WEBVTT

00:00:26.259 --> 00:00:28.140
Hey, welcome back to The Shane and I Show. My

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.500
name is Shane. My name is Max, and my dog's hella

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:34.679
cute. Your dog is kind of cute. Yep. She always

00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.140
barks at me when I have a backpack on. She barks

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:39.579
at anybody who's carrying just a large inanimate

00:00:39.579 --> 00:00:42.759
object. Or a large animate object. Like if I

00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.079
pick up my wife. Right. She'll start barking.

00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:49.539
And then I put her down and she's fine. And then

00:00:49.539 --> 00:00:52.820
I pick her up again. And she starts barking again.

00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.240
What a strange dog. You move a chair, you move

00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.579
a table. Any object that's like... She's a little

00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:02.299
skittish. Yeah, and if you move anything that's

00:01:02.299 --> 00:01:04.959
larger than her, which is... Everything. Yeah,

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:06.680
which is everything. She's a tiny dog. She's

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.079
five pounds. Yeah. Hey, this is the podcast about

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.900
nothing. That makes you think of something. And

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:15.239
man, we got... Well, I think this episode will

00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.299
come out in January. We almost got... We're recording

00:01:17.299 --> 00:01:19.599
in December, so I think it counts as two episodes

00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.099
in December. Sure, why not? If that makes you

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:28.319
feel better. Yeah. It makes me feel like we actually

00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.719
did something this month besides, you know, life.

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.140
I feel like life is enough. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.700
Life is enough. Yeah. But when you got a podcast

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:40.060
and you got to make the people laugh. Right.

00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:42.500
You got, you got a responsibility. You got a

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.900
responsibility. Yeah. You know. All right. I

00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:49.700
was, I was thinking that it's going to be 2026

00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:53.209
when this episode comes out. Is it? Yeah. Wow.

00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:55.290
Cause I don't think I'll have time to edit it

00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:58.810
and get it out until probably New Year's day.

00:01:59.530 --> 00:02:02.329
That that's cool. Yeah. Well, we'll have a new

00:02:02.329 --> 00:02:04.489
year's drop for everybody. We'll have a new year's

00:02:04.489 --> 00:02:06.849
drop for everybody. New year, new episode. New

00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:09.469
year, new episode. How do you feel about the

00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:12.550
new year, new me thing? Oh, that's bullshit.

00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:17.930
New year, same you. Like the difference between

00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:23.590
11 59 on the 31st of December. and 12 o 'clock

00:02:23.590 --> 00:02:27.469
on the first of January. Right. Is you are one

00:02:27.469 --> 00:02:29.870
minute older. That's it. That's the only difference.

00:02:29.949 --> 00:02:32.229
And a minute is not a lot of time. Yeah. In the

00:02:32.229 --> 00:02:35.590
course of a human life. I think when you're younger,

00:02:35.650 --> 00:02:38.210
it's important to set goals and whatnot. But

00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:40.449
I think, like... I think even when you're older,

00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:42.949
it's important to set goals. Yeah, but a new

00:02:42.949 --> 00:02:45.870
year, new me just seems like... Like, how many

00:02:45.870 --> 00:02:47.830
times are you gonna do it? Right? How many times

00:02:47.830 --> 00:02:49.789
are you gonna do a new year, new me thing and

00:02:49.789 --> 00:02:53.189
you're gonna fail? Right. I try to make very

00:02:53.189 --> 00:02:56.889
like every now and then because New Year's resolutions

00:02:56.889 --> 00:02:59.270
are bullshit. Right. But if I'm going to do something

00:02:59.270 --> 00:03:01.930
like that, I try to make it a small attainable

00:03:01.930 --> 00:03:04.449
thing. Yeah, I do too. Yeah. Like I want to be

00:03:04.449 --> 00:03:06.389
a better person. Like I want to do something

00:03:06.389 --> 00:03:09.030
better this year than I did last year. Like maybe

00:03:09.030 --> 00:03:12.069
be a little nicer. You know what I mean? Yeah.

00:03:12.469 --> 00:03:14.969
For me, if I'm going to achieve anything, it

00:03:14.969 --> 00:03:17.770
has to be something specific and something small

00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:21.129
and something. So it would be like, This year,

00:03:21.430 --> 00:03:28.909
I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I can't

00:03:28.909 --> 00:03:33.009
think of anything. You're not gonna poop as much?

00:03:33.750 --> 00:03:36.629
You poop as much as you poop. You can't control

00:03:36.629 --> 00:03:42.909
that. I know. Yeah, I know. Everything that comes

00:03:42.909 --> 00:03:46.189
in must go out. Everything. Everything. Right.

00:03:46.849 --> 00:03:51.180
Sometimes it hurts coming out. I was, no, I was

00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:53.520
just thinking because I got, I know people that

00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.680
buy into the new year, new me thing. Yeah. Like

00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.039
they fully buy in like this year, it's going

00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.360
to be different this year. And then they have

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.979
this fucking list of like 25 things they're going

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:07.400
to achieve for the year. And I'm like, how many

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.300
of that stuff did you achieve last year? And

00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:12.900
they're like, none. This year is going to be

00:04:12.900 --> 00:04:15.379
different. It's different this year, man. It's

00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:19.269
different. I have hope. And then February 1st

00:04:19.269 --> 00:04:21.069
rolls around, and you're like, I'm fucking done.

00:04:21.569 --> 00:04:25.110
Oh, yeah. I've never really set New Year's resolutions.

00:04:25.670 --> 00:04:28.569
I've never been into big New Year's guides, if

00:04:28.569 --> 00:04:31.269
I'm really thinking about it. Me neither. Like,

00:04:31.389 --> 00:04:33.069
I've never gone out, even when I was getting,

00:04:33.069 --> 00:04:35.870
like, loaded, loaded. Like, I've never gone out

00:04:35.870 --> 00:04:39.290
and partied on New Year's. But it would be, I

00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:41.829
would party, like, three days before New Year's,

00:04:41.829 --> 00:04:46.519
and it would continue. I know what you mean.

00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:50.360
The one time back before I sobered up, the one

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.279
time that I was like, you know what? This New

00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.480
Year's Eve is going to be wild. Yeah. I fucking

00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.839
like, it was, it was, it was just kind of shitty

00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.379
instead, right? I went to downtown Denver and

00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:06.860
I slipped in the snow and fell on my ass in the

00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:09.259
middle of the street. Yeah. And then I'm like,

00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:11.720
ah, God damn it. Now I'm all wet and uncomfortable.

00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:16.279
And so I took the light rail home and I got home

00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.079
and I realized I forgot a key. I locked myself

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.399
out of the house. Snow everywhere. That just

00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.540
doesn't sound like a good New Year. And so I

00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:27.279
hid out in my garage until my roommates got home.

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:30.040
That doesn't sound fun. No, it was a bummer,

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:34.500
man. Yeah, I think before I sobered up, there

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:38.399
was a New Year's there where I was like, I started

00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.480
partying on like the 27th of June. of December,

00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:46.000
and it just happened to roll into New Year's.

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.060
But by the time New Year's Eve rolled around,

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.420
I was so torn back that like six o 'clock I passed

00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:54.120
out. I believe it. And I was like, oh, just wake

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.879
me up. Just wake me up at midnight. When the

00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.759
bender ends, the bender ends, right? And it never

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.839
ends on a high note. No. And it never ends with

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.120
grace. No. And I think the people I was with

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.680
that night, I could remember them being like,

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:11.740
yeah, dude, just go to sleep. Yeah. It just passed

00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:16.540
out. Please. Um, and then get it. And then now

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:19.740
New Year's is like, dude, I'm asleep before midnight.

00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.620
Yeah, me too. I'm like, I'm passed out. Why would

00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:25.819
I stay up till midnight? Like there's no reason.

00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.759
There's no reason. Like, and I can, sometimes

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.160
I try, like sometimes I'm like, oh yeah, I'll

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.920
stay up until New Year's. I'll stay up until

00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.649
midnight. And like, No, it just never happens.

00:06:38.769 --> 00:06:42.129
I usually, if I do, if I'm like going out, if

00:06:42.129 --> 00:06:43.290
I'm like, okay, I'm going to go out and hang

00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:45.569
out with some friends in order for me to stay

00:06:45.569 --> 00:06:47.550
up for midnight. And this is a fucking fact.

00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:52.829
It, anything I do, cause I'm old, right? 85.

00:06:54.829 --> 00:06:58.269
I got to take a couple of naps. Naps helps man.

00:06:58.569 --> 00:07:01.810
Before I go out at night. I'm just like, okay,

00:07:01.829 --> 00:07:04.750
I'll do a couple of power naps. I'll be ready

00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:08.149
to go for the night. And sometimes that power,

00:07:08.290 --> 00:07:11.089
that second power nap does me in. I'm just like,

00:07:11.089 --> 00:07:13.470
I'm groggy. I'm fucking, I don't want to be there.

00:07:13.470 --> 00:07:16.610
And I'm just like, I'm done. You know what helps

00:07:16.610 --> 00:07:19.670
me? Like this, this is genuinely helpful. If

00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:22.990
I, if I like for some reason have to be up or

00:07:22.990 --> 00:07:28.930
out late is if I, with the exception of a small

00:07:28.930 --> 00:07:32.209
cup of morning coffee, if I completely abstain

00:07:32.209 --> 00:07:35.750
from caffeine all day until it's time to go out.

00:07:35.930 --> 00:07:38.589
Right. And then I hit the caffeine. Then you're

00:07:38.589 --> 00:07:41.230
good to go? I'm good to go. Right. Yeah. There

00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:44.050
was one time, there was one time, I think a few

00:07:44.050 --> 00:07:49.790
years ago. Yeah, it was a few years ago. I took

00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:52.110
some fucking, I woke up from a nap and I'm like,

00:07:52.350 --> 00:07:53.470
well, coffee's not going to be strong enough

00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:55.889
because I had that grogginess, right? Yeah. And

00:07:55.889 --> 00:07:58.529
I was really into pre -workout. Back then I was

00:07:58.529 --> 00:08:00.230
doing a lot of, it was when I was doing CrossFit.

00:08:00.410 --> 00:08:02.589
So it was a few years ago and I was like, I was

00:08:02.589 --> 00:08:04.430
like, I got some pre -workout. I'll take the

00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:07.769
pre -workout and I'll be good to go. That's just

00:08:07.769 --> 00:08:10.850
caffeinated protein powder. And dude, I was like

00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:14.230
fucking on one. Like I was so caffeinated. I

00:08:14.230 --> 00:08:17.069
was like, and then 1 a .m. rolled around and

00:08:17.069 --> 00:08:20.449
I'm like, I'm done. Done. Passing out. Fucking

00:08:20.449 --> 00:08:23.589
finished. Finished. Like it only lasted an hour,

00:08:23.670 --> 00:08:25.949
but at least I went out. Yeah, there you go.

00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:29.449
That's the thing, man. It's like, I don't know

00:08:29.449 --> 00:08:31.649
why people make it. I've never gotten why people

00:08:31.649 --> 00:08:33.309
make a big deal about New Year's. I can see,

00:08:33.389 --> 00:08:36.549
like, if you're a normal guy, like, just completely

00:08:36.549 --> 00:08:39.909
normal. Like, it's your one time a year to, like,

00:08:39.990 --> 00:08:43.330
let loose. Oh, yeah. Right? Absolutely. Like,

00:08:43.330 --> 00:08:45.210
you just go all bonkers and shit for that one

00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:48.139
time a year. Do all the shit, you know, eat gluten,

00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.379
whatever. Yeah. Also like, like, you know, if,

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.559
if you can, if you can be like, Hey, I'm going

00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.799
to go out and have fun tonight. And, and I'll

00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.379
have a little sniff of something to help that

00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:00.100
out. Right. That'll, that'll, that'll keep you

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:04.000
going. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's a New Year's is

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.100
a trippy, trippy thing. I don't know. And I've

00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:08.100
never gotten a whole New Year's kiss thing at

00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:11.149
midnight. Like I've never understood it. Is it

00:09:11.149 --> 00:09:13.009
like a good luck thing, or is it just like, what

00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:15.230
is the deal with the New Year's kiss? I think

00:09:15.230 --> 00:09:17.029
it's supposed to be good luck. It's just something

00:09:17.029 --> 00:09:19.850
people do. I honestly forgot anybody does it.

00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:23.450
People do it. Yeah. Hey, if you're out there

00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:25.570
and you do a New Year's kiss with your significant

00:09:25.570 --> 00:09:29.850
other, let me know why. Yeah. I'm generally curious.

00:09:30.970 --> 00:09:35.570
Generally curious. But I was also thinking last

00:09:35.570 --> 00:09:39.929
year at this time, we did a 2025 prediction episode.

00:09:40.250 --> 00:09:42.509
Mm -hmm, and I was gonna listen to the whole

00:09:42.509 --> 00:09:45.730
thing, but I didn't I listened to our top like

00:09:45.730 --> 00:09:50.289
two Predictions, I wish I had had the thought

00:09:50.289 --> 00:09:52.929
to listen to it, right? Sometimes I like going

00:09:52.929 --> 00:09:54.389
back and listening to our old episodes Yeah,

00:09:54.490 --> 00:09:57.450
me too, but I wish specifically I had had the

00:09:57.450 --> 00:10:00.250
thought to listen to that before This today,

00:10:00.429 --> 00:10:03.230
right? I only thought of it this afternoon because

00:10:03.230 --> 00:10:05.370
we could do a wrap -up and like see how right

00:10:05.370 --> 00:10:08.049
or wrong we were here's it We got the top two.

00:10:08.230 --> 00:10:10.250
Okay, we were just like what were the top two

00:10:10.250 --> 00:10:13.269
the top two were the top two 25 predictions I

00:10:13.269 --> 00:10:16.610
had one which was taking it easy taking it easy,

00:10:16.929 --> 00:10:19.269
which I don't think many people did in 2025 No,

00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:22.110
that's not a prediction. Is that was that a prediction?

00:10:22.190 --> 00:10:24.429
You predicted people were gonna take it easy

00:10:24.429 --> 00:10:27.370
people weren't gonna be so serious Really? Yeah,

00:10:27.370 --> 00:10:31.490
and they're gonna relax a little And you went

00:10:31.490 --> 00:10:34.409
along with me. Did I? Yeah. Wow. That was wishful

00:10:34.409 --> 00:10:37.429
thinking. All right. That didn't work out so

00:10:37.429 --> 00:10:43.470
well. No. So my 2026 prediction is people are

00:10:43.470 --> 00:10:49.190
going to take it easy. Yeah. Uh, I'm not going

00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:51.690
to jump on that one. I think I'm going to go

00:10:51.690 --> 00:10:54.169
to yours now. Okay. What was mine? Yours was

00:10:54.169 --> 00:10:56.409
bell bottoms are coming back. Bell bottoms are

00:10:56.409 --> 00:10:58.450
coming back. Yeah. Did that? I don't think they

00:10:58.450 --> 00:11:00.029
did. No, they didn't. No, they didn't. People

00:11:00.029 --> 00:11:03.090
are wearing skinny jeans. Yeah. Girls are wearing

00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:05.690
skinny jeans with holes in them. And the big

00:11:05.690 --> 00:11:08.210
baggy, the jankos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People are

00:11:08.210 --> 00:11:11.519
wearing that again. Like it's 1990. Yeah. Fucking

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.519
Limp Bizkit made a comeback in 2025. Didn't see

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.379
that coming. Neither did I. I didn't even predict

00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:19.480
that, I don't think. Yeah. I don't think I did.

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.659
But fuck. We're living in weird times. Paramore

00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:28.460
did a world tour. Did they? Yeah. I thought they

00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:32.440
broke up. Well, they got back together and did

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.360
a world tour in 2025. There's bands like that

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.340
I don't fucking care about. I don't care about

00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:41.220
Paramore. I don't particularly either, but they

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:44.259
had a few bangers. I'll give them that. What

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:46.519
was the other band I didn't care for about that

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.460
everybody thought was a big deal? There's another

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:50.360
one. There's more than one. I know there's more

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.440
than one, but that kind of paramour kind of genre.

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.740
They were from Las Vegas. What the fuck was their

00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:06.179
name? I really doubt it. Is this... People were

00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:08.960
like they're... they make great albums and I

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.179
listen to one of their records and I'm like,

00:12:10.179 --> 00:12:11.860
I fucking don't get it. And I can't remember

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:16.980
the name of the band. All right. Yeah, it's slipping

00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:18.679
my mind. But I remember everybody was making

00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.200
a big deal about this band from Las Vegas, like

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.000
in the pop punk world. And they're like, oh,

00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:25.879
their fucking songwriting is so great. Pop punk

00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.259
is not something that really does it for me.

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.360
It doesn't do anything. And I'll admit, I enjoy

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.919
some songs and even some albums in the genre.

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:38.080
But it's not something that like as a genre is

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.759
like, oh yeah, I'm into this. Yeah. I don't know

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.539
too many people that walk around going, yeah,

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:46.220
dude, I'm totally into pop punk. Yeah. It's one

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:49.639
of those, you know, I'm taking my niece to go

00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:52.320
see Blink -182. It's like a dad. I know one guy

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.340
that's really into Blink -182 and he's proud

00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:57.820
of it. Yeah. Hey, and you know what? On the topic

00:12:57.820 --> 00:13:01.759
of pop punk, uh, uh, fucking Fall Out Boy made

00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.940
a little comeback this year. That they did. Yeah.

00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:09.259
That they did. Oh, it's gonna kill me not remembering

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:12.580
the name of that band. I mean, good for you?

00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:17.460
No, not good for you. Just move past it. You

00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:18.759
know what's gonna happen is we're gonna finish

00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.600
recording and then I'm gonna be like, oh, that's

00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.440
who it is. Yeah, but you know what's gonna happen?

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.240
You're gonna tell me who it was and I'm gonna

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.659
say, yeah, but did that have any, would that

00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:29.919
have changed the podcast at all? No, it wouldn't.

00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:33.320
It wouldn't make a big deal. But yeah, man, 2026,

00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.460
dude. 2026 is coming. Yeah. And it's going to

00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:42.299
be different. You think so? I do. I do. First,

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:46.919
there's a different number. Instead of a five,

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.259
there's going to be a six at the end. Right.

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:57.740
It's a midterm election year. Right. Yes. And

00:13:57.740 --> 00:14:04.259
Gavin's out. Mr. Newsome's out. Is this year

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:06.620
he's going out of office? Yeah, this is the year.

00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:11.559
Man. All right, well, no big loss there, but

00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.460
that'll just free him up to run for president.

00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.980
Which I think he's gonna do. Of course, he's

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:18.279
been running for president for 20 years. That's

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.879
different. We don't get into politics here. That's

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:25.940
right, that's right. But out of anybody, that

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:27.799
guy is the only guy that's gonna probably get

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:34.100
elected, too. Cross my fingers that you're wrong.

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:39.200
I hope so too, but that's not until 2028. That's

00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.159
when the general election is, but I mean, shit

00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.200
really starts heating up immediately after the

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.620
midterm elections. Like you have the midterm

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:51.299
elections, you get about a month and then the

00:14:51.299 --> 00:14:53.799
next like presidential primary cycle starts.

00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.799
And that's when the shit show started. That's

00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.200
fucking preposterous, man. So let's talk about

00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:01.740
some other things we're looking forward to in

00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:07.039
2026. Yeah. Doomsday is coming out in 2026. Doomsday.

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.019
Avengers Doomsday. Oh, yeah. Captain America

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:13.559
is making a comeback in Avengers Doomsday. That

00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.419
I heard about that. Yeah. That's gonna be cool.

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.120
Yeah, Robert Downey's Doctor Doom. Yeah, I don't

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.320
know if they're gonna play that into that he

00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.179
used to be Iron Man I don't know if they're gonna

00:15:23.179 --> 00:15:24.980
do that or if he's just gonna be Doctor Doom.

00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.379
Well, we'll see Yeah. So looking forward to that

00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:30.360
in 2026. Yeah, there's going to be a Spider -Man

00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.799
movie. Yeah, another Spider -Man movie. I have

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.799
some Marvel shit to catch up on before all that

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.220
happens. Yeah. But I fucking, I love the MCU.

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:39.299
It's like, it's a fun little thing, right? I'm

00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:41.620
glad they're not doing the whole expanded universe

00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:43.440
thing anymore because that was fucking, I thought

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.360
that really lost me. And I was just like, I'm

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.679
glad they're not doing that anymore. Like the

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.419
shows and all that? Yeah. They're not doing the,

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.379
well, they're not doing it. They're not like...

00:15:51.389 --> 00:15:53.830
Doomsday is gonna be one universe. Everything

00:15:53.830 --> 00:15:57.070
within Doomsday is gonna be one universe. You're

00:15:57.070 --> 00:15:59.710
not doing, like, different timelines or whatever.

00:15:59.750 --> 00:16:01.690
Oh, the multiverse thing? The multiverse. Yeah,

00:16:01.769 --> 00:16:05.090
yeah. Well, that was, like, um, that was before,

00:16:05.090 --> 00:16:07.909
because they had, they were gonna make the big

00:16:07.909 --> 00:16:10.629
baddie, uh, Kang the Conqueror, who does all

00:16:10.629 --> 00:16:14.029
the timelines and shit. Right. Uh, but then,

00:16:14.029 --> 00:16:17.049
um, he got, he got me too -ed or something. Yeah.

00:16:17.750 --> 00:16:20.059
So... So they're like, well, everybody loves

00:16:20.059 --> 00:16:22.720
Robert Downey. Let's let's write something for

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.799
him. So the other thing I was thinking this week

00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.620
in a movie since we're on the topic of movies,

00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:28.799
the worst movie you want to know what the worst

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:33.879
movie in 2025 was? What? Craven. Craven. It wasn't

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.980
that bad. Did you watch it? Yeah. Like, did you

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:38.620
watch it at the theater or did you wait till

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:40.559
it was on Netflix two weeks after it was released?

00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:43.139
I waited till it was on fucking Netflix or Disney

00:16:43.139 --> 00:16:45.740
Plus or whatever. I watched it. It came on Netflix

00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:48.559
quick. Yeah. It was, it was okay. But here's

00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.919
the thing with those fucking Spider -Man ones,

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:55.759
right? Where they fuck it up is like, Kraven's

00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.840
like a minor character in Spider -Man. Yeah.

00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:00.899
Well, they're running out of the major characters.

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.139
Yeah. It's like, dude, nobody cares about Kraven.

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.380
Like, nobody knows his backstory. Nobody knows,

00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.319
nobody, unless you're a real nerd, like a real

00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.980
fucking nerd, that's the only way you're going

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:15.529
to know the Kraven backstory. Yeah. But like

00:17:15.529 --> 00:17:17.549
Doc Ock and the Green Goblin have been done to

00:17:17.549 --> 00:17:19.990
death, so they're gonna bring in Craven. Yeah.

00:17:20.309 --> 00:17:22.650
But give him his own movie without letting him

00:17:22.650 --> 00:17:24.750
be in Spider -Man, one of the Spider -Mans first?

00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:28.910
That's kinda... It's asking for death. I don't

00:17:28.910 --> 00:17:32.009
think so. I don't think so. I think people get

00:17:32.009 --> 00:17:34.529
overly judgmental about a lot of these superhero

00:17:34.529 --> 00:17:37.490
movies. Right. Because they start to like...

00:17:37.390 --> 00:17:40.089
analyze them. Like, you know, Craven's just a

00:17:40.089 --> 00:17:42.269
small character in the Spider -Man universe.

00:17:42.410 --> 00:17:45.009
You know, they start to analyze it and they're

00:17:45.009 --> 00:17:48.170
like... And what you got to realize about all

00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:51.210
these is each of these movies, you have to take

00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:55.250
at face value. Imagine that you've never heard

00:17:55.250 --> 00:17:58.250
of Craven, the whoever. This is a new thing.

00:17:58.569 --> 00:18:01.309
You're watching this movie and being like, okay,

00:18:01.529 --> 00:18:04.920
action movie, superhero, let's have it. And if

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.680
it's a C or better, I mean, a C is a passing

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:13.680
grade, right? A C minus. Yeah. It's still a passing

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.819
grade. I used to think like that. A C minus is

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:19.579
still a passing grade. And technically that is,

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:23.079
but a C minus doesn't get a sequel. Especially

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.609
with the amount of money that movie lost. Did

00:18:26.609 --> 00:18:28.609
it lose a lot of money? It was ridiculous. It

00:18:28.609 --> 00:18:32.369
was like only gross. It cost like 70 -something

00:18:32.369 --> 00:18:34.809
million dollars to make. Those cost so much goddamn

00:18:34.809 --> 00:18:40.029
money to make. And it made something like 1 .7,

00:18:40.029 --> 00:18:44.109
1 .8. And so it lost, I don't know, math, but

00:18:44.109 --> 00:18:46.690
it lost a lot of money. I promise it made more

00:18:46.690 --> 00:18:48.789
than 1 .8 million dollars. No, it didn't. It

00:18:48.789 --> 00:18:50.450
was the worst movie. I promise it did. It was

00:18:50.450 --> 00:18:53.369
the worst movie of 20 years. Maybe just Box Office

00:18:53.369 --> 00:18:57.500
1 .8, sure. But I promise... And they made more

00:18:57.500 --> 00:19:00.339
than that off that movie. Maybe it was like 28,

00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.500
something like that. And also if a movie bombs

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:05.700
bad enough, they can fucking write off the loss

00:19:05.700 --> 00:19:07.160
and be like, all right, guys, we're not paying

00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:12.019
taxes this year. Yeah, true. Yeah, true. So,

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:14.420
yeah, some movies still look forward to 2026.

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:16.859
Well, what else are we looking forward to in

00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:27.400
2026? Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh. 2026, there'll be an

00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.420
Olympics. There will be. Winter Olympics. Winter

00:19:30.420 --> 00:19:33.259
and summer. No. No, summer is the next year.

00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:36.940
Summer is going to be in 2028. Those are the

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:38.240
next Olympics. Oh, right. Because they did the

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.619
summer Olympics in 2020. They do every, they're

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:46.140
on the same cycle as American federal elections.

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:48.500
Right. So like the main one, the summer Olympics

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:54.099
every four years. And it lines up with our presidential

00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:57.799
election. And the winter one doesn't exactly

00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.019
line up. It lines up in the year of our midterm

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:04.160
elections, but they do it like in February in

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:06.119
our elections. You know what? To me, the winter

00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.740
Olympics are always way more interesting than

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:11.539
the summer Olympics. I was a snow sports guy

00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:13.960
for a long time, so I really only cared about

00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.160
the winter Olympics. They got cooler shit in

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.180
the winter Olympics. They do. Like bobsledding.

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.299
Fucking yeah, then the deluge. Yeah, but Bob's

00:20:22.299 --> 00:20:24.160
sighting dude. That's like fucking dangerous

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.240
shit You're gonna all go up to like 80 something

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.440
miles an hour. It's not the only dangerous shit

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.680
the ski jumps Yeah, the ski jumps the ski jumps

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.289
are awesome. Those dudes fucking it's just a

00:20:34.289 --> 00:20:38.349
guy in a fucking wind suit with two giant -ass

00:20:38.349 --> 00:20:41.170
skis and a helmet. Like, that's gonna make the

00:20:41.170 --> 00:20:45.309
difference if he fucking biffs after a goddamn,

00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:50.069
like, thousand -foot fall. Yeah, a helmet. That's

00:20:50.069 --> 00:20:52.210
awesome, though. The snowboarding's always good,

00:20:52.230 --> 00:20:54.529
too, in the Winter Olympics. Yeah, man. The skiing

00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:58.250
is good. It's fun. There's some lame ones, too,

00:20:58.289 --> 00:21:00.529
in there, though. There's, like, curling. There's

00:21:00.529 --> 00:21:02.410
curling. Hey, man, that's the national sport

00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:04.789
of Scotland. I know, but it's, it's kind of boring.

00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:07.930
Uh, biathlon's a bit boring. Yeah. What's a biathlon?

00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:11.049
So they, uh, do cross country skiing. Right.

00:21:11.250 --> 00:21:13.630
To some targets. And then they, and then they

00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:16.029
shoot the targets. That one's boring too. Yeah.

00:21:16.569 --> 00:21:19.549
But you know, if you're like, uh, if you're like

00:21:19.549 --> 00:21:23.789
a Finnish soldier fighting off a Soviet invasion,

00:21:24.509 --> 00:21:26.710
that, that, that basically is just your job.

00:21:29.590 --> 00:21:33.390
For sure So we got some stuff man. We got the

00:21:33.390 --> 00:21:38.009
Winter Olympics coming No Summer Olympics No,

00:21:38.410 --> 00:21:43.470
some awesome awesome movies coming. Yeah Music

World Cup World Cups coming coming coming to

00:21:46.190 --> 00:21:48.470
the Bay Area. Is it coming to the Bay Area? Yeah,

00:21:48.490 --> 00:21:51.630
Santa Clara. Really? Yeah, Levi's Stadium. I

00:21:51.630 --> 00:21:54.410
don't believe it Yeah, they're like hosting they're

00:21:54.410 --> 00:21:57.230
hosting a few games or something. Okay All right.

00:21:57.410 --> 00:21:58.730
A few games. I don't know if they're hosting

00:21:58.730 --> 00:22:01.329
the main thing. I feel like I know they're doing

00:22:01.329 --> 00:22:03.910
the Super Bowl there this year. Oh, good. Good

00:22:03.910 --> 00:22:06.230
for them. Yeah. I didn't know about that. I pay

00:22:06.230 --> 00:22:08.869
no attention to these things. Yeah, I do. Yeah.

00:22:09.049 --> 00:22:11.029
Well, I like what else is going to happen? Wait,

00:22:11.150 --> 00:22:13.210
let's actually make predictions instead of just

00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:14.710
saying what's on the calendar. All right. All

00:22:14.710 --> 00:22:17.089
right. Yeah. Make some predictions. Yeah. Go

00:22:17.089 --> 00:22:22.509
for it. All right. You first. I predict. In the

00:22:22.509 --> 00:22:25.150
year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty six.

00:22:26.109 --> 00:22:34.210
There will be... What do you ask? You first.

00:22:34.289 --> 00:22:36.349
You first. I'm gonna be the gentleman and have

00:22:36.349 --> 00:22:38.750
you go first. I already said in 2026... You railed

00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:40.930
off some calendar shit. You didn't make a prediction.

00:22:41.089 --> 00:22:43.690
I did. I said I think 2026 people are gonna take

00:22:43.690 --> 00:22:45.829
it easy. Like, they were supposed to do a 23

00:22:45.829 --> 00:22:50.990
.5, but they didn't. Okay. But I still, I think...

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:55.500
I really, really hope that in 2026 people are

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:57.759
like, you know what? I ain't gonna stress no

00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.700
more. All right. I'm not gonna stress on the

00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:02.559
internet anymore. I'm not gonna fucking freak

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.859
out about shit anymore. I'm just gonna like take

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:09.380
it easy. All right, cool. I predict some of the

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:11.720
mineral shows are gonna be quieter than normal.

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.519
The mineral shows? Yeah. You mean with rocks

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.940
and shit? Yeah, rocks and shit. How come? Uh...

00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:23.900
a combination of tariff issues and visa issues.

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:29.519
Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah. I think

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:34.539
I also predict that... Yeah. I'm gonna make a

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:38.599
big one. Do it. Boy bands are gonna make a comeback.

00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.740
Oh, see, I like it. I like it. That's a good

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:43.720
prediction. Because they already kind of are

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:45.960
on TikTok. Like I haven't been on TikTok in forever,

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:49.000
but I recently went on TikTok and people are

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.059
on TikTok are like losing their fucking minds

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:55.380
over in sync right now. All right. So I think

00:23:55.380 --> 00:23:58.539
boy bands are going to be making a big comeback

00:23:58.539 --> 00:24:01.259
in twenties, even though I might not like it.

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.779
I might not like boy bands, but somebody out

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:07.250
there does. There's a lot of people who do it.

00:24:07.250 --> 00:24:08.789
There's a lot of people that they get all...

00:24:08.789 --> 00:24:10.809
Boy bands, it's easy for them to do these Las

00:24:10.809 --> 00:24:13.069
Vegas residencies that these bands are doing

00:24:13.069 --> 00:24:15.190
these days. It is. Big money in that, man. Yeah,

00:24:15.210 --> 00:24:16.950
there is. There's a ton of money in that. That's

00:24:16.950 --> 00:24:18.950
a good gig if you can get it. You could do like

00:24:18.950 --> 00:24:21.990
a 10 -day gig at one place and make a shit ton

00:24:21.990 --> 00:24:24.809
of money. You could even be like, hey, we're

00:24:24.809 --> 00:24:28.960
here three times a week all year. And, and, and

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:30.859
that's, that's a fucking like million dollar

00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:33.099
year for you. And you're just one of the guys

00:24:33.099 --> 00:24:35.819
in the band. Sammy Hagar is doing that now. Sammy

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:37.980
Hagar. He's like, he's like 70 and he's like,

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:40.579
dude, I'm tired of touring. So I'll just do a

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:41.980
couple of months, a couple of months during the

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:45.759
summer. I'll just do a Las Vegas, Las Vegas residency.

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:48.220
In the summer. That's rough. Yeah. All right.

00:24:48.339 --> 00:24:51.660
It fucking in May, it's like early summer, May

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:53.619
and June. Okay. So it's not that bad in Vegas

00:24:53.619 --> 00:24:56.480
yet. He's just like, I'll do two week shows.

00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.460
I'll make a bunch of cash. I won't have to tour.

00:24:58.579 --> 00:25:01.059
Yeah. You know, I guess, I guess deep summer

00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:04.740
in Cabo is kind of rough. Yeah. Yeah. He can

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:07.319
always do his Cabo. He always does his birthday

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.500
bash too. All right. Yeah. But yeah, man, boy

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:13.299
bands making a comeback, doing Las Vegas residencies.

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.339
It used to be a joke about Las Vegas residencies.

00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:19.079
Like you were watched up. Yeah. But like now

00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.369
it's just like, dude. Who else, who else has

00:25:22.369 --> 00:25:25.569
done Las Vegas? The scorpions do one every year.

00:25:27.450 --> 00:25:31.029
Bruno Mars has a Bruno Mars does Vegas residencies

00:25:31.029 --> 00:25:35.250
like all year round. Yeah. So there's good money

00:25:35.250 --> 00:25:38.619
in it. All right. Have you been watching Stranger

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:41.559
Things? I have. One episode left. One episode

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:43.299
left. To wrap it all up. To wrap it all up. Do

00:25:43.299 --> 00:25:44.579
you want to make a prediction about who's going

00:25:44.579 --> 00:25:47.180
to die? I think Mike dies. You think Mike dies?

00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:49.240
Yeah. There's something telling me because he's

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:51.740
not in like, like if you look at the last trailer.

00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:55.700
Oh, no. Yeah. He's not been like a lead this

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:58.900
season. Yeah. So somebody, one of the main characters,

00:25:59.099 --> 00:26:00.559
a couple of the main characters are going to

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.660
die. I think one of them is Mike. I think it's

00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:06.059
going to be Steve and Dustin. Really? Yeah. I

00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:08.460
think Steve does for sure. I think Steve and

00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:10.880
Dustin are going to go out together. Right. Yeah.

00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.240
I think Steve does for sure. My other one is

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:15.539
Mike. I think Mike goes out. All right. Like

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:17.660
trying to save his sister or something. All right.

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:20.700
Yeah, yeah. But that's my prediction. I think

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:24.480
Steve, I think Mike goes. All right. Because

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.579
they did, I know I was reading somewhere where

00:26:26.579 --> 00:26:30.259
they did after filming rap, they did some filming

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:33.799
at this place in Alaska. And it was only the

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.500
chick, Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah. It was only

00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:38.799
her at this place in Alaska for like the final

00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:40.579
scene. It wasn't her and Mike where they were

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:42.579
talking about the three waterfall thing. Okay,

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:45.200
yeah. In one of the episodes. Yeah. So that's

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.680
why I think that's like a big thing. But also

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.720
just because they filmed it last doesn't mean

00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:51.880
that that's going to be the final scene. True.

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:54.400
But that's why it's what leads me to believe

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:57.279
that he ain't making it. Okay. I think Will is

00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.400
going to be a big hero. Yes, absolutely. Will's

00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:02.420
going to be a big, I think Will might be the

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:07.099
big hero. Yeah. Uh, fucking, all right. Yeah.

00:27:07.940 --> 00:27:11.940
Yeah. So yeah, man, I think, yeah, it's hard.

00:27:12.140 --> 00:27:13.960
It's, it's not, it's not so hard to predict,

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.619
but I mean, it's like, okay. But by the time

00:27:16.619 --> 00:27:20.259
this episode drops, we'll know. Yeah. We'll see

00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:21.920
if we were right. We'll see if we were right.

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.240
Yeah. That's my, that's my, that's my one 2020

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.880
26 prediction. Mike doesn't make it. Mine is

00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.900
that Dustin and Steve go out in a blaze of glory

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:38.920
with an emotional bro moment going out together.

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.519
I think Steve does for sure. That's my other

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.480
guess is Steve. I don't see him making it. But

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.579
just because Mike isn't in the final trailer

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:52.940
at all, I don't think. I don't know. I didn't

00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:55.779
see the trailer for the final episode. I don't...

00:27:55.789 --> 00:27:58.329
like trailers if it's something that I'm into,

00:27:58.690 --> 00:28:01.829
because trailers have spoilers. Yeah. It's hard

00:28:01.829 --> 00:28:05.369
to avoid spoilers. And even if it's, even if

00:28:05.369 --> 00:28:08.289
they make a point not to put spoilers in the

00:28:08.289 --> 00:28:10.569
trailer, there's always something there that

00:28:10.569 --> 00:28:14.049
gives away some part of the plot. Yeah. Yeah.

00:28:14.150 --> 00:28:16.730
I recently did that. I got into, what did I recently

00:28:16.730 --> 00:28:19.029
get into? I got into Homeland recently. I never

00:28:19.029 --> 00:28:21.650
watched it before. Oh man. That show was like...

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:23.440
10 years old, at least. Yeah, I never watched

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.039
it when it was on. And like, I'm really into

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:28.539
it. And I fucking went on the internet like an

00:28:28.539 --> 00:28:31.380
idiot. And I'm like, what happens in season two

00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:33.339
of Homeland? And all of a sudden, it's all fucking

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:35.599
spoiled for me. I'm like, hey, you fucking you

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:38.099
did that to yourself. Yeah. Yeah. It's not it's

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:40.279
not anybody else's fault. It's just I wanted

00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.579
to I wanted to see if season two was worth watching.

00:28:42.619 --> 00:28:45.880
I'm like, because season one is good. And I'm

00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:47.680
like, is season two really... And they're like,

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.440
oh, the only bad season is kind of like season

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:52.980
five maybe, if you want to consider season five

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:56.099
bad or whatever. Season five might not be the

00:28:56.099 --> 00:28:59.039
best season. I'll tell you my philosophy on watching

00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:01.880
TV shows. What's that? If I like the episode,

00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:06.119
I'll watch the next one. Right? If I like the

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.160
season, I'll go into the first episode of the

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:10.519
next season. And if I like the episode, I'll

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:12.420
watch the next one. But what happens when you're

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:14.640
like, they left, they leave the one season on

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.119
a fucking, the last episode of that first season

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:20.380
is really fucking good. Yeah. Right. And you

00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:22.059
just - It's really fucking good and you're looking

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:24.519
forward to that second episode of that first

00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:27.240
episode of the second season. You press play.

00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:30.920
It has nothing to fucking do with the finale

00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.740
in season one. Yeah. Sometimes they're like that.

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:38.710
Do you continue watching the show? Yeah. Well,

00:29:38.849 --> 00:29:41.470
here's the thing. It depends. Right. Because,

00:29:41.490 --> 00:29:43.670
you know, next season, you have to take it as

00:29:43.670 --> 00:29:46.109
its own thing, right? Same characters and all

00:29:46.109 --> 00:29:49.509
that, but new storyline. Right. You know which

00:29:49.509 --> 00:29:54.250
show did that to me? It was Fringe. Fringe. I

00:29:54.250 --> 00:29:57.250
was really into that show. Fringe season five

00:29:57.250 --> 00:30:00.029
fucking dropped the ball. Yeah. Yeah. That last

00:30:00.029 --> 00:30:02.410
season. Yeah. Where they're like fucking time

00:30:02.410 --> 00:30:05.549
traveling bald guys and you're like, they just

00:30:05.549 --> 00:30:08.519
sort of lost it. Yeah. Well, they really lost

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.240
it for me was like because they left season two

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:13.799
like season two was so season one and two are

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.619
so good and Then season three you're kind of

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:18.940
like three episodes in or whatever on the show

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:21.440
and you're like, yeah. Yeah, this is getting

00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:25.519
weird Right, but I continued watching it. Yeah

00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:28.319
season three I was just kind of like this none

00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:30.440
of this has anything to do with the first two

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:35.059
seasons Yeah, yeah Yeah, they kind of finished

00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:38.200
up one big storyline. Yeah. And they tried to

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:40.559
then, then they're like, okay, where do we go

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.599
from here? Yeah. And they did it halfway through

00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.480
the season three. I remember they wrapped up,

00:30:44.619 --> 00:30:46.559
they wrapped up the storyline from the first

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.279
two seasons. Yeah. And then halfway through season

00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:52.200
three, they start this fucking new story arc

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:54.519
and you're like, what the hell? Yeah. And there's

00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.359
like, what's his name is a fucking like ghost

00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:00.440
or some shit. Yeah. Yeah. And you're like, this

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.799
is not, yeah, that was hard to get through. It

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:04.660
was hard to get through. And you're like, you

00:31:04.660 --> 00:31:07.220
want to root for your boy, J .J. Abrams, because

00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:09.640
he's like, he does some pretty cool shit. You

00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:13.140
know what, J .J. Abrams, I was a big fan of his

00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:15.960
for a long time. Yeah. J .J. Abrams can blow

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.579
me. Really? What he did to Star Wars, I think

00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:22.269
is unforgivable. It's not Star Trek? What he

00:31:22.269 --> 00:31:25.869
did to Star Trek is forgivable, because he did

00:31:25.869 --> 00:31:28.730
it well. Yeah, he made Star Trek good again.

00:31:29.190 --> 00:31:34.109
Like, he did it really well. It was absolutely

00:31:34.109 --> 00:31:36.390
not in keeping with Star Trek, but he did it

00:31:36.390 --> 00:31:38.549
well. And then they give him Star Wars to do

00:31:38.549 --> 00:31:42.380
the same thing. And he fucked it up. And I think

00:31:42.380 --> 00:31:45.220
he was just like, he thought he was the golden

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:48.380
child. And he's like, I can disrespect fucking

00:31:48.380 --> 00:31:51.319
Canon and Logic and all that shit and just make

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:54.940
a blockbuster for these guys. And I'm a bigger

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:57.859
Trekkie than I am a Star Wars guy. But he did

00:31:57.859 --> 00:32:02.460
a good job with the Star Trek blasphemy. He did

00:32:02.460 --> 00:32:04.819
a bad job with the Star Wars blasphemy. Which

00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:07.019
movies did he do on Star Wars? I think it was

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:10.079
just The Force Awakens. Yeah. I didn't watch

00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:14.440
that one. It was, it was like. Did I watch that

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:15.779
one? I don't think I watched that all the way

00:32:15.779 --> 00:32:18.440
through. I pro, it was hard to watch all the

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:20.299
way through because it's like almost three hours

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:27.640
long, but it's like, I was very disappointed

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:32.099
by it. Most of those Star Wars movies I was disappointed

00:32:32.099 --> 00:32:35.029
by. Yeah. The Force Awakens. It was disappointing,

00:32:35.250 --> 00:32:37.390
the one after it, I didn't even watch the one

00:32:37.390 --> 00:32:39.490
after it. It was very disappointing. And there

00:32:39.490 --> 00:32:42.069
was a third one, I think, right? Yeah. I didn't

00:32:42.069 --> 00:32:45.029
watch that one either. The Force Awakens kind

00:32:45.029 --> 00:32:48.579
of ruined it for me. Yeah, yeah. The third one

00:32:48.579 --> 00:32:50.599
was probably the worst of them all, because at

00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.220
the very end, like the big bad, they're just

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:57.180
like, who's gonna make the big bad? Fuck it,

00:32:57.299 --> 00:32:59.900
Emperor Palpatine. Yeah, he's already died, but

00:32:59.900 --> 00:33:04.500
just call him a force clone or something. Yeah,

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:07.059
I remember it getting weird in that episode.

00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:09.519
And then like the prequels, I didn't really like

00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:12.460
the first two prequel, but Revenge of the Sith.

00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:14.619
That was a good movie. That was fucking good.

00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:18.380
You know, I, I have, I have rewatched all the

00:33:18.380 --> 00:33:21.859
prequels in the last couple of years and they,

00:33:21.859 --> 00:33:24.039
they hold up. They really, yeah, they're, they're

00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:27.420
good. They're genuinely good movies. Once you

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:29.740
get over the fact that there, there were some

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:34.500
like real vibe differences from the original

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:37.420
thing, which I think is what really like wrecked

00:33:37.420 --> 00:33:39.960
it for people at the time. But you go back and

00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:42.059
watch them. They really hold up. I thought Revenge

00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:44.880
of the Sith was probably my favorite one out

00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.200
of all of those. That was a great movie. Yeah.

00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:49.400
All right, man, we're about a little over 30

00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.380
minutes in. I think that's a good episode. Yeah.

00:33:52.619 --> 00:33:55.359
I think that's a good episode. So if you survived

00:33:55.359 --> 00:34:02.279
New Year's Eve, happy New Year. Happy 2026. I

00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.019
have another prediction. OK, lay it on me. They're

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:09.500
going to announce a new Star Wars trilogy in

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:11.519
2026. I thought they were going to do that in

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.559
2025. Did they do that in 2025? No, but I thought

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.159
they were. Well, they're going to do it in 2026.

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:22.019
I know they've been talking about it. They're

00:34:22.019 --> 00:34:27.340
going to make it Star Trek 4 in 2026. Star Trek

00:34:27.340 --> 00:34:32.059
4? Yeah, off those Abrams. Oh, a new Abrams Star

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:35.639
Trek? I hope so. There was a stock that Quentin

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:38.199
Tarantino was going to do one. Did Star Trek

00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.420
4? I very much doubt he would do a Star Trek.

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.880
He backed out. He's a big Star Trek fan. Yeah.

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:46.139
But he made his version of Star Trek, they were

00:34:46.139 --> 00:34:49.139
like, it's too... I don't think Tarantino can

00:34:49.139 --> 00:34:52.179
pull off Star Trek. It's too violent. Yeah, it's

00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:54.460
too violent, it's too vulgar, it's not Star Trek.

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:58.199
So they got somebody, but it's not gonna be the

00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:00.320
cast that was in the Abrams movie. It's gonna

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.960
be based on the first Star Trek movie of the

00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:06.059
Calvin... Uh, the S .S. Calvin, the ship that

00:35:06.059 --> 00:35:07.940
gets blown up in the beginning of the first Star

00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:10.039
Trek movie. Really? Yeah. It's going to be based

00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:12.840
off of that ship. All right. So I think your

00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.840
boy Thor, who played the captain in that movie.

00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:18.400
Yeah. Is it going to come back 15 years later

00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:20.780
to reprise this role? That's, that's always kind

00:35:20.780 --> 00:35:23.280
of a bad move, but we'll see how it goes. Yeah.

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:25.860
Anyway, that's our, that's our first episode

00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:28.360
