Hey, guys.
Welcome to #TableTalk.
I'm Elliott Morgan.
I'm Philip DeFranco.
I'm Meg Turney.
Let's dive in.
Meg, choose the first topic and then
that's what we're going to talk about.
OK.
[INAUDIBLE]
They know what #TableTalk is by this point.
Guys, this is like the politics thing all over again.
Awww.
It's a reunion.
We should keep it all political.
Ewww.
That didn't-- no.
All right.
Armance says-- [SPEAKS GIBBERISH].
If someone genuinely loses their memory,
should they be punished for past crimes?
OK.
Their memory?
Yes.
Here's the thing-- they still committed the crime.
Like even if you don't remember it.
I agree with what you're saying, first of all.
But to throw this out there-- why do we punish people?
Do we punish people-- or why do we imprison people?
Is it because we are trying to keep them from society
or are we trying to rehabilitate them?
So I think the reason is supposed
to be rehabilitation and a deterrent
to people that have yet to commit crimes.
As an example.
A deterrent, yes.
OK.
But, I think, you could say, at least in America's case
that rehabilitation has failed.
Yes.
Sure.
Absolutely.
Massively.
Yes.
So would you say, though, then, if you
imprison someone who has forgotten their crime,
you're essentially imprisoning someone
who is already rehabilitated, because they have no memory?
Right.
Well, we don't know if they're rehabilitated.
They could have forgotten what they
did but still be the person who's inclined
to commit a crime.
Yes.
Maybe their own case would be their future deterrent.
So there you go, yeah.
Genius.
We just solved the American criminal system.
Congratulations.
Thanks, guys.
Memory loss.
I think we killed that one.
Yeah, I think we just--
We succinctly answered it.
Slam dunk.
America.
Madi Bold says, having lots of tattoos.
Attractive or tacky?
I think like most things in life,
it depends on your specific situation.
Yeah.
It's very individual.
You know, I have this thing, and it's a really bad thing,
but like girls with tattoo sleeves--
Sleeves.
I don't know if it's like the antithesis of like what I am,
because I'm not like a tattoo guy, who
like goes to the parlor and hangs out--
What?
Tell me more.
I mean, it's a shocker.
I want you to be like, I'm not, and then
pull your shirt down and have like a sweet chest--
Oh, can you imagine?
That'd be so great.
But yeah, like a girl with a tattoo sleeve, I love them.
I think they look awesome, typically.
Sleeves?
And tattoos on girls generally speaking and guys as well.
Now myself, personally, I don't--
You would never?
--plan to get one.
Never ever?
No?
What about you?
Oh, well, I have two, and I love tattoos--
I think they're super-- they can be great or bad.
They're like-- it's hot or cold, because they can be super sexy,
or you can be like, oh, I can't see anything
but your crappy Yosemite Sam tattoo.
And I can't get passed it.
Yosemite Sam.
There's no way that'd be a crappy tattoo.
Yosemite Sam's awesome.
I think the thing is-- it looks like, at least from tattoos
I've seen, it's really easy to mess up color tattoos.
Oh yeah, well, you know.
Well, no, but that's with a single color, right?
Well, yeah, but I was allergic to the single color.
So that happened.
Five years ago in my life.
Yeah, that's why we had to redo the entire color is originally
it was all bright red.
And then because my body rejected the red ink,
and then like scarred over it, I had to have it redone.
Because it looks like you got half a regular tattoo,
and then you were like, I don't have any money,
so you just cut into your skin.
Well, no, because right now-- I got it
a week ago, or a week and a half ago, so it's still healing.
But we used a different brand of red ink
that I'm not allergic to.
We did a test patch.
So it will heal like a normal tattoo.
Wait, you tested it like you're coloring
furniture or something?
Yeah, no, we did.
We literally did.
When I got my thigh tattoo, we colored in one pixel
and left it to see if it would react or not.
So is it going to be embossed like that?
No, well, it won't be raised like that.
It's still healing.
It'll sit flat.
But when I originally got my tattoo--
and I have photos that we'll put up that are gross.
It like completely--
Yes
--reacted and turned light purple.
And it looked like a scar.
It was horrible.
So if it's your first tattoo, don't go red,
because you might be allergic to it.
Yeah, but I'm trying to think.
Other tattoos.
I'm not necessarily all about the sleeve.
The one tattoo that's very specific that pisses me off
is the stars on like the ankle.
That pisses me off.
You mention it-- I feel like some girl kicked you
in the face with stars on her ankle,
because you've mentioned it a few times.
I mean, it should be noted that it was also
the girl I lost my virginity to.
Oh.
But I hated them before I had sex with her.
So.
Well.
I'm so detached from life now at this point,
that if see those tattoos.
I'm just like, [LAUGHTER].
You made a terrible decision.
Straight amusement.
I've never wanted more in my life to take off my shoe
and be like, what now, guys?
And have like the stars on there.
Do you feel awkward?
Also, tattoos that lead to any sexy time area,
I'm a big fan of.
Yeah.
But, I think, like if a girl that doesn't have
tattoos, and it fits her, like her personality, I love it.
I like how we're not even mentioning *** stamps now,
which is good.
Right.
I feel like they've kind of like bled out.
But people really--
Except for people with *** stamps.
Well, I think it's more ironic now.
Yeah, it is, totally.
But I wouldn't want a ironic *** stamp.
Yeah, you don't want an ironic--
Oh, you got a *** stamp?
Dude, it's ironic.
It's ironic, bro.
Anything you have to explain is like--
That's like the butt on the butt tattoo.
Have you guys seen that?
It's like super meta.
I've seen the "your name" that Steve-O has, from ***.
Oh yeah.
No, this is like-- we'll put up a graphic-- it's just
a super simple drawing of a butt on a guy's butt.
That's great.
Oh, I have it backwards.
OK.
Abion Eden, or @chiomee47m said, would you rather a world
with no color or no music? #TableTalk.
Uh, no color.
Oh, that's deep.
Solid.
I'd go without music, honestly.
Yeah, I'd go without music before I'd go without color.
Really?
That's like, would you rather--
Are you sure?
Are you sticking with it?
--be blind or deaf?
You know what, I need to talk to CJ.
Because CJ is actually, amazingly, our animator
who does lots of color work is color blind.
Wait, really?
What?
Yeah.
Just red-green?
We'd have to bring him in.
I don't know.
I don't feel bad for him if it's just red-green.
If it's just red-green, he's got to get over it.
Merry Christmas, bro.
He was talking about like flesh tones look different to him.
Stuff like that.
So it might be just red-green.
Well, like my dad's red-green colorblind,
but it affects a ton of different colors.
Like whenever there's a storm watch in Texas,
he's like, which-- are we the dark green?
I don't-- everything is-- it doesn't look right.
I can't figure out if we're like, we should be panicking.
I need to know, should I be boarding up the windows?
Or are we good?
I don't know.
That's funny.
But, yeah, music, no matter what.
Even when I'm in office, I feel uncomfortable if I
don't have music playing.
That's true.
Like that's why, if I lost my headphones, I'm like,
y'all *** are listening to this today.
Must have.
I feel like I'm a real sucker for sunsets,
though, and especially in southern LA,
and being from Southern California
and being from Florida, so I would have a hard time
listening to music while I stared
at a black and white sunset.
Very depressing.
That's true, but, I guess--
Everything's more romantic.
That's true.
Everything's like an old-timey movie.
Until it's super depressing.
Yeah.
There is no beauty in the world.
I can't go on.
There is no beauty.
All I have is my Elliott Smith.
Bobby Parham says, #TableTalk is binge viewing the new norm?
Le marathon viewing the new Arrested Development.
Did I just-- I think I had a stroke just now.
Burned toast smells so yummy.
So is marathon viewing the new thing.
They reference Arrested Development.
So here's what happened with--
I had a stroke.
--this thing.
Is it the new norm?
I mean most of the series I've watched recently,
I've marathoned through.
Ever since, probably ever since I've had a Netflix account.
It changes everything.
Because, otherwise, you'd normally
have to go out and go get a giant DVD box
set, and it'd be like $50.
And then I'm like, wait, I can just have any device,
and I can watch pretty much any show that I missed out on.
Yes.
I don't know if it's necessarily the best thing, especially
for Arrested Development.
Like I think even the creators for Arrested Development
were like, please don't marathon.
It's too much.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah, they came out and said don't watch it, it gets tired.
They were like, take it a bit at a time,
because it's so involved.
Arrested Development-- I love the show-- but like,
it requires you to-- it's like work.
And I was listening to this interview with Tony Hale,
and he was saying-- who plays Buster on Arrested
Development-- and he was like, the problem with something
like Arrested Development is like people don't
want to invest in comedy like they invest in dramas.
So like, I'll sit there, and I'll
watch House of Cards or whatever,
and I'll take a break.
I'll come back and watch it again.
Arrested Development, though, you just
want to consume it immediately.
Right.
The first show I ever marathoned through was Lost.
And then it got me though.
That was only because Lost ended every episode, being like,
you have to watch the next episode.
Right.
That was probably the last one that I did the DVD box set.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love marathoning though shows.
And I actually broke my cable box like two months ago.
It just died.
My DVR just died.
Just won't turn on.
It was like, no more.
No more, Meg.
Are you OK?
I thought I was going to be a lot more upset,
but I still haven't called to have it fixed, because I'm just
using Netflix.
So it's like, I've realized that I can just,
like whole movies I went all the way through.
House of Cards.
I just finished Arrested Development last night,
and it's true, if you watch more than two or three,
you're like, OK show, you've got to like turn it
off a little bit--
I had the exact opposite.
I marathoned through it.
I felt like the only way I was going
to enjoy it was by marathoning through it,
because there are constant references that kick back.
Right.
And even like after you finish the 15 episodes,
it's kind of good for you to go and watch the first two again,
because otherwise, because the first two then
go from sub-par to OK.
Yeah.
Because they are definitely the weakest ones.
That's good to know.
That's all I've see so far.
But House of Cards, too, I watched the whole thing
in a day and a half.
Oh, wow.
No, I did it over like a week and a half,
but it was still like I was watching
two or three episodes a day, but I
wish that series would release all at once.
I hope this like pushes people to try and release their series
all at once.
Because I like the idea of not waiting for Game of Thrones
to come on.
Because--
It's not going to happen though.
But the waiting's fun, though, because you
get to have the you wait the week, and then you're like,
oh, I got to wait another week, and it's fun.
But there is also the question of like the fallback, right?
So Arrested Development, it all came out at once.
Will people be talking about it in one month?
Yeah.
That's true.
I mean, Netflix stock, I think, yesterday dropped $14,
because I think people were worried
that Arrested Development might not
have been as well-received as it should have been.
Really?
I have not heard a single bad thing
besides like the first couple episodes, like you said.
First couple episodes, yeah, but I mean,
I'm just talking about the stock market.
Yeah.
Just in terms--
I don't think that's the demo they're going for.
--whether or not people are signing-- Well, I don't know,
the critics said it's really good.
Yeah, I think that's part of another thing,
with like the Arrested Development.
There was so much buildup-- just Arrested
Development in particular-- so much build up,
and it was just like, meh.
And like Hemlock Grove, which is Netflix's
other original series.
It came out around House of Cards.
House of Cards is boss.
Hemlock Grove, awful.
And I marathoned all the way through it.
[INAUDIBLE]
Yeah, it was the wolf--
I watched the first 20 minutes, and I
was like, I think I'm going to chill out.
I know that it doesn't even get into any of the plot.
And I'm just like, no, I'm good.
No, I watched the whole thing.
I was like, it's going to pull it out like House of Cards.
It's going to be great.
No.
It's bad.
I'm sorry.
You're cute, boys who are on it, but you're just
not doing a good job.
You're cute, just so you know.
They're all right now, yes.
Yes.
I just spilled drink on myself, because that's
how I feel about it.
Oh man, I think that's what we should go out on.
Yeah.
Is that how you view things these days?
Do you marathon through it?
Do you want that to be the future?
Or you kind of like that you get a little piece of something
and then you have to wait for it and that's
like the best thing about it?
Or no, not at all.
I don't know.
Those are your options.
Let us know.
A, B, and C, down below.
Those are the only options.
