A while ao No, I was green, I'm green, lime yellow? What colors are tennis ball? Kevin? Oh? You know what? That is interesting? Somewhere between green and yellow for sure. Well, if you if you made me say it, I'd say lime green. What are they gonna say online? What does

mister Penn say? Does doctor Wilson have an answer? Yeah, Chris Penn? Does Kevin Bridgestone have an answer for you? It's it? What's the color? Artenciple? That's a good question. Uh, I think yellow is what most people say. You think? Well, I asked you because it was a question. Didn't mean I had the answer, my boy. That's one I remember being single digits and having a long, long argument with my brother Richard Richard Cash s Roy how about that being yellow or green? What

about the dress? What was it was blue or gray? That was a lighting issue? All right, the dress is not gray. We've seen tennis balls under enough light to have some consistency fluorescent yellow in organized competitions. Okay, okay, Well, Jacqueline Kenney was your season one winner of the floor and she will join us fresh off of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars at

eight am, and she's doing it today. I was trying to push it to tomorrow because tomorrow I was going to sneak attack and throw Gene the machine from the floor on her mid interview, spook them find out who the real winner was. We break fox, okay, because if we proved that Jeanne could win, Yeah, that is the floor, then what is the floor? Did they face off against each other? No? I do not think so, but I could. I could get a floor stats dot com and

find out. You know, to the rest of the world, the floor had concluded and was in all of our rear view mirrors, and some folks were happy about that. Everyone everyone was correct about that. But to us, the floor is alive. I wondered that a lot. Trust me, it's still illuminated beneath our feet. Trust me, I've thought about that a lot. But then as I attempted showgun over the weekend, it's episode one. Got through episode one, see that's you gotta bad start episode one.

It's a lot of setup, but episode two weak, hate set up. Get me the why don't you put your dumb phone on a charger and your other it's off the phone? Yes, still whispering in the subtitles. Brother, I send so much energy everywhere else and I want to sit down and just really lock into some TV. And then it's just like and then subtitles up style and you're like, I'm reading and listening, I'm having to activate my senses. Well, I need someone to lotion up and go to town.

You just want to sit back, hands intertwined behind your head is entertained. Yes, make a joke, make funny me dumb the other thing though, the point is what you were saying with the floor mm hmmm. Consistently all week and long, And trust me, I spent a lot of time on Hulu this weekend. Consistently in the top three most watched shows on Hulu? Is that right? Weekend? Yes, so people are watching the Floor. Wait, you have like stats that show that it shows it on the

well just because it shows you that's Al's name is geared toward you. No me, I'm not watching Your machine knows that you love the Floor? No like you. It says us rated rated whatever it says, like Hulu popular right now on Hulu And I watched who on YouTube TV, So it shouldn't know what it probably does know, but it shouldn't know you watch the Floor on YouTube TV. Yeah, yeah, show gun on Hululus. I had to yeah, but yeah, so yeah, the four is popular and the

winner of it's coming. So I had questions. I had a bunch of questions. Were you allowed to study for other topics? Did we learn that it took two days to shoot that? I looked it up and it said three days. I think three days, okay, And that does beg the question of the same outfit, But it was continuity, like either you're going to pretend it's all kind of a one thing or not. But if you only change outfits every two days, and I think that to the eye is

more noticeable. You know where you start then thinking of all, right, wait, this is a different day. Also, your question from last week, Mike, thank you. Did you come in with one or did they have the list of here's eighty one areas of expertise? When top three? I thought of that that is the answer. They had one hundred idea to Yep, they all choose them because no one will walk in there and say, what's your expertise? Hobbies? Things, hobbies, things in a drawer,

things in a kitchen drawer is something that I'm really passionate about. No, You're like, I'll take it. I want to know if. Okay, So they had to wear the same outfit every time. It was a three day shoot. On day three, It's like, are you kind of concerned that maybe the the ketchup stain from your hot dog dinner the night before was going to show up on camera when you're wearing a tennis ball yellow short dress your craft services mishap, Yeah, okay, what if you do spill

an apple pie on your chest? An apple pie? What do you do? What did you have for idee? Stress ate an apple pie for dinner in the box? So like my kid, but also like, how long do you go without having to tell or how long do you go without getting to tell her? Anyone that you wanted her fifty thousand dollars. What happens if you do tell someone and it gets out. I don't know. Okay,

we are going to get over five minutes on this interview. You're right, dude, she's gonna bring it. You don't know that she's gonna bring it. She's got a pretty bubbly personality. She's taking off a sardonic wit. She's taken off out of town Tomorrow's that's what she's doing today. I was trying to push it to Tuesday because it was great to do a niche Monday, but she's going out of town. Kevin, that quartermill ain't spending itself in that money. You got a little broad before we get to weekend

crap. You mentioned apple pie and stress eating. Yes, And I don't like tell too many anecdotes about Malcolm, but this one's really funny. So we've been battling illness over like pretty much since Thursday, and he's on the

back end of it now. But his mom got sick over the weekend, and so her parents sent him or us them her whatever, A box of TIFFs streets, okay, A dozen cookies delicious, yeah, yeah, variety and I think that on Thursday night, before bed he had one and mom had one, So there was a box of cookies on the kitchen table. The next morning, they are both not feeling great, and he was up all night, you know, coughing and trying to and so he kept his

mom up all night. So she's on the couch the next morning and he's watching whatever TV, just trying to get through the morning until Friday. I get off work and can come pick him up. And I learned that she fell asleep on the couch for ten minutes oh, and woke up and his face was covered in chocolate? How many eight? Oh? My god. The funny thing about it. She showed me the box when I got to her house, and she opened it up and there were two cookies left.

And I go, Malcolm, how many cookies did you eat? And he looks at me. He says all of them? And I look at the two cookies that are remaining, and each one of those two cookies had one to two bites taken out of them. So he ate eight cookies and then realized, I guess I'm just full. I'm gonna try to eat the final two, but I am stuffed on cookies, And I'm telling you that Friday was one of the wildest rides with a sugar buzz cookie fuel toddler that I

have ever been. It was like hanging out with the worst bipolar human being in the world. All the highs were the best, but the lows were the deepest depression you could experiences. It was so wild. You have a Tom Tom nopened No, you never had any Tom tum issues. He didn't. He didn't have any unusually blasted pampers or anything like that. But dude, ate freaking eight cookies in ten minutes. Do you think he was You don't have like nanny cam DoD. No, you aware that mom was out

of course, And was he like I don't know how kids were? Okay? So was he like quietly doing the the wax paper separation in between the tiff treats layers and then like looking in the kids are looking at the diabolical manipulators. They're so sneaky. God. There they scheme really long term, think it out. Yeah, and at this age, I've learned they just

really want a reaction. They just want to They want there. They're pushing boundaries, They're seeing how far they can go learning what they can get away with and how you're going to respond. For example, walking down the hall with him, uh Saturday, change diaper or whatever. We're walking down and

sometimes he likes me to carry him. Most he doesn't, but I'm just carrying him and walking down my dark hallway and he leans over into my ear and goes the real words, goes F and s yes, because he's just trying, trying it. Yeah, and he's smiling and I can tell, and I'm kind of turning my head away, not just kind of ignoring him.

And then he grabs my face and pulls my ear to him and he goes F and s and then he grabs my face and forces me to look at him while he's looking me right in the eye with his huge grin, just waiting, what's dad gonna do with this information? That was a big information download right there when you locked eyes and I'm just I'm doing I am trying to be is just no personality, no emotion, no reaction, act

like it didn't even happen. And he just wanted to make damn sure that I knew you heard it, that I heard you heard me right, you heard Malkie, just to hear a two year old just yeah, that's shocking with a hard k in there, just like what, I don't say that in front of you. Where did you learn that? Mommy? He knows it's any record us. Yeah please. Oh I can't though, because he's gonna know. He knows that when I record things and see I play them

on the radio for Mikey and Cavo. So he hands it up a little bit and JJ. Of course he loves F word and S word. Can't because it kind of gives him, it gives him agency to continue it and I'm trying not to do that. But anyway, Yeah, it was cookie chaos over the weekend. Man eight Cookies agreed, how how how does this boy do it? Sheer will? Sheer will training him to be a competitive EATERO God eight Cookies. We talked about firehouse ride along options. I kind

of want to do the TIFFs treats right along. We were that the consistency is so good, How hot? How always hot, always hot, weirdly always hot, all the way up here on the floor, on our floor, been sitting there for at least ten minutes, more likely twenty. Do they have soroy Industry's car ovens and they're they have car tronk cartron car trunk oven trunk oven oven trunk. If you order them, you can just choose, you know, one cookie. But usually they're what they're really good about

is it's, you know, a pretty uh practical gift. They're good about the mixture. You can go through a box of Tift treats and most likely, unless someone was a simping just got chocolate chocolate chip, you're gonna find some chocolate chip. You're gonna find some M and M, some peanut butter, some oatmeal, chocolate chocolate chip, chocolate chocolate chip, some oatmeal, double raisin. So at this facility, they're just cooking up. There's cookies

on all these different trays. And how many are there, how many facilities are there in them just the metroplex. I think there's TIFFs Treats outlets, but they don't. They don't bake their cookies on site. I think they outsource their baking. But then I read that somewhere outsour restaurant. Just no, no, they outsource. It's there's a probably a giant warehouse or whatever kitchen that bakes cookies all day and the and they ship them to the Tiff

Streets outlets. They're not baking them on site from what I understand, and I'm sure they have warming ovens just like anywhere else that just keep them at a certain temperature. They give them to. Why is your pizza hot when the driver shows up? You know? Yeah, but that was me keep them in these bags that, you know, insulated bags and stuff like that. So yeah, I'm sure that they boxes do have metallic interiors. Yes, optimum seals in the deal. Fascinating. If you know anything about TIFFs

Streets, call in Hi. I'm Tiff Figasi. Later. I've been listening up the show for a long time. Let's have a week, y'all. Let's let's put our pads on our football pads on the fifteen yards behind the long snapper. All right, yeah, look left, look right, we're gonna show our hands already that thing. Guy's gonna wing that thing back fifteen yards and we're just gonna boot this week right in the balls, all right, kind of crushed February and then that guess what the week is going?

Oh oh, and it's got his knees buckle and his eyes are crossed and next thing, you know, when the week regains it's composure. It's already Thursday. Yeah, they have a chance to come back. And then one day and then guess what, We're back on the couch boys. And then on Friday, Sweet Release, Sweet Release. I think it happens when Kevin plays the news montage from the E Network. That's when we know we we're home. Plus, I can't get the littlest pirates, the smallest ones ever.

We got time for some crap. Let's do some crap, and it's now. Some crap happens over the weekend. We're going to talk about it down crap here. Let me go first real quick. Hello, I had Sweet Crosine at the house. She was kind of sick, like all weekend, I don't feel fine. I was been waiting for it to hit. I called her dumb, dumb. I'm like, why are you dummy? Who gets sick on the weekend. Wait till Monday, Yes, wait till Monday, and then hey, we'll see you Thursday, when this week's recovering

from the nutshot. We sent it on Monday morning, but she was hacking cough. But next to me, I was doctor Shale. All weekend run into consumer value stores, getting meds, taking care of her. But that said, I didn't ice. My ass was on my recliner forty hours this weekend. I it was a beautiful in a row? Did you no? But probably back to back fifteen hour sessions. I did nothing except open the front door, let the dogs out, be like god, GD, it's

beautiful out here, and then slam play. I did nothing. Literally, TV shows are video games a lot above. Okay, this girl loves me, and I don't know why. We've been wondering that too, dude for years now. It's weird. I will play a video game for our course and she's like into it. You know this is not real life. I don't know. There's I like watching people play video games too, if they're good. I'm not good. Yeah you are. You're better than most.

I know how to play them. Okay, fine, I don't. But the last time I was over at your house, I was like, hey, will you please play Call of Duty for me? All right? Fine? You wouldn't spend multiple hours of your forty eight hour weekend watching someone else play video I could watch Mikey play video games for sixty sixty to ninety minutes. Okay, yeah, Well, and I do make an entertaining for I make jokes the whole time. But I was playing Cea Thieves too. It's

that pirate game. The water is but beautiful, the water is amazing, and it's kind of these long adventures still the pirates into your house. It's sort of like, but anyway, it did absolutely nothing, but did take in Oppenheimer this weekend. Finally did it. Did it in two chunks. And I'll give you this tip. A nice spot is there's a big build

up in the middle to when they're going to test this thing. It's about an hour and forty forty five minutes through out of a three hour movie, and like the weather broke and they're like, the test is on, and then they do this drone shot or helicopter shot of that tower thing, and it's like pause and Christine goes, what we're finally here. It's what everyone says. I go, we'll be back in a couple hours. That's what everyone says. That's the breaking game. Oh really yeah, oh really yeah.

My buddy Kent, who does a Man About Movies podcast, I was like, that's the spot where you still amazing because I almost looked it up on my phone to try to find out where, like, where's a good spot to split this thing? Had no idea. I just did it right there. I'm like, this is a good dramatic moment. We're gonna pausea right here and then we ate and whatever, did some other stuff. We drank a lot of hotty Toddies. Yeah, and I wasn't sick. You

don't need to be sick to enjoy those good yeah. I mean it's still winter with yeah, exactly, tea honey and when whiskey. Yes, anyway, took an op and imer. I really love I loved it. I thought it was great. Yeah, it was good. There was a ton of like his communistic leanings in the obviously the court conversations. I mean maybe a little much of all that, but I thought it was I loved it. Big, big, big cast, a lot a lot of characters, a lot of huge characters that just kind of pop in a little bit,

like Remy Mallick, for instance. I'm like, wow, yeah, for a minute, is nowhere and then the Andy plays you know, a fairly stitifit part. I thought it was great. I get it. I get all the critiques and commentary, but I loved it. Did you feel like you had enough context of the details to to follow along. Do you feel like you were being introduced to a lot of information that you were like, I don't know, I don't remember this. This is a blind spot,

but it's it's not too complicated to follow. Before this came out, I knew the name. Yeah, I know the mission. Sure, that's it. I'm not going to claim that I had any real knowledge of Oppenheimer. So no, I most everything I learned. But Christina is great about this. We'll look it up afterward and check what's true and what's not, and you know it's Christopher Nolan said, it was all basically factual or accurate. I loved it. I thought it was great. Nice. Now do I

want to watch it again? No? No, anytime soon, maybe never, but I do want to see it again. I thought four dumplings. That's on the cables now, Kevin, did you do anything good? Yeah? Watching it for free on Hulu? Yes? Or che party? Uh well, I went to Andrew's Pizza Kitchen Friday night. Now to a party Saturday. Ended up in the midnight Rambler VIP lounge because the people party were friends with the people who were in midnight Rambler. So it got real drunk,

VIP lounge, back to back, go to bed after midnights. So you're at the high toned VIP section of the Basement bar and the Jewel Hotel. Yep, and me and Mikey watched TV and played Batari in our boxes all weekend. Get real drunk. I didn't have any drink. Good night, Rambler's cool. That's finally cool bars. I've been too downtown. I just don't know many the old fashioned record Saturday. You want to save whatever you gotts do it at the top of the You got s housed? Oh

I got s house? That a boy? Did you get trouble? No fucking mo artist to day guys, just gathering majia. Yeah, push pushed, push it. Second time. I've had to mow the spring. The grasses are growing right now. Mm hmm. But you know it's okay, it's good. Good weekend. I want to know what Danny had, because Danny's got special audio for us. Just a little thing I took in a

TV show that I don't know anybody that's watching it. Maybe one person on text kind of tipped me off on it last week, and I just missed it on the BBC originally. This we have shifted. Okay, you know what, here's the teas. We have shifted our focus of TV interest. From across that pond, we have now moved across the Pacific Ocean, going Japanese documental. I can't wait to tell you about this show that's on HBO. That is one of the best things I've seen in forever. And do this
