00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: It recounted some of my favorite movies, some of the

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: movies I enjoy watching the most. I am a movie guy.

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: I love movies. I've loved movies my whole life, and

Speaker 1: or girlfriend and have a great time at the movies,

00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: and we will see you. We'll do our regular week

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: in review tomorrow on Saturday, and Ben and I will

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: both be back. God will into the creek, don't rise

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: on Monday morning. Enjoy.

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: But I mean, you're a movie theater guy. Just so

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: people know this, I like.

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: The real theater, so I like the big screen.

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: I like popcorn and gummy bears, and and you know

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: the experience of being there. And by the way, I'm

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: also rabbit about staying until the very end, till the

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: last moment of the credits play. I will not get

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: up and leave. There's a sense of completeness of appreciating

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: the entirety of of the the movie. And so what

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: we decided we do today is put together just a

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: compilation of movies that that that I love, that I

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: that I recommend to you, and and and hopefully as

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: you're taking some time with your family, maybe you'll go

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: watch one of them and laugh or cry, and it'll

35
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: touch you and you'll enjoy it. And I think art

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: and storytelling are beautiful, beautiful things.

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: So that being said, and here in the big shows

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: and the big movies on Center Cruise's list, Merry Christmas.

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: I get asked all the time from many of you

40
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: guys that are watching or listening right now, what is

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz like behind the scenes.

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: So we thought we'd have a little fun.

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask him some questions and you're even gonna

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: find out what his favorite movies are.

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Senator, We're gonna have.

46
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: A little fun I get asked all the time when

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: I'm all over the country. In half of this last

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 4: week in New York, so what is Ted Cruz really like.

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: Behind the scenes?

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 4: And I say, I actually, if people got to see

51
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 4: the side of you that I know, you're actually really

52
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: fun to be around. You're also a huge movie buff

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: as well, and so I'm gonna ask some fun questions

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: just to kind of let people know behind the curtain

55
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: who you really are. So let's start with this. What

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: is the last thing you watched on a plane?

57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: What is the last thing I watched on a plane

58
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: was Outer Banks?

59
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Okay?

60
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: Which is a series. It's a teeny bopper series, and

61
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. I am in the middle of season three.

62
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: And there's a reason I'm watching a teeny bopper series,

63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: which is my youngest daughter, Catherine loves Outer Bank.

64
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: She's at camp right now, yep.

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: And when I dropped her off at camp, she said, Dad,

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I want you to watch out her Banks, and I

67
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: want you to write to me in letters and tell

68
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: me what you think is the season's progressing. And so

69
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: I've been regularly I write to her about every couple

70
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: of days and I tell her, Okay, here's where I am.

71
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm at this point. I'm at this point. This character

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: just my favorite character, JB. Yeah, I too.

73
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: So she asked me that I'm a little troubled.

74
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: Her favorite character is JJ, who who is kind of

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: a look I guess if you're a thirteen year old girl,

76
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's always doing the dumbest thing imaginable,

77
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: but he's kind of a I like John B.

78
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: John B is a good character.

79
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: It's such a fun show.

80
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: So when you were growing up, what was it that

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: you were watching high school college?

82
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: But by the way, spoiler alert, I apologize if you

83
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. I'm gonna give a spoiler alert right now,

84
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: so just fast forward through this if you don't want

85
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: a spoiler alert. But in season two, when when when

86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Ward is blown blown up, I knew Ward was not

87
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: blown up, and so I wrote her, I said, yeah,

88
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Ward just died. I'm very confident he's alive. And I

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: remembered they keep scuba gear in the boat. He got

90
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: in the scuba gear and then like sevens.

91
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: There you got to.

92
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: Figure it out, and you're like, they got to keep this,

93
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: they gotta keep the series.

94
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: So I felt pretty good that I was at least

95
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: a step ahead of the teeny Bopper series.

96
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: I like that.

97
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: So what were you watching in high school? Like, what

98
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: were your favorite shows? What was your favorite movie?

99
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 3: So I love movies.

100
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: My parents love movies, like like we would, you know,

101
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: this is what we do. So so every holiday, every Thanksgiving,

102
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: every Christmas, my family would go out and watch.

103
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: Movies that Diehard a Christmas movie.

104
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: Of course, it is okay, good, absolutely, yes, there's only

105
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: one right answer. Diehart is absolutely a Christmas movie. But

106
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: we would go out and do movies. When I was

107
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: a kid, when I was like eight nine years old,

108
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: my dad would drop me off at the theater all

109
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Saturday and.

110
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: I'd watch like five movies.

111
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: I'd go from one theater to the next to the

112
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: next and just watch everything there.

113
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: It's it's we all love movies.

114
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: So what I've done done today for this show is

115
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: I put together a list of twenty five movies. Now

116
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: this is not exclusive. This is not the only twenty

117
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: five movies I like. And I don't even know that

118
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: it's my twenty five favorite, but it's twenty five awesome

119
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: movies which if you haven't watched, I recommend you watch.

120
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: You will enjoy them. You will laugh, you will be moved,

121
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: you will get good things from them. So let's go

122
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: through the twenty five.

123
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: I gotta ask for one more question for you.

124
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: Twenty five what movie have you watched the most in

125
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: your life over and over again?

126
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: Well, that actually happens to be number one on the list.

127
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: I knew it. I like this.

128
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: So my favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. Really,

129
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: I love The Princess Bride, the PRIs I think every

130
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: character in it is exquisite. Every line from every character

131
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: is fantastic.

132
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: I'll tell you.

133
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: In college, we used to play a game called Drinking

134
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: Princess Bride. And so the way you play Drinking Princess Bride,

135
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: as you sit down with a bunch of college kids,

136
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: you put the movie on and you try to say

137
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: each line immediately before it's said. If you get it right,

138
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: you point out somebody they have to drink. If you

139
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: screw it up even slightly, you drink. And if two

140
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: or more people say the same line at the same time,

141
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: everybody drinks.

142
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: So when you get to the asu wish why you

143
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: were so sober in college. Now I understand.

144
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: Look when you get to the as you wishes, Yeah,

145
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: everyone can get them. So they're all socials and it

146
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: is a fun game. My problem is I know just

147
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: about every line from the movie, but I'll screw them

148
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: up slightly, so I end up kind of getting myself

149
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: because I try an awful lot of them. But is

150
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: an exquisite movie. I probably watched The Princess Bride, I

151
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: don't know a couple hundred times. No way, it is fantastic.

152
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: So that's number one on your list, far and away.

153
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Number two on my list is The Godfather Saga.

154
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 4: Couldn't agree with you more. One of the best series

155
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: ever made, period.

156
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to break it down between one,

157
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: two and three. I even like three, which is a

158
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: bit of a heretical idea. I think three stands on

159
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: its own as its own movie. The least that three

160
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: only makes sense in conjunction with one and two.

161
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: Which is when you're in the club.

162
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: I kind of like that, Like you can't fake it

163
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: and go see number three and and think, oh that

164
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: was incredible.

165
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: You have to be in it.

166
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: And look, I quote all of them all the time.

167
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: You know, from three. Every time I get out, they

168
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: keep pulling me back in. I will say it was

169
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: a little depressing with with with my team where I turned.

170
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: You know, senate staffers are all children.

171
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: You know your.

172
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: Average to put that on a T shirt, Your average

173
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: senate staffer is like twenty three, twenty four, twenty five.

174
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: So so things like Godfather quotes they just don't get.

175
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: And and so I.

176
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: I said something. I said, you know, this is the

177
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: business we have chosen. And like everyone looked at me confused,

178
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: and I.

179
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: Said, okay.

180
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: I had like six staffers there. I said, all right,

181
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: do any of you have any idea what I'm saying.

182
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: They're like no, no, no. I said, okay, this is

183
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: Godfather too. And and this is a conversation between Hym

184
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: and Roth, who is clearly modeled after myerland Ski, Him

185
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: and Roth and Michael Corleone, and they're down in Miami

186
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: and him and Roth goes Michael. I had a friend.

187
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: I had a friend since childhood, Moe Green was his name,

188
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: And one day somebody put a bullet in his eye.

189
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I did not ask who was responsible. I did not

190
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: seek retribution. I said, this is the business we have chosen.

191
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: None of them had any idea what I was talking

192
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: about team.

193
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: Building night in the Senate. You should totally you should

194
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 4: totally bring him in one, two and.

00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 3: Three nine hours.

196
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: Yes, this is what you're gonna do. That's team building.

197
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: One won Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.

198
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 4: A favorite line from any of the Godfather is the

199
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 4: best one. Mine's the Canoli.

200
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: Leave, leave the gun and take the cannola.

201
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no brainer. Number three on your list Scarface? Really?

202
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I love me some scarfing.

203
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: Why I notice Pacino has two spots in my top

204
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: three here. I like Pacina, Okay, I love crime movies

205
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: and look Scarface, Stony Montani's Cuban.

206
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: I'm Cuban.

207
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: It's you know, it is larger than life. I can

208
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: quote a lot of lines from it. To be honest,

209
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to because they're pretty off color and

210
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to avoid putting out on the podcast some

211
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: of the language from it.

212
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: But uh, it is, so crime genre is your thing,

213
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: and I like Pacino.

214
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's amazing.

215
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: So my favorite TV show is Criminal Minds. I love

216
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: Criminal Minds.

217
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 4: I'm actually shocked by that one, because if there was

218
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: only one box that I can take with me, my

219
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: whole life.

220
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: Like if I was stuck on it as island, it'd

221
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: be West Wing.

222
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: West Wing is fabulous. I've watched every episode of West Wing.

223
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: I've watched every episode of Criminal Minds. But Criminal Minds

224
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: is I just find it fascinating. Heidi hates it, by

225
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: the way, when Criminal Minds is on, She's like, turn

226
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: that garbage off because you know you've got evil Vicious.

227
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, they're the bad guys though, it's all

228
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: about stopping them. But she just doesn't like that. In

229
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: the house, all right. Number four Fletch never seen it.

230
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: You've never seen Fletch. Go home tonight and watch Fletch.

231
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: It may be the funniest movie ever made.

232
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: Really.

233
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Chevy Chase plays Irwin Fletcher, an undercover investigative reporter. It

234
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: is absolutely hysterical. You know you love chevy Chase, so

235
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: that's It's chevy Chase's best movie. Mut much better than

236
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: Lampoon's Vacation, much better than and He's Done a ton

237
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: I love chevy Chase, but Fletch is head and shoulders

238
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: above them all. You know Grant, who heads up my

239
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: security detail. Grant and I quote Fletch lines back and

240
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: forth at each other every week.

241
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: Really it is Go and watch the movie. Never seen it.

242
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,520

243
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: number five amazing grace.

244
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: Also never seen it.

245
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: A lot of people have not seen it, but it

246
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: is a very good It is the true story of

247
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: William Wilberforce. Now William Wilberforce was a member of Parliament

248
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: in the United Kingdom who led the effort to abolish

249
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: the slave trade.

250
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: Very cool, is it? True? Store?

251
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: True store?

252
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: And Wilberforce So when he started as a young MP,

253
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: the slave trade was the United Kingdom's single greatest source

254
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: of revenue. It was their business. And he begins as

255
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: this young MP arguing we must end the slave trade.

256
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: It is wrong, it is immoral, and everyone laughs at him.

257
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: And it would be like if you were in Texas

258
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: standing up saying we should ban oil and gas.

259
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it was that absurd of an idea back then.

260
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: And he spends fifty years battling for it, and the

261
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: movie ends with him successfully championing and passing the legislation

262
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: abolishing the slave trade and shutting down their most lucrative

263
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: business because it was evil. And by the way, the

264
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: title amazing grace. You know where it comes from. What

265
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: So the person who wrote the hymn amazing Grace.

266
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: Was a friar.

267
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: Who had been the former captain of a slave ship.

268
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: Really he was the captain of a slave ship. And

269
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: think of the words of the song, amazing grace, amazing grace,

270
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.

271
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: I once was lost, but now and found, was blind,

272
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: but now I see and imagine the person writing that

273
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: in that context was the captain of a slave ship.

274
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Presumably he had murdered people, he had beaten people, he

275
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: had whipped people. He mean, I mean you think of

276
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: the evil entailed in being the captain of a slave ship,

277
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: and then the amazing grace that God offered redemption even

278
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: in the face of the horrific evil. It puts a

279
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: whole different character. The book is by Eric Metaxas, who's

280
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: a fantastic author, Christian author does great biographies. I highly

281
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: recommend Amazing Grace number six. Unforgiven, never seen it? Oh, unforgiven?

282
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: Is this is why it makes me laugh when we

283
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: get to do shows like this, because I mean, I

284
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: will go watch these now.

285
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so Unforgiven best Western ever Made won the Academy

286
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: Award for Best Picture.

287
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: Clint Eastwood is in it.

288
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: I could do an age joke. Here was it in

289
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: black and white?

290
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 3: No?

291
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was actually laid Eastwood. You were actually

292
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: out of diapers when it came out.

293
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha.

294
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman is in it. Gene Hackman is in it.

295
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman is spectacular. What's interesting about Unforgiven that is

296
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: so powerful is it turns all of the stereotypes of

297
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: the Western on its head. So, for example, Clint Eastwood

298
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: plays this this outlaw who had turned over a good

299
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: leaf and was good and then was going back gets hired.

300
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: What happens is a woman who is a prostitute is

301
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: badly cut up by a drunk cowboy, and they put

302
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: out a reward to kill the cowboy who cut her up.

303
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: And Clint Eastwood, as this retired outlaw, needs the money

304
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: and so is coming to collect the reward, and Morgan Freeman,

305
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: his partner, comes with him. But there's a point where

306
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: where Clint east Wood, you know, there's there's a young

307
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: kid who wants to be a gunslinger, and and he's

308
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: like practicing on shooting fast and like Clint Eastwood says, well,

309
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, for me, this is about as fast as

310
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: I can draw my gun, point it, aim at it,

311
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: pull the trigger, and hit what I'm aiming at. And

312
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: he said, in most firefights, people are scared out of

313
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: their mind and they're just terrified. And whoever can kind

314
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: of calmly engages who wins. And there are scenes where

315
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: like everyone like, oh crap, and they shoot their foot

316
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: and they dropped their gun and they're like freaking out

317
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: and he kind of and he would just get drunk

318
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: and just sort of systematically banged and it it really

319
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: did invert many of the conventional wisdom.

320
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: Of being a fast draw on everything else. And Gene

321
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: Hackman's character is hysterical. It is.

322
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: He's the sheriff who initially you think might be the hero,

323
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: but he very quickly becomes an anti hero. So excellent

324
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: movie number eight, Team America.

325
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: I've actually seen it.

326
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: Hilarious, okay, and I'm going a little edgy, So Team America,

327
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: Team America, World Police.

328
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: It's a puppet movie.

329
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: I remember when it came out, every red was in shock,

330
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: but I was dying laughing. So Heidi didn't like movies

331
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: very much. I took Heidi to see it. She almost

332
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: fell to the.

333
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: Floor laughing, so she y'all clicked on that.

334
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: It is screamingly funny. Now it makes fun of both sides.

335
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: It makes fun of Republicans, Democrats, everything. It's the guys

336
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: who do South Park who did it.

337
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: It is puppets.

338
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: They are truly equal opportunity offender.

339
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: It is now I'm gonna give a warning. Every third

340
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: word is a profanity. If you're offended by profanity, skip

341
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: this suggestion.

342
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: I will say.

343
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: When we were fairly newlyweds, we went on vacation with

344
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: with Heidie's parents down at Lake Powell, which is fabulous,

345
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: and and we brought it with us and we sort

346
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: of like, Heidi and I remember this is really really funny,

347
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: and I think we didn't quite remember that every third

348
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: word is a profanity. And I'm sitting there with Heidie's

349
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: parents as we're listening to the blinkety blink blink blink

350
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: blink blink. We didn't finish the movie, like ten minutes

351
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: into it. We just can't believe you brought this in

352
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: front of your parents. Right, Yeah, it was, but it's

353
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: still funny, as I'll get it all right, next movie Patten.

354
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: Yep, amazing, amazing movie. I've watched Patten probably five six

355
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: times in my life.

356
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: All right, do you know what I did before every

357
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: Supreme Court argument I ever did? Well, I can figure

358
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: it out now. You watch Patten the whole thing. Just

359
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: which scene the opening speech?

360
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, just.

361
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: The opening speech, George C. Scott in front of the

362
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: gigantic flag, standing up and saying, men, the objective is

363
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: not to give your life for your country. The objective

364
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: is to make that other, poor son of a bitch

365
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: give his life for his country.

366
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: I mean I can dig that. I can dig that.

367
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: It is sound advice.

368
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: If you can watch that speech and not be inspired,

369
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: you're dead.

370
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it is.

371
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: See, those are my weakness. Movies.

372
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: I love true stories. I love good versus evil movies.

373
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 4: I absolutely love sports movies as well, but there's always

374
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: usually a big speech in those.

375
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: By the way, a buddy of mine collects historical military

376
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: equipment and clothing and uniforms, and he has patents dog tags,

377
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: no way, And I actually have worn patents dog tags.

378
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: They have rested on my bare chest and I literally

379
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: felt like I was ready to pull out a pistol

380
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: and start shooting in an airplane like it made you

381
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: You think about that, that that actually rested right above

382
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: the heart of Paton.

383
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: That's incredibly wild. That's a good thing, all right.

384
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: Next movie The Sting Classic. Have you seen this? You've

385
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: never seen The Sting.

386
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't even know. It's about.

387
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: Oh oh, Benjamin, Benjamin Benjamin the Sting. All time classic.

388
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: Robert Redford, Paul Newman. They're they're con men.

389
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: It is this is this is what I can really

390
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: mess with. Wait. Newman does something outside of like Sasa.

391
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: It is hysterical, it is beautifully done. Go and watch

392
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: what's it about? It's about conman? Okay, and it's it's

393
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: worth watching. I probably watched it one hundred times. It's

394
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: such a good movie.

395
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: All right. Next movie Awakenings.

396
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I've seen that, so Awake. It's only one.

397
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: So Awakenings is fabulous. Robert de Niro.

398
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: You're a de Niro fan.

399
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: I like de Niro a lot. Not a fan of

400
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: his politics, but a big fan of his acting.

401
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: Is a great actor.

402
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Although as much de Niro got all the acclaim, but

403
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: I actually thought Robin Williams stole the show.

404
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: I love Robin Williams, so this is what this is

405
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: right at my alley.

406
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: Robin Williams is one of my all time favorite actors ever.

407
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's an incredible comedica.

408
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: So you're gonna laugh.

409
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: I was asked the question if you could have dinner

410
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: with like any five people who would be at your table,

411
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 4: living or alive or dead. I had Robin Williams for

412
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: years in my list because I think he's just one

413
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: of the most brilliant actors and genuinely funny human beings.

414
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: So when Robin Williams passed, I genuinely cried and I

415
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: wrote a long statement about Robin Williams on Facebook that

416
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: I put up and it just I hammered it out

417
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: of my iPad because he he is so funny. His

418
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: stand up if you've ever watched his stand.

419
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: Up routine on golf, yeah, I've watched.

420
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: The one on golf is again profane language, but as

421
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: funny as anything that has ever been said, like screamingly

422
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: funny awakenings the portrayal he gives. I actually like Robin

423
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: Williams even better in dramatic performances than comedy, and he's

424
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: one of the funniest human beings ever alive, So awake

425
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: on the list, Yes, fabulous, all right. The next two

426
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: I view together Braveheart and Gladiator.

427
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: Both amazing, no brainers, incredible and.

428
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 4: Mel Gibson Russell Crowe right, yes, back to back, how

429
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: can you get that wrong?

430
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: And both standing and fighting and fighting against oppression and

431
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: their epic epic movies. Again, if you're not inspired by them,

432
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: you're dead. I will say, Mike Lee, there's an app

433
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: where you couldn't can put yourself you speaking into an

434
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: audio clip. And he and I used to send things

435
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: back and forth. And you know at the end when

436
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: when mel Gibson is being executed, he screams freedom. So

437
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: Mike would send me videos of him screaming to mel

438
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: Gibson's voice Freedom. It was pretty powerful, all right. Next

439
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills Cop.

440
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 4: Hands down one of the funniest movies ever.

441
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: Just screamingly funny. Eddie Murphy, you're gonna laugh.

442
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 4: I consider that a Christmas movie because it's like Days Off.

443
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: I want to watch the classic. I watch that.

444
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: It is, every moment of it.

445
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy remains one of my favorite actors of all times.

446
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 4: I just got a new one coming out, a sequel

447
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 4: coming out on Amazon I think it's on Amazon Prime.

448
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 4: Did you see that recently? I just saw it this

449
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 4: last week. I don't know which one it was, but they.

450
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: Were teasing, Yes, they're doing a Beverly Hills Cop.

451
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: Too, Okay, is that what it is?

452
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: Or A three?

453
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

454
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: But look, the original Beverly Hills Cop is screamingly funny.

455
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: And I actually have three Eddie Murphy movies in a

456
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: row because I love Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, Yes,

457
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: and Coming to America.

458
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 4: So Coming America is one of the first movies that

459
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: was like really edgy that I remember, like in my

460
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: adolescent seeing hilarious.

461
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: Again, screamingly funny, and Eddie Murphy in Arcindeo Hall and

462
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: they play multiple characters and all the different you know

463
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: in the barbershop. When you have Eddie Murphy in our

464
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: Senel Hall going back and forth. I mean, it's amazingly

465
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: And you know what, they probably wouldn't let you make

466
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: that movie.

467
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: Today because it it.

468
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: Gets racially edgy in a way that like now you

469
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: know the woke world.

470
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: No, no, you can't laugh about that. No no, no, no, no, you can't.

471
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: You can't.

472
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: You can't have any of that humor. By the way,

473
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: you want funny humor, go back to Young Eddie Murphy

474
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: on SNL when he was like nineteen years old, brilliant

475
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: and just edgy, comedic like brilliance.

476
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: I love.

477
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: He's by far my favorite character ever on SNL was

478
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: Young Eddie Murphy because it was just so funny.

479
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: I like it. Mine's Farley by the way.

480
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: Look he was he was great and he put his

481
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: hole into it.

482
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I also love that.

483
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: Man and a little Jackelie, that man down by the river.

484
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 4: I mean, but I also love like comedy when there's

485
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 4: people falling over, and he could do that.

486
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 3: This physical comedy is incredible, all right.

487
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Next on the list, Wall Street, Yep, just all time

488
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Gordon Gecko, one of the great all time classics. By

489
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: the way, a line that I quote frequently. Gordon Gecko

490
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: is in the locker room getting cleaned up after playing racketball,

491
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: and he turns to Charlie Sheen and he goes, I'm

492
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: on the board of the Bronx Zoo. Cost me a

493
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: million bucks. That's the thing about wasps love animals, hate people.

494
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 3: There's some insight there.

495
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: There is some insight there for sure.

496
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: Hidden Figures. Yes, wonderful movie. Incredible movie about the African

497
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: American female mathematicians who were foundational to America going to

498
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: the Moon. And for me, there are two kind of

499
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: personal reasons why that movie is significant to me.

500
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's got to be because of Houston.

501
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, when we went to see the movie, I took

502
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: my mother to the movie. I took Heidi to the movie.

503
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: I took both my daughters to the movie. And it

504
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: was interesting my girls. It was the first time they'd

505
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: seen a movie that had segregation.

506
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, the bathroom is the most one of the most

507
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 4: iconic scenes in that whole.

508
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: Movie, and it led to I had a long conversation

509
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: with both of them and they were like, well, why

510
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: would people have done that? And to talk about segregation

511
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: and civil rights and just sort of walk through the

512
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: history of it. It prompted really good conversations with my girls.

513
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: But secondly, so my mom. My mom graduated from Rice

514
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty six and she had a math degree

515
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: and she went to work as a computer programmer at Shell.

516
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: She subsequently went to work at the Smithsonian. And you

517
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: remember the movie Hidden Figures begins with Sputnik being launched

518
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: instead of the space race being beginning. One of my

519
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: mother's first assignments at the Smithsonian was to help compute

520
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: the orbits of Sputnik. And so in front of the girls,

521
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: I asked my mom. I said, Mom, you were doing this,

522
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: and in fact, you were doing it ten years earlier.

523
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: You were doing it in the fifties. Hidden Figures is

524
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: set in the sixties, And I said, how accurate is it?

525
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: And my mother thought it was very accurate, that it

526
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: did a really good job of conveying what it was

527
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: like to be a woman in space and science and

528
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: in a technical environment. And I commented to her, I said, okay,

529
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: one of the strange things to a more modern ear

530
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: is that they referred to the women there as computers. Yeah,

531
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: and we think of a computer as a piece of metal.

532
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 4: But they were actually called computers because they were actually

533
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 4: doing the math.

534
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: And my mother started laughing at me, and she said

535
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 1: her first job title was computer and when she started

536
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: at Shell, she had a business card that said eleanor

537
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: Darra computer No way.

538
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: And so.

539
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: In response to that, I introduced legislation to rename the

540
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: street in front of NASA headquarters Hidden Figures Way. And

541
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: this is actually a really cool story. I introduced that

542
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: legislation before it could pass, and we would have gotten

543
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: it passed. But a DC City councilman saw that legislation

544
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, that's a great idea. And

545
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: the DC City councilman introduced it in the DC City council.

546
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: Guy's a Democrat. Yeah, and he got it passed. So

547
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: the DC City Council passes it.

548
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: That's cool.

549
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: So I went to the street signed dedication and that

550
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: that is the street sign there, and I was there,

551
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: I spoke at the denawary it it is the headquarters

552
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: of NASA in Easy and so NASA, the address of

553
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: NASA is one hidden Figure's way. And so I spoke

554
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: of the dedication. The DC City councilman spoke, and he's

555
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: a Democrat. I'm a Republican. And I told the story

556
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: of my mom, which was really cool to get to tell.

557
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: And I said, look, at some level, you might say, listen,

558
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: the street sign's not that big.

559
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: A deal, that one is.

560
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: But at another level, you know, fifty years from now,

561
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: one hundred years from now, some little girl, some little

562
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: boy is going to come visit NASA and they're gonna

563
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: look up and see the street sign, and they're gonna say.

564
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: Hey, what does that mean?

565
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're going to hear the story of the

566
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: pioneering African American women who were the mathematicians that got

567
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: us to the moon. And so it's where movies and

568
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: stories are powerful.

569
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: Did any of the characters of the movie, Did any

570
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: of them get to come to.

571
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: That that they had passed by the time we did that?

572
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: So no, all right, we just got a few more.

573
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: Shindler's list one of the hardest movies to watch. Yes.

574
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: The other one is that I can I've only watched

575
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: it one time because I just can't bring myself to

576
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: watch it again. Is Lone Survivor. Those two movies to

577
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 4: me are must sees. But I just I don't know

578
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 4: if it's because I've become a dad and having kids

579
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 4: now and watching the kids. I just can't watch them

580
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 4: like I used to.

581
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: So, as you know, a couple of weeks ago, I

582
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: was at Normandy for the eightieth anniversary of D Day,

583
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: and wildly enough I got to meet Steven Spielberg and

584
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, which was really cool, and I had pretty

585
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: extended conversations with both of them, and they've done look

586
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: their politics are both left to center, but they've done

587
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: an amazing job really honoring and telling the stories of

588
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: the greatest generation, whether saving Private Ryan, whether Band of Brothers,

589
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: whether the Pacific And so they were talking about that,

590
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: and I was talking with Spielberg about about Schindler's List

591
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: and just you know, talking with the heroes, the World

592
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: War II heroes who almost all say, well, I could

593
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: have done more. I could have done more, and the

594
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: real heroes are under those crosses behind us. And I

595
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: was telling Spielberg, I said, hearing them say that reminds

596
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: me of the end of Schindler's List, where Oscar Schindler

597
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: is like, I could have done more, and he looks

598
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: down at his gold watch and he said, this watch,

599
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: this watch could have saved three more people. Three more

600
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: people are dead because I kept my watch. And you

601
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: think about the heroism of his rescuing Jews from the

602
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Nazis and the incredible courage, but at the same time,

603
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: the like, why didn't I do even more? And that that,

604
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: to me, is the most beautiful moment of that movie,

605
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: is the the sort of did I do enough? Yeah, Okay,

606
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a detour, a detour to the world

607
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: of musicals.

608
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: So I like musicals.

609
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: Do you like Broadway?

610
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: I do. I love Broadway absolutely.

611
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 4: So like you, if you go to New York, you

612
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 4: would put it on your list to go see a show.

613
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: I love Broadway, and I'm gonna have four musicals on here.

614
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm ready.

615
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: So number one is my father's favorite movie of all time,

616
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: which is My Fair Lady. Okay, and My Fair Lady

617
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: is fantastic.

618
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 4: I've seen it because of my mom and my sister

619
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 4: multiple times.

620
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: I've never English, I've never watched that.

621
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: He's had of children how to speak, Norwegians learn Norwegians.

622
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: The Greeks are taught their Greek.

623
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: See.

624
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: This is why I said this show would be entertaining,

625
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: because I would have never thought you were musical. It

626
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 4: is spec favorite Broadway show you've ever been to.

627
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to that. Okay, go ahead, let me

628
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: get to that. So the second one there is Oliver. Yep, great,

629
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: Oliver is spectacular. So so look, I was in high school.

630
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: I was president the drama club.

631
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: I have way too many one liners, but I'll leave

632
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: that for another show. Keep going.

00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: You were captain of the tennis team. I was president

634
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: the drama club. Okay, I get that. There's a reason

635
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: why you would have stuck me in the locker if

636
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: you if yeah, that.

637
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,760

00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

639
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: But so look, I I all politicians are frustrated actors.

640
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 3: It's just it's just part of the the it is

641
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: high school. Oh yes, a lot. What were you in

642
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: so I did?

Speaker 2: Do we have eight tracks of this or what? What

Speaker 3: There?

646
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: They may be somewhere. Okay, So let's see. I've done

647
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: Sound of Music twice.

648
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: What'd you play?

649
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: So I played?

650
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: The first time I played Rolf Yeah, uh you know,

651
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: and I warbled out you are sixteen going on seventeen,

652
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: no way. And then the second time I played Max yep.

653
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: I also, so I did Oliver, and Oliver is.

654
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: A fabulous classic.

655
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: So Oliver was my senior year and the head of

656
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: the music department told me, hey, we're doing Oliver next year,

657
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, I'd love to have you

658
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: play Fagan if you can sing it, and and my curse, look,

659
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm a terrible singer. I cannot carry save in a

660
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: bucket like like I wish I could.

661
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: I have you were not.

662
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: It, And so I actually went and for like six

663
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: months I took voice lessons to try to get be

664
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: able to sing that Fagan is such a thing.

665
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: Did you get any better in the six months?

666
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 3: A little bit?

667
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: And so what happened? And the nice thing about Fagan

668
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: is is Fagan's songs are more spoken than sang. So,

669
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: for example, the song reviewing the situation, a man's got

670
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: a hot, hasn't he? Joke a pot, hasn't he? And

671
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: though I'd be the first to admit that I wasn't

672
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: a saint, I'm finding it hard to be really as bad.

673
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: So you want to see you dad next ti, I'm

674
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: gonna say, there's six months is worth it?

675
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: Now?

676
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: Right?

677
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: I'm a viewing the situation? Can a fellow be a

678
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: villain all his life?

679
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: All the trials to settle down and get myself a wife?

680
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: And you remember.

681
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: I will cook and sew for you, and come for you,

682
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: and go for you, and go for you and nagget

683
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: you the finger, she will wag at you.

684
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: How many tickets they sell for? This is what I

685
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: really want to know. So I prepared that song was one.

686
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: Now it's mostly spoken, it's not release, so I could

687
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: do it marginally competently after six months practicing. I did

688
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: that at the trial and then and then afterwards, music

689
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: director said, hey, Ted, stick around, and he went to

690
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: the piano and he said sing this, and he went

691
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: and I went and he did it like three times

692
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: and he goes, Okay, damn it not happening. So I

693
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: was cast as Bill Sykes. It's the second male lead

694
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: with no singing. It's a fun role. You're the villain.

695
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: You get to like beat up Oliver, twist and like

696
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: you're but but I wanted.

697
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: I wanted to play that.

698
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: Role badly, and I did not get it all right.

699
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: Two more musicals Hamilton, which is utterly exquisite. I've seen

700
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: it multiple times. It is brilliant, it is beautiful, it

701
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: is powerful. My girls know the songs. There are few

702
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: things that make me happier than when my daughters are

703
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: singing songs from Hamilton. I mean it was there was

704
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: a period where they were obsessed with it.

705
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 4: You and I were talking about this the other day.

706
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: My dad I took him to New York for the

707
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: first time ever for seventieth birthday, and and you said,

708
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: did you go see a show? And I was like,

709
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: do you want to see Hamilton. He's like, God, I'd

710
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: rather go the Yankees game. And then the next night

711
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 4: I was like, which is that? I rather have a

712
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: nice meal. I tried hard, I tried to get him

713
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 4: to Hamilton. It just wasn't on the list.

714
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: And then my.

715
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: Favorite music of all time is limis Really and I

716
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,440

00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: I get I get the lump in the.

719
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 3: Rooked up all right? So what song gets you choked up? Oh?

720
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: The one, the most famous. I'm terrible with it. It's

721
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 4: the one that Anne Hathaway does. It's so good.

722
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: Oh and and she won won the Academy Awards for

723
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: every time it gets me, So that is beautiful. I'll

724
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: tell you that the two that get me choked.

725
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: Up our number one.

726
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: When John Valjean is saying let him live, yep, and

727
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: he's looking down and he and he says, you know,

728
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: if I die.

729
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: That one's to me die, yeah, let him live.

730
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: And it's a prayer to God to let him live

731
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: every time. I have tears every time. Then the other

732
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: one that gets me is the song Empty Chairs and

733
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: Empty Tables. At the end when everyone has died, and

734
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: I will con fest at the end of the presidential

735
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: campaign in twenty sixteen, as I walked through the empty

736
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: campaign office and I saw the empty chairs and empty tables,

737
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: I heard that rephrames of that.

738
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 3: Song, so les Miz is exquisite. All right, by the way,

739
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: when I was all right.

740
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: So nineteen ninety three, I was just finished my first

741
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: year of law school, and I had a job in

742
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: New York. I was working in a law firm in

743
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: New York for the summer, and I decided to fly

744
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: my mom to New York for the weekend. And so

745
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: it's nineteen ninety three. So I actually fedexed a plane ticket.

746
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: And this is back when a plane ticket was a

747
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: piece of cardboard. Yeah, I fedexed a plane ticket tour

748
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: with nothing else. It was literally she opened the FedEx

749
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: package and just a plane ticket to New York fell out.

750
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: And she called me. She's like, Ted, I assume this

751
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: is you. I said, yeah, I had no note, no nothing,

752
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: just a plane ticket and the FedEx thing.

753
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: Get on the plane. I'll see you soon, mom.

754
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: So I flird in New York and we went out

755
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: to dinner at Boult, which at the time was the

756
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: nicest restaurant in New York.

757
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: Was fabulous.

758
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: And then I took her one night to see Camelot,

759
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: which was really fun. Yep, and then the next night

760
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: to see Le miss and did she love it?

761
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 3: She loved it?

762
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: And it I that's one of those ironed memories for

763
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 2: us a life.

764
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that. That was just very cool to

765
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: go do that. All right, So we have a total

766
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: of three more. I'm gonna say the Magnificent seven incredible,

767
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: watch it ten times the original one, yes with my

768
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: dad all right, all right, that's like in my dad's

769
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: like I grew up on John Wayne and war movies. Yeah,

770
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: like Magnificence seven and that was like I remember what

771
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: was the unforgiven Magnificent seven is the greatest Western that's

772
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: actually originally in a Western.

773
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 3: I'm forgiven.

774
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: It was sort of a modern remake format, but Magnificent

775
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: seven exquisite with you know, Yule Brenner and Charles Bronson.

776
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: And that was the Moss Coburn. Oh, when Mom was

777
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: out of town, that was one of the movies we watched.

778
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it was so good.

779
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: It's it's a fabulous movie. And then I'm gonna end

780
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: with two, uh, Quentin Tarantino.

781
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: Is it? The Inglorious Bastards? Is that where we're going

782
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: with this?

783
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start with pulp Fiction, okay, which is fantastic,

784
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: and then the last one is in Glorious Bastard yep.

785
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: And I feel bad that I left Reservoir Dogs off

786
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,440
