It is now time for corrections and omissions A these bl looks, these black looks Thank you, Yacquz. Am I pronouncing that right? That was a great theme song. Let's start with some phone calls. By the way, if you are calling us now, it's so much easier because well we're using speakpipe. That's right. speakpipe dot com slash H dtgM. I believe that that's right. Scott, tell me if I'm wrong. but it's so much easier. you could just call us whenever you want There's no fees, there's no phone calls. We're trying to keep up with the times. Anyway, let's start Lenneele from Denver Hey gang, this is Lenelle. I was calling because I was listening to your most recent episode, The Manitou. And you guys were talking about this supposed real case of someomebody in Tokyo growing a baby in their chest and I'm a pathologist and so I thought I had some relevant knowledge to clarify the situation. So What I bet this case actually was was a teratoma. Teratomas are most often associated with the ovaries or the testes. These are tumors that will grow body parts. These are the freaky tumors that you hear about with teeth and hair and all of that kinds of stuff But another place that terratomas can happen is in the mediiaastinum or the middle part of the chest so you can get metastinal teratomas. So if I had to guess, I would guess that this supposed real case in Tokyo was the case of a mediastinal teratoma. and not some sort of real baby being grown in the middle of a kid's chest Hopefully that helps clarify the situation I love your podcast. I've been listening for years. I've seen you guys in real life a couple of times and it's always a good time Okay. Lenell, you said a lot of words there that I heard and I am trying to understand and I know that you are right. I'm just trying to wrap my head around it. But here's what I'm going to say to you. while you are one hundred percent correct I'm going to say that this production did no research on that actually happening. at all. I think that was something that was tacked on at the end. And when they said Japan, it felt so far away that no one would fact check them because there was no internet. But I do appreciate knowing how this all works, and thank you for making us a little bit smarter. Now let's go to Diane. Hey there, my name's Diane. I love you guys. love your sh I just finished Listening to Mana two and I had to call my mom because she was a nurse in the seventies. and about the hospital Absolutely one hundred percent, there were carpets all throughout hospitals in the early seventies mayaybe not shag, but like that indoor outdoor. And she said that in the patient rooms, hallways everywhere, it was all carpeted. And when they cleaned them, it would smell horrendous. like she could you couldn't be around it when they were cleaning them, which is pretty nasty. And also another gross thing was the fact that in isolation rooms and stuff, so they didn't wear gloves There was an open pan with cleaner that you would just dip your hands in and everyone used, which seems I don't know Gs So yeah, you were right, hospitals were horrendoused in the seventies. Okay, bye What This is absolutely bonkers and you know what? Diane, you aren't the only one who verified the carpets in hospitals. That sounds so abbsolutely disgusting. who came up with that idea? Who sold the wall to wall carpeting in Hospitals, o God, we got a lot of calls confirming this. so gross Gross and you know, my mom worked in an ER And I did know about that like hand dip We were so gross. I mean, and that was so L when you look at like the timeline of like when that actually happened and where we are now, it's not that far away. Let me tell you people, we might be going back. Zack from Michigan. Hey Paul and everybody. I just got done listening to The Manitu. This is Zack. And I wanted to point out something that you guys also pointed out, but I' hoped you would talk about was the fact that everything took so long in the movie The thing that took the longest was the scene where Tony Curtis comes out in the hospital and he's having a bad day And he needs an aspirin or something. And so the nurse says, Well here, take one of these And then she gets some water And they says, Can I have another water? I always need two waters with these And then he gets it. and he opens up the packet puts it in. in the glass, but nothing happens. It doesn't fizz, it doesn't do whatever And then he says, Oh, I wish there were instructions on these He kind of pours the water back and forth and nothing happens. He eventually says, Oh I guess this just isn't my day. His girlfriend has a monster crawling out of her back And this is the worst thing that happens. But the thing that drove me the craziest was they spent seven minutes on this scene And they never come back to it. I was sure that the monster would be killed by throwing alcaaseltter at it Or maybe they would throw one glass of water, but then he needed another glass of water Maybe they would come back and when the room was frozen, you'd see the two frozen glasses. And then that would tell you that's where you were Anyway Ton of fun watching the movie. Thanks so much, and I hope this drove you as crazy as it drove me Dude Perfect pointint. yes, this movie really is patient. What I'm thinking is they knew they had a great forty five minutes and they had to figure out how to get that other hour. And I feel like the entire movie is just padding that to get to that awesome forty five because that third act is trulyly magical. And I want to see if our friend, you know, the director of Malignant, actually was inspired by the manit two. I feel like it's impossible not to be. Anyway, thank you, Zach for that great observation and maybe Alcalser did a little bit of product placement. May that maybe that's what it is. Maybe they were ahead of the branding game way before anybody else. All right, we're going take a quick break right now. We'll be back with some more corrections and omissions from our discord. so stick around. Great news for comedy TV fans.

We take one out of the vault. This week's classic episode was TheQu with John Claude Van Dam with our guest, John Gabris. And next week we will be revisiting the twenty twenty two superhero flop Morbius, that's right Get your more on. So keep on checking out all of our replays of classic episodes every Tuesday.

They're not unspooled shirts. they're just kind of like fun movie shirts. My favorite one, My letterbox topop five is better than yours. All right, let's see what our discord has to say about the Manitu doctor Guts ten hundred and three writes. I think the fact that Karen and Tony Curtis are wearing robes before sex can be explained by the fact that they had just been outside in the pouring rain in the previous scene. So they probably just changed into something dry. But what I couldn't understand is why is Karen opening a bottle of wine the night before her operation? I mean, the fact that she woke up during the procedure probably has less to do with the Mitou and more because she had too much alcohol in her system for the anesthesia to work Dct. Guts, you are a doctor. so I'm going to take this as you know, as as science fact U lookook, it was the seventies. We're putting our hands in a big jug of water to wash them off. I don't think that anyone was saying, donon't eat or drink before surgery and even Don't go to the bone zone before surgray. I just feel like all of these choices were wrong. The Greayest Hound writes, the story that Paul vaguely remembered about a girl with a scarf that kept her head on was called The Green Rribbon. It was in a collection of scary stories for kids called in Albin Swartz. It was a particular favorite of mine as a kid and I actually have cosplayed as Jenny, The girl with the ribbon Oh my God. this is so great. Now Scott actually pold the last page of this short story. It's pretty amazing. She says Alfred, she said Now I can tell you about the green ribbon And you will see Why I could not tell you before solely and carefully Alfred tide the bbon Jenny's head fell off. Boom, that's how you end a story I love it than you for bringing that into my life. I will make my kids read the green ribon in a dark dark room All right, and Android Lauren Hotel writes, Jessico is very close to the mark when she described the head during the seance as looking like it was almost a jel emo During Seances in the height of spiritualism, the matter left behind by spirits was called a mold. They were usually made from paraffin, wax, or muslin. The head in the film would be something expected by mediums holding a circle, but then they must have freaked out because it's usually a fake technique to fool people This is like so they actually were making mold in seances, this is actually It fascinating to me And Scott chimes in more and says, and actually in the nineteen twenties, the medium Franic Clusky claimed that spirits would dip their materialized limbs into a bowl of hot paraffin wax and the resulting wax molds of hands should be treated as scientific proof of the paranormal. However, at one seance, the attendees asked him to produce a face mold instead of the usual hand mold, and the wax mold he produced ended up resembling a human butt moreore than a face, seeance attendees accused him of using his own butt And it was later confirmed that Franic suffered burns on his butt for days afterfterwards All right, how did he even create this thing that his butt? because was he doing it before or during? Was it like rigged to his butt Oh, I love it. I love the paranormal and I love like this kind of holksterism in it U I love this. I love it. I love it. I didn't even know this could be real. U Okay U Fun Facts forty seven writes, If the evil medicine man's primary goal right after birth was to breach the salt circle trapping him, why didn't he use the orderly's dead body he possessed to simply break the circle for him Well, fun facts Then we wouldn't have a third act Yes, I don't know. Well maybe can he like possess a body like he could possess a body. H Huh You got a good point. I didn't realize that the salt circle like if it just had a little break in it like a like a pacman board, he could get out through it Um So you're you're saying that if they just swept up the salt He's good to go. Interesting someomebody chime in here. Does the salt need to st on the ground or is the salt like kind of like layering it down then the salt kind of gets in the ether and then we're like trapped in this other zone. I don't know. And again, u you know I don't think that this movie did that much research. The reason why I they had to keep them in that circle was because they'd have a bigger budget to have them run around insside that hospital. All right, so many great corrections and omissions this week, but there can only be one winner. And you know, Android Lauren Hotel really kind of open my eyes to something I did not know before. I'm also still grossed out by Diane's call about the rugs, but I have to say, Android Lauren Hotel really just makes me want to Google some more because I want to find out how they did these wax hands and butts. well, not I think butts was a one time thing. But I love it all. So anyway, you are our winner. and for your prize, we have assembled the official Manitu new parent emergency kit. The kit has everything you'll ever need in case you ever give birth to an ancient demonic entity out of your neck. I'm talking about essential items Maternity Turtleck with a fabric bulge in the collar for your growing lump, best selling book, what to expect when you're expecting a four hundred year old gooey littleittle deevil manan, a novelty baby Oesie with a parody of straight out of Compton logo that's a straight out of your neck lump. And lastly a tube of standard new Mommy nipple balm, which I should note is not for breastfeeding damage, but for the burns from the lasers that will shoot out of your nipples. And so this is just a great thing to have just in case you have somebody coming out of your neck. So I gotta tell you Android Lauren Hotel. I hope you enjoy that and you never have to use it. But like Karen in the movie, you never know when you'll be in the wrong place at the wrong time. To the rest of you listening who didn't win this amazing prize, you can try your luck next episode by submitting your corrections and omissions on our discord or by leaving us a voicemail at speakpipe. com slash h dtgm All right, it is that time of the show when Jason pops in.

Is it this It good be that a little swinging the gain a little tip of the head not it's Jason justust getting into it all in the segment that we call Just chat All right, everybody. hereere we go. It's Jason. and Paul wasn't able to be here. so I was like, I need somebody to come in and talk to me about the stuff that I'm watching that reminds me of the old TV I say episodes that I used to do with Ashley R a, comedian, podcaster. So I was like, call her up Get her in here, ladies and gentlemen, Ashley Ray, welcome to How did this G getet Married? Oh, thank you. It it's so good to be here. I have needed to talk TV. It is crazy. You are, you know, you had this show, TV I say for many years that I was a regular guest on for kind of Ye end recommendation lists going through the stuff we loved. and boy have I missed getting to chat with you since you stopped doing the podcast. I We've just been like two hours talking about every single show and it was the best. It was the best. And now like there's a peak TV moment happening right now and I don't have anybody to talk to you about it with. L I need so glad it I'm so glad that this came up because this is made this been making me excited all week. I've been making a list. I'm excited to talk to you about the stuff. I've been watching. I'm curious if we're watching the same stuff. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm All right. Let's go. What do you got? Let's jump in. I mean the guest is please please Yeah like there's so much. We just got a, I think number one, right off the bat. new show of the season that was a sleeper hit Widows they I mean TV. Let's talk about it. It's number one on my list too. And I'm going to say this. I don I will say and full disclosure Katie Dipppold, creator of Widows Bay, friend of the show, long term friend of Paul and I from UCB New York. We've known her twenty plus years. So funny, worked on parks and recs. so the best I'm so delighted that I guess people are figuring out that she's also the person who is responsible for the viral Mam Babaduke Yes meme. She is the person dressed as the Babaduke in costume at a Halloween party that nobody else appears dressed up at Yes, just also very funny like Twitter legend. Yeah and watching people watch Widows Bay and go, I thought this was gonna to be scary, but it's actually so funny Is anyone else getting a parks and rec vibe? And it's like, yes, that's what it is. Thats goodood. It's so good. I really am like You know, this is the strongest first season of a show I've seen in I don't even know how long. This is not just because you mentioned at the beginning, like show Sleeers's Secret Show of the Ye. like I would say Sleeperers Show of the last like five years. I evenven shows that I was excited about have let me down This was this I was excited about it becausecause it was my friend's show and I knew kind of what it was, but every episode just opens up into something so cool and so funny and so weird that I delighted. And I have my new favorite character in my lifetime now, Patricia. Incredible She's just incredible. I did not know what I was gonna get from her in the beginning And then episode where she becomes obsessed with throwing the the wine the party part The episode that's basically just about that follows only her story was so and that's like one of those examples of a thing which is like That's like, I can't remember it may be episode four or maybe five. For them Yeah so quickly so adeptly start telling like single character episode stories while still managing to branch out this large cast of characters, this weird supernatural island. All of there's a lot going on, but they're still able to completely confidently execute like single character point of view episodes And not just that, they'll be like, you know what? let's take it back to the fifteen hundred. Yeah, watch this two episodes later back back in time. And then go we got Betty Gilpin. She's down to do something fun. And that again, one of my favorite episodes, also hilarious and it pays off in just such a great way with Hammish Linklater coming back is a really old guy not to give too much Yeah. Oh no. just I don't think you spoil this show. Yeah. I I mean can spoil it. Even though I feel like there's a ton of mysteries and secrets and there's a ton of stuff going on and stuff you can have that feeling of like talking to your friends about, well, do you think this is that or do you think they are this or all that stuff? great. but like It's also not a mystery. really? Yeah. It's not like I'm like so invested in the JJ Abrams mystery box type of thing. Yeah like who would wearing that mask? It's like that doesn't really matter. It's more like, you know they're gonna to use Patricia as like the last woman and like she's going be the survivor, but it's like gonna play out in a very funny ridiculous way Well, it's wonderful to have it be Yes, I'm concerned and so invested in the mysteries and the secrets and revealing them and all of that, but all of that is only coming through our relationship with the characters. Yeah. And that's what comes first. And that's what I feel like a lot of the other kind of mystery forward shows seem to care more about the mystery or the who done it or the whatever V and the characters can feel real stock and real arc typple. And this feels like everybody is an absolute weirdo. Everyone And Uually in shows like this, the teen cast They don't pull their weight for me. I usually am rolling my eyes when I'm like some moody teenager who's finding out familyily secrets. I don't care. Like I'm like, yeah, I get it, but there's monsters afoot. Like yes, you're secondary. But even in this, I'm like Oh no, like the his son is so good. So good findinding out your mother was like actually alive and all this stuff the way that they set up the wait, willill he die if he leaves? Y. It's just also well done Oh, and like the for a show to so incredibly smartly be able to hold two competing things at once. a compelling horror narrative. that nonetheless is still inexplicably Hilarious. Yeah. you know, and the laughs don't let the steam out of the the horror, like the anxiety, the pressure, like There'll be scenes that are overtly funny and have jokes and are hilarious. And then like the scene where the kids are parked outside of the, you know, the creepy house And then Ethan goes up to go into the house. And then there's this moment where it switches from like chararming, funny teen haaa cracking actual good jokes to Yeah truly tension Hing. Oh my God. is you know, like and they they they they are so good at drawing out tension and the anxiety in a way that Still they can then flip it on a diamond be, you know, Neil Casey can say something hilarious or Stehen Root can do something funny. The idea that Steen Rot is able to do double duty here. Yes, is incredible. Wh and he practiced on Barry. was n That is true. Just that energy is coming across so well here Matthew Reese, Unreal My perfect boy in this. Wow Like I don't know if you're famili with Purge the cowardly doaw cartoon. It's a it's a cartoon network cartoon. Okay was about it. a dog that was named Courage, but very cowardly is always dealing with like monsters and zombies attacking his little home was terrified. And Matthew Rees is doing a perfect like a perfect caricature of that little dog. Every face he makes is just him being like, oh no, not another problem. and it's so good. The scene of him on the boat where he's just like looking down this old man and then the boat shifts and he flies out of his seat like he's Charlie Chaplin. I just every choice he makes is perfect. It' It's an incredible performance because he has to Be forwarding every bit of plot. You know what I mean? both the serious wighty plot. He is, you know, he is the person who's making steps initially that are that then kind of lead to a lot of bad stuff. So he has like a very high stakes role in it, but he is still so Charlie Chaplin is a great call so goofy and physically silly at times without feeling like a u a clown character without it feeling like it's a Jim Carerey or like a clown performance. it feels very real and organic, but silly Which is wow, what a magic trick to pull off. I mean, I rolled my eyes when I was like, oh, they're doing an episode where he takes shrooms. Yes. Ends up being one of my favorite episodes. Well, I was like going up to the car with the teenagers pererfect. just every just So much physical comedy. Well, I mean, and what a great Okaykay, so I'm so glad you brought up that episode because I think that's an incredible episode of television because We are now, especially in recent history, we are full of TV shows or movies, but TV shows that feature everybody doing a powerful drug and then we watch their experience on the drug And what I loved about this show is this show very confidently is like, we'll never let you into his interiority. We'll never let you see the trip through his eyes, all we see it all from the people around him. He just is awakening and he's lost time You know, we now see him, but we're we're always seeing him from the outside, which I loved. Yeah. It's like I loved just and seeing the growing frustration of Patricia like getting the leash on him and just what is going on? Yeah like we've told you, we've told you where Ethan is. just So good. And then Chris Fleming. doing great amazing, amazing guest role there. I just Again, people knowing what they're doing everybody every it's like a who's who of incredible character actors incredible and then just also like like the woman playing Patricia like true discovery for me at least. I I'm certain I've seen her in something, but I not can't it with her. And so and as a result, it feels like a true reveal or a true revelation. I'm like, I'm discovering a a new like person, you know, they Yeah she feels so fully realized, I think personally because I'm I'm not bringing any baggage from anything else, you know? Yeah You know, I did not expect her to really be a main character, especially since we have Jeff Hiller there and I was so good. I was like, we're obviously going to get a whole episode around him and then Patricia just comes out of nowhere. He my heart. Exceptional. He's another he was I think on a Harald team with Katie Dipppold for many years, another old UCB New York mainstay and then I thought was just incredible on somebody somewhere. and then ye He deser that Emy. Heon that Emy. right? Yeah, exactly. Okay, right. He was underdog and he was love it was beautiful. I love it. makes me so happy. Yeah. she's done such a great job populating this show with an incredible cast of characters and character actors, which is absolutely a blast. Okay. Scott's saying we should move on because We should move on. I could talk about Widows Bay all day. Yes. could this could be the Beayhive. Is that Is that No I don't think anyone's using Beayhive. I think we could go with that. All right, we'll that Okay. Okay, so let's see. what else'll do another Apple TV one. Maximum pleasure guaranteed Have you done I have not started. I love Tatiana Maslani. I'm a huge fan. I'm excited for the show, but I haven't started it yet. Please go I think it is better to start with a few episodes out. They did they did the classic Apple TV debut with three episodes. Now I think there's five out. So it is a slow build. It's really good. It is everything she was doing an orrphan bllack, but instead she's like a alcoholic mom with a dark dark secret. I love it. Oh my Oh, I can't I can't believe I'm forgetting his name from New Girl. everyverybody's favorite guy. Oh Jake.' Jake Johnon. Y. Yeah Jake Johnson. Yeah. He's in it. amazing. J ornery ex husband, he's doing great. And then, you know, there's She gets pulled into this dark city underbelly of like cam cores and stuff. and it's really funny though. It is kind of like Widows Bay where you think, oh, this is gonna be like a kind of dark drama, maybe like imperfect women or your friends and family. But then it goes into a really funny place where you're like watching a stalker like find her daughter to kill her. Oh wow then he gets the wrong person and it's funny and it's like, okay. Yeah Well, I feel like a little bit of what we were saying about Matt Reese in Widows Bay is true for Tatana as well, which is I think she can do anything. You know what I mean? Like I think she can carry, you know, if you go to Perry Mason or you she can do heavy, very weighty stuff, very intense, emotionally available stuff, Orphan Black, incredible. But then she can turn and she hulk, be hilarious. Hilarious. Like truly hilarious She's a regular guest on comedy Bang bang. She's a she did improv in Canada. Like she is an absolute hilarious person. So in this she gets to be funny and then also very, very sad and dark, but then she'll just like pull it around and it's another show that I think people are gonna to start talking about more when it ends Yeah. I think people wanted a few episodes to come out because it is like one of those frustrating mystery shows where you're like, come on, I just like Where is this going FX is The Bear, the Emmy Award winning series returns for its final season with no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm in their way the team bands together to achieve one last service.

People who switch their car insurance to GICO save about n hundred dollars a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz Fkers just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents I'm getting a hint of Irish there. It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Gaio You mentioned one of the things you mentioned in there, which led me to want to ask you this because I haven't watched any of it, but you said, I think you said in cam girls describing this, have you watched Margot has money troubles yet? Yes And I have my next one on the Oh good. Oh great, great. I got I got yeah, they're killing it over on it. byy the way, I love ye. Yeah Like I'm sorry, HBO, but they've kind of come for you and they're in the lead. like I did like Margot's G Money troubles It's funny. I did read the book it's based on and I actually was not a fan of the book. and so I thought the TV show did a better job of highlighting this girl who's really young and naive and You know, there like cam girling has become kind of a plotline in a lot of shows recently and everyone's like, oh wow, that's the new kind of obsession with Hollywood. But ye it's really secondary in the show. Like it's really about this girl coming to terms with her father being an addict and you know, realizing she and that's man. Yeah that's ob ye Yeah. and he's so so like to me, he carries the show.'s Another guy, another person an actor, I think can do anything can be so serious and so terrifying in something like devs And then can be and then can really straddle the line in like by lightning Yeah, and here he's a scary funny dad grandpa figure who's an ex wrestler. Wow. Yeah, like he plays it so, so well and has one of the most terrifying like near death scenes that like it's just heartbreaking to watch and he does it so well So I'm I think I don't know we might hear some Emmy stuff for him. It I love I a different role for him. great. Yeah So I thought it was a good show. It's more emotional than funny. Yeah really. I think people kind of were like, I wanted more comedy But it is a little, you know, it's a kind of traditional. It's it's a little sincere. It's a little it's not a broad comedy. it might have light moments. Yeah. I'm having with a lot of shows right now is this thing of why isn't that girl getting an abortion? And it's a problem in a lot of shows right now. where they never really address it, but in this one, they at least give her the excuse of she's very Naive and basically her parents are like, don't do this. And because they say don't do it, she's like, fuck you I' show you I can do it. Yeah, sure. We' be contrarian Yeah with Roooster, which I love Rooster, very funny. It's like, no, we need to sit down and talk about why this girl is having a kid with a guy that she clearly hates, herer friends clearly hate him. Why are we doing this? Oh wow. Okaykay, so I'm not watching Rooster So I didn't I did not know that was a plotline and it does Yeah. o. I I'll put that on the list. It is HBO's biggest debuting comedy right now. I mean which is wild It is wild because it's not that interesting I watch It's and I watched the first episode and it again it felt to me Again, like another show that's not quite funny the way I'd like it to be. Yeah. you know It felt just a little it just felt a light light, you know. Yeah. it is light. Yeah. And it's like the whole time I mean this basically a guy has an affair with a grad student, gets her pregnant, decides to leave his wife, but then kind of goes back and forth. Steve Carell comes back And it's his daughter's school, she's a teacher there. It's actually based on where I went to college. So that part was kind of interesting. When where did you go to school? Williams College? Oh yeah. Oh yeah yeah. you went I went to Middlebury. Yeah, Middleburry. Yeahah. yeah. So, you know, people watching it were like is this realistic? Do teachers really hang out with students like this? And I was like, Yeahah, no, that's what it's like out there. Oh for sure, for sure Like, yeah, your teacher would be like, want to come to my house and stay in my sauna. That' abbsolutely. We'll and we're all going we're all going toe to Jeff's the professor's name, we all call him Jeff. We all call Jeff. It's our first name. Absolutely. And people so that I was like, it does capture that But it could be funnier. It's just kind of a light show that lets Steve Carerell kind of be adorable and then you're like, but wait, why is this girl keeping this baby? and then her Robbie Hoffman amazing in it. But then they're just like, God, he's an asshole, right? And it's like, yeah, ye is. So why are you doing this? That's That's a bummer. That's what I and a little bit like I'm so grateful for right now a show that I think isn't getting enough love simply because I feel like it is pound for pound like so joke dense in a way that I'm desperate for is the fall and rise of Reggie Dinkkins. Yes. Yes This is I think pound for pound like the funniest show actively happening right now. in a fun sitcom for sure. That's what I mean, you know, The landscape of sitcoms is so kind of what we're saying about what I'm saying at least about Roooster or a lot of other of these half hour comedies that are lauded You know, they're either soft or kind of funny. noody wants this or not funny at all. The bear and all of these are great shows., I'm not saying I'm not shading these shows I think these are great shows, but you know, they're just not necessarily what I'm looking for in a half hour comedy And that is what what Reggie Dinkkins is giving someone wants that like thirty rock Parks and Rck like forty jokes a second, like Reggie Dinkkins. I've already rewatched the season because there are jokes I missed and knew I missed. It was like I need to go back and Well that's what I mean. It's so jokeed dense like there's the shit that's happening, one of the funniest jokes to me on it is evidence of this because it's like, They are all obsessed with watching a TV show called FDNY Chicago. Chicago? Yeah. So it's in the New York Fire Department that is answering calls to fight fires in Chicago. Chicago. And it is and it's so softly threaded into the show. It's just on the TV in the background characters will every once in a while reference it. But I'm like, oh, this is what I love about shows like this is there are so many layers of jokes happening that yeah, you can watch it multiple times and still get more out of it. And that episode had my favorite jokes about Chicago that funnier than anything the bear's ever done when he's just like, I can't, my pizz iss deeper than I'm used to It's so good. It's so good And it's one where I don't know if it's because If Peacock isn't really promoting it or NBC, but I thought it would get more attention. I don't understand. Tina Fe' killing it right now. Yeah L she has this, she has four seasons. She's still the queen of comedy. Oh yeah. And in that one, I mean, just to call it back, we mentioned Meghgan theallion earlier. let's let's Yeah put her here Jenkins a hilarious couple of episodes that she appears in Yeah as a love interest for teeny tiny Daniel Radcliffe, who is absolutely Hilarious in this show. I think So good in it. And I'm glad he's finally getting recognized. People didn't really know what he was doing in miracle workers, which was so funny. And now I also love that they took the You know, the I think people are getting tired of the Mckumentary thing and they just have completely flipped it in such a great way. A great Everybody Bobby Moyihan's doing so So funny. He's great Everybodybody Everybody's great. Where are you, Ashley Ray on as a streaming service I like Brit box. Okay. It is one that I altered in and out. Okay, oerest Yeahah, I'll like do it for the summers and get my Bit box in and then I switch to Pilo Oh you do it seasonally not based on Oh, there's something I wna watch on it. Yeah, no. If there's something really good, I might change the lineup, but usually right now I'm like watching loveove after lockup and this is Polly on Philo. It's that season. so I gotta I gotta have my Philo for my W TV right now. I don't even know what phhilo is. you keep saying it and I'm like Yeah I'm just saying like it's like a thing everyone shouldhilo It's like for every TV network that like you might remember from cable, like weTV or like how there was a channel that would just like stream courtrooms, All of those networks still exist, but no one can watch them 'cause they don't have cable. And Philo went Phillo's actually a former sponsor of the show. They've sponsored your show They sponsored this show. They basically went let's sorry of those channeliloilo that we all in love. And of course use the promo code bonkers for ten percent off your subscription Also I'll say they don't check if you use different emails and you can coast for eight months on free phhilo accounts. I love that which is what I do. And I'm sure they're going to be thrilled We're letting that hack out You can watch like great. It has like hallmark shows, We TV. Oh, got it. Yeah. like basically if you still want to watch a BT reality show, you have to have Philo. Like they don't have any of the real channels, but Well, so that's interesting. I lock up. Yeah, I don't need Philo because of course, as a genen Xer I still have direct TV. Yeah, exactly. I still have a DVR in my home. Yeah. My friends who are like, what do you mean you can't watch like the summer House Reunion Live? And I'm like, I don't have cable. Like I watch it on Peacock the next day and And they're like that sounds like hell. And it is honestly. Well, when you next have Brit Box, may I please recommend the other Bennett sister Oh, I've been hearing good things about this. Absolutely dynamite. It is so good and so fun and funny and a L it's an interesting show because it is a I guess it's based on a book, I don't know the book. And it's basically about, you know, the family that is sense and sensibility and persuasion and all those stories Yeah except the focus is on Mary Bennett, who is the sister who doesn't get married and the sister who has, you know, you're following her on her solo adventure in life and it is it's half hour episodes, even though it is like a period it very much is a light period drama, I would say. It's not a it's not a u Dickinson or The G. It's not like a contemporary music and it's not a Bridgerton, like a it's not a it doesn't have a l not not just for the sex and the fun. Not at all. it is it feels like you're watching a very good version of one of those Emmas or sense and sensibilities. Okay. Except that it's just a little lighter and the episodes are thirty minutes or thirty five minutes or something. So boy, it goes down smooth and it is I don't know if it's just the mood I'm in or the place the world is in, but it is delightful to spend time with Mary Bennett and watch her work her way through the world because it just kind of It just is such it's if you know those stories, it's wonderful because you're watching like a a Rosencranton and Gildenstern are dead for the this the stories you know so well. So you know, in the background, there's mister Darcy in the background over there, but he's not a he hasn't he's barely spoken in this show completely Which is I love this. Oh yeah, it's. I would love this. Okay. I'm putting that on my Bit box list. I I'm looking forward to outrageous I don't know that It's that's the one my friends were like, you got to get Brit Box for outrageous. Oh good. Oh They told me it's about six sisters. I love a I love a big family show. That's the one they're like, Ohh, it's great. S sisters So I have been kind of I have that on my Britbox list. but I gott to wait for loveve after lockup to finish it. Yeah. Okaykay, I get it. When you do get Britbox to, I will recommend this is not a recent show. This is from a couple of years ago. The David Mitchell show Ludwig, which I thought. Yes. That other things about that one. Great in that in that way in that In the kind of kooky character solves real mysteries, A la, Elsbeth or High potential or those kind of stories, this is very much that with David Mitchell at the middle of it, which is terrific. Okay and I'm in on that. We're running out of time. I know that, but what else do you have anything more you want to passionately talk about or we Yeah have we haven't even got to HBO Max. I don't need to say anything more about hacks, but wow, they nailed that landing. Beautiful, beautiful. Half manan, what a scary show. I haven't watched it. Oh my go. Oh my go. What a scary heart to watch terrifying show Richard Gad, are you okay? Give some help. I saw the one man show version of Baby reindeer in London And it was So unsettling It stayed with me for like I don't know, three months afterwards, I thought about it Cstantly Like baby reindeer is like a comedy compared to Half Man. Wow. Oh wow. Halfman is just my friends would like come over when I was watching, they'd be like, is this just the one with like angry men yelling? And it's like, yeah, it's just like Just sad angry men's there's never a moment of happiness. The whole time you're like, could just something be okay for once for any character in the show? No But Richard Gad is terrifying in it does a wonderful job It's just so, so dark, but I did like it. It's one of those shows that sticks with you and the ending is so horrifying that you're like, oh well, I'll have a few nightmares. That's great. Okay. A show that does give me nightmares just because it's so scary and unsettling while also being, I think captivating and fantastic as a as a procedural thriller kind of detective show is Dark Winds. Do you watch Stark winds on AMC at all I do. Yeah. I'm obsessed. I think this is the best If you get Pilo, you get AMC with it for free. That's how I watch all the AMC shows.old Do you get MGM Actually think you do. Okay, because if you get MGM, then that helps me get my beloved SAS Rogue Hoes, which is because that's what I do. I subscribe to services when I know something like when SAS Rogue heroes has a new season, I subscribe to MGM. Yeah. like interview with the vampires coming back. so that's another reason I file it because you get AMC with that. Y. Yeah. Exactly. And so'm I'm subscribing to shit because there's something on there. I want I subscribbe to something called MHZ for a while Just because there was some like detective show from Norway I wanted to watch. And then I forgot I had it. it's that a lot. Yeah. But Dark Winds, I think is, I think is kind of an incredible show that in I feel like at a time when people were watching shows week to week regularly in a way that like Mad Men or Breaking Bad. I'm just using other AMC shows as an example. I feel like Dark Winds would be an enormous hit I feel like it is getting lost in the shuffle that AMC is not a real not real channel. It's not real It's neither a channel nor a streaming service. It's enough And hard to find Exactly. And as a result the show doesn't get the press or the promotion or the the push that it needs to break through But ye, and people confuse it with like one of those like paramount shows. Like I've heard people be like, oh, isn't that like one of the Taylor Shheridan shows? Yeah, Taylor Sheridan' shows and I'm like, no, it's not at all. It's not at all It is a detective story or it's a police procedural that's set on a Native American reservation in the seventies. that's based on Tony Hillerman books Robert Redford and George R R Martin produce it. Zhon McLaran is the lead and is unbelievable in this role. It is Lightly supernatural in ways that are so compelling and so interesting, but it's that's not what it is. It's not a It's not a supernatural mystery show You're not like waiting for I don't like the stranger things not at all of like, oh, how does this magic work or Not at all They are they are tackling regular like a case of a case per season that they are investigating And then there are light flavors of supernatural stuff that are going on that are really wnder. It's kind of what I wanted from that last season a trrue Detective. Yeah Joni Foster. It's like if that had nailed it, this it's Dark with. I agree. So good. I agree. Yeah. And I think true Detective is a great for Dark Winds because I think it shares a lot of similar DNA. I do think Dark Winds is just B at it Possibly Possibly because it's based on books that are good And so they have they have a bedrock to build off of. Anyway. they didn't have to be in the shadow of trrue detective one of theest shows ever. Anything else I will for adult animated shows, I have enjoyed Kevin. Oh yeah on Amazon Prime video. one hundred percent. Aubrey Plaza. Yep, Joe Wangards show. incredible so many UCB and You know, LA comedy friends in that one. like a fantastic It wasn't expecting much and then Whoopy Goldberg's in it. She's great. It really surprised me. John Waters has a great little part in. funny. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to give a shout out to the adult animated. Yeah no, I feel like I feel like both you and I are very committed to as adults to furthering animation to other adults U ye, you know, because I do. I feel like But I will say we've also lost a bunch of good adult animated shows. Yeah the Rick and Morty has just started itss new season, but I frankly, I am not caught up. so could I don't I can't it's on my list. excited. It's on my list, but I was like my list I didn't get to it. Yeah. I'm like, you know, I'm caught up. I have a Rick and Morty tattoo. I'm going to watch Yeah, but I'm not excited Yeah. I am sad that we lost smiling friends. Yeah. And that last little episode they did was so good. Have you watched this show that has now been recommended to me a few times, but I haven't started it called, I think Digital Circus? Have you heard of this? I don't think I have It might be that might not be the whole title. There might be more words to it. Anyway It's been occurred to that you might know it because a bunch of c a bunch of cool people told me about it. Yeah. It's like a YouTube thing and everyone's like, oh, it's more popular than like Harry Potter and. I think it's now the amazing digital circus. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. It's like a big thing. It's now on, I think maybe Netflix or it's on a it's now on a streaming service. It' started on YouTube Apparently it's amazing. So but I didn't know if you knew it.'s been it's just organically come up like three times in the last week. So I'm like, o, this show's clearly having emotent. Just this morning, someone was asking me about it actually. Yeah. and I was like, I don't know. I don't watch YouTube TV. Amazing I'm old. Oh, so old. All right. Do you have any last minute Res? just before we get out of here, I know you've got look at, you look genuinely panicked I genuinely like there's so much. We didn't even get to peacock. Run it down. go. Sip was really good with Zoey Lister Jones. It's about a woman and every time she has sex and orgasm, she's pushed into a different life where whoever she had sex with becomes her new partner. Oh And she like it's a really cool funny premise. It's great. Oh, that comic I also like is in it. I can't remember saying, but it's really good And then obviously Love Island is happening right now. and it's great. I mean, I've been totally bravo fied in my head. They got me into all the real housewives Summer house. I can't stop Real Housewives of Rhode Island is Really good. What Yeah they got me. They got me got Oh finallyooked It's over I'm cooked. I'm all in. I hate that I know who Kyle is from Summer House and I have opinions about southern hospitality which I don't know E of the vander rules reboot. Yeah, but wow. Yeah, that's the thing is I'm fully whenever stuff like that happens, like the Summerhouse scandal or the scandal from a couple years ago with Sandal. Thankk you. Y course. I'm aware of it because it bubbles through to general pop culture, but I'm not like I've never heard of Summerhouse
