[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪

What's up, everybody? Hello and welcome to Popcorn Culture.

My name is Ben Carlin, and I am your host here with me today as my brother Jay,

who will be in every episode.

You know, man, I feel like we've fallen into a bit of a rut here,

where people are just sort of accepting, oh, and mass,

that like, you're the one true host or something.

Like, where's the shake-up, man?

You know, I feel like this has been your strategy all along.

Low people into a false sense of this is how it always is.

Boy, look, I mean, look, guys, it's not that hard.

All you gotta do is go over to the Patreon and vote for Jay-ZJ,

and we can have a different intro. It's as simple as that.

Is it as simple as that? It's as simple as that.

It seemed like for a hot minute there, things they'd been thrown into flux.

Yeah. And I do find...

I do find comfort in the regularity of knowing what my role ultimately will be,

because it really does dictate a lot of how I bring energy to the show.

Like, oh, you think so.

Oh, yeah, like when you're host, it's like, I'm a completely different person.

People don't always want to see Ken Barlin.

Ken Barlin, that's you. That's you. That's you, the host.
