In the other corner, we have the baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2026. Who will win, the old man or the baby? [00:00:34] Speaker B: I think they need to do an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch for that.

I saw an adult hitting a kid and the new knives out, and that was enough for me. [00:00:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, man. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Did you watch Wake Up Dead Man?

[00:01:09] Speaker B: Recaptured a little bit more of the coziness that I liked about one so much. [00:01:13] Speaker A: Yes, it's a different flavor. Yeah, I liked it. I thought Josh Brolin was great. I thought Josh o' Connor as the. The young priest was excellent. [00:01:20] Speaker B: He was a good priest. Yeah. Fucking, man. [00:01:23] Speaker A: You ate that shit up. You Catholic? [00:01:24] Speaker B: Yeah, it was amazing. [00:01:27] Speaker A: I thought it was good. [00:01:27] Speaker B: Oh, man, I fucking loved. It was Glenn Close, right? [00:01:30] Speaker A: Yes. [00:01:31] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, I loved Glenn Close. She was awesome. That was a good thing about 2025, because, you know, this is the. This is the end of the. Or maybe the year ended. It's now 2026. Jenny. Very exciting. [00:01:41] Speaker A: Wake up, Dead year. [00:01:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, no, don't. You could stay. Stay dead. Please. [00:01:47] Speaker A: I mean, this year wasn't. Wasn't so bad, I guess. It was pretty bad. [00:01:50] Speaker B: It was also kind of good. Weirdly good. [00:01:53] Speaker A: Places a lot of change in my life, so I. I enjoyed it, I guess. [00:01:56] Speaker B: It was a lot. That's what it was just. It was too much. [00:01:59] Speaker A: A little bit of everything all of the time. [00:02:01] Speaker B: I could have used, like, 70% of a year. Would have been. Yeah. Right amount. [00:02:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Josh Brolin was good. [00:02:08] Speaker B: Josh Brolin was good. Josh Brolin has been good in, like, three or four things that I've seen in a row. I'VE seen him in a lot of stuff recently. [00:02:14] Speaker A: Yeah, I like the guy who played the sci fi author. I don't remember the actor's name. [00:02:17] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, and. Oh, I've seen him in a lot of stuff before, too. Wasn't he the hot priests from. No, he wasn't. Was he the hot priest from. What is it, Fleabag? [00:02:30] Speaker A: Fleabag, Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. I've never seen him before. Like, the first time I've seen him. And is the hot priest. [00:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, he's the. He's the. Yeah, he's the priest in Fleabag. Yeah, that's him. [00:02:43] Speaker A: Okay. [00:02:45] Speaker B: I also believe he was in Sherlock. [00:02:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, wow. I saw Avatar 3. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Oh, nice. [00:02:51] Speaker A: I saw two threes. I saw Knives Out 3 and Avatar 3. [00:02:55] Speaker B: Oh, nice. Now you just need to find episode three, Revenge of the Sith. Need to watch that. [00:03:03] Speaker A: We watched that this year, David. [00:03:05] Speaker B: No, we watched that last year. Oh, yeah, we did watch last year. It was last year. Because it's 2020 as of the record. [00:03:12] Speaker A: We watched it this year as you're listening. [00:03:15] Speaker B: Yes. [00:03:15] Speaker A: Because what this is. Everyone, this is not a full episode. This is a special New Year's message because we deserve time off as well. Yeah. And despite what you might believe, it takes a lot of time to record and edit an episode of this. Despite what you may believe. [00:03:32] Speaker B: It's. It's fun, though. It's a thing. [00:03:34] Speaker A: It's fun. Yeah. No, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying people are like, oh, they just talk. It's like. No, there's more to it than that. This dog growling, evidently. Yeah, well, you're editing this, so. [00:03:46] Speaker B: Hey. Oh, boy. If I had to. If I had to edit out every dog growl that happens on this side of the recording, we wouldn't have an episode. [00:03:56] Speaker A: It wouldn't. [00:03:57] Speaker B: It would be. It would just be Johnny talking to the void. It would be like those Garfield without Garfield strips. John Arbuckle having an existential financial crisis, screaming, yeah. Oh, boy. Breaks is good, Johnny. I like not doing work. It's fun. [00:04:15] Speaker A: I do, too. Most people do resolutions. I don't want to. [00:04:20] Speaker B: Well, why? Why? We could have one resolution, Johnny, and that's to have more spanversations in 2026. [00:04:28] Speaker A: I agree. More spanversations. Hopefully my life will mellow out a little bit and we can get on track with guests and things like that. [00:04:36] Speaker B: That would be. Would be. [00:04:37] Speaker A: It's been a little hectic for me. I mean, David, you're welcome to take that over at Any time. What? [00:04:42] Speaker B: Your life. [00:04:43] Speaker A: No. [00:04:44] Speaker B: Okay. [00:04:45] Speaker A: Booking gas. And I won't be. I won't be mad. Yeah, no. It's been a good year. [00:04:51] Speaker B: I should pull my weight around here. Pulling my weight. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Pull your weight? You're. Pull your weight. You bake. The episodes. The episodes are posted every week. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What else did I watch? Oh, I watched. Did you watch some Christmas classics? [00:05:06] Speaker B: I watched Dimmond Otter. I watched the Grinch with Jim Carrey. I can't remember how you fall on the Grinch with Jim Carrey. Are you a pro? Are you an anti. [00:05:15] Speaker A: Don't like it. [00:05:16] Speaker B: It's a polarizing piece, Johnny. [00:05:18] Speaker A: It's like a six out of ten for me. [00:05:20] Speaker B: I. I like it. I like it. It's. [00:05:22] Speaker A: You just love Ron Howard. You like Solo a lot, too. Another Ron Howard joint. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Solo wasn't bad. [00:05:30] Speaker A: Solo's better than Rogue One. Everyone loves Rogue One. This is my big secret. I fucking hate Rogue One. It's a boring bad movie. Andor's great. [00:05:39] Speaker B: Andor's great. [00:05:40] Speaker A: Yeah, Rogue One sucks. [00:05:43] Speaker B: I disagree. But, well, you know, we know that. We know our Star wars opinions are often like the old man and the baby at odds. [00:05:54] Speaker A: Right? Just like. Yeah. JB Pritzker loves Rogue One. That fat fuck. [00:06:04] Speaker B: Oh, that's a great way to start the new year, Johnny. [00:06:07] Speaker A: Calling up the governor of Illinois. [00:06:09] Speaker B: Calling him out. Calling him out especially for his Star wars opinions. [00:06:13] Speaker A: He's like the dinosaurs. Like the baby. I'm the baby. Gotta love me, baby. [00:06:18] Speaker B: Sinclair. [00:06:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:20] Speaker A: No, it's. We're gonna have more episodes. We're gonna have more fun. [00:06:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:25] Speaker A: And this is going to be a good 20, 26. [00:06:27] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm excited for it. Gotta see where it goes, Johnny. There's only way, one way to find out, and that's to do it. To boldly go where no Spawn has gone before. Although I guess technically, Spawn's gone there. [00:06:41] Speaker A: This is our fourth year of the podcast starting. Yes, I know. We started in, like, August or whatever. This will be our fourth year that. [00:06:48] Speaker B: We'Ve been existing because we've released four Christmas episodes at least. So that's good. Way to keep track. That's true. Well, happy New Year, everybody. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Happy fucking New Year. As long as you Spawn. It's hard to keep up with. We're doing the best we can. [00:07:04] Speaker B: I've resolved to read more Spawn this year. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Always, always read more Spawn. [00:07:09] Speaker B: I look forward to seeing the new covers every week. They're fun. Well, let's get everybody out to their new year. Having A good big breakfast. [00:07:17] Speaker A: Hope you have a nice relaxing for the first time. Eat breakfast, have a donut and then go to the gym. [00:07:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, go to the gym. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Don't be sad. No, no, no. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Go, go to the gym, then have the donut. Because then you don't want that. [00:07:30] Speaker A: Have a donut, then go to the gym, then have another donut. [00:07:32] Speaker B: Oh, that's even better. I like that idea. Have a donut. [00:07:35] Speaker A: Have a donut, Go to the gym. Yeah. [00:07:38] Speaker B: You could do it the Homer Simpson way where you've got like the, the donut on a stick and you're running.

I guess they're both in diapers, aren't they? [00:08:00] Speaker A: You're the baby, I thought. But Tom's not here, so one of us has to be the old man, the baby. I'm more baby looking.
