Speaker 1: Best Bits of the Week with Morgan listener Q and a.
Speaker 2: What's Up Everybody Listener Q and A time Mike d
Speaker 2: is with me this weekend.
Speaker 1: You're feeling good money, I am feeling good.
Speaker 3: All right, good, Well, we're gonna start off with some notes.
Speaker 3: Monica from Chicago loves all the best bits.
Speaker 2: I should just leave it there, but she added, except
Speaker 2: for lunchbox, I didn't want.
Speaker 3: To put it.
Speaker 1: There was something negative coming well.
Speaker 2: Normally like I like the notes to be positive, but
Speaker 2: you know, there it is. And then Ashley from Arizona said,
Speaker 2: no question, but I love Kelsey more Kelsey content.
Speaker 3: Which is your wife?
Speaker 1: Try to get her on my podcast as much as I.
Speaker 3: Can, as much as she'll let you, or as much
Speaker 3: as you. Guys both have time for.
Speaker 1: Probably both have time for.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, we're diving in. We got a lot of questions.
Speaker 2: I got a whole movie section too. I'm starting off
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 3: Okay, with that, I know, just it give you a
Speaker 3: little deep tease.
Speaker 2: Shila from California wants to know your favorite alternative band.
Speaker 1: Ooh, alternative is an easy way to or interesting way
Speaker 1: to describe it, because I don't really classify what I'm
Speaker 1: into as alternative, like I'm into punk rock, so I
Speaker 1: feel like that's a whole other genre. When I think
Speaker 1: of alternative, I think of like the bands I grew
Speaker 1: up listening to on the radio, so that's alternative to me.
Speaker 1: But alternative has also changed what it is now, Like
Speaker 1: I would consider like Billie Eilish an alternative artist. Oh
Speaker 1: she gets played on rope right, She's like there too.
Speaker 3: She's a lot of genres.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking of in terms of what I know
Speaker 1: the category of alternative to be. That's interesting because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of good ones.
Speaker 3: I know, tough questions over here.
Speaker 1: I almost go back to like those early two thousands,
Speaker 1: and I would have to go Lincoln Park. They fall
Speaker 1: in that alternative category. They're probably more like new metal
Speaker 1: rap rock, but I feel like that was so massive
Speaker 1: back in the day. And whenever I heard their album
Speaker 1: Hybrid Theory, which is like their mega one back in
Speaker 1: the day, like that was life changing for me.
Speaker 3: And what would be your favorite song from them?
Speaker 1: Probably I think it's a song that starts off that
Speaker 1: album Papercut, just because whenever I first heard that, like
Speaker 1: something altered in my brain. And I was also at
Speaker 1: the time, like all into like Green Day, Blanquin eighty two,
Speaker 1: like those types of bands, But that was like the
Speaker 1: one band that I realized, Oh, like, these people are
Speaker 1: really good at their instruments. They can sing. There's way
Speaker 1: more layers to this. So if I had to go
Speaker 1: favorite alternative band, probably Lincoln Park.
Speaker 3: All right, now, you're gonna be listening to him this
Speaker 3: weeking because you put it back in your mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go run to that now.
Speaker 2: Sandy in Texas wants to know if you always thought
Speaker 2: like Bobby or if this is something you learned over time.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I've thought like him. I guess
Speaker 1: they're they're asking about, like how similar we are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think Bobby's always like Mike d knows
Speaker 2: things before.
Speaker 1: So there's two levels of here. There's thinking like him,
Speaker 1: of I feel like we've always just been kind of
Speaker 1: on the same wavelength as far as how we are
Speaker 1: as humans. It's like, outside of the show, we're really quiet.
Speaker 1: I think that's why we get together get along so
Speaker 1: well together. But there's also the level of this question
Speaker 1: of like when did I start to like know how
Speaker 1: he works? I feel like that just came with time
Speaker 1: of working with him for so long working on the
Speaker 1: show and me being one of the only ones who
Speaker 1: knows like what we're gonna do and the angles it's
Speaker 1: gonna go. I feel like it's really been in like
Speaker 1: like the last three or four years where I like
Speaker 1: can predict things.
Speaker 3: Like before they happen versus after that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Or I can think in the way that he
Speaker 1: is going to think about something and have it prepared,
Speaker 1: or even like gear a bit that way of like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna go here here, we need to have
Speaker 1: all this ready. That's I mean, I've been working with
Speaker 1: him now fourteen years, so I feel like in the
Speaker 1: last four years that has become more of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he trusts me, he knows we're going to think the
Speaker 1: same way. There's even a thing now that we've developed
Speaker 1: in like the last year or so. Or I can
Speaker 1: like express something on my face and he almost knows
Speaker 1: like what I'm feeling, Like if there's a situation where
Speaker 1: there's like a trivia game being played, like I think
Speaker 1: it was like a he just bought like this random
Speaker 1: box of true bet cards the other day and we
Speaker 1: was just ripping them. Usually I don't get to play
Speaker 1: games because I always make the games. But during this game,
Speaker 1: I just gave him like looks that I knew the
Speaker 1: answers and he knew. So it's also like, so it
Speaker 1: goes both ways. Yeah. And the thing about that is
Speaker 1: I feel like my vibe in the studio kind of
Speaker 1: alters his vibe. Like if I have like a weird
Speaker 1: look on my face, like something is wrong, he is
Speaker 1: going to be uncomfortable. So I have to be very
Speaker 1: kind of conscious of how I look in the studio
Speaker 1: and how express things, because if I show any kind
Speaker 1: of hesitation or even just like a tone in my voice,
Speaker 1: he could feel that there's something off. So it's also like,
Speaker 1: during well bits are happening, to kind of give him
Speaker 1: some comfort that things are going well. I try to
Speaker 1: play that off on my face because it's like this
Speaker 1: whole wavelength thing we have going on.
Speaker 2: When I feel like that turn happened because before when
Speaker 2: we had our old studio, you weren't in the studio
Speaker 2: with us.
Speaker 1: No, that was like a big thing of me coming in.
Speaker 1: I forgot about.
Speaker 3: That, and I feel like that's when that happened.
Speaker 2: What you're talking about, when that moment happened that you
Speaker 2: guys really started to each other, because it sounds like
Speaker 2: you guys kind of read each other's energy also, and
Speaker 2: it sounds like that really started to happen around that
Speaker 2: time when you came into the studio, when we had
Speaker 2: the new studio and you had your own space in there,
Speaker 2: and that all started to kind of transition that way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was definitely me getting my own corner because
Speaker 1: before when I started on the show here, I was
Speaker 1: a phone screener, so I was completely separate in the classroom,
Speaker 1: and then when I got promoted writer, there wasn't really
Speaker 1: a spot for me in the studio. So sometimes I
Speaker 1: would be like on this little sliver of the old
Speaker 1: desk we sed to have and I'd be in there. But
Speaker 1: then whenever we got the new studio and I have
Speaker 1: my own space, I feel like that's where.
Speaker 3: The mojo really started to kick in.
Speaker 1: Just hanging in the corner.
Speaker 2: Well there you go, Sandy, all right, Kate from California,
Speaker 2: I would like to know when you realized your wife
Speaker 2: was the one.
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty early on the moment I
Speaker 1: tell her. The moment I realized was whenever I saw
Speaker 1: how she was with her family and I think it
Speaker 1: was like seeing her interact with her brothers and show
Speaker 1: like how much she loved them, how much she prioritizes,
Speaker 1: like going to spend time with them because she was
Speaker 1: living in Austin at the time and they were living
Speaker 1: like forty five minutes to an hour away, but she
Speaker 1: would like drive up on the weekends to go to
Speaker 1: their games and always just even though she wasn't living
Speaker 1: with them anymore, she wanted to still have that big
Speaker 1: sister presence. So I remember just going, like when I
Speaker 1: met her parents for the first time and her brothers,
Speaker 1: that was pretty monumental, and just seeing like how they
Speaker 1: were together. I was like, this is it, Like this
Speaker 1: is hell, this is what I've been looking for.
Speaker 2: So do you feel like there's like one moment they
Speaker 2: can really like detail specify where you're like like you
Speaker 2: probably already knew had some feelings of it, but maybe
Speaker 2: like when you were like, Okay, I'm marrying this person,
Speaker 2: like this is the person I'm asking my wife.
Speaker 1: It was a combo of that and then whenever I
Speaker 1: brought her to meet my parents for the first time,
Speaker 1: because I that's a big thing in I don't know,
Speaker 1: just Mexan culture or my family of like whenever you
Speaker 1: bring somebody around, that's saying that that's the one person.
Speaker 1: Like when I have an older brother, older sister. We
Speaker 1: never brought boyfriends girl, I mean never had any before Kelsey,
Speaker 1: but we never brought boyfriends or girlfriends around that we
Speaker 1: weren't like super serious with. That's just how we were. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because like you bring around the one and that's kind
Speaker 1: of the introduction to the family and then if that
Speaker 1: goes well, then yeah, it's it's like meant to be.
Speaker 1: So I think whenever I brought her around to my parents,
Speaker 1: that was kind of like, okay, this work. Everybody likes her,
Speaker 1: everybody gets along. And because I'm so close with my family,
Speaker 1: I needed somebody who was also very close with their family.
Speaker 1: So the fact that both of our families get along
Speaker 1: now is like even better. So it was almost making
Speaker 1: sure that all of our families worked together well was
Speaker 1: also a big thing. So once we did the meeting
Speaker 1: of the two families, that was it.
Speaker 3: Oh I love that. Oh, super cute story. Good question.
Speaker 2: Kay, Okay, now we're diving into movie stuff, but we're
Speaker 2: taking quick break.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Now. I always get movie questions when Mike is on,
Speaker 2: because this is Movie Mike d like he has Movie
Speaker 2: Mike's Movie pot.
Speaker 3: Did I say that right, Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah right.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of movie things being said there,
Speaker 2: and that's why everybody wants to talk about movies when
Speaker 2: you're on here.
Speaker 3: So I hope that's okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3: Okay, We're starting off with Ryan in Texas.
Speaker 2: He assumes that you have a really crazy at home
Speaker 2: movie setup.
Speaker 3: Is that the case?
Speaker 1: No, not the case. I whenever COVID hit, I did
Speaker 1: invest in like a bigger screen TV because before that
Speaker 1: I had the one that I had since college. It
Speaker 1: was maybe like thirty two thirty seven. Yeah, you definitely
Speaker 1: that big. Wasn't that high dev But as far as
Speaker 1: having like a legit setup, I don't. It's like kind
Speaker 1: of my dream to have a house where I have
Speaker 1: like a whole movie theater. I like to watch it
Speaker 1: in the highest quality possible, which for a long time
Speaker 1: I would actually get like Blu rays because it's better
Speaker 1: quality than streaming. I am particular about that a little bit,
Speaker 1: But I think I've gotten to the point now that
Speaker 1: I don't really need that at home. I have like
Speaker 1: a soundbar, but it's nothing fancy TVs. Nothing fancy, is
Speaker 1: just a bigger screen. And I think it's because I
Speaker 1: feel like when I go watch a movie in theaters,
Speaker 1: it heightens the experience, and I kind of want to
Speaker 1: have a different experience at home of just seeing a
Speaker 1: movie that's like it's not really stripped down in any way,
Speaker 1: but it's not that same quality. If I had that
Speaker 1: same experience, I probably want to go to the theater less.
Speaker 3: That's fair, That makes sense.
Speaker 2: Well, so when you get a house, do you think
Speaker 2: you'll have like a designated room that's going to be
Speaker 2: like you know how people have like guest rooms and stuff.
Speaker 3: Do you think your guest room will be like the
Speaker 3: movie room?
Speaker 1: I think so. Like my wife and I watch House
Speaker 1: Hunters a lot, and every time they have a theater
Speaker 1: in there, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what. That's like
Speaker 1: a dream thing.
Speaker 3: That's the plan. I like it.
Speaker 2: France has wants some current movie recommendations that are on
Speaker 2: streaming platforms. Ooh, that's a tough one, I know, and
Speaker 2: I didn't really prep you for that. So we're just
Speaker 2: diving in because.
Speaker 1: A lot of the Oscar movies that just won those
Speaker 1: are not available to stream yet you still have to
Speaker 1: pay for them. The last it's a good streaming movie
Speaker 1: I watch would probably be you can.
Speaker 3: Look at your notes, spiff and talking about some things.
Speaker 3: I did watch. Aquaman just came to Max and so
Speaker 3: would you think about it? Yeah, so I watched both
Speaker 3: of those. Aquaman was fine.
Speaker 2: It wasn't anything like I was like, oh, this is
Speaker 2: the best movie ever.
Speaker 3: It's something to write home about. Like it was visually cool.
Speaker 2: But after Black Panther the second one and uh second
Speaker 2: Avatar and now this one, I'm like, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of underwater things happening. They're all kind of looking the same. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's really more of what I saw.
Speaker 1: I hated that movie, did you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it was like I said, I always love
Speaker 2: enjoying watching like a superhero movie.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't anything that I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell everybody to go watch this. It's free. I watched it.
Speaker 3: It's fine, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like it's one of those I wish I would have
Speaker 1: waited for streaming on that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's someone who were like, dang, I shouldn't
Speaker 2: have gone to theaters, but Wonka, I.
Speaker 1: Did really enjoy I love Wonka.
Speaker 2: Like I thought Timothy Shale schallamelle sham so I forgot
Speaker 2: half of the loss of his last name.
Speaker 3: He was really great as Wonka, like a really good
Speaker 3: musical character. I felt like in that role.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was hesitant about that one because I'm such
Speaker 1: a big fan of the original. I would consider it
Speaker 1: one of my top ten movies of all time. Interesting,
Speaker 1: and I hated the Johnny Depp version.
Speaker 2: And that's that's Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, right, that's
Speaker 2: that one. Charlie, Charlie and the Chocolate. Yeah, Okay, this
Speaker 2: is all slightly different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I did not like that one so much
Speaker 1: that I was worried going into this one because if
Speaker 1: they ruined it again, it would like tarnish what I
Speaker 1: love about the original one. But since it is like
Speaker 1: a standalone story and a prequel, I thought the way
Speaker 1: that Timothy Challa May played Wonka like completely different. Like
Speaker 1: he didn't try to be what Gene Wilder did back
Speaker 1: in the day. He kind of had his own approach
Speaker 1: to it, and it was like a different version of
Speaker 1: Willy Wonka.
Speaker 2: So can you break down for me, because I'm not
Speaker 2: super I've seen them all, but I'm not super familiar
Speaker 2: with all of them, like what kind of each Wonka
Speaker 2: brought to the table.
Speaker 1: So Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the one
Speaker 1: back in the seventies, and that was like the introduction
Speaker 1: based on the book, and that was Gene Wilde. That's
Speaker 1: like really the best. That's the best one because it's
Speaker 1: Charlie Bucket, the same classic story of him getting go
Speaker 1: to the Chocolate Factor. He's a poor kid, and that
Speaker 1: has all like the great visuals, like all the songs,
Speaker 1: and it has practical effects and everything that made that
Speaker 1: movie great. They completely stripped away in the version with
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp directed by Tim Burton, because that one was
Speaker 1: like darker, kind of weirder, the Oopa loops. We're all
Speaker 1: one character that they just copied over and over, so
Speaker 1: it was just the same guy. So that one was
Speaker 1: supposed to be more like the book and less like
Speaker 1: an adaptation of it, but it really didn't do anything
Speaker 1: particularly well and I just hated it. Like Tim Burton's
Speaker 1: style is kind of like either like it or you don't.
Speaker 3: Isn't he more kind of horrorsh.
Speaker 1: Like family friendly like Beetlejuice yeah, like, and.
Speaker 3: He did the he does the Nightmare before Christmas?
Speaker 2: Is that him?
Speaker 1: He didn't direct that, but he wrote it. A lot
Speaker 1: of people think that's like a director, but yeah, he's
Speaker 1: that one did like a lot of just like like
Speaker 1: the first Batman movie, which was darker, so that's kind
Speaker 1: of his style. And he puts Johnny Depp in everything,
Speaker 1: So I feel like that wasn't the best choice to
Speaker 1: direct that movie. So with this new one, it's just
Speaker 1: like it kind of gave me that same feeling of
Speaker 1: being a kid again when I watched the first one,
Speaker 1: even though it came out like almost thirty years before
Speaker 1: I was born.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I like to your point now.
Speaker 2: That you're talking about too, I remember watching the Johnny
Speaker 2: Depp one and I was like, this is really dark,
Speaker 2: like Wonka's.
Speaker 1: Kind of creepy, very creepy.
Speaker 2: But watching the new one, I was like, dang, he's
Speaker 2: just a guy who had a really big dream and
Speaker 2: he like had a big passion he chased it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean there are moments in the original
Speaker 1: one where he gets a little creepy, a little bit
Speaker 1: sinister because he's a little bit more jaded, and the
Speaker 1: whole relationship he has was like him going into hiding
Speaker 1: for a long time and then opening up the chocolate
Speaker 1: factory again. There was that element there. But the Timothy
Speaker 1: Shallowmey version is like before he gets that cynicism and
Speaker 1: he's like very like bright and like looks at the
Speaker 1: world like I want to my chocolate with everybody. But
Speaker 1: in the movie, he does have these outside forces that
Speaker 1: want to take him down and want to see him
Speaker 1: not succeed. So it's like before that fully starts weighing
Speaker 1: on him.
Speaker 2: As the version you get, Okay, Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: We broke down Wonka of the Plan, but I liked it. Okay,
Speaker 2: while I was spending about Wonka and aquamandage.
Speaker 3: You have a chance to look at them.
Speaker 1: I would say, now that it's on streaming, is Killers
Speaker 1: of the Flower Moon because it's a long movie. It's
Speaker 1: like three and a half hours long, and it's hard
Speaker 1: for me to recommend long movies because people just see
Speaker 1: the runtime and they're immediately out. But now that it's
Speaker 1: on streaming, if you don't think about it as a movie,
Speaker 1: you think of it as a series. I think you
Speaker 1: could watch that movie in forty five minute chunks and
Speaker 1: you'll probably enjoy it a lot more.
Speaker 3: Okay, So kind of treat it as like a limited.
Speaker 1: Series, because that's essentially what it is. A lot of
Speaker 1: shows that people love now are limited series that are
Speaker 1: like five six episodes long. You're like, I can finish
Speaker 1: it all in a weekend. If you treat it the
Speaker 1: same way, I think it has the same effect because
Speaker 1: essentially what limited series are are just really long movies.
Speaker 1: They're like four or five hour long movies. They just
Speaker 1: split them up because the way those are formatted, it's
Speaker 1: not so much like this is what happens in this episode.
Speaker 1: It's just kind of like split up into one story
Speaker 1: over a continuous thing, and then that's it. There's no
Speaker 1: season two that is a story in its entirety. That's
Speaker 1: essentially a movie just fed to you in a different way.
Speaker 1: So I really enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon, but
Speaker 1: it's so it was so long to watch in theaters
Speaker 1: and hard to recommend somebody to go see it. If
Speaker 1: you watch it in a smaller, more digestible way, I
Speaker 1: think you would really like it.
Speaker 3: Is she the one who.
Speaker 2: Who was it that got not necessarily snubbed at the
Speaker 2: Oscars but didn't win when Emma Stone won.
Speaker 3: Billy Gladstone was that from Flowers Haarman?
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, She's one of the mains in the movie.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just I assume I was seeing stuff online
Speaker 2: about that because people were upset she didn't win, and
Speaker 2: I just didn't know because I haven't seen that movie yet.
Speaker 3: Okay, So she kind of did get snubbed.
Speaker 1: So a way of in a way, I mean, she
Speaker 1: was nominated, which is huge. Yeah, and when you look
Speaker 1: at her role in that movie versus Emma Stone's role
Speaker 1: in Poor Things, I think Emma Stone's character was just
Speaker 1: a more integral part of that movie. I feel like
Speaker 1: just screen time alone, it's hard to compare the two.
Speaker 1: So I feel like it was really great of Lily
Speaker 1: Gladstone to get that nomination also for the representation, and
Speaker 1: I think that was kind of the driving force more
Speaker 1: of the campaign around her, which would have been awesome.
Speaker 1: But if I look at it strictly from a film perspective,
Speaker 1: I feel like she would have easily won it. She
Speaker 1: would have been nominated for Supporting Actress instead of just actress.
Speaker 1: Got it because it's kind of weird the way they
Speaker 1: split those because you have Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert de Niro,
Speaker 1: and her all in that movie, and it's like, who's
Speaker 1: the lead here?
Speaker 3: Like yeah, especially when it sounds like they kind of
Speaker 3: were all evenly the lead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, got it all right?
Speaker 2: Well, we got Amanda from Norfolk, Virginia. She wants to
Speaker 2: know would you ever want to have a role in
Speaker 2: a movie?
Speaker 1: And Oh, I've been thinking about this because I see
Speaker 1: TikTokers who get like roles in an animated movie, right,
Speaker 1: like somebody who can develop like a following online reviewing
Speaker 1: or talking about movies. Sometimes I'll give them apart just
Speaker 1: so they'll like mention it. It's like a promo thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I think I would love a role in like
Speaker 1: an animated movie, like a real small character. Like I
Speaker 1: just went to go see Kung Fu Panda four and
Speaker 1: mister Beast was a voice of a character in that movie.
Speaker 1: And it's like maybe one two lines, maybe just a
Speaker 1: few words, but he's like credited in the movie. He
Speaker 1: has an IBB page, Like, I think that would be cool.
Speaker 1: So my dream would probably be like whenever they make
Speaker 1: another into the Spider Verse movie, have like a small
Speaker 1: like like one line, even it's like a voice.
Speaker 3: Extra, okay, Yeah, because you love Spider Man, that's your guy.
Speaker 1: Anything Marvel, and they're really getting more into animation right now,
Speaker 1: especially even if it's a TV series. They're kind of
Speaker 1: they also they have like their own Marvel animation department
Speaker 1: now that they're like focusing more on kind of like
Speaker 1: DC does really great, a really great job in making
Speaker 1: animated stuff. Marvel is really just now starting to get there.
Speaker 1: So I would take anything in a Marble anything.
Speaker 3: That's okay, that's a great one. Aaron would like to
Speaker 3: know three movies that have been overhyped and didn't deliver.
Speaker 1: The one that I thought was overhyped for the longest
Speaker 1: amount of time that people call me crazy for it
Speaker 1: was Bridesmaids. I didn't really like that one when I
Speaker 1: first watched.
Speaker 3: So that one of your correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 3: One of your wife's favorite.
Speaker 1: Movies that is like her favorite movie of all time,
Speaker 1: and she's been the person like, you gotta watch this
Speaker 1: movie again. You're missing something here, and I didn't. I
Speaker 1: enjoyed it more. But as far as like those types
Speaker 1: of comedies, that was never my favorite comedy and people
Speaker 1: love that movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really funny comedy though, but okay, so
Speaker 2: for that, but for you, it would be overhyped and
Speaker 2: didn't delivery.
Speaker 1: I thought it was overhyped, okay, all right?
Speaker 3: And what about two others easily.
Speaker 1: The first Avatar that was like so overhyped and made
Speaker 1: like so much money when it for came out. It
Speaker 1: took me longer to even appreciate that movie. But when
Speaker 1: I first saw it, I was like, this is boring. This,
Speaker 1: this is Dances with Wolves with Blue Creatures?
Speaker 3: Interesting take? Did you watch the second one?
Speaker 2: Ever?
Speaker 1: I did, and I actually liked the second one a
Speaker 1: lot more once I kind of realized the grand scope
Speaker 1: of it and like what it really means to cinema
Speaker 1: as far as like what James Cameron does. I think
Speaker 1: I became more of a James Cameron fan than an
Speaker 1: Avatar fan, just because he is responsible for making some
Speaker 1: of the biggest, most elaborate movies of our lifetime, and
Speaker 1: I feel like I respected it more on just like
Speaker 1: this is like, how do you even start making this?
Speaker 1: Putting people in these suits? All of his motion capture technology?
Speaker 3: One he had to dream it up too, right, like
Speaker 3: I had to be dreamt up.
Speaker 1: It's a movie that I watched, and I can't even
Speaker 1: imagine how you begin that creative process because there's so
Speaker 1: many things going on, just visually, all the backstory, all
Speaker 1: the characters. And then he's also just really great at
Speaker 1: making like action and explosions, which I feel like is
Speaker 1: often viewed as like not being an integral part, but
Speaker 1: like that's a big part of those movies and it
Speaker 1: makes it more entertaining. So I probably enjoyed the second
Speaker 1: one more upon the first time I watched it. Then
Speaker 1: I did Avatar one just because it kind of created
Speaker 1: a hype and like when it came out in like
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, and it was also around that
Speaker 1: time where everything was coming out and well it started
Speaker 1: the trend of everything coming out in three D and
Speaker 1: then everybody was like, you gotta make a three D movie.
Speaker 1: And I hated that trend because none of them look
Speaker 1: that good. I wear glasses, so putting on three D
Speaker 1: glasses over my glasses was terrible experience.
Speaker 3: So I never felt feel like a headache due I
Speaker 3: never got the.
Speaker 1: Full experience of three D, So I'm glad that went away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at James camera like his list of movies,
Speaker 2: and I really haven't seen a lot of them.
Speaker 3: Besides Avatar. I did see Alita the Battle Angel, and
Speaker 3: that was really good. Have you seen that?
Speaker 1: I don't think I have.
Speaker 2: It was when I was on my trip watching all
Speaker 2: the sci fi stuff that I could possibly find because
Speaker 2: I was so obsessed with Ready Player one, and it's
Speaker 2: actually a really good movie.
Speaker 3: Alita is I thin to go watch that one. Not
Speaker 3: that you don't have any shortes of movies to watch, but.
Speaker 2: If you're on like a sci fi move, Alita is
Speaker 2: a good I'm on like a quest to like fill
Speaker 2: in the gaps of movies that I just haven't had
Speaker 2: time to get to.
Speaker 1: That's right, because I'm I'm so focused on watching everything
Speaker 1: new that there's a lot of I mean, obviously, every
Speaker 1: time somebody asked me if I've seen a movie, it's
Speaker 1: like asking if you've seen every single movie ever created,
Speaker 1: which I really try to. I've seen like all the pillars,
Speaker 1: I would say, but there's always like these movies that
Speaker 1: came out, like I'm really bad about eighties movies. That
Speaker 1: is like a decade that I'm I just lack in.
Speaker 1: Eighties and seventies are probably my weakest. So there's always
Speaker 1: like a movie that in that time period that probably
Speaker 1: haven't seen. So I'm trying to fill in those gaps,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Don't feel like there's there's like a lot of people
Speaker 2: out there who feel like those are when a lot
Speaker 2: of classics are So you feel like, how have you
Speaker 2: missed this classic? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Eighties movies, I just can't. I don't know. It's a
Speaker 1: weird time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: I totally get it. Okay, we got Rooster from Utah.
Speaker 2: This's our last movie question.
Speaker 3: Who wants us to name our favorite superhero and our villain?
Speaker 1: Ooh's I think that's easy for me. Go for villain
Speaker 1: is harder superheroes, hands down, spider Man, that's your guy.
Speaker 1: And I also think he has the best villains, but
Speaker 1: it's which of his villains is the best. I would
Speaker 1: he's kind of an anti hero. I'd go Venom. Venom
Speaker 1: has been my favorite villain since I was a kid
Speaker 1: because of the nineties spider Man TV show. And I
Speaker 1: hate this Venom movie with Tom Hardy because of how
Speaker 1: much I love Venom. I feel like they didn't truly
Speaker 1: get that character down right, because he is more of
Speaker 1: like a vicious character that should have been a rated.
Speaker 3: R movie, which they wasn't it thirteen maybe.
Speaker 1: The first one was R. But it's more so because
Speaker 1: of the cursing than it is the violence. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a little too family friendly for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't. I don't know
Speaker 3: that I even remember much of what happened.
Speaker 2: I watched it, but I couldn't tell you what happened
Speaker 2: and it all I know is he had the little
Speaker 2: slimy stuff that was on him all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it was because of the look of the character.
Speaker 1: He looked a little too.
Speaker 3: Glossy to me, and he wanted to be more like gritty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's hard when you make a cgi character
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be comic accurate but also like look
Speaker 1: good throughout an entire movie. I would have liked a
Speaker 1: more realistic approach to Venom than just this big kind
Speaker 1: of shiny blob.
Speaker 3: Okay, I like it. I like the perspective mine my
Speaker 3: superheroes are.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're all women, which is awesome because I
Speaker 2: feel like if I would have watched this stuff as
Speaker 2: a kid, there wasn't a whole lot of that. But
Speaker 2: so my superheroes are. They go back and forth between
Speaker 2: Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman. I love both of them.
Speaker 2: Wonder Woman because she's just she has been around from
Speaker 2: the very beginning and she's gal Gado in the first
Speaker 2: Wonder Woman is like one of my favorite movies of
Speaker 2: the DC, Like just really enjoy it. And then Captain Marvel,
Speaker 2: which was really cool. When she got introduced into the
Speaker 2: whole Marvel universe, I was like freaking out. I was like, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a woman superhero and she's super powerful.
Speaker 3: So I loved that first movie. And villain is the
Speaker 3: Scarlet Witch. Mmmm. I just really love her character.
Speaker 2: I love that she she fluctuates so much of having
Speaker 2: different energy in different times of her life, and especially
Speaker 2: like as she finally hit like the really peak of
Speaker 2: it and she just went full Scarlet Witch, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 1: I watched.
Speaker 3: I love that transition. I love WandaVision also kind of.
Speaker 1: Goes back and forth between being a villain and being
Speaker 1: a hero.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like she really wants to be good, but like
Speaker 2: life sucks and it's hard and it impacts her really
Speaker 2: deeply and I just can relate.
Speaker 3: So there are fun superhero and villains.
Speaker 1: They are good.
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna take one more quick break and
Speaker 3: we got some more fun questions not movie related.
Speaker 2: Okay, Amy from New Orleans would like to know how
Speaker 2: could she start running exercise?
Speaker 3: Like she really wants to get moving, but she like
Speaker 3: hates running.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's tough. I hate it running when I started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so perfect person to ask.
Speaker 1: I think you start start easy. If you haven't run
Speaker 1: it at all, just go outside and get some sunshine,
Speaker 1: go for a walk. I think the way to motivate yourself,
Speaker 1: and what motivated me was just to have instead of
Speaker 1: thinking of it in distance, which I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people will think of like I need to run
Speaker 1: a mile, I need to run two miles, I need
Speaker 1: to do three. Just think of it as time instead
Speaker 1: of the distance you want to do, because the distance
Speaker 1: will come later. So I say, if you're just getting
Speaker 1: started running, instead of saying you're gonna go do a mile,
Speaker 1: just say you're gonna go run for ten minutes, and
Speaker 1: say fifteen minutes and add on that way, because then
Speaker 1: it feels a little bit more attainable that you're just
Speaker 1: looking at. Okay, this is the amount of time I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have set today. If I'm slow. It's fine if
Speaker 1: I'm slow and only do like a mile, great, because
Speaker 1: you're gonna get focused on like, oh man, I got
Speaker 1: to get more miles in. Then you're gonna push your
Speaker 1: body a little too hard and then you're gonna get hurt,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna stop. So I think for me,
Speaker 1: that's the advice I would have wanted starting out, because
Speaker 1: I quickly became like obsessed with hitting a certain amount
Speaker 1: of miles, and it was almost like I cared more
Speaker 1: about the miles I was getting than the amount, like
Speaker 1: how how good the runs were. So if I could
Speaker 1: just focus on the time all the other things that
Speaker 1: come with running, you'll have those benefits later.
Speaker 3: Kind of like don't look at the numbers on the scale. Exactly,
Speaker 3: same concept.
Speaker 1: Same concept. That's another thing I don't do anymore as
Speaker 1: way myself because it was bad for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it probably like it would send you on a spiral.
Speaker 2: I would imagine as somebody who was working really hard
Speaker 2: and you're like, why am I doing this?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can understand.
Speaker 2: Laura and Minnesota would like to know our dream dinner
Speaker 2: guest and what we're cooking for them.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna go Posty. I'm gonna go post Malone,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna break veganism and have canes with him
Speaker 1: because he's a huge canes guy.
Speaker 3: Dang only for post you though, I.
Speaker 1: Would break a lot of things. I was thinking about
Speaker 1: that the other day because I saw like somebody like
Speaker 1: and her mind say that started break a lot of
Speaker 1: things for like, Yeah, if the opportunity came for many
Speaker 1: of things, I guess I'm.
Speaker 3: In with post Malone.
Speaker 1: Yes, not like just life.
Speaker 3: You're talking Posty.
Speaker 1: It's like, in certain situations, you just gotta go for it.
Speaker 2: Okay, now, don't care you're gonna have to tell me
Speaker 2: off the mictor you're about to say, Oh, my dream
Speaker 2: dinner guest I think would be hmm, there's.
Speaker 3: Like three actors that I just love.
Speaker 2: I think it'd be Reese Wetherspoon, and I think we'd
Speaker 2: have Italian food together because I don't know why. I
Speaker 2: just feel like a really fun pasta meal with Weatherspoon
Speaker 2: would be amazing. And I could ask her all her
Speaker 2: stories about life and talk about Sweet Home Albumics is
Speaker 2: my favorite movie, so those are her.
Speaker 3: But I don't know that I would do anything with her.
Speaker 3: I'm not quite on your level, all right.
Speaker 2: Last one, Abby from Tennessee, wants to know if there
Speaker 2: has ever been a moment and you're Bobby Bone Show
Speaker 2: Bobby Bone Show career, that you thought you'd get fired.
Speaker 1: I think I think I'm gonna get fired every day.
Speaker 1: To be audist, really, I just feel that way. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's because of the way I grew up,
Speaker 1: where the mentality I have in the industry we live
Speaker 1: in that I always just feel like today could be
Speaker 1: my last day.
Speaker 2: But like even now I get maybe like when you
Speaker 2: were starting, but even now, even now.
Speaker 1: I still feel it. I feel like any big screw
Speaker 1: up that I have, I feel like I'm gonna get fired.
Speaker 3: When a big screw up happens. Are you like overwhelmed
Speaker 3: with anxiety?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm already. I'm an anxious person to begin with.
Speaker 1: That's like the thing I struggle with the most. So
Speaker 1: even like the most minor things of like I like
Speaker 1: posted a podcast wrong or something, that's where my brain
Speaker 1: goes and I feel, Mike, I feel like I have
Speaker 1: like this like a like a mark system, like on
Speaker 1: my permanent record, and if I get one more like it,
Speaker 1: totlls it up.
Speaker 2: Mike, we might need to dive into that at a
Speaker 2: different time, but hey, today you're safe.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't feel like I've had like a major
Speaker 1: screw up that was probably like, well, maybe back in
Speaker 1: the day when I was still working in Austin there
Speaker 1: was an incident that I thought I was done for.
Speaker 1: But aside from like Bobby Bone Show related stuff, I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever screwed up so much that I
Speaker 1: was really like threatened to be fired for. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just like normal crap.
Speaker 3: I think, like, and maybe you can relate to this.
Speaker 2: More of my anxiety comes from messing up and just
Speaker 2: like having to recognize my mess up, like, dang, I
Speaker 2: you know I screwed up.
Speaker 1: I've gotten better at owning it, yeah, because I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the issues I had with it is
Speaker 1: early on, I was just figuring out stuff that I
Speaker 1: would take every opportunity I was given, just because I
Speaker 1: wanted another level of responsibility. And there were some things
Speaker 1: I probably didn't know how to do early on, which
Speaker 1: was the majority where I did screw up. So there
Speaker 1: was also things that I was just never really properly
Speaker 1: how to do because it assumed I could do it.
Speaker 3: No I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I understand that because it's like you don't want to
Speaker 2: be the person that says no, like I can't do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that was very much the thing.
Speaker 2: Like when I first started, Bobby'd ask me to do
Speaker 2: something on social I'm like, yeah, I know how to
Speaker 2: and I'd be like at home, like okay, how do
Speaker 2: I figure this out? You know, tried everything I can
Speaker 2: to figure it out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's the way I kind of got ahead,
Speaker 1: was like I would figure it out eventually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like there was like a no, Like.
Speaker 2: I think that's more some of the anxiety too. It's
Speaker 2: like I can't say no. I'm just gonna say yes
Speaker 2: and figure it out later.
Speaker 1: I think that's just the key to succeeding anywhere, whether
Speaker 1: you're working radio or wherever. It's not so much about
Speaker 1: the person who can do everything, but it's the person
Speaker 1: who's willing to learn.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Because I didn't know how to do crap when I started,
Speaker 1: but I was just like, I'll figure it out. I'll
Speaker 1: learn how to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're willing and you're ready. Yeah, eager is the
Speaker 3: word there.
