1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand, Chris.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Merril, I am sixty.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 3: We've got the incomparable doctor Wendy Waals joining us at seven.

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: Doctor Wendy after dark. She gets dirty after dark, Doctor

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: Wendy dirty after dark.

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 4: No, I don't think it gets I don't really think

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: it's dirty.

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: Now, could you tell her to work on that? No

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: step upper game a little bit.

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 5: I will not do that now. Sex Cells does it

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 5: in five Yeah, stuff out there? Yeah right, and we

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 5: got ratings to think about. You know, we all talk

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 5: to her.

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do, we do.

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 6: Chris Merrill's show is absolutely terrific. Makes sense. They are

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 6: barely paying him a living wage. Ratings be damned. He

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 6: marches on, Oh.

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe we don't have to worry about ratings.

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: Work cheap apparently.

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 7: Not, thanks Jim.

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 8: I like that he's concerned about your wages though. That's

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 8: been a love that too.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah sounds like a crush, Like you're like his concerned

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: that I can't make my pain, but I really care

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: about it.

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: Well, you nailed that one too.

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: You know what people are doing now to save money

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: because streaming service is getting They are getting coke, razy,

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: stupid expensive. They keep jumping up. Every time I turn around,

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: they're raising the price again. And now I think I

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: think HBO is like nineteen to eighteen or nineteen dollars

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: if you want no commercials. Netflix is the same thing

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: if you want no commercials. And for Pete's sake, there's

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: so much buzz. And credit to the studios and the

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: streamers for creating buzz around their products and getting us

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: all talking about it. But you get this, you get

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: this fomo right, Like, oh man, I don't want to

38
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: miss out on it. So this new show is out,

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: and I want to miss out on this. Well it

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: got us. My wife called. She says, you know what

41
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: I want for Christmas? And I said, um, gonna guess

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: it's expensive. She goes, no, it's Netflix. I go, yeah,

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: that's expensive. So I have Netflix again. But honestly, there

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: were a bunch of shows that had come out since

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: I canceled it almost two years ago that I thought, Okay,

46
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: well I'd like to see that. So you know, I'm

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: trying to catch up on Wednesday, and I restarted Stranger

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: Things out on these things. You did this fomo right,

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: But the stuff is so stupid expensive. But then as

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: soon as you drop it, you're like, oh, should I

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: kept that? Oh maybe I shouldn't have dropped that one.

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: So actually you can drop it. You can and some

53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: people are employing a new tactics. It's called churning. So

54
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: it's the end of fomo subscriptions. You don't feel like

55
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: you have to pay for every app just to stay current.

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: Subscription fatigue is real. Rotating services lets you chase only

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: what you actually want.

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: It makes perfect sense for me.

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: I'm always just worried that I end up in one

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: of those commercials where they're like, did you know you

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: had three Netflix subscriptions? Like, oh, oh yeah, So instead

62
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: of instead of subscribing to all the different streamers, a

63
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: lot of people are rotating subscriptions. Subscribers watch the show

64
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 3: or they watch the content, they binge everything they want

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: on one platform, then they cancel it, then they sign

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 3: up for another service, go watch a different show, binge

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: that for a while, then cancel them, then sign up

68
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 3: and lather wins, repeat, right, and so what some people

69
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: what this is part of the reason you've got the

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: ads supported tears because they don't like people churning. So

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: they go, okay, well, you know what rather than signing

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: up for US for eighteen dollars and then signing up

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: for HBO for eighteen dollars, and the signing up for

74
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: Paramount for twelve dollars and Hulu.

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: For whatever you know, you get it.

76
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: I don't even know how much these things break down

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: to now, because everything's bundled together with the Disney Hulu

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: ESPN or you get Disney Hulu Max and I've got

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: I got Apple and Peacock now offered a bundle together.

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: So I couldn't even tell you what the breakdown is

81
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: on these now. I know that's poor accounting on my part.

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: I just don't have the energy, and as long as

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: my wife is happy, then I just keep it. And

84
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: if I don't have any money in the bank at

85
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: the end of the month, then I skip something that month.

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: You know, I walk to work instead of buying gas

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: or something. Just keep the wife happy, that's the point.

88
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: Keep the wife happy. But this is part of the

89
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: reason they went to the AD supported tears. I also

90
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: think a big reason they went to the AD supported

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: tears is so that they could raise the price and

92
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: get more money out of us for those of us

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 3: that didn't want to watch the ads in the first place.

94
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: But we've really gotten to that point where we're almost

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: back to where we were when.

96
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: We had cable.

97
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: The difference is, for now there are really great original

98
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 3: content programs coming out on the streaming services. My concern

99
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: is as we start to see all this consolidation happening

100
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: and they start to hit peak subscribership and more and

101
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 3: more people start churning subscriptions, My worry is that it's

102
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: going to go downhill fast and if all of a

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: sudden they go, how do we get a few more

104
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: dollars out of these people that they're gonna start saying, Man,

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: we don't need to put so much money into our production.

106
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: Maybe we don't pay those good directors, Maybe we don't

107
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: pay those great writers.

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we would just come up with more reality shows,

109
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: love Island for everyone.

110
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've actually got a bigger fit. I've actually got

111
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 9: a fair as well that go on with So I

112
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 9: have an AMC pass typically, but I just canceled it,

113
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 9: and I think, you know, allowed to resubscribe to AMC

114
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 9: like AMC to see movies in the theater for six months,

115
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 9: and I always right, I worried that the streaming services

116
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 9: will eventually do that and not let you cancel in

117
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 9: and out as easily, because I do the churning thing

118
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 9: interesting myself.

119
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: I'm really interested. Boy would they do that? And if

120
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: they all did that at once, that would look like collusion,

121
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: which is a no no in the free market system

122
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: that we have. However, man, are they willing to chase

123
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: seven dollars this month and seven dollars three months from now?

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: Or are they willing to say you can't come back? Oh? Boy,

125
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: that's good.

126
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 8: It's a tough question because people start making the deal,

127
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 8: like I really want to see strange of things, right,

128
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 8: I guess I'll I guess I'll subscribe for six months,

129
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 8: even though I can get through it in two weeks.

130
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, huh, that's interesting that they would do that.

131
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: I have noticed that anytime I go to subscribe dump

132
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: a subscription, they an't offer me a cheaper price.

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: That just happened to me with Peacock because I had

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: a I had it last year.

135
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 3: They were offering it for two dollars a month, and

136
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: so I set my I do this, I set my

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: calendar in to remind me to cancel it, and I did,

138
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: And then they now offer it as a package with

139
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: Apple TV. So I picked it up through Apple TV

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: and it basically cost me about the same again. However,

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: when I went to cancel it, they said, oh, did

142
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: we tell you we were gonna charge one hundred dollars

143
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: next year? Well what if we made that like forty dollars?

144
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: And it's like okay, So a lot of these places

145
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: will give you a discount if you if you threaten

146
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: to cancel.

147
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 8: Which makes me think that, oh that they were overcharging

148
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 8: me to begin with, one.

149
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: Hundred percent agree with you. Absolutely.

150
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: It irks me when I get those those deals because

151
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: then I'm like, why'd you writ me off for the

152
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: last year?

153
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: Then turds?

154
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: All right, more of your your talkbacks on what is

155
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: the show you'd like to see rebooted?

156
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: That is next we continue. There's no business like shelf business.

157
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: It's Chris Merril.

158
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 7: on my list, which would be six feet under.

172

00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one.

175
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: That I think i'd like to see really happen is Bewitched,

176
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: a modern day version of Bewitched.

177
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: You can put some cool actress in there and have

178
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: all kind of crazy things going on. Yeah, they did

179
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: the movie, right, Who would we have play?

180
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 5: Would Margot Robbie playgot Robbie?

181
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: Right?

182
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, Margot Robbi would be perfect.

183
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: Man, I hate it when you when I think of like,

184
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: I think we've been working to go to that is dangerous.

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 7: Well, she would be perfect. I think that's just undeni. Yeah,

186
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 7: if you think anybody else just I don't know what

187
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 7: you're doing.

188
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: Isla Fisher, Oh, Isla Fisher would be good. Isla Fisher

189
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: would be good. Actually, I can think of a few.

190
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 7: I have to calm down, like Robbie and then stop.

191
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 7: Fisher's good.

192
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 8: Well, you could put Margot Robby in anything. That'd be amazing.

193
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: That's true.

201
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,319

Speaker 2: Interview means porn? No, it is not.

208
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 7: I was just trying to get to the bottom interviews.

Speaker 3: I like doing interviews, especially when I can interview somebody

215
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:46,240

216

Speaker 3: that has to be interesting people.

217
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 11: Than watching a show called Joan of Arcadia.

00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 12: I really love it.

219
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:54,520

Speaker 2: Hey, Chris, hey need to do a reboot of Emergency.

225
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: We need a little more Johnny and Roy in our lives.

226
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Oh, there you go. You're going to old school. There's

227
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: like a seventies medical drama, Tayla. It's right up your alley.

228
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, I gotta check that one out.

229
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. You are a millennial. You're in

230
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: a millennial body. But you're you're obviously a boomer.

231
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: You're a boomer. Yes you are? Yeah, I am, Yeah

232
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: you are.

233
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 7: No argument.

234
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 8: But going Back to the Pit just came out, So

235
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 8: I feel like that's, oh.

236
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's basically reboot, yeah with a modern twist.

237
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, although Emergency was they were paramedics, so it's it'd

238
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: be more like a Chicago fire or something.

239
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: Okay, one of those.

240
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 12: Hey, Chris, I finally thought of a TV show like

241
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 12: come Back and it is. Yeah, children, I mean, who

242
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 12: doesn't love al Bundy.

243
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: Who Yeah, everybody loves al Bundy.

244
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 12: Probably a new cast though I don't know if you'd

245
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 12: supporth to do with the same cast, but definitely that

246
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 12: show in that format should come back.

247
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

248
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: The trouble with a show like that, and for many

249
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: of you, you're listing shows that are great, they're iconic.

250
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: I think the hard part with rebooting an iconic show

251
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: is that you're forever comparing the reboot to the original,

252
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: And so either you do it exactly like the original

253
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 3: and you have actors that knock it out of the park,

254
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 3: or you put a twist on it and we all go,

255
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: that's not that's not how they did it in the original.

256
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: That's not how they did it. Doing a good reboot

257
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: is hard, really hard to do. Like, for instance, could

258
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 3: your reboot Cheers? I don't know that you could. I

259
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: don't know that you can reboot Cheers. Could you reboot Seinfeld?

260
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: Forget the argument that, oh, you could never do Seinfeld today?

261
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah you could. You can redo anything you want as

262
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: long as there's ratings. You're gonna have people complaining about

263
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: whatever you put on the air. Somebody's gonna say it's

264
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: too woke, somebody's gonna say it's not woke enough. Doesn't matter,

265
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 3: you're gonna have complaints. It's all about are people watching it?

266
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: Are you getting eyeballs on it? Is it making you money?

267
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 3: But I don't think you could reboot Seinfeld today because

268
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 3: you couldn't get someone who like Jason Alexander, who played

269
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: George Costanza the way that he did. You couldn't find

270
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: another Cramer. You couldn't find another uh uh uh uh?

271
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 2: What was their name?

272
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 12: Not?

273
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: All I'm thinking is Eileen? Now? What was that?

274
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: What was Julian leuied Riifus's character's name, Kayla in Seinfeld? Elaine, Elaine.

275
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: All I can think was Eileen.

276
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: Eileen just left? Okay.

277
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 3: Sometimes sometimes you surprise me. Sometimes you surprised me in

278
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: a bad way. I don't know how you didn't know

279
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: that I was. But then again I didn't know it either.

280
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: Say I can really point at you.

281
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 13: You, sir, are an get off the radio.

282
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,840

00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: on your phone, and it ends with you living in

285
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: a box. Now, researchers are warning this game is turning

286
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: very dark and it's it's growing for a group of

287
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: young men. Find out what it is next, Chris Merrill.

00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 14: had a fashion show in the store. We opened a

335
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 14: couple of bottles of my best champagne and start the insanity. Ah, yes,

Speaker 3: your bottle of champagne and go do a fashion show

340
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: without actually buying the lingerie?

341
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're playing Dracula and Dracula's wife. When we did it,

Speaker 7: you did? It was so much fun.

343
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,000

00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 11: Oh?

00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 7: Yeah? Who hasn't?

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: Do you know? That reminds me of this story.

347
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: It's not a it's not a Halloween store or excuse me,

348
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: a holiday story.

349
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: My wofe drags me into the Hallmark store.

350
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: Now you have to understand I am every bit as

351
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 3: a miserable person in real life as I am on

352
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: the air. I am just absolutely a curmudgeon, and my

353
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: poor wife deals with me. But also i'd begrudgingly go

354
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: along with whatever nonsense she wants to do. So she goes, well,

355
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: let's go into the Hallmark store. And I just go, No,

356
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: that sounds like absolute hell to me, and she goes,

357
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: it is get and I guess, ma'am, so I go.

358
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 3: But it's brutal. So we're walking around the Hallmark store.

359
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: She's looking at nick Knacks and other crap, and and

360
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 3: I start wandering around, which I have to do, and

361
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: I go and I find some card, some mushy, lovey

362
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 3: dovey crap card. And so I picked this card up

363
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: and I put it in an envelope and I took

364
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: it over to my wife and I said, sweetheart, I

365
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 3: got you a card, but I want to save us

366
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: some money, so I'm not going to buy it. And

367
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: she read the card and she's like, that was really sweet.

368
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 3: And you know me, you know that we didn't need

369
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: to spend money on that card.

370
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: That was so sweet.

371
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: And I thought, I'm just doing this thing to be obnoxious,

372
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: and somehow it backfired and I turned out to be

373
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: a great guy. God that stinks, because you know the

374
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 3: next time, she's been like, let's go to Hallmark again

375
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: and you can do something sweet for me one more.

470
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 3: So Ollie, thanks pal, you're you're doing that than you? Yeah,

471
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: you say that.

472
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: Now wait until you screw it up and I get

473
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: your ask hannd Hey, you know of christ he would

474
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: not do that.

475
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: I would absolutely do it first chance I get. Nothing

476
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: makes me happier than other people's misery.

477
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 10: He is lying.

478
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: I am lying. I'm totally lying. I was reading the

479
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: story and I wanted to run this by you, doctor, Wendy.

480
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: Singles are getting burned out and they're tired of doing

481
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: the whole online dating thing, which I totally get. But

482
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: they don't want to necessarily get out of the online

483
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 3: dating pool, so they're actually turning to other people to

484
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 3: run their.

485
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 10: Profiles, like AI.

486
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 3: Well, that would actually make more sense to me. And

487
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: in some cases you'd think that they would go to

488
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: their friends. No, many are going to their family members.

489
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 3: So they're having weekly family swiping sessions in creating that Yes,

490
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: heated debates, grammar policing, and veto power on different matches.

491
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: I like going match with this guy and mom doesn't

492
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: like him. This kind of stuff. Some parents are even

493
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: springing for premium app features to help weed out the

494
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 3: riff raff.

495
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: The parents are paying for the dating stuff, nice, they say.

496
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: Parental involvement has in some cases led to real relationships,

497
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: like a dad approved hinge match that sparked a move over.

498
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: Seas Oh yeah.

499
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 3: One participant compares the family process to an interactive bachelorette,

500
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: suggesting the dating apps are less about romance and more about.

501
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: The group critique.

502
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: Sounds to me like they're all just sitting around and

503
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: that's basically the dating life has become the reality show

504
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: for the family.

505
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 16: I'm saying, you loved it you, I love it, and

506
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 16: I'll tell you why please. So, first of all, we're

507
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 16: in a mating crisis, big old mating crisis, and we

508
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 16: actually are not replacing the population, have not been for

509
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 16: a while. Parents are upset because they don't have grandkids.

510
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 16: The government's upset because they're not having young there in

511
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 16: a few years, not enough young workers paying into the

512
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 16: system to help the older people. And I've always said

513
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 16: relationships are a bridge between tribes, and the best relationships

514
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 16: begin within the tribe. In the olden days, you lived

515
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 16: in a small town or village and there was a

516
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 16: small dating pool and it was kind of tribe approved

517
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 16: in some way. And so now it's a weird thing

518
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 16: to meet a stranger who is not part of your tribe,

519
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 16: not part of anything.

520
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 10: And so it's it's good the more people can weigh.

521
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 16: In, because the other thing is when somebody has a crush,

522
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 16: it's like they put on rose colored glasses. Love really

523
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 16: is a delusion, and they can't see. They just go,

524
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 16: oh my god, there's a gorgeous and they're are texting

525
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 16: me so nicely. I love that, and they're like, uh,

526
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 16: he doesn't have a job. Okay, you're not dating it right,

527
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 16: So I love this. The more people get involved the best.

528
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: So that feels like.

529
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: As much as you're so positive about relationships, that feels

530
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 3: like a very dark take on.

531
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: Somebody's tell you go on.

532
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 16: Relationships are the most important decision you will ever make

533
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 16: in your lifespan.

534
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 10: And as much as love.

535
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 16: Is filled with joy and pleasure, it can equally be

536
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 16: filled with danger. It can be dark. First of all,

537
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 16: one in four women will become victims of domestic violence.

538
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 16: When a woman is murdered, the most likely suspect is

539
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 16: her intimate partner. This is a life or death decision.

540
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 16: Don't make light of it, Chris.

541
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: I'm certainly not making light of it.

542
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: Indeed, however, I feel as though you're putting too much

543
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: darkness on something that I think is very beautiful. I mean,

544
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 3: I can't disagree with the statistics, and they are terrifying.

545
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 3: Please let me preface it by saying that. But at

546
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: the same time, had my wife been overly scrutinius of

547
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 3: our early relationship, we wouldn't have been together for twenty

548
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: one years because she would have very quickly said this

549
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: guy's moron, which.

550
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: She probably should have done.

551
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, but okay, have you cheated on her?

552
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 8: Be honest?

553
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 7: Okay?

554
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 16: Have you gone into deep bankruptcy with her money and

555
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 16: spend her money wildly in a casino?

556
00:26:59,080 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 12: Uh?

557
00:26:59,440 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: No?

558
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 10: Have you hit her?

559
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 12: No?

560
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 10: Have you abused the children?

561
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 12: No?

562
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 10: She chose.

563
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 3: Well, that's a pretty low bar. Do I fulfill her emotionally?

564
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 3: Do I match her when she needs me?

565
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 8: Do you know what?

566
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm constantly looking too much?

567
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 10: We ask too much of our relationships. We ask too much.

568
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: So really, the.

569
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: Bar is so low that what we're going to let

570
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 3: invite our family in to make it a reality.

571
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 10: Let's and still most men can't pass it.

572
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: Well, that's all right. Doctor Wenday after Dark starts right

573
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,880
