I need sports to have to clear the room.

Stand up and walk now.

Hello, welcome to The Watch.

My name is Andy Greenwald.

I still have no official title at the ringer.

But I'm joined by someone who does.

Kaya McMullen, welcome back to the big chair.

I promise you we're working on it still.

Maybe like three years from now.

What do you think my title would be, person most desiring parking validation?

We love to call people a talk strategist lately, so like I think we could probably grab you one of those.

What do you think my talk strategy is? Show up a little late, unprepared. Talk a lot. Watch like three trailers before we get going. Just did. Yep. Well, just to bring people up to speed, I have to sit in the big boy chair today. It's not very comfortable for me. I'm not wearing enough layers. I'm not wearing a hat. But Chris is continuing his drinking tour of the East Coast, and we miss him dearly. but thank you for stepping up. We are going to talk about a bunch of headlines, some new stuff. And then later in the show, I will be joined by Eric Kripke, who is the showrunner and developer of the Amazon series, The Boys. The Boys will be ending next week. So we're talking to him in anticipation of the finale. We haven't actually done that interview yet, so I can't do that thing where I say what it's going to be like. But I think it's going to be pretty good. I think it'll be nice. And I will let people know, I intend to have the first part of the interview be generally spoiler-free because I am curious about what it's been like running the show essentially for a decade. It was announced in 2016. Yeah, I know. I was going to say, that's really rare these days. It's so rare. And he has gone through so many permutations of not just the show, but of the industry itself. So we'll talk generally about that, and then we'll pivot into some more specific things. And, Kaya, I wanted to join me for top chef talk yes you've been sidelined from these quick fires for too long i know

um i've made my way back from last chance kitchen you do you did you're back on the big show and now

you have to handle dessert just like rhoda okay but the first thing that i really want to talk about with you

is um this might seem like an after-dark thing, but I promise it's not.
