A Micro-Targeted Custom Diagnosis Of Pain

Jason Kirk (0:00)

Have y'all seen this Green Lantern TV show that Matt Rolls on?

Michael Surber (0:02)

Yes.

Jason Kirk (0:03)

Yes. No, I have not seen it. I haven't seen any of it.

Holly Anderson (0:06)

That was a hilarious jump scare.

Jason Kirk (0:07)

I will be honest, I had really no, I'd seen people saying, like, Lanterns is good, like, it's a show of people, blah, blah, blah. It's one of many, many shows people watch. I had no idea it was even, like, a DC Comics thing until after Matt Rolls was on it.

Spencer Hall (0:20)

You just thought it was about various methods of illumination.

Jason Kirk (0:23)

Yeah, it's just like, I don't know, it seems like it's about some small town or something. That was, like, where, you know, I guess they made lights. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Michael Surber (0:31)

You are right about that.

Spencer Hall (0:33)

Yeah, it is.

Jason Kirk (0:34)

But, yeah, Matt Roll is a Hollywood actor now on a show that, and reading up on it, I haven't still watched any of it, but it does sound good enough to actually catch up on. There's so much Nebraska football in it, apparently.

Spencer Hall (0:48)

A ton of it, like, yep.

Holly Anderson (0:51)

Navy football makes a brief appearance. Florida State football is mentioned.

Michael Surber (0:56)

Michigan football, I believe, also mentioned.

Holly Anderson (0:59)

There is a Michigan hat in there.

Spencer Hall (1:02)

Yeah, I had not seen.

Holly Anderson (1:04)

It was real funny. I saw this episode like hours after we talked about Matt Ruhl on After Dark on Saturday night.

Jason Kirk (1:15)

Yep. And I was like, I was catching up on, apparently Coach Eric Taylor, Intergalactic Space Cop Coach Eric Taylor, is at one point grilling an alien suspect on like Bob Tevaney and Frank Solich.

Holly Anderson (1:32)

There is so much more in this.

Michael Surber (1:34)

Yeah, technically.

Holly Anderson (1:37)

That's his Turing test or not Turing test, whatever the alien version of the Turing test is.

Jason Kirk (1:43)

Turrain, there's got to be a farming term here.

Holly Anderson (1:47)

The Terra test since all Earth.

Jason Kirk (1:49)

Teraf's test.

Michael Surber (1:50)

Yeah.

Spencer Hall (1:52)

Someone failed that one.

Jason Kirk (1:54)

The creator who also did Ozark is from Oklahoma, Tom Kingman, the co-writers who did the Supergirl book that the movie fucked up, has like family from this exact middle of nowhere in Nebraska town. So this is all like super central, legit place of love type stuff. The Green Lantern said, do you know who Frank Solich is? Not exactly like that, but basically.

Holly Anderson (2:17)

I jumped out of my skin when that happened. Yeah, this is an eight episode, eight or nine episode season, series, and Nebraska football comes. Oh my God, oh my God, I didn't tell you guys, I never mentioned this to any of you guys because like it's, I think it's because Godfrey hadn't seen it yet and so I just didn't think to mention it to anybody because I didn't want to spoil him. But at one point in, like this is like nine episodes, nine episodes of television, Nebraska football shows up explicitly in like four of the episodes. Like it's not just a toss-off thing, but at one point, like early on in the series, this is, I think this is when he's talking to the same, when he's questioning this same alien and he's like, swear on the, it's played for, it's played for a laugh, but he's serious. He's like, swear on the life of Frank Osborne.

Jason Kirk (3:06)

Yeah. It's like Tom Osborne or whoever it is you people worship or something.

Holly Anderson (3:11)

Yeah.

Jason Kirk (3:12)

No, no, no, I know. Yeah. Like that's an incredible, it's an incredible, like, I know who Tom Osborne is. Here I am. It don't know. Holly knows who Tom Osborne is, who like, I wasn't preempting you, I was preempting the Internet. No, I was telling them as well in case they would don't. Hey, Internet.

Holly Anderson (3:28)

Hey, Internet.

Jason Kirk (3:30)

They will. But like, the presentation of Tom Osborne as a potential deity, like, these people get the state of Nebraska just fine.

Holly Anderson (3:38)

And like, it wasn't, it wasn't quite the, and I'm not saying that this was said with the amount of intensity as in the Nolan Batman when the guy's like, I swear to God, and Christian Bale's like, swear to me! But it was with the same tone, like, it was that exact rhythm, if not quite as holly.
