Speaker 1 (00:00):
You were listening to DC on Screen. Welcome into DC
on Screen. I am your host, David C. Robertson. This
is my co host Jason Goss. Hello, and you know
what we're doing right now. We are talking about Peacemaker
two of two. A Man is only as Good as
his Bird.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
A title that spoiler alert will start to matter.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I enjoyed the episode. I had
to feel like I have much the same issue with
this episode as I did the last episode. I saw
a lot of the best bits in the trailer.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, definitely, like episode one and two, we're like episode one,
part one and two.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
This is the bit that we had to do most
of what we've seen. I feel like in these last
two episodes are establishing where we are right now, right
year two ish later. What I mean. I know the
one scene was eight months ago as it flashed, but
we're some time past. Yeah, but yeah, like a lot
(01:05):
of the service of this has been in telling us
what's been going on.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I do feel like at the end of this episode
we have now really gotten started on like season two
of Pieacemaker. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I feel like we're past most of the real
heavy trailer points anyway. He look, man, I love Tim Meadows. Sorry,
I was much My mind was so much more agile
when we started talking. Huh we meant to start talking
like three hours ago. Yeah. Sorry, well we did start talking,
(01:39):
and then we didn't record this, right. But so Tim
Meadows as Langston Flurry, he's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He is the most aggressively weird. He's actively unlikable.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You know what's funny. According to Gunn Chris Smith, Peacemaker
has become softer and less aggressive and season and Langston
is taking on the role of the total asshole, much
like Peacemaker was last season. He says, Langston he is
a very politically incorrect asshole throughout most of the season
and also an incredibly funny guy. And if you think
(02:14):
back to like who Peacemaker was in that season where
he's talking about butt babies and all sorts of weird,
fucked up, stupid shit.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay, and you're going like, this is where those jokes
are now?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I see, yeah, I think yeah. And once I saw
gun say that.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It makes sense.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I was like, oh, okay, yeah, let's see what you
did there, all right, he is.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
He's fun, but I really gotta I gotta have little
more time with him for to Phil he is, I
mean it, him talking right now feels like sandpaper rubbing
on my cheek. What what he's saying is so actively
odd in these conversations, I'm like Jesus Man, like, it's
it's triggering my like you know that when you sweated
(03:02):
the first time you watched the office kind of response.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, do we not have a word for that yet?
Do we not?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's been twenty years. Why do we not have been
a word?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Fanti comedy.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, but that's and that's not even quite what it is,
but it kind of but like there should be a
word for that sweaty reaction.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, I think it's I think that might be cringe humor, Like, yeah, yeah,
he's whatever, he's got it. Yeah, but it's Tim Meadows.
So like, I have not seen I have not I've
never seen a project that wasn't saved or at least
elevated greatly by the presence of Tim Meadows.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So, like when he comes in and he starts calling
fuck Economos ginger cool. Yeah, he's like, what the fuck? Yeah,
I did Economost goes I don't give a ship, and
he goes, of course, not, you're ginger cool.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, actually, I mean I thought I was really gonna
just dig him a lot more on that first line
where he says like, I don't have to do shit
for you, but I will because I'm polite. Like I
really loved the because I'm polite. That was That was wonderful.
And then after a few few other sentences them, oh man,
I do think I kind of want to punch this
(04:18):
guy though.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah. I mean he did make a good point when
he was like, I do shit because you can't fire
a weapon while it's holstered. Yeah, they're like, ah fuck, yeah, yeah,
you're right, You're right Langston Jesus. And but then you know,
like you said, like he he I don't know, he
gets into such a an awkward space where he's he's
(04:40):
talking about fucking bird blindness.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, I don't know how to take him yet. Like
all right, so you think the show is gonna let
him be cooler than he's supposed to be at certain times,
like when he's introduced himself to the economos and he's
he's like eating his chicken nugget, know, demanding which style
of physical to touch touch should I, you know, get
(05:04):
you with or whatever? All this is just real, over
the top alpha and you think the show is going
to be like this is okay, this character's cool and
you have to accept it. But then a couple seems later,
he's on the phone just getting an assitude out like
he's clearly a poser.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh definitely, yeah, definitely yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I didn't know what to do with him by the end,
I don't know how to take him. And then and
then we're gonna invent something called bird blindness. I feel
I feel like it is quite certainly not a real thing.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I did look it up.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Is it a real thing?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Okay, bird blindness is not a real thing. I think
I got it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Have changed a lot about how the world.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But there is a real condition, apparently called visual agnosia,
and it is divine. Cleveland Clinic defines it as a
condition that disrupts your brain's ability to process and understand
what you see with your eyes. And there are lots
of different types of visual agnosia, and two apparently come
the closest to explaining Flury's bird blindness. The first is formagnosia,
(06:08):
where you were able to see parts of an object
but can't recognize the object itself. So that might explain
how Flury knows a bird has wings and a beak,
but doesn't know what type of birds it is, bird
it is, or how small it is.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I really kept expecting him to say it, to say, like, oh,
see his feathers moving.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, But less likely though, he could have prosopagnosia, which
is a popularly known as face blindness. Yeah. Oh, and
they've done tests apparently people with face blindness. Also, it's
the same with animals.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean a little, but like there's a lot going
on in the brain where like humans recognize faces very
particularly like other animals can recognize our faces, but there's
a different and how other animals and we as animals
think about face right, So, like the face blindness thing
is just neurologically a little different than like I don't
know what a bird is. And the funniest part about
(07:11):
it is like it just makes it makes me still
wonder where we are in the show. I'm still trying
to figure out where how close I'm standing into the
fourth wall.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
With that bit, Yeah, because I felt the same.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because he's acting like he can't tell the different between
Hummingbird and big Bird, and he's standing next to him.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, I know the difference because I read it. Yeah,
I mean the delivery is really funny, and it's funny
that they're all being attacked by eagerly and he is
like shooting around wildly because he doesn't know where to shoot. Yes, yeah, yeah,
And of course the bit at the end reads like
I got attacked by fucking duck. The entire that.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Line was worth every discussion that had happened before it. Yeah,
I don't know what to make of how silly that
is yet, I guess it's pretty established it is, how
firm it is, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's pretty silly. It's a little too silly for me.
But also we're in a We're in a universe where
you know, Superman exists, so we're already in a certain era,
you know, arena that I'm just like, okay, you know, like,
and I appreciate that about Gun, that he's willing to
go like, well, there are these things. So if you're
(08:29):
looking at someone who I guess would be considered a
beta or something who desperately wants to be in alpha,
who is trying really the fuck hard I don't know.
Maybe maybe we get an answer somewhere that he's he
doesn't really have bird blindness, he's just a really bad
shot or you know, some some weird thing or maybe
(08:52):
like someone fucked with his head, like maybe makes you
spit look at something with his brain or something when
he was a kid. Who knows Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
don't know, Like it's just is a funny. I don't know,
whatever it is, it's Tim Badows and I'm I'm digging
it so far, even though I did feel like that
was a little close, a little close to not not
wanting that.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, that one fucks with you a little bit. Now
they but God, like the big the big winner of
the episode is that fucking like so as they're about
to break in, by the way, that was such a
weird conversation before, but as they're as they're about to
break in and everyone's away from the house, like, did
(09:36):
you also have a moment where as it you know,
as that scene's about to unfold, I kind of thought, oh, yeah,
the name of the episode, Uh huh, this is about
to get bad.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
No. I remembered the trailer and I was like, okay, well,
at some point this motherfucker's going to lose an eye
outside of the house.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh, I didn't even I didn't think about the trailer
yet at that point.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, that happened like right outside of the house at night.
It was one of those guys eyes.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Although although I did think about didn't you drop a
finger in the trailer at some point?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
He does? But I don't know. Yeah, I guess so.
I it doesn't matter that I saw in the trailer.
I still laugh when he goes titties. What's that third
name he gave that, that guy Qupie doll, Cupie.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I don't know if that's reference to anything.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't A QP doll is a thing? Is it
a thing? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Is that something my daughter's supposed to own? And I'm
a terrible parent?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Uh? They I don't know. It's just a little baby doll, man,
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Okay, so probably gotcha.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
No, I mean, I think they're like vintage and shit,
like I don't. I haven't seen a Kepie doll around,
but I don't look in those aisles. I'm too busy
looking at McFarlane. I sent you a picture of a
Keepie doll.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
By the way, Oh God, may it never enter my household.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Creepy looking, they're awful.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It, but yeah, I think there's a fair amount of
evidence to support, or there will be by the end
of this this podcast that I'm really just like the
Tim Meadows saved the whole thing for me. Yeah, I
just I love him so much. Like he's like that dude,
(11:18):
I laugh. I laught so hard. I'd seen it in
the clip too. It didn't matter when he's like that
motherfucker looks like he got he caught all the pokey man. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh, so they have a lovely bit after where again
I keep wondering how much the show is gonna make
me swallow about how weird he is.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
If season one is any indication a lot, I.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Will be choking on that by the end of I'm sure.
But the the the bit at the end where and
it's it seems like it's it that one almost seems
like a not so much improv tape but maybe an
on the on the day kind of take of thing.
But it's definitely different than what you see in the
episode because in the episode he just sort of turns
(12:04):
and blinks, and like you take away from that that
Economos is telling you, telling the audience he's a weirdo,
right m M getting my dick sucked by two high bitches,
I think or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And he the day you learned about the pokeing Man.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, but like later he's he tries to quiz, Okay,
what were their name? Blah blah blah, what were their
hair color?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's asking him more questions, finally gets down, like where
where it happened Portland, Oregon? Were they hot?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That one and that was a lot funnier where. By
the end of that conversation, Economost believes him, Yeah, fully
believes him.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I still I don't know what they're gonna get. I
don't know what he's going to put me through with
this character. Yet I'm curious about it. Yeah, I don't scared,
not scared. I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I mean he's just you know, his underlings. Cup Doll
woke him up from getting attacked by Eagerly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I don't know how q P Doll wasn't more damaged.
I thought all of them were were way more damaged.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, I mean I think Titty has got her maybe dead.
Titts is dead. I think can't tell you got her
jugular ripped out. I think I couldn't tell.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They kind of made it sound like we had to
getybody in the hospital, and they didn't really give Titties
a death scene. So I don't know what we're doing
with her yet. I don't know what the plant is.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, I don't know. Titties might have survived. There's a chance,
even into the line of fire like that with all
the action going on, him just screaming Titties.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, absolutely killed me. I think the name it would
have been a funny joke, just to name everybody all
at once and not worry about it. But I think
I think it stuck really after he just exclaims worried too.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, I love this reasoning, Like, how else am I
gonna remember all of you? Like, yeah, their names, Man,
I don't know. This dude's just so weird.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think they're they're going a little hard on on
whr hardcourt being so mean?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, just a little. I think they'll be done with
it after probably the third episode of Guessing.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, I mean there, well, they're so she's so mean,
and maybe maybe it makes sense, like if it were
anybody else who didn't have that level of trauma as
a kid with a hateful asshole as a father who
you were always seeking approval from, right, right, But Peacemaker
is that guy, so I guess it makes sense that
he keeps trying to be there for her even though
(14:37):
she's terrible.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Right of course. Well, and they've shared something that we're
gonna find out about later.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, but that water finds its own level. Shit, damn
it that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That that that was brutal. Yeah, she's she's going, She's
she's going into everybody right now.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I think that'll smooth out, I hope. So now that
you mentioned it, though, it makes me think like they
really haven't done much with her yet. She has just
sort of yelled at people. Yeah, but one of the
things that you remembered from the trailer is you know
that she's going to be the catalyst that pulls the
whole team together. She's the one that says, you know,
let's go get Peacemaker or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Mm hmm. She says, let's go get Chris Chris.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, that's right. So I know they're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Be an emphasis on Christopher Smith unless on Peacemaker on
the whole. They even did a thing in the credits
where he's in Sibby's. Have you noticed that? No, Yeah,
that's the thing in the credits is like, at some
point the credits, he's not wearing the Peacemaker outfit anymore.
He's wearing like a button up in slacks.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Oh, yeah, you're right. I didn't think about that.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
My gunn had said at some point that there's more
of an emphasis on Christopher Smith rather than Peacemaker.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That is a good point. Did they do that last
year where he was he in Peacemaker the whole time?
Last year?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I think most of the time he was, Yeah, if
not all the time. I know he wasn't in the hospital, true.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I mean I only noticed in the just in the
background while we were recording. Now the vigilante is in
costume early on in the dance, because I just remembered
him in like the what he's even calling the Napoleon
Bonaparte outfit.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I know that's how he ends it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
That's a weird look that people are doing right now.
I don't fully understand it. It's something that I feel
like I avoided that when it was happening the first time,
or not even the first time the other time.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, I can't. I can't say about all that. I
don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Man, I go, you'd have to see it.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
But I don't know that they're doing that much whether
at the moment though, But my point was they'll I
think three and on that'll start to pick up pretty heavily.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, it feels like it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
They are kind of benching her a little bit though
up front right now. But you got a little somebody
and and all of that, and God, there's so much
backstory to give us about what the fuck is going
on with Peacemaker in the Door in a Holy Universe.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah. Now, I loved his conversation with Out of Bayo
where he was. She's like, why wouldn't you tell me that?
He's like, I don't know, I never thought about it.
You wouldn't think about a multi verse chamber. No, I
grew up with it. I mean yeah, yeah, like in
his like the Methodist thing, the Methodist thing is so good.
She's like, this is different than wacky Martian shit. Okay, yeah, yeah,
(17:29):
that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Now I did. It's something you know, that's an exposition
kind of moment. Also, I feel like the show was
using out of Bado to explain, Hey, by the way,
in the DCU, this is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Mm hmm. Maybe. I mean I assume yeah, And she's saying,
you know, call him up, tell him you've got it,
and let him take it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
No, it's mine.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, No, I kind of agree with him.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Not a chance in hell I would let them take that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, I wouldn't. Yeah. It reminded me of a bit
from Star Trek six where so Captain Sulu has them
pushing the slsre and someone says, someone says, so, oh,
she'll fly apart, sir, and he goes fly apart. Then, yeah,
it's like you might destroy the world. I'll destroy the world.
(18:20):
Then fuck you. I'm gonna have my fucking multiverse chamber.
You're gonna take that ship from me. I need a
place to put all my stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean, my thinking would be, Yeah, I guess I
just wouldn't. I wouldn't want to get too far from it. Right,
if you came at me, I'm gonna go inside.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah, close the door, that's right.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Even if you make it inside, I just gotta go
hit one of the doors inside.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right. That's like a ninety nine version of the fucking
place in the woods in the Nightmare before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh yeah, I mean just grab bro that never says hi, right, Hey,
naturally we did we talk about those little guys by
the way.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Last episode, what little guys.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
The little the things he's taken to the incinerator.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Oh, we didn't talk about No, we didn't talk about that.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Gun said that they're basically rats like that, He's that's
just vermin extermination for him. He's which is weird because
I didn't I didn't like he just sort of takes
it out and pops it in there and sets it
on fire. I don't know what to do with this scene,
but apparently it's just that, like that's just something that
appears in his home and he discards it. And Gun
(19:43):
also said that he has like three of the props
for those things just sitting on his desk at the time.
That was a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I guess that's funny, but.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's an odd choice for him to just have these
little dead rat looking things that just he pops into
the incinerator or once in a while.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. I like it, you know, because it it is
a mystery that doesn't need to be solved. But it's
it's so weird. It feels like it is from another dimension,
but it's also so mundane. It feels like it's you know,
uh relevant, you know, it's relatable. Yeah, yeah, so I
like that. I love the Eaglely slow motion walk by
(20:19):
the way, Oh the walk off. Yeah, what a badass,
I know, right, what.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
A great eagle.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I love that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Great fight scene they do. They do something great in
that scene too.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
One. They also give the Eagle a little bit of
acting with hardcore earlier in the episode, which is cool.
If we're gonna have a giant beloved you know, fan
favorite burden this thing, why not actually give it some scenes.
But in the fight scene, Eaglely gets like real human beats,
(20:52):
you know what I mean? Mm hmm, Like they have
moments where you see you zoom into Eaglely scoping out
what to do in the fight. It's not just animal
attacking everything at all. This right, this is a coordinated
effort by a clever, intelligent foe. I loved it, just
fucking loved that.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah that was great. Rick Flagg Senior, great opening with him.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, I hate him so much right now? Why, I mean,
the reasons I'm supposed to hate it because he's like
after my boy piece Baker, like I for all the
right reasons, I hate him. Ye mean, he's doing a
good job of being the heel for a couple episodes here.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I mean, I get it, though. I mean I'd be
pretty mad if somebody killed my kid.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I know, I know. It's just I know that he's
going to be used as the you know the thing
that Rex, the you know, the the growth Chris has
been working towards here, and that that hurts me a
little bit. Dude, watching him relive that scene, it's rough.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I did love that. Even Economists was like, okay, but
whatever you see in that file that was was the
orders of Amanda Waller.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He's begging off best he can as he goes to
get the fall.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Mm hmm. Man, so what else is there? Man? I
really enjoyed Adrian loving chopping the alternate peacemaker up ooh.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, that scene was probably my favorite.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He was, man, he was having fun.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The it's it's the it's the mixture of how how
much joy he's getting out of ripping apart the doppelganger
of his best friend.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
In front of his best friend, who is clearly actively
starting a PTSD moment. We're we're at the origin story
of a lot of trauma right now.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Who he's just laughing it up.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Has just said, like it fucks you up when you
look into the eye of yourself. Yeah. Yeah, like you
don't want to meet yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Man, And then he's got him later doing this the
slow mo. I love the whole scenes in SloMo by
the way. It makes it better, like the head falling away,
him having to grab it off the thing. Yeah, it's lovely.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
See. Oh I loved Adrian saying I'm not a pervert.
I don't quote unquote like sex.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, but I related to him too much there.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
He's he is meant to come out as a bizarro,
a bizarro take on sex in a way.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, but really specifically I related to him when he
was like, Okay, that's gross. He's like what he's like
she was she came out way way too soon after
that flash. She did not wash her hands. Yeah, oh yeah,
because I thought it was funny because I thought of
the same thing. I was like, whoa, she didn't even
wash her hands. Can't can't, can't hold that in. You
(23:59):
gotta just get on with the scene. You can't, you know,
pause to wash hands. It's like when people on the
phone they say, they don't say I love you or
buy or anything. They just hang up, which I've always hated.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, that's awful.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But uh but no, I liked the gun. Went back
for it, like No, this was the issue that Vigilani had.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Which makes sense. God's sitting there with like a bin
of cleaners that he clearly had at his house. M
he grabbed the stuff that he had normally it took
him four minutes to pack that. Yeah, he simply grabbed it. Yeah,
oh a sweet moment, economist. And out of Baio. I
(24:38):
did enjoy most of it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Is it or outa bio?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I think it's ads out of Baio? Any caller ADS
not ABS? Right?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
All right? I thought it was out of Baio for
a long time, and I think it's that. I think
I saw something that made me question that, and I've
been saying abdo since Yeah, it's auDA bio. Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Is that? Okay? I was I was gonna have to
just be wrong if I was wrong in that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, I think I've just I saw something and I
was like, oh I was wrong, I guess yeah, which, Yeah,
longtime listeners of this show, I know that that is
not uncommon between us, Like you spent six years saying
Kara and kara.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, and I still don't have it wrong. Yeah right
really I still have never pronounced weihra right in my
entire life, Moira. Yeah, that one. My throat refuses to
do it correctly.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
All right, yeah, yeah, I can see that. Uh, but
to be fair to us, we were covering shows that
couldn't figure out how to say racial ghoul.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yes, so true.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
It's like one minute oz Oli is going, uh, you know, rasul,
and then he's going rawsh okay, buddy, like all right,
just rein it in rowsy.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Old gotcha.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I heard so many pronunciations of that name between that
show and Gotham they got right freaking David maszoos going
like shut up yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And then there's just good old race, that old race, Yeah,
good old race, car Agle race like a driver we've
ever done so goulish motherfucker, let me tell you. Yeah
yeah yeah. Now, cute scene, wonderful acting from from uh
(26:37):
Steve Aggie, but the roofed up conversation there he has
talked about on so on all the podcasts I've heard, uh, well,
in the Peacemaker podcast in particular, he's talked a lot
about how much he got to really act this year,
and that was one of the conversations where I was
happy to see the happy to see that actually come
to life.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, No, I felt him on the I've had anxiety
my whole life thing.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Oh yeah, didn't you want to didn't want to hug him,
he did really well.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, I didn't want to hug him, but I felt
for him. You know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Actually it's a good point. I would want to hug
him a little bit, but he wouldn't want that. He
wouldn't want that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He also kind of looks like he hasn't showered in
a while. I kind of feel like he's been eating
like a lot of a lot of fast food. Inside
of that little van. He probably smells like a well
he did McDonald's. Yeah, yeah, probably smells like a toilet.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
He just got nuggets in the macafe. That's not too bad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
But you know how when you sit inside of a
small area, you just smell like fart. Yes, everything gets
with your yeah, and you got your your you know, well,
for me, it's going to be Taco Bell probably sure,
but uh, you know you have fast food, you know
that grease, the grease smell lingers.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Man, Yeah, I can't imagine you bring like fried fish
to a steak out.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
That's just not a good idea, right, if you can
even find a steak out A god, I haven't had
a steakout in forever. Miss those steak tips you know
they have.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't think I ever tried them. I think I
tried that one time and went I can never afford
this again, and yeah that was all for me, and
then I forgot they existed until pretty much now, Yeah,
fifteen years between those two moments, I think.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I don't I never watch I I don't feel like
I ever watch anything where they say steak out that.
I don't think of that burder or those steak tips
from steakout. So that's my own mental anchor, mental emotional anchor.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I just remember getting it in college delivered one time,
for the novelty of at the time being able to
get something like a meal like that delivered, because it
wasn't a pizza, you just food just didn't get delivered
in any real capacity that way. Yeah, I know, and
so so yeah, you were just it was there was
(29:01):
a it was just different to get like a steak
and potato delivered.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And by the way, we do have one downtown.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Probably and it probably tastes fine. It Just remember though,
I just said the word college. So once we had
spent our entire funds for food the entire month on
one novel experience with having someone bring us a piece
of cow. We we didn't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, it was. It's funny like for a long time,
like my mom and dad really liked to steak out
when I was growing up, but they could never really
afford it. So like for every Birthday, Christmas, whatever it was,
family members would just give them, yeah, gift certificates. And
it was funny. Like a couple of years ago, I
was hanging out with my mom and we were both hungry,
(29:46):
and she's like, oh, what do you want? I don't
really want to go anywhere, and she's like she's looking
around to go, oh my god, I've still got all
these steak out somebody's steak out gift certificates. They weren't
even gift cards, there were gift certificates. It's for Fox's sake,
and she called up and they're like, yeah, we'll take them.
So we just drove over to steak Out and got
(30:09):
all this food, and we did it like three or
four times, not that day, but not that day, but
over the course of a few weeks, we would just
hang out and go get steak out because she had
these she had all of these gift certificates nice and
I was a little scared. But then we went over
that side of the road or that side of the
of the of town, you know, and because it had
(30:31):
been a pretty rough side of town when I left,
but to much to my surprise, it was all gentrified now.
So I was like, okay, cool. I'm like I feel safe.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, I feel safe, but I have no money.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Why didn't I didn't have any money to begin with. Yeah,
I've got I've got the gift certificates from nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
It's like, I don't want to feel like I might robbed,
so instead I go to a place where I feel
safe and actively do leave with no money.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I have been robbed. Yeah, In fact, I want to
go to the place where people see me and go home.
Oh man, yeah, is this guy coming in he's about
a rob us but look at him and it's sucking
tattered flannel.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
You know what that's a that is. That is a
perfect segue to a last question for you. Sure because
we did leave, We did leave with him being an intruder.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Did you have any strong feelings about that? Hm?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Now we did.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
We need get a little like uh, there's a thing
at the end of this episode about like the trailer
for the next one, right.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Well, he's he's clearly like deeply drunk at the time.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah. I do like how they filmed the drunk with
the camera fuzzing in and out.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I did too. I liked hearing his dad talking about,
you know, the pills and a lot of disappearing more
than or maybe that was from the trailer. I don't
even know. I thought it was interesting though, like to
have so. I mean, obviously they would have concern because
you know, he's not gone away this soon or this
(32:08):
for this long before. No one knows where he is he's.
I mean, he clearly has his own problems in that
universe as well that have nothing to do with his
station in life or how much he's beloved by the public.
Like he clearly has or that version of him clearly
has problems.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, it's not a perfect life, like I mean, so
he does. He messages hardcore in there. And by the way,
I was so happy. I was so happy when that
text did not go through.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah you know what I mean, Yeah, because you know
exactly what it means.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Well, I just had he sent a text from one
universe to the other, I would have lost my goddamn
mind about how that worked. And then he does have
to go to the of the universe and then the
message it is deliverable for there was a moment where
I was like, get down, I was worried, and then
it pulled through. But yeah, like she sends a heartbreak emoji.
(33:07):
Things things went down.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
He the guy's a dick.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He had another guy in his in his in his office,
didn't bother asking him for an explanation, and then went
for a kill.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, and lost.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
By the way, maybe he's not even the best piecemaker. Nah.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I think that might be part of the part of
the arc though. Is Chris for realizing that guy wasn't
the best peacemaker?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, Well, and then you got also wonder now that
he knows and he does know for sure. And I
by the way, I love the line where out of
tells him like, yeah, you know, a guy inside said this,
and he's pretend I don't know who that is, mm hmm.
And that we even cut back to Economist kind of
licking his lips a little bit. But I don't know, man,
I don't know where that's gonna go with the Like
(33:53):
I like their scene, but I don't know exactly where
we're gonna go with with the next stage of that either, though.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Hmm. Yeah, I don't know. I'm guessing Economists is going
to wind up in some sort of conflict with a
flag how I'm reading it.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But I guess I just wonder how much he's gonna
want to hide there is like you gotta see the
walls closing in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Mm hmmm. He's got to Economists has got to do
something because he's just he's he's not going to be
safe in that job.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh he's not. And by the way, yeah, they throw
in a line where he kind of you know, that's
what he asked, how much do y'all party back here?
And you know, he's clearly flirting with the idea of
not being there.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Mm hmm, Yeah, I mean I took that to mean
with when he's talking to out a bio about all that.
I took that mean to mean he will have quit
by the season's end.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, I think so, and probably go start working with
her soon.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
That's what I would guess.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, I was surprised they weren't offering during this conversation.
Hey one pet peeve about this episode. No damn way
this group of people got that drunk off that many beers,
especially after smashing a couple of them.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Probably not. Yeah, and on top of that, it's a it's.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
A bud light, it's got like three point two percent
or some shit.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I also wouldn't put it past those people to have
had several before they got there.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yes, pregaming, I will allow all the well, Vigilante wouldn't.
But although he doesn't appear drunk at any point, so whatever.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I mean, they're pouring beer on him while he's in
his underwear, But he also just seems like the kind
of guy who would be doing that to get his attention.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I take Adrian for the kind of guy who drinks
two beers and then pretends to be more drunk than
he feels and verses a third and fourth beer for
the rest of the night.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
He does seem to be a lightweight as well.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yeah, yeah, true, but that was my other point. No
one hears a lightweight. And on top of that, some
of them are literally heavyweights. Steve is like six' five
or some. Shit NO i think he, SAID i think
he said somewhere he's. Six, anyway he's six on. Them
and you, Know peacemaker's not. Small it's just NOT i
just need more.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Beer in this, situation heightened bigness. Doesn't it doesn't mean
as much as you want it. To it, does like
people assume it. Does but you, know when LIKE i don't,
know there was a good several years WHERE i didn't
have any, alcohol but you, know come over to your
house one, night didn't have a lot to eat that,
DAY i got drunk pretty.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Quick oh, yeah it can. Happen BUT i, mean LIKE
i just it just but the actual like body mass
will make a.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Difference it makes a. Difference but if you're not used
to it is What i'm.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Saying oh for, sure but all these people here.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Are, YEAH i would, Assume but LIKE i, SAID i
think pregaming happened.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
That you, KNOW i actually haven't thought about this in all,
fairness in this like the day after his. Orgy, yeah
Like chris is probably just drinking off the. Hangover he
probably gets drunk real.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Quick, yeah and we don't know. What and look With,
chris we don't know what he did. Before he may
have had, drinks he may have snorted, something he may
have we don't know what he's.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Doing well on the bag he has for a rainy,
Day so let's presume that he has mostly been, blowless
maybe before that bag came off out of THE i,
mean he's got the, bag and that wasn't.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Well the way he was walking into that alternate, universe
he certainly seemed like the same way he did when
he walked in there the last. Time, yeah which was coach. Stupers, yeah,
yeah well, no, no, no that is.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
True, No and the in the coke bin. VERSION i
do appreciate this, Though and he in his coke bin
version of walking in, there he's not as. Stumbly he's
just got. This there is a thing that drugs do
to your face that's different than just alcohol in the
combination all. That so, like, yeah he does have a
more like catatonic look going through that, time and like this,
TIME i registered him as as more, stumbley like just
(37:53):
good old fashioned drunk. Stumbling hm, hmmm because the legs
be moving them, themselves you, know mm. HMM i did
see it as a. Promotion but also he is kind
of just drunk, tonight, yeah rather than last.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Night, also we're in a universe, where you, Know metropolis
Is New york And New jersey Is gotham and those
cities don't, exist so you, know alcohol and cocaine and
whatever else might do work a little better or something
in this.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Universe who.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Knows, Maybe, yeah it's all.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Pure Bud light's actually six point four percent beer, here
uh huh. H i have nothing against a bud light
normally it's a fine enough just hanging around. Beer i'm
just saying it can't get this many people that big dat, drunk.
RIGHT i don't want to sound like one of those.
Assholes oh my, god it's, water yeah, whatever, man if
you enjoyed, drinking.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah oh it's just it's just, pissed that's all it.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Is, yeah it's it's a. Beer if you're looking for a,
beer it's a perfectly palatable, beer and just enjoy the.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Beer.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Whatever i'll always remember my mom rolling her eyes WHEN
i SAID i like a good pomegranate and wheat. Ale
well sure that big beer man. Myself, YEAH i.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Do genuinely feel like there are moments where your mom
looks at your. GHOSTS i raised In.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Nancy well she she, yeah, Maybe but then Again i'd be, like,
WELL i, mean if you really want to split hairs,
Here i'd much rather have a bottle of vodka than
a pomegranate and wheat, aal you got some vodka or
(39:38):
tequila around?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Here oh, god that's hard. Liquor, yeah, yeah, YEAH i said.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
THAT i think that was ALL i had.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Though, man, YEAH i Think i'm. GOOD i, DON'T i.
DON'T i don't have much. ELSE i enjoyed the. EPISODE
i Expect i'll enjoy subsequent episodes more since you, know
those won't be things That i've seen in, trailers.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Right i've just straight up seen.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Less.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
YEAH i feel like we're really getting started with like
the new and we've got the setup and you, know
out of the. WAY i don't think there's any more
expedition exposition dumps that are required. Here.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Oh another one less exciting thing is we were promised
some Some poppins and you know we've gotten we've gotten
went out of the gate, here but like we've got
more to look forward.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
TO i THINK i read something like six and, eight
maybe episode six and eight. Something the gun said cool coo.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Cool so actually don't mind knowing which episode. Number that
kind of.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Helps, YEAH i can't remember exactly what he, said but
you know, what you know, What, jason we'll probably talk
about it on our news episode that we're gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Weekend we're gonna do one of Those, yeah, yeah do, it.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
LADY i can't get that chit character out of my.
Head it's just everywhere four. Thing he's also a little
like the WAY i do, him he's a little he's
a little closer To Bill Hayter's Keith morrison character Where i'm, like, oh.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Oh, no.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Well what'd you? Do then his body was in the.
Trunk oh, no.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
That's the kind of character that's it's best for me
not to try BECAUSE i accidentally.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Do sound like that sometimes was he still? Alive Like
i'll just end.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Up sounding like a very creepy version of.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Me uh. Huh you've heard hater Doing you've Heard hater
doing The Keith morrison where he's like he's referencing a
real episode Of dateline where he goes and then there
was THE. Dna oh That PASKY. Dna do you remember that? Line, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
That line stuck around for a while.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
If you haven't seen the video Of Bill hayter actually
going To, dateline to The dateline offices and watching them
edit an episode and talking, about, OH i remember this,
episode and he's like quoting it as they're playing stuff for.
Him it's. Insane but then he gets to Meet Keith
morrison and he is just absolutely beside. Himself this man
(42:20):
never acclimated to being a celebrity. Himself every TIME i
see him meeting another, celebrity he is just beside himself
like a small. Child it's. Great it's so. Wonderful have
you seen. That i'll send it to you if you.
Haven't it's so. Good it's like a twenty minute bit or.
Something it might be eight, MINUTES i don't, know but it's.
(42:43):
Good whether it is, Anyway we'll do the news this
week and this, weekend just a couple days a day
or two, something and you'll probably get It monday morning
at the. LATEST i imagine unless something really. Happens but
we love you out there for listening to, us and
we love you. Anyway mm, hmmm because we think you're.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Special, yeah but to be, fair you wouldn't know that
unless you listen to.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Us that's. Right so let's start doing something like Mister
rogers Where i'm just talking up the. AUDIENCE i, mean
instead of being like you motherfuckeruse you. Never you never message,
us you never tell. Them, no you found yourself listening
to this episode because you're.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Special, yeah, well even pull some money and get some
skyriding or something one. Day, yeah it's cheaper than you
think wasting money on. That what's funny is it actually
is cheaper than you. Think but like it's it's a
it's weirdly. AFFORDABLE i think last TIME i heard the
price on, that it's LIKE i think it was, like,
no you, seriously you can put a sign up there
(43:46):
for like less than a thousand.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
DOLLARS i didn't know, that all, Right and just hearing
you say, THAT i think you AND i need to
have a conference about what we consider.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Expensive, no it's just THAT i expected that to have
way more digits than it.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
DID i don't know Why i'm in for about thirty two. Bucks, yeah, yeah,
YEAH i think that's. IT i think that's ALL i.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Got, YEAH i just in my, HEAD i always thought
it was just a bigger venture to have a plane
do a banner THAT i could see from the beach behind.
You and THEN i, realized, no, no, no, no it
just doesn't cost that much to put that shitty little
banner on the back of.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Something, oh, well that's different than.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Skywriting well, True, YEAH i did say skyriding like proper
puffs of smoke in the. Air, yeah surely that's still.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Expensive, YEAH i MEAN i would assume it would be more.
Expensive the service of doing it would be more, expensive
but you'd probably have to pay for the banner, yourself
which would rack up a lot.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Of, cost which is also.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
True pretty stuff like, that the sky riding.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Itself now That i'm thinking about, it is that? Real
or is that a cartoon thing That i've never looked
into but isn't even?
Speaker 1 (44:51):
REAL i am looking it up BECAUSE i don't Have
by the, way, yes skyriding. Is it is an established
form of advertising event, messaging where pilots use aircraft to
write messages in the sky with.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Smoke cool, Yeah, NO i have seen. Smoke i've seen
blue angels.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Practicing, okay, okay, yeah But i've got to tell you,
before like WHEN i typed, in uh IS B I?
R and auto auto finished it for? Me is bird blindness?
Reel we weren't?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Alone, yeah what would you call?
Speaker 1 (45:38):
It? Orthognosia MAYBE i said all the things THAT i
read AND i don't know any more. Answers all, right
let's wrap it, up all right until next. Time keep
SOME dc on your, screen.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Keep some peacemaker on the.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
SCREEN i. Guess, yeah, man did we ever mix it?
Speaker 2 (46:03):
UP i can't remember if we ever mixed it up.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Anyway, bye
You were listening to DC on Screen. Welcome into DC
on Screen. I am your host, David C. Robertson. This
is my co host Jason Goss. Hello, and you know
what we're doing right now. We are talking about Peacemaker
two of two. A Man is only as Good as
his Bird.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
A title that spoiler alert will start to matter.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I enjoyed the episode. I had
to feel like I have much the same issue with
this episode as I did the last episode. I saw
a lot of the best bits in the trailer.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, definitely, like episode one and two, we're like episode one,
part one and two.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
This is the bit that we had to do most
of what we've seen. I feel like in these last
two episodes are establishing where we are right now, right
year two ish later. What I mean. I know the
one scene was eight months ago as it flashed, but
we're some time past. Yeah, but yeah, like a lot
(01:05):
of the service of this has been in telling us
what's been going on.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I do feel like at the end of this episode
we have now really gotten started on like season two
of Pieacemaker. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I feel like we're past most of the real
heavy trailer points anyway. He look, man, I love Tim Meadows. Sorry,
I was much My mind was so much more agile
when we started talking. Huh we meant to start talking
like three hours ago. Yeah. Sorry, well we did start talking,
(01:39):
and then we didn't record this, right. But so Tim
Meadows as Langston Flurry, he's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He is the most aggressively weird. He's actively unlikable.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You know what's funny. According to Gunn Chris Smith, Peacemaker
has become softer and less aggressive and season and Langston
is taking on the role of the total asshole, much
like Peacemaker was last season. He says, Langston he is
a very politically incorrect asshole throughout most of the season
and also an incredibly funny guy. And if you think
(02:14):
back to like who Peacemaker was in that season where
he's talking about butt babies and all sorts of weird,
fucked up, stupid shit.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay, and you're going like, this is where those jokes
are now?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I see, yeah, I think yeah. And once I saw
gun say that.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It makes sense.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I was like, oh, okay, yeah, let's see what you
did there, all right, he is.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
He's fun, but I really gotta I gotta have little
more time with him for to Phil he is, I
mean it, him talking right now feels like sandpaper rubbing
on my cheek. What what he's saying is so actively
odd in these conversations, I'm like Jesus Man, like, it's
it's triggering my like you know that when you sweated
(03:02):
the first time you watched the office kind of response.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, do we not have a word for that yet?
Do we not?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's been twenty years. Why do we not have been
a word?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Fanti comedy.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, but that's and that's not even quite what it is,
but it kind of but like there should be a
word for that sweaty reaction.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, I think it's I think that might be cringe humor, Like, yeah, yeah,
he's whatever, he's got it. Yeah, but it's Tim Meadows.
So like, I have not seen I have not I've
never seen a project that wasn't saved or at least
elevated greatly by the presence of Tim Meadows.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So, like when he comes in and he starts calling
fuck Economos ginger cool. Yeah, he's like, what the fuck? Yeah,
I did Economost goes I don't give a ship, and
he goes, of course, not, you're ginger cool.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, actually, I mean I thought I was really gonna
just dig him a lot more on that first line
where he says like, I don't have to do shit
for you, but I will because I'm polite. Like I
really loved the because I'm polite. That was That was wonderful.
And then after a few few other sentences them, oh man,
I do think I kind of want to punch this
(04:18):
guy though.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah. I mean he did make a good point when
he was like, I do shit because you can't fire
a weapon while it's holstered. Yeah, they're like, ah fuck, yeah, yeah,
you're right, You're right Langston Jesus. And but then you know,
like you said, like he he I don't know, he
gets into such a an awkward space where he's he's
(04:40):
talking about fucking bird blindness.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, I don't know how to take him yet. Like
all right, so you think the show is gonna let
him be cooler than he's supposed to be at certain times,
like when he's introduced himself to the economos and he's
he's like eating his chicken nugget, know, demanding which style
of physical to touch touch should I, you know, get
(05:04):
you with or whatever? All this is just real, over
the top alpha and you think the show is going
to be like this is okay, this character's cool and
you have to accept it. But then a couple seems later,
he's on the phone just getting an assitude out like
he's clearly a poser.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh definitely, yeah, definitely yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I didn't know what to do with him by the end,
I don't know how to take him. And then and
then we're gonna invent something called bird blindness. I feel
I feel like it is quite certainly not a real thing.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I did look it up.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Is it a real thing?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Okay, bird blindness is not a real thing. I think
I got it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Have changed a lot about how the world.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But there is a real condition, apparently called visual agnosia,
and it is divine. Cleveland Clinic defines it as a
condition that disrupts your brain's ability to process and understand
what you see with your eyes. And there are lots
of different types of visual agnosia, and two apparently come
the closest to explaining Flury's bird blindness. The first is formagnosia,
(06:08):
where you were able to see parts of an object
but can't recognize the object itself. So that might explain
how Flury knows a bird has wings and a beak,
but doesn't know what type of birds it is, bird
it is, or how small it is.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I really kept expecting him to say it, to say, like, oh,
see his feathers moving.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, But less likely though, he could have prosopagnosia, which
is a popularly known as face blindness. Yeah. Oh, and
they've done tests apparently people with face blindness. Also, it's
the same with animals.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean a little, but like there's a lot going
on in the brain where like humans recognize faces very
particularly like other animals can recognize our faces, but there's
a different and how other animals and we as animals
think about face right, So, like the face blindness thing
is just neurologically a little different than like I don't
know what a bird is. And the funniest part about
(07:11):
it is like it just makes it makes me still
wonder where we are in the show. I'm still trying
to figure out where how close I'm standing into the
fourth wall.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
With that bit, Yeah, because I felt the same.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because he's acting like he can't tell the different between
Hummingbird and big Bird, and he's standing next to him.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, I know the difference because I read it. Yeah,
I mean the delivery is really funny, and it's funny
that they're all being attacked by eagerly and he is
like shooting around wildly because he doesn't know where to shoot. Yes, yeah, yeah,
And of course the bit at the end reads like
I got attacked by fucking duck. The entire that.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Line was worth every discussion that had happened before it. Yeah,
I don't know what to make of how silly that
is yet, I guess it's pretty established it is, how
firm it is, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's pretty silly. It's a little too silly for me.
But also we're in a We're in a universe where
you know, Superman exists, so we're already in a certain era,
you know, arena that I'm just like, okay, you know, like,
and I appreciate that about Gun, that he's willing to
go like, well, there are these things. So if you're
(08:29):
looking at someone who I guess would be considered a
beta or something who desperately wants to be in alpha,
who is trying really the fuck hard I don't know.
Maybe maybe we get an answer somewhere that he's he
doesn't really have bird blindness, he's just a really bad
shot or you know, some some weird thing or maybe
(08:52):
like someone fucked with his head, like maybe makes you
spit look at something with his brain or something when
he was a kid. Who knows Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
don't know, Like it's just is a funny. I don't know,
whatever it is, it's Tim Badows and I'm I'm digging
it so far, even though I did feel like that
was a little close, a little close to not not
wanting that.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, that one fucks with you a little bit. Now
they but God, like the big the big winner of
the episode is that fucking like so as they're about
to break in, by the way, that was such a
weird conversation before, but as they're as they're about to
break in and everyone's away from the house, like, did
(09:36):
you also have a moment where as it you know,
as that scene's about to unfold, I kind of thought, oh, yeah,
the name of the episode, Uh huh, this is about
to get bad.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
No. I remembered the trailer and I was like, okay, well,
at some point this motherfucker's going to lose an eye
outside of the house.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh, I didn't even I didn't think about the trailer
yet at that point.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, that happened like right outside of the house at night.
It was one of those guys eyes.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Although although I did think about didn't you drop a
finger in the trailer at some point?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
He does? But I don't know. Yeah, I guess so.
I it doesn't matter that I saw in the trailer.
I still laugh when he goes titties. What's that third
name he gave that, that guy Qupie doll, Cupie.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I don't know if that's reference to anything.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't A QP doll is a thing? Is it
a thing? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Is that something my daughter's supposed to own? And I'm
a terrible parent?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Uh? They I don't know. It's just a little baby doll, man,
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Okay, so probably gotcha.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
No, I mean, I think they're like vintage and shit,
like I don't. I haven't seen a Kepie doll around,
but I don't look in those aisles. I'm too busy
looking at McFarlane. I sent you a picture of a
Keepie doll.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
By the way, Oh God, may it never enter my household.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Creepy looking, they're awful.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It, but yeah, I think there's a fair amount of
evidence to support, or there will be by the end
of this this podcast that I'm really just like the
Tim Meadows saved the whole thing for me. Yeah, I
just I love him so much. Like he's like that dude,
(11:18):
I laugh. I laught so hard. I'd seen it in
the clip too. It didn't matter when he's like that
motherfucker looks like he got he caught all the pokey man. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh, so they have a lovely bit after where again
I keep wondering how much the show is gonna make
me swallow about how weird he is.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
If season one is any indication a lot, I.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Will be choking on that by the end of I'm sure.
But the the the bit at the end where and
it's it seems like it's it that one almost seems
like a not so much improv tape but maybe an
on the on the day kind of take of thing.
But it's definitely different than what you see in the
episode because in the episode he just sort of turns
(12:04):
and blinks, and like you take away from that that
Economos is telling you, telling the audience he's a weirdo,
right m M getting my dick sucked by two high bitches,
I think or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And he the day you learned about the pokeing Man.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, but like later he's he tries to quiz, Okay,
what were their name? Blah blah blah, what were their
hair color?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's asking him more questions, finally gets down, like where
where it happened Portland, Oregon? Were they hot?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That one and that was a lot funnier where. By
the end of that conversation, Economost believes him, Yeah, fully
believes him.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I still I don't know what they're gonna get. I
don't know what he's going to put me through with
this character. Yet I'm curious about it. Yeah, I don't scared,
not scared. I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I mean he's just you know, his underlings. Cup Doll
woke him up from getting attacked by Eagerly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I don't know how q P Doll wasn't more damaged.
I thought all of them were were way more damaged.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, I mean I think Titty has got her maybe dead.
Titts is dead. I think can't tell you got her
jugular ripped out. I think I couldn't tell.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They kind of made it sound like we had to
getybody in the hospital, and they didn't really give Titties
a death scene. So I don't know what we're doing
with her yet. I don't know what the plant is.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, I don't know. Titties might have survived. There's a chance,
even into the line of fire like that with all
the action going on, him just screaming Titties.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, absolutely killed me. I think the name it would
have been a funny joke, just to name everybody all
at once and not worry about it. But I think
I think it stuck really after he just exclaims worried too.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, I love this reasoning, Like, how else am I
gonna remember all of you? Like, yeah, their names, Man,
I don't know. This dude's just so weird.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think they're they're going a little hard on on
whr hardcourt being so mean?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, just a little. I think they'll be done with
it after probably the third episode of Guessing.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, I mean there, well, they're so she's so mean,
and maybe maybe it makes sense, like if it were
anybody else who didn't have that level of trauma as
a kid with a hateful asshole as a father who
you were always seeking approval from, right, right, But Peacemaker
is that guy, so I guess it makes sense that
he keeps trying to be there for her even though
(14:37):
she's terrible.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Right of course. Well, and they've shared something that we're
gonna find out about later.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, but that water finds its own level. Shit, damn
it that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That that that was brutal. Yeah, she's she's going, She's
she's going into everybody right now.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I think that'll smooth out, I hope. So now that
you mentioned it, though, it makes me think like they
really haven't done much with her yet. She has just
sort of yelled at people. Yeah, but one of the
things that you remembered from the trailer is you know
that she's going to be the catalyst that pulls the
whole team together. She's the one that says, you know,
let's go get Peacemaker or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Mm hmm. She says, let's go get Chris Chris.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, that's right. So I know they're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Be an emphasis on Christopher Smith unless on Peacemaker on
the whole. They even did a thing in the credits
where he's in Sibby's. Have you noticed that? No, Yeah,
that's the thing in the credits is like, at some
point the credits, he's not wearing the Peacemaker outfit anymore.
He's wearing like a button up in slacks.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Oh, yeah, you're right. I didn't think about that.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
My gunn had said at some point that there's more
of an emphasis on Christopher Smith rather than Peacemaker.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That is a good point. Did they do that last
year where he was he in Peacemaker the whole time?
Last year?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I think most of the time he was, Yeah, if
not all the time. I know he wasn't in the hospital, true.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I mean I only noticed in the just in the
background while we were recording. Now the vigilante is in
costume early on in the dance, because I just remembered
him in like the what he's even calling the Napoleon
Bonaparte outfit.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I know that's how he ends it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
That's a weird look that people are doing right now.
I don't fully understand it. It's something that I feel
like I avoided that when it was happening the first time,
or not even the first time the other time.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, I can't. I can't say about all that. I
don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Man, I go, you'd have to see it.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
But I don't know that they're doing that much whether
at the moment though, But my point was they'll I
think three and on that'll start to pick up pretty heavily.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, it feels like it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
They are kind of benching her a little bit though
up front right now. But you got a little somebody
and and all of that, and God, there's so much
backstory to give us about what the fuck is going
on with Peacemaker in the Door in a Holy Universe.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah. Now, I loved his conversation with Out of Bayo
where he was. She's like, why wouldn't you tell me that?
He's like, I don't know, I never thought about it.
You wouldn't think about a multi verse chamber. No, I
grew up with it. I mean yeah, yeah, like in
his like the Methodist thing, the Methodist thing is so good.
She's like, this is different than wacky Martian shit. Okay, yeah, yeah,
(17:29):
that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Now I did. It's something you know, that's an exposition
kind of moment. Also, I feel like the show was
using out of Bado to explain, Hey, by the way,
in the DCU, this is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Mm hmm. Maybe. I mean I assume yeah, And she's saying,
you know, call him up, tell him you've got it,
and let him take it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
No, it's mine.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, No, I kind of agree with him.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Not a chance in hell I would let them take that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, I wouldn't. Yeah. It reminded me of a bit
from Star Trek six where so Captain Sulu has them
pushing the slsre and someone says, someone says, so, oh,
she'll fly apart, sir, and he goes fly apart. Then, yeah,
it's like you might destroy the world. I'll destroy the world.
(18:20):
Then fuck you. I'm gonna have my fucking multiverse chamber.
You're gonna take that ship from me. I need a
place to put all my stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean, my thinking would be, Yeah, I guess I
just wouldn't. I wouldn't want to get too far from it. Right,
if you came at me, I'm gonna go inside.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah, close the door, that's right.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Even if you make it inside, I just gotta go
hit one of the doors inside.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right. That's like a ninety nine version of the fucking
place in the woods in the Nightmare before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh yeah, I mean just grab bro that never says hi, right, Hey,
naturally we did we talk about those little guys by
the way.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Last episode, what little guys.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
The little the things he's taken to the incinerator.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Oh, we didn't talk about No, we didn't talk about that.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Gun said that they're basically rats like that, He's that's
just vermin extermination for him. He's which is weird because
I didn't I didn't like he just sort of takes
it out and pops it in there and sets it
on fire. I don't know what to do with this scene,
but apparently it's just that, like that's just something that
appears in his home and he discards it. And Gun
(19:43):
also said that he has like three of the props
for those things just sitting on his desk at the time.
That was a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I guess that's funny, but.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's an odd choice for him to just have these
little dead rat looking things that just he pops into
the incinerator or once in a while.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. I like it, you know, because it it is
a mystery that doesn't need to be solved. But it's
it's so weird. It feels like it is from another dimension,
but it's also so mundane. It feels like it's you know,
uh relevant, you know, it's relatable. Yeah, yeah, so I
like that. I love the Eaglely slow motion walk by
(20:19):
the way, Oh the walk off. Yeah, what a badass,
I know, right, what.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
A great eagle.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I love that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Great fight scene they do. They do something great in
that scene too.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
One. They also give the Eagle a little bit of
acting with hardcore earlier in the episode, which is cool.
If we're gonna have a giant beloved you know, fan
favorite burden this thing, why not actually give it some scenes.
But in the fight scene, Eaglely gets like real human beats,
(20:52):
you know what I mean? Mm hmm, Like they have
moments where you see you zoom into Eaglely scoping out
what to do in the fight. It's not just animal
attacking everything at all. This right, this is a coordinated
effort by a clever, intelligent foe. I loved it, just
fucking loved that.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah that was great. Rick Flagg Senior, great opening with him.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, I hate him so much right now? Why, I mean,
the reasons I'm supposed to hate it because he's like
after my boy piece Baker, like I for all the
right reasons, I hate him. Ye mean, he's doing a
good job of being the heel for a couple episodes here.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I mean, I get it, though. I mean I'd be
pretty mad if somebody killed my kid.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I know, I know. It's just I know that he's
going to be used as the you know the thing
that Rex, the you know, the the growth Chris has
been working towards here, and that that hurts me a
little bit. Dude, watching him relive that scene, it's rough.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I did love that. Even Economists was like, okay, but
whatever you see in that file that was was the
orders of Amanda Waller.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He's begging off best he can as he goes to
get the fall.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Mm hmm. Man, so what else is there? Man? I
really enjoyed Adrian loving chopping the alternate peacemaker up ooh.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, that scene was probably my favorite.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He was, man, he was having fun.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The it's it's the it's the mixture of how how
much joy he's getting out of ripping apart the doppelganger
of his best friend.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
In front of his best friend, who is clearly actively
starting a PTSD moment. We're we're at the origin story
of a lot of trauma right now.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Who he's just laughing it up.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Has just said, like it fucks you up when you
look into the eye of yourself. Yeah. Yeah, like you
don't want to meet yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Man, And then he's got him later doing this the
slow mo. I love the whole scenes in SloMo by
the way. It makes it better, like the head falling away,
him having to grab it off the thing. Yeah, it's lovely.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
See. Oh I loved Adrian saying I'm not a pervert.
I don't quote unquote like sex.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, but I related to him too much there.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
He's he is meant to come out as a bizarro,
a bizarro take on sex in a way.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, but really specifically I related to him when he
was like, Okay, that's gross. He's like what he's like
she was she came out way way too soon after
that flash. She did not wash her hands. Yeah, oh yeah,
because I thought it was funny because I thought of
the same thing. I was like, whoa, she didn't even
wash her hands. Can't can't, can't hold that in. You
(23:59):
gotta just get on with the scene. You can't, you know,
pause to wash hands. It's like when people on the
phone they say, they don't say I love you or
buy or anything. They just hang up, which I've always hated.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, that's awful.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But uh but no, I liked the gun. Went back
for it, like No, this was the issue that Vigilani had.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Which makes sense. God's sitting there with like a bin
of cleaners that he clearly had at his house. M
he grabbed the stuff that he had normally it took
him four minutes to pack that. Yeah, he simply grabbed it. Yeah,
oh a sweet moment, economist. And out of Baio. I
(24:38):
did enjoy most of it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Is it or outa bio?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I think it's ads out of Baio? Any caller ADS
not ABS? Right?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
All right? I thought it was out of Baio for
a long time, and I think it's that. I think
I saw something that made me question that, and I've
been saying abdo since Yeah, it's auDA bio. Okay?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Is that? Okay? I was I was gonna have to
just be wrong if I was wrong in that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, I think I've just I saw something and I
was like, oh I was wrong, I guess yeah, which, Yeah,
longtime listeners of this show, I know that that is
not uncommon between us, Like you spent six years saying
Kara and kara.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, and I still don't have it wrong. Yeah right
really I still have never pronounced weihra right in my
entire life, Moira. Yeah, that one. My throat refuses to
do it correctly.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
All right, yeah, yeah, I can see that. Uh, but
to be fair to us, we were covering shows that
couldn't figure out how to say racial ghoul.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yes, so true.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
It's like one minute oz Oli is going, uh, you know, rasul,
and then he's going rawsh okay, buddy, like all right,
just rein it in rowsy.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Old gotcha.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I heard so many pronunciations of that name between that
show and Gotham they got right freaking David maszoos going
like shut up yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And then there's just good old race, that old race, Yeah,
good old race, car Agle race like a driver we've
ever done so goulish motherfucker, let me tell you. Yeah
yeah yeah. Now, cute scene, wonderful acting from from uh
(26:37):
Steve Aggie, but the roofed up conversation there he has
talked about on so on all the podcasts I've heard, uh, well,
in the Peacemaker podcast in particular, he's talked a lot
about how much he got to really act this year,
and that was one of the conversations where I was
happy to see the happy to see that actually come
to life.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, No, I felt him on the I've had anxiety
my whole life thing.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Oh yeah, didn't you want to didn't want to hug him,
he did really well.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, I didn't want to hug him, but I felt
for him. You know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Actually it's a good point. I would want to hug
him a little bit, but he wouldn't want that. He
wouldn't want that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He also kind of looks like he hasn't showered in
a while. I kind of feel like he's been eating
like a lot of a lot of fast food. Inside
of that little van. He probably smells like a well
he did McDonald's. Yeah, yeah, probably smells like a toilet.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
He just got nuggets in the macafe. That's not too bad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
But you know how when you sit inside of a
small area, you just smell like fart. Yes, everything gets
with your yeah, and you got your your you know, well,
for me, it's going to be Taco Bell probably sure,
but uh, you know you have fast food, you know
that grease, the grease smell lingers.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Man, Yeah, I can't imagine you bring like fried fish
to a steak out.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
That's just not a good idea, right, if you can
even find a steak out A god, I haven't had
a steakout in forever. Miss those steak tips you know
they have.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't think I ever tried them. I think I
tried that one time and went I can never afford
this again, and yeah that was all for me, and
then I forgot they existed until pretty much now, Yeah,
fifteen years between those two moments, I think.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I don't I never watch I I don't feel like
I ever watch anything where they say steak out that.
I don't think of that burder or those steak tips
from steakout. So that's my own mental anchor, mental emotional anchor.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I just remember getting it in college delivered one time,
for the novelty of at the time being able to
get something like a meal like that delivered, because it
wasn't a pizza, you just food just didn't get delivered
in any real capacity that way. Yeah, I know, and
so so yeah, you were just it was there was
(29:01):
a it was just different to get like a steak
and potato delivered.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And by the way, we do have one downtown.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Probably and it probably tastes fine. It Just remember though,
I just said the word college. So once we had
spent our entire funds for food the entire month on
one novel experience with having someone bring us a piece
of cow. We we didn't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, it was. It's funny like for a long time,
like my mom and dad really liked to steak out
when I was growing up, but they could never really
afford it. So like for every Birthday, Christmas, whatever it was,
family members would just give them, yeah, gift certificates. And
it was funny. Like a couple of years ago, I
was hanging out with my mom and we were both hungry,
(29:46):
and she's like, oh, what do you want? I don't
really want to go anywhere, and she's like she's looking
around to go, oh my god, I've still got all
these steak out somebody's steak out gift certificates. They weren't
even gift cards, there were gift certificates. It's for Fox's sake,
and she called up and they're like, yeah, we'll take them.
So we just drove over to steak Out and got
(30:09):
all this food, and we did it like three or
four times, not that day, but not that day, but
over the course of a few weeks, we would just
hang out and go get steak out because she had
these she had all of these gift certificates nice and
I was a little scared. But then we went over
that side of the road or that side of the
of the of town, you know, and because it had
(30:31):
been a pretty rough side of town when I left,
but to much to my surprise, it was all gentrified now.
So I was like, okay, cool. I'm like I feel safe.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, I feel safe, but I have no money.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Why didn't I didn't have any money to begin with. Yeah,
I've got I've got the gift certificates from nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
It's like, I don't want to feel like I might robbed,
so instead I go to a place where I feel
safe and actively do leave with no money.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I have been robbed. Yeah, In fact, I want to
go to the place where people see me and go home.
Oh man, yeah, is this guy coming in he's about
a rob us but look at him and it's sucking
tattered flannel.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
You know what that's a that is. That is a
perfect segue to a last question for you. Sure because
we did leave, We did leave with him being an intruder.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Did you have any strong feelings about that? Hm?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Now we did.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
We need get a little like uh, there's a thing
at the end of this episode about like the trailer
for the next one, right.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Well, he's he's clearly like deeply drunk at the time.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah. I do like how they filmed the drunk with
the camera fuzzing in and out.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I did too. I liked hearing his dad talking about,
you know, the pills and a lot of disappearing more
than or maybe that was from the trailer. I don't
even know. I thought it was interesting though, like to
have so. I mean, obviously they would have concern because
you know, he's not gone away this soon or this
(32:08):
for this long before. No one knows where he is he's.
I mean, he clearly has his own problems in that
universe as well that have nothing to do with his
station in life or how much he's beloved by the public.
Like he clearly has or that version of him clearly
has problems.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, it's not a perfect life, like I mean, so
he does. He messages hardcore in there. And by the way,
I was so happy. I was so happy when that
text did not go through.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah you know what I mean, Yeah, because you know
exactly what it means.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Well, I just had he sent a text from one
universe to the other, I would have lost my goddamn
mind about how that worked. And then he does have
to go to the of the universe and then the
message it is deliverable for there was a moment where
I was like, get down, I was worried, and then
it pulled through. But yeah, like she sends a heartbreak emoji.
(33:07):
Things things went down.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
He the guy's a dick.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He had another guy in his in his in his office,
didn't bother asking him for an explanation, and then went
for a kill.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, and lost.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
By the way, maybe he's not even the best piecemaker. Nah.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I think that might be part of the part of
the arc though. Is Chris for realizing that guy wasn't
the best peacemaker?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, Well, and then you got also wonder now that
he knows and he does know for sure. And I
by the way, I love the line where out of
tells him like, yeah, you know, a guy inside said this,
and he's pretend I don't know who that is, mm hmm.
And that we even cut back to Economist kind of
licking his lips a little bit. But I don't know, man,
I don't know where that's gonna go with the Like
(33:53):
I like their scene, but I don't know exactly where
we're gonna go with with the next stage of that either, though.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Hmm. Yeah, I don't know. I'm guessing Economists is going
to wind up in some sort of conflict with a
flag how I'm reading it.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
But I guess I just wonder how much he's gonna
want to hide there is like you gotta see the
walls closing in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Mm hmmm. He's got to Economists has got to do
something because he's just he's he's not going to be
safe in that job.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh he's not. And by the way, yeah, they throw
in a line where he kind of you know, that's
what he asked, how much do y'all party back here?
And you know, he's clearly flirting with the idea of
not being there.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Mm hmm, Yeah, I mean I took that to mean
with when he's talking to out a bio about all that.
I took that mean to mean he will have quit
by the season's end.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, I think so, and probably go start working with
her soon.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
That's what I would guess.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, I was surprised they weren't offering during this conversation.
Hey one pet peeve about this episode. No damn way
this group of people got that drunk off that many beers,
especially after smashing a couple of them.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Probably not. Yeah, and on top of that, it's a it's.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
A bud light, it's got like three point two percent
or some shit.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I also wouldn't put it past those people to have
had several before they got there.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yes, pregaming, I will allow all the well, Vigilante wouldn't.
But although he doesn't appear drunk at any point, so whatever.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I mean, they're pouring beer on him while he's in
his underwear, But he also just seems like the kind
of guy who would be doing that to get his attention.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I take Adrian for the kind of guy who drinks
two beers and then pretends to be more drunk than
he feels and verses a third and fourth beer for
the rest of the night.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
He does seem to be a lightweight as well.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yeah, yeah, true, but that was my other point. No
one hears a lightweight. And on top of that, some
of them are literally heavyweights. Steve is like six' five
or some. Shit NO i think he, SAID i think
he said somewhere he's. Six, anyway he's six on. Them
and you, Know peacemaker's not. Small it's just NOT i
just need more.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Beer in this, situation heightened bigness. Doesn't it doesn't mean
as much as you want it. To it, does like
people assume it. Does but you, know when LIKE i don't,
know there was a good several years WHERE i didn't
have any, alcohol but you, know come over to your
house one, night didn't have a lot to eat that,
DAY i got drunk pretty.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Quick oh, yeah it can. Happen BUT i, mean LIKE
i just it just but the actual like body mass
will make a.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Difference it makes a. Difference but if you're not used
to it is What i'm.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Saying oh for, sure but all these people here.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Are, YEAH i would, Assume but LIKE i, SAID i
think pregaming happened.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
That you, KNOW i actually haven't thought about this in all,
fairness in this like the day after his. Orgy, yeah
Like chris is probably just drinking off the. Hangover he
probably gets drunk real.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Quick, yeah and we don't know. What and look With,
chris we don't know what he did. Before he may
have had, drinks he may have snorted, something he may
have we don't know what he's.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Doing well on the bag he has for a rainy,
Day so let's presume that he has mostly been, blowless
maybe before that bag came off out of THE i,
mean he's got the, bag and that wasn't.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Well the way he was walking into that alternate, universe
he certainly seemed like the same way he did when
he walked in there the last. Time, yeah which was coach. Stupers, yeah,
yeah well, no, no, no that is.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
True, No and the in the coke bin. VERSION i
do appreciate this, Though and he in his coke bin
version of walking in, there he's not as. Stumbly he's
just got. This there is a thing that drugs do
to your face that's different than just alcohol in the
combination all. That so, like, yeah he does have a
more like catatonic look going through that, time and like this,
TIME i registered him as as more, stumbley like just
(37:53):
good old fashioned drunk. Stumbling hm, hmmm because the legs
be moving them, themselves you, know mm. HMM i did
see it as a. Promotion but also he is kind
of just drunk, tonight, yeah rather than last.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Night, also we're in a universe, where you, Know metropolis
Is New york And New jersey Is gotham and those
cities don't, exist so you, know alcohol and cocaine and
whatever else might do work a little better or something
in this.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Universe who.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Knows, Maybe, yeah it's all.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Pure Bud light's actually six point four percent beer, here
uh huh. H i have nothing against a bud light
normally it's a fine enough just hanging around. Beer i'm
just saying it can't get this many people that big dat, drunk.
RIGHT i don't want to sound like one of those.
Assholes oh my, god it's, water yeah, whatever, man if
you enjoyed, drinking.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah oh it's just it's just, pissed that's all it.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Is, yeah it's it's a. Beer if you're looking for a,
beer it's a perfectly palatable, beer and just enjoy the.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Beer.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Whatever i'll always remember my mom rolling her eyes WHEN
i SAID i like a good pomegranate and wheat. Ale
well sure that big beer man. Myself, YEAH i.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Do genuinely feel like there are moments where your mom
looks at your. GHOSTS i raised In.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Nancy well she she, yeah, Maybe but then Again i'd be, like,
WELL i, mean if you really want to split hairs,
Here i'd much rather have a bottle of vodka than
a pomegranate and wheat, aal you got some vodka or
(39:38):
tequila around?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Here oh, god that's hard. Liquor, yeah, yeah, YEAH i said.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
THAT i think that was ALL i had.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Though, man, YEAH i Think i'm. GOOD i, DON'T i.
DON'T i don't have much. ELSE i enjoyed the. EPISODE
i Expect i'll enjoy subsequent episodes more since you, know
those won't be things That i've seen in, trailers.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Right i've just straight up seen.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Less.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
YEAH i feel like we're really getting started with like
the new and we've got the setup and you, know
out of the. WAY i don't think there's any more
expedition exposition dumps that are required. Here.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Oh another one less exciting thing is we were promised
some Some poppins and you know we've gotten we've gotten
went out of the gate, here but like we've got
more to look forward.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
TO i THINK i read something like six and, eight
maybe episode six and eight. Something the gun said cool coo.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Cool so actually don't mind knowing which episode. Number that
kind of.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Helps, YEAH i can't remember exactly what he, said but
you know, what you know, What, jason we'll probably talk
about it on our news episode that we're gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Weekend we're gonna do one of Those, yeah, yeah do, it.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
LADY i can't get that chit character out of my.
Head it's just everywhere four. Thing he's also a little
like the WAY i do, him he's a little he's
a little closer To Bill Hayter's Keith morrison character Where i'm, like, oh.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Oh, no.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Well what'd you? Do then his body was in the.
Trunk oh, no.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
That's the kind of character that's it's best for me
not to try BECAUSE i accidentally.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Do sound like that sometimes was he still? Alive Like
i'll just end.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Up sounding like a very creepy version of.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Me uh. Huh you've heard hater Doing you've Heard hater
doing The Keith morrison where he's like he's referencing a
real episode Of dateline where he goes and then there
was THE. Dna oh That PASKY. Dna do you remember that? Line, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
That line stuck around for a while.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
If you haven't seen the video Of Bill hayter actually
going To, dateline to The dateline offices and watching them
edit an episode and talking, about, OH i remember this,
episode and he's like quoting it as they're playing stuff for.
Him it's. Insane but then he gets to Meet Keith
morrison and he is just absolutely beside. Himself this man
(42:20):
never acclimated to being a celebrity. Himself every TIME i
see him meeting another, celebrity he is just beside himself
like a small. Child it's. Great it's so. Wonderful have
you seen. That i'll send it to you if you.
Haven't it's so. Good it's like a twenty minute bit or.
Something it might be eight, MINUTES i don't, know but it's.
(42:43):
Good whether it is, Anyway we'll do the news this
week and this, weekend just a couple days a day
or two, something and you'll probably get It monday morning
at the. LATEST i imagine unless something really. Happens but
we love you out there for listening to, us and
we love you. Anyway mm, hmmm because we think you're.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Special, yeah but to be, fair you wouldn't know that
unless you listen to.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Us that's. Right so let's start doing something like Mister
rogers Where i'm just talking up the. AUDIENCE i, mean
instead of being like you motherfuckeruse you. Never you never message,
us you never tell. Them, no you found yourself listening
to this episode because you're.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Special, yeah, well even pull some money and get some
skyriding or something one. Day, yeah it's cheaper than you
think wasting money on. That what's funny is it actually
is cheaper than you. Think but like it's it's a
it's weirdly. AFFORDABLE i think last TIME i heard the
price on, that it's LIKE i think it was, like,
no you, seriously you can put a sign up there
(43:46):
for like less than a thousand.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
DOLLARS i didn't know, that all, Right and just hearing
you say, THAT i think you AND i need to
have a conference about what we consider.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Expensive, no it's just THAT i expected that to have
way more digits than it.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
DID i don't know Why i'm in for about thirty two. Bucks, yeah, yeah,
YEAH i think that's. IT i think that's ALL i.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Got, YEAH i just in my, HEAD i always thought
it was just a bigger venture to have a plane
do a banner THAT i could see from the beach behind.
You and THEN i, realized, no, no, no, no it
just doesn't cost that much to put that shitty little
banner on the back of.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Something, oh, well that's different than.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Skywriting well, True, YEAH i did say skyriding like proper
puffs of smoke in the. Air, yeah surely that's still.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Expensive, YEAH i MEAN i would assume it would be more.
Expensive the service of doing it would be more, expensive
but you'd probably have to pay for the banner, yourself
which would rack up a lot.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Of, cost which is also.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
True pretty stuff like, that the sky riding.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Itself now That i'm thinking about, it is that? Real
or is that a cartoon thing That i've never looked
into but isn't even?
Speaker 1 (44:51):
REAL i am looking it up BECAUSE i don't Have
by the, way, yes skyriding. Is it is an established
form of advertising event, messaging where pilots use aircraft to
write messages in the sky with.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Smoke cool, Yeah, NO i have seen. Smoke i've seen
blue angels.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Practicing, okay, okay, yeah But i've got to tell you,
before like WHEN i typed, in uh IS B I?
R and auto auto finished it for? Me is bird blindness?
Reel we weren't?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Alone, yeah what would you call?
Speaker 1 (45:38):
It? Orthognosia MAYBE i said all the things THAT i
read AND i don't know any more. Answers all, right
let's wrap it, up all right until next. Time keep
SOME dc on your, screen.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Keep some peacemaker on the.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
SCREEN i. Guess, yeah, man did we ever mix it?
Speaker 2 (46:03):
