1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: I will be yelling when I do the intro, and

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: I know you've got a thing against yelling and comedy,

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: so I just want you to know this is not

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: like a shot at you, and this is not a

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: form of me trying to be funny. This is just

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: my intro.

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: That video, it's it's kind of a bit I don't

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: I'm trying to start up something. Yeah, I mean to

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: be fair, I feel like I've fallen into that too,

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: where I just yelled, So I mean, yeah, it doesn't matter.

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: So you're the guy that you had a stance on

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: something and then you learned along the way that this

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: might be something.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that video is kind of hypocritical, so yeah,

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: I love that.

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Actually, welcome back. It's a brand new episode. This is

Speaker 1: that's okay. We are offering an opportunity today to launch

22
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: a guy who's been putting in the work, who is

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: an up and coming star and content creator. You can

24
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: find him on his YouTube page. It's at des Underscore,

25
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: p D Easy Underscore, pe, Pizza Crust, studios, all kinds

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: of content. He's got shorts, parody videos, some pilots of

27
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: some various creations you've got coming up. But I mean, well,

28
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: can you tell us about the YouTube page if we were,

29
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: let's say we were selling it right now to somebody.

30
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's full of lots of entertainment content. It's

31
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: not just contained to one subject. It's like a variety

32
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: of stuff. It can be like a sketch, a video essay,

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: it doesn't. I mostly just make what I want to make.

34
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: So you're making whatever comes to your brain. Yeah, So

35
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: is this stuff that like you are writing down and

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: working on from idea to when it gets posted, or

37
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: is this like this is what's in my head this

38
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: moment I need to get out of my head.

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: I mean mostly the second option.

40
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

41
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes I just don't script videos at all and like

42
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: go full improv and try to make something funny on

43
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: the spot.

44
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: So so you understand improv, yeah kind of.

45
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: I mean I'm not like a master on it or anything,

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: you know. I think I have decent experience, but I'm

47
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: still not like you know, amazing.

48
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: So again his YouTube and we'll talk about it later too,

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: but does underscore pee the Pizza Crust studios, And if

50
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: you just search up his name or search that up,

51
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: you will find quite a bit of content from the

52
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: young fellow. But we're gonna get into it because the

53
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: you brought up improv and I didn't even have that

54
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: necessarily on the list of things to talk about, but

55
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense because of your background. You

56
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: just got out of news like newscasting camp.

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: Yes, that was held in Saint Rito in Chicago.

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so how how number one? How does that come up?

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: How does that peauk your interest?

60
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: Well, my grandparents actually live in Chicago, and my mom

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: you know, of course links with my grandparents, so and

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: my uncles both went to Saint Rita, So you know,

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: I have a lot of background in that school, and

64
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: I've been going to the camp for a few years

65
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: at this point.

66
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is not a new idea, like this

67
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: is something you've been doing every summer now for a

68
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: little bit.

69
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: Well not necessarily the newscasting camp that actually was just

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: introduced this year, but I've been doing like various sports

71
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: camp some previous years. But this year, I just went

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: to newscasting camp.

73
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: In our camp, okay, and I saw one of the

74
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: videos where you did a newscast pretty freaking good. It

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: does appear that you have experience with reading a teleprompter.

76
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: No, not really.

77
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: Are you sure you see like a natural?

78
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: I No, I don't. I haven't read like teleprompters. I

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: mean the most kind of experience you could say was

80
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: when I read off scripts for like Demia videos occasionally,

81
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: but even then it's still not teleprompter experience.

82
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: You know. Wow, So are you just memorizing or do

83
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: you have the papers in front of you like I

84
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: guess kind of explain most newscasts if you didn't know

85
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: that your reporter, you're you're at the desk, newscast reporter

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: is literally reading Okay, everything they are saying is written.

87
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: For the most part, they are reading it as it's

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: being scrolled down with the video content rolling behind them.

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: So as I'm watching des on this newscast, it looked

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: exactly like that. So how do you get your I

91
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: guess your text?

92
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: Uh? Well, yeah, no, it was a teleprompter. It was

93
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 2: like a such kind of an amateur one. You just

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: put like an iPad and like a mirroring thing. Okay,

95
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: and he stared at the camera.

96
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

97
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: It didn't cause a lot of issues though, because it

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: would stop, like at the last three sentences, because the

99
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: mac and the iPad weren't really connecting very well. So

100
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: for the last three sentences, we actually did have to

101
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: look down at some paper copy.

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, what were some things that you learned at

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: the newscasters camp that like you took away from it

104
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: and you go, you know what, I'm going to take

105
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: that back with me when I'm creating my content at home.

106
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: H Well, I mean kind of hard to like pick

107
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: one thing. I mean I learned a lot. You know.

108
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: First off, I learned kind of more about being a

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: newscaster because I have to do some of that stuff

110
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: for them. Yet I learned how to actually operate lots

111
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: of advanced you know, camera stuff, Like there was a

112
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: nine hundred dollars camera at that camp that they trusted

113
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: in me, a twelve year old kid. Yeah, it went

114
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: well though, it didn't break your anything. So yeah, no,

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: it taught me a lot.

116
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Did you feel nervous about it?

117
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean not very I'm not very nervous because you know,

118
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: I have experience in filmmaking and stuff, so I feel

119
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: like I could handle that stuff, and you know, I

120
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: just went with what I wanted.

121
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: So you've brought up dim Yet, and that is the

122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Des Moines Young Artist Theater, and that is something that

123
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: you are very involved in. Kind of go into where

124
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: that started all the way to where you're at like today.

125
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So I think it was November twenty twenty three

126
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: when I started in my first ever play at dim Yet,

127
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: which was the Chronicles of Narnia. Now I wasn't like

128
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: a major character. I was just like an ensemble character

129
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: who had to say two lines and I messed both

130
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: of them up at rehearsals.

131
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: And this is not the Lonely Island parody video. Oh,

132
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: this was the actual Chronicles in our play.

133
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would love for a Lazy Sunday like play.

134
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: That would be the best thing ever. But no, it

135
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: was actual Chronicles of Nardia.

136
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, you can find a cover of

137
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Lazy Sunday on Dez's YouTube at Pizza Crust Studio. So

138
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: that's just a side note, but you can actually find

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: that there.

140
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it is very bad.

141
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: So you so that was your first play and then

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: kind of where did it lead you from there?

143
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: All right? So for the next musical they did, which

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: was Finding Nemo Junior, I actually didn't get in. But

145
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: they actually saw that, you know how they could use

146
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 2: my filmmaking potential and stuff and actually kind of quote

147
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: unquote hired me as like a promotional marketer and stuff.

148
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Nice.

149
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily complicated. I just helped make videos for

150
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: them and stuff where I would interview the cast and

151
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: you know, I would also you know, just provide general

152
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: updates on stuff.

153
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: So that is that's incredible because I've watched those videos.

154
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: I watched just about every one of them. When that started,

155
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: I just assumed that was part of the program, that

156
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: they make these videos for promotion and that was your role.

157
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: But they kind of created this opportunity for you.

158
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, they didn't have it before. I mean

159
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: before they they made like you know, of course they

160
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: made trend videos stuff like that, they would you know,

161
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: regularly promote it, yep. But they didn't have like the

162
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: what's up down at dimyat the weekend up date until

163
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: I came along. Although I have to be fair, I

164
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: did not actually come up with the What's up down

165
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: at Demiyat. I came up with weekend update, but What's

166
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: up down down at Demiyat was thought up by I

167
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: think I don't think she was acting, and I think

168
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: she also was like another child helper, Uh I loave Bauer.

169
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: I think that's how you pronounce it. Okay, Uh, hopefully

170
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying that right. I just want to give credit

171
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: to the actual creator of What's Up down at Dimyat

172
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: shout out. Yeah wow.

173
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: So those video I mean, those videos I'm sure helped

174
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: the promotion of the plays. I mean, are you seeing

175
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: traction on the data on that you get to see that?

176
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think I've provided some help. You know,

177
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: I've seen lots of people at like the plays and stuff,

178
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: or like maybe at rehearsals come up to me and

179
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: be like, hey, I've seen your videos and stuff, and

180
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of people actually go buy tickets

181
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: though those I presume, I mean, I hope I'm helping them,

182
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: because either that would make my entire job kind of pointless.

183
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, exist Like then what are you doing exactly for? Yes, Yeah,

184
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: that's fun. So is that something that you are just

185
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: every time they have a new play, how often do

186
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: they do plays. I guess let's start there.

187
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: It's pretty much just every season they have a summer

188
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: play at the start, the fall play, winter play, and

189
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: then you know, of course a spring one.

190
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Two, So four plays a year, yep, and it's the

191
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Des Moines Young Artist Theater. And so then every time

192
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: every new cycle, then go ahead.

193
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: Wait, I need to provide a no, I mess it up. No,

194
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: it actually starts with the fall play. That's the whole season.

195
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: When the season starts. Okay, all right, so but every

196
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: season four plays. Whenever you start a new cycle, a

197
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: new you know, play cycle, and they start with auditions.

198
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: Is it already a done deal you're going to be

199
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: doing these video updates or is it every cycle? It's like, okay,

200
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: we're starting from the get because who knows you might

201
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: actually get, you know, get a part in the play.

202
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: Well yeah, no, actually no, I actually do all the

203
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: promotional materials even if I do get a part. I'm

204
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: able to do it all, okay, but actually sometimes I

205
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: can't do like promotional stuff for a play. Like recently,

206
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: Demiete had the Laramie Project, which is a really sad

207
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: tale of you know, LGBTQ plus history, where you know,

208
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: a young gay man. I'm sorry if I butcher the

209
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: story or anything is brutally killed by like two guys,

210
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: you know, and stuff is very sad, very mature. Hopefully

211
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: I haven't messed up the story. If so, I'm sorry,

212
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, I couldn't do anything for that, but I

213
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: did help out with editing, so you know, I'm always

214
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: involved in some way.

215
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: So are the plays? You know, every every season when

216
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: they do the plays, do they film the plays?

217
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: And then.

218
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Like, is there a

219
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: camera crew filming the actual performance? And then that's something

220
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: that you could get involved in with like editing and

221
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: shooting and issuing those to maybe the people that are

222
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: in the play.

223
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 2: No, we can't, sadly due to like legal issues, is

224
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: it right, Yeah, we can't actually film the plays most

225
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: of the time. Like I think the only reason we

226
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: would ever be able to is if we like paid

227
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: for it, or if it was a completely original play.

228
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Which isn'tdoable at this point. I mean, not that you

229
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: couldn't do an original one, but to be able to

230
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: pay for it, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Okay,

231
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: well that's that's pretty awesome. So what play is currently

232
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: in motion.

233
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: Actually, the current play is the SpongeBob Musical, which I'm

234
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: doing the promotional material for if very nice, if he

235
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: saw it. I'm not actually in it though, so I

236
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: just want to cut up. Uh yeah, it's if you've

237
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: ever seen SpongeBob, basically take that times one hundred and

238
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: that's what you get.

239
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: So is it more? Is it?

240
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: Like?

241
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, So SpongeBob's like a huge brand, right, so

242
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: you have the SpongeBob TV show. They also have spawned

243
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: off many movies. So is this more like the TV

244
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: show or more like one of the movies.

245
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: It's basically like its own original thing kind of Okay,

246
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: I think it takes more inspiration from the TV show

247
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 2: concerning how the movies sometimes have their own like special characters,

248
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: blot stuff like that. But yeah, no, it's its own

249
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: original story. I don't think it's based off any episode specifically.

250
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: Maybe takes inspiration, but yeah, so it's not entirely connected

251
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 2: to either.

252
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: Wow, well that's awesome. So the des Moines Young Artist Theater,

253
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: SpongeBob the Musical. Do you remember the dates of the

254
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,199

Speaker 1: So dimyat dot org and that's the website. That's what

00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: everybody needs to be going to. Anyways, dimyap dot org. Johnny,

262
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: July twenty fifth through August third. Yeah, so it's right

263
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: around the corner.

264
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's coming up very soon.

265
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: Awesome. Well, let's talk about the YouTube page, dude cauz.

266
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: That is I mean, I would be I would not

267
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: be doing my part in promoting who does Pearson is

268
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: if I didn't promote this YouTube page as hard as

269
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: I can because that is the genius. In my opinion,

270
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: that is the genius in what you are and what

271
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: you will become. Does that make sense?

272
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

273
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Okay, So his YouTube page, Pizza Crust Studios at does

274
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: underscore p When did this start? How did you? I

275
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: mean I'm sure you had to approach your parents and

276
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: be like, hey, can I start a YouTube page? Likealk

277
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: me through that?

278
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: All right? So it started when I think it was

279
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: like nine or eight, not the actual channel, but basically

280
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: I had YouTube on my TV, so I was like, hey, Dad,

281
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: could you set up my YouTube channel on my TV

282
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: because I thought that you could record videos for on TV.

283
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: That's what you thought. Yeah, it was gonna happen, Okay.

284
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: Like I thought I could just record Minecraft and get

285
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: a million followers or something. But no, actually, eventually, in

286
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: August twenty twenty three, I think basically my dad helped

287
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: me set up my YouTube channel. I got my email

288
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: and stuff, and yeah, my first ever upload, I know,

289
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: it was a Minecraft video. That's that's originally what I

290
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: wanted to do. Be a No, I wanted to be

291
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: like a gaming channel. That's that's it. But you know,

292
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: the video has only got like eight ten views. You know,

293
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: I still don't do very well in views. But you know,

294
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: it's it was just Minecraft stuff.

295
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

296
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was purely unedited most of the.

297
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Time, just you playing Minecraft talking while you're playing MinC.

298
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

299
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. And is it you know, when you're watching like

300
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: YouTubers when they're playing, there's the like the dual camera

301
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: where there's you a shot on you playing and then

302
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: there's the shot like the screen grab of seeing the game.

303
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: Was it that or was it literally just you and

304
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: you were just playing the game.

305
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: I couldn't figure out how to do that. I think

306
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: you need like a webcam or something. I mean I

307
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: later did figure out how to do that, but I

308
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: don't use it very.

309
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Much, right, that's not what you're into now.

310
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, no, it was just me sometimes talking

311
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: over the gameplay. You know, if my microphone ever had issues,

312
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: I would not fix it and post it was it

313
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: was very amateur.

314
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's incredible because people are going to listen to

315
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: you right now on this show and then be like,

316
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: he's a kid. You just name dropped fix it in posts,

317
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean things that people that are that work in

318
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: this business due right like, So that's pretty impressive. The

319
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: and I know you figured you you eventually figured out

320
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: the multi screen issue because if you watch any of

321
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: your content on Pizza Crust Studios, it's very obvious you

322
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: edit and you work a lot on your edits green

323
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: screen included. So where where are you now? I guess

324
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: in how you go about a production and kind of

325
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: where are you heading?

326
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: All right? So you know how production usually starts is

327
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: sometimes I a lot of times again improv I don't

328
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: write the script, but when I do, yeah, I write

329
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: the script. Usually I use a software called kit Scenarios,

330
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: which is a free script script script writing software, and yeah,

331
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: it's like a kind of the official type of thing.

332
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: Then I print that out and then I just get

333
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: immediately to filming because you know, I don't even memorize it.

334
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: Usually I just look at it in between chops. I

335
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: can cut out and just say the lines and stuff.

336
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: So it's just a lot of like bull up, Like

337
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: here's the idea. I know where I wanted to end,

338
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: but here's kind of an idea of dialogue I want

339
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna improve it along the way.

340
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I just do that. It's a bit unprofessional,

341
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 2: but I think it's it's just fun. You know. You

342
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 2: don't really have to strict to you don't really have

343
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: to hold on to something very long. You can like

344
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 2: make up new stuff if you think, oh this isn't

345
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: funny or oh this won't do well.

346
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: But that's YouTube. It's very diy like you're you're doing it,

347
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, have you taken improv classes before?

348
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: No? I mean the closest is like, well the close

349
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: actually sort of there's like a dim yet thing called

350
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: plain a Day mm hmm. It's a dim yet summer

351
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: camp where basically the thought is you make like a

352
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: twenty ten minute play in a singular day where you

353
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: take like a children's book or something, make dialogue off

354
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: of that until like the you know, vague story, and

355
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: then you display that in front of like your audience

356
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: of parents and stuff. Okay, so you had to like

357
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: come up with stuff.

358
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know your target audience. So when you're

359
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: i mean, you know who's gonna be there, right, who

360
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: the audience is. So then when you're creating this content,

361
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: is it targeted to make parents laugh or are you

362
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: just doing what you think is funny and hopefully they laugh?

363
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean sometimes they like they bring young children,

364
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: you know, like siblings and stuff. So usually it mostly appeals.

365
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: It's like a mix cause there are so many jokes,

366
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: some jokes that appeal to adults, some to kids. Like

367
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: for the second plane, the day that we did, it

368
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: was more of a kid's thing because we based it

369
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: off a children's book that was full of music and stuff,

370
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: and they're all very like silly kids songs. Yeah and yeah, No,

371
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: that was more folks towards kids. But the first one

372
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: was another children's book, but there were some like more

373
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: adult jokes, not the like adult adult.

374
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, not that it's not rated R.

375
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: No, it's like a it's a strong GYA.

376
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: So I have noticed on on the page some of

377
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: your newer content has had kind of a horror like presence,

378
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: Like there's even some horror shorts that you've made. Is

379
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: this like a darker side of days that we're finding

380
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: or is this just a genre that you have found

381
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: interesting or have you just been watching horror movies? Like

382
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: what's the deal?

383
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 2: Curious? I'm I'm interested in horror when I get older

384
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: and stuff, and you know, I like incorporating into some

385
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 2: into some of my videos and stuff. You know, I

386
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: think horror can actually be pretty funny. You know, it's

387
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: just like out of nowhere, this all gets so dark

388
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: and like just what is going on? So yeah, no, horror,

389
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: I mean horror comedy are actually very close. You know,

390
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: both try to get a reaction out of you. You know,

391
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: both are like, uh, both can chalk you in some ways.

392
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're very close genres. So I like to

393
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: incorporate both into a lot of my skits and stuff.

394
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: It's I love that you said that because I one

395
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: hundred percent agree with you, and it goes back to you.

396
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: You've got a video called The Chair with Dez and

397
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: it was the pilot episode of the Chair with Dez.

398
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: And just to kind of give you a quick background

399
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: on the Chair with Dez, it's Dees is in a

400
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, on a green screen, right, and there he is,

401
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: He's on this chair kind of and then the chair

402
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: next to him is like a skeleton that appears to

403
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: be bloody. Yeah, but that doesn't matter. What matters is

404
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: the monologue you're giving in this pilot episode, which is

405
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: where you're talking about screaming doesn't mean funny, and you're

406
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: giving this entire monologue on how comedy is. There's a

407
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: way to comedy and it's the setup, the build, and

408
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: punchline and it's not just randomly screaming like that's not funny, right,

409
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: And I one hundred percent agree what you're saying. And

410
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: it's great because we were talking earlier about how you

411
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: have found that's sometimes that can be funny. Sometimes that

412
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: is the punchline, right. But in your in your process

413
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: there you talked about set up, build, punchline. That is comedy,

414
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: that's also horror. One hundred percent. It's the setup to

415
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: what we're being spooked of, or we're supposed to be

416
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: scared of. The build and the intense and the nervousness, right,

417
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: and then the punchline is the jump. Yeah, like that's

418
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: that's horror as well. It's the exact same thing.

419
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, actually, horror doesn't really have to be

420
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 2: set up, build punchline. It's not like, you know, a

421
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: spooky thing is gonna happen. Oh, the spooky thing happened. No, Actually,

422
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: horror can actually I think a lot of the time

423
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 2: it relies on atmosphere kind of yeah. You know if

424
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: you've ever seen like a psychological horror film, yep. Uh,

425
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: it derives all its fear from like the unknown, you

426
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: know what's.

427
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: Around you, what could be coming?

428
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 2: What?

429
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what hasn't come? Like anything? Yeah, Like it's more just.

430
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: Like fully set up in maybe one punchline at the

431
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: end that gets you.

432
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, set up punch, set up punch that stand up comedy,

433
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: Well that's awesome. Have you considered writing longer form? I mean,

434
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: I know a lot of your stuff is shorts I've

435
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: seen on YouTube. Are you writing longer form stuff?

436
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: Yes? The problem is I like to write a lot

437
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: of I like to start writing a lot of long

438
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: form videos, like maybe more longer short films, or even

439
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: like a feature film like video or something. But then

440
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: I realized, oh, there's another great idea, and I start

441
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: writing that. Then another great idea and I start writing that.

442
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 2: Like I a lot of times, I can't stay on

443
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: one specific script. That's like my problem with making super

444
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: long videos.

445
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Okay, So with that being said, do you have specific

446
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: times in your day that you are spent writing or

447
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: is it just when you feel like writing? You write?

448
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: I just feel like writing sometimes. You know, maybe I'll

449
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: I'll work a bit on a script that I abandoned,

450
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: like a week ago or something. You know, it's honestly

451
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: just however I feel like it because you know, it's

452
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: not super official. I'm still twelve years old. I don't

453
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: have like super official supplies or anything, so it doesn't

454
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: really matter.

455
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: Well, let it be known that any the things that

456
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: you're posting and the ability just to post and have

457
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: your own channel is no different than your heroes. They

458
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: are also creating content, making people laugh, making people scared,

459
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: and posting it just like you are. So you're right

460
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: there with them. Man, and it doesn't matter the quality.

461
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: If it works, it works right, Funny's funny.

462
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: Wait, I would like to mention I actually have put

463
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: some work into a long form video that I'm actually

464
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: probably gonna make.

465
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so when when is this happening?

466
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: It's a heavy evidence I'm probably I've already technically filmed it.

467
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: It's gonna be an interview with my great grandma. Okay, yeah, no,

468
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: I've filmed it. You know, you know my great grandma

469
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: was you know, wonderful. It's like maybe ten minutes plus long,

470
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: you know, because you know, I've been planning to do

471
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: it for a long time, and you know, it's probably

472
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: gonna be like one of the longest videos I've ever made.

473
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: Is this like a documentary short? Or is it a

474
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: is it comedy?

475
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 2: What do you?

476
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: What? Are we thinking?

477
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: It's more of like a documentary. It's it doesn't have like,

478
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: you know, the talking heads or anything. It's just like

479
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: a one on one interview.

480
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: So the interview okay, all.

481
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: Right, yeah no, and it's it is kind of funny

482
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: at moments, but it's not really a comedy. You know,

483
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: I talk about like her life, you know, living through

484
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: World War two, unfortunately, you know, living through like the

485
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: change and innovation of the world. And yeah, no, it's

486
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: gonna be pretty cool. I just have to edit it all,

487
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: which is the hardest part because that takes hours out

488
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: of your day.

489
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the United States being two

490
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: and zero all time in World Wars?

491
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: I don't really know. I've I still haven't learned that

492
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: much about history.

493
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've learned.

494
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 2: I've always I've obviously learned a little about World War World,

495
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: World War Road War two, and you know, I've learned

496
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: that in school. I've read books about it. I'm not, like,

497
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 2: you know, heavily uneducated on the World wars, but honestly,

498
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: I don't focus on that stuff.

499
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: So, okay, where were you when nine to eleven happened?

500
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: Do you remember how you felt in that moment?

501
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: I'm twelve years old, so okay.

502
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: So no impact at all. Yeah, that's sad, because it

503
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: shook me. I'm gonna tell you that right now when

504
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: it happened and I had the understanding of I couldn't

505
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: go to school and the whole world was shutting down

506
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: like it was wild man. That's odd that you don't

507
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: even really care.

508
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not that I don't care. I'm just

509
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm just twelve years old, so I couldn't have lived

510
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: through that stuff, Okay. I mean I empathize with the

511
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 2: people who had to suffer, you know, the tragedy of that.

512
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: That was like, you know, it chook the world. That

513
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: was a horrible event. But you know, I don't have

514
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: much insight on that because I couldn't actually witness it.

515
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: All right, that's a fair answer. I'll I'll give you that, Okay, Johnny.

562
00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: Andy Samberg, he's somebody that you you want to say.

563
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 2: Something the the So earlier we discussed that there's going

564
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: to be a joke in this segment.

565
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: So okay, So here a little backstory. Ahead of time,

566
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: I sent des a rundown of topics and I said,

567
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: here's where we're going. Here's the roadmap. We're going to

568
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: go all over the board, but here's where we're going.

569
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: One of them was I wrote Andy Samberg because I

570
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: know that's a huge inspiration of DESA's And just before

571
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: we hit record, des was nice enough to tell me

572
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: that I misspelled Samberg.

573
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is honestly the worst thing that you've ever done.

574
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: You ruined my enjoyment of this experience.

575
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, not me questioning you about nine to eleven. It

576
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: was me misspelling Andy Samberg.

577
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, there's there's an e where there was a you.

578
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: So I what I told him was, hey, when we

579
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: that's that's great. When we get to that point, bring

580
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: up that I misspelled that. Yeah, all right, that's funny.

581
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's get on to actually discussing.

582
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: So Andy Samberg. Obviously I know who Andy Samberg is.

583
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: For anybody in the audience who doesn't know who Andy

584
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: Samberg is, wake up, because yeah, he's uh, he's one

585
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: of the geniuses in the Lonely Island. He most notably

586
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: came from Saturday Night Live and has since spawned a

587
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: great TV and movie career. So, Andy Samberg, how like,

588
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: how did you become a fan? And what about him?

589
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: Like drawsy to him?

590
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: All right? So, uh, I think the first time I

591
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: was ever even exposed to Andy Samberg was probably through

592
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: the first one in the Island song I ever listened to,

593
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: which was I'm on a Boat.

594
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, great song, great song, classic.

595
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: You know, I know all the lyrics.

596
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: Why don't you have a cover of that on YouTube?

597
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: I mean, to be very I want to actually make

598
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: music videos like Oh, I'm Gonna go on a tangent.

599
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: I want to make like green screen music videos of

600
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: their songs at one point because I actually know most

601
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: of the lyrics to their songs, which is which is

602
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: either really sad or really cool depending on who you ask.

603
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 1: So, Adie Samberg, I'm on a Boat. That caught your attention.

604
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, so much so that when I think I

605
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: was exposed to when I was ten or nine. So

606
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: I was at like my cousins and we went over

607
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: to his friend's house and I played that on the

608
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: porch really loudly, uncensored versions. My parents didn't like that

609
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: very much.

610
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably not ideal, but.

611
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Later on, Yeah, I went to U

612
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: after that, you know, I listened to some more long

613
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: Island than I finally watched Brooklyn nine nine, which he

614
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: stars in. Ye, honestly, still the best TV show I've

615
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: ever seen. I'm not even kidding. I've watched it five.

616
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Times all the way through.

617
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, two times in a row. Wow. Yeah, No, I

618
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: love Brooklyn nine nine.

619
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: Everybody has their comfort show, right, their show that It's

620
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: like I can just throw that on at any moment

621
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: and it's awesome. Like I'll throw on, you know, anything O. J.

622
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: Simpson related and I'm hooked right and it comforts me,

623
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: like I can just fall asleep. Yeah, I don't know.

624
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with OJ?

625
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but kind of in a bad way.

626
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: Okay, well he's an NFL Hall of Famer, but yeah, anyways,

627
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: go on about Andy Samber.

628
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: All right, so, yeah, no, I watched Brooklyn nine nine.

629
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: I forgot to point out I watched hot Rod before that.

630
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: Hot Rod also greatest movie of all time and I'm

631
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: not even lying. That's my number one movie on letterboxed.

632
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Can I disappoint you real quick? But I've never seen

633
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: hot Rod? He just all right, Well that was it

634
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: for DEAs. He has just left the podcast. I have

635
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: seen parts. I know about it. I know enough about it.

636
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: I've listened to full podcasts about it, which you know,

637
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Andy is also part of the long Island and Seth

638
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: Meyers podcast. That is just a monster success in such

639
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: a great show. I've seen it, but anyway, I've never

640
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: seen it from beginning to end.

641
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: It is honestly a really great slapstick comedy. This isn't spoilers,

642
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: but here's a literal scene that happens in the movie.

643
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: I can actually quote quote it. Basically, Rod is talking

644
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: to his friends after he left being a stuntman, and

645
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: he's like, here's a monologue. I used to be legit.

646
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: I was too legit, too legit to quit, but now

647
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm not legit, I'm unlegit, and for that reason I

648
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: must quit. He's holding like a shopping cart full of

649
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: beer bottles. Yeah, and then he turns around starts pushing

650
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: it away. Then a car comes out of oh and

651
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: hits him, and he doesn't go to the hospital. He

652
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 2: survives us. He's later seen just in bed chilling, Yeah,

653
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 2: after presumably breaking his entire body.

654
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: I like comedies like that. This would be a movie

655
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: I probably enjoy.

656
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is very absurd.

657
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

658
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: The main plot line is that is dying the father.

659
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 2: Stepfather has to have a fifty thousand dollars surgery, so

660
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: he has to raise money through stunt stunt work, but

661
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 2: the only reason he's doing this is to beat his ass.

662
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 2: That's great, hopefully I can say.

663
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: Ask Yeah, we swear all the time.

664
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but my parents let me say it,

665
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: so I think it's good they do.

666
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,479
Speaker 1: Like at dinner when you guys are like, oh, how's

667
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: your day, and you're like, man, it's hot as balls

668
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: out there, Like my ass is sweating, Like that is

669
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: it the kind of stuff you say?

670
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: I don't think I say balls that much.

671
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: I think I do say that much, but you do

672
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: say it.

673
00:34:58,520 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: I say it as occatingly.

674
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: Okay, well I'm cool. Just so that his parents know

675
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: I didn't bring it up. You brought it up because

676
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna come at me. I mean yeah. So Samberg

677
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: obviously huge fan of his content. Is he like an

678
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: inspiration to a point where you're like, I want to

679
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: write songs, I want to create like funny viral videos

680
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: like the Lonely Island, Like that's how they got started

681
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: and just kind of like grew from there. Like is

682
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: that something you want to do or you're just like

683
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: a big fan.

684
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: He's the only reason that I'm still alive. I'm gonna say,

685
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just joking. I'm just no. Yeah, I know,

686
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 2: he's a huge inspiration. I take like lots of I

687
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 2: like his absurd comedy style. That's where I incorporate some

688
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 2: of my comedy and my sketches. Yeah, the Lonely Island

689
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: loved them for a while. That's why why I made

690
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: the Lazy Sunday cover. Yeah, oh yeah, no.

691
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: That's awesome. All right, Well, Samberg's a big inspiration. Here's

692
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: another one, weird Al Yankovic. I know you're a fan

693
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: of your dad's probably an even bigger fan.

694
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: Probably than you.

695
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you've benefit and you've seen him live. You like,

696
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: he's not everybody's cup of tea. He's he's a guy

697
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: that's like he's done these parody covers his whole career

698
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: and he's a monster. But some for some reason, people

699
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: have been like, weird ol, he's not like he's not legit.

700
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, like I've heard this. I want you to

701
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: argue against that, and why weird down Yankovic is the

702
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: hero that we deserve.

703
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 2: Well weird Hell, first off, amazing person in real life.

704
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 2: I mean it was COVID time, so we couldn't really

705
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: actually meet him like fully. But I did get the

706
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: VIP thing with my parents so we could take a picture.

707
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: There's like a flexi glass wall between us and they

708
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: would photo shop it out. But yeah, no, he's an

709
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: amazing person. He's he's really nice, he's really sincere. Honestly,

710
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 2: he's a good guy. But that's not it. His music. Uh,

711
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: he doesn't just do parodies. He he actually does do

712
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: like original songs that kind of are a bit tearcal

713
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: of like you know, modern songs and stuff like my

714
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 2: favorite song of all time. I actually was just wearing

715
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: a shirt of it like yesterday. I think Dare to

716
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: be Stupid. Yeah, yeah, it's like a Devo parody. It's

717
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: not based off a song, but they were like the

718
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: Devo outfit.

719
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love the meaning behind the Dare to

720
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: Be Stupid because the weird, the weirder, the better, you know,

721
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Like that's it's okay. Yeah, you brought up COVID times.

722
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: What brand of uh COVID shot did you get?

723
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, I mean again, I'm a kid,

724
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 2: so gotcha, I mean because I was. I mean it's

725
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: been five years. I was seven when COVID started. I

726
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: was doing like second grade.

727
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so not something top of mind.

728
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't remember much step any of the details.

729
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 1: All right, that's fair. All right, Well, Top, you brought

Speaker 1: of all time. That kind of gives us an insight

732
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: to who you are in your sense of comedy. Let's

733
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: talk top five. What are some other TV shows that

734
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,160

00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: this up? The Good Place cast? Please? And yes, in fact,

774
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: it is Ted Danson. Okay, Yes, Can I just tell

775
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: you that I have had probably a thirty year feud

776
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: with mister ted Danson, and not directly. Okay, he doesn't

777
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: know who I am. Fair, but I've got friends who

778
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: have tried to persuade me and others that Ted Danson

779
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: is the best cast member of the movie Three Men

780
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: and a Baby. Now, have you ever seen three men

781
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: in a baby? No, These are three guys, unrelated, guys

782
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: that have to suddenly raise an invent they had no

783
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: idea was going to be a part of their life,

784
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: and now they're suddenly raising this little baby girl. Yeah,

785
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: and they fall in love with this little baby girl,

786
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: and it spawns a sequel and the baby's just fine.

787
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: They have to figure out life, you know. There's just

788
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: three guys that were never meant to be dads that

789
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: had to become dads instantly. It also starred a guy

790
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 1: named Steve Gutenberg, who I feel is underappreciated and underrated.

791
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: He's a heck of an actor. You should look him

792
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: up and watch everything he's ever been in. Okay, with

793
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: that being said, he's far better than Ted Dancing. And

794
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: I think there's been some kind of like underground Hollywood

795
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: bs going on to take down Gutenberg and have the

796
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: rise of Ted Danson. Because Ted Danson is a talentless hack.

797
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, you have a few over a celebrity who

798
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: doesn't even know you.

799
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't know who I am.

800
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm I didn't even know Ted Danson before this,

801
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: and I mostly watched A Good Place because my dad

802
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 2: recommended it to me. Yeah, it actually is a really

803
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 2: good show if you can get around Ted Dancing.

804
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah I can't, but I'll I'll take it up with

805
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: your dad. Yeah. So Brooklyn nine nine Parks and rec SNL,

806
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: Futurama and then that piece of crap Ted Dancing. So

807
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: here's here's here's what I got, and I'll tell you

808
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: we're not that far off from each other.

809
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

810
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: My top five TV shows that I think everybody should

811
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: watch to understand television, especially in our era.

812
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.

813
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: Number one a show called Breaking Bad. I mean, ever

814
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: watched Breaking Man?

815
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: I feel like I can't. I've heard of it, but

816
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: I know it involves meths lots of it. Oh yeah, no,

817
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: I probably can't see that.

818
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's about a high school science teacher that get

819
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: sick and then turns to dealing drugs to pay for

820
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: his medical Yeah.

821
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 2: There's like a lot of memes on the Internet about it.

822
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, so great show from beginning to end. There's not

823
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: a bad episode of the Bunch, right. Number two is

824
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: a show called Seinfeld. You ever heard of Seinfeld?

825
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 2: I've heard of it, still haven't seen and I know

826
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 2: it's earns Jerry Seinfeld obviously Jerry Seinfeld.

827
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, great show and kind of created a genre of

828
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: comedy of just you know, basic things around you can

829
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: be funny. Number three is a show called The Sopranos,

830
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: and it's about the mob. And I would not expect

831
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: you have ever watched this show, but I'm sure you've

832
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: heard of the sobrand.

833
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I've ever heard of all of these shows.

834
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 2: I've just never watched.

835
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: That's another good one with not many misses. Number four

836
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live, and I'll say not just the Andy

837
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: Samberg era. I'll say from beginning to end, it's had

838
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: a piece of pop culture that no one else can touch,

839
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: right like, And not every season's been as good, and

840
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: certainly not every episode's a winner, and shoot, even good

841
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: episodes have bad sketches. But the show as a piece

842
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: of pop culture in our world is just incredible and

843
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: hard to have been touched. I mean, what other show

844
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: has been that relevant for that long. You could say

845
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: The Simpsons, right, you could say South Park starting at life. Incredible.

846
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: Number five a little show called Survivor. Have you ever

847
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: heard of this reality TV show?

848
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 2: Reality Oh? Yeah, yeah.

849
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: It's the ultimate social experiment where they take all these

850
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: random people have never met each other, and they PLoP

851
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 1: them on an island and they all have to work

852
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: together or work against each other, out with outplay out last.

853
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 1: It's incredible and it truly is the best social experiment

854
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: on television. You should check it out. Maybe you don't

855
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: like reality TV, do you?

856
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: I mean reality TVs? Okay, I don't like like the

857
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: you know, trashy, like you know.

858
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: Love Island, Yeah.

859
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.

860
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. Yeah, Survivor is certainly not trashy. Yeah,

861
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: but oh it's good stuff. You guys. I know your

862
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: family loves movies, and they don't just love good movies.

863
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: In fact, you have a place in your heart for

864
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: some of the worst movies. What's like, the worst movie

865
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: you've ever seen?

866
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: The Super Mario Brose movie from nineteen.

867
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: Ninety that's incorrect.

868
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: I watched that thing as like a kid, like ten

869
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: years old.

870
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: Me too.

871
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: Actually, people always like scrutinize me when I say kid,

872
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: because I'm still.

873
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: Because you're kid. You said ten years old. Yeah, maybe

874
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: literally two years ago.

875
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't kind of been earlier, literally two years ago.

876
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't care.

877
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 2: No, that thing traumatized me. I did not. Yoshi was

878
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 2: literally just a dinosaur.

879
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 1: No, uh?

880
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: Pretty the bowser? What the what the freak was that tongue? Yeah,

881
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, the coop, not the koopa goomba what. Okay,

882
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: that's all I have to say.

883
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: I one hundredcent agree with you. I probably was ten

884
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: or even younger when I watched it and it was

885
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: not good. And luckily they remade and did an animated version.

886
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

887
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,959
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's a great one. I love Jack Black

888
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: in it.

889
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a what a great movie. I will actually

890
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: I will send you a podcast where they break down

891
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: the making of that original Super Marbles movie. It's so

892
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: interesting how the movie got made. It had many obstacles,

893
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: let's just say that. So it wasn't exactly built to succeed.

894
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 1: But it's pretty good. It's actually a pretty interesting story.

895
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 2: Some other like quote unquote bad movies, though. I want

896
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 2: to take a quick tangent to talk about them. Yeah,

897
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: have you ever seen bats?

898
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: No, I've never seen bats.

899
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: You've never seen hot rod or bats. Bats is literally

900
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 2: the least clickbait title ever. It is one bats, zero

901
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: percent logic. And also it has a guy who works

902
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: with bats who has a phobia of bats. Okay, that's

903
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 2: obviously the best movie ever made.

904
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: So is it a horror movie?

905
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be a horror movie, but it's the

906
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: freaking funniest thing ever, Like out of nowhere, the some

907
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 2: character will look in the sky and be like bats,

908
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 2: and then a bat sequence happens.

909
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: That's great. Well, I'll have to check out bats. Yeah.

910
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 2: There's also another quote unquote bad movie. Uh, Tammy and

911
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 2: the t Rex. It's another it's a bit more obscure act.

912
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never seen tam in the t Rex, but

913
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: I've have seen Jurassic Park.

914
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tammy and the t Rex. It's also another really

915
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 2: dumb movie. It's intense but in but in this case

916
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 2: it's trying to be intentionally comedic, and then it's but

917
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: then it's kind of The jokes are very weird, but

918
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 2: that ends up going full one to eighty and goes

919
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: back to being comedic. It's basically kind of a horror

920
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 2: movie where basically, uh, these evil scientists. This evil scientist

921
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: guy takes a kid who was just recently mauled by

922
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 2: a lion. Also, by the way, after he gets mauled

923
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 2: by a lion, he's shown in the hospital with zero

924
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 2: injury scars or anything. He's like perfectly fine, he's just even.

925
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 2: He just staying there. And they take him, cut out

926
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 2: his brain and connect it to an animatronic dinosaur, and

927
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 2: then chaos and tunes ensues. There's like a part where

928
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 2: a guy gets his head bit off and then runs

929
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 2: around like crazy.

930
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

931
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 2: And there's also a party scene where the dinosaur comes

932
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 2: while a guy's taking a whiz and then slashes him

933
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: and he looks down.

934
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: Oh it's spilling out yea.

935
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: And people get crushed. It is a stupid movie, seriously,

936
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 2: and I love it. I gave it five stars.

937
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: You sold it, you sold it. We have to see

938
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: this movie now. Yeah.

939
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 2: I basically am advertising movies. If you have a bad

940
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 2: movie that nobody wants to see, I can add for it.

941
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about let's talk about your family.

942
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 1: I know your family pretty well. Yeah, so your dad

943
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: has been on the show a couple a few times.

944
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: He is our resident movie expert. He comes around especially

945
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: around the Academy Awards season. Is that something that you

946
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 1: have started to really enjoy is kind of like watching

947
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 1: those Awards season movies and kind of watching Award season

948
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: and tracking that.

949
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 2: The problem is if I can even watch the movie

950
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: because a lot of times they're rated like R and

951
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 2: have like the weirdest stuff in them, I mean, and

952
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 2: also sometimes I just can't because I can't find time

953
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: for it or it's god damn boring. Yeah, like a

954
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: three hour movie is nominated for Best Picture. I'm not

955
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: watching that.

956
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: You're not watching that? Yeah, all right.

957
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 2: I tried to watch through Conclave, and i'd made it

958
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: into through it like an hour before I was just like, hey,

959
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch book them that nine again.

960
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, as one does.

961
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 2: But I have seen like a few of them. You know.

962
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 2: I've seen Alien Romulus, which was nominated for via Vex.

963
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 2: Honestly great alien movie, especially since the franchise has been

964
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 2: kind of yeah lately, So you know, I've seen a

965
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: few others. You know, I saw the Avatar movies and stuff,

966
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: but there weren't anything that came out this year.

967
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, Well I've seen the Blue Man Group before,

968
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: so I don't need to watch Avatar. I think I

969
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, any any, I mean maybe some of

970
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: your family will listen to the pod. Do you want

971
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: to give any shout outs?

972
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 2: I guess shout out to my dad and my mom.

973
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: I have no siblings, and I'm glad because sometimes I

974
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 2: occasionally hop over to my cousins. Yeah, it's an older

975
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: guy named u Sja, not older guy guy.

976
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: He's still like it is still a kid.

977
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then there's my younger cousin Lexi, and it

978
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 2: is basically the Civil.

979
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: War with them amongst them.

980
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. Sometimes we'll just go on the trampoline because

981
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 2: they have one, and like play a game or something,

982
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 2: and then like two minutes later they're like, ww takedown.

983
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

984
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: It devolves into basically a wrestling match. Yeah, yeah, just

985
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 2: without the safety precautions.

986
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: Well, knowing your uncle Sean, I completely believe that this.

987
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he's a he's the same guy he

988
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: climbed up a street pole and then jumped down thinking

989
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 2: of Superman.

990
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: That's awesome. So you brought a box with you, and

991
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: at first I thought you were gonna go all carat

992
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: top on me, and you had a whole box full

993
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 1: of just like jokes.

994
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: Right.

995
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: It turns out it's kind of like Show and tell.

996
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: You brought some stuff. Do you want to talk about it?

997
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I brought the like I like. I'm a

Speaker 2: you know, video games. My dad collects movies. Uh, sometimes

1000
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 2: just acts, make a lot of general stuff.

1001
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so what'd you what'd you bring? Let's talk

1002
00:51:58,800 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: about it all right?

1003
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 2: I didn't bring too much, but it is mostly just

1004
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: from stuff that I like. Yeah. First off, I'd like

1005
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: to point out the Deadpool games.

1006
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: This has got an Xbox One game of Deadpool.

1007
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an interesting story because this game is

1008
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 2: extremely rare.

1009
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: It just they just didn't make many copies.

1010
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: No, pretty yeah, pretty much. It came out originally twenty thirteen,

1011
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 2: two years later. Actually Activision and Marvel had a big

1012
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 2: feud and stuff, and the legal rights were kind of

1013
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 2: in the like mixed area, so they just took it

1014
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: off shelves. Okay, not many copies were produced, but then

1015
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: later on they came out with like a after the

1016
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: movie came out, they came with like a reboot of it,

1017
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 2: and you know, got it on the modern consoles like

1018
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 2: Xbox one and PS four. But then again, like forget

1019
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 2: if it was a few months or like a year later,

1020
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 2: they it got taken off shells because obviously legal issues

1021
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: and stuff. And yeah, it's very hard to find a copy.

1022
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 2: I did have one on the PS three at some point,

1023
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: my dad did, actually, yeah, but somehow he lost it.

1024
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 2: And the game can go for like two hundred dollars

1025
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 2: on the PS four. Have you played the game, yes,

1026
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 2: a little, I've I've played the game a bit. It

1027
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 2: is pretty fun but also pretty stupid, because.

1028
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: It's deadful, but stupid in the best way.

1029
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, if you find because I found this

1030
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: at a local J's for only sixty which might seem

1031
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 2: like a lot considering that's the price of like most

1032
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: modern games, but for the game itself, that is actually

1033
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 2: a decent price.

1034
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: Very nice.

1035
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you see a copy, pick it up, you know,

1036
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 2: maybe try and play it, but it's mostly just kind

1037
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: of collectible stuff to put on your shelf and show people.

1038
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's pretty awesome. It's a great talking point.

1039
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: What else you got in this box?

1040
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: I got a lot of deadful stuff Deadpool Action. Oh yeah,

1041
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: it comes with more runs than this one. It is

1042
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,439
Speaker 2: decided to bring it. Yeah, it's a it's a little

1043
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 2: deadful guy. He only costs like twenty dollars in an Amazon,

1044
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 2: but he has pretty good articulation. I looked, I put it,

1045
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 2: I posed him up and chill him off to people.

1046
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 2: He is honestly really neat.

1047
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, he usually he's usually packing more heat than that.

1048
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, in this case, he's got two samurai swords

1049
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: and a pistol.

1050
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: Is him. The only complaint that I have is that

1051
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 2: there isn't an extra hand option for him to flip

1052
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:19,479
Speaker 2: you off.

1053
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: It's a very Deadpool thing. Yes, he's good, and he.

1054
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 2: Just felt he's good. He's good. He didn't fall into

1055
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 2: the floor.

1056
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

1057
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 2: Then the final Deadpool thing a little funk.

1058
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: Oh and he's like a bottlehead.

1059
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a bottle head funk pop. The thing is,

1060
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 2: I didn't pick this up at you know, like Jay's

1061
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 2: or anything. It was literally at a highve, Fast and Fresh.

1062
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 2: They were selling like random Deadpool, you know, funk pop.

1063
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: So I decided to pick this bad boil up.

1064
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out the fast and fresh and then oh crap,

1065
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: he dropped his weapon.

1066
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 2: Now I got master Chief.

1067
00:54:55,400 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 1: Master Chief from Halo. Halo, You're you're gonna I think

1068
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. I so I've never played Halo, have you?

1069
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: And I grew up in the era that everybody played Halo.

1070
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 2: Exactly, you were dumb. Now, I just recently got into

1071
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 2: hal like a few months ago. Yeah, yeah, like that,

1072
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 2: And honestly, I've been obsessed with trying to find a

1073
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: box Master Tief figure. Okay, because I I actually have

1074
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 2: two more. Both of them were loose and they're like

1075
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 2: fifteen dollars, but you know, they're Halo figures, and I

1076
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: couldn't find anything previously. But then I just strolled into

1077
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 2: Jay's one day with my dad and I found a box,

1078
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: like unopened Halo figure that was just going for twenty five.

1079
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 2: So I picked it up obviously, Yeah, because you know

1080
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 2: that's that's honestly a great deal for how hard it

1081
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,640

1158
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 2: the plot and you know, the details. First off, it's

1159
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 2: like a comedy crime movie basically.

1160
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: Okay, like a buddy comedy.

1161
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of a buddy comedy, but it's not

1162
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 2: about cops. It's about crime. Crime. It's like because the

1163
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 2: buddy comedy is about you know, two people who are

1164
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 2: very quirky and.

1165
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: They go and solve crime.

1166
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they don't solve crime. They are crime.

1167
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: Oh they are the crime.

1168
00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, basically they're Oh what did I name? Oh?

1169
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: I remember. Basically it's Henry, who I think is like

1170
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 2: a twenty five year old guy, and his older step brother, No,

1171
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 2: his younger step brother Kai who is fifteen, and Ki

1172
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: really wants to start an amateur crime duo in the

1173
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 2: state of Arizona. But then they actually get caught up

1174
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 2: in the goings of a major crime family called the Garganto's,

1175
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 2: led by you know, their leader who I forget what

1176
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 2: was his name? I forget.

1177
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: I know it was Johnny Garganto.

1178
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: No, I forget what his name was. But I know though,

1179
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 2: like mob boss, like the grandfather is like the main Garganto.

1180
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: He's like the Sealerno family.

1181
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah kind of.

1182
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

1183
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, they are you know trying to track

1184
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 2: down these guys and they're just like two siblings just

1185
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 2: trying to make it in the crime in the crime business.

1186
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'll be like a goofy movie. Probably won't

1187
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 2: have that hip of a budget, but yeah, no, it'll

1188
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 2: be pretty fun.

1189
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: That's great because you set it up perfectly the stepbrother situation,

1190
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: because then you know, in the third act when they

1191
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: disagree with each other, it's easy for one of them

1192
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: to be like, you're not even my blood brother, and

1193
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: they can just you know, fight, and then they'll come

1194
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: together in the end.

1195
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1196
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, that's perfect. You already You've already got

1197
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: it all written in.

1198
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 2: And I'm also trying to make on work on like

1199
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: a actual web series, not just like one that I

1200
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: film in like two minutes and then edit. Yeah, it's

1201
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 2: gonna be like a web series called it's another working title,

1202
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 2: but it's kind of more defined. I think it's called Roomies.

1203
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 2: It's basically, you know, it's kind of like if Friends

1204
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 2: was a mockumentary kind of. It's basically about a group.

1205
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna last like a season. Yeah, it's a mini series.

1206
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 2: It's about it's in like last ten episodes and it's

1207
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 2: about a group of friends who decide, well, actually it's

1208
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 2: a trio friends who decide to start you know, living

1209
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 2: in a house together because there they can be roommates.

1210
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 2: A few more people joint over the years, but then

1211
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 2: they realize that they cannot stand each other at all

1212
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 2: after a few.

1213
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Years, like like one just wants to go to sleep

1214
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: and their roommates are just banging on their door like

1215
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: come on out, let's have some beers like by that

1216
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: kind of stuff.

1217
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's I only have like a few characters planned.

1218
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 2: There's Daryl. He's basically a very immature, very you know,

1219
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 2: impulsive guy who is who's not really aware of his

1220
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 2: actions and stuff. Like at the start of the show,

1221
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 2: in a cold open, he's like, basically a news story

1222
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,919
Speaker 2: shows him flipping off a news reporter and then he's like, hey,

1223
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 2: that's on me on TV. And then it just cuts

1224
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: to pile of trash and he's like where is that

1225
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 2: coming from? But cut, jump, cut, And then there's I

1226
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 2: think I call him Jacob. Yeah, Jacob. Jacob is like

1227
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: a bit more responsible, but still you know, a bit goofy.

1228
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,479
Speaker 2: He likes to you know, play like on the Wii

1229
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 2: with his friend, but you know, Darryl's kind of jerked him. Yeah,

1230
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 2: like in one of scene he literally just shoved him

1231
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 2: onto the ground while they're playing like we tennis.

1232
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: That's awful.

1233
