WEBVTT

00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.970
From the dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint and

00:00:03.970 --> 00:00:19.769
I'm Stretch and this is Prevailing Strange. Welcome

00:00:19.769 --> 00:00:23.710
to our ret and sundry portion of the show. Where

00:00:23.710 --> 00:00:27.910
we talk shit and you can listen. We're not going

00:00:27.910 --> 00:00:32.450
to guarantee that we're not drunk. It's not a

00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:35.890
hentai. Wow, that's where you went? I was more

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.950
going with an animated show like Finding Nemo

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:41.329
that has an octopus in it or Aquaman. Did you

00:00:41.329 --> 00:00:44.189
watch the video? Did you see the drumming? You're

00:00:44.189 --> 00:00:48.329
a fucking dumb man. Yeah, I did. I did. But no,

00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:50.770
that was stupid. That was a stupid inclusion.

00:00:50.909 --> 00:00:55.390
You shouldn't have had that. I'm fully aware

00:00:55.390 --> 00:00:59.549
that aliens come from underneath the water. That's

00:00:59.549 --> 00:01:02.679
just a fact. Aliens aren't going to come from

00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.099
space. They're already here. Mm -hmm. Right?

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:07.959
They're already here. Octopus is one of the most

00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.579
foreign alien things you'll ever see in your

00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:12.000
life. Agreed. Do you know how many brains they've

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.900
got? Four, don't they? More than one. Yeah. That's

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:19.799
it. Man, I love octopi. Yeah. They're fucking

00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:24.640
gorgeous. But still, they're so alien, they can

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.739
get out of anything that's smaller than their

00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:28.590
beak, bigger than their beak. I was watching

00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:30.730
a documentary once and this guy said it and I

00:01:30.730 --> 00:01:32.629
was like, oh, they're probably, you know, tracks.

00:01:33.469 --> 00:01:36.870
The evolution of the octopus and how fucking

00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:39.090
smart they are and the whole camouflage thing

00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:41.909
and the fact that they're not social creatures

00:01:41.909 --> 00:01:44.349
at all. They're very kind of secluded creatures

00:01:44.349 --> 00:01:47.170
until it comes to breeding and whatnot. They

00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:50.230
said that. Speaking of breeding, have you ever

00:01:50.230 --> 00:01:52.870
seen a female octopus give birth? No, I'm not

00:01:52.870 --> 00:01:56.000
sick like that. No? They starve themselves, dude.

00:01:56.219 --> 00:01:58.680
They literally sacrifice themselves for their

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.319
children. Yeah, that's pretty well. But anyway.

00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.280
Keep going. I was saying about how they were

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.599
saying that over all this time, this evolutionary

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.860
chain of the octopus and how good it is at camouflage

00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:18.120
and being seclusive to the word. Reclusive. Reclusive.

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.120
There's a word that's similar. It starts with

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.900
S. I can't think of it right now. Anyway, the

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:25.729
fact that they've. All this energy over all this

00:02:25.729 --> 00:02:28.229
time has gone into that. If they had been more

00:02:28.229 --> 00:02:31.849
of a social creature, that the evolution and

00:02:31.849 --> 00:02:34.669
the intelligence of them, they could have rivaled

00:02:34.669 --> 00:02:37.469
humans is what he kind of said. Yeah, right.

00:02:37.689 --> 00:02:40.430
It's a wild claim. Maybe true. I don't know.

00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:44.490
But it's cool. That's how kind of smart they

00:02:44.490 --> 00:02:48.590
are. Yeah. There's a bloke on YouTube, Michael

00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:52.150
Rober. Everyone would have seen him. Anyway,

00:02:52.310 --> 00:02:57.860
he. Just got an octopus out of the ocean and

00:02:57.860 --> 00:03:03.860
then made this whole elaborate tank with all

00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:06.680
these puzzles in it. This octopus went through

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.620
and solved every puzzle. He didn't teach it.

00:03:10.659 --> 00:03:13.520
It was out of the ocean and it solved every puzzle.

00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:19.819
And then he released it. Nuts, man. But, yeah,

00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.479
I reckon, look, call me a kook all you want.

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:27.699
I'm all for the hollow earth theory. Yeah, I

00:03:27.699 --> 00:03:35.219
mean, maybe. No, definitely. What is it? 87 %

00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:40.199
of the earth's ocean is unmapped. Please. Some

00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.979
weird shit down there. Some weird shit, dude.

00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:46.139
A fucking anglerfish has a light bulb for a head.

00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:50.090
There's some cool videos of the deep sea exploration

00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:51.590
and some of the creatures they find down there.

00:03:51.650 --> 00:03:54.789
It's fucking alien as fuck, man. So alien. And

00:03:54.789 --> 00:03:57.469
that's what I'm saying. I'm saying. Cool. Aliens

00:03:57.469 --> 00:04:00.469
are coming from under the water. The last thing,

00:04:00.509 --> 00:04:04.430
I'm still finishing off the third book of Adrian

00:04:04.430 --> 00:04:07.289
Tchaikovsky's Shards of Earth series. No, the

00:04:07.289 --> 00:04:11.330
final architecture series. Sorry. Enjoying it.

00:04:11.389 --> 00:04:13.330
Just didn't get around to finishing it this week.

00:04:13.969 --> 00:04:19.180
Always. Nearly finished. When I say nearly, I'm

00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:21.759
16 hours away from finishing the fourth book

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.740
of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Come on, mate. Keep

00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:29.339
up. I need to get with it. Oh, dude, like that

00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:33.560
story gets better. Does it really? Oh, yeah.

00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.920
Like the entire thing, the entire thing, it just

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.319
keeps getting better and better. Yeah, right.

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:41.420
Okay. Because it was a very, for me, the start

00:04:41.420 --> 00:04:43.399
was a very slow starter and it was something

00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.399
that I didn't think I'd actually continue reading.

00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:47.480
Oh, right. And we're talking about the first

00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.180
book? The first book. Yeah, yeah. When I first

00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:54.199
started listening, I'm like, oh, fuck. It's annoying.

00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:57.620
And I'm like, ooh, hang on a second. And then

00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.639
the second book fucking reeled me in. And now

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.139
I'm stuck. Yeah. So I've got to finish this before

00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:05.459
I get back on Expeditionary Force. Right. Because

00:05:05.459 --> 00:05:08.199
I can't have two books going on at the same time.

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:10.420
Yeah, that's fair. I'm a very simple person.

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.839
But yeah, so when I finish this and I move on

00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.980
to Expedition Reinforced. That's another thing

00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:19.000
that I'd really like to see. This would be a

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.019
good long -form TV show, Dungeon Crawler Car.

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.860
It'd be different. It'd be sick. It'd be something

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:27.480
that'd be picked up by a sci -fi channel on Foxtel.

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:32.300
Dude, I could even see Amazon. They go for this

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:35.180
weird shit. The problem with Amazon is, like

00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:38.160
a lot of streaming services, is they have this

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.600
fucking weird idea that... If people don't finish

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.699
watching the show, that's when they cancel it.

00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.100
So that's their kind of litmus test. Is that

00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:50.339
what it's called? Yeah. Yeah, so it doesn't matter.

00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.819
Like if you've got a show that has 100 ,000 people

00:05:52.819 --> 00:05:56.300
watching it but 100 ,000 people finish it versus

00:05:56.300 --> 00:05:58.279
something that starts off with 6 million people

00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.240
watching it and finishes with 100 ,000 people

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.540
finishing it. So the same amount of people finishing

00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:06.180
it. I'm feeling you, dog. It's the fact that.

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:09.879
Right. The retention rate. The overwhelming majority

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.920
does not finish it. Yeah. That's what Cannes

00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.100
shows. Right. And that's why you get really great

00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:18.959
shows that, you know, might be more cerebral

00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.600
and kind of had a bit of punch to begin with

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.579
and then people kind of drop off because they're

00:06:25.579 --> 00:06:28.060
like, eh. But, like, it could have been great

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:30.160
sci -fi. Like, there's some great sci -fi out

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.339
there that is really kind of cerebral and you're

00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:34.360
like, this is fucking weird but I want to see

00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.279
where it goes. And then you... don't get to see

00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:38.959
where it goes because it gets cancelled because

00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.160
not everybody's into that shit. I .e. the fact

00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.379
that that's why we don't see much original programming

00:06:45.379 --> 00:06:48.439
these days because they're scared. They're scared

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.459
that, okay, we're going to get 100 ,000 people

00:06:50.459 --> 00:06:54.139
watching this show and it only goes for a season

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:56.060
because they're going, oh, fuck, only 100 ,000

00:06:56.060 --> 00:06:58.379
people grew up on this. Only 100 ,000 people

00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:00.459
are watching this. But if they kept it going

00:07:00.459 --> 00:07:03.540
for longer term, much like Dungeon Crawler, Carl

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:06.800
with me. Give us a second season. People might

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.720
watch one or two episodes of their second season

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.339
and go, hang on a fucking minute. What happened?

00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.439
Go through and re -watch that first season. So

00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.339
then you've got 200 ,000 people feeling shit

00:07:15.339 --> 00:07:19.540
in the first season. Much like Fly Fly. I know

00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:24.199
I always compare it, but that's my bar of great

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.860
TV shows that only ran for a year. You've got

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:31.480
this original programming, but you sit and you

00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.779
watch now how many people have watched it now.

00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.360
as opposed to when it first came out. In 2001,

00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:41.319
I think its highest viewership was like 3 million

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.980
people. But now you ask anybody, every single

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.500
person that you know on earth has heard of Firefly.

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:49.879
Yeah. Well, maybe not everybody, but a lot of

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.180
people, yeah. Yeah. How many times do you recommend

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:55.600
a show that went under the radar and people go

00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.199
back and watch it? Well, hopefully I've inspired

00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.000
you to watch two today, Peacemaker and Lucky

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.759
Number 11. You need to watch Lucky Number Slovene.

00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:06.319
It only goes for two hours. Okay, fuck. It happens,

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:08.199
though. People go back and watch shit. So much.

00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.500
Like, why don't they take into consideration

00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:13.980
the fact that that shit's going to happen? Yeah.

00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:19.379
Like, they can only punch out so much new shit

00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:24.259
all the time. Why aren't they kind of reliant

00:08:24.259 --> 00:08:27.680
on their back catalogue? Like, why not continue

00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.740
to make something? Mate. Yes. If they need to.

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.620
dialed down on the fucking, the budget a little

00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:38.899
bit. But like. Finish your stories. Yeah. Finish

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:42.960
your stories. I 100 % agree. If you've got, and

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.519
I think that's why everyone's always going to

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.059
remake, reboot, remake, reboot. Because there's

00:08:47.059 --> 00:08:49.279
all these things that have already, oh, Spider

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.120
-Man movie's coming out. Okay, I'll watch it

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.860
because I love Spider -Man. Original program's

00:08:53.860 --> 00:08:55.799
gone by the wayside because they're not able

00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:06.019
to bring people in. But. Again, if you're pushing

00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:11.100
this one season of TV, write that story so that

00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:13.779
one episode, that one season can wrap up that

00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:16.720
story because you don't know if you're going

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:21.159
to get a second season. For example, Hannibal,

00:09:21.299 --> 00:09:23.399
which I'm already watching now, the first two

00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:27.700
seasons, top tier TV. You get to that third and

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:30.710
fourth season, they're trash, dude. They lose

00:09:30.710 --> 00:09:35.529
their way so much. Heroes. Yep. That first season

00:09:35.529 --> 00:09:38.389
of Heroes was one of the best seasons of TV that's

00:09:38.389 --> 00:09:40.450
ever been produced. Well, that was the writer's

00:09:40.450 --> 00:09:42.269
strike. They should have put it on hiatus while

00:09:42.269 --> 00:09:44.590
the writer's strike was on. That's what killed

00:09:44.590 --> 00:09:48.009
it. I legit think that they just lost their way.

00:09:48.429 --> 00:09:51.549
You get someone like Kurt Sutter who doesn't.

00:09:52.009 --> 00:09:54.730
But that's a problem. They got a whole different

00:09:54.730 --> 00:09:57.789
bunch of people in to write it during the writer's

00:09:57.789 --> 00:10:00.379
strike. Yeah, a whole heap of scabs. Oh, fuck

00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:02.279
them guys. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.220
they should have, okay, we don't have our writer's

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:08.340
table at the moment. It has been there the entire

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:11.320
time. Put it on pause. I did not know that. Yeah,

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.200
that's what happened with a lot of TV during

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.700
that original writer's strike back in the early

00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:20.659
2000s is we lost a lot of good TV because the

00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:24.500
companies that ran them weren't happy. They wanted

00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:26.940
to continue on instead of pausing production.

00:10:28.269 --> 00:10:30.970
Couldn't go with the SAGs or the AFTRs and that,

00:10:31.029 --> 00:10:34.190
so they had to get SCABs in. Yeah. Right. People

00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:36.990
at home, SCABs are the people who aren't in a

00:10:36.990 --> 00:10:41.970
union. Or are willing to work despite the fact

00:10:41.970 --> 00:10:45.769
that the unions are out striking. Yeah. So, yeah,

00:10:45.889 --> 00:10:48.289
when SAG and that try to strike and get better

00:10:48.289 --> 00:10:50.269
rates of pay and stuff and better conditions

00:10:50.269 --> 00:10:52.590
for their writers and producers, actors and stuff,

00:10:52.769 --> 00:10:54.909
you get these people called SCABs that aren't

00:10:54.909 --> 00:10:56.759
in a union. and they come through and they undercut

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.679
everybody, but they're not as good as. And they

00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.919
punch out poorer fucking quality stuff. So Kurt

00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.120
Sutter will only ever produce seven seasons of

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.759
TV. His story will always culminate in seven

00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.019
seasons. I think it makes sense to kind of start

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:17.759
something with an end in mind. Exactly, an outline.

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.919
You need that outline. Which is, as much as I

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:27.139
like J .J. Abrams. It's his issue. He has great

00:11:27.139 --> 00:11:30.720
concepts. Where the fuck did the polar bear come

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.320
from, Jeremy? Well, they explain that in the

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.820
end. Did they really? Yeah. Yeah, it was something.

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.779
Did they explain where they come from or what

00:11:38.779 --> 00:11:40.980
they used them for? I don't know. I didn't finish

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:45.299
it. I don't think anyone did. A lot of people

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:48.179
did, and there's a bit of a cult following around

00:11:48.179 --> 00:11:49.899
it, and they reckon it's the greatest thing that's

00:11:49.899 --> 00:11:53.039
ever. No, he fucked up. He fucked up. He had.

00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.240
Too good an idea and didn't know where it was

00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.399
going. That first season of Lost was sensational.

00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.940
Argue with me. I won't. It was good. Because

00:12:01.940 --> 00:12:06.519
it's the truth. The first three were great. He

00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.960
was bringing in all these ideas, the smoke, the

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.440
fucking people that were still there, the fucking

00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.299
hole in the ground with the numbers that fucking

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:19.039
they had to keep punching in. And then he just

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:24.309
made shit up. Spoiler alert. The fucking people

00:12:24.309 --> 00:12:26.389
that were always on the island. There was fucking

00:12:26.389 --> 00:12:29.230
the light in the well and the fucking the mum

00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:31.570
gave birth to the fucking two children and the

00:12:31.570 --> 00:12:34.110
fucking one child killed the other and they put

00:12:34.110 --> 00:12:35.809
them in the fucking well and he came back to

00:12:35.809 --> 00:12:38.710
life. Man, it got fucking weird. What the fuck?

00:12:38.769 --> 00:12:40.750
That's very Cain and Abel right there, isn't

00:12:40.750 --> 00:12:43.629
it? Yeah. Yeah. I've read what happened in it.

00:12:43.690 --> 00:12:45.009
I didn't watch it. I wasn't going to sit there

00:12:45.009 --> 00:12:46.870
and watch it. I fucking read it though. There'll

00:12:46.870 --> 00:12:49.860
be something on YouTube. That'll be like a two

00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:52.220
-hour watch through where I'll show you. I might

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:55.840
have to watch that. Yeah. But this is the thing.

00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.519
J .J. Abrams, an incredible writer. Concepts,

00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.440
sensational. Dude, you tell me someone better.

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:06.720
What was it? He loves a box, by the way. Yeah.

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.399
Loves a mystery box. Yeah, dude. Always loves,

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.720
yeah. What's in the box? What's in the box? That

00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:17.480
first season of Lost is some of the best TV ever.

00:13:18.830 --> 00:13:21.110
And I don't know whether he just like, because

00:13:21.110 --> 00:13:23.490
Omay with the big hair and the overweight fella

00:13:23.490 --> 00:13:25.250
just didn't want to lose weight to show that

00:13:25.250 --> 00:13:26.990
he was on a fucking abandoned island. He was

00:13:26.990 --> 00:13:30.629
starving. How are we going to remedy this? They're

00:13:30.629 --> 00:13:34.669
already dead. I don't know. I don't know. I wasn't

00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:40.129
in the writer's room. But I think if you've got

00:13:40.129 --> 00:13:42.809
a great, and this is what's annoying. We talk

00:13:42.809 --> 00:13:47.809
about Ted Lasso and how it's perfect. It is perfect.

00:13:48.350 --> 00:13:50.909
I don't give a fuck what anybody says. Ted Lasso

00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:53.450
is perfect television. He had a three -season

00:13:53.450 --> 00:13:56.470
arc and he wrapped it up perfect, dude. It had

00:13:56.470 --> 00:13:59.950
the most beautiful, heartfelt, funny little bow.

00:14:00.049 --> 00:14:01.570
I hope he doesn't fuck it up on the fourth. This

00:14:01.570 --> 00:14:04.850
is what's worrying me. He's come back for a fourth

00:14:04.850 --> 00:14:11.110
because of public outcry. Fans want more. Do

00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:13.970
you give them what they want or do you say, no,

00:14:14.190 --> 00:14:17.210
you've had what you need? If he's coming back.

00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:20.220
It's got to be for the right idea. It has to

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:23.179
be. Manny has to sell me in the first two episodes

00:14:23.179 --> 00:14:27.279
on this fucking fourth season because, yeah,

00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:31.120
if he's just come back for the money, yeah, I

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.720
might just fucking not watch it, DNF, and fucking

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:40.100
walk away. So this next season that Jason Sudeikis

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:44.200
has written, now it's same writers, same cast.

00:14:45.129 --> 00:14:47.830
But it's going to be a woman's team. Now, in

00:14:47.830 --> 00:14:52.649
the end of season three, we did see that Rebecca

00:14:52.649 --> 00:14:56.070
is starting the woman's team. It was mentioned,

00:14:56.210 --> 00:14:59.629
yes. She split up the team, which is the Richmond

00:14:59.629 --> 00:15:02.809
Greyhounds. She split it up and give everybody

00:15:02.809 --> 00:15:07.269
that's a fan a part of the team. Perfect wrapper.

00:15:09.250 --> 00:15:12.110
This one is going to be the Richmond Greyhounds

00:15:12.110 --> 00:15:16.080
female team. So they start a female league. Whether

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.299
Ted Lasso comes back as that and Beard's still

00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:24.419
coaching the men's team, we don't know. But I'm

00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:28.620
excited for it because that Ted Lasso man made

00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:31.240
me feel shit that I've never seen in TV, ever.

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:37.419
It hasn't. No. Ted Lasso is probably the most

00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:42.100
perfect story ever written for telly. It is,

00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:45.519
man. That's a fucking. Big call. No. It's good.

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:50.179
I don't think it was that good. It is. It is.

00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:53.500
Can you tell me a show that made you feel, laugh,

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:58.059
scared, every emotion that you can feel from

00:15:58.059 --> 00:16:01.539
three seasons of TV? I wasn't scared in Ted Leso.

00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:10.120
What? I wasn't scared. I laughed. They got relegated.

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.480
I laughed and I nearly cried. It was good. What

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.600
about when Beard was getting jumped in the alleyway?

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:19.580
You didn't think he was going to die? No. No,

00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:23.259
I wasn't concerned. I was scared she was. No,

00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.919
Beard, no. No, definitely it was good. Did you

00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.139
ever watch Sex Education? No. I had sex in it.

00:16:35.149 --> 00:16:37.190
I was going to say something, but my wife would

00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:38.870
probably kick my ass. She doesn't watch it, does

00:16:38.870 --> 00:16:40.830
she? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. That

00:16:40.830 --> 00:16:43.830
clip would get clipped. It wouldn't clip it.

00:16:43.830 --> 00:16:47.370
And the chat would send it along. Yeah, sex education.

00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:52.549
Fucking funny. Had some feels. Had some tits

00:16:52.549 --> 00:16:59.570
in it. It was good. I mean. Okay. Yeah. Some

00:16:59.570 --> 00:17:01.629
of the best TV show has tits in it. Do you realise

00:17:01.629 --> 00:17:03.769
your mother and father are watching this? Fine.

00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:06.970
He probably agrees with me. Petey. Petey the

00:17:06.970 --> 00:17:10.470
Lifebringer. What a lord. I mean, think of Game

00:17:10.470 --> 00:17:14.470
of Thrones, Shameless, Sex Education. That's

00:17:14.470 --> 00:17:16.250
three that I can think of off the top of my head

00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:19.089
that are great shows. Never Seen Shameless. Game

00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:23.650
of Thrones was trash. In the end, yeah. You've

00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:26.980
never seen Shameless? No. Pretty good. Pretty

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:31.579
good. Why? Funny. A lot like Ted Lasso. Has a

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:37.660
lot of drama. It's funny. Tits in it. There's

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:40.480
no tits in Ted Lasso. It's a classic film. Well,

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:46.519
that's probably why it's better. That's a shit

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.299
thing to say, by the way. What? It has to have

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:51.559
tits to be better. It doesn't need to be better.

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:56.440
Not at all. I do enjoy that. Right. In a show.

00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:02.619
But, yeah, getting back onto the fact that Ted

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:05.079
Lasso is good, probably not the greatest TV in

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:09.980
the world, but it's good. Okay. Can you name

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:12.259
a TV show that you rate higher than Ted Lasso?

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:16.519
Sense8. That's a load of bullshit and you know

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.819
it. You never watched it. I've heard things.

00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:23.220
I've watched trailers. Did it lose its way after

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:27.250
the first season? No. Second season. No. Didn't

00:18:27.250 --> 00:18:29.910
lose his way. They lost an actor. They changed

00:18:29.910 --> 00:18:32.309
him, but they swapped him out. They did a lot.

00:18:32.549 --> 00:18:35.710
Yeah. And they wrapped it up with a movie. I

00:18:35.710 --> 00:18:37.750
thought it was some of the best TV I've ever

00:18:37.750 --> 00:18:40.769
seen. Really? Yeah. Okay. It was British, wasn't

00:18:40.769 --> 00:18:44.049
it? No. It's made by the Wachowskis. It's American.

00:18:44.710 --> 00:18:47.109
From the creators of The Matrix. Okay. I'm going

00:18:47.109 --> 00:18:49.190
to have to give that a watch. Yeah. I'm going

00:18:49.190 --> 00:18:51.369
to have to give that a watch. And it's got tits

00:18:51.369 --> 00:18:56.789
in it. For fuck's sake. Look, I look in the mirror

00:18:56.789 --> 00:18:59.890
and it's got tits in it. It doesn't inspire.

00:19:00.650 --> 00:19:04.309
It just doesn't. It's like, why are your nipples

00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:07.289
looking at you like that, Clint? Do you know

00:19:07.289 --> 00:19:09.190
what I forgot to tell you that I watched? What

00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:14.509
did you forget? I watched Prey. Tell me all about

00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:20.309
it, Jeremy. Don't grip the microphone. You can

00:19:20.309 --> 00:19:25.700
hear it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes! I knew

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:28.900
you would. I knew you would. It is a good movie.

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:31.359
Such a good movie, dude. The best Predator movie

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.980
I've ever seen. Hands down. Hands down. The only

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:40.400
bugbear I have. This is coming from a movie that

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:45.059
I liked and enjoyed. Okay. Is the thing that

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:48.160
I remember a few weeks ago we talked about Aliens

00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.019
and Predator and you said that the aliens are

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:55.240
just Mindless fucking whatever. Right. Okay.

00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:58.539
The thing about – fuck, I keep forgetting to

00:19:58.539 --> 00:20:02.240
look up the name of the race of predators. Predators

00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.259
for all intensive purposes. It starts with a

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:09.940
Y. I know that. Watcher. Watcher. W -A -U -T

00:20:09.940 --> 00:20:13.559
-J -A. Okay. Watcher. Watcher. So the thing that

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:20.440
kind of is a bit muddy for me is the fact that

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:24.180
they're coming – To earth to hunt the best. Yeah.

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.079
In Prey, you see him, he's a little bit more

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.640
stripped down than - Very, very primitive. Primitive.

00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.400
Yeah, like he's going out there with less armor

00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:40.980
on or something like that. The fact that there's

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:44.599
a scene where he shoots the coyote, grabs the

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:46.660
skull, and you see him melt it down. It's a pretty

00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:49.019
cool moment. You see how they do that to preserve

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:52.960
the skull. Why did he need to do that? He didn't

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.900
fight the coyote? Didn't hunt the coyote? He

00:20:56.900 --> 00:21:02.019
just shot it from a distance? Again, I don't

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:04.619
know. Yeah. Like if he's, you know, if they said

00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:06.700
they were just out, like I don't know the law,

00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:09.359
are they just out to collect skulls of predators?

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:14.940
But again, I don't think it's the skulls that

00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:19.259
he's collecting. I think it's the spines because

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:21.329
it's, There was something in the lore about the

00:21:21.329 --> 00:21:22.809
spines and the stuff that they're getting from

00:21:22.809 --> 00:21:25.170
the bone marrow of the spine. I can't remember

00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:26.369
where I read that. There'll be research for this

00:21:26.369 --> 00:21:27.589
week and we can talk about it next week. Yeah,

00:21:27.589 --> 00:21:31.309
we can talk about that. But it might have been

00:21:31.309 --> 00:21:33.170
a predator that he'd never come across before.

00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:35.150
So he's like, bang, okay. And then got that for

00:21:35.150 --> 00:21:36.230
the collection. And got that for the collection.

00:21:36.990 --> 00:21:40.609
Because it's kind of like insinuated that they're

00:21:40.609 --> 00:21:44.170
going up against whatever's the best kind of

00:21:44.170 --> 00:21:47.309
predator and that's the skull they collect. Yeah.

00:21:49.130 --> 00:21:54.450
Killed a fuck ton of humans. Yep. But yeah, like

00:21:54.450 --> 00:21:58.089
primitive humans basically with fucking flint

00:21:58.089 --> 00:22:00.690
pistols. Yeah, even the French have got single

00:22:00.690 --> 00:22:04.710
shot flint pistols. Yep. The fact that he uses

00:22:04.710 --> 00:22:08.650
the fucking camo. Okay. The invisibility. Yep.

00:22:08.670 --> 00:22:12.230
Kind of get it when he's fighting Arnie, you

00:22:12.230 --> 00:22:18.700
know, he's in a war zone. Yeah. That's one of

00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:23.859
the things I don't essentially fucking – I don't

00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:27.039
hate it, but I'm like, why? Do you think if they

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:32.059
left out the active camouflage that you would

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:33.900
have run into an issue with it, that they didn't

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:37.119
introduce the active camera? I would have preferred

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.240
it if he was kind of getting down and dirty,

00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:44.740
wearing like mud from the area to kind of – But

00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:46.640
see, this is where we're going to run into it

00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:48.640
with Trachtenberg Universe, which he's doing

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:50.920
now, when we've got killer of killers coming

00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:54.400
out and they're in the ancient samurai days and

00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.059
they're in the Viking days, he's got active chemo.

00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:00.920
Yeah. So I think that's going to, it'll explain

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.799
more by watching them movies. I hope we get something.

00:23:05.019 --> 00:23:08.180
Yes. Because that's the thing, like something

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:09.960
about the lore of it that doesn't make sense

00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:13.740
to me. Right. If they're kind of matching their

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:17.099
technology to their prey. Right. It would make

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:19.680
more sense to me. But, yeah, there's that, the

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:25.640
active camo. I bet that's about the alien. And

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:31.079
the fucking hatchet with the leather strapped

00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:34.220
to it. Right. You should never catch that. Like,

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:39.839
that was a bit much, you know? In prey. Right.

00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:42.960
It was cool. It was cool. But it kind of took

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:46.180
me out for a second there. Right, okay. Yeah,

00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.140
I don't know. It's just the way she's throwing

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:51.859
it, ripping it back and catching it. It's not

00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:56.400
Mjolnir. No. That was probably one of the only

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:58.460
things that I ran into was that. I would have

00:23:58.460 --> 00:24:00.579
preferred it if she yanked it and pulled it back.

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:04.740
Gotcha. Leather straps aren't elastic. Yeah.

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:09.400
I got you. Yeah. There was just kind of the weaker

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:12.759
parts of the movie. Yep. As a whole, I enjoyed

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.400
it. It was good. I liked it. Yeah. I agree with

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.099
you when you said best of the Predator franchise.

00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:22.759
Jesus Christ, I am quite drunk. I'm slurring

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.640
my words. I agree with you with that. You could

00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:36.029
have had that again. When we talk about movies

00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:38.069
that have been remade, rebooted and stuff and

00:24:38.069 --> 00:24:39.950
you could have called it someone else and it

00:24:39.950 --> 00:24:42.230
would have been just a good movie. The fact that

00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:44.430
they've called this Prey, it's not Predator,

00:24:44.509 --> 00:24:50.309
Prey. It's just Prey. You could have gone into

00:24:50.309 --> 00:24:52.390
that with fresh eyes, dude, not having to watch

00:24:52.390 --> 00:24:55.109
anything else in the world of the Predator franchise

00:24:55.109 --> 00:24:58.890
and you would have been okay. You would not have

00:24:58.890 --> 00:25:01.329
had to have had anything explained to you. You

00:25:01.329 --> 00:25:02.849
don't have to have any prior knowledge of the

00:25:02.849 --> 00:25:06.279
Predator universe. It was just ears. Yep. And

00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:11.380
I think it killed it. Yeah, it was good. I would

00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:15.660
like to know if that root or whatever, the healing

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:19.059
medicine, whether that's legit or not. Because

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:22.539
if that's not legit and, you know, it just happens

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:25.099
to be they can lower their body temperature by

00:25:25.099 --> 00:25:29.059
this magical root that didn't really exist, that's

00:25:29.059 --> 00:25:35.680
a little cheap as well? Well. I would have liked

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.799
if she'd covered herself in mud and called back

00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.559
to the original Predator. Well, again, yeah,

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.579
I agree with you on that. And we see Adrian Brody

00:25:43.579 --> 00:25:47.140
do that in the Predators. Yeah. I would have

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:49.599
liked to have seen something like that. However,

00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:54.259
I'm going to call them Indians because. Yeah.

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:57.779
Indigenous people. Yeah. But not just that. Like,

00:25:57.779 --> 00:26:01.240
did you know how they got their name? Indians.

00:26:01.930 --> 00:26:03.769
I actually watched a stand -up comedian explain

00:26:03.769 --> 00:26:07.230
this, and it was like Indians, he called them

00:26:07.230 --> 00:26:10.369
Indians because Indios means people of God, and

00:26:10.369 --> 00:26:12.170
they were the most pure people that he'd come

00:26:12.170 --> 00:26:14.809
across, and he called them Indios, Indian, Indios,

00:26:15.029 --> 00:26:16.369
all that sort of stuff. So that's how they come

00:26:16.369 --> 00:26:22.369
about. But the fact that they knew shit that

00:26:22.369 --> 00:26:25.130
we don't, dude, fucking peyote. Have you ever

00:26:25.130 --> 00:26:27.490
seen them when they do their peyote ceremonies?

00:26:27.930 --> 00:26:33.920
Incredible. I do magic mushies. And to me, man,

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.460
magic mushies are transcendent. Every single

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:38.119
person on this earth should do magic mushrooms.

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:43.119
You haven't done them ever. I do them once a

00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:49.200
month at least. For them to have been doing peyote

00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.339
since the dawn of time and for them to be doing

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:56.819
all that natural medicines, dude, we don't know

00:26:56.819 --> 00:27:00.579
the fucking slightest thing what they know. There's

00:27:00.579 --> 00:27:04.119
definitely something to it. Yeah. So I hope if

00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:06.819
there is a plant or there is a root or if there's

00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:08.319
a medicine that they knew about that lowered

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:10.059
their body temperature, fucking sweet. Yeah.

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:14.319
I sincerely hope. Yeah. But, yeah. I love this

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.180
fact that they bring in real world shit into

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:19.259
something that's so fantastical and so out of

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:21.400
there that they're introducing aliens that hunt.

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:26.779
Yeah. But, yeah. I love Prey, man. I thought

00:27:26.779 --> 00:27:29.279
it was so good. And it really does get me amped

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:31.779
for Killer of Killers. Yeah, I'm definitely looking

00:27:31.779 --> 00:27:34.859
forward to it more after having watched it. I

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:38.079
really thought you would have loved that. I really

00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:42.559
did. It's not, you know, they don't ham it up

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:46.319
with a comedy. There's no big muscle bicep moments,

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:50.400
nothing like that. But it's still just Predator,

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:54.940
and it's so good. So well written, so well acted.

00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.380
I think it's just a great production. It would

00:27:57.380 --> 00:28:00.259
have been pretty shit -ass if he'd rocked up

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:03.960
in the full fucking armour. Agreed. Agreed. I

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.079
love that it was a bone mask, dude. Where did

00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.539
that bone mask come from? That'd be a nice little

00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:14.319
fucking comic background, how he got that fucking

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:18.359
skull. Yeah. Absolutely, 100 % agree. And I'm

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:19.900
glad you finally watched it because it is good.

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:23.200
Yeah. All right, thank you very much for joining

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:28.779

chicken grease.
