Thing two will be at haymaker. Yeah, and we've got to talk. Dave and I got to talk, or Randy, you can talk to with us, figuring out our year schedule. There's a few places around town that I wanted to have our offense. Chelsea's not at embryo anymore. I haven't talked to her in a while. Do you pay attention? Eh? Yeah. I've only been in the hospital since like November. You've had nothing. You had nothing to do with pay attention to people's Facebook updates, movies to eighties movies to watch star Wars movies to see. So speaking of, I will say a dude. So I have binged the hell out of like Disney plus I am getting every Penny's worth out of that. I ignored clone Wars and rebels when it came out. I did a kind of end sorta like Battlestar Galactica. I regret doing so now James almost one. Yes. Without a guy I want to do, we could do with these key and dude remember how like I was like, I was like, no, I'm not watching it. It's a remake. Screw you. I'm not. And then I watched it. I was like, when it came on BBC and I was like, Oh Oh that was really good. I'm mad I didn't watch it. They are doing clone Wars is really good. I was taping all of them. I was watching them and then I was like kind of watching them half-assed. Then I didn't get into it. And by like the pop culture constipation where like the backlog was just too much to push out. Yes, clear my watch Q but there's just chosen considering giving up on like the termed reboot. Season two just really has a common interest. Riverdale season four is a hot mess. Like the whole show has been a hot mess. I'll never forget I was doing work on my laptop and my daughter, my 12 year old daughter, she might've been 10 at the time and all I keep hearing is Archie and Veronica and Jughead. Right. And I'm like, what? And I look over and it looks like like nine Oh two one on Twilight and I go, what in the blue hell are you watching? Oh my daughter's obsessed. She goes [inaudible] and I go, those are Archie comics. And I like pull it up on my laptop. And then like, so like I met comma kind. I bought her an Archie comic. She goes, dad, these are stupid. I go, you watch raver? Like what? There is nothing in common between Taylor and that very quickly. I know, I'm like, you like her. I felt like I've never felt like more like the mom from better off dead. I'm like, but you like you migrate. But no. So, yeah, no. So I have a, I've been, I binged, I, I made it all the way through clone Wars. Uh, I am in season two of rebels. Um, I don't understand why Disney Plaza and I post about this the other day, I don't understand why Disney plus didn't just buy the rights for tartar, cop skis, clone Wars, um, which came out years before, uh, the series that is on Disney plus how you watch that? 2003. Yeah, dude. And like end-to-end, like all of them together. It's two hours and 12 minutes and it's good. Like I'm, I was between two and three. It's clone Wars. Yeah, no, it's, the clone Wars was like, two was clone Wars. It's, yes, it's between two and three. If that. It's the bridge. It's in fact. So here's the thing. So clone Wars, the one that's on Disney plus does not completely bridge between two and three yet. Yeah. Season seven's comes, it comes out February 20th. Yeah. Um, but so that tarted Kowski version in two hours and 12 minutes completely bridges those two movies and was so good. Like I, I w I was stunned. So this is, it kind of goes to like the dumbest headline I've read this week. There was a bunch of them, not the fart pill. We'll talk about that in a little bit because that was the dumbest nobody now actually I need to talk about that class. Of course you do real science, but like the fake star Wars arises. Skywalker streaming state see a steel user's credit card. What kind of a moron do you have to be? And I'm just gonna I'm, I am, I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put it in that context. What kind of a moron do you have to be that you're going to throw your credit card info into a website that says, Hey, I'm streaming this huge movie that's still out in theaters right now. And yet you won't just go to the theater to watch it. Um, Oh yeah, that's right. Well, they don't want to leave the house. You don't know who these people are. I am these people. Dude, you know me. If it's not, dude, it takes a lot to get me into a movie theater people. I just don't leave in general. Um, but it's the same people that put their credit card info to verify their age, where they're chatting with them. They're hitting up porn sites in the UK. Real girl that wants to have sex with just that with just them. Yeah. Not today. ISIS not today. Probably got too big on mountain doing that. Can't actually physically leave mom's basement with Jim [inaudible] works once in a while. Yeah. I mean it hasn't worked for me, but [inaudible] there was this guy in a forum that said it worked. Um, but no, so, but no. So I guess on the star Wars tip, dude, hold on, I gotta read this. This is all stupid till, cause I, they got a quote from Kaspersky on recommends that movies and TVs fans to follow the following steps to be on the safer side. Pay attention to the official movies. Pop a dumb ass, pay attention to the official movie release dates. Don't click on suspicious links. This is those promising an early view of the film. Look at a download file extension. Oh my God. People are downloading the entire movie, like an exe to like click here to launch the player app or something. Right. Well it was back in the day was you go on like you watched like the shaky Russian cam, you know, and check the websites authenticity, you know, make sure that it's got an HTTPS come on. I mean that doesn't really mean much these days. Yes. Is free not as thin mask anything. Yeah. Um, but yeah, people are getting hit by it so much they to write on, on the star Wars tip, I dude, I am, I am looking forward to this. I I want, I need, I must have the hundred 92 minute directors. Oh my God, yes. Of the rise of Skywalker bring it become how did that even become a thing where that's going to get released now if you haven't heard about this yet GJ because cats cat. So number one there, there were two great stories of cats that we didn't even talk that we didn't even put it make, didn't even make the list. Number one, nobody is going, actually there are three, number one, nobody's going. Number two, 10 year old saw cats. Number two. So many people are not going that while it's still in theaters. They released a new version to the theaters to hopefully make it suck less. Number three, the only people that are truly enjoying cats apparently are people that are high off their ass when they see the movie. I told you my third Magdalena white and right. 13 year old. She's like, I go, do you? Yeah. What's a theater? I go, do you guys go see star Wars cause she hasn't seen it yet. Then my older one has, she goes, she goes, no, we saw him. Cats. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You needed your group of friends. Your child has not seen star Wars yet. Dude, I been crack go nowhere dude. You're lucky. I went that night too with you guys. I have no idea how hard that was for me to be in that theater. You could have told me I could have taken up with my kids. Eh? Gretchen went when she got a boyfriend, she went with him and 13 year olds. It's like that whole world. He likes talking a with me, so I don't mind them so much. But that didn't apply to me. No, because it reminded me of talking wrestling with the one girl Gina, that I dated when I was that age. And I'm like, Oh, I know what he's doing. Slimy. No. So no, but this isn't our end 12 minute version of the rise of scour cause it was unprecedented. Who this hasn't is this been done? I've never heard of this. Especially talking about this early going, Oh by the way, we cut a bunch of shit, but we're going to splice it all back together and give it to you like three minutes after the end ga
