354. We're Both the Alex

It's like Melaney says about JJ Bittenbinder. I was so feverish and so stupid. My fucking family loves this season. It's like these big, like strong, huge like black guys who always get like grave injuries and have to leave the show. Yeah. or or or whatever her her new boyfriend is called is everywhere. Did you hear what happened to Brooke Shields? And she's like, oh I'm sorry, canal, don't read this to me. I bet he doesn't drink enough water for one. This is so disorienting. Uh people really want the holiday party to kinda. But he plays an out he plays an outrage. And Conjuring Yes. So no no start do you need a click or something? But Comcast wouldn't have it. It I mean we talked about this.

Ca cable news or uh uh like this is why I don't have a TV. Have you ever watched that at all? Yeah, but I mean like that you can never pay enough money. Oh my god. Hey Brooke Shields, get well soon. uh what you see is bouncing off the mirrors and you're seeing like whatever is like right below that. With more than a big thing. Uh like f Funhouse Mirrors uh mirror mazes like the one in uh us uh that's what it's called, right? This is like such a masterful movie. Who decides that the only way his dream can be achieved is uh what is it, to build an opera house on top of a mountain in a jungle? dictionary. But it's usually like watch tenant, that kind of shit. There's let's yeah, don't out people.

It's like such an odd thing to do. Listen, get away from my boob. Yeah, I Hey, look at one two six. the first one yeah I'm like uh 1. Oh like oh yeah he's the fixer. This week's challenge, challenge us. was explosive through both both ends for a couple days. through at least Monday, but really also Tuesday. That's not even including like what comes up later. Now I'm getting compression because more and more things like need to happen and I'm increasingly just not capable of doing it. Stonestown Galleria parking lot. Wednesday daddy's feeling a little better, right? Or like, you know how there's always like forgive my saying. And then through the entire first episode proceeds to like point and direct everything based on his expertise as the guy who left Survivor after two or three episodes.

Well, annoy some viewers, clearly. So I don't have a way to write it down. I'm really leaning into my harmonica. Like at the time I assumed i it was because he was just uh uh like what if part of the reason was I wonder what this dude's gonna do and g at doing his summit with the stinky Joshes. Like I keep trying to get into Apple News, but it's so fucking bad. be that guy, but I'm I've made fun of Ron DeSantis for a pretty long time. suggest that that these are to give him more height. Which is still not a thing. It's funny, but like that's a a Trump thing. We know 'cause there's a story of him. Uh I like the New York Times. the insidification of software. Fix your shit, guys. Don't you wanna go do this other thing?

Fucking people. Mm. Oh my god, right? uh all over about how they one time met Bracky. here to tell you. I'm sorry. Like when the mail arrives, you put the mail into this area. Like here's my uh I don't know what kind of stuff do I buy? Uh you haven't told me yet, so this will be the big reveal. And I go, huh? And sometimes there are there are things like Amazon packages where I know what it is and it's garbage or like something weird and I don't know, whatever. My wife especially. Okay, so I opened it up and oh shoot, I I have the boxes at home. Before you get to the AR part, what what what is what are the glasses called? Adorable name. But we've lost that really renegade spirit of of the the terrible times where Max would make us do something ridiculous.

computer related? uh Vitichi of Matt story. Scooter company. Do these really work? one or two and like their VR version, like when you look at stuff, it always looks like really distorted. in your life. Uh Get Out, which we watched. movies and all it took was uh twelve hours of watching that movie. I well I if you don't know what I if I mean uh memento doesn't make sense. uh all those movies, you know, Memento, um, I just got insomnia, I'm probably gonna watch that. f felonies, the stuff that Ron Herzog did to make Fitzcaraldo. movie network. It's fucking weird. Oh, and then someone's because I'm lazy and old and I like watching TV. Oh I love the thing. I was gonna say why do we give the bad part to the people with the kids?

by like, you know, what, 1. Uh we said, hey, give us some ideas for challenges. Uh do do you have the ability you it says you are in uh the uh challenge uh spreadsheet Yep, yep, yep. Spike. If uh like well, okay, it would have to be the uh no, no, not uh I don't know what would have to happen. line 117. I just s uh yeah, and maybe we should transcribe them because I've tried you to g I've tried you to gamble on something, I've tried to uh take grade 'em. Oh, she's also she's also in season two of the Gilded Age. Uh it's got a lot of gay icons. Do I mean that's what I'm saying? No. come home when it gets hungry. It I enjoy it again. Vera Farmiga. Uh see I see I uh uh some I got back, it's time I got uh how I got off the track.

Because we talked for like an hour before this too. Two, three, four. Huh? You know, they say when you get when you get food poisoning, they say it's usually this is I had my I can't believe my wife had never heard this. with your pha. potentially the no internet is just a little bit of internet. to catch up on guess what the shit I hadn't done the last five days. which m many of the uh of many Do by Friday episodes have been recorded that way. Ooh, you know what? I uh honestly it would also be potentially super creepy, but it would be funny for sure. Yeah, there's seats out there and there's also lots of lots of iPhone repair kiosks. Not not not like usually like a not a Hawaiian shirt necessarily, but the see I think of it as having a regular pattern, like say anchors.

And so he wore one of those lesbian shirts like you wear? Uh-huh. Uh uh do byfriday. The podcast top. Sound of the ocean and tropical birds. Like I've not only lost my appetite, I've just I'm like somebody who's had alcohol poisoning and just doesn't want Jack Daniels. stop suggesting. Mm-hmm. like James Brown shoes and it's like I wonder if he's trying to seem tall. that are more appropriate for America's next top model than the campaign trail. instead of having to deal with his shoes that are more appropriate for America's next top model than the campaign trail. Why would he wish for more in-flight bio instead of having to deal with his shoes that are more appropriate for America's next top model than the campaign trail, unquote.

This is a note here from the Daily Beast. splatter forced a Delta flight to turn around. It's like a non sequitur squared. And like from the beginning, it's another one of these things where I the like you gotta go to your email and get the thing and click and go through and like they have a very ungenerous paywall thing and like on top a lot of times I just wanna see what the article says. You will never please your enemies. Oh, they stepped up the attacks. Hey, hey, hey, I sent you a piece about the failures, the multivariate failures of Netanyahu with regard to Israeli security and how his fascist regime I don't love emails. New York Times piece I sent you. No, I had to work. Uh but first paragraph is Brooke Shields is in New York.

And she's looking real weird, she starts foaming at the mouth and falls against a building and hits the ground. who happened to be passing by at the time. The n uh no, not the buddy Garrety. Spoilers for a decade old um Grayson. up that guy no no you're talking about buddy garretti that yes i i'm not saying that's how his father the also from the leftovers very good We should do this. F I I I'm having a phenomenal time because uh yeah Are you? David and the cop are right there. I either ran. Especially about ga gay people well especially about gay people. Well, that's a tall that's a tall glass of mint jewelope for a juror such as myself. Our our our cat is named Francis, um but which is, you know, what his wife's called.

give you the anecdote as give our listeners the anecdote anecdote the way I gave it to you. Sort of go like, oh, here's a lot of garbage, here's something you don't want to miss, and like put it somewhere. know unless it's something I'm actively waiting waiting for like ooh the automated material system for my printer has arrived like like I don't know what and I see this and it's addressed to me When you sent that to me, or more saliently, I have no idea when that arrived. in Michigan. Zovegra? uh that that I always buy from every year. And then look through your your your special angle glasses and be able to read. But then uh and I w was like, no, actually these are pretty good. Uh it's another AR person was like, well, hey, seriously, if you wanna change up your uh perspective, because I'm always talking about changing paradigms, th they recommended uh glasses TV in bed so that you don't need to crane your neck.

God, if anybody's ever seen that wonderful um that movie I mentioned once a year with um Where it's like, oh that's weird. that are uh a ho like you said a horizontal mirror and uh uh uh uh apparently lots of people use these to watch Michael Myers appearing, grabbing somebody, and then the door closing is like the scariest thing you've ever seen. Red pistachios. in my life that were never meant to be easily understood or were never meant to be e understood on the first time. all that stuff. Is that really how it would work? Every single one of them is both a big swing and a success. I mean, look at fucking Werner Herzog. Burdened of Dreams is a movie not by Werner Herzog. uh apocalypse now and boy is that over a fucking grade doctor I know a lot of people say that and I get that I get that burden of dreams is about the banana shit that Werner Hertzog did dangerous like Um, you know, and the idea of like people will know if something is fake.

um a Herzog video that really in the same way that I started to get tenant, like you'll get Herzog more after you watch this video from a guy uh I like a lot called like stories of old is his channel. And he says, um, and he he gestures and he says, you can tell that this boat is not a plastic boat, and this slope is no joke at all. Um but anyway, there's a point where they're interviewing Herzog about this insane thing that he's doing. And then the fourth time, the fourth time it got moved up to my favorite movies. So that's that's my take on that. of challenges we've done, but like it's where we write down ideas for challenges. Uh yeah, and there's Is that my camera? And oh, the th there is another i exception.

Uh-huh. One specifically fan fiction about Syracusa and I I'm was just to see well to d I mean be lazy. Yeah. Mmm. Has to. She's wonderful. Wow, she's too good for him. sorry go on you are you if you say a word against Carrie Coon we will think no I I would uh I would say uh if I was a less mature person she's a fucking woman Oh I Patrick, what's his name? But what I I I'm gonna pick off the dome. Mm yes, indeed. So oh, thank you everybody who because no let uh uh fuck it. these in. surgery because he's always had I don't know how you put this I don't be unkind he's one leg is not as long as the other yeah and it's this surgery that I've heard is maybe the most painful thing. I did. opening of uh a can.

Ready? I uh last week uh we recorded and you'll remember last week I said something about last Wednesday, the what uh I can't do math for late in the month. uh the the basil. Elizabeth. It's like in project management. And and the reason it's um it's I'm talking about here is that like there's this um what's that phrase I used to use on Back to Work a million years ago? I'm a millennial. I don't know where I should be shopping as a a 33-year-old Bay. I mean that's pretty much it. Oh my god. But I think uh I think it was Bruce last year where he heard that weird head wound head wound. Again. And it's silly and we've all made fun of his silly outfits and you know in the past we've even made jokes.

And it looks like he's wearing lifts. For the Republican primary. I don't think that's the thing. Or like Amazon. our paid thing where you get whatever it's called, Uber clubs. It was bad enough with the trans stuff, but I'm not gonna say it, but there's something going on in the Middle East right now that I'm a little flustered about. had worked on the guy's wife and she died and then he came to the hospital and shot everything. Maybe because I remember that. Mm couple of fights. Two thousand. Where um where Griffin will suddenly lapse into Frank from House of Cards. Well, I opened it up and sh should I should I say what was in there? Uh well, I I mean uh to let let's just talk about it uh uh now, but uh there are many of these on uh Amazon, kind of like how there's Um but So you you sent me and I said I got this in the mail and it is oh you're watching Station Eleven, we could talk about that too.

It says challenge. Oh here it is. No, no, not not this, but a actually I don't even think they were a a listener, just a a fellow nerd on Mastodon was like, oh, check these out. And I was uh joking about like uh who knows? You can talk to each other, but that doesn't really make it a telephone. to uh anything that has a USB C uh port or an HTMI port. That's familiar but wrong. keyboard. and their other Oh I liked oh is that is are you talking about the one with Alexa or the I'm talking about the one am I am I am I remembering this wrong it's the Jordan Peel movie terrified of the water. You know. Cashew nut. So they arrived at him. And Daniel, I never know how to say his name, but Kalia. Uh oh, oh, oh, well thing for you to watch, uh not to be a nerd, but like and y hopefully this will lead you to want to watch some YouTube videos about it.

I'm just here to tell you, buddy, episode seven, strap in. Would your would your feeling about this movie change if you knew that three watches are like I fucking hated I couldn't get past the teeth on the railroad, la la la. Long story short, like I said, the third time. Sometimes I'm the one okay so you're like this is a Nolan movie and recently I've been fucking sense the movie does not make sense I suddenly understand so and appreciate so much more about Christopher Nolan. to do and so what the what's that John Syracuse line from Pixar success is a great deodorant or something like that. Yeah. And like he just really does not want the boat to look fake. the tech uh to make a realistic looking uh y y you know if you went to let's say you really you want to say Pinewood Studios, like you went to the place Kubrick.

shot in in London. Because I was blinded by the fact that, oh, I guess Christopher McNolan makes really good movies, mostly about time, the concept of time, and they're all great. This is an unconventional challenge. You're my last podcast of the week, and I'm usually you're my last like official work you work thing of the week, and I'm usually pretty like shagged out. Have you made a bespoke collection? would have been. This is him. Um, but but also I d uh there aren't many suggestions I want to read because th th they're Hundred and something, two hundred and something things. Like there's a there's very uh th th there's like not horror as in like uh Eldritch horror or as in like that would be hard to do or or as in like what are you even thinking?

It's just bad. Go to a church supper. And that's the thing, is like using uh an Android phone, which I'm done with, it would literally need to save for itself, that's weird. I uh wh wh I why was it weird? Okay. Oh yeah, the the ads on podcasts really think that I love sports and betting on things. And it's about um 1882 New York City, old money versus new money. There, you've got a lot of TV girls. I know that you like It's not about coming. I would say that she is far out of his league in a few years. who is 20 years her junior. Sculpt? I'm not sure. God damn you half Japanese girls. Should list all of uh the people who worked on the show. Yeah, that sounds like a big say eight situation. And uh talking about it, I I realized I kind of released my n not you know what I've my my very minor Pinkerton trauma and now I've I've been listening to it and like d damn very happy to r uh read these.

like specifically in my case, uh I I I have applauded my my phot place, which is called Yummy Yummy, Irving Street, they're the best. of foodborne illness in particular. like a all-stop shop, but for the cools, right? No. The I I I truly don't know. Yeah. clamp on to it's like Jesus fuck I I almost wrote this the other day on Mastodon and I stopped myself because who cares? That app now exists to make you do in all so many of things apart from what you're here to do right now. about like special offers and like you know pop-up about with the pop-up ads? Uh but you can never give them enough money because every time you go to the New York Times, you get a thing at the fucking bottom. That's like the size of three of his shits.

Brooke, you're gonna be fine. Well actually it was two thousand and one but alright. Um well uh listen, I don't know. And I opened it up, and it was from you. It's kind of upsetting. I um we'll put that in notes. last week in the after show just being like I don't we don't we don't know what to do and cause you were getting sick. Huh. Natalie Wood and Christopher Walken called Brainstorm. I don't I don't have them yet. Yep. And the And there's the scene where like there's the people at the house and they're there with like their doppelgangers. And on. Yeah. And then there's this huge like hill, like with this with this big, like this dangerous looking, very steep hill. Slope, no joke. On the third viewing, not great, but now guess what?

Oh the canon the con canonical line uh the five or fandom line. Yeah, there's uh I I just wanted uh serve Jesus Christ. No no no no no that's not what I said. they're they're kinda good. Okay. Mm I know. Is there a second day of the month sort of uh I guess tradition that's as wholesome? Mm, no. Oh, which is nice. Yeah, yeah, I uh okay, okay. Because it's dress up like a like like a teacher day. I I mean I still this is the thing, I never ch I uh like old old navy pr pretty much or old navy. Like JK Rowling suddenly uh uh got uh like uncancelled because I don't know w what's going on with the world mostly because of uh t Twitter. Oh, I know I've learned a lot about like the nine things I should not do with an annuity.

Um, I miss this a little bit. Of anything having to do with Ron DeSantis and the diarrhea plane? Uh yeah he yes he blew up he he takes the bomb from Meredith walks away and then But maybe Christina Ricci is in that house a hospital's more than a building I forgot how how gay that is. Oh, that is a future challenge. Yeah. all of the various weirdly named orange g glasses uh that for to block out lights. They are essentially an AR product, a dumb let's say a dumb AR product. Yeah, unless I don't I don't know, but that's what it feels like, you know. Oh god. Which is the that rant on Mastodon I had about like how I think there are there are some things, at least in my estimation, there are pieces of art, especially cinema.

Two watches is where it really starts to click. But like my the thing I walked away with after a third viewing of Tenet. And the line that is currently my Twitter bio, which is also currently my favorite Werner Herzog line, I will share this with you and then we'll do the chat. Wait, wait, Twitter or Mastodon? Like I was watching Burden of Dreams this morning because that's the kind of thing I do and just like but okay the point is the point is third time I finish tennis I go okay now Les blancs or Le Blanc. The w uh wait wait wait tenant or or inner interstellar Interstellar is my favorite Nolan movie. You do that constantly. The challenge this week was to challenge us because uh like we said before Friday.

Backpacks outside. Oh god, they must have been. You have no money, Miss Granger. Th there were some people like like uh Cameron like Bogw Bogwanch at bogwatch. Uh and uh a friend of the show, but Ponders. And others are really good. Sports gamble. No, uh it's just funny they s said that gambling on something was a good challenge because I tried to get y you and Merlin to gamble on the other. Well we we tried to do it on November 1st and it didn't work out. Really? But like, oh my fucking god, defector every I'm logged out every single time. Oh I see. And like that's weird. that God this almost looks like something you would use to see like a body part you're not supposed to look at. They're totally blacked out.

I want It says mine were delivered. It's so upsetting. Yeah, yeah. I too it has been imagined It has been they've mo almost all been the the French airport slash hovel slash museum dream. I should have lied. W so much interrelated plot stuff unless you're a very careful storyteller. Don't look it up. He also likes Hughie Lewis. There there's oh you can hear the garbage hello Mr. What is it? Oh, Neppo Baby. Uh fuck fuck it's one uh Oh fuck El Scorcho El Scorcho El Scorcho girl Wait is a pervert This this is making me well w when I talked about how I didn't uh enjoy Pinkerton as uh much anymore. Merlin is the Alex, Merlin is the Alex, Merlin is the Alex. Yeah. Is this the show or should we start the can we start the show?

desired Alex. Now here's the part from the third paragraph that's that's the part I really wanted Madeline to read. Because you know what I mean? And and so th this has been uh uh i in as its own channel, it has been in the spreadsheet for a while, but a few weeks ago a listener was like And this family is so upsetting. And that it's recent. But I often think, are you sure you really watched it? Big success. I get that. you know, like the bell curve is pretty much like a spike. I don't know. It's not being horny. I I had a lot of going on. And he's super annoying. You know, uh Jeff said immediately he knew that he wanted to have him back on the show, and I wonder Yes, yes. Oh my god. Um where but you know what it's kind of our it's kind of our shit because it's Trump adjacent and uh and it also involves that time someone had diarrhea all the way up and down the length of the airplane.

The Silver Linings Playbook Boy. Some of them you watch might join in. Go go on. There's one gold. I d I I don't know why people understand you do this all the time. Oh uh well there are uh funny ones like uh I'll read these two hundred entries. Run Nathan run. But you know, it's partly about Madame Butterfly. Or hitachis. Like I think that movie is in retrospect. Mmm, really pretty much 90 degrees. I just r have always enjoyed mirrors and, you know, perspective. Well, and you'll notice stuff in Nope. Without machines. And so the success of Windows made them overlook a lot of stuff they should have been paying attention to. And and we should say this is nineteen eighty-two, so it's not as if like sure or just do it with CGI.

Unlocked Christopher Nolan because everything he's had up till now has been a big as is and I'm whatever I just so you know this quote that I'm giving this this this off-color quote is from the 1976. Yeah, yeah. Oh are you are you just going through 'em now? Well I I always thought we should re return to old challenges. I think his name's Tracy Letz. Fuck oh God. I'm gonna be a little bit of a fancy butthole for a minute. Or something I've never heard of. Uh clearly a lot of them had uh like you like put effort into it and I didn't expect that and it made me very Well basically through thrift stores. Max, did you think about all those words? Uh no, it it is electronic i i it is con computer related.

Final finally. And I'm like, yeah, but it's a little low resolution and if you just want it as a a m like 1080 monitor, it's pretty good. I'm so tired of the stress of setting up. It's it's cool. Come play with us Merlin forever and ever. And the final tab is form responses because I put on uh mastodon and and well is it gonna screw it up? Mmm. The guy where Hollywood couldn't figure out what to do with him for a long time. Oh fuck, like um the the it was a real family uh the Dream Warriors. Let's keep this on the short side because this could all fall apart any second. Oh they're called lazy readers. I'm glad they weren't a Trader Joe's bag with Madeline's house keys. I thought there's a little bit of like I was not into it.

It's really cool and sophisticated and effective. And it's a line on Robert Duvall. You're finally letting the dust be your daddy. And you know that Anne Hathaway, people are hard on her. So I guess I'm gonna read them. Mrs. Do they uh I'm uh you said that her dad's uh uh yeah no I just let a let that one go. Yeah. It's like it's what I really want from a reality show. You go to Amazon and you order, I don't know, Bluetooth headphones or whatever. Maybe, yeah, yeah. Like another person who's excited about ARVR stuff. El Eleanor Coppolo was making a movie about whilst Francis was making I would not call it a movie about quote the making of. It does not make sense. Hold on, I need to my mouth is dry.

Knowyourbookie. I bet Trader Oh, oh, I would have done it outside an Apple store for sure, actually. His campaign statement prophesied that soon, quote, Ron is going to wish for more pudding and in flight biohazard stories instead of having to deal with his shoes. I like You know, remember Ben Ben uh Ben Bradley at the Washington Post coined that phrase uh in all the president's men, that phrase non-denial, denial. Anyway, we're we're doing a podcast. I almost called him Tom Spacey. Sorry. Have you ever gotten a South American steamboat? They're just bad. Cynthia Nixon is wonderful in it. Oh fuck, which they put you in this crazy brace and like stretch your leg. You get you get all the fixins.

Yeah. You you sent me a very funny screenshot of a very funny article about a very funny conspiracy theory. I love her so much. I was like, I love you so much. Uh-huh. Well, it was the problem with Microsoft. So when they're touring the Freeport and you can't hear all that important plot stuff if you don't have subtitles on, that's not an accident. Weber. I mean we could have recorded if you sat in a McDonald's parking lot and used their Wi-Fi. I don't know what commercials are like, and then every time I do, it's a jump scare. Block this topic. Is that what it's stepped they st they're sorry? Brooke Shields, uh, it was is uh who by the way if you didn't see her thing, her her that thing about toothparter thing on Hulu about her, wow, fucking great.

And so like I finally watched it all and the first time I watched it all the way through, I was kind of like, you've got to be fucking kidding me. Oh, we got so close to not quoting a ton of things. They i oh also lots of people want us to bring back the holiday party. Oh, I thought it oh, I don't think you have. The that whole season though just or or not the whole season, the whole show breaks so many stereotypes as Mm-hmm. Do you uh you you alluded to this, but y you you said it might come up on the the show, but do you wanna talk about how you became a they them for a Monday? Oh wow. No. Like I told you, this is nothing for an Alex. She's like, no, I haven't had a chance to read the one. Because you gotta imagine they're on your head.

No, no. That would have been funny. Anyways, the third time. Yeah, I've been wanting to go to a local church. Listen, it raised uh $4,000 uh uh dollars for children. 117. It's got Baransky, it's got Nathan uh I was about to say Nathan Fillion, but that's not right. But you could be a Peggy. I let I let my just so we know, defector just I'm just gonna tell you this and our listeners and whatever. That's weird. Well, and it's like it's not anything that is you could not put this into a recipe and and tell people, but like the idea of this door opening And my pulse is like I said, my pulse has been like 80. You know, pick pick a lock. Yes, any sort of sports. I have never thought that. Exactly. Or the one with internet could be putting it in there.

Yeah. Nothing honorable ha can happen here. Uh but but I'm just gonna say this here, I am not running a 5k for this podcast. I just I just want to look at Carrie Kuhn doing things. Um and um you know who else is in it? Because Comcast is doing some kind of enhancement to the system. Well, we don't drink that anymore. Oh no, you do that? I don't know the internet, you're gonna have to get it. Like he really seems like he's in specifically Django Unchained. I hate it so interesting. Almost all so software gets popular and appears good because it's uniquely capable of helping you do one thing that's very important to you right now. Unfortunately, there's a rod through your left eye that's attached to another child actor.

Because of because of Kevin Spacey. I mean I don't know what you what we're what we're doing here. We we married very similar uh uh w women, so maybe watch out and if uh how you feel about yeah, just just uh Like is that like a fisheye or what is that? But just yeah, yeah, you know, like that movie and Billy loved it, but that movie freaked Billy out. Like you can and Star Wars, like you can get a very, very, very large sound sound stage where like very gifted people can make. 30 p. Like a delay early in the project will necessarily lead to a delay later in the project. I like Uniqlo more than I expected. Trump, who notably declared himself a svelt 215 pounds upon surrendering at the Fulton County Jail, um apparently foresees more Tootsie trouble down the line for De Sanctus.

This is the Amy Clomba like O Amy Clobuchar eating salad with a fork, which I remember Max loving. Don't apologize to please your enemies. Yeah, they play racquetball together. Two thousand geez. I don't have the I don't want get well soon. Like you can you can hold well the idea is I I understand this, you can hold your book at at a comfortable position. Altering reaction every kind of I mean na that's like saying does that how is that how time travel uh really works? W uh uh uh um well, whatever. Mmm. He works with uh Mrs. I've been paying for the New York Times since 2016. That is a after show. Colon. There are there are ripoffs on Alibaba. Almost. I just don't know how to say it's I just Oh uh uh quite a few times, yes.

I know there's backlash against her and it bums me out. Unconventional fancy. Okay. Well uh you can if you want. Some of them are really good and uh the the rest are horrid. You got all you know and of course the bean sprouts. And so they go and they talk to people who who on purpose make lifts for men. Fuck I know a friend of the show, Will Summer, works worked at the Daily Base for a while. Oh, it is so that's that was the first television show I watched via Netflix and uh Oh really? I maybe they're correct, but they feel like, oh, it's it's it's so goddamn weird. I I don't want to just flip through these and read 'em unless you d you've got like a few that you're gonna present or what's uh well that's the uh that is what a responsible person Um these are these are are good.

Oh indeed. Yes. No, but I'm in I'm at like in a coliseum. Did you ever see that? Sorry. You can't understand. 5 in I uh how about how about Kirsten how about little Kiki oh my god uh Like a a lesbi well it's it's a spectrum. The All right I will start it. Oh, we didn't even tell our listeners. No Taylor Swift. Except for these two portals on the front that contain angled mirrors that are that are, you know, basically looking down at Lazy readers, read at a 90 degree angle. Oh no, there's I don't think so. And and like a yes and to to all of those. Tracy Letz. Uh probably. He wore a three-piece suit. I don't know where it is right now. Yes. And like I I order enough stuff from Amazon that I I Madeline always knows what her deliveries are.

Maybe if you just just start standing up peeing. The uh yeah, the accent model. We just start putting out the show on Thursdays again. Okay. I seemed mostly okay. com s oh slash three fifty-four. DeSantis is not believed to have been involved, either directly or indirectly, in the September incident where in a passenger's explosive diarrhea This this felt like uh also part of the Daily Beast just try trying to again bring Splatter into the discourse. Don't you wanna like go you know what I mean? I really do. Yes, I sent them quite recently. I love his stuff, but it's not all meant to be something you just watch on a plane while you're enjoying some nuts. No, no, no, no, no, no. My dear friend from the internet, Henry T.

I am uh I've got my chappies, my little AirPods in and I'm recording through my telephone on 5G and we'll just see how that holds up. Fix your shit. That's exactly shits like every other week. No. I'm just thinking, oh now I'm gonna put it in the challenge sheet because the challenge for this this is not this week's challenge, we'll do that in a second. So what made you watch it again? I'm not trying to be trying to be that person. m. You've triggered me. Do you need to do anything on your end? And Alexandra Marie Saint Lucie Cox. Trump just likes making fun of fat people because that's what she do. Okay, okay. There's never a Jerry Falwell Jr. As my baby used to say. Yeah, this is this is kind of what inspired uh uh other than us Yep.

Right? Yes. That's what I think. So like we had to reschedule erectifs, which is fine. There's been at least two very, very like I think of James the Gravedigger. Let's write that down. This is exactly what I would do, but better. She's getting ready to do this one-woman show and like and so just just so you don't think something she had a grand mall seizure. That's a bull brave, bull brave stance. I was wandering through the hallway doing the things that I do, power pottering around the house, and and I see an Amazon package. I you would have been even more of an Alex if I was like October twelfth. Microsoft Yeah. No need to bathtub outside for you. And I'm like, huh? com or book. Aster. You are just not on television.

I I did the click. Um oh fuck me, I can't get it. Oh, for sure, for sure. This this is a Grace Anatomy episode. Why do we give uh the the the bad not the bad uh thank you for your money, everybody. I which one oh oh yeah there there are a lot um oh read read to the first five challenge According to the the I know you don't get advertisements on the TV you don't have, but I'm given to believe that a lot of people bet on sports right now. It's about getting a girl. You know, maybe he is very talented. Really? How cute's a Peggy? And like having to figure that out and you're like, uh Max, is there a way that we could get you to record somewhere that there's not like quite so much It's not like we have like a dedicated area, but like, you know, whoever picks up the mail can like Yes, yes.

No, I you know, I'm the wrong I'm the wrong person now. I've been very ill. In my case with Tenet, Tenet went from being, oh my god, I'm so fucking angry, to one of my favorite movie. Oh man, I'm already there. And it is I still can't find the name of the family. Oh god, we were friends for a while. But but perhaps most saliently of all, it's so emblematic of the stupid I don't miss title. I I don't I I don't know. I don't care. Oh no no no. Low-tech AR glasses from Alexandra Cox. on Wednesday. What the fuck? You you're you're just so I get this right, I want to make sure I'm quoting it correctly. I just wanna show you have somewhere that you're going with this. But it's got, of course, the star above everything else.

But the big star is Carrie Kuhn, who is my probably my TV girlfriend. Okay. It's the ones that starts with the gargle. He had a lot of special things. Also we got the bunch last night that and I did not uh expect them. Yes, this is the we're s we're starting to. Anchors. Is that the implication? The fucking New York Times, who God bless them, I heard they're doing great with their subscriptions. And I finally did see one of those interviews like where, you know, where he Nolan now admits that dialogue in most cases is he treats it like a sound effect. Some of them are really good and some of them are horrid. He's that guy who's usually a bad guy in movies. Oh goodness. I have to look that up, but so I figured no no offense to yummy, yummy, sometimes the bullet has your name on it.

Really? No Taylor Swift. But she used to do shit like I can't find my license and keys. I think my headphones are gonna run out. No, what's his name, Nathan? Wait, Nathan. Well I I'd have to ask Dr. Oh no, no, no, no. And as it turns out, like she had dr drunk like I guess way too much water and she had like a salt imbalance. Oh, she's it's the like cheap. Lazy readers. You look straight ahead, which means now I am looking down. And it's it's it's like that. They probably knew they were gonna do this. I can't end the show talking to our listeners. Where you're at peak, Alex most people know and have to deal with from twenty twenty-one. Please stop putting anything important in a bag of stuff you just bought.

The names are so fucking stupid. You've triggered me. Didn't I go over this on this program last week? Why is it weird? He had a handlebar mustache, a cowboy hat. That's not that funny. He uh was very good in seven. And the crux of this story is, and in a minute I'll describe to you what you sent to me, but I, if you like, but I have no idea. Yeah. But yes. The critical one was the third time. Uh hurts. Patrick Bateman? And copying? Like, it's pretty interesting. So it's a oh, ooh, I see what you mean. No. And so at one point they're asking him, Well, like, so yeah, but like did you need to get a real steamboat and then have actual local South American people drag it over a mountain? Title. You're just let it be daddy.

Mmm mmm. Um it doesn't end in in double time, but we'll wanna come straight to mind. That was uh Brady's Bits. Would honestly rather have Defector be pay-only and uh just Right I was up early today and I sent this to my wife. No, because he is probably the best part of that movie. And and so as you can probably infer, or if y'all haven't uh are not super down with Warner Hertzlog, there there this means that and and he's very he's very into this idea of like sort of verisimilitude. Hold. Where do you want to start? Not into monogamy. Yesterday, November first, right? The the shorts like Yeah. Guess who loves Interstellar now? I know nothing about this. Knowyourbookie. You like a lot of girls.

But it and it it's about like the like you know, the the blur of success after the blue album and sort of usual disillusionment. You got you got the uh the the the sliced up peppers you got uh And he has this wonderful teacher uh who's just so fucking weird. I've got it uh uh yeah, yeah, um challenge spreadsheet. Patreon. Yeah, the the dad from Friday Night Lights was blown up You just lay flat. Context. It bums me out that people are hard on her. We're just trying to loosen some stuff up. Oh, that's cool. She plays Patrick Wilson's wife in that couple. Mm-hmm. Uh Matt has one that's got a bunch of little bandos on it, actually. But uh Marlin, how are we recording this episode? Sorry, honey, I gotta go record a podcast with the guy from the funny card game.

Article from Daily Beast jumping in. That is a future challenge. Huh. Oh okay, wait wait wait. Uh in just uh prima fascia, like that this was a No, okay. Um the director's name is escaping me, but it's a film about Because the audience would know. The beth the the Oh god my mouth is we need to finish this episode mostly because Dah you just don't get to hear the click anymore. I I I think I had gastroenteritis, but suffice to say that I That doesn't work. And uh b because you know, there recently uh these new glasses that are very cool were uh r released and but they are m very expensive. I tried the first version a while ago, just talking to people on Mastodon, like I I don't know if we've talked about this.

Like this is this is bad. The problem with Microsoft in the 90s was they had so much success with all these things they never needed to get good at the internet. Well you're all friends of the show. It worked and uh ch children uh cancerous children got money. Like I still like the idea of like having a quarterly or twice a year catch up episode on like follow-up from previous challenges. Hey, hey folks, if you uh This is our current family show. I want to think about her and her husband, the playwright, being happy together. Oh my god, fucking so she oh no comment. Mm-hmm. It's so fucking stupid and so fucking smart. What other songs uh sounds are uh of the era? Hmm. No Taylor Swift. They stepped it up.

The main dude. That's weird. It was a bad joke. You're seeing something. I fucking loved that movie. I couldn't get past that several times. Uh uh Why do we give the thank you for the money Except my my wife was bullied by a Liz. Oh man. Hello, everyone. It's super fucked up. So they weren't there that long. Yes, Le Blanc. And so they had a boat and then there was concern like do we need to get a second boat? Um the oh Saver for the show. I feel I felt like g gross having uh the find small end in double time. I miss it uh this part a little bit. Oh yeah. I hate it. Um this is such a mess. The glasses are here. I've been you w you don't even want to get into the same fucking zip code as my dreams for the last Like there's there's so much payoff in that show.

Sorry, it's true. I found I want to talk about Cameron. Casey says watch station eleven. There's so many Kardashians. And I'm glad they said that because but it's the kind of clarification that actually kind of becomes an unclarification because you're like, why did you need to say that? Right? Oh, it's it's absolutely just That show what w was it did it air in like two thousand and s Yeah, it it really uh patreon. And you know what? Please. Hey, everybody. Do you start with ones you you uh you particularly like or that you think are particularly strange or uh That is. I have been fucked. Please. It's a lot like, if you like, it's like um Hearts of Darkness. Garbage Truck. How do we how do we close an unusual section like this?

We got an Apple store, buddy. You can get your iPhone repair. Cheek to ch And the ads are such dog shit on Apple News. Okay. It could have been yesterday or it could have been months ago. So your eyes are looking straight ahead, but because of the mirrors Oh. Which was fine. I I think I think I said uh he strikes me as uh uh being uh approximately as charismatic as a bag of wet laundry. Not Buddy Garratty, but you're talking about the guy who shot McBodie. Is that I think that's the that's the on label use for these Lazy readers. I'm sure I'm sure it could get them less than like $400, which is what they are. It's got that feeling almost of like, uh God, they just mentioned this on blank check, but it reminds me I've been thinking a lot about Texas Chainsaw Massacre lately, which But you know, any of those movies, Interstellar, blah, you know the movies.

I was just curious if there was a development. Mm-hmm. Famously dog stories. And over his we're looking at him, and over his right shoulder we see a full-sized operating steamboat on the river because they had to bring a steamboat. And at the end of the episode, where I'm usually like completely out of, you know, com. Patrick, I know this guy. Dr. Get another drink, Marlin. Yeah. Well uh I uh No no I'm being silly. It's impossibly disorienting. So they're slightly dis so are they slightly distorted or is it just you don't you don't have them you don't Okay. Patrick Bateman. I actually did take a lot of notes on this. Well I don't know if you know this, but bean sprouts apparently are a very frequent source.

It's that's where my kid gets a lot of his clothes. I'm gonna read that again. com slash do by Friday. She wakes up an amb in an ambulance and someone's holding her hand. This is fun. Where did I buy recently? Um my mom would say, Har Harlan Pepper, you quit naming nuts. Because I'm like that. I know. It's less annoying than clapping into a microphone. I think so. Um we couldn't record, it was a mess. Interesting. I uh this gives me a chance to read this a third time. And and I'll and I'll bet you, like he does, he eats a lot of hamburgers. I don't think hey That's weird. Kids with money only. Uh what's his name? You do it to me every time. What's on it? Uh yeah, I'm Universal Theme Park. No Taylor Swift.

Nope, I was not. You get that weird, that dumbass thing at the bottom that pops up that wants you to do something besides what you're there to do. And the idea is here here here's the whole selling point. Like the way that the VR version, it's like this movie from like nineteen eighty one. Fancy. And we've got this spreadsheet on Google Sheets that is now over 1,000 lines. Uh oh yes. Good for the You know those movies, uh they're not very good, but they're entertaining. And she's on the Gilded Age. Don about this, but it I've heard that if you get sick from food, it is often because of produce. So all day yesterday when you and I were supposed to record and I was supposed to do a lot of other things Yeah, he's like, hey everybody, y'all know me from Survivor.

But also don't think that like, oh, I like this app. You should read it. Uh the reason Warren Ambrose, how cute was she, huh? Wait, wait, wait, well the glasses you're describing that are very expensive, w what do they do? Like, are you sure you really watched it? Um everything else has been a big fat big titted hit. So too It is. Thank you for knowyourbookie. Like I'm I'm a good pooper. Um and you know, where people find show notes for this episode, Alex. Like the way his the balls of his feet land in this one area which tells me that like and you're like, oh fucking eh. And like I still and this is a this is a grouber thing that I'm gonna, you know I think that's right. Same goes for packages.

So so in a future one of these when you get your special Oh sorry, then the big question, duh. You could not a plastic boat and the slope is no joke after. Oof. This week he is they Wait, that was this is already the show? I'm all in on Taskmaster. We're recording this in an unusual way. Where you have to like uh pay expenses ten dollars a month. Okay, let's go. I treasure the fact your spouse doesn't listen to it. I handed you something. You know what? I'm sorry, I'm I'm moved away from the mic. Why do we give the bad part to the kids with money? I just we we I just talked to former uh uh engineer Cameron. That's an energy drink, Alex. Nathan Lane? It's my journey, you know? Let let me go to my uh Apple News.

Oh he's wearing shrimping boots or he's wearing these funny They didn't just they didn't just intentionally kill hundreds of babies. Wait, well where where is okay. The yeah, yeah, the main dude. Mm-hmm. Oh, they are very, very warm. I ordered them on October 30th. I have not been involved. Because of this goddamn one of the scullery maids is now my TV girlfriend. Hi everybody. They've got the cone the large cones. You get a dick bar that pops up at the bottom saying, hey. You love being the podcast top. I know. And this type this typeface is it looks like you know that that comic company that sells uh comic fonts at a cheap price once a year, that Andy and Occo font. Good. Yes. It's made by the guy who did uh Downtown Abbey.

What's on it? Yeah, Peggy. I don't that's not a flex, it's just I d I don't watch Oh my god, I was gonna say, is it Frank? Yeah, I I won't see them because there'll be tweets, but I don't want to see uh people with pictures of a dead Brooke Shields. You're like, oh no, this is not a room. Jordan MTL just sticks his head out. Yes. And and like yeah, of course the question comes up. Well, I but I don't know the way in which you like. I think I told you this. There's a lot about it that's a little scary. Um we could talk about these glasses. And so I I grab the package and it's to me. Actually, god damn it, we don't have time for this. Partly because it was gross, because I was like, what are we doing here?

I don't love this movie, but now I feel like I get Christopher Nolan. Anyway, but there's one point where they're where he's interviewing Herzog about this and he's such an interesting guy. And also I think her role in that movie is critically important. We've got a synagogue close by I still don't know if that's good. So many good people in. Who's the Alex this week? Yeah, definitely. I I haven't used it at TV. I I won't say I feel less crazy, but I I th am not surprised. Yeah, Patrick Bateman has a layman's poster over his throat. It it r it raised. Um what I'm uh uh going uh to as you would say, like w the point of this And he's a playwright who's also an actor. Oh my god, you've got a ceramicist.

Yeah, yes. Trump and so now Trump is making fun of Ron DeSantis 'cause there's a hot meme about Ron DeSantis's shoes. Let me be frank. Well so like our our household is pretty good about Uh uh, there's I forget which which one I sent you the uh Vinmax Ven Prism. Why aren't they here? I have not seen it and it's incredible first of all, like Kiki Palmer. Watch this three-hour movie. I'm not talking about you guys. So so Pinkerton is about a lot of things, some of the problematics. It's a collared sh button-up shirt with a regular pattern. Or think about the way things look with Robocop. And I'm like, let's just like a child. It was my pick because it had the most variations of any I could find.

I mean, I've been so goddamn stupid. And of course there's still uh Ta Taylor Swift Go go for it. But it w what was the name of the product? But like imagine jokey like you've just been to the optometrist class. This. Uh challenge each other, challenge yourselves. Yeah, I don't I don't think that is engineer Cameron. I thought you would prepare like here's three funny ones. Well wait, go go on. I have already done it. We got an Apple store. And like I just I sometimes I just it's a sport. I I respect that. And it says it says here there's a note enclosed. So like I'm looking straight down ahead at on my at you know, sitting at my desk and I see my Uh I've said many times, you will be made fun of, I think.

Well if he's not, he's missing his best bet. How's that so? This is Do By Friday, a weekly challenge podcast with Alex Cox and Merlin Mann. Have you listened to My Friday yet? Well because I know. But I this was way more fun than I thought it would be. And it's uh like a rogues gallery of of great actors. I don't have the internet so I can't look at it. Ran for 47 seasons. He uh Kaiser Soze. And I I'm gonna be that guy for just a second here. Oh, I'm so so daddy. Like there's not it a reverse. Uh recite a poem. Yeah, you cancerous children. Woo! But you just get stuff and you get that familiar Amazon uh ass looking package. Just just uh anyway, I apologize. Oh, the one with the family and the yeah, yeah, yeah.

What is happening? Another movie I love. com. So I'm a lot of people are gonna think Buranski's the star, which is fine. He was on he was in um This uh apparently it it's the conjuring universe. Fuck. Oh that's nice. Ron is going to wish for more pudding and in-flight biohazard stories. Christina Ricci was the guest and she was the nurse when they were trying to diffuse the bomb in the person. Yeah, that's the guy from No. If all you've ever had is great success. Funny hurts old. I must love a lot. Yeah, yeah. Um actually she was waking up and I was already up and I I was like, I'm gonna read you something. What would happen if you made a movie that you kinda had to watch three times? I like Les Blanc.

Yeah, yeah. Ash Ponders, I know that name. Some of them are are are good, and then some of them are not as good. I know. That was my that was my pick for our kid's name I was happy to reschedule erectifs, but like and then we couldn't do our show or or or I couldn't do those other shows and I had to move stuff around and like now I'm getting oh the term was compression. Yeah. This is me and Matt every morning. I was like, is there any is there any chance it's because you put your change, your wallet, and your keys all into the bag from Walgreens? I was under caffeinated. You put on these glasses that look pretty much like normal close to normal glasses and you can connect it Finally. So uh I I want people to wonder, did you have a brilliant challenge or just Hey, thanks everybody to for sending It's not important, but it's important to me that you know this.

I'm a good barfer. Have you heard this, Alex? Yeah. Every time I come back to use the thing I've been paying for for two years, I was a day zero subscriber to Defector. Mostly Amazon, right? I think she's very gifted. Miss Granger Miss Granger, your spell is poor. Most has a lot of Beth's short. And by the click I mean the So I can't talk about. So little little lore res screens on your eyes for like sub five hundred dollars. And uh I was like, huh We we got real close, but uh alright, dig dig dog So basically like like so uh this is quick, but it uh it's important. And I looked into that story uh yeah. Ron is going to wish for more pudding and in-flight biohazard stories. Oh, why do you uh why do you think that?

But that was a often kind of funny. It's it's fucking w I assume it's really fucking uh. Uh uh wait, so okay. Yeah, Nathan Lane. How stupid is this? We got a Trader Joe's. Oh, interesting. I can't get my fucking family into Taskmaster. Like I just I'm so put off Uh no, it is i his name is technically Frankenstein. You I was didn't enjoy it the first I never talked to this The thing I walked away with is it's easy to love all of Christopher Nolan's movies because none of them suck. Okay, all right. Have you done did we get any of this? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I I know. What it doesn't matter. And she looks so much like Vera Farmigo. Oh god. Not in a while. He can't he can't get around without an old man Kane.

This is already I uh everything. So that was as the English say, right out. I I'm not watching Survivor Live, so I don't r uh uh like that was the last time I fucking season. Mine haven't even arrived yet. Mm-hmm. I tried these from a I bought these from a hover hover com slash do by Friday. But no. You know who I mean. It's got the bald guy from Mindhunter. Daily beasts. Now, before I get to the next the the the clarification, w w were you aware And you know I don't use that word often. You're welcome for my service, everybody. What are you talking about? I got the internet, but I'm not gonna use it. No, it's what's it called? Oh that's Who's the Alex this week? Hello. Like baby gap for people in their 20s Three five four pew But like there's something like almost you know that that Cory Doctor thing about I l Wait, I l I love being the No, no no no no no no no no Love being the podcast bottom No, he okay, no no no.

Yeah, it it is a I'm terrified of it. Um things that I don't understand The guy from uh you know the guy from all the movies, from the producers. For supporting Do by Friday and all the great shows. But uh And they ask like nine people to please go evaluate photos. 215 pounds, my ass. Uh y you know that's why our cat is nam well Oh, all these people in the room together, oh no, no. But to do this, they have to bring a full-size steamboat over the mountain. Oh, I see, because of turfs. Daily Beast and Defector, two things like I've been very happy to support over the years, because both of them had um what's his head? Mmm. But like we don't have a lot of unopened Amazon packages and I go, huh?

That would be an un Oh, I just The third time is where I went, oh. That I that's that's very much on me. The playwright Tracy Letz is Hello. So I'm trying to get a selfie for you Your ridiculous inbred ginger family makes me ill. I love that. I'm trying to get a photo for oh sweet Maui onion. And like that doesn't happen by accident. Since that Cameron's been busy. Mm-hmm. Oh what remains of you that smith finish oh thank you Brian is that is that BW our friend Brian it looks like And the more of those delays that accumulate, the more delayed you are. I I actually would not uh I You know how like there's that gay guy that was on two seasons and both times he left after a couple episodes in a few.

Maybe they just get sad from a hangnail. There's a running feature on Blank Check right now where they're doing the Fincher movies. Maybe we should save that for Mm-hmm. My goodness. And I thought It's like the sign they put around nuclear waste. I know sometimes that I'm the dummy. Is there anything from No, that's just me, that's just my body. Alex, from Wednesday through essentially what is today? I'm just At my McDonald's? Uh I think of the guy who's on this season who was also on last season, that black guy. It's Have you listened to Do My Friday yet? You get Amazon packages and like daddy's gotta take the paper towels down the garage or like So we said to you guys, you fucks, you magnificent bastards, you happy few, you band of they.

No, no, no, no. Nathan for Nathan Beverford Forrest. Supposedly Ron DeSantis one time ate pudding with his fingers on a plane and and All you do all day long is talk about what people you imagine on the internet like or don't like about things you like. Maybe uh But Nathan Nathan uh Nathan Actor Um no and remember at the end it goes into double time. That if you get sick from food, we always look at the pork or we look at the eggs or we look at the chicken. So I'm finally cocking the walk. Like I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Tracy Letz, homicide. It'll it'll it'll That's all fine. They've got the bird. It would be a good idea. And so basically I had no idea. I'm very happy to hear that. And boy, I do not like the side they've chosen.

I'm happy to pay for it. They're on your head, you're seeing something. Um Jordan Peel's Oh god that movie is so that's so good. Or the guy from um No, um Burden of Dreams. I met him on the baggage claim in the corner. I don't know. Oh. I am oh nope, I'm doing it. Lanking Brooklyn And so he's talking about how the audience would know. The dust No, you just said are you being are you being a little bit of a silly Billy right now? Uh uh the people who do like Annabelle and Yeah. Oh my god, that would be such a bad way to end it. I close. And so he dr he dressed as his um uh his environmental science teacher. Mm-hmm. Oh, ooh, ding ding ding ding Like we're honestly both the Alex today, but I'm at peak.

They they're stepping it up. Oh my god. I feel like I would just get such a wang and headache from the Mm-hmm. Oh here's here's my new game. I feel like they'd have stronger Wi-Fi. It's it's But you eventually wake up one day and arrive at this point where like Originally in black and white. Not not the like NTSC lines, but like the like distortion. Yeah. I'm like, Holy shit. And okay, so this is my once a month where I'm gonna be a little bit of a Uh-huh. You've got to be kidding me. No crumbs left. You oh uh All I needed was that was all I needed. Why? But uh don't On the epitome I was here last time and I don't want to make a big deal about it, but whatever, whatever. The the thing is I could see have some butterbeer.

Whereas Twitter I used to go and just block ads. It's the actor Bradley Cooper. I don't remember. You did hand me something. I never know. It's it definitely feels different. If you've only heard that. So this is a story about a madman. Yeah. And everything's constantly used food delivery apps in Instacart especially lately are so sweaty about pop-ups. Yes, it is Challenge each other. Uh But the thing about um I'm very happy to be here with you now, but the compression is not very entertaining right now. You can read in bed. We don't do those anymore. Oh, it was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. Did you really watch Station Eleven? They made fucking Digobah there. Um we're recording It could be ads, but a lot of it's like, did you sign up for our, you know May I read the note?

Um, it's like the scariest thing you've ever seen. This goes to my rant the other day about Christopher Nolan. I agree. Oh my invent a new color. Didn't realize well, I I suppose I don't know. Mm-hmm. I woke him up to talk about defense. It was in an area where it could have been either. I can be sweaty too. Lots of people go, not for me. Yeah, but it but it's also not like they didn't have Camera's like half of these You wanna think about them being happy to do. 101 fever. and and uh Travis Kels and Um, he's at the post. Go go on. Um I get I get that I've got a bunch of things that people say now apparently you wanna gamble, alright. Who's the Alex this week? Um but like you know, I was like, oh I didn't sleep very well, I didn't feel very good.

Whatever. And one of the things I love about them is as I've said on Mastodon last Wednesday, they give you like a bag of produce. I should what? Well that's a hell of a movie. Can't understand anything anybody's saying. We don't uh talk about people's appearances You know the movies about the couple in the 70s who investigates hauntings with the guy from Watchmen? Do you remember how every episode of top four ends? Oh. Yes, because of turfs. Slim Jim in there. Oh god, this show is let me I got the box here somewhere, I think. Just, you know, there's Oh there's there's really only two. Uh there's a lot of media once. And uh how do you figure? I don't know. I hope I hope this is a safe space. But like none of them were unsuccessful in doing what he wanted And then so the third time But the third time is where I went, okay, now I get it.

Oh my goodness. Uh oh my god, there's even more of Cameron. Yeah. Old navy or or or Is it is it sort of like I it makes me think of like when you hold a string top between two cans. Les blanc. Yeah, holiday party, yeah, those are fun. Don't know why, but uh Okay, hold on. Hate it. Without mentioning what these things are, can I just I I know which one you're talking about. Oh save her for the show. Just because you're paying for it doesn't mean they still think you're a fucking simp. Did did that happen in season? But for a future challenge is to like uh do something with these And it's fucking weird. Oh my gosh. We had to figure out how to record I was just thinking. They're really bad.

No. I'm so obsessed with Taskmaster. I don't know that reference at all. Ron is going to wish for more pudding. Please. You don't come up with an entire season of a TV show. Oh someone uh someone uh part is the important part There's a lot of apps and services for that. Um Um oh that would be very funny if We should do a show where we record while you're with your family at Universal.

So so so What's the actual canonical line? Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Yes. Daddy's back. And I listen, I'm not the biggest fan of American beauty. I'm I'm leaving money on the table here.

Gilded a director More news and less Nessman. Like I I just and but my brain scrambled. And they're like, oh yeah, DeSantis is totally everything about this. Um I mean that's not always true, but by and large, like Instacart. So she wakes up in an ambulance and there's there's that drinking Bradley Cooper. I think they can make a South American steamboat. I'll I'll send you guys um I I've seen it on Nebula, but I think it's on YouTube. But listener Brad, who I know from the internet has has done several good ones.

It's it's all and and and like as you know, Alex, the only thing worse In this case it's it's just like a non non sequitur, non sequitur.

It is. But it's just and it you look it's it's I don't know how would you d describe this What was it? Like how like delays Funhouse mirrors, maze mirrors. No, I think I don't And what is Burden of Dreams? This one was Is does it is it messed it up if I look at it or have you curated something you want to share with me?
