  SPEAKER_01: 24-hour convention that I I help run.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_01: Hosted at the Gaylord National Harbor in Maryland.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: Beautiful, beautiful hotel.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: Luxurious hotel.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Hotel I could never afford to stay in unless the convention I worked for was you know helping me pay to stay there.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: Great plug for your sponsor, not for ours.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: Continue.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um the Gaylord National Convention Center was designed by a fucking madman.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it it it's like it MC Escher levels of of just does not compute.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: Of hallway confusion.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not even kidding you.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: Like you could be on the fifth floor and be on the wrong fifth floor.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: You the the way the hotel is designed is there are certain rooms, like if I'm on the fifth floor and I went up the elevators on the wrong side, I then have to go down all the way, walk to the other side of the hotel, and then go back up to the fifth floor to get to a room.
• 1:52
  Matt: That's fascinating.
• 1:53
  Matt: What I'd like to know is what does that have to do with you hawking a loogie in your microphone to start this episode?
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because this hotel was designed by uh a mad genius, um it it's nuts.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's so huge on the inside, like the atrium, it's all like the self-contained environment.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: And to that end, the air in the Gaylord is the driest, most heinous sinus pummeling, just nasal congestion inducing air imaginable.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like we had a humidifier running in our room the whole time.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: That that is also a testament to the fact that I'm now 32 years old.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: Because like when I was like 20 and going to Magfest, my backpack was full of Natty Bo and like that and like maybe some clothes, and that was it.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: Now, when I go to Magfest, I've got the Dr.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: Schulzies, I've got an a pharmacy of painkillers and and fucking uh Oh yeah.
• 2:55
  Matt: I don't go anywhere without my little satchel of help.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Got my humidifier, gotta have Tums on the ready.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, but it's going to the Gay Lord and existing in that environment, uh doing a lot of drinking and and partying and playing arcade games till like four in the morning.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: When I come back to the real world, when I leave the biodome that is the Gaylord, my sinuses absolutely rebel.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: I am in the midst of a of a most heinous sinus infection.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: And I like I would be remiss if I did not point out how brave I am being right now.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: Oh just showing up to do the work, and that's what I hope you say about me to do the work.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: Like he showed up to do the work when his nose was snotty and his throat was a little scratchy, and his head felt like it had some clean X's stuffed in it.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I just Yeah, not all heroes wear capes.
• 3:49
  Matt: No, and so okay, so just so I and the listeners are clear, yeah.
• 3:54
  Matt: In this circumstance, you are the hero.
• 3:57
  Matt: I well, your words, not mine, but yes.
• 4:00
  Matt: Well, they uh they are because you just said not all heroes wear capes.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you know, draw your own conclusions, you know what I mean?
• 4:08
  Matt: Like still no research.
• 4:11
  Matt: The yeah, also I don't know that we support that sentence.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: And oh yeah, and every time you make me fucking laugh, I could die.
• 4:22
  Matt: I could die, Matt.

• 4:28
  Matt: And I am just so glad this is the first time that we're seeing each other in like a month.
• 4:34
  Matt: For the listeners don't know that because we recorded the last couple episodes so far in advance, which we almost never do.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just shatter all the illusions.
• 4:44
  Matt: Yeah, and so now we've gone the complete opposite direction, and this is probably the shortest recording to release turnaround time we've ever done.
• 4:52
  Matt: Oh, yeah.
• 4:52
  Matt: And you are sitting there saying that you are a hero.
• 4:57

  Matt: I thought it was like a little bio thing.

  Matt: So I was just like, what's your least pressing questions?
• 11:20
  Matt: As like a, you know, bio type content.
• 11:24

  Matt: And I it's a great question.
• 11:40
  Matt: It is a good question.
• 11:41
  Matt: We're gonna we're gonna answer it, but I uh I have lost track of who said it.
• 11:47
  Matt: I think I know who submitted it, but I don't want to be wrong, so I can't credit it.

  Matt: Twenty-five total, and right?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: And one of them's the free space.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: What is so that I think that more than anything is the very first thing we have to determine.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: What is the free space?
• 12:44
  Matt: Yeah, so I better first of all, I better start a spreadsheet if we're making this a airplane.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, I can see it's flying across the people.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's like just like he's in hackers, there's lines of code reflected in his glasses.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: Is it like that?
• 13:01
  Matt: Yeah, I do hate how much is reflected in my glasses.
• 13:04
  Matt: I I will say that.
• 13:05
  Matt: I'll say that.
• 13:06
  Matt: Um, so okay, so I'll write I'll I'll keep track of these for us.
• 13:11
  Matt: And yeah, how about that?
• 13:12
  Matt: End of the year, we see how much bingo we have to bongo.

  Matt: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  Matt: Yeah, this is fun.
• 13:19
  Matt: We could do this over again.

  SPEAKER_02: We're gonna have a good time.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: We're gonna have a good time.
• 13:23
  Matt: All right, so the f so we could have the free space just be the free space.
• 13:28
  Matt: We could.
• 13:29
  Matt: Or we could have it be a free space in the sense that we could make something that we know 100% shadow of a doubt is going to happen.
• 13:40
  Matt: Yes.
• 13:41
  Matt: So do you have any free space candidates?
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, free space candidate.
• 13:46
  Matt: What about like, oh, some heinous act of Congressional Republicans?
• 13:51
  Matt: We could have a good idea.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I like uh yeah.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you know what?
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly, uh that's what's like a politician will be arrested on live television.
• 14:00
  Matt: Ooh, interesting.
• 14:02
  Matt: I don't know that that's a guarantee.
• 14:04
  Matt: Arrested on live television?
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's a good that's a good thing to put on the card.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's a good thing to put on the card, uh, but it's not not quite a guarantee.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: How about we just start naming them and we'll we'll we'll know our free space when we hear it.
• 14:18
  Matt: Okay, yeah.
• 14:19
  Matt: So all right.
• 14:20
  Matt: So yeah, and we can go beyond 25 because then we could make individual cards.
• 14:26
  Matt: Oh my god.
• 14:28
  Matt: Uh yeah.
• 14:29
  Matt: So politician arrested on live TV is your first one.
• 14:34
  Matt: Yes.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh all right.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: Someone will try to try to make NFTs a thing again, but they're not gonna call it NFTs.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: An NFT by any other name.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: An NFT by any other name.
• 14:49
  Matt: That tried to make NFTs.
• 14:52
  Matt: A thing again under a different name.
• 14:55
  Matt: Um now here's the th here, this is where we're gonna get into some dicey territory right away.
• 15:00
  Matt: I thought of I thought of a I thought of a controversy immediately.
• 15:04
  Matt: We could say there will be, because there will be, this is a free space.
• 15:08
  Matt: There will be a major entertainer's death that will that will take place.
• 15:13
  Matt: Oh yes.
• 15:15
  Matt: Without a doubt, somebody you could classify as a important or or h hyper famous individual in the entertainment's beloved celebrity's death.
• 15:25
  Matt: A belive a beloved celebrity's death will take place in 2023.
• 15:29
  Matt: That's just how life works.
• 15:31
  Matt: That that's that could be the free space.
• 15:35
  Matt: But Eric, it does feel like a little bit of a cop-out to stop there and say a beloved celebrity's death without naming the beloved celebrity.
• 15:47
  Matt: Oh my do you have one in mind?
• 15:50
  Matt: I don't, but I'm just thinking, I was just thinking, ooh, write down a celebrity's death.
• 15:55
  Matt: That's a cop-out.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: Matt, I'm not sure.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta be specific with it.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna.
• 15:59
  Matt: Is it fair before you do, Eric?
• 16:01
  Matt: What if this person dies?
• 16:03
  Matt: Did we cause it?
• 16:04
  Matt: This is where my brain has gone.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: No, we did do it.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: If that um All right, Eric, who's gonna die?
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: Morgan Freeman.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: Whoa! Yeah.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm God.

• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: Morgan Freeman's gift is a joy.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: I wish him nothing but longevity in life, but I think 2023 coming for Morgan.
• 16:33
  Matt: Okay, all right.
• 16:34
  Matt: Well, here's what I think is fair.
• 16:36
  Matt: If we're gonna if we're gonna give potentially more than 25 options and allow ourselves to arrange our own bingo card, yeah.
• 16:43
  Matt: Is that what we're discussing?
• 16:45
  Matt: Yes.
• 16:45
  Matt: If that's the case, then I think it's only fair that you have to include Morgan Freeman Will Die.
• 16:51
  Matt: And who's you?
• 16:52

• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: He could keep going.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: I I'm playing to lose here.

• 19:50
  Matt: That's also I thought it would have happened by now.
• 19:52
  Matt: I know.
• 19:52
  Matt: I'm surprised it hasn't yet.
• 19:54
  Matt: I think there's going to be a major cancellation of a celebrity.
• 20:00
  Matt: Okay.
• 20:01
  Matt: Uh, an unexpected celebrity.
• 20:03
  Matt: Now, my question to you is do we need to name like the death?
• 20:09
  Matt: No, I don't think we have to name who will be cancelled.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think we have to name who will be canceled, but I I do think a little more, like just a tad more specificity.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: I think major cancellation of a hereto beloved celebrity.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: Of a wholesome celebrity.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: The Cosby rule.
• 20:27
  Matt: Exactly.
• 20:28
  Matt: Wholesome celebrity cancellation.
• 20:31
  Matt: I love it.
• 20:32
  Matt: Wholesome celebrity cancellation on the board.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_01: Uh what else we got?
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: I I do want to bring some positivity and positivity into this.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: There will be a 2023 redemption arc.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: Someone here too despised by the public.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, the opposite.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: Gets get they're like, oh, who's this coming up from the back?
• 20:54
  unknown: Ah.
• 20:55
  Matt: I like it.
• 20:55
  Matt: So yeah, just the opposite.
• 20:57
  Matt: Yep.
• 20:57
  Matt: They were they were shunned and now they're back.
• 21:00
  Matt: Yep.
• 21:01
  Matt: Would you also count that as like uh if they were like a little bit of a just a ha not canceled, but just like a has been.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: And now they like come back into it.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_01: I would say then that now the way I would phrase it is a hereto either forgotten or canceled celebrity will rise from the ashes.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think that's already happened, my friend.
• 21:18
  Matt: Uh, do you I I I mean I'm happy to include it, but uh who was it?
• 21:23
  Matt: Uh the actor Key Hoi Kwan, I think I'm saying that right, just won a golden globe for everything everywhere all at once.
• 21:32
  Matt: But up until this point, he's only been known as the child actor as short round in Temple of Doom.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, see, I would have counted that against 2022, because that's when Everything Everywhere All at Once came out.
• 21:43
  Matt: Um that's how the awards work, after all.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: So that is true.
• 21:49
  Matt: All right, but okay, so idea stands, but not fulfilled for you yet.
• 21:53
  Matt: Yeah.
• 21:53
  Matt: Not fulfilled.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, let's be clear he did do that, but he did it in 2022.
• 21:57
  Matt: He did do that.
• 21:58
  Matt: Um,
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: He was brilliant.
• 22:01
  Matt: I haven't seen the film, but I hear it's good.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my God, that's right.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: You still haven't seen it.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: Matt, it's so good.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: You will love it.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um Thank you for the recommendation.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we've got that.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: How about you?
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: What's rattling around in there?
• 22:14
  Matt: Well, so I'm thinking of like the things that cause people to go, didn't know that on my 2020 Bim Go Gar.
• 22:20
  Matt: You know, I'm thinking of that.
• 22:21
  Matt: And so I think we do got to go a little bit out of the box.
• 22:24
  Matt: We've been playing a little bit, it's safe.
• 22:25
  Matt: People are gonna die.
• 22:26
  Matt: People are gonna come back, people are gonna be canceled.
• 22:28
  Matt: We know that.
• 22:29
  Matt: We know that.
• 22:30
  Matt: But what we don't know is will a cargo ship block the Suez Canal for two weeks?
• 22:36
  Matt: We don't know.
• 22:37
  Matt: We don't know that.
• 22:38
  Matt: Yeah.
• 22:38
  Matt: But but it happened just the other year.
• 22:41
  Matt: Uh so what is something good like that?
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: I I I and I do want to introduce I don't want to I don't want to like name things that are like physically impossible.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_01: I do want to name things that like could potentially happen, but there's no historic precedent for, and it's kind of like Alien contact.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know what it's gotta go on there.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, acknowledging it.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: I would even accept the United States government acknowledging the existence of aliens.
• 23:07
  Matt: Okay.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: Do you know what I mean?
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: Like either that covers first contact happening this year, or they say, come out and say, hey, first contact was made in like 1986.
• 23:17
  Matt: Alien contact or alien acknowledgement is on the list now.
• 23:22
  Matt: So that's there.
• 23:23
  Matt: I think it's obviously possible.
• 23:26
  Matt: Um probably has already happened.
• 23:28
  Matt: Yep.
• 23:29
  Matt: So do we need to let's get this, might get political.
• 23:34
  Matt: Do we need to make a call on the war in the Ukraine?
• 23:39
  Matt: Because I don't think it will end, but it could.
• 23:44
  Matt: Uh yeah, let's make that call.
• 23:46
  Matt: We don't have to put this on the card.
• 23:47
  Matt: If we're doing more than 25 things, we don't have to put them on the card.
• 23:51
  Matt: Oh, yeah, that's true.
• 23:52
  Matt: But we can throw it in there.
• 23:53
  Matt: So so the call being the war, Russian-Ukrainian war will end in 2023.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: We can keep it simple.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: To avoid getting too like into the weeds, we'll keep it like will end 2023.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: That would honestly be surprising to me.
• 24:08
  Matt: Aaron Powell Me too.
• 24:10
  Matt: Ukrainian war will end.
• 24:13
  Matt: I don't like how I wrote that.
• 24:14
  Matt: I'll rephrase it because, of course, uh it is the Russian invasion of the of Ukraine there.
• 24:21
  Matt: Uh and uh you know obviously we this podcast is on the Ukraine side.
• 24:26
  Matt: We can say that, right, Aaron.

• 24:46
  Matt: They're taking like$75,$100 whatever drones, sticking a grenade on it, flying it over a tank, and dropping a grenade in the tank.
• 24:55
  Matt: Oh my God.

• 38:49

  SPEAKER_01: They were just the sneakers with the roller skates built in.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_01: Heelys come back.
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_01: Saw a lot of light up shoes at Magfest.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:03
  Matt: I I don't know that those fully went away in the at least as far as children is are concerned.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_01: No, no.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_01: For as long as as long as the laughter of children echoes through these halls, there will be light up shoes.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_01: Do we need to be more personal, Eric?
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh, how so?
• 39:18
  Matt: Tell me more.
• 39:19
  Matt: I I don't know.
• 39:20
  Matt: I uh this just something that came out of my mouth.
• 39:22
  Matt: But I'm saying like we have a lot of global or public eye type things.
• 39:27
  Matt: Do we need to say something like, you know, something from our lives that we will uh write a book?
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, write a book?
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_01: Um oh god, this sounds suspiciously like setting goals.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, no, that's you're right.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's close to New Year's resolutions.
• 39:44
  Matt: We don't want to do that.
• 39:49
  Matt: Uh okay.
• 39:50
  Matt: So who else could die?
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um who else could we murder?
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_01: Oh let me think.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_01: We're talking about uh what brands will die.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think this is the year.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_01: I think this is the year that either Fridays or Applebee's dies.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_01: Whoa.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think big called shop there.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Fridays one of us could take one, one of us.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_01: Applebee's.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 40:17
  Matt: Okay.
• 40:17
  Matt: Do you want to call dibs on one of them?
• 40:19
  Matt: Fridays dies.
• 40:21
  Matt: I don't know.
• 40:22
  Matt: I'm putting them as two separate things.
• 40:24
  Matt: Fridays, because we could always come back.
• 40:26
  Matt: Applebee's dies.
• 40:27
  Matt: You know, I'm not convinced either will die.
• 40:30
  Matt: Because listen, if fucking Long John Silvers, which has to be a front for some sort, some some sort of something, because have you ever seen anyone eating at a Long John Silvers, and yet there's not only still around, they're everywhere.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, how about this?
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_01: Either Applebee's or Fridays files for bankruptcy?
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_01: I think that constitutes his dying as an organization if you file for bankruptcy.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_01: Or, oh, how about this is even better.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_01: And this is assuming they aren't already owned by the same company.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_01: Fridays or either Fridays will buy Applebee's or Applebee's will buy Fridays.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's see.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_01: TGI Fridays.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_01: I think I'm landing on it now.
• 41:13
  Matt: There will be a merger.
• 41:14
  Matt: Oh a merger.
• 41:15
  Matt: Okay.
• 41:15
  Matt: Yeah.
• 41:16
  Matt: Oh no, TGI Fridays is owned by TriArtisans Capital Advisors.
• 41:24
  Matt: That sounds like a front.
• 41:26
  Matt: Okay.
• 41:27
  Matt: It it sure doesn't sound normal.
• 41:31
  Matt: Frapplebees.
• 41:32
  Matt: Applebee's owner is not listed on the Ruby Fridays.
• 41:37
  Matt: In a happy way.
• 41:38
  Matt: Apple Tuesdays.
• 41:40
  Matt: I will assume that they are not the same owner.
• 41:45
  Matt: So, okay, so what were you saying?
• 41:47
  Matt: Sorry.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think uh uh I was just going through the head of the list of like all like the fun little mishmash names that'll never happen.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, sure, sure, sure.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, okay, so I think I think I think one of the major boomer chains, like Fridays, Applebee's, Chili's, fucking Ruby Tuesdays, will will absorb one of the others.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think this is the year one of one of them comes out on top.
• 42:10
  Matt: Didn't Ruby Tuesdays close officially?
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, did they?
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_01: Or did they just really square it back?
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_01: They they really squared it back.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_01: They went from crazy shit on the wall restaurant to to casual fast dining.
• 42:23
  Matt: Ruby Tuesday, I didn't mean to say, I don't know what square it back actually actually means.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_01: I kind of like it.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_01: I I kind of like that for square back.
• 42:32
  Matt: They sc scaled back is what I was going for, but they that's what I interpreted that.
• 42:38
  Matt: In 2021, they only had 209 locations.
• 42:41
  Matt: That's not many.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's that's at least enough for like what four in every state.
• 42:49
  Matt: I guess, yeah, you're right.
• 42:51
  Matt: So, okay, so so you're not you want to scale it back from it being two separate things to major casual dining chain will close.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_01: I I think major casual dining chain will close.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_01: One of the big ones, Ruby Tuesdays, Fridays, Applebee's.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I'm missing one uh Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, Applebee's there chilies.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_01: There we go.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_01: There it is.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_01: I even throw out back in there.
• 43:19
  Matt: There will be a major Bigfoot sighting in which an to the and what I mean by major is yeah a official organization of some type will will need to comment on it.
• 43:38
  Matt: And what I mean is I don't mean about a finding Bigfoot association, I mean like the national parks need to have a press conference or the white or somebody needs.
• 43:50
  Matt: I'm not saying they prove or disprove it.
• 43:52
  Matt: I'm just saying it's gonna rise to the level that someone important says we have to address this.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_01: We we gotta address the sad.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_01: Squatch in the room.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_01: Bigfoot incident.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_01: I will write Bigfoot incident.
• 44:07
  Eric: Oh my god, I love it.
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_01: And this could, depending on how that shakes out, I know it doesn't have to shake out, but if depending on how it shakes out, that could also get me my someone goes to jail over AI generated art.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my God.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_01: So good.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um, this is the year I think that um, and this might this this is this is definitely dipping into an like I don't want to tread on other podcast toes looking at you, ma'am bam, but I do think this is the year the chicken sandwich war ends.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, I think I think it's still going.
• 44:40
  Matt: I know it's still going, but it is entering a bit of a cold war.
• 44:44
  Matt: That's what I mean.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think this is the year they kind of give that.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think this is the year that that marketing gives that one up.
• 44:50
  Matt: They're like, all right, it's I don't think so, because that would require other restaurants being like, yeah, so and so's chicken sandwich is better.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_01: You know what?
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, okay, here for specificity, I will say this.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_01: There will be a joint press release from the social media marketing, you know, uh for for all these different uh where they will they will they will do a bit.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_01: They're gonna do a bit where they all reach peace and agree that everyone's sandwiches are good.
• 45:19
  Matt: Uh now, okay, actually, you saying that makes me think I think something along the lines of that did happen last year, but then other other things happen.
• 45:31
  Matt: So, but we we can put that down and we can research it another time.
• 45:35
  Matt: Um, so and if it turns out to have already happened, then whatever.
• 45:40
  Matt: Uh disqualification.
• 45:41
  Matt: Disqualification.
• 45:42
  Matt: So let's see.
• 45:44
  Matt: That is good.
• 45:45
  Matt: We'll put that that there will be some joint chicken war-based press conference.
• 45:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um something's gonna get legalized.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's not gonna be weed, not at the federal level.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_01: But something, something here too super illegal is gonna get legalized.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_01: I'll even accept at the state level, as long as it's like the first state legalizes blank.
• 46:09
  Matt: Oh, like the very first state to legalize such and such.
• 46:13
  Matt: Yes.
• 46:13
  Matt: Mad magic mushrooms.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, like Colorado and psilocybin.
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um you know, actually, here we go.
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go, here we go.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, it's not gonna get legalized.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but I will say that there will be a major legislative push in one state, and it'll be enough that it w it's worrisome to le to to make it legal to duel again.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_01: Someone's gonna try to bring back legal dueling.
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_01: Legalizing dueling.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_01: Someone's gonna make that their platform.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 46:46
  Matt: Legalizing dueling plat effort will take place.
• 46:50
  Matt: Yes.
• 46:51
  Matt: Okay.
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_01: If if it gets to the point where I need to sign a petition to stop it, it's gotten it's gotten big enough.
• 46:57
  Matt: Oh, you know what?
• 46:59
  Matt: The daily show will be will, this is a fact, will be getting a new host.
• 47:06
  Matt: Oh, they will.
• 47:07
  Matt: Okay.
• 47:08
  Matt: So we could, I mean, so right now.
• 47:10
  Matt: Do you want to speculate as to who that new host is gonna be?
• 47:13
  Matt: We we have guest hosts happening because I was trying to think of like, oh, we could have guessed like the Jeopardy host, but that's the ship has sailed.
• 47:20
  Matt: But we could guess the new host of the daily show.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_01: I dig it.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_01: Who do you think?
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_01: Because I haven't watched the daily show in years.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_01: You're much more in tune to this than I am.
• 47:30
  Matt: Um, I mean, I watch the clips mostly from the daily show.
• 47:33
  Matt: Oh, baby, baby.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_01: I just I just watch it for the clips.
• 47:36
  Matt: I j I rarely watch for the clips sit down and watch like a whole episode.
• 47:40
  Matt: Um, but I mean I did really like it.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think it'll be a female host.
• 47:45
  Matt: I do think that's a high probability.
• 47:48
  Matt: Yep.
• 47:48
  Matt: And I'm not talking about the guest hosts that they're having in the meantime, because the first one's Leslie Jones.
• 47:53
  Matt: And I it could it could be a Jeopardy thing where it could be one of the guest hosts ends up being the host, or it could just be someone at a left field.
• 48:01
  Matt: Because also like a candidate that I that is a that is a guest host is Chelsea Handler, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_01: Sarah Silverman too, let me hit you with this, and this like mind you, this is just straight off the dome.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_01: This is not within a like, this isn't like a I but I could see it happening.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_01: Kate McKinnon.
• 48:20
  Matt: Ooh, ooh.
• 48:21
  Matt: Well, I'll tell you this also, because James Corden is leaving the Late Late show.
• 48:27
  Matt: Oh no, nightmare scenario.
• 48:30
  Matt: A success.
• 48:31
  Matt: No, I'm we're all universally happy about it, but the No Nightmare scenario that he comes and hosts the fucking daily show.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_01: Never will.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_01: That will never be.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_01: Never in a million years.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_01: God.
• 48:41
  Matt: But we could do we could do the daily show, or I would argue potentially more uh higher profile is the late late show, we could name that host, in which I think Kate McKinnon is a decent candidate.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
• 48:56
  SPEAKER_01: Kate McKinnon, give Kate McKinnon a fucking talk show.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_01: Please give Kate McKinnon a talk show.
• 49:01
  Matt: Like Are we saying Kate McKinnon named late late show host?
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I I I'm I'm all for that.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_01: And honest to God, now I'm thinking if James Corden somehow threw some mirror, he'd have to save like a train full of people, but if he's the redemption arc of 2023, no one saw that coming.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_01: No one saw that.
• 49:19
  Matt: No one saw that coming.
• 49:21
  Matt: I would not weigh in on that.
• 49:22
  Matt: He seems like such a piece of shit.
• 49:24
  Matt: Oh, yeah.
• 49:24
  Matt: Documented, provably so.
• 49:27
  Matt: Oh, yes.
• 49:27
  Matt: Okay, so Eric, that is 25 items.
• 49:32
  Matt: Do we have any bonus ones?
• 49:34
  Matt: Do we have any more?
• 49:35
  Matt: Do we take those 25 and I arrange our bingo cards as we like?
• 49:42
  Matt: Yes.
• 49:44
  Matt: Or do we keep going and we can swat some in?
• 49:47
  Matt: Because that would require both of us, that would require both of us to have both deaths.
• 49:51
  Matt: That would, you know, all that stuff.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think we keep going.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_01: I think we keep going for a little bit because I'm enjoying this so much.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_01: But then each of us, I think, chooses what's on our cards.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes, 100%.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, let's keep going.
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.

  Matt: Oh, yeah.
• 50:29
  Matt: So that's already been that's already been pushed back.
• 50:31

• 50:42
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm, that hasn't already happened.
• 50:44
