No way. Oh, it is?
I love that. Look at that. Yeah, and my mother was a big All My Children watcher. Of course. Yeah, that's right.
I think she ended up finally.
Erica Kane. Great character. Erica Kane.
Go ahead. It's so funny that you asked me that because I was about to answer that question without you asking. That's crazy. I have a reason though. Were you going to say, what do I watch when I'm on the road? Yeah. Well, I'm obsessed with Sevens right now.
Yeah, but the thing is that I was triggered because you said, and she was in the break room, and my immediate thought wasn't about a break room at work. It was the torture chamber in Sevens.
There's a whole thing. Oh, yeah. I'm deep, deep in it. Actually, their podcast that you mentioned has been so fascinating to me. Yes. Not only did I sort of, I rewatched the show along with the podcast, which was great. But beyond that, beyond the show, you learn a lot about like filmmaking and casting and creativity. Like you learn so much about like the crafts themselves.
associated with making a film, you know, like the artists that make, you know, the different things that they use, the props that they use. Like, it's really fascinating to, particularly with Ben Stiller, the detail that goes into creating this world. And, you know, every now and then just... You just get a perfect combination of cast and story and director. And I think this has the potential.
Obviously, plenty of shows have disappointed long term. Agreed. But currently, it has the potential to go down as one of the great shows of all time, in my opinion.
Yes.
Yes, it takes three eps.
But it requires, it's a complicated story, and it requires those first two eps. But the thing is that even in the first two eps, Yes, there's a lot going on, and it's a bit slow, and you're trying to figure it out. But even within those ebbs, you're just in this insane world that is just fascinating on its own.
It's so visually stimulating. It is. And mentally stimulating to try to figure out what's going on.
Oh, yeah. This is a controversial show.
It's received differently in different communities.
Now, I have to tell you that I know Jerry Adams, and I have interviewed him. What? Yeah, so I'm going to go on the record right now and say that... It's a bit of a hit job on Jerry Adams. And I'm not saying that some of the, like, The Troubles was very complicated. Of course. Say Nothing is about a very complicated time in history.
And there's a lot about what they're- For those of us that don't know, what is it about? Okay, so let me just get- Oh, I'm sorry. We need five episodes, man. Give me your take. Give me your take first.
Yeah, sort of, but it's so complicated. Right. Honestly, really people just need to see it because what happened to Gene McConville is like a real tragedy. There's no... One of them missing. What Say Nothing does well is it shows just the tragedy of... society breaking down into violence and how really nobody is safe from that.
And that the morality as we know it in like peacetime gets extremely complicated, right? What Say Nothing does terribly is it kind of suggests that certain injustices, of which there were many throughout Irish history, and many throughout the microcosm of Irish history, which is the Troubles, there were many injustices.
In the end, like, why does one injustice get more attention than another unless there's a political motivation behind it? Which is, in my opinion, is dangerous because if you know the history... It's better to watch, so I'll just give this sort of, like, take for the end of it. If you know the history, right, ending the Troubles was very complicated and it took a lot of political will...
