1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for about a year now, 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle. 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: In middle school, I received the award most Enthusiastic to Learn, 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: so that makes me pretty special. And that is what 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are two friends 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: who love each other very much, but what we love 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries. All mysteries, sure, 9 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: but small mysteries specifically. Trust me, No mystery is too small. No, no, no, 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: Why don't you trust me when I tell you we 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: are ready to sniff around? We are the truth Hounds. 12 00:00:48,720 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: Oh hey, Kyle, Hi, Hey, it's s Annah. Hi, Hi, 13 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: Hi are you? Are you busy right now? Yeah? Actually, 14 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: I'm just in the middle of a doulah class and 15 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: I can barely hold the phone because I'm using my 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: dominant hand to hold Arissa's hand. What. Who's Larissa? She's 17 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: a new friend. Um, she's got a really strong grip. 18 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: What's up? Oh? Um, I'm so sorry. I just um, 19 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: we really need to talk. Okay, I'll be right there. 20 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for meeting me here.

You 22 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: remember where it was last time I used to be 23 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: over there, it was like way out there. Now it's 24 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: all the way out here. That the way. Honestly, it 25 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: feels like it used to be. I like, all the 26 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: way out of the horizon and that it's right under 27 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean, look at that, that's inches away. Then the 28 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: next time we come, I feel like it's going to 29 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: be all the way here. That's what I'm saying. Our 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: heads are just gonna be sticking. We're gonna have to 31 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: meet underwater.

You come here to talk about um, yeah, 34 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: that's just a voice. Wow, it seems like we don't 35 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: really have a investigation. I guess we actually don't. I yeah, 36 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: that's funny. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, I guess. 37 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: Uh no, I thought I had an idea that I don't. 38 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: So what do you? What are you gonna do? Um? Honestly, 39 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: it's so hot. I was just thinking I could maybe grill. 40 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think it's definitely like grilling Season's grilling season. 41 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: I just got a grill. You did. Yeah, I think 42 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: I want a grill too. That's great. You know what, 43 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: I think sounds so good on a hot day.

No, but yeah, not a 48 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: problem with that. I don't have a problem with that. 49 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: I guess, um man, let's go do that. Okay, that 50 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: sounds great. Yeah, let's go. Episode nine. We don't know yet. 51 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, so we didn't really have a 52 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: plan for this week. Me Anna, I guess I would 53 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: go to the store and check out their fish selection, 54 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: maybe trout or branzino. I did see a good mackerel recipe, 55 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: but it had heavy whipping cream in it, which defeats 56 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: the purpose. I mean, I wanted to eat fish to 57 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: keep it light and me, Kyle, I might toss something 58 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: on the grill. I'm not above that couple cecs corn 59 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: on the cobs. Hey, I might even make myself a 60 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: virgin mohito if I'm feeling grandto virgin mohito. I'm sorry 61 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: if you're feeling grandieto. Kyle, what does that even mean? Anna? 62 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: You told me to say that. Now I look like 63 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: a damn fool. I love this crazy episode anyway. It 64 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: seemed like, just for once, all was right in the universe. 65 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: No one had any pressing questions. There were no undotted eyes, 66 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: no one crossed tees. Everything was as it should be, chill. 67 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: But then something happened. In between taking some dogs up 68 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: the grill and putting the buns on the grill, I 69 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: noticed there was a new voice message on our tip line. 70 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: All right, don't funk it up. Okay, don't funk up 71 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: my grill. I'm watching you. Peace and quiet. Once I 72 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: could trust that the grill would be properly manned, I 73 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: went into my room, shut the door behind me, and 74 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: listened to the tip Here's what I heard, Hello sounds. 75 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: My name is Whitney, and I have a little squation 76 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: that I think I need your help with. Um. I 77 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: was gifted a little model set that was used for 78 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: the film The Aviator. I'm not sure in what capacity 79 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: it was you it's special, I mean it was very 80 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: close to Scorsese's I don't know what to do with it. 81 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: I need help, all right, chow whoa. I couldn't believe 82 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: what I was hearing. This woman Whitney needed our help, 83 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: and she sounded gorgeous. I mean, sorry, it sounded urgent. 84 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: I knew Anna was at her place also grilling separately, 85 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: so I gave Anna alcohol. Hello. Hi, hey, Sorry, I'm 86 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of grilling and I'm just trying to 87 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: figure this.

Okay, I'll actually you know what, I'll 96 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: do this later, I'll do it. O. Hi, Hi, thank 97 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: you so much for meeting me here. Of course, again, 98 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: any explasure is all mine. It's just it's specifically a 99 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: really beautiful day. I mean, honestly, if you could not 100 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: you could not even create a more beautiful day if 101 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: you tried. Yeah, I mean, there's this boat there in 102 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: the ocean. Do you see it right there? No? Wait 103 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: where that ship? Or god? Yes, beautiful kind of looks 104 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: like the Prates of the Caribbean or something. Oh, I 105 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,119 Speaker 1: was gonna say Titanic. Okay, Oh interesting, Yeah, I don't know. Wow, 106 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: I mean it's a boat. So it's so interesting this investigation. 107 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really know what to say 108 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: about it because the object just sounds really confusing, like 109 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: she doesn't know what to do with it. Yeah, she 110 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: has no idea, and I think she wants us to help. Yeah, 111 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean, in my opinion, it really sounds like a 112 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: piece of art, like we should find something to honor it. Really, 113 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: that's really interesting because to me it sounds like it's 114 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: not art at all. Oh. Yeah, Like I don't know. 115 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: I guess that kind of presents an interesting question though, 116 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: Like I think, really, what we're both kind of asking, 117 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: uha it is what is our Yeah, that's a really 118 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: good way of putting it. So episode nine, what is art? 119 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: So we came up with a new plan. We would 120 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: put our drilling equipment away and help out this Whitney 121 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: person with their object from the movie The Aviator, and 122 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: in the process we would try to decide what art 123 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: is anyway, and who decide that? This wasn't like one 124 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: of our typical investigations. We honestly didn't know if this 125 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: would lead us to a definite, scientifically bound conclusion. But 126 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: there was something about this question that was intriguing to us. 127 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: It felt more like a philosophical quandary, or I guess, 128 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: a rhetorical question, which actually it was pretty cool. To 129 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: start off the investigation. We needed to talk to this 130 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: tipster Whitney. We wanted to find out more about this 131 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: object she had, and asked her how she thought we 132 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: could help or why she thought we could help her 133 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: at all. We set up a time to talk to her. 134 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: It was a little confusing to begin with Hello, why Hi, 135 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: thank you so much for leaving a tip Um. We 136 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: were just so curious. Yeah, I mean, I just don't 137 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: know what to do with this object that I have. 138 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: It's actually two objects. Um, it's actually maybe three objects 139 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: if you count like a piece broke off, so that 140 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: I guess that would be one more object. Lady, can 141 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: you get to it? My corn is literally still in 142 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: the grill. You mean microwave Kyle get off my job. Seriously, 143 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: we asked Whitney to recalibrate. So what are you hoping 144 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: to have happened? Someone gave it to me, I think 145 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: just because I'm kind of like crafty, and she was like, oh, 146 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: maybe you're going to do something with this, and I 147 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: was like, okay. But when I think about it, it's 148 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: like an act, a piece of history, so I feel 149 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: uncomfortable changing it into something else. So I'm like, what 150 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: do I do with this? The big question that I 151 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: think and and I are wondering is why did you 152 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: contact us? I think it's a timing thing. Just I 153 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: was like, I need some answers. It's taken up some space. 154 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: I saw the phone number. It was like fate, I guess, So, 155 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: I guess in your perfect world you kind of want 156 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: us to figure out what to do with it. Yeah, 157 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm struggling with that. Bingo. She was struggling with that. 158 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: Before we set our goodbyes, we arranged in time to 159 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: pick up the object from her. I know things are 160 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: getting really good, but we have to take a break 161 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: for some ads, and the ad break is over. We 162 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: were for sure going to take on the investigation. Ultimately, 163 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: that meant we'd have to see the object in person. 164 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: There was no two ways about it. We would have 165 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: to go pick it up, and that meant going to 166 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: her house where she lived. I was busy admiring my grill, 167 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: so I couldn't tag along for the pickup. Anna went 168 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: on her own. Take a listen, Hi, okay, yeah, let's see. Wow. 169 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: Let me describe Whitney's object really briefly. It was a 170 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: model of some rooms, almost like a little dollhouse, but 171 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: with no roof or paint or any of the fun stuff. 172 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: And my first impression is like, this is amazing, and 173 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: then my second impression is like, huh right, it's like cool. 174 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: Because Marty sat down and probably was like, yeah, this 175 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: will work right, Like he probably like saw this right. 176 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, maybe he doesn't micromanage, and maybe 177 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: just the lead production designer side, I think it would 178 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: have had to at least fly by, and someone would 179 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: have had to at least bring it by and get 180 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: an Okay, well, I'll definitely be in touch. I'll let 181 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: you know. No, of course, thank you so much for 182 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: trusting us. Um I really hope we can help and 183 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: um all right, okay, oh bye bye, thank you. I 184 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: brought the object over to aisles so that we could 185 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: both take a look at it together. We know this 186 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: is audio and we can't show the object to you, 187 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: so we're going to try to be really descriptive about 188 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: what it was that we were seeing. Four walls enclose 189 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: an interior, barricading it from the elements, slabs of styrofoam 190 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: crudely choke a miniature hallway as though we its audience 191 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: are confronted with a high end fashion show whose theme 192 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: for the evening is total dystopia, nameless chateau ruins which 193 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: represent an entry to another time, a time when things 194 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: were symbol All you needed was a bed to sleep 195 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: on and a water source somewhere nearby, light fire, a 196 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: window for a pigeon to perch on. Maybe it'll carry 197 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: away your messages. Maybe it'll die right there. That is 198 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: all to say. I had a pretty good idea of 199 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: what we should do with this object. Toss it in 200 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: the trash. Annah, We're not going to toss it in 201 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: the trash. This is a piece of history. And also 202 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: this is the investigation. Whitney hired us for a job. Oh, 203 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: I mean no offense at all to the object, Whitney 204 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: or the job. I just want to get back to grilling. 205 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: You mean using your microwave? Kyle? What did I tell 206 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: you earlier? Um, to get off your jock exactly? So 207 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: why just now did I look down at my jaw 208 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: and see that you are climbing all over it? I 209 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: don't know. It's just said. Do you say you use 210 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: your grill but you're not a girl master. You use 211 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: your microwave to girl corn? Do you know what, Kyle? 212 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: Why don't you take a walk around the blocky? Pretty serious? Right? Yes? 213 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: Go walk? Yeah around the block. No, keep walking, you 214 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: go walking. You're doing a good job. I'll be back. 215 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm not seen walking, I'm seen standing. Okay, well your 216 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: rock star. After Kyle took a walk around the block 217 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: and thought long and hard about what she did, she 218 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: came back to the house where I was waiting for 219 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: her and not thinking about what I had done because 220 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: I did nothing wrong. Welcome back, I want to not Okay, 221 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: she needs a vomer. That's okay. She hates me for 222 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: it now, but she'll thank me for it later. It's 223 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: just it's just probably a room in the movie. But 224 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: we you haven't seen a movie, so we don't know 225 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: what it looks like. That's exactly what it. Oh you're 226 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: on my face though, huh. Kyle's description actually made it 227 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: a lot less confusing for me, and that got me 228 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: to thinking, what if we got more people to describe 229 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: the object after looking at it? That would probably make 230 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: things really clear. But whom should we talk to? You 231 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: can't just ask anyone. You can't tell a guy on 232 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: the shoulder in the street and say, hey, look at 233 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: this thing. Oh, it's actually in the back of my car. 234 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: It's too big for me to carry mine walking over 235 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: there with me? Are you kidding? That's a sure fire 236 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: way to get your ass beat in the city. We 237 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: needed people with relevant experience, people who knew what was what, 238 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: people who knew art, people who knew the price of things, 239 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: people with good taste. So we came up with an 240 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: official plan. We would find a few experts and show 241 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: them Whitney's object, and hopefully they would tell us its value, importance, 242 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: and frankly, whether it was cool. We tripped over ourselves, 243 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: running over to Instagram and put out a called the Action. 244 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: This one said, do you or someone you know work 245 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: in art appraisal? Alternatively, do you or someone you know 246 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: work at a pawn shop, a vintage store, et cetera, 247 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: where a part of your job is to check something 248 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: out and determine its price. We also encourage people to 249 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: reach out if they had particularly good taste. This basically 250 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: feels redundant at this point, but Kyle made another amazing graphic. 251 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: You should see this thing. A gorgeous shade of blue 252 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: reminiscent of a Danish sky, sits as a canvas to 253 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: three eclectic images, the theme I Am not what I see. 254 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: A USB flash drive disguised as a hamburger, a baby 255 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: mutated reimagined as a vehicle, a sort of nod to 256 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: the rich, well respected aesthetic of steampunk. And finally, what 257 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: looks like two bananas which they are laced up and 258 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: down their torsos with crisp white shoelaces, disrupting the very 259 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: notion of both snacks and footwear. I speak wholly without hyperbole. 260 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: Kyle should have a dedicated wing at Versailles. I know 261 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: they typically don't do modern, but first of all, that's 262 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: how good she is, And second of all, she's so 263 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: good that you should have to sit on a long 264 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: train ride back after seeing her art so that you 265 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: can think about what you just saw the responses came 266 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: flooding in. We narrowed it down to five exceptional people. 267 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: We arranged separate zoom calls with all of them. First, 268 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: we had them introduced themselves. My name is Grace, my 269 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: name is Kristen Um, my name is Melissa, my name's 270 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: alexis Hi, my name is Kaylee. We asked them, what 271 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: makes you so special? By that we you just mean 272 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: that we asked for their qualifications. I'm currently a doctoral 273 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: student in the history of art at Johns Hopkins University. 274 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: But um I actually worked as a research assistant for 275 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: a fine art appraiser in Chicago for about two and 276 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: a half years. I have a vintage store in San 277 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: Francisco called Vacation, So I'm pretty good at trash pricing trash. 278 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: I've been appraising fine arts for about twelve years now, 279 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: and I'm have an accreditation through the American Society of Appraisers. 280 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm an art consultant and curator based in Los Angeles, California. 281 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: I have impeccable taste. Before we really kick things off, 282 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: one of our experts had a disclaimer. Yeah, so, because 283 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: the appraisal business is kind of funny about accountability, and 284 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: like being on the hook for opinions given, I would 285 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: just like to officially give a disclaimer that I am not, now, 286 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: nor have I ever been, a certified appraiser. I'm not 287 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: used pop certified. That's like this whole thing within the 288 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: appraisal business um, and therefore, any any thoughts I have 289 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: on a value of something is like fully ridiculous and 290 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: should not be taken as any counsel or anything like that. WHOA, 291 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: The art world is harsh, but Grace didn't sound like 292 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: a ridiculous person. Grace, it sounded really smart. We didn't 293 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: really care and moved on. Kyle created a slide show 294 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: with aerial photographs that she took of the object in question. 295 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: She did this out of necessity, really, we thought that 296 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: this would be the most efficient way of showing the 297 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: object to the participants. The photos, however, turned out to 298 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: be really cool. Obviously, you know that Kyle isn't a 299 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: stranger to art, but she really outdid herself this time. Damn. 300 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: Move over, Bobby Mabelthorpe. There's a new talent in town. 301 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: I think next, I'm going to share my screen and 302 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to show you the object. Absolutely Okay, can 303 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: you guys see that. Okay, Um, I'm just gonna sort 304 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: of move through the images. If you want to closer 305 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: look at it, I'll stop on it. I actually can't 306 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: zoom in, but i'll stop h m hm. And that's 307 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: the end, but I'll go back. Everyone got to look 308 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: at the object and gave their first impressions. Oh, I 309 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: think really it's kind of the shambles, isn't it. It 310 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: seems like there was a lot of potential there. Um. 311 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: It looks like it might have gotten dropped. It looks old. 312 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: I think it's been through some stuff because it looks 313 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: like an architectural model that got dropped. The responses were buried, 314 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: but the real star of the show's actually Kyle's photographs 315 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: of the object. They were really good, and everybody really 316 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: seemed to like them. This looks like it's in a gallery. Oh, 317 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: really good photography. I actually took these photos, and I 318 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: was really proud of how good I took them. They're 319 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: very like clear. So we got down to it. We 320 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: asked them, in their professional opinion, how much would something 321 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: like this be worth? In your professional opinion, how much 322 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: do you think it's worth. I think it would probably 323 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: depend on what the fan community is like willing to 324 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: pay for this. Celebrity prevenence and ownership is definitely a 325 00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: positive value characteristic um and it gets associated with a 326 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: film and people collect that stuff. So let's see how 327 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: somebody who loves the movie Les Leo, loves Smartin you know, 328 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: or something like that could probably pay. Might have been 329 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: a money for that. The value could probably go pretty high. 330 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 1: If you had to uh Scorsese freaks, huh. Maybe there 331 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: was something there. If you were a fan of the 332 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: movie The Aviator, this probably meant more than if you 333 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: weren't a fan of the movie The Aviator. Then we 334 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: asked them, in their non professional opinion, how much was 335 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: this object worth. What I'm talking about is when you're 336 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: clocked out of work, you've tossed over your tie, your 337 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: purses on backward, you've left your door with your name 338 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: on it, caught a lift cross town to the local 339 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: watering hole. You've taken your first shot, and now you're 340 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: sitting with the second one, just sipping on it. You're 341 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: just waiting around for your onion rings to drive from 342 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: next door. They don't share the same staff, the bar 343 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: and the onion ring place, but they're old friends. That's 344 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: the opinion. We were looking for um in your personal opinion, 345 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: Like you're just out um with a couple of friends 346 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: and conversations flowing, and you guys are showing each other 347 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: the whole stuff and going, I pay that much for 348 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: that thing you're showing me. You're definitely tipsy too, and 349 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: for whatever you. Me and Kyle are really good friends 350 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 1: and we're just out doing our thing, and I go, 351 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: I got something really crazy. It is a fiscale model 352 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: of Martin Scorsese The Aviator, and we're such good friends. 353 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna how you know? And then how much 354 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: would you? Yeah? I mean I would try to get 355 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: it as cheap as possible. Maybe I would be like, 356 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: what do you want for it? Like, oh, you're selling it, 357 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: Like what do you want? You know? Oh, if one 358 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: of my friends started to sell me this, I would 359 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: tell them they're full of ship and I would not 360 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: buy it. I would say, you have to pay me 361 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: to take it off your hands. I think I probably 362 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: take a picture of it and put it on the 363 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: gram maybe not the main page, but like it would 364 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: definitely merit a story. Finally, we asked them the seemingly 365 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: simple yet most complicated question of all was this art? 366 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I really think that that depends on your 367 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: perception of what art is, art a process or as 368 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: art a product. No, no, no, I'm sorry. Just answer 369 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: the question, is it art or not? Yeah? I would say, 370 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: I would say in its own way, as its allot, 371 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, yeah yeah. We had talked to our experts, 372 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: and the majority decided that this object was in fact 373 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: art barely but at least it was something for us 374 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: to work with. But what would come next? We thought 375 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: about what we had heard. I think it would probably 376 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: depend on what the fan party is willing to pay 377 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: for this That's right. One of our experts seemed to 378 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: believe that this thing's value depended on the spectator's relationship 379 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: to the movie the aviator. More simply, this thing's value 380 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: was determined to buy the viewer. Wait, Kyle, First of all, 381 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: you sound really smart. Second of all, are you saying 382 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: what I think you're saying? That beauty is in the 383 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: eye of the beholder? Um? Not at all? Oh uh okay, cool, um. 384 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: I love the shirt that you're wearing. Who whose is it? 385 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: It's mine? Okay, moving on, we figured out that if 386 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: you were a fan of the movie The Aviator, this 387 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: thing would be a huge deal to you, and that 388 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: got us thinking maybe the reason why Anna and I 389 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: were so confused by this object was because both of 390 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: us had never seen the movie. And I'm going to 391 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: be brutally honest with you, we had no interest in 392 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: doing so. Me, Kyle, I like movies with big booms. 393 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: You know, the type of movie where there's only twenty 394 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: four minutes left in this world and the only person 395 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: who can save us is a troubled, handsome marine with 396 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: a checkered past, and his catchphrase is boom baby, boom. Motherfucker. 397 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: And that's also the name of the movie. So every 398 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: time he says it, you whisper to your friend, Yeah, 399 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: that's the name of the movie, motherfucker. And me, Anna, 400 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: I like a movie that's about three and a half 401 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: hours long. An elderly European couple sit across a table 402 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: from one another and stare at their last potato, each 403 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: not daring to be the first one to reach for it. 404 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: What will we eat tonight? One asks in Romanian, That 405 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: is the question. The other response in French. The Romanian 406 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: one doesn't understand the French one, and therein lies the 407 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: plot of the movie. It's simple, it's moving, It's an 408 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: immediate palm deor. I had a hypothesis and I decided 409 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: to look into it. Whitney, our tipster, also didn't know 410 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: the value of the object in her possession. My guess 411 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: was that she also had not seen the Aviator. I 412 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: sent her a text, Hey, it's Anna the truth Hound. 413 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: Quick question, have you actually seen the Aviator? She responded 414 00:33:53,120 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: immediately nope. I doubled down. Any does ire to see 415 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: it again? She responded immediately nope. We were onto something 416 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: and now an ad break. The ad break is over. Whitney, 417 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 1: Anna and I didn't care at all about this movie. Therefore, 418 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: we didn't care at all about this object. So we 419 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: came up with another plan. Rent out a movie theater 420 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: and host a private screening of the Aviator for me, 421 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: Anna and Whitney, just us girls. We thought it would 422 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: be a good idea to do the screening at a 423 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: the dirt because we wanted to give ourselves the magical 424 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: movie going experience. There's nothing like seeing a movie at 425 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: a theater, and we wanted to keep it private because 426 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: we were doing a job and we didn't want distractions. Plus, 427 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to be playing in theaters. 428 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it came out in two thousand four, no offense. 429 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: How would we get ahold of a movie theater? I 430 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: had an idea. I had a connection in Hollywood. One connection. 431 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: It was this guy. In the interest of protecting his 432 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 1: professional reputation, I'm just going to call him Beef. Did 433 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: you just say beef? No, beaf b E v E. 434 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's us to his actual name or something. Anyways, 435 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: this guy loved going around town talking a big game 436 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: about how he once took a general meeting at Seth 437 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: Rogan's production company. Generals are meetings to get your face 438 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: in front of someone important in the business, to be 439 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 1: like I'm here, f y I and they go, we'll 440 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 1: be in touch. To me, that sounded awesome. Well, this guy, 441 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: who I knew my only Hollywood connection, not only did 442 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: he take his general at Seth Rogan's production company, but 443 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: he also said that it went really well. Wow, So 444 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: I asked him. I thought it might have been a 445 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: bit of a long shot, but he totally came through 446 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: and hooked us up with a theater all to ourselves. 447 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: The theater was rented out just for ourselves, and it 448 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: was fully operation, every part of it, not just the screen, 449 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: the concession stand, the bathrooms, our very own screening guy, Dax. 450 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 1: The screening day was set. You were excited, I mean 451 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: not for the movie, but for the experience and to 452 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: hang out with Whitney. She seemed really cool there she 453 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: hi before. Yeah, this is a huge door. Come in. 454 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: Not that it was about this, but Whitney was gorgeous, 455 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: And not that it was about this, but it really 456 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: was a big door. Anyway, we did what we do best. 457 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: We showered Whitney with compliments. And those shoes are fabulous. 458 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: Shoes are fabulous, comble. We walked through the lobby, past 459 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: the concession stand, our very own forbidden playground, armed with 460 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: heaving bags of popcorn, smiles as wide as the Mississippi River. 461 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: We took our seats. Before we would start the movie, 462 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: we asked our private projectionist, Dax, if he would give 463 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: us a little speech. It wasn't necessarily in his job description, 464 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: but I just really like when movie theaters do that. 465 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: Thank you for coming to Dynasty typewriter theaters. Today's movie 466 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: is The Aviator. Please silence your cell phones. And there 467 00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: is no recording in Enjoy the Fell, Thank you, thank you. Yeah, 468 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: dude like to talk in the movies or now yeah, okay, 469 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: good Okay. I think normally I don't, but because it's 470 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: just us, I think to me, it's okay, okay, so 471 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 1: we can have a good time. We should still whisper perspective. 472 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: Good movie, Yeah, we can have a good time. Okay. 473 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: Music is pretty good. Okay. It kind of look, doesn't 474 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: it look like a marble movie thing. We had to 475 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: keep our eye on the prize. Whitney's object was a 476 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: model of some room in this movie. We didn't know 477 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: when it would show up, but we hoped when it 478 00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: did we would recognize it immediately. And and we thought 479 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: that it might even feel like spotting a friend in 480 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: a movie. You know, you probably have that friend that's 481 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: been pursuing acting for a long time and you finally 482 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: get to see his portrayal of Guard number two in 483 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: some summer blockbuster and you're like, there's David. Wow, he's 484 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,919 Speaker 1: really doing it, you know what. He's pretty good as 485 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 1: Guard number two. We thought it would be like that, 486 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: and then it happened we spotted the room and it 487 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: wasn't just a room. It was the screening room or 488 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:48,240 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio's Howard Hughes watches the movie because there's the chairs. 489 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: Dollars a day. So now I'm thinking they probably they 490 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: had all these medals because it's like a period piece. 491 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: They want to make sure everything was like something. It's beautiful, 492 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: disconsins are actually really it's really pop this time. I 493 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: don't know that it's a good model because we could 494 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: recognize it there. It was right in front of us. 495 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:24,240 Speaker 1: In the movie kept going and our friend the rooms 496 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: kept appearing. It really seemed like a main focal point. 497 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: There's chairs, look igentical, the little production model. So that's 498 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of nice to see that kind it's so 499 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: far into the movie. It wasn't like a first draft. 500 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: It's like, this is the final draft. Totally cool this 501 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: you know what it is? Cool? Alright? That is just beautiful. Agree, 502 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 1: And that was that. Two and a half hours later 503 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: we were done with the movie. It was great to 504 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 1: see our friend the screening room, but to be brutally 505 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 1: honest and keep in mind no offense, it was one 506 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 1: of the most boring movies that any of us had 507 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: ever watched. It kept going and going and going and 508 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: sh thank you, thank you. Wow. Well, I I gotta say, 509 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited to get out of here. I don't 510 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: think I can watch anything for a while. Yeah, it 511 00:42:54,400 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: was really boring, but even so, we asked Atney if 512 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: it felt like seeing a friend in a movie. Was 513 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: it kind of like seeing a friend in a movie 514 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: or something like that. We then asked Whitney if it 515 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: made her appreciate her object more. I think that the 516 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: pieces mean more to me. Now what do I do 517 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 1: with them? It's like I just can't throw them away. 518 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: We were hoping that watching the movie would make her 519 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: appreciate the object more, but realistically it seemed to just 520 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: make her feel guilty for wanting to get rid of it. 521 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: That is to say, we were actually left with a 522 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: lot of questions. We ditched Whitney at the movie theater 523 00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: and headed to the beach right there and then in 524 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: the middle of our Hollywood night, Oh oh my lord, 525 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: so dark. Yeah, I can't see anything, you know what. 526 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 1: I actually wonder if we should be a little quiet 527 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: because we're under a house. Hou some people are probably sleeping. Um. Wow. 528 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: You The funny thing about coming to the beach at 529 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: night is you really can't. It just looks like nothing 530 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: like I can hear it. Yeah, it sounds beautiful. We 531 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: might as well be in like my closet. Yeah, I 532 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,720 Speaker 1: might as well be in my bed listening to audio 533 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 1: of the pace. That's what I'm saying exact, because it 534 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 1: looks just like darkness. Well that anyway, that literally, that 535 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: was awful. It sucks. I'm sorry, no offense like it 536 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: made me want to scorn any movie I ever see. Again, 537 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: I have never heard you use more strict words. I 538 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 1: want to go to the person who makes movies and say, 539 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you should rethink what you're doing. You 540 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: want to go up to Martin Scorsese and say, you 541 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 1: know what, I get a second opinion, don't quit your 542 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: day job, Scorcy Scorse. I like that. Well, the thing is, 543 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: it's crazy that we had to sit through that and 544 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,359 Speaker 1: then we still are no farther in our investigation than 545 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: we were before we saw it. So really it added nothing, 546 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: and it took away like four to five hours of 547 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: our time. It feels like that's what it felt like. 548 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: It felt like a four to five hour movie. I'm 549 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: at a loss. I don't really know what we're gonna do. 550 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: You know what I think we have to do and 551 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think we have to make this episode 552 00:45:54,320 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 1: of two parter oh no yeah, to be continued.
