Although, to 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: be honest, I have a song in my soul, a 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: song in my heart, and it is Happy Birthday Pauli 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: from Rocky four, because we were talking about Rocky four 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: before we started, because superducer Brian needed to calm me down, 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: so he started talking about pet topics of mine and 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: he referred to Rocky four as the one with the robot, 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: which is true technically, but it also suggests that Rocky 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: fights a robot. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined by 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: one of the writers on this show, mister J. M 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: mcna hey. Thanks for having me. Hey, that just got 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: me thinking, when are the Creed movies going to bring 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: the robot back? That's the question. So they're on Creed three. 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: If it follows the path you know, Creed for will 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: be like ending a war and it will involve a robot. 18 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: I guess like Rocky is the Polly equivalent in the 19 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: Creed universe, right, He's like kind of the I don't know. 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: He fulfills a lot of I'm just trying to think 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: of who would be turning the robot into a fuck bot, 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, because that is an important part of the story. 23 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: That what when you go back, everyone's like that movie 24 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: is so ridiculous, Like Rocky ends the Cold War by 25 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: beating Ivan Drago and like convinces everybody that America rules 26 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: because he's wearing America shorts. And what they forget is 27 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: that they give Polly a robot for his birthday and 28 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: the next scene he has brainwashed it into being a 29 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: sex robot. That it is heavily implied he is fucking. 30 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: I think it's more of just like a companion, a 31 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: romantic companion. Okay, do you know, I don't know. I mean, 32 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: there's no fixtures on it, but it's it's very uh oh, Polly, 33 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: you're you're my king, Daddy, give it to me. Um. 34 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if though that's a direct quote. Anyways. Uh, 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: these are the things that are trending on this Thursday. Um, 36 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: the Oscars will have a crisis team. Jm Um. This 37 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: is just impressive for the blandness and vagueness of the 38 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: language that is used by the person who's announcing us 39 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: the Academy CEO Bill Kramers made up. Yeah, also sounds 40 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: made up, like they seem to be just trying to 41 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: create a story that will evaporate, as it is like 42 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: going through my mind as I'm trying to read it 43 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: to you, it just like stops existing. CEO Bill Kramer 44 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: is now claiming the Oscars will have a cry this 45 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: team at the show, which is quote something we've never 46 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: had before. According to Kramer, they've run many scenarios. What 47 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: the fuck does that mean? We've run many scenarios. So 48 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: it is our hope that we will be prepared for 49 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: anything that we may not anticipate right now, but that 50 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: we're planning for just in case it does happen. This 51 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: sounds like a book report on a like when I 52 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: would have a book report in school and I didn't 53 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: read the book and someone asked me about it, and 54 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: therefore and so forth. So it's like they they're worried 55 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: that there will be another slap and so they had 56 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: to create something to make it seem like they were 57 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: doing something to prepare for it. But like, what could 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: this possibly mean? Like at the Crisis Team, Like I 59 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: reading this interview like it wasn't even apparent to me 60 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: if he meant like a security detail or like a 61 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: team of publicists, Like sure, you know, I completely unclear. Yeah, 62 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: And then like, what are they running any scenarios referring 63 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: to Yeah? Is it? Like, are you talking about like 64 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: a bomb threat? Are you talking about if a guy 65 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: slaps another guy? Like it's so weird. There was never 66 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the possibility of a crisis before last year, Like, I 67 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: don't understand any of this, do you? You pointed out 68 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: when you were writing this up, like do they run 69 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: every different combination of movie star and presenter just slap 70 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: one another like that? Because that seems like that does 71 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: sound fun. It does sound fun, and it's also you 72 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: respond to each different combination in completely different ways, right, Yeah. Yeah. 73 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: If Natalie Portman runs up on stage and slaps Benicio 74 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: del Toro, like that's fine. I think like nobody's nobody's 75 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: mad about that. Yeah. What if Julie Andrews slaps the 76 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: rock like maybe you do nothing? I don't know, Hell yeah, 77 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: hell yeah, sister, I feel like that's what he'd say. Yeah, 78 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: so weird. It does seem to be like they're just 79 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: trying to maybe create this atmosphere of like anything can happen, 80 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Like they're trying to turn it into the their advantage, 81 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the fact that the OSCARS has this kind of renewed 82 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: attention because no one cared about the Oscars at all 83 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: really until yeah, you know, for years until what happened 84 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: last year. And I feel like, yeah, they're maybe going 85 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: to try to spin it because they also had like 86 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: that promo with Jimmy Kimmel where they're like, he's an 87 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: unslappable host. It's like, Okay, I'm already sick of these 88 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: jokes and we're still a month away from the show. 89 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: All right, they're just continuing with this language because it's 90 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: truly like it seems like a thing, like a series 91 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: of words that was generated by an algorithm to put 92 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: you to sleep. Because all right here, so he continues on, 93 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: because of last year, we've opened our minds to the 94 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: many things that can happen at the OSCARS. But these 95 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: crisis plans, the crisis communication teams and structures we have 96 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: in place allow us to say, this is the group 97 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: that we have to gather very quickly. What does that mean? 98 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: This is how we all come together, This is the spokesperson, 99 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: this will be the statement and obviously depending on the 100 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: specifics of the crisis. And let's hope something doesn't happen 101 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: and we never have to use these, but we already 102 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: have frameworks in place that we can modify. Oh word, 103 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: all I have to be is like, yeah, we hired 104 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: like a mall security guard in case someone slapped again, 105 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: And that's I feel like they probably hired like some 106 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: former massad agents, Like I like that just the way 107 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: that Hollywood operates, Like there are probably there's probably a 108 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: sniper team in the building that is ready to overreact 109 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: to any situation. Or they could just be like, oh, 110 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, going forward, if someone attacks someone else, we're 111 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: going to ask them to leave, you know, Like they 112 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: don't have to be like, well, we have a crisis team, 113 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: and the crisis team in charge is going to select 114 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: the emergency committee who will be in charge of nominating 115 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: like you right, Just I'm just hoping that that I 116 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: am insulated by multiple layers of bureaucracy from any important 117 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: decisions that are made. What he is saying over and 118 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: over again, um, let's see what else is trending. I 119 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: mean mainly that with with the hotness of the takes 120 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: there um so a v Club put out their best 121 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: Netflix shows of all time ranked, and it's uh, they 122 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: like sad cartoons. It would appear um bo Jack Horseman 123 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: is the number one of all time according to them, um, 124 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: which feels like a very like that's critics critics love 125 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: that shit. I don't. I didn't dislike it. I thought 126 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: it was very good, but yeah, I don't know. I 127 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: would definitely put I think you should leave over that. 128 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: Put a number of shows over that. I don't know 129 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: what I like bow Jack, Yeah, I wasn't like. I 130 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: know some people absolutely love it, but I think I 131 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: mean it has like that kind of emotional depth that 132 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: kind of surprises you that sure, that's why people love 133 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: it so much. I mean Stranger Things is number two, yeah, 134 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: which was also for the first season, But it seems 135 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: you didn't like it. I only won't only watch the 136 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: first season. Miles stuck with it. Miles has that portion 137 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: of pop culture covered for us. Yeah, no, I I 138 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: like it, but you know, I think there were peaks 139 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: and valleys. I think the last season was strong. But yeah, 140 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean in terms of popularity, it would be number one. 141 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: I guess that's their main thing. I was happy to 142 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: see Russian Doll is up there because I'm a big 143 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: fan of that show, never seen it. These are the 144 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: ones that like stand out to me as like, oh, 145 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: that's higher than I expected, um higher or lower Russian 146 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: doll higher than I expected. Number four. Yeah, American Vandal 147 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: at number eight. Did you ever watch that because I'm 148 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: talking about that on the show a long time? Yeah. 149 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: I liked the first season and I couldn't really get 150 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: through the second season. But to put American Bandle above 151 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: I think you should leave is I think malpractice. But 152 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: that's what The Unbreakable Kimy Schmidt at number twenty one 153 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: feels low. Black Mirror at twenty feels like I definitely 154 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: agree that show like fell off. But when that first hit, 155 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: it was like, wow, this is you know, it was 156 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: really prestige, the most prestige of prestige TV shows. Yeah, 157 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: but also and it was yeah, House of Cards is 158 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: higher than Black Mirror. It's at nineteen and that show. 159 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: I never really liked that show. But also it just 160 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: ended and like they kept going despite Kevin Spacey being 161 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: fired and it just right completely spiraled out of control. Yeah, 162 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: I didn't really. I don't think of too many people 163 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: thinking of that as like a great work of television 164 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: beginning to end. But no, it was. It was bad 165 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: to begin with in my opinion. But yeah, and Kimmy Schmidt, Yeah, 166 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: that's way too high for that show in my opinion. Yeah, 167 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: do you put it lower in the numbers or lower 168 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: in in your esteem? H lower in my steam. I'm 169 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: not a huge fan of that show of Kimmy Schmidt. 170 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: Kimmy Schmidt. Yeah, and and oh yeah. The thing that 171 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: struck me when I first looked at it is the 172 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: last ranked in these fifty was Cobra Kai, which people love. Yeah, 173 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a good show. Definitely, like started very strong. 174 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: I think I think that's true of a lot of these. 175 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: I would say a lot of these start very strong, 176 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: and they're not giving any extra points for just staying 177 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: strong the whole time. It feels like it feels like 178 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: they're maybe just ranking it by the heights that it reached. Um, 179 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: because I think you're right, that makes sense. But Bridger 180 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: Tenant being pretty low. When that first season hit, that 181 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: was the real cultural event. I know, people loved it. 182 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: I thought it was fine, and now it like is 183 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: the in retrospect is everyone just like, yeah, that wasn't shit. Yeah, 184 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: it seems like it a little bit, because it is 185 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: at number what do we got here? Thirty eight and 186 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: The Babysitters Club is at thirty four, So yeah, the 187 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: Witcher is ahead of Bridge or ten. Yeah, and Sweet Tooth, 188 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: which is a surprising one because I never hear anyone 189 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: talk about that. That was a show that's based on 190 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: a comic by a Toronto guy. Actually, and and I 191 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: was interested in it because I read the comic, But 192 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: I've never heard anyone talk about that in real life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 193 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Multiple hauntings of various locations sprinkled throughout the list. But yeah, 194 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be back 195 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: to talk about other shit that is trending. And we're back, 196 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:14,239 Speaker 1: and maybe nobody does out Pizza the Hut. The takeout 197 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: is saying that Pizza Hut is set to overtake Dominoes. Yeah, 198 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: that doesn't. I don't think I know anybody who is 199 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: eating Pizza Hut in the last thirty five years. I didn't. 200 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: I didn't believe that they existed people who still eat 201 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: Pizza Hut. I'm pretty sure the last time I eat 202 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: Pizza Hut, I was given a collectible toy for the 203 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: movie Casper's like, that's what. So there must just be 204 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: a whole different, like generational thing happening for Pizza Hut. 205 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I should say. I haven't like 206 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: ordered pizza from Pizza Hut or had like a piece 207 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: of pizza. I have had personal pan pizzas in various 208 00:12:54,360 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: airports or truck stops on the Jersey Turnpike, but nothing 209 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: in the traditional pizza delivery context. I think it could 210 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: be like the nostalgia thing too, right, that's what they 211 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: were doubling down on nostalgia. They were introduced in like 212 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: the Big New Yorker. Yeah, exactly, and like the logo 213 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: is more like you used to be. They need to. Okay, so, 214 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: Pizza Hut, I'm gonna stop making fun of you if 215 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: you will start opening old like pizza hut shaped pizza huts, 216 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: like pizza palas, and like bring back the cups, bring 217 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: back the pizza buffets, and like do that for us. 218 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: I will forgive you. I'll even maybe order your pizza 219 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: once or twice, but I can't. I don't know if 220 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: this just doesn't doesn't track with me. A forty two 221 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: year old man the impression of the world. I'm the 222 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: target demo, right. I think this war between Dominoes and 223 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: Pizza Hut has been brewing ever since, uh the home 224 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: video release of Ninja Turtles. Because speaking of being old men, like, 225 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this, but when the 226 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles video came out, Dominoes paid for product placement 227 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: in the movie, but somehow Pizza Hut paid to have 228 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: like an ad put before the movie starts, like a 229 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: commercial for Pizza Hut. So there's this conflicting messaging troubling. Yeah, 230 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: so I yeah, I feel like I've been caught between 231 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: these two pizza chains ever since that that happened. Who 232 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: who did you side with? Because that that's like you're 233 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:40,239 Speaker 1: not my real dad, Pizza Hut like type thing. Yeah, 234 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: I stuck with Dominoes. I do like that. It's not 235 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: my favorite pizza, but also my kids had Dominoes and 236 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: and it's their favorite now, so they always want Dominoes. Yeah, 237 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: that's my kid's favorite pizza too, and like of all 238 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: the pizzas, like, there's good pizza in Los Angeles, I swear, 239 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, they don't believe me. They're like, no, I 240 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: would much rather have Dominoes. And this is, by the way, 241 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: the thing that got me started on a on a 242 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: run where because superducer Brian was like, nobody likes Dominoes. 243 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: Dominoes is bad pizza, and I like a spark started 244 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: like firing off behind one of my eyes, and I 245 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: just started glitching out. And then he had to be 246 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: like Rocky four Jaws gas study. But uh yeah, I 247 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: just I don't know. I think Dominoes is a superior product. 248 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: But I again, I have only the foggiest of recollections 249 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: of what Pizza Hut pizza taste like. I think it. 250 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: I think it's the nostalgia. I think it's the image 251 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: of Pizza Hut that like people who are our our 252 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: age have from like commercials. Like when I think of 253 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: Pizza Hut, I think of like a happy family that 254 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: wasn't my unhappy family sitting in like a nice restaurant 255 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: having a pizza that looked perfect. Yeah, the family in 256 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: the booth over the exact feel like man and they 257 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: look happy. M Yeah. The last time that I was 258 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: at a Pizza Hut, kale was merely a garnish. That 259 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: was what kale was primarily used for was Pizza Hut, 260 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: Pizza Buffet garnishes, and it also like it felt like 261 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: Pizza Hut was always on the vanguard of some new 262 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: pizza technology, Like they're putting cheese in the crust, Like 263 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: what are what are these wizards contacting over at Pizza 264 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: Hut HQ cheese in the cheese It's a fucking crazy 265 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: man just forms a black hole and cheese. Yeah. So, anyways, 266 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: I think the real secret is that Dominoes and Papa 267 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: John's both raised their prices because I don't know, kids 268 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: don't like to work anymore, or everybody raised their prices 269 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: and they did not get away with it. So that's 270 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: like one of the good piece of news is all 271 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: the other things are you know, oil companies being like, yeah, 272 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: so we raised our prices by sick steep percent and 273 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: h wouldn't you know it, we broke our records for 274 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: profits and um, this is the one instance where the 275 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: there isn't a monopoly, like Dominoes has not acquired Pizza 276 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: Hut or vice versa, and therefore we still have competition 277 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: between the pizza chains. And so it really doesn't just 278 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: Dominoes raise their prices and Pizza didn't and now people 279 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: want pizza. God wouldn't be awful if like Disney bought 280 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: the concept of pizza and it was just all owned. Yeah, 281 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna corpor uneventially. Yeah, they're doubling down after so 282 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: they're like, you know what people want clearly in the 283 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: in the year twenty twenty three more Lord of the Rings. 284 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: Um after after they spent like a lot of money 285 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: on that Prime show, like billion dollars I think was 286 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: the rumor um and it doesn't exist as far as 287 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: I know that show, Like I don't, I don't know 288 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: anybody who watched it and is like what I'm excited 289 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: about is the Lord of the Rings show on Amazon. 290 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: But anyways, they just announced that they're doing more movies 291 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: for Lord of the Rings, like unrelated to the Amazon 292 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: Prime show. Like Warner Brothers is like, we're we're bringing 293 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: it back baby. Well yeah, because I think the Amazon deal, 294 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: which was so ludicrous that price they paid was just 295 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: for the TV rights, because I think the film rights 296 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: there was some complicated legal thing where no one was 297 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: even totally sure who owned the rights and they were 298 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: up for sale at one point, so that was like, yeah, 299 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: totally different from like the TV thing, which is nuts. Yeah, 300 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that that show which I did, 301 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: I watched like half of it. Yeah, that's about the 302 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: record as far as i'm as far as I understand, 303 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: the record for the most of that show anyone watched 304 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: was half of it. Yeah, And it wasn't even bad. 305 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: It was just like, I don't know, it was hard 306 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: to watch. It was hard to get through. Yeah, it 307 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: was just kind of a slog like I don't understand 308 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: why they didn't just get the idea. The Lord of 309 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: the Rings and the Hobbit and all that is a quest. 310 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: It's like a guy has to go put a thing 311 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: somewhere or get a thing, and you know, goes in 312 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: a journey, and this was just it was more like 313 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones or something, and it's plotting, whereas a 314 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: bunch of you know, different spread throughout intrigue. Between that 315 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: and the Hobbit movie, it's like it does just seem 316 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: like it was just kind of one series of books 317 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: that people liked, and you know, attempts to turn that 318 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: into more TV and movie content hasn't really worked so far. 319 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: So it is kind of surprising to hear Warner Brothers. Yeah, 320 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: it felt on this one stretched out guys, thank you 321 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: and hate to see Hollywood billionaires make a mistake and 322 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: not have all their money. But you know that being said, 323 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: it could be great. They could bring in the robot 324 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: from Rocky four. Thank you, and that is what we 325 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: were talking about. Please Happy birthday, ganned Off. I don't know. 326 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: I'm not a big Lord of the Rings person. All right, 327 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: those are some of the things that are trending on 328 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: this February twenty third. We are back tomorrow with the 329 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: whole last episode of the show.
