1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Johnny. I don't know what kind of operation you're running, brother,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: but there is dolls and toys all over the studio.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: You know, we just we just remodeled the studio. The

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: Laugh with Me Studios is seconds away from being and

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: yeah I'm exaggerating with the seconds, but we are so

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: freaking cool to be camera ready for YouTube. Johnny didn't

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: clean up the doll See what happened? Was my daughter?

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I I you know, I set up the studio. It's awesome,

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: like it's it is awesome. And her and her friend

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: have they checked it out. They were like, this is great.

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: Like and I knew I was in trouble when I

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: heard her friends say, oh yeah, I love this.

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: This is this is great.

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: Because now I've lost it every single day after school. Uh,

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: this is now a playroom. I mean there's dolls everywhere.

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: They're watching movies on the tea. There's crackers. There's crackers

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: all over the floor. So it's you know, they're having treats,

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: which is fine. I mean, you know, I'd be in

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: here having drinks sometimes, but I always cleaned up after myself.

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: I would have just assumed that my producer John would

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: have cleaned up, so we were ready to go.

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:48,320

Speaker 2: Yeah, a freaking vetting machine.

36
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: And Johnny, I know that sarcasm. I know that you're

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: the the applause is sarcasm because you see vetting machines everywhere.

38
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: But I want you to really think about it. Do

39
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: you actually see vending machines everywhere anymore? I mean I'm

40
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: talking about canned soda, canned pop, depending on where you're from,

41
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: vending machines. I saw them in the front lobby of Walmart,

42
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: which you always see, right, like that's what you see

43
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: you walk into the lobby Walmart.

44
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: They've got a.

45
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Couple of crane machines. Maybe they're the last ones with

46
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the Red Box.

47
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: They've been bankrupt.

48
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: You know this, just as DVDs are starting to turn

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the quarter and come back, like people are buying DVDs again,

50
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: and the Red Box goes out of business.

51
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: And if you need.

52
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Any further proof that DVDs are back, just go to

60
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: the first time ever, and I'm on the record as

61
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: saying this is something you can't ever find, which is

62
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: the seasons of the show Las Vegas. They have the

63
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: complete series box set on DVD. Blew my mind. So

64
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: for the very first time this week incredible. Did I

65
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: buy it? No? No, I didn't buy it. Do I

66
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: want to buy it? One hundred percent?

67
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: I do. I may go back.

68
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: They only had one left I may go back today

69
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: and get it.

70
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

71
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: Okay, a lot of things going on, but I do

72
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: want to get it, and I do want to watch it.

73
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: It is finally available in streaming. It is on the

74
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: Peacock and that's where I've been watching it lately.

75
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is what it is.

76
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: That's neither here nor there. We're talking about vending machines, baby,

77
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: And there was soda pop vetting machines in the lobby

78
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: of the wal Mart and it got me thinking, Man,

79
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: you don't see those anywhere anymore. You used to see

80
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: them everywhere, right, You used to see them out front

81
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: of stores. You'd see them out front of gas stations,

82
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: out front of grocery stores, you'd see them all over

83
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: the mall. Now you'll you'll find some random ones in

84
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: the mall, you know, maybe in like the walkway to

85
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: like the X to the to the doors. You know,

86
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: you just don't see them like in the flow of

87
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: traffic throughout the stores like anymore. They want you to

88
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: go to, you know, the pretzel shop and get a

89
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: fountain pop or a monster like you you're just not

90
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: buying from vending machines. They're just not readily accessible.

91
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: They should be. They should be.

92
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: That's what I think. Like, uh, stadiums, you know, ballparks

93
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: and arenas and stuff like they're they're now starting to

94
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: put more vending machines or little convenience stores. You just

95
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: grab things and it's kind of like a Veny machine,

96
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: but you're kind of inside of it. Have you not

97
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: seen these? They're like little boxes see through. It's like

98
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: little box. You walk in, grab what you want, you

99
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: scan it, you pay it, and then you leave. It's

100
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: like a Veny machine, but you're you know, you're the

101
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: You're the arm, You're the little spinner thing dropping it

102
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the of the machine. Like that's

103
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: you are it. I like it.

104
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: I like it.

105
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 1: I like the variety, and I like what they offer

106
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: and it's convenient. But the venting machines, man, you steals

107
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: every bowling alleys, Oh venning. Can you miss a venting machine? Not?

108
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: Can you imagine? Do you remember a venting machine at

109
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 1: the bowling alley? That's where attack get your quarters ready.

110
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: People.

111
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: So some of you younger folks will see the show,

112
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: are like, how old is this guy? I'm forty one, Okay,

113
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: I've seen vetting machines kind of miss them. Seeing them

114
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: in Walmarn't yesterday, I was like, you know what, I

115
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: kind I kind of missed the vetting machine. Like they

116
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: were fun. You gotta you gotta have a very crisp

117
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: dollar bill.

118
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: You know.

119
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes the little corner was a little too bent and

120
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: it wouldn't take your dollar. It was kind of a

121
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: battle of will see if you can straighten it out

122
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: to get that dollar. And that was awesome. Now you

123
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: see vending machines where they'll take your card like you

124
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: can tap, and and that that's not as much fun.

125
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: Sure it's convenient, you know, that's great. I'm sure it's

126
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: how they operate in airports, but that's that there's.

127
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: No fun in that.

128
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: It was always there was always a game to see

129
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: if you could get your dollar in there. I enjoyed

130
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: that another place now because you know, venie machines are

131
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: just gone. I don't know if it's just the cost

132
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: of of the goods or costs for the machines, or

133
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: people just aren't buying from them anymore.

134
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

135
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: If I saw a vending machine, I'd probably buy for you.

136
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: You see them, you see them at rest stop still

137
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: that's a good place for a vending machine. But that's

138
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: another one where they're not really doing the dollars anymore.

139
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Now it's like you can use your card and how

140
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: how uh you know much? That would suck if you

141
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: go to like a rest stop and you're like, I need,

142
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: I need any caffeine right now, keep me awake.

143
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: I'm on the internst.

144
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm driving, okay, I'm gonna be going all night, and

145
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: you try to put your dollar in. It's the little corner.

146
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: The little corner is too bent for you to be

147
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: able to get your caffeine. And then you start going

148
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: driving and you fall asleep on the road like that.

149
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: Those are real life things that could happen. So I

150
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: guess it is appropriate to be able to use your

151
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: card now at the vending machine. But I did enjoy

152
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the game, you know. It was fun, whether it was

153
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: the dollar bill or finding enough coins. And then there's

154
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: always the chance you put your money in and it

155
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: accept it and you would make your choice and you

156
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't get what you wanted because it would get jammed

157
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,120

159
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,599
Speaker 1: was part of the gamble. You didn't know what was

160
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Actually, if you were a kid, then you

Speaker 1: they're doing so much for you by having your pizza party.

227
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: Have you seen this story about the tunnels in Los Angeles?

228
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: Did you know that there's an entire tunnel system hidden

229
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 3: deep beneath the streets of downtown LA. In fact, it's

230
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: estimated that these tunnels span eleven miles in total. These

231
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: tunnels have been used for a variety of reasons throughout history,

232
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: most famously during LA's prohibition era from the nineteen twenties

233
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: to the nineteen thirties, where these tunnels were used as

234
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 3: secret passageway to speak easies where people would basically throw

235
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 3: underground parties, for example the King Eddie Saloon, which had

236
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: a basement that connected to this exact tunnel system. But

237
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 3: besides Prohibition, these tunnels are used to connect main government

238
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: buildings like the Hall of Justice, the Clara Shortridge Folds

239
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: Criminal Justice Center, and the Stanley Moss Courthouse, and In

240
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 3: the nineteen fifties, these tunnels were used to transport high

241
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: profile criminals during their trial, like notorious LA mobster at

242
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: Mickey Cohen. The tunnels have also been used to transport

243
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: some of LA's most valuable assets without anybody knowing. In

244
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty, the LAPD stage Operation Midnight, which was a

245
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 3: plan to move everybody's property taxes, which at the time

246
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: were all paid for in cash, to their new hal

247
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: of administration. So at one point one billion dollars in

248
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: cash was flowing underneath the LA streets and nobody was

249
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: the wiser. Nowadays, most tunnels are cut off, but they

250
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: are still being used for filming locations and shortcuts for

251
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: government employees. But you can still technically find access to them,

252
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: and you can even take tours of what are essentially

253
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: LA back rooms. Some entrances are even hidden in plain sight.

254
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: Would you ever venture down to LA's tunnels? Could you

255
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 3: even know they existed?

256
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: And let me know?

257
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: So apparently there have been these tunnels under the city

258
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles for a long time, like eleven miles

259
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: worth of tunnels, and it's kind of a known thing.

260
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know about it, but I guess somebody's like,

261
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: oh my, my NDA expired and I now get to

262
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: speak on the tunnels under Los Angeles. There's service tunnels, right,

263
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: so they that's how back like early nineteen hundreds, back

264
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: that's how they were smuggling booze and even when you

265
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: could drink alcohol, that's how people were getting to the

266
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: speakeasies was through these secret passageways, right allegedly because the

267
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: prohibition years just crushed Los Angeles. So people were going

268
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: through these tunnels in order to go have a drink

269
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: at the bar. But apparently somebody has started this like

270
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: rumor or speculation. I don't know if it's rumor as

271
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: much as they're saying that it's fact. And they're saying

272
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: that the celebrities in Hollywood are using these tunnels to

273
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: get around, and that's why you never see them out

274
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: and about. That's why you never see celebrities like Will Smith,

275
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, out walking around because he's using these tunnels

276
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: to get places. Well, no, I listen, I don't live

277
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, but I have spent some time in California.

278
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on a limb and say you don't

279
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: see Will Smith out and about very much anymore because

280
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,479
Speaker 1: he slapped the shit out of Chris Rock at the Oscars.

281
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he's just finally getting back to working again.

282
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: Highly doubt he's using these tunnels. In fact, most of

283
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: the tunnels, it appears, are completely closed and i'll close

284
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: off from the public. Some of them you can do

285
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: or though, like it's legal to go tour, you can

286
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: you can find access to. I don think it'd be

287
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: kind of cool to to find.

288
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: A tunnel, but I don't know.

289
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Apparently police sometimes use the tunnels to transport prisoners and

290
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: take like large sums of cash. Here, here's one of

291
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: the places you can uh if you're if you're in

292
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, check this out. There's a uh let's see

293
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: one three one East fifth Street, Los Angeles, California. The

294
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: King Eddie came, Oh no, hold on, speak easy, King

295
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: Eddie opened to speak easy. In the basement of this place,

296
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: King Eddie Saloon. That's where you gotta go. And apparently

297
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: there is a path in the tunnel down there to

298
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: uh to you know how these underground tunnels, I don't know.

299
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: I'd like to do it to a tour. I think,

300
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: see if I can find anything out. It's kinda. It's

301
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: kind of wild. If they have these tunnels in Los Angeles,

302
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they have these tunnels in other parts of

303
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: the country. I mean, I've heard, you know, you've heard

304
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: about the tunnels in like New York and New Orleans

305
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: down south? Didn't they have a underground railroad? Did they

306
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: run trains down there? So you know, that's uh, that's

307
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: I guess America has a history of these underground tunnels,

308
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: but this LA one, it's all new to me. This

309
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: TikToker underground LA He's uh, he's all over it. So

310
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: if you want to find out more about the secret

311
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: tunnels under Los Angeles, check that out. I I I

312
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: googled secret Tunnels under LA and there is so much stuff.

313
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: You've seen these like new the new thing when you

314
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: go to the movies. The popcorn buckets, you know that

315
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: are kind of novel novelty items where they kind of

316
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: are shaped by something like the movie like coming out

317
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: soon Gladiator two. Now, first of all, before we get

318
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: into the popcorn bucket, I just want to say I've

319
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: never seen Gladiator one. Yeah, don't tell anybody, but I've

320
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: never seen Gladiator one, So I do have to wonder

321
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: do I need to see the first one before seeing

322
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: the second one, because the second one's getting like real reviewals,

323
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: Like people are saying this movie is going to bring

324
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: back movies. Well, No, Terrifier three brought back movies, and

325
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is low budget, great creativity,

326
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: fun movies for people to want to go to theater

327
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: and see. That's what I mean by brought back theaters.

328
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: But apparently this is going to bring back big budget

329
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: ass movies with stars. But they've got these buckets so

330
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: it looks like the coliseum, right, the pop corn bucket does,

331
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna eat your popcorn and then at

332
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: the bottom use a QR code and it's gonna look

333
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: like there's a battle going on within the coliseum. And

334
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of cool, right, And you've seen

335
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: like the Venom, you know, the new Venom movies out

336
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: right now you can get a Venom shaped bucket or whatever.

337
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: And you've seen you've seen the buckets like the Deadpool

338
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: and Wolverine ones that it looked like you were shoving

339
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: something in their mouth. Like those were all fun, right,

340
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: those were all fun. I've got some new ideas though,

341
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: I think it can go further than just the popcorn bucket.

342
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: Like I think this is probably where we're just beginning

343
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: with the novelty type stuff of the movies, because it's

344
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: no longer just going to the movies like it used

345
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: to be. Hey, I'm going to see the movie. I'm

346
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: gonna go see Titanic, and I'm gonna see it three

347
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: freaking times because it's that awesome. Then I needed to

348
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: see it on a bigger screen with better sound, right Imax.

349
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I need the Imax experience with the Dolby sound.

350
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: That wasn't good enough.

351
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Then I needed come for your chairs, a little more

352
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: room in my chair. I needed to be able to

353
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: have no arm rest in between me and my guest, okay,

354
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: And then became a little couch situation.

355
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: Then if it.

356
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: Came, I needed the seat to reclined. Okay, Okay, Now

357
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 1: for us guys and gallats, I suppose, But I know

358
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: for a fact I know other guys that have this issue.

359
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: I fall asleep some dick. I've doze it in and out.

360
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: A few times.

361
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: What's upon a time in Hollywood? Saw that movie in theaters.

362
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: That's a long ass movie. Yeah, I fell asleep. Lot

363
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: dialogue especially when you're reclining. And then they added heated seats.

364
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: All right, I'm comfortable. And they've got different ones where

365
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, you get like a little mist in your

366
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: face during water scenes or there's a movie coming out,

367
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: I guess you're gonna be able to smell grape or

368
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: something like that during a certain scene. I don't know.

369
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why that matters, but that's the movie

370
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: experience anymore. So. Now we've got the popcorn buckets, right,

371
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: that's cool.

372
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: Those are fun.

373
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: Yet to see one in person, but I see them

374
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: all over the Twitter. How about this the next time

375
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: there's a frat party movie coming out, which hopefully there is.

376
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: Those are freaking fun. How about a cup for your

377
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: pop that looks like a keg and you can kind

378
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: of like tap it at the top. Or hey, all

379
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: these movie theaters now sell beer. Why not have a

380
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: special beer that you have to kind of tap at

381
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: the top like a keg. There you go, a little

382
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: minikegs while you're watching the movie. That'd be freaking awesome.

383
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: You do little keg stands while you're watching the movie.

384
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: I thought for the Venom movie, it might be cool

385
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: if they like they like colored the popcorn, so it

386
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: was like black and white to add a little bit

387
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: to it. But you know, and then it's dark in

388
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: there when you're watching the movie.

389
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

390
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: I thought that might be kind of cool though inside Out,

391
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: you know, fun kids movie, talking a lot about your feelings. Okay,

392
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: I thought for the next one, when they do inside

393
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: Out three, which I'm sure they will because the first

394
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: two were just monster hits. How about for inside Out three,

395
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: you could buy a candy that's in a prescription bottle,

396
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: and you're a liar if you say that's a bad idea.

397
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: I would sell so much candy, so much candy. Oh Johnny,

398
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: it's good to have you back, Johnny Pualermo. Everybody back
