Episode Transcription
Clip:
[00:02] Well, Mrs. Heller, I can vouch for Eddie. He's definitely your man, and he's cheap, too. Just ten cents an hour, which is good value but with all the frivolity I provide.
Sarah:
[00:17] God.
Dave:
[00:18] This is the Extra Hot Great Podcast. Episode 583 for the week of October 6, 2025. I am Melkie Handwash David T. Cole, and I'm here with Murder House Auctioneer Sarah D.
Sarah:
[00:34] Oh, make me an offer.
Dave:
[00:36] Bunting, local Jezebel Tar Ariano.
Tara:
[00:40] It's pronounced Adeline.
Dave:
[00:41] And Tony Perkins truther Richard Lawson.
Richard:
[00:44] Gays are demons.
Sarah:
[00:48] Oh no, oh God.
Tara:
[00:53] Welcome to Extra Hot Great for another week. Joining us, he is a film critic you have lately read at The Guardian, The Hollywood Reporter, and Rolling Stone. You have also Heard him recently on the Ask Ronna and Brian podcast. It's Richard Lawson. Welcome back, Richard.
Sarah:
[01:06] Richard No.
Richard:
[01:08] Hey guys, nice to be here.
Dave:
[01:09] Oh, it's Eddie. Hi, Ed. This is Eddie. I'm the fun version of you.
Richard:
[01:15] My balls are all blue. That was so gross when he had to talk about sex in that voice. Sorry.
Tara:
[01:19] Yeah. Well, I'm just gonna give a blanket content warning up top for the show we're about to discuss, which is monster.
Dave:
[01:25] Can you do it in the Ed Geen voice?
Tara:
[01:27] I can do it in the Ed Geen voice. Of course I can. We're gonna have lots of frivolity. If the name Ed Geen means nothing to you, just trust us when we say, don't listen to this one with your children in the car. Fast forward for, you know, a little while. Monster, the Ed Gein story is the latest season of the Monster Anthology series on Netflix. In this one, Ed Geen, played by Charlie Hunnam, is a farmer who lives with his mother Augusta, Laurie Metcalfe, outside Plainfield, Wisconsin. When he thinks he's in private, however, Ed likes to do things such as put on his mother's lingerie to jerk off or indulge in detailed fantasies about Ilse Koch. Picky Creeps, the bitch of Buchenwald. It also definitely kills at least two people and maybe kills several others because this is a Ryan Murphy show inspired by a true story, but with a lot of embroidery. This season was all written by frequent Murphy collaborator Ian Brennan and mostly directed by Max Winkler other than the fourth and fifth episodes, which Brennan directed as well. Let's do the Chen check-in, Richard. Should our listeners watch Monster the Ed Geen story?
Richard:
[02:31] I mean, if they want to be miserable for eight hours, sure. Otherwise, no.
Tara:
[02:35] Sarah Dave It's a no for me, dog.
Clip:
[02:40] To stop those monsters, one, two, three, Here's a fresh new way that's trouble-free. It's got Paul Anchors guarantee Guarantee void in Tennessee Just don't look just a luck In Toronto's War on Crime, the worst offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Unit.
Tara:
[02:59] Uh let's get into it. Richard, you nailed it this weekend when you posed on Blue Sky. Let me hire all my favorite actresses and allow the space to give the worst performances of their careers, Ryan Murphy.
Richard:
[03:11] That was uh tweeted or skeeted or whatever at like Probably the nadir of some Laurie Metcalfe scene that I was just like, a brilliant actress.
Tara:
[03:17] Yes.
Richard:
[03:19] I've seen her on stage a bunch. She's really incredible and is just so bad in the show.
Tara:
[03:23] Yeah, one of my first notes is Laurie Metcalf. No, you were in Steppenwolf. And so was Rondi Reed, who also shows up later to play Mary Hogan. Should Ryan Murphy be stopped from doing this? Let's start there, Richard.
Richard:
[03:35] Yeah, I think he needs to if he wants to go keep going down this path, he either needs to find stuff that actually bears up against the kind of sociological analysis he's attempting to do or Ian Brennan is attempting to do. Or just admit that he just wants to show scary murder stuff and just, you know, get rid of all the trappings of like, you know, grand meaning because he's really reaching in this one in a way that just is kind of, I don't know, it's a little embarrassing almost.
Tara:
[04:00] Talk about the reaching because our listeners may not have watched this and shouldn't. So elaborate on that a little bit.
Richard:
[04:06] The interesting sort of premise behind the show, which you know is persuasively argued, is that like Edgine, you know, this post-war serial killer, grave robber guy, captured the attention of a of a of a different America, sort of rocked by war. Darkness had descended on the land. And Thus inspired the novel that became the movie Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Silence of the Lambs. Ed Geen, in a hideous way, Is a major cultural figure of the 20th century. That's interesting. But where the show goes past that into this kind of thing about like gender identity and queer longing and Just all this other stuff that just feels really forced. Like with a lot of Ryan Murphy things or Ryan Murphy produced things, I just kind of have to firmly say I don't agree with you and I think you are wrong.
Tara:
[04:52] Yeah. I mean, Sarah, you reviewed this for Best Evidence as well. And you sort of said the same thing where it's like, it's trying to do too much, but it's also not doing enough.
Sarah:
[05:00] I led with a screenshot of Ed Gein reading a True Detective magazine, and there's a school of thought which did not originate with Ian Brennan or Murphy or anyone in this sector. Of the narrative that these sort of torture porn or torture porn adjacent magazines of the mid-century did a lot to sort of Force multiply tendencies in serial killers, not just Gin, who quote, only killed two people. So that is gestured at. The idea that he may have had a traumatic brain injury based on childhood abuse, gestured at. And then the the idea that we, the consumer public, are the monsters for caring about This stuff that Brennan has extremely carefully set-designed to revolting effect that is gestured at, but then none of them is followed. Through sufficiently. And the problem with using this case to try to reach some larger grand Cultural meaning, like Richard referred to, is that at the end of the day, everyone is fascinated by it because he dug up graves and Fucked corpses. And like, it's a human instinct to be morbidly fascinated by that, but there's not really a whole lot of story there. Like, what can we, uh, what can we conclude from this? Like, well, boyfriend was real fucked up. Like, that's a 12-minute short, and then we can all go back to our lives.
Tara:
[06:29] Yeah.
Sarah:
[06:34] But this was like a lot of Murphy verse. projects like it just really ran out of steam and the Murphyverse is like too powerful and reliable as a money maker. To be pushed back on about this stuff narratively, and that's what needed to happen. Someone needed to be like, This is 83 minutes enough.
Dave:
[06:57] Yeah, it's definitely a two pound show and a ten pound bag. And the other eight pounds he's trying to fill with trying to do a follow-up to that Hollywood show. Like, there's so much about what should be a footnote to the story, which is: Ed Gein was the inspiration behind all these horror films of the 20th century. And it is a third of the show. Like, it is a lot of the show, maybe more than that. Like, and not just like A peek into how he inspired it, but it's like going a level deeper and further away into the making of these productions. Psycho is the first one we see in the series. Beautifully shot, but it just felt so overstuffed and so anemic when it came to the actual subject matter in the title.
Richard:
[07:44] You know who's not anemic is Charlie Hunnam as Edgeen, much like Evan Peters in the Dahmer season of the monster anthology. These two, like, hunky guys who are constantly shot shirtless, as if to like, we're supposed to be attracted to them. And it's like, what are you saying here?
Tara:
[08:02] Yeah.
Richard:
[08:02] Why is this happening?
Dave:
[08:03] It's all the calories I burn milking the cows.
Tara:
[08:06] Well, yeah, we see Ed like completely nude like five minutes into the first episode, I'm pretty sure.
Dave:
[08:13] Yeah. Standing in front of his mother as punishment for jerking off that scene.
Tara:
[08:17] Yeah.
Dave:
[08:17] Yeah.
Sarah:
[08:17] Mhm.
Dave:
[08:18] Mm-hmm.
Tara:
[08:18] Just normal stuff.
Dave:
[08:18] You know how it goes.
Sarah:
[08:19] Yeah.
Tara:
[08:21] Is Charlie Hunnam good, Richard? He makes a he definitely makes a big choice with the voice, but what what did you think of the rest of his performance?
Richard:
[08:30] Yeah, what's the old joke if there was an Emmy for most acting?
Tara:
[08:33] Yeah.
Richard:
[08:34] I tend to be skeptical when someone is doing something like that. I'm like, well, Surely that's not what they sounded like. And then I'll go like actually watch or listen to audio of the said person and it's like, oh, wow, they really nailed it. I thought that's what What was going to happen with Ed Gein. So, after I was done with the show, I went on YouTube, and there is a little bit of audio recording of him from his first, I think, police interrogation. He doesn't sound like that at all.
Sarah:
[08:56] No, he doesn't.
Richard:
[08:56] That's not his voice. Where did that come from?
Tara:
[08:59] Wow, huh.
Dave:
[09:01] It feels very eighties.
Sarah:
[09:01] Yeah.
Dave:
[09:02] I have a disease acting.
Tara:
[09:03] Uh-huh.
Dave:
[09:04] It feels very performative in the same way.
Sarah:
[09:05] Yeah.
Richard:
[09:06] Yeah, you never you know you never go full gain.
Dave:
[09:08] Never cookie.
Sarah:
[09:09] No, there was a documentary. It was called The Ed Gein Tapes and not even close. And the accent is like all over the prairie.
Dave:
[09:20] I'm uh I'm just a dude playing a dude, is playing another dude.
Tara:
[09:23] Yes. His brother doesn't sound anything like that. Yeah. You also, I mean, to get back to the The ladies who have been compromised by this project. Leslie Manville also appears later, Richard. Talk about what happens to her.
Richard:
[09:38] Yeah, she sure does. I love Leslie Manville.
Sarah:
[09:40] Yeah.
Richard:
[09:41] I love Leslie Manville when she goes kind of campy. Have you ever seen Let Him Go, the Diane Lane Kevin Costner movie where she's the villain?
Tara:
[09:47] No!
Richard:
[09:48] Oh, she has a great it's from like 2020. She has a great last line in the movie that's just way over the top, but it's really fun. I didn't find this fun. I found it kind of depressing because Manville is a great actor who just fell into that Murphy Verse trap of like more, more, more, just go big, you know?
Tara:
[10:05] Mhm.
Richard:
[10:05] And Maybe she's trying to match the energy of Hunnum. She's like, all right, he's doing something crazy, so I guess I will too.
Tara:
[10:11] Yeah.
Richard:
[10:12] But it just made me sad. I mean, you know, the character's fate is sad, but I also think kind of Manville's fate in the show is sad.
Sarah:
[10:19] I liked her performance. I mean, Hanum's, I can't really even like, yeah, there was a Lot of it, you know, it's terrible in such large portions, but uh, I think we can't even judge it because this figure historically is like you know, it just blots out any nuance. Even if there were any nuance in the performance, you wouldn't really notice it. Manville's performance I found more affecting. I thought occasionally there were nice moments for the performers, but they weren't given adequate direction. They were just thrown into this completely over the top a hundred and seventy decibel story and left to try to make their mark in it somehow. And most of them went with Spittally screaming. And I don't like, I almost can't blame the actors for any choices that they made because I just feel like Brennan did not and Winkler did not guide them at all or help them.
Dave:
[11:13] Yeah. It was a very Harold Zoid in Futurama production.
Richard:
[11:17] No I think Susannah's son, who plays, you know, a kind of girlfriend-ish of Ed, and that it's based on a real person, but her level of relationship with Ed Gein is not really known for sure.
Dave:
[11:20] You in the background, wave your arms.
Richard:
[11:34] But this show really amps up her presence in his life. Whether or not part of that is fantasy existing only in Gein's head, we don't really know.
Tara:
[11:42] Right.
Richard:
[11:43] But I think that the performance is interesting, even if I find that character totally illegible.
Sarah:
[11:48] Same. I thought she was good given that I found the character, like it bears almost no relationship to anything we actually know. We're spending too much time with her. And as I wrote in my review, like this weird Nellie Olson Wednesday Adams hybrid is disconcerting at best.
Tara:
[12:06] Mm-hmm.
Sarah:
[12:07] And then All of a sudden, you're in New York City, and Ouija, played by Elliot Gould, is insulting her. Like, what? Seriously, what are we doing?
Tara:
[12:16] Yeah.
Sarah:
[12:16] Tell me what we're doing. I just want to know what we're doing so that I can stop doing it because this is eight hours too long.
Dave:
[12:23] Sounds like it's sort of like the true crime horror salad bar where you can just like pick little things and together when you have to put everything on your plate at once. It's disgusting.
Richard:
[12:33] Yeah, it's just Ryan Murphy emptying out his drunk drawer. I'd be like, Ian, can you make something out of this?
Dave:
[12:35] Yeah.
Tara:
[12:38] We can probably stop there, but I'll just add as a footnote: while researching this, I found out that Charlie Hunnam auditioned for Dawson's Creek to play Dawson.
Dave:
[12:45] Wow.
Tara:
[12:45] That's where he met his first wife.
Dave:
[12:47] Hey Joey, you wanna come to climb up my window?
Richard:
[12:51] Amistad is underrated.
Tara:
[12:53] I want to be your boy adventure.
Sarah:
[12:56] Oh go.
Tara:
[12:58] Sorry.
Dave:
[13:02] Time for a lot of shows. It's a good time for shows. It is time for around the dial. Tara, you are up first. What do you got first?
Tara:
[13:12] Play clip one.
Clip:
[13:20] These are their stories.
Tara:
[13:23] I'm pretty sure Toronto's War on Crime is mostly focused on bike theft rings.
Sarah:
[13:24] No Sure.
Tara:
[13:28] Like, I don't know what this show thinks it's doing, but No, that's the that's the version of the episode from from thecw dot TV, yes.
Dave:
[13:31] Is that just the YouTube video, or is that that bad?
Tara:
[13:43] Wikipedia says that actually is Law and Order series narrator Stephen Zernkilton, but it sounds like AI to me. It's very bad.
Dave:
[13:50] Totally sounds like AI, yeah.
Sarah:
[13:50] Yeah.
Tara:
[13:51] Anywho, Law and Order Toronto colon criminal intent premiered in Canada in February 2024. It became the year's number one primetime drama of 2024 in Canada, I assume asterisk, Canadian produced. But now it's been imported by the CW. It has already outdone the network's attempted import of Taskmaster in that two episodes have aired, and as far as I have seen, it's going to air more. It stars precisely one guy I have ever heard of, Aiden Young, a real Canadian who formerly starred in Rectify. Here he's the Vincent D'Onofrio character, and hearing that know-it-all-in-ness delivered in a thick Canadian accent is hilarious.
Sarah:
[14:27] What Wow Oh Muskayuca Yep.
Tara:
[14:31] He's definitely sounding like he is from Edmonton.
Dave:
[14:34] Chief, all our maple syrup's gone.
Tara:
[14:36] Basically, this version was created by Tassie Cameron.
Dave:
[14:37] Yeah.
Tara:
[14:40] Her mother is Stevie Cameron, who was a crime reporter at the Globe and Mail. Tassie wrote on DeGrassy The Next Generation. Then she adapted the Margaret Atwood novel The Robber Bride as a TV movie. So basically. This is the most Canadian Canadian we have, and she has made the show we would expect her to in Canada. Let's hear clip two.
Clip:
[15:00] How rich am I going to get? How rich do you want, Arlene? You want a champagne fountain, private island in Muskoka, a little four-seater Cessna to get you there in style.
Tara:
[15:08] Yeah Exactly.
Dave:
[15:09] Private island in Muskoka. Let's all celebrate with the coffee crisp.
Tara:
[15:17] Before we get on the yacht, I gotta stop and get my Timmy's. Anyway, if you don't know why that's adorable or anything about local Toronto references, the show is probably gonna bore you a lot, but.
Dave:
[15:25] Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Tara:
[15:28] If you need a Wednesday night procedural and you never got into the one Chicago shows, Law and Order Toronto Colon Criminal Intent is here for you on this. CW and then later on the app, there are 20 episodes so far. I'm pretty sure they're going to make more. So that was my joy of the weekend: dipping into that hearing Muskoka referenced.
Dave:
[15:46] The mean streets of Toronto Sure.
Richard:
[15:49] How many murders are are at the Degrassi Community School?
Tara:
[15:52] So far, none, but there's only been two episodes. The first one was at it was on a boat, someone gets pushed off a boat.
Richard:
[15:55] Okay.
Tara:
[15:59] They're going back and forth between Toronto and Toronto Island, of course. And in the second episode, it's at an apartment complex that I'm pretty sure is like in our old neighborhood on Delaware or near near there.
Dave:
[16:11] Oh, really?
Tara:
[16:12] Like, I think we looked at houses around there when we were shopping for a house.
Dave:
[16:15] What other locations? Okay, first CN Tower Stairwell, right?
Tara:
[16:18] Of course, yes.
Dave:
[16:18] The one where they do the charity thing. It takes people like five hours to go up the CN Tower Stairwell.
Tara:
[16:21] Uhhuh. Yep.
Dave:
[16:23] Somebody dies during that.
Sarah:
[16:23] Uh-huh.
Tara:
[16:24] Mhm. Casaloma.
Dave:
[16:25] Castle Loma Hockey Hall of Fame. Den, dun, dun, den, den.
Richard:
[16:28] Someone gets pushed down the long escalator at Scotiabank.
Dave:
[16:31] Yeah.
Sarah:
[16:32] Queen's Key, Wall of Cheese?
Tara:
[16:32] Yes.
Dave:
[16:35] Mm-hmm.
Sarah:
[16:35] Is that still a thing?
Tara:
[16:36] I mean, they produce it for City TV. So if Speaker's Corner is still open, someone should get murdered in Speaker's Corner.
Dave:
[16:42] I think that's gone a long time ago, but that would have been that'll that'll be a throwback episode.
Tara:
[16:44] Probably. Bring it back.
Dave:
[16:46] That'll be like the start of the current murder investigation that started in '89 somehow.
Tara:
[16:51] Yeah.
Dave:
[16:53] Anyways, this has been Canada Corner.
Tara:
[16:57] For my plug, this is not Canadian at all, really, but Sarah already plugged the Patreon for our sister podcast again with this last week. So I will Plug the Patreon for our sister podcast, listen to Sassy. You can join the Listen to Sassy club for just $5 a month. That gets you full-issue PDF scans of every single episode of Sassy, every page, including all of the ads. Stuff we never talk about on the podcast. So it's, you know, if you're a magazine psycho like me, it's really worth your $5, I would say. So listen to sassy. com/slash club for that. And of course, also the podcast, which is a joy to produce.
Dave:
[17:32] I have a quick pitch. I haven't really fleshed it out, but there's an officer in the RCMP called Ruffle.
Tara:
[17:35] Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Dave:
[17:40] And he only fights crime in his full mountain uniform, and it's called ruffles all dressed.
Tara:
[17:43] Yes. Nice.
Dave:
[17:46] Okay, thanks.
Sarah:
[17:46] Uh-huh.
Richard:
[17:47] Wow, wow.
Dave:
[17:49] All right, Richard, what have you been watching recently?
Tara:
[17:51] Thank you for tolerating that, Richard.
Dave:
[17:52] Ike, honestly, we could stop right now and just talk about stupid Canadian TV ideas for the next hour. I'd be really happy, but we have planned.
Tara:
[18:00] Proceed.
Dave:
[18:00] Richard, what have you been watching that people need to know about?
Richard:
[18:04] Well, from a Commonwealth country to the actual UK, I have been watching the latest series, not season. of Only Connect, the wonderful quiz show hosted by Victoria Corrin Mitchell, who I find quite charming. We are about halfway through this series, which means That we're now like kind of in round two. So, the people who won in round one are now going against each other. And we are just at that sweet spot where the questions are hard enough that when you get them right, you feel smart. In a couple episodes more, they'll be so hard that I feel like a complete idiot for the rest of the season. But right now it's really, really hitting. I don't know if any of you have watched the show. It's mostly on YouTube. That's how I watch it. There is one very dedicated YouTuber I don't want to name out loud because I'm worried that like the YouTube gods will somehow descend upon this person and take all their videos away.
Tara:
[18:46] Of course, yeah.
Richard:
[18:47] But if you just search for OnlyConnect on YouTube, you can find it. We're in series 21. But there are a lot of past series on YouTube. So I've been also delving into those, and it's been very fun.
Dave:
[18:59] Did that include the one where she's bagging on the New York Times version of it?
Richard:
[19:03] It does indeed. I saw that episode recently. It was very funny. And she actually kind of took it easy on them because the New York Times copied the Connections, the sort of board where you have to group things together in groups of four. I remember her tweeting about that when New York Times launched that part of their games app. And she was like, We've been doing a show for 15 years that does exactly that, guys. Anyway, OnlyConnect. It's really great. Feel smart and then feel dumb. That's the arc of every season.
Sarah:
[19:30] Or, as I like to call it, cape time.
Richard:
[19:32] Yeah, there you go. Yeah, exactly. It's a good preview for game time. And plugs-wise, as Tara mentioned, I have been writing for The Guardian for Hollywood Reporter. At Hollywood Reporter, I have a review of One Battle After Another, the great Paul Thomas Anderson. And then in The Guardian, this week I have a write-up of Monster the Ed Gein story. As you can tell from what I just said, it's a really positive write-up, lots of nice things to say about the show.
Dave:
[19:54] Mhm.
Richard:
[19:56] So, yeah, go find that at theguardian. com.
Dave:
[19:58] Four stars.
Tara:
[19:59] We don't have the direct link here, but it will link to your author page. So by the time this episode populates, it'll be there.
Richard:
[20:03] Yes. Perfect.
Dave:
[20:07] Sarah D. Bunting, what do you have to talk about and where is this show located, please?
Sarah:
[20:14] Space.
Dave:
[20:15] Wow, what's happening?
Sarah:
[20:16] I cannot really say that we enjoyed The third season of Strange New Worlds, except the Everyone is of Vulcan episode, which made us laugh very hard many times.
Tara:
[20:22] Yeah. Yeah, that was funny.
Sarah:
[20:27] And we almost like just went back to the beginning of it to watch it again because it was very funny. But overall, the season just seemed inconsistent. Stories siloed off, like everyone siloed off from the group, derivative episodes that dragged like we already had an enemy mine and it wasn't that Good that we needed Erica's version with the lonely, hey there, Lonelygorn.
Dave:
[20:51] Totally.
Sarah:
[20:52] And as glad as I am that the writers finally realized that Marie Battelle is not awesome. That ending was also derivative. Like, we already have Jacob's Ladder and the Six Feet Under finale, but I read somewhere that a lot of the season's issues might have been down to scheduling problems with various cast members. That's a hundred percent how it felt. Also, justice for Nurse Chapel's hair. What the fuck happened?
Tara:
[21:17] Yeah.
Sarah:
[21:18] It was perfect, then it was low flow. I will say, like, we never considered quitting. Like, I think the series is sort of like fuck-up proof enough that you could sort of live with Seasons like this, where it's like, oh, someone was off shooting, whatever, at the end of Discovery, or, you know, they got COVID or whatever it is. Like, we like the actors a lot. Mostly, we're not sure we're going to re-up Paramount Plus. Just for it, but I'm also not sure that we want to commit to discovery because that was recommended to us by a friend at a dinner party recently.
Dave:
[21:52] No.
Sarah:
[21:53] Rest of the panel, any thoughts on what we should do?
Tara:
[21:54] Mm-mm. No, don't do it.
Dave:
[21:55] Don't. It's terrible.
Sarah:
[21:56] Okay.
Tara:
[21:57] We quit before it ended.
Dave:
[21:58] Yeah.
Tara:
[21:59] I think we quit before the s That we talked about on the podcast.
Sarah:
[21:59] Okay.
Dave:
[22:00] If somebody recommends Picard, you can skip that one, too.
Sarah:
[22:03] Oh no, I that I already skipped.
Dave:
[22:04] Oh, that's right. Yeah, right.
Sarah:
[22:06] Yeah. But Dan's like, what about this bit? I'm like, no.
Dave:
[22:09] More like crap, am I right?
Tara:
[22:11] Yeah.
Sarah:
[22:13] More like poo card.
Dave:
[22:14] Yeah.
Sarah:
[22:15] There it is.
Tara:
[22:15] Lower decks is fun.
Dave:
[22:16] Yeah, lower decks is good.
Sarah:
[22:17] Yeah, I we might do that. We like that. Crossover from the end of season two. I mean, it's like a good show. It's sort of like it'll stay afloat for the time that it has left, which is fortunately, I think, limited.
Tara:
[22:30] Yes.
Sarah:
[22:30] So that's a good thing.
Tara:
[22:31] I think it's a season and a half.
Dave:
[22:33] Are you excited to possibly watch the new Star Trek high school show, Star Trek Academy? It looks terrible.
Tara:
[22:41] Has a good cast, though. I'm curious.
Sarah:
[22:43] Yeah, I'm I'm curious, but I am also not optimistic.
Tara:
[22:45] Mm, maybe.
Dave:
[22:48] Mhm. All right. What do you got the plug, sir?
Sarah:
[22:50] Mark and Sarah and Dan Rogie Talk About William Joel has returned for another album ranking one-off. That's Mark Blankenship. Dan and I ranking Billy Joel's The Stranger. Some absolutely scandalous things were said about Vienna and the Sears Art Department. To find out what they are, go to wherever you listen to podcasts and look for Market Sarah Talk About Songs. It came out a couple of weeks ago. We will link to it in the show notes as well.
Dave:
[23:22] All right, here's what's coming up on Extra, Extra Hot Great this Friday. We're going to be talking about Boots. I forgot what Boots was.
Tara:
[23:28] It is a period dramedy That's right.
Dave:
[23:30] About the chemist store from the UK. That's right.
Tara:
[23:34] No.
Dave:
[23:34] Thank you.
Tara:
[23:35] It's about a kid from parenthood enlisting in the Marines and being secretly gay in the don't ask, don't tell era.
Dave:
[23:38] Oh, that's right. Right.
Tara:
[23:41] And it was one of the last things that Normand Lear executive produced. It's on Netflix.
Dave:
[23:45] All right, that is this Friday, that plus a whole bunch more. And then come back here on EHE Prime One Week. We're going to be talking about the chair company with Allison Herman.
Tara:
[23:54] Woo!
Richard:
[23:56] Great pairing.
Dave:
[24:05] It is time for the extra hot great cannon presenting this week. Is our guest, Richard Richard? Take it away.
Clip:
[24:11] Imagine, if you will, a man who lies a liar A big, flamboyant, stupid, aggressive, obnoxious, bogglingly powerful liar. I know it is hard to picture such a person, but please try. Imagine a liar who is maddeningly successful at lying, who is such an obvious liar that the most frustrating thing about him is not the lying itself, but that so many people around him utterly fail to see his lies. Or maybe they do see them and they have just given in to the inevitability of the liar some day stepping on their necks. They have succumbed to the liar's inexorability Imagine such a scenario, if it is at all possible for you to do so. And then imagine who abets that liar. Some other man, a feckless and frightened dope, cowed by some grotesque idea of masculinity, desperate to be part of an in group He knows the liar is lying to him, and yet he does nothing to assert himself, to wriggle out of the liar's grasp, even when it is entirely within his power to point out the liar and say, He is a liar, let's stop listening to him. He rejects every opportunity to do that, and instead marches willingly toward his own oblivion at the liar's side. He knows, to quote an old racist who used to run England, that his head is in the tiger's mouth, but he doesn't seem to care. because at least he is close to the tiger for the first time in his sorry life. Imagine this man runs a micro brewery And so imagine these two coasting on dismayingly smooth rails toward victory at the expense of so many other people, most of them too dumb to get out of the liar's way, but otherwise better, more likable people than the liar and his helpmeat. On and on they glide, seemingly unstoppable. But the Liar Man and his lackey realize something that most Liarmen and their lackeys eventually learn. At some point we ought to blame this all on a woman, or at the very least use that woman as a shield, toss her to the angry masses to distract them from our assent. And so the liar selects a woman to be his scapegoat. And she is a bit awkward and socially inept, and the liar figures she is perfectly manipulatable. that the sheer fact of her womanness means that she will fail to even dimly comprehend his end game, in which the woman is sacrificed and loses everything. I know it is difficult to imagine this, but you must try, because it has happened at least once. But then, imagine this. Just before the liar can snatch his prize to be begrudgingly shared with his bearded egor, his hairsuit Renfield, this creature, this woman, does something unexpected. She figures out that the liar and his mule have raped her parachute, and instead of tumbling to her lonely death, she grabs a hold of the liar and his pal and stares them in the eyes and says, I'm taking you with me. The liar shrieks and wails, shocked to have been defeated right at the very end, thrashing indignantly at the cosmic unfairness of it all as he plummets toward Earth. The lackey hangs his head in shame and tilts out of the airplane, as was always his sad fate. The liar screams all the way down, while the woman, noble in her loss, wears an expression of contentedness on her stern face. Imagine finally seeing the liar bested like that, so satisfyingly, after so much time spent tearing at one's hair and imploring deaf heavens to finally make the liar's acolyte see that he is In fact, a liar. Doesn't it give you hope that such things are possible? That at least once in this world the liar got what was coming to him, got his commutments. and his pathetic enabler went down in tears too. Sure, this only happened on the Traders Australia season two, one of the most frustrating seasons of television I've ever watched, with one of the best endings of any season of reality T V I've ever seen. But if it could happen there, where else could it, too? The most fun I've had in this game. Was when you guys recruited me. I have had a ball being part of Team Trader. Like you were the best players. You planned, you were strategic. And when you recruited me, I knew then your plan was to take me right here. I knew you wanted me because I was a sharer. But if I wasn't going to win, then none of us were going to win.
Tara:
[28:59] Thank you, Richard.
Richard:
[29:00] Chills. I love that scene so much.
Tara:
[29:05] So good. I'll go first. I love when you come on the podcast because we just never know what you're going to pick for your Canon pitches, and they're always brilliant. And this is no exception. I have a hard time imagining the scenario that you set up, but I, you know, I see how it applies to this episode, how a liar can prosper. Hard to believe, and yet, I guess, true, based on this episode. But I have a question before I get into my response, though. Camille keeps saying You recruited me. Is that how it went earlier in the season? Like, did they pick her, or she was oh, okay, so she was not a production pick?
Richard:
[29:38] They picked her to be a Patsy the entire time.
Tara:
[29:40] Okay, got it.
Richard:
[29:42] Yeah.
Tara:
[29:42] Okay.
Richard:
[29:42] They picked her like mid-season, mid-late season.
Tara:
[29:44] Okay, after you picked this, I vaguely remembered that this was an ending that made people mad and I didn't know the specifics because I hadn't watched it.
Richard:
[29:44] Yeah.
Tara:
[29:52] And there's even leading up to this so much to like about the episode, including when the cannon fodder contestants have been disposed of summarily before this big moment with Camille. Sarah and Liam are also you can tell why they've lasted this long even without having seen the rest of the season. Like Liam is just this cockroach of a man, and Sarah is as close to the mom from Colin from Accounts, the girl's mom. Psycho, who's like founded an organization of women supporting men, supporting women, or whatever. The other way around, she's Sarah is like that. And every time they cut to her making like her thinking face with her pursed lips, I laughed. Like, she's just Very strange woman. But when you get to the end, and you it really does look like Sam, who is the mastermind of this plan. This Colin Joes looking motherfucker that you just, even not having seen another episode in this whole season, like I don't want him to win. Blake, I feel neutral on, although imagine he runs a microbrewery. Like, of course he does.
Richard:
[30:53] Yep, that's his job.
Dave:
[30:54] Blake looked like that guy from Reaper to me.
Tara:
[30:57] Yeah, yes, he does kind of look like that guy.
Sarah:
[30:58] Oh, yeah, totally.
Tara:
[31:00] But even if you didn't know that, when you see the purple and black sweater, like, of course, he runs a microbrewery or a Halloween store, one or the other.
Dave:
[31:05] Right.
Tara:
[31:06] I'm neutral on Blake, but I know that he's not going to step out of line. And then when they lay out the scenarios, and the only one where no one gets the money, even though you kind of know this has to be what's coming. And as we were going into it, Dave and I were both like, What do you think is going to happen? And we were right that she would, that all three of them would write Steel. It's still so good. Like, it still works. So well. It's so satisfying. I feel like, especially when you say the rest of the season was frustrating. I don't have to watch it now because this moment makes all of it worthwhile. It's So delicious. And I mean, we didn't clip it, or you didn't clip it. The Sam hassling Camille, basically, like, why would you do this? Like, how could you ask that? You know why she did it. It's the same reason you were going to do it to her.
Richard:
[31:54] Exactly, yeah.
Tara:
[31:55] Yes.
Dave:
[31:55] He's such a piss lord about it too at the end that you're like, oh, it makes it even more delicious that you walk away with nothing.
Tara:
[31:57] Oh, he's yes, right.
Richard:
[32:00] You don't need the money, you know.
Dave:
[32:01] Yeah.
Richard:
[32:02] The frustrating aspect is that Sam is a trader from the very beginning. And I know I'm watching it from home, and we see things that the contestants don't. It is so obvious every step of the way. That he's a traitor, and no one ever, ever writes his name down. And you're just like tearing your hair out, and then five, and you really think, oh, he just did it. Like, he's one of those evil reality villains who just wins. And then he doesn't at the very end in the best way because he totally, totally thought Camille was stupid and was just kind of going to play along with whatever they were lying to her about.
Tara:
[32:32] Yes.
Richard:
[32:32] And then she didn't.
Tara:
[32:33] Yeah, every part of it is satisfying. Both him like hectoring her after the fact, and then Blake. Clearly, just absolutely shattered, trying not to cry, like not saying anything, hiding his face.
Sarah:
[32:44] And failing.
Tara:
[32:44] It's like both halves of it are delicious. So, this was. A wonderful episode to bring to our table. Gorgeous presentation, Sarah.
Sarah:
[32:55] My notes read towards the end, right before the final meeting of the minds. Hilariously, I am already invested and an expert after only 50 minutes.
Tara:
[33:07] Yeah.
Sarah:
[33:07] And that's exactly what you want from a reality show, especially a finale that is coming into the canon. And also, I mean, this presentation was gorgeous, like just beyond Hirschute Renfield alone. Like, obviously, I'm voting this in, but More to the point that Sam just has to stand there and eat his own sexism and assumptions.
Tara:
[33:30] Mm-hmm.
Sarah:
[33:31] And she When she's like, You got brought me in here because I'm a sharer. And I was like, Oh, she's gonna do it. And then my notes from there are like just F-bombs, and then yay, Camille. And then I drew like fireworks. And then after that, he still won't shut the fuck up.
Tara:
[33:49] Mm-hmm.
Sarah:
[33:49] And it really was like this episode is such an excellent microcosm of what me The traders and all its international iterations so compelling and satisfying that you have every sort of trope of social. Game advancement here, and especially Sam, who was that like Johnny Bananas type that people just let take root like a weed. Because they're like, oh, we'll get him out later because everybody hates him. And then his roots have dug into like the mantle of the earth and he's impossible to get out.
Tara:
[34:22] I'm sure that's what everyone thought at Saturday Night Live, too, about Colin Jost, and he's still there.
Richard:
[34:27] He's very tony from Survivor, where you're like, Why is he still here?
Sarah:
[34:28] Yeah.
Tara:
[34:29] Okay.
Richard:
[34:31] He's going to win again? Like, it's just, it's crazy.
Sarah:
[34:34] Yeah, or Russell, that it's like, this is unpleasant to spend time with. How are you still letting him eat the production's food? Get rid, but that's the thinking. It's like, well, everyone else despises him, also, and the next thing you know, there you are at tribal council or at the final tribal, anyway. This was so satisfying, and just realizing that, like, I don't think it really did occur to Sam, nor should it have because of these other fucking boneheads who let him get to the end. He's like, oh, she actually did it. She actually screwed herself over so that she could screw me over. And I was like, oh my God, like, do you not understand how pettiness works?
Tara:
[35:13] Yeah Yes.
Sarah:
[35:13] And also, this is the best TV. I love it.
Tara:
[35:16] Mm-hmm.
Sarah:
[35:16] I love this episode. I love this presentation Mm-hmm.
Tara:
[35:19] I forgot to say that she also does this in what appear to be a pair of packed airport joggers. Like she looks like she's even in comfy pants and it's like.
Richard:
[35:25] Hopefully, yeah.
Tara:
[35:27] From top to bottom, there's no wrong decisions made on this night. Great job, Camille. Okay, Dave.
Dave:
[35:34] She was some sort of military or law enforcement person, right?
Richard:
[35:39] Federal investigator, I think she kept referring to herself as.
Sarah:
[35:42] Yeah, so like their FBI, I assumed.
Dave:
[35:44] She comports herself in that way. So when it actually comes time for her to put the hammer down, it is in such a sort of like Exit interview, sort of manner that makes it like all the better because it's like, I'm not gonna raise my voice, I'm not gonna start.
Tara:
[35:56] Uh-huh.
Dave:
[36:02] Spitting and all that. Like it's very sort of like, well, you fucked up, and I'm going to tell you how you fucked up. And after this, we're going to get out of the banker box and we'll be going home. It had that tone to it, which makes it like, oh, you fucked up, mom's mad, kind of thing going on here.
Tara:
[36:14] Mhm. Yep.
Dave:
[36:18] As I'm wont to say whenever a reality show thing comes up in the canon. Not a big reality show guy. So when something hits for me, you know it has to be insanely special. There are some high watermarks. The Australian survivor.
Tara:
[36:32] That Richard previously pitched.
Dave:
[36:33] That Richard did last time, definitely up there. What this reminded me more of was the end of an episode of Survivor Australia, not Australian Survivor, season two of regular Survivor, where Mitchell gets blindsided on the way, on the walk to Tribal Council.
Sarah:
[36:48] Oh, Bitchel.
Dave:
[36:51] This episode is like that if Mitchell then was allowed to take a shit in the rice pot. So if you think about it in that terms, if you would like to have seen Mitchell take a shit in the right spot just to be, you know, petty about the whole thing, then this episode is for you.
Tara:
[37:01] Uh-huh. Mhm. Yeah.
Dave:
[37:09] It was fantastic. I enjoyed it very much. All right. Shall we put this to the official vote?
Tara:
[37:14] Yes.
Dave:
[37:15] All right. Tara Ariano, what say you?
Tara:
[37:18] I also loved discovering that they had to let the show, this franchise lie fallow for a few years. This was like 2023, right, Richard? Or 22?
Richard:
[37:28] Yeah, it was a little while ago.
Tara:
[37:29] So, there isn't going to be a season three until like next year because I think probably people were like so blown away by this one that they had to like take a knee. Anyway, yes, obviously. Great presentation.
Dave:
[37:40] All right. Sarah, can you give your vote in under forty five seconds?
Tara:
[37:43] All right.
Sarah:
[37:45] Jesus Christ. Yes, I can, and yes, it should go in the canon.
Dave:
[37:49] All right, me too. So The Traders, Australia. What do they do? Seasons or series over there? Nobody knows. It's probably something crazy like Chum Wazars. Episode 9. You are hereby inducted into the extra. How great can you explain?
Clip:
[38:09] Americans love a winner. Yup. And will not tolerate a loser. Nope.
Dave:
[38:14] By the way, speaking about Australia, I still get Getting to get my report card on the Australian City Pronunciation Challenge from the extra extra hot great.
Tara:
[38:21] Oh, yes. Mhm.
Dave:
[38:23] All right, well, you know who you are. It is time to discover the winner and loser of the week. Sarah has this week's winner.
Sarah:
[38:29] Ba-ba-ba-ba Brisbane! Just kidding. It's Ballard, a member of the Boschverse, and it has been renewed for season two at Prime Video. This was actually. Kind of a longer delay than fans were used to. They generally like renewed it for the next thing when the first one dropped. On Amazon, but better late than never. I think it's not as good as the parent show, but it's pretty good, and I'm glad it'll be back Oh, yeah.
Dave:
[38:53] And loser of the week, please.
Tara:
[38:55] Loser of the week is anyone, I guess, who buys the 4K makeover that Beverly Hills 90210 just got for its 35th anniversary, which I guess, if that's the math, we missed our book aversary. Our book is also five years old now. Go buy it. A very special 90210 book. Anyway. So I guess it looks better, but there's no indication. And I got a press release about this before they wrote it up on, oh no, they didn't, which is where I got this from. But like nothing in it says they've replaced any of the original music. Like as far as this. Indicates it's still all the same like bad sub-music that you get on the DVDs. It just looks nicer. And there's also no word of whether this version is going to. Stream in its entirety because apparently, in the later seasons, there's so many episodes missing from Paramount Plus because of music rights that, like, there's no point trying to watch along. with Jenny and Tori's podcast nine hundred two one O M G, which by the way you shouldn't. You should just uh pay us five dollars and t we'll recap it for you. But anyway, this sounds like a huge waste of money. If you already have the D V D's, it seems like you're fine. And the efforts to restore all of the original music Still have not come to fruition, so maybe for the forti anniversary.
Dave:
[40:03] Well, speaking of boat not coming to fruition, do you know what time it is?
Sarah:
[40:07] Game time. It's game time.
Dave:
[40:19] All right, everybody, it is game time. This is the seventh of the current season. Our scores are buckle in because we got fractions: Tara with two and a half points, Sarah with one and a half points, Value Guess with two. Today, we are playing 30 Under 30 from Mike Seifert, who earns himself an extra credit topic of his choosing, plus a free shirt from the EHG store that is available at ThroughMethods. com. Mike writes, I have a list of thirty actors. For each one, your goal is to name a T V series in which that actor has appeared in under thirty episodes. For each actor, all three players will name in turn a show they think fits that bill. Everyone has to name a different show. We'll rotate who's first. That'll be our pecking order. Best Answer, meaning the show for which the actor has the most IMDB credits without going over thirty credits, is always worth five points.
Tara:
[41:15] Oh, okay.
Dave:
[41:15] And then there's buckets as we go down. We got answers that were three or two or one. I won't bother with the buckets right now, but trust me, I have them all ready to go. These are price's right rules. So if you go over, no points. If the show only has one credit, that also doesn't count. We're not talking about mini-series, only shows, no voice acting. So live-action appearances. All right. This is a very recently created game, so all these numbers are still accurate. Here's an example for you guys: Jared Harris. The five-point answer for Jared Harris would be foundation, for which he has 29 credits right up against the line. That would get you five points. That is the show that he's been in the most, but still under thirty. The Terror, he's only been in ten times. That would get you two points. The Crown, six times. That would get you one point. You would get no points for Answering Madmen because he's over thirty on that one. No points for Chernobyl because that's a mini series.
Sarah:
[42:13] Mini series.
Dave:
[42:14] All right, let's throw it to Picky to see who is going first.
Sarah:
[42:15] Got it.
Clip:
[42:21] We will start with Terra.
Dave:
[42:22] All right, so we're going to go Tara, Sarah, and then Richard. This is basically who is picking a show first in each round. This is called 30 under 30. I'm not sure how long this is going to take, so we may cut it at 15 and play the second part.
Clip:
[42:34] Like I want to rock to make a move, I want to rock Cause I make a whole breakout.
Dave:
[42:35] Next week, let's see how it goes. But are we ready to try 30 under 30 now?
Tara:
[42:40] Yes.
Dave:
[42:40] All right, we are starting with Tara. You will go first, but Sarah, you're going to go after Tara, and then Richard, you're going to go after Sarah. Our first actor is Ted Danson.
Tara:
[42:52] How did I know I almost said it out loud?
Dave:
[42:56] What is the show that he has been in the most episodes yet still under 30 episodes is the challenge.
Clip:
[43:02] I won't go out to the makeup to go out on it.
Dave:
[43:03] I'll have all of it laid out in the chart. So you'll get either five, three, two, or one, or maybe zero point star.
Clip:
[43:10] I won't know.
Tara:
[43:10] Okay, I have a guess and I'm this is risky because I think this might be thirty exactly, but I'm going to say it anyway. Bored to death?
Dave:
[43:17] Born to Death is our five point answer.
Tara:
[43:20] Woo Oh, okay.
Dave:
[43:21] Only 24 episodes, though.
Sarah:
[43:21] Nice.
Dave:
[43:23] So yeah, on to Sarah, what is your guess for Ted Danson?
Sarah:
[43:26] Uh Fargo.
Dave:
[43:28] Fargo is in our two-point bucket.
Sarah:
[43:31] Fargo Oh, yeah.
Dave:
[43:32] That is between 10 and 19 episodes. He was in 10 episodes of Fargo. Richard.
Richard:
[43:36] I'm taking a chance here. I think I'm going to beep out, but damages.
Dave:
[43:40] Damages, good answer. That is not our three-point bucket. That is something in the 20s.
Clip:
[43:44] Cut up and move.
Sarah:
[43:44] Wow, nice.
Dave:
[43:46] And he was in 23 episodes of that.
Richard:
[43:49] Nice.
Tara:
[43:49] Just for my own curiosity, is he over 30 for Kirby Enthusiasm?
Dave:
[43:53] 34. No points.
Richard:
[43:54] Oh, wow.
Tara:
[43:55] All right.
Dave:
[43:56] All right, let's move on. Sarah will guess first for Gene Smart. Gene Smart.
Sarah:
[44:00] Oh yeah, oh yeah, her under thirty episodes, she says, doing some maths.
Dave:
[44:02] So a show she's been in, but under thirty episodes.
Sarah:
[44:13] I'm gonna guess Fargo again.
Dave:
[44:15] Fargo is good, but only one point. That is in the single digit bucket.
Tara:
[44:20] Ah, okay.
Sarah:
[44:20] Oh, yeah, okay.
Clip:
[44:20] There's a man coming to hope.
Dave:
[44:21] Nine episodes. To Richard.
Richard:
[44:23] Ah, this is probably dumb, but twenty-four.
Dave:
[44:25] Twenty four is our five-point answer twenty-five episodes of twenty-four All right, Mayor of East Town is good for only 1.
Tara:
[44:27] Woo Wow, Mayor of East Town.
Clip:
[44:28] There's a man coming to the boat.
Sarah:
[44:28] Oh, wow, so good.
Clip:
[44:32] So mom, don't do that.
Richard:
[44:32] Cutting it close.
Clip:
[44:33] I'm a teacher, it's a big one.
Dave:
[44:39] 7 episodes.
Tara:
[44:40] Okay, I'll take it.
Dave:
[44:41] All right, now it's Richard's turn to go first for Margot Martindale.
Clip:
[44:43] It's a magic Is a big company I don't know, don't do that.
Dave:
[44:46] Margot Martindale. Going to let you in on a little secret on the spreadsheet. There are no three-point answers.
Tara:
[44:53] No. And no voice performances, so don't say the Chicken Sisters, Richard, even though I know you're a huge fan.
Dave:
[44:57] Yeah, yeah, or Bojack Horseman.
Richard:
[45:00] Well, I mean, I'm a fan of everything I write, Tara, but thank you. No, I actually have a friend who writes for that. It's a good show.
Tara:
[45:06] I love it.
Richard:
[45:06] Anyway, yeah, no, it's, yeah, I will.

Tara:
[45:09] Tell your friend they're a genius.
Richard:

Dave:
[45:13] Justified is our two-point bucket answer. Ten episodes. Tutar.
Tara:
[45:20] Oh, it's down as one. I'm going to risk it. The good wife.
Dave:
[45:25] The Good Wife is a two-point answer, 13 episodes.
Tara:
[45:29] Okay, I'll take it.
Dave:
[45:30] Our five-point answer is still on the board, Sarah. If you get it, I'm going to give you an extra five points because there's no way you're getting it. I shouldn't say that, but we're not going to get it. You're not going to get it.
Tara:
[45:40] Print him wrong.
Dave:
[45:41] Prove me wrong.
Sarah:
[45:42] Well, if I can just pull the name, I just feel like I was the only person that even watched it.
Dave:

Sarah:
[45:55] Too many. Fuck!
Richard:
[45:57] Oh no What's that maple syrup show?
Sarah:
[45:58] I'm just so glad I pulled it and didn't have to list a bunch of actors and then still not pull it, which is usually what happens.
Dave:
[46:04] Any other guesses for our five point answer twenty episodes of this?
Tara:
[46:07] It's not the good fight.
Dave:
[46:09] Oh, it's not the sticky.
Tara:
[46:10] That was only six or eight, I think.
Dave:
[46:11] No.
Richard:
[46:11] No.
Dave:
[46:12] Sticky.
Richard:
[46:12] No.
Dave:

Tara:
[46:15] Also, oh the riches.
Dave:
[46:18] Yeah, long time ago.

Tara:
[46:34] Parks and recreation, I guess.
Clip:

Dave:
[46:35] Parks and Wreck is a two-point answer.
Tara:
[46:39] Okay.
Dave:
[46:39] She was in eleven episodes of that.
Clip:
[46:42] Cause I'll make up to the boat.
Dave:
[46:42] Sarah D. Bunting.
Sarah:
[46:43] I don't know who Natalie Morales is, so Benson.
Dave:
[46:45] Okay.
Clip:
[46:46] I won't go back.
Dave:
[46:46] Benson. She was not in Benson.
Richard:
[46:51] Choose in a hundred episodes so you don't get it.
Clip:
[46:53] I won't go back.
Sarah:
[46:53] Yeah.
Dave:
[46:54] All right, Richard, Natalie Morales.
Clip:
[46:57] It's a big up to the book.
Dave:
[46:59] No.
Richard:
[46:59] The show where she's a bartender, but I don't know the name of it.
Tara:
[47:02] Oh yeah.
Richard:
[47:03] Um yeah, it was the sitcom couple years ago.
Dave:
[47:04] The show where she's a bartender.
Clip:
[47:04] It's a big up to the book.
Richard:
[47:09] Geez, I might have to kind of pull a Sarah here and just kind of guess something or just name a random show.
Clip:
[47:10] Like I would rack up like I would make Don't give a move.
Richard:
[47:15] Is she on what is it called? The The the Kate Hudson show playing the game or whatever.
Dave:
[47:22] Oh, running time or something like that?
Richard:
[47:23] No.
Sarah:
[47:24] Oh, yeah.
Richard:
[47:25] Yeah, yeah. Wit oh, yeah, sure.
Sarah:
[47:26] Running point.
Richard:
[47:26] I don't know. Winning time.
Dave:
[47:27] Winning. No, that's no, that's the other one.
Tara:
[47:28] No running point.
Richard:
[47:28] I don't know.
Sarah:
[47:29] Wait, she played Magic Johnson.
Dave:
[47:30] Running point.
Richard:
[47:30] Running point.
Dave:
[47:30] All right.
Richard:
[47:31] Thank you.
Dave:
[47:32] We're going to allow that guess.
Tara:
[47:34] Was it the middleman?
Clip:
[47:34] It's a week old till we don't know that we can go and There's a big hole to the boat.
Dave:
[47:35] Yeah, the middleman is a show that she was in for two points.
Tara:
[47:37] Uh-huh.
Dave:
[47:38] She was in 12 episodes of that. So nobody guessed the number one five-point show, Trophy Wife, 22 episodes.
Tara:
[47:44] Trophy, wife, she was the friend Sure.
Richard:
[47:45] Um Oh, God.
Dave:
[47:46] One episode less for the Grindr. We also had a lot of shows in the two and one point buckets: Gray's Anatomy, The Middleman, White Collar, Parks, and Rec. Santa Clarita Diet, and she was also in five episodes of 90210, the reboot.
Sarah:
[47:55] Graze Hmm.
Tara:
[48:02] The Ritzio Wanya.
Dave:
[48:03] Yep. Two episodes of the newsroom, Tara.
Tara:
[48:05] Yeah, and four episodes of the morning show I'm seeing here, so she really ran the gamut.
Sarah:
[48:06] Oh, it's a pity.
Dave:
[48:06] Your favorite show ever.
Clip:
[48:08] I'm not going to let you get away with that.
Dave:
[48:10] Yep. All right. Sarah, you're going to start us off with Stephen Tobolowski.
Tara:
[48:16] Oh, God. Good luck to us all.
Dave:
[48:19] I'm going to let you know there are two five-point answers because he's been in two different shows for the same number of episodes.
Clip:
[48:20] Come to the boat, and the ball is coming.
Dave:
[48:26] There are no three-point answers.
Sarah:
[48:27] Uh um one day at a time reboot.
Dave:
[48:30] One day at a time, forty-six episodes.
Sarah:
[48:33] Too many? Oh, geez, I did don't think I knew it had forty-six episodes.
Dave:
[48:39] All right, to Richard, Stephen Tobelowski.
Clip:
[48:43] Can the book and the barcode and the bar It'll make up to you.
Richard:
[48:43] I don't know. I'm just going to go. He seems like someone who would be on a David Kelly show. So Boston Public.
Dave:
[48:49] Boston Public.
Richard:
[48:49] I don't know.
Dave:
[48:50] He's in so many one-point answers here. I actually have to scan down Boston Public. Nope, I'm seeing some cities, but I'm not seeing Boston public. Tara.
Tara:
[48:59] I know he was in more than one episode, I think, of New Adventures of Old Christine.
Clip:
[49:04] It's a weak old It's a big up to the book, and the ball is a big up to the book.
Dave:
[49:04] New Adventures of Old Christine is good for one point squeaking in with two episodes.
Sarah:
[49:09] Wow, good job.
Tara:
[49:09] Woo Oh, Deadwood, sure.
Dave:
[49:10] Wow, that was the low score. Okay, Deadwood nine. That's also.
Sarah:
[49:14] Oh, Deadwood, duh, fuck.
Dave:
[49:17] Let's see what else he was in the Mindy project.
Tara:
[49:19] Right.
Dave:
[49:20] Two episodes of SVU, Sarah.
Tara:
[49:22] Sure.
Dave:
[49:22] He was in 11 episodes of Heroes, 10 episodes of something called Dweebs.
Sarah:
[49:22] Okay.
Tara:
[49:24] Wow. Mm mm.
Dave:
[49:28] And then our five point our five point answers were Mr Rhodes and Silicon Valley.
Tara:
[49:28] But that tracks.
Clip:
[49:31] Like I would rack up a rock I want to let you know.
Tara:
[49:34] Okay.
Dave:
[49:35] Yep.
Sarah:
[49:35] K Sure.
Richard:
[49:35] Sure.
Dave:
[49:37] Let's go back to Richard to start off with Dylan Baker. Dylan Baker. Yeah.
Richard:
[49:44] Okay, I'm in a lot of order.
Dave:
[49:46] Law and Order original Reyes. Original Raise is good for one point in which he was in seven episodes playing. I'm gonna guess seven different characters.
Tara:
[49:55] Mhm.
Dave:
[49:56] All right, Tutara.
Tara:
[49:58] The Americans Oh, yeah, damages.
Dave:
[49:59] The Americans is worth two points. He was in 13 episodes of The Americans. Our five-point answer is still on the board, Sarah.
Sarah:
[50:07] Ah, the good wife.
Dave:
[50:09] The good wife, two episodes as a one-point answer.
Sarah:
[50:15] I'll take it.
Clip:
[50:15] I want to let them get a rock.
Dave:
[50:15] Big jump from the two-point bucket, no three-point answers.
Clip:
[50:18] It's a big up to the book.
Dave:
[50:19] So we go From Kings, the Americans, Hunters, and Damages. Those are two-point answers. Skip to five points. I thought Sarah might get this one because it is murder one.
Clip:
[50:26] It's a big up to the boat.
Dave:
[50:29] Murder one.
Sarah:
[50:30] Oh, yeah.
Clip:
[50:31] Like I want to rock and make a move like I want to rock and make a I want to get a watch.
Sarah:
[50:32] Okay.
Dave:
[50:32] All right, Tatara. C C H Pounder.
Tara:
[50:38] That's a tough one because she works a lot and it's not the shield because She was a series regular, I'm pretty sure. But that was a cable show, so it might still be under 30. I guess I'll say the shoe.
Dave:
[50:50] Not even close.
Tara:
[50:51] Damn!
Dave:
[50:51] 88 episodes.
Tara:
[50:52] How many?
Dave:
[50:53] 88.
Tara:
[50:54] Fuck.
Dave:
[50:54] Yep.
Sarah:
[50:54] Holy shit ER Ooh, yeah.
Tara:
[50:55] Okay.
Dave:
[50:55] Sarah, your best guess for CCH Pounder.
Clip:
[50:56] It's a big old kill. I don't want to go like I want to get a watch.
Dave:
[51:00] ER, good guess. That is a three-point answer, twenty-four episodes.
Clip:
[51:03] It's a big cold tear.
Dave:
[51:05] There is one show that's less than thirty, but more than twenty four. Can Richard name it? CCH Pounder.
Richard:
[51:11] Um I am just going to guess the closer.
Dave:
[51:15] The closer is not on this list.
Clip:
[51:18] It's a makeup, it's a major.
Richard:
[51:20] I didn't think so.
Tara:
[51:20] Seems like the kind of thing that would be, though.
Dave:
[51:20] Okay. Yeah, I had to double check there. All right, NCIS New Orleans, 155.
Clip:
[51:26] It's a makeup Like I want to rock a rock to make Cause I make them to the lake on to the whole thing.

[51:31] Four episodes of Cop Rock.
Sarah:
[51:31] Holy shit. Oh, right, Coprock.

Dave:
[52:11] American horror story Way too many ninety-five episodes All right, so we're two, Richard.
Sarah:
[52:14] Too many, yeah.
Tara:
[52:17] Damn.
Sarah:
[52:18] Oh, shit, okay.
Dave:
[52:21] Sarah Paulson is your actor.
Richard:
[52:23] I'm taking a flyer. I think I know she was on one of the seats, the old WB shows, so I'm going to say Jack and Jill.

[52:35] That had thirty-three episodes.
Tara:
[52:36] Seriously, I never would have guessed it, guessed that.
Sarah:
[52:37] Gorgeous.
Dave:
[52:39] To pull Jack and Jill and not get points on it. That's sad. All right.
Tara:
[52:44] That's rough.
Sarah:
[52:44] Yeah.
Dave:
[52:44] Tara, no points yet for this one.
Tara:
[52:46] Yeah, the only the first two that I thought of are both a limited series, so I'm gonna have to say my backup, which was Law and Order original.
Clip:

Dave:
[52:56] A law and order original nope.

Dave:
[53:25] All right, this will take us into a score break. Richard will be leading us off with Walton Goggins. Walton Goggins, episodes under 30. Is what we're after. There are no answers in the three-point bucket. Nothing between 20 and 29 episodes that isn't the number one answer.
Clip:
[53:40] Cause I make a moment.
Richard:
[53:43] I mean, I'm just going to go for a safe eight or something, the white lotus.
Dave:
[53:47] The white lotus is eight episodes.
Clip:
[53:47] Cause I make a lot of money.
Dave:
[53:50] Yep, that is worth one point to Tara.
