Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Bobby here, Welcome to the Sampler. We're
Speaker 1: sharing highlights from some of the podcasts this week. Movie
Speaker 1: Mike spoiler free review of Kingdom of the Planet of
Speaker 1: the Apes. I love those Planet of the Apes movies.
Speaker 1: Caroline Hobby sits down with the brothers Hunt. They're very funny,
Speaker 1: they're great songwriters. They have a great podcast. On the
Speaker 1: Bobby Cast, Eddie and I go through a list of
Speaker 1: the most covered country songs, meaning the songs that have
Speaker 1: been covered most over all the years.
Speaker 2: Some of them I don't even know. I never even
Speaker 2: heard of them.
Speaker 1: Also on the Bobbycast, Alice Randall her book Her Career.
Speaker 2: She started her career as.
Speaker 1: The only black female songwriter in Nashville. So we got
Speaker 1: a couple cool Bobby Cast clips here. Let's go now
Speaker 1: with a clip from this week's Bobby Cast.
Speaker 3: Help me.
Speaker 1: When I do my stand up shows, I talk a
Speaker 1: bit about the history of country music, and I tell
Speaker 1: the story about how generately, we'll say generationally every decade,
Speaker 1: every fifteen years or so, in country music, the same
Speaker 1: argument of well that ain't country happens regardless, it's cyclical,
Speaker 1: it hapen, and anybody that I've talked to from Kenny
Speaker 1: Rodgers to Garth to they all will have the same
Speaker 1: story of when they came to talent and since they
Speaker 1: were a bit different, they were told that's not country.
Speaker 1: And so but what I rooted in and usually now
Speaker 1: I'm from a rural town in Arkansas, So I say
Speaker 1: this about other rural, semi uneducated white dudes who go, well,
Speaker 1: that ain't country. They have no idea that really what
Speaker 1: real country is is the combination of Europeans with a
Speaker 1: fiddle and the slave ships with string banjo. Like that's
Speaker 1: if you want to say what exactly is country, it's
Speaker 1: those black artists and it's those Europeans, and that's what
Speaker 1: got the music to the Hills to even start to
Speaker 1: be created. Like to me, that's what the original country
Speaker 1: music is.
Speaker 4: Absolutely and I would just add this one.
Speaker 3: Thing, Please tell me I love to love it. So
Speaker 3: it's a Celtic.
Speaker 4: English, Irish, Scottish ballot forms plus the black influences plus
Speaker 4: Evangelical Christianity. You need that, that the Black church and
Speaker 4: that belief in God in heaven because if not, if
Speaker 4: you don't have that, you may have a blues song,
Speaker 4: you may have a country blues, and if you don't
Speaker 4: have the black influences, you may have a folk.
Speaker 3: Song, and all of those are real.
Speaker 4: But I think you're so right, and it's important to
Speaker 4: know when we're arguing about what is country, we're really
Speaker 4: arguing about what is America, because country claims itself and
Speaker 4: is in some real ways America's music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like normal, there's no such thing as normal, but
Speaker 1: like common, hardworking people's anthems. And that's that feels like
Speaker 1: that's where it started because you're looking at immigrants, and
Speaker 1: you're looking at people that are forced to come here.
Speaker 1: And it gets no more hardworking than people who are
Speaker 1: are either forced to find into life or have to
Speaker 1: move from their old life because it's so hard.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, life is hard. Is one of the rules of
Speaker 4: country music. I love this not to get into the wild,
Speaker 4: but sixteen carriages to me, when I heard that song,
Speaker 4: I hear the relationship to sixteen tons, and I assure
Speaker 4: you that song, which is a country stone country classic.
Speaker 3: But I would go up in Detroit.
Speaker 4: These man black and white working on the assembly lines.
Speaker 3: They knew everything.
Speaker 4: About sixteen times. They weren't digging coal in a West
Speaker 4: Virginia coal mine or Alabama, but they were working assembly
Speaker 4: line that same way. Merle Haggard hungry eyes. This resonates
Speaker 4: across lives when people are living hard lives. Johnny Cash,
Speaker 4: I shot a man just to watch them die. All
Speaker 4: kinds of mothers have felt that same pain. Country is
Speaker 4: hard music for hard people, which is one of the
Speaker 4: things I love about it. And my four Country rules
Speaker 4: are what makes us on Country. Life is hard, God
Speaker 4: is real, the road, liquor, and family are significant compensations.
Speaker 4: And the past is better than the present.
Speaker 3: The third one is kind of funny.
Speaker 4: The road, liquor, and family are significant compensations for the
Speaker 4: fact life is hard and blues there's no significant and
Speaker 4: is it true? I read somewhere and sometimes you read things,
Speaker 4: aren't you That One of your first interviews was Darius Rucker.
Speaker 4: It was my very first ever Well I read that
Speaker 4: and one of the things I tried that song of
Speaker 4: his from Hooting the Blowfish, let Her Cry. That's a
Speaker 4: country song. That's he says it now, but I was
Speaker 4: saying because it has a prayer in it.
Speaker 3: His mama, it is.
Speaker 4: God in it that changes everything.
Speaker 3: Oh Mama, please help me, won't I mean?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 4: Get and this woman is about to go use drugs,
Speaker 4: but he is asking God.
Speaker 3: He's begging his God and mama.
Speaker 4: There is nothing more stone Country than asking your mama
Speaker 4: and God to help you get through something.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that too, because he's
Speaker 1: South Carolina right, a lot of it. And I think, again,
Speaker 1: you're you're the expert. So, but I've fe like regionally,
Speaker 1: even for me, growing up, before streaming music hit, you
Speaker 1: could really only get what was around music wise, so
Speaker 1: the influence was whatever's in the store or unless you
Speaker 1: sign up for one of those eight pennies for twenty
Speaker 1: CED deals and then you get like a Chili Pepper CD.
Speaker 1: But it was all country music all the time. So
Speaker 1: if you lived in South Carolina, if you lived like Darius,
Speaker 1: if you live in Arkansas like myself, Georgia, if you so,
Speaker 1: regardless of what music you liked, all that regional influence
Speaker 1: was built in. So when Hoodie comes down, they're a
Speaker 1: rock band. There's so much country influence because Darius is
Speaker 1: from Charleston, South Carolina.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and what's going on in those southern college scenes
Speaker 4: they cross pollinating through the sports teams, through the SEC.
Speaker 4: There is so much of that rooted countryness in that
Speaker 4: What was the goal when you started writing the book?
Speaker 4: What did you want to when someone finished it? What
Speaker 4: did you want them to have? I wanted them to
Speaker 4: have an understanding of how black, white, and Indigenous people
Speaker 4: came in together and built this thing we call country
Speaker 4: and that we love, and that it already has been
Speaker 4: baked into it these cross collaborations, and it's the cross
Speaker 4: collaborations that actually make it amazing. I also wanted to
Speaker 4: go back and celebrate. I think life is hard and
Speaker 4: God is real, and those are some real centered thing
Speaker 4: truths that we all be better off holding onto, in
Speaker 4: my opinion, right now. And I didn't answer your question
Speaker 4: when you asked me.
Speaker 3: Five years ago.
Speaker 4: I had got diagnosed with cancer and that's when I thought,
Speaker 4: I've got to do this book. I've got to tell
Speaker 4: this truth of what I've been researching for forty some
Speaker 4: years and how this, how this hard this music helped
Speaker 4: me get through that moment, had helped me get through
Speaker 4: hard moments before that. I love country music because country
Speaker 4: music has helped me get through so much with the years,
Speaker 4: and so many other people.
Speaker 5: Cast up little food for yourself.
Speaker 6: Oh it's pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful for a
Speaker 6: little more, said he you're kicking it with Full Thing.
Speaker 3: With Amy Brown.
Speaker 7: Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown.
Speaker 7: And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.
Speaker 7: If you were to sum up the talk and like
Speaker 7: an elevator pitch, we can do that here. I'm going
Speaker 7: to link the Ted talk in the show notes because
Speaker 7: I want people to go watch the entire thing, but
Speaker 7: just some highlights from it, and then also your favorite
Speaker 7: part of it, like if you could only pull one chunk, Yeah,
Speaker 7: what would it be.
Speaker 8: I have so many different versions of the talk and
Speaker 8: so many different notes, and one of the things that
Speaker 8: always stayed in the talk every variation was I believe
Speaker 8: that everyone has the ability to pursue all of their
Speaker 8: passions all at once. And that's really important to me
Speaker 8: because I feel like we're told do one thing, or
Speaker 8: stick to one thing, or stay in your lane, and
Speaker 8: I believe that we're meant to be doing other things
Speaker 8: and we're meant to kind of explore and be curious.
Speaker 8: I mean to have stay curious as a tattoo. And
Speaker 8: that's been something that Bridget taught me and I've always
Speaker 8: kind of stuck with that. Is, and I talk about
Speaker 8: this in my talk, that we push our kids to
Speaker 8: try everything, but then we don't do that for ourselves.
Speaker 8: And so I think that giving yourself that permission of like, Okay,
Speaker 8: I can do this, and I can do this, and
Speaker 8: I can like to do this, and I can do
Speaker 8: this for free or for work or for pleasure or
Speaker 8: for hobby, Like that's okay too.
Speaker 4: My favorite part.
Speaker 8: There's a few and I bring up a few different things,
Speaker 8: but I think, like the very beginning is really cool
Speaker 8: because I talk about being an immigrant and being Egyptian
Speaker 8: and I've never talked about that before. Really, the biggest
Speaker 8: thing with my TED talk was that it gave me
Speaker 8: a voice and it helps me find my voice. And
Speaker 8: it's ironic because I talk for a living and you
Speaker 8: get this, but like talking and then having a real
Speaker 8: voice is two completely different things. And that was the
Speaker 8: first time that I felt really aligned with I'm going
Speaker 8: to say the things that are important to me, and
Speaker 8: I'm going to talk about them, and I'm not going
Speaker 8: to be afraid of what other people are going to say.
Speaker 7: That's way. It's good you had the bathroom break down
Speaker 7: because you were you needed to get to where you
Speaker 7: were going to be up there doing what was right
Speaker 7: for you.
Speaker 8: And I tell you how funny that was. I was
Speaker 8: in the Delta Lounge bathroom, literally like locked in a stall, crying,
Speaker 8: like full blown panic attack, can't breathe, like texting treeses,
Speaker 8: so like can you come back and pick me up?
Speaker 5: Like all the things, and.
Speaker 8: The bathroom attendant every time someone would walk in, she'd
Speaker 8: be like they're all empty except for that one, and
Speaker 8: I'm like.
Speaker 7: Oh why not.
Speaker 5: Some woman's still in there. She's still crying, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: I know it was bad.
Speaker 4: It was bad.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 7: You needed to release and let it out. I mean
Speaker 7: some people have to do appointment cries where they do
Speaker 7: lock themselves in and like this is my moment to
Speaker 7: let it all out, Like gosh, it's the worst when
Speaker 7: you know that this would be such a good time
Speaker 7: to get it out and you feel like it could
Speaker 7: all go, but then you have to like suck it
Speaker 7: up because you can't cry at that moment, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 7: I feel like this is just like wasted. This could
Speaker 7: have been very therapeutic, and now I can't do it,
Speaker 7: So I'm gonna have to like appointment cry later.
Speaker 8: I have to get it outur myself to do that
Speaker 8: for many many, many years and never had an appointment.
Speaker 3: So I would just suppress.
Speaker 7: It until you explode eventually. So what would happen with that?
Speaker 7: I would get exhausted. It was exhaustion for me.
Speaker 8: That would like cause me to be angry or a
Speaker 8: little irritated or whatever. And then I would feel it
Speaker 8: coming on. I could tell when it was coming, and
Speaker 8: then I would just like burst into tears and like
Speaker 8: hide in my bed, get under my weighted blanket, look
Speaker 8: for my cat. There was no appointment, and that was wrong.
Speaker 8: And I learned that the hard way.
Speaker 7: When you were making the shift to like leaving your
Speaker 7: career at iHeart, which was a long one, longer than
Speaker 7: just the ten years a handful of years of the
Speaker 7: Bobby Bone Show, but you decided to completely change it up.
Speaker 7: What was that like for you? Was it scary? Was
Speaker 7: it exciting?
Speaker 9: Was it both?
Speaker 7: And how did you survive it?
Speaker 3: It was both?
Speaker 8: I mean I started iHeart when I was eighteen, and
Speaker 8: then I grew so much next to you and next
Speaker 8: to Bobby, and like I mean, I will say this
Speaker 8: that when I started my show at Apple, I texted Bobby,
Speaker 8: and I was like, I learned so much from you,
Speaker 8: And I remember starting my own show and being like
Speaker 8: looking back at some of the things that I learned
Speaker 8: from being on that show with you guys. I mean,
Speaker 8: it took three years for me to get back into radio,
Speaker 8: started a company, and you know, went down this other path,
Speaker 8: and I don't think I would have ever gotten back
Speaker 8: to it had I not started a company, because that
Speaker 8: experience is insane. There's nothing that could teach you the
Speaker 8: way that starting a company teaches you just everything you know.
Speaker 8: And I am not a finance person. I'm not a
Speaker 8: like calendar person. So I had to learn a lot
Speaker 8: and just kind of get out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 8: But I also created it in a way that stayed
Speaker 8: true to myself of like I'm still a talent, I'm
Speaker 8: still a host, I still do these things. I was
Speaker 8: doing stuff for soccer, like on camera work and doing
Speaker 8: that and keeping my creative spirit alive. Like for me,
Speaker 8: when I can't be creative, that's when I fall into
Speaker 8: my deepest depressions. And like when I can't connect to
Speaker 8: source and actually get that creativity going, that's when I'm
Speaker 8: the worst. So it was important for me to listen
Speaker 8: to myself and be like, yeah, I can start a
Speaker 8: company and I can do this, but I could also
Speaker 8: do this even though people were really against it.
Speaker 7: So that's when the story started for you of you're
Speaker 7: not going to have a lot.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Live Oh, the one, two, three, Sore Losers.
Speaker 11: What up, everybody? I am lunchbox.
Speaker 12: I know the most about sports, so I'll give you
Speaker 12: the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much
Speaker 12: a sports genius.
Speaker 5: Y'all.
Speaker 2: It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
Speaker 2: I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser,
Speaker 2: my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a
Speaker 2: lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops. Hopefully
Speaker 2: soon corn, pumpkins, rye, I believe, maybe a little fescue.
Speaker 2: Oh to be determined. Over to you, coach.
Speaker 12: And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Speaker 12: Sore Losers. And here's a clip from one of And
Speaker 12: here's a clip from one of the episodes this week
Speaker 12: on The Sore Losers. Now, this is where you this
Speaker 12: is where you probably people get all weird. One person
Speaker 12: on social media tells you you're not good at something,
Speaker 12: and you start getting all in your damn feelings like you.
Speaker 12: It's like Morgan does the same thing, like Abby does
Speaker 12: the same thing, And I'm like, Arnold, can you console
Speaker 12: her please? Like coddle her. I mean, guys who gives up?
Speaker 12: Who gives up? Who gives up what they say? Who
Speaker 12: gives a damn if they write a little comment on Facebook?
Speaker 11: Guess what? They couldn't do what you do. The truckers,
Speaker 11: the farmers.
Speaker 2: Farmers definitely can't.
Speaker 5: A lot of.
Speaker 12: People think this is easy to come in here and
Speaker 12: have these thoughts and opinions and carry on a conversation
Speaker 12: because they can carry on a conversation on the farm.
Speaker 11: It ain't as easy.
Speaker 12: It looks okay, like I know, it seems simple, like, oh,
Speaker 12: anybody can just do this. No, because every Joe blow
Speaker 12: tries to start stuff and no one listens to their
Speaker 12: shit because no one cares.
Speaker 2: All right, this comes from here, he goes Edward.
Speaker 12: This is sensitive Ray. Guys, you know, big bad, macho
Speaker 12: man Ray. He's the alpha male. This is him. He
Speaker 12: I guarantee you he stewed on this for a couple
Speaker 12: of days. He probably went to Bay. Did you go
Speaker 12: to baby like Bay, look what they wrote about me?
Speaker 12: Or did By show it to you? How did it work?
Speaker 2: I just saw it.
Speaker 12: I was gonna tell you so after you saw it,
Speaker 12: I don't want to read it yet. I want to
Speaker 12: know what you went through emotionally and what you did
Speaker 12: with that once you saw this.
Speaker 2: Well, there are two messages. One was from Kyle Trueby
Speaker 2: I know, and then okay, one was from Edward Ward
Speaker 2: okay word.
Speaker 11: And after you read these, did you go show Bay?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 11: Did you send her a link?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: I believe she was out in the living room. I
Speaker 2: was going to stop the podcast. I was just gonna
Speaker 2: do one for the week. I don't have to give
Speaker 2: him two podcasts three.
Speaker 11: Okay, it sucks, this is what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 11: just what I mean.
Speaker 2: Kyle Truby does the shit emoji after we posted the podcast,
Speaker 2: and then you commented. Couldn't agree more? Just being funny, right,
Speaker 2: that's what you do.
Speaker 12: You just laugh at it like okay, cool, you don't
Speaker 12: like it, guess what, There'll be another one in a
Speaker 12: couple of days and we'll try to do better.
Speaker 11: They all can't be home runs.
Speaker 12: You can never satisfy everyone, even every chick I took
Speaker 12: home from six three back in the day, not all
Speaker 12: of them left satisfied.
Speaker 3: I promise.
Speaker 2: So then Kyle Truby fires back and says, wish Ray
Speaker 2: put as much effort forward as you seem to. Dude's
Speaker 2: a poser, as we used to say, Like what, I
Speaker 2: don't put any effort into the podcast. Like I listened
Speaker 2: to some of it. I thought we were both laughing
Speaker 2: at segments. We were both creating segments. I mean, bro,
Speaker 2: that's my energy. If that's not it, I ain't got
Speaker 2: much more left in the tank. And then he goes,
Speaker 2: he's a poser. How am I a poser? I say,
Speaker 2: I live in the country, I have a wife. I
Speaker 2: say that I gamble a small amount compared to what
Speaker 2: I used to. I don't know what I'm posing about.
Speaker 2: I say I work for the big show. I don't
Speaker 2: work for the big show. So that was that. Then
Speaker 2: we're gonna move on to Edward word. He then fired
Speaker 2: with the one that got me. Oh that the poser
Speaker 2: and the one that got you.
Speaker 12: Because here's the thing, I don't know how you're a
Speaker 12: poser and these what people don't understand is most podcasts
Speaker 12: don't have other jobs, so this is their one focus.
Speaker 12: They have to be on for one hour or forty
Speaker 12: five minutes in their entire day. Ray and I work
Speaker 12: another job. Ray gets here way earlier than I do.
Speaker 12: He gets here like midnight, one am, so you have
Speaker 12: to understand he's been at work for nine ten hours
Speaker 12: before we do the podcast. So yes, some days energy low,
Speaker 12: but also he's not as energetic.
Speaker 2: As I am.
Speaker 12: I'm loud, I'm obnoxious, I'm very animated. Ray when he
Speaker 12: animated obnoxious, normal Ray kind of quiet, like a little turtle.
Speaker 2: So Edward Ward said.
Speaker 11: Turtle, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: He goes the pod is cool. But I have to
Speaker 2: admit I can see why Ray Mundo doesn't get to
Speaker 2: talk much on the big show. So that's him saying
Speaker 2: that I suck on the podcast?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 11: Is that what he said?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I mean my response to that was we
Speaker 2: can only just do one pod a week? Why am
Speaker 2: we doing three?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: But if people say I suck at the podcast, why
Speaker 2: am I doing three a week? I don't care. It's
Speaker 2: not like it's really changing much of my life doing
Speaker 2: the podcast, right, Oh my god, Oh my.
Speaker 12: God, I never This is what's so amazing to me, right,
Speaker 12: But I mean, I'm even at one person on Facebook, but.
Speaker 2: There's no comment. That's why I didn't even respond, because
Speaker 2: there's nothing I could say to that guy like hey,
Speaker 2: I think I'm good at my job. Like I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna respond that, or I'm not gonna say, hey man,
Speaker 2: meet me in the streets freaking the sheets. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say it, but I'm and I didn't want Bazer
Speaker 2: to defend me. Thank god she didn't say anything. But dude,
Speaker 2: it's tough to get those messages on our personal Facebook
Speaker 2: of people that hate the pod. It's like, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: it's changed, but why don't you read the comments that
Speaker 2: are fluffing your ego?
Speaker 11: Blowing wind up your skirt?
Speaker 2: Dude? It makes the most sense, and every country artist
Speaker 2: says it when they come in here. I disagree. There's
Speaker 2: a hundred of them that are good. Those are fine.
Speaker 2: I really doesn't because the people that are positive is
Speaker 2: how I actually think of myself. The people that are
Speaker 2: negative is how I don't think of myself. So when
Speaker 2: somebody says something like that, I'm like, damn, do I
Speaker 2: really suck at this podcast?
Speaker 5: Dude?
Speaker 2: I was ready to just tell you, hey, man, because
Speaker 2: we're kind of crunching this week to do some extra podcast,
Speaker 2: I was gonna tell you, so don't even worry about
Speaker 2: the rest of week. I'm gonna take off.
Speaker 11: Dude, you can't.
Speaker 2: I mean, because I genuinely listen to Monday's podcast and
Speaker 2: I thought it was actually pretty funny.
Speaker 11: I really did.
Speaker 2: And so this one person say that I didn't put
Speaker 2: enough energy into it, and then another guy says that
Speaker 2: my personality sucks and he understands why I don't get
Speaker 2: to talk on the big show.
Speaker 12: I mean, you left out the one comment he said
Speaker 12: because someone said I disagree Ray in his out of
Speaker 12: leftfield comments is what keeps me coming back for more.
Speaker 12: Ray is the comedian and your boy Edward word he
Speaker 12: forgot this? You didn't read this comment? Oh no, we
Speaker 12: can agree to disagree because he's definitely no comedian.
Speaker 11: He tries way too hard. It's borderline annoying.
Speaker 2: How does that make you feel, Ray, Dude, I've already
Speaker 2: read that one out of for sure. Not done the podcast.
Speaker 9: Hey, it's Mike d And this week on Moving Mike's
Speaker 9: Movie podcast, I broke down what I think will be
Speaker 9: the biggest movies this summer. So far this year, we've
Speaker 9: not had a billion dollar movie, so I break down
Speaker 9: which movie coming out this summer has the best chance
Speaker 9: to cross that billion dollar mark. I also in this
Speaker 9: full episode, I get into my sportlift free review of
Speaker 9: Kingdom of the Planet of the Ape, which is actually
Speaker 9: crushing it at the box office right now, So we
Speaker 9: shure to check out this entire episode. But right now,
Speaker 9: here's just a little bit of my summer box office predictions,
Speaker 9: because so far in twenty twenty four, there's not a
Speaker 9: billion dollar movie. The only one that has come close
Speaker 9: is Due in Part two, which has made seven hundred
Speaker 9: and eight million dollars. Godzilla and Kong the New Empire
Speaker 9: is right behind it at five hundred and forty seven
Speaker 9: million dollars, and Kung Fu Panda four rounds out the
Speaker 9: top three with five hundred and twenty million dollars. But
Speaker 9: then there is a drastic dip between three and four.
Speaker 9: At four is Ghostbusters Frozen Empire making one hundred and
Speaker 9: ninety five million dollars, and that movie is really seen
Speaker 9: as a flop. So what we see here is those
Speaker 9: big franchises are bringing in a lot of money. So
Speaker 9: when I hear people complain about everything being a reboot,
Speaker 9: being a part of a franchise, I feel like a
Speaker 9: little bit the studios are kind of in a weird
Speaker 9: position because those are the movies that are making the money.
Speaker 9: It shows in the numbers, and the original movies aren't
Speaker 9: doing as well. Because Civil War, which is an original movie,
Speaker 9: is at number seven with one hundred and four million dollars.
Speaker 9: So I can see why they would bank on things
Speaker 9: that people know and that people have an attachment to,
Speaker 9: and that we'll get people excited and get them back
Speaker 9: into seats. But I also think it's a bad formula
Speaker 9: moving along because if we keep just reintroducing things we're
Speaker 9: already familiar with, we're never going to get anything new
Speaker 9: and never going to have anything push the envelope and
Speaker 9: create new franchises, create new sequels, create new legacies and
Speaker 9: movies because we keep making the same thing over and over.
Speaker 9: So what I try to do is support all the
Speaker 9: movies that I really believe in, no matter how big
Speaker 9: or how small. And that's why on this podcast, I
Speaker 9: review the big blockbusters, but I also review the smaller
Speaker 9: movies to give those movies more attention. And if you
Speaker 9: don't even end up seeing them in theaters. Maybe you
Speaker 9: watch them on streaming, and therefore you find attachment to that,
Speaker 9: and whenever there's a new one, you go watch that
Speaker 9: one in theaters. Because honestly, I get just as annoyed
Speaker 9: as you looking at all the movies coming out twenty
Speaker 9: twenty four and seeing reboots and sequels, because I also
Speaker 9: crave that originality. But I also know if I want
Speaker 9: more of that originality, you have to put my money
Speaker 9: where my mouth is and talk about those and go
Speaker 9: see those as well and support them. So let's go
Speaker 9: through the rest of the list. But we're going to
Speaker 9: probably notice a trend here of a lot of the
Speaker 9: big movies that get the most attention are not original movies.
Speaker 3: That is just how it goes.
Speaker 9: But first up, coming out this Friday on May seventeenth,
Speaker 9: is If, starring Ryan Reynolds. This is a movie about
Speaker 9: him and imaginary friends, which is interesting to me because
Speaker 9: we just had a movie come out earlier this year
Speaker 9: called an Imaginary which was a different take on the
Speaker 9: story that was the Blumhouse horror movie where a kid
Speaker 9: had an imaginary friend and that imaginary friend was killing people.
Speaker 9: But here it's obviously a much more playful movie. Dear
Speaker 9: Towards Families. You have Steve Carell as the voice of
Speaker 9: the big Purple Monster. I think this movie looks good
Speaker 9: in theory. It's directed by John Krasdinski, who you would
Speaker 9: know as Jim from the Office. He's also directed movies
Speaker 9: like A Quiet Place. And it doesn't really feel fully original.
Speaker 9: It almost seems like they borrowed a lot of different
Speaker 9: elements from cartoons, Saturday Morning TV shows, PBS shows. There's
Speaker 9: a little bit of a Muppets or Sesame Street feel
Speaker 9: to this movie, so it doesn't really feel like it's
Speaker 9: bringing me into an entirely new world. But out of
Speaker 9: all the big movies coming out this year, it is
Speaker 9: an original movie. However, I don't think this is one
Speaker 9: that is going to cross that billion dollar mark. It'll
Speaker 9: probably make around forty million dollars in its opening weekend.
Speaker 9: It is so hard to make a movie geared towards
Speaker 9: kids right now, to get families out into the theater
Speaker 9: that's not a Disney property, And so far, there's nothing
Speaker 9: about the trailer or any of the characters that I
Speaker 9: feel really screams to a kid, hey go take me
Speaker 9: to see this movie, so I don't think that one
Speaker 9: is going to cross a billion dollar mark. May twenty
Speaker 9: four is an interesting date because we have two big
Speaker 9: movies coming out that are very different, so you have
Speaker 9: some counter programming here On May twenty fourth. Furiosa a
Speaker 9: Mad Max Saga, which actually looks pretty good. It is
Speaker 9: the prequel to Mad Max Fury Road, which came out
Speaker 9: in twenty fourteen. That movie caught me off guard on
Speaker 9: how much I ended up loving it, and that was
Speaker 9: a theater experience that I was completely immersed in. The
Speaker 9: visuals in Mad Max Fury Road are some of the
Speaker 9: best of the twenty tens, and I think I wasn't
Speaker 9: prepared for that. I wasn't prepared to be so invested
Speaker 9: in the story, and it so greatly improves on that franchise,
Speaker 9: and it also got so much critical acclaim. For a
Speaker 9: movie like that to do so well, it was kind
Speaker 9: of a no brainer for them to do another installment,
Speaker 9: and instead of making a sequel to that one, they
Speaker 9: made the prequel. And I feel like with that attention
Speaker 9: it got from awards and all the critics loving that one,
Speaker 9: I don't really feel Furiosa getting that same attention because
Speaker 9: of the leads in this movie, it's Chris Hamsworth who
Speaker 9: is greatly trying to remove himself from thor and being
Speaker 9: the action guy. And then you have Anya Taylor Joy,
Speaker 9: who has become an incredible star not only in movies
Speaker 9: but TV shows like The Queen's Gambit. She was great
Speaker 9: in the Menu, but she is not quite yet at
Speaker 9: that level of movie star that is going to pull
Speaker 9: in a billion dollars. And then if you look at
Speaker 9: the history of Mad Max at the box office, Fury Road,
Speaker 9: although it had a critical acclaim, it opened to forty
Speaker 9: five million dollars and then ended up making three hundred
Speaker 9: and seventy nine million dollars at the worldwide box office,
Speaker 9: so it didn't even cross the half a billion dollar mark.
Speaker 9: I don't feel there being any more hype for this movie,
Speaker 9: so I don't think Furiosa will get there. Also, on
Speaker 9: May twenty fourth, you have the Garfield movie coming out,
Speaker 9: with Chris Prapt voicing a lovable Garfield who hates Mondays
Speaker 9: and loves Lasagna. I used to love Garfield and Friends
Speaker 9: the TV show as a kid, but none of the
Speaker 9: movies have really done the cartoon justice he had the
Speaker 9: original one which came out with Bill Murray as the
Speaker 9: voice of Garfield. And I remember when that movie came out,
Speaker 9: I was like, why is Bill Murray the voice of Garfield?
Speaker 9: But what actually happened is there is a famous directing
Speaker 9: brother group called the Cohen Brothers, and Joel Cohen is
Speaker 9: a part of that and Bill Murray has worked with him.
Speaker 9: They've done movies like burn after Reading Fargo and a
Speaker 9: lot of other movies, won a lot of awards. They're
Speaker 9: pretty famous in the movie industry. So he agreed to
Speaker 9: do it because he thought Joel Cohen was the one
Speaker 9: who was doing this movie. But there's a different Joel
Speaker 9: Cohen who spells it differently. There's one of the Cohen
Speaker 9: Brothers that spells at Coe in and this other guy
Speaker 9: named Joel spells at Cohen and he is responsible for
Speaker 9: writing movies like Daddy DeCamp and Cheaper by the Dozen.
Speaker 9: So he just blindly said, oh, yeah, Joe Cohen's doing it,
Speaker 9: I will be the voice of Garfield, not knowing it
Speaker 9: was not the same Cohen. So I think it's interesting
Speaker 9: that you have two completely different movie styles coming out
Speaker 9: on the same weekend, but neither of those movies are
Speaker 9: going to cross that billion dollar mark. I see Furiosa
Speaker 9: doing better and Garfield just will probably not do so well.
Speaker 12: Carolne, she's a queen of talking song.
Speaker 5: She's getting really not afraid to faces. So just let
Speaker 5: it flow. No one can do it quiet Carroll lone,
Speaker 5: it is time for Caroline.
Speaker 13: Hey, y'all, it's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby.
Speaker 13: And here is a clip from this week's episode.
Speaker 5: So it goes boat to Franklin, to Turkey hunting to
Speaker 5: getting bit by tick oh man.
Speaker 13: Okay, so what happened after you got so oh? You
Speaker 13: were in Franklin, got by the stow.
Speaker 5: I get out of the shower, I'm scratched my face.
Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, miss, and so I get up in
Speaker 5: the mirror and I like, this is sure enough embedded
Speaker 5: in my face.
Speaker 13: And it probably was very engorged by this time because
Speaker 13: you didn't know it was there.
Speaker 5: He was in there, he was plump.
Speaker 13: I said, problem, you don't want to be in Gorge.
Speaker 13: You got to get him before they're in Gorge.
Speaker 12: He was.
Speaker 5: I didn't know he was there. He's the exact color
Speaker 5: of my beer.
Speaker 13: It would be very hard read.
Speaker 5: He's like, what I was like, look, man, I need
Speaker 5: you to find the Tweezers. I have a legit tick
Speaker 5: in my face. He's like, okay, give me a second.
Speaker 5: Trying to find the Tweezers, can't find them. It comes
Speaker 5: back with a pair of needle knows plyers. So his
Speaker 5: p pretty much Tweeters are basically this. It's a good
Speaker 5: old boy Tweezers. I was like, hey man, hey man,
Speaker 5: this is my This is my face, dude. This is
Speaker 5: not my armpit, this is not the back of my knee.
Speaker 5: This is my face. Dude, don't mess this up. What
Speaker 5: I need you to do is gently.
Speaker 10: Just to burn it.
Speaker 3: It's my face, bro, you know what to burn your face.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 14: So I'm like, and just so you know, by the
Speaker 14: time that I got there and did what he's about
Speaker 14: to say, the ticket already transmitted the feet.
Speaker 5: It was fat. I listened to a podcast about it.
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, once it's full of blood, it has gotten
Speaker 13: its meal.
Speaker 5: I don't even know. So I did not give him
Speaker 5: spot a fever. The tick did. So I said, hey man,
Speaker 5: I need you to be easy with this thing. It
Speaker 5: wasn't like.
Speaker 11: Superman, are you trying to blame for your spot for everything.
Speaker 5: What are you talking about? So I said off. So
Speaker 5: he goes like this, I mean I said, I need
Speaker 5: you to gently pinched the tick, twist and pull to pop.
Speaker 5: Get him out right. He goes bust the tic. I'm like, great,
Speaker 5: I'll just head to my codec to co write with
Speaker 5: half a tick just hanging.
Speaker 3: The head still in the face.
Speaker 5: Probably because it's my job to get the tick out
Speaker 5: of it. At the moment it was, I was naked
Speaker 5: and soaking, wet and late.
Speaker 2: I'm appy, sire, you woke me up.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so good, wet, late, with a tick in your face,
Speaker 13: gorge tick in your face.
Speaker 5: This is another Tuesday morning in teg So we passed this.
Speaker 5: I started getting favors. Favors started happening like and it
Speaker 5: was weird.
Speaker 13: I remember if you tried to get back in there
Speaker 13: and get the head out.
Speaker 5: Or you just move on? Yeah no, no, I definitely.
Speaker 5: I definitely was late for it might have been with you,
Speaker 5: so I, uh yeah, I feel like I got it
Speaker 5: out and ended up going to the doctor a week
Speaker 5: later because I was feeling bad, and uh we did
Speaker 5: all they ran all these tests. It wasn't flu, it
Speaker 5: wasn't strapped wasn't any of that stuff because I was
Speaker 5: kind of throat swords, just wasn't feeling good. And she said, oh,
Speaker 5: by the way, have you been beenen by lately?
Speaker 4: Got to tell her that.
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, I completely forgot you forgot about
Speaker 5: it. It was such a normal occurrence to pull ticks off
Speaker 5: that I wasn't even sweating it.
Speaker 13: Okay, so you weren't like me, like freaking sending your
Speaker 13: on your day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely so she was. She said, have you been
Speaker 5: been by any ticks lately? I was like, oh yeah.
Speaker 5: Like she was like, she's like like one or two.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, like one hundred, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, like Turkey season. We've been crawling around the
Speaker 5: grass for like five on me right now, Yeah, there's
Speaker 5: probably something right now. So she was like, well, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna start treating you for rocking a mount spot of fever,
Speaker 5: which is doxy cycling, which is a heavy, heavy and it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so thanks for that. Couln't think the word. So she
Speaker 5: sends a tick off like you comes back positive for
Speaker 5: rocking abound spot favor.
Speaker 3: You saved your tick, so you saved.
Speaker 5: It, so sorry note she's blood. Yeah yeah, yeah, you're
Speaker 5: not saving your ticks.
Speaker 13: Your tick has exploded.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just go down the toilet. They popped anyway, so
Speaker 5: it comes back. And the weirdest thing about having Rocky
Speaker 5: Mount Spot of fever is was the way I felt
Speaker 5: like it worked through my whole systema like, for there'd
Speaker 5: be three days where my head would hurt, and then
Speaker 5: there'd be like a week where my stomach was just
Speaker 5: totally messed up, and I was having to remember the
Speaker 5: fevers I would. I would be sitting here like just talking,
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden just randomly just start like
Speaker 5: get so hot, sweating to the point that I have
Speaker 5: to go down. And it would happen three to five
Speaker 5: times a day. And so that lasted. For that stuff lasted,
Speaker 5: and one day my muscles was hurt, joints were hurt.
Speaker 5: It was really a strange thing. And so you're making
Speaker 5: her feel real good right now.
Speaker 13: Had none of these signs, So I'm glad you get
Speaker 13: symptoms though.
Speaker 5: Fine, yeah there were symptoms, Like.
Speaker 13: Symptoms show up. I don't want to be like some
Speaker 13: invisible thing that you don't know you have in your body,
Speaker 13: like you're gonna know for sure.
Speaker 5: And so I just uh, I took the I ran
Speaker 5: the antibiotics and it it went away, and then I
Speaker 5: got it again. Two years later, you got it again,
Speaker 5: and I was like, I gotta figure this out. And
Speaker 5: so we started using Sawyers on our stuff and haven't
Speaker 5: had it since. You've never had any issues, never.
Speaker 14: Had any issues, been bitten by plenty of ticks. But
Speaker 14: I will I will recommend, like in the spring, like
Speaker 14: you know, if you got some outside clothes you kids
Speaker 14: are gonna wear, spray some saw.
Speaker 5: Yours on there. But we gotta know what.
Speaker 13: Yeah, but we do need to find the ingredients on
Speaker 13: these socer.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you this. I'll tell you and this is
Speaker 5: this is the true thing. I have a buddy that
Speaker 5: doesn't he doesn't spray his stuff down, but he wears
Speaker 5: he'll wear like athletic pants, the you know, like y'all.
Speaker 13: Wear those workout pants athleisure.
Speaker 5: Yep, and they'll and he'll put his he'll put tight
Speaker 5: socks on over the top of them, and it'll literally
Speaker 5: keep tick because they're not like they can't like you. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like if you have a thin layer of something time
Speaker 5: fitting on under whatever you're wearing, then.
Speaker 13: You know, at least your bottom halve is protected and
Speaker 13: you just check your top half. Yeah, but the hair
Speaker 13: is hard. Y'all got a bunch of hair, so it's hard,
Speaker 13: I know.
Speaker 5: But we're not just like down in the weeds crawl
Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
Speaker 13: Can they like crawl up in there?
Speaker 5: We take a minute, you know, I got a long tour,
Speaker 5: so take.
Speaker 2: It checked that.
Speaker 14: I kind of checked the outer borders, like the hair border,
Speaker 14: just kind of running fingers and make sure.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you for that.
