category choices. You don't want to pay for your porn.
You don't want to pay your egg yolk Yeah, same.

bit snotty that you know, pretentious. Yeah, they're a bit McCartney. Oh,
whereas Variety, Vulture, the little more Linen.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
E No, I see the difference. I don't see the
difference either, if you could do it again.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I don't understand the Linen party because Hollywood they're they're
oh this pole and then Lenin.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Huh. I would think it'd be the other way.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Really, Lenen felt anti capitalism, and but I would agree
with Christina McCartney was.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's not that, it's the way they sound. So what
happened in Yeah, it's the story.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is the last day of the first half of the year,
June thirtieth, tomorrow's July first, and tomorrow on the show,
we will have top benningskon shows from the month of June.
And I'm just saying, looking at the stuff now, maybe
multiple segments.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Wow, we were stacked. We were not.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Very good last month, and we'd like to apologize to
our fans.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But the Hollywood Reporter critics picked the ten best TV
shows of twenty twenty five so far, okay, so far,
all right. They did the same with movies. We'll get
to that later in the week as well. Sunday Night
Baseball in no order, because we don't need to be
ranking things. These are the top ten things and Sunday
Night Baseball is not one of them.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Damn it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
The Studio Apple TV Day. Did you finish Dog? You
can't say that with the intro? Uh No, I'm stuck
on the same episode I was, and I got distracted
because of the Bear is such a better TV show.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I think I finished it nice. I think I did.
He sounds pretty memorable. I don't know what happens in
the the old school Hollywood platter.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
What is that? Oh my god? Oh oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah I did. I did with the water fountain. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. I finished it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I thought it was amazing. I've liked what I've seen
so far.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I didn't know, Like when I watched the Last of US,
I didn't know that was the finale either. I kept
waiting for another episode to air.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I was like, well, that was it. They did have
the sneaky seven episode season. We didn't see coming. That
was surprising. Is that on there last one. We'll get
to that in a second. Okay, here's what I'll say
about it. Might not be in it. Might I haven't
seen the list.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Here's what I'll say about the studio. And you may
have felt differently. Christina may have felt differently.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We haven't seen it all. No, I know, and I
like it.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
But when this episode was over, I didn't have any
debate in my head as to whether or not I
should watch another.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Was like, all right, I'll get around to it.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Whereas the second the Bear's over, I'm like, God, do
I step till three and watch another one?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It's so good I can't wait. And I would invite
you to get in your car and go home right now.
The rehearsal, HBO, it's fantastic. Okay, this is Kevin Turner
vindicated this okay?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Is this a comedy? Is this documentary? Is this a
weird experiment? Is this the riskiest thing that's ever been
done on television? The answers yes to go. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Christina, you talked about this and say, HBO thing the pit.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Oh yes, yeah, it's an er room. But it goes
like hour by hour of like what they actually deal with.
And seriously, you will, I mean doctors, they put up
with enough, but after watching this, you seriously have a
whole new appreciation, especially for emergency doctors.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Pretend like Noah Wiley is the same guy he was
on TV two decades ago.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think you have to assume that he's Carter and
this this is not like a documentary.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
This is a fiction.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yes, fiction okay, uh And I told you I had
a friend start working in an ERM and it's amazing
how many things people get stuck in their butt.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's crazy, it's hot. There's a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Shampoo bottle, all whatever up there. I'd like on the
rankings of things.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, right, in terms of prosthetic arm sometimes if you're
out of shampoo, you just checked to see if there's
an extra bottle.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Adolescents, Netflix, Sad and Door, Disney Star Wars.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
I tried.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Okay, everyone I talked to said, man, this is terrible.
And then when slightly biased our friend finished it, he said,
this is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That's what our friend Jason Farntello said. Okay, what was
it called? And Door seen it? That's no Moon.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Animated show and adult swim called common side Effects makes
the list yep. Mike Judges involved. Oh, I'm gonna tell
you this show I have seen and it does look
like an acid trip, but I haven't I've just watched
one episode.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's confusing. Oh that's all. So that's good. The last
of us should be on there, but there wasn't. What
about the bear, Well, the bear just started. Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Coming up next and just a matter of three plus minutes,
