Yeah, those were cool They're bad convenience there. I'm not sure what they are yet.

They're still self-parkers are doing those long Cross-episode across season stories and so far. It's you know Turn sandwich versus douche. Yeah again And it's trolls internet trolls currently Kyle's dad is an internet troll named Something 42 or something. Yeah, it's on the 42.

What is it? It's like a shit 42 or something stupid like that And all he's doing he started off with just trolling the elementary school bullet board Posting pictures of people's moms with the mouse. Yeah Oh, yeah, but now he's going on to the entire internet and he got really motivated because he made CNN when he went after a Cancer survivor Swedish Olympic medalist Who went on the TV shows and all that saying how she was gonna be a victim of troll online trolling and then she killed herself So now he's all motivated to like keep doing it. It's it's weird But the girls in the school think that the internet troll is cartman Of course and the boys did too the boys took cartman out into the woods under the illusion They were going to stands uncles cabin in the woods.

Right play Call of Duty And the whole thing So far Yeah Because the girls don't realize it's not carbon the boys do though and Oh and carbon made friends with with the girl who Destroyed her Twitter account because she was tired of online bullying No, it wasn't when he was some random girl had a character before this But yeah, it was treated like she committed suicide It really like when they talked about her the way they're like oh my god She did it she didn't you know she was standing on a cold bridge in like a snowy bridge And you know cold that you stand on the edge of a bridge and she's typing on her phone and then they pan down here a splash Well, and I was her quitting Twitter And the next day was all like she'll be missed she'll miss these tweets and other kids in school was like I'm gonna do it I'm gonna quit Twitter and the mr. Mackey. Yeah, I'm gonna talk about it all time Like no, don't do it. Don't do it.

Don't do it. You're from which of parents think if you quit Twitter. No, Jesus. I've watched South Park in Years, it's it's pretty funny so far.

I know it's a trunk versus Hillary. It's mr. Garrison versus Hillary and mr. Garrison's running me is The trouble no the transvestite in her life.

Oh Yeah, the former Olympia Yes, there's anything up right now, but whatever everybody knows we're talking about yes Kardashian, but not Kardashian Oh my god, you know the name whatever. Yeah, that's his running mate It's Christine's on a Chris Jenner. Yes, it's a Jenner, but What's her name now? He changed his name to another K name?

No, I don't know. It doesn't matter. I like command for half people We're all thinking about getting a guy in a one thing one so According to the tree rags anyone You know the magazine right I mean the yeah, but not like an actual personal like the star Yeah, the shit you see in the in the grocery line It's it's Chris. It's not Chris Jenner.

No Chris is the is the wife Chris is the mom Was the mom she's the one oh? It was it was the man that became a woman. Yeah. Yeah, I guess technically Chris is one of the mom now Although technically only the two youngest are his daughters.

Yes, the other three are I can't record ashe the lawyer Kardashian's kids actual kids. Yeah, who's dead? Yeah, so moving on to something more important like I don't know comic books and cartoons and something good Shield oh, you look yeah, you're looking my lips I know the other person that watches agents of shield not you're not alone. No, I watch it too It's just not my it's not one of the top priorities.

I like it It's just not the priority like I have six things a watch it's gonna be the last yeah, no, I completely agree Which led me to a thing I took off of from last week where I have stranger things on my computer I will eventually watch it. I know I know I know But the new agents of shield I seen goes writer. Well, you seem in the first episode. Yeah, I watch the first episode I've seen the second episode What do you think there?

Their way of introducing magic into this is really clunky where basically quake or daisy, right? Whatever you want to color Both names applying the comics Daisy Traks down is it Robbie Reyes? I guess it's the name of the that's the that's the go I'm a little irritated That's that ghost writer like Because to me ghost writer is like he tries a flaming motorcycle like it is Danny catch from the 90s Which will get the 90s comic stuff in a bit and we will Or Johnny Blaze. I mean it is like the flaming cyclist like right very much is so in the comics Help that the current ghost writer is right grace.

No, it's the girl. It's yeah I thought they got rid of growing gone back to Robbie I thought they got rid Robbie Reyes. What is a flaming like was it Mustang or Challenger or some some some yeah Yeah, very muscle car very muscle very masculine whereas I consider you know motorcycles could be very not feminine, but not okay I'm an argument against myself I'm not a fan of the like flaming charger. Okay.

I am a fan of how he looks He did a good job with that. I don't want to give this movie anymore credit than it should But when they did a ghost writer acts of vengeance It's very good. Thank you The thing in the comics that was in the 80s, but this bird of vengeance. He looked really fucking good I'm sorry.

They made the ghost writer look really good outside of the like I'm passing napalm. Yeah, um But the ghost writer himself looking really good He looks just as good in this. I like the crack skull. I like I like the light tires I like that he's like she flames off of the um engine walk.

Yeah, there's a Thing you call that like the blowers or something. Yeah, I'm seeing not a car guy. I think it's blower nor my ghost writer guy so I've not having read any of the Robbie Reyes stuff. I was a little itchy on the first episode I'm more okay with it on the second episode.

Okay The fact that I can like light almost anything he holds with like hellfire Yeah, I'm like all right, right. I gotta be a chain which would be ghost writer ask It's a wrench. It's a whatever. It was a metaphor.

They ripped off the car in the second episode But it's very one thing very interesting that they're choosing ghost writer as the way to introduce magic into Agents of shield where you're using dr. Strange for some acting to do it in the semantic universe, which is the same universe Yeah, so they do try to avoid crossovers. I think I should do it intentionally at this point like kind of they almost have to I mean Still does well. No, they don't they've made it not they've made a choice to do it There's ways to bring the two together.

There's ways to bring Daredevil and Punisher and Jessica Jones into his shield There's ways to bring him all I agree the movie universe They just won't and I really wonder if it's like a pissing contest between movies TV Netflix and movies Yeah, which I hope it's not the case, but that is the impression I get no, yeah, I completely agree Yeah, so Robbie Reyes You've a little bit I remember from them from him was he was very much a family man He's he's driven by his brother taking didn't care of his like a paraplegic brother or something which they've introduced in the show And there was and that's something how he ended up becoming the ghost writer in the comics was through that But he's not So so he's different than Charlie Blaze whereas he was possessed by a demon right well, he's a little right to sell to save his dad I mean, this is different and and then he catch was I think what's a Benj's Dad or a sister, okay, right? Well you get into the the kingdom one get the Zarathos or mythology stuff right and that's what it is It's different from the demons like this one that Robbie has is was pretending to be the same one that did I think it's Zarathos I honestly think it's it's the evil entity. That sounds right. I don't know the name of the demon, but it sounds right Yeah, so and he was mainly driven by his brother and he had like more control over it He wasn't Danny catchy did eventually yes, okay once he got like the whole like Family relation with him and the the the the Knoebel stuff like it became I was yeah, it was Comblew let's just say that this one is very kind of clear cut where at one point on the new episode spoilers Beginning the episode obviously that quake Daisy comes tracks down Robbie Reyes And says like you're enhanced you're an enemy and he goes no I'm something different and she's like Yeah, but you're still enhanced and he's like yeah, but I'm really not like you don't understand what's going on here Because she's like oh did you sell your soul and he's like yep to the devil and she goes what yeah, it's like a motor disconnect Where I'm like they have no idea of magic and that's the thing with I think it's gonna be the theme of the episode the season We're gonna get to the the ghost and the dark hold Oh, I think it's me more the theme of the scene is probably gonna be a more family And I think that's why they pick Robbie the team that trusts together trimes together sure I think that's what you know, because they're trying to get her back into the fold so to speak It's gonna be a family thing she doesn't trust them because she was trade by her family blah blah blah and then also Like I pick Robbie Reyes to be the ghost writer instead of one of the ones that are more like no like John Right because he is such a family character not a not a loner than a vengeance kind of thing Yeah, and now I have to watch my language The swear jar should be very full Yes, I do You're not getting your imaginary You can buy more shoots and letters that's about as far as a fucking ghost Wait, I shoot some letters, but I never even play shoots and letters Yeah, you can you can you can buy you can buy you can buy boardwalk with my yes, there we go monopoly That's true But the Almost podcasters of America should be a charity that we start with with the swear jar money I'll see what I can do about getting that up and Anyway I like that I really like the way to go straight up every now in the flames look kind of cheesy It's a little long-gated like it just the effects But I thought goes for a look good I mean I think and the more to think about the the better it is to have ghost writer be the introduction to magic Into agents of shield than anything else if they're not gonna fight Dormam we were anything like you're not gonna have a Series wide like mystical element with something like that, but something like Zardeth those they won't get into the nevel cane stuff Which is fine, but I think like you know like having him like sold a soul of the devil and there's something you can't quantify I guess you see that with Fitz and Simmons with the ghost boxes Which was a thing on more analysis run on that sunshine X-Men, but There's something you can't quantify Well and then Max says like maybe she's a ghost yeah, and they go well that's a theory it's like well yeah that is actually sorry Well and you get into like it's the Thor being and not gods and Still angry about that don't give me But I think I was marveled we have not trying to piss off the Catholic Church and the Muslims and everyone else like he's not a god He's just an alien he's an Asgardian yes Not a god, but yeah, I've really I don't want to get into this but I've recently watched a lot of the older Marvel movies I'm in a little like Avengers one where they well actually watch Avengers two Where Clint they go back to the farmhouse.

Yeah, and Linda carlyne the wife. Yep, which by way freaking geeks Yes, but missed missed opportunity miss carlyne Hawkeye has a thing with mockingbird. It's being played by what's her name? Pilecki agents of shield so like but now Hawkeye's female The one from the young Avengers no, there's two Hawkeyes one is currently in jail because he killed the Hulk Yeah, he told her spinner was it about with a narrow design by banner to kill him to And there's a female Hawkeye young one from young Avengers.

I think so. Yes. Yes. She has her own book now She's nice.

She's got the heart where to go Kate Bishop like I'm happy for a fictional Yeah, we will jump on to jump to see if Scott looks for a second just go back Absolutely going that direction The Civil War two yeah, okay The whole premise is that one of the humans has this foresight ability yes, and one wants to use it to For either and one says don't don't do it It's Marvel wants to use it to prevent crimes from happening and Iron Man wants to prevent What wants it to be more free choice? Yes, it's not no one knows yet This is a which is weird because finally Iron Man on the side of a civil war. I agree Hopefully he learned his lesson from the first of all he was kind of a dick he was kind of a dick Yeah, we're putting his head of first Okay, I find council put more imaginary money in the imaginary 501 c but yes that one says like should we stop future? crying versus just let it happen and It's reactive versus proactive and that was the original civil well that wasn't the original civil war but It's very similar very similar.

So now apparently the one of the latest books The in humans has sight again and this time it's spider-man who's currently Morales Standing over like holding up a cat that America was a shirt and get the America's basically dead Because he's got a big thing shut there's just that looks like America's that Oh, she Rogers yeah, well can use one cat America and there's Steve Rogers and there's Captain Steve Rogers. Yes. Yes, who is a member of hydro But it's actually not because he's being my control by his original memories Are placed by the cosmic cube by red skull which is now personified who was told to do it by the red skull So he thinks his member of hydro because hi welcome to comics. Yeah, can we get it is?

No, this is the regular universe no this is 616 This is prime universe main universe Except for my roots Morales. He came out of the ultimate Well, he considered main universe now because that was the whole secret worst thing. Yeah, good lord. So anyway, um Parker and all this he's around around he's around I love that he's around well, he's married Mary Jane He has a kid.

Oh my god is a Wally West of a victim did that whole number 52, but like when what was before in 52? Infant crisis Wally West of Infant crisis that's pretty much Really liking it. It's been basically dominating the top 10 comics sold every month Well Batman had a little thing with Robin. I think we talked about that last time you never actually recording whoa Oh, did I wait?

Maybe I didn't I know we talked about some of it. Let's get through the Marvel stuff We'll jump to the Marvel stuff that's so much that civil war is going on The X-Men aren't really involved in it looks like well actually weren't involved in the first of a war No, they got stuck into Avengers vs X-Men That was like the VX which was a war fucking red skull. Let's kill the Nazi motherfucker. Yeah Anyway, yeah DC the whole rebirth thing's going on and Batman is Batman again Bruce Wayne's Batman again, so no robotic Jim Gordon No, I like the idea now I like the Interesting for a minute kind of like the whole idea of a copying Batman Street gang of Robins that were crowdsourcing their intelligence Are they stole my idea of okay?

I'm not gonna say it so now now Robin is red Robin and They think which Robin So that means like wing Batwoman is batwoman Batman has come back the lesbian cat can or whatever Yes, yeah, so when Bruce Wayne came back to Batman he Something's different about my camera He just forgot his job He's welcoming he like he basically pulled together the bat family That's what I'm saying like it's working though And then that woman's father Had an army of drones like little literal flying drones That were target much like a civil war we're targeting civilians who possibly could do crimes Okay, and Tim Drake hack all the drones and control them for a minute and game that redirect them all at him Okay, so all these drones are coming down. There's a big explosion and Tim Drake appears be dead Hmm. I like to drink what they showed Is that someone and it's still looking like it's dr. Manhattan and as Mandy us?

Oh? Is that Vendius like in something? I know what it's looking like are pulling people out of the main Okay, I'm locking him away for somebody's like so the new 52 Superman the way that the way that As an eluthor and super boy prime and all them pull them away to like build that machine Okay, so so Think if it's too super man's captured red rock is captured Tim Drake Batman for right now He's dead and in both cases. There's a big flash of energy or explosion.

Well, you know Batman's gonna investigate that right? So that's what's going on He's back. Oh and lots and lots of spoilers I'm not sure because I'm reading these I'm reading a lot of these summaries as the books are coming out or as they're getting announced So currently the Batman before is current I don't remember It's a good story It's not what's his name. I want to say sex But it is Snyder Court als all that jazz.

Oh, that's what it's okay. So I have my notes now This is all in type of comics. It's not the main Batman comics. Okay So it's still it's still the same time one though He gets taken away the last minute by mr.

Oz is the name of the character Reference to document happen in the book right the first issue of the whole thing who also appears to have doomsday and the new 52 superman interesting So but for currently they think he's dead Alright, so Then we'll jump back to I know that I have though was that Alan Moore is officially tired from comics He's been doing that for years. No, he's been doing that for years He says he wants to focus on his books and his other media what fucking books and what fucking media? Yeah, I'm gonna play you some college. Don't worry about it imaginary college, which by the way would be a great title for Ellen Moore to write the end Like what like Yeah, like I'm I'm stymied by Ellen Moore focusing on his books like what books is he written?

Sometimes I don't and that's why they have that Do things like secret wars and civil war two and now bullshit Pull back together. No, no, no, that's why you have that's why I have all the DC infinite blah blah blah blah blah Okay, Marvel doesn't have yeah, no Marvel rarely has reboots. That's true DC does so Okay, so let's switch off the comics for a second and back to Agency shield you want to finish that up? Oh, no, oh god.

No, okay. Go because you have like this whole 90s vibe to it With a ghost talking about trying to find the stronghold. I'm sorry. That's not called the darkhold book Which was part of the Midnight's I believe midnight sons.

How can I forget that I have a tattoo from that actual crossover? That's actually true I do that's when they rebooted Morbius and I got now But anyway So the ghost of like in plug there's the darkhold book, which is very midnight sons Which involved ghost writer which involved Morbius which involved ghost writers? What was that called what was our team called like dark dark writers something rather? Hmm?

Something writers. Thank you Gabby I'm gonna drop it midnight son right yes But I think that the holders of the darkhold book which was like a block written in hell and blah blah blah blah not a not a curse word actual location So the fact that they're hunting that down makes me think they're doing a bit of a midnight son's thing Yeah, it's possible and they keep saying like we have to find him now Him is not who I'm going to pause it right now That's what crab crab hand crab handed girl voice girl I don't like oh, but I saw that okay like when I saw like him. I was like I'm not okay. I'm not okay But that I'll lead this to my next point that the new director of shield is an inhuman right He knocked out me who's seeing these weird things after being passed through by the ghost from the darkhold techno faults Yeah, like all that bullshit.

Yeah, just put it on check mark. Mm-hmm It make me very acutely aware how much I curse but Yeah, the bedable on that one kiddo, but that is the director of the guy there hunting town right so We don't know a whole lot about the in human director other than Colton knows is an even obviously may who has been weirdly driven insane by the ghost from the darkhold group is he the guy We'll see I think we've made some calls on certain shows where we were right or wrong for the most part We're really wrong Weirdly wrong because the black dinosaur robot was not a no and we'll get to that in a moment But I do really want to wrap up agents of shield We have a 32 minutes and 27 seconds 28 seconds 30 seconds, okay This is a show that actually on this season keeps me guessing on the first two episodes Why that doesn't like it if you listen to the next episode, I don't I don't know but She's not a big fan. I am it keeps me guessing Especially this is another they're introducing magic in that basically there a science forensics life Yeah, like trying to figure out magic and they have to deal with that whole as you brought up like that whole as guardian thing Where it's like magic is just science you haven't found out So but with ghost writer, I don't that science with these ghost boxes. I don't think that's science I think they're introducing magic and I think they're doing it in a really timely way with I think they're being careful How do you do it though because I'm absolutely I'm sure they have some ideas, but they're probably just as an authority.

We are a pal they'll be able to do it in some shield No, god. No Jeff Lowe head of TV. There's no way. He doesn't know what's going on in the movies.

There's no way But they've also been writing these episodes for a long time. Yes I agree With the idea in mind that they're not really sure how doctors change my go That's gonna turn out other than some big memory big big scribblings on a nap and basically But they know it's coming so they started kind of adapting to that and there maybe that maybe then it's a little season we'll see more definitive stuff as far as like one of the concrete idea of Maybe it could be a new genre science magic. I wrote a short story about a science vampire So it's not out of the realm. No Marvel call me I Mr.

Robot you and I need to like touch base on this Finally got an Emmy yes Black she says watch it. Yeah, I know I know I five she deserved it. She deserved it Okay Gang one writing for a comedy series for master. Yeah people versus OJ one a lot of it should have a really good job I guess so I haven't watched it.

But you know it's what I know like thirteen or fourteen something ridiculous out of like twenty four Yeah, something you would like I made sure to make this note Delete it writing for a variety special Pat Naswell for talking for clapping and And I'm sad with yes variety talk series last week tonight with John Oliver one Which I'm very happy because that show is gonna win. I know but I've that showed me is Can I just watch all these shows really much a couple of info? I mean some people might watch them all but most people that are probably judging don't watch them all they're just both I would take her up. Yes, I agree and then mr.

Robot one that's best actor in the drama Yeah, Randy Malick because you know I think what he did the Egyptian Princeton in the museum one two and three. I think I think you've slided for the supporting actor I'm not even getting an omniscient. I'll tell you where you want to get into it But when he has to repeat the lines that mr. Robot or Christian Center are giving to him in the show and just repeat them in the same way Yeah, that takes skill.

Yeah, so let's go into this robot a little bit because that makes it's a season finale like we're done Well, no that there are a couple of episodes we didn't talk about so Did we talk about the big reveal prison? Yeah, we got we did talk about that Okay, no, but that one I'm thinking of is I came over the last episode or the second to last episode might be both But there was this weird part where they show rainy acting as mr. Robot. No frittzing out like the burnout Like flashbacks like flashbacks to when mr.

Robot was making these plans to yes, too They're showing rainy but he's talking and he's acting and he's walking and moving and motioning like Christian Yeah, and it was impressive as a lot of like how long I guess I'm working together for two seasons you pick up that well Yeah, I mean I don't want to I don't want to slight the plot twist from the first season I don't but you have that with how do they move how do they act on? Actually, I'm gonna say fight club that's well inaccurate. I was gonna say face off Yeah It's basically like Travolta doing cage and cage during travolta. I mean it's actually really impressive going They're kind of similar yeah, yeah Oh my god, Travolta and kiss of a vampire which have the same voice like a vampire But he would do it like a Not the hair not the hair It was a bit of a severe live or there's a fever sorry Wow, okay, let's do that one yes, but Remy Malik one well dessert Him and Tatiana Maslansi.

I mean like we've touted her in terms of war from black for years ever since the season So well actually the second season started I don't think it was for in on the first season No because it wasn't straining or on hulu or on a yeah, yeah And then once we got in the second season because I was part of the whole like BBC run with like that and doctor who and The blues and nerd is show. Yeah But yeah, like I'm so glad both of those actors He has a crying game vibe They just they needed to win so let's talk about what rather than recapping the last two or three episodes We'll just talk about where things are at right now as a season ended well he shot Torell's reels spoilers. Oh right at the beginning of like I said Tyrell is definitely real At least on the ground bleeding from a stomach wound So not dead dead that was arranged by mr. Robot Tries to stop me even if it's me very fight clubby.

Sorry. Sorry, but that's true He's he's so the mr. Robot persona is so dedicated to this cause yes He's willing to sacrifice himself because he knows it because shot as Elliot. He's still going away He's not like you know jumping brains or shit.

They're not gonna do that So it's very dirt in terms of dedication to the cause when they that's even fight club where it says in the in the movie Where it's like anyone against in our way gonna take his balls like it the thing is like I think it's I think it's a little Constrite I think we talked about this with that with that twist on the first season Very fight clubby, but you have to remember that like fight club man what like maybe 99 like somewhere in there this is almost almost 20 years later Yeah, Jesus Christ rolled but yes like that the new generation watching this show are not gonna catch that rep Not gonna be able to catch it, but we will but saying like I'll go on without you Yeah, pretty much very easy. You got Tyrell's crazy ass wife who She went to the house. I think expecting to see Tyrell somehow Well, let me know let me rephrase that she went to the house knowing it was this that CTO's house She didn't respect I think the gifts were from him to ultrasound picture and all that stuff You know the gifts that were showing up at the house because she says like the last bit you sent me was like You got me the wettest which I think was like but you already pissed me off the mall He already flipped on that like he'd already admitted by that point you think so I think he would know I'll May go back and rewatch it. Yeah rewatch that because that's the first time they're coming face to face on that one No, no, no, but I think she said that the conversation I think I think she'd already been told that it was him Either way she she had that plan her head to get the crap beat out of her Oh, absolutely so that she can get the murder charge And now she's in her little boy toy guy to further it.

Oh, absolutely. Yes. I agree Jesus, don't like we're just a woman like I even when she's being Psycho Yeah, she's a fucking psycho So there's that then there's that weird phone call to very in between Angela and well giving any pressure that Angela's known what's going on the whole time and possibly as leadership aspects No, I don't believe that no, she didn't seem surprised when Tyrell called her She didn't think prize when Tyrell talked about what he says like when he says like I loved him And I shot him and she was he made the right decision right I think she knew When she unvolved with another dark army after society that that was gonna happen or that was the possibility. I think Okay, she knew that Something was was up Then there is the after credit scene Which I am sorry, you didn't see that Okay, so oh yes without that the h-mark or whatever Yes, and then They're like they're painting through the parking lot and I saw the front of the building I've been to that one because it's got that weird almost like this guy that we were designed on the outside around the doors Yeah, I've been to that fragile electronics, which they're all over California I think there's with Two kimmsmith and Muslim lady.

Yes with But DJ Mobley And then she's got a really weirdly normal name like you have the American name Yeah, but they're outside the fries talking about how to reverse it So if you remember and then homeboy it shows up, yeah, they didn't delete records right they encrypted them they encrypted them supposedly unrecoverable And she's not about generating a key or looking for the key to undo the encryption And then Leon shows up which obviously Leon's not a figure a figure a figure of Yeah, like we thought yeah, we did think that for a minute. I Kind of figured he was real once he started stabbing guys Like a lot of guys, you know like a lot of like the entire area the entire area in brotherhood in that person But at the same time like with this show you never know Here's some things that I'm actually gonna go back and watch all of first season all second season interesting There's nothing's here's why There are multiple references Especially in this season to back in the future to a lot between the second to last episode all the music was from back in the future Huh? There was the original season reference which is like you want to watch back to the future to and get high at your favorite movie Yeah, but there's little references throughout season to back in the future to I'm curious what the lights going I mean, yeah, I could see it being a Dramatic thing plus the like brownouts But it's not even what it happens Or or time I don't think it is I don't know we're gonna do something weird something I think the show is too grounded you can't do parallel universe You could you could you could I mean really why not they're doing everything else they're doing they're doing split personalities and complete things of imagination like okay, so you're having mobile personality syndrome and that does not mean that you get that That's not jail is your house That's general unusual and that doesn't lead you to parallel realities. I'm sorry like that doesn't get you there My current theory though on what the general I'm sorry general mental illness does not or acute mental illness man Addiction yeah like does not get you to spanking a dog It might That'd be weird, but no does not get you like parallel universe like we don't get like earth one earth two on this show That's not the way it's built.

I'm sorry. Maybe not Maybe it won't be parallel universes. Maybe we'll be time travel but some some time travel I'm not saying time travel is gonna happen, but some aspect of that back with all the links to back to the future And all the reference something's gonna come in to play from it's gonna it's gonna happen Maybe only time travel but something if it does I'll actually be disappointed. I'm sorry Especially with the you got the woman saying she hacks time.

I Did like the little girl sitting in there reading that weird Zork game with the well She had Zork and Lolita. Yeah the episode full of the dream. Yeah. Oh my god So that was a lot of people are like I don't get it.

I'm like good luck You're not supposed to so here's what I think's gonna happen or I'll rephrase that here's what I think the plan is currently I think e-corps plan was to establish was to give her to cash was to destroy cash Just some as a financial US dollar as a whole as a currency. Yes create this e-currency which they obviously done with China with the dark army Yes, it was original plan, but when things weren't going exactly as planned like the US government wasn't doing something the way it was supposed to I think they decided to go off on their own and do it which is what is going on now with What we see that like talking to the US government Yes, you hear it in the commercials like you are new e-currency and if you use our new e-current So you get 20% off you see that goes by the laptop if you buy a current e-corp bucks or whatever the hell it's called You bucks or whatever. It's like $300 off the laptop or something. It's so ridiculous.

I Think I think originally the dark army and e-corp were together and I think now the dark I mean what dark army split I think the real reason is because they didn't want that electronic currency established I think I think the dark army is basically a state that China state sponsor hacking group Who was used by China to destroy the US dollars that the Chinese yen becomes the world currency I think that was their goal and you see that with the zero interest I think that was the goal and I think the zero interest loan on it I think you know, I think Elliot and the rest of us are manipulated and in some aspects allowed to do what they did To have that happen to make these things go forward with the original idea between the two of them to be and then once they realize And then there's something special about that that facility the facility that their parents died at the yeah And they haven't said yet, but something there's something special about well the dark army like what's your name or what's it's maybe long white rose Beauty Wong white rose. Yes, like once that for a specific reason And the CEO of the corporate teching it like he doesn't know why but doesn't know he does do you I think he does I don't think he does maybe doesn't know all of it. I think he knows enough I mean if for those two to be working together, they're not the amatica But at least a basic level of trust and I don't think that any corporate facility used by the dark army Slash China as much as he's always allowed it without some understanding of what they were doing why they were doing it Maybe I know why but what what maybe they give him maybe a lifetime I'm sure they did about what the purpose was that again goal was but they probably gave enough information to keep him Because it gave every cancer right. Yeah, it's killing people And I ask you be something like a Manhattan project type thing with radiation reasoning.

I mean there's all kinds of weird shit that come out of that So yeah, I think it would up now here's what I'm curious about is Leon there to kill those two or Has been on kind of falling over to Elliot side and is there to protect them? Because obviously they're taught reversing what's been done And I think Elliot will eventually realize that as well that reversing what's been done is the best solution Can we just talk about real quick? Hmm? In the history of all companies The company would have all of their physical files Transfer over to one site.

No, they do it at those sites. They do it at storage sites They would have set up some way to I know but like in terms of like damn like doing the the raspberry and all that jazz And it's like well e-course having everything like Downtown Manhattan That would never happen You know ever I would like to say that it would never happen at the same time as a hacker you'd like to see that happen Great. No, I'd like to say that it wouldn't happen right at the same time people when they do knee-jerk reactions and And I think you make dumb I mean look at the government didn't know what happened well We're gonna attack this country that nothing to do with it Not only that we're gonna convince the American public beforehand that they did have everything to do with it because we don't want to admit that Saudi Arabia has to do it and they will go to the Saudi Arabia I don't know what to do We did yes, we're gonna go a big giant tangent. Anyway, I don't want to go into politics right now very conspiracy.

It's not otherwise It's kind of not the Saudi Arabia did have things. No. Yeah, we had bases there and we should and that's why they From the mouths of babes You're that weird generation like that living is like a history So it's all history to her Anyway, I would like to say that company wouldn't do that because it sounds like if nothing else It sounds like the slowest possible way to do it But does it sound like maybe that that oh I want to say like to me with the way things are interconnected right now It'd be easier to set up a temporary Network of computers in each data center in each storage facility location and hire temp workers to scan and all this data But doesn't seem like the way the ones that killed Dooku whatever is funny Yeah, yeah, okay, that's not the same guy, but uh that he's like setting it up to be Burned or hacked or whatever. No, he's trying to recover.

Are you sure? I think he is I think he's desperate enough now I mean the company the core of as a whole is only surviving because China gave them money as zero at a zero interest Which is a huge deal? Yeah, no, no, what they especially in that scenario I think but the same time he's watching that. That's as a large company as that is they would shoot through that one I think they would shoot through it really quick.

I think they're panicking. I think he is actually trying to recover those records There's probably some other reasons that he's trying to do it too. Yeah Yeah, he's trying to get like dirt on not sure if it's to destroy them I don't think it's to destroy them. I think it's really he wants to recover him So he has his power base back and now these separated himself from the white army or at least appears to be yes To doing that.

You know, I think he wants to reestablish his power base and owing them what four billion dollars or whatever it is Is not the way to do that. You can't you can't control the company when you own a country that much fucking money It's which they talk about I know this is TV show Because of the death like China owns The majority of the trees in the Rocky Mountain National Forest or something like that because it's collateral for some of the first other loans I don't know if that's true or not. It's just something I read I never did I never did enough research. I Try and find others.

I know they almost were dead, but yeah The other reason I didn't really get into it. I want to go back and watch those two seasons back to back Certain websites they've used while while all the tools the majority of tools they've used are very real They have sped up the time that some of these hack would take like the femtose cell thing and You know, oh, we've got the we've got the cell phone. Yeah, yeah, they would work they would take days, right? Not five minutes after Angela types on the command on the screen But that means you know anyway a lot of the websites they use have been created for the show and exist on the internet Yes, and there's this whole weird online thing It's like all the code that wrote in this notebook like there's a QR code somewhere in the TV show and last To a website yeah, and so there is stuff that they put in the show to suck you into some kind of online game Or online scavenger hunt whatever it is and I think it's next month Well, this is October 1st.

I'm pretty sure it's in November. There's a book called Red Wheelbarrow That is a it based on what the picture is well said the picture that that they show is one of Elliot's marble composition notebooks Okay, and supposedly it's one of his journals That's what the book is that they're gonna be released in the real world Sure, there'll be some clues in that I still want to go back and that that scene where it's like a bird's eye view of Elliot's apartment It's panning through and he's like do you see it? Like there's gotta be something in there I don't think anyone's found anything in that's in that scene yet. It's in the first episode.

Yeah. Yeah, it's in this season You saw my like there's a clue the other thing I noticed was the red wheelbarrow started coming up a lot really it Well, so it's new his journal called red wheelbarrow The menu that they'd use the number decoding thing. It's like text to text it's a small that's a small code that That was a red wheelbarrow menu And in the last episode when they go to the elevator the Chinese guy that's eaten the hamburger It's a red wheelbarrow hamburger. I caught it on a on the on the wrapper of the burger.

Wow. Holy shit It was complete luck. I wasn't looking for it. It was it was complete luck That was like yeah, like that was one of those where I was like it's those like weird little not I'm not gonna catch like I mean I really want to start paying more attention to like what your elves are typing in what you know Qr the thing is like Elliot starts like coding in his notebook like what does that code mean when you punch into HTML or a CSS or whatever But it's pretty interesting plus you know when he's doing that hexadecimal translation Mm-hmm.

There's lots of websites that exist on the internet They could have used for that that are very well known But they didn't they created their own website for it and it exists on the internet the site that he uses in the show exists on the internet And I'm curious like what that's gonna talk like there's gonna be some kind of time what that does Yeah, so yeah, I'm gonna go back and watch more more episodes, and I'm gonna get that what read We'll it's hard to say red wheelbarrow Time tire, especially if you say it a bunch Red wheelbarrow, red wheelbarrow You're already good. She's better than I would have done, but yeah, I want to get that book and see like what little clues are gonna I mean there so I'll turn that into a game while I'm gonna go next season start When I'm watching over and over again, and I'm really looking at the background And I noticed something I can't remember when it was but I really thought I'm like that's a dead giveaway to the plot one Yeah, is that the gravity falls to yeah, so she turned it over watch gravity falls animated twin peaks. Yes, I'm aware of it Yes, you have to watch it. I know it's oh she's she came over I'm just like dad you got to watch this cartoon.

Okay, it's animated like twin peaks. Yeah, it's really good It's fun. It's like we saw some of the characters that and again. Yeah So we've been watching that It's over over to the cancel it's done No, it's done.

I was done. I was a cancer what the creator chose to end up because he don't want to pull the plug on it So okay, so he thought he figured it ended while he still could yeah, yeah It's like what three or four seasons some Two seasons Yeah, so that's the weird cartoon we've been watching obviously you but oh and I'll let you get into your messed up cartoons and when you're over with that I have some red shirts. I have a red shirt. Oh, that will start that'll tie into that.

I talked about it last week I just had Lizzie watch it this week, which was don't hug me. I'm scared which had Getting there which had the Recommended video on the side that was solid fingers. So I've been pretty much solid fingers I'm good when the writer wanted comes out, but yeah, that's the second episode out of 10 let that sink in So you finally saw don't hug me. I'm scared.

Yes Yes, the episode I always recommend episode two time God I just really want you to watch it from the second from the first episode like and go okay I have some second episode and then shoot through because the fifth episode is where it really takes it Yes, or do do do do do Which in the show is really dark do do do do I don't want to spoil it I should But I've been watching a lot of More imaginary money a lot of fucked up cartoons lately with don't hug me. I'm scared solid fingers It's just When you're if you go back when you're older Like let's say you let's say we're 18 or 19 or 20 But I can watch a maniac again, and you're gonna pick up on lots of things that you pick up on right now Just because you don't there's a built-in Yeah If I make it There's some stuff in your own Inviter zoom yeah Okay, dizzy movies The guys that did the our direction were Muckin Dolo from Hellboy and Jeff Darrow Yeah, we did a lot of work on the matrix And one of the explosions expert is Father Shabuchi Okay, like oh yeah like where it's like this pillar must have taken like five thousand years to carve me like blows it up He goes I made a bridge it took me like 20 seconds like oh yeah Atlanta was the first literally the first is he movie without anything Would have been before that actually well They might have had like Absolutely, but I had singing Some no like welcome to the world like it's a small world after you know that bullshit I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No go because I'm Sure, yeah, you're in we have to take a moment of silence Because while we're gone But this one stood out to me David Bowie no we've taken that Sorry Clay Martin Kruger Who was the animated voice actor of a ghost coast of Zorac and Moltar? He was multi-arms Iraq I heard about this one of you Chris's Twitter feed no yeah, I saw this I Think I posted this on my own personal Facebook where I was like hashtag down the osmond on the osmond where I was like Zorac was my favorite characters fine to him.

I mean and they tried doing a split off with him Well, no, they he was on he was on space coast coast coast and he was on the brack show That's what I was at one point the brack show Zorac and the space goes Zorac like thought right and it was amazing But like all like done as It was pretty good. It was great, but so way back when I mean adults was huge now Wasn't really known they were known a little bit because they had powerpuff girls and Dexter's lab. They had them well That's that's it that's cartoon that was not I'm sorry. Well, it's cartoon network though.

Yes, but I'm talking about when you talk about adults when you talk about space coast coast I'm sorry. Yes, and they started this thing they took a risk and I've seen interviews with the CEO and the like marketing Directed record time. It was a huge risk to take these cartoons and put them on at 11 o'clock at night Yes, I was gonna watch them. We'll make more money playing infomercials 30 minutes up hop.

Oh, they won't so it'll be awesome Space coast coast coast c-lab 2021 Oh a bunch of other cartoons that awkward team I was in the first run. They became they were adults when I mean you do have to not me but No, that's right tonight Squidbillies which I don't get yeah I'm super present but like it birthed a whole new genre of adult cartoons, right and so Clay was one of the major founders of basically adults one at this point because space coast coast it's so well that that's one of the major Oh, yeah, well, yeah that and then what was the follow up to that was wasn't coast of coast it was um Shit Base coast Well, they would actually play the old space goes space goes cartoons at some point and they did Harvey Bergman Harvey Bergman Adrenette law. Oh my god. Okay, but anyway, he died.

He was definitely what was said it was sudden He was only 54 years old He started and he started he guys work starting as he was having promos for TNT in the early 90s And then transition to a cartoon network When they were doing a big rebranding They were called before Cartoon Network something else And then they must like to network or something like that tune or tunes yeah But they grab my closet produce a cartoon show for adults which is it up being the space coast And I'm read who ended up doing archer by the end of everything Yeah, well, that's the thing is like, you know adults went doing so well allowed things like it probably had a hand The family guy going back. Oh, it did not it did not have a hand it was like well, I sure it's one of the reasons it came back It came back period episode. It's one of the adults went yeah Same thing with Yeah, they brought that back for another one what two or two or three seasons two or three seasons Yeah, but this the success of this of this late night cartoons that also created things like Archer Archer wouldn't exist if well You look at and read you look at and read it's like it and read came out of C-led 2021 which is a great show But I'll row if you have never seen that episode then I'm sorry That's it cartoon planet That was 2021 C-led 2021 led into frisky dingo Yeah, which was the new way of like what it looks like and then like Archer loves like frisky dingo I mean it was dot-to-dots-dot on that one You wouldn't have had archer without anything like that Crooker was also the mad scientist doctor weird on He brought voice of Molter when the characters are state the two know Hello Brad I have corn Yeah Awkward to was so so groundbreaking in terms in terms of like the surrealistic stuff that you saw with like the tick On on the fox that you see in the live action, but you don't really see it in the live action Sorry, but like in the life act in the enemy like oh you could see like that surrealistic stuff in England With chirp is chippin Dale and zippernack and all that jazz That might have been a bad guy all that jazz But so he passed and we missed and oh, yeah Amazing buddy work and cartoon that with the adults one was actually really cool and put all of the space goes to coast episodes for free You know description, you know to have a cable provider login like they just put on the online on their website great I'm assuming he's on their app too. That was on September 20th.

So a couple weeks ago. I think they're still doing it But outside of watching them on their app there's no legal way right now to currently get all the episodes Because without down like I said legal so can I recommend the episodes with that Thurston boar from Sonic Youth and David Byrne From the talking heads the two most awkward human beings. I've ever seen interviewed ever Also the episode with uh what is his name from um Survivor Jeff Jeff proves where he just does not acknowledge like he's on a fake show then should you bear out of the rafters? There's a flight pole in a butthole There's tall boys.

It's a great episode Things get lit on fire for no reason and you can pretty much see the framework We're doing on group wars on that episode Jeff proves Those my favorites of a William Nelson was a great episode. That was a great episode Just all the old space goes coast coast stuff was so amazing In terms of teamwork in terms of redefining the way that I don't like a dick, but uh, and yeah But the way that Craig Ferguson redefined like the late night show. Yeah was the same way a fictional character space goes did it Space goes coast coast used to be on these old not even DVD but like VHS like after yeah, like they were like the added specials And changed the way like once cable really hit with Special with HBO, but really hit the way that it redefined kind of an after show. Yeah before there was Chris Hardwick there was space Ghost Okay, my only Richard because I've gone over a bunch of them while we're talking anyway, which seems to be having a lot lately So the guys from Night Vale are doing a new podcast that comes out Night Vale presents the orbiting human circus of the air A top the Eiffel Tower a lonely janitor stumbles into a series of alternately The apple tower cleaning Come on there Prems the movie to our land, but all right, so a lonely janitor stumbles into a series of alternately surreal and comic adventures as you Come apart of a mystery.

What is the secret behind the wildly popular bizarrely impossible live don't their fucking mysteries live radio variety show Broadcast the towers top starts on over 12. So that's that's my venture But I have left is there a new podcast I go I've been listening to soft-read radio live. They're doing pretty well. I've also been listening to Things they don't want you to know Yeah, that's a good one.

I yeah, I was a little it's they take you know It's sort of conspiracy theory, but not really it's more like bringing up things that are kind of weird. It's less truth Erbeth like it's not truth or at all it's not like that. Yeah, but it's Right the latest one he did was about the was a 1930 1930s la getting attacked by you have those thing Oh, yeah, yeah, they're talking about that they go into the history like what the military said happened like people I was saying you're not just yeah throwing it out there like this is what happened They did have a really interesting two-part series. They were interviewing a guy There's a series coming out of his work.

I can't remember was basically this person worked with the federal government as a government boy Not like a snitch or anything capturing the Colombian cartel Back in the 80s It was all about money laundering and how banks are just as corrupt as the freaking guys They're selling drugs and how money gets laundered he goes in this really great story about sports conspiracies And how well the NFL says we've never had people purposely lose a game or throw a game Right, you're gonna do it how would you get caught so obviously you're not gonna know But they do go in history like how back in the early days of major league baseball like there are people throwing games Oh, yeah, and how the mob controlled a lot of that. Yeah, so it is an interesting podcast that the solo loss your ass goes down the seventh Also speaking of conspiracy I saw a quiz online for like how high on this chart of a conspiracy theorist on you from like one to ten Yeah, so with those questions, I just think I think you know yourself well enough to know at least that whether you're a one or ten Yeah, probably so where do you fall to did you take it? No? No?

I think I'm a two like I think that I think that at least every government has like their secrets Yeah, whether it's you know, do you really think it's hiding you have those maybe I'd like to know I think Mike Spence is one of the suburban Subterranean lizard people that run the government Yeah, there's a bunch of aliens living under DIA Yeah, no, that's a conspiracy theory that's because when they built the airport well Don't tell her about Lucifer. I will you went wild the big horse the big We should put down from that we should put that like on the rock host to you stadium to make art Who's the first stadium? Well, it can't be called the Denver of Lucifer's It can't be called Spence or anymore Like saying it's not like that's go it could be a statement like saying turn back now or else Yeah, let's go with the blue horse up, but anyway, so let's do half of the week. I've got two of them one for you The first one's called run P This is just an awesome app that I think everyone should have so the description of the app is here's a hypothetical You're at the movie theater and didn't intend on getting a large coat with large popcorn, but it was literally my dollar more than the regular So you were like well what a bargain before the previews are over You've already down half the soda now you're filled to bursting with high fructose corn syrup water and then we was about to start You need a bathroom break, but you don't want to miss any of the action What's the guy to do boom run P?

That's the name of the app run P Our human P So what's the premise run P is an app that tells you the perfect time to run to the bathroom during your movie and gives you What you missed when you get back, okay The next one I think is the one for me Only on iOS so it is kind of you too it's called a mo you and this is one for you you and mo So the public speaking is most common fear among Americans if you're one of the many who struggle with talking at meetings I'll give you a presentation. I'm open help not yet wait for it. I'm gonna help you filter those um's and us So your speech is clear and more about that's a double into the You go back and you edit out the arms. Do you know what I feel like okay?

Do you know I feel like when I edit down I've never said it's not loud that when I edit all the arms and us out And the so's and but yes and all that jazz. I just think of in job. It's like the unbligant eyes Like what you've told me you actually can pick out where it is. Oh, yeah, I know yeah when I read this I was like doesn't need this it's even time on editing the podcast But yeah, so you simply tell emo which words and sounds are your crutches which is what they are And emo Trust us if you never stop thinking about how often you certain work to feel dead air you should So we're well where how many times you do it?

This wasn't a negative thing for you. No, I know But the fact that I edit all the arms and so I'm sure I say it probably doesn't much as you have not you know With my whole host it helps. I'm not gonna get in this no, but Yeah, lots of people doing oral I just thought it was really happen It's not just um and you literally say what your crutch words are Hope you work on a pipe. It's only I was right now So I have to play with you would like to and I would love to know what dog I'll try run p you try emo Okay, I just came up with a fun idea Oh, if you ever get the app and you type in a sentence that you're about to say in like two seconds Yeah, take a video say that sentence Well, you just have nothing coming out your mouth or if you say I'm an So the app would automatically remove everything Yeah, but I'm gonna look like you just like anything there be a video in the audio You'd be like watching a watch a Japanese movie.
