Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome to Mini Crush Monday with Noel Brown and Charles W. Bryant. No,
Speaker 1: you get top billing? Now? Had that happen? I think
Speaker 1: it was. I think you're just having sort of a
Speaker 1: dyslexic kind of morning, you know. Uh. No, I would
Speaker 1: be a bad movie star because I'm always happy to
Speaker 1: give up the billing. And yeah, none, none of that
Speaker 1: hard for all that stuff. I only realized that recently.
Speaker 1: And I obviously top billing is cool important, but even
Speaker 1: like production companies as to the order they're listed or
Speaker 1: whether they get a you know, executive producer, all that
Speaker 1: stuff is like contractually obligated and very very hard fought. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a thing. I when it came time to do
Speaker 1: this stuff. You should know a book. They asked us
Speaker 1: about whose name should be first, whatever, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I do not care at all. So Josh went first. Okay,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that makes I don't think he requested or joking.
Speaker 1: I'm joking. I always just go with alphabetical order, you know.
Speaker 1: That way, there's no one has to worry about anything. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: who cares? Nol Uh and by the way, we have
Speaker 1: a book out everyone if you want to buy it.
Speaker 1: Stuff you should know Colon, an incomplete compendium of mostly
Speaker 1: interesting things. The Crushers have come through, I think, and
Speaker 1: are responsible for a lot of these books. They also
Speaker 1: very very grateful for that everybody sales picked up. They're
Speaker 1: they're happier with the snack. You don't want to disappoint
Speaker 1: the book publisher. Oh my god, they'll come after you,
Speaker 1: the iron fist of the book publisher. They will fuck
Speaker 1: you up. I mean well, they're like the Iron Bank
Speaker 1: and Game of Thrones paper cuts, that's how they do
Speaker 1: it death. I have a thousand papers all right. Now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna jump right in here and get going because
Speaker 1: we got a Crusher special lined up. And this is
Speaker 1: where I mind the Crushers page for those great great
Speaker 1: posts and threads. And we're gonna start it off with
Speaker 1: Sammy Cahill. Uh. Sammy's one of our old friends, and
Speaker 1: I had just a very great sort of back to
Speaker 1: the basics post. We all missed go into the movies.
Speaker 1: We all missed that movie theater Popcorn, And Sammy said,
Speaker 1: I want to hear your popcorn eating style, one piece
Speaker 1: at a time, handful straight to the mouth, a few
Speaker 1: pieces at a time. Add add your own stuff to
Speaker 1: the comments, and I'm gonna ask you in a secondal
Speaker 1: but I chimed in and said, uh, sort of medium butter,
Speaker 1: although it's not butter, but medium whatever that stuff is.
Speaker 1: Ideally it's a place that has that orange popcorn salt.
Speaker 1: Love that stuff. Uh, and then give me, give me
Speaker 1: a shovel. I don't take my time with a popcorn, man,
Speaker 1: I fucking I rake that stuff in and get it
Speaker 1: out of the way because I don't want to be
Speaker 1: eating popcorn. I'll through the movie. I'd like to have
Speaker 1: it and be watching. Yeah, what about you. I sort
Speaker 1: of trying to fight against my impulse to just shovel by. Um. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I often will share popcorn like get you know, because
Speaker 1: get a big one and just kind of pass it
Speaker 1: around between the three or four of us that are
Speaker 1: at the movies. And so I'm a fan of the
Speaker 1: handful where I just eat three or four pieces at
Speaker 1: a time. It keeps me from gorg ng and and
Speaker 1: eating all the popcorn before the movie even starts. Otherwise
Speaker 1: I will because it's such it's such crack, dude, popcorn
Speaker 1: butter and salt. It's just a perfect combination, perfect combo.
Speaker 1: And do you do the thing Nola where if you
Speaker 1: have like the popcorn and the soda and like another
Speaker 1: thing in your hand, you're walking to the theater, do
Speaker 1: you go down there and you get some with your
Speaker 1: tongue like a frog? Yeah? Of course everyone does that, right,
Speaker 1: It's fun. Yeah. Who doesn't want to feel a little
Speaker 1: bit like a frog? And you can't wait till you
Speaker 1: get to your seat to use your hands. You gotta
Speaker 1: get some of that on the tongue. I completely agree. Alright, No,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with Rick Smith here. Rick says, by
Speaker 1: the fistful with all the butter m. Dave Croucher says,
Speaker 1: icing sugar and a couple at a time. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that is. Icing sugar is just powdered sugar. Okay, really,
Speaker 1: it's just like a Britt Britt we're talking to here.
Speaker 1: I don't know, never heard it called icing sugar, but
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I'm not really sure,
Speaker 1: but I'm interested in what you're laying down there. Dave. Uh.
Speaker 1: Sammy actually chimed in and says, I have no self control.
Speaker 1: I'm a handful to the mouth or hashtag fat ass.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Sammy, break it in. J Fraser says,
Speaker 1: sweet popcorn bowl under chin, tongue out and it sticks
Speaker 1: eat like a lizard. See there, I said frog. But
Speaker 1: yeah that's the thing. And actually there's a lot of
Speaker 1: up likes and people our old pal Carol and Gaston says, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's definitely how I eat. The top player between concessions
Speaker 1: in my seat and the premask todays yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I love. I mean, like I said, I would do
Speaker 1: that too if I didn't attempt to safeguard myself from
Speaker 1: the uh, because I too am an absolute gluttonous um
Speaker 1: fat ass. But I try to fight against those impulses
Speaker 1: to do a better job. But I don't always succeed.
Speaker 1: But I like to build in little things to keep
Speaker 1: me from you know, like if I make a bunch
Speaker 1: of food UH for dinner, rather than to keep myself
Speaker 1: from just eating all the leftovers like as a midnight snack,
Speaker 1: I will freeze it and then throw it and then
Speaker 1: set it on fire in the backyard. Exactly. No, it
Speaker 1: just it just means it has to be an extra
Speaker 1: step in order for me to access said food because
Speaker 1: it is locked up in ice. Yeah, I mean there
Speaker 1: are things that people can do, like if you're trying
Speaker 1: to drop a little weight, they do recommend things like
Speaker 1: if you go to a restaurant, like order your food
Speaker 1: with it to go box and just put half of
Speaker 1: it in there, or if you make your plate at home. Um,
Speaker 1: some people have a hard time putting a small portion,
Speaker 1: so make your regular portion and then rap half of
Speaker 1: it into the thing and freeze it. Just to make
Speaker 1: yourself feel better. We're all tryan noll, I know, man,
Speaker 1: this COVID thing. Yeah, I always doing so well for
Speaker 1: so long, and then I definitely gained that COVID fit team.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it that too. It was definitely more
Speaker 1: than that though. But I'm now getting to a place where,
Speaker 1: like I think I've I've I've dropped that COVID malaise
Speaker 1: and depression. So I'm starting to kind of try to
Speaker 1: try to like eyes on the prize it again. You know, no,
Speaker 1: me too. I lost twenty three pounds between January and March,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to lose fifty and I was like
Speaker 1: fucking halfway there almost and then gained almost all that back.
Speaker 1: Since then, I was so mad at myself. But I
Speaker 1: started two weeks ago back on a new routine. I've
Speaker 1: already dropped like four pounds and uh it's it's it's
Speaker 1: the winner during COVID. So like what else we got
Speaker 1: to do? Man? We might try and get in shape
Speaker 1: a little bit. Same here the girl that I'm seeing
Speaker 1: is giving me her extra fitbit um so cool. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Something about gamifying your status is definitely something
Speaker 1: that I that I can get behind. Yeah, I'm tracking
Speaker 1: my stuff with the Apple Lose It. Uh, I know
Speaker 1: that tracking. I think it's something like people have a
Speaker 1: better chance of losing weight if they actually track their
Speaker 1: stuff somehow. So I'm tracking, and you know, this is
Speaker 1: all in a bid for good health. People should be
Speaker 1: happy with whatever size they are if that's what makes
Speaker 1: them happy, and that same on my on my and
Speaker 1: I actually have gotten to a point where I very
Speaker 1: much am comfortable with how I look. And I've never
Speaker 1: like had a problem, like, you know, finding women that
Speaker 1: I am their type and it's not an issue. But
Speaker 1: I just you know, for my daughter and for my longevity,
Speaker 1: I just want to like do a better job and
Speaker 1: just yeah, exactly exactly. I got a family and all
Speaker 1: we want to stick around. So Johnson Line says, one
Speaker 1: piece at a time. I need to make it last.
Speaker 1: Even in the theater. I can only eat about half
Speaker 1: a bag before my body says I've had enough, so
Speaker 1: I just take the rest home. L O L. All right,
Speaker 1: there's no right way to do it. Brian Buckley says,
Speaker 1: handfuls until I finished the bowl, and whatever spilled is
Speaker 1: an extra snack. You eat those sweater pieces to a dunch, knol.
Speaker 1: I love all these people talking about a bowl. These
Speaker 1: are clearly not at the movies situations that are quitely
Speaker 1: talking about these. Yeah, I need to, I need to.
Speaker 1: I never make popcorn at home. I should do that
Speaker 1: for How do you feel about kettle corn and chuck? Sweet?
Speaker 1: Love it? Corn? You like it? You do love it?
Speaker 1: Not for movies, but I like it as a snack.
Speaker 1: It's good. Yeah, popcorn is a pretty good little snack too,
Speaker 1: if you're into losing weight. It's can be filling, and
Speaker 1: it's not. Uh it's not like the most high end
Speaker 1: calorie thing. What is it? Smart pop? That's one right, smart,
Speaker 1: A little less less caloric. Yeah, that white cheddar smart food,
Speaker 1: good stuff that they should give us some money. No one,
Speaker 1: I agree, Carolyn Gaston. We were just talking about old Caroline,
Speaker 1: or is it Caroline? If I've been saying it this
Speaker 1: wrong this whole time, as much butter as possible and
Speaker 1: unbearably salty a few at a time anymore, and I'll
Speaker 1: definitely end up with buttery grease stains on my shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that. Windy White is a one piece at
Speaker 1: a timer. J J. Verbino is giant handful than individuals
Speaker 1: from that. Okay, so it makes a little mini bowl
Speaker 1: of a mini scoop in his hand and then picks
Speaker 1: from that. Interesting. Yeah that's what I did that thought
Speaker 1: that was my thing, right, the mini scoop. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a share But also if you're sharing, you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing the lizard move either. Well, we never do that
Speaker 1: with a sharing container. But I also I will say
Speaker 1: this too when I get it for myself, I know
Speaker 1: they always try to up charge you or like upsell you,
Speaker 1: but I never go for it. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: want that much popcorn for myself because I will eat
Speaker 1: it all. So I want the smallest one. Give me
Speaker 1: the child's one. I don't care if it's twice as much,
Speaker 1: I'll pay a premium to not have fifty pounds of popcorn. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, the good deal is is the little kid's
Speaker 1: package where you get like a little small candy, a
Speaker 1: small drink, and a small popcorn. Altogether, it's not a
Speaker 1: bad deal. And you ever wonder, like, well they will
Speaker 1: they like deny you that chuck if you're an adult.
Speaker 1: I don't think they will. Hell no, this is America, knol.
Speaker 1: Eric and Sam's start out real dainty, one piece of
Speaker 1: a time saving it halfway through. I'm seeing how much
Speaker 1: can fit into my fist and why open mouth? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we all have good intentions. All I heard in that
Speaker 1: sense was fist and wide open mouth. Oh god. Uh.
Speaker 1: Courtney Abbott says, few pieces at a time. If I
Speaker 1: met the theater, I like to get nacho cheese to
Speaker 1: dip it in. WHOA, that's leveling up. Dip your popcorn
Speaker 1: and nacho cheese, That's what she says. How does that
Speaker 1: even work logistically? You gotta do it like one tiny
Speaker 1: piece at a time. Yeah, And I think your little
Speaker 1: fingies are going to get in there. You just gotta
Speaker 1: get some cheesy fingies. Cheesy fingies. But hey, that's you
Speaker 1: can lick the cheese off of your fingies, no problem,
Speaker 1: China Town Baby or old pal gin A van Balen.
Speaker 1: I like to first pick out the best looking pieces,
Speaker 1: one at a time. Then I shovel fistful as at
Speaker 1: a time. Interesting picking out the best looking pieces. I
Speaker 1: wonder how she rates those. That's a good question. I mean,
Speaker 1: popcorn typically pretty uniform and unless you do, unless you do,
Speaker 1: the drag at the bottom is different. But drags at
Speaker 1: the bottom all the other stuff is kind of the same,
Speaker 1: right it would it would seem so, it would seem so.
Speaker 1: I guess you could argue that they're like a snowflake,
Speaker 1: that no, two popcorn kernels are exactly alike. I thought
Speaker 1: you mean a liberal Democrat also that. Yeah, I gotta
Speaker 1: own those popcorn kernels. Um, but I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I'd love to you'd love to hear back
Speaker 1: on your rating system for popcorn kernels. Yeah, people get
Speaker 1: very specific here, nol. One of her old friends, Jen Max, says,
Speaker 1: as many pieces as I can grab between my thumb
Speaker 1: and first three fingers, buttery with tabasco, the popcorn claw,
Speaker 1: that's what they call or with everything bagel. Seasoning is good.
Speaker 1: Whoa you know I discovered that last year and the
Speaker 1: one that changed my life. Yeah, it's fantastic. I put
Speaker 1: it in a lot of stuff really like and like
Speaker 1: what like cooking like uh uh. Like if I'll make
Speaker 1: like a dip, like a like a salmon dip or something,
Speaker 1: sprinkled that in there, it's the seasoning. Or you know,
Speaker 1: I get my everything bagel with cream, cheese and locks,
Speaker 1: and then I also sprinkled that stuff on top. I
Speaker 1: can't get enough of it. Kayla mh is a fingertip
Speaker 1: grabber as much as I can fit in a four
Speaker 1: finger pinch uh, four finger pinch. That's a great band name.
Speaker 1: Well that's the same move that they were just talking about.
Speaker 1: Three three uh, three fingers in a thumb. That's the
Speaker 1: four finger pinch. Four finger pinch uh in cale office
Speaker 1: is this volume loss on every bite, but I still
Speaker 1: do it. I don't know why. And fresh parmesan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never been into the parmesan on the popcorn. I
Speaker 1: dig it because it has it's got a little saltiness
Speaker 1: to it already. You know, it's nice. What about you
Speaker 1: nutritional yeast with the hippies put on their popcorn really yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good. They also put that in their underarms. Lilian
Speaker 1: Rolph says, I'm sitting in a car right now eating
Speaker 1: fistfuls of boom chicken pop. Yeah. That's that's good. That's
Speaker 1: the that's sort of like the kettle corn. If I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, I think you're right. Uh, and then let's
Speaker 1: see let's finish up here. Oh, here we go. Brianna
Speaker 1: Rossi says, a few pieces at a time, lots of
Speaker 1: nutritional yeast and everything, but the bagel, seasoning, sometimes even
Speaker 1: melted coconut oil and pep rika. Wow, Brianna, that sound good, amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what is nutritional yeast. Uh. Salty, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's salty and kind of uh yeah, got it's got
Speaker 1: a nice kind of um I say, yeasty, but that
Speaker 1: is kind of what it's like. And people use it
Speaker 1: as a cheese substitute who are vegan, so it has
Speaker 1: a cheesiness to it. That's it's very good. Is it healthy?
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's it's probably got like I mean,
Speaker 1: it's probably got really high salt content and but it's
Speaker 1: definitely like you know, vegan. Okay, all right, now we're
Speaker 1: gonna move on to another one. This is from our
Speaker 1: old friend Dave Nap. He asked, very simply, what is
Speaker 1: the first DVD you ever owned? Uh? Mine, I'm almost
Speaker 1: sure nol that the first DVD I bought was Jaws
Speaker 1: Nice a long long time ago. Yeah. Do you remember
Speaker 1: when DVDs were like it was a new exciting thing,
Speaker 1: kind of like I remember Blu Ray. Uh yeah, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember. You know, I'm of the I'd like to
Speaker 1: to out my generation as being one of the best
Speaker 1: because we had um a lot of the old analog
Speaker 1: stuff like radio and records, and then cassettes and then
Speaker 1: c d s and then you know, laser disc and
Speaker 1: then vhs. Like we saw a big transition, you know,
Speaker 1: old school telephones and then old school cameras, and so
Speaker 1: we I think I like to think that Generation X
Speaker 1: has lived the best of both worlds, and I can
Speaker 1: imagine growing up in a world without some of that
Speaker 1: old stuff. You know. My daughter thinks, like I had
Speaker 1: to explain to her that cameras used to just speak
Speaker 1: cameras the other day. She's like, you mean your phone.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, Ruby, you know, at shoar pictures.
Speaker 1: I was like, he used to have a camera and
Speaker 1: that was all it did, I know, And now it's
Speaker 1: like old school. I mean, I definite. But the thing
Speaker 1: is too though, Like it used to be uh that
Speaker 1: you know, cell phone, the megapixels, like you just couldn't
Speaker 1: rival a nice DSLR camera or even you know, a
Speaker 1: film camera. But now they're so good. The sensors on
Speaker 1: the phones are so good, or you can even make
Speaker 1: like really high quality video with them. Obviously I sound
Speaker 1: like a grandpa saying that, but it's true, like you
Speaker 1: can really make something that would be indistinguishable from like
Speaker 1: DSLR footage. At this point, they make movies, they really do,
Speaker 1: and they're so small that you can really get great
Speaker 1: steady shots because there's like no hef to them. You
Speaker 1: can hand hold it and make it look like a
Speaker 1: steady cam. You know. It's great that that took my
Speaker 1: DSLR out the other day. Nol put it in the
Speaker 1: driveway and I drove over it with my car. That's
Speaker 1: how much I don't need it. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: you know, you could have sent it to some you know,
Speaker 1: aspiring young artist in Ethiopia, Chuck. But I I get
Speaker 1: the gesture. You know, I'm so mad at you right now?
Speaker 1: All right, No, do you remember your first DVD by
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, it was a handful, because I remember
Speaker 1: distinctly getting a bunch for Christmas, and I think I
Speaker 1: told you this. Maybe I didn't tell you this. Um,
Speaker 1: when I went to the fests and uh, there was
Speaker 1: a package from my ex girlfriend that I had noticed
Speaker 1: for like years, and there's someone were in there. Um.
Speaker 1: One of them was the Momento Um Criterion Collection DVD. UM.
Speaker 1: One of them was The Wall the Pink Floyd UM,
Speaker 1: and uh, one of them was The Fight Club. And
Speaker 1: then another one was Requiem for a Dream, which I
Speaker 1: was a real glutton for punishment in those days. Like
Speaker 1: I would never watch that movie again on purpose now,
Speaker 1: but I really loved it at the time. You know. No,
Speaker 1: if we had a computer program and where you type
Speaker 1: in for an algorithm movies in who that would equal
Speaker 1: as first purchases. If you typed in those movies, it
Speaker 1: would just spit out a picture of you. Those are
Speaker 1: all very much on the nose, Noel Brown first DVD
Speaker 1: purchases kind of kind of perfect, all right, Dave Knapp says, Uh,
Speaker 1: contact watch it on my computer because it was my
Speaker 1: first DVD player. Yeah, because a lot of did that
Speaker 1: when DVD players were hundreds of dollars. Yeah, man, I
Speaker 1: mean I had, like I had. I remember now and
Speaker 1: now it's like, I don't think anybody. Maybe that's not true.
Speaker 1: They are like still really high end like audio file
Speaker 1: fancy DVD players that you know, the super rich have.
Speaker 1: But I think most people just play it on a
Speaker 1: on a game gaming system these days. It seems, well,
Speaker 1: I have to Jesse Thorn is coming on the show
Speaker 1: soon and his movie Pick is only available on DVD,
Speaker 1: so I had to buy it, and I guess I
Speaker 1: will play it on my gaming system because I don't
Speaker 1: I don't have one otherwise. What's his movie? It's a
Speaker 1: movie called A Thousand Clowns. That's a great name. I
Speaker 1: love his interview style. He did a really greats. You
Speaker 1: know he's obviously it's on NPR, just on the regular
Speaker 1: role radio and so I always hear him. Um. He
Speaker 1: did a really cool interview with an artist that I
Speaker 1: quite enjoy. Has got a project called Black Moth Super
Speaker 1: Rainbow and it's sort of like weird, kind of murky
Speaker 1: electronic stuff. But he has really interesting guests and he
Speaker 1: has a nice way about him. I quite enjoy his interviews. Great.
Speaker 1: Uh he just said Dave Letterman on a show which
Speaker 1: was his bucket list guests. So very very happy for
Speaker 1: Jesse and the interview was just fucking amazing. Go check
Speaker 1: it out if you have it, dear listener, and you uh.
Speaker 1: Dave Crotcher says, I've only ever owned music DVDs. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that means. CDs are like music
Speaker 1: concerts and stuff. Maybe, but then they also will release
Speaker 1: like remastered records in surround sound on DVD. It'll just
Speaker 1: be like a static image on the TV, but it's
Speaker 1: actually like a remixed Dark Side of the Moon that's
Speaker 1: in five point one or whatever. So maybe that's what
Speaker 1: we're talking about. He could also be talking about just
Speaker 1: like concert films, but interested that is a thing. Uh.
Speaker 1: Patrick Gorman, one of our old friends, says Disney's Dinosaur.
Speaker 1: I remember reading a Premiere magazine that didn't transfer well
Speaker 1: on VHS. Oh boy, Premier magazine. I subscribed to that
Speaker 1: as a ute that what is Disney's Dinosaur. I don't
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know. I've never heard of it.
Speaker 1: James d s has lethal Weapon four. Philip Ashworth says
Speaker 1: lethal weapon for interesting. Earl pal. Brianna Rossi, who likes
Speaker 1: that nutritional yeast, also got a Backstreet Boys Live DVD
Speaker 1: as her first DVD. That's great. Vanessa Cashman Mulin Rouge, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that. The Gooch David goochs the Matrix also
Speaker 1: first DVD player I ever owned. Lauren Edwards says, I
Speaker 1: have a memory of getting almost famous in both DVD
Speaker 1: and VHS from my birthday. Interesting, that's either from two
Speaker 1: different people. It's probably from two family members who didn't
Speaker 1: know what medium that she was enjoying, don't you think?
Speaker 1: Agreed y Zack Pointer when a world friend says, I
Speaker 1: want to say it's something with Jackie Chan Drunken Master maybe.
Speaker 1: Heidi Laman says Out of Africa, what a great movie.
Speaker 1: Mike Binder says the right stuff. I bought her first
Speaker 1: family computer back in comp Usa. Oh boy, since this
Speaker 1: is our first computer, I had to buy everything. We
Speaker 1: had no components at home. The salesman, who I think
Speaker 1: it took a Caribbean vacation on my commission, offered me
Speaker 1: a free DVD at checkout. We didn't even have a
Speaker 1: DVD player at home, so we watched it on the PC.
Speaker 1: Very expensive movie. That's that's a great story, Mike, that's
Speaker 1: a great story. I had a quick question for me,
Speaker 1: backtracking like two entries ago. Dinosaur, the Disney movie it was,
Speaker 1: you know, it was a C G I movie about
Speaker 1: dinosaurs came out in two thousand. When do you think
Speaker 1: they stopped making VHS is? I don't know. You could
Speaker 1: probably find that out. I mean you probably could, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it struck like actually stopped manufacturing altogether. No.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure that you can still maybe you
Speaker 1: can still get b stock of them. But like as
Speaker 1: far as like making a release of a movie on VHS,
Speaker 1: you know, like I would think I think it would
Speaker 1: have been. I would have thought it would have been.
Speaker 1: I guess two thousand, VHS was probably still a thing, right.
Speaker 1: I have a terrible memory for dates for stuff like this,
Speaker 1: But in two thousand I was living in l A. Eight,
Speaker 1: So when they stopped making VHS is But when did
Speaker 1: DVDs come out? That was in Okay, so we're in there, yea.
Speaker 1: I mean I definitely remember I was on the DVDs
Speaker 1: in l A and that was early. Yeah, that sounds
Speaker 1: about right. Let me see here, Karen uh Guindi says
Speaker 1: the matrix. I probably didn't pronounce that right any Rowl says,
Speaker 1: don't remember which DVD, but first VHS was Purple Rain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Unless wind it up with our
Speaker 1: old pal Yevan Bodette, Honey, I shrunk the Kids and
Speaker 1: Batman Batman. That's good stuff, all right, nol And we're
Speaker 1: gonna wrap it up with one final crusher thread. This
Speaker 1: from Mike Snelling Jr. Best job in show business that
Speaker 1: can be sort of anything, no, any kind of business
Speaker 1: of show from like Broadway stage manager to movie director.
Speaker 1: Um I would say, uh, sex scene coordinator. Come on,
Speaker 1: I'm joking. I don't know. Manly there, that's it's all.
Speaker 1: It's hard work, all that stuff. I think you have
Speaker 1: to really be passionate about. I mean, I for me personally,
Speaker 1: fully artist would be a lot of fun. Well, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people on the page that want to
Speaker 1: do that, not the least of which is Gail Kuntz.
Speaker 1: Always want to be a fully artist and Chi even
Speaker 1: says does that count Well, of course it does counts.
Speaker 1: I guess to go to an operation here in Atlanta
Speaker 1: for a guy. It's a studio that is associated with
Speaker 1: Adult Swim and makes a lot of animation stuff. And
Speaker 1: had had one of those little fully pits with sand
Speaker 1: in it that you can you make up. And the
Speaker 1: pit is just like a wooden kind of plate plate
Speaker 1: like sandbox literally, and all it does is it kind
Speaker 1: of contains the sounds. Um, so it feels a little
Speaker 1: more like you know, you're in the room sort of.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can put different materials down and do
Speaker 1: footsteps or you know, put put in dirt or whatever
Speaker 1: to do like all that stuff. And you know, you
Speaker 1: would think that that stuff wasn't done custom for everything.
Speaker 1: They would just use stock stuff. But usually it is
Speaker 1: somebody looking at the screen doing footsteps. Or there's a
Speaker 1: great video of Hugh Jackman doing his grunting uh overdubs
Speaker 1: for for Wolverine right over him and he's just gonna
Speaker 1: hirl ghirl and like punching the air and like super
Speaker 1: into it. Really cool. That's great, Uh, Samuel g bets,
Speaker 1: this is kind of cool. You'll appreciate this one. Nol
Speaker 1: I used to tour a lot. One of the best
Speaker 1: jobs I've ever had was turning off the house lights
Speaker 1: and an arena right before the concert starts. Talk about
Speaker 1: a feeling of power. You hit that switch and everyone
Speaker 1: goes crazy. That's pretty neat. That's a great moment. Man,
Speaker 1: I missed that ship, so but I know, god, I
Speaker 1: miss live music. House lights. That is a It's a
Speaker 1: beautiful moment, especially when you see like texts on stage
Speaker 1: dicking around for a while and you're getting really you're
Speaker 1: getting really antsy, and then it finally happens and well
Speaker 1: they kind of clear out, it gets a little quiet,
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, I know what's happening. So great.
Speaker 1: It's tractually a big, big show, like you know, a
Speaker 1: big arena or stadium or something. Lighting is fun to like,
Speaker 1: you know, like someone who designs lighting, and then usually
Speaker 1: it's like the a lot of times the designer is
Speaker 1: the person that actually triggers it too, you know, right,
Speaker 1: yeah's heading up that team. Can you imagine how fucking
Speaker 1: off the chain live shows are going to be when
Speaker 1: people come back to them, like, just the energy, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be cool. It's gonna be amazing. I feel really
Speaker 1: lucky because like right before COVID hit like I got
Speaker 1: to see a handful of really fucking amazing live shows.
Speaker 1: So it's the same here. Not to say that, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm okay if it never comes back. That's not true
Speaker 1: at all. But I do feel like I got tied
Speaker 1: it over for literally a year without live music, because
Speaker 1: that's a big part of my life too, as I
Speaker 1: know it is, of course, all right, Karen slump heughs
Speaker 1: when our rold Friends is joint roller for Woody Harrelson,
Speaker 1: that's great. Martin Kid, says stunt man on the radio.
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta kid her in the house. Um,
Speaker 1: Travis lang Cow Welcome to the show, Travis says, have
Speaker 1: a great job. I do band meerch get to hang
Speaker 1: out with all my favorite bands, get all kinds of
Speaker 1: cool perks like free clothes, concert tickets, bar tabs. But
Speaker 1: I don't have to do anything like beyond stage or
Speaker 1: deal with the fame. Only real downside is I don't
Speaker 1: get to make the big bucks. I know you met
Speaker 1: movie show biz, but I think my job still counts now,
Speaker 1: that's anything counts. J J. Arbinos is fully artist. Uh.
Speaker 1: Courtney Hoover says it took a wardrobe in class in college.
Speaker 1: Costume designer would be my dream, but I'm just not
Speaker 1: that creative, So the costumer or buyer for the wardrobe
Speaker 1: department would be next best, I think. Plus I get
Speaker 1: to shop a lot. Yeah, shopper, that's cool job. It's
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, I mean I used to date a
Speaker 1: girl who was, uh, she's more of a set dresser
Speaker 1: for like fashion photo shoots and you know, product things.
Speaker 1: But she often had to go buy clothes, you know,
Speaker 1: for for like the models and stuff. And they have
Speaker 1: a very sneaky thing they do, or they'll they'll buy
Speaker 1: them and then use them and then return them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a thing. I mean, they're much more set up
Speaker 1: for that in l A obviously and now in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: But when I was coming up in the film in
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, there weren't wardrobe shops here, and that's what
Speaker 1: we did. He would go buy stuff and and return it.
Speaker 1: You obviously couldn't return stuff that had been worn by
Speaker 1: the cast, but you buy so many variations and you
Speaker 1: just return all that ship. But in l A, not
Speaker 1: only do they have the costume shops. There's a little
Speaker 1: insider tidbit, they also have all the department stores have
Speaker 1: studio services. So the Macy's in Los Angeles has a
Speaker 1: studio services wing that is set up just for that,
Speaker 1: like you delivery or something or will they like you
Speaker 1: just go and it's it's it's known that you're buying
Speaker 1: and returning, and it's not like a you know, you
Speaker 1: don't have to kind of like sneak it, like I
Speaker 1: just want to turn these seventeen variations of this one outfit. No,
Speaker 1: you're right, Like if it's not worn and it makes
Speaker 1: perfect sense and if they understand that's the deal, that
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be a problem exactly. Blair Christiansen. Christison says,
Speaker 1: I wish I was an editor with a rolled up
Speaker 1: newspaper so I could sit there and hit directors on
Speaker 1: the nose and say no bad boy. Jason Roberts Jason
Speaker 1: Roberts wants to be a film critic, the ability to
Speaker 1: judge others artistic vision from the comfort of a keyboard
Speaker 1: without expending a bit of creativity on your own to
Speaker 1: be judged intour ridicule. I think he's I think he's
Speaker 1: being a little satirical there. Well, I don't know, you
Speaker 1: never know. I mean, people aspire to be film critics
Speaker 1: nol I suppose so it just seems like a real
Speaker 1: miserable job. Kevin Urban says, one of our oldest friends
Speaker 1: says seat filler at the Oscars. And then our old
Speaker 1: friend Ian Lyne said that he has done that twice,
Speaker 1: definitely a fun and surreal time. And Stephanie Ruth has
Speaker 1: done it once at the Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Is that something you gotta like sign up for you
Speaker 1: just show up or has you know? I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: different processes, but no, they just picked names out of
Speaker 1: the phone book, They call you off and you are
Speaker 1: required under penalty of flogging. Yeah, it seems like one
Speaker 1: of those things. That's uh, there's probably like a little insider.
Speaker 1: You gotta be in the know on how to get
Speaker 1: on that list, and then once you do it, you
Speaker 1: can probably do it. It's true you gotta have that
Speaker 1: tuxedo or the gown, gotta fit in and not talk
Speaker 1: to the people next to you. I think that's the rule. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure you will be promptly asked
Speaker 1: to leave if you make a pest of yourself. Uh.

Speaker 1: would like to be the author of a best selling
Speaker 1: autoiography after an epic journey, and then would like to
Speaker 1: sell the rights for a screenplay. With the caveat that
Speaker 1: I get to be the music director, cast whoever you want.
Speaker 1: I picked the music. This sounded a lot less narcissistic
Speaker 1: in my head. That's cute, that's fair, that's not narcissistic.
Speaker 1: That's great, that's the perfect scenario. Stellan Carlson says fluffer.
Speaker 1: I would love to fluff pillows for a living. Wait what,
Speaker 1: oh no something? Yeah, yeah, it's cute. They don't have
