Speaker 1: All right, We're joined as we are every Friday with
Speaker 1: by our friend Stephen Presley. You can find him on
Speaker 1: Instagram at thunder pop Tv, also same handle on YouTube.
Speaker 1: We get together, talk a little bit of entertainment, some Hollywood,
Speaker 1: some scoop, some stuff. And this one goes back to
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. You kind of predicted this whole
Speaker 1: HBO Max thing going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was.
Speaker 3: They changed the colors a few months back to back
Speaker 3: to the HBO look and style.
Speaker 2: It was still Max.
Speaker 3: But people are like, are they having buyer's remorse that
Speaker 3: maybe they're kind of easing back into HBO Max, And
Speaker 3: sure enough, they made it official. They're going back to
Speaker 3: HBO Max, which seems like they should have never changed
Speaker 3: it to begin with. That prestige that you get with
Speaker 3: HBO being attached to your name, you know that only
Speaker 3: brings clout with it. But one of the things John Cena,
Speaker 3: who was doing promos for his series Peacemaker in the
Speaker 3: middle of doing his promos as Max, was forced to
Speaker 3: go back and redo promos for HBO Max.
Speaker 4: Oh so the question am I missing?
Speaker 5: Why we Why are we so upset if it's called
Speaker 5: HBO Max or Max like I'm not going to stop
Speaker 5: watching it because I don't like the colors of the
Speaker 5: logo or the name, Like why is this such a
Speaker 5: big deal?
Speaker 3: I think familiarity. Some people are like, we'll look at
Speaker 3: Max and like what is Max? But they see, HBO, Max,
Speaker 3: You've got that history that's attached to that, the prestige.
Speaker 1: And also, I mean maybe it's because I was a
Speaker 1: dirty little dude, but yeah, Max, when you were a kid,
Speaker 1: Cinemax was also called it was all called skin Amax, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and because it had some dirty stuff on it, right,
Speaker 1: and so it maybe still had that kind of lingering around.
Speaker 5: I mean, do you get dirty stuff everywhere now, But
Speaker 5: when you were our age, like middle school was your spot.
Speaker 1: Cinemax had an image, right, and they were there trying
Speaker 1: to combat that with bringing the wholesome you know, HBO.
Speaker 4: I guess is it weird?
Speaker 5: Did I remember specifically the shows the main ones to
Speaker 5: look for if you're trying to sneak in the dirty
Speaker 5: stuff was Lady Chatterley's Lover in a Manual?
Speaker 1: I remember that one, so uh yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: was kind of just a mistake from the beginning.
Speaker 6: I guess do you remember the was it on Cinemax,
Speaker 6: where it was just like everyone called it sexercise.
Speaker 2: It was women.
Speaker 6: It was women doing aerobics and and yoga, and the
Speaker 6: cameras were just like up in their chili.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They would lay on their back and with their
Speaker 1: knees bent and do humps upwards. Yeah yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 4: Like it was it was dirty.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they were legit working out, but it
Speaker 6: was gratuitously shot. Oh yeah, in the most inappropriate way
Speaker 6: you can imagine.
Speaker 1: They had the Suzanne Summer Thigh Master out there came
Speaker 1: I wanted you to see how the five Master worked,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: But but I think you're you know, you guys are
Speaker 6: on it. Like HBO has this top tier.
Speaker 1: Brand to it.
Speaker 6: We all loved HBO, and then when they generated original
Speaker 6: programming and stuff, it was always at a higher level.
Speaker 6: So yeah, this is a brand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. They really made good original stuff,
Speaker 1: sopranos and stuff like that. Yeah, you know, and Max
Speaker 1: never did that. They just so porn.
Speaker 2: And then the Internet came along and put them out
Speaker 2: of business.
Speaker 1: Yeah. True. Yeah. Summer of fastly approaching, although it already
Speaker 1: feels like summer in Austin, Texas with these one hundred
Speaker 1: degree temperatures. But movies, movie season summertime is big, and
Speaker 1: there are ways that you can save some bucks at
Speaker 1: AMC and Galaxy theaters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are some movies people are excited about. I mean,
Speaker 3: we're going to get that Superman movie. So yeah, So
Speaker 3: AMC Theaters is launching fifty percent off Wednesdays only, that's
Speaker 3: the catch, and it's beginning July ninth, so we'll begin
Speaker 3: in July. Now it's for all see stub members, but
Speaker 3: they do have a free tier version of that, so
Speaker 3: you can join AMC stubs free and get the fifty
Speaker 3: percent off on Wednesdays.
Speaker 1: So what is the membership like popcorn or something.
Speaker 2: It's like a rewards program.
Speaker 3: When you sign up, they get well, you give them
Speaker 3: all your info, so they have your information for the
Speaker 3: rest of your life and they could chase you down
Speaker 3: and find you anywhere you're at for promos. But yeah,
Speaker 3: then for that you get that fifty percent off discount
Speaker 3: of Wednesdays, which I guess it's pretty good in the summertime. Now,
Speaker 3: Galaxy is continuing something they've already been doing for a
Speaker 3: while called Flashback Cinema, which is really good. It's two
Speaker 3: dollars movies, but it's for older movies, but.
Speaker 2: They're pretty good. Like last year they did Goonies.
Speaker 3: This year they're going to be back to the future,
Speaker 3: so the opportunity to see some of these nostalgia films
Speaker 3: on the big screen again. And they have three dollars
Speaker 3: of fifty cents. This is what they call a snack pack,
Speaker 3: so it's it's a little popcorn. It's a little mini
Speaker 3: candy pack of candy and a smaller soft drink for
Speaker 3: three dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 1: I liked.
Speaker 6: I'm thinking about, you know, the parents looking for things
Speaker 6: to do with their kids this summer when it's triple
Speaker 6: digits out going to a matinee screening, seen some old
Speaker 6: movies and not getting overcharged.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be that totally makes sense. Yeah, do parents
Speaker 1: today still send their kids to the movie theater with
Speaker 1: the brown bag full of popcorns with the grease staying
Speaker 1: on the bottom of it.
Speaker 5: Our daughter doesn't do the popcorn bag, but they raid
Speaker 5: the Target candy aisle, Yeah, and go in with ridiculous amount.
Speaker 5: They can get the same amount or three times the
Speaker 5: amount of candy at Target for the price they pay
Speaker 5: for like one box of candy at the movie theater.
Speaker 1: Of course. Yeah, you're just just just killing the local
Speaker 1: movie theater owner. That's all.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Though it's so expensive.
Speaker 5: One of the rewards, one of the parts of those
Speaker 5: reward programs that we were talking about, is that you
Speaker 5: get like a discount on the step that the concession stand,
Speaker 5: which I mean that alone is worth it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes saw he was pretty funny. He went and saw
Speaker 1: a movie recently, and and he was there, and he goes,
Speaker 1: he goes, you would have thought that the person getting
Speaker 1: the popcorn for me, I would have asked them to
Speaker 1: pull a tooth out of their heat. He said, there's
Speaker 1: the most miserable human being he'd ever met as his life.
Speaker 1: You know, It's just like wow.
Speaker 4: He hated working there.
Speaker 1: He hated it, hated working there. So I guess I
Speaker 1: would too if I was slinging popcorn all the time. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the AMC membership, an Instagram user, the handle
Speaker 1: is gotta Go NYC.
Speaker 2: Is that right, Gotta Go n y C.
Speaker 3: And the whole their whole platform is how to find
Speaker 3: the hacks to get to restrooms in New York City
Speaker 3: when you're when you're a pedestrian or subway user. The
Speaker 3: best restrooms not only restrooms, how to get to them,
Speaker 3: but how to get to clean restrooms that are sanitary.
Speaker 3: So one of their hacks is is to join AMC
Speaker 3: stubs membership, because then you get access to where you
Speaker 3: can go there they pay. They do the paid version,
Speaker 3: so where you can go to movie anytime you want.
Speaker 3: You play a flat rate, and then you can go
Speaker 3: as many as many movies as you want. So there's
Speaker 3: They mentioned how there's AMC theaters like every three or
Speaker 3: four blocks away from each other in their neighborhood in
Speaker 3: New York City. So when they're when they're out and about,
Speaker 3: like I gotta go there's an AMC, they say, hey,
Speaker 3: I'd like to get one ticket to that Minion's two movie,
Speaker 3: Wink wink. And then they head in and they said,
Speaker 3: you have a restroom all to yourself, it's cleaned, it's luxurious.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like nothing else in New York City.
Speaker 3: And since they don't have a buckets in New York City,
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is a pretty good option.
Speaker 4: That is a pretty good option.
Speaker 1: We can tell you something. This is a big moment
Speaker 1: for gotta go NYC because they have one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty two followers. One hundred and two followers. It's all
Speaker 1: they have here. Good for them. Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 4: We should all give them a follow They'll.
Speaker 1: Everybody, Yeah, everybody, everybody listening go follow that. It's gotta
Speaker 1: go underscore NYC and follow them. They'll freak out, They're like,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Why everyone in Austin loves us?
Speaker 6: Yeah, guys, sounds like there's a demand for like a
Speaker 6: membership based clean bathroom suscol that people would pay a
Speaker 6: lot for that, wouldn't they.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's for a bathroom easy to get distracted on Instagram? Sorry,
Speaker 1: really really easy to do. Stephen Presley is with us.
Speaker 1: He's with us every single Friday and still to come

Speaker 4: I just I love it.
Speaker 2: I like him too, Yeah, I like their banter back
Speaker 2: and forth.
Speaker 6: How they they've made it all about them and they're
Speaker 6: prodding at each other.
Speaker 1: It's so you know, the jokes they write.
Speaker 5: For each other and then they read them live on air,
Speaker 5: or at least they make you think they those are hilarious.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just I don't know. It just doesn't click
Speaker 6: with me for some reason. And I know people are
Speaker 6: super fans.
Speaker 1: Who is your favorite Weekend updater?
Speaker 6: Mine, hands down was Norm McDonald.
Speaker 2: Same here, He's the best easily for me.
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and watch.
Speaker 6: I've never been a huge well and that's what got
Speaker 6: him fired too. He could not let go of the
Speaker 6: OJ jokes. Yeah, and one of the NBC executives was
Speaker 6: like best friends with OJ. Yeah, it cost me Norm McDonald.
Speaker 3: His job, but it aged aged very well for him,
Speaker 3: that whole scenario.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephen Presley's our guest. Give him a follow on Instagram.
Speaker 1: It's at thunder Pop TV. Same thing on YouTube. So
Speaker 1: what cartoon characters taking heat for teaching slang.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so good old Door of the Explorer. She's teaching
Speaker 3: kids slang words and she got backlash the slang word sigma.
Speaker 3: Nickelodeon recently posted a video on their Instagram, and I
Speaker 3: I have beef with that. I don't see why a
Speaker 3: cartoon character for kids needs an Instagram account, because kids
Speaker 3: shouldn't be on Instagram anyway. But that's a whole other beef.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. They had a cringey three D
Speaker 3: animated version of Dora, which also got some backlash, and
Speaker 3: she explains the term sigma as someone who's confident, independent
Speaker 3: and does things their own way. Anyway, it posted this
Speaker 3: post sparked significant backlash for teaching this slang word.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, they got pulled down.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Landry threw out sigma a couple of times,
Speaker 5: and I was like, what is that. It's a full
Speaker 5: time job to try and keep up with the slang
Speaker 5: with teenagers and how quickly it changes and what's okay
Speaker 5: to say and not okay to say.
Speaker 4: But the Sigma was weird.
Speaker 5: There was another one that's pretty popular, like Sigma that
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't think I want you to
Speaker 5: say those things.
Speaker 1: The one that the kids say all the time. I've
Speaker 1: had enough of is buh bruh bh.
Speaker 4: She bruhs sometimes and I shut it down.
Speaker 1: I heard from the other room. Don't you brow me anymore? Okay,
Speaker 1: the joys of having a teenager are unending. With the
Speaker 1: language you said.
Speaker 5: You were in the car with landrying some of her girls,
Speaker 5: and one of the girls was telling you about a
Speaker 5: concert that she went to and she said it was
Speaker 5: something and You're like, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, because I knew that she had
Speaker 1: gone to see the Deaf Tones, and I go, how
Speaker 1: is a Deathtone show? And she goes, dude, it was
Speaker 1: so bra And I was like, hey, hey, help me out.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. And she's like it
Speaker 1: was just so not great. I'm like, oh, wow, so anyway,
Speaker 1: do it on and on. She just looked at me
Speaker 1: like she was talking to her grandfather, did you a boomer? Right? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Anything else Steven that we just absolutely have to know about.
Speaker 3: Well, Superman. We were talking about this earlier before the show.
Speaker 3: The Superman trailer dropped this week, and people are of
Speaker 3: course excited because it shows more that we've seen so
Speaker 3: far of this film. It's going to be more colorful, brighter.
Speaker 3: It's not that dark and brooding Superman. Of course, we
Speaker 3: know about his cutesy dog, super Dog or crypton crypto crypto, Yeah,
Speaker 3: not cryptocurrency, but now crypto the dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why would you name your dog after your one weakness?
Speaker 6: I know that makes of sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that is baffling, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just don't understand where the dog fits in.
Speaker 5: Like he keeps seeing the dog and the trailers and
Speaker 5: I'm absolutely going to go see this movie.
Speaker 1: Have they wissified Superman at all? Steven?
Speaker 2: That's that some people have speculated.
Speaker 3: There's some criticism because there's that one scene where he's
Speaker 3: on the ground and he kind of looks beat up
Speaker 3: and the dog is jumping on him and he's he's
Speaker 3: like take me home, he's mumbling, So I think they
Speaker 3: don't want him to be so overwhelming and so godlike
Speaker 3: that the heat people can't relate to him, so they're
Speaker 3: trying to make him more relatable, maybe closer to.
Speaker 1: The christianer on. They can't relate to a guy from
Speaker 1: another planet, Superman that changes clothes in a phone booth, right,
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 5: You can change the spin of the world by flying
Speaker 5: really fast.
Speaker 1: Faster than a speeding bullet.
Speaker 6: Well, that's one thing you gotta change. It's the phone
Speaker 6: booth thing. You could never go into action.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman was the smartest of all with the costume change.
Speaker 6: Just spin in a circle anywhere, anywhere you are, anywhere
Speaker 6: you want.
Speaker 4: And she was hot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she'd killed it like le garage sale.
Speaker 1: Trying to Steve had always good chatting with you, man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you think about the mustache.
Speaker 2: The mustache, he asked, the soul patch.
Speaker 1: No, all right, have a good weekend, man. It's the
Speaker 1: I think Steven's The JB and Sandy Show. Austin's eighty
Speaker 1: station one oh three point one. We're streaming on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. We're coming up
