Speaker 1:

Welcome to our Ted Lasso talk, the Tedcast. Welcome all Greyhound fans, welcome all you sinners from the dog track and all the AFC Richmond fans around the world. It's the Lasso way around these parts with Coach, coach and Boss, without further ado, coach Castleton.

Speaker 2:

Welcome back, beautiful people. Today we are discussing Wayne wayne. This is episode 10. Buckle uh, the fuck up uh. But the fuck word fuck has two asterisks in it on youtube. So it's just buckle the f? Asterisk, asterisk, k up, um, I think I knew what they meant, so I was just jumping. Jumping to the conclusion, coach, uh, I'm your host, coach Castleton. With me, as always, is Coach Bishop.

Speaker 3:

Hey there, bear boy. I just love that from Reggie. It's so funny to me that he is that dumb. It is he's such a dummy?

Speaker 2:

Listen, sometimes it's the strangest engines that make the railroad work With us.

Speaker 4:

Coach is our boss, emily Chambers fuck and not fork, because I have been sending things to my boss that are Totally inappropriate.

Speaker 2:

Totally inappropriate, wildly inappropriate.

Speaker 3:

Also, I would like to say Could you grab me a lunch?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, do you need a fork. Do the last race. Can you grab me?

Speaker 4:

Yeah, could you grab me a lunch? Yeah, do you need a fork? Can you grab me? Yeah, could you grab me that lunch and also like at least two or three really good forks, um. I also would like to mention that parasocial relationships are weird and toxic and I'm, by and large, not into them. But sometimes, while you're scrolling instagram, you find out that Osling B is several months pregnant and has just announced that at the Big Slick in Kansas City over the weekend. And then you have to shout at your phone oh honey, I am so happy for you, even though you've never met in real life and never will. But congratulations to Osling B.

Speaker 3:

Ok, on that topic and quickly because we're going to get to it On that topic and quickly because we're going to get to it. I was listening to a podcast called the Tedcast when.

Speaker 3:

I found out that John Lovett and Ronan Farrow broke up and I felt like I had been betrayed and abused. I had to pause. I was like wait, you don't just say something like that. I don't know why everyone else knew and I was in the dark, but my feelings were legitimately hurt, like I was like they're not that many couples that I look at and go. You know what? I am actively glad you're together. I am actively I like that that's happening in the universe and when you, I just I needed a moment. I really I was like I don't know either of these people, what do I care? But I really needed a moment. After that, it's it's.

Speaker 4:

It is upsetting. I um have had both of them. To the best of my knowledge um not straight men definitely obviously um attracted to both of them weirdly. I'm usually not into blondes, but I like both of them weirdly. I'm usually not into blondes, but I like both of them very much. I was very sad when they broke up and then I was just. I didn't know how to process the fact that John Lovett is on season 47 of Survivor. I don't know what to do with that information.

Speaker 3:

I'm kind of pretending it's not happening, Like I was even listening to Pod Save America the other morning and they were kind of talking about it and I was sort of pretending like oh, this is the fever dream part.

Speaker 4:

I'm just going to.

Speaker 3:

Bobby Ewing this shit and be done with it.

Speaker 4:

Like no way I can't start watching Survivor now, but also am I supposed to not watch him make a fool of himself in nature obviously? Or win the whole damn thing maybe he'll win the whole damn thing because he's a political animal.

Speaker 3:

It would be hilarious if he won the whole thing. That would be amazing so neither of you have ever seen Survivor no, I watched the first season for sure, and I want to say I may have watched two seasons, I definitely watched the first season, but I haven't. Yeah, I haven't.

Speaker 2:

There are a couple good ones in there. I used to cover it a little bit. I'm fascinated by the relationships. There are a few good ones. I haven't watched all of them. Our producer, seth uh, dustin, and well and dan, most of our producers have uh watched almost all of them. Um, but I would uh, coach, I would love to watch at least a couple episodes with you and maybe we do something on that. Because here's the thing we we love to compartmentalize the people that we admire, and that's why they say never meet your heroes, because you say, oh, I know him as a political analyst and therefore that's what he is right and I've decided all I want from him.

Speaker 2:

This is why it's difficult to have a generalist twitter. If you just talk about six, six or seven different things, people unfollow you eventually because they're like I don't care about women's soccer or I don't care about you know you're the fact that you're a Democrat, not a Republican. You know, I don't care about that.

Speaker 2:

What I care about is one thing, and I want this, this account, to mean one thing. So we as human beings will sometimes, you know, force that compartmentalization on the people we like or admire or, uh, you know, see in one way, and I would like to push back against that and say that humans are complete humans. I mean, just listen, I know both of you from this podcast. I know what people see. I know specifically here, I know what you show and what you don't, and I also know all the other stuff.

Speaker 2:

Now, we're pretty honest about who we are outside of the podcast. I've never once heard any of us say something that was not true. We've been honest about it. It's kind of a core value of we're not making up stories that are happening offline, but it's not the same as living it. It's not the same as seeing you and I've seen both of you offline and there's more of a picture there as living it. It's not the same as seeing you and I've seen both of you offline and you know there's more of a picture there and and and even as you um curate the experiences for people in this medium, it still has the you know, the sort of locus of your communication about it. You know it's. It's still conveyed in a mannerism that people are used to hearing from you. So anyway, maybe, coach, maybe we we explore that and just just see if see how it hits you.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, no, I'm very, I'm very curious. I know Jimmy Johnson was on a season and like there are a few names that I heard that I did sort of generally think, oh, I bet that'll be interesting. So I'd be definitely, I definitely would be open to to uh checking some stuff out. But for me, with some I was this way I watched several seasons of like the real world, like I was early reality right, and there did come a point where I was like I kind of know what's gonna happen already. Like the first episode I'd be like, okay, so these two are gonna hook up, this one's gonna be an asshole the whole time.

Speaker 3:

Like the beauty of the first one is it really was a social experiment like no one had ever done that before. So these motherfuckers had no idea what it was going to be like. So you really saw some shit that once you've watched the show for a season, two seasons, three seasons, five seasons, you kind of go on there to be a character like you kind of go on to be like I'm gonna be the party girl or I'm gonna be. You know what I mean. So anyway, um, so I don't, I don't know that that happened with survivor because, like I said, at most I watched two seasons, and it very well could have been one. Yeah, at most I watched two, but it kind of felt like it could become that. How much of that political alliance stuff could play straight once you'd watch people pull it off four know, four years in a row or whatever.

Speaker 2:

Anyway I wonder if anyone would be, would be curious. So one of our dear friends, um, is the creator of a reality show that has billions and billions of views. Um, one of the top reality shows of all time, and I'm curious, maybe we have him on as a guest to sort of walk us through how he approaches it, how he comes at it, cause he is, it's funny. Uh, when you go into the, into the industry, you once upon a time it was like film side coach. You went in film side right, like all the way, like I remember TV. I was like, oh, like TV, like go fuck yourself. I remember oh, coach, you're sorry You're on mute, but yeah, I was like it was like a joke. It was like TV was for if you couldn't make it in the film side it was.

Speaker 3:

It was JV. Yeah, we got. I feel like we got here right when that was like shift, like the shift was beginning, and we lived through the shift. There was definitely a like film, tv, like vibe, when, when we were first out here for sure, uh, if we were I just realized who you're talking about. By the way, it took me a second. I was like who the hell do we know? And then I was like, oh, of course, yeah, and yeah, it would be kind of fascinating. Yeah, he told me some crazy ass stories of what he's had to like negotiate and get through.

Speaker 2:

I have, oh, no, no, no, it's like nothing you've ever heard, and I don't know what we can share, so I'm not going to share anything out of out of abundance of caution.

Speaker 2:

But listen, we came in at a film side and I remember I was talking to a gentleman who was actually running Netflix, the chairman of Netflix Films at the time and I told him we had sort of come into the industry at the same time. He came in the same as us, coach, he was like why didn't any of us think to just go on the TV side? There was no competition. Why didn't we he's like I said did of us think to just go on the TV side? There was no competition. Why didn't we? He's like it was. He's like. I said did you ever think about a TV? And his answer was fuck. No, he's like that's embarrassing. He's like that would have been.

Speaker 2:

that would have been like a capitulation to a thought. I'm not going to make films, television and now and even and even worse is the world of reality.

Speaker 1:

back then it was like, oh you're going to reality and and it's just like an embarrassment.

Speaker 2:

It's like a, it's like a joke, it's, it's like once upon a time when people would say, oh, are you? You're a writer. And you say, yeah, are you a novelist, are you a screenwriter, are you a playwright? Or no, no, I write online. They're like, oh god, it's like the reality. Yeah, I'm a blogger. Yeah, I'm a blogger.

Speaker 3:

it was like what, yeah, no, it's like the reality TV, yeah, I'm a blogger. Yeah, I'm a blogger. I was like what, yeah, no. It's funny how those things like so my daughter.

Speaker 2:

She was doing her homework at college and she said to me oh God, I said I hear that she has ADHD, so part of her brain she likes to keep occupied. I said, oh, I hear you're listening to some stuff while you're working. Yeah, you're working, yeah, I always do my work and I have a show on in the background. And I said what, um, what show you got? Oh, no, no, no, I don't know. I don't need that judgment from you. I said what do you mean? Like that?

Speaker 2:

She's like I know you, I know what a snob you are. As soon as I tell you what show, uh and uh, and she says, okay, she tells me, and it's the reality show that our friend made. So I said, oh, is that right? And so when she came home from college for the summer, I just did a Zoom call. It wasn't Zoom, but we did a call with my friend and I put my daughter on and then he answered all her questions and it was so great for her to say, hey, whatever happened here. Like you know, you watch a show and you're like jeez, I wonder what happened behind the scenes. You know, you know, and um, and. And she got to sit there and have every question answered about what happened behind the scenes for real that nobody else you know, nobody, no viewer, no uh, would ever see. And then yesterday we get a huge package in the mail and he had sent her all this swag from the show.

Speaker 2:

And it was game worn and then when she was like ask him who wore this stuff, and when she found out she was like jumping around the living room. You know what I mean. It's like so exciting to have he's a good guy, absolutely. You know what I mean. It's like so exciting to have, yeah, absolutely, and he's. He's unbelievably intelligent and uh, and he's an amazing human being. And watching him try to be a good person and run it run a reality show has been, uh, absolute joy. Um, but yeah, maybe we'll have him on the show. I'll see, see if I can bring him on because he has some insight for sure.

Speaker 2:

Okay, boss, did you have anything before we get cooking? Usually you have some anecdote that makes me want to die. Do you have any of those before we start?

Speaker 4:

No, I mean I already told you about the Godzilla joke. Yes, that's the only thing I can think of. Recently that was the 10-year-old niece. One of the higher numbers should be Godzilla.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, I like that, I'm with it.

Speaker 4:

That's all I got, nothing else to break your spirit.

Speaker 2:

Good, oh, phew, alright, I live another day. Where we left off with Wayne was Reggie walking into. You know he clubbed officer Darren, knocked him out with a with a plastic Fisher price microphone that coach didn't buy. Coach called bullshit.

Speaker 4:

I don't know about that.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, I, I, I was, I was, I was boss. Yeah, boss called.

Speaker 2:

Well cynic. You don't know how hard Reggie hits, clearly.

Speaker 4:

He can hit you with a marshmallow and out you go. I know the tinsel strength of one of those microphones. That's what I'm basing this moron.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, no, no, so you feel like the microphone would go before the officer yeah, absolutely, your skull is thick.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I'm speaking specifically to Castleton in this case. Your skull is thick. But in general also it does protect your whole brain, top of my back, but like it glanced off the top of my head too, when it broke yeah and so yeah, and I was like, yeah, I was like, yeah, I do have thick bones, that is, that is true. Um, so thank you for noticing, boss. I know that you meant that as a compliment, and, and, and, always in love. Um, I'm gonna take it that way I.

Speaker 4:

I mean, I spent the past weekend re-watching ghosts because I'm still infatuated with the caveman. So obviously, like, having a thick skull is not a knock against you necessarily, it's right up my alley.

Speaker 2:

You're infatuated with the caveman, like Neanderthals.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, from ghosts, I talked about it, ghosts BBC. There's a caveman named-.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, sorry, sorry, I didn't make that connection. Yes, right the goat.

Speaker 4:

I have it. I have a big crush on.

Speaker 2:

Right, God, that's disturbing you. You love to just pick these wayward creatures and these lost puppies and these absolute nightmare people and decide to have crushes on them. It is so.

Speaker 4:

I make poor decisions and I have terrible taste in men.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yep, I make poor decisions and I have terrible taste in men.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yep, and seen so where the boyfriend's like, oh my God, he'd be the first one that sounds like to be like yes, yes correct that.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, he, no, actually he was like you're watching ghosts again. I was like, well, I still have a crush on Robin. So what do you have a crush on the caveman? And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. He's secretly the smartest and funniest and most interesting in a weird way, and also, like, has a depth that most people don't see. You can't understand why I would be attracted to him. And he was like I don't know what you're trying to tell me about me, but I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 3:

And I'm like, ok, that's fine, that's fair. Too much truth. I'm moving on, I got it. It's a good it's a good partner for you boss um, okay, so, uh.

Speaker 2:

So reggie uh is about to leave with the keys and he turns and he sees his good old boy, wayne uh reggie, tied up like a goddamn animal, and this is where we left off now so I just want to toss this in because it's gonna matter, I think, as talk.

Speaker 3:

It could matter as we talk about the rest of this episode. I, some years ago and I may have offered this on here at some point came up with the definition of an asshole, and the definition of an asshole is somebody who causes unnecessary pain. And here Reggie's being such a grade A asshole. Like you've got your key, you can go take your car. He's arrested Right. So he's already fucked. He's got his own problems. You could laugh at him and walk away, but not Reggie. I just want to point out. Like he could have had his car and been gone and he chose to turn back. To quote unquote fight a man with one arm shackled to a desk.

Speaker 2:

So I just want to like level set.

Speaker 3:

what is happening?

Speaker 2:

It's a little bit of a spoiler, Coach, but thanks.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, we definitely thought that they were going to make up right now. The other thing. I will say one other thing. I find just up against the edge of believability. Reggie would 100% be in jail right now. He punched an officer of the law so hard that he busted his jaw. He would still be being processed. Like if Wayne is still in jail and Calvin is still in jail, reggie is still going to be in jail.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, how did he end up not in jail? Calvin's in jail? Yeah, actually I didn't. You know what? They slipped it right by me. They slipped it right by me, there's some sort of pregnancy joke in there, but.

Speaker 4:

I just talked about Osling B and I don't want to tarnish her reputation so I'm just going to let it go.

Speaker 3:

I love it.

Speaker 2:

I'm just happy that she's happy. That's good. I really like her. Every time you say Osling, it doesn't sound right to me, but I'm sure you know better than I do it is Osling.

Speaker 4:

I think that's what I've heard when they've introduced her.

Speaker 2:

Okay, well, that's probably right then.

Speaker 4:

I should probably double check to make sure I'm.

Speaker 2:

No, I don't know. It just feels like I don't know. It just feels like I don't know.

Speaker 4:

I don't know where I heard a different version. The Irish have the weirdest fucking names.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 4:

Saoirse.

Speaker 2:

That's the series.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, oh, you know what I just? I ended up watching the Tourist which has what's his face? Jamie Dorn from Fifty Shades of. Grey yes which has what's his face? Jamie Dorn, from uh 50 shades of gray, he plays an Irish guy who is in Australia.

Speaker 2:

I saw that. Actually that show yeah. You know I watched the series. Who's in that?

Speaker 4:

Yeah, who's in? Who's in the second season? It's Wayne. Mark McKenna shows up.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I never saw the second season. You know, that's Tim. No, that's not Tim mentionsins, he had another one. No, that's, yeah, the Tourist, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, right. No, I didn't realize that. Anyway, is that right?

Speaker 4:

So yeah, they go to Ireland in the second season and those names are fucked. They have so many consonants and no consonant, sounds it. I don't understand how they would cooperate.

Speaker 2:

It's funny because I was watching a show the other day and I saw the name James Earl and I was like James Earl? And I was like who is that? And it's Officer J Cop of Soup and he's like he was on Grey's Anatomy and he's on Shameless Narcos Insecure.

Speaker 3:

You know I'm like damn so. So those are all legit credits. So I'm gonna feel a little silly here. But I'm watching a um joellen bead commercial and I look at the block, like so it's joellen bead sitting and they're deciding on a hairstyle for Joelle Embiid, and then they try this, try that, try that, and then Juju Watkins why is my brain doing that? The USC women's basketball player is in the next chair, so they end up giving him her signature hairstyle.

Speaker 2:

Juju.

Speaker 3:

Watkins. I look up and I'm like the barber is Officer J. Oh, I got so excited. It was like, see, you know, when we first got out here and you'd see some friend of yours who's an actor, like just you know. Or in New York, you'd see some friend of yours who's playing coffee barista two and you're like, oh my.

Speaker 3:

God that was the way it felt. I jumped up and down like I knew that was like I knew him. I'm like, oh my god, officer jay's in the commercial, yeah no, he's, he's legit, he's done, he's got some good credits.

Speaker 2:

It's so strange to look through and go, okay, what did these guys do? What are these guys? Some, this is all they did. Some people, that was it stopped right at lane.

Speaker 2:

And then the rest of them is you. The rest of their filmography is them. You know hustling for student films and you go. How the hell you know some. It's just it's sort of crazy how all of that plays out. But coach rightly points out that Reggie saunters in after the beauty shot, after clubbing Darren and and boss, will you walk us through what's happening here in the scene?

Speaker 4:

Yeah. So after he turns around and says oh hey, hey Reggie, or the back and forth, he goes over to the desk and picks up.

Speaker 2:

It seems to be like a windup toy of some sort or something like a windup gator mouth or something right.

Speaker 4:

A gate? Yeah, because obviously, why wouldn't you have that? I guess that makes sense some sort or something like a wind-up gator, mouth or something right a gate? Yeah, because obviously why wouldn't you have that? I? Guess that makes sense, of course. Why? Why wouldn't you have that in florida? Um, so he says, hey, you ever watch animal planet. It starts telling a story about how did you know that hyenas don't have any brothers or sisters. Because you know why? Because when they're real small, in the litter, fighting for their mama's titty Gross.

Speaker 2:

Their mama's titty Fighting for their mama's titty.

Speaker 4:

For their mama's titty. Well, you see, the toughest baby, hyena. See, he kills his brothers and sisters.

Speaker 3:

Shouldn't always be he, or there'd be no more hyenas, or there'd be no more hyenas, or there'd be no more hyenas, more titty time for his self. Okay, no, I am glad you reacted, but titty, when a breast is being used, it's just not good.

Speaker 4:

I will exclaim tits in the positive like fuck, yeah, I will. Tits, absolutely. I think that that works also. Titty bar, for some reason I'm totally fine with, but like as an adjective I'm okay, as a noun, no, it doesn't. I don't feel comfortable with that.

Speaker 2:

I thought boobs much better. Encompasses the general.

Speaker 4:

Boobs is great, boobs is just a fun word.

Speaker 3:

Why does boobs sound less? There's something about titty that sounds derogatory and I'm like there's no reason that it's derogatory.

Speaker 2:

It's sharper too. Somehow it is sharper, maybe that's what does it. There's a, yeah, there is a boobness to an actual breath.

Speaker 4:

There's a fullness to the word and then, it's oh yeah, and then there's it feels like, because of the accuracy of it, like there's something about titty that makes it feel like it's trying to be something. It's not. It's weird, I agree, weird. I. I agree with everybody else, yeah, um, I would. I would also like to point out okay, so the reason that reggie is saying all this is uh, now I know you ain't gonna stop coming for my car.

Speaker 2:

Well, this is a little shift and I really like this, like because I was like wait, reggie is able to connect animal planet and the fighting brothers and sisters on animal hyena babies with his real life experience. I was like huh, reggie. And then he gets like more, much more serious when he says now I know you ain't going to start, stop coming from my car. Like my emphasis Right.

Speaker 4:

Well, one of the things that I thought was weird about that is that there was in the beginning a fight over maureen. He said mama, would you cut my meat the way that I like it, like he was trying to prove that he and maureen had a connection, that wayne and maureen did not. But now it's been transferred to the car either because he knows maureen kicked wayne out and so he's not worried about that. Whatever it is, there's still this tension between well, on Reggie's side towards Wayne, but so he says you're never going to stop coming for my car.

Speaker 4:

I would like to briefly mention here what he's saying about hyenas isn't even true. It is true that often hyenas will have only one pup, but that is because childbirth is so dangerous for the hyena mom and the babies that they often die in childbirth. This whole thing about how they fight over the titty for the milk yeah, it's complete bullshit. It's another one of those like alpha wolf bullshit things it's. We see things sometimes, uh, about animals in captivity and then assign it values about how they naturally act, and then we're like, oh well, we should be the alpha male. No, you fucking made that up. You're an asshole and you were trying to say that this is a natural tendency because of some shit. That isn't even true about wolves.

Speaker 3:

So I have to first of all thank you, because I Thank you for being an expert on titty tat.

Speaker 4:

Oh, that's going on my profile. That was quality.

Speaker 3:

That worked. Some jokes work on levels and I was like that got some good. Coach Bishop mimicry, the titty callback, that was pretty good stuff, but it's my own fault. And why did I allow myself to watch Reggie do all these episodes and then take as gospel some assessment he came away from Animal Planet with Like?

Speaker 2:

that's on me. You're curious and not judgmental.

Speaker 3:

That's why you see what I'm saying. I'm like, oh look, reggie knows something. Let's on me, you're curious and not judgmental. That's why you see what I'm saying. I'm like, oh look, reggie knows something, let's all learn.

Speaker 3:

But I bring it up because, right now in particular, I feel like almost like, as far as I'm concerned, like I've never experienced before, there's a whole swath of outright lying. I'm not even talking about, like, the political stuff where we're like whatever, I'm just saying like people putting out fake quotes from some athlete, like the holy, like not misquote, not whatever. Uh, you know, fuck, mother theresa and the Pope. To LeBron James, I'm like what, like, what the fuck? Wait, he said that Exactly and you go. And then, because I'm like, and it's so dastardly because most I don't know, I'll speak about myself If I don't have a sense that there's a reason for you to lie, I don't, my guard isn't as up about the lying Right. So because I'm like, why would like, this must be right, like I just sort of shrug and listen and I'm like, I like I might have repeated it, oh yeah, it's just like the baby hyenas.

Speaker 4:

And I'm like, wow, you have to check everything this is why we should all listen when Winston Churchill said you can't believe everything you see on the internet. Like his, words are.

Speaker 3:

His words are very important. That is that that one is really quality.

Speaker 2:

Okay, it works if you have the presupposition that people know. So my first screenplay that ever sold I was a comedy and on the title pit you just have the title. It's it's it's thought of historically. It's a little different now, but it's not of historically. It's kind of bush league, if you have anything but the title on the front cover. But I put a quote on the front cover. I don't even remember the quote now, but it was something like along the lines of let's get this motherfucking party started, or this isn't my first goddamn motherfucking rodeo or something like that. And then it's attributed to Mahatma Gandhi and it was meant to be so obvious that you laugh before you flip the page.

Speaker 3:

Before you start this we haven't even got, yeah, we have not gotten started and it worked like a.

Speaker 2:

It worked. It was like oh so good and so that was great. That part of it's great. But in the now it's not. And Coach you say that Like oh, there's all these false attributions and it's not. And coach you say that like, oh, there's always false attributions, and that's before.

Speaker 3:

Deep faking is becoming as present and it is I'm, how will you tell I'm? So you'll have people who really did things who just go. Yeah, I was just joking. Locker room talk the and then the other right and then the other side will be. I've never been to Dubai, so I'm pretty sure that's not a video of me fucking a camel. But here we are. It's going to be insane. It's going to be insane.

Speaker 2:

I try to think about all the great things that I wish people who had passed away would have seen. And then for my own death, which is coming down the tracks at any time who knows what's coming. I try to think of things I can't wait to miss, like all the deepfake stuff. So I'll put it in my like a thought locker. I say, okay, if I have things I'll be psyched to miss out on. It's trying to analyze whether or not you know some future political figure. You really did. You know drive a.

Speaker 4:

You know run a bus off a road or something you're like right right this is gonna be so hard to anyway, um I mean, this is like how I am really really sad that I'm not going to be able to find the fake skeletons I've hidden in the walls of my apartment. So when eventually they pull down the building like somebody's going to be freaked out, but I'm very happy that they're not going to find the real skeletons I put in my walls. So that's, that's the flip side.

Speaker 2:

Figure if there's enough skeletons.

Speaker 3:

Balance it out.

Speaker 4:

How are they going to know which ones I killed and which ones are fake? They never will.

Speaker 2:

How do they know which ones I killed and which ones I just put in there, which other people I just dragged in there and said be quiet, I'm going to do like a casket?

Speaker 4:

Montiato on you here. This is going to be so funny. In 20 years you won't believe it. The payoff on this joke is so good.

Speaker 3:

That's really funny. This is quite Poe, though. You're right, and I haven't heard that the cask of, I can't even say what it is Montiado.

Speaker 3:

Montiado yeah, I haven't read. It's weird. I fell in love with Poe one summer. That was like one of our like summer reading lists blah, blah, blah and absolutely like ripped through it and Coach you know, extensive reading with a vague deadline oh God, not something that happened for people like us. Looking back, I'm like, oh my God, summer reading was such a nightmare but that I tore through. I read every short story and like if they'd called my house and said we canceled summer reading, it would not have changed my pace at all. I was so like these stories are amazing. I just remember that feeling and I've promised myself over the years at some point I'm just going to go back and read them as a man. But I was 13 years old or whatever and I just remember going like what?

Speaker 2:

the fuck it is. For so many people Poe has become so accessible. This is Edgar Allan Poe. For friends who are just referencing Poe, it's not the character from Altered Carbon, although that is what he was based on. But Edgar Allan Poe can be the entree into got horror for a lot of, you know, young Americans and I had the same response coach. And then I did go back and read him and I realized, like man, I hate Poe, I hate Poe. Oh, no.

Speaker 4:

I know, I know it is so it's like almost that is not where I put this.

Speaker 3:

No, I know.

Speaker 1:

It's almost sacrilege to say, but I hate how he his sentence construction.

Speaker 2:

I hate how is he? Yeah, no, you would think like oh, I went back like an old love and then I was like oh, god right how did we ever date right like this is?

Speaker 2:

terrible. Um, no, the stories are great, it's just how he does it. Sometimes I go, oh my god, um, but yeah, no, it's uh. But it is, it's, it's, it, it's uh, the oeuvre to to another world. If you have not um experienced it before. And so it is. It's great stuff. And and that has spawned, you know the, the popularity of his work has spawned I don't even know millions of pages of of. You know other similar work, okay. So, speaking of horror, wayne is chained to a desk and Reggie has a different look, a not-so-funny Reggie comedic look on his face. I know you ain't going to stop coming from my car, so I'm going to have to make you stop.

Speaker 3:

Not necessarily what you want to hear, when one of your hands is absolutely of no use to you Not just one of your hands, but also you can't move. Yeah, no. Like he's chained to a desk. This is not great.

Speaker 2:

It's a handcuff but there's a chain and it's not a standard length handcuff for those who just listen to us and don't watch you cheap bastards. Just watch the God damn. What do I have to do? How many breakdowns Will you knock it off? You don't have to watch, that's fine. Coach is defending all the sweet, wonderful buttercups. We love you very much, thank you.

Speaker 3:

They came in, danny Rojas, I just want them to wash.

Speaker 2:

All right anyway. So the visual medium, um but um. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

No, it's not a standard length handcuff, it's like a, it's like a manacle somehow or something, it's like like, yeah, like the shackles, like when you see like a prison movie, when they're moving people from one place to the other, and they're like yeah, 18 to 24 inch of length.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, um, uh. He says I gotta make sure you don't come back. And then to continue the the um, the allegory that we love so much, what does he say here, coach?

Speaker 4:

make sure you don't come back for that today oh you know, I don't I don't hate it with the Dave Chappelle impression that I don't hate as much After I said it.

Speaker 3:

I was like, wait, that's from us. And I thought it it's so funny that you caught that, because I was like where did that come from? I was like, oh, that's Chappelle, oh it's Chappelle there it is.

Speaker 4:

And Wayne says what here, boss I?

Speaker 2:

don't care about the car, no more. Yeah, he's like just nonplussed. I don't care about the car, no more. He says bullshit. Wayne says I don't, you can have it. And what does Reggie say here? Let's finish this with. Coach you are appropriately Reggie, and Boss you are Wayne.

Speaker 3:

Are you trying to reverse my psychology, psychologology, my psychology, because I ain't buying.

Speaker 4:

At this point. Wayne just starts getting his ass hit.

Speaker 2:

Wayne's line is getting this is sparted in the chest by Reggie's gilded sneaker. Yeah, I'm glad we assigned roles for that. That was good.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I'm very very glad the woman on the podcast gets kicked in the chest.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, my latent misogyny can't even survive that role play. Come on, all right. So Reggie saysgie says mother, fuck you. And he just starts hammering wayne in the chest, which is you know, we, we're predisposed to find uh, headshots, uh, you know the ones that do damage. But coach, as a boxer, tell us about body shots. I've alluded to this before, but they.

Speaker 3:

They steal your entire soul, like you might get knocked out from a headshot. But a body shot will make you feel like your soul has left your body, like it's unbelievable, like I can't breathe or move. I'm not even sure what's happening right now, like why does my body feel like this? Yeah, it's awful. So that kick to the chest. You ever crack a rib coach?

Speaker 2:

do you ever crack anything where where you miss breathing hard?

Speaker 3:

I know what you mean. Yeah, no, no. But I haven't, I haven't had that experience, but I've, I've had people around me in that condition and and quite literally, like a chuckle can like oh no, it's bad, it's it's bad. Yeah, it's really bad, like a chuckle, like, not a laugh, just like a. And they like just when I was a baby I had three broken ribs or cracked.

Speaker 2:

They didn't weren't fully broken, but they were cracked and the story was, uh, that my mom loved me so much she was hugging me too tightly, so we're gonna just leave that there. Folks, I don't know, I I have no way to refute it. She is kind of crazy in that way where I could see her being like I really could see that if you meet her you'd be like, oh yeah, obviously uh, but you know, you never know, could it could have been, uh, what? Why does a baby have a fucking hammer? I don't, you know, I don't know, um, so I love meeting people's moms.

Speaker 3:

It's like reading instruction manuals to why they're nuts exactly right, exactly, you're darn tootin um.

Speaker 2:

So where's ready? Starts kicking motherfucker, and uh there's. I don't know what you do to really turn the tide, you know. So, wayne slides some shit off the table, like a like a whole comic books and some manila folders. Uh, was that conan on the top? It was conan yeah, it was conan the barbarian.

Speaker 2:

Yes, we had what's so funny sorry uh because of conan, but no no, uh, yeah, conan and and we remember that because um Geller referenced it he said you're not that barbarian you aspire to be, or you think you are. And so he slides this stuff and Reggie dunce that he is, steps on it and kind of pirouettes back to another desk and what the fuck? And he's like I, I'm gonna fucking kill you. And then wayne is trying to like slide his chair away on the corner of the desk and reggie oh man, he is a tactician, is he not? He runs to the desk where wayne had slid the manila file folders and he swipes everything off the desk. So that wayne is is now neutered tactically, right, he has no more. There's no more comic books to throw on the floor.

Speaker 2:

No proverbial banana peels for for dumb ass Reggie to step on, and then he climbs on top of the desk and now he's kicking from top of the desk in the face. So yeah, he, he is that barbarian in the face. So yeah, he is that barbarian.

Speaker 3:

That just struck me.

Speaker 4:

Yes, yeah, because he doesn't have the same code.

Speaker 3:

He doesn't have the code that Wayne does.

Speaker 4:

This isn't because he needs to make sure that Wayne is neutralized as a threat to other people. It's just that he doesn't want him coming for his fucking car, which does that mean he's planning to kill Wayne, Like? Is that where we're eventually ending up?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, and I quote I'm gonna fucking kill you.

Speaker 4:

I mean he did say it. He did say it. I mean, he might. Maybe he's a barbarian, but he might be a man of his word.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we'll see, coach. That's the type of point that if boss had made it, you would have been like, oh, let me count the ways I love you and. But boss does not reciprocate, because she just takes it in stride. She's like, yes, I assume people around me should be intelligent, that's fine. No, no credit, you're not gonna. Not gonna even throw anything. I'm not gonna throw like a slight applause for coach.

Speaker 4:

I yes and him. What better? What better praise than yes-and him?

Speaker 2:

It's just not symmetrical, that's all I'm saying. So, reggie's.

Speaker 3:

I love it. I'm just sitting here like I don't even really know what we're discussing.

Speaker 2:

Your feelings are hurt. Your feelings are hurt.

Speaker 3:

So say hi, so say we all Yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 4:

I wanted to shout.

Speaker 2:

Why are you blushing? You're adorable boss. Why are you blushing right now, coach? You see that? Because I was laughing so hard.

Speaker 4:

I was laughing so hard at the thing that I thought and I was like, do I say it or not? You said it's not symmetrical.

Speaker 2:

And I wanted to shout neither are my boobs, but they're still pretty good and I decided not to. But then we had to revisit. See, coach is clapping. See how that works.

Speaker 4:

God damn narcissist are you a boob narcissist? The whole episode has been about twins. I was going to have to make another boob narcissist. The whole episode has been about twins. I was going to have to make another boob joke at some point. I was going to have to.

Speaker 2:

So Reggie is kicking away at Wayne, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, and we just see him Boom. This is really good editing, because as he takes a reaction shot, his body recoils and it's a you know if there's a lot of movement. And in that match on action, blur, right, what'd you say coach? Match on action? Yeah, right, exactly, you match on action. And you have wayne's head goes back and then we do a cut, hard cut, to um butthole tommy cole's head coming up, orlando's in the background and Orlando's covering his mouth. He's horrified, can't take his eyes off it, which I love. That type of scenario it's always funny, especially visually. And what does a sort of de facto surgeon, butthole Tommy Cole, yell here, coach?

Speaker 3:

I need a knife to cut the cords.

Speaker 2:

Orlando says he's going to faint and I swear to God, this is child abuse, man.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, that was an LOL, that was a for real one.

Speaker 2:

I swear to God, this is child abuse man, like watching a dog give birth. Oh, hold on a sec. Hold on. That's my alarms. Tell me what to do every day. Adhd um, that's pretty good child abuse man. And then um boss, what does um the lovely, uh, maureen? Um?

Speaker 4:

uh, she, digging through her drawers, says shit okay, shit okay, well, okay, if you gotta use these, then I'm gonna have to throw them away. And then I got them off an infomercial, so I don't know if they're available. No more, because she's still pissed off about people ruining all of her stuff.

Speaker 3:

Her nice things, like her infomercial knives.

Speaker 4:

And her towels, that she had to fight a Puerto Rican lady and her daughter, I mean it's really quite something Her cherished belongings she's walking us through.

Speaker 3:

It's pretty fascinating.

Speaker 2:

I just think you guys, you're just predisposed to not give Maureen any credit, but she has given up a tremendous amount in this scene.

Speaker 4:

See now, I know that you're full of shit on that.

Speaker 3:

That's really funny.

Speaker 3:

See, now I know and, and, and though I think you know it is ridiculous and that's why we laugh, but also it really is for her. Like I, only like I made a decision to buy these knives. I was up one night in this miserable house, next to this miserable dude, with this idiot next door who listens to the squeaking of our bed springs, and I saw these knives and thought, well, those are nice, at least Like. This is all this woman has. So it is ridiculous in its own way, but also it makes me go like man. She's got her little bad pottery bowl. I mean, she's just trying to make her better Costco wine, she's just trying to make the best of this shit.

Speaker 2:

Now, listen, I'm going to throw in a little pop psychology here, because I've been Maureen in certain cases not with specifically these items and not fighting off Puerto Rican mothers and daughters. But there is an element to some of us where, if the present doesn't seem all that bright, stashing away a set of knights for future use can provide you something to look forward to, and it can be like a method of like I'll open these when things get better, or I'll open these when whatever and I and I prone to do that sometimes I'll be like I'm going to stash this away, I don't need it right now. But you know, once I do this or once this, this arbitrary mile marker of life that I've decided has merit, out of nowhere comes to pass and and for so for Maureen, they represent the future for her. Granted, they have value in the now because of the past, but what they represent is the she will get to open those when life is better or whenever she will decide what that demarcation line is, but when you hold on to things like that.

Speaker 2:

She had to fight the blankets, but notice, reggie wasn't using, she didn't serve steak dinner to Calvin with those knives she had. There was something she was waiting on. Sometimes they say oh, we'll save her a special occasion, um, a, la, um, keely and roy, and and and we yeah, we touched on this a little bit campaign where it's like this is a fucking, you just got backed by ceo, you're gonna have your own outfit.

Speaker 2:

Like this is the, this is that occasion. And by a ceo, you're gonna have your own outfit. Like this is the, this is that occasion. And sometimes it's easier for someone else to say that rather than you. If, if you're saving it for something that you feel like it is hinges upon deserving it, and also you have a low self-esteem, so you may never get to, do you see? Do you see what I'm saying? So, so, so that's why it may be more of a, it may be more of a hurdle than we might. We, we laugh about it, but it does have value for Maureen, and boss doesn't care, she doesn't care.

Speaker 4:

No no, no, no no.

Speaker 2:

There is some reason she's holding on.

Speaker 4:

No, no, no, no. And I understand. It's not that I don't understand her reasoning, it is. I might have mentioned this before, but one of my older sister's favorite lines from A Wrinkle in Time is when. What's his face? God damn it. Charles Wallace, is that the kid? I can't remember all the names. It's been a while.

Speaker 4:

But he's. He says, mom, can I use these tomatoes to make a sandwich for Meg? And the mom says to what better use could they be put? And that is sort of when you have something good and nice, when there is something that you care about, the best thing you could do with it is spend it on somebody you love or use it for somebody you love. I understand she doesn't love butthole Tommy Cole. She just met Orlando. She doesn't know this fucking dog. I get all of that. But what she is saying is I don't want to give up this thing that I like for other people, even though they need it right now. I want to keep it for myself. And so it's not that she has a thing that she cares about. It's not even that she has a thing that she cares about. That's from an infomercial. I'm not judging what she has. I'm saying, when it comes down to it, her instinct is to be selfish rather than to share, and that's what I'm judging her for.

Speaker 3:

You know what? I know? Coach is going to think I'm just saying this because boss said it, but I think I'm in.

Speaker 2:

I think I'm in. Yeah, we don't know. That's great boss, we we don't know the. I just finished reading the? Um, it's called a life's work. It was by david milch, who was the creator of deadwood um, a show called luck uh, nypd blue like a prolific uh hollywood, uh television writer and he talks about it. Oh god, such a sad book. He wrote it as at the end of his life. He's still alive, but he's got, he has alzheimer's, and so he started writing before he forgot everything. Um, and that part's hard to hear. But he grew up a child of a degenerate gambler. Uh, his dad was a, was a surgeon who, um, the mob would pay to take bullets out of people and stuff like that, whatever. So he grew up with this very messed up relationship with his dad and then he was. He went to Yale, you know, like all degenerates. Coach, where did you go again? Sorry, refresh my anyway.

Speaker 3:

I went to school in New Haven.

Speaker 2:

He's like one of these guys that he would tell you you start the book and there's these stories about oh yeah, then me and my buddy went out and we shot up some street lamps and then we did heroin and you know that was a good year, I was 15. I'm like Jesus fucking. I'm like what in the hell? And then then the next sentence is like then I went to Yale and I won there. I placed the highest on any on this exam that anyone's ever taken it. Yet I'm like in the history of yale. And so you're like, oh my god, like what am I dealing with here? You know what I mean. Like how, yeah, that's a lot.

Speaker 2:

And he would this one of my favorite parts of the book. I I think people should read it. It's, it's, it's, it's a. It's not for the faint of heart, uh, but great insights into a lot of the shows that people might love. Like, for example, I didn't know Deadwood came out of. He wanted to write something about St Paul the apostle and then there was no place to do that. And then they said at HBO they said what if you took like the kernel of that idea and then married it to like a Western, he's like okay, and then he did that. So anyway, just this, I know boss is shaking her.

Speaker 4:

You boss, I think you really liked edward right, isn't that?

Speaker 2:

did you like? Oh no, I, I I liked it. I didn't love it okay all right, got it I.

Speaker 3:

I liked it a lot. I mean, I don't know that it's like in my it's not in my a tier, but it's, it was. It was really excellent. And for years um daphne and I were known to say hey, mister, are you dead?

Speaker 2:

oh yeah, yes, classic, just like a classic moment, but anyway well, this guy talks about, uh, being a gambler and played the horses and and, and, and and like. When I say played the horses, like he's he. He quotes at some point he made 100 million dollars in his career and hasn't had nothing to show for it. Um, and when his you know, house in the vineyard and house in la and and, uh, his wife got a call saying, oh, you're 23 million in debt. Uh, or no, $17 million in debt, and that your husband spent $23 million at the track in the last two years.

Speaker 2:

And so he was saying he does this thing and he can't help it, where he owns the self-loathing and he owns the disgust in his own personality and whatever, but he talks about how he has to bet it all and he's compelled to do it. Because if talks about how he has to bet it all and he's compelled to do it because if he win no, if he loses he doesn't feel a thing. But if he wins, for an hour and a half he has this feeling where he has extra money to give to other people and how much, how much he wants to like pay for other people's scholarships and pay for people to do it, and like how much he loves giving, because it defrays his own feeling of what a piece of shit it's like fascinating.

Speaker 2:

So really, god damn so. So again, we don't always know why people do the things they do. We don't always know. You know it's hard, to hard to localize on exactly why maureen wants to keep these knives or whatever. But anyway, different things mean different people are different Coach, to quote a famous soccer coach. And so when Butthole Tommy Cole asks for knives and she's hesitant, he yells what boss.

Speaker 4:

I'll buy you a better set, because they're not that great.

Speaker 2:

This is really not. It's infomercial cutlery. It's not the top of the food chain, it's not Henkel's, and she responds with what it's like yelling.

Speaker 3:

These are my good tube socks, it's like. What does that mean?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it might as well be yeah.

Speaker 3:

What yeah?

Speaker 2:

So everybody on cue, everybody's ruining all my nice things, everybody's ruining all my nice things. Wow, yeah, yeah, um and then um. What does orlando say here, boss?

Speaker 4:

is that puppy head coming out of that dog's ass?

Speaker 3:

right um uh, which there was a lot of laughter here for me. Like, like I kind of felt a little guilty, like I was like this is not a bunch of laughter here for me. Like I kind of felt a little guilty, like I was like this is not a fun show. This is supposed to be quite as funny as I am finding it, but I really cracked up through a lot of this scene.

Speaker 2:

Butthole. Tommy Cole tears the knives out of Maureen's hands and smashes them. He smashes them open and smashes them, smashes them open. He goes through the protective outer film to smash into the knives and break them open quickly. Orlando asks if that's a puppy's head coming out of a dog's ass.

Speaker 3:

Maureen says what, coach? It's not a dog's ass, that's a Pussy.

Speaker 4:

Ass.

Speaker 3:

Bitch, there we go.

Speaker 2:

We cut back to that's not a dog's ass, that's a. And we cut back to action again, and it is On every utterance of what Boss just said. There is the explosive kick to Wayne's face, which, I'm guessing you know, not ideal for Wayne.

Speaker 3:

No, I mean, the man can take a shot, we've established that. But that angle of somebody really kicking you with all their force from up above, sweet jeez, that is serious stuff.

Speaker 2:

Reggie is yelling I'm gonna fucking kill you, motherfucker. We get enough of a glimpse there's a lot of action. We get enough of a glimpse of Wayne's nose to see he is bleeding. He is bleeding. And then talk about fortuitous editing. We get a shot, an insert here, and we push into a medal and it is a trophy Sorry, not a metal, um, and there's a trophy which is looks to me like a block of, I'm gonna say, oak or maple, like a solid block. It's a four by four. Yeah, that is cut and trimmed enough to hold a metal plaque. The metal plaque, uh, has this. There's a. There's also a badge, police of the city of Ocala on it. You know like hastily glued on badge, you know like a glue gun, but there's a plaque on the front, one of the standard gold old school plaques, which reads what boss?

Speaker 4:

Non-violence leads to the highest ethics.

Speaker 3:

Another laugh line for me yeah, non-violence leads to the highest ethics.

Speaker 2:

Another laugh line for me yeah, non-violence is the high. And why are we pushing into this? Well, pray tell, coach. We see this. And then what happens?

Speaker 3:

and then, um, mr crafty, uh wayne grabs said non-violence award and shoves it right into Reggie's man region. Reggie then doubles over and falls back off of the desk, as one absolutely would in that moment. I mean, in fairness to Reggie, that's some serious stuff. This is not a. There's a point in my life I reached where I've said this to a few people before where I was like, if we fight, we're fighting to the death. Like I'm old now, like I'm not here to like throw a couple punches with you and then go on with my day, like if I've made the decision to fight and this feels like a bit old man-ish to me. The level of neither of us is going to stop. There's no end to this fight, other than someone is done Like for good. That's pretty intense.

Speaker 2:

So, all right, let's get through the action, because we have a limited amount of time and I want to get to a certain point. No, coach, you're totally fine. I love that to a certain point. No, coach, you're totally fine. I love that. Reggie goes down. Wayne starts panicking. Reggie yells motherfuckers, he's holding his family jewels. Wayne in a panic.

Speaker 2:

We get an insert of an ashtray no ashes in it, but it's holding some keys. Wayne starts trying the different keys. He's trying to figure them out as Reggie gets up. Wayne can't. They're clearly not for the handcuffs. Wayne uses the key.

Speaker 2:

This is the old type of desk. These are the metal desks that you may have seen. People still have them in certain businesses, but they're very rare these days. But they have a key slot to lock the stack of drawers. Wayne is able to get the key in and we have only a shot. We see him sort of like fidgeting with the key as fast as he can and we only have enough of a view of Reggie's back.

Speaker 2:

We don't see what's happening with Wayne. It's Reggie in a single and as he turns we hear a thud and wayne is standing there and now he's up and we. That's all we see. We get a medium shot, which is which is, uh, you know, his upper half of his torso and and his face. He's got a cut open face, blood all over his face, but other than that, he looks very serene. This is not the panic we just saw, with him unlocking the, the cuffs or whatever he was trying to do, or the, or the desk is over. And what? What happens here, boss? What is the reveal? As we push into a very calm way?

Speaker 4:

Oh, as we pull back and watch as he just drops the drawer, still connected to the handcuffs on his wrist, and it's cut from three different angles. So it's boom, boom, boom and we see him standing, much like he did with the cans of beer. We know what he can do with this Just drops it.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Cans of beer and what else we're supposed to think of that. Right Cans of beer. And what was the other thing he did with this? Do you remember? You remember the garden gnome hanging by a chain? Oh, yes. Right.

Speaker 4:

Okay, this is listen.

Speaker 2:

So it's sort of his thing.

Speaker 4:

I don't want to. I don't want to make this weird. I just want to point out that Mark McKenna himself, when this was filmed, was a fully grown man. So the immediate and excessive attraction that I had to this scene happening exactly the way that it did, like the very cool, calm, collected Wayne, just like ready to throw the hammer. I, I'm done. Did you feel it in your titties?

Speaker 2:

is my question ready to throw the hammer? I'm done.

Speaker 4:

Did you feel it in your titties?

Speaker 2:

is my question, kind of is my answer and I don't think anybody wanted to hear that, but yes, wow, I got coached. That's all I care about.

Speaker 3:

Things you could, Things I never thought I would hear in my life. Like you said like hey, Coach Bishop, if you record until you're 100, will you ever hear Coach Castleton say to boss did you feel it in your titties? I can promise you, I lose that bet. Wow, that was. You all can't see, but I just laughed so hard that my headphone just came flying off. I was just a total wreck. That was amazing.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, oh God, it's an all new low folks, thanks for oh God.

Speaker 3:

My.

Speaker 2:

God, yeah, well, it's an all-new low folks. Thanks for being here with us for that, With Wayne, suitably armored now, or suitably weaponized weapon. Suitably Armed, armed, thank you, that's exactly what I was going for suitably armed. I'm going to stop here because, uh, today has to be a limited time. Uh, I, I have uh, uh, my daughter's in her last day of school and so, um, there are uh responsibilities where I guess you have to pick up your kids from school. Eye roll, but yeah, no, so we're gonna have to Cut it off a little early today, but we'll pick it up With a. It's fair and square now, boss, that's all I'm saying. Remember, we were talking about symmetry. So now there is, there is at least, you know, one of them is Relatively untethered and the other one Is Is getting up from a Bad nut shot.

Speaker 4:

The other one is getting up from a bad nut shot.

Speaker 2:

The other one is what?

Speaker 4:

Reggie, it's like an automatic. He's at a disadvantage.

Speaker 2:

Or is he? I love Coach saying he's a proverbial barbarian and I love that we have enough data on Reggie that we're like, yeah, this is a fair fight. Even though we know how tough Wayne is, this doesn't feel like it's mismatched somehow. It's interesting to see how this whole thing plays out for people who have seen the show. You know this, this it. It even goes away. You don't expect when you watch it, but wait for those of you who just listen along Ooh, are you in for a treat? Uh, coach, where do people find you if they want to find you?

Speaker 3:

come through the community. We have been having some more conversation. I actually had the fun uh experience of having, uh, my bestie. As everyone knows, I am a member of the Chambers family now, and so my bestie did hit me up for some inside dope on the Kendrick Drake beef. So that was a fun aside. But yeah, all sorts of great conversations happening and, no, this is a lot of fun.

Speaker 2:

So come through and join in we have also begun to have uh special, uh recordings that are only for the buttercups. Um, that's not to penalize anyone else, that's just because, uh, they're, they're topical and um, we want to uh give the people that that really come through and support us. Uh means the world to, and the more we can do for them, the better. So please consider joining Boss. Where do people find you if they want to find you?

Speaker 4:

You can mostly find me on threads picking fights and generally being an asshole. That is emilychambers.31. Trying to get back into the community I have been absent and I need to rectify that and also then eventually writing for the Antagonist, which is antagonistblogcom. Read it right now. It's really good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's great. And, boss, on Threads, we finally agreed on something which was nice this week. My best friend's wedding who it actually should have been about. That was good. I'm 100% with you. First time ever. Okay, well, that's it, folks. Thank you very much for listening to us. We'll be back. I thought we were going to finish winning today, but then one of us had to go and have a million children, so look at how that turned out.

Speaker 3:

I've already apologized For those of you who aren't initiated. That was my wife Daphne's response to the announcement of the last pregnancy in the Thor Banander story. Yeah. That is one baby-making fool. That's it which I still laugh about every couple months.
