  Speaker 1: finished up the regular season, I think, and there was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a picture of the offense and Marshawn Lynch, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and it was basically the offense that it was Sam Darnold.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Who was a redhead. Okay, So the tweet was something about,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you know, way to go?
• 3:54

  Speaker 3: Richard Sherman at one point on the sideline they had
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: the they had him miked up and he's like, so
• 4:24

  Speaker 2: and feels and makes no apologies for it.

  Speaker 1: There is not an ounce of pretentiousness in him. It
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: is this is me, take it or leave it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he really is about it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he really is one of the classic examples of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: just because he's no longer in the hood doesn't mean
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: he's not still there emotionally, right, Like just because he
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: went off and got big and had a you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars in earnings as an NFL player, he has.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He is the essence of keeping it real.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. He spends the holidays with his best friend who
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: still lives in the hood. Like he goes to the
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: hood and that's where like he leaves his million dollar
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: mansion and goes and hangs out. They give out turkeys

  Speaker 3: When he asked him what his favorite ord is, I'm
• 7:20

  Speaker 2: do you what do you think it's like?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: And he's like, g's up hose down.

  Speaker 3: the fun. Uh.

  Speaker 2: Rockstar Games, the company behind the popular Grand Theft Auto game,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: may have given a terminally ill fan the ability to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: play test the highly anticipated but delay GTA six game.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Ubi Soft Toronto game developer Anthony Armstrong took the LinkedIn
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: back in December to plead with rock Star to let
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: a family member play test the game. Since he was
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: given no more than a year to live, Armstrong offered
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: to sign an NDA if it was able to happen.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: He made two updates to the post before deleting it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: According to Insider Gaming, a few weeks after the post,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the first explained for the CEO of Take two Interactive
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Software Incorporated, Rockstar Games publishing company had reached out. He said,
• 8:46

• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to discuss this further. Thank you to everyone who's shown support,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: reshared and reached out to your contacts for us. The
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: final update said they had gotten great news and added
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: thanks again, but could not explain further. It's unclear if
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the fan was able to play test the game. Rockstar
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: has not commented publicly. The sixth installment of the cult
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: classic video game series, originally set to come out Fall

  Speaker 3: nobody's stopping this kid. So I go to the manager.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I was like, this kid needs to leave because he's
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: visibly sick, like I can see it. I'm like, he
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: needs to go home, like he needs to get out,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: he's going to get this whole restaurant sick today so
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they can't sing. Well, no, I just want to I
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: don't want people to get sick, especially after having the
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: blood infection uh and then the flu after that. Uh.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: And I just went to the table because he's like,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I can't ask them to leave, and I was like, well,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I'm Indian, I can. And I was like, you need
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to tell this kid. You guys have to take this
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: kid home. And they're like, yeah, we know he's not
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: feeling great, but we have guests in from out of town,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: so we're here for lunch. I was like, he's going
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: to get this entire And then this kid in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: time that I said all of this probably coughed on
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: me ten times.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Is he even trying to cough or anything?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: He I mean, he was trying to do the elbow thing,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: but he was missing like this kid, I mean, he's
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: a spelling wee kid. He's not like he's not going
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: He doesn't understand how to cover that up like like
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: an athlete would. He's more of an athlete.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't think coughing in your elbow was a performative
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: task or something that it takes athletic skill.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: To me, Oh, you know how to do it, Like,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: look if you're in the dugout or if you're on
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the sideline, like, you know how to do it. This
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: kid is like, oh, I'm a spelling bee kid. Anyway,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: he coughed on me about ten times, and about five
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: o'clock this morning, I woke up and my joints, like
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: my fingers were just in so much pain, and my
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: nose was running, and I was like, here we go.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: And I know that kid got everybody at that table
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: sick guaranteed, and everybody in that restaurant is guaranteed to
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: have the flu. I don't know why, It's just.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It boggles my mind that, yeah, you still see people
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: wearing masks, but never the people that actually really should
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: be wearing a mask are the ones doing it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Well, it seems. I think you're right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I think the people that continue to wear masks are
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the ones that are protecting themselves from the people who
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: should be.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Oh well, yeah. I asked the manager. I was like,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: can you get this kid a mask at least, like
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: that's the least you can do, And they're like, no,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: if the parents ask for one, we can't. They're like
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: all these rules and regulations or whatever, and he's just
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: gonna get everybody sick. And there was elderly people at
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: that table, so I'm thinking he's gonna kill one of
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: his grandparents.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Well such his life is is? Uh is what a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: lot of people.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Say, Well, that's that's what his grandpa's gonna say on
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: the last minute, because I mean he was an older,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: older gentleman like yeah, probably in his like late eighties.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, you're coughing around this guy, Like I'm
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I'll be okay, I could still go to a hospital.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: This guy's not I'm gonna I mean, it's not it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: It won't be good for that guy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but it sounds a lot
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to me, like not only did this kid get you sick,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: but he also infected your internet like hard, like it's
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: not just your joints that are that are locking up. Well,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: we hope you feel better and you're now you're muted.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: The The lesson here is if you want, if you
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: notice a sick person that is getting everyone around them sick,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: don't go to the table to tell them to go away.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Shout it from across the room, write it down on
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: a sheet of paper and hold it up. You know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: something along those lines.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I did try that. I did ask them from a
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: cross because I was just waiting for my food from
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: across the way. I was like, can you please take
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: that kid home? He's visibly sick, and they pretend okay.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: So here's here's what I just ordered, Like I order
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: on the phone. No, I just order on the phone,
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: and I just go up.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: To the bar. That's where they that's where they have
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the to go. So I just go and pick it
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: up and that's it. So I was just waiting because
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: it was a little delay, and so that was it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: So in the future, if you're going in to pick
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: up food and you see a sick child or an
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: adult who's hacking up bacteria and viruses and god knows
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: what else, and they're not responding to you verbally saying
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: go away, you then need to get some distance between
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you and them, okay, and then just rely on hand gestures. Okay,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: point at them, do the throat slip thing with your thumb,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and then point back.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: At as an Indian guy.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, in this case, it was another Indian family.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: So I think the restaurant would be fine.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: With it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: So then the next one is you point the finger
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: again and then you make the gun hand gesture at
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: them and then point to the door. Or you go
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: along to you thing, you point it yourself, and then
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: you point at them and then bang bang gun fingers
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and then point to the door. Then that should get
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: them to leave.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Sure, And how long do you think before Ice shows up?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you have nothing to worry about as long as
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you've got your papers. Forget probable cause or anything like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You just gonna have to have your papers now. Or
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: if you want to make it really efficient, just go
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: around everywhere with just so it's a fabric on your
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: shirt with a big sea on it for citizen. That way,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: it just streams, streamlines the whole process.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, I mean I'll write you guys from getmouh.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I mean there was no hint of hent of irony
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: with the Indian guy getting tacos.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, you have no idea how much Indian people love
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: taco bell brother, you have no clue.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Well, and on top of that, the only thing really
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: more ironic would be Ice going into a taco joint
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: solely for tacos. Like, no, really, we're just here for lunch,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: but no one believes it. Sorry, there's no tacos because
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: the whole kitchen staff just.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Went out the back. Well again, we hope you feel better.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to do my best. I have my antibiotics
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: and I'm good. So we're taking those every couple hours,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: so we should be fined in a couple of days.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Well, let's touch on something we know about all too well,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: and that is the dumbing down of entertainment. So Matt
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Damon and Ben Affleck are on their promotional tour for
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: their new Netflix movie The Rip, and they went on
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Joe Rogan's podcast on Friday and shared this little tidbit.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: I think you know, you're watching in a room.
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: The lights are on, other shit's going on, the kids
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: are running around, the dogs are running around, whatever it is,
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean. It's just a very different
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: level of attention that you're willing to or that you're
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: able to give to it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: So he's talking about watching television shows and movies at
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: home as opposed to the theater.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: And that has a big effect, and it also ends
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: up having an effect or is starting to have an
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: effect on how you make movies, like, for instance, Netflix.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: You know, standard way to make an action movie that
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: we learned was, you know, you usually have like three
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: set pieces, one in the first act one and the
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: second one and the third and you know, you kind
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: of they kind of ramp up and the big one
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: with all the explosions, and you spend most of your
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: money on that one in the third act.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: That's your kind of finale.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: And now they're you know, they're like, can we get
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: a big one in the first five minutes to get somebody?
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: You know, we want people to stay yeah, tuned in
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: and ken and you know, it wouldn't be terrible if
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: you reiterated the plot three or four times in the
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: dialogue because people are on their phones while.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: They're watching, you know what I mean.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: And so then it's gonna really start to infringe on
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: how we're telling about.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Now this has gone somewhat viral. It's very news worthy.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Last couple of days, I've seen this headline everywhere Matt Damon,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Ben Affleck on Rogan's podcast talk about how Netflix is
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: needing people to reiterate the plot in the dialogue in
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the shows because everyone's watching on their phones. The thing
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: that I thought was interesting was like four months ago,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: on a different podcast, an actress said this exact same thing.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: So this is not an isolated deal. This was just
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: more attention being brought to something that's been happening because
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: of the fame that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon bring
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: to it. This is Jamila Jamil, actress on I forget
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: the name of the show it's on here. It's a
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: British podcast, I believe, and she says the exact same thing.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: And this is from a few months ago where of this.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: But there's something called second screen viewing, right, so it's
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: a directive that's being handed out out by big studios
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: to filmmakers.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: This sounds like what I'm I'm really hoping it isn't
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: It is exactly what you probably think it is.
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: This is something which is so that which means that
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: you have to acknowledge that people are on their phones
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: the whole time they're watching Telly, so you have to
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: simplify the plot so that they'll be able to follow
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: along while they're browsing on their phone. So that's why
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: you'll notice now in random light in TV shows, even
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: with good actors, they're saying really obvious things about what's happening.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: They're laying out the entire plot line and all of
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: their emotions and motivations. Like the language has become really
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: bait and on the nose. And that's because they're being told,
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: the writers that they have to write in a way
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: that someone can carry on with doom scrolling or shopping
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: online while following it in the background. So nothing can
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: be too complex, nothing can be too high end. It
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: has to be like we are. We are purposefully dumbing
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: down content, and that is leading to a less nuanced,
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: less interesting, less thoughtful society.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Say wow, yeah, I believe it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations, We're all idiots now. Uh And and this
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: bothers me to no end because I'm very big on
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: if I'm going to watch a show, if I'm going
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: to watch a movie, I don't want to be on
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: my phone doing something else because I want to pay
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: attention to what I'm seeing, because I don't want to
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: miss something. I want to I want to give it
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: my undivided attention.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: This is sad. Yeah, but we're old, Like that's what
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: you did as a kid, Like you just watched whatever
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: was on TV, like you know you had you know,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: there was family time, like we had every Friday. We
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: would get like long John Silvers or pizza in uh
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: and watch Dallas like that was the thing. And you
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: the phone, nobody answered the phone, nobody answered anything. Uh.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: And then when we got older, like I do this now,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I'll put my phone away. I'll put my phone much
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: or yeah, if I'm watching a movie that I really
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: really interested in, just so there's no distractions. I mean
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: this yeah, well this.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Is I mean, this goes back when uh, you know,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: top Gun Matt, when Tom Cruise was adamant about his
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: movies being in the theater not getting released home video.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: This was kind of the same thing. He said, you know,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it's a different viewing experience. People don't pay attention at home.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh yeah. My ex, her daughter, I mean I
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: think she's going to be seventeen or eighteen now, but
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I mean that was her thing. Like we would be
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: like we would have to tell her, like put your
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: phone now, put your phone away, put your phone in
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: your purse. When we're at the movies, and if we're
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: at home, it didn't matter. Like literally, you could have
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: anything happen on TV and this kid wouldn't know because
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: she's my ex was guilty of it as well, because
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: she would be on YouTube or at See or Amazon
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: doing the same thing, and I'm like, am I the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: only one watching the movie? Yes? Yeah, yeah, I'd like.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: And that's that's why it's this fascinated me is because
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I saw that clip of Jimmie lejimil like back in October,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: and I thought, my god, I hope this is not
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: going to actually happen. It's just something that's being floated.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: And then it now has one hundred percent credibility because
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you got Matt Damon and Ben Affleck talking about it, saying, yeah,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Netflix wants us to do this because people are at
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: home not paying close attention to what's happening, which means
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: eventually in movies we're going to have, you know, the
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: good guy you know or the bad guy is doing
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: something and they're going to have to say the thing
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: they're doing as they're doing it because someone may not
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: be watching.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Right, It's like I.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Am now hitting you in the face because you took
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: my daughter.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, imagine, okay, so great example. Imagine taking on those rules. Yeah, right,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: that the movie.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: The whole point of movies and television is to watch them.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: The whole point is you don't say in the dialogue
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: what's happening if you can see it, that's the whole point.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: If you start doing that, then we might as well
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: go back to radio days of having your cereals and
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: your dramas on radio without the picture, because you're just
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: you know, it's exposition left and right and you're right rise.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, just imagine, you know, Liam Mason talking throughout
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: every kill.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I'm kicking you in the knee because you stole my daughter.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I'm punching you in the throat because you stole my daughter.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: All the I'm shooting you in the elevator four times
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: because this is the director's cut, not the theater edition
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: where I only shot you twice. Yeah, it's just dumb,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: but I'm afraid that's where we're headed.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I'm on a plane and there are snakes.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Couldn't you just show us there on the plane? Do
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: you really have to say it? I don't think this
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: needs to be spelled out? And then meanwhile, you got
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: a thirteen year old looking up going what's going on?
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I don't get it?
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: But also, yeah, I think it speaks to the writing
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: as well, because an example of where this is not
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the case stranger things. So if you have really good writing,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I think it can still stand on its own and
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: will keep people's interests. But I think a lot of
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much out there, yeah that when
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I think you have and the majority of it, I'll
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: say just mid content, and I think to keep people's attention,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: then yeah, they have to have the bells and whistles
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and repetition and everything else.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a strong believer in don't dumb things down
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: for people. Instead, do your thing and put it on
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: the audience. If they're attracted to this content, whether it's
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: film or television or even a social media video, elevate them.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Like if you know a really good word that fits
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: in someplace, but maybe it's an eleventh grade word instead
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: of a seventh grade word, which is what people typically
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: say to recommend your writing level should be at, which
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: is more of a seventh grade level than to advanced.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Use the big word.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: If it's really good and it fits, let someone learn
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: or you know, bring them up a little bit. As
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: opposed to you dumbing yourself down for the masses.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It was very verbose.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I mean you've also said, like I'm going to rewatch
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: this I'm going to rewatch this. I'm going to rewatch
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: these episodes. So that means that you've spaced out on
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: some of what you were missing or to try to
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: catch up or making sure that you have all the context.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Line, Oh, I love context. Context is important.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: And right, But then you're guilty of that as well.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: How I don't understand, because if you watched it the
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: first time, like it's like the like the Bourne series, right,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Like I love the Born series just because it's just
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: fun to watch. But I don't have to rewatch it,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: like I know the exact plot and scale of the movie.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: But if you're going, hey, I got to rewatch this
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: before season five, that's saying that you there's some context
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: that you're missing.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Possibly, No, that just means that I've watched a lot
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: of things since then. Like before I watched season five
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: of Stranger Things, I rewatched you know, the season four
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: to kind of build up to it, and the Duffers
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: had put out like four episodes to watch throughout the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: entirety of the series to kind of remind yourself of
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: certain little things. I don't think there's anything wrong with that,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: because it's hard to remember something that happened in season
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: two when all these other things have stacked that have
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: happened on top of it. That's just And also, I have,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: you know, crap memory, and I've also watched fifteen other
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: movies or television shows in between, so I'm not going
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: to retain every tiny nugget.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you're also talking about in a season like with Stranger,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: things like ten hours of content that you're trying to
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: remember versus a two hour movie.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I mean, I'm okay, yeah, fair. I mean,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I pay it the stuff that I truly care about
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and want to watch.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I watch it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I stare at it, and to a point to where
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: it may want to, you know, issue some type of
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: restraining order against me. I'm watching it so intently, I'm
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: like a stalker.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. How was my dry bar special? I loved it.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I've never seen anybody lie that well. I'm phenomenal at
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: it when I try.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: If I really focus on the lie, I could do
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: it really good.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: That was fantastic. Brother, your faith said, you have a special?
