Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush Mini Crush with
Speaker 1: Me Charles W. Chuck Bryant, andrus Noel Brown. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean they're interrupted. You do such a pleasant
Speaker 1: opening with your voice. You have this lilting quality. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to join in with it. You just want
Speaker 1: to basically join in. I think this is a better
Speaker 1: way for you. I just wanted to say, and me,
Speaker 1: uh so, Noel. We're recording now two hours later than normal.
Speaker 1: It's like, weird, What is it? How does it feel
Speaker 1: to you? Chuck? Different? Different? Different can be good though, right,
Speaker 1: sure a little change will do you good? Is that
Speaker 1: Bonnie rate change good? I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like I hear slide guitar in there. If
Speaker 1: I hear slide guitar and my mind immediately goes to
Speaker 1: Bonnie rate, Bonnie rate as it should or Dwayne Aulman
Speaker 1: uh SONL I have on my list here catch up
Speaker 1: and then we have one only one thing from the
Speaker 1: Crushers to go over. And then sort of because we
Speaker 1: have sort of an extended stream this because I've been
Speaker 1: watching a lot of ship I have too well good,
Speaker 1: that's perfect. Then, Um, I thought you might want to
Speaker 1: sort of give us an update on your Seattle trip,
Speaker 1: which I know about, but I know you'd love to
Speaker 1: share this with your your friends because you even hung
Speaker 1: out with a crusher. I did, and by the way,
Speaker 1: a change will do you good. I was in the right.
Speaker 1: My heart was Geryl. It's Cheryl Crowe, but she's very
Speaker 1: much a Bonnie rate acolyte, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like I feel she looked up the Bunny rate quite
Speaker 1: a bit. I think so, I think. So see how
Speaker 1: all is a magical place, chuck, I I I kept
Speaker 1: hearing this from friends really whose opinions I really value, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and who are like very seasoned travelers, use
Speaker 1: yourself being one of them. Um. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of a trip like that has to do with who
Speaker 1: you know, where you go, and like what things you know,
Speaker 1: what recommendations you get. I had some great ones. I
Speaker 1: did pretty much all the touristy stuff, but I also
Speaker 1: did a lot of like off the beaten path stuff.
Speaker 1: Went to Biscuit bitch um really good, really high quality stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: they weren't doing seating, but it was really lovely you
Speaker 1: got to just sit outside on these little patio tables
Speaker 1: and wait with your fellow uh you know, um to
Speaker 1: go food humans. That's what I do there anyway. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever eaten in there. I just always
Speaker 1: grab and go. Yeah, And then we took it with
Speaker 1: us and we walked from there to the little park
Speaker 1: area where the Space Needle and the Museum of Pop
Speaker 1: Culture are and we stopped and ate and then you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, it was my daughter who's twelve, and
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and um, it was just fantastic. We we
Speaker 1: met up with the gooch Jue. Uh. He works at
Speaker 1: a really cool cidery which is um you know there.
Speaker 1: You know, if you think about cider choices right at
Speaker 1: the bar, and I think of like Strongbow and like
Speaker 1: Woodchuck and like kind of just the obvious ones that
Speaker 1: are always a little too sweet. This place, the Seattle
Speaker 1: Cider Company, made these really subtle ciders that aren't sweet
Speaker 1: at all, but just have a lot of like flavor
Speaker 1: and different kind of you know, um, variations, like some
Speaker 1: different different fruits that they used in different kind of
Speaker 1: like you know, things to kick it up a notch.
Speaker 1: And he took us up for a tour that my
Speaker 1: daughter stayed at the hotel, but my girlfriend and I
Speaker 1: he took us for a tour through their canning facility
Speaker 1: and it was huge in this big industrial area in
Speaker 1: like so do I think it's what it's called south
Speaker 1: of downtown, UM, which is largely industrial. And that was great,
Speaker 1: and um, my daughter is really funny, Chuck, I think
Speaker 1: I told you we were going. The whole impetus for
Speaker 1: going was there was this Minecraft exhibit at the Museum
Speaker 1: of Pop Culture. Uh. We got there, had a wonderful
Speaker 1: first day, went to the Pike's Street Market and all
Speaker 1: of that, UM, and she just loved the town. Everyone
Speaker 1: was like complimenting her on her outfit because she was
Speaker 1: wearing her like cool kind of anime stuff. And then
Speaker 1: we got to the hotel and we're gonna buy a
Speaker 1: ticket for my girlfriend to the thing, and we realized
Speaker 1: that we were a day late and that the Minecraft
Speaker 1: exhibit had closed the previous day. Wow, dad fail. It
Speaker 1: was a dad failed, But it was also a dad win, Chuck,
Speaker 1: because she didn't care. She had such a great first
Speaker 1: day and loved the city so much that she was
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I don't really care that was kind
Speaker 1: of the last thing on my mind, honestly, after we
Speaker 1: had such a wonderful time. Um, of course, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's great, no matter what's fabulous. They had all this
Speaker 1: like horror stuff and sci fi stuff, and they had
Speaker 1: like a whole floor a pearl jam got their own floor. Dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen that. It's pretty pretty awesome, really great. It
Speaker 1: was as a Nirvana exhibit with like all the you
Speaker 1: know guitars like the um that Tama drum kid that
Speaker 1: you see and the smells like teen Spirit with which
Speaker 1: is such a trashy punk rock drum set. When you
Speaker 1: look at it, it's held together with like duct tape.
Speaker 1: I love that they took that punk rock d i
Speaker 1: y aesthetic like until the end, you know it's great
Speaker 1: and then no, it sounds like you you had a trip,
Speaker 1: much like Emily and I did the first time she
Speaker 1: went to Seattle, which is hitting it on a good
Speaker 1: a good weather weekend in the spring, which you know,
Speaker 1: Seattle is very weather dependent. It's a great town always
Speaker 1: and if you live there, you're certainly used to the
Speaker 1: dreary drizzlies that occupied that town many days of the year.
Speaker 1: But if you hit that town in a spring on
Speaker 1: a nice weekend, dude, it is truly magical and you
Speaker 1: will fall in love with it and want to move there. Well,
Speaker 1: we got the drizzlies coming in, um, and then it
Speaker 1: cleared right up that very same day. We got in
Speaker 1: really early and it was a gorgeous day and we went,
Speaker 1: like I said, by the market, which is obviously right
Speaker 1: along the coast and everything, or you know that what
Speaker 1: is at the Puget Sound. And then the second day
Speaker 1: we went to this place called gas Works Park, which
Speaker 1: is in Yeah, I've been there, um, and it's just
Speaker 1: like this incredible park with like all of these industrial
Speaker 1: kind of looming, rusty industrial gas works, you know, structures
Speaker 1: that are all roped off, but a few of them
Speaker 1: are kind of have been repainted and like repurposed into
Speaker 1: you know, things you can lean on or whatever. And
Speaker 1: there was a band playing and like it just felt
Speaker 1: like San Francisco or something. It was very alive and vibrant,
Speaker 1: and there were these like hippie dude slack lining you
Speaker 1: know where you take those straps and wire walking, and
Speaker 1: Eden was fascinated by it, and they saw her kind
Speaker 1: of eyeball on it, and they're like you want to
Speaker 1: try it, and so like they one of them held
Speaker 1: her left hand, I held her right hand, and she
Speaker 1: walked all the way across. It was just a little
Speaker 1: moments like that that just felt serendipitous and connecting with humans.
Speaker 1: And God got to mention, this is the first travel
Speaker 1: and opportunity to connect with humans, not in my very
Speaker 1: very close small circle. So it was very cathartic. Chuck
Speaker 1: all around. That's amazing. Thal, I'm so glad you got
Speaker 1: a great weekend in Seattle. It is one of the
Speaker 1: great American cities. That's why we go there every January.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's why. It's just it's just the best.
Speaker 1: And when Emily and I went, we the deal was
Speaker 1: sealed when we went into bars and there were dogs
Speaker 1: and bars, and she's dogs and bars. Can we move here? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's I would dude. My my girlfriend was like, I
Speaker 1: would totally move here. And so is eaten after a
Speaker 1: couple of days. Um. Huge shout out to Crusher Darien
Speaker 1: as well, Um who gave some excellent recommendations for something
Speaker 1: I had too many folks to list to list reached
Speaker 1: out who were like, welcome to Seattle, and it was
Speaker 1: just like everyone was so kind and like welcoming, and
Speaker 1: and so many crushers reached out with amazing recommendation. I
Speaker 1: couldn't even do it all. But we're going back. Uh,
Speaker 1: definitely going back. That's great. I love it, man, I
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. I love it. I miss it.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back. Uh Seattle trip, let
Speaker 1: me see. Oh, I just thought i'd quickly mentioned and
Speaker 1: apologize since this is my only venue to do. So.
Speaker 1: We did our three D episode everyone hates it nol
Speaker 1: oh the stuff you should know episode? Oh, I mean feedback.
Speaker 1: Negative feedback started coming in minutes after we released it.
Speaker 1: Unlistenable to many listeners. I believe, in my opinion, it's
Speaker 1: an ablest thing to do because people that have hearing
Speaker 1: issues couldn't literally couldn't even listen to it. It didn't
Speaker 1: even register for some people because they have hearing problems.
Speaker 1: And I certainly don't like that. So we are not
Speaker 1: too happy about it, and we kind of put the
Speaker 1: word out to the company that please don't include us
Speaker 1: again in any audio experiments like this. Yeah, we did
Speaker 1: it for um ridiculous history, and we did. We did
Speaker 1: half the episode that way. Um. It was kind of
Speaker 1: funny because we like it was about an auto race
Speaker 1: like this big like cross Country got it was like
Speaker 1: a world like spanning auto race. And so we did
Speaker 1: like the final stretch of the race in glorious three
Speaker 1: D audio, and I think it turned out okay. But yeah,
Speaker 1: doing it for a whole episode could could be a lot.
Speaker 1: I could see. Yeah, It's just it didn't fit our format.
Speaker 1: So uh, it just wasn't a good fit. And I
Speaker 1: didn't want to do it to begin with. I fought
Speaker 1: against it, but we caved. And I wish I had
Speaker 1: in a cave I should just stick to my guns
Speaker 1: and say no, no. You gotta say no. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: gotta say no, chuck. But I could see how it
Speaker 1: would be a good fit for your show. It was
Speaker 1: fun and we will. Oh and by the way, if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plug something with you the audio, I have
Speaker 1: to plug what we did for stuff they don't want
Speaker 1: you to know, because Matt Frederick is kind of the
Speaker 1: three D audio guru for the company. And we did
Speaker 1: this like re enactment of this remote viewing session, which
Speaker 1: is like a thing the CIA used to do. You
Speaker 1: know all about this, But if anyone isn't familiar. It's
Speaker 1: like basically using psychic abilities to you know, it's often
Speaker 1: you hear about the CIA using it to like FBI,
Speaker 1: maybe even to find bodies and to find someone missing person.
Speaker 1: But there was one particular transcript it's absolutely real, where
Speaker 1: it's someone in like one of those sensory deprivation tanks
Speaker 1: talking about traveling with their mind to like an alien planet.
Speaker 1: Um and Ben plays the subject. I play the monitor
Speaker 1: and Matt plays the supervisor, and Matt mixed the whole
Speaker 1: thing and three like did it all in post with
Speaker 1: like really cool immersive effects, like you feel like you're
Speaker 1: in the tank with the guy. And I actually did
Speaker 1: a really dron e psychedelic score for that. I did that.
Speaker 1: I did live so well. I will listen to that. Actually,
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear that. It's only thirteen minutes. It's
Speaker 1: literally like one and done kind of immersive piece, and
Speaker 1: we only released it like that on its own. It
Speaker 1: comes out today. That's cool. I'm gonna tell to day
Speaker 1: they record with those headphones on. Uh. In one more
Speaker 1: final little piece of business for the Crushers, just to
Speaker 1: let everyone know. UH, sometimes when I interact on the
Speaker 1: Crushers page, it interacts as movie Crush, and sometimes it
Speaker 1: interacts my personal Facebook page, uh and invariably, and this
Speaker 1: is understandable. Whenever I interact is my personal Facebook page,
Speaker 1: I will get friend requests from from listeners, which is
Speaker 1: very very sweet. Um, but no listener, if you have
Speaker 1: tried to Facebook friend me personally and I have not
Speaker 1: friended you back, please don't take offense. I'm not even
Speaker 1: really on Facebook that much, and when I am, it's
Speaker 1: just my like really close friends and family. It's not
Speaker 1: something I use for professionally. That's why I have movie Crush.
Speaker 1: I used to have a I mean it's still up there,
Speaker 1: that Charles W. Chuck Bryant page, but I don't really
Speaker 1: do anything there either, so I just wanted to love
Speaker 1: it out. There are some like really great old pals
Speaker 1: have tried to friend me in and I didn't want
Speaker 1: them to feel bad. So it's nothing personal at all.
Speaker 1: It's just not what I use that page for. It's
Speaker 1: just very It's a very small group of friends and family,
Speaker 1: and like I said, don't even post, you're not missing
Speaker 1: anything anyway, makes perfect sense. Follow me on Instagram though,
Speaker 1: if you like. That's where you'll get if you want
Speaker 1: to see pictures of my dumb face and my family
Speaker 1: every now and then chuck the podcasters where you can
Speaker 1: see that. So I hope everyone understands that it's not
Speaker 1: not personal, so I shouldn't be a friend of that.
Speaker 1: You didn't accept my friend of question. I'm your friend
Speaker 1: and then your friends with with crushers and stuff, and
Speaker 1: that's great because that's your jam here here and there.
Speaker 1: But I use Facebook very differently too, Like I really
Speaker 1: don't use Facebook hardly at all. You never work stuff.
Speaker 1: I I my posting territory is exclusively Instagram, where you
Speaker 1: can follow me at how now Noel Brown if you wish, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's still really I'm enjoying Instagram. Actually no, it's a
Speaker 1: it's that I avoided for a long time, and I
Speaker 1: have quite a good time there. I love the people
Speaker 1: I follow are really fun. Here's a pro tip for
Speaker 1: everyone in the world. Um follow Amy Sadaris for God's sake,
Speaker 1: God do it. Yes, it's the best. It's best Instagram feed.
Speaker 1: She curates stuff and it's just always delightful and fun.
Speaker 1: Like she's always posting like vegetables that look like Dick's
Speaker 1: or or a a cat. You know, she posted one
Speaker 1: yesterday of a dog. Actually that um as soon as
Speaker 1: the person left the room, the dog like pulled the
Speaker 1: covers up, turned out the lamp and turned on a
Speaker 1: fan and got back in bed. And I was like, what,
Speaker 1: that's amazing that one. I love her, but she sources it,
Speaker 1: so it's it's very cool. Oh she does exactly, and
Speaker 1: that's so important. It is. All right. Now we're gonna
Speaker 1: move along to a post from a Crusher that had
Speaker 1: been unaware to me previously. I don't know if Steve
Speaker 1: is new or Steve just had a I don't think
Speaker 1: Steve is new. I just haven't seen him around. But
Speaker 1: he had a really brilliant post. Uh, this is Steve
Speaker 1: b enemy. That's how I'm going to pronounce that. And
Speaker 1: he said this null name a thing you've seen only
Speaker 1: in movies that you know exists, but you've surprisingly never
Speaker 1: seen it in real life. And he used an example
Speaker 1: like I've never seen a treehouse or a butler or
Speaker 1: quicksand in real life, but those, yeah, I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: you know Steve might live in the in the city.
Speaker 1: You don't see tree houses in the city. I do
Speaker 1: have to say, Chuck, I happen to grow up in
Speaker 1: a house that had a treehouse, but it's not something
Speaker 1: I see often and you and to to typically these days,
Speaker 1: rather than a treehouse, you'll just see a very elaborate
Speaker 1: play place assembly. Like I'm not a proper treehouse. I
Speaker 1: would think you need to get a permit to build
Speaker 1: a treehouse, Chuck m You know in Atlanta there's as
Speaker 1: a name for something behind your house called an a
Speaker 1: d U an accessory dwelling unit. So if you want
Speaker 1: to build a little tiny office in your backyard, you
Speaker 1: got to go through the permitting for a d U
Speaker 1: S And I wonder if treehouses is the same. Do
Speaker 1: you think they had a permit for that treehouse and
Speaker 1: hereditary that could have solved everything if they'd only had
Speaker 1: a permit. Yeah, that's what That's what you get. That's
Speaker 1: the takeaway. Skip the permitting process. Always get at and
Speaker 1: not Bill's above. What was the name of the uh
Speaker 1: piemon pimon your treehouse five month? I'd like to see that.
Speaker 1: He's the demon of bureaucrats exactly. You didn't fill out
Speaker 1: your permit, you will die, all right. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: start off with Barbara Weiss Icebergs. I've never seen an
Speaker 1: iceberg in all of you. I've seen one right ahead,
Speaker 1: get it, I guess it. I have. I have not
Speaker 1: too soon seen nice. I don't think it's too soon
Speaker 1: for the Titanic. Let me see here. Mike Sam says,
Speaker 1: b days, I have, I own a bi day. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so I just got one to know. Finally, what what
Speaker 1: do you got? I have a Tushi but because I
Speaker 1: got it, but I really want to upgrade. Do you
Speaker 1: have a nice one to have a total washlet? I
Speaker 1: have a total washlet. I finally got one after years
Speaker 1: and years of complaining about wiping my butthole with dry paper,
Speaker 1: which is the dumbest thing ever. But days are the ship.
Speaker 1: I really didn't mean that, but they're great. But the
Speaker 1: reason I never got a Toto washlet was because it
Speaker 1: requires power and all, and I don't have an outlet
Speaker 1: next to my toilet. And I finally said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get an electrician out here. Put an outlet
Speaker 1: next to that goddamn toilet. There you go and get
Speaker 1: a washlet because I want warm water shot towards my
Speaker 1: butt hole. It's it's mean, it's those have even like
Speaker 1: directional controls, and you know it's quite warm. You know that.
Speaker 1: Even the tissue, which is very analog, very nonpowered, is
Speaker 1: a game changer. I absolutely love it. So I used
Speaker 1: to have one like that where it's just the cold water,
Speaker 1: just the cold water. But I like the cold water. Honestly.
Speaker 1: It gives you a nice little wake up shot, a
Speaker 1: little house your father just so. But sure there were
Speaker 1: years where I didn't know. They always make the joke
Speaker 1: and movies too, about like mistaking a biday for a
Speaker 1: water fountain, you know, which is funny because it's nothing
Speaker 1: like that. Right, I've never I've never used a real
Speaker 1: bid at like a separate unit. That's the one I'm
Speaker 1: to have in Europe. Yeah, I think it was a
Speaker 1: little more fountain esque and less super soaker. You just
Speaker 1: lift a leg, You just kinda like, yeah, thereul, you
Speaker 1: stand on. I don't know what any European crushers out
Speaker 1: there let us know how that works. Yeah, let us know.
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, watchle game changer. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. The only well, never mind, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna go there. Uh well, I'll go ahead and say it.
Speaker 1: Why not. The only weird thing is because it makes
Speaker 1: noise the second you sit down to engage it, so
Speaker 1: like your daughter can't go in there and press the
Speaker 1: button and have water shoot all over the place, So
Speaker 1: you actually have to sit on it and it engages
Speaker 1: it and starts this little whirring sound. I do my
Speaker 1: business and then I'm forgetting to flush the toilet for
Speaker 1: some reason now, because it's like that's filling up that
Speaker 1: part of your brain. Maybe that's the process would probably
Speaker 1: take place. Yeah, I bet you that's exactly it. So
Speaker 1: quite a few times Emily has been like, what the
Speaker 1: funk are you doing? Are you regressing in life? Maybe?
Speaker 1: And I am, but that has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the the toilet flushing. So I've gotten better about about checking.
Speaker 1: Now you got me, you got me Amazon, ng Toto
Speaker 1: washlets now because I feel like I need to up
Speaker 1: my game a couple of hundred bucks, two or three
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. But that's the thing, though, Chuck, They're they're
Speaker 1: all over the place. There's one for nine. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: one I'm looking at. No, No, I know exactly the
Speaker 1: when you're talking about us. The Toto s W two
Speaker 1: O one number one A one electric but day toilet
Speaker 1: cleansing warm water and heated see elongated cotton white washlet.
Speaker 1: How much is that one? Yeah? That sounds exactly right.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah. And then I think it costs me about
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty bucks to get an outlet installed.
Speaker 1: But it'll pay for itself over time because I'm not
Speaker 1: having to buy that toilet paper like it. Well, you
Speaker 1: you needed to dab, chuck, you need to dab, but
Speaker 1: you used it a square, you know, sup squares? I'm okay.
Speaker 1: Maybe I see. I don't own my house though, so
Speaker 1: it's like, do I really want to sink money running
Speaker 1: an outlet? I'm going to buy a house next year,
Speaker 1: so maybe I'll just I'll hold out that. You know what, nol,
Speaker 1: you buy a house and that'll be your housewarming gifts.
Speaker 1: I will buy you a Toto washlet. You gotta get
Speaker 1: power hooked up. I'm not gonna spring for that too.
Speaker 1: I've been springing. I had to appreciate it. One of
Speaker 1: the crushers yesterday, uh posted Jeff Cassis that he dropped it.
Speaker 1: He's listening to movie Crush on a construction site and
Speaker 1: draw his earbud, brand new earbud in the porta potty
Speaker 1: in that deep blue grossness, and uh, I was just
Speaker 1: feeling like I should do something, so I to had
Speaker 1: him send me his name and address, and I'm replacing
Speaker 1: those earbuds for him at my own spend. What a
Speaker 1: sweetheart you are. I got something real quick. Back to
Speaker 1: Seattle really quickly. There's a brand of Porta Potti in Seattle.
Speaker 1: It's called honey Bucket. Oh okay, why why? Well, you
Speaker 1: know what on a film set. This is all coming
Speaker 1: back around No Old two movies. Uh, the ship wagon,
Speaker 1: it's called a honeywagon on a film set. So when
Speaker 1: they bring in the big trailer with like eight toilets,
Speaker 1: it's called a honeywagon. Oh well, that's that. That's obviously
Speaker 1: where this is related to. Thank you for solving that mystery.
Speaker 1: I was like, what weirdo came up with this idea?
Speaker 1: Of course that doesn't really explain anything, because that doesn't
Speaker 1: at least it's related to a pre existing weird thing,
Speaker 1: that's right. Uh So anyway, Yeah, I bought some earbuds
Speaker 1: for Jonah. I'm sending them to Canada. Uh and uh,
Speaker 1: I have to say, Jonah has a pretty nice taste
Speaker 1: and earbuds and all. I hope he's not taking me
Speaker 1: for a fast one. That is really sweet if you
Speaker 1: chuck that. Brandy Brooks says, random amounts of money stuffed
Speaker 1: in mattresses. Sure, that's a movie trope. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things you hear about. Um, I've never seen it either.
Speaker 1: Murders and detectives is what Tara Lee Shaw says. How
Speaker 1: do you know, Tara? You may have seen a murderer
Speaker 1: at the coffee shop this morning or a detective. Don't
Speaker 1: know that they're undercover, right, you don't know? Man? My
Speaker 1: laptop is that fan is cranking? I'm sorry. If people
Speaker 1: are hearing that, it's okay, I can't hear it. You
Speaker 1: hear that, you don't hear that? Ship, I don't quite hear. No,
Speaker 1: I'm running a lot there, it is there, it is?
Speaker 1: Was it running hot here? I'll put it right up.
Speaker 1: Was that better a little bit? Yeah? Yeah? Uh. Cody
Speaker 1: reads as a booby trap booty trap. Yeah, I've never
Speaker 1: seen a booby trap. I've tried to build the like
Speaker 1: like a trip wire of some sort. Yeah. I built
Speaker 1: a booby traps when I was a kid, like dug
Speaker 1: a hole in the woods and put sticks up for it.
Speaker 1: That's terrible and and like barbed wire and broken glass
Speaker 1: and stuff got twisted child, No, no one ever. I
Speaker 1: mean these were woods that only we played in, so
Speaker 1: I think I was probably just trying to I probably
Speaker 1: would have fallen in it myself as the only eventual outcome.
Speaker 1: I think that is something that that kids can get
Speaker 1: fascinated with. I was always fascinated with that game mouse Trap,
Speaker 1: you know, with like those Rube Goldberg kind of like
Speaker 1: one thing. It's so fun, and I think that's sort
Speaker 1: of the appeal of booby traps, especially the really elaborate
Speaker 1: ones where you trip a wire and then it undoes
Speaker 1: something and then a big giant log swings down from
Speaker 1: the trees and knock your head off. Yeah, rainbow style.
Speaker 1: I gotta say that, Nold, and you've probably encountered this
Speaker 1: as a father to games these days are not put
Speaker 1: together like they used to be in terms of the
Speaker 1: build quality. Yeah. Yeah, Like we got the Game of
Speaker 1: Life and like the Spinner is terrible, and I was like,
Speaker 1: the old Spinner was so great. So what you do
Speaker 1: is you can go on eBay and by a vintage
Speaker 1: spinner for like five bucks if you want to piece
Speaker 1: out a few of these things that are vital to
Speaker 1: your gameplay. Because they just sucked now and they don't
Speaker 1: even spend. At the same time, though, Chuck, it's it's
Speaker 1: a wide world of very elaborate and expensive nerd games
Speaker 1: which are quite well built. Well, I believe that. So
Speaker 1: if you're talking about mass marketed like legacy games that
Speaker 1: are probably in there, like fift iteration from like Mattel,
Speaker 1: those are probably made of Spider's webs cheaper and cheaper
Speaker 1: and cheaper. Let me see here, Dale Lucas, this is
Speaker 1: a good one. It's something he's never seen. Families having
Speaker 1: full multi items sit down breakfast complete with pictures of
Speaker 1: both O J and milk on normal school and work days.
Speaker 1: Somewhere someone might do that, But in the world, I
Speaker 1: know that's weekend stuff during the week everyone I've ever known.
Speaker 1: What was that? It was actually the sound of Paul
Speaker 1: Rubens Um I was looking at his cameo. Was you
Speaker 1: know you know I was about to bring this up
Speaker 1: in a second. Do you know the website cameo? Chuck? Well, Um,
Speaker 1: it's really funny because it's always like really sad when
Speaker 1: you see some sort of like has been actor and
Speaker 1: it's only like twenty bucks to get them to do
Speaker 1: a cameo, Uh, Paul Rubens is three. Baby. That's that's
Speaker 1: some top top notch there, because I was gonna bring
Speaker 1: it up. It's about movies. We're talking about movie stuff,
Speaker 1: and I was that that was gonna be my little contribution.
Speaker 1: And my computer interface does this thing where it sends
Speaker 1: every audio played on my computer through the zoom. It's
Speaker 1: been awkward a couple of times for me where I've
Speaker 1: like accidentally hit a note on one of my many
Speaker 1: synthesizers and all of a sudden, everyone on the zoom.
Speaker 1: Here's like a massive like synthesizer note. I've been having
Speaker 1: to like really be very very careful. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: you scooped me on my Paul Reuben's bit. I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to interrupt, Please continue, Chuck. So during my reading
Speaker 1: of Dale's comment, I hear, hell because you're looking at
Speaker 1: fucking camera. No, it was it was all for research purposes. Boy,
Speaker 1: I don't even know where it was. Apology Stale. You
Speaker 1: can send your complaint letters to knowl on that one.
Speaker 1: I'll even give you my personal email addresses an old
Speaker 1: Brown at hotmail dot com. Uh, you know what the
Speaker 1: guy's unfriendly fire used to do any anytime they would
Speaker 1: r I P friendly fire. Um. Anytime they would have
Speaker 1: seemingly a complaint coming forward, they would say, just send
Speaker 1: your email to go fund yourself at Max Funkenstein dot com.
Speaker 1: Because it was a Max bunchow. We always uh something
Speaker 1: I want you to know list our complaint department as
Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickland at heart radio dot com. NICs, do you
Speaker 1: give us real email? You should? We do? Actually, does
Speaker 1: he get him? I don't know that he's ever gotten anything.
Speaker 1: He's never mentioned it. He's never mentioned it. I I
Speaker 1: shave II sha Abraham says nar Walls. Yeah, but has
Speaker 1: anyone ever really seen a normal I mean that's sort
Speaker 1: of like that's the most rare of sea creature sightings.
Speaker 1: I would say, all right, I gotta dig into this
Speaker 1: one because our old pal Caroline guest and says homecoming events. Oh,
Speaker 1: come on, sure in high schools. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: went to a high school, they had a big football situation. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: I will say this Caroline is from the depths of
Speaker 1: Canada or the heights of Canada. I think she's way
Speaker 1: up there in the upper Northeast if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: So it might not be a thing she said, she
Speaker 1: knows about prom we had that. But homecoming is in
Speaker 1: the fall, right, and it's mostly about a football game.
Speaker 1: It's about a football game. Homecoming literally means the first
Speaker 1: home game, right of the season. Yeah, I mean, she's
Speaker 1: got it dead. It's it's a it's not the first
Speaker 1: home game, but it's when the alumni are encouraged to
Speaker 1: come home, and it's in the game and they have
Speaker 1: a little ceremony and then they have a dance and
Speaker 1: all that ship I see. So, but it is very
Speaker 1: specifically football centric, yeah, which is why she's Canadian. They
Speaker 1: don't care about football there, and don't you just do
Speaker 1: like curling? Right? I know there's a Canadian football think everybody,
Speaker 1: but really, Austin Handler said tree House. Friends of ours
Speaker 1: have been in Saint Tree House. Oh no, he's just
Speaker 1: saying he's going to send a picture in all right.
Speaker 1: Romeo Fuqua says, A panic room. That's that's the first
Speaker 1: time I've heard that name. It's a good one. Welcome room. Now.
Speaker 1: Panic rooms are pretty much reserved for the very rich
Speaker 1: and powerful, right, I mean you would only see that
Speaker 1: bespoke mansion, right, Yeah, exactly. Let me see Joshua Fish
Speaker 1: says that floor piano and big Okay, sure is that
Speaker 1: a real thing? That was probably real? Right? It probably was.
Speaker 1: Let's see, I mean like what, you know, what do
Speaker 1: they still surely they still make something. It seems like
Speaker 1: that's absolutely the kind of gadget that you would see
Speaker 1: pop up on an ad in Google. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? If you're like, let's say, floor piano for sale.
Speaker 1: Oh sweet, no, here you go, quick and play gigantic
Speaker 1: keyboard play Matt twenty four keys Piano Matt eight selectable
Speaker 1: musical styles. Uh, it is absolutely that thing, and it
Speaker 1: is only thirty fifty on Amazon today. Yep, it's gotta
Speaker 1: be garbage. It does look like garbage. And to be fair,
Speaker 1: it is a very small child on it and he
Speaker 1: dwarfs the thing. So it's definitely not the same size
Speaker 1: as the big piano that was in the movie Small
Speaker 1: Yet Oh wait a minute, no, no no, no, young on
Speaker 1: the okay, because if we'll recall, I believe it was
Speaker 1: f A. O. Schwartz that was featured in that scene,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. So if you look up floor piano, f
Speaker 1: A O. Shorts Piano Dance, Matt comes up and it's
Speaker 1: fifty dollars on clearance and it's from Belk. It's from
Speaker 1: belk dot com. What I don't understand, well, when I
Speaker 1: think of great pianos, I think of Yamaha, I think
Speaker 1: of the Fender Rhodes, and I think of Belk H cents. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe Steinway, Steinway and Belk and Belk makes a makes
Speaker 1: a mean piano, nol. I know you play the synth
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but can you can you get
Speaker 1: down on the piano a little bit? I can? I mean,
Speaker 1: I can you know fiddle my way around? And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you who's excellent as Alex Williams. He's He's I
Speaker 1: think that told you. He and I and Matt Frederick
Speaker 1: playing a little band together. We played out once a
Speaker 1: week and um, Alex is just a real renaissance man.
Speaker 1: He can play guitar, just shred it up and play keys.
Speaker 1: I tend to play bass and kind of you know,
Speaker 1: SYNTHI type stuff, and we switched off between bass and
Speaker 1: guitars sometimes. But he is just epically talented and really
Speaker 1: great at different chord shapes and um theory and stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm much more of like a plunk in my way
Speaker 1: around it. And you know, finding my way to something
Speaker 1: that sounds good. So for listeners, Alex as a former guest,
Speaker 1: one of our colleagues that we work with, and he
Speaker 1: uh did the movie Edward on the show, and he
Speaker 1: also has a great podcast which I believe has a
Speaker 1: season two coming up epemeral right and just launched season two.
Speaker 1: Actually it's great. It is a truly truly great show
Speaker 1: and and people should listen and completely agree. Yeah that
Speaker 1: that is not just doing Alexa solid it's it's a
Speaker 1: great show. No, He's a creative dude. It's been really
Speaker 1: fun just kind of doing outside of work stuff with him,
Speaker 1: Um and Matt. It's been like I've got the whole
Speaker 1: everything wired to record, So every time we jam, we
Speaker 1: just plug the guitars in the bass directly into my
Speaker 1: interface and I'll use headphones and the mic. The drums
Speaker 1: are fully miked up so we have full mixable kind
Speaker 1: of no bleed on everything, and we've been just kind
Speaker 1: of coming up with someone the fly. We've got a
Speaker 1: good handful of tunes that we are working on. Are
Speaker 1: does anyone sing? Are you guys? Just instrumental? Instrumental to start,
Speaker 1: But it's sort of like the way a lot of
Speaker 1: bands work, even like the Smiths did it this way
Speaker 1: where they would kind of create the instrumental parts and
Speaker 1: then add the vocals after the fact. They'd give him
Speaker 1: to old Morrissey who had been like brooding in his
Speaker 1: poetry Dungeon. Are you all gonna do this? I think so?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna sing? I'm I'm gonna saying. Alex is
Speaker 1: also a great singer. Matt's also a great singer. We're
Speaker 1: gonna try on for some three part harmonies, and when
Speaker 1: things open up, we'll probably have some material and try
Speaker 1: to play live. Alex and I also have a little
Speaker 1: electronic project that's just the two of us that's more
Speaker 1: dance oriented. But um really doing a lot of I do.
Speaker 1: I would love to like jam in person with you sometime.
Speaker 1: I'm not a good jammer, uh. I'm a rhythm guitar player.
Speaker 1: I mean I can follow along with some chords and stuff,
Speaker 1: but I've never been a good jammer. Let's let's get
Speaker 1: you over here in the studio one of these days
Speaker 1: and I'll play some drums and you play some guitar
Speaker 1: and we can just record a song or something. I
Speaker 1: do have to say no that that we're playing tonight
Speaker 1: me and my band for the first time. No way, yep.
Speaker 1: Where at the Drummer's house, Jim's house. It's awesome. It's
Speaker 1: in Kirkwood, near us UM and we're all super super,
Speaker 1: super excited and vaccinated. I am so happy for you.
Speaker 1: Isn't it nice to feel just a little tinge of
Speaker 1: normalcy kind of creeping back in. Obviously we all have
Speaker 1: to still be vigilant, careful and thoughtful to others and
Speaker 1: all that, but it is nice, like taking that trip
Speaker 1: was a real kind of breaking on through to the
Speaker 1: other side thing for me. You know, that's great. All right,
Speaker 1: let's finish up with a couple of more here, David
Speaker 1: Mills says, a cat suddenly jumps out of nowhere, and
Speaker 1: Meal was loudly yeah. That's probably something you don't see
Speaker 1: a lot in real life. It's a movie, the fake
Speaker 1: out jump Scare. I'm gonna go with Romeo Fuqua again.
Speaker 1: He's a new star of the show, because this is
Speaker 1: a funny one. People just carrying sheets of glass. That's good.
Speaker 1: Some of these border on tropes, which is sort of
Speaker 1: the point as well. I think. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: one that was satirized in Wayne's World two where it
Speaker 1: was like a whole series of He's like running to
Speaker 1: to stop the wedding and then there's like people carrying
Speaker 1: a giant slabbing bass and chickens and stuff. Was there
Speaker 1: a baby stroller? I think my baby? Yeah. Usually Eric,
Speaker 1: I don't know to product your na America and go
Speaker 1: with Jarda says this is very funny climaxing simultaneously. Never
Speaker 1: happens in the real world. Never happens in the real world.
Speaker 1: You're just not doing a good enough job. Come on, guys,
Speaker 1: try harder. I mean that that. That's just there are
Speaker 1: so many problems with movie sex as far as setting
Speaker 1: people up to believe that any of that ship is
Speaker 1: how it really goes down. It's it's not good. That's yeah. Nothing.
Speaker 1: My My favorite though, is how the one the actor
Speaker 1: that is clearly under contract to not show her breasts
Speaker 1: is immediately covered up with a sheet. Cous just bad
Speaker 1: buddy double cut in mm hmm, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Don't do anything you don't want to do people, No,
Speaker 1: definitely not. Uh. Blair Christensen also says families having breakfast together, uh,
Speaker 1: and here we go. No, we'll finish with this one,
Speaker 1: Martin Kidd says, bed sheets that cover lady boobies, but
Speaker 1: show man boobies, right, see at that's it. It's the
Speaker 1: the l shaped sheet is what Joel Kron calls it.
Speaker 1: And uh, this is good stuff, Steve, thanks for putting
Speaker 1: that up there. And Nole, we're gonna do a little
Speaker 1: stream this because we got a lot of stuff. So maybe,
Speaker 1: um instead of maybe we can go back and forth
Speaker 1: since we each have a bunch, and I'll start out
Speaker 1: with two quick ones. Uh. We Emily and I both
Speaker 1: watched One Division finally, and I we loved it, like
Speaker 1: really really loved it too. I thought it was one
Speaker 1: of the most original takes on a story like this
Speaker 1: that I had ever seen. I thought it was brilliant.
Speaker 1: I loved every minute of it. And you know, Emily's
Speaker 1: deal with Marvel is she sort of in and out
Speaker 1: likes it when she takes the time to watch it,
Speaker 1: but it's not like a Marvel nerd. But she really
Speaker 1: got into Scarlet Witch and was reading about the backstory.
Speaker 1: And then we watched Age of Ultron after we finished
Speaker 1: it all, because of course that's where Vision created and
Speaker 1: Scarlet Witches sort of becomes Scarlett Witch and uh, she
Speaker 1: really loved that. So h we've been on that kick.
Speaker 1: And then I watched Falcon, The Falcon and the Winter
Speaker 1: Soldier by myself, and I love that too. You did
Speaker 1: like it. I fucking loved it, dude. God, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of people have been a little hot and cold
Speaker 1: about it that I've I've only seen the first episode,
Speaker 1: but um, I've heard some mixed things, but I'm glad
Speaker 1: to hear that. I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna jump
Speaker 1: back in. It's great. I love it. I mean, I
Speaker 1: love the Bucky Barnes character in Sebastian stand and Anthony
Speaker 1: mckintee's a Mackie is awesome. I just thought it was
Speaker 1: really really great. And it's this one is they're both
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, but one divisions mainly on a stage and
Speaker 1: like out in the suburbs. But you'll crack up watching
Speaker 1: Falcon and Winter Soldier because it's like, hey, Croc Street
Speaker 1: Tunnel in the Pullman Yards in Oakland Cemetery and Sweetwater
Speaker 1: Creek State Park and it's just sort of all over
Speaker 1: the places we go, which is always fun. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what's really fun. I've was I rewatched recently the
Speaker 1: Watchman series. Think I probably mentioned this, but so much
Speaker 1: of it takes place right in downtown Decatur in the Square,
Speaker 1: like literally the climax of the hole so weird posts,
Speaker 1: you know, and like they make them all glowy and
Speaker 1: like Tesla coil ish. But I always just I've been
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time in downtown Dedicator lately and
Speaker 1: uh kicking it in the Square and it's just every
Speaker 1: time I'm like, yes, it's such cool be right in
Speaker 1: the middle of it. Uh. So, do you have a
Speaker 1: couple that you've been watching you want to go over? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Just I mean I've been, Um, I've been diving back
Speaker 1: into Boardwalk Empire, uh, you know with Steve Bushimi and
Speaker 1: uh so good. It's a show that I watched. I
Speaker 1: realized I didn't even get into the second season. Um,
Speaker 1: or if I did, I watched it kind of spottily
Speaker 1: because I think I watched it when it was on originally. Um.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you just fall off of things because there's
Speaker 1: other things that kind of grab your attention. It's not
Speaker 1: because the thing was bad, but I realize now that
Speaker 1: I am all in Um, I just think it's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun it's everything that I like about, say,
Speaker 1: like the Sopranos um but just obviously a very well
Speaker 1: done period piece about an era that is, you know,
Speaker 1: you think about in terms of kind of cliche ideas
Speaker 1: of what flappers and you know, the swinging or the
Speaker 1: roar in twenties and all that stuff we're but this
Speaker 1: is they do such a good job in every little
Speaker 1: scene is just everything in its right place. And uh,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting character study too, because you've got a
Speaker 1: real anti hero who just kind of gets worse and
Speaker 1: worse and more willing to do whatever it takes to
Speaker 1: stay on top, and yet you're still somehow rooting for him.
Speaker 1: And it's just interesting the way the Sopranos really work.
Speaker 1: Kind of one of the first shows that created that.
Speaker 1: Like apparently, uh, one of the early episodes when you
Speaker 1: see Tony Soprano actually kill a man in cold Blood,
Speaker 1: the network was like, I don't know, if we can
Speaker 1: show that people aren't gonna go for that, they'll be
Speaker 1: able to they won't be able to, you know, stay
Speaker 1: on board, And David Chase was like, no, we gotta
Speaker 1: do it. It's crucial to the trajectory of the show.
Speaker 1: And now the anti hero is like King, you know,
Speaker 1: so um very much following in those footsteps. But I've
Speaker 1: really enjoyed that. That's one I never saw that I
Speaker 1: could see me getting into on my own at some point.
Speaker 1: I don't think it'd be up Emily Zalie, but I might.
Speaker 1: I might check that out one day. That's great, great cast,
Speaker 1: lots of people drifting, and Michael Shannon's in and he
Speaker 1: plays a prohibition officer who's very you know, um, emotionally
Speaker 1: and spiritually conflicted, let's just say, and interesting things happened
Speaker 1: with him, and just so many great little poppins. I
Speaker 1: think I think you really liked the show a lot, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I will check it out. Shrill season three is out
Speaker 1: for some reason. I think this is the final season,
Speaker 1: but I might be wrong. I think it is. I
Speaker 1: think I saw it. UH actually promoted that way. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Shrill is out. We watched the first four episodes,
Speaker 1: um so far, and it's great. Um. Adie Bryant, you know,
Speaker 1: have gone on and on about the show. I love
Speaker 1: it so much. I am very disappointed because I reached
Speaker 1: out to Adie Bryant's people and she declined to come
Speaker 1: on movie Crush but that's okay, cousin, ad Um, I
Speaker 1: forget I forgive you, but we have had a shrill
Speaker 1: cast member, John Cameron Mitchell on Movie Crush well exactly,
Speaker 1: I mean no, maybe you can tell jokimeron Mitchell to
Speaker 1: total lady Bryant to come on fucking movie Crush for gus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did we talk about the fact that John booked the
Speaker 1: role of U Joe Exotic in the Tiger King TV adaptation.
Speaker 1: He's playing him, He's playing him. Oh my god, how
Speaker 1: perfect is that? And uh, Kate McKennon is playing Carol
Speaker 1: Baskin opposite him. Wow. See, I didn't watch Tiger King.
Speaker 1: We watched one episode and I was like, not for me,
Speaker 1: not for you, remember you saying that, But I would
Speaker 1: like to see j c Um in that role. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh. You know. Adie Bryant's also I mean
Speaker 1: currently on Saturday Night Live, and I know that that
Speaker 1: show like takes all your time all week long, So
Speaker 1: maybe I'll reach back out after the season of SNL
Speaker 1: is over. She was also one of the ones that
Speaker 1: expressed a little bit of squeamishness with old Elon Musk
Speaker 1: hosting Um and another I didn't. I just I didn't
Speaker 1: watch anither and I kind of can't stand the guy.
Speaker 1: He just really roused me the wrong way. I know
Speaker 1: he's doing cool things, but he's just such a quintessential
Speaker 1: douchey tech bro that I just kind of steer clear well.
Speaker 1: And Snel never learns Like whenever you have these pop
Speaker 1: culture people that aren't actors or comedians, it just sucks.
Speaker 1: It's never good. Maybe occasionally an athlete, but that's the exception.
Speaker 1: Matt Frederick said it was good. Matt. Matt said he
Speaker 1: thought it was funny. He thought Ellen did a did
Speaker 1: an interesting job and that it was pretty well suited
Speaker 1: for him. But I just I don't. I also just don't.
Speaker 1: I kind of watch SNL like YouTube on YouTube the
Speaker 1: day after, just like the good sketches, but I've never
Speaker 1: sat the night of and watched I think you had
Speaker 1: a ritual for a while where you were doing that,
Speaker 1: didn't you, Chuck. I mean, I watched it forever since
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and then sort of fell out
Speaker 1: the past couple of years a little bit. But now
Speaker 1: I'll go back every now and then. And the cast,
Speaker 1: I mean, the cast is good right now, but maybe
Speaker 1: I'm getting older and that's what it is. And they
Speaker 1: all seem like they're like nineteen years old. Not that
Speaker 1: I have any problem with nineteen year olds, but I'm
Speaker 1: not identifying as much, Chuck. I think it is a
Speaker 1: certainty that you are getting older and it's just a
Speaker 1: part of part of life. But Bow and Yang, who
Speaker 1: does a podcast on our network less culture Easts, he's
Speaker 1: on it and he's fabulous. Yeah, Oh, I didn't know
Speaker 1: he was on our network, Is he yes? Sirry sure is?
Speaker 1: I need to get him on there too, big fan. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing No always started just last
Speaker 1: night is uh, I'll be Gone in the Dark. The
Speaker 1: great HBO docuseries concerning Michelle McNamara, uh, the patent Oswald's
Speaker 1: wife who passed away while she was working on this
Speaker 1: book about the Golden State Killer. And UH really really
Speaker 1: loved the first episode can't wait defenish it because it's
Speaker 1: a part documentary about the Golden State Killer, so it's
Speaker 1: part true crime and then part about Michelle McNamara in
Speaker 1: her obsession with this and and the way she approached
Speaker 1: these um true crime in a different way that was
Speaker 1: very much more victim focused than UM more literary and
Speaker 1: a little less glacious, and Patton Oswald is in and
Speaker 1: of course he's interviewed in Things and that whole story.
Speaker 1: It's just tragic and also heartwarming because he found love
Speaker 1: again and his daughter loves his his new wife. Um,
Speaker 1: and I really got mad, you know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you remember when he got remarried nol uh. He
Speaker 1: got a lot of heat from people online because they
Speaker 1: were saying, like, it's he got married too soon, remarried
Speaker 1: after his wife had died, And that just really fucking
Speaker 1: pissed me off, and still does when I think about it.
Speaker 1: For internet ship heads to weigh in on someone's personal
Speaker 1: life and finding love again, and it's just it's the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst of the Internet. And so I
Speaker 1: just think it's great that he And I think, what's
Speaker 1: your name? Oh Salinger? Meredith Salinger, I think that's true.
Speaker 1: I can't quite I haven't seen this doc yet. But
Speaker 1: she's an actor, Oh no, no, yeah, Meredith Salinger. She was.
Speaker 1: She was a big time your like in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties. She was in some really big films. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Journey of That again. That was her big breakthrough dream
Speaker 1: A little dream almost had her old movie Crush at
Speaker 1: sketch Fest, but we couldn't make that happen. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I'll be gone on the dark is great. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you I'm not. I don't. I don't watch a ton
Speaker 1: of documentaries anymore. I don't know why I think I've
Speaker 1: mentioned like i've I've I've made a documentary many years
Speaker 1: ago and uh really just grind it out my heart
Speaker 1: and soul into that documentary about the Georgia Guide Stones,
Speaker 1: this weird monument in rural Georgia. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: like conspiracy theories attached to it anyway, and we talked
Speaker 1: about it on stuff they don't want you to know.
Speaker 1: But um one that I'm this one I'm interested in
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned because we've certainly covered the Golden
Speaker 1: State killer stuff on stuff that I want you to
Speaker 1: know a lot. But there's a new one that just
Speaker 1: dropped called The Crime of the Century. It's Alex Gibney
Speaker 1: who did the Going Clear documentary which I loved about
Speaker 1: the Church of Scientology, and the Crime of the Century
Speaker 1: is about perdue pharma and the you know, opioid epidemic.
Speaker 1: Uh and a stat that I'm reading in this Hollywood
Speaker 1: Reporter piece is that the uh opioid epidemic killed nearly
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand people between ninety nineteen, and it was
Speaker 1: something that many of my friends were involved in. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was a time where OxyContin was just overflowing. We
Speaker 1: called it hillbilly heroin, you know. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: just like it's so so much easier and cheaper to
Speaker 1: get than actual heroin. UH. And it was a real problem.
Speaker 1: And they tried to pretend Perdue Pharma like it wasn't addictive,
Speaker 1: and they had all these studies that were basically juiced
Speaker 1: to make it look like it wasn't addictive and that
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, it's totally safe, and it absolutely wasn't.
Speaker 1: And it created this huge problem, especially in rural parts
Speaker 1: of the country, where people just got super hooked on
Speaker 1: this stuff and we're getting it without a prescription because
Speaker 1: people with prescription, we're just selling them. And it was
Speaker 1: just absolute chaos. But this documentary apparently does a really
Speaker 1: thorough job of exploring, you know, what they did, what
Speaker 1: they knew when they knew it. They ultimately it's one
Speaker 1: of another one of those things where these big companies
Speaker 1: and CEOs they don't go to jail. They just pay
Speaker 1: a lot of money, which is a lot of money
Speaker 1: to us, but not a lot of money to a
Speaker 1: big multinational pharmaceutical companies. So at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's just a slap on the wrist and people are
Speaker 1: literally lost their lives. So brutal, brutal. I'll check that out,
Speaker 1: like Alex Gibney's work. You got anything else, Uh No,
