Who's very talkative, like me. And a girl who eats nicely, has a very nice big old smile. Witty, charming. I got a weakness for brunettes. Someone who is able to have a back and forth conversation. Polite, respectful. That one's not. He loves the renaissance. There's like 8 billion people in the world. Somebody's gotta be the one for me. Finding you. I love when they make out. I love when they make out. Videos are bad. The makeout sessions on the Love on the Spectrum are so weird. Can feel like an impossible dream. I'll find my prince. I'll find my prince. I'm hoping for sparks. I want her to be a party animal. This series follows people on the. And then the one in Australia is by far the best. Oh, she's back. The crazy one. The crazy sex fiend. She's like some. There's a sex fiend one. She makes good money. She's like some kind of programmer. Yeah, she does cartoons and like animation and stuff and programs computers. And she loves the idea of making out and having sex and stuff. And she goes out with these guys and just blindsides them with how to kiss. And then the one time she's like, this is how you do it. It's like eating a cupcake. And she makes them practice on this cupcake and then when they've got dirty cupcake mouth, she turns and they start doing it to each other. I gotta watch this, man. Oh, this show's so good. Watch the Australian one, okay. And become addicted to the guy named Michael, who is one of the funniest people I've ever watched on tv, whether he knows it or not. Hilarious. That was Hulu or fx? Netflix. Netflix on that one. Yeah, Netflix on that one. So good on Hulu Friday night, Michelle Williams is starring.

She decides to leave her Husband begins to explore the full breadth and complexity of her sexual desires for the first time in her life. So she's dying and she wants to go out and get. She leaves her husband too. No, Like, I would get close. Like, you know, when it feels like a little sneeze. Like, I don't. I'm not sure. This looks like a WNBA video. Well, you don't like her haircut? I'd like to try that. Yeah. Yeah. So her husband could not please her, but now that she's dying. I haven't done anything with my life. I know it's cheesy, but everybody has a bucket list. I've never even had an orgasm with another person. Good. We have something for your list. Orgasm with another person. That's. That's her goal. Broad show. Enter into dating app. You're immunocompromised. And I'm sure the guy on the other end is like, oh, you just go get whatever it is you need, darling. Right. He's not upset at all. Dude leaves. Dude leaves his wife because he just got diagnosed with cancer. To hose as many broads as possible isn't a love story that women will love, but when it's. When it's reversed. Yeah. A girl leaving her house. He's just not good enough for me. Here you go, girl. Yeah. It's an empowering. But a dude's like, you know what? You've never done it for me. Really, physically, I'm gonna hose as much as I can while I'm dying. And there's no way the writer would ever say that. The woman goes, you go do whatever it is that makes you happy. The Handmaid's Tale season six debuts. It's the final chapter in which June's unyielding spirit and determination pull her back into the fight to take down Gilad. I can't remember how to pronounce that. Lisa watches that show all the time. Meanwhile, Luke and Moir are officially joining the resistance. I don't know what's going on on this show. You've been afraid of them. Pretty good show. Now it's time for them to be afraid of us. We need to hold those terrorist rebels accountable. They need to be reminded who they're dealing with. We can't just let them win. Matey's working on a plan to kill extremist commanders. If you want to fight. Yeah. I don't know what's happening, but I know it's. Everybody loves it. Everybody loves it.

That's just playing Minecraft and they're live and it's like Jumanji. Yep. Sort of. Yeah. I'm not sure how you get into the world, but wow. Anything you can dream about. Kirby's actually had a little resurgence in it. Like her first friends are playing, they're doing little groups, but they're. They're killing each other. I'm talking life here was perfect until one day flint and steel is just like Jack Black's. Over the top has not. It's just now I don't want to watch it anymore. That's all. I got morning sickness.

I just can't imagine that show gets received the same way if the genders are reversed. Yeah, guy wants to hose broads like crazy instead of just fall in love with his wife all over again. Which is what would be the one that makes money. The other one is probably the truth. All right, Brett, what do you got? All right, I'm light as well, so. But we'll start off with this one. New stuff from Elton John and Belinda Carlisle. What? Oh, who believes in angels? I think they're on Saturday Night Live this weekend together. For real? Yeah. Don't need to laugh so hard.

Enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity. LA Guns saw them with Cinderella or what's his name. Yeah, that's Tracy Guns there. They were terrible. The Tracy Guns Vers. Yeah, just live. They just sounded awful. I don't know if it was their fault of the sound, but when the Cinderella guys came on after, it was drastically different. It's one thing to keep the sound, but the look of the 80s. Tracy looks okay. This lead singer. That's terrible. And that brings us to N Word or F Word. The game that is sweeping the Nation.
