Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, it's Heather. Welcome back to entertain me. This week,
we have a really fun show. Andy Reesemeyer is joining
Gary on The Gary and Shannon Show for the weekly
Entertainment Report, and we aren't going to be talking about,
of course, all things box office, the new movies that
are becoming out this weekend, but we're also going to
be talking about the Primetime Emmy Awards. They're happening on
(00:23):
Sunday at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. I'm going
to be there. I'm going to be bringing you all
of the fun from the red carpet. So I hope
you'll follow along on our social media at KFIAM six
forty on Instagram and Facebook, and then you can also
follow me at the Heather Brooker on Instagram and TikTok
as well for some of the behind the scenes highlights.
I'm going to be of course looking for, you know,
(00:44):
fun fashion moments and like interesting stories to share with you,
but also trying to talk to some of my favorite actors,
people who I enjoy watching on some of my favorite
TV shows. And I sat down with Gary and Andy
this week to talk about what we think might win.
What we are most excited about for the Emmys, and
I think we all agree comedian Nate Bargetzi is going
(01:07):
to be a great host this year. We're really looking
forward to what he's going to bring to the show
and it should be a really good time. But first
things first, we got to talk about what's happening at
the box office this weekend. Downton Abbey is finally here.
I'm going to share my review with you on Gary
and Shannon, or should I say this week only Gary
and Andy.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Andy Reestmeyer has joined us in for Shannon today, and
Heather Brooker has joined us to talk about some entertainment
stuff that's going on. Let's let's just get the you know,
elephant in the room?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Is that the dow What did you call me?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
No, no, Wow. I will jump over this table and
knock you out.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
The Downton Abbey Grand Finale.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I know you've been dying for this a movie. It's
a movie. It's the movie, the Grand Finale.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And everybody was clamoring for this.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Everyone clamoring is an understatement. Let me just tell you, okay,
I first of all have to say I've been up
since two in the morning. We're here on KFI news.
Uh so, I don't know what might happen today, but
let's get crazy. This sounds like.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I literally, I'm actually I was gonna go home, but
then I heard and I was like, I gotta stay here.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
They watched the drama unfold. Speaking of drama, down Ton Abbey,
the Grand Finale is low stakes drama with high fashion,
and it is everything that we wanted in the beautiful
conclusion to the Crawley family story. I went to a
special screening where they brought out Alan Leech, who plays
(02:32):
Tom the Driver. Everyone went crazy for it. Everyone's crying
in the theater. No spoilers, everybody, but if you're a
fan of the series, if you've enjoyed the movies, you will,
I'm fairly certain enjoy the way this sort of wraps
everybody up.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Does it? Again?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not to spoil too much, but at the end, does
it turn out that Bob Newhart was dreaming the whole
Everyone dies?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Everyone dies.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I'm, for one, just sad that the Queen didn't live
long enough to see this.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Because it, don't you think could you imagine her just
sitting with her little cup of tea and all her
core gies watching the Crawley, Famiurbon whatever, he's a gin lady.
That's true. Well, I know you're gonna go see it, Gary,
so you're going to cry in the theater like everybody else.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
If I'm going to cry on the weight of the theater,
because if someone forces me to go watch that movie,
I will be in tears.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Well go and see it. It's really good. Or maybe
just wait till it comes out on streaming in like
probably a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Wait.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Spinal tap.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Spinal tap is okay, Now this is exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
This one goes to eleven. All right. I have been
watching the trailer over and over again. I cannot believe
they've got all the original cast members back together. Believe
still're still alive. Michael McCann, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, and
of course Rob Briner is still there. The originally Remember
was a mockumentary style film, very Christopher Guest style film,
(04:01):
which you know, I love all of those kinds of
movies where they've seemed very improvised in the moment, you know.
And they're back. They're going on more rock bandy adventures.
This British rock band. It's fun, it's silly, even the
titles Spinal Tap to the end continues.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Which is Goofy Dalton Abbey, the Grand Finale.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Just two very different genres, two different genres, but it's good.
It's good.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I am excited for that, just because I remember that
was such a moment. It's when the first time I
saw Spinal Tap, and then the subsequent ninety nine times
that I saw, of course, just absolutely iconic for us.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
HI rewatchability, and I think if you're a fan of
the original one, you will definitely enjoy this one as well.
It's a it's you know, fun down memory lane and
watching the guys who are clearly older just have a
good time.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Forty one years later, is that right? Yes, I'm surprised
that it took them this long to do a sequel, yeah,
or do another one.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean, I think maybe they have anything else to.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Do also, maybe, you know, I think part of it
is that it's you couldn't do it five years later,
ten years It was so unique that trying to do
it right away might have been too I mean there's
not enough of a of a gap.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, I mean I remember as a kid seeing it,
not understanding what parody was, Like I didn't even.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Thought they were real.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I just well, I couldn't wrap my head around. I
mean I probably was like five years old, yeah, you know,
but I truly couldn't understand like what I was seeing.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
And I think.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Once you get it and you unlocked that world of sarcasm,
that's right snark and it was beautiful, Yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Coming back, so that one you're going to see.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I will see that. When we come back. We'll talk
about Emmy's They're coming up this weekend here in LA.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
We'll talk about who we can expect to see, including
the host all that sort of including uh, Heather Brooker
and Disdain joined Andy and me right and and me.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
We were getting a lot of Yeah, I don't know
about that mistake. Grammar's not I just write.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But the Emmys are coming up, The twenty twenty five
Emmy Awards are coming up this weekend Sunday night, as
a matter of fact, five o'clock streaming on Paramount Plus.
You'll also see him on CBS. Of course, there's a
couple of obvious winners. I think we talked well. Adolescence,
I mean adolescence, whatever it's nominated for, it should win
(06:25):
every the.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Little boy is the main nomination that I know really
camera work or I don't know about there might be,
but I'm almost positive he's nominated for Supporting Actor.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Which is crazy because I know that he wasn't the
main actor, but probably depending on whatever rules they use
for the Emmys, could have qualified as the actor Lead actor. Yeah,
but so some of what we know best drama series
and or The Diplomat, the Last of Us, Paradise, The Pit, Severance,
Slow Horses, and The White Lotus.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
What's your favorite out of all those? I mean those are.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I mean I tried to get into the Pit. I
maybe you know on Man out Here. I just was like,
I feel like we've seen this. This is like twenty
four but in an er room, but I without Keifer,
without the Keif.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I really liked White Lotus. I really like what they're
doing with that show. It has a beautiful build to it,
the mystery of it. Every season gets more and more interesting.
The cast this year was incredible. I like White Lotus,
but for all the marbles you think, yeah, yeah, I'm
with you on that.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I think Severance is just like such a prestige drama
that I can't see. It's the newer thing, especially comparatively,
And I think White Lotus is like, I know, I
liked it too.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It sounds like you liked it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I think there was a lot of like, uh, sort
of started to fizzle out over the last two seasons.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, the thing with that, I've noticed what happens a
lot of times with these juggernaut shows that get all
this award you know, awards and attention and nominations, they
end up not really winning that many Like every year
or every show it seems like, oh, such and such
has twenty five nominations and they're gonna win it all,
and then they win like maybe one.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I wonder if there's a timing aspect of it, when
the difference between when nominations are announced versus when the
voting for the final winner is actually, you know, something
could be super hot. Adolescents as an example, in March
and April was just burning up Netflix. Yeah, servers over
and Netflix were melting because people were watching that thing.
(08:32):
And now people have to be reminded, Hey, remember you
were obsessed with that show a couple of months ago.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
That's that four year consideration campaign stuff. It's crazy. Well,
you've noticed people for the Oscars. A lot of your
Oscar contenders come out in the fall because they know
that that's when it's going to be fresh on people's
mind for the Oscar voting in the spring. So I
think there is something to that. I do think Severance
has a really good shot. But I think Severance has
(08:59):
still so much more to give over the next couple
of seasons that we may see it get awarded more
down the road. Even though it has twenty seven nominations,
that's insane.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The Best Comedy Series, Abbot Elementary, The Bear Hacks. Nobody
wants this, only murders in the building, shrinking the studio
and what we do in the shadows. The reason I
don't want the studio to win outside of seth Rogen
is Hollywood doesn't need any more masturbatory television shows about itself,
And that is exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Why it's going to win.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I know they love themselves self. Flagellation is the name.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Have you seen it already?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Watch the Dramatic I got about through five episodes, I think,
and that was too many.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, hey, it's already winning some awards. It already won
quite a few at the Creative Arts Emmys last Weekend,
and there's a lot of like the inside jokes that
the winners were making on the stage from the show,
like they're thinking South Silverstein, which is a made up
kind of character in the show. I think the Studio
has a good chance of winning. My own personal favorite
(10:05):
would be Hacks. I love that show so much. Jeane
Smart is incredible, Hannah Imbinder brilliant. That's my personal favorite.
And the Bear being in the comedy category will forever
be confounding.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, mystifying.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, but I'm okay with the studio if for the
very reason that we just finally get to like throw
on all the love for the Smokehouse. It's like, I
need that place to do as well as it can
possibly do, So let's let's push it all the way.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yes, And then the host this year is going to
be comedian Nate Bargatsy. Yes, what a minute that guy
is having.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I know, and honestly so well deserved. Similar to Leanne
who we've talked about who has a Netflix show now,
Nate Barghetti, I feel like has been one of those
under the radar comics that in the past few years,
especially since TikTok, you know, hit and Social media hit.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He has just skyrocketed. I think he's so funny, and
he's not new to the business. And now the thing is,
he's new to a lot of people's awareness. Yeah, but
he's been, I mean, working at working at stand up
comedy for two decades.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And very similar to Jerry Seinfeld. He loves the art
of comedy, the art of writing a joke, finding where
that where that perfect pause is. I've heard many interviews
with him where he says he studies and knows where
the pause is and where to get off the road.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
If it's not going well. What I love about him,
We talked about it. We've both seen him do shows
here in La He the name of his tour that
he's on right now is the Big Dumb Eyes Tour.
It's also the name of a book that he wrote
or co wrote. He's not the smartest, he's not the sharpest.
He's not admittedly, I mean, he'll he'll tell you that.
(11:47):
But he understands the art of that storytelling, telling of
the comedy. And it's it's to me, it's fascinating to
hear someone like that who knows his own limitation. He
doesn't know how space works, like he doesn't know the
difference between a vacuum like the vacuum of space and
how our atmosphere on earthworks. But he knows how to
(12:09):
tell a story about a Starbucks order. Yeah, that everybody
can relate to absolutely, using very simple language and the
cadence and like you said, the pauses and the punchline
and the tags.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
It's incredible to see that guy work. Well.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
One thing, I'm sorry, Fandy. One thing he's doing this
year is he is he has one hundred thousand dollars
that he's giving to a charity, And for every actor
that goes over the forty five second speech, he's taking
one thousand dollars away from the charity. And for every
actor that comes in under that forty five second speech,
he'll add it back. So that's a fun little twist
(12:43):
for everybody to watch and you know, play along at home,
and don't say you don't watch the Emmys people, because
you do.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Absolutely, And I love that he's a rare comic, or
at least performer in this era who has appeal on
a mass level, almost sort of old school letterman Lenno Seinfeld,
where middle of the country likes him, coasts like him.
This is the guy who in the old days would
become a late night host. Yeah, for sure, and I
think that that's really nice to see, especially in a
(13:11):
world that's so divided. Right, guys, Kumbai ya is what
we're all setting here.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I want to say really quickly, make sure at some
point today that Keana gets to talk about Demons Layer.
We didn't get to talk to it. It opens this weekend,
and she saw it and she has some good thoughts
on it. So even though I will be no different
it's another totally new demons Layer. I'm going to be
at home sleeping, but I will be listening later when
you talk about it. Thank you always, Thanks so much
(13:38):

show anywhere anytime on the iHeartRadio app. Don't forget to
subscribe to the show and share it with friends, and
stay tuned for next week because we're probably going to
have a little post Emmy's wrap up. We're going to
break down all the details of the Emmy Awards and
hopefully you know your favorite shows one and if not,
(14:01):
well that's okay, we can still talk about it. Thanks
for listening to Entertainment. You can listen anywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Hey, it's Heather. Welcome back to entertain me. This week,
we have a really fun show. Andy Reesemeyer is joining
Gary on The Gary and Shannon Show for the weekly
Entertainment Report, and we aren't going to be talking about,
of course, all things box office, the new movies that
are becoming out this weekend, but we're also going to
be talking about the Primetime Emmy Awards. They're happening on
(00:23):
Sunday at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. I'm going
to be there. I'm going to be bringing you all
of the fun from the red carpet. So I hope

forty on Instagram and Facebook, and then you can also
follow me at the Heather Brooker on Instagram and TikTok
as well for some of the behind the scenes highlights.
I'm going to be of course looking for, you know,
(00:44):
fun fashion moments and like interesting stories to share with you,
but also trying to talk to some of my favorite actors,
people who I enjoy watching on some of my favorite
TV shows. And I sat down with Gary and Andy
this week to talk about what we think might win.
What we are most excited about for the Emmys, and
I think we all agree comedian Nate Bargetzi is going
(01:07):
to be a great host this year. We're really looking
forward to what he's going to bring to the show
and it should be a really good time. But first
things first, we got to talk about what's happening at
the box office this weekend. Downton Abbey is finally here.
I'm going to share my review with you on Gary
and Shannon, or should I say this week only Gary
and Andy.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Andy Reestmeyer has joined us in for Shannon today, and
Heather Brooker has joined us to talk about some entertainment
stuff that's going on. Let's let's just get the you know,
elephant in the room?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Is that the dow What did you call me?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
No, no, Wow. I will jump over this table and
knock you out.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
The Downton Abbey Grand Finale.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I know you've been dying for this a movie. It's
a movie. It's the movie, the Grand Finale.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And everybody was clamoring for this.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Everyone clamoring is an understatement. Let me just tell you, okay,
I first of all have to say I've been up
since two in the morning. We're here on KFI news.
Uh so, I don't know what might happen today, but
let's get crazy. This sounds like.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I literally, I'm actually I was gonna go home, but

Does it? Again?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not to spoil too much, but at the end, does
it turn out that Bob Newhart was dreaming the whole
Everyone dies?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Everyone dies.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I'm, for one, just sad that the Queen didn't live
long enough to see this.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Because it, don't you think could you imagine her just
sitting with her little cup of tea and all her
core gies watching the Crawley, Famiurbon whatever, he's a gin lady.

If I'm going to cry on the weight of the theater,
because if someone forces me to go watch that movie,
I will be in tears.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Well go and see it. It's really good. Or maybe
just wait till it comes out on streaming in like
probably a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Wait.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Spinal tap.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Spinal tap is okay, Now this is exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
This one goes to eleven. All right. I have been
watching the trailer over and over again. I cannot believe

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Coming back, so that one you're going to see.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I will see that. When we come back. We'll talk
about Emmy's They're coming up this weekend here in LA.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
We'll talk about who we can expect to see, including
the host all that sort of including uh, Heather Brooker
and Disdain joined Andy and me right and and me.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
We were getting a lot of Yeah, I don't know
about that mistake. Grammar's not I just write.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But the Emmys are coming up, The twenty twenty five
Emmy Awards are coming up this weekend Sunday night, as
a matter of fact, five o'clock streaming on Paramount Plus.
You'll also see him on CBS. Of course, there's a
couple of obvious winners. I think we talked well. Adolescence,
I mean adolescence, whatever it's nominated for, it should win

every the.
Speaker 1 (06:26):

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Which is crazy because I know that he wasn't the

for the Emmys, could have qualified as the actor Lead actor. Yeah,
but so some of what we know best drama series
and or The Diplomat, the Last of Us, Paradise, The Pit, Severance,
Slow Horses, and The White Lotus.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
What's your favorite out of all those? I mean those are.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I mean I tried to get into the Pit. I
maybe you know on Man out Here. I just was like,
I feel like we've seen this. This is like twenty
four but in an er room, but I without Keifer,
without the Keif.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I really liked White Lotus. I really like what they're
doing with that show. It has a beautiful build to it,
the mystery of it. Every season gets more and more interesting.
The cast this year was incredible. I like White Lotus,
but for all the marbles you think, yeah, yeah, I'm
with you on that.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I think Severance is just like such a prestige drama
that I can't see. It's the newer thing, especially comparatively,
And I think White Lotus is like, I know, I
liked it too.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It sounds like you liked it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I think there was a lot of like, uh, sort
of started to fizzle out over the last two seasons.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, the thing with that, I've noticed what happens a
lot of times with these juggernaut shows that get all
this award you know, awards and attention and nominations, they
end up not really winning that many Like every year
or every show it seems like, oh, such and such
has twenty five nominations and they're gonna win it all,
and then they win like maybe one.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I wonder if there's a timing aspect of it, when
the difference between when nominations are announced versus when the
voting for the final winner is actually, you know, something
could be super hot. Adolescents as an example, in March
and April was just burning up Netflix. Yeah, servers over
and Netflix were melting because people were watching that thing.
(08:32):
And now people have to be reminded, Hey, remember you
were obsessed with that show a couple of months ago.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
That's that four year consideration campaign stuff. It's crazy. Well,
you've noticed people for the Oscars. A lot of your
Oscar contenders come out in the fall because they know
that that's when it's going to be fresh on people's
mind for the Oscar voting in the spring. So I
think there is something to that. I do think Severance
has a really good shot. But I think Severance has
(08:59):
still so much more to give over the next couple
of seasons that we may see it get awarded more
down the road. Even though it has twenty seven nominations,
that's insane.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The Best Comedy Series, Abbot Elementary, The Bear Hacks. Nobody
wants this, only murders in the building, shrinking the studio
and what we do in the shadows. The reason I
don't want the studio to win outside of seth Rogen
is Hollywood doesn't need any more masturbatory television shows about itself,
And that is exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Why it's going to win.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I know they love themselves self. Flagellation is the name.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Have you seen it already?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Watch the Dramatic I got about through five episodes, I think,
and that was too many.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, hey, it's already winning some awards. It already won
quite a few at the Creative Arts Emmys last Weekend,
and there's a lot of like the inside jokes that
the winners were making on the stage from the show,
like they're thinking South Silverstein, which is a made up
kind of character in the show. I think the Studio
has a good chance of winning. My own personal favorite
(10:05):
would be Hacks. I love that show so much. Jeane
Smart is incredible, Hannah Imbinder brilliant. That's my personal favorite.
And the Bear being in the comedy category will forever
be confounding.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, mystifying.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, but I'm okay with the studio if for the
very reason that we just finally get to like throw
on all the love for the Smokehouse. It's like, I
need that place to do as well as it can
possibly do, So let's let's push it all the way.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yes, And then the host this year is going to
be comedian Nate Bargatsy. Yes, what a minute that guy
is having.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I know, and honestly so well deserved. Similar to Leanne
who we've talked about who has a Netflix show now,
Nate Barghetti, I feel like has been one of those
under the radar comics that in the past few years,
especially since TikTok, you know, hit and Social media hit.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He has just skyrocketed. I think he's so funny, and
he's not new to the business. And now the thing is,
he's new to a lot of people's awareness. Yeah, but
he's been, I mean, working at working at stand up
comedy for two decades.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And very similar to Jerry Seinfeld. He loves the art
of comedy, the art of writing a joke, finding where
that where that perfect pause is. I've heard many interviews
with him where he says he studies and knows where
the pause is and where to get off the road.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
If it's not going well. What I love about him,
We talked about it. We've both seen him do shows
here in La He the name of his tour that
he's on right now is the Big Dumb Eyes Tour.
It's also the name of a book that he wrote
or co wrote. He's not the smartest, he's not the sharpest.
He's not admittedly, I mean, he'll he'll tell you that.
(11:47):
But he understands the art of that storytelling, telling of
the comedy. And it's it's to me, it's fascinating to
hear someone like that who knows his own limitation. He
doesn't know how space works, like he doesn't know the
difference between a vacuum like the vacuum of space and
how our atmosphere on earthworks. But he knows how to
(12:09):
tell a story about a Starbucks order. Yeah, that everybody
can relate to absolutely, using very simple language and the
cadence and like you said, the pauses and the punchline
and the tags.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
It's incredible to see that guy work. Well.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
One thing, I'm sorry, Fandy. One thing he's doing this
year is he is he has one hundred thousand dollars
that he's giving to a charity, And for every actor
that goes over the forty five second speech, he's taking
one thousand dollars away from the charity. And for every
actor that comes in under that forty five second speech,
he'll add it back. So that's a fun little twist
(12:43):
for everybody to watch and you know, play along at home,
and don't say you don't watch the Emmys people, because
you do.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Absolutely, And I love that he's a rare comic, or
at least performer in this era who has appeal on
a mass level, almost sort of old school letterman Lenno Seinfeld,
where middle of the country likes him, coasts like him.
This is the guy who in the old days would
become a late night host. Yeah, for sure, and I
think that that's really nice to see, especially in a
(13:11):
world that's so divided. Right, guys, Kumbai ya is what
we're all setting here.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I want to say really quickly, make sure at some
point today that Keana gets to talk about Demons Layer.
We didn't get to talk to it. It opens this weekend,
and she saw it and she has some good thoughts
on it. So even though I will be no different
it's another totally new demons Layer. I'm going to be
at home sleeping, but I will be listening later when
you talk about it. Thank you always, Thanks so much
