Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, welcome, everyone, welcome. I've gotten very lost in the sauce.
This is just an exciting day right like one. We're back,
We're live, and I love every second of it. I've
missed everyone. Next thing, we got Katie Summers in here.
Katie new on the show amazing. I got lost in
the sauce when we talked about Stranger Things, because I
(00:22):
don't know if you guys felt that way being off,
but there was so much I wanted to talk about
that I would be I write it out. And I
love my fiance, She's the love of my life. And
I want to thank Alyssa for putting up with me
and the four hour show I put on in the
apartment every single day. I just have talking points that
I had to get to. We did the whole Stranger
Things topic, but I didn't even solicit for the topic.
(00:45):
What I want to do right now is rewrite the
ending to a show. Eight hundred four oh nine ninety
three ninety three. Think about all the shows that you've watched,
is there one that you're not happy with the ending?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Katie immediately had I feel like I'm not alone. Game
of Thrones, the last season was rushed.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
It was trash.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I hear that a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
My sister is a big Game of Thrones fan, and
she was so upset.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
With the ending.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
What made it so trash?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I honestly, I think I blacked it out because I
can't I remember parts of it, but it was super short.
They just made it like so obvious, like who the
Night King was and who was gonna with the Night King?
And after dedicating what was it eight seasons? I think
it was eight or nine, and I binged that in
two months.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh my god, those are long episodes eight four, nine,
ninety three, ninety three. You could text it ninety seven
seven twos. Here you get to rewrite the ending of
your show, or maybe it's a show that hasn't ended yet,
an you want to rewrite that.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
So there's a website, Joe that's called TV Charts, and
it basically gives you a scale of one to ten
how good each episode is for that season without spoiling it.
It just tells you if it's good or bad Game
of Thrones. This season finale got four stranger things?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
What did it get? Okay, I'd give it a ten.
I wouldn't change anything about it.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
I loved it, did you guys, ever watch Shameless.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It doesn't have the season five out yet. For stranger Things,
I have not.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Shameless was so good and it was based in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You would actually like it. Frank Gallagher, the dad, I
would have never he was the main character. Why would
you kill him off? He was the funniest showler.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
This is great.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Sorry, but yeah, why would you do that?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
So he just dies from COVID right on.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Ashley got a six point seven exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Someone just texted him. Maybe maybe we'll get him on it,
says Ozark's ending was Booty.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What happened in the ending?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Talked about that Joe for a while. You know, how
does it end? Do they do? They all die? I
don't know?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Can I say it?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I mean, well Ruth dies at the end? She does?
You're right, I'm so mad you does.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
I got a seven points you out of ten. I
knows Arks the final Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They escape?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I know the Bird family they did. They didn't have
to be a part of that whole criminal like, yeah,
I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
DJ Jamie Ferira the Sopranos was trashed.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
That was definitely I've never seen it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
One of the worst endings that one of the worst.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
How are you How are you going to end a
saga like that, which is a song and then fade
to black?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Yeah, well you're wrong, Jamie and so am I. That
got a nine point four out of ten for the.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I choose your own advice.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Ja, What is the movie?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I told you I'll watch him the first time, and
I was like, oh my, he killed his right hand.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
In what movie?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
It was a mafia movie. He killed his right hand
in what's his name? Plays with the famous.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Actor of the offense?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
What movie is that?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Godfather? Yes?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I just know he's like the big guy and he's
like killing everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's Starface. You're thinking of scar Yes, yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Star Base watched that for the first time, would have
changed because why are you gonna kill your right hand man?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You got to now it's like you're killing Jed.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's yeah down, Yeah, thanks for a good plot. You
never heard about Jenini's exit plan.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
What's the exit point?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
We're going out at the same time. Oh okay, he
doesn't know about the exit.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Plane either, like Thelma and Louise, surely we have cliffs
in Florida.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Or like that's your guys and the other guys. They
the Office ending. It should have ended when Michael left.
They stretched it out too much in those last part
they're trying to figure out the whole Jim and Pam stuff.
Jim and PM stink. Yeah, it should have just Michael
goes to the airport, flies off the show, flies.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
So Joe for the Office. And this is all according
to TV charts. This is where they go from all
the databases and they give you a rating on a
scale of one to ten. This season finale of the
Office got or this series finale got a nine point eight.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That's actually really good.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
They're wrong, but season eight was by far the worst
trated season.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Scrub should have ended after season eight. Not gonna lie,
there was no need for season nine.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Who's John? They did? John so dirty? Oh they're talking
about in uh Gas, what happens to John? He dies?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'm telling you, I blacked it out. I feel something
awesome was supposed to happen and it didn't, and I
was mad.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yuckie. Scrubs got really bad finale.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Scrubs coming back.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
But they shouldn't have did season nine? Should this should
be season one? Season nine was garbage.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Honestly, Seinfeld ending sucked. Remember it ended with all of
them going to prison?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Really?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Wait, really I don't even remember.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I remember just Cosmo, Kramer and Costanza in prison in
that episode. Maybe that's how we end the Joe Show.
Oh that'd be so great. All the Joe Show goes
to Alligator Alley.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Good God, sounds fun.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Seinfeld ending, man, is it really they all were to do?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
So? How would you have ended, Seinfeld? Because that's the
thing you got to figure out how to wrap. Like,
people aren't happy with the whole Stranger things. But I
sometimes I feel like we're mad that it ended because
it ended.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, I just know that, for a fact, we could
have had somebody from the main cast.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Eye. I hate that you say that. I hate that
you say that.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Just can't be Lucas or Dustin Love Dusty.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I just I can't believe you gotta be Mike.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Sorry, Mike O.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why not Mike? All right? Fine, here was a fan theory,
all right? Would you have rather it ended the way
it ended? Or people had a theory that it was
going to end in this way, it was going to
end with Mike, which it kind of almost did, where
he's writing everything it ends with Mike writing a story
boom the end, and what you find out is is
(06:44):
that everything that happened in Stranger Things was Mike's imagination
and Will died. He wrote Stranger Things based off of
I Will make Me wanting Will to it television.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Yeah, really, don't never don't even joke about that meaning.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You didn't like that?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Didn't you imagine this all?
Speaker 5 (07:13):
I just had an epiphany show the worst worst series
ending ever was lost After watching every single episode and
it ends like that, you feel like you just wasted
seven like seasons.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Of your life.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
So you want me to give you you want me
to give you a basic snopsis of what happened. These
people get wrecked up, that they were never alive.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
They were dead, no way, oh no oh yeah it
was some yeah, some bs. That was it.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
They were the whole time they moved afterlife together.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
It was like a series show where it was seven
eight seasons long and people were And.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Also prison break. Oh was that that was such a
bad ending? Prison break? I'm assuming they get out of prison.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Yeah, but how I'm saying, how can you can't make
it like a six or seven season long thing because
it jumps the shark At some point they.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Said, prison Break has two endings.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, that's not fair. No one.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Yeah, I'd be really upset about that because now you're
not standing on business.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I didn't even know. I didn't even know. Yeah, huh,
all right, how would you have ended it prison break? Yeah? Well,
you keep saying that these endings stink, but you're not
rewriting it. I am, I told I don't. Well, that's true.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I didn't give you anything, Okay, as Seinfeld, I would
have had just Jerry Seinfeld go on a manic episode
and kill everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That'd be funny, it's a comedy.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
But you know what, jet's not rewriting. What was that?
Although you would actually like that, I would.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Somebody has to die at the end.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Somebody asked, Seinfeld, did did Larry David die at the
end of Curb Your enthusiasm was that the I thought
that they're still doing No, they already had their final
Hurrah or their final go I don't know what happened. Hey, Tammy,
you did not like.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Michae and l didn't get their happy ending, and l
was the one that was literally traumatized her whole life life,
and then they just just kidding.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
You get to die now.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
No, do you think she actually died? Though?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
That made me even more mad.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I don't think she's really good.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
She's wandered off into the abyss somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What if she did?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Though, they play my games.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I think you guys don't need to be happier thoughts
on the the end, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
They needed to be happier, Tammy, I love you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Gotta kill somebody man, Well, let's write hour ending to
