1:02Something very unsettling happened to me last night. I'm going to share it with you guys. All right. We'll go behind the curtain there. But right now it's time for this. Another addition of things in his track. All right, friends. Before I get to this picture, I want to send you guys. Or did you all watch DTF St. Louis last night? No, I did. You did. Okay. You guys watched it. I'm just saying, sorry. You're, hey, you're, you're, you're why in my segment. Oh, okay. And I got it. So I got home kind of late last night. And I did watch John Oliver first. And I fell asleep halfway through it, not because I didn't think it was good, just because I was so effing tired. So I did not, I saw about half of it. We don't have to add like the pacing is real strong in the middle of that episode. It slows down to just, we're crawling after about the first 20 minutes. Well, I had seen, uh, I enjoyed it. I had seen Jason Bateman on Jimmy Kimmel. And he's basically talking about, you know, the David Harbor character dying very early.

2:06So he's like, there's no spoilers here. It's in the first 25 or 30 minutes. So I kind of made it to the point where he's, they're starting to investigate him and all that. And then they pull in, uh, Jason Bateman, because there's connections and all this. But there's two things that stuck out to me that I wanted to ask you guys about. Number one. Okay, David, hub, uh, Harbor put on some weight for this. I almost thought it was a prosthetic belly, because there was an image where it didn't look to look real. You know, I'm sure he probably just put on the weight. But there was one time where I was like, is that a prosthetic belly? Jim Kerry belly. Right. We've talked about this. There's prosthetic anuses. There's prosthetic dogs. So much prosthetics. Man, it's so good. Because he's hugging his stepson who hates him. And his stepkins go, I can feel your skin. Like I can feel your belly, your shirts right now. How can we don't have clothes that fit? So good. It reminded me of a meatloaf and fight club that, that hug scene and fight club. But anyways, man,

3:06I've very much thought that David Harbor and maybe he's done other roles like this. And I just haven't seen him very much thought he was channeling John C. Riley. That is a John C. Riley character to a T. There's been about 20 movies where John C. Riley has played that guy. And I've never seen Harbor play that guy. Sloppy. Just like he's little beaten down. He's a little timid. I mean, he's getting bost around. But he's afraid to ask his stepson to stop throwing rocks at a house. He's just like, like if you've ever, I know Ben has seen this. You guys have probably not seen Magnolia. The John C. Riley character in Magnolia. He's a cop with no authority. And he's just, he's just sad. He's just a sad man. And he wants to please everybody. But anyways, I don't know. Have y'all ever seen David, David Harbor played that type of guy? I haven't seen him in that much stuff, really. I've seen him, everything I've ever seen. He's been some sort of a cop or some sort of a bad-ass guy. Sloppy at times and stranger things. Does he? But, yeah, no. Who is the gal he was married to?

4:07Why not a writer? David Harbor? Oh, he's talking about in real life? Yeah. Lily Allen. Lily Allen. And they broke up, right? Yeah, because of his sex stuff. Okay. Yeah. And now he's in a TV show about sex stuff. He was wanting an open relationship and all kinds of stuff. Oh, yeah. That's kind of what's going on in this show. It's not going on. Okay. All right. I have said it was weird, by the way. DCF St. Louis. Okay. The pilot episode was very strange. So I saw Jason Bateman on Kimmel. Like I was saying, he was something about the creator, Steven Conrad. And I went and looked and I wasn't familiar with this guy's work. But he's done a bunch of independent stuff. And he had done Patriot, which a lot of people like. That's it. That's the one with the song. There's a singer. Okay. Yeah. That's the only thing that on his resume that I had heard of, but I never watched it. But on Kimmel, Bateman was talking about, man, I don't really know how to describe this show, because it's kind of funny and it's kind of a drama and it's got a really weird tone.

5:08But to me, that's like what a lot of a Cohen brother stuff is. Yeah. You know, sure. Like Fargo's really funny, but it's only funny because it's got weird actors in it and weird characters. It's dark and sad. Yeah. And also, how do you describe the tone of the chair company? Oh, I don't even know where to start. That's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in my life. It's like Ben looked off to the distance like he's still struggling with it. It's a mystery for sure. Yeah. Are you guys excited for season two? I am. Yeah. I mean, not really. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen on TV. I haven't finished season one yet. I just say it has the say. It's different, but it has the same kind of effect on people that David Lynch stuff does, where they're like, okay, this is this is good, but man, this is weird. And I don't know why I feel the way I feel right now.

6:10I just think when you're thinking about it five days later and you're ready for Sunday night to come, so you can watch it again. That's to be the sign of a really good show. It stays with you. It does. And it just makes it confuses the hell out of you, but it stays with you. I can't get over Scrooge. I don't understand. Yeah. And even even just the shock value of showing a prosthetic dong, but then to show engagement, things happening. I was like, what can you do that? I don't know if you can do that at the end of the middle episode of season two. I don't even think you might know where this thing's going. And the great thing is I still, I guess Christina hasn't reached that part in the series. Nope. Will she ever know? I mean, all right. All right, there you have it. There's things again is tracking. Coming up next KT, we're going to take us in entertainment headlines. I went on an adventure to Fort Worth on Saturday night. I need to tell you all the CD details about it next on 971, the Eagle. Hey, it's Bubba Wallace from 2311 Racing. You know what feels like forever? Sitting on a plane waiting for takeoff.
