Also, just kind of check in. We haven't gotten a chance to really break down all the things that we've been excited about, but I got to talk about Widows Bay and we do it in a way where there's no spoilers. So if you haven't watched yet, we're just going to psych you up. And if you have watched, it's just confirming you have a great taste. Anyway, as always at the end of the show, I will reveal the movie that we'll be covering for next week's episode. people Heads up We're going to be back at Largo in Los Angeles on june fifth.

We're going to do a reunion of match Game seventy six on Saturday night. Also going to be joining the George Lucas talkal show. so many great shows that weekend. It's june eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth come out Check out Dinosaur. We're doing two big shows and also so many fun small shows around the horn. All right, that is it for all the plugs and let's get into it lastast week, we talked at length about the big hit. Well, we had questions and we might have even missed a few things. Here's your chance to set a straight, fact check us, if you will. it is now time cororrections and omissions.nonna drop some knowledge on you. So get ready to learn. tellell us something that we don't know. Maybe something they said wrong in the show. cororrections and omissionsrect Thank you Wally Tarkington for that theme song. Now before I get to your comments, I'm sure you've heard in our episode that Jun and I had this disagreement about whether they established the character Kiko to be in college despite clearly seeming like she was in high school. Now after rec recorded the episode, we did find and insert a clip from the movie Kico's dad does say the line, I need to pick up my daughter at college So June, you've been corrected But yes, I also acknowledge it was creepy and probably a fix that was done in ADR. But I did hear that line, so I feel vindicated. All right, let's go to the discord. Firebirt says, As a treky, my mind always focused on Avery Brooks' character Paris in this movie. He feels like the one person who's doing a mostly serious badass character while everyone else is doing loooney tunes. But I also have to point out how weird it is that they named Lou Diamond Phillips character Cisko. I mean, sure it's a different spelling It's so weird to have the name Avery Brooks' Star Trek character, Captain Sisko. It would be like naming a character Picard in a Patrick Stewart movie. I gott to say I agree with you one hundred percent Here's the thing. Avery Brooks is so badass in this movie that I forget that he's Ciskco because he's carrying himself completely different. So I can separate the Star Trek from the man. notot always But I can in this, a card would be unforgivable BB Max writes, while the meal prep scene was essential to discuss, let's talk about the kitchen fire afterwards, Melvin enters the kitchen to find the hole uncut chicken on fire while it sits in an uncovered pan on the stove topop Can you even cook a whole chicken this way? I mean, let alone a chicken getting hot enough to burst into flames Yes, I believe that the same amount of research they put into cutting wires in this movie, they put into cooking chicken. There's no way that a chicken would burst into flames, especially in that short of a period of time. I've never really started a fire in the house. Smoke? sure, but this chicken seems like it was based in kerosene. to kind of ignite I'm looking at an image of it right now. It is literally impossible. you're not no one is cooking no one's cooking a stove chicken rotisserie chicken on a stove topop. That doesn't happen. I mean, you know, there's stove topop stuffing. That's on a stovetop but not stove topop chicken. All right, let's go to the phones. Anthony Florida. Hi Paul, Jason and June. This is Anthony. I am also a former video store clerk. In nineteen ninety eight, I got my first ever DVD player and one of the movies I got was The Big Hit. And I just wanted to say that in the deleted scenes, they showed what happened to Vince Antonio Sabato Junror had a drag show to go to. So at one point he shows back up and he's in full drag and he's like, Hey, I told you I had that thing to do this weekend So that's where he was. I have no idea why they didn't e that in the movie. Oh my This is why this movie is kind of amazing and awful at the same time. It's like what a wild choice. All right. So he was going to a drag show. that's enough like do we know that partart of the movie or was he unavailable? And they made a joke. There's things in this movie And I don't want point out too many things. There's some interesting conversation on the discord about some ADR lines in here that are covering up some way more offensive words, especially out of the mouth of Lou Diamond Phs I don't mean to bash Lou Diamond, but it feels like there was a bro vibe going on. This one I'm talking about this movie brought me back to a year, a very specific year in time that I feel like all bad things happened. It was a b It was bad. It wasn't like it's not even like bro culture. like, oh, man, you can't take a joke. It was no. was the The advent of Ax body spray. Remember that commercial where a girl was like humping a fucking waterline because a guy above her was showering in like his tub, like his pipe is like in an apartment building. and so she's like fucking hump in the pipe because she's so turned on. Anyway That's what this movie is, A girl humping a water pipe from the guy above her wearing axe body spray. Dr. Guts continues to add some more color to Anthony Sabato Jr.'s whole drag quQueen potline. ' you know what, we do need to go a little bit deeper In the DVD, there are these deleted scenes where we do actually see an entire subplot. U where Vince does moonlight as a drag queen againgain I'm not I'm not yucking it. I'm just like, why why do we need it? So there the scenes they have, it's like he shows up in full drag to pick up the garbage bags and the body parts. you know, so there is images of him and he looks like a more masculine Liza Mineelli. You know, it's like Liza Mineelli meets Cher Uh notot masculine. I would say muscular. That's what we're looking at here. God bless this movie for making big swings. And again, I never like to rip on a movie that takes chances, but again, I don't feel like these chances were from the people you want to take chances with. Luke from Portland, what do you got? Hey Paul, This is Luke. I'm listening to the big hit episode right now Lots to talk about moovie rental shops I just want to bring up, give a recommendation to come and visit Movie Madness in Portland. nextxt time you're here, it's An amazing movie rental shop. It's Park Museum, they have ninety thousand titles I think it's the biggest movie rental shop this side of Mississippi, maybe in the whole United States. I think you would really like to see it. I would also be wondering if you know of any other great movie rental shops around the country that You know, still exists. It's it's still a great thing. so. Great episode. thanks. I love this. I did not know about this. I've been to Portland so many times. I will definitely come and visit. And I'm so glad you brought this up because I just got an email from a friend about this brand new place that is opening in LA. It's actually in Vegas as well. It's called backack to the V store And it is a speak easy like nineties Y two K video bar. And I will tell you that just based on what I've seen from it, it looks Really fun. It's not traditionally what you are describing. It's not a, you know, it's a bar. a themed out bar and it's like you're drinking in a blockbuster. I I think it looks awesome I have not been But it's opening in LA. and I will report back to you. But if you want to follow them online or go see them when you're in Vegas, back to the video store, but more importantly, we will visit movie Madness. I mean, I need a little bit of videoore energy. I was so upset when I was not cast in that Netflix show about The blockbuster I was like wait a second Now I did that. getting that. U Anyway, but I love the people who created it and they're amazing and Anyway Let's go to our next call. Ooh, this one's anonymous. Hi, I just want to validate June's bathroom feers. from the most recent episode So I've used more modern bathrooms with two doors, which are okay because they both lock securely. My grandmother had a bathroom in her house that had a door to a bedroom and a door to the hallway neeither of which had a lock and there was sort of a housekeeping do not Disturbed type sign that you could put on the door and flip around Antime I was in there as a kid the whole time it was just like, is someone Gonna walk by someone nearby like Again, too far away from the door to be able to stop anything if someone starts opening it So I definitely understand where June was coming from on that point I'm glad that we are in a safe enough space to share. Yes, you know, book P don't recognize a closed bathroom door means Someone might be in there, I always knock always knock just in case I don't know. What does it cost you? What does it cost you? Always knock. notot going to disturb anybody if no one's there. only going to help yourself and save someone from the worst embarrassment of their life. Next up Hi guys. I love the episode. Thanks so much. I just wondered if you would talk about Boking Wood Bines finger grip strengtheners It was a heck of a little thing to add in an already kind of overstuffed fun movie and You seemed to have a very precious relationship with them. Wonder if you guys wanted to comment on that in addition to all the great things you already commented on. Again, wonderful episode. love the show. Thanks so much. H Becky did not notice this, but thankfully, Scott did show us o, that thing. Yes. Okaykay. so Scott is showing me a picture of it. That was wild. It does not seem if you're not familiar with what Becky is talking about, the finger grip strengthener is that giant like it almost looks like a shield where it's like he is, um I don't know, like on like some sort of like weightlifting machine, but it's it's I would say if you put it in your hand, it would reach down to your like elbow. It's giant. Yes. so He's always, I don't know why his fingers would need to be strengthened, but I guess I'm looking at it more as a palm thing, but I guess he wants that tension and that tightness. And at this point, And I think, you know, this is a time before pocket vaginas. and, you know B Kim could have been so much more focused if he just bought himself an appropriately sized sex toy. And I can only imagine that at this point in his life, the character's life, not Bo Kim's life, that he would be awash in so many amazing sex toys that he would never have to worry about the gym of it all. But maybe he likes the gym a bunch of guys who do like gyms, but I'm just assuming that his Dick is going to beat up. It's going to be black and blue. It's not a good look for Dick to feel like it's gotten that much tension or grip on it. I don't think any part of the body it would be good for. Anyway to the discord. So Tod W He talks about something that is very near and dear to my heart. He goes, I can't make heads or tails of the locker room situation. We we to believe that a ragtag group of freelance hitmen go to their office every morning and change clothes together in a locker room like their're football players and that they all shower together at the end of the day. I get having a warehouse or you know a building for your death squad to meet up and plan. but why on earth would they need a fully operating locker room where they can strip naked at the end of the day to change back into civilian clothes. I mean, when they appear to be wearing normal clothes for most of the time anyway, the one exception was their construction worker disguises, but why couldn't they just put those on you know at home or like, you know the way that regular construction workers do? I would even go one step further taght and say like in a van. It's not like they were costume closet. They were naked, showering, brushing their teeth and putting on deodorant in the locker room. This is not really the way I think freelance hitmen group operates., maybe I'm the naive one U Now here's what I'll say. I read it slightly differently Now yes, Avery Brooks has this amazing office and I feel like maybe it is in the same building. This is clearly on a higher level. I would think, okay, well, I work for Avery Brooks and he gives me these great benefits like a gym And you know, at that point in your life, you're like, gym memberships were like in this time, get a membership to Crunch, it was worth something. So There's a world in which we say, oh yeah, and part of working for me is you get to work out at my gym whenever you want. I buy that I buy that a little bit. Here's the other thing I'll say that these dudes just like to work out together. So they go to the like this is like not part of the criminal world. This is just their y They all belong to the same gym. Again, I don't know why a gym would be that high up but I guess maybe that's my own thing. I just think of gyms being lower, but I guess yeah, why not? they could be high up. All right. And lastly, we have a bespoke correction and omission because this is Possibly one of my favorite like nitpicks with a movie. This is from a friend of the show Mel. Homlin who is just amazing, runs her own bad movie nights. We often will exchange different takes on things. And Mell writes, As June mentioned, it was very weird that Mark Wahlberg's character was cheating on his fiancee with multiple women because he was a people pleaser. and it immediately made me think of a classic episode of Murder she wrote Now there is an episode from nineteen eighty seven titled If it's Thursday, it must be Beverly, where during the course of the murder investigation, it is revealed that deputy Jonathan Martin Whse wife was the murder victim, Yakes? had been sleeping with a different woman in Cabbot Cove every day of the week, seemingly because he was also a leas He said he slept with one of the women because he didn't want to hurt her feelings. I guess You know, this is You know, it's not coming from me, but it's coming from Mel June, you've been disproven once again, okay Learn from me, learearn from Mel. all the things are in there. Okaykay? There's nothing that doesn't make sense in this movie. Okaykay? We are gaslighting you right now. So take it U So many great corrections and omissions this week, but there can only be one That is the best. And I will say honestly, yes, we've talked about burning chickens, we've talked about strength We've talked about deleted scenes, but I will say for anyone to draw the line from this movie Tw a mid a mid series episode, not mid like in quality, but mid as in like how many seasons in a mid series episode of murder, she wrote and and and being able to use that to prove June wrong. Well, guess what Mel. You are this week's winner and your prize for having the best submission is that we will be mailing you a bottle of premium hand lototion purchased by Bokim Woodbein's character. Crunch in the movie, don't worry about sending us your address. We use Tace buster on the message to track down your location. So you should be enjoying silky smooth hands. Ctesy of Crunch' lotion within three to five business days. By the way, we didn't bring it up, but somebody did also bring up that there's no reason for that the man who invented trace busters would ever go broke because that technology is pretty fucking amazing. All right, And for all of you who didn't win this amazing prize of the handand lototion, you can try your luck next episode by submitting your corrections and emissions on our discord or by leaving us a voicemail at speakpipe dot com slash httGM. And I gotta say, wow quQality of these messages are just a plus. Thank you for jumping on Speakpipe. It sounds so much better and I hope more and more people leave messages because I love hearing your voices. Coming up after a quick break, Jason will join me for a just chat. Stick around.

Chris Finky, play us in B book she's getting dirty, You better d that If a barrel's all corroded, it's a real rust bad Yorf adora is sitt in crooked. Ajust hat. llow and Jason on the mic, you know with's just Chad Just chat. Jason, I want to get right into it. Let's jump right in. We have not been able to break down some of the things that we've loved for a little bit of time. and I wanted to just check in with you. I don't want to put pressure on you because it's fairly new. But have you been watching Widows Bay? Katie Dipolds Widows Bay. I am heartbroken to say that I have not watched it yet.c. absolutely gutted that I can't jump in right now. Well, here's the thing I imagine a handful of our listeners are also in the same boat as you and I'm going to say, put it of your list. It is so funny. It's really beautifully done. It's directed so well Hero Marai, you know from Atlanta and so many other great things really capture something that is so distinctly unique Katie Dipppold, friend of ours from UCB. She created this show. It's been in her head for a very long time Here's the thing I will say and withithout any spoiler because I don't want to give you any I want you to enjoy it the way that I watched it. What she is able to do with these scenes, it feels like great long form improv scs because the little tags and quirks of the people are It makes me cackle so loudly because it's the thing that someone would yell in a back line or walk across and say and it's completely in the world and it's just little details like that throughout are Killing me in the show as a whole is fantastic and scary, but It is those little details. I have not seen any show do that just a mek. Little like, well, I'm over here I did that, you know, it's like a little and just like calling out stuff. there's a moment where onene of the characters makes a very big declaration and then is immediately called out. way in a way that we do it on stage. I don't know like I don't want to give it any more than that and just say that to me is like the special sauce of Katie because she's so attached to horror. And if you don't know Katie is what I was gonna say is like this is a horror show. This is a horror show like that in a very funny You know, and this is If you don't know Katie Dipple, this is like her sweet spot. I mean, June absolutely loves it. My dad loves it. My dad found it unbeknownst to, you know, any connection that I had to it or anything The best way that I can illustrate that I often will say, here is if somebody if I'm trying to explain Katie Dipple to somebody Just Google Katie dippled Babaduke. This is exactly what I was gonna to say. This is this is the thing. She is mostly known She's a brilliant screenwriter. We perform with her in dinosaur. She wrote The Heat and Ghostbusters, so many different films but she is a meme Oline because she is dressed fully as the Babaduke at a Halloween party and where nobody else is dressed up. No one And it is this shot that really I mean, you you have seen it. You've definitely seen this meme and that is Katie Dipple because she's also not a person who is want for attention. It's not like she pososted that like no She's into Halloween and we know that She's obsessed with Halloween in the funniest way. So like this show is so exciting to me because it is T truly being given the keys to just run rampant with a very cool horror show that is very funny. and that kills it. Oh, I lovever. I'm so excited. It'll be on the top of your list. It'll be on top of everybody else's list, but I'm excited for more and more people to find out about it. I'm stoked. It's on Apple. do it up, getet out there, watch it. It's it's I'm so excited that it's getting so well received And it's like, I feel like I've been hearing from everybody They're obsessed with it. I haven't been able to watch it because I have been traveling. I was in Europe. I was doing some work and then I was in London and I got to see my task master. I saw the reunion pictures online. I follow enough of your castmates to have seen it all together. and look like a great Such a blast. We had such a great time hanging out and catching up with all of them I do want to shout out. Fata Elgori has a BAaFon nominated short film up called Donkey That is on YouTube. You can watch it on YouTube here. and it's hilarious. She's so fantastic. And then season twenty one of Taskmaster is up is is midway through midway through now. Camale Naniani is one of the guests or is one of the competitors cast. I mean, this is a yeah great cast It's I would say more famous than in recent note. like, you know, like in the sense that you a couple's in there. creator of Vep and a number of other things. Surprised that he did this. Like in not you know, it's a while And he's having a blast. Oh my God. a blast It's a great season. They're all great seasons. Listen, we love the show. But it's a particularly funny season that I think is absolutely worth everybody watching. In addition, I would recommend everybody please if you haven't watched it yet, season two of last one laughing, the UK last one. I am obsessed. I am obsessed, obsessed, obsessed. This show is Fantastic. Season one was incredible and so funny. season two, the head to head pairing of David Mitchell and Sam Campbell is next level insane and so funny. I have never gone to Batmore to be like, can I host the American version of this show? I must loveve it. You much By the way This is kind of a tangential side note. I know that I've talked to you very openly and passionately about my love for traders, but maybe the thing that will get you on board is the new season of Traders, which is going to be celebrity Traders you what you mean? Yes. I've heard Michael Sheen. Yes. Richard E. Grant. James Projector. Yes, James Yes. Jes Rlecaster is is in the cast And I'm going to mispronounce his name, but Romesh from R' in there. Yeah. Yes from Tasmaster. Fantastic. It is going to I mean, it's James Blunt is it a question is this this is is this normal? Do they always do high end celebrity traders or is this a new thing I don't feel like I've ever heard this before because to me whenever Titors has been described, it's like real housewives and you know, like it's kind of like right Bravo celebrities and there's a couple of things to go over Bunches was on it, you know, No, no, no. But this is what has happened When Traders first started, there was like a handful of British celebrities in the original cast, mixed with real people. It It was an interesting like diverse group, right? It's kind of like the way when Mike White competes on survor. like, Oh, that's Mike White, but he's with a bunch of normies. But America is like, no, no, no, no, we're never doing normies. We're only doing Bravo people BBC has always been in front of it, but the show's popularity has just grown and grown and grown. So I think that they are like, oh shit like we we can actually really get end celebrities and then following that, the next season which I know a little bit about we could talk off air, the next American season is going to be matching that in some ways. this I would say wait until celebrity season two because that it's going to be all the people that you like. It'll be a good and it will feel, I think, like what we like in the Taskmaster world. It's going to be more fun and more playful But here's a funny thing I think, which is like Traders has gotten so successful with the Bravo celebs that now They're doing a normi version of Traders that's going to air on regular television. So Traders is a streamer show, but now they're doing the Normi version as a network show. And I got to say I like the Normi version of Taders in the sense that No one's coming in with baggage. It's a lot more of like I don't discovery. Yes. And that to me, it's like because there's a lot of shit that I don't like. vocally I've talked about this, but I that where when you come on celebrity trraderss like, well, you're aousewife. so you're definitely manipulative. I'm like, I don't no. let them play the let them play the game. It you can't because in in a game like mafia, you're looking for any reason And it's so much more fulfilling, I think to to really be like, no, no, no, it's all here. It's all. It's also like you're not getting people's like, you're not getting like people who are like trying to do their thing Right If it's normal people, you are really just getting to know these normal people, you know, and And then my ultimate issue with the entire show is you can't pick if you're a traitor or not. You are picked by the by Alan Cumming or you know, by the host picks you. So even if you are the most manipulative person, it means nothing because you have no control over who you are. It's not like, I get to choose what side I'm on. And that's part of the fun of the show is like when they bring on, you know, Travis Kelsey's mom And they make her a hidden traiter, you know, then people really attacked her. I guess Oh I didn't she was on Oh that's funny. So yeah, Mama Kelsey was on and could not really keep a straight face in the deliberation. So she was booted relatively quickly. Oh my Godd.

A lot of time on planes, a lot of time in hotel rooms and but frankly, a lot of time not having access to like my shows or my stuff. You know Yeah, yeah. because it's not partartially why I wasn't able to watch Katie Dippled' show is because I couldn't get any Apple TV stuff You're not you're not rocking some sort of VPN. You know, I travel now with a Roku Okay gets me some stuff, but then but Apple, HBO, I don't I don't know how to do a VPN on the Roku, I guess is what I would have to do. I'm certain it can be done I also like when I'm in different countries to kind of partake in what's going on I watched a lot of just I'm flipping around Italian television. I mean that you know, I'm just flipping around seeing, what's what Let me let me ask you Yeah You're we won't talk about what you did, but you're in Italy Yes. How are you approaching dining in Italy? Kning the egg allergy is yeah. So I had a card printed up in Italian that explains my Alleroti in detail Now, that being said, I used it only a few times. Almost everybody was Ver attentive and very u very on top of allergies, which I was very surprised by And so so even though it was very stressful and even though there was a lot of eggs in a lot of the meals, I was able to navigate pretty safely. And so knock on Wood had no bad experience. That's amazing because it's it is to me, it's like there's So egg and pasta, everything. like all these little ye all the breads, all the pastas, all the all the desserts, all the breakfast But this is why you look so good. You can come back from a little time spent in Italy and not have taken any of that weight. I had pasta a couple of times. It works out a couple of times, but mostly for me, like I'm in Italy having grilled fish and a Caprez salad. I'm eating very clean as opposed to everybody else who's going bananas. I mean, it' it's so good. I know we've talked about it Yes, but I cannot recommend enough The fallen rise of Reggie Dinkins. Oh my God. Pound for pound, the most joke dense, funniest show on TV. Full stop, it's phenomenal Well, I got toa tell you, there's a joke where it it's not a plot joke. it's just a joke joke. Yeah. And I'll see if you remember it. It's like in the second the last episode and they go to a deli, Reggie has like a sandwich at a deli and they kind of have this moment with the deel Catessan guy And through the course of this conversation, Dellicatessine guy is like R So Animal slices Huh, Sice is an animal. And he just said like like for cold cuts and he has this like existential crisis. I laughed It's so hard at thisning have never thought of cold cuts as slices of an anim animals. Yeah. And then and then I was I wrote to our friend Meredith Gcardino, who is the creator of Girls F ever, whose name was on the episode. And I was like, that is one of the hardest I've laughed watching an episode And then she's like, that's your buddy Phil Jackson's joke. And Jackson's joke. And I was like, oh my God, I watched it play out and that's how Phil would play it. And I talked to Philm. Phil's like, I literally just improvised that in the room. And I was like, and it's because the guy has this momentary extential crisis. it's so The show is a bless and kind of like what you were saying before, like there is an improv feeling to it. like there is there are like what you were saying about Dippled show, there are jokes and throwaway lines that feel as though they're improvised or feel of the moment. and it's really satisfying and it's so funny to watch. I just loved it. Do you know why I thought was Phenomenal on that tr. I mean stallion Always. I make Ellian was so funny in the show. Truly, everybody in the show just like Brushes like Meghan. Her bit with Radcliffe is so, so good. Hy. the one that I was blown away by was Anna Camp And campa plays great episode. I was like, o wow, it's such a fun because I think it's hard on a show like that kind of come in and like up the stakes even more and like play in a different thing and they do also it's really hard to come into a show that already has so many bananas characters. That's yeah, that's Yeah to be the focal point of that episode. So it's not like, oh, she's got a couple of scenes, she's gonna do her thing. No, that episode is really about her in a way that like really hard and challenging. and I thought she was absolutely hilarious. She just killed me. just like literally I was like, oh man. and it's just funny because I just feel like to me, I'm like, oh, I didn't even expect her to be able to come in and do that Yeah. you know ye. so I loved it. I loved it. Dark Winds season four. I know you're on happening now. It is, I mean, I remain on record is saying, I think Dark Winds is the most underrated show on television right now. It is I don't understand a world in which this isn't the show everybody's talking about all the time. It is absolutely phenomenal Well, now, I'm going to I'm going to probably ask another question where you're going to be like, no, I've not had a chance to catch up on this, but I'm going to ask it nonetheless. Have you watched the comeback the new season. although I've not caught up on it. I was the first That's a good example of I were watch the first chunk and then HBO was one of the shows one of the things I couldn't get. G. So I've got the last half of the season to watch. anotherother greatreat like I love that we have adopted or we have been able to adopt a certain British model for these shows where it's like, oh, we can come back whenver we want. Like when Alan Partridge comes back, it's always wonderful and great, which by the way, I think he just came back in something else because he just wanted to BaFTa at the recent BaFTA ceremony he did something last year. Yeah. Yes. So it's like I'm always kind of, but I think the comeback this season is really Really, really interesting. I also rewatched the previous comeback before this season I rewatched the old ones and they are Just so funny. I mean it is that is one of the most consistently hilarious series that's ever been. You know, so saying that like you know, this season is, I mean, in the very broadest way Valerie Cherish is brought in to be the center of a show that is written by AI. And I had this conversation with June last night because she's like, well, you know, the show is bad, but people are watching. I'm like, June though, if you look at season one and two the comeback. Those sitcoms written by human writers are equally likeike there's no discernible quality difference between any of these shows, which is I think is also like just meta commentary too. It's they're not, they're all about the same level. but people tell you that show is great. but I think that is also intentional. there is there's some great Really It's another show that has just an amount of jokes coming at you that are so satisfying and land so hard and I just think Kudreu is unreal I mean, she's unreal is that character. Truly fantastic. I mean, they definitely I think are saying by to her this season and and the ending It just raraps in so many great ways and there's so many beautiful things. likeike there's a I don't want to spoil any of it, but there' just these great full circle moments that like literally brought tears to my eyes like twice in one episode. I was like wow. Really, really great. I love it. By the way, the show I believe that we were both talking about with Steve Kugan is how are you? It's Allan. and then and then in
