We 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: often do Christmas by the tree, where all be in 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: my bathrobe. We'll all be in our pajamas, the kids 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: will be opening presents. We all actually have cups of 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: hot cope coat and it's a beautiful time and it's 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: a beautiful time to reflect not just on the love 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 2: your family has for each other, but the love God 23 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: has for us and the salvation He sent for us. Now, 24 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but over holidays, what my 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: family has always done is we go to movies. We 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: go to movies over Thanksgiving break, we go to movies 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 2: over Christmas break. I love movies. As a kid, both 28 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: my parents love movies. I would go to movies with 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: my mom and dad when I was a little kid. 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: I still go to movies with them now. 31 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: But I mean, you're a movie theater guy. Just so 32 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: people know this, I like. 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: The real theater, so I like the big screen. I 34 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: like popcorn and gummy bears, and you know, the experience 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: of being there. And by the way, I'm also rabid 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: about staying until the very end, till the last moment 37 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: of the credits play. I will not get up and leave. 38 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: There's a sense of completeness of appreciating the entirety of 39 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: the movie. And so what we decided we do today 40 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: is put together just a compilation of movies that that 41 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: I love, that I recommend to you, and and hopefully 42 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: as you're taking some time with your family, maybe you'll 43 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: go watch one of them and laugh or cry, and 44 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: it'll touch you and you'll enjoy it. And I think 45 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: art and storytelling are beautiful, beautiful things. 46 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: So that being said here in the big shows and 47 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: the big movies on Senator Cruise's list, Merry Christmas. I 48 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: get asked all the time from many of you guys 49 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: that are watching or listening right now, what is Ted 50 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: Cruz like behind the scenes. So we thought we'd have 51 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: a little fun. I'm gonna ask him some questions, and 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: you're even gonna find out what his favorite movies are. Senator, 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a little fun. I get asked all 54 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: the time when I'm all over the country. In half 55 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: of this last week in New York, so what is 56 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz really like behind the scenes? And I say, 57 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: I actually, if people got to see the side of 58 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: you that I know, you're actually really fun to be around. 59 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: You're also a huge movie buff as well, and so 60 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask some fun questions just to kind of 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: let people know behind the curtain who you really are. 62 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: So let's start with this. What is the last thing 63 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: you watched on a plane? 64 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: What is the last thing I watched on a plane? 65 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: Was outer Banks. Okay, which is a series. It's a 66 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: teeny bopper series, and it's phenomenal. I am in the 67 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: middle of season three. And there's a reason I'm watching 68 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: a teeny bopper series, which is my youngest daughter, Catherine 69 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: loves Outer Banks. She's at camp right now, yep. And 70 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: when I dropped her off at camp, she said, Dad, 71 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: I want you to watch out her Banks, and I 72 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: want you to write to me in letters and tell 73 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: me what you think is the season's progressing. And so 74 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: I've been regularly. I write to her about every couple 75 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: of days and I tell her, Okay, here's where I am. 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: I'm at this point. I'm at this point. This character 77 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: just my favorite character, JB. Yeah too, no doubt about it. 78 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: So she asked me that I'm a little troubled. Her 79 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: favorite character is JJ who who is kind of a 80 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: look I guess if you're a thirteen year old girl, 81 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: he's you know, he's always doing the dumbest thing imaginable, 82 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: but he's kind of a I like John B. John 83 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: B is a good character. 84 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: It's such a fun show. So when you were growing up, 85 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: what was it that you were watching high school college? 86 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: But by the way, spoiler alert. I apologize if you 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: haven't seen seen it, I'm gonna give a spoiler alert 88 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: right now, So just fast forward through this if you 89 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: don't want a spoiler alert. But in season two, when 90 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: when when Ward is blown blown up, I knew Ward 91 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: was not blown up, and so I wrote her, I said, yeah, 92 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: Ward just died. I'm very confident he's alive. And I 93 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: remembered they keep scuba gear in the boat. He got 94 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: in the scuba gear and then like seven. 95 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: EPs books remember those there you got to figure it out, 96 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: and you're like, they got to keep this, they gotta 97 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: keep the series. 98 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: So I felt pretty good that I was at least 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: a step ahead of the teeny Bopper series. 100 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: I like that. So what were you watching in high school? 101 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: Like? 102 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: What were your favorite shows? What was your favorite movie? 103 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: So I love movies. My parents love movies, like like 104 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: we would, you know, this is what we do. So 105 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: so every holiday, every Thanksgiving, every Christmas, my family got 106 00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 2: and watch movies. 107 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: I heard a Christmas movie. 108 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: Of course it is okay good, absolutely, yes, there's only 109 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 2: one right answer. Guy Heart is absolutely a Christmas movie. 110 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: But we would go out and do movies When I 111 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: was a kid, when I was like eight nine years old, 112 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: my dad would drop me off at the theater all 113 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: Saturday and I'd watch like five movies. I'd go from 114 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: one theater to the next to the next and just 115 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: watch everything there. It's we all love movies. So what 116 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,239 Speaker 2: I've done done today for this show is I put 117 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 2: together a list of twenty five movies. Now this is 118 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 2: not exclusive, this is not the only twenty five movies 119 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: I like, and I don't even know that it's my 120 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: twenty five favorite. But it's twenty five awesome movies, which 121 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: if you haven't watched, I recommend you watch. You will 122 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 2: enjoy them. You will laugh, you will be moved, you 123 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: will get good things from them. So let's go through 124 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: the twenty five. 125 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: I gotta ask for one more question for your twenty 126 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: five What movie have you watched the most in your 127 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: life over and over again? 128 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: Well, that actually happens to be number one on the list. 129 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: I knew it. I like this. 130 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: So my favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. Really, 131 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: I love The Princess Bride the Prince. I think every 132 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: character in it is exquisite. Every line from every character 133 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: is fantastic. I'll tell you. In college, we used to 134 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: play a game called Drinking Princess Bride. And so the 135 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: way you play Drinking Princess Bride as you sit down 136 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: with a bunch of college kids, you put the movie 137 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: on and you try to say each line immediately before 138 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: it's said. If you get it right, you point at 139 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: somebody they have to drink. If you screw it up 140 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: even slightly, you drink. And if two or more people 141 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: say the same line at the same time, everybody drinks. 142 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: So when you get to the wish, why you. 143 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: Were so sober in college now I understand. 144 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: Look, when you get to the as you wishes, everyone 145 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: can get them. So they're all socials and it is 146 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: a fun game. My problem is I know just about 147 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: every line from the movie, but I'll screw them up slightly, 148 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: so I end up kind of getting myself because I 149 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: try an awful lot of them. But is an exquisite movie. 150 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: I probably watched The Princess Bride, I don't know a 151 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: couple hundred times. No way, it is fantastic. So that's 152 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: number one on your list, far and away. Number two 153 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: on my list is The Godfather Saga. 154 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree with you more? One of the best series 155 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: ever made, period. 156 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna break it down between one, two 157 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: and three. I even like three, which is a bit 158 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: of a heretical idea. I think three stands on its 159 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: own as its own movie. The least that three only 160 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 2: makes sense in conjunction with one and two. 161 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: Which is when you're in the club. I kind of 162 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: like that, like you can't fake it and go see 163 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: number three and and think oh, that was incredible. You 164 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: have to be in it. 165 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 2: And look, I quote all of them all the time, 166 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: you know, from three. Every time I get out, they 167 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: keep pulling me back in. I will say it was 168 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: a little depressing with with my team where I turned. 169 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: You know, senate staffers are all children.

I did not ask who was responsible. 185 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: I did not seek retribution. I said, this is the 186 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: business we have chosen. None of them had any idea 187 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: what I was talking about. 188 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: Team building night in the Senate. You should totally.

To 202 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: be honest, I'm not going to because they're pretty off 203 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: color and I'm going to avoid putting out on the 204 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: podcast some of the language uh from from it. But 205 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: uh it is.

I've watched every episode of West Wing. 215 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 2: I've watched every episode of Criminal Minds. But Criminal Minds 216 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: is I just find it fascinating. Heidi hates it, by 217 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: the way, when Criminal Minds is on, She's like, turn 218 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 2: that garbage off because you know you've got evil, vicious murderers. 219 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, they're the bad guys though, it's 220 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: all about stopping them. But she just doesn't like that. 221 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: In the house, all right. Number four Fletch never seen it. 222 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: You've never seen Fletch. Go home tonight and watch Fletch. 223 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 2: It may be the funniest movie ever made. Really, Chevy 224 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: Chase plays Irwin Fletcher, an undercover investigative reporter. It is 225 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: absolutely hysterical. You know, I love Tivy Chase. 226 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: So that's that's It's. 227 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: Chevy Chase's best movie, much much better than Lampoon's Vacation, 228 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: much better than and He's Done It. I love chevy Chase. 229 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: But Fletch is head and shoulders above them all.

Grant and I quote 231 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: Fletch lines back and forth at each other every week. 232 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: Really, it is Go and watch the movie.

Grace also never seen it. 235 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: A lot of people have not seen it, but it 236 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: is a very good It is the true story of 237 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: William Wilberforce. Now William Wilberforce was a member of Parliament 238 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: in the United Kingdom who led the effort to abolish 239 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: the slave trade. 240 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: Very cool, is it true? Store? 241 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: True? Store and Wilberforce. So when he started as a 242 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: young MP, the slave trade was the United Kingdom's single 243 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: greatest source of revenue. It was their business. And he 244 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: begins as this young MP arguing we must end the 245 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: slave trade. It is wrong, it is immoral, and everyone 246 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: laughs at him. And it would be like if you 247 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 2: were in Texas standing up saying we should ban oil 248 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: and gas. 249 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it was that absurd of an idea back then. 250 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: And he spends fifty years battling for it, and the 251 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: movie ends with him successfully championing and passing the legislation 252 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: abolishing the slave trade and shutting down their most lucrative 253 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: business because it was evil. And by the way, the 254 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: title amazing grace, you know where it comes from. What 255 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: So the person who wrote the hymn amazing Grace was 256 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: a friar who had been the former captain of a 257 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: slave ship. Really, he was the captain of a slave ship. 258 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: And think of the words of the song, amazing grace, 259 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 2: amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch 260 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 2: like me. I once was lost, but now and found, 261 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: was blind, but now I see and imagine the person 262 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: writing that in that context was the captain of a 263 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: slave ship. Presumably he had murdered people, he had beaten people, 264 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: he had whipped people. He I mean, I mean, you 265 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: think of the evil entailed in being the captain of 266 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: a slave ship, and then the amazing grace that that 267 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: that God offered redemption even in the face of the 268 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: horrific evil. It puts a whole different character that the 269 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: book is is by Eric metaxash' A, who's a fantastic author. 270 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 2: Christian author does great biographies. I highly recommend Amazing Grace 271 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: Number six. Unforgiven, Never seen it? Oh, Unforgiven is. 272 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: This is why it makes me laugh when we get 273 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: to do shows like this, because I I mean, I 274 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: will go watch these now. 275 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so Unforgiven Best Western ever made won the Academy 276 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: Award for Best Picture. Clint Eastwood is in it. 277 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: I could I could do an age joke. Here was 278 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: it in black and white? 279 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, it was actually laid Eastwood. You 280 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: were actually out of diapers when it came out. 281 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha. 282 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman is in it. Gene Hackman is in it. 283 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 2: Gene Hackman is spectacular. What's interesting about Unforgiven that is 284 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 2: so powerful is it turns all of the stereotypes of 285 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: the Western on its head. So, for example, Clint Eastwood 286 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: plays this this outlaw who had turned over a good 287 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: leaf and was good and then was going back gets hired. 288 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: What happens is a a woman who is a prostitute 289 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: is badly cut up by a drunk cowboy and they 290 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 2: put out a reward to kill the cowboy who cut 291 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: her up. And Clint Eastwood, as this retired outlaw, needs 292 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: the money and so is coming to collect the reward, 293 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: and and Morgan Freeman, his partner, comes with him. But 294 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 2: there's a point where where Clint Eastwood, you know, there's 295 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: there's a young kid who wants to be a gunslinger 296 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: and and he's like practicing on shooting fast, and like 297 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: Clint Eastwood says, well, you know, for me, this is 298 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: about as fast as I can draw my gun, point it, 299 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: aim at it, pull the trigger, and hit what I'm 300 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: aiming at. And he said, in most firefights, people are 301 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: scared out of their mind and they're just terrified. And 302 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: whoever can kind of calmly engages who wins. And there 303 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: are scenes where like everyone's like, oh crap, and they 304 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: shoot their foot and they drop their gun and they're 305 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: like freaking out. And he kind of and he would 306 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: just get drunk and just sort of systematically bang, and 307 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: it really did invert many of the conventional wisdom. 308 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Of being a fast draw on everything else. 309 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: And Gene Hackman's character is hysterical. It is. He's the 310 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: sheriff who initially you think might be the hero, but 311 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: he very quickly becomes an anti hero. So excellent. Movie 312 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: number eight, Team America. 313 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: I've actually seen it, Hilary. 314 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: And I'm going a little edgy. So Team America, Team America, 315 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: World Police. It's a puppet movie. 316 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: I remember when it came out. Everybody was in shock, 317 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: but I was dying laughing. 318 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: So Heidi didn't like movies very much. I took Heidi 319 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: to see it. She almost fell to the floor laughing. 320 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: So she y'all clicked on that. 321 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: It is screamingly funny. Now it makes fun of both sides. 322 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: It makes fun of Republicans, Democrats, every ding. It's the 323 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: guys who do South Park who did it? It is puppets. 324 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: They are truly equal opportunity offenders. 325 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: It is now. I'm going to give a warning. Every 326 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: third word is a profanity. If you're offended by profanity, 327 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: skipped this suggestion, I will say. When we were fairly 328 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: newly weeds, we went on vacation with Heidie's parents down 329 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: at Lake Powell, which is fabulous, and we brought it 330 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: with us and we sort of like, Heidi and I remember, 331 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: this is really really funny, and I think we didn't 332 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: quite remember that every third word is a profanity. And 333 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: I'm sitting there with Heidie's parents as we're listening to 334 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: the blinkety blink blink blink, blink blink.

I've watched Patton probably five six 341 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: times in my life. 342 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 2: All Right, do you know what I did before every 343 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: Supreme Court argument I ever did? 344 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: Well, I can figure it out now you watch Patten. 345 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: Not the whole thing, just which scene the opening speech? Okay, yeah, 346 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 2: just the opening speech George C. Scott in front of 347 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: the gigantic flag, standing up and saying, men, the objective 348 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: is not to give your life for your country. The 349 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: objective is to make that other poor son of a 350 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 2: bitch give his life for his country. I mean, I 351 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 2: can dig that. 352 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: I can dig that. 353 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: It is sound advice. If you can watch that speech 354 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: and not be inspired, you're dead. Yeah, like it is. 355 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: See, those are my weakness movies. I love true stories. 356 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: I love good versus evil movies. I absolutely love sports 357 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: movies as well, but there's always usually a big speech 358 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: in those. 359 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 2: By the way, a buddy of mine collects historical military 360 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: equipment and clothing and uniforms, and he has patents dog tags, 361 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: no way, And I actually have worn Patten's dog tags. 362 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: They have rested on my bare chest and I literally 363 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 2: felt like I was ready to pull out a pistol 364 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: and start shooting in an airplane. Like it made you. 365 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 2: You think about that that actually rested right above the 366 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: heart of patent. 367 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: That's incredibly wild.

Newman 375 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: does something outside of like SASA like. 376 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 2: It is hysterical. It is beautifully done. Go and watch 377 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 2: what's it about? It's about conmen, okay, and it's it's 378 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 2: worth watching.

Yes, 380 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 2: I've seen that, so Awake. It's only one. So Awakenings 381 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 2: is fabulous. Robert de Niro, you're a de Niro fan. 382 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 2: I like de Niro a lot. Not a fan of 383 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 2: his politics, but a big fan of his acting. He 384 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: is a great actor. Although as much de Niro got 385 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: all the acclaim but I actually thought Robin Williams stole 386 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: the show. 387 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: Well, I love Robin Williams, So this is what this 388 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: is right at my alley. 389 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: Robin Williams is one of my all time favorite actors ever. 390 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: I mean, he's an incredible comedic actor, so. 391 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna laugh. I was asked the question if you 392 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: could have dinner with like any five people who would 393 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: be at your table, living or alive or dead. I 394 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: had Robin Williams for years in my list because I 395 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: think he's just one of the most brilliant actors and 396 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: genuinely funny human beings. 397 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: So when Robin and Williams passed, I genuinely cried and 398 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 2: I wrote a long statement about Robin Williams on Facebook 399 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: that I put up, but it just I hammered it 400 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: out of my iPad because he he is so so funny. 401 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: His stand up If you've ever watched his stand up 402 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: routine golf, yeah, I've watched the one on golf is 403 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: again profane language, but as funny as anything that has 404 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: ever been said, like screamingly funny. Awakenings, the portrayal he gives. 405 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: I actually like Robin Williams even better in dramatic performances 406 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 2: than comedy. And he's one of the funniest human beings 407 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: ever alive. So Awakening on the list, Yes, fabulous, all right. 408 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: The next two I view together, Braveheart and Gladiator. 409 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: Both amazing, no brainers, incredible and all Gibson Russell Crowe right, yes, 410 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: back to back.

Again, if you're not inspired 413 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: by them, you're dead, I will say, Mike Lee. There's 414 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: an app where you could can put yourself you speaking 415 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 2: into an audio clip. And he and I used to 416 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: send things back and forth. And you know at the 417 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: end when mel Gibson is being executed. He screams freedom, 418 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 2: so Mike would send me videos of him screaming to 419 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: Mel Gibson's voice Freedom.

Yes, wonderful movie. Incredible movie about the African 472 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: American female mathematicians who were foundational to America going to 473 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 2: the Moon. And for me, there are two kind of 474 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: personal reasons why that movie is significant to me. 475 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: Well, it's got to be because of Houston. 476 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: Well, when we went to see the movie, I took 477 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: my mother to the movie. I took Heidi to the movie. 478 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: I took both my daughters to the movie. And it 479 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: was interesting my girls. It was the first time they'd 480 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: seen a movie that had segregation. 481 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, the bathroom is the one of the most iconic 482 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: scenes in that whole movie. 483 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 2: And it led to I had a long conversation with 484 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: both of them and they were like, well, why would 485 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: people have done that? And to talk about segregation and 486 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: civil rights and just sort of walk through the history 487 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: of it. It prompted really good conversations with my girls. 488 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 2: But secondly, so my mom. My mom graduated from Rice 489 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty six and she had a degree and 490 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: she went to work as a computer programmer at Shell. 491 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: She subsequently went to work at the Smithsonian. And you 492 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 2: remember the movie Hidden Figures begins with Sputnik being launched 493 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 2: and sort of the space race being beginning. One of 494 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: my mother's first assignments at the Smithsonian was to help 495 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: compute the orbits of Sputnik. And so in front of 496 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: the girls, I asked my mom. I said, Mom, you 497 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 2: were doing this, and in fact, you were doing it 498 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: ten years earlier. You were doing it in the fifties. 499 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 2: Hidden Figures is set in the sixties, And I said, 500 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 2: how accurate is it? And my mother thought it was 501 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: very accurate. That it did a really good job of 502 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 2: conveying what it was like to be a woman in 503 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: space and science and in a technical environment. And I 504 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: commented to her, I said, okay, one of the strange 505 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 2: things to a more modern ear is that they referred 506 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: to the women there as computers. Yeah, and we think 507 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 2: of a computer as a piece of metal. 508 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: But they were actually called computers because they were actually 509 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: doing the math. 510 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: And my mother started laughing at me and she said 511 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: her first job title was computer and when she started 512 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: at Shell, she had a business card that said eleanor 513 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: dearra computer No way. And so in response to that, 514 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: I introduced legislation to rename the street in front of 515 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: NASA headquarters hidden Figures Way. And this is actually a 516 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 2: really cool story. I introduced that legislation before it could pass, 517 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 2: and we would have gotten it passed, but a DC 518 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: City councilman saw that legislation and said, you know what, 519 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 2: that's a great idea. And the DC City councilman introduced 520 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 2: it in the DC City council. Guy's a Democrat, and 521 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: he got it passed. So the DC City Council passes. 522 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: It's cool. 523 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 2: So I went to the street signed dedication and that 524 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 2: that is the street sign there, and I was there, 525 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 2: I spoke at the denaway it is the headquarters of NASA, Inc. 526 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 2: And so NASA so the address of NASA is one 527 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 2: hidden figure's way. And so I spoke of the dedication. 528 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 2: The DC City councilman spoke, and he's a Democrat. I'm 529 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: a Republican. And I told the story of my mom, 530 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: which was really cool to get to tell. And I said, look, 531 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: at some level, you might say, listen, the street sign's 532 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: not that big a. 533 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: Deal, that one is. 534 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 2: But at another level, you know, fifty years from now, 535 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: one hundred years from now, some little girl, some little 536 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: boy is going to come visit NASA and they're gonna 537 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 2: look up and see the street sign and they're gonna say, hey, 538 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: what does that mean? Yeah, and they're going to hear 539 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 2: the story of the pioneering African American women who were 540 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 2: the mathematicians that got us to the moon. And so 541 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 2: it's where movies and stories are powerful. 542 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: Did any of the characters of the movie, Did any 543 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: of them get to come to. 544 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: That that they had passed by the time we did that? 545 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: So no, all right, we just got a few more. 546 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: Schindler's List one of the hardest movies to watch. Yes, 547 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: The other one is that I can't. I've only watched 548 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: it one time because I just can't bring myself to 549 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: watch it again. Is Loan Survivor. Those two movies to 550 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: me are must sees. But I just I don't know 551 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: if it's because I've become a dad and having kids 552 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: now and watching the kids, I just can't watch them 553 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: like I used to. 554 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: So, as you know, a couple of weeks ago, I 555 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 2: was at Normandy for the eightieth anniversary of D Day, 556 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: and wildly enough I got to meet Steven Spielberg and 557 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 2: Tom Hanks, which was really cool, and I had pretty 558 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 2: extended conversations with both of them, and they've done Look, 559 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: their politics are both left of center, but they've done 560 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 2: an amazing job really honoring and telling the stories of 561 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: the greatest generation, whether saving Private Ryan, whether Band of Brothers, 562 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: whether the Pacific and so we're talking about that, and 563 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: I was talking with Spielberg about about Schindler's List and 564 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 2: just you know, talking with the heroes, the World War 565 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 2: Two heroes who almost all say, well, I could have 566 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: done more. I could have done more, and the real 567 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: heroes are under those crosses behind us. And I was 568 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 2: telling Spielberg, I said, hearing them say that reminds me 569 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: of the end of Schindler's List, where Oscar Schindler is like, 570 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: I could have done more, and he looks down at 571 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: his gold watch and he said, this watch, this watch 572 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: could have saved three more people. Three more people are 573 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 2: dead because I kept my watch. And you think about 574 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 2: the heroism of his rescuing Jews from the Nazis and 575 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: incredible courage. But at the same time, the like, why 576 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,239 Speaker 2: didn't I do even more? And that that, to me, 577 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: is the most beautiful moment of that movie, is the 578 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: sort of did I do enough? Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna 579 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: take a detour, a detour to the world of musicals. 580 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 2: So I like musicals. 581 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: Do you like Broadway? 582 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: I do.

Okay, and My Fair Lady 589 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 2: is fantastic. 590 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: I've seen it because of my mom and my sister 591 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 1: multiple times. 592 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: I've met the English. 593 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: I've never watched that. 594 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: You've got children how to speak, Norwegians learned, Norwegians the 595 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: Greeks are taught their Greek. 596 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: See, this is why I said this show would be entertaining, 597 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: because I would have never thought you were musical. It 598 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: is Spectator Broadway you've ever been to. 599 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to that. 600 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, going to get to that. 601 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 2: So the second one there is Oliver.

There's a 608 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: reason why you would have stuck me in the locker. 609 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: If if that would have that would have gotten you 610 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: a SmackDown for sure. 611 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. But so look, I all politicians are frustrated actors. 612 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 2: It's just it's just part of the the it is. 613 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: You act in high school? 614 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: Oh yes, a lot were you in?

And and my curse, Look, 631 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 2: I'm a terrible singer. I cannot carry just save my 632 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 2: in a bucket like like I wish I could I have, 633 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 2: you were not given to it. And so I actually 634 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: went and for like six months I took voice lessons, 635 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 2: so try to get be able to sing Fagan is such? 636 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: Did you get any better in the six months? 637 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 2: A little bit? And so what happened? And the nice 638 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: thing about Fagan is is Fagan's songs are more spoken 639 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: than saying. So for example, the song reviewing the situation 640 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: a man's got a hot, hasn't he? Joking apart? Hasn't he? 641 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: And though I'd be the first to admit that I 642 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 2: wasn't a saint, I'm finding it hard to be really 643 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 2: as bad here I. 644 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: See your dad next I'm gonna say, those six months 645 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: is worth it now right, I'm. 646 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: A viewing the situation. Can a fellow be a villain 647 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: all his life, all the trials worry about? To settle 648 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 2: down and get myself away. 649 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: And you remember. 650 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: I will cook and sew for you, and comfort you 651 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 2: and go for what are you in? Golder? 652 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: Are you? 653 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: And nagget you the finger? She will wag at you. 654 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: How many tickets they sell for? This is what I 655 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: really want to know. 656 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,479 Speaker 2: So I prepared that song was one. Now it's mostly spoken, 657 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: it's not release, so I could do it marginally competently 658 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 2: after six months practicing. I did that at the trio 659 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 2: and then and then afterwards music director said, hey, Ted, 660 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: stick around, and he went to the piano and he 661 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 2: said sing this, and he went d and I went 662 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 2: and he did it like three times and he goes, okay, 663 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: damn it not happening. So I was cast as Bill Sykes. 664 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 2: It's the second male lead with no singing. It's a 665 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 2: fun role. You're the villain. You get to like beat 666 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: up Oliver, twist and like you're but but I wanted. 667 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: I wanted to play that role badly, and I did 668 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: not get it. All right. Two more musicals. Hamilton, which 669 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 2: is utterly exquisite. I've seen it multiple times. It is brilliant, 670 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,479 Speaker 2: it is beautiful, it is powerful. My girls know the songs. 671 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 2: There are few things that make me happier than when 672 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 2: my daughters are singing songs from Hamilton. I mean it 673 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 2: was there was a period where they were obsessed with it. 674 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: You and I were talking about this the other day. 675 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: My dad I took him to New York for the 676 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: first time ever for seventh birthday, and you said, did 677 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: you go see a show? And I was like, do 678 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: you want to see Hamilton? He's like, I'd rather go 679 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: the Yankees game. And then the next night I was like, 680 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: we just that I'd rather have a nice meal. I 681 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: tried hard. I tried to get him to Hamilton. It 682 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: just wasn't on the list. 683 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: And then my favorite music of all time is Lemis 684 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 2: Really and I love le miss I think, do you 685 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 2: get choked out? 686 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: Be honest, because I'm a sucker for this. I get 687 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: I get the lump in the throaked up. Yeah, all right, 688 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: So what song gets you choked up? Oh? The one 689 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: that the most famous. I'm terrible with it. It's the 690 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: one that Anne Hathaway does It's so good. 691 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 2: Oh, and she won won the Academy Awards. One every 692 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 2: time it gets me, so that is beautiful. I'll tell 693 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 2: you that the two that get me choked up are 694 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 2: number one, when John Valjean is saying let him live, yep, 695 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 2: and he's looking down and he says, you know, if 696 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 2: I die, that one's InCred to me die. Yeah, let 697 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 2: him live. And it's a prayer to God to let 698 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 2: him live every time. I have tears every time. Then 699 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 2: the other one that gets me is the song empty 700 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 2: chairs and empty tables at the end when everyone has died. 701 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 2: And I will confess at the end of the presidential 702 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 2: campaign in twenty sixteen, as I walked through the empty 703 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 2: campaign office and I saw the empty chairs and empty tables, 704 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 2: I heard that rephrames of that song, so les miz 705 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 2: is exquisite. All right, by the way, when I was 706 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 2: all right, So nineteen ninety three, I was just finished 707 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 2: my first year of law school, and I had a 708 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 2: job in New York. I was working in a law 709 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 2: firm in New York for the summer, and I decided 710 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 2: to fly my mom to New York for the weekend, 711 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 2: and so it's nineteen ninety three. So actually fedexed a 712 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 2: plane ticket. And this is back when a plane ticket 713 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 2: was a piece a piece of cardboard. Yeah, I fedexed 714 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 2: a plane ticket to her with nothing else. It was 715 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,479 Speaker 2: literally she opened the FedEx package and just a plane 716 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 2: ticket to New York fell out. And she called me 717 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 2: and she's like, Ted, I assume this is you. I said, yeah, 718 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 2: I had no note, no nothing, just a plane ticket 719 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 2: and the FedEx thing. 720 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: Get on the plane.
