I'm down and 3 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.320 I am guy. Did you say November twenty twenty four? 4 00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.000 But not that? Oh no, it is that. Yeah, I 5 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.920 just needed to sort of go to me for a second. 6 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:30.879 We haven't done one of these since June, and we 7 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.640 apologize because we're going to do this as a monthly 8 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.399 mail bag. Guess what it's going to be. The way 9 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.960 the new schedule works is you get talking Scientfower speak 10 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.320 at the heel Tales of Futurama, and we end each 11 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.679 month with a monthly mail bag exclusively for you supporters 12 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:44.359 here on Patriot. 13 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.280 He's telling you this. He told me this this morning, Yes, 14 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.039 because I was like, Dan, what are we doing? I 15 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.880 made decisions in until after the fact and I show 16 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.320 up and I just a it's a good system that works. 17 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.600 It's not a dysfunctional relationship in any way. 18 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.320 Shape for Let's get to our first question the show. 19 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.759 Let's all right, Andy not Andy G. I think it's 20 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.120 kat G because it's d E. So he's seeing it's 21 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:06.840 Andy D. 22 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.560 It's not Andrew JP. No, it's not Andrew JP. Where 23 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:14.040 is Andrew GP, he's got missing do you respect to 24 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.560 Andy D? I think it was a little weird that 25 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.079 Andrew JP is not first name on the call sheet 26 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.079 when it comes to a mailbank. 27 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:21.920 That's right, But Andy D wants to know what's your 28 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.200 favorite most recently seen show. Doesn't have to be a 29 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.560 new one, just one you've recently discovered. We've already discussed 30 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:28.359 Monk that I've really enjoyed very much. 31 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.879 In The Monk, you're like three seasons in, four seasons 32 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:32.200 in or four three and a half in. Now. 33 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.640 Yeah, we just watched the episode that had Jason Alexander 34 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.040 guest the one. There's a few critiques of the show. 35 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.599 Two big ones for me. The annoying thing is that 36 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.959 it's always the guest star. So if you recognize the face, 37 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.760 you go, oh, well that's the person, yes, And that 38 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.319 is annoying because shake it up a bit. Have them 39 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.000 be someone who helps Monk, who they could be the 40 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.879 victim of the crime. Don't keep making them the person 41 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.000 that Monk is looking for because it just becomes obvious 42 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.480 by the end. 43 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:58.879 I get where you're coming from. 44 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.799 Just shake change the formula a little bit, even if 45 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.879 it's every like one or one out of five episodes. 46 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:05.599 It's different just to just to throw you off a bit, 47 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.599 do it every once in a while. I yes, as 48 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.639 I said, I wholly understand where you're coming from. I 49 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:18.520 think people tune into Monk though for some feeling of constancy, repetition, yeah, comfort, 50 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.879 I like it though for the I like the pattern, 51 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:21.759 I like the formula. Yeah. 52 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.199 Well, felt like the first season was that was the show. 53 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.599 Obviously wasn't huge success of the guest stars every second 54 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.319 week or every week, right, it feels like every week. 55 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.680 Now it's a guest start. It's like it's the stick 56 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.080 of the show. 57 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.680 But the first season was great because they were who 58 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.120 done it's and you were trying to solve it with 59 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.680 him with Monk, And it felt like in the seasons 60 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.879 two and three, they would show you the crime being 61 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.039 committed at the start and then show you Monk try 62 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.800 to figure it out, and it's like I want to 63 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.319 I want to work it at with him. I don't 64 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.879 want to know what it is and then have to 65 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:47.800 watch him figure it out. 66 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.879 I'm like, we already know what the answer is. Work 67 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.520 out you figured it out already. I'm just picturing you 68 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.319 talking to the TV in that voice exactly like dude, David, well. 69 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.800 You know, you know it's bad with him, Nicholas going, 70 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.280 I'm kind of sick of the fact that it's always 71 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.680 like the famous person. I'm like, yeah, if she's noticing 72 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.560 it that because she will sit there, she'll just enjoy it. 73 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.080 But if she's critiquing it, you know it's bad. The 74 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.199 other thing is they really realize that audiences must love. 75 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.680 God Monk's weird. He does some really weird. 76 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.039 Things, and they just you know, when the gag, they 77 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.439 try to make it a gag. 78 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:17.719 Extending at the Rakes. 79 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.759 Side showed Bob it's funny, then it becomes not funny, 80 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.639 then it becomes funny again. It never becomes funny again. 81 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.199 With the Monks stuff, it's like, just step through the 82 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.719 fucking door, you know, like he's looks and. 83 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.960 He's taking he steps back, takes a step, who steps 84 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.800 back and he takes deep breath. I can't do it. 85 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.639 It's like this has been going for a minute now, 86 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.080 I can be just we've seen him walk through doorways before. 87 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.439 Just step through the doorway. So they're my two critiques, 88 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.120 but I am enjoying it overall. 89 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.360 What about you? And he shows you've just discovered anything. 90 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.400 Oh it is this one. It actually is new and 91 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:51.039 there's still unrolling and today for Yonce age along well. 92 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.719 Of course ninety in all its incarnations, remains, you know, 93 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.400 number one on the dockets. What has just wrapped up? 94 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.840 I think it's was ninety because there's they usually run 95 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.960 two concurrently. I actually going with ny that's the show 96 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.800 not going. But I'm going to tell you about the 97 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.879 current state of play with naety day because well, I 98 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.479 think at least two people in our Patreon group and 99 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.199 our and then in the in the ninety day family, 100 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.319 in the fore Finger Discount family, have started to say 101 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:19.279 how much they're into it. 102 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.560 I think it was a ginger Ginger made a way 103 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.600 through it and she was like, oh God, that is 104 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.240 always death, and I think our pale Jordan Molman Ritchie. 105 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:37.240 Also piped up in defense of NDF NINETYF. No, it's 106 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.079 not even an acronym that people use. I'm trying to 107 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:40.519 make I'm trying to make that chat I'm not going 108 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.399 to happen and I shouldn't do it. But they usually 109 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.839 run two seasons concurrently because there are a spinofs. You know, 110 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.160 there's nightety Day, the other way, there's ninety Day. Happily. Ever, 111 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.680 after all this kind of stuff and one just wrapped 112 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.480 up and they're about to start another one, there's going 113 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.639 to be a bit of a churnover. I think you're 114 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.959 doing ninety Day the last resort where couples that have 115 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.279 been on the show and have been constantly battling. It's like, 116 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.480 we're going to send you to like it's a real 117 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.079 rip off of the white loads. They even use like 118 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.560 white lotus music. This is the second season, but the 119 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.519 first one they did they send me like this deserted 120 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.959 resort somewhere in Mexico. It's really kind of spooky. It 121 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.959 was like they were at the hotel from the Shining 122 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.399 Fear Factor Little well yeah, I mean it wasn't speak 123 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.079 because they put them for challenges, although they did put 124 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.800 them through sort of emotional challenge. I know it's going 125 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:29.720 to save your marriage eating scorpions. That they would frame 126 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.000 it like that. It's like this is a trust exercise. 127 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.879 You're going to feed your partner a scorpion, or we're 128 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.920 gonna say your feed your partner like, oh I don't 129 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.319 want to eat it, big D, but I love you, 130 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.639 so you wouldn't put a scorby in my mouth, and no, no, 131 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.120 they put some dumb shit. Why am I watching this stuff? 132 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.319 I love I love you, I love you, Luise. This 133 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.600 is why I'm watching. But anyway, so there's that, but no, 134 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.720 something that and I are quite into at the moment 135 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.439 is The Day of the Jackal. It is on Peacock 136 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.959 in the US and it is on Foxtel slash Binge 137 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.480 here Daid. Jackal is one of those names I think 138 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.920 people know, even if you've never seen the original film 139 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.480 or read the original novel by Frederick Fords, The Master 140 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.279 of Susprench. It's essentially the Jackal. It's code named war 141 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.120 an assassin for high when of these guys, he's a 142 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.079 master of the skies. You're paying an exambalant amount of money 143 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.399 and he will you take out your designated target in 144 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:28.959 some ludicrous inventive and it's an assassin. Is an assassin, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 145 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.839 but a cool I mean killing people. He's killing people. 146 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.879 He's played by the Academy Award winning actor Eddie Redmain. 147 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.439 A lot of people don't like Eddie Redmain. He's a 148 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.120 fantastic beast guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, guy, I have no 149 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.439 whatsoever you are red main topic. You get a lot 150 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.040 of people who are very online, or this guy's too much. 151 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.160 Or didn't he play Stephen Hawking without him? He did, 152 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.720 and he won the oscar for that else did okay? 153 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.279 I mean he was good in that found Oh yeah. 154 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.000 It's like I love the guy or despise the guy. 155 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.199 I just that guy. There are certain people, certain actors, 156 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.680 particularly that a certain segment of people online will like. 157 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.800 Don't like that guy. He could do any he could win, 158 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.279 ask us, he could try different stuff, have a great 159 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.240 versatile body work. Now I don't like him? Yeah, for 160 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.519 whatever reason? How I get through life? No no one 161 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.199 likes Oh I hate what Hayden? No one likes me. 162 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.360 Everybody like, you're the baby face. I'm the heel. Oh 163 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.120 you really? Yeah? Am I I don't think so?

In the show Where's Mitch, Mitch, we're occasionally 166 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.560 bespirching Mitch's character. He's pretty off, mitches up, living his 167 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:55.920 best life, lovely child, a job, you know, plays a 168 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.079 bit of cricket every once and again. I should have 169 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.160 to ask by the way she broke her should collar 170 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.759 bone or something when you usually say shout out to someone. 171 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.879 It's like, well done you. I hope you're getting better 172 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.439 well as I do. Is playing crickets because he said crickets. 173 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.360 She which's wife in case you're not aware, reaching for 174 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.120 the ball put her hands out flat and it's like, 175 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.519 completely broke her collar bone. Not damn, yeah, no good. 176 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.120 She's only young. She shouldn't be doing that. Ship that 177 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.040 should be that's the province of me. Yeah, reaching for 178 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:28.600 a glass one of the best memes e. It was like, yeah, 179 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.439 when you're twenty or twenty five or whatever, you stayed 180 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.919 on I go to work whatever. It's like I look 181 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.960 to see what was out the window and now I'm 182 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:44.120 a quadriplegic. That's essentially what it's like, rewinding, rewinding, rewinding, 183 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.919 day of the Jackal Eddie redmade. It's given him a 184 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.720 little bit. Not he didn't need a career boots. He 185 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.279 was doing perfectly fine. But everyone's like it's always the 186 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.480 way you take someone who vaguely tough or whatever, you 187 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:55.840 put a gun in their hand and you make him 188 00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:02.159 capable of it. It's like, wow, yeah, this who un'tseeen 189 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.399 depth and charisma from this person. It's really good. It's 190 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:10.399 a ten episode mini series. I think they've just renewed 191 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.320 it for a second season, which I guess The Jackal 192 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.679 was getting away at the air and but we are 193 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.480 very much enjoying it on a Sunday night this weekend 194 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.440 looks like it's gonna be good, a good time on 195 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.000 the couch for lu And although we've got to go 196 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.600 to a Thanksgiving party for our threat, well we have 197 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.919 to got to do it. 198 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.919 Luise organizes the social events and you're like, oh the 199 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.960 fuck men, she's not one. 200 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.240 Hundred percent stoked about it either. Yeah, but these are 201 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.159 after our friends Fane and Will, who love to throw 202 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.320 a party. They do they they're the people who do Chris. 203 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.039 There's a lot of friends who'd love to throw a party. 204 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.440 It sounds like indeed, I think Blue would like to 205 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.320 do that as well. I'm like, really do we have to? 206 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:49.000 I don't like going to parties, let them throwing them anyway, 207 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.679 But we're doing that. But there's also great looking documentary 208 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.200 starting to morrow called yacht Rock, a documentary run up 209 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.879 My Alley, and another show called The Agency, which sounds 210 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.480 but like the Day of the Jackal. It's former CIA 211 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.879 agent gets himself into Shenanigans. So yeah, I'm very much 212 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:07.600 in my dad era. 213 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.360 No children, I always love like children FBI former CIA. 214 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.440 It's like the cliche Arnold Schwarzenegger's script or what it's like. 215 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.000 He was once a formal CIA, then they killed his 216 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.200 wife and now he's back for revenge. That like, what's 217 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.559 that film where he they kill his daughter or something? 218 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.320 Is that? 219 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.679 That's not a razor? Is it? Which is the one 220 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.559 where they killed Schwartzenegger's daughter. Uh, there's one called Aftermath 221 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.039 where she does in a plane crash. 222 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.440 I thought they no, don't think no, no, no, Maybe 223 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:42.279 I'm thinking of any other action. Yeah, they blow up 224 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.799 someone's they blop someone's kid in a car. 225 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:47.120 It was a movie. 226 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.039 It was like a nineties film. It was any of 227 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:50.840 the state. Maybe they blow someone's kid in the car. 228 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.159 It was that that timeframe. Okay, I just love my nineties. 229 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.519 Who doesn't Anyway, the next question, let's get to it, 230 00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.320 but ten minutes one question? 231 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.440 Is there a lot in the bag? Is the heavy bag? 232 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.759 It's pretty heavy? Wow? 233 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.600 Kell me Donald, What has been your favorite movie release 234 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.799 this year so far? Animated or not animated? How do 235 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.360 you both feel about Pamela Hayden those two separate questions. Okay, 236 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.639 so what's your favorite movie release so far this year? 237 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.679 I really enjoyed The Wild Robot. 238 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.360 I mean to check out The Wild right, Yeah, it's good. 239 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.679 The startup, it's really spooky for kids, Like the first 240 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.240 five minutes, Holly was like, I don't think I like this, 241 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.159 and I thought, it's more like this, probably have to 242 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.279 get her out of here, because actually it's very dark. 243 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.559 But the premise is that he's going around not knowing 244 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.399 what's going on. He's never been to this planet before, 245 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.159 and there's just like bear's. 246 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.120 Gone right out of nowhere. 247 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.200 And so the first five minute's a little scary for kids, 248 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.720 but the rest of the film fantastic. 249 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.919 And the Wild Robot is she's a she? Yeah, so 250 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.559 did I say he? I think no. 251 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.399 What it is is so the robot is friend a 252 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.960 friend's little baby duck and that raises this Yeah, yeah that, 253 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.600 and I think the duck is scared of the animals 254 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:51.879 or something. 255 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.360 I don't know. 256 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.720 Anyway, sounds about right. But The Wild Robot, Yeah, good movie. 257 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:56.440 I really enjoyed it. 258 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:57.399 All Right, You're going to have to give me a 259 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.919 second here because I'm trying really hard to remember what 260 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.960 is coming out this year, twenty twenty four movies, Gladiator 261 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.559 too yet I have not. I've heard. 262 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.879 Mix things mixed. We like Megalopolis, didn't you I didn't 263 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.039 think that was too bad? Just pick one film doesn't matter. 264 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.000 I know. I not go with Harold and the Purple Crayon, 265 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.279 just going yeah, because I'm a real Zachary le b Head. 266 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:25.360 Actually a great movie for kids. The premise sounds like whatever. 267 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.240 You look at the picture and go, oh, there's gonna 268 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.279 this film looks stupid. Nicoleokok the kiss to see it, 269 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.399 absolutely loved it. We had a house. I say a 270 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.240 house was probably the seven kids right who were running 271 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.360 ramp but going mental didn't like it. One of them 272 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.799 sort of just he's just he's fer at the best 273 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.080 of times. We put on Harold and the Purple Crayon 274 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.559 and they're like, yeah, we put it on. They sat 275 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.039 there for the whole film and loved it. Harold and 276 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.840 the Purple Crayon. Don't ask me how why kids love it? 277 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:59.000 Interesting? Interesting look, there's maybe a bit of a normal choice. 278 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.960 I like Gym too, Okay. I've never seen either of 279 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.399 the Dune films. I could lend them to you on 280 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.360 four K recently picked them. I've got them, but I've 281 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.559 never watched them. Okay, flex, we love plex. What a flex. 282 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.600 We'll change my internet this week and now I can 283 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.360 be like, oh everything works again. 284 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.600 Oh that's right. Yeah, I'm having a lot of dropouts. 285 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.120 Zero dropouts, which is a fantastic thing. I I I'll say, 286 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:23.000 how fast my internet? 287 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.000 Check out this picture? So when you're downloading? Almost every 288 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.799 time I see you, you're talking toast when you're when 289 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.159 you download something, what was it usually download out? What's man? 290 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.919 I don't know fast? It depends well, it depends on 291 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.600 the file, It depends on the whatever. What's usually get out? 292 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.039 What number? Well, you give me a number and I'll 293 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.000 say it. When was that ninety six the other day? 294 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:48.360 That sounds pretty quick. I download fourteen gig and under 295 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:55.960 five minutes. Well that's very quick. Well, good for you. 296 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:00.240 And the recently, when I've been coming out over the 297 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:05.960 record with Dando, he will talk about how terrible his 298 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.000 old internet provider was, start dropping the name of his 299 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.399 new internet provider and then saying, let's see if you 300 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.679 can get yeah, looking at my postcard, No you can't 301 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.919 get it. Yeah, it sucks. He was very much like 302 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:28.559 the kid in the Eddie Murviys game super say, hey, 303 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.720 you have a good time with your superne two a lot? Okay? 304 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.200 As She also asked cal, how do you both feel 305 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.240 about Pamela Hayden retiring and what impact do you think 306 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:38.919 it will have on the show going forward. There's two 307 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.960 ways that can go about it. Now, I have the 308 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.080 inside word that the idea of AI and the Simpsons 309 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.159 has already been addressed, addressed in house. 310 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.879 I imagine it would have been went down like a lead balloon. 311 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:57.279 Oh boy, So it wasn't like, Okay, Pamela sit in 312 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.799 this recording booth with the last of your brand, read 313 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.600 the dictionary. Yeah, I think I will say a selection 314 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.320 of words that we can then manipulate into the voice 315 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.000 of Millhouse that was not the voice of Millhouse. 316 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.600 I won't name names because you know the names we're 317 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.440 talking about. There are some names already on the show 318 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.480 who you watch the show now and go those voices 319 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:18.480 don't sound anything like they're supposed to, and it's very 320 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.759 distracting when you're watching the show. If you're watching just 321 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.000 nothing but new episodes, you probably just get used to it. 322 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.399 But when you go from an old one to a 323 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.240 new one, to the point where I put one on 324 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.879 the other day, kids put a new one. A Nicola goes, 325 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:34.759 have they replaced March? Okay, no, She's like, oh shit, okay, right, honestly, 326 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.279 I love. 327 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.919 How you say we don't have to name names. Yeah, 328 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:39.840 well it's obvious anyways. 329 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.919 So I think, Pamela, you listen to Millhouse now and 330 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:45.799 you can see you can start to hear the signs 331 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:47.519 of oh, it's not quite where it used to be. 332 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.080 I think she just went, you look, you know what. 333 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.600 I'm seventy, I've made my money. My voice ain't what 334 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.000 it used to be. I'm out. I think she wanted 335 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:56.200 to get out before I got to the point of 336 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:57.159 everyone going. 337 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.960 Oh god, have you heard it? Voice is so bad? 338 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.240 A couple of snipefuckers from GEELONGO, yeah, get out. Yeah. 339 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.000 So, as I said, the AI has been addressed and 340 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.759 hasn't gone down well so far with whom read between 341 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.960 the lines? Who do you think as in like who 342 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.559 told me that that? 343 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:17.279 No? 344 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.159 No, no, you probably read between the lines and the 345 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.360 work who that was as well? But it apparently was 346 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.679 like the plan would be that. I think I think personally. 347 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.960 What they should do going forward is they the voice 348 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.399 actors themselves who still do the show. Do the act 349 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.360 it out right, because voice acting is acting right. Have 350 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.639 them act out the roles and then use AI to 351 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.320 have it sound like their original voice. I don't think 352 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.480 that's an It could be seen as offensive, but I 353 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.480 think that would mean that they are still performing the show. 354 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.159 But maybe it makes them feel inadequate. I'm not too sure. 355 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.759 Yeah, I know I think that I think they would 356 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:01.039 feel quite inadequate for doing that. You know, it's, you know, 357 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.680 the equivalent of using using steroids or something. 358 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.400 Yeah, but what's best for the product though, you know 359 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.839 what I mean, you're doing for the product. 360 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.960 I know where you're coming from. Part of me is 361 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.559 very much adapt or die. You know, it's like because 362 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:17.720 it's not introducing new voices. I mean, you don't even 363 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.720 necessarily have to do a one to eighty shift in 364 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.759 terms of like Millers used to sund like this, and 365 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.880 now they saying like this because we've got used to 366 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.160 a person A and now we've got person B doing it. 367 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.279 At the same time, I think it would be a 368 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.480 little disrespectful to have someone come in and do like 369 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.000 a really good imitation of person a person they come 370 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.359 a person be coming and doing a really good impersonation 371 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.200 a person person a. Yeah, I don't know. It's a 372 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.519 tough one. The problem is they've replaced characters voice wise 373 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.079 for other reasons and yeah, in recent years, right, and 374 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.119 they don't take Obviously, I'm sort of well into the 375 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.240 voice acting community now with the podcast of Jim, but 376 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.200 even the Simpsons approach. 377 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.839 Now, I don't know whether it's a Simpsons decision or 378 00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.759 whether it's a Fox decision or Disney decision, but they 379 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:01.960 they don't look for who does the best voice, because 380 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.039 we've got our man Jayden Lebron who does a great 381 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.519 Smithers or he has a great Doctor Hibbit, right, and 382 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.160 Jaden is African American, all right, so there's no issue 383 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.440 there with him voicing Doctor Hibbitt. But they hire celebrities, 384 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.400 they're a name. It's like, how about you just hire 385 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.839 the best voice, hire the best voice for the voice 386 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.920 for the role, and then the character would be the best. 387 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.200 But now you watch up the hipp and you go, 388 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.519 this doesn't sound anything like it. 389 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.400 Yeah, but you know, yeah, it's a very interesting development. 390 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.400 I mean, going back to the old days, we used 391 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.400 to have movie stars in this country, you know. And 392 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:40.559 this was more for live action stuff and voice actors 393 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.559 and animated movies would be terrific voice actors, but not 394 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.839 necessarily above the marquee names or above the title names. 395 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:49.880 Now it seems to have gone the other way in 396 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.960 that live action movies. I'm using sort of an old 397 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.599 example here, but it's more like the character is the star. 398 00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:59.640 You know, people go to see Captain America or Thor 399 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:04.079 or Man or something or Deadpool. Admittedly Ryan rends a dimple, 400 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.279 but they're not necessarily stars. The character is the star, 401 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.200
