Big Mac has just shown me a trailer for a new thriller to come out, a new movie called Primetime. And I was excited because I'm like, I'm a big Deion Sanders guy.
I want to see the Deion Sanders movie. But it's not about Deion Sanders at all. It's actually about Chris Hansen to catch a predator.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:17)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:18)
I'm gonna watch it.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:19)
I used to watch that show all the time.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:21)
It looked like a different kind of movie. And it definitely, I wouldn't say I was a fan of the show.
I was aware when it was as popular as it was.

**Craig Carton** (0:30)
Yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:30)
But it looks like it was interesting behind the scenes.

**Craig Carton** (0:35)
As if to say that maybe Chris Hansen's not a great guy?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:38)
I don't know. It's hard to judge because it's a movie trailer.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:41)
I know why the show stopped.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
Because there was a politician in Texas or something that got caught up in one of the raids.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:47)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (0:48)
Or like the fake thing, whatever it was.
It took his own life.
And then all of a sudden people are like, Oh my God, you gotta stop the show. People killing themselves. Meanwhile, is there enough sex for like a 13 year old? But that's what canceled the show on Dateline. Then I think he's done it on like the social media version. Yeah. But I'm going to check it out.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:07)
Robert Pattinson plays him. And just from the trailer, yeah, he seems like a little bit of a dark figure in this movie. Oh, is that right? A little bit.

**Craig Carton** (1:16)
So I wonder if they did it, they didn't do it to show the great work he did, I guess.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:21)
I don't know about expose him, but there's definitely a dichotomy of the people they're exposing, how they're doing it. And I don't know overall, just like what went on to have this. It looks like the people who are involved in the show aren't don't feel great about themselves. Got it.

**Craig Carton** (1:37)
OK, interesting. By the way, you said a word there and you know, we have a rule in the show have for a long time. Don't do it. You can't use the word if you can't spell the word.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
Then I can't use it.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
No, no, you didn't use it. We've eliminated. Well, I'm going to need you to spell dichotomy.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
We've we've eliminated dichotomy.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Well, you have to give it at least the old college try.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:53)
I don't have to.

**Craig Carton** (1:54)
No, you do have to. I don't have those are the rules you signed up for. It's in your contract. And don't help them in there. Ray Ray, I see you helping my guy.
He's all right. He's a big boy.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:04)
No, I'm a terrible speller. I haven't used it. I think I put out that I'm a terrible speller. Whatever.

**Craig Carton** (2:09)
We have a rule on the show. There's not a lot of rules. One, dumplings every day.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:14)
OK.

**Craig Carton** (2:14)
Two, Ralph's Italian ice once a week. Three, if you can't spell it, you can't use it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:21)
That's a silly rule. No, because we could do this every day.

**Craig Carton** (2:25)
Not with me. You can.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:26)
Sure you can.

**Craig Carton** (2:26)
Dichotomy, go.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:29)
FWXY.

**Craig Carton** (2:30)
No, no, don't be that guy.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:31)
I guess I didn't get it.

**Craig Carton** (2:32)
Don't be that guy.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:33)
You take away all the fun.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
I'm taking my boy home. You guys didn't pick me first.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:37)
ZI.

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
Yeah, and Ray helped you already, which pisses me off.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:42)
Yeah, but I'm real. I tell you, I don't know how to spell dichotomy.

**Craig Carton** (2:44)
So give it a shot. Dichotomy. You said it. You used it correctly.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:49)
So then why can't isn't that enough? Because my vocabulary is better than my spelling.

**Craig Carton** (2:53)
You need to be able to spell words.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:54)
I don't have to. No, you do have to.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:56)
The job doesn't require that, believe it or not. It requires some sort of, some sort of, some sort of, some sort of.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:01)
Dichotomy.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:02)
Some sort of vocabulary, but it doesn't require me to spell those words.
