I would say the 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: same thing. You get out the car radio antenna again, 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't you? Yeah, all right, what's your set up here? Well? Okay, 15 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: you ready for my set up? This is all business, 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: isn't it. Let's do it all right, Chuck? You're heard 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: of J. B. McKinnon. No, have you ever heard of 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: the hundred Mile Food Movement? Yes? Okay, so J. B. 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: McKinnon and uh I think his girlfriend were the people 20 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: who originated this and wrote that book. Plenty that's the 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: idea that you try to not eat any food that's 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: more than a hundred miles from your home, right, right, 23 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: And that kind of lends itself to seasonal leading. Yeah, um, 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: he said, apparently good luck finding a beer that was 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: produced within a hundred miles like grown produced all within 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: a hundred miles. Right. But yea, it's the local basis 27 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: of the local war movement, or at least the mouthpiece 28 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: of it. Right. So he's become kind of this boy 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: wonder and environmentalism as a whole since that book was released, 30 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: people look to him for advice and he puts on 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: his glasses and clears his throat and gives it to 32 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: him sometimes. Um. But McKinnon uh had this pretty awesome 33 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: article um that was republished in the October September October 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: e Reader Uh and it was about basically not getting 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: paralyzed by having so many problems presented to us like 36 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: we do, right, And he cites the sociologists paralyzed into 37 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: not taking action there's nothing I can do, or into 38 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: taking too much action, which is equally problematic. Right. Um. 39 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: There's a uh famous sociologist named Stanley Cohen, and Cohen 40 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: that j b. McKinnon sites this isn't me, I'm just 41 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: a fan. Um. McKinnon cites Cohen's book States of Denial, 42 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: and basically in it, Cohen's like he talks about how 43 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: we delude ourselves into inaction right largely because it's just 44 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: too much or you know, we're trying to do too much. 45 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: And he says, you know, there's only so much we 46 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: can do, and we can't waste our energy on every 47 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: single problem that we face. So what mckinnons McKinnon suggests 48 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: is um called vertical agitation, where you pick one topic 49 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: and you give it everything you've got. If you want 50 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: to save the dolphins, you save those dolphins, you know, 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: if you want to um, make sure every single person 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: in America follows through on this compact fluorescent bulb thing. 53 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: That's your thing to make that your movement. If you 54 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: are interested in reducing the waste stream, that's your thing. 55 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: And this is your podcast. Thanks straight, this is your podcast. 56 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: I think I like the outtake better. Nope, Okay, well, 57 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: let's plug ahead, chuckers Chuck. Specifically, we're gonna start out 58 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: with the problem that well, let's talk about this one 59 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: of the biggest sectors of municipal waste. That waste stream huge. Right. 60 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: One of the big way, one of the big areas 61 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: of thought today is figuring out how to reduce to 62 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: the wast stream. And there's all sorts of ideas. There's 63 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: a carpet company and I can't remember what it's called, 64 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: but it's headed by this great idealist visionary um and 65 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: they least carpeting. You never own the carpeting in your house. 66 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: You lease it, which is you're paying all the same 67 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: price or whatever. But you when you have it taken out, 68 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: you can't take it to dump because it's not yours. 69 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: That company takes it back and they recycle it it is, 70 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: so it's being diverted from the waste stream, right. So uh. 71 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: One of the biggest um, one of the biggest sectors 72 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: of municipal waste that accounts for I think are accounting 73 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: for of all the waste generated and taken to the 74 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: dumps in the United States is called construction and demolition waste. 75 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: One big way of converting or diverting i'm sorry, waste 76 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: from this waste stream away from the municipal dump and 77 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: back into reuse is demolition over recyc remodeling, I'm sorry 78 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: over full demolition, right, if you're renovating your your old home, yes, 79 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: tearing it down starting over. The problem is is with 80 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: with being green. I'm making air quotes. It's gonna I'm 81 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: gonna do that every time I say that word. Okay, okay, 82 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: it's been so co opted. But being green is a 83 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: matter of details and context, right, right, So like recycling, 84 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: recycling is good, right, just just putting your bottles and 85 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: cans out by the curb. That's just a good idea, 86 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: isn't it not in every case? Buddy? Like what, Well, 87 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't you be better off simply reusing a bottle rather 88 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: than throwing it out and and having it picked up 89 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: by what is actually a garbage truck, is just taking 90 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: it to a different place. Well yeah, I mean that's 91 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: and we mentioned this before. I can't remember which one 92 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: it was in, but we need to point out again 93 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: that's why the reduce, reuse, recycle, it's in an order 94 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: for a reason. Reduces the best thing you can do. 95 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: Don't even use that bottle, use your little aluminum bottle 96 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: to get your water. Fill it up with your little 97 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: filtered water at home, and just use that reuse if 98 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: you happen to have a bottle, and we do a 99 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: lot of this. Just keep filling that thing up, and 100 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,679 Speaker 1: then at PCB and then at the very last resort 101 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: you can recycle. And if you're not doing any of 102 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: those three things, then you're just a jerk pretty much. 103 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: That's what I say. Yeah, recycle, you're right there. I mean, 104 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: you gotta have those big trucks that smashing anything together 105 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: and deliver it to places and plants, and there's a 106 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of greenhouse gases admitted when you 107 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: do that, there's a lot of waste, there's a lot 108 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: of fuel spent. Yes, and the recycling process the same. 109 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: But recycling generally is good. The same thing can be 110 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: said for renovating. Renovating is generally better than demolition, but 111 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: it is on a case by case basis, and it 112 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: has to do with how you do it. There's actually, like, 113 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, a green our way to to renovate. But 114 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: if you're looking at a house, an old house, and 115 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: you say, I'm either gonna tear this down or I'm 116 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: gonna totally remodel it, but I want to go green, 117 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: which when should I do? The rule of thumb generally 118 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: is to renovate simply because it produces less less waste, yes, right, 119 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: and plus all the materials it takes to build something 120 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: from the ground up is obviously going to be more. 121 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: Even if you took the house down to the foundation 122 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: and the studs, right, You're still gonna be saving on 123 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: the foundation and the studs as far as buying new 124 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: and manufacturing new materials. You've got a stat here, josh, 125 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: um about a hundred and thirty six million tons of 126 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: waste every year, which is about of what's filling up 127 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: our city dumps is construction, demolition waste. Now I have 128 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: something surprising for you. I have. I've got a little 129 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: surprised chuck. Oh good, that was two thousand seven, man, 130 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: what's it now in two ten if a hundred and 131 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: forty two million tons were generated, which they were, And 132 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: this is all construction and demolition, which includes highway construction 133 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: and repair, which accounts for a lot of it. Um, 134 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: guess how much is estimated to be recycled this year? 135 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: To be recycled, I don't know. Out of a hundred 136 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: forty two million tons recycled, that's fantastic. So a lot 137 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: of this is it's being diverted away from it. Right, 138 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: So there's success. Right. People are fine, are learning how 139 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: to do this, and that's a big part of it 140 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: is is not just um, not demolishing your house, but 141 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: even if you do demolish it, recycling the parts that 142 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: are demolished, reusing parts. Like you mentioned the Seattle based 143 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: store restore, they got one this here in Atlanta to 144 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: do they Yeah, it's great. Man. Is there a restore 145 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: store like officially restore? I think it's called a restore. 146 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: And Emily and I are renovating a house very slowly. Yeah. 147 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, are you still doing that? When 148 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: I first met you, You're like, yeah, I renovate every weekend. Yeah, 149 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: that's not every weekend now, it's it's very slowly. What's 150 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: the last thing you did? Uh? We did some yards stuff, 151 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: yard stuff like fences and stairs and things like that. 152 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: You're still squatting, huh. It's it's slow. Yeah, we're squatting. Um. 153 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: So far, so good. Um. But restore is awesome because 154 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: instead of going too like your big box retailer to 155 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: buy your new door, go to one of these restore 156 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: places and they'll have like sixty doors that have been 157 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: taken from houses and in great shape and maybe even 158 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: cooler and more you know, a period looking than than 159 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: the ones you can get at the big box place. 160 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: So and they have not only that, I mean it's 161 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: not just doors. They have like windows and window frames, 162 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: they have would they have all kinds of things that 163 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: have been removed from houses for re sale. So that's 164 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: a very good way to go if you're restoring your home. 165 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: It is and restore in any outfit like this. They 166 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: tend to be nonprofit, is right. They get their their 167 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: supplies by people bringing them in and selling them to them, 168 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: and then they mark it up YadA YadA, or else 169 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: they donate it and sell it. Right, it's donated to restore, 170 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: or at least in Seattle, Restore will actually undertake demolition projects, 171 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: so they'll charge you to demolish your house, but they 172 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: do it by hand. They keep the nails, like down 173 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: to the nails. Everything is recycled. Everything that could possibly 174 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: be recycled is recycled. One of the cool things is 175 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: um since they're nonprofit and since they're taking the stuff 176 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: that can be salvage to resell in their store, you 177 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: get a tax deduction. So it may be slightly more 178 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: than like what the guy with the bulldozers going to 179 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: charge you, But ultimately, with the tax deduction, it may 180 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: it may come out to be less and you get 181 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: that good conscience thing, good karma come in your way. Yeah, 182 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: well you mentioned the projects they do by hand. Um 183 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: the e p A rated four of these um from 184 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: restore and they rated between seventy and nine reuse ratings. 185 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: That's amazing reuse and one of the other big benefits 186 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: of um demolishing your house by hand. I mean it's slow, 187 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: it's way way slower, but um, you know, the trees 188 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: in your yard have roots, and a bulldozer with tracks, 189 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: even a bobcat can conceivably do it. Depending on how 190 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: shallow the roots system is. Running over it can kill 191 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: your tree. It's not good. It's a lot worse than 192 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: running over your foot. And you've all I've heard of 193 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: nightmares from friends of mine where you know, accidents happen 194 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: when you get those big machines in there, like oops, 195 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: I accidentally dug into your sewer line or oops, I 196 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: accidentally cracked your gas line. I mean, these things are 197 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: supposed to be well marked, but you got a hundred 198 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: in your house. You never know what's going on underground 199 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: and so and then once that happens, it's not only 200 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: more money, but it's not good for what's going on 201 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: in your environment local environment. If you are demolishing your 202 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: house and you are not paying to you resorted do it. 203 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: Let's say you're doing it yourself. You've got some time, 204 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: just feel like beating the tar out of some drywall 205 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: with a sledge hammer. Um, there is there. You can 206 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: put your stuff on Craigslist. Um. In addition to not 207 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: having to pay to dump it, people will actually at 208 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: the very least come take it away for free for 209 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: their own use. Yeah. Right, So you can say, hey, 210 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: I've got a really great door, here's a picture of it. 211 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: Who wants it? You can get away with getting rid 212 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: of anything on Craigslist and this is the free section. 213 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: Like troll it any day and you will see I've 214 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: got a pile of bricks. I got a pile of this, 215 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: And people will come and get it because they need 216 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: that pile of bricks, because bricks ain't cheap. That's right. 217 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: And you might even be able to charge them if 218 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: you're a savvy demolisher for taking away your stuff. Yes, 219 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: there's also I wish I knew the name of the company, 220 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: but I saw one of the home rena shows a 221 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: few years ago. Right, what home reno show is that? Really? 222 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: Are you going like an abbreviated name basis home renovation 223 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: television program? Am Uh, This company will come out and 224 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: take all of your demolition let's say you are demolishing it. 225 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: They will take your demolition waste on site, put it 226 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: into this machine that pulverizes it into little bits of 227 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: nothingness and separates the nails at the same time, like 228 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: you see it shaking, the nails are coming out the side. 229 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: And then what they do then is they've got like 230 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: half of your house and little pebble sized chunks, and 231 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: then they'll lay it under your driveway and then pave 232 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: on top of that. So right there, it's all on site, 233 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: and it's probably not the cheapest thing in the world, 234 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: but you get to have a clear conscience that you 235 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: didn't go to the city dump and put your house 236 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: on it. Essentially, this is what you're doing. We should 237 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: probably also say that if you are going to save 238 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: a few bucks, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of ten 239 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: grand and demolish your house yourself, Um, you should watch 240 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: some videos on it, talk to some people who have 241 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: done it before. It can actually be kind of dangerous. 242 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: You're deconstructing your house and it could fall on top 243 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: of you. Demolition is very dangerous. You need to know 244 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: what you're doing. You need to have the right gear. 245 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: Don't be a dummy. Don't be a dummy. You want 246 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about green building. Yeah, 247 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: So let's say you've gutted your house and you're in 248 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: the market to maybe make some greener improvements, right, right, 249 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: So let's talk green building. Dude. Well, there's green materials. 250 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: And you may not know this, but pretty much any 251 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: material that you need to build your house, you can 252 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: find a recycled version of that if you look hard enough. 253 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: So that's where you should start. Well, you're looking at well, 254 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: there's two different ways that something can come to be 255 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: recycled post industrial, so like um fly ash in your 256 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: concrete could be recycled. It could be captured from you know, 257 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: an industrial as industrial waste um and that's actually good. 258 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: I think fly ashes is particularly bad to just bury. 259 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: It's good to use it up from what I understand, 260 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Or it could be post in sumer, meaning like somebody 261 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: took their toilet paper roll, put it in the recycling stream, 262 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: and now it's part of your wood floor. Because that 263 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: does happen sometimes. The laminate floors you can get is 264 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: recycled things pressed together with a wood vineer on top. Right, 265 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: easy to install, cheap, cheap, cheap. Yes. And if you 266 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: have a playground, have you been to the Piedmont Park playground? No? 267 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: But does it have one of those rubber floors? It 268 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: is so much fun to walk on, Josh. Another thing too, 269 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: is you can they have this wood now quote unquote 270 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: wood that you can use for decking. That's not wood, 271 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: it's actually recycled bottles. Yeah, but it looks like wood 272 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: pet bottles, not glass bottles. Yeah. And then speaking of 273 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: quote unquote wood, bamboo flooring is huge. It's actually a 274 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: grass draw of bamboo. Is that it grows back in 275 00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: five to six years, like takes a twenty years, I 276 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: think to to mature filly again. You know you know 277 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: what that's called? Then a sustainable product. Really, that's what 278 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: sustainable means. I have not heard that phrase before. Uh, 279 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: you can recycle steel, you can melt it down, reform it, 280 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: reshape it. The World Trade Center was largely recycled. I 281 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: don't know if you knew that I did, And in fact, 282 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: there was a big breuhaha afterward because a lot of 283 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: the families of victims from the Twin Towers following said 284 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: that's evidence. You should study it. And then Bloomberg, who 285 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: was an engineer, another engineer, said, you know, it's should 286 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: be recycled. There's not a lot you can learn about 287 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: the structural integrity of the building from actually looking at 288 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: the collapse steel. You need to look at like computer 289 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: programs that show how it was built. So we appreciate 290 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: you saying that, but we're going to recycle it. Bloomberg 291 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: was an engineer. I don't know, I said that, so 292 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: I hope so I thought. I thought I read that 293 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: he was an engineer at one point. He's a sharp 294 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: attack maybe not. Cork floor is another um option if 295 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: you want to go green. Besides, it's sustainable as well. Yeah, 296 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: because bamboo a crly um. It's susceptible the spottiness from 297 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: exposure to UV well both oh corcus to corcus too. 298 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: But you need to know this going in. If you don't, uh, 299 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: if you live in a house where you have a 300 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: room that's not like the sun beating down on it 301 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: at all times. Maybe that's a good option. Like bathroom, Yeah, exactly, 302 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: the bathroom that's windowless. You know that doctor's office we 303 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: went to the day was bamboo before. Had you seen that? Unmistakable? 304 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: You can tell people you have grass floor, you can 305 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: you can tell people you have a grass floor. Bamboo 306 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: is grass? Yeah, okay, I don't. I don't know. Um. 307 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: Tankless water heaters obviously, I think we might have talked 308 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: about this before. Do you have one? Are you just 309 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: a fan? No, I'm just a fan. It's called on 310 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: demand heating. And the idea here is if you don't 311 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: know about these, is that your your water heater in 312 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: your basement. If it's a tank, water heater is just 313 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: a big tank full of water and it's always being 314 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: kept hot. So if if you need a shower or 315 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hot. If you're out of town for 316 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: a week, you know, they say turn it down, but 317 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: if you don't, it's still gonna be eating that water 318 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: for nothing. On demand heating means they heat the water 319 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: at the source, then it flows into your faucet and 320 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: uh is hot upon demand instead of keeping it all 321 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: hot you can. You can have one for the whole house, 322 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: or if you just want to have one by like 323 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: just for your dishwasher, you can do that, have like 324 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: a smaller one, and they're a little bit more expensive, 325 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: but you get that money back. You'll save it eventually, 326 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: so they will pay for themselves. Yeah. Well, most of 327 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 1: the stuff like solar heating and all that kind of thing, 328 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: and wind energy, that's all. You know, there's a payoff eventually. 329 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: So you just gotta look at how long you're gonna 330 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: be living there, how much the investment is, what kind 331 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: of tax breaks you're gonna get, and figure out if 332 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: it makes sense for you, or if you've just got 333 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: the dough and you want to do a really green thing, 334 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: then just do it anyway. That's what I say. Insulation, Yeah, 335 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: I like this one. Go ahead. Then, so you've got 336 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: I think heating and cooling is about thirty of your 337 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: the average bill, right, average utility. I don't know, while 338 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: insulation can save fifteen, right, but you're heating and cooling 339 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: is about thirty percent of like all the money you 340 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: put out a month on the utilities, So you proper 341 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: insulations save fift That not too shabby. The problem is 342 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: this fiberglass, and fiberglass can be well, not so good 343 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: for the lungs. This is a kid from Liby Owen's 344 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: corning Forward right down. They've gotten better with it, but 345 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: you still when you see the dudes come in, they've 346 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: got on like the hazmat suit, and you think, what 347 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: am I lining my home with? If these guys can't 348 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: touch it or breathe it, how about this line your 349 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: home instead with old jeans, old blue jeans and newspaper. Yeah, 350 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. And they spray this stuff in. They've 351 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: you ever seen it? I have, and it's fascinating it. 352 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: And not only that, so it's a double doozy. So 353 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: not only are you getting they say it rates better 354 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: as insulation, you're not using the harmful, potentially toxic fiberglass, 355 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: and you're taking all this newspaper and blue jeans and 356 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: saving it from the landfill. So it's like a triple 357 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: whammy right there. So what else do we have? Chuck? 358 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: You got countertops, recycled paper and glass, and aluminum concrete 359 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: is really popular these days. Don't forget to use that 360 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: post industrial fly ash concrete. That's right, But that's all 361 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: the rage very trendy, and of course the compact fluorescent 362 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: light bulb controversial. Yeah, it's it's become a source of um. Well, 363 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: it's become a poster boy for cynics of um the 364 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: ability of one person to make any kind of change 365 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: all they can you want to stat Yeah, well, a 366 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: lot of people don't use them because they complain that 367 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: it's not a warm uh bulb and it's very cold. Yeah, 368 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: they've gotten a little bit better, they've gotten warmer. But 369 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: let's say you're not a fan of it, don't necessarily 370 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: think that you have to go all or nothing. If 371 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: everyone in the country, if every household swapped out one 372 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: bulb in their home, that would save enough energy to 373 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: power three million homes for a year, prevent nine billion 374 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: pounds of greenhouse gasses, which is the equivalent of eight 375 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: hundred thousand cars running for a full year. If everyone 376 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: did one one one bulbs alright, not bad, and they 377 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: last a lot longer. They cost a little bit more, 378 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: but you save about forty dollars per bulb over its 379 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: lifetime because they last ten thousand hours compared to about 380 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: eight hundred two thousand hours. And like I said, if 381 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: you don't like the the white hue of the compact fluorescent. 382 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: Just put one in a place in your house that 383 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: you don't spend a ton of time in and pat 384 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: yourself on the back that you did a little bit 385 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: of good. Can you imagine being the poor sap West 386 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: to stand there in time the fluorescent bulb? See how 387 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: long it lasts? And for quality assurance, we're in a 388 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: lab coach just staring at your watch for ten thousand 389 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: straight hours? I wonder how ten hours? What does that 390 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: break down to? How many days is that? Several? Several days? 391 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: So that's all I got. It's greener to to renovate, 392 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: it seems, as a rule, but within that there are 393 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: things you can do to be even greener. Yeah, Or 394 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 1: if you're gonna build from the ground up, there are 395 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: ways to go about that to make it greener as well. 396 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: Because again, technically, if you demolish your house and recycle 397 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: all of it, yeah, or if or if you renovate 398 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: and don't recycle anything, demolishing was a better choice. There 399 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: was greener Chuck, what else you got? I got nothing? 400 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: I got nothing either. Um diverting waste of the landfill. Yeah, 401 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: we don't do the green thing alive. It's been a while. 402 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: We like to touch these every now and then, and 403 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: so we just touched it. It's been touched, and it 404 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: touched us right there. If you want to learn more 405 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: about all things green, Um, how stuff works had a 406 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: an entire channel dedicated to green. It's a sub channel 407 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: under science. Right, darn skippy. You can just type green 408 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: into the handy search bar and that will bring up 409 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: about fifteen thousand returns. Right since I said search far, 410 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: it's time now for listener mail. Alright, listener mail, Josh. 411 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: I got a couple of things here. I want a 412 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: quick listener mail, and then another list of movies that 413 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: you called for, um, little known or underappreciated movies. Yeah, 414 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: some were quite as little known as yeah. I got 415 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: a problem with a few of these. But first from 416 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: Rachel um Hi, Chuck, Josh, and Jerry huge fan.

Actually, are you gonna read this? Really? 419 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: I asked her, and she said go ahead, yeah, But 420 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: are you gonna ask the snuggy inventor?

The event was Broadway themed and 426 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: the daughter's face was photoshopped onto a bunch of Broadway 427 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: banners like cats and Billy Elliott. I've been to a 428 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: New York Broadway theme. Bought mitzvah before two really people 429 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: with some dough Sure? Yeah, my friend worked to the 430 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: martini bar and allegedly did not get a single tip. 431 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: And that's the scoop from Rachel allegedly. And now little 432 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: known movies are underappreciated movies. What was the exact call 433 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: for overlooked, overlooked um attack Attack the gas station as 434 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: a Korean film? I have not seen that. You have 435 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: not seen that. We had like three or four people 436 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: sending the movie being there, which I've heard it sounds familiar. 437 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: Oh it's great, Peter Seller's how ask But it was 438 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: not overlooked because it made thirty million dollars in nineteen 439 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: seventy nine just pretty, and it was nominated for two 440 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: Academy Awards, one of which one Best Supporting Actor. Maybe 441 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: they mean like by the average person. I think that 442 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: they kind of. I was specifically asking for movie suggestions 443 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: for me, well being there.

I just kicked back and watched and 448 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: it was like, Wow, this is crazy. What do you 449 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: think at the end? Did you think they did it 450 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: or didn't do it? I don't think the Sun did it. 451 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: I don't think either of them did it. I don't 452 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: need I think the dad had. We should probably not 453 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: spoil it for people. Yeah, I think the dad had 454 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: definite issues, and he admitted as such. But I don't 455 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: think he did it. And that he got caught for 456 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: stuff you didn't get caught for. I meant he got 457 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: what a great movie that? Yeah? It was documentary. UM 458 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: one nice lady sent in the movie office space, not 459 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: too terribly overlooked. It depends on the crowd you run with. 460 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: I would imagine if you hang out, um, with both 461 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,239 Speaker 1: who play shuff shuffle board regularly. Yes, office Space may 462 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: have been overlooked. It was overlooked in the theaters. It 463 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: became a big hit on video, so you know what 464 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: was overlooked at the in the theater. So um, that 465 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been looked at. It was Extract, his third movie. Yeah, 466 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: that wasn't very good, terrible, but Idiocracy was awesome. I 467 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: thought it was okay. It started to get a little 468 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: old to me, didn't. Yeah, the premise sort of was like, 469 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: all right, it's a one joke premise, and it got old. No, 470 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: I thought he did well with a one joke premise. 471 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: One thumbs up, one thumbs medium. The Last Waltz. Someone 472 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: sent that in the excellent Martin Scorsese film about the 473 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: band's last performance, which, how dare you?

Ah my god, I've 512 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: never seen a movie unraveled more decidedly than that, And 513 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: I've never been more disappointed and like into a movie 514 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: and then disappointed by how it ended, because it was 515 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: really great up to a point. Um. And then a 516 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: movie called forty four inch Chest with the great Ray 517 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: Winstone and the greater Ian McShane who was swear Engine 518 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: on Deadwood and actually see the owner of the hotel. 519 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: McShane was like the just the big dog in town 520 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: or swearr Engine was.
