Ryan Dempster 0:21

Since you had Cube on yesterday and I'm on today, does that mean he was my opening act?

Matt Spiegel 0:28

Yes.

Vinny Rotino 0:28

Yes. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to own that. And she should. Did you know that Amy Trask's nickname is the Princess of Darkness? I look up to certain people in life.

Matt Spiegel 0:41

It's appropriate.

Vinny Rotino 0:41

She is one of them.

Matt Spiegel 0:42

She's a boss.

Vinny Rotino 0:44

Who doesn't want to be known as the Princess of Darkness? I love that. I admire her. Thanks to Amy Trask.

Which guests and producers are being thanked at the top of the show?

Vinny Rotino 0:51

Thanks, of course, to Clay Harbor, who provided us with much entertainment. Thanks to everybody who was a part of this one. We had a great time. Ray Diaz, Tyler Beterbaugh, Brandon Fryer, Peter Jurich, our intern, helping us out as well. Love talking to Peter. Thanks to Jamal Collier, who wrote a tremendous article on the Bulls, 20 sources. If you haven't checked it out, please do. Recommended reading. Thanks to Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis, and Cody Westerlin. Hello, Matt Spiegel.

Matt Spiegel 1:21

Hello, hello to Layla and Marshall. Jamal Collier is responsible for a lot of rage. Getting released by people who might have needed to release said rage. Layla, you're raising your hand. It's like if you weren't quite sure how much rage there should be, he's like, let me give you reasons to say your rage is justified. But it's also like anger right now currently, in fact, is my drug of choice. Really? I think it's my number one. Your hate fuels you. Well, sometimes. Okay. Like the thing that gets out of control. I see you, Anakin. Oh, boy.

Vinny Rotino 1:54

Anakin had the chance, you know. They had the chance to be really effective.

Matt Spiegel 2:01

He was the chosen one. I guess technically he still, it paid off being the chosen one.

Vinny Rotino 2:05

We can't do spoilers on Star Wars.

Matt Spiegel 2:07

Spoiler alert. Nope, nope. Well, my favorite thing about your Star Wars knowledge is that you love Chewbacca.

Vinny Rotino 2:14

From Star Wars.

Matt Spiegel 2:15

Right.

Vinny Rotino 2:16

As opposed to the other Chewbacca's.

Matt Spiegel 2:18

Chewbacca from A Princess Bride or something.

Vinny Rotino 2:22

Or, you know, Chewbacca from Get Smart.

Matt Spiegel 2:25

Yeah, right. Chewbacca from Hunt for Red October.

Vinny Rotino 2:28

Chewbacca from Analyze That.

Matt Spiegel 2:31

These are all very good Chewbacca's that you bring up. Speaking of Hunt for Red October, did anybody catch wind of the Alec Baldwin thing from the other day? Tani sent it to me. Alec Baldwin goes on social media ostensibly to honor Sam Neill, the late actor Sam Neill. Jurassic Park Sam Neill. Right, and he was in Hunt for Red October. So it begins with Alec Baldwin saying, I'm gutted, RIP to Sam Neill. And then it's a three-minute... monologue on Alec Baldwin's career and filmography and all the actors that were in Hunt for Red October and at the end he cycles back to Sam Neill for like a split second.

Vinny Rotino 3:08

So you used Sam Neill's death as a vehicle to... I would say that tracks... Everybody's always like, oh, you got to watch 30 Rock. You got to watch 30 Rock. And I watched like three episodes and I'm like, no.

How did the hosts react to Amy Trask and other “powerful Amys” conversation?

Vinny Rotino 3:19

Oh, really? Yeah. This is why. They just paint women as so, so neurotic and so self-centered on that show that I was like, this is not for me. Woman writer though. So she's talking about herself. I mean, Tina Fey's brilliant. There's no, I loved her book, Bossy Pants. So did I. I've consumed many Tina Fey media products, but for whatever reason, that one just wasn't. I don't know if it hit me at the wrong time and I got to go back to it or what.

Matt Spiegel 3:45

Look at me. I'm a fetch guy. So I'm all Tina Fey.

Vinny Rotino 3:48

She's brilliant. Like, I love most of her work. But for whatever reason, 30 Rock just set me off improperly to start.

Matt Spiegel 3:55

I think I stole something from Bossy Pants that I still think about where she was like, dear Internet. Yes. It just goes to write something in response to all the haters or whatever. Dear Internet. I do that. There you bring it full circle with the haters that you're addressing because hate fuels you. See? It's everywhere. How are you people? What was Amy Tresk talking about?
