• 1:47
  Speaker 4: to talk about which Batman had the largest.

  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Kevin Conray keeps coming up. Everybody says he's the best.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: So I think the worst Batman was because you don't
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: even think of him Ben Affleck.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I liked him, okay for that situation. He was in
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: a Zack Snyder movie. That's what Zack Snyder needed.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: In a Batman.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Everyone always forgets George Clooney was Batman too.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I never forget. I thought he was a good Bruce Wayne.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Oh there you go. They did. They all have nipples
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: on the just clooney, Just clooney. Why k have I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: don't know. I wonder why that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: It was because it mimicked Roman armor, is what the
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: costume designer said. But yeah, I think a different Batman
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: for every different situation.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Uh this is from Tristan more than lords.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: If you had followed your childhood dreams, what would you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: be doing right now?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Sleeping childhood dreams? What I don't there?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I wrote a paper in the fifth grade, in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: fifth grade that I wanted to be a talk show host.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Really now, not like this like a TV You mean
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: like a real talk show, like a Stephen Colbert kind
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of a thing.

• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Well, why do you do that in podcast form?

  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a whole other thing. Because my
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: wife is missing your podcast.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I know it's because my kids are my I made
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the mistake of making my podcast around conversations with my kids,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and they are all too busy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: They don't talk to you anymore.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: For a reformat, remain seated could easily be just a
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: talk show.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Well it doesn't have to be your kid. I guess.

  Speaker 3: a long time I thought my dream job would have
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: been to be a radio actor in the you know,

  Speaker 3: like the thirties forties.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: You could do again, what can keep saying?

  Speaker 3: to do this all the time. Well, people are gonna
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: hate me. I'm doing it.

• 5:13
  Speaker 3: They only go to their job as a means to
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: an end so they can go have fun doing something else.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: There's work to live and live to work.
• 5:20

• 5:25
  Speaker 3: then the rest of my life is miserable.
