It could not be easy. 266 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: And also like there is like I can see somewhat 267 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: of what he's doing in Breakfast Champions, because he's trying 268 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: to talk about the people that he like grew up around. 269 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 2: And it's but he uses the word like as a 270 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: character is saying it for the most part, but he 271 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: also uses it as the narrator. And then that's when 272 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 2: he's using it as the narrator, it all of a 273 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 2: sudden becomes like a little sticky. You know, it's not 274 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: like this person said that, but it's rather him talking 275 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: about it. Not great, No, let me see. 276 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: Here it is. 277 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: Now there are just very depressing quotes. 278 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: I just looked at them and I was like, what 279 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: are these great funny? I think you should work this 280 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: into some sort of side stand up act, like not 281 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: your main act. But there is something funny about all 282 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: the things that in the moment you think are important 283 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: and then you go back and read it and that 284 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: you realize you are the wimpiest door who's ever been. 285 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: Because when I get when I you know, I'm reading 286 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: this one now called The Thorns.

It's 293 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: by Dawn somebody I don't remember, don So. Don So 294 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: wrote this. She Uh, there it is don Curtage.

The most out 369 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: of this world heist occurred just over twenty three years ago, 370 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 2: which ultimately led to sex on the moon literally. In 371 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: July of two thousand and two, NASA interned. 372 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: Thad Roberts that yeah, I remember that too bad. 373 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: His girlfriend of three weeks and another friend stole seventeen 374 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 2: pounds of moon rocks and a meteorite from Houston's Johnson 375 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 2: Space Center in a daring dead of the night burglary. 376 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: The crime involved authentic NASA badges, rewiring security cameras, and 377 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: neoprene body suits to a voids, setting off thermal alarms. 378 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: It took NASA several days to notice the missing six 379 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,959 Speaker 2: hundred and one pounds safe containing an estimated twenty one 380 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: million dollars worth of moon rocks from every lunar landing 381 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 2: from nineteen sixty nine to nineteen seventy two. That is, 382 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 2: those are peak years for lunar landings. 383 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: Big time. We don't even do it anymore. That's how 384 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 1: peak they were. Except they were like there's nothing up there. 385 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: This place sucks. 386 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: Roberts, the brain behind the heist, was twenty four years 387 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 2: old when he arrived at NASA, having completed a triple 388 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: degree in physics, geology, and geophysics at the University of Utah. Eventually, 389 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 2: Roberts met Tiffany Fowler, a twenty two year old who 390 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: worked in NASA's Tissue Culture Laboratory conducting stem cell research. 391 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: They began a relationship and moved in together within three weeks. 392 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: Cuckoo movie. That's a little fast. Yeah, that's some nerdy stuff. 393 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: That's a little fast than animals. Take it a month, 394 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: not a month. 395 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: Take it one month, three weeks. Three weeks is crazy's fast. 396 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 2: I mean it's just the beginning of the lunatic moves 397 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 2: these two make, anyway. Not long after, he told her 398 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: about his idea to steal moon rocks, which she said 399 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: intrigued her. 400 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: Well, she studies skin tissues or something. Yeah. 401 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: I was in love with Tiffany, he told the La 402 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: Times in two thousand and four. In my mind, I 403 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: was thinking, baby, I'd give you the moon. It would 404 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: be a romantic start to our relationship. When Fowler agreed 405 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: to be an accomplice. The duo grabbed a third person, 406 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: she Shar. That's his name, Shay Sarah Shae Sa. You 407 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 2: are no idea? 408 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: What can I buy about? 409 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 2: Shar? Also a NASA intern to help. These are all 410 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: NASA interns. I love it because you you think you're 411 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 2: a NASA intern? Yeah, probably pretty pretty dorky, these guys. 412 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: They are immediately like, let's steal twenty one million dollars 413 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: of lunar rocks and then fuck. 414 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: I liked the idea, the idea of stealing lunar rocks 415 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: to have sex on them. I liked the idea, kid, 416 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: do you like it? 417 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: I love it. I think it's the best reason to 418 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 2: steal lunar rocks. 419 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: I agree, while okay, here it is. 420 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: On July evening, the three interns pulled up to Building 421 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: thirty one, where the moon rocks were being housed. Roberts 422 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 2: now forty eight, and Fowler headed in the building while 423 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 2: Sour reportedly served as a lookout and watched the rewired cameras. 424 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: The couple, don neoprene bodysuits, went straight into the airless 425 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 2: room and fled with the safe, which was cracked using 426 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 2: a power saw. In my own head stealing something wasn't 427 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: the way I looked at it, Roberts told CBS in 428 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: twenty twelve. We weren't gonna take this money we were 429 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: getting from it to go buy a yacht or lots 430 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: of cars or a big house. Oh, we were gonna 431 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: live just the small kind of lifestyle we were. But 432 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: fun science that might change the world, you know, you 433 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 2: know kind of what NASA does. 434 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,239 Speaker 1: You're interning the place in the space program in America. Well, 435 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: I guess there's two now, but not back then. 436 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 2: Yeah then okay. 437 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: Asked why I doesn't want to have sex on a 438 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: pile of rocks. I mean, that's the ultimate, that's the 439 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: real third base as base, no rocks, third base. 440 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: Rocks rocks, second base, steel rocks, Yeah, steel rocks. Asked 441 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 2: why he went through with the heist, he said, I mean, 442 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: the simple answer is to say that I did it 443 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 2: for love. I did it because I wanted to be loved. 444 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 2: I wanted someone to know that I'd literally cared about 445 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: them that much, and to have the symbol there to 446 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: remind them of it. Using the defense that he was 447 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 2: essentially a fool in love, Roberts has argued that the 448 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 2: theft wasn't financially motivated, but the FBI said otherwise, indicating 449 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: he had been in contact with a buyer from Belgium 450 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 2: who was willing to pay the asking price of one 451 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: thousand to five thousand dollars per gram. 452 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: Oh big mistake. 453 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: Buyer, though I know, got suspicious. The buyer got suspicious 454 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 2: and contacted the FBI, who quickly sent undercover agents to Orlando, 455 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: where the sale was set to take place. 456 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: Oh so that's full of crap. 457 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: On July twentieth, two thousand and two, the thirty third 458 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 2: anniversary of the first moonwalk. 459 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: Of course, doesn't think about that when they hear that date. 460 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: It was the first thing that sprung to my mind, 461 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: one of the Big five. But also the fact that 462 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: they probably know that, do you know what I mean? 463 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: Like working at NASA, they probably definitively like scheduled it 464 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: for them. Yeah. 465 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 2: Roberts and Fowler drove from Houston to Orlando to meet 466 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: with the buyer about an hour before the sale. Though 467 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 2: Roberts had an idea good took some of the moon 468 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: rocks and I put him underneath the blanket in the bed, 469 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: he said. He and Fowler then had sex. I never 470 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: said anything, but I'm sure she could feel it. She 471 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 2: never said anything directly either, but it was more about 472 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 2: the symbol of what we were doing, you know, basically 473 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 2: having sex on the moon. He told CBS. It's more 474 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: uncomfortable than not. But it wasn't about the comfort at 475 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 2: that point. It was about the expression. And no one 476 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: has ever had sex on the moon before. I think 477 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: we can safely say that. I mean, this guy is great. 478 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 2: He put moon rocks under the bed. 479 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: Didn't mention it. She do. She had to know, right, 480 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Women know everything. Women ignore the million dumb things guys 481 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: do constantly all the time. Women are fully aware of 482 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: what is happening to them with their bozo idiot boyfriend, 483 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: and they go with it because they're like, you know what, 484 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: seventy eight percent of the time, he's all right, But 485 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: there are definitely rocks underneath this a great foam path, 486 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: and I feel everyone that, hey, you gotta get your 487 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: rocks off somehow. 488 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: Here it is Roberts. 489 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: That was good. 490 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 2: Robert's luck ran out shortly at the meeting with the 491 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: undercover agents who placed him and Flower in handcuffs. Authorities 492 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: Sour Sour and Flower later that day, and a fourth accomplished, 493 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 2: Gordon mcward, Corter mcwarter, all these people's names is amazing. Sad. Hey, 494 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 2: I'm Gordon mcwarter, I'm Sarah. 495 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: No wonder some of these guys of space. All of 496 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: them are crazy. 497 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: Uh Still, the FBI said the rocks are now virtually 498 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 2: useless to the scientific community.

Okay, 672 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: that's yea more than I would have guessed, actually, but 673 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: that's very nice. That's a good reason to say. If 674 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: you're asked, you know, so you don't say pornography or whatever. 675 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: The actual buying illegal fireworks. The study outlines frameworks that 676 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: explain the content's journey from to circulation. The first step 677 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: is called indexicaliation in dexicaliation, which is the process of 678 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: taking an animal image, gift or gift or video and 679 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: adding an emotional cue or meaning to it, like a 680 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: hashtag or a caption to signifies one relationship to it. 681 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: Next comes re indexicalization indexicalization, so this is the content 682 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: is shared and interacted with. Also, we got to come 683 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: up with a better word for that. That isn't insane. 684 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 2: That's the dumbest word. 685 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: It's just finding it, hashtagging it, sending it, is what 686 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. The final step is decontextualization, when the content 687 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: is stripped of personalized information is shaped into widely relatable 688 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: content like memes to appeal to a broader audience. Or findings. 689 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: Quote our findings imply that a companion animal's capacities as 690 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: social lubricants traversed to digital space, thus facilitating interactions and 691 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: reinforcing relationships as companion species content. 692 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 2: Also the reason that word is so complicated, Scotty, because 693 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 2: this is a person who decided to do a study 694 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 2: about sending dog pics to people. They're like, we gotta 695 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 2: make it sound like it's science and not just memification. 696 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: Step one, step two, fire it off. That's the fire step, 697 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: and then decontextualization. We know that word. We've heard that before. 698 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: The studies focused on cute animal content, but the researchers 699 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: suggest that the same principles are likely to apply to 700 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: similar types of digital content, like pictures of food or 701 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: posts featuring funny children. Not funny pictures of food, good 702 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 1: pictures of food. What about sunset kids? I wonder if 703 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: sunsets fall in here? I bet you they do, And 704 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: I bet you dick pics are the exact opposite. Well, 705 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: they should be, as they should be. Yeah, that's an 706 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: interesting thing, but I felt like it was a nice 707 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: thing that sharing cute animal picks is actually very good. 708 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: I love that one of the good outcomes of the intranet, 709 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: which is on the web. 710 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 2: It is on the web, and of course if you're 711 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 2: a member of our patreon, we got Feline Friday's Baby. 712 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, TBIF Thank Bananas.

Who is on 787 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: who I think completed but might be on a five 788 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: thousand mile cross country bicycling trip to raise money for 789 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: nam I, which I'm going to just call it NAMMY. Yeah. 790 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: NAMMY is the country's largest grassroots mental health organization that 791 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: is dedicated to all those affected by mental illness.

His 796 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: daughter said it bananimal, but I found an article about 797 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: Michael that's and his quote said, I have wanted to 798 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,959 Speaker 1: ride my bike across country since I was a little boy. 799 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: Nammy came into our lives much later in life. But 800 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: we decided, as I pulled the retirement parachute and do 801 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: the bike ride, I should also do it for something 802 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: besides just riding my bike. And again, Michael raised twenty 803 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: five thousand Sammy, which is mental illness.

This was in The Guardian. 826 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 2: This was written by Dahlia Alberje. 827 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: Hell Yeah. 828 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 2: Composer John Williams says he never liked film music very much. 829 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 2: As one of the most As one of the greatest 830 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 2: composers in film, John Williams has written some of the 831 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 2: most memorable music in cinema for masterpieces such as Jaws, 832 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 2: Jurassic Park, and Star Wars, but despite winning five Oscars, 833 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 2: the ninety three year old believes that as an art form, 834 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 2: film music pales in comparisons to history's greatest works. I 835 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 2: never really liked film music very much, he confessed in 836 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 2: a rare interview for a forthcoming biography. He added, film music, 837 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 2: however good it can be, and I usually it usually isn't. 838 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 2: Other than maybe an eight minute straight here and there. 839 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 2: I just think the music isn't there, that what we 840 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 2: think of as this precious, great film music is we're 841 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 2: remembering it in some kind of nostalgic way. Just the 842 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 2: idea that the film music has the same place in 843 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 2: the concert hall as the best music in the cannon 844 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 2: is a mistaken notion. I think he added a lot 845 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 2: of film music as ephemeral. It's certainly fragmentarian. Until somebody 846 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 2: recon reconstructs it, it isn't anything they can even consider 847 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,240 Speaker 2: as a concert piece. Among the more than one hundred 848 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 2: movies he's scored are the Indiana Jones films, E T. 849 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 2: Schindler's List, in the first three Harry Potter films. He 850 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 2: is the world's most nominated living Oscar recipient, with a 851 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 2: record fifty four nomination recognized that his music has played 852 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 2: a crucial role in enhancing and heightening a film's emotional 853 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 2: emotion and atmosphere. With two haunting notes, he captured the 854 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 2: chilling threat of Great White Shark and Jaws We Whoop, 855 00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 2: while his mournful Jewish lament in Steven Spielberg's The Shindler's 856 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 2: List conveyed the heartbreak of the Holocaust. He was interviewed 857 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 2: by Tim Grieving for a biography. Grieving was taken aback 858 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 2: by Williams's dismissal of film music. Quote his comments are 859 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 2: sort of shocking, and they're not false modesty. He is 860 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 2: genuinely self deprecating and deprecating of film music in general. 861 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 1: And inside of his platinum metal airplane flying around just 862 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: burning one hundred dollars bills for fuel. Oh this sucks. 863 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,280 Speaker 1: Oh this music terrible. I could only live the perfect 864 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 1: life doing the thing I love for ninety three years. 865 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 1: Booh this sucks. Only made a billion people happy with 866 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: these songs. Boo, I mean I love Sure he's right, 867 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: but what a jackass. I'm sure John Williams is a 868 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: genius and he's absolutely right. Knows more about music than 869 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: I'll know about any subject, including even being myself. Yeah, 870 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: and yet he's completely wrong about it. 871 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 2: It is so funny where someonhen someone is just like 872 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 2: listened to the like, yeah, agree, they're iconic songs, right 873 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 2: Inana Jones, Star Wars, Jurassic Park. It's all. They're all 874 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 2: iconic songs. But if they were not attached to the movie, 875 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 2: they would not be rememberable if they were not part 876 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 2: of that memory of that film, and how how much 877 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 2: you like that film, I don't think they would stand 878 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 2: as pieces of music on their own. 879 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: It's interesting because I what music isn't tied to nostalgia. 880 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: I think he's saying it's tied to film nostalgia. I 881 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: think all music is tied nostalgia. I think everybody loves 882 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: music that reminds them of a moment or a friend group, 883 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: or a person, So I think the only value of 884 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 1: music is nostalgia. Interesting argument well, also because I'm not 885 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: somebody that loves music the way that a lot of 886 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: people love music. And I've thought about it so much, 887 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 1: like why don't I just love new music as much 888 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: as other people? And I think when I've been I 889 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: was at a wedding and there was a cover band 890 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 1: and they're playing classic crappy club band music, but we 891 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: all have fun. And then they played Taking Back Sunday, 892 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: which for some people is a very popular band that 893 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: was a little behind your my time, but people were 894 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: singing and pointing and sweating and screaming the lyrics so 895 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: much that I'm like that that's all means more than them. 896 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: But they're thinking about being in high school or in college. 897 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 1: They're not thinking they're connecting because they all had different experiences, 898 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: different places, but that band brought them together. So if 899 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: hearing the opening song to Star Wars makes nostalgic for 900 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: people that love Star Wars and that kind of thing, 901 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: but also so is the first time your teacher went, hey, 902 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 1: here's Mozart and you're somebody passed you a note and 903 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: had boobs and a middle finger drawn on it. And 904 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 1: if that Mozart reminds you of that it makes you happy, 905 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: then mission accomplished. 906 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 2: I agreed. I agree with a other present. I also 907 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 2: bet you John Williams shits on popular music as well, 908 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 2: because popular music is by far not as complicated as 909 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 2: like Beethoven and Bach and stuff like that. 910 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's like Spielberg lockches the water Boy the 911 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: say in the movie loves it. It's one of his 912 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: favorite movies. Christopher Nolan recently said that if Talladega Knights 913 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: is on, he drops his remote and finishes Talladega Knights. 914 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,800 Speaker 1: So I bet John Williams, like, I bet there's a 915 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 1: pop pop song that he is just like, I love 916 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: this song that is. 917 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,800 Speaker 2: Have you seen these letterboxed interviews on on Instagram. 918 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 1: I've seen some, but I'm not too familiar even. 919 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 2: Basically, letterbox is an app where you can share like movie, 920 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 2: you know, for people who love movies, and they can 921 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 2: say like I saw this movie. They review movies. They 922 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:38,439 Speaker 2: it's really cool. But they whoever their marketing is going 923 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 2: up to people on the red carpet and saying like, 924 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 2: what's your letterbox five or whatever? Okay, and so like 925 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 2: movie stars now expect it and whatnot, and so everyone's 926 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 2: got their list and it's always just like I wish 927 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 2: they were fucking like honest. The only honest one I've 928 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 2: seen is Seth Rogan's where they're all just popular mainstream movies. 929 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 2: He's just like, these are my favorite movies, and they're 930 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 2: all popular mainstream movies. Everyone else's is like the first one, 931 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 2: it's like Happy Gilmore, Star Wars, and then three movies 932 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 2: you've never heard of, Oh, the nineteen seventy six silent 933 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 2: Japanese film a Kuratunoto, And it's just like, no, that's 934 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 2: not the film you put on to relax when you 935 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 2: come home from a. 936 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 1: Hard day at work. Of course. Not. I pitched not 937 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,840 Speaker 1: long ago a rom com to Zoey Deschanel and the 938 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 1: pitch was going really well and for her to star 939 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: in it, and towards the end she was like, what 940 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,320 Speaker 1: is your favorite movie?

Yeah, jewels and Jim. Don't you 945 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 1: love jewels and gym so much? And instead I was like, well, 946 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,520 Speaker 1: it changes all the time, and it's usually based on 947 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 1: something I watched and I've been thinking about a lot, 948 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: and right now it's Silence of the Lambs, and it 949 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: fell like, I knews you it ends. 950 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 2: The Lambs is an excellent movie. 951 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: It's incredible.

But what makes 957 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,840 Speaker 1: that movie so good is Clarice Starling played by Jodie Foster. 958 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: Every man in it is staring at her and trying 959 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: to get in roads with her and hitting on her 960 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 1: while she's just trying to do her job.
