the 2020s.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And it like never pales well, you know, like I'm pretty sure like the Futurama.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I know they've rebooted several times, but like I think they try to tackle a couple of current issues.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's gone about as well as a lead balloon in that regard, like just having.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And again, as a lifelong Simpsons fan, it makes me cringe to like watch some of these older white men that have been with the show for decades.

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Try to make commentary about, you know, diversity to the points that you made earlier.

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But something that like serves as a nice example on the other side of that is like the Saved by the Bell reboot, which I think, you know, may rest in peace from what I saw.

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Did a really nice job actually of like being able to tackle current issues that teenagers are facing because they were able to bring in a crop of talent that admired the old show,

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_01]: but also were youthful enough and present enough to bring it into the modern age.

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. OK, I think that's fair.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_05]: And I think if a Degrassi, I don't know, part 100, next, next, next generation were to happen or the Degrassi maybe we grew up with,

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_05]: which was a remake of the 80s to Degrassi.

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_05]: It works if you're right, if it's topical and not cringe.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_05]: I just feel like lately and I don't want to sound like a boomer, but I just feel like, oh, it's getting so woke.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_05]: But in that it feels inauthentic and it's just like getting woke for what reason?

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'll give an example for Bel Air. I feel like that is so I feel like that finally they have made it there.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_05]: They're you know, they they made it into their own show, like season three, I believe felt like.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, like I was like, oh, it feels good. It feels like its own show now.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_05]: It's divorce and we'll have random people come in from the like paying new characters.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_05]: And you're like, wait, what? That's that I think it is.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_05]: And it feels exciting. But they but they have they have issues that teenagers now would have dealt with.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Like Ashley is currently bless her heart.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Her mom is like, you can't close the door with boys in the room.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_05]: And she's like, well, they don't identify as a boy.

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, and then I was like, wait, but this actually would be a real life issue that parents would now have to deal with is like gender isn't binary.

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_05]: So what do you do?

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_05]: And it was yeah, I just feel like it was a really interesting conversation.

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, this is good, like young adult sequels.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_05]: And it doesn't feel as cringy.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_05]: What do I do in the next TikTok?

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Because that's the thing is that the sequel series, again, it's a little bit of who is this for?

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess, you know, you're expecting to kind of cash in on the people that know the property.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But chances are like how many people that are in the Frasier demographic know to go to Paramount Plus to watch the latest episodes,

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_01]: as opposed to like creating the show for another generation, not as like a direct replacement, but almost as an updated version of it.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_01]: It just and also for me as well, like being a big Star Trek fan, it's been very interesting that obviously, you know,

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: that show was very ahead of its time in the 60s, but certainly still shows flashes of it back when it was made.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_01]: But now they've made a show that came out before the original series in the 60s that pontificates on themes nowadays as well.

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And so like, I just think that is really the perfect way to thread the needle that if we need quote unquote nostalgia bait,

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_01]: at least package it to me in a way that feels new, either a fresh voice or a fresh perspective,

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_01]: as opposed to this is, you know, season seven of this show that's coming 20 years later.

[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_05]: That's fair. Yeah. And then when they do a Gilmore Girls remake again, maybe I'll be sad.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I just got into it. Sorry, go ahead.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm kind of curious because I was talking to a friend the other day about it,

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_03]: but do y'all only watch shows on streaming platforms now or do you have like TV,

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_03]: like you go to like channels and stuff or is it only just like you have certain platforms

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and you ever discover a show randomly or do you always look for something in particular and that's it?

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm. Yeah. Do you ever like a surf the algo, Sasha, take anything that it throws at you?

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like I am one of the, like I said, boomers that still has cable actually.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_05]: And it's really for sports.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_05]: But still, I enjoy it actually.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_05]: And you're right.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, Dwight, that I specifically look for like, oh, this is just on.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm gonna watch it. But then speaking of your baby mom's favorite show, I don't know.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_05]: But Law and Order SVU, they do have new shows.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_05]: And I will be like, oh, my gosh, I haven't seen this episode.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'll just start watching it.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_05]: And I that's how I discovered the floor.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_05]: And one day I will go on that show.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I swear to God.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_01]: How did you discover the floor?

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I was just, again, surf, like maybe Dwight's right.

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I was just watching or I turned on the TV and then I said, what the hell is this new show on one of the, you know, those channels?

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_05]: And then I was like, oh, I'm in.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that the show where it's like they're just it's a screen and then they're just like, OK, OK, I thought so.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_03]: How does like I'm sorry, but it's hard.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's literally just they're doing that the whole time.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just one on one.

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_05]: But with like different with a different skill set or knowledge sets.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_05]: So if Dwight, you and I like your skill set is survivor.

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Right. And then and mine would be mine would be like TV shows.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's just say then if I you know, the thing floor randomly lands on me.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like either it's you on survivor or or I have to pick Mike who has like podcasting as his thing or hobbies maybe would be his thing.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_05]: And then I have to pick which one.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_05]: And then we are we fight on that.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_05]: And then whichever one doesn't get used that now could become your inherited category or mine.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So everyone has a category they start with.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_01]: An area.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's almost like a little bit like like risk in that you're like trying to invade into someone else's territory to conquer that category.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And then if you win, you sort of take their area.

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's like your goal is to like fill up the floor.

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Right. Yeah.

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. And can you ever just like say, OK, I won enough.

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I got enough. Yeah.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_03]: OK. I don't think you just kept going until it.

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like you start with one person.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_03]: You can do one on one like, oh, you won 90 in a row.

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And you lost the 91st.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you're eliminated.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_03]: OK.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And you will be.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how it works.

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's.

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_05]: But the problem is someone will challenge you.

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_05]: And then you you're like, well, yeah, I guess because I'm some person was only connected to the big person.

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_05]: So they had to challenge.

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And then that's it.

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_05]: So if that person lost, like who has been working so hard, you lost.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_05]: And it was like on country music, someone lost.

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_05]: And I would, too.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, country.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm cooked.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Done for.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: What would be your area of expertise on the floor, Dwight?

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, hell.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, let me think about it.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Mike would kill it on this show.

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I would do pretty well.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I am not Jeopardy.

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm no Drew Basile.

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But if it's coming to like learning, knowing a little bit about everything, I would feel pretty good about that.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, I'm in same place.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Mike, I feel confident, like general, just general knowledge.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_03]: There's no like one thing.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, oh, I killed this.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just on like visual recognition.

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Depends.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Like some were like song lyrics.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I'd be cooked there, to be quite honest.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_03]: But anything else, like any like general knowledge, I'd be very confident, just in general.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I might watch that show now.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I had really, I binged it in the corner.

[00:33:09] Right.

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Because I watched one episode and I say yes.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_03]: How did you binge?

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Isn't it just like a show on like Fox that's just airing?

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it's like the surprise.

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a serialized game.

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you, they like say, okay, this is how far we've gotten in this episode.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll come back and like continue on.

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh, I thought it was like they did all the whole thing in like one episode.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_05]: It's like eight episodes.

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_03]: For one floor?

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Damn.

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_05]: And my, my question again, this doesn't matter, but like, I really want to know if they get

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_05]: to go home at night and think about their category and then they come back or is it

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_05]: shot all in one day?

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I would imagine they're at least shot in like a good handful, but yeah, because otherwise

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_01]: like you could easily study up on your subject if you need a refresher in between tapings.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, but if I, you know, challenge someone and then I'm getting country music, it's over

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_05]: because I only know Beyonce country.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm, yeah.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, I do have a plan that I will go to the very niche.

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_01]: According to Sports Kita, it was five days of filming with two episodes a day for most

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: of it.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_05]: So not, okay.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_05]: That feels fair.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Did you ever want to be on a game show, Dwight?

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Was that like your, your early thoughts about wanting to be on TV?

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So this is going to, it's interesting.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, funny enough.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I like found some, like when I found Survivor because I wanted to do that, did it.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_03]: But funny enough, I have been on two other game shows.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I was, so I, I'm not sure you, some of you are able to find these out there.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I was on Price is Right with my mom.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, in 2018, um, it was, it was the Mother's Day thing.

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_03]: So my mom, I was in school in California, right?

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_03]: So my mom, one time she was coming to visit me.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_03]: She went to LA for a few days beforehand as well.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Went to a Price is Right taping.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_03]: She said it was fun.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And, and I was like, oh, there's a Mother's Day taping and happening like before Christmas

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_03]: break.

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So let's just go to that one together and watch.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So we went to that taping.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_03]: They chose us.

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, because.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm pulling back the curtain a bit on Price is Right.

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not random.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not completely random guys.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just show some kind of personality in the line and they'll probably pick you.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Danny, to be fair, did say that.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_01]: We talked with Danny from Amazing Race.

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_01]: He talked about how you had to give like the 30 second pitch on yourself basically when they're

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: going through the line.

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it was like we went, it was like, apparently like my mom thinks they recognize

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_03]: her for the first time, which I kind of believe that.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, we just wore like this bright pink clothing.

[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_03]: She had a flower in her hair.

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_03]: We're just like, yeah, they're going to pick us.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_03]: They did.

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_03]: So they picked us.

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_03]: We went up there.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_03]: We did.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_03]: We got on the stage.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_03]: We did a game.

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_03]: We got some Amazon speakers, which are still in my parents' house.

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Like they love them.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_03]: We could have gotten a card, but whatever.

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking right now.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: You, you were able to play any number and you put an Amazon Echo show, a spot, two dots

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and a plus or a mini Cooper hardtop.

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_05]: How do you pull this up so fast?

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh my God.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_05]: How'd you pull this up so quick?

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_05]: I've only made it to the price is right.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01]: The dark web has all of the price is right info.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_01]: You just got to ask the right people.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyways.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we did the wheel, everything.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_03]: We spun a 90 and the family ever spun a dollar.

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like, are you kidding me?

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm done.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's sad.

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_03]: But no, it was, it was, it was like the people who won.

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_03]: They're so nice.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so glad they did.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_03]: So you've got a little speaker.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_03]: That was cool.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And then even before that, when I was 14, this was all happened like randomly.

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't like, I sought this out.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It was my mom saw this thing on Facebook.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, it was like, who wants to be a millionaire kids edition?

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just like, Ooh, and my mom's like, Hey, you can look at this.

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, sure.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll apply, I guess, whatever.

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And then I went to some like summer camp, uh, and, um, I was doing some like, I think

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_03]: it was, um, really it was for pharmacy.

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I was just in the chemistry stuff.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I went to some camp in, um, I think it was Georgia at the time.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And then my mom calls me last day.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, Hey, so the who wants to be a millionaire people kind of want to interview

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_03]: you.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like, Oh, this is actually, we're doing this.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So did that.

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_03]: They like, it was for eight to 14 year olds.

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_03]: So they, they eventually chose me for that.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, okay, cool.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, flew us out to Vegas for a couple of days and it was like two days of tape.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_03]: There were like 20 of us kids, right?

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Eight to 14 years old.

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I was 14.

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like the second oldest kid there.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, and, uh, they, it was like two days, no, three days of filming episodes.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Three days of filming episodes Wednesday to Friday.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so, and then they said, okay, we'll choose guys in a random order to go film.

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It's supposed to be three weeks worth of episodes.

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_03]: We've taped three days, three weeks worth of filming.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's just all of us get to play.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_03]: We get there.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_03]: They change it to be two weeks only of episodes.

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Guess who didn't actually play?

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that was fun.

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, it was even worse.

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause like, so it was 20 of them.

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I think they ended up doing 14, 14 people got to play, but they did eventually call my name.

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I was in makeup and everything.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I was backstage ready to go on stage.

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Next.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: The producers came in and said, Hey, so we just finished filming for the entire two sessions.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry about that.

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, you're not getting to play.

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so I obviously not.

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I literally, I was supposed to go on next.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but as a consolation, because there was another kid in front of me who was like nine,

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_03]: nine who also, I'm sorry.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I was second in line.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause there was a kid in front of me who was also, who was already had makeup done.

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_03]: He was like standing on stage ready to go out.

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_03]: They told him that he was going on.

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_03]: This kid, um, like I said, was nine or 10 was bawling his eyes out.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I was upset.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I was annoyed, but I was just like, damn.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so, uh, producers then came to me and said, listen, you, you're fine.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I wasn't crying.

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_03]: They're just like, okay, we're going to do a quick thing.

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to do a random segment where we pull an audience member to answer a question.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_03]: So I got randomly pulled from the audience to answer a question.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It's all a sham.

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing random in game shows.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_03]: NDA is getting breached.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but yeah, they randomly pulled me for that.

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And I answered the question, got it right.

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Got a thousand dollars.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_03]: That was fun.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_05]: At least.

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I know, but I did watch like, cause you know, I was obsessed.

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, I found the episodes and watched them back.

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause like, oh, if I got to play, how would I have done?

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I was reminder.

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I was 14 years old.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_03]: The question for eight to 14 year olds.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I played through every single game that the other kids did.

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I, this is not me being like ego to do this.

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I would not have walked away with less than $250,000.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_03]: So I was like, damn, that would have been nice.

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, like the questions, like, I don't think I got limited on any other questions.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_03]: The kids watch.

[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_03]: And one kid didn't make like $500,000 question.

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, okay.

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the ones who made it pretty far, I knew literally every answer.

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_03]: So it was frustrating to watch back.

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it was on YouTube.

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, okay, that's fun.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Love that.

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but I mean, survivor happened.

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So I was very happy that I did.

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but you know, it was like, it's funny to me.

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause people on Twitter would be like, but you need to have been on the show to go and do brother survivor.

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just like, no, it's just literally, I just, these happen randomly because I have a personality and they like, price is right.

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_03]: You just show a heartbeat and a pulse and you have personality.

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_03]: You'll get on the show.

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_03]: The other one I just applied randomly got on.

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just like.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So you heard it here first.

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela from big brother, not a plant just chosen because of her sparkling personality.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the thing.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, guys, it's just, she probably just went to the show and they liked her a lot.

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not because she's not a plant for production because she went on prices.

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Was I a production plant on survivor?

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you really think I was a production plant on survivor guys?

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Answer your question there.

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_05]: The amazing race.

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_03]: We're not production plants.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, so yeah, that's, it's very funny to always see the argument though, because I'm like, no, I, it wasn't even my goal.

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It just kind of happened.

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Be like, what are you going to do?

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Someone call Tuesdays.

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, you want to be on who wants to be a millionaire?

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_03]: No, thanks.

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to be on the show where I could win money for answering questions.

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for the offer.

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Bye.

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, of course I'm going to do it.

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Of course.

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_05]: And what a like cool experience.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_05]: The behind the scenes of all these shows is like always so fun.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Granted, I only have, like I said, limited knowledge in India, but still it's just, it's so fast.

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_05]: You got to go to TRL.

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Basically I did play and win, but it's just, it's so fun.

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, I don't know.

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I really enjoy how all the background stuff works.

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_05]: But you know, listen, since we're talking about this, I feel like Dwight must have thought

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_05]: about this or not.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_05]: And now we're going to make him.

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_05]: But if you were, you know, to be a part of a scripted TV show, do you, do you, do you

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_05]: have one that you'd want to be a part of?

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Be a part of a scripted TV show?

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I've never thought about this actually.

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh.

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, that is a tough question actually.

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't think of one on my head.

[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Fair, fair.

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, what are, I guess maybe this will help Joggle.

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, what are some shows that you like to watch now?

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether it's like stuff that's currently on, whether it's stuff that like you put on as

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_01]: a comfort show that you've watched a million times.

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, that's, that's what's just true because I don't really watch random.

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't have like a TV.

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't have cable here.

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't like throw on the show randomly.

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, for like to answer my question earlier, for me, I'll just, if I have something I

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_03]: want to watch on Netflix, Disney Plus, it's Target.

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I will go and seek it out.

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't really do stuff randomly, um, anymore.

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Like it's the Star Wars stuff, random Disney Plus shows, random Marvel shows.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I think it was, I was watching it back in an old show that I used to watch, um, Leverage.

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like a, uh, I'm not sure if you've heard of that one.

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like a.

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Crime, like kind of crime solving.

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes.

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That was, I would try like when I was younger, so I was re-watching some of those episodes

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_03]: of that.

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, what else did I watch?

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, it's, it's hard because like a lot of the shows are like other shows where

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_03]: it's like, you know, these Marvel, Star Wars, I don't want to be a character in these shows.

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_03]: There's just like catastrophic events happening every other week.

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to be there.

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll give you plot immunity.

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_03]: You won't die in those.

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, plot immunity.

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Lovely.

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, yeah, yeah, you're, you're, you can be main character if you want.

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_03]: That's up to you.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_03]: No, that's too much.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_03]: That's too much work with the main character.

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Nah, that wasn't even in these Star Wars and shows like they're, they're getting in fights

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_03]: all the time.

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I just want to chill.

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to vibe.

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to relax.

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Listen, so.

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_05]: So Roseanne got it.

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_01]: The good times reboot.

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_05]: They were in like the ghetto.

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Like what were they doing on the projects?

[00:43:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Like bizarre.

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that was in the, in the original too, but it was like more.

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay.

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It was like the, the, the sequel.

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_03]: They really made it seem like a.

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like they hammed it up.

[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe that's.

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And like in that trailer, it may seem like a really, I don't know.

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It was more of an uplifting message in the, in the.

[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_03]: It was more so a positive spin.

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think the second one has a positive spin on like even from the trailer, it just

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_03]: seemed genuinely derogatory.

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm just like, why are you making this?

[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I will not start lamb.

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I will stop lambasting the show.

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it is for one that they made it.

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Good times derogatory.

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It genuinely is like, that's what the second one is.

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Why did they.

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Ash of Halloween was good.

[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I think they did a, on recap came.

[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I think.

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, did he watch the recap of Lord.

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I believe, but don't quote me.

[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to text him about that so badly now and see if he hated it as much as I think.

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.

[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_05]: We just gotta watch it.

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But it is interesting to your point about how, yeah, I don't necessarily like to hear

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_01]: about your differing perspectives, Sasha as well.

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And that you seem to still kind of live in kind of the channel surfing model of like,

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah, I'll throw something on in the background and then, you know, whatever pops up will pop

[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_01]: up.

[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Like that still exists somewhere.

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Pluto TV is still something that like, I think has become a bit popular because of that,

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_01]: that it's almost a happy medium where it's like, oh, I like episodes of Star Trek, the

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_01]: next generation, but I don't want to pick a very specific episode.

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me just kind of throw it on.

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And I really have no power as to pick what I want to watch.

[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to kind of watch it and then follow it along with limited commercial interruption.

[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That feels like maybe a nice middle point between having everything specifically tailored for you

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and you being overwhelmed by so much and just like, you know, turning on an electronic device

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and picking anything that might fall in your lap.

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Listen, that remote work will have you on cable so fast.

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I just want to watch Bar Rescue sometime.

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_01]: What's your favorite streaming service, Dwight?

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it Disney Plus because of all that stuff?

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It's been Disney Plus recently.

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Mainly, I will say, because of I can download episodes to my phone because I'm on a plane.

[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I can just watch it offline because you have to pay for that.

[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Like premium on the other ones.

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Disney Plus is like, you want to download like 10 episodes to your phone?

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Go for it.

[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_03]: God said, love that.

[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's kind of just getting track traveling a lot.

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Like when I see people are going home, it's nice to be able to go on a flight.

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sleeping.

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I sleep on flights all the time.

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_03]: But how about y'all?

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Really goes.

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm, you know, subscribed to way too many of them.

[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But that is sort of like the nature of the beast.

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I am, it's tough because I have live TV through Hulu.

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's the one that I've watched the most.

[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say I check out a lot of original content on there.

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But like, I always love what FX and its subsidiaries are doing.

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So I would probably say from an original content perspective, it's most likely Hulu,

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_01]: especially given sort of like the direction Star Wars and Marvel has been going in terms

[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_01]: of quality.

[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That seems to be one of the most like rock solid networks in terms of IP.

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_03]: What is, what on FX do you like?

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Like what is there?

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Loved Fargo when it's like coming out.

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like it's not FX, but like, you know, the bear is a part of that.

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Always Sunny is a part of that.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Shogun.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_01]: English teacher, actually.

[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I started watching a couple episodes of English teacher.

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That's, that's a very fun show.

[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I know a lot of people compare it to Abbott because they're like, oh, it's about schools.

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It is not.

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's, it's FX.

[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's more like, uh, I would say Abbott cross with something like it's always sunny

[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_01]: where it's more, it's darker.

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It's more crass, but it's, it's very, very fun.

[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I very much recommend it.

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay.

[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to watch it.

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I wasn't sure.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_05]: How we felt about it.

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Perfect.

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_05]: We'll be adding for me.

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Funny enough.

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it is Amazon prime.

[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I was thinking about this because it was Netflix for a while because I think Netflix

[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_05]: is UI is one of the best.

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_05]: And I don't know why these other people can't figure it out.

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_05]: That's really, it's like a personal frustration, but I think Amazon prime has the best shows.

[00:48:07] [SPEAKER_05]: And again, because I like to watch a lot of Indian TV shows and stuff.

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Amazon just has the best, uh, Indian original shows like made in heaven is so good.

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Everyone should watch it.

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, and it's just, it's really, again, feels like fun and topical.

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, and Amazon prime, I think pushes the boundaries maybe that.

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Like just like FX where it's not like this cookie cutter.

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Did an algorithm write this, which is where Netflix, I feel like is going.

[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, especially with like, I don't know if y'all watch chaos, but that got canceled

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_01]: after one season.

[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's very, it's just Jeff Goldblum as a God.

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Like where can you go wrong?

[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And Emma Thompson.

[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Chaos.

[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_01]: K K A O S.

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I, I, I see.

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Cool.

[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it seems like an intriguing concept.

[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_01]: It's an intriguing concept.

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_01]: The problem is, is that like, because everything gets released at once on Netflix, it's like,

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_01]: you gotta start doing stuff in the first six weeks or otherwise we're going to get like,

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_01]: there's no long tail to this show.

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It's got to start putting butts in these chairs immediately or else it's getting cut.

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And so it really has to be about overcoming this hill of, okay, you might not know about

[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_01]: this show, but you're going to want to check it out in this weekend or else we can't make

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_01]: another season of it.

[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, Emily in Paris gets like 17 seasons.

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_03]: How do y'all feel about the, uh, like nowadays people release like batch dropping episodes

[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_03]: versus just like releasing weekly.

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Like how do y'all feel about that?

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, the weekly release versus dropping all at once.

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_05]: It depends on the show because I feel like otherwise I'm going to sound so hypocritical.

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Bridgerton.

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_05]: How dare you?

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_05]: You know what I mean?

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Be serious.

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Shut up.

[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Bridgerton.

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_05]: They give us eight episodes, maybe 10.

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't even know.

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Cause I'm sure.

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Four and four.

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_05]: So four and four.

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Same with Emily in Paris.

[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Are you kidding me to do like half and half?

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't remember what happened in the last episode,

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_05]: let alone the last season for Emily in Paris.

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_05]: So I just feel like they're playing me on these silly shows.

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Just release them.

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_05]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_05]: But Shogun was amazing to be week to week.

[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_05]: And I feel like a Marvel show, if it's good, it's really great week to week.

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Because I love to get caught up in the online discussion of it all.

[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_05]: If it's like, and Shogun specifically, I felt like I was learning so much in that week to week where it was like, oh, this is what the book said.

[00:50:52] [SPEAKER_05]: And actually, this is what Japanese feudal culture is.

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_05]: And here's where like they're doing it different.

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_05]: And then you'd learn from the people that the showrunners and they would say, oh, here's how we worked really hard on, you know, making this correct.

[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Blah, blah, blah.

[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_05]: So if it's a good show, I'll allow it to be weekly.

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_05]: But Emily in Paris, how dare you?

[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I am much more of a basic bitch and with the weekly model, because to Sasha's point, a I like the engagement from it.

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like having to do the sort of tender foot.

[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, I'm at this part.

[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you at this part?

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Almost like a book club in that regard of like, OK, how far are you into this?

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_01]: How much can I talk about it with you?

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The other thing being is that like I have such a varied diet in my television watching.

[00:51:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I am still really used to like watch an episode of this thing, watch an episode of that thing, watch an episode of this thing.

[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And then the calendar refreshes and we do it all over again that I'm just not a binger in general.

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Look at me.

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm alive.

[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't necessarily go through my metabolism.

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And so it's tough for me to like binge through a bunch of stuff and also remember a good amount of the details that happen with it.

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll more so take away a general vibe than.

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And oh, yes, I remember in episode four when this specific thing happened, even if it is like a very detailed show, it just all runs together.

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Agreed.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_05]: What about you?

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Are you?

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm more of the I like the weekly.

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't do like the online discussion for shows a lot more than just the also like if I'm just having to be too busy to watch one of the day it drops like, oh, and if I even see one tweet about it, it gets me spoiled for me.

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_03]: So I have to avoid like all devices because Twitter algorithm does its thing.

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's like I looked up the show one time and suddenly you say, oh, you look it up before it came out.

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_03]: You're all the spoilers for the people from people talking about it.

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I can't mute every word in existence.

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the show.

[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_03]: You try your best.

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So we talked about with Mo last week, right?

[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That like if you don't watch an episode of a show, there's a good chance that your algorithm will just take people that are posting video clips from it and put it together.

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So you basically don't need to watch it.

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_01]: You just can see all the highlights online.

[00:53:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I do.

[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I've kind of I think I've watched Big Brother episodes like that for the past like year or two.

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But like I'm not going to watch a lot.

[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So just like I have a few accounts that post the clips like the competition clip.

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Cool.

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_03]: The one fight clip drama.

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_03]: The meeting.

[00:53:14] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, that's it.

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_03]: All I need to do.

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Save my time.

[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm hmm.

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Dwight, if there was a scripted adaptation of Survivor 43, who would be cast to play you?

[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I have an answer and I'll be intrigued to see if it matches up.

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I Mitch McConnell.

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yale, Yale.

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I want her arrested.

[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know who to talk to.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Minutes without making that joke.

[00:53:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Fifty two.

[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I would be proud of that.

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_03]: You made it.

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_03]: You made it.

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Fifty two minutes in.

[00:53:56] [SPEAKER_03]: You just not made it.

[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_03]: You just held off.

[00:54:00] [SPEAKER_03]: You were saving that.

[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_03]: You were just waiting for it.

[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I really wasn't.

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I really didn't.

[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't believe you.

[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know who was claiming.

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_03]: What are you going to say?

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't think of it.

[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it's because this show was mentioned earlier in the podcast, but I could absolutely

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_01]: see Tyler James Williams playing Dwight Moore.

[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_05]: It's the dry humor.

[00:54:23] [SPEAKER_05]: It's exactly.

[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's that like low, dry.

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my.

[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It's that nerdiness.

[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Like it's it really fits you to a T.

[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I do like gardening.

[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm just kidding.

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_05]: No, it's the way like Dwight looks at us when he's like mad and he'll just like kind of

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_05]: just stare us down until we're like, OK, we're kidding or whatever.

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I am never mad.

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I never get upset at you guys.

[00:54:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I love my friends so much and I never get upset at anything.

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, you lie on the podcast.

[00:54:58] [SPEAKER_03]: No, never, never.

[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my God.

[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_05]: That's so good.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Because I was really trying to think who is like funny.

[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Like Dwight.

[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_05]: That's where I was getting stuck.

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.

[00:55:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm funny now.

[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I love that.

[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_05]: But like that dry humor.

[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_03]: You're not.

[00:55:15] [SPEAKER_03]: You're not hilarious.

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_03]: You just kind of dry humor.

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:55:18] [SPEAKER_05]: The dead.

[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's so good.

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_05]: And everybody like really does hate Dwight.

[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_04]: I get bullied by.

[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_05]: So that's exactly what happens.

[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_05]: All the characters work.

[00:55:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.

[00:55:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, everyone may hate Dwight, but we love you.

[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.

[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_01]: You on this podcast.

[00:55:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Two minutes in.

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess he's all right.

[00:55:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess he can be here.

[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a perfect way to book out the podcast.

[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_05]: You are not so bad for Dwight, everyone.

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Just tune in on.

[00:55:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I just feel like.

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Just see why.

[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_05]: No, y'all.

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Just see why.

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_03]: You see what I deal with here, guys.

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Have empathy.

[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Sympathy for me.

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_03]: My ordeal.

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_03]: My.

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_03]: The problems I go through.

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Outside of a call for sympathy, Dwight.

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything else you want to plug?

[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything else you want to talk about in the realm of scripted TV?

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm scary.

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't think of anything.

[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_05]: What do you mean?

[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Blood on the clock tower.

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_05]: What else?

[00:56:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Check out your screen.

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, sorry.

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_05]: My blood on the clock tower is not scripted.

[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It is.

[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_03]: No, you do follow a script in giving out roles to people.

[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_03]: That is true.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But, you know, I do that every Saturday and Monday now with Saturday with the RHAB crew

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and Survivor and Big Brother and other folks.

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Mondays with the RHAB patrons in general.

[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's been going super well.

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That twitch.tv slash doing more.

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Or I have to remember my own channel name for a second because I'm brain fart.

[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, doing more is a channel name.

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, if you ever want to internet, come by.

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Also, there's a game on RHAB's YouTube channel that was edited.

[00:56:58] [SPEAKER_03]: We made that a couple months ago and it's finally live.

[00:57:00] [SPEAKER_03]: So watch that if you're interested.

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_03]: We play the introductory script.

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think it's a good way if you've never played the game before to get introduced to

[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_03]: how the game is played.

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_03]: You'll see all the conversations happening like in conjunction with each other.

[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's a really good way to understand how the game is played and what the roles do.

[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And if you like that, then come up to your stream afterwards.

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Sasha, besides demeaning Dwight, what do you have going on?

[00:57:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my gosh.

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_05]: If you want to know more about celebrity culture, why something's trending,

[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_05]: you know, why we should bully Dwight.

[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I'm just kidding.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Check out messmagnets.com where Kirsten McInnes and I are just yapping, being girlies.

[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, and, you know, talking about why we're in an alliance.

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_05]: You'll know all about it on messmagnets.com.

[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_01]: What are you covering this week in terms of celebrity gossip?

[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, this week, I believe we're going to be talking a lot about the what's in the rug follow up.

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yes, because we did cover what's in the rug.

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_05]: We talked about it a lot.

[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_05]: But, um, is what's in the rug?

[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_01]: The Al Capone's vault of the 2020s.

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Can you imagine?

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Spoiler alert.

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_05]: It was nothing.

[00:58:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so it was the Al Capone's vault of the 2020s.

[00:58:13] [SPEAKER_05]: True.

[00:58:13] [SPEAKER_03]: What is this?

[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_03]: What's in the rug?

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a TikTok thing.

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Please listen to messmagnets.

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_05]: You'll know.

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I will listen.

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_05]: I will listen to the time.

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, and there's a time, so you don't have to listen to everything else if you don't want to.

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, but, oh, and did you guys know that Stefan Diggs was allegedly, allegedly, allegedly sleeping with Cardi B?

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_01]: When she was eight months pregnant?

[00:58:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I saw that.

[00:58:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Because, again, it feels like a follow-up episode.

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Because I, again, was like, guys, Cardi B allegedly was also cheating on Offset, but I don't know what to.

[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And then this comes out.

[00:58:49] What the hell?

[00:58:51] [SPEAKER_05]: But apparently, Stefan Diggs is the hoes and just is, it just is everyone spinning the ball on him.

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He's playing for a lot of teams.

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Correct.

[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_05]: So, ladies, apparently, if you want to get back at your man, Stefan Diggs is waiting for you.

[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_01]: If you want the ultimate revenge game, get with Stefan Diggs.

[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my God.

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my God.

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Imagine.

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, you're fine.

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_05]: It's okay.

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_05]: But, yeah, so for all of this mess, check out Mess Magnets.

[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_05]: And, of course, we are now going live after the episodes for Dancing with the Stars.

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Ooh.

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_05]: And we had such a fun time, well, at the time of this recording, this was last night, where Matt Liguori and Izzy, Queen Izzy, joined us to talk about Dancing with the Stars, Gene Simmons, Crazy Ass.

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_05]: And Brooks and Gleb.

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we were talking with Dwight earlier offline about everything that was going on with Gene Simmons and Dancing with the Stars.

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It was quite amusing to see his reaction to it.

[00:59:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_05]: And especially this, like, the hair metal one.

[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my God.

[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_05]: What an episode.

[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Soul Train and I didn't have much, aside from Dwight Howard rocking the, like, end the mode, Bob.

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Twitter told me I don't know about that.

[01:00:13] [SPEAKER_03]: That was funny.

[01:00:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my gosh.

[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_05]: But, yes.

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my God.

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_05]: The hairy metal.

[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_05]: And, listen, the fact that it was live with Izzy and Matt.

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my God.

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_05]: So good.

[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Everyone, please check that out.

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_05]: But, yeah, that is it.

[01:00:27] [SPEAKER_05]: What about you, Mike?

[01:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So the usual stuff from the reality TV perspective.

[01:00:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Survivor, Big Brother, The Challenge.

[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Masked Singer.

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I posted about this on Twitter, but a bit Nicole Brown watched a Brent Steele.

[01:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: That was wild.

[01:00:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Then on the scripted side of things, covering the Penguin, which I am now all in on.

[01:00:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And we had Chappelle on Down the Hatch.

[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: He has watched all of Lost in about a three-month clip.

[01:00:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And so Josh and I basically brought him on to ask him a bunch of questions.

[01:00:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And then he asked us a bunch of questions, because Lost leaves you with a bunch of questions.

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a very fun time.

[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Chappelle gets Lost.

[01:01:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Should be coming to your feed soon before we start on Battlestar Galactica.

[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Besides that, Sasha and I will be back next week with another reality star talking scripted TV.

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, for those of you that will be in New York for the live show, you'll see me there.

[01:01:22] [SPEAKER_01]: You'll see Dwight there.

[01:01:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Let us know how you thought this podcast went.

[01:01:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Have some kind words for Dwight, perhaps.

[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_01]: See if there's another person you want to cast in his stead in the live action.

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I said live action remake.

[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Live action remake.

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I love it.

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I love that.

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, sometimes Modern Survivor kind of seems like a cartoon.

[01:01:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, maybe that seems to be the case.

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_05]: On Turtle Drama Island.

[01:01:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[01:01:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But feel free to let us know some other reality stars that we might want to have here talking about their scripted TV taste, past, present, and future.

[01:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much, Dwight.

[01:01:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Sasha, thank you.

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_01]: As for usual, we'll be back once again with another episode of TV for Real.

[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Until then, everybody, it's been real.
