Answers, Yes, 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: Wendy's does have a better chance of rebuilding in. 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: Twenty twe than either of those teams do. And is it? 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: I mean that's something. 21 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: Though, we tell you know because Wendy's In case you're 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: just tuning in when the big headline today Wendy's is 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: closing like three hundred stores across the country. Uh, they're 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: calling this a rebuilding year for them. Uh, they still 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: will rebuild faster than the Raiders. Even though the Raiders 26 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: have Fernando Mendoza coming in, it will still rebuild faster. 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: I think that's absolutely true. 28 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: It's yeah it fries. It's easier to get burgers. 30 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: You could go to a burger place and get a 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: burger and fries and go, eh, I've had better, but 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: I still aid it. You can watch a guy play 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: quarterback and go, yeah, I've seen better and we lost 34 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: by twenty. So you much more upset coming off of 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: the football. See that every Sunday Burger, fries, pizza, and 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: uh lovin for they matter how bad they are. Maybe 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: that's uh, maybe that's it. That maybe Wendy's comes back 38 00:01:54,160 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: with pizza. You never can't tell pizza burgers. Oh there, 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Wendy's the thing for Wendy's come back 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: with a cheaper menu like Costco where you can get 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: a whole meal for like five dollars, and people, everybody's. 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: Gonna pull that. 43 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: Be that that less expensive alternative, because now the meals 44 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: are incredibly expensive at McDonald's and burg every place you 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: go for fast food. Be that, and you know, make 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: stuff a little bit smaller. Worry about up and you 47 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: will just truck right through and make all kinds of Yeah, 48 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: but you make it a little bit smaller. What's gonna happen? 49 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: Folks aren't necessarily buying too. They're gonna go on Instagram 50 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: and say, look at how much smaller than burger? 51 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: Why? 52 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: Don't mean to make it right, don't mean to make 53 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: it like white Castle small, but like, make it just 54 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: a little bit smaller.

I mean, there's nothing he 228 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: couldn't do. He was so good and he was so understated, 229 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: and that's a big thing about the best performances that 230 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: he's had. When you talk about Godfather, so understated, right, 231 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: sharing the screen with all these Hams, right, it's it's 232 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: Paccino and James Kahn and John Cazal and that that 233 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: was the role for John Cazau was to be over 234 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: the top. 235 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 2: But like, Okay, his role. 236 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: In Godfather, it's it's so good because yeah, he's not 237 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: over the top like these guys, but he compliments them 238 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: so well. And that's part of what he could do 239 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: is just dissolve into a role where I don't know 240 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen him in a role where I 241 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: didn't believe. He did that for a living, in the role, 242 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: whether he was at a newspaper with with with Michael Keaton, 243 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: whether he was a lawyer, whether it doesn't matter, he 244 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: always I always believe him. He's a lawyer in a 245 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: civil action. That was another underrated movie that he was in, 246 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, The Natural, which we'll get to in a 247 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: couple seconds. Like the way he was able to just 248 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: you believed he was that. I believed he was the 249 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: crazy guy in Apocalypse Now, Yes, and he was. He 250 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: was in he was in the army, and this is 251 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: who he was. He always found a way to find 252 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: that role and you go, yes, I'm seeing a great 253 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: performance because I believe him in this role. And that's 254 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: hard to do. When you become a big star, sometimes 255 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: it's hard to to to differentiate you from this role, like, Okay, 256 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: you're playing this guy, you're playing this guy, you're playing 257 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: this guy. He's able to know I am just disappearing 258 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: into this role and that's who I am, and that 259 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: that that's such a skill that I don't know, I 260 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe Gene Hackman could do it. 261 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: A little bit. I don't know. 262 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: I don't know many people who could, and every movie 263 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: he was in, whether he was a supporting actor or 264 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: or the lead actor, to go toe to toe with 265 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: all the other great actors that we have seen from 266 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: the early nineteen seventies all the way on.

Right, we talked a little 381 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: bit about Days of Thunder. I learned all I need 382 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: to know about drafting is when Tom Cruise taught Nicole 383 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: Kidman drafting with cars on her legs. Like, I will 384 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: never forget it. I understand drafting. 385 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 4: Now. 386 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: You don't need to explain this to me in speed skating. 387 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: Now I understand drafting.

But when it comes 391 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: to the natural, right, like when I say understated performance, 392 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: Robert Duvall, this is a scene from The Natural that 393 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: is one of the biggest scenes in the movie. 394 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 2: And there's a couple of reasons why this is. This 395 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: is one of the greatest things Duvall has done. 396 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: It's him and Robert Redford near the end of the 397 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: movie where they're finally addressing why they don't like each other. 398 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: And this is where the conversation happens that you get 399 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: a really big quote that people remember from Robert Duval 400 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: and this is the scene from near the end of 401 00:17:59,520 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: the movie. 402 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 3: They come and they go up because they coming, they go, 403 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you someone gonna be around here longer 404 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 3: than you or anybody else around here.

But Robert Duvall, instead of any 459 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: sort of recognition that I never played the game, he 460 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: doesn't care. He just blows right by with no, I 461 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: never did, but I make it more interesting for people, 462 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: never even getting the fact, not even being any self like, 463 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: that's his character, Max Mercy, not self aware of the 464 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: damage he's doing or what he cares about. What kind 465 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: of person he is because you see over the course 466 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: of what a bad guy he is, how slimy and 467 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: smarmy he is. But I'm not even I'm not even 468 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: gonna acknowledge because I don't get that. It doesn't matter 469 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: that I've played the game or not right, because like 470 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: I said, I'll be here around here. I was here before, 471 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: you'll be here after you, right, And now whatever you 472 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: do today, I got a great People are gonna read 473 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: what I write because I got a great story, not 474 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: even acknowledging the fact that I didn't play the game. 475 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: So maybe there's things I don't understand, just blowing right 476 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: past that because it doesn't matter if I played the game, 477 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: And that's where he taps into that character so well, 478 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: and that's how you would expect a guy like Max 479 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: Mercy to respond, because whatever I do is the best, 480 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: and nobody else is gonna make me feel any different 481 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: about how I go about my life and my business. 482 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: And whereas you could see that if they shoot that movie, 483 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: now it's different. Okay, I want to have a big 484 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: emotional scene where I want to mote about this and 485 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: get up and get mad and yell at Robert Redford 486 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: or say, but instead instead, I'm just gonna blow past it, 487 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna pretend like I didn't hear it 488 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: because it's irrelevant to the argument I'm making with him. 489 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: Like that's genius, cold calculated, what keeps the tension there? 490 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: He and Redford in that scene underneath the stadium and everything. 491 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: It's just cold, right, It's just a matter of fact, 492 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: but very indicative of where we're at, right, I need 493 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: a good story. What don't we always say, be good 494 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: or bad? Don't be mediocre because it doesn't matter.
