• 7:32
  Speaker 3: So Walter Goggins not great.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Live, not really, no not.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I think he needs a few takes.

  Speaker 5: Because when he did well, when he did the film bits.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Good, That's what I'm saying.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: But the live stuff he struggled with.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I guess it's just not his Yeah, he's not known
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: for his Broadway work.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: But he was singing.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: He was singing as well and did a very good.

• 8:08
  Speaker 3: They have the moms come out.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: And the second amendment was fun. That was but that
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: was just him playing a character he's played millions of
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: times before.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: And the new season of the Poker Face on Peacock.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: The first episode, I don't know if you've started it yet.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: I watched it and I was underwhelmed. Really, I thought
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Cynthia Revo was playing like five six different roles. That
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: was pretty interesting.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: No, just didn't grab me Bill once more, once more.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know why it's a not enough Columbo for you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just seemed just watch Colombo. It just seemed
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: not just I didn't have a lot of energy.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well kind of. I don't know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Maybe you were hot because I don't have a lot
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: of energy.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I was. No, I was drunk, so maybe that was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: probably we have nine more episodes to get it together.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: After that, I tried to watch that Havoc, that movie
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: with oh Tom Hardy to good God.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: That was awful.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Finally turned it off about two thirds of the way through.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I can't watch this anymore. This is awful. Sorry to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: hear that.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to say something that is blasphemous.
