Speaker 1: News hot God, stay on top in the shovel.
Speaker 2: All right, Christina, you had something in our group text
Speaker 2: today and I was like, man, this is very interesting.
Speaker 3: You kind of broke my brains. Set it up.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm wondering if certain shows should be unbingeable.
Speaker 3: WHOA okay, on.
Speaker 4: And I'm going to explain. So last week I told
Speaker 4: you guys, I started a Handmaid's Tale. Okay, have any
Speaker 4: of you guys you've seen it back? Have you seen
Speaker 4: all six seasons?
Speaker 3: No? I watched the first two seasons, I think.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, So I have been binging this show like crazy.
Speaker 4: I'm already halfway through season two, almost done with it.
Speaker 4: But what I realized this past week is that I
Speaker 4: think it's affecting me emotionally and physically, like watching this
Speaker 4: show and just ingesting all of this very very tough
Speaker 4: subject matter, Like it's the things that are in this
Speaker 4: show are just very very serious, very dark, and I
Speaker 4: think a part of me always thinks, hey, this might
Speaker 4: could actually happen anyway. So I just noticed like I've
Speaker 4: had trouble sleeping waking up. I feel exhausted, like I
Speaker 4: didn't sleep at all. I was also a little down,
Speaker 4: and it wasn't until last night. Last night was the
Speaker 4: first night I did not watch this show. I woke
Speaker 4: up feeling awesome, and so I thought, Okay, maybe certain
Speaker 4: shows like Handmaid's tail or other really dark, heavy shows
Speaker 4: should kind of have a binge limit on them so
Speaker 4: it doesn't affect you like that because you don't think
Speaker 4: about the mental aspect of some of these shows.
Speaker 5: You're just going okay. So I absolutely do think about
Speaker 5: what she's talking about. And the last example I had
Speaker 5: of this now, because it was a show that we
Speaker 5: were watching in real time that was released once a week.
Speaker 5: The second that The Penguin was over, we looked and
Speaker 5: found shrinking because after going through something that is so
Speaker 5: dark and so caustic, I was like, I need something
Speaker 5: to cleanse my soul. I mean, it was an amazing
Speaker 5: show and I would recommend it to anybody, but when
Speaker 5: it was over, I was like, I don't want to
Speaker 5: watch anything that's in that sphere right now.
Speaker 3: But you're saying you want them to regulate.
Speaker 1: It, right.
Speaker 4: Well, like he just mentioned, most shows, especially back in
Speaker 4: the day, most heavy shows like that, with a lot
Speaker 4: of production and big storylines. It was once a week but.
Speaker 3: You're watching one that's been out for a decade, right.
Speaker 4: But should they maybe like warn you, like, hey, there
Speaker 4: is a lot of heavy stuff in this that you're
Speaker 4: about to watch. It doesn't get better, only gets worse.
Speaker 4: Maybe you should take a breather, take a break.
Speaker 3: And because I was.
Speaker 4: Watching, maybe there's one day I watched three in a row. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I like, that's just really that's a lot for you.
Speaker 4: I know it, you're on the person.
Speaker 3: You're not going to govern that yourself?
Speaker 4: Well does anyone govern it? When we just have it
Speaker 4: there available to binge it? We're not thinking about it.
Speaker 4: Like I said, I didn't put two and two together
Speaker 4: until I finally didn't watch it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what if you had the option to check, yes,
Speaker 2: I want to be limited on this, and maybe it
Speaker 2: sends you to something else so you can't have to
Speaker 2: the next episode.
Speaker 5: Didn't just didn't just come on it just send you
Speaker 5: to something else. That's just that's just uh will poweric.
Speaker 5: Don't some people set social media limits on their phone? Yeah,
Speaker 5: I've got that same thing. You just gotta you just
Speaker 5: I mean, there's there are ship to her point, though,
Speaker 5: there are shows where I'm like, you know, there's a
Speaker 5: whole season in front of us, and I'm like, I'm
Speaker 5: good for now.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm the same way. There's some stuff I
Speaker 6: just don't watch because I know it's going to be heavy.
Speaker 2: There's not I avoid it like because it I don't,
Speaker 2: I know we're out, I know how I'll react to it,
Speaker 2: So I just avoid anything that's dark. The Peing one
Speaker 2: I could have fun with because for some reason, I
Speaker 2: think because it was fantasy World. Yeah that I can. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't really take it too serious when she spoiler alert,
Speaker 2: you know, killed her whole family, right, you know it
Speaker 2: bothered me too much.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, Yeah, I'm in the same I'm the same
Speaker 6: way as you on that. It was kind of comic, Bookie.
Speaker 6: I was able to look through it that through that lens.
Speaker 6: But I straight up avoid things that I know are
Speaker 6: incredibly heavy and depressing. Like what was the one that
Speaker 6: was out about the teenager that committed suicide adolescens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not good. See I heard it's great. I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's great. I don't need that in my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, I was watching this just dropped on Apple
Speaker 2: TV last night. Episode one that's called Stick and telling
Speaker 2: Wilson he's golf pro. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was watching it.
Speaker 2: And then there's there's a bit of a twist at
Speaker 2: the end of the first episode, and I'm in Jesus,
Speaker 2: oh no, Now, this show's gonna be right in the
Speaker 2: ted Lasso shrinking lane. But there's like something real dark.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, I don't want to
Speaker 2: feel that.
Speaker 4: See, you know, I thought about watching that next because,
Speaker 4: like you Ben, like I love uplifting stuff. That's the
Speaker 4: reason I'm just now watching Handmaids Tell there's six freaking
Speaker 4: seasons out of it and I'm just now watching it.
Speaker 4: And this is why, because I didn't realize it's way
Speaker 4: darker than I thought.
Speaker 3: That's my way dark.
Speaker 2: I think you should leaves just great to have right
Speaker 2: there on. Just have it right there, just grab it.
Speaker 2: Watch him choke on the hot dog.
Speaker 3: It's a chaser.
Speaker 2: Corn cop TV, Yeah, we're feeling good about life again.
Speaker 3: You know, I thought corn Cob TV was very dark. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we should regulate our own TV usage. Is
Speaker 4: that what you're saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you're gonna have to hand the remote control
Speaker 5: over Divide.
Speaker 6: But I think that's extra heavy for a woman to
Speaker 6: be watching that, you know, because it's yeah, so left up,
Speaker 6: Like the idea is that women are just there to
Speaker 6: be slaves to give birth like they're they're they're married.
Speaker 3: There's a married couple.
Speaker 6: And whatever's happened with the world, the very few women
Speaker 6: are fertile, and so this woman can't get pregnant.
Speaker 3: So there's a lady there that's just there to get pregnant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, have a baby, pop it out, move on to
Speaker 4: the next. That's the only reason you're here.
Speaker 3: You know, you should pop it out. Pop it out.
Speaker 6: All right, There you have it. There is the Hollywood Shuffle.
Speaker 6: Christina Kray a little baby, corn Bread raised out. Coming
Speaker 6: up next, it's the Way Back Machine, one of the
Speaker 6: greatest songs that's ever been sent to us.
Speaker 3: You've got to hear. This is coming up in just
Speaker 3: over three minutes.
