Speaker 1: that is special guest host Joel Money. Hey, what's up?

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: What a day for the Marvel Defender to be back.

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: I know, what a pleasure to have the triumphant return

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: of the Marvel Defender here on the day the Monday

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: after Spider Man No Way Home. Found a way to

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: bring it home? If the thing you're bringing home is

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: bofo bol Joel, you know how I like to talk

14
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: in talking variety lingo, trade mag lingo. But yeah, it

15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: made the most of any December movie ever. Right, they're

16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: most or most I had the things up here and

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: now they're gone. But it's away and winning. Let's just

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: say this, the last four Marvel movies, Spider Man beat

19
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: their total box office and its opening weekend. Damn. So

20
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: Disney is very happy. It's a It's a wonderful morning

21
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: for Disney. I always root for those guys. I just

22
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: feel like they really need it too, they really need

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: our support. Yeah, shout out to Disney. Uh So, that

24
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: is kind of the first thing that we're gonna talk

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: about trending. The first thing trending Spider Man No Way Home. Sure,

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: let's do that. Let's thing today. Uh so you saw it?

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: I did not. Um. So here here's one thing that

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: I have that a UM concern I have going in

29
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: that I want to hear your response to um, like

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: Spider Man, come on, that's unrealized. No, no, So, I

31
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: feel like Marvel movies at their best were like taking

32
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: other genres and like putting superhero movies and other genres,

33
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: and then like some like eternals. I read a review

34
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: that was like, oh, this is just a superhero movie.

35
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: This is just like a d C movie. But then

36
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: Spider Man No Way Home. I couldn't tell. It seems

37
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: like a lot of a lot of portals in the sky,

38
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: which is always a pet peeve of mine. But it

39
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: also seems like they were doing some interesting things. And

40
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: also I was a little worried that not worried, but like,

41
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: come on, the Spider Verse did this so you're gonna

42
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: acknowledge the great it's actually that conversation that I've been

43
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: waiting to have about the similarities. It seems Sony did

44
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: a lot of like, oh that really worked in Spider Verse,

45
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: let's just bring it over here, um, which is frustrating

46
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: because a lot of this iteration of Peter Parker it's

47
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: actually comes from the Miles Morales comic books, so you know,

48
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: as a stand of Miles Morales, love Miles Morales. Uh,

49
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: it was irksome. I will say that I thoroughly enjoy

50
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: this version of Peter Parker. He's a lot of fun.

51
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: And these movies are weirdly some of Marvel's best movies,

52
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: even though they're technically a Sony project in partnership with

53
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the Marvel Studios, which from if you, if you're at

54
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: all interested in the business side of these films, is

55
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: a really interesting perspective. Amy Pascal, according to I g

56
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: N this morning, came out and said that she did

57
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: not want Spider Man to be a part of the

58
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: m c U, and apparently she threw a sandwich at

59
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Fikey, which Amy, I don't know. In the day

60
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: and age, if you want to admit out loud that

61
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: you're throwing sandwiches at employees, even if they are as

62
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: high up as Kevin fikey Um, is that unemployee or

63
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: up here? I feel like that's that's fair, that's fair.

64
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Uh sandwiches, it's wild, It's uh. I don't know. Again,

65
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: the business of these things are so tricky. Apparently a

66
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: fourth Spider Man is in the works, which makes sense

67
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: after such an incredible opening box office. But I don't

68
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: believe Tom. Yes, yes, I'm sorry, let me's a correct

69
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: language bafo. But I don't think that Tom Holland has

70
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: signed on to do those oh paid pop culture happy hour.

71
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: We were predicting that he was taking his time and

72
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: using some of those very famous star tactics of like

73
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: like oh, are you coming back to do another one?

74
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: He's like, I've done as much as I want to

75
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: with the character. So I don't know, maybe maybe not.

76
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a damn fool not to And uh, listen,

77
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: if you want absolutely zero spoiler, it's a very light spoiler.

78
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: But if you want zero, like skip ahead fifteen seconds

79
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: at the end of this movie does not support that,

80
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't support not having him come back. He would

81
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: you could not do a fourth around. You need him

82
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: to come back and finish his damn storyline. It is

83
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: a romance for the ages. To your portals point, Jack, Yes,

84
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: portals exist, but if Dr Strange is gonna be around,

85
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: there's gonna be portals. So I just want you to

86
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: brace fully for that as we continue along this m

87
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: c U journey. Portals here to stay. I think they're

88
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: used effectively here. If they're subtle, they're sort of popping

89
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: in and out. Um, it's a Doctor Strange related thing,

90
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: so it's not so bad. This is a very contained film.

91
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: I liken it to like when a writer comes in

92
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: and does like six issues of a comic book, you know,

93
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: and then bops out. It's like a short, condensed internal storyline.

94
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: It takes place over roughly forty hours. Maybe it's a

95
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: very tight space of time. It's condensed. It's powerful. There's

96
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: truly not a wasted second. Every second something is happening,

97
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: and it's interesting and it's really driving the story emotionally.

98
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: There's a death. Again, I'm only going very light spoilers

99
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: that will destroy you. It will like you can't be

100
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: a person and have feelings and not be crushed by this.

101
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: H I it's so painful. And then there are it's

102
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: so funny, and it's so so, so deep into the

103
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: lore of Marvel. And again just a light spoiler. Hit

104
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: that fast forward button if you need it. We get

105
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: characters from Netflix Marvel series, not just characters, but the

106
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: actors from the Netflix series playing them in the m

107
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: c U, which means we are now full blown if

108
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Marvel created it. Since two thousand and nine, is now

109
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: officially cannon in the m c U aside from agents,

110
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: so she old, but since Colston came from the movies

111
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: into that series, I say it's pretty much already there.

112
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: It almost counts. Okay, we haven't seen any agents pop

113
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: up in the m c U yet, but it truly,

114
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: especially with um Secret Invasion coming to me, it seems

115
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: like a matter of time we'll see Marvel is really

116
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 1: doing the damn thing. If you're into like just Laura

117
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: in reading between the lines and these characters like there's

118
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: just no end in sight and Spider Man is especially

119
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: no way home, which is sort of a frivolous title,

120
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. The movie solid Yeah, that's all

121
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: home stuff, right, Yeah, I actually with Home and it's

122
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: just kind of ties in if you didn't if you

123
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: didn't stick to it. Yeah, no, it's anytime I say, folks,

124
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: people should know I'm referring to the marvel Er. I mean, okay,

125
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: so here here's the my guess, having not seen it,

126
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: is the Death Uncle Ben. Don't tell oh uh, I

127
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: stand a multiver So I'm in the movie genre. It's

128
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: pulling from appears to be you know, Nick of Time,

129
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: the Johnny Depp and Christopher walk in real Time vehicle,

130
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: and that is one of my favorite films of all time.

131
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so I'm in the know. This sounds great

132
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: and you did a great job selling it. Well. Another

133
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: movie that I feel like we're gonna do a great

134
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: job selling, um is so trailers just hit. I've never

135
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: seen a trailer treated quite like just with the embrace.

136
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: It's like suddenly one of the top things trending on Google,

137
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: one of the top things trending on Twitter. I just

138
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: like started seeing screen caps from the trailer, like just

139
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: people using it as like memes. It's called the Northman.

140
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Is that is that what I mean? One one assumes

141
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: Norman Norman, Yes, the north Man. Um. Yeah, I think

142
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: it's the Northman. It's from the director of the v

143
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: ch al right, right, that's how it is. One rot, yeah,

144
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: one Robert Eger. The screen cap of Willem Dafoe just

145
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: looking like smiling but looking like he's doing like scary, yeah,

146
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: looking like he just he's making the face you make

147
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: before you shine the flashlight up your face when you're

148
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: like trying to scare someone. And it yeah, it's it's

149
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: just got It's got a lot. Joel's first of all,

150
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: the very first sounds you hear if you watch the

151
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: if it pops up on social media. They've done this

152
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: thing with trailers now where they show you a random,

153
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds smash cut of a bunch of shots

154
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: that might be interesting because they know our attention spans

155
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: are short and we might scroll down before they get

156
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: into the actual trailer. I really appreciate this a few seconds.

157
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: Other people find it distorts the art of trailer making.

158
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: You guys can tell me how you feel about it.

159
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: But like, the very first thing they show is just

160
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: like a sword plunging into a gut. It's like the

161
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: squish of blood everywhere, and you know instantly you're like, oh,

162
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm in for a ride, and then you're like, oh,

163
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: it's Robert Eggers. That guy loves a filthy person. Okay,

164
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: if you're dirty in his movie, it's about to go down.

165
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: It's going to be violent and most likely misogynistic and

166
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: weirdly sexual. Uh and here for all of it. It's

167
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: so so good. There's a shot in there. I was

168
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: telling Jack before we hit record that, Um, I've been

169
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: watching a lot of NBA like best Plays, best deals,

170
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: best hook shots, best dunks, back with the hook shots,

171
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: all of them. Listen, listen. We we saw some footage

172
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: in Black and White. Troopers are very serious about it.

173
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: But one Alexander scars Guard. If you watched True Blood

174
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: at all, he was a sexy blonde vampire. That one

175
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: is also the bad husband and a big Yes, he's

176
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: sort been on a run of just playing horrible men,

177
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: but now he's plays like a kid who's coming back

178
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: to get vengeance in a very Hamlet story line. And

179
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: uncle killed the father and now the son must come

180
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: back and try to reclaim what should have been his

181
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: in the first place. It's the Lyon King. If you will. Yeah,

182
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: you did such a better job of watching this, Like

183
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: I didn't. Didn't see the opening thing. Didn't notice that

184
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: he intercepted a spear like you did. He did. He

185
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: literally puts his hand out like a best of block

186
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: and then shucks it back. Uh, he makes that basket.

187
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: He's in basketball, That's how confidently he throws that spear.

188
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: And he does say four three. Yeah, he shouts Kobe

189
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: pretty clearly, but he hits the guy. He does Kobe,

190
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman, giving her best Nicole Kidman face, just like

191
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: half Face killing it on you. Taylor Joy is in it. York.

192
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure plays a witch in this, which is

193
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: really all should have said from jump. It should have

194
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: just been York is playing a Scandinavian whitch and you

195
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: need to show up to see that. And I think

196
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: one of the reasons it's trending is Eggers has created

197
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: an insane fan base around his films just because they're

198
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: so well made sure the attention to detail, it got

199
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: sort of like a vibe. And though I don't think

200
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: he's always releases with a twenty four, I think Lighthouse

201
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: was um, but I don't know if he always releases

202
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: feel like he might have like transcended Day at this point.

203
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me somebody else was like, here's additional money, like,

204
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: please come make your movie with us. Twenty four has everything. Okay,

205
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: all their movies come with merchandise. It's so wild for

206
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: a distribution company to be on that level of branding.

207
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: But I love it. I I can't wait for The Northman.

208
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: I love good violence, and I love history movies that

209
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: are like, well researched and feel like he has traumatized

210
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: but also sort of like we went back in time,

211
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: just dropped a camera and it filmed some stuff. Those

212
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: are my favorite. I am tessed with The Witch. I

213
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: could watch it all the time. Black Philip is truly

214
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: one of the best villains, so insidious, He's just there

215
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: lurking in the background, making your parents hate you. That's great.

216
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: I also want to just give a quick shout out

217
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: to Tom Hardy for not being the lead in this,

218
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: because this is the role that we've seen Tom Hardy

219
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: and so many times like angry, very like strong Uh

220
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: could also have been cast. Yeah, Jason Momo could have,

221
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: but Tom Hardy turned it down or they were just

222
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: like you know what we've We've seen it from you,

223
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Tom Uh. You to understand what the lead character is saying,

224
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: so Unfortunately Tom, I'm gonna with Alex his annunciation, it's

225
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: topp tire. Yeah. I think my character should uh just

226
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: have a like a Wickerman helmet on the whole time

227
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: when Tom's one note about on the script. Uh, so

228
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: you can't see my face. But anyways, let's take a

229
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and talk about the

230
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: candy Kane shortage. Oh no, and we're back. Uh. And

231
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: so we talked a couple of weeks ago. I think, uh,

232
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, our writer Jam McNabb, viewing things from high

233
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: up north in Toronto, was like, hey, here's a dumb

234
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: thing you guys do every year, uh, and pointed out

235
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: that like the Christmas tree shortage this year that people

236
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: were writing a lot of articles about was actually not real,

237
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: not a thing where the person who gave us the

238
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: debunking quote was like head of Christmas Tree Growers of

239
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: America or you know, like keep doing this. It's a

240
00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: it's just the media creating clickbait essentially, and they know journalism. Yeah,

241
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: and there, you know, shout out to them for taking

242
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: some time off around the holidays and being like, all right,

243
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: let's get a candy cane shortage on deck Anyways, we

244
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: made fun of in that article debunking the Christmas tree shortage,

245
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: we made fun of the candy cane shortage of two

246
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: thousand and ten. We all remember where we were that

247
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: year when you know, just the candy canes were nowhere

248
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: to be found. Ps like it didn't happen. Grandma's were

249
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: throwing punches in the aisles. Was actually didn't happen. Nobody's

250
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: ever been unable to buy a candy cane when they

251
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: wanted to. In fact, there's an overabundance of candy canes

252
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: in my experience, and so I was shocked to see

253
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: near the top of Drudge Report over the weekend a

254
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: panicked title candy cane shortage like Christmas ruined or some

255
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: some bullshit to that effect. Uh So just wanted to

256
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: once again, I don't have a candy cane. Listen, y'all,

257
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: get a peppermint tea. It's honestly six times better a

258
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: candy cane. It's just sugar. I don't like the way

259
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: they dissolve, and they have holes in them. The texture

260
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: becomes weird on your tongue. I don't think candy canes

261
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: are that essential to Christmas. You get a red white

262
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: pipe cleaner you twisted up. You can hang that on

263
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: your tree. We use them for decorations. Again, they're not

264
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: really food, way more important for esthetic purposes. Yeah. Absolutely,

265
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: So if there is a shortage this this two dollar fee. Yeah,

266
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: so I I went and just did a quick search

267
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that it was still possible to get

268
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: candy canes. Uh, and I came up with a holiday

269
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: peppermint candy canes twenty four account at Target for two

270
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: dollar seventy nine cents. So that's not a not a

271
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: bad price. That's around ten cents a candy canes, So

272
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: it's not exactly like people are, uh, you know, throwing

273
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: things through the window to try and get it the

274
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: last remaining candy canes. And uh, finally, just real quick

275
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: check in. I wanted to congratulate you. I know that

276
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: you your brother super producer. Justin big Bulls fans, the

277
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: Bulls beating Lakers. I'm sorry we swept the Lakers this

278
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: season so far, not a win against US. Lebron put

279
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: up thirty one. Anthony Davis is out hurt right now.

280
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: But I think you guys are missing some of your

281
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: better saying a lot of key players I think Levine

282
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: was out. Yeah, Io Dusimon was out, Matt Thomas was out,

283
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Troy Brown Jr. Was out, and alas A Johnson was out.

284
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Which I mean, all of those guys can make big plays,

285
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: but specifically, obviously the loss of Zach Levine was troublesome.

286
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: It was frightening. But your CON's Ball and Caruso just

287
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: holding down the motherfucking center, just keeping us tight, still

288
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: looking like one of the guys who got exposed to

289
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: radiation in Chernobyl and still being incredibly good at basketball.

290
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: Oh man. But for both Ball and Caruso, I think

291
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: when we come up against l a like they have

292
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: a specific feeling in their gut of like, I'm not

293
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: going to let this team see me lose ever again,

294
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: and a Ball takes it very personally. And you know,

295
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: Caruso could state but he came here for a reason. Yeah,

296
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: the Lakers wildly undervalued him and now they're paying the price.

297
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: It's just it's a good year to have depth as

298
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: one of your team's strengths. And because people are constantly

299
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: missing time speaking of undervalue players, Yeah, top heavy teams

300
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: like the Lakers and the seventy sixers are struggling because

301
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: with the seventy six is one of their big one

302
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: goes out like MB did for a couple of weeks

303
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: they basically lost everything. Um yeah, our bench goes deep

304
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: and you got a love it too, because any time

305
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,240
